Chapter 1362 — Exiling the Venerable
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
The first string flew out from behind his neck, then the second, the third, the fourth!
Ten strings in all sliced through Xiao Tianzun — through his throat, his brow, the base of his neck, his eyes, his chest, his waist, the gate of life, his hip, his knee, his ankle! Xiao Tianzun's skullcap flew off, and the rest of his body was scattered by the raging blood and qi, then forcibly knit back together.
Within the Heaven-Bearing Gate, Tubo's palm came smashing down, reducing his physical body to powder with a single blow, to a puddle of paste!
Yue Tianzun breathed a sigh of relief; Tubo, far off in Youdu, breathed a sigh of relief as well; and You Tianzun, who had come from Youdu to beneath the tree, saw it and likewise breathed a sigh of relief.
At that very moment, Xiao Tianzun's flesh and blood writhed and regenerated; he reached out, seized Yuanmu, and swung it aloft — and in that instant an unspeakably terrifying power erupted from Yuanmu, the heavens quaked, the myriad worlds roared!
The Yuan World holds more than ten thousand heaven-worlds, and the living beings within them, however dull-witted, sensed that this night (day) was out of the ordinary. The heavens they dwelt in were hurtling onward at tremendous speed; the stars were in chaos, the earth shook, volcanoes spewed, hurricanes howled, the seas heaved with furious tides, tsunamis came one upon another!
Yet they did not know that this was the appalling devastation wrought by a Heavenly Venerable driving Yuanmu with immense mana, moving the heavens by means of Yuanmu! Whoosh — one blow of Yuanmu swept You Tianzun away; in midair, he vomited blood without cease!
Having struck home, Xiao Tianzun thrust Yuanmu at Yue Tianzun like a sword. Yue Tianzun retreated swiftly, her form leaping through one space after another; in an instant she passed through layer upon layer of heavens to evade Yuanmu's attack.
But what shocked her was that the space of the myriad heavens was in utter chaos — no matter how many worlds she passed through, the crown of Yuanmu was always before her.
Shua, shua, shua — countless branches of Yuanmu, like swords, shot forth madly and stabbed at her.
Yue Tianzun urged her spatial divine ability, like a rapid melody of the qin, clashing with the oncoming crown of Yuanmu!
Yet the sword art Xiao Tianzun employed in this strike came from Jing Ping — a sword art refined by Imperial Preceptor Jing Ping and Shen Mu, encompassing everything from Sword Fourteen to Sword Nineteen!
Even though Yue Tianzun was a master of the way of space, facing such fierce and ever-changing sword art, she found it hard to hold her ground. Boom! Her form smashed through one heaven-world after another, flying over them, and behind her were millions upon millions of blue-green sword lights, like dancing flood-dragons in the sky, each long enough to span a whole heaven-world — utterly terrifying!
Yue Tianzun turned her head; with a hiss, a branch of Yuanmu stabbed past her cheek, leaving a wound.
Just as she seemed about to be overwhelmed, Tubo's attack arrived behind Xiao Tianzun — the great hand became a fist, intent on shattering Xiao Tianzun once more! Xiao Tianzun drew Yuanmu back; its roots and tendrils condensed into a colossal black hammer, and with one blow he met Tubo's fist.
The power of the two erupted. Tubo, far away in Youdu, frowned; his enormous fist cracked and split apart into continents.
"Old brother, if you do not descend in your true body, you are no match for me and the Earth Mother at all!
Fighting you across the boundary is dull beyond words — why not have a true duel!
