The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
When spread open, it was extraordinarily gorgeous—from below, star rivers coiled about it, stars clustered like clouds. Shen Mu's ultimate divine ability, the Crimson Radiance Divine Body, had made his flesh incomparably strong, and he stood ten thousand zhang tall, a terrifying sight.
The Ark of the Other Shore beneath his feet looked quite small, barely able to hold his form. But the Grand Emperor was extremely far away, so looking up, he could only see Shen Mu standing on the ark, robe and cloak like a nebula, not much larger than usual.
The two were separated by eleven layers of the void and seemed to hang motionless.
"If one were to divide the ranks by the Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace realm, your current level should already be at the Lingxiao pinnacle. Remarkable, truly remarkable. " Before the Grand Emperor's voice faded, his form had arrived at the twenty-ninth layer.
The two were far apart, one above, one below, and in each other's eyes the other's figure had become vast and towering. "You did not follow the Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system, but relied on your own intelligence and talent to reach this point.

Creation rends the benighted!
The Dao of Divine Consciousness takes the lead! One mighty divine ability after another poured out as if he had no care for his life, meeting the ever-approaching Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness.
Within the Great Luo Heaven, the Grand Emperor's divine-consciousness flower had bloomed, its Dao fruit green and unripe. In that moment, Shen Mu saw clearly the tree within the Great Luo Heaven.
The World Tree. It was none other than the great black tree that now stood in his territory in the Ancestral Court—the complete great black tree, the one that had not yet been felled and burned by Taiyi.
