Chapter 879 — Gazing at Mountains That Are Not Mountains, Turning Among the Peaks

But the last time the Martial Dao Emperor, one of Kaihuang's Four Great Celestial Masters, came, Great Black Heaven had employed seventeen moves of Dao-entering great divine ability in all, and both he and the Martial Dao Emperor Zhuo Cha were gravely wounded.
As disciples of Great Black Heaven, Mo Santong, Xue Taidou, and the others had been fortunate enough to witness that battle; several of their junior brothers had not yet entered the Dao at the time, but because they observed that battle they entered the Dao in one stroke, achieving extraordinary things.
For two strong ones of imperial throne level to contend—such an opportunity could be encountered but not sought.
But what truly shocked them was that the youth Great Black Heaven had invited could actually employ any Great Dao divine ability whatsoever, and no matter how many heavens of great divine ability it was, he brought it forth with ease, marvellously to the extreme!
This was something that simply could not happen, yet it had appeared right before their eyes. For the same Great Dao—the Heavenly Dao, for instance—he could even employ forty-nine different Dao-entering divine abilities, without repetition!
Of the Earth Mother's Yuan Magnetism Great Dao, he could even employ fifty-eight Dao-entering divine abilities!
As for the three hundred and sixty cycles of heaven, the various Dao-entering divine abilities were even more dazzling to the eye! To Mo Santong and the others, the realm of entering the Dao was divided into different heavens; but to the ancient existences within the Heavenly Court, the so-called several heavens of Dao-entering were nothing more than numbers like Dao One, Dao Two, Dao Three.
—In the lower realms, the countless masses, the innumerable divine ability users, cultivated bitterly, meditated bitterly, sought bitterly in order to enter the Dao.
Yet these people of surpassing intelligence would never have imagined that the Dao Ancestor of the Dao Sect had actually restructured the Great Daos of nearly all the ancient gods under heaven through mathematics, turning them into knowledge, making entering the Dao unexpectedly simple.
And what shocked Mo Santong and the others even more was that Shen Mu actually blocked it all. No matter how many heavens of Dao-entering divine ability "Heaven Venerable" employed, Shen Mu blocked them all, and even counterattacked.
In the darkness light burst forth unceasingly, and the two men's figures flickered in and out of view in the dark; at one moment they clashed, at the next they might appear a hundred li away! One moment they fought at close quarters, body against body, perilously close; the next they might be a hundred li apart, unleashing great divine abilities from afar, the abilities colliding and exploding at the center, dazzling to the extreme.
Suddenly, the two figures appeared atop the head of a four-headed demon god standing in the darkness.
That demon god had four heads, the heads covered in thick black hair as stout as trees; the two men each stood on the tip of a strand of hair, bending the four-headed demon god's hair slightly. Shen Mu formed sword fingers with both hands; his sword core suddenly burst apart, transforming into countless flying swords that darted swiftly through the forest of that demon god's hair, killing upward from below toward "Heaven Venerable.
" "Heaven Venerable"'s whole body erupted with Yuan Magnetism divine light; above his head appeared a river of stars, constellations, and star mansions, the Yuan Magnetism divine light linking the stars together; with a whoosh it sucked up all the flying swords, and clink, clink, clink, nailed them to star after star. "Heaven Venerable" rubbed his palms together; the river of stars stood upright, rotated, and howled toward Shen Mu, in an instant transforming into a great star formation that submerged Shen Mu.
