The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 6
The method the Great Emperor received had not been complete, and the Cloud Heavenly Venerable had filled it out for him. The shattered Taichu Daluo Heaven had in truth been offered up by the Cloud Heavenly Venerable as a direct sacrifice, transformed into a torrent of the Dao of Taichu that followed his sword as it pierced into the body of the Second Young Master Wuji!
What he sacrificed was not only the Taichu Daluo Heaven, but also the Taichu Imperial Sword in his hand. With such immense energy, he sacrificed the Second Young Master of Miluo Palace to the Ultimate Void!
The Second Young Master's body was pressed into the Ultimate Void by that terrifying force; the power of the sacrifice made her body explode in an instant, her flesh and her Great Dao exposed within the Ultimate Void! At once the wind of cold silence turned utterly savage.
The Second Young Master's Dao of Guixu, and even her flesh, blood, and primordial spirit, dissolved at flying speed, and soon her white bones were laid bare! Within her, another body emerged, also struggling in the void, its face contorted, striving to break free of its connection to the Second Young Master; it was none other than Emperor Haotian! A shrill, miserable scream rang out, like a woman's voice, yet mingled with a man's, the two overlapping, making the Empress's blood run cold; she hastily slipped away.
Lan Yutian wanted to give chase, but then he saw the Cloud Heavenly Venerable walk down out of the Ultimate Void, and could not help hesitating.
"Brother Yu, go on," the Cloud Heavenly Venerable said, waving to him as though nothing were amiss. "Cloud Heavenly Venerable, just call me Lan Yutian; I am not the Yu Heavenly Venerable! Something is very wrong with you!
" Lan Yutian went to meet him. "That blow from the Second Young Master is stamped inside your body; it is extremely perilous!
" The Cloud Heavenly Venerable waved to him from afar.
"No need to come closer.
Just do what you have to do. If you see the Mu Heavenly Venerable, tell him: what he could not accomplish, I have accomplished.
" Lan Yutian was taken aback. He did not go after him, but turned and gave chase to the Empress.
His mind was in a daze, and within the Ultimate Void the phantom images of Miluo Palace's Lingxiao Treasure Hall and Zixiao Treasure Hall suddenly appeared, quaking with a thunderous roar; Emperor Haotian's body and the Second Young Master's body abruptly split apart!
Emperor Haotian coughed blood in great mouthfuls, then swiftly drew away from the Second Young Master, flew out of the Ultimate Void, and headed for the armies of the Heavenly Court.
The Cloud Heavenly Venerable halted, gazing at Emperor Haotian from afar, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Haotian Heavenly Venerable, for the rest of your days you will never be able to erase the shadow I have left in your heart of Dao.
I, Yun, will make you remember it for a lifetime!
" He drifted away, utterly free and at ease.
The remnants of Wuyou Township were marching toward Jingping. The Woodcutter Sage and Di Yiyue, one at the front of the ranks and one at the rear, had all along the way endured the onslaughts and slaughter of the Heavenly Court's vanguard, crossing mountains and fording rivers in their hard advance.
Then the Woodcutter and many of Wuyou Township's officers and soldiers raised their heads and saw the Cloud Heavenly Venerable's figure passing above them. "Has the Cloud Heavenly Venerable won?
" one officer murmured. The Woodcutter's face was expressionless, and he said nothing.
The remnants of Wuyou Township pressed on; another group of officers and soldiers volunteered to stay behind and hold the rear, ensuring the rest could reach Jingping as quickly as possible. The Moon Heavenly Venerable and the God King Langwan were locked in desperate combat with the Heaven Duke's physical body and the Ancestral God King.
