Chapter 1733 — Hunting the Divine Official
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
The Nether Heavenly Worthy's primordial spirit was a shade the stronger, and over the years he had striven to push his strength to its utmost limit, seeking to attain the Dao through his primordial spirit, and the power of that primordial spirit had grown more and more overbearing. The Void Heavenly Worthy, however, had the advantage of a mighty physical body; and having refined the body of Tubo and obtained the fragmentary Great Way of the Nether Capital, his dharma power had made great strides; and with more than ten years of guidance from the Hall Master of Lingguan, his progress was astonishingly swift!
The battle between the two was a dazzling spectacle. The Dao arts of the Nether Capital were famed for their strangeness and guile, and in their hands that strangeness and guile was displayed to the fullest. Suddenly the two of them fought their way into the heartland of Jingping, and in the distance they saw an enormous Six Paths Heavenly Wheel revolving around a towering figure — Shen Fengqing.
Little Tubo Shen Fengqing had his eyes tightly shut, the vertical eye at the center of his brow open, sustaining the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm so that it would not break. If the Nether Capital invaded, and he were not there to sustain the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm, then the devil-gods and monsters of the Nether Capital would not be surging into the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm — they would be climbing up into the world of the living and slaughtering their way into Jingping, and that would surely set off a bloody massacre!
His six arms spread wide, the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel revolving ceaselessly around him, his gaze shining upon each wheel in turn.
Upon the wheels, all manner of magnificent characters and runes flashed and shifted without cease, causing the Great Way of the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm to change. Strange strains of the Dao's music came from the heavenly wheels, and in the battlefield that surrounded the Land of No Sorrow, the souls of fallen gods and devils came flying without cease, drawn in by the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel.
Even the other heavens and myriad worlds were, faintly and indistinctly, touched by the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel. The Void Heavenly Worthy caught sight of Shen Fengqing and his heart turned cold; he swung the Styx Whip with all his might, and the Styx surged mightily, rushing straight for Shen Fengqing within the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel!
If Shen Fengqing could be gravely wounded, and his "where my body stands, there is the Nether Capital" broken, then the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm would shatter, and the devil-gods and monsters of the Nether Capital could drive straight into Jingping and turn it into a hell on earth!
"Don't you dare! " The Nether Heavenly Worthy threw himself across the path of the Styx Whip, and his physical body was smashed to pieces with a crack. It became countless Nether Heavenly Worthies riding paper boats, flying off in all directions, while his primordial spirit leaped up and blasted the Void Heavenly Worthy's primordial spirit out of his body with a single palm!
For a short while neither could get the better of the other.
Each steadied his position and watched the other warily. Suddenly, demonic qi came rolling in, and a devil-god with an ox's head and a man's body descended from the sky and landed with a thud in the Nether Capital of the Yuan Realm, before Shen Fengqing.
That devil-god was shaped like Tubo, though somewhat different; yet it too had a vertical eye in the center of its brow. It glanced around, then fixed its gaze on Shen Fengqing within the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel and said, "Shen Fengqing, Fellow Daoist Shen, Lingguan pays his respects. .
