Chapter 911 — First Trial of the Calamity Blade
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Hua Qing's expression shifted slightly, then he said calmly, "That was merely a weapon controlled by a wisp of my master's consciousness; it could only display a ten-thousandth of my master's abilities. If my master descended to the mortal world and fought you at the same realm, killing you would be as easy as turning over his hand."
Shen Mu laughed heartily and shook his head. "He used the Heaven Venerable Yu's body and was beaten to death by me. If he descended in person and fought at the same realm, he would die even faster."
Hua Qing sneered. "I hear Heaven Venerable Mu has a domineering physique. I should like to test it. What realm is Heaven Venerable Mu at now?"
Shen Mu thought for a moment. "Roughly the Divine Treasury realm, I suppose."
Hua Qing was brimming with killing intent. "The Divine Treasury has seven realms. Which realm are you at? I will not bully you—I will fight you at the same realm and kill you, to vindicate my master's name!"
Shen Mu shook his head. "My Divine Treasury has only one realm—the Spirit Fetus realm. If you use the Spirit Fetus realm, I could blow you to death with a single breath; that would be bullying you too much. Realm no longer matters much to me. You may use whatever cultivation realm you like."
Hua Qing's eye twitched. The cultivation Shen Mu had displayed when he bowed Yue Wuji to death was not the Spirit Fetus realm. Yet as Heaven Venerable Mu, Shen Mu could not possibly lie about his cultivation realm.
He sealed his own South Heavenly Gate and said, "I will duel you with the cultivation of the Divine Bridge Divine Treasury. What say you?"
Shen Mu nodded. "If you cannot hold out, you may open the South Heavenly Gate and use whatever you wish."
"You dare to look down on me!"
Hua Qing roared and struck without hesitation. His divine power had just activated when suddenly a streak of sword light slashed toward him, swift as a thunderbolt!
As Shen Mu thrust this sword, Hua Qing was startled, feeling he could not withstand it and had no time to dodge. He immediately opened the South Heavenly Gate, and surging divine essence poured down from the heavens, his divine cultivation reaching its peak in an instant!
This sword of Shen Mu's was precisely the third chapter of the Calamity Sword—the Chapter of Meeting the Calamity.
The sword light pierced Hua Qing's body. One streak of sword light destroyed the Divine Bridge, shattering his Divine Bridge Divine Treasury, then drove straight down, pulverizing the Starry Sky, blowing away the Heaven-Man and the Five Luminaries, utterly annihilating his Six Realms Divine Treasury and his Life and Death Divine Treasury!
The next moment, the sword light razed Hua Qing's Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury and Life and Death Divine Treasury!
At this moment, Hua Qing's South Heavenly Gate opened—and divine essence poured down from the heavens. At the same time, the divine essence spacetime collapsed, and deprived of its foundation, the Heavenly Palace immediately grew unstable!
Shen Mu withdrew his sword, and the sword light transformed into a sword core spinning at his fingertips.
BOOM—
Hua Qing exploded, and terrifying waves of divine essence surged in all directions, blowing off the roof of the temple.
Shen Mu gently grasped the sword core, which transformed into an umbrella, blocking the falling rubble from above. He smiled. "Divine Sovereign, please introduce the next fellow Daoist."
Before the Divine Sovereign Wuji could speak, a divine being suddenly seized the chaos to strike, divine might erupting as he charged at Shen Mu to kill him.
At that very moment, the fat maidservant behind Shen Mu—who seemed to weigh three or five hundred catties—abruptly surged with an explosive aura, transforming into a dragon sparrow. It raised a claw and pinned that divine being beneath it.
