Chapter 1343 — The Five Meridian Seal
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
His primordial qi, his Spiritual-Consciousness Great Luo Heaven Palace, his seven great divine treasuries—every one of them had become this uncanny state of having form but no substance!
Only his head, because it was his true original body, was not assimilated by Shen Mu's palm.
The Grand Emperor's fleshly body, after all, was a supreme body forged through his own thousand temperings and hundred refinings, and through the worship and refinement of countless Creators. Shen Mu's great divine ability, though exquisite beyond compare, could not in a moment refine away his head.
Though it could not refine away his head, the primordial qi within it was refined away, and his spiritual consciousness likewise grew unstable, thinner and ever thinner!
Suddenly Shen Mu's palm clenched hard into a fist, and the fist slammed into the hole in the Grand Emperor's brow. This punch was vast and mighty, the martial Dao indestructible; it beat his brain into a pulp and blasted his spiritual consciousness apart!
The Grand Emperor's head fell from the thirtieth void—with a thunderous boom it smashed through the twenty-ninth void, then through the twenty-eighth void, punching one great hole after another through layer upon layer of void.
The Grand Emperor's eyes were dim, his sight blurred, and he vaguely saw Shen Mu's body turning insubstantial, rising into the thirty-first layer of void.
"Mu Tianzun is dead after all. I have lived through it…" he thought.
Just then, he saw Shen Mu, risen into the thirty-first layer of void, take out from between his brows a large round egg.
Bewilderment came over the Grand Emperor's face.
Boom, boom, boom—
His head smashed through layer after layer of void, falling from the heavens into the earth of the Ancestral Court, then rolling several turns before coming to rest on a wilderness, sending the ancient giant beasts all around fleeing in every direction.
Scarcely had his head stopped rolling when a tremendous rumbling reached him from deep within the void. A streak of fire plummeted from the sky and crashed down hard beside him; countless shards of stone flew in all directions, and the Swelling Earth rose into the air, expanding as it went, becoming floating continents one after another that were swept off into the distance by a wild wind.
In the billowing smoke and dust, the Grand Emperor saw not far away Shen Mu's body, battered and broken, one knee touching the ground, his palm pressed to the earth.
"The Five Veins Great Seal!" Shen Mu suddenly raised his head, his three eyes blazing with light.
