Chapter 1632 — Seeing Through All Things Clearly
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
At the same time, deep in Youdu, amid boundless darkness, firelight suddenly blazed. Roaring demon fire spread swiftly, illuminating a Divine Artifact Yutianzun whose whole body was pitch-black.
That Divine Artifact Yutianzun had flames blazing on its brow, transforming into two long horns. It rose into the air and pressed down toward the golden ship!
By now, Tubo's body had collapsed up to the brow. From the ruined brow-hall, a Divine Artifact Yutianzun suddenly shot skyward, flying out through the gaps between Xu Tianzun's primordial spirit fingers toward the heavens beyond!
"Xiao Tianzun's Divine Artifact Yutianzun!"
Xu Tianzun was startled, then recognized the Divine Artifact Yutianzun—it was indeed Xiao Tianzun's. Back when Xiao Tianzun was exiled by Yue Tianzun, the Divine Artifact Yutianzun had been battered and broken, taken away by You Tianzun.
That divine artifact had originally been unusable, but Shen Mu made a deal with Lady Yuanmu, having her repair it.
"Damn—this divine artifact was taken by You Tianzun to use against the Ancestral God King! You Tianzun's body is weak, but the divine artifact's body is strong. This artifact is enough to make up for his weakness, giving his strongest primordial spirit a place to exert itself!"
Though Xu Tianzun guessed the purpose for which You Tianzun had taken the artifact, she had no intention of going to support the Ancestral God King, thinking: "Tubo's body is what matters!"
Her primordial spirit grabbed toward Tubo's head. The instant she touched it, Tubo's head suddenly collapsed, fragments the size of whole heavens and worlds peeling away.
Xu Tianzun was stunned, disbelief on her face.
Tubo's body was actually an empty shell!
She looked downward, and saw that the immeasurably vast body of Tubo was hollow within—nothing but an outer shell!
"Where has Tubo's flesh and blood gone?"
She nearly went mad—then saw that within Tubo's body countless karmic fires blazed, converging into a massive karmic-fire golden sphere. Within the karmic fire, a figure burned.
She paused slightly, looking at the man in the karmic fire—it was Achou Tubo.
Her gaze shifted away, falling at Tubo's feet. There lay the Jade Lock Pass.
The Achou in the Jade Lock Pass and the Achou within Tubo's body were the same person—only great dharma power had twisted the space of Youdu, making it appear there were two Achous.
On the other side, Shen Mu had already arrived beneath Tubo's feet and stepped into the Jade Lock Pass.
Within the Jade Lock Pass, Langxuan Divine Emperor sat upon a karmic-fire merit stele, both hands braced beneath his buttocks, swinging his two legs, watching with easy contentment as Shen Mu walked into the pass.
"Mu Tianzun, have you come seeking Achou Tubo, or seeking the reincarnation of Tiangong?"
Langxuan Divine Emperor smiled faintly and said leisurely: "You have come too late. My brother Hao Tianzun long ago calculated that you would come here, and long ago calculated Tubo's scheme—and Tiangong's scheme. He knows everything about you, down to the last detail!"
