Bring him out, and I will confront him face to face. " Lord Suixing flapped his bird wings and cackled. "Tianzun Mu, do you really take yourself for a personage?
You struck Tianzun Hao.
Tianzun Hao is the son of the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor has long wished to be rid of you; this is merely him going with the current of the stream! " In the carriage, Luo Xiao gave a stifled groan, his heart pounding with fright, and all but bolted for the road.
"I thought when Tianzun Mu said he had many enemies, they were only petty ones, and that if he could not deal with them I could help him. I never imagined the Heavenly Emperor himself would be among his enemies! If I keep following him, I am a dead man! Never mind whether he can pass the trial of the Five Luminaries ancient gods — even if he passes, going to the Heavenly Court is walking to his death, and I will be buried with him! " Yet for now he hid in the carriage, not daring to show his face; if the Five Luminaries ancient gods saw his true body, he too would not escape death. Now he regretted it without end — regretted that he had taken Shen Mu's easy ride to save himself some effort.
Who would have thought the easy ride was no easy ride at all, but a pirate ship! Shen Mu laughed. "Five Luminaries, ever since the art of apotheosis spread abroad, the age of the ancient gods has been over. The duck knows first when the spring river warms — are you less than ducks?
Do you still remember Niu Ben, the Jinwu General? He gave you a most wretched beating. " The Five Luminaries Star Lords flew into a fury.
Lord Zhenxing, without another word, raised his mirror and shone it upon Shen Mu. Shen Mu stood unshaken as a mountain, and laughed. "You hold death in your grasp, but I have the art of Creation, and can evade death. Your Great Dao is of no use against me. " Lord Yinghuo carried a great jar on his back; he took it down, and the plague qi within came howling out, surging toward Shen Mu. Shen Mu was still unmoved.
He laughed. "My medical skill reaches to heaven — I can raise the dead with my medicine and clothe bare bones in flesh.
What can your paltry little arts do to me? " Lord Yinghuo's face changed greatly.
Lord Taibai beat a great drum; the drumbeats rolled like thunder, bringing down calamity, whittling away Shen Mu's fortune. Shen Mu was unmoved. He laughed. "You five are ancient gods after all.
Withdraw now, and I will still leave you some face. Otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless. " Lord Chenxing brandished his trident, and the Heavenly River heaved.
"No more idle talk with him! " he cried harshly.
"Children, at them! Seize this rebel!
" Whoosh — Behind the Five Luminaries Star Lords, countless offspring of the Five Luminaries rose howling, surging forward in frenzy!
Shen Mu frowned slightly.
His palm turned lightly, and the sword pill appeared in his hand. He flicked it with a finger; the sword pill split in two, the two into four, the four into eight, and in an instant the sky was filled with spinning sword pills!
Even as they spun, the sword pills shot out ray after ray of sword light; the light coiled and soared like dragons, as though a rain of swords had begun to fall, pouring down upon the host of the Five Luminaries Star Lords! The gods and demons leapt up in fury, shouting fiercely as they charged into the sword light — and the next moment, the shouting stopped.
Countless corpses dyed the Heavenly River red.
Before the carriage, the dull-witted dragon's voice broke the silence.
"See?
I told you they were weak and you wouldn't believe me! These Five Luminaries ancient gods must be fakes.
They don't look so strong to me! The six of us brothers together could take on one or two of them!
" "Maha!
" The five dragons all roared at him to shut up.
