Chapter 970 — Three Battles at the Heavenly Origin
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Shu Jun's divine consciousness surged, swiftly transmitting into Shen Mu's mind an art of marshaling divine consciousness into formations. "What I cultivate is the Three Enclosures Superior Consciousness. Even in the Primordial Era it ranked among the supreme arts of divine consciousness — but the strongest thing of the Primordial Era was the Great Emperor's Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness! Whether the Heavenly Origin Three Battles can hold off his invasion of divine consciousness, I dare not swear. You will have to modify it; best if you can fuse in your own knowledge. You are well versed in modifying my arts."
Shen Mu swiftly sorted through the art of the Heavenly Origin Three Battles that had been transmitted to him, and with the depth of his own knowledge revised and perfected it, fusing in the Undying Divine Consciousness of the Three Primal Gods, and adding the ancient-god Great Dao runes of the Heavenly Court's Daoist sect.
While he perfected the Heavenly Origin Three Battles, the star ring upon the cliff turned another hundred and seventy circuits — half a year gone by!
Cold sweat broke out on Shen Mu's brow. He steadied himself, then drove the improved Heavenly Origin Three Battles, forming three Heavenly Origin Seals within his third eye. The first took the form of the Duke of Heaven, white-browed and white-bearded, hands clasped together like a funnel; the second took the form of the Earl of Earth, ox-headed and human-bodied, likewise forming a funnel-shaped seal.
The third Heavenly Origin Seal took the form of the Heavenly Emperor, also a funnel-shaped seal.
The three seals formed. Shen Mu decided on the instant, driving the Three Enclosures Superior Consciousness, his divine consciousness pouring into the altar Heavenly Venerable Cloud had left behind.
Upon the altar, the Great Emperor's Seal blazed with light. Within the Great Emperor ahead, divine consciousness churned like raging flame; vast radiance like the many-colored wings of a phoenix streamed in countless strands toward the altar.
From the altar a pillar of light shot skyward, rushing at the Great Emperor's Seal.
Hummmm—
The Great Emperor's Seal shook violently. A ring of snow-white light, circular, surged out on every side; then came the second ray, the third...
Ring after ring of light spread out flat, and suppressed the Supreme Domain of Divine Consciousness.
Yue Tingge, Luo Wushuang, and the others hurriedly looked to the star ring on the cliff, and were overjoyed. "The star ring's rotation has returned to normal! Heavenly Venerable Mu, your method works! Heavenly Venerable Mu?"
Yue Tingge looked at Shen Mu, and saw him frozen where he stood, his three eyes wide open, utterly motionless, veins standing out on his brow, beads of sweat rolling down like rain.
Yue Tingge and Luo Wushuang were startled; both could see that something was gravely wrong with Shen Mu.
"Something is trying to invade his brow!"
Yue Tingge was, after all, a being at the perfected Emperor Throne. He saw the signs at once and said gravely, "One Hand, you and I must lend him our strength!"
Luo Wushuang snorted, none too pleased at being called One Hand.
The two of them drove their vital essence together, marshaling their cultivation, and sought to force their way into Shen Mu's brow.
The moment their magic power and divine consciousness rushed into Shen Mu's brow, they beheld a sight of incomparable grandeur: a majestic Great Emperor standing amid boundless space and time, who had slain the Duke of Heaven and shattered the stars with his blows, and was now charging at the ox-headed, human-bodied Earl of Earth!
In the next instant the Earl of Earth's head was severed, and the Great Emperor tore him in two!
Yue Tingge looked ahead, and there beheld the vast phantom form of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor — that was the third seal — and behind that third seal lay Shen Mu's Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury and his Spirit Fetus.
"This is bad!"
