The Woodcutter Sage rose. "The method to become a Youthful True God—comprehend it yourself. That will be better than what I could teach. What I teach is, after all, my own. What you comprehend is what suits you best. I have led you through the door; the rest of the path, walk it yourself—walk it and keep walking."
He looked up toward the distance. To the south, west, and north of Li City, demonic qi still surged like great pots inverted over heaven and earth. "My coming to Taihuang Heaven this time was only to stop the demon race from blood-sacrificing Taihuang Heaven. Fu Ri Luo is a cunning general among the demons. He withdrew this time because he lacked sufficient strength to deal with my sudden arrival. The next time he comes, it will be a blow that shatters heaven and earth!"
Shen Mu's heart leaped. He hurriedly asked, "Can Taihuang Heaven hold them off?"
Boom—
The earth trembled. Shen Mu quickly looked toward the sound. There in the distant battlefield, many divine ability practitioners of Taihuang Heaven were piling the dead demons and humans together, heaping them into mountains of corpses.
Suddenly the earth split open, and a massive altar rose slowly from underground. The radiance of flesh-and-blood sacrifice flickered, and a red beam of light shot into the sky. Within the red light, a tall stone statue appeared upon the altar.
Boom, boom—wave after wave of violent trembling came. The battlefield shook without cease. One altar after another emerged, and from afar they looked like one "gold" character after another, only with their tops sheared off.
And atop these tower-like altars, beam after beam of red light shot into the sky, and statue after statue appeared upon the altars!
Shen Mu's heart surged with emotion. He looked up at the Woodcutter Sage, awaiting his answer.
"We cannot hold."
The Woodcutter Sage poured a basin of cold water over him. "We can only delay them for a time."
