Chapter 1733 — Hunting the Divine Official

The Nether Heavenly Worthy's primordial spirit was a shade the stronger, and over the years he had striven to push his strength to its utmost limit, seeking to attain the Dao through his primordial spirit, and the power of that primordial spirit had grown more and more overbearing. The Void Heavenly Worthy, however, had the advantage of a mighty physical body; and having refined the body of Tubo and obtained the fragmentary Great Way of the Nether Capital, his dharma power had made great strides; and with more than ten years of guidance from the Hall Master of Lingguan, his progress was astonishingly swift!

The battle between the two was a dazzling spectacle. The Dao arts of the Nether Capital were famed for their strangeness and guile, and in their hands that strangeness and guile was displayed to the fullest. Suddenly the two of them fought their way into the heartland of Jingping, and in the distance they saw an enormous Six Paths Heavenly Wheel revolving around a towering figure — Shen Fengqing.

Little Tubo Shen Fengqing had his eyes tightly shut, the vertical eye at the center of his brow open, sustaining the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm so that it would not break. If the Nether Capital invaded, and he were not there to sustain the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm, then the devil-gods and monsters of the Nether Capital would not be surging into the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm — they would be climbing up into the world of the living and slaughtering their way into Jingping, and that would surely set off a bloody massacre!

His six arms spread wide, the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel revolving ceaselessly around him, his gaze shining upon each wheel in turn.

Upon the wheels, all manner of magnificent characters and runes flashed and shifted without cease, causing the Great Way of the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm to change. Strange strains of the Dao's music came from the heavenly wheels, and in the battlefield that surrounded the Land of No Sorrow, the souls of fallen gods and devils came flying without cease, drawn in by the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel.

Even the other heavens and myriad worlds were, faintly and indistinctly, touched by the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel. The Void Heavenly Worthy caught sight of Shen Fengqing and his heart turned cold; he swung the Styx Whip with all his might, and the Styx surged mightily, rushing straight for Shen Fengqing within the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel!

If Shen Fengqing could be gravely wounded, and his "where my body stands, there is the Nether Capital" broken, then the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm would shatter, and the devil-gods and monsters of the Nether Capital could drive straight into Jingping and turn it into a hell on earth!

"Don't you dare! " The Nether Heavenly Worthy threw himself across the path of the Styx Whip, and his physical body was smashed to pieces with a crack. It became countless Nether Heavenly Worthies riding paper boats, flying off in all directions, while his primordial spirit leaped up and blasted the Void Heavenly Worthy's primordial spirit out of his body with a single palm!

For a short while neither could get the better of the other.

Each steadied his position and watched the other warily. Suddenly, demonic qi came rolling in, and a devil-god with an ox's head and a man's body descended from the sky and landed with a thud in the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm, before Shen Fengqing.

That devil-god was shaped like Tubo, though somewhat different; yet it too had a vertical eye in the center of its brow. It glanced around, then fixed its gaze on Shen Fengqing within the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel and said, "Shen Fengqing, Fellow Daoist Shen, Lingguan pays his respects. .

.

" Bang! That ancient god shaped like Tubo suddenly burst apart, and in that instant the power of the Heavenly Dao surged and billowed, leaving the Nether Heavenly Worthy and the Void Heavenly Worthy shocked and uncertain. The ancient god shaped like Tubo had been immensely powerful, and first it had been struck down by some terrifying force, and then it had been scoured flat by the power of the Heavenly Dao!

The two hurried to look, and saw a stream of teleporting light carrying a figure racing into the distance, so fast that it left a deep black scar across the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm! Then the figure leaped, sprang out of the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm, and vanished!

The Void Heavenly Worthy and the Nether Heavenly Worthy each withdrew their gaze, appalled at heart, but this battle had to be decided, and they could not spare the attention.

At the very moment Shen Mu leaped out of the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm, the Lingguan ancient god avatar racing across the ice and snow toward the Kan Lands of the northern frontier turned ashen; it sensed the destruction of its own ancient god avatars in the Land of No Sorrow and at the Jade Cliff Pass of the South Sea, and its heart lurched. Its speed was too great, and the distance too vast; each ancient god avatar was an independent being, and only now did it sense the deaths of the others.

"One who has such speed, who can kill thirteen of my avatars in so short a time — there is only the Seventh Young Master! " At the same time, the Lingguan ancient god avatar that had been racing toward the Great Thunderclap Monastery, and had arrived at the foot of Thunderclap Mountain, also sensed the destruction of twelve avatars. The Tianyin Realm and the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm were independent worlds, and it could not sense those.

"The Seventh Young Master has made his move against me, and so fast! " And at that moment, two other Lingguan ancient gods had already caught sight of Tiangong and A Chou.

The two of them were looking up at the Ancestral God King, who was battling Langwan and the Moon Heavenly Worthy in the sky.

Tiangong and A Chou were poised to strike — they must be planning to ambush the Ancestral God King! The Lingguan ancient god avatars hurrying toward the Daoist sect of Jingping, the capital city, and Jingping Yuanmu, and other places, likewise turned ashen in unison; the destruction of avatars could not be hidden from their senses.

But Shen Mu's speed was too great, and their senses could not keep pace with him, producing that strange spectacle of no sooner said than done.

"The Seventh Young Master is hunting down my avatars at such a speed — his body and his dharma power may not be able to bear it! Yet even so, my avatars are hardly a match for him. " "He found me because I was too showy.

But if I conceal my tracks, then when he cannot find me he will run himself ragged, to and fro! " "Slaughtering me at that speed, he will soon be spitting blood with exhaustion, worn down to the bone!

" One Lingguan ancient god avatar after another reined in its aura and traveled in hiding.

At the foot of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, the Lingguan ancient god shook itself and transformed into a great monk, then unhurriedly started up Mount Sumeru. Mount Sumeru and the Great Thunderclap Monastery were where the Buddhas who entered the world dwelt, guarded by the Zhankong Tathagata; and above the Great Thunderclap Monastery were the twenty heavens of the Buddha Realm, and the twentieth heaven was where the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha dwelt.

At the same moment, Tiangong and A Chou were preparing to ambush the Ancestral God King, while two other Lingguan ancient gods were preparing to ambush and kill those two!

Rumble!

Shen Mu leaped out from the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm and appeared before Tiangong and A Chou!

The two ancient gods' faces changed drastically; one went left, one went right, fleeing in different directions!
