Chapter 1589 — The End of the Road
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Xiao Tianzun roared again and again. Behind him the Great Heavenly Court formed of thirty-six Heavenly Palaces thundered with the sound of the Dao, its Dao light quaking, and in a single instant his vital essence surged to its absolute limit, dyeing the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain red!
The terrifying surge of power split his fleshly body open, blood streaming; at this moment the might of the Heavenly Court had already exceeded the limits of his body!
If he kept raising it further, this body of his would surely be crushed; after this battle, he would likely have to abandon his fleshly body altogether!
Even so, he madly raised his power, reckless of everything!
His speed quickened at once, yet against the assault of the Great Emperor's finger his reactions were still too slow!
Despair filled Xiao Tianzun's heart. Facing this strike from the Great Emperor, he had no possibility of survival left!
Just then, a massive golden ship came crashing into the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. At its bow Shen Mu roused the Art of Immutability, and the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain was instantly reversed: the Great Emperor's finger slowed to an unbearable crawl, while the pressure on Xiao Tianzun abruptly lifted!
Startled and overjoyed, he struck with all his strength and drove the Great Emperor's finger back; the Great Emperor's palm too was shaken high into the air!
At the same time, the Golden Ship of Salvation passed through the frozen Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain. In a single instant the giant vessel became immeasurably vast, and with a thunderous crash it struck the Great Emperor, grinding across his face and bearing him down beneath its hull, dragging him for dozens of li!
The entire Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, together with the Dao Tree and the Dao Fruit, was knocked sideways, shifted dozens of li through the Ultimate Void!
"Xiao Tianzun, come into my domain!"
Shen Mu bellowed, and his Divine Treasury Domain unfurled, overlapping with the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain.
Xiao Tianzun leapt into the air and landed within his domain. At once he seemed to have a thousand faces and a thousand eyes, able to see before and behind, in every direction, and he could not help marveling inwardly.
Shen Mu had once joined hands with Yue Tianzun and You Tianzun against him; at that time the two Tianzuns had stood within Shen Mu's domain and grown vastly stronger.
Xiao Tianzun had always been curious about Shen Mu's domain. This was the first time he had observed his surroundings from such a vantage, and his heart went cold: "Mu Tianzun's domain is in no way inferior to the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain—in its subtle wonders it may even surpass it! This one cannot be allowed to live—"
The two were fighting shoulder to shoulder for the first time. They exchanged a glance, then each turned his head away, both finding the other's appearance loathsome beyond words.
"Mu Tianzun, you truly have a death wish!"
The golden ship abruptly halted. With a thunderous roar the Great Emperor lifted it, hoisting it onto his shoulder, and freed a hand to block Kaihuang's sword light and Hao Tianzun's Myriad Dao Heaven Wheel—overwhelmingly powerful!
His Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain swelled once more. He sneered, "Even Ling Tianzun I do not fear in the slightest! My qi of Taichu has no fear of the Art of Immutability!"
Boom!
A surge of Taichu qi filled the entire Divine Treasury Domain in an instant. Shen Mu's body convulsed violently, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he sensed at once that his Art of Immutability had been broken; the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain came sweeping in again!
The consciousness domain collided with his Divine Treasury Domain. As the two different domains met, Shen Mu immediately felt his Divine Treasury Domain come under total suppression!
