Chapter 1710 — A Beauty Beyond Compare

Emperor Yanfeng reigned for nineteen years—nineteen years are not enough to prepare so many Sun Boats and Sun Springs. " Another spoke in a low voice: "To build so many Sun Boats and Sun Springs would require forty to fifty years of preparation!

It was during the reign of that lady—that one's consort—that construction began! Even then, that lady was already planning how to respond to the sun's disappearance.

" During Ling Yuxiu's reign, she had redesigned the Sun Boats and Sun Springs, improved the artificial suns of the Kaihuang era, and secretly built many Sun Springs throughout Jingping.

Now, at last, they served their purpose. When the Heavenly Court's three armies and the various forces arrived at the Broken Cliff, before they could even form ranks, they heard the sound of a qin.

A guqin flew before the two armies, plucking itself with no one at the strings. Then a sandglass flew over and hung suspended before the Broken Cliff. Before long, great radiance blazed in the sky, and a Dao Tree descended from the heavens, its branches hung with Dao Fruits—yet beneath the tree, there was no one.

The Heavenly Court's three armies halted, not daring to advance. Emperor Haotian smiled faintly and said: "The bandit Heavenly Venerates—Moon Heavenly Venerate, Cloud Heavenly Venerate, and Lady Tianyin—have arrived.

" Behind the Heavenly Court's formation, two Dao Trees and a Guixu Abyss emerged, anchoring both sides' positions.

Within the Heavenly Court's ranks, one treasure hall after another rose into the air, suffused with the fortune of powerful beings from the universe of the past, suppressing all before them! Then various heavy treasures from the Ancestral Court emerged, their momentum shaking heaven and earth!

Suddenly, a World Tree thrust in and planted itself behind Carefree Township. Fifty supreme treasures of the heavenly dao flew from the tree and scattered throughout Carefree Township.

A molten lava horn rose slowly from behind the Heavenly Court, lava flowing along its length, forming a long river of magma behind the Heavenly Court.

Then a River of the Underworld emerged, revolving around that horn.

At this moment, a lantern flew out from the Yuan World's Dark Capital, hanging upon the Grand Imperial Heaven, its light dim and uncertain.

Two Grand Taiji Ancient Gods exchanged a glance, then raised the Taiji Sandbox, which transformed in the air into a Taiji Star Domain, black and white revolving.

At that very moment, behind Carefree Township, a round, plump youth bounded and leapt like the wind, jumping from one mountain peak to another, then suddenly hurled himself into the air, leaping onto the thirty-third heaven of Carefree Township.

Opening his mouth, he spat out his companion supreme treasure, the Blue Empyrean Mirror, hanging it above the heavens of the Grand Clarity Realm. Upon the Grand Clarity Realm, the Blue Empyrean Mirror blazed with light, standing in distant opposition to the Taiji Sandbox.

In the sky behind the Heavenly Court army, the vast face of the Heavenly Lord emerged, covering half the firmament. His snow-white long eyebrows hung down like long white streamers, falling from the sky all the way to the ground.

Behind the Heavenly Lord's face were sun after sun, and before those suns stood divine temples and treasure carriages, countless Sun Wardens burning the western sky crimson red.

Rumble!

A violent tremor came from behind Carefree Township. The earth split open, and one divine golden wheel after another thrust across half the Yuan World, each half submerged in the Yuan World's Dark Capital and half in the world of the living! Shen Fengqing's head bore two horns, his body wreathed in the Dao of the Dark Capital transformed from its demonic qi.

His three eyes tightly shut, he rose from the Dark Capital, his six arms spread wide, palms on the verge of touching the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels.

The Six Paths Heavenly Wheels each revolved in different directions. The Dao of Reincarnation, born from the Dao of the Dark Capital, began to turn.

Emperor Haotian, Taichu, and the Empress who had transformed into Lady Yuanmu could not help but be moved.

Each rose and stepped forward, gazing across Carefree Township and the Grand Imperial Heaven toward those Six Paths Heavenly Wheels.

The master of the Spirit Official Hall could not resist stepping out as well. He had still failed to decipher Shen Mu's sword dao and could not grow a head; he had no choice but to peer with the three eyes on his chest, praising in a low voice: "The Seventh Young Master is remarkable—even such a divine weapon can be forged!

This treasure is extraordinary, truly extraordinary! " "Zaofu Celestial Palace, deploy the Divine Weapon Heavenly Venerates!

" At Emperor Haotian's command, the master of Zaofu Celestial Palace, Star Prison Heavenly Venerate, opened the gates of Zaofu Celestial Palace.

Within, one Divine Weapon Heavenly Venerate after another grew ever more colossal, standing within the celestial palace, their might terrifying to behold. Not only that—within Zaofu Celestial Palace were also all manner of Four Emperors' divine weapons, Heavenly Lord's divine weapons, and Earth Earl's divine weapons!

Though the Heavenly Court's Creation Divine Weapon had been destroyed, Star Prison Heavenly Venerate was a prodigy of the dao of creation. Drawing on the Heavenly Court's wealth, he had forged many powerful divine weapons, earning deep favor from Emperor Haotian. At this very moment, Emperor Haotian's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw a youth walking out from Carefree Township.

Lan Yutian. Behind Lan Yutian stood one Lan Yutian after another.

Those were Jingping's Creation Divine Weapons—the Divine Weapon Heavenly Venerates they had manufactured!

And it was Lan Yutian himself who had overseen the foundries, allowing Jingping's master craftsmen to survey and measure, personally participating in the design—creating these Divine Weapon Heavenly Venerates! Emperor Haotian laughed aloud, riding his imperial carriage out from the Heavenly Court army, and proclaimed in a clear voice: "Mu Heavenly Venerate, since you have come, why not show yourself and meet Us?

" The Ark of Salvation rounded the Grand Imperial Heaven and sailed leisurely forward.

At the golden ship's prow stood Shen Mu, both hands resting on the gunwale, facing Emperor Haotian from afar.

Between the two of them lay the Broken Cliff of the Yuan World.

The Broken Cliff was immeasurable in height, precipitous beyond compare.

"You were born a beauty—why then become a bandit? " Emperor Haotian's gaze fell upon Shen Mu's face as he spoke in a haunting tone.
