Chapter 1585 — Forty Thousand Years of Solitude
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
As for his magic power, his realm was even above Kaihuang's. Having cultivated a Dao Fruit, his magic power was absolutely unmatched!
He could fully unleash the power of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body to its utmost, even more thoroughly than Xiao Tianzun himself could!
"Obtaining this body was never my goal."
Taidi swept his gaze around and smiled. "My goal is also the Dao of Taichu. To truly cultivate the Dao of Taichu, besides absorbing the divine consciousness of all the Creators, one must also control Taichu's fleshly body—even devour Taichu! In the past, the ten Tianzuns checked one another, and it was hard for me to get a chance to control Taichu's fleshly body alone, much less devour Taichu. Because Taichu had already reincarnated, and I did not know who he was. So I needed Taichu to deliver himself to my door. And what could be more convenient than Taichu coming to my door of his own accord, for me to devour?"
He laughed heartily. "Besides devouring Taichu, I also need to deal with a batch of opponents who threaten me. You have come to my door of your own accord, which saves me the trouble of seeking each of you out."
With his back against the Dao Tree, he stirred his body, and the Great Luotian and the Dao Tree moved with him. The next moment he stood before Xiao Tianzun and simply threw a punch!
Xiao Tianzun let out a long cry, and the heavenly palace and treasure halls behind him burst forth with brilliant light. In an instant he raised his cultivation and strength to their utmost!
Not only that, his comprehension of the Dao of Taichu also broke through at this moment, and in one breath he comprehended the twenty-eighth heaven of the Dao of Taichu!
He was not like the Divine Emperor of Langxuan, who had relied on another's Dao Fruit to comprehend the profound realms of the Dao of Taichu, nor like Hao Tianzun, whose cultivation was too mixed.
His twenty-eighth heaven was the pure twenty-eighth heaven of the Dao of Taichu!
Know that if he could comprehend the thirty-sixth heaven of the Dao of Taichu, he would need neither the Taichu Origin Stone nor the Taichu Divine Stone, nor to devour and absorb the divine consciousness of the Creators; by Dao realm alone he could attain the Dao.
It was precisely because entering the Dao of Taichu was so difficult, so exceedingly hard, that he had conceived the idea of devouring the Creators—of devouring Taidi.
Yet even so, the twenty-eighth heaven of the Dao of Taichu was an unimaginable achievement!
Had Taidi not applied this pressure, he could never have raised his Dao realm by another heaven in such a short time.
Boom!
Xiao Tianzun spat blood, his bones broken and tendons snapped, and he was sent tumbling and rolling backward.
However fearsome and mighty his great divine power of entering the Dao of Taichu might be, it could not withstand the might of a single punch from Taidi!
Taidi stepped forward again and pressed his great hand downward. Xiao Tianzun was forcibly sucked back and fell into his palm.
Taidi seized Xiao Tianzun by the head and lifted him up.
On the other side, a streak of sword light came racing over, stabbing toward the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body—it was Kaihuang making his move to rescue Xiao Tianzun.
Previously they had been mortal enemies who would not rest until one was dead, each longing to be rid of the other. But Taidi was simply too strong, and they had no choice but to join hands against him. If Xiao Tianzun were beaten to death or devoured by Taidi, then none of them would leave alive!
Taidi raised his other hand and blocked with two fingers before his eyes. Kaihuang's sword light struck his two fingers with two ringing clangs, and at once the fingers split open, shedding two drops of blood.
"Not bad."
