Chapter 1342 — The Mystic Fruit and the Divine Tree
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
He looked up. The void he had pierced had not yet closed; through the seventeen-layer opening, Shen Mu came plunging down like a madman, spinning his body, countless fists flying, forming a colossal mass of fists that filled his sight like some most precise machine.
At this moment Shen Mu employed a martial divine ability: the martial soul and martial spirit of Old Farmer Zhuocha, one of the Four Celestial Masters of Kaihuang, were displayed to their fullest through his fists!
The Grand Emperor raised a hand and wiped the blood from his mouth, then changed his technique.
Dozens of battered heavenly palaces suddenly flew out behind him—all of his palaces had been shattered by the Four Heavenly Venerables, and his vital essence was steadily leaking away. Yet he seemed not to feel how grave his injuries were.
He roared aloud, and in that instant all of the palaces collapsed! His aura plummeted sharply! Shen Mu saw the advantage and was just about to activate Guixu Primordial Qi Genesis to seize his cultivation and power when, amid the collapsing palaces, a new palace slowly rose.
Shen Mu's heart leaped; sensing danger, he immediately stopped his dive, flew back, and soared up through the still-unclosed apertures of the void layer after layer. The Grand Emperor's palace was reforging at a terrifying speed, and its aura was all too familiar to Shen Mu—it was the Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness Heavenly Palace!
The Grand Emperor knew that little of his cultivation remained, and that if his magic power were scattered among the other palaces, it would certainly be unable to resist Shen Mu's devouring technique. He therefore destroyed the other palaces outright, gathered all their energy, and reforged the Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness Heavenly Palace!
Only this way could he concentrate his strength and kill Shen Mu in the shortest possible time.
The instant that palace took form, a phantom of his primordial spirit flickered and appeared upon the imperial throne in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall within the Great Luo Heaven.
Sitting upright with legs planted wide, it was the Grand Emperor's primordial spirit projection! An imperial might blasted into the heavens, piercing layer after layer of the void.
The Grand Emperor, seated upon the throne in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, ruled the world and commanded the heroes, carrying a sovereign's majestic presence. And having been the ruler of the primordial age for hundreds of millions of years, his imperial might was even greater than that of Celestial Emperor Taichu!
The corners of Shen Mu's eyes jumped.
This imperial might gave a feeling of being impossible to resist, and even his Dao heart was disturbed. Though the Grand Emperor was not at the complete Imperial Throne realm and had no complete primordial spirit, the pressure he brought to bear was still utterly terrifying!
Even as Shen Mu's body exploded backward, he activated the divine ability Ark of the Other Shore, crossing layer after layer of void at even greater speed.
With two thunderous booms, he charged into the twenty-ninth layer of the void. At the same time, another of his divine abilities erupted, letting him enter in a flash a state in which both self and world were forgotten.
His body flickered between substance and emptiness, impossible to attack, so that the Grand Emperor's aura could not lock onto him.
"Heavenly Venerable Mu. " The Grand Emperor raised his head and looked up through the void to Shen Mu, who had already reached the twenty-ninth layer.
His gaze pierced through layer after closed layer of the void.
There Shen Mu stood at the prow of the divine ark, his cloak spread open to both sides like wings, covering the ark.
The robe and cloak were not ordinary things; they were the garments of Cloud-Silk Emperor Wei Suifeng, another imperial robe.
