Chapter 1574 — Only After the Calamity Is There Life to Spare
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
"No wonder Lord Mu and Kaihuang are both surnamed Shen, both wielders of the sword. Every stroke is aimed at our flaws. That is why our sword wounds are identical."
Terror filled his heart. "Still, Lord Mu had to fight a whole battle before he could bring down the aged us. But that wretch Kaihuang has gravely wounded us without even trading a face-to-face blow. That wretch..."
A dreadful thought rose in his mind. "Could he have already attained the dao? Why is that wretch the Ancestral God King running faster than me? Of course. So long as he runs faster than me, he can escape with his life. Damn it..."
"Congratulations, Daoist friend Kaihuang. You have attained the dao."
Langxuan heard the voices of the Taiji ancient gods, tinged with delight, laughing: "Attaining the dao through the sword. Today Kaihuang may be called the first man under heaven, how enviable beyond words."
Suddenly the sword light grew incomparably brilliant, and then came a clanging burst of blows, ding, ding, ding, as the Taiji Sand Table expanded violently and became the Taiji Star Region; the star region spread out and overtook the fleeing Divine Emperor Langxuan.
The Taiji Star Region was about to swallow the Divine Emperor Langxuan when this companion supreme treasure suddenly split apart, and each of the two Taiji ancient gods gave a stifled groan, groans that came from behind the Divine Emperor Langxuan.
The hairs on the Divine Emperor Langxuan stood on end as he saw the two Taiji ancient gods, drenched in blood, every serpent scale on their bodies split open by a single sword, rushing from behind him to his front.
Only then did the Divine Emperor Langxuan realize that the two ancient gods' companion supreme treasure, the Taiji Sand Table, had been split in two, half behind each of the two ancients' heads. Kaihuang had cleaved this supreme treasure in two with a single sword.
The dread in the Divine Emperor Langxuan's heart knew no bounds. Kaihuang, having attained the dao, was truly too terrifying; in sheer strength alone he likely surpassed even Lord Hao and Lord Xiao.
"And yet these two ancient gods are faster than me as well."
All hope died in the Divine Emperor Langxuan's heart, and he cried out inwardly: "Was that dao fruit not going to seize my flesh? Why did it quiet down after resisting only once? Hurry, come on."
He strove to accelerate and catch the Heavenly Lords ahead, while behind him the sword light in Kaihuang's hand dispersed; he walked out from Carefree Land and headed toward the Yuan Realm, unhurried.
Behind Kaihuang, the thirty-three heavens of Carefree Land separated one by one, the continents of the many heavens spreading out in a line, and countless gods and demons charged out, killing their way toward the Heavenly Court's great army of gods and demons.
"Back to the Yuan Realm."
Countless of Kaihuang's officers and soldiers roared, their voices shaking the heavens: "Kill our way back to the Yuan Realm, kill our way back to our homeland."
The Heavenly Court's army guarding this place had already been routed. Yin Tianzi, Shang Pingyin and the others held the army together, refusing to let it scatter, fighting with all their strength.
"It is time to go to the Yong River."
Kaihuang's gaze turned toward the Yuan Realm, and just then the voice of the God King Langwo came: "Shen Ye, are you truly going to abandon the Other Shore Void and enter the Yuan Realm?"
Kaihuang turned his head and saw the God King Langwo standing in the distance, saluting him from afar.
Kaihuang returned the salute and said: "The Void Bridge can no longer hold back the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Lords. There is no longer any need for the Other Shore Void to exist. God King, your race of Creators should also consider your future and enter the world of your own accord to meet the calamity; only after the calamity is there life to spare."
"Life after the calamity?"
