Chapter 1358 — I Alone Win
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
In the sky forty-nine great stars fell, dodging the leaping strings in the air, then suddenly each star gave a violent shudder and turned in the sky into forty-nine gods of the Heavenly Way, behind one god floated Tiangang, the Tiangang Great Way like a vast net, behind one god floated Tianjing, one god sat enthroned upon Tianxuan, Tianxuan like a chariot, and there were gods of Tianxue and Tianyuan and every Heavenly Way, with the Heavenly Way behind each made manifest!
One god after another descended from the sky to contend with the music of the zither.
On the other side that strange wind howled, rolling up peach branches and peach leaves and peach blossoms, and those flowers and branches and leaves formed a torrent, racing through the cry of the music, until suddenly countless flowers and branches and leaves rushed before the palace ruins, petals and leaves dancing, gathering together to form the figure of Divine Emperor Langxuan. The music struck from all sides, shredding Divine Emperor Langxuan, yet the shattered Langxuan gathered as fast as he broke, petals and branches scattering from his body, dispersed and regathered.
What had come was not his true body, but his divine consciousness. His true body had been gravely wounded by Tai Di and forced to return to the Heavenly Court to heal, Tai Di had hurt him too badly for him to recover to his peak in a short time.
Against Heavenly Venerable Yue he is the most adept, back then it was he who first struck her, giving the other Heavenly Venerables their chance to wound her grievously. His divine consciousness may be called the bane of the Way of Space. "Heavenly Venerable Yue, you have clung to life so long, more than forty thousand years, no? " Divine Emperor Langxuan strode forward and said aloud, "Back then you should have died with Heavenly Venerable Ling, you lived only because you were crippled, ruined.
Only you in your crippled state could set the Heavenly Venerables at ease.
And now you seek restoration, that is plainly seeking death. " Stride as he might, he could never draw near the palace ruins, and he frowned faintly and looked up at the sky.
In the sky the forty-nine gods of the Heavenly Way shouted as one, forty-nine Heavenly Ways like long rainbows pinning one string of light after another, and the power of the music was greatly lessened.
Yet even so Divine Emperor Langxuan still could not draw near.
Those forty-nine gods of the Heavenly Way suddenly turned themselves into rainbows, descended from the sky along the rainbow Heavenly Ways, and landing turned again into gods of the Heavenly Way, and the faces of these gods were each exactly alike, all the visage of the Ancestral God King.
These gods were the Great Way incarnations of the Ancestral God King.
He too, gravely wounded by Tai Di, had been forced to return to the Heavenly Court to heal, his true body unable to move.
"Heavenly Venerable Yue.
" The Tiangang god spoke, unhurried, "Cease your healing, return to your crippled body, and you may yet live, otherwise blame not your fellow seekers for mercilessness. " Heavenly Venerable Yue heard nothing.
Suddenly god after god sensed the Heavenly Way dao wounds within Heavenly Venerable Yue healing at speed, and all opened their eyes together, their gazes falling upon the Alchemist flitting about Heavenly Venerable Yue upon Shen Mu's palm.
"You ruin our Heavenly Way, you are doomed to calamity!
" the forty-nine gods said with one voice.
The Alchemist's heart tightened, he hastily felt the bronze mask upon his face, the mask was still there, and only then breathed easy, "Luckily, for fear of making Shen Er feel inferior, I never took off the mask, else these fellows would have seen my true face. .
.
" "Heavenly Venerable Xiao, Ancestral God King.
" Divine Emperor Langxuan said suddenly, "Today there are only we three, but surely you have not forgotten that scene of those years?
