Chapter 923 — The Primordial Creators
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
And this tiny Heavenly Lord formed from light fluid was now manifesting the fourth Heavenly Dao, the Heaven Seal! The tiny Heavenly Lord's twin seals flew at him with enormous power—truly, yin and yang embraced the uncarved and engendered one another, filling heaven and earth, leaving no room to dodge. The delicate Heavenly Lord's Heaven Seal was already before Shen Mu; as the twin seals smashed out, Yan'er shot out from Shen Mu's shoulder, wings fluttering, and thrust out an avian talon that clamped over the tiny Heavenly Lord's face.
The tiny Heavenly Lord roared again and again, hurling his Heaven Seal forward, but he could not reach her. His fury blazed higher and higher, and his roars were like thunder from the heavens. "Sister Yan'er, don't kill him!
" Shen Mu said hurriedly. "Seal him up.
I want to study him properly!
There's something strange about this Heavenly Lord spirit body! " Yan'er extended both wings and traced a circle in front of her.
The ring looped around the tiny Heavenly Lord. He roared and struggled but could not break free, and then all at once heavenly fire blazed up around him—he actually meant to melt the ring away with the Dao of Heavenly Fire. Shen Mu clicked his tongue in wonder, hoisted the tiny Heavenly Lord up, and looked him over from every side.
The tiny Heavenly Lord glared at him viciously, but locked fast by a grand expert of the Lingxiao realm like Yan'er, he could not move. "Young Master, what is this little Heavenly Lord?
" Yan'er asked curiously.
"Is he a Heavenly Lord's son? " "No.
He is a spirit body, one formed from light fluid.
" Shen Mu examined him closely and said, "No soul, no body—just a mass of pure energy. Inside him there is no Dao, no runes, no consciousness.
.
. Strange.
How can he wield the Heavenly Dao?
What exactly is he?
" He examined him even more carefully, but his doubts only multiplied.
No soul, no body, no thought, no awareness, no Dao, no runic brand—how could he be so powerful? This completely defied common sense! "A moment ago the light fluid was perfectly normal.
It was only when my primordial qi touched it that the fluid changed and became a tiny Heavenly Lord.
. .
The little fiend is too strong—he even broke my ribs.
" At the thought, Shen Mu's anger flared. He seized the tiny Heavenly Lord and gave him two hard slaps on his backside. The tiny Heavenly Lord flew into an even greater rage, but he could not break free and could only fume.
Then, with a bang, he burst apart, dissolving into a ball of light and scattering away. Shen Mu's hand closed on emptiness; only Yan'er's ring remained.
Shen Mu stood stunned, lost in thought.
He walked around the altar and saw that all the prehistoric giants' bones lay facing toward it, yet the altar itself bore no imprinted runes; it was simply built of ordinary stone.
He truly could not understand how these giants of the Age of Primal Chaos had produced a strange energy like the light fluid.
"Since Senior Brother left a map of this place, he must have found something! " Shen Mu roused his spirits and headed for the spot marked on the map. Long Qilin hurried after him, and Qi Jiuyi could only steel himself and follow, heavy with worry.
Shen Mu's abilities were enormously powerful, and yet he had nearly been killed by a tiny Heavenly Lord formed from a clump of light fluid—that made clear how dangerous this place was!
"The place Senior Brother marked is right here.
" Shen Mu rolled up the map and looked ahead. Where Wei Suifeng had marked the map stood a majestic hall; though it had fallen into ruin, it still looked imposing.
It was an open-air hall with no roof, its interior extremely vast. Shen Mu entered first and saw all manner of reliefs carved into walls made of polished rock.
He looked at them one by one.
