Chapter 642 — A Youth's Disdain
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
The First Ancestor Human Emperor tumbled and rolled, smashing down deep within that vast and boundless space, vanishing into the mist. Then light kindled in the mist—the light of his eyes.
In their last battle he had used his Holy Pupil to nail Shen Mu to the wall of the Imperial Hall, nearly cutting him in half at the waist!
Between Shen Mu's brows the third eye stayed shut, unopened; within his two eyes countless array patterns revolved, and two beams of gaze shot out, boring straight through the First Ancestor's gaze! The First Ancestor Human Emperor's two beams shone forth; the two men's pupil arts collided, and an incomparably dense light burst out, like two small suns illuminating tens of li around them, scattering the mist!
The First Ancestor's divine ability was still far more exquisite than Shen Mu's; the holy light of his Holy Pupil immediately suppressed Shen Mu's Nine Heavens Holy Pupil. The First Ancestor Human Emperor roared, his hair flying, both hands slowly rising; in the sky a chaotic star-cloud appeared, and countless enormous meteors were about to fall from the heavens!
The third eye between Shen Mu's brows opened.
He said in a low voice, "This is the second time I have used my full strength.
" Suddenly his divine-path divine treasury and his demonic-path divine treasury revolved at the same time; divine-path essence and demonic-path essence mingled and flowed, unified beneath his third eye!
His cultivation nearly doubled.
With a single hum, his two beams of gaze crushed the First Ancestor Human Emperor's pupil art outright; those two blazing lights nailed the First Ancestor, pressing him hard to the ground. The First Ancestor's divine ability collapsed and dissolved as well; the chaotic star-cloud in the sky vanished, and the meteors falling from heaven vanished one by one.
Shen Mu's gaze pinned him dead to the ground, pressing until his bones crackled.
Suddenly the essence around the First Ancestor Human Emperor divided into countless strands, the runes shifting, becoming a formation.
"Teleportation divine ability?
" Shen Mu's eyes contracted; the runes around his body leaped, swiftly calculating the First Ancestor's teleportation position.
The essence in his hand became threads of sword light, minute beyond measure; countless threads of sword light gathered and fell into his hand, becoming a precious sword.
Shen Mu raised the sword like the wind, and just in time blocked the seal art of the First Ancestor Human Emperor, who had suddenly appeared! The First Ancestor's figure appeared.
His seal art: one seal for heaven, one seal for earth; between heaven and earth, I am supreme. In the way of seal arts his attainment far surpassed even the Third Ancestor Human Emperor's Yin-Yang Heaven-Flipping Hand!
The Third Ancestor Human Emperor's Yin-Yang Heaven-Flipping Hand was in fact suspect of having borrowed from the First Ancestor; but the Third Ancestor walked the path of the two qi of yin and yang, the Great Nine Vehicles, nineteen steps across and back, three hundred sixty-one footwork patterns, three hundred sixty-one kinds of seal art. In the age of the Third Ancestor Human Emperor, within nineteen steps he was invincible under heaven.
The one who shattered the Third Ancestor's myth of invincibility was his own disciple, the Fourth Ancestor Human Emperor, who created the Ten Crossings of the Dharma Path and beat the old man badly.
The First Ancestor Human Emperor, however, was a notch above: heaven seal, earth seal, between heaven and earth I am supreme. The Third Ancestor could only command nineteen steps, but his seal art spanned the whole of heaven and earth!
Yet his seal art that spanned heaven and earth met Shen Mu's sword. Shen Mu did not use his sword core.
In this clash with the First Ancestor he used no primal weapon at all; he even threw the Taotie Pouch to the ground.
