Chapter 1091 — The Last Lesson Before Parting
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
"If Taidi were here and saw the consciousness runes Ling Tianzun has deconstructed, he would surely be moved to endless feeling, and would deem her a kindred spirit of the Dao. And the very next moment, he would strike her dead without mercy!"
Shen Mu studied the consciousness runes Ling Tianzun had sorted out, his gaze flickering. She was wholly absorbed in scholarship and cared nothing for the things of the world. Yu Tianzun had once said her aptitude and insight surpassed even his own; perhaps that was Yu Tianzun's modesty, but her aptitude and insight were unquestionably extraordinary!
The Taidi's consciousness runes had most likely been deconstructed at Yun Tianzun's request, so that the Taidi's weaknesses might be deduced from them.
"In other words, from these consciousness runes Yun Tianzun deduced the flaw in the Taidi's Daluo Supreme Consciousness, and laid a trap for him in the Taixu. The Taidi's Supreme Consciousness Domain has been broken! The moment he unleashes it will be the moment of his death!"
Looking at these drawings, Shen Mu suddenly understood why all three Heavenly Venerables had to be sent out together.
"They have gone to the Taixu, to make their move against the Taidi!"
His eyes blazed with light as he raised his head. In recent years Ling Tianzun had set aside her deeper study of the immutability of matter, and had instead driven the Way of Creation to its utmost; and on top of that, her study of the Taidi's consciousness had consumed a great deal of her time.
Yet on that basis, Yun Tianzun had also settled upon a means to deal with the Taidi and the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor!
"In the Taixu, a great battle has likely already broken out!"
Shen Mu's heart surged. But now there was no time for him to hurry over and witness this battle that would shape the ages to come!
In the land of Taixu, a heaven-shaking roar rang out. The Taidi's towering figure crushed the sky of the Taixu, crushed the stars that the Creators had brought into being through contemplation, shattered sun and moon, mountains and rivers, and brought down the worlds the Taixu Creators had made with their consciousness!
A dreadful backlash of consciousness surged in reverse, crashing into the brains of the Taixu Creators.
The once serene land of Taixu became in an instant a vast slaughterhouse. Under the crushing backlash, the Creators who had fled into the Taixu could not help but lift their heads to the sky and gape their mouths wide, as runaway consciousness poured into them, blasting apart their consciousness, blasting apart their brains, shattering their very thoughts!
There were two lands of Taixu in all. Upon the other, the maiden Divine King Langwo stared blankly at the scene.
Yun Tianzun stood at her side and said softly, "Langwo, you and your people do not understand scheming and intrigue. Today I will give you a lesson, and it will be the last."
His expression was complicated as he went on, "For the survival of a race, no means are too great a price!"
Divine King Langwo opened her mouth, then looked past Yun Tianzun to the chieftains and elders of the various Creator races behind him. Not one of them rose to intercept the Taidi, to stop the slaughter.
"For the continuation of a race, every sacrifice is worth it!"
In an indifferent tone, Yun Tianzun continued, "The first land of Taixu may be destroyed by the Taidi as he pleases, and its Creators slain by his hand. The consciousness that collapses within the Taixu will turn that land into a death zone. That consciousness backlashes against us, yes, but it backlashes against the Taidi as well. The stronger the cultivation, the stronger the backlash."
He forced a faint smile. "With the deaths of a million of your people, I buy the lives of the hundred thousand behind you."
The maiden Langwo looked imploringly at the chieftains and elders of the races. Behind those chieftains and elders stood a hundred thousand Creators.
"Save them, please..."
