Chapter 1552 — You All Still Have a Long Way to Go
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Kill him, quick! " The whole divine treasury domain poured into Shen Mu's body like a whale swallowing the long rainbow, and in an instant the ancient gods beyond counting within the treasury seated themselves in the apertures of Shen Mu's fleshly body!
Heavenly Consort Qiang went pale; without another word she was the first to rouse her two divine-slaying dark blades and attack Shen Mu, crying harshly: "You fools, you must not let his body merge with his domain!
" The other Venerables and ancient gods felt their hearts skip; they saw the Primal Fetus Divine Treasury domain absorbed entirely by Shen Mu in a single breath, fused with his flesh, and the Ancestral Court vanished away, and even the heavenly court formed of the heavenly palaces floating about him disappeared into Shen Mu's brows!
The only thing he had not taken into his body was the World Tree!
Shen Mu's right hand drew from behind his back, and a point of cold light went to meet Heavenly Consort Qiang's two divine-slaying dark blades; her arms shook violently, and she could not control the two blades.
The twin blades, like dragons, flew from her hands!
The next moment, Shen Mu's sword light was before her eyes! Heavenly Consort Qiang retreated at speed; at the same time Venerable Huo roused his Dao fire and came charging in, and on the other side Shi Qiluo drove the two divine-artifact Venerables to meet Shen Mu's sword light! Old as the divine-artifact Venerables were, their bodies decaying, their strength was still nothing to scoff at: one wielded Venerable Hao's arts, the other Venerable Xiao's, and though Shi Qiluo's cultivation was such that they could not be brought to their full power, their fighting strength was still formidable!
Yet the next moment, Shen Mu's sword light pierced through the twenty-eight heavens of Venerable Huo's Dao fire and came before Venerable Huo's eyes.
Venerable Huo's face changed sharply; he flashed backward, and that sword light suddenly turned to purple qi, split into two, and went to meet the two divine-artifact Venerables!
In an instant purple blossoms danced through the sky, like a sea of flowers.
Guest Among the Purple Blossoms!
The two divine-artifact Venerables bellowed like thunder and charged through the purple blossoms, breaking the move apart with supreme divine strength — but blossom after purple blossom had pierced them, and the qi and blood within them swiftly ebbed. More and more purple blossoms came, stealing more and more of their vital essence, so that the two divine-artifact Venerables moved with ever greater difficulty!
Shi Qiluo, hidden behind the two, saw those purple blossoms beget two, and two beget four, without end, and his heart filled with dread.
Just then Divine Emperor Langxuan roused his dao fruit and came slashing in from the side; with one Taichu divine art he shattered countless purple blossoms into fragments, and numberless blossoms became innate qi!
Divine Emperor Langxuan gave a cold laugh and thrust both hands forward heavily — and at the same moment Shen Mu reversed his grip on the sword hilt and bowed forward!
Boom!
The two bodies shook violently.
Divine Emperor Langxuan clenched his teeth and roused every scrap of his mana; suddenly came two cracks, and the few teeth left in his mouth snapped from his biting.
Divine Emperor Langxuan gave a stifled grunt, feeling that the qi and blood in his body were not what they had been; Shen Mu's mana rolled over him, endless and unbroken, and he could only stumble back.
In the instant he fell back, Shi Qiluo came killing in, past the two divine-artifact Venerables, and with a wave of his hand a Great Abyss appeared, descending to cover Shen Mu!
That abyss was like a maw that swallowed heaven; with a gulp it swallowed Shen Mu whole!
"Sister!
" came Shi Qiluo's rough, aged voice.
Heavenly Consort Yan flew across, and the hairpin in her hand became a streak of sword light that stabbed fiercely into the abyss.
