Chapter 798 — Unceasing Dissection and Study
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The divine power that belonged to the Earth Mother Venerable God alone, pressing down all the heavens, pressing down all the worlds!
That was the geomagnetic primeval power, a force as solid and weighty as the great earth of the Yuan World!
Shen Mu likewise felt the wooden sword's weight turn terrifying, so that he nearly could not lift it; he at once drew back part of his primeval force, and only then felt somewhat easier.
Whoosh.
He raised the wooden sword level and moved it slowly; the sword travelled very slowly, yet its strength was beyond measure, and he thrust it forward.
Many of the women beside the girl raised their brows and made to strike; the girl lifted her hand with a smile and held up a single forefinger, and the women at her side dared not stir.
Shen Mu's thrust halted just as it reached the point between her brows; yet that immeasurably solid sound had not ceased, and the turmoil brought on by the geomagnetic primeval power left the whole hall reeling as in a storm.
Rumbling booms came unceasingly from behind the hall, and the many demigods and demon gods standing before the hall doors flew out one after another.
The crowd rose into the air and looked behind the hall, and saw that with Shen Mu's thrust, behind the Lingxiao Treasure Hall mountain after mountain reared up from the ground, rumbling without cease, terrifying beyond measure, as though the might of that one thrust had burst open behind the Lingxiao Hall!
In the vast Jade Capital City, countless halls burst apart; peak after towering, graceful peak burst up from underground at a horrifying speed, smashing this ancient relic of the Heavenly Court to splinters!
That one thrust destroyed a tenth of the Jade Capital City!
"It is the Venerable God's Kunyuan Sword!"
An ancient demigod blurted out, "It is this very sword that subdued all the heavens! Ancestral Dragon King, this is the sword, is it not?"
The Ancestral Dragon King, startled and irresolute, said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "It is this sword. The Earth Mother refined it from the Origin Wood, and it holds the Earth Mother's divine power. In the years when the Earth Mother walked the world, she had no need to descend in person; she need only send someone bearing this sword. Once the Kunyuan Sword came forth, all the heavens bowed in submission."
"And those who would not submit..."
A demon god from the heavens above the Yuan World said coldly, "Were all slain by this wooden sword!"
The scholar came out leading the donkey, looked at the mountain range that had appeared so suddenly and destroyed a tenth of the Jade Capital City, and knitted her brows slightly.
Yet at that moment Shen Mu, gripping the Venerable God's Kunyuan Sword, felt uneasy at heart; he had not noticed that at this one thrust even the god-temples of the Jade Capital City could not hold.
"Why is this sword's power so small? I did not use my full strength just now. Let me thrust once more and see!"
He lifted the wooden sword again and thrust once more.
In this thrust he drew on more primeval force; the wooden sword grew even more solid and heavy, so that he could scarcely raise it to thrust.
The space within the hall rumbled and shook, a fearsome din, and countless strands of geomagnetic godlight poured out of the sword; yet for all the tremendous clamour, the Venerable God's Kunyuan Sword still displayed little might or power, and the wooden sword did no great damage to the Lingxiao Hall.
"Can this sword of mine be a fake?"
Cold sweat broke out on Shen Mu's brow; whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, he thrust several times in succession.
Outside the hall, even the scholar and that donkey were dumbstruck, staring blankly at the Jade Capital City.
Boom, boom, wave upon wave of dreadful force rolled out, and behind the Jade Capital City mountain range after mountain range reared up, tossing countless palaces and halls high into the air, where they burst apart.
