Chapter 1430 — The Twenty-Sixth Heaven of the Dao Realm
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
The killing intent in Langxuan Divine Emperor's eyes slowly dispersed: the great divine ability of the Dao of Taichu that Shen Mu had comprehended was not his Divine Origin Finger, and this set his mind somewhat at ease.
Had the peerless art of the Dao Realm Shen Mu awakened truly been his Divine Origin Finger, then he would have had no choice but to strike, to wipe Shen Mu from existence!
The Divine Origin Finger was his unmatched ultimate art; should an outsider learn it, or comprehend it, then that person might come to know his weakness, and that was a thing he could absolutely never tolerate. He was not like Fire Tianzun, who could pass his ultimate arts, his own cultivation methods included, to Haotian Tianzun, who could entrust his very life to Haotian Tianzun.
He was nowhere near so generous! The power of One Qi Hunyuan Roaming the Dao erupted, and Langxuan Divine Emperor's eye corner gave a sudden twitch; the heart he had just set at ease was strung up again in an instant.
That was a divine ability transformed from the Dao of Taichu, joining spirit consciousness and innate primal qi in perfect union; wherever that strike passed, everything was vaporized, turning into wisps and threads of chaotic qi!
The form of Shen Mu's move was a bow. A bow forward.
Beneath his feet appeared the eight tiers of the Yao Terrace; Shen Mu stood upon the terrace, bent low in a bow, and all before him turned to chaotic qi, all utterly annihilated!
The might of this one move was even greater than that of his own Divine Origin Finger, and the Dao-might it held was utterly terrifying!
Of course, Langxuan Divine Emperor judged the power and might of Shen Mu's move from the standpoint of his own cultivation and strength; if Shen Mu's cultivation should climb to his own level, the power of One Qi Hunyuan Roaming the Dao would surpass the Divine Origin Finger by a great deal.
As things stood, Shen Mu's cultivation was insufficient, not yet enough to bring the power of One Qi Hunyuan Roaming the Dao to its utmost, yet Langxuan could already see the potential of this move!
This move, One Qi Hunyuan Roaming the Dao, stirred his killing intent once more. But he still pressed it down: mighty as One Qi Hunyuan Roaming the Dao was, and though in the Dao Realm it surpassed his Divine Origin Finger, Shen Mu's cultivation realm remained comparatively low, and the Yao Pool realm posed no threat to him.
The price of killing Shen Mu was too great, greater than he could bear.
In the sky, Shen Mu descended slowly, and landed once more upon the Yao Terrace.
Langxuan Divine Emperor looked that way, and saw the youth's fluttering robes settling little by little, returning to stillness. Shen Mu stood there, eyes closed, spirit gathered, motionless.
Langxuan Divine Emperor's heart lurched: "Can he still be comprehending the Dao?
This aptitude and insight of his — is it not far too good?
" Fortunately Shen Mu was not comprehending the Dao; no Dao resonance of entering the Dao issued from him, which let Langxuan Divine Emperor breathe easy, and he thought: "The Yao Pool is mine.
Mu Tianzun and I are both but one step from entering the Dao.
If Mu Tianzun can enter the Dao upon the Yao Pool and comprehend a divine ability of the great Dao of Taichu, then so can I!
" His heart could not help but grow fervent. He already possessed the Divine Origin Finger, and that divine ability was in fact also a divine ability of entering the Dao! He himself carried the bloodlines of both the Creator and the Heavenly Emperor Taichu; as the very finest bloodline among demigods, he had been born with an innate divine ability.
By the time he grew to adulthood, his attainments in spirit consciousness and innate primal qi were already exceedingly profound, and without any need for comprehension he could employ divine abilities of immense power.
Such was the strength of an adult demigod: talent came with the bloodline and strengthened with the years.
