The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Releasing me now is not merely to make me deal with Earth Mother, is it? You intend for me to ambush Heavenly Venerable Gong and Langxuan Shenhuang, do you not?
" Shen Mu shook his head and said calmly, "Only to maintain the balance for now. I do not wish the back of the Ancestral Court to fall into the hands of any Heavenly Venerable. " He undid the fourfold seal, and the Great Emperor's head was freed at once.
Earth Mother Yuanjun controlled the Great Emperor's palm and struck again, but suddenly the palm went out of control, its divine might surging, and it turned to strike her instead. Caught off guard, Earth Mother Yuanjun was sent flying backward by the palm, and countless roots from deep within the earth were torn out with her—bang, bang, bang—thick roots were ripped up and flew into the distance along with Earth Mother Yuanjun.
The Great Emperor's head floated up and looked around proudly.
The giant beasts charged under Earth Mother Yuanjun's control, but then his divine consciousness swept out, and one mighty giant beast after another was immediately taken under his control. The Great Emperor's head floated up and landed on the forehead of one of the giant beasts.
He laughed heartily, "Mu Tianzun, this vast realm of the Ancestral Court is where I once galloped and commanded the winds. It is a pity there are no void beasts; otherwise I would let you see the splendor of my prime! " Giant beasts galloped, carrying his head and his fist into the distance.
There, Heavenly Venerable Gong, Qiang Tianfei, Langxuan Shenhuang, and Long Xiao were locked in a stalemate, neither side able to gain the upper hand. "Mu Tianzun, I will not kill you all, but I cannot let you have an easy time either! " The Great Emperor's voice came from afar, laughing freely.
"Earth Mother Yuanjun, I leave Mu Tianzun to you! " Shen Mu's expression changed drastically. He stamped his foot hard and, without another word, activated his divine consciousness.
The reverse summoning art started, and in an instant a reverse summoning altar took shape! Clang, clang, clang— Countless runes swirled around him, and in but a moment countless summoning runes were imprinted on the altar.
The altar was prepared in an instant, and he immediately activated the art.
The people on the altar immediately sensed Shen Mu's vast, profound divine consciousness surging into the void and making contact with Crown Prince Youming in Great Black Mountain on the front of the Ancestral Court.
Shen Mu's divine consciousness was incomparably powerful, and he forcibly transformed Crown Prince Youming's divine consciousness into a summoning formation! In Great Black Mountain, Crown Prince Youming was lifted off his feet and pulled into the sky, all manner of magnificent runes continuously appearing around him, leaving Long Qilin and the others dumbfounded.
Hum!
The art activated. One figure after another appeared beside Crown Prince Youming.
Shu Jun, Xu Shenghua, the First Ancestor, Lan Yutian, and the others appeared one after another upon the rune chains of the summoning art. The number of people grew greater and greater.
On the other side, Shen Mu sent everyone away and then prepared to summon himself to the front of the Ancestral Court as well.
Just as his figure was about to vanish, countless roots burst from the ground, pierced through the altar, and wrapped around his feet with a swish, swish, swish! The roots grew madly and soon wrapped Shen Mu up like a giant rice dumpling, leaving only his head exposed.
Shen Mu clenched his teeth and frantically activated his mana; his figure, along with the roots, vanished from the back of the Ancestral Court!
"You want to leave? Mu Tianzun, you underestimate this palace! " No sooner had his figure vanished than countless thick roots followed him into the void, tearing violently.
