Chapter 878 — The Shadowed Maga Codex

The youthful voice drew nearer in the darkness. "In the early years of Longhan, there were already rumors of the Overlord Body. This Overlord Body Shen is indeed extraordinary. Your disciples have received his instruction, and he will soon have your Maga Sutra figured out in every detail!"

Great Black Heaven smiled a half-smile. "Yet he thinks I am using my disciples to deal with him, never imagining that the one I truly mean to use against him is you. His scheming for my Maga Sutra is wasted effort—he has merely taught my disciples for me."

The youth stepped fully out of the darkness and watched Shen Mu's figure in the black pool with great interest, laughing. "That is why you, so cunning and sly, have lived from ancient times until now."

His face was illuminated. He resembled the Heaven Venerable Lan Yutian, merely a little thinner.

The "Heaven Venerable" laughed. "Let him play on, and your Maga Sutra will be completely exposed to him. If that happens, your Maga Sutra will be worthless."

Great Black Heaven summoned a man and whispered a few instructions. The man hastily departed.

"You have been searching everywhere for the Emperor Throne cultivation arts. Have you not long wished to obtain my Maga Sutra?"

Great Black Heaven smiled. "Now is the opportunity. Defeat him, and I will give you my Maga Sutra!"

The "Heaven Venerable" stared at Shen Mu in the black pool. There was no one else around Shen Mu now. In the black water, Shen Mu was actually driving the Dark Maga Sutra. Behind him, black wheels spun one after another, and the black wheels grew denser and denser until they transformed into a black great sun, somewhat resembling Great Black Heaven's own black great sun!

Even Great Black Heaven could not help but twitch, and he stared fixedly at Shen Mu in the pool.

At that moment, Shen Mu in the pool seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his head and looked toward them, meeting their gazes.

The "Heaven Venerable" was startled, and then he saw the black water in the pool swell up, gradually taking the form of Shen Mu before them!

"Shen Mu" stepped forward and walked out of the black pool. The black water on him receded like black oil and soon vanished.

"Great Black Heaven, has the helper you invited arrived?"

The black oil on him receded completely, and he revealed a smile as he looked at Great Black Heaven and the "Heaven Venerable."

The two stared fixedly at him, unable to tell whether this Shen Mu who had emerged from the black water was real or false.

Suddenly, Shen Mu's voice came from outside the hall, laughing. "Since you have arrived, then please."

The two were startled, and then they saw the "Shen Mu" before them smile eerily and suddenly collapse into a pool of black oil.

"The Overlord Body is uncanny and unfathomable. You must be careful!"

Great Black Heaven said in a low voice, "I have never seen a man so sinister! More evil than a demon god!"
