The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
They were holding up lanterns and looking his way. Chuxiao opened his mouth, and in a daze he saw that in the halo behind the plump girl's head there was a tree, and beneath the tree sat a youth.
"Shepherd Venerable.
. .
" He could not help but lose himself.
Boom!
Cloud Venerable unleashed the Purple Empyrean Azure Void Art and struck him down; Chuxiao plunged into the Heavenly River, then burst out of the water, and all around him figures swayed and closed in, surrounding him on every side. In the distance, within the halo behind Yan'er's head, Shen Mu sat beneath the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree, gazing at this scene from afar, moved beyond measure.
The Heavenly River had broken apart; one mighty figure after another came and went like lightning, divine abilities of every hue blazing forth in splendor, a sight to make one gasp in admiration!
By the middle and late Longhan era, the power of dao arts and divine abilities had already grown considerable; the powerhouses who had entered the dao were by and large all gathered here, fighting together for the future of the demigods and the post-heaven living beings!
Shen Mu's blood seethed; he wanted to rise to his feet and join this battle, but his divine sense was scattered, and he could only watch as they drifted farther and farther away. Chuxiao fled, breaking through the encirclement, when suddenly another wave of divine sense surged and forced him back.
Shen Mu sensed that divine sense at once and hurriedly roused his remaining divine sense: "Yan'er, the Divine King Gong Yun is nearby! " Yan'er rejoiced and hastily looked all around; with difficulty Shen Mu raised his palm and took out the one and only Taichu divine stone, the very stone he had obtained in the Bloodrust Zone.
"Long Pi, use this divine stone!
" The Taichu divine stone flew out; Dragon Qilin hurriedly caught it and pressed it to the point between his brows, and Shen Mu's last remaining stone flew over, teaching him how to mobilize and borrow the divine stone to strengthen his own thoughts. Dragon Qilin had, after all, studied Shu Jun's Three Enclosures Higher Consciousness, and had also studied the Three Primes Indestructible Consciousness; he got the knack at once, and with the help of the Taichu divine stone he unleashed his divine sense.
He visualized the Three Enclosures Higher Consciousness, and above the Heavenly River there at once appeared the stars of the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, the Supreme Palace Enclosure, and the Heavenly Market Enclosure. Just then, a vast and mighty divine sense came surging in, transforming into a woman's voice: "Divine King Shu Jun?
" Shen Mu sat beneath the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree, panting for breath; he used his remaining divine sense to touch Gong Yun's divine sense, and smiled.
"Do you still remember the old friend who led you out of the Ancestral Court? " That divine sense flew like the wind into the halo behind Yan'er's head, coursed once around his body, and then in his mind became the phantom of the Divine King Gong Yun, who said, "It was the Great Emperor who caused your wounds.
Back then, the one who blocked Dahong outside the Xiaohan Heavenly Court was you, was it not? You gravely wounded him.
I arrived one step too late and found only his corpse.
" Shen Mu was startled.
"Dahong is dead? " "Who knows whether he died at the hand of the Lord of Heaven or at the hand of the Earth Mother; even his divine sense was ground away to nothing.
And yet, dead, he does not fall; his divine sense will be cast down from the Ultimate Void and he will be reborn. Only, Dahong's memories are surely gone. Whoever struck that blow was truly formidable. " The Divine King Gong Yun spoke swiftly: "You have done me a kindness, and I will repay it.
Only, Taichu is not yet dead; wait until I have helped them finish off Taichu, and then I will come find you!
