Chapter 749 — You Tianzun Smiles Through Sorrow
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Yu Tianzun laughed heartily. "Brothers, if you are unworthy, then who is worthy? Your battle on the precious island of the Jade Pool—was it merely dazzling? It was world-shaking! To be honest, I have always thought my dao arts and divine powers not poor, and that in all the world the only ones who could surpass me were the ancient gods, the rest a crowd of mediocrities. But seeing you two, I learned the height of heaven and the depth of earth—I learned what true dao arts and divine powers are!
