Chapter 1477 — The Stone Spirit Appears in Endless Transformation

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 1 of 2

"Xuandu today is a veritable revel of demons!

" Shen Mu threaded his way through Xuandu with Zhe Huali, Tian Shu, and the rest at his side, and every so often a Heavenly Venerable would come streaking past, and at such moments he had no choice but to dodge; he could not help but sigh, "There isn't even a chance to find an opening to ambush the Fire Heavenly Venerable. " He had been watching the Fire Heavenly Venerable all along, trying to find a chance to strike, yet though he searched long, no such moment ever came. "Shen'er, you cannot keep your eyes fixed on the Fire Heavenly Venerable," Zaifu said, unable to hold back any longer.

"The other Heavenly Venerables can be ambushed as well.

" Tian Shu, Zhe Huali, and Luo Wushuang were likewise left rather speechless by Shen Mu's fixation on the Fire Heavenly Venerable.

The Fire Heavenly Venerable was fast; even bearing the Dao Fire Ancestral Land of the Southern Pole Heaven, his speed was terrifying, and he was forever turning into a streak of firelight and sweeping off into the distance.

He was hunting the Moon Heavenly Venerable, and had sworn he would not rest until the Moon Heavenly Venerable was dead; the Moon Heavenly Venerable, for his part, relied on his dao arts and divine powers to weave among the various Heavenly Venerables, and even if he could not grievously wound them, he sowed great confusion among them. To find a chance to ambush the Fire Heavenly Venerable under such conditions was simply too hard. Shen Mu too recognized his own fixation, and at once abandoned the notion of keeping his eyes solely on the Fire Heavenly Venerable, turning instead to analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each Heavenly Venerable.

"The Vast Heavenly Venerable, the Fire Heavenly Venerable, Heavenly Consort Qiang, Langxuan, Shi Qiluo. The Vast Heavenly Venerable is too strong.

After I cut off his hand, the only way to profit from him is to wait until he is wounded and use the Heavenly Net Dao Soldiers to seize his other Heavenly Dao Soldiers.

Ambushing him is very hard; before, it was the mindful catching the unmindful, but now he is on his guard, and ambushing him would only get me killed.

" "The Fire Heavenly Venerable is running the most eagerly now, but in truth he is lying low. He is hunting the Moon Heavenly Venerable, rushing about, yet he cannot kill him, and that way he avoids being the first to clash with the Heavenly Lord. To ambush and scheme against him, for now there is no chance. " "Langxuan is too powerful, and Heavenly Consort Qiang's two blades are more than we can withstand.

Reckoning it all up, ambushing Madam Yuanmu is the safer course. . .

" Shen Mu blinked, and his gaze came to rest on Shi Qiluo. Among the Heavenly Venerables, Shi Qiluo's dharma power was the weakest; her fighting strength rested chiefly on the divine artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu, but when she controlled that artifact, her control over herself was not so nimble.

Therefore, with the five of them, Shen Mu and his companions, having reached the thirtieth heaven of the Dao of the Blade, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and the blessing of the Heavenly Malice besides, grievously wounding Shi Qiluo was still possible!

"Shi Qiluo is that little wench Madam Yuanmu's, and that little wench and I. .

. pah!

We have nothing to do with each other!

" Shen Mu made up his mind. Like Madam Yuanmu, he was of a temperament that dreaded nothing so much as a world at peace; but Shen Mu dreaded only that the Ten Heavenly Venerables should be at peace, that the Heavenly Court should be at peace, whereas Madam Yuanmu wanted the whole world thrown into chaos.

Yet when it came to doing away with the Heavenly Lord, Madam Yuanmu and the Ten Heavenly Venerables shared the same interest.

By now Shi Qiluo had come to a spot not far from that divine artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu which the Heavenly Lord controlled. This artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu was the Ancestral God King's, yet it had been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of Xuandu and turned into the Heavenly Lord's great weapon against them!

Shi Qiluo was the maker of the artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu, and the pretext for her coming this time was that she meant to subdue this artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu.

That artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu was exceedingly fearsome, wielding the power of the Heavenly Dao to its utmost; a casual flick of its hand was a divine power that was the grand culmination of forty-nine Heavenly Daos. Yet Divine Emperor Langxuan, matched against it, was no less dazzling.

In his hands, the Dao-Entering divine art of the Dao of the Primordial Beginning was no longer the simple One Finger of Divine Origin. His One Finger of Divine Origin had originally been the strongest divine power among the Ten Heavenly Venerables; though it was but one finger, its might was truly overbearing, and even the Grand Emperor, famed for the strongest physical body, could not withstand that finger of his.

And now Divine Emperor Langxuan had actually comprehended great divine arts of the Dao of the Primordial Beginning at varying levels of the dao realm, each stance stronger than the last, and in his contest with this artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu he did not fall short in the least. In the vast starfields of Xuandu, above the Heavenly River, the two fought a battle that displayed a fighting strength which left even the other Heavenly Venerables gasping in admiration.

The rivers of stars in the starfield were severed by the two of them; countless planets were blasted apart; sun after sun was shoved from its place; even the Heavenly River was cut off from flowing because of the two of them! "When did that fellow Langxuan become so overbearing?

No, he must be suppressed. " Shi Qiluo stared fixedly at that artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu; she intended to wait until the artifact had wounded Divine Emperor Langxuan before subduing it. Divine Emperor Langxuan's fighting strength climbed higher and higher, his Primordial Beginning divine arts growing ever more fierce and unyielding.

In but a short while he had unleashed twenty-eight Dao-Entering great divine arts, and watching, Shi Qiluo's eye corners twitched without cease.

"Why does this fellow enter the Dao so fast? It has been only ten-odd years since Kaihuang passed down the dao realms, and he has already cultivated to this step.

Even Taichu, his sworn foe, surely never had such comprehension, did he? " Shi Qiluo blinked, and a sourness rose in her heart: "Could it be that God King Gongyun's seed is simply better?

Better than other people's seed? " Her gaze suddenly fell upon the halo behind Divine Emperor Langxuan's head.

Within the halo was Divine Emperor Langxuan's Great Heavenly Court, and above the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of that Great Heavenly Court floated a plain, unadorned fruit.

The fruit was shriveled, without a trace of luster, wrinkled, and yet it spun without cease. The more that dao fruit spun, the stronger the dao resonance upon Divine Emperor Langxuan grew, until it seemed he might at any moment enter the Dao once more and step into the twenty-ninth heaven of the dao realm!

"What is that thing?

" Shi Qiluo did not recognize the dao fruit, and was still seeking her opportunity, when suddenly a God-Slaying Platform hurtled in between the artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu and Langxuan. Heavenly Consort Qiang stood upon the platform and laughed with a cackle, "Langxuan, this Consort has come to aid you!

" Two crimson mystic lights chopped out from the God-Slaying Platform, and Shi Qiluo could not help but fly into a rage: "Damn you, Grand Emperor, you mean to wreck this old lady's divine artifact!
