Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Goddess, don't worry. The ten Celestial Venerables are on the same side, so I have long lost hope in you. I'll wait here for Celestial Empress to have other plans."

His gaze went past Celestial Empress and landed on Xie Wuqi and Crown Prince Ming Ya.

Celestial Empress came to his front and blocked his line of sight.

Even though Qin Mu was the strongest practitioner in the world, Celestial Empress wasn't afraid at all. She even opposed him with equal harshness. "I have already achieved the Great Dao in the Ruins of End. I don't dare to say that my abilities are unrivaled in this world, but even if the person in your shadow teamed up with you, he still wouldn't be able to stop me. If you want to lay your hands on me and take the chance to get rid of me, you are underestimating me too much."

Qin Mu revealed a look of astonishment and said, "Goddess has already cultivated the Chaotic Lotus Seed?"

Celestial Empress was astonished. "You also know about the Chaotic Lotus Seed?"

Qin Mu smiled and asked, "In that case, has your lotus bloomed?"

Celestial Empress felt a chill down her spine and took a step back.

Qin Mu's words made her slightly fearful. Through a sentence from the master of Miluo Palace, she had comprehended the true method of achieving the path of the second young master of Miluo Palace. She felt that she was invincible in this world, and only a prehistoric existence like Hall Master Spirit Official had the ability to surpass her. However, if she was right, even Hall Master Spirit Official wouldn't be able to take her down!

That was why she had charged through the battlefield alone and entered deep into the enemy's territory to meet her son, Xie Wuqi.

However, what she didn't expect was that not only did Qin Mu know about the Chaotic Lotus Seed, he even asked her if the lotus had bloomed!

Why did Qin Mu know the Ruins of End like the back of his hand?

Even though Celestial Empress had achieved the Great Dao of the Ruins of End, she had only grown a lotus leaf. There was no shadow of a lotus flower, much less a lotus flower in full bloom.

'Looks like Goddess didn't manage to make the lotus bloom.'

Qin Mu's divine treasure realm opened up, and he saw that in the abyss of the Ruins of End, the primal chaos was like an ocean. A lotus flower and two lotus leaves floated silently on the sea.

Celestial Empress' gaze landed on his Chaos Sea as she looked at the lotus flower. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "You have already cultivated to this step? When did you become a Dao?"

"So this is the Sinkhole achieving the Dao."

Qin Mu examined his own Ruins of End and shook his head. "I didn't even know I had achieved the path, so I have to thank Goddess for reminding me. In my opinion, it's still not enough to just grow a lotus flower. I still need a lotus root, a lotus seed head, and lotus seed. Only then can my cultivation be considered successful. Goddess, even if you succeed in the Ruins of End, you are still far from it."

Celestial Empress had a cold expression. She suddenly smiled and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you aren't really from the Ruins of End. You are merely borrowing the lotus seed that Second Young Master gave you to plant the lotus. Your Ruins of End lotus is the same as your World Tree. They are both fake and not from your cultivation! You can't scare me!"

Qin Mu laughed and retracted his divine treasure realm. "Whether I have really achieved the path is not something Goddess can guess. I have a presumptuous request for meeting Goddess."

Celestial Empress said indifferently, "Just say it, I might not agree."

Qin Mu said seriously, "This unreasonable request of mine is extremely simple, and it's also extremely beneficial to Goddess. Since Goddess has achieved the Dao, you must know how to achieve the Ruins of End. Celestial Venerable Hao will naturally ask you for the Ruins of End to achieve the Dao."

Celestial Empress revealed a smile and said, "What you mean is for me to take this chance to impart the method of the Mirror of Ruins to Celestial Venerable Hao?"

Qin Mu shook his head. "What I mean is that even if Goddess imparts the true path of the Ruins of End to him, it's fine. However, you must never impart the Mirror of Ruins to him!"

Celestial Empress was stunned, and she suddenly chuckled. "Are you afraid that the second young master of the Miluo Palace will come out from the Ruins of End? The majestic Celestial Venerable Mu, the seventh young master of the Miluo Palace, actually has someone to fear!"

Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and his gaze landed on her face. He said coldly, "Celestial Empress, haven't you realized? Your personality is becoming more similar to Mistress Yuanmu's!"

Celestial Empress burst into laughter. "I used the method of reincarnation to reincarnate and imitate the character of the little slut. I did it flawlessly, and even Celestial Venerable Hao and the adulterer couldn't see anything. Celestial Venerable Mu, you taught me, right?"

Qin Mu's pupils contracted, and the eye at the heart of his brows opened up to stare at her. After a moment, the eye at the heart of his brows closed, and he said, "I can naturally see it. The danger of the second young master of Miluo Palace is even greater than that of the third and fourth young masters of Miluo Palace. If you impart Celestial Venerable Hao the Mirror of Return to Ruins, he will definitely find it hard to defend against. He will definitely be taken advantage of by the second young master to possess half of his body…"

"You're too late."

Celestial Empress' expression changed, and she said, "I have already imparted the Mirror of Ruins to Celestial Venerable Hao, so he is most likely cultivating now. Celestial Venerable Mu, is there anything else? If not, don't block my way back."

Qin Mu's mind buzzed, and his voice was slightly hoarse. "You imparted it to him? Celestial Empress, do you know what you are doing? Do you know why the master of Miluo Palace wants to suppress second young master?"

Celestial Empress raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "What does that have to do with me?"

Qin Mu took in a deep breath and took a step forward to stand in front of her. He looked down at her from above and said solemnly, "What Second Young Master wants to do is something that even the master of Miluo Palace is afraid of, which is why he has no choice but to suppress her! You imparted the Mirror of the Ruins of End to Celestial Venerable Hao to release this devil king! This universe doesn't have another master of Miluo Palace!"

Celestial Empress frowned. She was unhappy that he was so close to her. "Celestial Venerable Mu, do you still remember the last time you chopped off your hand in the main palace of the ancestral court? You are too impudent."

Qin Mu took another step forward and almost stuck close to her. He said coldly, "It seems like Celestial Empress still hasn't realized the crux of the matter. The aim of the second young master of Miluo Palace is to destroy all life, all the universes, and return all the universes to their most primitive state! Not only will Miluo Palace and Jade Capital City be destroyed, but even the entire seventeenth universe will be completely destroyed by her!"

Celestial Empress' aura burst forth, and the entire Supreme Emperor Heaven was warped by her terrifying power. It was like a pie that had sunk into the center, falling in all directions!

'Looks like Celestial Venerable Mu still hasn't learned his lesson…'

The power of Celestial Empress who had become a Dao practitioner burst forth, and she was about to make a move when her right wrist was severed, and fresh blood poured out!

Celestial Empress was astonished and quickly retreated. She executed her paths, skills, and divine arts, and her palms grew rapidly. She gathered all of her magic power and pushed her hands forward!

A huge abyss suddenly appeared, and Supreme Emperor Heaven was stretched out like a twisted noodle. It was dragged by the terrifying power of the Ruins of End and almost split apart!

"Celestial Empress, you have disappointed me! In that case, what's the point of me keeping you?"

Right at this moment, Qin Mu took a step forward, and the distorted Supreme Emperor Heaven was flattened. It no longer collapsed into Celestial Empress' divine art.

Celestial Empress' qi and blood churned from the tremors, and she pushed her hands out. The lotus leaves of the abyss spread out, and the primordial qi in the chaos pool in the abyss surged. It passed through the lotus leaves and transformed into her own magic power.

The power of those who achieved the Dao in the Ruins of End came from the primordial chaos. Through the lotus of the Ruins of End, it was transformed into an invincible power that could devour everything!

This was the first battle since Celestial Empress achieved her Dao!

Even though Qin Mu's battle achievements in recent years weren't ordinary, the battle of Youdu and the ultimate battle of the void all had remarkable results. However, Qin Mu wasn't a true practitioner of the path, so she had the confidence to kill him!

However, just as her cultivation was raised to the extreme, Qin Mu used his hand as a sword and slashed forward!

His palm sliced through Celestial Empress' Great Abyss of Ruins divine art, and it was like an incomparably sharp sword slicing through tofu, slicing apart Celestial Empress' divine art!

Not only did his strike slice open the abyss, it even sliced apart the lotus leaves in the abyss!

The chaos pool under the lotus leaf was the foundation stone of Celestial Empress' Dao. In front of Qin Mu's sword, the chaos pool was actually sliced into two!

Not only that, but the chaos pool actually exploded violently as if it was splitting apart heaven and earth. It was as if the universe had just been born. Accompanied by an incomparably loud and clear bell sound, the chaos pool expanded outwards like two divine bells facing each other!

In an instant, Celestial Empress' cultivation was about to turn into nothingness, evolving into the forms of Tai Yi, Tai Chu, and the other Five Ancient Gods!

Celestial Empress gave a shout and flew back. She allowed her cultivation to evolve into the five deities, transforming into the starry sky of the universe. Suddenly, she executed her divine art and transformed the universe into annihilation, restoring her cultivation to its original state!

The Dao of the Ruins of End was not only the Dao of Destruction, but it also contained the Dao of Origin and Life. The secrets of the universe's life and death were all in the Ruins of End.

Celestial Empress was able to achieve the Great Dao in the Ruins of End, so she could naturally master both states.

Qin Mu snorted and took another step forward. His five fingers opened up and transformed into a red rope divine art, striking towards Celestial Empress!

The divine arts under Celestial Empress' feet burst forth, and Crown Prince Ming Ya and Xie Wuqi behind her couldn't stand still and fell towards her.

And under Celestial Empress' feet, the abyss of the Ruins of End appeared and swallowed Crown Prince Ming Ya and Xie Wuqi!

Celestial Empress raised her hand to block Qin Mu's red rope mudra and was struck by five terrifying forces into her body. Loud bangs came from her corporeal body as her arms, legs, and even her head exploded!

Yet with a flash of blood light, Celestial Empress returned to normal!

The Ruins of End formed the path, the changes in life and death, Celestial Empress was almost invincible!

Chi!

Qin Mu retracted his four fingers and tapped the heart of Celestial Empress' brows with his index finger.

Celestial Empress' mind was muddled, and she knew she was no match for him. She immediately sank into the abyss and fell into it!

The vertical eye at the heart of Qin Mu's brows opened up, and with a hum, a beam of Primordial Light shone out, piercing through the abyss!

Celestial Empress' figure fluttered her long sleeves in the abyss to avoid the primordial divine light in Qin Mu's eyes, but how could she avoid it? Soon, her corporeal body was riddled with holes.

In the shadow behind Qin Mu, Shang Jun's figure flashed out like a ghost, about to enter the abyss.

Suddenly, the vertical eye at the heart of Qin Mu's brows closed and raised his hand to block him. He shook his head and said, "Shang Jun, there's no need to chase."

Shang Jun took a step back and disappeared into his shadow again.

The abyss closed and vanished.

Qin Mu waved his sleeves and rose up step by step. He came to the sky above Carefree Village's 33 heavens, where a Grand Overarching Qi Celestial Heavens was floating. The light of the Dao Tree shone through the 36 voids, making it look sacred and extraordinary.

Qin Mu quickly walked to the Dao Tree, and Celestial Venerable Yun walked out to greet him.

"Brother Yun, when you were in the abyss of the Ruins of End, how did Celestial Empress transform into Mistress Yuanmu?" Qin Mu couldn't be bothered with small talk and asked.

Celestial Venerable Yun said, "She borrowed the Dao of Reincarnation and reincarnated her consciousness in her body, transforming into Mistress Yuanmu…"

"So that's the problem!" Qin Mu came to a realization.

Celestial Venerable Yun was puzzled.

"Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu are actually the consciousnesses of the Ruins of End's goddess. They are just two different personalities. When Celestial Empress is in control, executing the divine art of reincarnation to transform into Yuanmu means that Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu have become one."

Qin Mu said, "I met Celestial Empress earlier and realized that they had already started to merge."

Celestial Venerable Yun's expression changed slightly, and he cried out, "Doesn't this mean that she no longer has any weakness? Even the Dao of Reincarnation can't control her?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said with a smile, "That's why I tapped the heart of her brows when she was escaping and used the divine art of reincarnation to plant another Mistress Yuanmu in her body. When she was hit by it, her consciousness had already reincarnated thousands of times in my divine art. I had nurtured the new consciousness of Yuanmu to mature."

Celestial Venerable Yun looked straight at him and was a little frightened. After a moment, he said, "Brother Mu, do you know how terrifying you are now?"

Qin Mu was stunned. He thought about it carefully and nodded silently.

Celestial Venerable Yun let out a shaky breath and said, "I don't understand your divine art anymore. You might really be transforming into the seventh young master of Miluo Palace."

Qin Mu was silent for a moment, then broke into a smile. "When this universe can't contain me, I will go and bring disaster to the other universes. However, before that, I will sweep away all obstacles!"

In the main camp of the celestial heavens, a huge abyss appeared, and Celestial Empress rolled out of it. She suddenly felt a sweetness in her throat, and she hurriedly suppressed the blood that was rushing up her throat. She was shocked and furious. 'Hall Master Spirit Official is right! Celestial Emperor Hao can't last more than ten moves against him!'

Right at this moment, Mistress Yuanmu's laughter suddenly rang out in her mind. "Sister, you're injured. You should hand your body over to me!"

"Crap!"

Celestial Empress' vision turned black, and her consciousness sank into darkness.
