Chapter 834 — Seizing the Might of the Four Emperors
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
This was the most crucial moment. The smile faded from Shen Mu's face; he could not help but grow anxious, wavering between hope and fear. Suddenly, the voice of the King of Longbo came from the ghost ship's deck, shouting loudly: "Four Emperors, stop!
You may not know it, but there is more than just you on this ship! " The Four Emperors abruptly stopped attacking the black miasma outside the ship, and the Four Phases Tribulation Array could no longer siphon their power.
Shen Mu's heart skipped, and his expression darkened. "King of Longbo! " The Northern Emperor Xuanwu's voice came. "You rebelled and wreaked havoc, and were captured by General Wei.
I wonder who gave you such audacity. " Cold sweat broke out on Shen Mu's forehead.
He shouted sternly: "All warriors, hear my command—channel all the power of the Four Phases Tribulation Array to me! " The stolen power within the array surged toward him in a torrent.
The King of Longbo's voice came from outside: "There is someone beneath this ship's deck—the Right General of the Yulin Army!
He is directing the Yulin Army to steal your power; he wants to destroy you and trap you here!
They are dead men, they are ghosts, they cannot be observed!
" Shen Mu gritted his teeth and channeled all his cultivation to alter the runic structure of the twenty-six characters. Hearing the King of Longbo's words, Zhe Huali longed to rush out at once and hack the old dragon king to pieces.
At that moment, the firmament within the ghost ship's interior seemed to melt. Great hands descended from the sky, reaching down to seize Yulin Army warriors one by one and haul them upward!
The deck rattled and shook, planks clapping together to form black coffins that sealed the warriors inside.
Shen Mu shouted sternly: "Maintain the array—do not break ranks! " These warriors were immensely powerful; united against a foe, they could suppress even a master like the King of Longbo, and could stand their ground against the Four Emperors. But with Shen Mu as their commander, once the order was given, they abandoned resistance and kept the array running. Hands continued to descend, sealing more of the Yulin Army.
Fewer and fewer warriors remained around Shen Mu; with each loss, the others shifted their formation to keep the array running, without a word of complaint.
"Eldest Senior Brother trained these Yulin Army warriors too well. " Shen Mu finally finished adjusting the runic structure of the twenty-six characters.
They blazed with light, intense radiance pouring out from the ship's interior, so bright that even the Four Emperors on the deck could not see clearly and had to shield their eyes. "Warriors all, wait for me. " Shen Mu bowed deeply to the remaining warriors and said in a low voice: "The Four Emperors' seals cannot hold you.
Once you turn to illusion, you will break free. In the future, I will completely unravel Ling Tianzun's divine ability and free you from this state between life and death.
" "Swear it.
" The faces beneath the helmets turned to look at him. Shen Mu raised his palm. "I swear on my life. .
. " At that moment, more great hands descended, seizing the remaining warriors—along with Shen Mu and Zhe Huali—and hauling them upward. "Sister, do you remember Mu?
" Shen Mu raised his head and called out.
On the deck, the woman who had seized Shen Mu and Zhe Huali showed astonishment. She blurted out: "Mu Tianzun? " "Sister, I will explain everything later—release us now!
" The Southern Emperor Zhu Quer opened her hand.
The twenty-six characters exploded with a resonant hum, light sweeping in all directions, and the black mist outside the ship was wiped away in an instant! It seemed an instant had passed—or countless eons. The light before Shen Mu's eyes faded, and he found himself standing in darkness on the surface of the Yongjiang River, with the Village Chief and Huanlong Jun running up to him from behind. Shen Mu looked down into the water.
