Chapter 1575 — The Other Shore Overthrown
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
" The Silkworm Maiden stepped forward and said with a smile, "She has never had a selfish thought, so I heed her.
My tribe — who among you trusts me? " More Creators stepped forward and silently came to her side.
From the Xiatai tribe, the Yanlong tribe, the Dongming tribe, the Zhuqiu tribe and others, scattered Creators also stepped forward, coming silently to Langwan's side.
Langwan grew calm and waited quietly. Gradually the numbers increased, but at the fullest count they did not reach ten thousand.
Langwan looked at one tribe after another. No one answered her anymore.
"Once you leave the Other Shore Void, never return!
" The divine consciousness in the Ancestral Spirit Realm thundered.
Langwan raised her head to the Ancestral Spirit Realm: "Ancestral Spirit Luoxiao, will you come with me?
" "I will not go.
" Ancestral Spirit Luoxiao's face emerged, no longer mad and addled as before, but very calm. He said, "They built the Ancestral Spirit Realm and the Other Shore Void according to my prophecy. I cannot abandon them.
" Langwan nodded silently and led this band of fewer than ten thousand Creators toward the Void Bridge.
They looked back. The ancestral spirits of the Ancestral Spirit Realm had already begun selecting a new chieftain, appointing new elders, and at last, by the joint recommendation of the elders and chieftains, chose a new Divine King.
Langwan turned away and, with the kinsmen who followed her, passed through the Three-Room House and came to the Void Bridge.
Beyond the Void Bridge, the battle between Carefree Land and the Heavenly Court still raged. Kaihuang had left early, and Lord Yue had also departed Carefree Land, which steadied the Heavenly Court's great army. The Four Great Heavenly Masters, the Heavenly Kings, and the Four Emperors of the Four Directions marshaled their superior forces, first securing their footing, then encircling and annihilating layer by layer.
But Carefree Land, whose gods and demons were far fewer than the Heavenly Court's, fell into a passive position, trapped by the Heavenly Court's army of gods and demons.
Carefree Land's Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Kings all came forth, battling the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Kings in a slaughter of extreme ferocity.
The Shen clan, led by that enormous infant Shen Fengqing, met the Yin Heavenly Son and the other Four Emperors of the Four Directions in battle, fighting until heaven and earth split apart. Though Shen Fengqing was incomparably formidable, called the Little Earth Lord, and though the Shen clan fought with valor and feared no death, they could not break through the Heavenly Court's encirclement of gods and demons. When Langwan led her host charging in, Carefree Land was in dire peril. The Heavenly Court's army had already fought its way up to the Thirty-Three Heavens, battering the heavens until they cracked, exposing the enormous steel dragon bones buried beneath them.
The entire Thirty-Three Heavens of Carefree Land were thirty-three enormous war machines, the supreme masterpieces forged by the Heavenly Craftsmen of Kaihuang's era. But facing the Heavenly Court's terrifying divine artifacts and heavy weapons, one after another, these thirty-three war machines might be shattered at any moment.
Langwan led her host charging in with a roar. The many Creators and her divine consciousness and divine powers erupted, sweeping away the Heavenly Court's army before them and instantly carving out a bloody path. Nearly ten thousand Creators, their bodies vast, moved with sweeping force, shifting stars and changing constellations with every gesture.
On the battlefield, great divine powers were hard to unleash, for they easily threatened one's own people's lives; but in close combat, they possessed inconceivable might. And the Creators not only had powerful divine consciousness, their bodies were also comparable to ancient gods.
In close-quarters slaughter, they far surpassed the demigod races!
Add to that Langwan, an existence at the Heavenly Lord level, and this charge instantly opened a passage for Carefree Land's Thirty-Three Heavens. The Thirty-Three Heavens came charging with a roar. One Creator after another soared into the air, landing upon one heaven after another, helping the Kaihuang armies there clear out the Heavenly Court troops that had fought their way into Carefree Land. Langwan too was intercepted by the Heavenly Court's army.
The Heavenly Court's Four Great Heavenly Kings drove the divine artifacts of the Four Emperors of the ancient gods, battling around her. The artifacts' power was driven to its utmost, transforming into the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Langwan fought and retreated, holding off the Four Great Heavenly Kings. Only when the Four Great Heavenly Masters had marshaled their formation and closed in did she withdraw unscathed.
The Heavenly Court's army pursued close on their heels, chasing Carefree Land all the way toward the Origin Realm. At that moment, in the Other Shore Void, the remaining Creators had just selected their next Divine King when suddenly a figure crossed the Void Bridge and arrived in the Other Shore Void. Lord Xiao appeared beside the newly chosen Divine King of the Creators, Moon in Water.
He raised his head to gaze at the Ancestral Spirit Realm, which had not yet vanished, and could not help but show a faint smile. "Third Brother, Luoxiao, your Second Brother has come to see you.
" His voice carried through the Ancestral Spirit Realm.
Ancestral Spirit Luoxiao's face emerged from the Ancestral Spirit Realm. He cried sharply, "Be on guard—" The Ancestral Spirit Realm transformed into an enormous eye, and all the ancestral spirits' divine consciousness erupted through the Primordial Stone!
Lord Xiao laughed heartily, letting the ancestral spirits' divine consciousness strike him. Those consciousnesses rushed into his mind, yet no power erupted from them; they were directly refined by him!
"Your divine consciousness was stolen from me to begin with!
" Lord Xiao reached out toward the Ancestral Spirit Realm's Primordial Stone: "Now it is merely returning to its rightful owner!
I have waited a long time for this day!
" Boom! The Creator ancestral spirits' attacks grew fiercer, but any attack on the level of divine consciousness was utterly useless against Lord Xiao as he now was.
The Divine King Moon in Water also erupted, charging at Lord Xiao, but her attacks were no more than a tickle to him.
Thousands upon thousands of Creators charged in ferociously, madly attacking Lord Xiao, and at that moment his palm closed on the Primordial Stone that composed the Ancestral Spirit Realm. He clenched hard.
The Ancestral Spirit Realm collapsed with a thunderous roar.
Countless ancestral spirits within were annihilated, their divine consciousness devoured by Lord Xiao, utterly erased. "Thank goodness Langwan left.
. .
" Ancestral Spirit Luoxiao showed a faint smile of relief: "The Creators are not yet annihilated. " His spirit and consciousness shattered, and his awareness sank into absolute darkness.
