Chapter 1085 — Three Tianzuns Rob the Treasure Hall by Night
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
In the same breath, the white banner in Hao Tianzun's hand gave a flick — Shen Mu's body swayed slightly — and the banner was utterly useless. Hao Tianzun's primordial qi erupted, and a celestial palace boomed into existence, forcibly bursting through Shen Mu's divine power.
Shen Mu silently lamented the missed opportunity.
The Hao Tianzun of this moment was far inferior to him in divine power, but far surpassed him in the depth of his cultivation, and his physical body was extremely powerful — it seemed he was nearly of age.
The two went, one east, one west, no longer crossing blows, but burying their heads in the search for treasures. Time was too tight; Hao Tianzun sensed that taking Shen Mu would not be easy, and Shen Mu likewise felt he could not take the Hao Tianzun of today, so they simply stopped entangling.
Darker and darker grew the Zhaoyang Hall, until only scattered strands of light remained.
And at that moment, Shen Mu's eyes abruptly lit up, and he was almost moved to tears of joy.
He saw broken fragments of Primal Stones! Primal Stones!
The treasure of the Tai Emperor — who would have thought the Heavenly Emperor had gathered them away here!
Shen Mu at once flew at full speed, his form turning into a beam of divine light; in the same breath, he saw two other beams of divine light racing toward this very spot — Hao Tianzun and Yun Tianzun! But then he realized the targets of Yun Tianzun and Hao Tianzun were different from his own.
Following the direction of the two men's gazes, his heart quaked slightly — Yun Tianzun's target was an altar of no great size, while Hao Tianzun's target was a great seal!
"The Tai Emperor's Seal, and the Tai Emperor's Altar!
" Shen Mu's divine sense flew out and lashed toward the Primal Stones.
The moment he rolled up the Primal Stones, his divine sense split in two and lashed separately toward the Tai Emperor's Seal and the Tai Emperor's Altar.
At the same instant, the divine powers of Yun Tianzun and Hao Tianzun came at him almost simultaneously.
Shen Mu's scalp went numb. Without a second thought, he drew out the round egg of the suspected ancient god and held it before him as a shield; the two divine powers erupted and blasted Shen Mu, egg and all, flying.
It was then that Yun Tianzun caught sight of Shen Mu's face, and his mind suddenly reeled: "Luo Xiao!
Were you not already dead? " His heart shook; in a moment of inattention, a single move from Hao Tianzun sent him flying.
Hao Tianzun laughed aloud, reached out, and seized the Tai Emperor's Seal.
With the seal in hand, he at once charged at the Tai Emperor's Altar. Yun Tianzun gave chase — one step behind in time, but swifter in speed — and the two men's hands seized the Tai Emperor's Altar at almost the same moment.
All at once, the Tai Emperor's Altar vanished!
Both men's hearts jolted; then Hao Tianzun cried out in alarm — the Tai Emperor's Seal held fast in his hand had also vanished without a trace! "Is it haunted?
" The same thought rose in both minds at once.
And at that very moment, a dreadful tremor came from outside the Zhaoyang Hall — the Heavenly Emperor had moved against Achou. Yun Tianzun and Hao Tianzun made their decision on the instant, turned on their heels, and burst out toward the exit.
If they did not leave now, it would be too late — Achou, the reincarnated body of Tubo, could never be a match for the Heavenly Emperor; he would surely be subdued in one move.
When that happened, if they were bottled up inside the Zhaoyang Hall, they would die with no place even to be buried.
Both men cherished great ambitions; neither could allow himself to fall in this place.
In the flash of an instant as the two rushed for the door, Shen Mu also steadied himself and flew at top speed toward the spot where the Tai Emperor's Seal and Altar had vanished — in his hands he held a Tai Emperor's Seal and a Tai Emperor's Altar.
