Chapter 505 — Thrashing the Grandmaster
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Shen Mu said hastily, "Master, I only said your arts and divine abilities are outdated. I said nothing else..."
"Ha!"
Human Emperor Qikang roared, leaped up, and sprang down from the bridge. Treading upon the river's surface, he raised his head and laughed. "Enough talk! Come down and let us measure ourselves against each other!"
His aura erupted. With seven great booms in succession, seven divine treasuries opened at once. His primordial spirit, incomparably mighty, stood upon the divine bridge. Star after star came whistling and gathering, becoming a vast river of stars that revolved around him. Beneath the divine bridge lay the darkness of Youdu; between heaven and earth were the sun and moon, the five elements and the five luminaries. Sun, moon, and the five luminaries joined into seven stars, and upon each stood a deity!
And below the seven stars lay the continent transformed from his spirit platform, the six directions already established!
Human Emperor Qikang's aura was incomparably overbearing. He raised a hand and sealed his divine bridge and its treasury; the divine bridge vanished. He sealed the Life-and-Death treasury; Youdu disappeared. He sealed the Heaven-Man treasury; his primordial spirit withdrew.
His aura diminished, yet his bearing remained wildly unrestrained. Standing upon the river, behind him appeared the vision of black volcanoes erupting one after another!
Human Emperor Qikang stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist, extended his index finger, and crooked it at Shen Mu. "Overlord Body Shen, come over here!"
Shen Mu's heart pounded wildly. Eager for the hunt, he could hardly suppress his excitement, and asked hesitantly, "Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor—in our Human Emperor line, there is no punishment of three cuts and six holes for striking one's masters and ancestors, is there?"
The Human Emperors all laughed. "We are not a demon cult like the Nether Demon Cult. How would we have such a punishment as three cuts and six holes? Go on, then!"
Shen Mu set his mind at ease, took a step, and landed on the river's surface. Solemnly he said, "Master, if I give offense..."
"If you are going to fight, then fight!"
Human Emperor Qikang roared, stepped forward, and threw a punch. The volcano vision behind him instantly turned savage; peak after peak erupted with a roar, flames blazing. In an instant the black volcanoes became magma surging into the sky. Fire and black smoke filled the heavens, and the river water boiled at once!
The force and intent of his fist actually shook the river water around him and Shen Mu into the air. The terrifying vibration broke the water into droplets, linked like threads, trembling gently as they flowed up toward the sky.
Human Emperor Qikang charged through the rising water, his fist growing larger and larger, more and more overbearing, his momentum ever more violent!
In Shen Mu's pupils, layer upon layer of formation patterns revolved; in his eyes a river of stars coiled around a great sun. He could even see with perfect clarity the process of each droplet striking Human Emperor Qikang's face, each bead bursting and splashing upon his skin.
The Blind Elder's Nine Heavens Gazing Eye Art!
Boom—
A violent shock came from the river's surface as Shen Mu's fist and Human Emperor Qikang's fist collided with a thunderous crash. Their robes suddenly streamed backward. The magma and flames that had shot straight up behind Human Emperor Qikang seemed suddenly to snap, bent by a hurricane, blown backward and stretched taut!
Human Emperor Qikang's expression changed drastically; his chest felt unbearably oppressed. "Such monstrous vital essence cultivation..."
The droplets flying through the air suddenly halted. Shen Mu's fist became an open palm, vital essence raging!
"Eight Thousand Swords!"
