The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
You are the legendary Overlord Body, unique through all ages, but this body of mine is the king among Overlord Bodies, one born only once in a million years.
" Shen Mu gave a light laugh, stepped back, his body vanishing into the darkness outside the palace; only two rows of dazzling white teeth could be seen floating in the dark. The white teeth floating in the air opened and closed, and Shen Mu's laughter came: "Brother, after you!
" "Brother?
You call me brother?
" "Heaven Venerable" could not help but laugh.
He stepped out into the darkness, smiling: "You do not know the height of heaven or the depth of earth. " In the darkness, light suddenly burst forth.
Shen Mu and this "Heaven Venerable" had already crossed blades; in an instant their divine abilities swept away the darkness around the Great Black Palace, revealing the enormous planet behind it.
The planet's surface was mottled and incomparably rough.
Around the Great Black Palace, towering god-demons stood like statues cast of boulders, erect in the darkness like grotesque, massive mountain ranges, unmoving, letting the two men's divine abilities strike against the surface of their skin.
The aftershocks of Shen Mu's and "Heaven Venerable"'s divine abilities stirred up gales of such violence that wherever they passed, the air ground together in lightning and thunder.
And when the gales blew past the bodies of these god-demons, they actually ignited roaring fires from the friction, burning upon their skin with the feel of a prairie blaze.
There were three hundred and sixteen of these god-demons in all, the masters of the three hundred and sixteen heavens of the north.
Their strength far surpassed other god-demons, immensely powerful, most of them existences of the Jade Capital realm; even at the center of the collision between Shen Mu's and "Heaven Venerable"'s divine abilities, they remained unharmed.
This battle concerned their fate and future, and they wished to witness its victory or defeat with their own eyes. From the Great Black Palace, Mo Santong, Xue Taidou, and other disciples of Great Black Heaven rushed out and looked into the darkness; their expressions could not help but change drastically.
In the darkness, "Heaven Venerable" brought forth all manner of Great Dao divine abilities as if plucking them from thin air; any ability he casually employed seemed like a great divine ability that had entered the Dao!
As if he were master of every divine ability and Dao art under heaven, and had comprehended each system of divine ability and Dao art to the level of entering the Dao!
Entering the Dao had its high and low grades; divine ability users and god-demons used the heavens to rank the levels of entering the Dao.
To comprehend one move of Dao-entering divine ability was the first heaven; to comprehend a second move of Dao-entering great divine ability was the second heaven. Different Great Daos had different levels of heavens.
For instance, the Dao of the Sword: the strongest record of the sword Dao was established by Kaihuang. It was said that Kaihuang's sword Dao reached thirty-three heavens, unsurpassed through all ages, and to this day no one had broken his record.
Therefore Kaihuang's Heavenly Court possessed thirty-three heavens, and the Heavenly Court was built upon the thirty-third heaven.
Another example was the Buddha Dao: the strongest record of the Buddha Dao was Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha, whose Buddha realm was twenty heavens; it was said that the twenty heavens of the Buddha realm were all transformations of his Great Dao. And the Demon Dao—Great Black Heaven's Demon Dao had also reached unfathomable depths; just how many heavens of Dao-entering he had attained, Great Black Heaven had never said.
