Chapter 1249 — Blood Stains That Lonely City
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
To this day Hu Mengdie had found no treasure finer than the Yuan Wood, and so she meant to make Wuwang City the divine weapon with which she would one day become an emperor and attain the Dao.
Now she stood at the center of Wuwang City, and its might burst forth; the runes and Dao patterns stamped upon the three hundred and sixty-five circuits of inner houses lit up, and countless runes shone upon her body. Hu Mengdie's mana surged, she blasted out a single seal, and Shen Mu exploded into fragments.
No sooner had Shen Mu shattered than the whole of Taixu Youdu began to break apart, and soon that heaven and earth dissolved entirely. Hu Mengdie looked about her in confusion, and saw that when Taixu Youdu shattered, the world that appeared was still Taixu Youdu; she knew then that she had been struck unawares, and that the Shen Mu she had met must have been one of the Shen Mus within the dream, not Shen Mu himself.
"I am still inside his dream! Wuwang City!
" She roused Wuwang City once more, another earthshaking roar rang out, and that dream too collapsed.
Again and again she roused Wuwang City, again and again she shattered the dream-worlds, until she was gasping for breath and had no strength left.
At last the final dream shattered, and Hu Mengdie's body swayed; she raised her head, and there stood Shen Mu before her. "You have finally come out.
The Black Emperor's disciple is truly no weakling," Shen Mu said.
A sword-light flew in and pierced through Hu Mengdie's brow.
