Chapter 879 — Gazing at Mountains That Are Not Mountains, Turning Among the Peaks
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
As disciples of Great Black Heaven, Mo Santong, Xue Taidou, and the others had been fortunate enough to witness that battle; several of their junior brothers had not yet entered the Dao at the time, but because they observed that battle they entered the Dao in one stroke, achieving extraordinary things.
For two strong ones of imperial throne level to contend—such an opportunity could be encountered but not sought.
But what truly shocked them was that the youth Great Black Heaven had invited could actually employ any Great Dao divine ability whatsoever, and no matter how many heavens of great divine ability it was, he brought it forth with ease, marvellously to the extreme!
This was something that simply could not happen, yet it had appeared right before their eyes. For the same Great Dao—the Heavenly Dao, for instance—he could even employ forty-nine different Dao-entering divine abilities, without repetition!
Of the Earth Mother's Yuan Magnetism Great Dao, he could even employ fifty-eight Dao-entering divine abilities!
As for the three hundred and sixty cycles of heaven, the various Dao-entering divine abilities were even more dazzling to the eye! To Mo Santong and the others, the realm of entering the Dao was divided into different heavens; but to the ancient existences within the Heavenly Court, the so-called several heavens of Dao-entering were nothing more than numbers like Dao One, Dao Two, Dao Three.
—In the lower realms, the countless masses, the innumerable divine ability users, cultivated bitterly, meditated bitterly, sought bitterly in order to enter the Dao.
Yet these people of surpassing intelligence would never have imagined that the Dao Ancestor of the Dao Sect had actually restructured the Great Daos of nearly all the ancient gods under heaven through mathematics, turning them into knowledge, making entering the Dao unexpectedly simple.
And what shocked Mo Santong and the others even more was that Shen Mu actually blocked it all. No matter how many heavens of Dao-entering divine ability "Heaven Venerable" employed, Shen Mu blocked them all, and even counterattacked.
In the darkness light burst forth unceasingly, and the two men's figures flickered in and out of view in the dark; at one moment they clashed, at the next they might appear a hundred li away! One moment they fought at close quarters, body against body, perilously close; the next they might be a hundred li apart, unleashing great divine abilities from afar, the abilities colliding and exploding at the center, dazzling to the extreme.
Suddenly, the two figures appeared atop the head of a four-headed demon god standing in the darkness.
That demon god had four heads, the heads covered in thick black hair as stout as trees; the two men each stood on the tip of a strand of hair, bending the four-headed demon god's hair slightly. Shen Mu formed sword fingers with both hands; his sword core suddenly burst apart, transforming into countless flying swords that darted swiftly through the forest of that demon god's hair, killing upward from below toward "Heaven Venerable.
" "Heaven Venerable"'s whole body erupted with Yuan Magnetism divine light; above his head appeared a river of stars, constellations, and star mansions, the Yuan Magnetism divine light linking the stars together; with a whoosh it sucked up all the flying swords, and clink, clink, clink, nailed them to star after star. "Heaven Venerable" rubbed his palms together; the river of stars stood upright, rotated, and howled toward Shen Mu, in an instant transforming into a great star formation that submerged Shen Mu.
Strands of thick hair atop the four-headed demon god's head were torn out by the great formation, each hair root trailing demon blood as it flew up into the air. Suddenly, within the star formation a demonic sun rose, in an instant contaminating all the stars, robbing sun and moon of their light.
Shen Mu uncovered the willow leaf at his brow; a black sun rose behind his head, breaking through the star formation.
He shook his head, and two more heads grew out; three heads and nine eyes, standing upon the four-headed demon god's sole remaining strand of hair, his body spinning like a top.
Whoosh— The divine light of nine eyes sliced in all directions, cutting apart the stars flying in midair along with the demon god's thick hair!
"Heaven Venerable" leaped up, dodging the strike, his steps moving swiftly, landing on the eyelashes of the left eye of one of the demon god's heads. The next moment, Shen Mu appeared on the eyelashes of the demon god's right eye.
The four-headed demon god glared, his eyeballs gazing down at them; a huge bead of sweat emerged on his forehead, a bead the size of a small hill, sliding down the bridge of his nose and then hanging on the tip.
In the instant Shen Mu's and "Heaven Venerable"'s divine abilities erupted, the demon god finally could not help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Shen Mu and "Heaven Venerable" had already left his eyes, arriving on the shoulder of another towering demon god, fighting from that shoulder down to a massive earlobe.
That demon god's earlobes were very long; the two stood upon an earlobe, their bodies parallel to the ground, fighting at close quarters, body against body.
Shen Mu employed the great divine ability of the Martial Dao, while "Heaven Venerable" had true dragons coiling around his body, unleashing the Great Dao of the Azure Dragon, the Eastern Emperor, to the fullest. A great boom rang out; the long-eared demon god could not help but turn his head and pat his ear, but by then Shen Mu and "Heaven Venerable" had already left his earlobe, killing their way onto the rosy-light ribbons wrapped around the body of another female demon god.
The two raced like the wind along the rosy ribbon, a dozen li apart, their divine abilities ever-changing as they attacked each other madly.
The female demon god's eyeballs rolled about as she tried to see the battle on the ribbon behind her head, but could not; suddenly she saw the two men descend along her ribbon in a shift of form, sweeping past her chest, as if sweeping past two steamed-bun mountains. Shen Mu was distracted looking, and was sent flying by "Heaven Venerable," bones broken and tendons snapped.
The female demon god could not help but giggle, her two peaks quivering. "Heaven Venerable" could not help but look, and was struck on the forehead by a sudden blade, cleaving down between the two peaks.
The two figures vanished again; the next moment they appeared between two demon gods, each spitting blood, staring fixedly at the other. "With only the power of this body, I cannot take you down.
" "Heaven Venerable" showed a look of appreciation and smiled: "It seems only by using my own divine abilities and Dao arts can I take you down.
Great Black Heaven, this opponent of yours is truly remarkable. Trading the Dark Demon Kagya Sutra for my hand was no loss.
" In the distance, Great Black Heaven gave a cold snort.
Shen Mu stilled his breath and focused his spirit; within his body the Demon Dao divine treasury roared open—the Divine Dao treasury and the Demon Dao treasury, merging into one!
