The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
" The Alchemist's voice came, then again, "Heavenly Venerable Fire's dao wound is also erased! In a little longer the wounds left by Heavenly Venerable Xiao and Divine Emperor Langxuan will heal as well!
" Among Shen Mu's eighteen Celestial Palaces, the Creation God King within the Creation Celestial Palace at once acted, remaking Heavenly Venerable Yue's countenance.
Heavenly Venerable Yue's spirit rose greatly, she felt the dao wounds that bound her cultivation losing their power little by little, her cultivation and strength returning point by point to the peak!
And at that moment a footstep came from beyond the peach forest, drawing gradually near.
"The reason I have never struck is that I already command the whole game, holding the life and death of you three in my hand.
" From the darkness a figure passed through the tangled strings of light, as if without substance, those strings of space irresistible, yet cutting across his body without harming him in the least.
He was like a mass of qi, qi without flesh!
"I do not speak from arrogance, it is simply that the Yuanmu is in my hand.
" That figure drew nearer and nearer, his voice growing ever clearer, "Earth Mother Yuanjun is an incompetent, but her flesh is the supreme treasure born of the heaven and earth of the Ancestral Court, only she herself never knew how to use it.
The roots of this Yuanmu are sunk in Yuandu, its feelers spread through the depths of the earth, its branches and leaves uphold the heavens in the sky.
Thus even if your ten thousand li of peach forest joins all the heavens, to me it is of no use, easily broken.
" At the word 'break', the Heavenly Venerable Shenqi Yu gripping the Yuanmu suddenly roared and urged forth the might of the Yuanmu!
Heavenly Venerable Yue's face changed faintly, then she felt the ten thousand li of peach forest that joined all the heavens and myriad worlds crumbling and dissolving without cease, tract after tract of peach forest turning to powder, the peach forest she had toiled more than forty thousand years to build destroyed in a single day!
With the forest ruined, the roots of the Yuanmu like tentacle after tentacle snuffed out one lantern after another.
Back then when Heavenly Venerable Hao invaded the Yuan World, the newly revived Earth Mother Yuanjun went to bar him, and because Heavenly Venerable Xiao stood by, Heavenly Venerable Hao wished neither to be hurt nor to reveal his true strength, and so after grievously wounding Earth Mother Yuanjun he departed on his own.
But Earth Mother Yuanjun was slain by Heavenly Venerable Xiao, roots and Yuanmu together falling into his hands, and the Yuan World falling under his control.
Heavenly Venerable Xiao became the great winner, planting the Yuanmu, building Celestial Palaces, leaving behind Heavenly Venerable Shenqi Yu.
At that time even Shen Mu fell into his reckoning, summoning his soul for him, yet unable to stop the eruption of the Jingping Calamity, in the end forced to cast off his identity as the divine son of Youdu, to dig out his third eye, and become a man without a soul.
Heavenly Venerable Xiao was from first to last the great winner, save for that once when, transformed as Chuxiao, he was assassinated at his wedding by Heavenly Venerable Yun and Heavenly Venerable Hao and Heavenly Venerable Yue and the others.
Having done all this, Heavenly Venerable Shenqi Yu stood towering and still once more. And at that moment that figure walked to the front of Heavenly Venerable Shenqi Yu, beside that giant his body was not tall, Heavenly Venerable Shenqi Yu was a colossus, while he looked but of ordinary human height.
That figure was none other than Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
He was clear-browed and bright-eyed, neat and fresh, and his hands were whole, plainly he had indeed cultivated the Creation Profound Art as improved by Jingping, able to restore his flesh.
