Chapter 1095 — Blood-Drenched, Battling a Fierce Foe
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
Shen Mu's eye corners twitched violently; his palms were slick with cold sweat.
He had witnessed the battle between Great Hong and the reincarnated body of the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, Gu Xiao, and the man was truly ferociously powerful.
Though Great Hong was no match for Gu Xiao, he was by no means to be taken lightly. Was he himself really a match for such a foe?
Even though Shen Mu had grasped Venerable Ling's method for breaking the Great Emperor's Supreme Divine-Sense Domain, he still had no confidence in his heart.
The gulf between them was simply too vast. Great Hong, his great sleeves fluttering, strode straight into the treasure palanquin, his gaze falling upon Shen Mu.
"Great Emperor, you actually dare to show yourself here.
Do you not know that your enemies fill the world?
Above, the Heavenly Lord watches over the Primordial Realm; in the middle, the Sun Star Lord monitors all the heavens; below, the Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign holds the Primordial Realm in her grip; and there is still the Divine King Gong Yun searching everywhere for your whereabouts. " Shen Mu let out a breath of turbid air and laughed. "You just exposed your divine-sense divine ability; you cannot hide it from them. If I were you, having missed with one strike, I would flee at once.
Yet you remain to settle scores with me—that is hardly wise. " Great Hong's face was expressionless. He said calmly, "I know all of what you say.
But a blood-deep vengeance must be avenged. You block my way, so I kill you. Killing you will not take much time; after I kill you, I leave at once. Neither the Heavenly Lord nor the Earth Mother will find me, much less the mere Sun Star Lord. " Shen Mu's pupils constricted sharply.
He sneered, "You think you can kill me in but a brief moment? It has been a hundred thousand years since we last met, has it not? I am not what I once was—I am a hundred times stronger than I was a hundred thousand years ago, and more! I have already reached the Throne Realm. Otherwise, how could a mere Great Dao incarnation of mine have blocked a single strike of yours?
" Great Hong's pupils narrowed.
He sneered in return, "The Throne Realm?
I think not.
" Shen Mu's expression did not change. "What do you make of my attainments in divine sense?
" Great Hong's face shifted slightly. Shen Mu said indifferently, "You will gain nothing here.
In consideration of your being an ancient Great Emperor, I will not make things difficult for you.
Leave!
" Great Hong suddenly burst into laughter. "And what of the Throne Realm? You likely do not know my divine ability!
Let me show you a true ancient ultimate art!
" Boom— His divine sense erupted, transforming in an instant into a Supreme Divine-Sense Domain! In the very instant the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain swelled outward, a great spear had already appeared in his hand.
At the same time, everything within the divine-sense domain came to a standstill, as though time and space had congealed.
The only one who could still move was Great Hong! Whether it was Yan'er or the Dragon Qilin, or those six Heavenly Dragons, every motion—even the flow of blood—halted in that moment. Within the domain, even the Celestial River stood still, no longer flowing.
In the very instant he unleashed the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain, Shen Mu finally set his heart at ease. He had lied that he was of the Throne Realm precisely to force Great Hong to use the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain!
If he did not force out the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain, Shen Mu could not withstand even a single move from Great Hong; he would surely be slain in one strike!
Yet so long as Great Hong unleashed the Supreme Divine-Sense Domain, he would gain a sliver of a chance at life! At the same moment Great Hong's Supreme Divine-Sense Domain erupted, the method of breaking it that Shen Mu had comprehended from Venerable Ling's manuscripts erupted as well!
