The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
Shen Mu's expression shifted slightly; at once he changed his technique, transforming into the Tribulation-Raising Sword, slaying the Ancient God of the Heavenly Spirit Star and forcibly breaking through the Ancient God of the Earthly Demon Star, so that the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Demons could not close their encirclement. Just then, many more stars appeared across the heavens; the Grand Array of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Demons transformed into the Grand Array of the Star Deities of the Celestial Circuit, and a net of heaven and earth came sweeping toward him!
Shen Mu swept out a Tribulation-Answering Sword in every direction; the Star Deities of the Celestial Circuit were struck! His swordsmanship was exceedingly powerful.
In terms of cultivation, he was absolutely the one of the most profound cultivation among those of the Jingping Transformation—no one could compare to him.
Even Dao Lord Lin Xuan, with his incomparably exquisite swordsmanship and unfathomably profound arts, could hardly contend with his magic power.
His magic power far, far surpassed Lin Xuan's! Yet in the very instant the Star Deities of the Celestial Circuit were destroyed, countless stars converged; with a thunderous boom, innumerable stars were compressed together, transforming into one Tribulation Star after another! The Tribulation Stars were incomparably dense, among the densest stars in the universe.
These anomalous stars spun at tremendous speed, often bursting forth terrifying rays like sword light; wherever they passed, all was annihilated!
Lin Xuan's sword light flickered; over a dozen Tribulation Stars whirled madly around Shen Mu, and one world-shaking sword light after another slashed down at him in unison! Shen Mu brandished his sword to block; a ceaseless din of clanging rang out, and those dozen or so Tribulation Stars were actually shattered by him outright!
Yet the next moment, Dao Lord Lin Xuan's sword tip moved; the shattered Tribulation Stars gathered together and suddenly transformed into a vast abyss that swallowed all, drawing Shen Mu in with a whoosh! That place was like the end of the universe, like a black hole, swallowing all and transforming all!
"The Grand Abyss of Guixu!
Even Guixu's Great Dao arts—your arts can replicate them?
" Shen Mu's voice came from within the abyss; the power of his sword domain erupted fully, and the Grand Abyss of Guixu formed by Dao Lord Lin Xuan's sword light actually collapsed and disintegrated. It seemed Shen Mu was about to break free.
Dao Lord Lin Xuan held his sword in his right hand, his left hand forming a sword formula; he slid his hand forward along the blade to the tip and said in a low voice, "Ten thousand daos return to one—the Innate Qi!
" With a whoosh—he thrust out a sword strike, just as Shen Mu broke free from the Grand Abyss of Guixu.
The sword light was incomparably swift, arriving before Shen Mu in an instant. Shen Mu had no time to brandish his sword; he held it in his right hand and put it behind his back, his left hand forming a sword formula raised before his brow, and said in a deep, resonant voice, "Divine Treasury, open—" Dao Lord Lin Xuan's strike was incredibly fast; with a ding, it pierced the tip of Shen Mu's left middle finger, and a drop of fresh blood flowed from his fingertip, sliding down along the blade.
At the same time, Shen Mu's Divine Treasury domain burst forth; ten thousand daos roared, surging outward, and an incomparably terrifying power exploded! Shen Mu's left and right sword formulas pressed against the tip of Dao Lord Lin Xuan's sword, and he pushed the formula forward.
