Chapter 1597 — The Elder Is My Brother
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Heavenly Venerable Gong was about to speak when she suddenly sensed something amiss. She hurriedly looked around, her expression shifting, and said at once, "Lu Li, why has the aura of the demonic Way at Yusuo Pass suddenly grown heavier?"
Lu Li was slightly startled, and hastily looked around. Within Yusuo Pass the aura of the Youdu Great Way grew ever thicker, and the demonic qi of Youdu had grown denser than before; even those demon-gods who had not entered the Way could now sense the Youdu Great Way suddenly turning violent!
Suddenly Shen Mu thrust his head out from the Myriad Ways Heaven Wheel and sneered, "Heavenly Venerable Gong, disaster is upon you! Having been brought here by you, I have already been detected by my elder brother Tu Bo! You are dead — you are about to die!"
Heavenly Venerable Gong was furious. "Heavenly Venerable Mu has been trapped in the Myriad Ways Heaven Wheel all along. With me here, his divine consciousness cannot be transmitted out. So who leaked the word and let Tu Bo know you are here?"
Her face took on a look of suspicion, and her gaze swept toward Lu Li.
Lu Li's blood ran cold, and he dared not speak.
Shen Mu laughed. "Heavenly Venerable Gong, look up. Tu Bo has already noticed you!"
Heavenly Venerable Gong raised her head, and her expression changed drastically. The Great Way of all Youdu was boiling; the Youdu Great Way gathered into streams, sixty-four in all, brimming with a murderous aura that surged to the heavens, all pouring into Tu Bo's towering body!
Tu Bo's enormous body was entwined with demonic qi and the demonic Way, and his body began to stir. That incomparably vast head lowered, and he was looking at the top of his own foot!
Yusuo Pass was right beneath Tu Bo's feet!
When the third eye at Tu Bo's brow opened, even Heavenly Venerable Gong could not help feeling dread, and she cried sharply, "Who leaked the word?"
Lu Li's face was ashen, and he shrieked, "Venerable One, how would I know..."
Before his voice died away, his head had burst apart. Heavenly Venerable Gong killed him with a single blow, smashing even his primordial spirit and soul to powder!
Shen Mu's face now showed some alarm as well; his heart convulsed violently, but he forced himself to calm and said, "Tu Bo is my elder brother. You cannot escape death, unless you flee into Guixu before he strikes! Heavenly Venerable Gong, surrender! Will you not release me?"
He was trapped in the Myriad Ways Heaven Wheel. This wheel was a supreme treasure refined by Heavenly Venerable Hao from the divine metals and divine materials of the Ancestral Court, divided into an inner and an outer Heavenly Court, each Heavenly Court possessing thirty-six heavenly palaces and fifty-six treasured halls.
Fearing he might escape, Heavenly Venerable Hao had laid down layer upon layer of seals. Though these were no obstacle to Shen Mu, with Heavenly Venerable Gong present, a slight suppression was enough to keep him from getting out.
Heavenly Venerable Gong gave a cold laugh. She saw the demonic fire in the vertical eye at Tu Bo's brow burning madly, brighter and brighter. Terror rose in her heart; she knew she could not withstand a single blow from Tu Bo!
Creators are born with weak souls, and because they possess the system of cultivating divine consciousness, they do not cultivate the soul and primordial spirit; thus Tu Bo was the natural bane of the Creator race.
Though Heavenly Venerable Gong had been reincarnated, and had spent these years making up for her deficiencies in soul and primordial spirit, her primordial spirit was still inferior to that of other Heavenly Venerables.
Facing an existence like Tu Bo, a single blow would likely reduce her primordial spirit to dust!
