Chapter 1557 — How Many Sins in Your Name
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Before the great hall floated a broken dao fruit, and within the dao fruit was a naked woman, watching Shen Mu as he came stumbling out of the hall like a man who had lost his soul. "Mu Tianzun?
" she called softly.
Shen Mu paid her no heed.
He sat down before the hall doors and stared blankly into nothing. The dao fruit drifted to his side, and the woman within it said, "You have seen the Master of Miluo Palace, have you not? Did the old gentleman not fill you with the feeling of gazing up at a mountain too high to climb? It was so with me. He alone could raise a divine city so resplendent, standing eternal at the end of the universe, beyond even the Great Calamity of Destruction's power to harm. You killed Tai Di's reincarnated body, and so Tai Di's burden now falls upon your shoulders.
.
. " Shen Mu rose to his feet and glanced at her.
"What burden did the Master of Miluo Palace give Tai Di? " The woman in the dao fruit was about to go on when suddenly the Long River of Chaos heaved with towering waves. A figure wreathed in surging aura trod the long river and ascended Miluo Palace.
Shen Mu looked out from afar and saw Xiao Tianzun, drenched in blood, walking toward him step by step.
His momentum soared to the heavens; behind him the thirty-six Heavenly Palaces and forty-seven Treasure Halls blazed with light like divine fire burning.
So mighty was that momentum that even Shen Mu, standing so far away, felt the pressure of it.
"Xiao Tianzun won? " Shen Mu was startled.
Thud.
Xiao Tianzun pitched forward, his face striking the ground, and lay there motionless.
Landing in such a posture, his nose would have hit first and skidded several feet.
Had he been an ordinary man, his nose would surely have been ruined, but a Tianzun is no ordinary man.
"Hao Tianzun and Xiao Tianzun fought, and it was Hao Tianzun who won! " Shen Mu was appalled. How had Hao Tianzun defeated Xiao Tianzun?
Xiao Tianzun was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Tai Chu!
Shen Mu had once joined hands with Qiang Tianfei to ambush and kill Xiao Tianzun, only to be beaten so badly by him that they had no choice but to flee in disarray. And now Xiao Tianzun had been mauled to such a state. Did that not mean Hao Tianzun's strength surpassed even Xiao Tianzun's?
And yet Hao Tianzun ought not to possess such fighting power!
Hao Tianzun might hold all the resources of the world in his grip, but Xiao Tianzun held the Primordial Wood, was a former Heavenly Emperor, and now commanded the Taichu lode as well. Since escaping the Chaotic Space, his cultivation and strength had grown unfathomably deep. Even with Tai Su to aid him, Hao Tianzun should have had almost no chance of victory.
"Are Tai Su's dao soldiers truly that formidable? Or is there something hidden behind this battle between Hao and Xiao? Still, this is an opportunity.
. . a grand opportunity to seize Xiao Tianzun and sink him in the river!
" Shen Mu cast every thought from his mind and his eyes turned vicious. "Wait!
He already has the power of a Dao-achiever; sinking him in the river may not be enough to kill him. . .
then I will simply hack him to death—" The woman in the dao fruit had meant to tell him of Tai Di's burden, only to see Shen Mu, who a moment before had looked so listless, now full of vigor, dashing toward Xiao Tianzun while drawing the Tribulation Sword! At the same time, in his Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, forty-nine heavenly dao soldiers whirled and took the form of the supreme treasure, the Heavenly Saber, which his primordial spirit behind him caught up in his hand, brimming with killing intent.
Another arm sprouted from beneath his ribs, seizing Tai Yi's cane. He stamped his foot, and the God-Slaying Platform surfaced; the two blood-fury God-Slaying Mystic Blades had not yet recovered to their peak, but their might was far from small. The woman in the dao fruit was dumbstruck, then she came to terms with it.
"This is the Young Master Mu I know. .
