Chapter 1560 — One Finger Comes and Goes, Shattering the Firmament
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
A dreadful surge of force blasted him, man and primordial spirit and heavenly court together, flying backward. The Ancestral God King's body shook violently; the Myriad-Worlds Heavenly Seal collapsed and shattered on the spot, and the incomparably violent impact left every limb and bone of his body in agony.
His skin burst open, his flesh evaporating into wisps and threads of chaotic qi.
Behind him the heavenly court rumbled and quaked, and was in fact shaken apart, splitting from a single whole directly into thirty-five heavenly palaces and twenty-nine treasure halls!
Behind, the Fire Tianzun reached out and caught the Ancestral God King as he flew backward, setting him down upon the Dao Tree. The Ancestral God King gave a muffled groan and raised his arms, trembling. The skin on his arms had been utterly annihilated, exposing blood and flesh and white bone, and his heart could not but fill with terror.
What terrified him was not that he had been wounded, but the power of Shen Mu's single move! For all this time, the Divine Emperor Langxuan's One Finger of Divine Origin had always been the most powerful divine power among the ten Tianzuns, one of the few great Taichu divine powers; and though the One Finger of Divine Origin was no longer the Divine Emperor Langxuan's strongest divine power, the might of that finger still left men uneasy in recollection.
Yet the power of Shen Mu's move was far above even that finger of the Divine Emperor Langxuan's!
Though it too was a single finger, though Shen Mu's cultivation was far inferior to the Divine Emperor Langxuan's, the profundity of the divine power contained in Shen Mu's finger was immeasurably deeper than such a great Taichu divine power as the One Finger of Divine Origin! On the other side, the Palace Tianzun blew his horn to swell the blood and qi of the others.
The sound of the horn suppressed Shen Mu's blood and qi, and at once Shen Mu's vitality flagged.
One after another they soared into the air; even the aged and failing Divine Emperor Langxuan now surged with blood and qi, an old man's shout coming from his mouth as he leaped toward the golden ship! Shen Mu's eyes showed a fierce light. He pointed from afar, and the Palace Tianzun's horn flew from his hand at once.
Shen Mu pointed again and again in quick succession.
The Fire Tianzun dodged in panic, the Void Tianzun bled from the corner of his mouth, the Ancestral God King tumbled and rolled out of the way; only the Divine Emperor Langxuan leaped onto the golden ship, and was immediately kicked off it by Shen Mu! The Palace Tianzun hastily released his divine consciousness and caught the Divine Emperor Langxuan, while the others landed one after another upon the Dao Tree, their hearts still pounding.
"What a formidable finger! " The Void Tianzun sighed in admiration, then suddenly said with suspicion: "But it seems this fellow has only the one finger, come and go as he pleases.
And that finger has no variation at all. .
.
" The Fire Tianzun, the Palace Tianzun, and the Ancestral God King also wore strange expressions, each turning to look at the Divine Emperor Langxuan. In his day the Divine Emperor Langxuan too had had only the one finger, come and go as he pleased, and had scraped by among the Tianzuns for many years on the strength of the One Finger of Divine Origin, until he obtained a dao fruit and only then comprehended other great Taichu divine powers.
Shen Mu's present situation was rather similar to the Divine Emperor Langxuan's of those years.
The Divine Emperor Langxuan, kicked in the face by Shen Mu, had not a tooth left in his mouth, and panted: "If this is the only move he knows, then we need not fear him in the slightest.
