Chapter 1552 — You All Still Have a Long Way to Go

Kill him, quick! " The whole divine treasury domain poured into Shen Mu's body like a whale swallowing the long rainbow, and in an instant the ancient gods beyond counting within the treasury seated themselves in the apertures of Shen Mu's fleshly body!

Heavenly Consort Qiang went pale; without another word she was the first to rouse her two divine-slaying dark blades and attack Shen Mu, crying harshly: "You fools, you must not let his body merge with his domain!

" The other Venerables and ancient gods felt their hearts skip; they saw the Primal Fetus Divine Treasury domain absorbed entirely by Shen Mu in a single breath, fused with his flesh, and the Ancestral Court vanished away, and even the heavenly court formed of the heavenly palaces floating about him disappeared into Shen Mu's brows!

The only thing he had not taken into his body was the World Tree!

Shen Mu's right hand drew from behind his back, and a point of cold light went to meet Heavenly Consort Qiang's two divine-slaying dark blades; her arms shook violently, and she could not control the two blades.

The twin blades, like dragons, flew from her hands!

The next moment, Shen Mu's sword light was before her eyes! Heavenly Consort Qiang retreated at speed; at the same time Venerable Huo roused his Dao fire and came charging in, and on the other side Shi Qiluo drove the two divine-artifact Venerables to meet Shen Mu's sword light! Old as the divine-artifact Venerables were, their bodies decaying, their strength was still nothing to scoff at: one wielded Venerable Hao's arts, the other Venerable Xiao's, and though Shi Qiluo's cultivation was such that they could not be brought to their full power, their fighting strength was still formidable!

Yet the next moment, Shen Mu's sword light pierced through the twenty-eight heavens of Venerable Huo's Dao fire and came before Venerable Huo's eyes.

Venerable Huo's face changed sharply; he flashed backward, and that sword light suddenly turned to purple qi, split into two, and went to meet the two divine-artifact Venerables!

In an instant purple blossoms danced through the sky, like a sea of flowers.

Guest Among the Purple Blossoms!

The two divine-artifact Venerables bellowed like thunder and charged through the purple blossoms, breaking the move apart with supreme divine strength — but blossom after purple blossom had pierced them, and the qi and blood within them swiftly ebbed. More and more purple blossoms came, stealing more and more of their vital essence, so that the two divine-artifact Venerables moved with ever greater difficulty!

Shi Qiluo, hidden behind the two, saw those purple blossoms beget two, and two beget four, without end, and his heart filled with dread.

Just then Divine Emperor Langxuan roused his dao fruit and came slashing in from the side; with one Taichu divine art he shattered countless purple blossoms into fragments, and numberless blossoms became innate qi!

Divine Emperor Langxuan gave a cold laugh and thrust both hands forward heavily — and at the same moment Shen Mu reversed his grip on the sword hilt and bowed forward!

Boom!

The two bodies shook violently.

Divine Emperor Langxuan clenched his teeth and roused every scrap of his mana; suddenly came two cracks, and the few teeth left in his mouth snapped from his biting.

Divine Emperor Langxuan gave a stifled grunt, feeling that the qi and blood in his body were not what they had been; Shen Mu's mana rolled over him, endless and unbroken, and he could only stumble back.

In the instant he fell back, Shi Qiluo came killing in, past the two divine-artifact Venerables, and with a wave of his hand a Great Abyss appeared, descending to cover Shen Mu!

That abyss was like a maw that swallowed heaven; with a gulp it swallowed Shen Mu whole!

"Sister!

" came Shi Qiluo's rough, aged voice.

Heavenly Consort Yan flew across, and the hairpin in her hand became a streak of sword light that stabbed fiercely into the abyss.

Her sword thrust out, and she and Shi Qiluo, one above and one below, soles joined, wrought their art upon the Guixu Abyss! The abyss suddenly gave a great shaking boom, and two lotuses bloomed outward from it; the ruined stamens within the lotuses swayed, and the two lotuses spun swiftly around the abyss, their stamens quivering, and numberless dao patterns became dao chains that drove one after another into the abyss!

Urged on by the two of them, that abyss devoured all, ground all to pieces; as the two lotuses spun, they seemed about to fuse with the abyss and become a single flower!

At the same time Venerable Gong flew in, raised her horn, and blew one long note — and the withered, ruined qi and blood of Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Yan blazed up again, and the two lotuses trembled lightly and merged into one! Heavenly Consort Yan and Shi Qiluo's flesh had grown old, their qi and blood not what they had been, but Venerable Gong's horn could make their shriveled qi and blood boil once more!

With Venerable Gong's aid, the two of them surged with vigor and brought their arts to their utmost!

Heavenly Consort Yan and Shi Qiluo showed joy — but in the very instant the two lotuses merged, of a sudden a sword light within the abyss cut the abyss apart, splitting it in two, and the lotus with it was about to be split in two as well!

A figure was about to fly out from the cloven lotus! Venerable Gong hurriedly roused her long whip and swept it out, entangling that figure; at the same time Ancestor God King finally put away his forty-eight supreme treasures of the Dao of Heaven, merged them into a long spear, and drove it into the chest of the figure held fast by Venerable Gong's whip!

Ancestor God King shook the great spear with all his strength, and the figure burst apart in four or five pieces!

"Fighting us Ten Venerables, you are far from enough," said Ancestor God King, putting up his spear and laughing, panting. His laugh had not died when a sword flew in, pierced his brow, skewered his body, and went shrieking away with him!

Venerable Gong's body spun about, her long whip flying up, but a great hand broke through the layers of whip shadows, seized her skull, and smashed her down into the earth!

Venerable Gong was pressed hard into the ground, only her two feet left outside.

The two divine-artifact Venerables flew in together and struck the figure's chest and back; Shi Qiluo raised his head in wild delight, and saw that the figure had no chest and no back at all — it had faces on all four sides!

"The Chiming Divine Body Unrivaled!

" Shen Mu's fleshly body heaved with muscle; with a bellow he lifted the two divine-artifact Venerables, slammed them down, then raised a palm; the Calamity Sword flew to him, a flash of sword light, and he struck off the heads of the two divine-artifact Venerables!

Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Yan cried out in unison; Shen Mu raised his left hand, palm front, palm back, fist seals, palm seals, hand blades, seal after seal shifting without cease, crashing onto the two of them one after another! Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Yan went tumbling, flying backward!

Shen Mu drew back his hand, stepped forward, swept his gaze around, and said indifferently: "In divine arts, you are simply no good at all!

" In the distance, Heavenly Consort Qiang sneaked quietly away, sprang swiftly onto the stump of a Dao Tree, plunged into the third long river of chaos, and rode the waves off, leaving only her back behind.
