" One ability-wielder came forward and triggered the Sword-Bearer Painting with his vital qi; and behold, Shen Mu in the painting drew his sword within the picture, and of a sudden sword light filled the heavens, stabbing out from the painting! That ability-wielder who had entered the Dao roared, and unleashed his own Dao-entering divine ability. Two great Dao-entering divine abilities collided; their might swept in all directions, raising wild waves of force, and only after a long while did all grow calm. Before the Great Black Palace, the gods hurried to look; they saw that ability-wielder standing there in awful majesty, motionless.
Suddenly he toppled backwards and died on the spot! The gods of the Northern Heavens shuddered and looked toward the Sword-Bearer Painting; in the painting Shen Mu's figure was still crisp and clear, lifelike and nimble, and his sword was still in its sheath.
Great Black Heaven said coldly, "Next! " Another who had entered the Dao came forward; this was a master who had entered the Dao through the blade.
He did not use vital qi to stir the Sword-Bearer Painting, but drew his saber outright and unleashed his own supreme art of entering the Dao through the blade, chopping toward the painting!
Blade light and sword shadow — a flash and gone; in the air there remained only thread-thin dark lines, the wounds left where space had been torn by sword art and saber art.
Only after a long while did those black threads vanish.
The Half-Saint who had entered the Dao through the blade twitched at the corner of his eye, lowered his head to look at his own waist — and blood came gurgling from his mouth.
A thin line of blood appeared at his waist, and his upper body was slowly parting from his lower. "You are quite good, to have not died under his sword; you may be well cultivated.
" Great Black Heaven said indifferently, "Next!
" A god hurried forward, gathered the man up, and staunched the blood; his two legs and his backside had fallen to the ground, and the god hurried to gather up the lower half as well and carry him off for healing. Yet another who had entered the Dao came forward to face Shen Mu's Sword-Bearer Painting.
His divine ability burst forth, its might terrifying! .
.
. Two more corpses lay upon the ground, and another was crippled; and yet of the six who had entered the Dao, one young demigod remained unharmed, having withstood the attack of the Sword-Bearer Painting and even ground that painting out by main force!
"What is your name?
" Great Black Heaven looked at this youth, and hope showed in his face.
The youth bowed and said, "Your disciple is an ability-wielder of the Flower-Brocade Heaven, surnamed Feng, named Huayu.
My ancestors were the Ancient God of a Hundred Flowers. " Great Black Heaven nodded: "Your bloodline is exceedingly high, your comprehension excellent, your quality outstanding.
That you could withstand his sword painting with a Dao-entering divine ability and grind the Sword-Bearer Painting to nothing is no small thing.
You have entered the Dao through divine ability, and your powers are already rare in the Yuan World; but to contend with the Jingping Overlord Body, there is still something lacking.
" Light flickered in Feng Huayu's eyes; he was somewhat unconvinced.
"Yet there is a way to make up for it. " Great Black Heaven turned and walked into the palace, saying, "Come with me. You destroyed the challenge missive of the Jingping Overlord Body, and he has sensed it; by now he will be setting out for this place.
It will take him three months to reach the Great Black Palace.
In these three months I will teach you the ultimate art of my Imperial Throne, the Dark Mojia Scripture.
