Chapter 1835 — Bottomless

This great power of the Miluo Dao Burial would destroy everything of Shen Mu, ruin his divine treasury, his Five Tai Great Daos, his Dao fruits, Dao flowers, and World Tree, crush his Guixu Great Abyss, and level his heavenly palaces and celestial court!

Indeed, this one blow could destroy his fleshly body and primordial spirit! Yet just as a smile surfaced on Young Master Lingxiao's face, upon Shen Mu's World Tree the branches and leaves parted, and a third Dao fruit appeared.

Boom!

Violent shock filled the Chaos Sea in an instant, heaving up this great power of the Miluo Dao Burial, which should have held Shen Mu utterly suppressed, yet now Shen Mu's strength surged madly, leaving the Twelve Palace Lords and the one hundred and eight Enlightened unsteady on their feet, their magic power churning.

Boom!

Another violent shock came, and the Chaos Palace behind Shen Mu vanished without a trace, replaced by sixteen Chaos Rivers, rivers stretching far and wide, with the seventy-two palaces each standing upon a different river.

The hearts of the crowd started, and Young Master Lingxiao hastily cried aloud: "Hold the power together, do not fall into the rivers!

" The might of the Miluo Dao Burial erupted in full, and at the same time a great bell appeared in Shen Mu's hand, its tolling shaking out ripples that struck in all directions, and the all heavens and myriad worlds destroyed by the Miluo Dao Burial reappeared before all eyes. "Hold steady, do not fall into the rivers!

" Young Master Lingxiao had just spoken when suddenly one Enlightened lost his footing, tumbled from before his treasure palace, and fell into a Chaos River, where a wave rolled and he vanished.

Clang, clang, clang! The bell tolled without cease, and Enlightened after Enlightened could not keep their footing, blasted one by one from before their palaces to fall toward the rivers.

The formation of the Miluo Dao Burial was broken, chilling every heart, for they had misjudged Shen Mu's cultivation and strength, leaving one Dao fruit uncounted, and one move amiss had lost the whole game.

Now the might of the Miluo Dao Burial was no longer strong, no longer able to withstand Shen Mu's Universe Bell, and to fight on would only let him knock them all into the Chaos Rivers.

Fallen into a Chaos River, even if one could survive the Calamity of Ruin, one would be cast into a prehistoric ruined universe.

Without the shelter of Miluo Palace, even if they could block the Calamity of Ruin, they could not block the Calamity of Creation! Young Master Lingxiao howled in fury, reached out and seized, and the Dao spear flew to him, and with one thrust he pierced Shen Mu's Universe Bell.

Clang-- A heaven-splitting peal rang out, and above Shen Mu's head the Universe Bell was pierced through and sent flying back.

Shen Mu started inwardly, then flew back in retreat, laughing: "Third Brother, had you brought out your Dao spear sooner and let me witness its might, none of this would have happened. I came here only to witness the might of your Dao spear, and now that I have seen it, farewell!

" He at once flew away in retreat, ready to leave Yujing City.

Young Master Lingxiao saw red with killing intent, controlling Haotianzun's fleshly body and charging with spear in hand, and though that Dao spear had not yet fully descended and its might was not at its peak, once the Dao spear came forth Shen Mu's Universe Bell could not withstand it at all. Clang!

Another dreadful bell note rang out, and in Yujing City a forest of withered Dao trees crumbled to dust amid the tolling.

Clang!

The bell tolled again, and a great palace in the city suddenly collapsed into flying ash!

Young Master Lingxiao charged at Shen Mu with spear in hand, thrust after thrust stabbing into the Universe Bell, riddling the bell with holes, and Shen Mu was shaken flying out of the city, while Yujing City, bright as new, was left broken and battered by this battle, nearly half torn down between them.

Chaos filled the city as the Twelve Palace Lords rushed to rescue those Enlightened falling toward the Chaos Rivers, yet they could not save them all in time, and more than ten Enlightened fell into the rivers and vanished.

As Shen Mu was forced out of Yujing City, the Chaos Rivers disappeared, for those Chaos Rivers were the sixteen rivers within Shen Mu's Chaos Palace, linked to the Calamities of Ruin of sixteen Cosmic Epochs, and to fall within meant slim chance of survival.

Boom! Violent shock came from beyond the city as a divine mountain range stretching tens of thousands of miles was lifted by Young Master Lingxiao with one spear thrust, refined in an instant into a long dragon that swept across Shen Mu's body, while the Dao spear stabbed again into the Universe Bell, leaving the great bell leaking air on every side.

The two fought beyond the city until heaven and earth were overturned, and in the distance Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua, Kaihuang, Jiang Baigui, and the others came on hearing the news, and seeing this scene from afar they moved to charge in.

Xu Shenghua held them back, shaking his head: "No need to go forward, to go forward is to court death.

Quickly record Young Master Lingxiao's powers!

" Granny Zhu, Zhu Santong, and the others were newcomers and did not grasp his meaning, yet they saw Lan Yutian, Jiang Baigui, Daozu, and the others swiftly recording Young Master Lingxiao's powers with great skill, plainly not the first time they had done so. In the distance Young Master Lingxiao fought long without prevailing, and catching sight of Xu Shenghua and the others upon the World-Crossing Golden Ship recording his powers, his heart chilled, and he withdrew his spear and vanished without a trace.

Shen Mu walked over covered in blood, holding up his battered Universe Bell, came aboard the ship and sat down with a thump, panting hard, and lifting his eyes asked: "How much did you record?

" "Still not much. " Xu Shenghua answered without lifting his head: "Young Master Lingxiao's reserves run far deeper than yours, you have been studied through and through, but Young Master Lingxiao has revealed only a small part of his skill.

" Shen Mu breathed out in relief and smiled: "So long as he cannot kill me, sooner or later I will draw out every power and trick he owns!

" Granny Zhu ached with pity and hastily had alchemists step forward to treat Shen Mu's wounds, while Zhu Santong quietly asked Taishi: "Does the Seventh Young Master often do this?

" Taishi nodded and whispered back: "He often goes to his enemies to take a beating, and we have worked out much of the Third and Fourth Young Masters' arts and Dao.

But those two Young Masters are unfathomable, we have not plumbed their depths, though we have Old Man Wuya figured out well enough.

"
