Chapter 1275 — The Heart Demon Turns Out to Be an Old Acquaintance
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
The chief reason Shen Mu could recognize it as the Heart Demon Heavenly Emperor was that upon its face were written the two words "Heavenly Emperor"!
Clearly, the dead Creator had never gone to the Supreme Divine Sense Realm to see the true Heavenly Emperor, and so had imagined his likeness; the Heavenly Emperor was his heart demon, and when he entered this place, the heart demon became reality and struck him dead.
"Lord Kaihuang and Lord Langwan have sent masters too! " Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief; he had feared that he and Bai Yuqiong were no match for Lord Hao, but since Lord Kaihuang and Lord Langwan had both sent powerful cultivators, perhaps Lord Hao really could be buried here!
"Lord Mu, this place grows more perilous by the moment. You must exert every effort to suppress your heart demons!
" Bai Yuqiong said swiftly. "Have you learned the Great Brahma Heavenly King Buddha's Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception? Circulate that art, and the eerie divine senses of this place will be unable to make your heart demons real!
" Shen Mu shook his head.
"I never learned it. Nor do I need to, for my Dao heart is firm beyond measure and I have no heart demons at all.
Since childhood I was told that I am an Overlord Body, unmatched in all the world, and that confidence and faith has sustained me all along.
Beyond that, I have passed through too many great rights and wrongs, too many great rises and falls; my Dao heart is clear and bright, and there can be no heart demon left in me to make my heart quail. " Bai Yuqiong circulated the Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception and said, "I have heart demons.
My heart demon is the Yin Son of Heaven; he is the greatest demon in my heart. My Dao heart must screen out the heart demon, or this uncanny land will give birth to an unspeakably dreadful Yin Son of Heaven. " Shen Mu walked shoulder to shoulder with her and looked about him: numberless broken peaks shrouded in black qi, fiery meteors falling like rain, mountain after mountain spewing lava. And in the darkness, a great many heart demons and corpse walkers lurked or prowled.
The Heavenly Court's army had already come here; waves of divine art rippled endlessly from ahead — the Heavenly Court's powerful ones must have encountered a formidable foe! They hurried forward at speed, and Shen Mu felt the divine senses here piling ever higher, mingled with demonic qi and demonic nature, their threat to their Dao hearts growing ever stronger. Bai Yuqiong especially: even though she used the Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception to steady her Dao heart, she found it hard to keep those divine senses from seeping in.
For she could distinctly feel wave after wave of dreadful demonic nature invading, making her state of mind more and more unsteady! They drew closer and closer to the fighting ahead, and Bai Yuqiong found it harder and harder to hold on.
She looked at Shen Mu and saw that he remained utterly composed, and could not help praising him inwardly: "Lord Mu is indeed.
.
. " Scarcely had the thought formed when she suddenly saw a look of horror cross Shen Mu's face as he stared fixedly ahead.
Bai Yuqiong hurried to look, and saw that out of the void walked Shen Mu's heart demon. It was a little fat boy — a little fat boy exactly like the Lan Yutian who hid within the lantern!
Bai Yuqiong's expression froze.
"Did Lord Mu not say he was an Overlord Body with unmatched confidence? How could his heart demon be his little brother Lan Yutian?
" That heart demon Lan Yutian came walking toward Shen Mu, and in the instant he lifted his foot, the Essence Fetus Divine Treasury unfurled with a hum — the Star River, the Heavenly River, the Four Poles, the Yuan Capital, the Nether Capital, and the Returning Abyss appeared one after another within the Spirit Fetus!
Then the Ancestral Court surged forth, vast and mighty, a towering domain of rivers and mountains!
Bai Yuqiong saw the corner of Shen Mu's eye twitching wildly.
