I can sense the fury ignited within his heart of Dao. Had you not come running over just now, he would most likely have raised his fist and squared off with me, and given me a thorough beating.
" Duke of Heaven laughed: "How would he dare? " Achou, Earl of Earth, said nothing. Duke of Heaven asked curiously: "How did he evade the perception of the Great Dao of the Nether Capital?
" Achou, Earl of Earth, shook his head: "I do not know.
But I sensed within his body a strange Great Dao.
This Great Dao allows him to deeply conceal the karma brought about by resurrecting the dead.
I can detect this, and yet the Great Dao of the Nether Capital cannot. " Duke of Heaven laughed: "Your realm has grown deeper still. I did not see that Great Dao. Tell me, my friend, do you think Xu Tianzun will still acknowledge you as Achou?
" Achou, Earl of Earth, was silent for a moment, and on his incomparably hideous face there appeared a trace of a smile: "She will acknowledge me. The very purpose of her becoming one of the ten Tianzun was to kill Earl of Earth and free her father, Achou, was it not?
" Duke of Heaven frowned slightly, a trace of worry in his heart. He looked up.
The Nether Capital was now a scene of grim desolation; many Nether Capital demons and monsters had already slipped away while You Tianzun was absent, intending to flee to the mortal realm to hide from the coming disaster.
Shen Mu walked out of the Nether Capital and came to the place where the Heavenly River and the Nether River met. It was here that the Heavenly River entered the Nether Capital and became the Nether River, and it was from here that countless Nether Capital demons and demonfolk had smuggled themselves into the world of the living.
When he reached this place, he saw that in the surging waters countless monsters swam and slipped along beneath the surface, until even the Heavenly River had been dyed ink-black! The Nether Capital was not like Xuandu: the people of Xuandu deeply loved Duke of Heaven, and so when the calamity of Xuandu descended, few of them fled; instead they fought to the death against the Heavenly Court. But the monsters and demonfolk of the Nether Capital were born of the various negative emotions of Heaven and Earth, and the demon gods of the Nether Capital cultivated the demonic path as well; faced with the calamity of the Nether Capital, their first thought was to flee for their lives.
"Mu Tianzun! " someone suddenly called out, stopping him.
Shen Mu looked toward the sound and saw Xu Tianzun standing upon the surface of the Heavenly River, the murky water beneath her feet, countless monsters swarming toward her, surging up behind her, growing more and more numerous, forming a demon army that blotted out the sky and the sun. Shen Mu halted, his gaze falling upon Xu Tianzun's face.
He said indifferently: "What instruction does Xu Tianzun have for me? " "I would not presume to give instruction.
By seniority, I should address you as Uncle.
" Xu Tianzun bowed slightly and said: "Gong Tianzun escorted Uncle to Guixu, preparing to use Uncle to fill the sea eye. Yet she has not returned for so long, while Mu Tianzun has come back alive. Could it be that Gong Tianzun has already met with misfortune?
" Shen Mu said with a half-smile: "You have planted so many eyes and ears in Jingping.
Do you really not know whether Gong Tianzun is dead or not?
" Xu Tianzun said: "Gong Tianzun has indeed met with misfortune. Someone saw her scatter into flying ash in the Primordial Realm, and Uncle's mount went to kill Gong Tianzun's reincarnated body; someone found the corpse of Gong Tianzun's reincarnation washed up on the shore. I imagine that in the future, if I die, Uncle will likewise send men to kill my reincarnated body in Jingping, without the slightest mercy.
