Chapter 1583 — The Torch-Fire of Zixiao Hall
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
So long as I am of the slightest use, he will kneel to me and lick my toes and call me aunt, until he has squeezed me dry. And when I am of no use at all, the first to kill me will be him!
Every humiliation I dealt him repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
That is the kind of man he is!
" Involuntarily she glanced at her natal companion treasure.
It was battered and tattered, riddled with holes by Shen Mu's blows; the power left in it was still formidable, but its former might was gone. She was nearly squeezed dry herself. Now her only remaining use was to help Hao Tianzun control Gong Tianzun, Zu Tianzun, Lang Tianzun, Xu Tianzun, and the rest; once Hao Tianzun attained the Dao, he would no doubt have no further need of her to control them, and would turn on her instead! Only now did she realize how perilous her position was. She needed Hao Tianzun, for Gong Tianzun controlled the Taisu ore veins of the Ancestral Court, and she had to obtain Taisu raw stones and Taisu divine stones.
Hao Tianzun had always held her vital point in his grasp; of the two of them, Hao Tianzun was the one who held the other's life in his hand. "I can make him, and I can destroy him!
" The Goddess Taisu ground her teeth and thought, "I can control the other Heavenly Venerables and borrow their power to destroy him!
I can capture Gong Tianzun and make her mine, and take the Taisu ore veins! " Hao Tianzun's strike this time was still the Myriad-Dao Heavenly Wheel, but its power was greater than before.
With Lingxiao Hall replaced by Zixiao Hall, the might of his techniques and divine arts had risen greatly, and the wheel was wreathed in purple qi that even had a look of primal chaos qi about it. Yet Shen Mu, who had studied the runes of primal chaos qi, could still tell the difference.
The Fourth Young Master must have studied the dao arts of the Master of Miluo Palace, but had not comprehended that master's techniques and divine arts through and through; the purple qi of Zixiao Hall was somewhat specious.
Even so, the power of Hao Tianzun's strike was tremendous indeed!
Boom! The Primal Chaos Finger collided with the Myriad-Dao Heavenly Wheel; the two forces erupted, and neither was the lesser!
Shen Mu, controlling the Heavenly Emperor's physical body, soared into the air, cupped his hands, and thrust; the power of One Qi Roaming the Primordial Dao burst forth, and wherever it passed, all things turned to chaotic qi. The force of that blow was not a whit inferior even to Xiao Tianzun's Taichu divine art! On the other side, Hao Tianzun gave a long cry and raised both hands to meet him.
The two raced forward at full speed, and in the next instant four arms and four palms slammed savagely together!
From beneath the arms of the Heavenly Emperor's body that Shen Mu controlled, two more arms grew out, and two more from its back; the four arms attacked Hao Tianzun like a raging storm. Behind Hao Tianzun's head his primordial spirit appeared and blocked every one of the blows.
The two towering bodies vied for mastery, fighting until the heavens split and the earth cracked; then suddenly they leaped, and fought their way up into the sky!
The Goddess Taisu's eyes flashed with light.
She thought, "If I suddenly withdrew one of his heavenly palaces now, Hao Tianzun would surely be slain by that little wretch!
" Once the thought was born, she could scarcely contain it. Yet if Shen Mu did kill Hao Tianzun, there was no guarantee he would not turn on her. After all, she and Shen Mu were bound by a blood feud deep as the sea; she could not be certain he would tolerate her.
And even if he would, she would not.
For it was Shen Mu who had forced her to emerge into the world ahead of her time, and Shen Mu who had battered her supreme treasure to this state.
