Chapter 1021: Chapter 106: You Came to Court Death (3 Updates)

"The one who destroyed the Nine Heavens was Mu Ancestor."

The High Priest’s body shuddered, remaining silent for a long time.

Tianlu appeared out of nowhere, leaning on a scepter, walking towards the three step by step.

When he reached the High Priest’s side, the High Priest finally asked hoarsely, "Why?" Why did Mu Ancestor personally destroy it?

Tianlu’s eyes, which were impossible to decipher, gazed at the ruins of the Nine Heavens, at the floating stones hanging in the air. After a long while, he slowly said, "Mu Ancestor was unwilling for this place to be tainted by human greed, so he preferred to destroy it with his own hands."

"But... but this is the Nine Heavens! It’s the home of the Mu Clan! It’s the Holy Land of the Divine Clan!" The High Priest turned his head, looking at Tianlu with disbelief still in his eyes.

Tianlu raised his head, speaking lightly, "Mu Ancestor left behind one sentence."

"What is it?" The High Priest’s body shuddered.

"He said..." Tianlu’s gaze wandered over Mu Qingge for a moment and then returned to the floating stones in the sky. "The only person who can rebuild the Nine Heavens is the Young Master of the Mu Clan."

The High Priest widened his eyes, instinctively looking at Mu Qingge.

Because, in his heart, the Young Master of the Mu Clan is Mu Qingge; there could be no one else.

Mu Qingge stood in place, with no fluctuation in emotion, as if the matters they discussed had nothing to do with her.

Tianlu looked at her again, saying to her, "Tianyin is waiting for you above."

Mu Qingge slowly nodded, turning to look at the floating stones.

Boom—!

Suddenly, flames erupted from her body.

The flames enveloped her body, leaving only her head exposed. She stood within the fire, motionless, without any expression of pain.

"Abnormal Fire!" Tianlu’s eyes were tinted red by the firelight, uttering in surprise.

After his words fell, the flames on Mu Qingge disappeared.

A stunningly beautiful Flame Armor tightly fitted her body, enhancing her stately and awe-inspiring presence, as if she were a War God. The battle robe on her shoulder swayed with the wind, adorned with flame patterns, each wave resembling burning flames.

"Flame Armor condensed from Abnormal Fire!" Tianlu exclaimed again in astonishment.

His eyes, usually as inscrutable as a deep pool, finally showed a trace of shock.

Mu Qingge slowly tilted her head back, reflecting the varied, flickering floating stones in her clear eyes. Wearing the Flame Armor so early wasn’t because she was worried about fighting Mu Tianyin, but because the Flame Armor was a sacrifice obtained from Yuanyuan.

Moreover, the first attack endured by the Flame Armor came from Mu Tianyin!

Mu Qingge took a step forward.

"Wait." Suddenly, Tianlu’s voice stopped her.

Mu Qingge halted, turning her gaze to him.

Tianlu raised his hand, his wide sleeve naturally falling. His finger pointed to Yin Chen: "He cannot go; since it’s a fair duel, there can’t be any helpers."

The blood-red in Yin Chen’s eyes became shadowed; before Mu Qingge could say anything, he transformed into a silver light, flying into Mu Qingge’s forehead.

Mu Qingge slowly opened her eyes, looking at Tianlu with amusement, "Sorry, my Contracted Beast may not go to battle but will remain with me."

Her answer made Tianlu furrow his brow.

"Young Master." The High Priest got up from the ground, advising Mu Qingge: "Be cautious in everything."

Mu Qingge nodded, turned around, and with a flash of her figure, leaped from the ground, heading towards the shattered stones. She was about to embrace her destined battle!

She had waited for this battle for too long!

She had also suppressed her hatred for too long!

Thinking of this, she even felt like thanking Tianlu. His proposal led her to confront Mu Tianyin directly. Although it deprived her of much satisfaction in tormenting him, she would still, before killing him, little by little crush everything he took pride in, underfoot!

Mu Qingge’s figure, like a blazing sun, disappeared from the view of the High Priest and Tianlu.

The two stood on the ground, silently watching the shattered floating stones, this sacred place, the Nine Heavens!

...

Bam!

Mu Qingge landed on a floating stone, the impact raising dust and leaving deep footprints on the ground.

She paced around, observing the environment on the floating stone carefully.

These floating stones were larger than she imagined!

On the ground, she already thought these floating stones were huge. Only after standing on one did she realize that a single floating stone was roughly a third the size of Luodu.

Moreover, the stone she was on wasn’t even the largest one, which might be as big as half of Qin Country.

She raised her head, looking at the floating stone overhead, the largest one, hovering quietly in the air. Even clouds drifted between her and it.

It appeared static, but in reality, Mu Qingge knew it was moving at an extremely slow pace. The smaller the floating stone, the faster it moved; the larger, the slower.

Mu Qingge stood surrounded by a thousand floating stones of various sizes. She could hardly imagine how immense they’d be once united!

’Nine Heavens... What does the true Nine Heavens look like?’ immersed within, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but wonder.

The floating stone she stood upon bore remnants of broken walls, damaged buildings, and traces of varied landscapes that once existed. Presumably, this place was exceedingly beautiful in its prime.

But now, it only retained layers of dust and an interminable silence.

"Mu Qingge—!" Suddenly, a cold shout came from above.

Mu Qingge lifted her head, gazing towards the source. She saw someone standing at the edge of the largest floating stone, overlooking her.

Who?

Without guessing, she already knew.

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, without hesitation, her figure transformed into a fiery light, heading for the largest floating stone.

Her swift speed ignited sparks in the air during her flight.

When Mu Qingge landed opposite Mu Tianyin, flames already surrounded her. She slowly raised her eyes within the blaze, a cold chill clear in her transparent gaze.

This scene made Mu Tianyin pause, his gaze darkening.

Today, he was similarly clad in a golden battle armor, appearing fully outfitted. He looked at Mu Qingge, dragging his sword across the ground, invisible Sword Qi carved a deep mark on the floor.

Mu Qingge’s flames subsided, her expression impassive as she looked at Mu Tianyin, her right hand grasped, the Linglong Spear steady in her grip, its sharp tip aimed at the ground just the same.

"Mu Qingge, I have to admit, you are a formidable opponent. However, I must tell you, your biggest mistake was coming here. Because you’re here only to die." Mu Tianyin curved his lips in an indifferent sneer, looking at Mu Qingge.
