Chapter 1261 — Heavily Wounding a Formidable Foe
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Hao Tianzun plus the artifact Yutianzun — his power would be even more fearsome. As the first ruler of the ancient era, Tai Di most likely does not have the strength to deal with him. " "Do not try to provoke me with such talk; that trick does not work on me. " Shang Pingyin said leisurely, "My consciousness is lodged in the ultimate void, transformed into the Dalu Heaven of Divine Consciousness — undying, indestructible, the foremost man of the Great Dao.
Hao Tianzun is powerful, but not invincible.
I can intercept him.
Have the Primordial Stone ready.
" Shen Mu smiled. "Tai Di trusts me so?
" Shang Pingyin said coolly, "If you do not give it, I will parasitize everyone in Jingping. " Shen Mu shuddered. Shang Pingyin laughed heartily, and suddenly the soldiers throughout the city regained their senses and went on with their business.
Shang Pingyin too came to himself. He seemed to sense something amiss, looked around, somewhat puzzled, then noticed Shen Mu's arrival and was startled; he saluted and said, "When did Mu Tianzun arrive?
" Shen Mu said politely, "I have only just arrived.
Seeing the Heavenly Master lost in thought, I did not disturb you. " Shang Pingyin smiled. "Has the Tianzun come to probe my formation?
" Shen Mu could not help laughing. "The Heavenly Master's formation — I saw it six hundred thousand years ago; it is truly extraordinary.
If the Heavenly Master still wishes to compare skills, I shall invite Longshan Sanren to have a match with you. " Shang Pingyin's expression changed drastically; the hidden wound in his Dao heart flared up again, and he recalled that terrifying scene on the Heavenly River six hundred thousand years ago. Shen Mu patted his shoulder and left the Divine City, saying, "Six hundred thousand years have passed; you should have thought of a counter by now, no?
A pity — it is already out of date. " Shang Pingyin's face shifted between light and dark as he watched the departing figure.
Fierceness showed in his eyes; he wanted to strike and kill him, yet had to endure. Six hundred thousand years ago — Longshan Sanren, the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner, the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace — that battle had been the greatest defeat of his life, the shadow that had haunted him ever since!
He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly cried out, "Mu Tianzun, this time I will never be defeated again! " Shen Mu halted, turned around, and showed a radiant smile.
"Truly?
" "Truly!
" Shang Pingyin's robes flapped as though he would ride the wind away, his spirit piercing the rainbow. He said in a deep voice, "Even if Longshan Sanren returns, he will be no match for me! These six hundred thousand years have not been spent in vain! Tianzun, do not underestimate me!
" Shen Mu turned back and said gently, smiling, "I have met Longshan Sanren; I saw him and the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner. Since we are on somewhat friendly terms, I have seen his present attainments in the craft of formations. Since the First Heavenly Master has the will to overcome his foe, I shall reveal his formation to you in advance. " His vital essence burst forth, transforming into the twenty-eight heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner, with all manner of gods and men surrounding one strange treasure after another to arrange the formation; the twenty-eight heavens shifted and evolved without cease, the formation exquisite beyond measure, exhausting every possible transformation.
Shen Mu said kindly, "Let the Heavenly Master first consider how to break the formation, lest when Longshan Sanren arrives you be thrown into confusion with no answer. I take my leave. " With that, he turned and departed.
