The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Shen Mu stood at the bow, his excitement beyond words. The golden ship was still repairing itself, its broken bricks and shattered tiles floating in the air and reassembling of their own accord; the collapsed halls seemed to flow backward through time, fallen pillars rising upright, palace walls piling up anew, and swiftly the ruin added brick upon tile until it was restored as good as new. The ship was like a giant beast waking from slumber, possessed of its own wisdom, its own thoughts, long feeling that its talents went unused, and now at last was the hour for it to display its full ability.
It drove into the Long River of Chaos, cleaving wind and wave like a colossal beast, pressing the chaos apart on every side. "This ship is good in every way, except that it seems slow to get going.

" Shen Mu was somewhat anxious. The Golden Ship of Deliverance was still unhurriedly picking up speed, and as it accelerated it perfected itself; yet the ship's present speed was no match for a Tianzun's.
He flew swiftly to the stern and looked toward the shore, and saw that even the slowest of them, the Divine Emperor Langxuan, had by now reached the bank, while the Fire Tianzun and the others had raced back to their original spot, hoisted the Dao Tree onto their shoulders, set it down in the Long River of Chaos, and come chasing after the golden ship. All the while, the golden ship was still unhurriedly picking up speed. The Dao Tree drew nearer and nearer to the golden ship.
The five Tianzuns stood upon it, and the Palace Tianzun stepped forward first, his divine consciousness erupting as he hurled it at Shen Mu aboard the ship!
Shen Mu's divine consciousness erupted, transforming into the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness to withstand the Palace Tianzun's assault. The two men's consciousnesses shifted through a thousand transformations, attack and defense each with its own method; and though the Palace Tianzun's consciousness was far more powerful than Shen Mu's, for a time he could not break through the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness that Shen Mu had learned from the Great Emperor.
But the Dao Tree drew ever closer to the Golden Ship of Deliverance, and before long they would be able to board it. "Tianzun Mu, aren't you rather formidable? " Suddenly the Ancestral God King soared into the air and leaped toward the golden ship.
Behind him layer upon layer of heavenly palaces formed a great heavenly court whose divine light pierced the heavens; his primordial spirit was seated within that great heavenly court, his body vast, and at his first move came a surging tide of heavenly might!
His primordial spirit's great hand crashed down and shattered Shen Mu's Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, and he pressed in toward Shen Mu on the golden ship, laughing: "Did you not, by your own strength alone, hold off seven Tianzuns?
The tiger fallen to the flatlands is bullied by dogs. You took advantage of our growing old to humiliate us — did you ever think this day would come?
" Shen Mu smiled faintly and pointed one finger. The Ancestral God King's face changed drastically, for in that instant he felt the power of that finger to be unmatched, and in his haste he hurried to block it! "Myriad-Worlds Heavenly Seal!
" Though he had employed the divine power in haste to defend himself, the Dao of Heaven was vast and boundless, and in an instant there formed before him a great seal wrought of the resonant trembling of the heavenly Dao of myriad worlds, gathered and converged into one! This divine power was the proud work of his entry into the Dao after he became the Lord of Heaven, and could be called his strongest defense!
Boom!
