Chapter 1394 — Slaying the Earth Mother
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
The might of the various treasures bloomed in that instant, and in a flash every root in every heaven was severed! Suddenly the power of all the treasures in all the heavens burst forth together; countless dao patterns and dao chains appeared around those treasures, becoming their own distinct divine abilities and killing formations, and crashed down as one!
Earth Mother was startled; she hastily forced Wei Suifeng and Crown Prince Youming back and looked up, and saw a sight that filled her with utter horror!
The countless treasures of the twenty-eight heavens gathered all their might and struck the Core of the Primordial Tree from every direction, blasting flat the crown of the Primordial Tree she had labored so hard to cultivate and grow, and shattering every one of its roots!
Even the bark of the Primordial Tree was stripped away in a single blow!
The Primordial Tree was now once more as the Core of the Primordial Tree had once been — a bare, naked stick! "Earth Mother, the Core of the Primordial Tree was a gift you gave me.
Later, seeing that you had no body, I gave the treasure back to you. " Shen Mu's voice came, rather cold, clearly into Earth Mother's ears: "The Lord of Heaven intervened and bade me spare your life, and I spared it.
Between us, by rights, our grudges should have been dissolved. In truth, I did not kill you; you ought to thank me for not killing you.
Yet you have opposed me again and again.
" The twenty-eight layers of heavens, the countless treasures, shifted, gathering at the summit of each layer of heaven; the treasures blazed with light, their bell mouths facing down, cauldron mouths facing down, zither faces facing down, pagoda bases facing down, and suddenly all the treasures' might erupted!
That terrifying surge crashed from the first heaven to the second, joined with the might of the second heaven's treasures and crashed into the third, then combined with the third heaven's treasures and crashed into the fourth!
"Even just now, my senior brother and the Crown Prince urged you to set aside your grudges and seek out Great Brahma. Yet you would not listen. " Shen Mu impassively roused the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner; the might of the countless treasures gathered into one and struck the tip of the upright Core of the Primordial Tree. That might was so vast that it blasted open the tip of the Core of the Primordial Tree, shattering it to powder, destroying every inner structure of that Primordial Tree, and smashing its way down!
Earth Mother shrieked, flying at the Core of the Primordial Tree. "All that should be done, I have done," Shen Mu said, his face calm. Crown Prince Youming showed a look of reluctance, then suddenly said, "Heavenly Venerable Mu has a heart that cherishes life.
Earth Mother, why not bow your head and concede? " Wei Suifeng too looked reluctant.
"Junior brother, Earth Mother's crimes do not warrant death. .
. " Boom — the might of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner crashed down and blasted that Core of the Primordial Tree utterly to powder!
Earth Mother rushed there and was flung away by the surging might. Her flesh began to dissolve, turning to flying ash, and soon only a soul remained; her cultivation too was rapidly scattering.
And at this moment the myriad treasures of the heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner stirred their might once more; the dao chains of one treasure after another descended from the sky and bound Earth Mother's soul.
Crown Prince Youming suddenly cried out, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, think thrice!
Earth Mother has rendered merit to the Origin Realm! " "But she has also brought calamity to the Origin Realm.
" The primordial spirits in Shen Mu's heavenly palaces all urged their mana; the might of the myriad treasures of the heavens crashed down, gathered into one, and struck at Earth Mother's soul.
"In the three hundred thousand years of the Supreme Emperor, the living beings who died are beyond counting.
