Chapter 1484 — One Strike Pierces the Daoist's Heart
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Shen Mu's divine consciousness was exceedingly powerful as well, yet compared with Palace Heavenly Venerable and Langwan God King it fell far, far short; the divine-consciousness arts of those two women had all but wiped out, in the span of a single turn, the Daluo Heaven of divine consciousness with which he had imitated the Great Emperor! But he had also succeeded in keeping Langwan God King's divine consciousness from coming into contact with Palace Heavenly Venerable's; so long as the two did not clash, Palace Heavenly Venerable would find it hard to persuade Langwan by words alone.
Words were slower than divine consciousness, less complete than divine consciousness, and could be interrupted by Shen Mu at any moment. Langwan immediately withdrew her divine-consciousness art, lest she harm Shen Mu.
Palace Heavenly Venerable, however, did not withdraw hers; seeing that Shen Mu was about to perish beneath the might of her art, suddenly the sound of a zither rose — Moon Heavenly Venerable plucked the strings, and layer upon layer of space appeared, blocking Palace Heavenly Venerable's art.
Palace Heavenly Venerable frowned slightly.
Fire Heavenly Venerable, having recovered his physical body, flashed with firelight and appeared at her side, his face grim. The Ancestral Land of Dao Fire of the South Pole Heaven had been sent away by Moon Heavenly Venerable; even he could not sense where she had hidden it, and the fury in his heart was hard to quell.
He had not yet obtained the Lord of Heaven's Way of Heaven, and now he had lost the Ancestral Land of Dao Fire of the South Pole Heaven — naturally his rage knew no bounds.
Shen Mu looked at Palace Heavenly Venerable and Fire Heavenly Venerable with a smile, nodded to them as though greeting old friends, and suddenly said, "Fire Heavenly Venerable, Yu Heavenly Venerable is still alive.
Did you know this?
" Fire Heavenly Venerable's heart was greatly shaken; his gaze fell upon Shen Mu. Though Shen Mu's face was covered, that black cloth meant little to a Heavenly Venerable.
To a Heavenly Venerable, a single glance was enough to know whose face lay beneath the black cloth; there was not even need to guess.
As for Yu Heavenly Venerable being alive, Fire Heavenly Venerable had heard rumors of it too — only he had never gone to see for himself.
But Shen Mu was the Grand Master of the Undying Myriad Tribulations, one who could revive even ancient gods; if Yu Heavenly Venerable's corpse could have been preserved until now, then Shen Mu truly might be able to revive him!
Toward Yu Heavenly Venerable, Fire Heavenly Venerable's feelings were truly complex. Shen Mu's sudden mention of the matter struck straight at his Dao-heart, making him forget for the moment that the Ancestral Land of Dao Fire had been taken by Moon Heavenly Venerable.
Shen Mu smiled faintly and said unhurriedly, "Of the eleven Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court, apart from Xiao Heavenly Venerable, who was exiled, I fear all ten have already come to Xuandu. The Heavenly Court is empty.
If I were Yu Heavenly Venerable, I would seize this chance to go to the Heavenly Court, break the seal on the Pixing Hall, and steal back my own remnant soul. " Fire Heavenly Venerable's expression shifted between light and dark, like a bonfire leaping in the night shining upon his face, making it now bright, now shadowed. He looked toward the battlefield in Xuandu.
Hong Heavenly Venerable and the other three great Heavenly Venerables, bearing the divine artifact Yu Heavenly Venerable, were attacking the Lord of Heaven, their assault growing ever more ferocious; the Lord of Heaven's downfall was only a matter of time.
By now six great Heavenly Venerables had gathered in Xuandu; only Hao, Yan, Xu, and Zu had not shown themselves. Fire Heavenly Venerable's voice was hoarse as he said, "Yan Heavenly Consort, Hao Heavenly Venerable, and Xu Heavenly Venerable are still in the Heavenly Court at this moment.
