Chapter 1394 — Slaying the Earth Mother
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
"Hypocrite!
" Earth Mother sneered, and came charging in with savage fury. Above Wei Suifeng's head the vault of heaven emerged, the Heavenly Dipper hanging inverted, the Heavenly River flowing within the Dipper, and beneath the Dipper lay his heavenly palace!
His path of cultivation was unlike any other: he had begun with the Great Nurturing Nether Demon Scripture, and with that scripture he had fused the various arts of the Imperial Throne, comprehending thereby his own Heavenly Dipper Dao Art. The road he walked was not that of forging separate heavenly palaces and gathering them into a Heavenly Court, but the road of the Dao Realm.
After all, he was a disciple of the Woodcutter Sage, Wen Tiange.
Of Wen Tiange's three disciples, he had received the most painstaking instruction and the longest teaching. Kaihuang had opened up the Dao Realm, and Wen Tiange had passed the Dao Realm down to him.
If one looked closely at his Heavenly Dipper, one would see that above the Dipper and its River lay layer upon layer of further Dippers, and river upon river of further Heavenly Rivers!
Wei Suifeng let out a long whistle and traded a hard blow with Earth Mother; at once he felt he was no match, and staggered back.
Crown Prince Youming charged in. One before, one behind, both were among the foremost Imperial Throne existences in the world today: one famed for the sheer profundity of his mana but somewhat lesser in the transformations of his divine abilities, the other famed for the versatility of his divine abilities but somewhat weaker in mana. Yet both were beings who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Court's four Celestial Masters and four-hued Emperors; set within the Heavenly Court, their strength would find few rivals!
Earth Mother met the two of them in battle without the slightest fear; even with two Imperial Throne powerhouses of great consummation joining hands, they could not affect her in the least! She pressed forward step by step, drawing ever closer to Shen Mu beneath the jade pillar of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner.
Her Primordial Tree had also completely immobilized the twenty-eight heavens of the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner, leaving those heavens utterly stagnant, unable to operate. Her Primordial Tree's roots had also pierced through the twenty-eight layers of heavens, entangling one weighty treasure after another.
She now held certain victory!
And at this moment, beneath the jade pillar by which the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner propped up the twenty-eight layers of heavens, Shen Mu bowed to Earth Mother.
Earth Mother chuckled.
"Heavenly Venerable Mu, you too are a hypocrite — nothing but a false gentleman!
" Shen Mu rose from his bow, drew a long breath, and suddenly the heavenly palaces behind him burst forth; palace after palace emerged, perfectly joined, becoming nineteen heavenly palaces linked into one great Heavenly Court!
Within those palaces stood primordial spirits, each raising its head to look toward the twenty-eight layers of heavens, each urging its mana, and at once the weighty treasures within the twenty-eight heavens were roused by him!
Dong — a great bell tolled, and at once the Primordial Tree roots coiled about its body were shaken apart. A thirty-three-layered tower blazed with light, each layer revolving in a different direction, and the various formation patterns branded within it burst forth, becoming thirty-three different killing formations that shredded the Primordial Tree roots to pieces!
An ancient zither played itself, dancing in the air, its notes sharp and clattering, cutting through the Primordial Tree roots like a blade through bamboo! .
