Chapter 1232 — Making One Utterly Despair
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Or rather, his thought was a strange structure woven from such still lakes laid crisscross; from whatever dimension Shen Mu's attacks came, he could respond in time and produce the finest countermeasure.
More than that, his consciousness stood on high, surveying the whole field in utter calm and making the best adjustments, keeping himself from falling into defeat.
This battle with Shen Mu brought him yet another tremendous elevation! An elevation he had never known in his duels with Lin Xuan, with Wang Muran, with Zhankong Rulai and the rest.
Even Lan Yutian could not bring him to such a perfect state.
Xu Shenghua, the Young Master Xu of Upper Heaven, needed a fellow Daoist to spur him on.
Lin Xuan, Wang Muran, Zhe Huali were not such men; Lan Yutian was not such a man either. The only fellow Daoist who could spur him on was Shen Mu!
He strove to maintain his domain; his Great Divine-Power Dao Domain transformed endlessly—like drifting clouds, like the vast ocean, like a great desert.
The Dao is formless, and divine power is formless too. He broke Shen Mu's divine powers and destroyed Shen Mu's Divine Treasury; from whatever angle, he always faced Shen Mu's front, and none of it could dishearten him.
As Shen Mu's Divine Treasury Domain was ceaselessly broken by him, the pressure on him grew lighter and lighter, until at last he cut his way into the Ancestral Court, beneath the Divine Tree, and stood face to face with Shen Mu, and finally had the wherewithal to clash with him head-on. Shen Mu withdrew his hand and laughed.
"Xu Shenghua, you have come to my side at last.
" Xu Shenghua likewise stopped fighting and bowed.
"Thank you for your guidance.
Sect Master Shen, I am deeply sorry to have destroyed your Divine Treasury.
But you have already lost. Your Divine Treasury has been broken by me; fight on, and you will certainly be defeated.
You are the female. " "Not so.
" Shen Mu smiled faintly. "Turn around and look.
" Xu Shenghua turned and looked, and could not help but be dumbfounded. The Divine Treasury he had destroyed was now wholly restored, without the slightest blemish.
He distinctly remembered shattering Xuan Capital, piercing through You Capital, wrecking Yuan Capital, slaying one true star god after another, annihilating the starry sky—yet all of it was there.
Even the Heavenly Palaces he had smashed were all present, just as before, not damaged in the least! The reason he had been able to fight his way here was that he believed Shen Mu's Divine Treasury, once destroyed, could not be restored, so that Shen Mu's battle strength sank ever lower. And now it seemed that Shen Mu's battle strength had not weakened in the slightest; the semblance of weakening had been only to seize this chance to rouse his latent potential!
"The Immutable Divine Power?
" Xu Shenghua murmured.
Shen Mu nodded.
"I have comprehended it thoroughly, and I have comprehended something better still: I can break the Immutable Divine Power.
" Xu Shenghua's gaze went somewhat vacant. He murmured, "Just how far have you cultivated?
Just how strong is your full strength?
" "I have never tested it, so I do not know where my full strength stands against the gods of the traditional cultivation systems. " Shen Mu mused, "But it is utterly impossible for a strong one of the Lingxiao Realm to kill me.
If a strong one of the Emperor Throne Realm comes to kill me, I can guarantee that I will not die. " Xu Shenghua's gaze settled on his face, as though he would read truth or falsehood from his expression.
Shen Mu showed a sincere smile, which made Xu Shenghua feel that he badly deserved a beating.
Xu Shenghua exhaled a breath of turbid air, suppressed the urge to beat him, and said, "As things stand now, it seems I am the female.
" The smile on Shen Mu's face deepened.
