" The Molten Lava Earth Lord said, "If the Heavenly Court obtains you, it is as good as obtaining the Great Dao of Youdu—and then even I will be in peril. Return to Youdu. You were born in Youdu; you are one of us. You do not belong to Jingping.
Youdu is your homeland, your native soil.
" "I want to go back to Jingping! " Shen Mu suddenly clenched his teeth and said loudly, "I am going to Jingping! " The Molten Lava Earth Lord frowned. "First return to Jingping and take away some of your kin and friends.
I will have the Youdu Venerable come to fetch you.
" Shen Mu said no more.
Shen Fengqing ran on without pause. Two days passed, and ahead the continent of the Origin Realm came into view.
Suddenly Shen Fengqing was slightly startled.
He raised his head to look at the sky and blurted out, "There are things in this world even more gigantic than me!
How long would it take to eat that one? " In the sky, a majestic Imperial Heaven Venerable had crushed down the world barrier of the Origin Realm and descended from beyond the heavens. Even at the very edge of the Origin Realm's continent, this divinity could be seen.
Behind his head, wheel upon wheel of light revolved, flames of radiance leaping, as he fell toward the direction of what had once been the Wasteland Ruins. Ring after ring of ripples burst outward from him in every direction, pushing at the heavens above and sweeping the clouds from the sky. A dreadful pressure swept across the vastness of the Origin Realm in an instant—tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of millions of miles—so that everyone could feel this terrible might, so that in every heart it was as though a god blazing with ten thousand rays of light pressed down upon them.
Even powerhouses who had shattered the god within their hearts could not help but feel a profound helplessness when they sensed such a being. At this moment, nearly everyone in the Origin Realm sensed it, and saw it too—the Heavenly Court's strongest weapon.
The weapon that overawed all the heavens had descended on this day. Descending together with that "Imperial Heaven Venerable" were countless tower ships and great vessels.
As the Imperial Heaven Venerable's body crushed down the barrier of the Origin Realm, these tower ships and great vessels floated around that majestic form, descending along with him. Aboard the ships was the Heavenly Court's army of gods and demons. The "Imperial Heaven Venerable" had not come to deal with the remnants of Chiming, the Supreme Emperor, and Kaihuang. He had come to deal with the ruler of the Origin Realm—to slay the Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign.
To wipe out the remnants of Chiming, the Supreme Emperor, and Kaihuang was the task of the Heavenly Court's army of gods and demons that had descended with him. "I can't beat that.
" Shen Fengqing muttered, then set Long Qilin and Yan'er down from his shoulder and called out loudly, "Bad little brother, we're ashore! There's a big fellow out there, and I definitely can't beat him—you be careful!
" With that, his fleshly body rapidly shrank and soon returned to the form of Shen Mu.
"Mu Venerable, find your kin and friends as quickly as you can. The Youdu Venerable will come to take you to Youdu! " The Earth Lord's voice pierced into his ears. Shen Mu did not answer.
He took out the willow leaf and pressed it to his forehead, then smiled and said to Yan'er, "Sister Yan'er, my clothes are all disordered.
Won't you help me straighten them? " Yan'er was still stunned by that colossal "Imperial Heaven Venerable.
" At his words she hastily transformed into a plump little girl and, with some effort, straightened Shen Mu's clothes. "Young Master, the one who came down from the sky looks like Blue Fatty.
" Shen Mu nodded.
"It is a counterfeit, but its power is beyond all reason. " The Earth Lord's voice entered his mind. "Do not harbor the slightest hope.
If Jingping is destroyed, there can be no escape!
