Chapter 1761 — The First Battle for Supremacy

When the army of Carefree Land arrived, the Heavenly Court's counterattack was ferocious beyond measure.

Ever since the Heavenly Court had come to the Origin World, it had held the offensive from first to last; though there had been victories and defeats, the overall momentum had never shifted.

But now Carefree Land and Jingping had eaten bear hearts and leopard gall, daring to take the initiative and attack, attempting to reverse the tide of fate. To every soldier of the Heavenly Court, this was absolutely intolerable.

When Carefree Land pushed forward to the front of the Heavenly Court's main camp, the Heavenly King Huang Tianxi could no longer sit still. He led a vast army out to kill, and the Heavenly Court's forces surged forth like a tide, blotting out the sky and covering the sun!

The Carefree Land strongmen bearing the coffin stood at the very front, watching the Heavenly Court's tiger-and-wolf army charge head-on, watching all manner of dao arts and divine powers rise from the enemy camp like a sudden ten-thousand-zhang tidal wave of divine light sweeping toward them. The sight was enough to drive one to despair! Along with the divine powers of the Heavenly Court's soldiers came tens of thousands of divine weapons, those treasures weaving through the surging tide of powers, the divine weapons constantly transforming, their divine might unfathomable!

The divine-power strongmen of Carefree Land had beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads, yet they did not move a muscle, silently awaiting the command of the Woodcutter Wen Tiange. They had an inexplicable faith in the Woodcutter Wen Tiange; even facing such a terrifying spectacle, their confidence did not diminish in the slightest.

The tide of the Heavenly Court soldiers' divine powers and divine weapons came with incredible speed, drawing ever closer, yet the Woodcutter Sage still did not give the order. The tidal wave of divine powers and divine weapons crossed a hundred li in the blink of an eye, now only about a hundred zhang away, and behind that surging tide was the tiger-and-wolf army of the Eastern Heavenly King Huang Tianxi!

At that very moment, from behind them came the Woodcutter's voice: "Open the coffin!

To battle!

" Those divine-power strongmen heaved the coffin open, and suddenly dao might surged forth, and the World Tree rose into the air! Shen Mu sat upright in the coffin beneath the tree, motionless, when suddenly his Divine Treasury Domain erupted, roaring and expanding.

Huang Tianxi was the Eastern Heavenly King of the Heavenly Court, an existence capable of contending with the Four-Colored Great Emperors.

When Shen Mu had fought the Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master, Huang Tianxi too had been trapped within Shen Mu's domain, and he held a deep shadow in his heart regarding Shen Mu's Divine Treasury Domain.

Seeing Shen Mu's domain erupt, he could not help but murmur: "My life is finished!

" Yet though Shen Mu's Divine Treasury spread out and drew Huang Tianxi's army into it, the Divine Treasury Domain did not activate; instead, it took in the entire army of Carefree Land in one sweep. The soldiers of Carefree Land had been through dozens of battles great and small, had endured the battle of Carefree Land's destruction, the battle of the retreat to Jingping, and the defense of Lanfeng, and now only two hundred thousand remained. Compared to the Heavenly Court's armies that numbered in the tens of millions at every turn, this force was not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth!

At this moment these two hundred thousand soldiers stood within Shen Mu's domain, and instantly it was as though eyes had grown before and behind them, to left and right, making them perceive every divine power of the Heavenly Court as clearly as a flame in the dark, even clearer than a flame in the dark! Each of them could see every aspect of the Heavenly Court's gods and demons' divine powers, could even see inside each divine power, clearly perceiving the composition of every technique.

Not only that, even the divine weapons the Heavenly Court raised were seen by them with perfect clarity: the transformations of the runes within the divine weapons, the patterns of their operation, the internal structure of the divine weapons, the formations concealed within, all laid out before their eyes! This was precisely the wondrous use of Shen Mu's Divine Treasury.

The soldiers immediately employed their various methods, and before the Heavenly Court army's divine powers and divine weapons could strike the Carefree Land strongmen and Shen Mu's coffin, they shattered the entire first wave of attack!

Chi chi chi— The divine-power strongmen bearing Shen Mu's coffin had their faces and bodies grazed by the aftershocks of divine powers and fragments of divine weapons, opening wound after wound, yet they still held the coffin motionless. Some were even pierced through the chest by blade fragments, but still they stood there.

"Mu Tianzun! " In the Heavenly Court's camp, the commanders of the various armies were leading their troops charging out of the camp, and seeing this they all halted their charge, raising their heads to look, startled and uncertain.

Huang Tianxi too immediately checked the momentum of his army's charge, staring in alarm toward Shen Mu sitting in the coffin ahead. As the first wave of Huang Tianxi's army was shattered, the divine light dispersed, and the formation of Carefree Land became clear.

They saw that although Shen Mu's Divine Treasury Domain had spread out, fifty massive pillars gleaming with cold light pierced through his Thirty-Three Heavens Domain!

Those were fifty Dao-Slaying Divine Nails! The Dao-Slaying Divine Nails pinned Shen Mu's Divine Treasury Domain, piercing not only Shen Mu's domain but also the fifty wounds the Third Young Master had left in his physical body.

Shen Mu's Divine Treasury was like an independent universe, one with his physical body; the fifty nails passing through his flesh also passed through his Divine Treasury.

Not only that, the fifty wounds the Seventh Young Master had left him were also deeply branded into his Divine Treasury, but were suppressed by those fifty massive nails passing through them, holding down the dao wounds within. His injuries were far more severe than they appeared!

This made everyone in the Heavenly Court breathe a sigh of relief.

At the center of the Heavenly Court's main camp, the Great Emperor Haotian let out a long breath, swiftly stepping forward two paces, a look of shock and delight appearing on his face as he laughed loudly: "Old thief Mu, your day has come at last!

Soldiers, hear my command, trample these rebels flat! I will hang the heads of these traitors all over my palace!

" The greatest shadow Shen Mu cast over the Heavenly Court was his strange and unfathomable Divine Treasury.

In Shen Mu's battle with the two Young Masters, the Divine Treasury Domain had nearly shattered the confidence and faith of everyone in the Heavenly Court.

If Shen Mu could still unleash the power of his Divine Treasury, then no one in this battle could contend with him! But the current situation was this: Shen Mu was no longer unfathomable.

This time Carefree Land had taken the initiative to attack, and instead had thoroughly ruined Shen Mu's mysterious aspect, making the Heavenly Court's soldiers no longer fear Shen Mu's Divine Treasury Domain.

The various armies of the Heavenly Court immediately set out. Huang Tianxi took the lead, leading his troops charging forward, crying loudly: "Destroy Carefree Land, capture Mu Tianzun alive!
