Chapter 1266 — The Rising Star Surpasses His Predecessors
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
His sinewy frame was fearsome, like the most ancient ore veins and hardest mountains and rivers of the Ancestral Court in the primordial age, forged into a body of iron fists and bronze bones. He drove out a fist, and the Great Dao rang in unison; power gathered at the center of his fist, and when the blow fell, the Dao's might erupted — the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable was struck until flesh and blood burst apart, staggering backward. Shen Mu at last saw why the Creators said Tai Di alone possessed the strongest fleshly body in all history; such strength could overturn heaven and earth — none could match it!
Yet he could also see that the Tai Di of the primordial age had surely not been so formidable.
The reason Tai Di had grown so strong was chiefly that he had lived until now in the guise of Heavenly Consort Qiang, absorbing the Dao arts and divine abilities of these million years. Most crucial of all, the Dao Ancestor had charted the Dao runes of every ancient god!
Tai Di's spirit consciousness, joined with the Dao runes of all the ancient gods, gave his fleshly combat power and his spirit-consciousness combat power alike a terrifying amplification!
"In other words, Heavenly Consort Qiang has already come into contact with Tai Di's flesh, and passed on to him the fruits of her cultivation over these years," Shen Mu thought. Heavenly Venerable Hao used the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable to confront Tai Di head-on, while his true body dared not clash with Tai Di directly, choosing instead to circle and strike Tai Di's flesh with divine abilities.
Yet to Tai Di, this was no more than scratching an itch through a boot. The Great Dao gathered madly around Tai Di, and in the space about his body it took on substance; those Great Daos of heaven and earth, within the various apertures of his body, transformed into one Dao ancient god after another, each with a body of true substance!
From Xuandu to Youdu, from the Eastern Pole to the Western Pole, from the Yuan Realm to Guixu, ancient gods stood within the hundred apertures of his body!
Even at the point between his brows, the Great Dao took the form of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor!
