They, the Human Emperors, had all attacked the First Ancestor together and suffered a crushing defeat; the First Ancestor had beaten and broken them all at the same realm. And now, at that same realm, Shen Mu was beating the First Ancestor down!
Only an Overlord Body could do such a thing, surely? "That Su Mozhe kid really does deserve a beating!
" Emperor Qikang sighed with feeling. The other Human Emperors all voiced their agreement.
"The First Ancestor still has a trump card he has not used.
" The Second Ancestor said suddenly, "I once saw him use it—three extremely terrifying seal arts. " The Fourth Ancestor hurriedly asked, "How terrifying?
" "Heaven collapses, earth splits: the Three Forms of Heaven's Collapse.
" The Second Ancestor Human Emperor looked toward the battle between Shen Mu and the First Ancestor.
The First Ancestor already bore many sword wounds; that Shen Mu could wound him to such a degree was already enough to be proud of. "The Three Forms of Heaven's Collapse are the divine ability by which he entered the Dao.
I once wanted to learn them, but those three seal arts conceal a fierce will to self-destruction; I could not master them.
I feared that once I learned them, the moment I used all three I would kill myself.
" The Second Ancestor Human Emperor let out a breath of turbid air and said in a low voice, "I hope he does not use them.
.
.
" Just then heaven and earth changed abruptly: the blue sky cracked, stars fell like rain, the sky burned a fiery red, the earth collapsed, volcanoes rose on every side, and earth, water, wind, and fire surged!
The First Ancestor Human Emperor could hold back no longer; he used the first of the Three Forms of Heaven's Collapse!
At the same moment, Shen Mu pointed a finger at the spot between his brows; from the third eye a beam of sword light shot out, ten li of sword light blazing like a pillar, gone in a flash. Before the First Ancestor's first form could unleash its might, the sword nailed him, carrying his figure ten li away, and with a ding pinned him to a great mountain.
"Ha—" Shen Mu roared in fury, his fists like wind; he swung both fists and hammered madly forward, striking countless punches in an instant! The terrifying force of the punches accumulated, transforming into world-destroying power that blasted toward the First Ancestor Human Emperor pinned atop the mountain!
"No!
" Emperor Qikang and the others leaped out one after another, crying out in alarm, trying to catch up with Shen Mu's fist force—but it was already too late. Boom.
That mountain was blasted into collapse by the terrifying force; yet all the fist wind fell only around the First Ancestor Human Emperor, never striking his body.
That great mountain was beaten into a stone pillar, and the First Ancestor still hung upon it. Shen Mu turned and walked out of the Imperial Hall, not glancing at the First Ancestor on the stone pillar. His face calm, he said, "You may insult the Human Emperors of every generation, but I am not you—I will not insult you.
" The First Ancestor Human Emperor touched the sword wound on his chest and suddenly called out loudly, "Do not go yet—I will teach you the Three Forms of Heaven's Collapse!
" Shen Mu walked to the front of the Imperial Hall, bent down, picked up his sword core and his Taotie Pouch, turned half around, laughed, and waved a hand: "I will not learn them.
I disdain to learn them.
" The First Ancestor Human Emperor was stunned; he struggled free from the stone pillar.
Shen Mu strode out through the doorway of the Imperial Hall; the doorway closed, and his figure vanished.
