Chapter 961 — The Brand of the Lord of Blazing Flame
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
He drew his sword and lightly scored the wall.
A sword mark appeared on the surface, but it quickly vanished, and the wall returned to its even, mirror-smooth state.
Luo Wushuang's heart skipped.
His expression turned grave. "This wall reminds me of a certain Heavenly Venerable. Rumor has it she created the divine ability of Immutable Matter.
" "This is not the divine ability of Immutable Matter—it is creation through divine consciousness, which is to say, visualization. " Shen Mu said, "This city is shrouded within the divine consciousness of the Creators, rendering its structures indestructible. Even if shattered, they will reassemble.
And then there are the arrow towers. The combat style of the Creators is exceedingly wild—they rarely have use for such things as arrow towers.
Moreover, the reason the houses and palaces here are so tall seems more to do with facilitating observation of the distant horizon, to watch for approaching enemies.
" A look of puzzlement crossed his face. This was the world the Creators had made—would they create powerful enemies for themselves? Then where did those enemies come from? Were they the invaders from the Heavenly Court, people like themselves? Or did some terrifying monsters truly exist within the Void? He could not help but recall the visions he had seen within the divine consciousness of the Corpse Walker.
His heart stirred. "Could it be that Creator who caused the perilous state of the Void?
" Luo Wushuang drew the Essence of Primeval Wood from between his brows.
His spirit emerged from his body and flew up into the air, peering toward the city and making a circuit of inspection.
"There is no one in the city.
. .
Fire Heavenly Venerable! " He hastily withdrew his spirit, his face alight with both shock and joy, and reinserted the Essence of Primeval Wood between his brows.
Speaking rapidly, he said, "I saw Fire Heavenly Venerable!
" "Fire Heavenly Venerable! " The two exchanged a glance, then immediately leaped into the air and descended slowly into the city.
Luo Wushuang hurried forward.
Ahead, divine fire blazed, melting the very void.
A figure stood within the flames, space distorting around him, his form hazy and indistinct. Yet from the wheel of flame behind his head, it was clear—this was the Heavenly Court's Fire Heavenly Venerable!
Luo Wushuang came to stand behind Fire Heavenly Venerable, dropped to one knee, and raised both hands clasped in salute above his head: "Luo Wushuang of the Lingxiu Army pays respects to Fire Heavenly Venerable!
Fire Heavenly Venerable, Mu Heavenly Venerable has led us here to provide support! " Shen Mu came to his side and walked forward without ceremony: "Luo Divine Blade, he is not Fire Heavenly Venerable—he is the Void Brand of Fire Heavenly Venerable. " Luo Wushuang was taken aback.
He rose to his feet and followed Shen Mu around to the front of Fire Heavenly Venerable's figure, studying it closely. He could still make out the runes of the Great Dao composing this phantom—though they were exceedingly minute.
This Fire Heavenly Venerable was indeed his Dao brand! Fire Heavenly Venerable was simply too powerful. In his battle here, his terrifying cultivation and Great Dao had branded his image into the void of this city, indelible!
Fire Heavenly Venerable must have encountered an unprecedented formidable enemy here, to the point that he was forced to unleash his techniques and divine abilities to their absolute limit.
His Dao runes were too strong, branded into the void, forming his silhouette. Even after he departed, the phantom had not faded. Shen Mu followed Fire Heavenly Venerable's gaze forward, pondered for a moment, then walked to stand opposite Fire Heavenly Venerable.
