Chapter 1581 — Invincible Under Heaven
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Lord Hao snorted coldly. "Twenty-six thousand Shen Mus?
What is there for me to fear?
At worst, I will slay them one by one and erase you completely from the long river of history! " Yet despite his words, he steeled himself and devoted every ounce of his strength to the fight.
Shen Mu's divine ability was far too uncanny; it spanned forty thousand years of time like a great river of ages, and everywhere bore the imprint of Shen Mu's figure. Though Lord Ling had been the originator of the Unchanging Divine Ability, when it came to wielding it with consummate mastery, one still had to look to Shen Mu.
For Lord Hao to do battle against more than twenty-six thousand Shen Mus was tantamount to fighting from the present age all the way back to forty thousand years ago. One could well imagine how arduous that would be!
Yet this battle, no matter what, he had to take up.
He absolutely could not tolerate Lord Xiao obtaining the Celestial Emperor's body!
As he was now, he was still one thread short of imprinting his power upon the Ultimate Void, for to imprint power upon the Ultimate Void, both body and primordial spirit had to enter the Ultimate Void together. There, the winds of cold silence howled, and without the strongest of bodies, none could survive!
This too was why the Great Emperor could not send his own body into the Ultimate Void.
But the Celestial Emperor's body was stronger still, the only body with any chance of entering the Ultimate Void without being destroyed!
Whoever obtained it might imprint their power upon the Great Luo Heaven and seize an invincible station!
He fought with all his might, and one Shen Mu after another fell at his feet, ground away by him.
Yet the wounds upon his body grew ever more numerous and ever more grievous. Even with Goddess Tai Su, that ancient goddess who could make things come true at will, she could not heal the wounds Shen Mu had left upon him! Shen Mu was a Heavenly Venerable who had established his dao through divine ability, and his divine ability could well be called peerless under heaven.
Looking back across the opening of the cosmos, when Primordial Chaos first divided, down to the present span of several billion years, not one person had ever raised divine ability to Shen Mu's height! The difficulty of breaking Shen Mu's divine ability was beyond imagination! As the battle wore on, Lord Hao's body was battered and torn, his chest pierced clean through, and yet he had only killed one-tenth of the Shen Mus within those forty thousand years of history!
If the battle continued, he would surely be beaten to a pulp by Shen Mu, smashed into mud, until neither his primordial spirit nor his body remained!
This could be called the most perilous battle he had ever known in all his life! Lord Hao had never imagined that this opponent, Shen Mu, would actually force him to such a pass!
"Hao'er, I can place you in an undefeatable position. " Goddess Tai Su's voice came, and she smiled.
"You should know what to do.
" Lord Hao slew yet another Shen Mu, and upon hearing this he immediately knelt, kissed Goddess Tai Su's toes, and sincerely worshipped her.
"Aunt, please save Hao'er!
" Goddess Tai Su was well pleased.
Her companion supreme treasure immediately transformed into a great bell that descended to cover Lord Hao and shield him. She smiled.
