Chapter 1385 — South of the Ancestral Court's Heavenly Gate
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
As the consciousness of Shen Mu and the others flew past, the sea wind they stirred alarmed these clams. The luminous pearls in the air fell one after another into the shells, and the clams snapped shut with a clap, spouting jets of seawater and burrowing deep into the beach.
Those luminous pearls were treasures within the bodies of these giant beasts.
As their consciousness flew over the mountains and rivers of the Ancestral Court's reverse side, they also witnessed giant beasts battling among the peaks, a scene of world-shattering destruction. Those were adult giants, having lived on the reverse side for countless tens of thousands of years, their bodies tempered to incomparable strength, colliding like two Martial Emperors clashing with pure brute physical force, battering the heavens and splitting the earth!
And on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court, giants possessing such battle prowess were not few!
Suddenly, Shen Mu's consciousness halted, bringing the consciousness of the others to an abrupt stop as well.
The others wondered, then noticed why Shen Mu had stopped so suddenly.
They had actually seen a primordial deity born upon the reverse side of the Ancestral Court!
It was an Ancestral Court dragon vein undergoing transformation!
That mountain range lay prone like a coiled dragon, stretching for tens of thousands of li. Its age was too great; spiritual power had coursed through the mountain body, and unknowingly the range had been nourished by spiritual energy and power until flesh and blood were born within it.
Its body was overgrown with all manner of spirit medicines, and year after year nourished by their medicinal power, gestated by the heavenly Dao of the Ancestral Court's reverse side, it had unknowingly developed spiritual intelligence as well.
Today was the very day of its transformation, the day it would become a primordial deity!
The others watched as stone transmuted into flesh and blood, as the mountain's roots, buried deep in the earth, became dragon claws. The claws lifted, shaking the earth and mountains, and the dragon body slowly arched upward.
This ancient dragon deity was about to take form!
"The reverse side of the Ancestral Court is truly a land of treasures at every turn!"
The others watched with dazzled eyes and shaken spirits, praising without end. It was their first time witnessing the birth of an ancient deity born of heaven and earth, and their horizons were vastly broadened.
Just then, suddenly, dozens of adult primordial giants came charging forth and actually struck at that transforming ancient dragon deity. In but a brief moment, they smashed the divine dragon formed from the Ancestral Court's dragon vein to pieces!
These primordial giants must have been kings among giants, their strength immense—killing that ancient dragon deity was as easy as lifting a finger.
The others were stunned. Then a powerful divine consciousness from one of the primordial giants discovered them. With a roar, Shen Mu knew at once that things were dire, and with decisive judgment he urged his consciousness into distant flight.
Behind them, dozens of beast kings came howling in pursuit, but fortunately Shen Mu's consciousness was also incomparably powerful, and he soon left them far behind.
"This reverse side of the Ancestral Court is somewhat strange. Why would these giants kill the ancient deities born upon the reverse side?"
Shen Mu had just thought this when he suddenly halted his consciousness. The consciousness of the others swept forward, and there before them stood a majestic Heavenly Gate!
They were two incomparably colossal primordial mountains, wholly crimson, wreathed in flames, the flames spontaneously forming all manner of mysterious patterns that shifted without cease.
The mountains were magnificent and towering, like the two doorposts of a gateway, appearing before them.
