Chapter 1847 — The Last Thread of Survival

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 3

Young Master Wuji looked at the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels behind his head, her gaze complex, and said, "Seventh, you and I are in fact two very similar people. You and I both believe that our teacher's ideals have gone wrong and need to be revised. You may not be able to prove that your path is right, nor may you be able to prove that my path is wrong. " Shen Mu nodded and said, "Second Sister's path may be right, but I cannot take that risk. " Young Master Wuji nodded: "You have never regarded yourself as a leader.

If you were a leader, you would know that the rest are mediocre nobodies; no matter how many of them there are, they are merely worms gnawing at the universe. You take them too seriously. With cultivation like yours and mine, we could remake heaven and earth, replay the primordial chaos of the universe, and shape a perfect world.

" Shen Mu smiled faintly: "Second Sister, those whose Daos differ cannot take counsel together.

Please. " Young Master Wuji drew a long breath and said solemnly, "Little Junior Brother, please!

" In the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court, Young Master Lingxiao, Young Master Zixiao, and the assembled Hall Masters and Dao-attainers all raised their heads, gazing toward the Sea of Chaos at the very heights of the firmament.

Young Master Zixiao suddenly said, "Senior Brother, the situation is now greatly favorable. We should strike and wipe out Jingping's forces in one sweep! " The twenty-eight Hall Masters all looked toward Young Master Lingxiao. One Hall Master said in a deep voice, "The Fourth Young Master speaks reasonably.

At this moment the Seventh Young Master and the Second Young Master are contending, and the Seventh Young Master has no leisure to attend to us, while Jingping's Dao-attainers are clearing out the remnants of Old Man Wuyai's forces.

This is the best opportunity to annihilate Jingping's Dao-attainers in one stroke! " Young Master Lingxiao's eyes flickered; he was clearly greatly tempted. At this time, Shen Mu was held up by Young Master Wuji and had no strength to spare, while Jingping's Dao-attainers were locked in battle with the forces under Old Man Wuyai. If the Hall Masters and Dao-attainers of the Jade Capital City were to strike now, they could surely sweep away Jingping's Dao-attainers and Old Man Wuyai's forces together, as easily as snapping dry twigs!

"Good!

" Young Master Lingxiao said in a deep voice, "The Jade Capital City will strike!

" Boom! The Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court shook with a thunderous roar. One treasured hall after another burst forth with thick Dao light, and the Dao trees throughout the city suddenly grew with wild frenzy.

Dao chains interwove and spread from the Dao Fruits, bringing the great Dao throughout the entire divine city to the verge of boiling. The twenty-eight Hall Masters and the assembled Dao-attainers roused their magic power and bore this ancient divine city aloft, surging in mighty procession straight toward the original site of the World Tree! Young Master Lingxiao's eyes flickered, and he shouted, "Put some pressure on Seventh, and bring Second Sister's Wuji Hall here to me! " Just then, high in the firmament, the Sea of Chaos suddenly heaved violently.

The people in the Jade Capital City looked up and saw the Sea of Chaos torn apart by an immense force, and the phantom images of sixteen great abysses of Guixu appeared.

Through the entrances of those abysses, one could actually see scenes from the past sixteen cosmic epochs! "Second Sister is summoning her Wuji Hall herself! " Young Master Lingxiao's heart stirred slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Stop the transfer of the Wuji Hall.

.

.

" Before his words had faded, space and time suddenly twisted into a wheel.

The phantom images of the sixteen great abysses of Guixu were swept up by rivers of chaos, one after another, and came to rest upon the sixteen rivers. Looking up from the vantage of the people in the Jade Capital City, what they saw through the phantom images of the great abysses of Guixu was not scenes of the sixteen cosmic epochs, but face after face of Shen Mu.

It was the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels, driven by Shen Mu, that had twisted space and time! Young Master Lingxiao's eye twitched violently, and he cried out in alarm, "Transfer the Wuji Hall at once!

" But it was already too late. At the entrance of each of the sixteen great abysses of Guixu, a great hand descended.

The Red Rope Knot Seal created by the Master of Miluo Palace erupted in Shen Mu's hands, and the sixteen palms struck Young Master Wuji's body almost simultaneously! Young Master Wuji tried to summon her Wuji Hall; the entrance of each great abyss of Guixu corresponded to her true body. But Shen Mu was one move ahead: through the flaw revealed by the abysses she had created by tearing space and time, he attacked that flaw in one stroke and unleashed a sure-kill blow!

This strike was not created by Shen Mu; had it been his own divine ability, it might not have been enough to kill Wuji.

But the Red Rope Knot Seal was precisely a divine ability created by the Master of Miluo Palace specifically to target Wuji, and this strike was enough to take her life!

The Six Paths Heavenly Wheels spun almost madly, tearing the Sea of Chaos into countless fragments! In the Jade Capital City, Young Master Lingxiao, Young Master Zixiao, and the others looked up and watched this scene, their hearts turning cold.

Suddenly, the madly spinning Six Paths Heavenly Wheels came to a halt. The shattered Sea of Chaos returned to one whole, and the surface of the sea grew calm once more.

Behind Shen Mu's head, the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels slowly sank, half standing above the surface of the sea and half hidden beneath it.

Across from him, Young Master Wuji was silent for a long while, then said, "I am not at my peak now.

Had I been at my peak, this move of our teacher's might not have been able to wound me.

" Shen Mu thought for a moment and said, "Second Sister's talent is unmatched in a generation, but I fear you are still no match for our teacher. He could suppress you with one hand, and he could kill you with one hand as well; it was only that he could not bear to.

" Young Master Wuji raised her head, and what she saw was not the sky but the Ancestral Court. She said bleakly, "Our teacher is dead? " Shen Mu nodded gently.

Young Master Wuji smiled a radiant smile: "Then I shall follow him. Seventh, when you return to the past and meet me at my strongest, you must fight me fairly. " Her body crumbled and dissolved.

Shen Mu was silent.

He gently turned the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels, and they rotated.

"Second Sister, like our teacher, I cannot be certain that my path is right.

Our teacher gave you one chance, so I, too, will give you one chance to make a comeback.

. .

" His gaze fell upon the Jade Capital City below, and as the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels turned, the shattered soul of Young Master Wuji gathered once more, was sent out of the Ancestral Court, and went to be reborn. "If in the future I return to the past and cannot find a way to resolve the great annihilation of the Void, then I will not stop you," Shen Mu said in a low voice.

The reverse side of the Yuan World was the territory of the Beast World.

The ancient beast race dwelt here, and many divine ability users of the beast race had been born.

One day, a ray of light suddenly came flying. The divine ability users of the beast race looked up and saw that within the light was vaguely a charred tree root.

The tree root fell to the ground, burrowed deep into the earth, and vanished.

The divine ability users of the beast race went to search for it, but never found that charred tree root.
