Chapter 1433 — That Detestable Tai Emperor
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Shen Mu's heart lurched. He suddenly saw a Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable stride out from the Spirit-Energy Transfer Bridge. Lofty and imposing of frame, it gazed far off at Qiang Heavenly Consort's domain and gave a cold sneer.
"This must be Lady Yuanmu's Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable, surely?"
Shen Mu's eyes flickered. The most conspicuous holy grounds on the Ancestral Court's front face had all been carved up by the various Heavenly Venerables; little prime land was left for Lady Yuanmu. Was Lady Yuanmu's Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable emerging now to stir up trouble and wrest territory from the other Heavenly Venerables?
"Surely Lady Yuanmu hasn't set her sights on the Tai Emperor's territory?"
Yet contrary to his expectations, the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable did not move against Qiang Heavenly Consort's domain. Instead it soared into the air — and in the instant it rose, a vast Guixu Abyss abruptly appeared in the sky and swallowed it whole!
"Sneaking about like that, that little wench Yuanmu is up to something again, mark my words!"
Shen Mu grew excited. The vertical eye at the center of his brow opened, and he peered into the void to watch the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable's movements.
Then he suddenly saw a figure shoot skyward from Qiang Heavenly Consort's domain, stirring no ripple at all, giving off no aura whatsoever, slipping soundlessly into the void to trail the Divine Artifact Heavenly Venerable.
"It's that little wench the Tai Emperor... bah! It's that little wench Qiang Heavenly Consort!"
Shen Mu grew more excited still. Qiang Heavenly Consort was the Tai Emperor's reincarnated body; she too had caught wind of Lady Yuanmu's doings and was stealthily tracking her!
He looked toward Qiang Heavenly Consort's domain — the Ancestral Court's God-Slaying Platform, steeped in deadly aura, the most baleful place in all the universe. Seen from afar, two blood-red killing auras rose towering into the air, twined together, vaster than the mightiest tornado in the world!
Those two killing auras were blood-red and incomparably keen. One glance from afar and Shen Mu could not help but shiver.
"How on earth did the blood aura of the God-Slaying Platform take shape? Why is its killing intent so heavy?"
He yearned to go in and experience the God-Slaying Platform for himself, yet merely at the outer edge of Qiang Heavenly Consort's domain he could feel that this blood aura threatened even the Dao of heaven and earth. Standing here, he felt the Dao runes within his body shattering one after another, sliced clean in half!
"The Ancestral Court's God-Slaying Platform cannot possibly be this strong!" Shen Mu could not help shivering again and again.
His primordial spirit, too, sensed an incomparably keen force pressing in on it, like countless blades of utmost sharpness poised to fall at any moment!
More terrifying still — the God-Slaying Platform severed the Dao-heart! The Heavenly Court's God-Slaying Platform was a place for slaying gods: it severed the bodies and the primordial spirits of rebellious gods, but it did not sever the Dao-heart. Luo Wushuang was called the Heavenly Court's finest divine blade for his outstanding saber arts. Having stepped into the Dao Realm, he entered the Heavenly Court's God-Slaying Platform alone, bearing a single blade, and in the end walked out unharmed by virtue of his own saber Dao.
Yet Shen Mu doubted that if Luo Wushuang had gone to the Ancestral Court's God-Slaying Platform, he might not have survived even the single trial of the Dao-heart. Strong as Luo Wushuang's Dao-heart was, he had not yet cultivated to the height of the Dao Realm's twenty-fourth heaven.
"The God-Slaying Platform's power is no trifling matter! It cannot sever my Dao-heart, but it may well sever my body or my primordial spirit."
Shen Mu withdrew his gaze; two blood-colored blade lights were still whirling in his pupils, and it was a moment before he ground them out.
