Chapter 1550 — Beauty Has Grown Old
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Shen Mu scanned carefully, leaving no corner unexamined, and so the boat moved slower and slower. He saw countless living beings striving to cross within that catastrophe, unable to contend with the great kalpa of destruction, dying one after another and turning to nothingness. He also saw certain powerful beings trying to escape the great kalpa, trying to break through chaos and, by means of the World Tree or Jade Capital, go straight to the far shore and reach a new universe.
Yet after searching for so long, Shen Mu still had not found any trace of Taiyi.
"Could Taiyi have changed into another form again?
" Shen Mu frowned and thought, "Perhaps I should first reach the far shore, find the spot where Taiyi fell into the river, locate his true body, and see whether he changed into something else.
. .
" Just then, an incomparably aged voice came over: "Qiang Tianfei, are you still sharing a boat with Mu Tianzun? " Shen Mu withdrew his gaze and looked toward the voice.
He saw a Dao Tree drifting over, ragged, withered, and ruined by the kalpa of destruction.
On the Dao Tree stood five Heavenly Venerables, their original forms no longer discernible.
The speaker was probably the Ancestral God King, white-haired and hunched, looking older than the Heavenly Duke by an incalculable margin. He grinned, and in his mouth were only three teeth left: two above and one below.
Leaning on his supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, the Ancestral God King stared at Qiang Tianfei and chuckled.
"You have grown old, your beauty faded, and Mu Tianzun is one who loves the new and tires of the old. Do you think you can grow old together with him? The moment this wretch gets a chance, he will sink you into the river and find someone younger!
" Qiang Tianfei spat at him, but a tooth flew out with the spittle. Trembling, she said, "As long as you are following behind, Mu Tianzun will not move against me, because he still needs my strength to fight scum like you! " Another old woman, probably Gong Tianzun, burst out with a laugh, spraying out half of her remaining two teeth.
She said with a smile, "Great Emperor, you are still so stubborn, so self-willed. Only by joining hands with us and taking refuge with Hao Tianzun can you be preserved! If we five Heavenly Venerables join forces, remove Mu Tianzun, and take his tree, we can regain our youth! "
