Chapter 676 — I See Through You
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
Killing you holds no interest for me. " "So it is true, then, that between an Overlord Body and a false Overlord Body there is an inexplicable entanglement of auras. Wait here a moment! " Leaving those words behind, Shen Mu rode off on the Dragon Qilin with a howl, a trail of fire streaking back toward Licheng, his speed so great it left onlookers dumbstruck. Wang Muran glanced at the Big Deer beside him and said in a low voice, "Can you run that fast?
" The Big Deer had been startled too. It shook its head. "No. But he has no stamina, and he's a glutton. Three days from now, when the fat dragon has eaten himself into a pig again, I'll run faster than him and farther than him. " Even as it spoke, the Dragon Qilin came howling back out of Licheng, bearing Shen Mu, and on its back was an old man with no limbs. Shen Mu pointed at Lou Qianzhong.
"Village Head, this is the false Overlord Body from Mingdu. You were right after all.
A false Overlord Body really has come looking for me. Just now he crossed blows with the false Overlord Body Xu Shenghua and nearly killed him. The divine ability he used resembles the Gate of Heaven's Mandate, but it differs somewhat, so he must be a false Overlord Body. " The limbless old man's gaze settled on Lou Qianzhong, and he said with perfect composure, "Would I deceive you?
But you must be careful. From now on there will be more and more false Overlord Bodies. False Overlord Bodies can sense one another's auras. They do not know that they are false Overlord Bodies, but they will follow the aura to find one another, kill the other, and seize his fortune to strengthen themselves. Had Xu Shenghua been killed by him, this Lou Qianzhong would have gained Xu Shenghua's fortune, his strength would have soared, and you would be in grave danger. " The old man spoke with great confidence, clearly not speaking at random.
"If you can kill him, you can likewise consolidate the fortune of your Overlord Body. " Shen Mu took out a small booklet and wrote these words down, then laughed. "Let false Overlord Bodies fight over fortune all they like.
No matter how much they win, they are not true Overlord Bodies, and none can compare to me. " With that he turned his mount and, in another streak of fire, returned to Licheng to deliver the old man back into the city. Lou Qianzhong and the others were utterly baffled.
He thought, "The divine ability with which I just defeated Xu Shenghua was plainly the Mingdu Mystic Gate. How could it be the Gate of Heaven's Mandate?
And how could mastering the Mingdu Mystic Gate become the basis for distinguishing Overlord Bodies from false ones? That is plainly a divine ability of my Mingdu! Besides, since when am I an Overlord Body?
And what is this about auras drawing one another? " Suddenly the Dragon Qilin came racing back with Shen Mu again. To go and return so swiftly, truly as fast as lightning. The crowd watched with deep envy.
"That exotic beast of his runs far too fast, surely? " Shen Mu was about to speak when a soul-seizing aura suddenly came from the sky.
The many demon-gods all raised their heads and saw a great star drifting across the heavens of Taihuang Heaven. The star could not be too far from the continent of Taihuang Heaven; it looked four or five times larger than the moon, and it moved with astonishing speed. Shen Mu's heart stirred.
"It is the strange star of the god-man Chixi!
It has broken from Luofu Heaven into Taihuang Heaven!
Which means the people who migrated from the Void Realm have all arrived! " The barrier between Luofu Heaven and Taihuang Heaven was exceedingly thin. The strange star had smashed straight through the world barrier, leaving behind it great shards of space like slabs of glass; refracted by sunlight, they glowed in a riot of colors, most bewitching.
