The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The substance in the Celestial River had not changed, but the substance of the outside world was changing. "Such a majestic body!
If I could cut it down and use it to nourish the God-Slaying Platform and the God-Slaying Mystic Sabers, then these two divine sabers could slay even a Dao-attainer! " Shen Mu paid no attention to the outside world, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.
He charged to the God-Slaying Platform and, using the Taiyi cane as a sword, met the divine spear the Great Emperor thrust at him!
In the instant the divine spear and the cane collided, blood spurted from Shen Mu's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose; his body crackled and popped; sinew and bone snapped inch by inch! At the same moment, the Calamity Sword suddenly leaped out of the Celestial River and stabbed into the sole of that half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit which hung exposed.
This sword held myriad upon myriad of transformations of technique.
It attacked upward from the toes of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit, and the dense ranks of blade-light passed in a single blink from the toes to the sole, from the sole to the ankle, from the ankle to the hollow of the knee, from the hollow of the knee to the thigh! Everywhere the blade-light passed, the Great Emperor's primordial spirit disintegrated! Shua— The blade-light pierced through the breast and belly of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit, running from the throat straight to the brain.
With a pop, the Calamity Sword burst out from the crown of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit and rose to the heights of the Celestial River, where every kind of sword technique was still being scattered in wild profusion, forming a gorgeous canopy of the Dao of the Sword! Half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit was utterly dissolved, shattered by that one Calamity-Breaking stroke!
At the same time, Shen Mu, hurtling backward, struck out with a palm, undoing the Unchanging divine ability upon the Heavenly Emperor's body. His teaching rod flew forth—pa!
—and knocked the other half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit out of the body! Boom!
He crashed into the blinding yellow sand. Dust flew up in all directions, staining out a blood-red trail—the blood of Shen Mu's own body.
In the very instant he knocked out the other half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit, a figure struck, appearing abruptly behind the half-spirit. It seized the Great Emperor's primordial spirit with one hand, opened its mouth wide, and forcibly swallowed that half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit into its belly. This person was none other than Heavenly Lord Xiao!
Heavenly Lord Xiao had just swallowed half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit when, in the next moment, a peachwood hairpin pressed against his brow.
"Fixed for eternity, sealed fast," Lord Ling said softly.
Heavenly Lord Xiao's expression changed drastically.
This time, Shen Mu had not been holding Lord Ling's hand. Lord Ling had been on the God-Slaying Platform all along, standing beside the Heavenly Emperor's body, waiting for this chance to ambush him and the Great Emperor.
Now, Heavenly Lord Xiao and half of the Great Emperor's primordial spirit had merged into one, and together they had transformed into Unchanging matter.
