The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Tribulation Sword could withstand it, but his body could not! Bang— Shen Mu's body burst apart into a mist of blood, which then congealed and restored his body—only to burst apart again! Beneath the World Tree, Shen Mu's body broke and reformed, broke and reformed.
Amid the blood-red and dazzling divine light, one could only see a figure of light endlessly bursting apart and re-forming, bursting apart and re-forming. His sword light thrust straight on, advancing ever forward under the bombardment of the seven Heavenly Venerables!
Boom!
In a terrifying shockwave, the seven Heavenly Venerables were flung in all directions. Their Heavenly Courts crumbled, splitting into individual heavenly palaces, which cracked and collapsed.
In midair the seven Heavenly Venerables spat blood in unison, and in a single instant countless sword marks appeared on their bodies! Shen Mu rose into the air and bowed.
Consort Yan exploded with a bang, becoming a mist of blood! Shen Mu bowed again, about to bow Consort Yan to death outright, when suddenly a bell tolled.
The great bell behind Hao Tianzun flew out, its sound reverberating, and came to a stop before him!
The Taiyi staff flew up from behind Shen Mu and landed in his left hand.
With one staff he flicked aside the companion supreme treasure of the Taisu Goddess, his arm numbed by the shock! Yet the sword light in his hand still thrust at Consort Yan.
Just then the Taiji Sand Table swept with a whoosh across in front of her.
Shen Mu's heart sank.
He saw two Taiji ancient gods come flying, one from each side, using the Taiji Sand Table to block his sword light. The two ancient gods struck together, shattering Shi Qiluo to pieces!
Lady Taiyin flicked her hand, gathering up the blood mist that Consort Yan had become, while the Taiyang ancient god seized Shi Qiluo's primordial spirit in one hand and laughed, "Empress, Lady Yuanmu, your opportunity has come!
After today, you shall attain the Dao!
" The two ancient gods drove Consort Yan and Shi Qiluo into the Taiji Sand Table, then flew back with it. Lady Taiyin's gaze fell on Shen Mu's face: "Mu Tianzun, the first thing we do to repay you! " Shen Mu was briefly startled, then nodded slightly.
"That counts as one.
Two more to go. " The two ancient gods roamed over the ruins of the Jade Capital City, then suddenly their tails intertwined.
Towering mountains appeared, range upon range, and their forms vanished without a trace. The Ancestor God King, Gong Tianzun, Fire Tianzun, Xu Tianzun and the Langxuan Divine Emperor fell to the ground.
Fire Tianzun struggled to rise, but collapsed again, unable to stand. Shen Mu strode toward Fire Tianzun, the Tribulation Sword in his hand still dripping blood, which pattered onto the ruins of the Jade Capital City.
Suddenly, he stopped. On the Dao Tree, Hao Tianzun suddenly smiled—a smile that was not quite a smile, a weeping that was not quite weeping.
"I've won. . .
" He laughed aloud. "I've finally won! With Consort Yan gone, Shi Qiluo gone, and the Taiji ancient gods gone, this battle—I've finally won!
" He laughed heartily.
In the halo behind his head, thirty-five heavenly palaces appeared. Behind him, the Taisu Goddess raised her slender jade hand and gently struck the bell.
The bell tolled, and at once a thirty-sixth heavenly palace appeared behind Hao Tianzun's head! An incomparably terrifying power burst forth from within him.
Hao Tianzun's aged body began to radiate vitality once more, reversing its decline, gradually growing young!
Shen Mu frowned deeply and looked at Hao Tianzun.
That was the power of a Dao-achiever, bursting forth from within Hao Tianzun!
