Domain of the Dao of Heaven! " The forty-eight supreme treasures of the Dao of Heaven rose soaring, suddenly becoming one vault of heaven, and then another vault of heaven, vault upon vault piling upward, and in an instant they lifted up the Xuandu within Shen Mu's Primal Fetus Divine Treasury, isolating it outside!
At the same moment, Venerable Xu's two long horns twisted through nine bends and eighteen turns and grew with frenzy; the dried lava within them found its fire once more, and lava ran coursing through the horns!
"Domain of the Demonic Dao!
" Venerable Xu cried out in his quavering voice, and layer upon layer of the demonic Dao domains of Youdu swelled and spread, sinking downward, sealing off the Youdu within the Primal Fetus Divine Treasury.
Venerable Xiao struck at the same instant, taking out the Prime Wood and rousing it.
That Prime Wood too had been assailed by the Great Calamity of Destruction, withered and shriveled; yet urged on by his Taichu primordial qi it gradually gave off vitality again, so that even the Yuandu within Shen Mu's Primal Fetus Divine Treasury could hardly function, cut off from the world! The moment the three Venerables made their move, they pinned down three worlds of the utmost importance within his Primal Fetus Divine Treasury domain — masterly means, leaving his divine treasury unable to operate.
They walked on and came beneath the World Tree.
Shen Mu stood under the tree, the Calamity Sword in one hand held behind his back, the other hand forming a sword sign, calmly awaiting them.
Heavenly Consort Qiang's eyes darted every which way; caught between the nine Venerables and the two Dao Trees, she could neither advance nor retreat, and inwardly she cursed her luck.
Venerable Hao said: "Do not spread out. His domain is strange — attack him from any quarter and you face his front.
So there is no need to strike from every side to kill him.
We need only strike from one direction, overwhelming strength with strength, force with force, and we can cut him down.
" Shi Qiluo set down his chest of a hundred treasures — a battered, broken thing — and from it leaped two divine-artifact Venerables; these two were all he had left.
Even these divine-artifact Venerables had grown old now, turned into doddering, decrepit old men.
Shi Qiluo, commanding the two divine-artifact Venerables, chuckled: "Shepherd Venerable, have you any last words? " Venerable Huo had meant to make his move, but hearing this he paused and waited in silence.
Divine Emperor Langxuan raised his hand and looked at his severed forefinger; silently he roused his arcane art of creation, yet the creation runes had been assailed by the calamity of destruction, and even the arcane art of creation could not make that finger grow again.
Heavenly Consort Yan pulled out her hairpin, and saw her white hair streaming loose; she could not help heaving a plaintive sigh.
Venerable Gong raised up her long whip and her horn; Heavenly Consort Qiang shook the hilt in her hand, drew back her two divine-slaying dark blades, and made the blades whole again.
Behind Venerable Hao figures crowded and treasure light hung thick, coalescing into a great bell suspended in the air.
The two Taiji ancient gods sighed, roused the Taiji sand table behind their heads, gasped twice heavily, and stood ready to strike at any moment.
Only Venerable Hao and Venerable Xiao, aged though they were, remained composed, waiting for Shen Mu to speak his last words and then promptly see him on his way.
Shen Mu gave a scornful laugh, lifted his head to look at the pinned Xuandu, then at the Yuandu and the Youdu, and said in a low voice: "Old relics.
.
.
" Of a sudden the radiance that filled the sky was drawn in with a whoosh; the divine treasury domain, Xuandu, Youdu, and Yuandu included, came howling back and poured into his body! Heavenly Consort Qiang's face changed drastically; she raised her voice at once: "He has said his last words!
