Chapter 1491 — The Lament of the Fallen Heaven
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
In that moment, the consciousness of the Way of Heaven sensed that Lord Heaven's mind had lost its command over his flesh, and straightway formed itself within his body — space and time seizing control of Lord Heaven's flesh. Just then, Langxuan the Divine Emperor gave a sharp cry, activated the dao fruit within his own Heavenly Court, and drove it likewise into Lord Heaven's brow.
A vast and ancient dao-rhythm burst forth, sealing the consciousness of the Way of Heaven, so that it could not descend!
Hong Tianzun rose to his full height, sleeves fluttering, and flew into Lord Heaven's brow.
With a sweep of his great sleeve he gathered the two Artifact Yutianzun into it, then with a mighty shake flung them both out.
Shi Qiluo flew into a rage and cried in a stern voice, "Hong Tianzun! You have barely bested Lord Heaven, and now you turn on us — not even a mouthful of broth for your fellow daoists? " Langxuan the Divine Emperor was just about to charge into Lord Heaven's brow when suddenly the Artifact Yutianzun under Hong Tianzun's control came hurtling sideways at him.
It struck him full on, and his mind went blank; his body was dashed sideways tens of thousands of li, and he heard his own ribs crack, crack, crack. Chi — That Artifact Yutianzun was burst through the forehead by a single pointing finger of his, the back of its skull blown open, blood splashing across the Heavenly Court, drenching palace after palace.
The Artifact Yutianzun had already been driven to its limit by Hong Tianzun, its flesh unable to bear more; now, its forehead pierced by that finger, its whole body exploded with a thunderous roar. Langxuan the Divine Emperor spat mouthful after mouthful of blood.
The attack of an Artifact Yutianzun at the complete Heavenly Court realm was simply too vicious — even he could not withstand it. "My dao fruit!
" He forcibly suppressed his injuries and rushed at Lord Heaven — and saw Lord Heaven standing there, motionless, two strands of baleful qi suddenly writhing at his brow. With a chi, they sliced Lord Heaven's head open left and right, and pried off the top of his skull!
That was Qiang Tianfei, who had cut her way into Lord Heaven's brow, wreaking havoc within, splitting his skull apart. The power of that saber was immense — but flying out with the saber-light came Qiang Tianfei herself.
This Tianzun had nearly been flattened onto the God-Slaying Terrace by Hong Tianzun, and was kicked away together with the Terrace!
Flying out with Qiang Tianfei were the strands of vital essence that shot skyward from Lord Heaven's skull! Strand after strand of vital essence pierced the heavens; within that essence the Way of Heaven quaked, and the forty-nine Ways of Heaven within Lord Heaven's body began to flee, to escape outward!
"Lord Heaven is dying!
" Shi Qiluo, forgetting his quarrel with Hong Tianzun, shouted in wild delight.
His Chest of a Hundred Treasures flew open, and countless bizarre divine weapons poured out to snare Lord Heaven's vital essence and collect the Ways of Heaven. "The baleful aura of Heaven is so thick — Lord Heaven truly is dying!
" Qiang Tianfei, flattened onto the God-Slaying Terrace by Hong Tianzun, was likewise overjoyed. Her body swelled and shrank, swelled and shrank again, then re-inflated to its former state, and with all her strength she drove the God-Slaying Terrace and the two baleful divine sabers, devouring the baleful aura of Heaven in Xuandu.
That baleful aura was immeasurably thick, and her two baleful divine sabers drank it in like mad.
In the distance, Tu Bo's enormous head had already appeared in Xuandu — ox-head, tiger-face, long horns, colossal beyond measure. One palm pressed down upon Gong Tianzun, the other gripped Yan Tianfei. Gong Tianzun and Yan Tianfei had been gravely wounded by You Tianzun at any cost, and Tu Bo's arrival was perfectly timed: fresh and rested, he subdued the two Tianzun.
