The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The long whip was coiled about the primordial spirit's palm, and it gave a fierce shake. Palace Heavenly Venerable was flung out helplessly, then, with a whoosh, hauled back again!
There to meet her was the other arm of the Nether Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit — a massive fist that smashed savagely into her body!
Boom!
A terrible tremor burst out in all directions. Snow-white blades of light formed a ring that swelled with furious speed, making every star in all Xuandu throb with a hum!
Palace Heavenly Venerable's form flew backward. She retracted the long whip, her two feet found purchase, and her body almost lay flat against the starry sky, leaving two rifts in space behind her.
She halted her backward flight. Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth as the long whip coiled, swish, swish, swish, around her right hand.
Her Heavenly Court sent forth an even more resonant blast of horns, lifting her blood and qi still higher. Palace Heavenly Venerable strode as if flying, like a raging tiger descending the mountain, pouncing viciously — her will to fight even fiercer!
Hummm—
Another tremor rushed at her face, and another crease appeared upon it, the twentieth.
And behind the head of the Nether Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit, the twentieth world of Youdu slowly opened.
Palace Heavenly Venerable rushed before him, the long whip dancing like a dragon, thrusting and striking, and all manner of divine arts flew out from her fluttering sleeves, flew out from between her brows, and now and again the long whip itself flew out from her sleeve — impossible to guard against.
The Nether Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit whirled its two hands and blocked every one of her attacks, so that she could not pierce the primordial spirit's defenses at all to strike his true body.
The Nether Heavenly Venerable had weaknesses, had flaws — but she could not seize that weakness, that flaw!
Hummm!
Hummm, hummm!
Twenty-three creases had already appeared on Palace Heavenly Venerable's face. Her flesh had begun to show age, and a head of glossy black hair had turned grizzled.
Yet the power of the Nether Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit only grew fiercer and mightier, beating her until she vomited blood again and again.
Boom!
A fist smashed Palace Heavenly Venerable flat. She clambered up, swaying, and was smashed flat again by another fist.
Palace Heavenly Venerable rose once more, swaying, and the Nether Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit raised its fist again. Palace Heavenly Venerable's knees gave way, and she crumpled abruptly to the ground.
"I do not like speaking with you lot."
Beneath the feet of the titanic primordial spirit, the Nether Heavenly Venerable looked at her, as though he had returned to the frame of mind of that fish-blasting boy of old, and there was pride in his tone: "Because you are all very stupid."
