Chapter 746 — Rivaling the Gods
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
" He took out paper and brush and presented them before Huo Tianzun, his face full of expectation. Seeing such earnestness, Huo Tianzun could not refuse. As if possessed, he took up the brush and wrote his name on the paper, then cried: "I do not care where you come from — if you bewitch Ling Tianzun, I will not allow it! Making her study that blasted nonexistence of time, wasting her youth and her years! Yu Tianzun has created a realm that lets divine ability users live as long as the ancient gods — and you tell Ling Tianzun that her ridiculous Creation Art can do the same! Bewitch her again, and I will beat you to death!
" Shen Mu said, embarrassed: "The name 'Creation Art' was mine, but I never said the Creation Art could grant immortality. " Huo Tianzun's expression eased: "I did you wrong.
. . " Shen Mu went on: "But the Creation Art truly can grant long life and deathlessness without becoming a god — a lifespan as long as the gods'. On this point, sister Ling was in fact not mistaken.
" Ling Tianzun said delightedly: "The one who understands me best is you after all!
" Huo Tianzun's face darkened at once: "Give me back my signature. I will not give it to you now! " Shen Mu hastily put away brush, ink, and paper, and laughed: "I will not. I shall have use for it in the future. " Huo Tianzun was furious. He reached out a hand and struck, crying: "First I will beat this charlatan who bewitches men's hearts to death!
" Shen Mu's body shook, and he revealed three heads and six arms. A string of thudding blows rang out; with a tremendous crash Huo Tianzun smashed through a great hall, tumbling and rolling out of sight, leaving a trail of fire in his wake!
Kaihuang was startled and nearly cried out: "A Tianzun of the Spirit Bridge realm — how can he be so weak?
" Shen Mu was startled as well. He had not used his full strength just now, only eight or nine parts of it, but his attacks were so swift that Huo Tianzun was sent flying before his strength could be brought into play.
Still, for a Tianzun of the Spirit Bridge realm, was this not too weak?
Even compared with a Spirit Bridge realm divine ability user like Jing Ping, he was a notch inferior.
"This age is too ancient.
The arts of the Dao and divine abilities are still very crude.
" He thought to himself: "I cannot strike with my full power. If I struck with my full power, I would most likely beat some patriarch-level figure to death. .
.
" Kaihuang glared at him fiercely and lowered his voice: "If you dare strike again, I will not spare you! " Shen Mu smiled and gave a light hum: "I did not send Huo Tianzun flying on purpose. Besides, are your methods a match for mine?
" Behind them, Niu Sanduo's head swelled as big as a bushel: "So this is what men are — turning their faces over like the pages of a book!
" But Ling Tianzun was strangely elated.
Staring at Shen Mu's three heads and six arms, she clapped her hands and laughed: "This is the Creation Art, is it not?
Your Creation Art is even stronger than mine! Even without cultivating to the realm Yu Tianzun opened, you can be deathless and live as long as the gods!
"
