Chapter 1589 — The End of the Road
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Golden Ship of Salvation rocked violently, and from beneath it came the Great Emperor's roars. Incredibly, the ship was lifted up by him again. Shen Mu frowned and roused the Taiyi Staff, wielding it as a sword, thrusting at the Great Emperor beneath the ship.
His target was clear: the head of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body!
There, the crown of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body had been blown open in a great hole!
The attacks of the group landed on the Great Emperor almost simultaneously, and they could plainly feel his weakness; even the toughness of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body was far inferior to what it had been.
Pfft!
The Taiyi Staff drove straight into the brow of the Heavenly Emperor's fleshly body, leaving only its handle protruding. Kaihuang's sword pierced the Great Emperor's eyes, and Xiao Tianzun's Imperial Sword sank into the Great Emperor's temple, entering from the left side with its tip emerging from the right.
Hao Tianzun's Myriad Dao Heaven Wheel slashed into the Great Emperor's throat, cutting deep into it!
The Goddess Taisu's Grand Bell clanged on without cease, yet achieved little; her cultivation and strength still could not match Shen Mu and the others.
Yet still the Golden Ship of Salvation was lifted by the Great Emperor. That fleshly body exerted its strength and hurled the golden ship away!
Shen Mu roused the golden ship and came charging back, and from afar he saw the Great Emperor raise a hand and strike a heavy blow at his right temple. Xiao Tianzun's Imperial Sword shot out from the temple; though that Imperial Sword was an imitation, its power was extraordinary—it was, after all, a supreme treasure of a Tianzun—and yet a single palm strike bent it, nearly snapping it in two!
The Great Emperor's head suddenly dropped, crushing Hao Tianzun's Myriad Dao Heaven Wheel outright; then his blinded eyes began healing at astonishing speed!
Those at the ship's bow watched with eyes splitting in fury. Hao Tianzun blurted out, "The Creation Mystic Art! Has he learned it too?"
Shen Mu's heart stirred. "The Creation Mystic Art? If the Great Emperor has learned the Creation Mystic Art, then this must be the Jingping Era! In the Jingping Era, the Creation Mystic Art was spread by me, and learned by Qiang Tianfei! Ling Tianzun's divine art has already carried us to Jingping! Then Ling Tianzun himself must be near as well!"
The Great Emperor pulled the Taiyi Staff from his brow and bent it with all his strength, trying to snap it in two; but the staff was exceedingly hard, and he could not break it, so he gripped it in his hand.
Xiao Tianzun looked at Shen Mu with hope written across his face and urged him on: "Mu Tianzun, what divine art was that just now? It could even pierce through my fleshly body—truly remarkable! Give him another one!"
Shen Mu's face went dark.
