Chapter 1327 — The Great Abyss Begets Primordial Qi
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
The four deities' faces twitched violently as they stared at Shen Mu, who had appeared so abruptly; bewilderment flickered in all their eyes.
Mother Earth could suddenly contain her rage no longer. She brought her palm down, and the geomagnetic primordial force erupted; that single palm strike could have ground stars to dust!
"Don't!" Lord Heaven and Lord Earth cried out together.
But it was already too late.
Mother Earth's palm fell upon Shen Mu, yet it passed clean through him. Shen Mu was walking along the back of her hand. Mother Earth stared blankly at her own hand, at a loss.
"Lord Mu, playing your tricks again!"
The Ancestor God King too flew into a sudden rage—and more than that, it was the shameful fury of one who had been humiliated. One after another, the heavenly dao treasures in the sky unleashed their power, all of them crashing toward Shen Mu at once!
Shen Mu had "arrogantly" strolled through his Mystic Capital World, looking down on all, holding nothing in his eyes—and that was truly more than he could bear!
In the very instant he made his move, Lord Heaven broke into a smile and cried out in delight, "The rebellious wretch has shown his flaw!"
Molten Earth Lord and Mother Earth, who had been beaten into helplessness by the Ancestor God King, were overjoyed at these words—but Lord Heaven's next sentence chilled their hearts: "We flee! Follow me—"
Lord Heaven abruptly exerted his power; starlight gathered in his eyes, and with a sharp crack he shot through the Mystic Capital World, splitting open a great hole. The three fled in panic.
Suddenly the Mystic Capital World trembled, and from the heavenly palace behind the Ancestor God King, one incarnation of the heavenly dao after another rose to its full height and moved to intercept the three.
Lord Heaven, Lord Earth, and Mother Earth fought with all their strength. Meanwhile, the Ancestor God King's heavenly dao treasures struck Shen Mu one after another, splitting the earth open, turning soil to magma, and vaporizing the magma!
And Shen Mu walked upon the magma as though he felt nothing at all.
Beside himself with rage, the Ancestor God King suddenly abandoned Shen Mu and turned his killing intent upon Lord Heaven, Lord Earth, and Mother Earth, who had just broken out of the encirclement and escaped the Mystic Capital World. He sneered, "If I cannot do anything about Lord Mu, can I not do anything about you?"
He abruptly withdrew his heavenly dao incarnations, and his strength soared; he beat Lord Heaven, Lord Earth, and Mother Earth until they spat blood again and again.
At this moment, Shen Mu unhurriedly walked out of the impregnable Mystic Capital World and, before their very eyes, strode off without a backward glance.
Lord Heaven and Lord Earth, guarding Mother Earth as they fled, caught a distant glimpse of Shen Mu and each started slightly: "The Shen boy seems to have taken the wrong path... Yes, he was still affected by our divine abilities after all, and strayed from the road without realizing it!"
But they had no time to spare for Shen Mu; they fought the Ancestor God King with all their might, yet could do nothing but take a beating.
"Mother Earth must not die!"
Lord Heaven shouted, "Borrow power from the true body!"
Above his head, vast starlight gathered into a river, pouring down from the heavens like a galaxy and surging into his body.
At the same time, Lord Earth also borrowed power from his true body; the Way of the Dark Capital gathered and merged with demonic qi, pouring into him in a single rush.
Their strength soared, yet they still could not match the Ancestor God King and were driven back step by step.
The four of them fought furiously on the plateau of the Ancestral Court, flattening the plateau into a plain and the plain into a basin. Shen Mu walked to and fro within the basin, circling round and round.
