The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
" Heavenly Venerable Xiao beat back Consort Yan and descended from heaven, sneering, "But the seal remains. You cannot descend in your true bodies, and you are no match for me.
If your true bodies did descend, you would be fettered by the Great Dao, and that would be the hour of your death. Why do you not swiftly withdraw? " He came borne on rage, even employing hidden means that forced Consort Yan to retreat, proof enough of his power, yet on his way to slay the Earth Earl the Great Emperor suddenly thrust in from the flank.
Heavenly Venerable Xiao's heart chilled, and the two clashed in midair and parted.
The Great Emperor sneered and abandoned him, speeding straight for the Earth Earl below. "The foster son's skill is not bad. " Heavenly Venerable Xiao sneered and likewise sped straight for the Earth Earl.
"Your wife, I have slept with her. " The Great Emperor's hair bristled in fury, and even as he chased the Earth Earl he fought savagely with him, while the Earth Earl, not descended in his true body, labored to reel in his Nether River Whip and at the same time sought to return to Youdu. Boom!
The ocean formed of Youdu demonic qi shook violently as the Great Emperor and Heavenly Venerable Xiao descended and blasted the sea of demonic qi apart, the surging presence of two Heavenly Venerable-level powers splitting the demonic ocean and laying bare the Chaos Sea beneath.
From beneath the Chaos Sea, Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian and the others looked up and could see only the thick legs and feet of those towering gods and demons, like pillars upholding heaven.
They trod upon the surface of the Chaos Sea, yet their weight fell not upon the Chaos Sea but upon old Tai Yi's staff. Xu Shenghua looked toward that staff and saw it pressed into a slight bend.
"Fellow Daoist, do you say this staff came from Heavenly Venerable Mu's household?
" Xu Shenghua asked. "Heavenly Venerable Mu's household has plenty of such wood?
" Old Tai Yi said with a beaming smile, "Whole mountains and plains of it. If Fellow Daoist Xu wants some, ask Heavenly Venerable Mu for a few hilltops.
Heavenly Venerable Mu is most generous and will surely not refuse.
" Xu Shenghua was greatly tempted.
Lan Yutian was tempted too and said, "I want a few hilltops as well.
" "Heavenly Venerable Mu will surely give them to you, rest assured, rest assured," old Tai Yi said with kind eyes and a smile.
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
Several more violent shocks came as the Earth Earl's sea of demonic qi burst apart entirely, for Consort Yan, the Ancestral God King, Divine Emperor Langxuan, and the others had descended, and the divine radiance of the Heavenly Venerables scoured clean, evaporating the sea of demonic qi until nothing remained!
The lava Earth Earl gripped the Nether River Whip and stood amid several Heavenly Venerables, the other end of the whip still tethering Heavenly Venerable Xiao's right hand.
Though the Earth Earl was ever detached, ever full of schemes, ever vast in power, at this moment he was utterly at a loss, standing there looking quite awkward.
Flight into Youdu was impossible for him. The ground where he stood was Youdu itself, yet now the demonic qi of Youdu had been dissolved away and beneath his feet lay the Chaos Sea, so that he was blocked fast with nowhere to go.
This lava Earth Earl was but his avatar, without the dread battle power of his true body, and ringed by wolves and tigers he could only be slain with a single move.
Suddenly the Chaos Sea rippled again as the Void Mother Beast descended, pressing close behind the Great Emperor and warily eyeing the Ancestral God King and the Earth Earl. She had nearly been refined to death by the Ancestral God King, and only when the Ancestral God King and the Great Emperor exchanged a head-on blow had she escaped from within the Ancestral God King's body, though her strength was thereby greatly impaired.
