荒墟牧神 - 第754章 素衣坦蕩少俠遊 - 雲海書庫

"To open the Heavenly Palace, one must summon the power of the many gods within the flesh." On the divine altar, amid the god-storehouse apparition conjured from Shen Mu's vital essence, the sun and moon within the Primordial Embryo god-storehouse lit up, and his voice traveled through the great hall of the separate palace, unhurried, calm, utterly composed: "The Primordial Embryo god-storehouse: the Great Sun Star Lord, the Taiyin Star Lord." Within that god-storehouse apparition, the stars of the Five Luminaries kindled one after another, and the Five Luminary Star Lords stood upon star after star. "The god-storehouse of the Five Luminaries! Lord Zhenxing, Lord Yinghuo, Lord Taibai, Lord Chenxing, Lord Suixing!" "The god-storehouse of the Six Directions! The Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign, who by deep virtue bears all things!" "The god-storehouse of the Seven Stars! Seven stars strung like pearls, seven gods joining strength!" "The god-storehouse of Heaven and Man! The stars of the whole celestial circuit, the many star gods and star lords of the constellations, Tiangong lending power!" "The god-storehouse of Life and Death! Great is the Dark Capital; the gods command the souls; Tubo lends power!" "The god-storehouse of the Divine Bridge! The primordial spirit shall be the god among gods!" ... In the god-storehouse apparition formed from Shen Mu's vital essence, the radiance of deity after deity blazed up; he was borrowing the power of the many ancient gods of the Heavenly Court, while the primordial spirit of the divine-powered was the Heavenly Emperor, symbol of all authority over all things. "With this done, borrowing the power of the Heavenly Court, all the gods take their places, drawing in the might of the Heavenly Court, and imprinting it upon the Heavenly Palace!" Shen Mu cried in a low voice. In the apparition, the deities lent their strength, and the power grew ever mightier; the energies of the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Jade Pool, the God-Slaying Terrace, the Jade Capital City, the Lingxiao Hall, the Imperial Throne, all those structures the ancient gods had forged with their own power, were drawn forth and, before the Divine Bridge, gradually took shape as a Heavenly Palace. The crowd stared dumbly at the sight; all around was silence, and no one spoke. Just like that, the Heavenly Palace was opened up; another realm, incomparably magnificent, thronging with grandeur, appeared before everyone's eyes. That was a monumental feat, a feat that made man the equal of gods! A realm that could carry them into the age of myth! A long while later, someone finally cheered: "Yutianzun!" "Yutianzun!" "Yutianzun!" Everywhere people were cheering, the waves of sound shaking the heavens. Haotianzun stared blankly at the scene, a gloom settling in his heart: "So I do not have that kind of appeal... If he is not Yutianzun, then how does he know the way to become a god? Unless..." A thought rose in his mind, so terrible it made him shudder: "Is Yutianzun truly still alive? No, no. I clearly killed him; Yin Zhaojin destroyed his soul. He cannot still be alive! And besides, that Existence has already confirmed it. That Existence cannot be mistaken..." A chill crept over him. If Yutianzun were still alive, then why had Yutianzun not struck him down with his own hand? Was Yutianzun wary of that Existence behind him? Did Yutianzun harbor some greater design? In this world, few could truly make him wary, and Yutianzun was one of them. Before Yutianzun he always felt himself a head shorter, always felt himself inferior to Yutianzun. Though his own talents were outstanding, whenever he saw Yutianzun an involuntary sense of inferiority rose in his heart. Therefore he had to kill him; he must rid himself of Yutianzun, rid himself of the god in his own heart! And now, was this god who pressed down on him until he could not breathe about to return? "He must die!" he thought to himself. At that moment Shen Mu's voice came: "Haotianzun, it
