Chapter 1632 — Seeing Through All Things Clearly
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The two Taiji Ancient Gods were both exasperated and amused, thinking: "As if anyone would steal them from you!"
They pressed in to kill, when suddenly Taishi Ancient God rolled in a circle and charged at them. Both struck at once—one pure yin divine power, one pure yang divine power—sealing him off from left and right to block the fat man.
Yet Taishi passed straight through their divine powers. How terrifying was the might of their divine powers? And yet it was as though they had not touched him at all.
Bang! Bang!
Taiyin Niangniang took a punch to the left cheek; the Sun Ancient God took a punch to the right. Both were shocked and furious—then they saw Taishi's hands, one to each side, forming a pulling force that drew the two of them together. The divine power he used was precisely one he had comprehended from the way of Taiji!
"Using our own arts against us?"
The two Ancient Gods were enraged: "You have learned only the barest surface, yet you dare flaunt your prowess before us—you underestimate us too much!"
Suddenly Taishi changed his move. Yin-yang Taiji transformed into the way of Taishu, catching the two Ancient Gods off guard.
They saw him clasp his hands together, and chaos qi spread everywhere, wrapping around the two Ancient Gods and forming a massive flower bud.
Taishu suddenly opens the chaos bud!
This was Shen Mu's divine power—and yet the fat man executed it without the slightest impediment, as though he had practiced it a thousand times.
The two Ancient Gods shouted and activated the Taiji Sand Table, blasting the chaos apart—then saw the round, plump youth bow and push toward them.
One qi of primordial chaos, the dao travels together!
Also Shen Mu's divine power!
Boom!
The Sun and Taiyin both spat blood and were sent flying backward. The two Ancient Gods nearly separated, and knowing things had gone badly, hurriedly intertwined their tails mid-flight to keep from being forced apart.
If they were separated, Taishi would pick them off one by one.
They finally steadied themselves, and saw Taishi rolling forward at great speed, shouting and hollering: "You think all these years inside the egg I only ate primordial fluid? Truth be told, none of Mu Tianzun's divine powers escape my perception! Whatever arts he has, I learn what I can and ignore what I cannot! He went and gnawed on Kaihuang, gnawed on Yue Tianzun, gnawed on Langwan, gnawed on Xu Tianzun—I only need to cling to him and gnaw, and I'll have whatever I want!"
Behind him the half-life mirror hung high, its light shining forth, so that none of the two's divine powers could strike Taishi's true body—they passed straight through him.
The two Ancient Gods were bound hand and foot, retreating even as they fought, gnashing their teeth in fury at Taishi's way of battle, yet utterly helpless.
Taishi rolled back and forth around them, raging: "I meant to keep gnawing on him until I attained the dao—so that the moment I emerged I'd be a master who had attained the dao! And you two ruined it! Now that I've emerged, how can I go back into his divine treasury to gnaw on him? I can't bring myself to face that shame!"
"Deal with his companion treasure first!"
Taiyin Niangniang immediately saw the crux and shouted: "It is that mirror of his! So long as its light shines on him, he cannot be attacked! We must first take his treasure before we can strike his true body!"
The two at once joined forces to activate the Taiji Sand Table. Their bodies spun within the sand table, merging into a single figure—a bull-headed, human-bodied Tubo—three eyes spewing dense, pitch-black Youdu demon fire, one fist smashing toward that bronze-colored mirror.
Taishi had only just emerged and did not himself know what use his mirror had. He simply raised it and activated its power. Now, seeing the Taiji Ancient Gods transform into Tubo and attack, he grew flustered.
