Chapter 1274 — A Demon Den in the Void
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Among these heart demons were some exceedingly powerful beings, and yet they were trampled and crushed to death by that giant corpse walker; the demonic nature within this corpse walker must be terrifyingly strong! Suddenly the corpse walker put its four limbs to the ground and leaped high, its bloody maw gaping as it plunged down from the air!
Bai Yuqiong, without thinking, made ready to use her spatial divine ability, but she forced herself to hold back, keeping the ability unspent, to see how Shen Mu would deal with it.
"Where I stand is the Nether Capital! " Shen Mu roared, and with his body as the center, endless Nether Capital demonic qi surged out. Flames blazed above his head, and the Nether Capital demon fire became a long horn twisting through nine turns and eighteen bends!
His flesh swelled, growing taller and larger, joint by joint, and in the blink of an eye he became a Tubo ten thousand zhang tall, with an ox's head, a tiger's face, and a human body, his sinewy frame savage and hideous. The corpse walker pressed down from the sky. Shen Mu drove his Nether Capital divine ability, and demonic qi spread for thousands of li, turning this place into the Nether Capital.
From the corpse walker's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, streams of black qi poured out, black qi like thick smoke, rolling in torrents, devoured by the Nether Capital! The black smoke rolled, thick and dense beyond measure.
How much demonic nature had accumulated in the Great Void over a million years?
Now this demonic nature had escaped from the collapsing void and lodged within corpse walker after corpse walker. The corpse walkers were not many in number, and so each one held a vast sea of demonic nature within it.
Shen Mu, transformed into Tubo, frantically refined the demonic nature, and said with a cold laugh, "Before I became Lord Mu, I had a nickname: the Divine Son of the Nether Capital.
You dare run wild before me. .
. " "Watch out!
" Bai Yuqiong's cry of alarm came from behind. Shen Mu hurriedly looked up, and saw that a great foot had already come down upon his head. Boom— The corpse walker's towering body pressed down, smashing earth and void until they cracked and popped, mud and mountain stone surging up like waves and rushing in all directions.
Bai Yuqiong hastily condensed space into a sword and cut down with it, splitting the wave apart; the wild wind too she cut in two with a single stroke! "The sword art Zixi taught me is truly marvelous.
.
. Oh, yes—Lord Mu!
" Bai Yuqiong came to her senses and hurried forward.
She saw the corpse walker's carcass heaped there like a dozen great mountains pressing upon the earth, its breath gone; surely all its demonic qi and demonic nature had been refined away.
And the Tubo that Shen Mu had become was nowhere to be seen.
"Lord Mu. .
. " Bai Yuqiong was downcast, but then she sensed, to her astonishment, a certain satisfaction in her heart, as though she wished for nothing more than Shen Mu's death.
Just then, Shen Mu's faint voice came from beneath the corpse walker: "Celestial Master Bai, give me a hand.
. .
" Bai Yuqiong hurriedly moved the corpse walker's body aside, and saw that the ground was a thousand zhang deep, and Shen Mu, in his Tubo form, lay sprawled in a huge human-shaped imprint, his face covered in blood, unable to move.
The pair of ox horns on his head had broken into seven or eight pieces.
Bai Yuqiong hastily dug him out.
Shen Mu drove the Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art, and his flesh quickly recovered.
He said, "I told you, dealing with demonic nature is my specialty. See?
Killing a corpse walker is easy for me, isn't it?
" Bai Yuqiong nodded and said, "There's still a footprint on your face. . .
" Shen Mu wiped the footprint away and said, "But next time we run into this sort of thing, I think we'd best dodge it first.
