Chapter 1393 — Paying Homage to the Earth Mother
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
The Dark Emperor and the Martial Emperor became gods through sacrifice, after all, so their vision was shallow, and you have no eye for such things either. " Crown Prince Youming opened his mouth, then sighed again and said no more. Shen Mu gently shook the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner in his hand.
With a hum, twenty-eight layered canopies unfurled, and twenty-eight heavens appeared, howling as they rotated and expanded outward, soon shrouding the vast space of the Ancestral Court. These layers of heavens even split the earth apart, cutting off the Earth Mother's retreat.
Earth Mother looked around and saw that within the twenty-eight heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner were powerful heavy treasures. These treasures had clearly not been forged by the Dark Emperor and Martial Emperor; the formation runes and glyphs within them were simply too powerful.
As she had said, the reason the Dark Tortoise Emperors' Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner had earned the name of the foremost treasure under heaven was merely that the Heavenly Emperor and others did not wish to show off.
Whether it was the Heavenly Emperor or the Lord of Heaven and Earth Lord, each possessed treasures of immense power. Even the treasures of the Empress and her sisters were no weaker than the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner.
And Earth Mother herself was originally a supreme treasure of immense power. She had seen the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner of old. Though intricate and formidable, it was far from being as terrifying as it was now. The current Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner had nearly all the power of its various heavy treasures activated.
These treasures were as numerous as stars, spread throughout every heaven. Clearly, a supreme grandmaster skilled in forging and formations had spent a very long time continuously elevating the treasure's power, refining the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner to a degree it had never reached before.
Earth Mother sneered, not afraid in the least.
Though she had lost her physical body, and even her roots had been taken by Heavenly Venerable Xiao and Gongsun Yan, she possessed the Core of the Primordial Tree. Her current strength, even if not equal to a Heavenly Venerable, was no weaker than existences like the Dao Ancestor and Great Brahma.
Even if Shen Mu brought out the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner, even with Crown Prince Youming and Wei Suifeng, two beings at the Emperor Throne realm, she was still certain of victory.
"Die—" Earth Mother let out a shrill shriek.
Behind her appeared her true body, which was none other than the Core of the Primordial Tree. At this moment, the Core of the Primordial Tree was even more majestic and massive than when the Earth Mother had first descended upon the Yuan Realm. The crown of this tree directly lifted up the layers of heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner, making it impossible for the heavens to change their sequence.
Clearly, Earth Mother had studied the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner and knew that this treasure could grant whatever was asked, able to freely swap the order of the heavens. In the Yuan Realm, the Primordial Tree was what held up the heavens.
Thus, she easily fixed the heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner in place.
From the very start, she had stripped away this method of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner.
Earth Mother revealed her true form. Countless roots danced wildly, and one thick root after another spread toward the various heavens, invading them, rolling toward the heavy treasures suspended in each heaven.
When it came to how to break the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner, she also had a natural advantage.
Her figure shook and rose, racing through layer after layer of heavens, pouncing toward Shen Mu.
Fixing the heavens, collecting the treasures, killing Shen Mu, all in one breath.
