Chapter 1650 — The Fall of the Underworld's Heavenly Son
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
He reincarnated again and again within the gate. In mere instants he reincarnated more times than could be counted. The East Emperor Azure Dragon could only see the Yin Heavenly Son within the gate constantly changing form, changing gender, changing race.
After each transformation, the impression given was of a completely different person, with no trace of his former traits to be found.
Such divine arts were truly inconceivable!
Yet the terror on the Yin Heavenly Son's face only deepened—he grew more and more panicked.
His creation of the Great Dao of Reincarnation had evolved from the Great Dao of Youdu. The Great Dao of Youdu contained no reincarnation. For this alone, the Yin Heavenly Son could be called astonishingly talented and brilliant—to be called a Heavenly Son was no exaggeration.
Yet at the same time, limited by his own talent and wisdom, though he had created the Great Dao of Reincarnation he could not perfect it; instead, it had been carried forward and made glorious in Shen Mu's hands.
His Dao of Reincarnation could not fully isolate the Fire Heavenly Venerable's Dao fire.
He also had unique attainments in the Dao of Tianyin—the Nether Sea had been refined with the aid of the Dao of Tianyin. The Nether Sea was an ocean formed purely of soul black sand.
The darkness of the Wasteland Ruins in those years had been an anomaly formed when he activated the Nether Sea; combined with the Tianyin Breach, it had given rise to the terrifying legend that when the sky darkens, do not go out.
Yet now the Nether Sea was evaporating in vast swathes, drawn into the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital to serve as fuel for each of his reincarnations.
After reincarnating, his soul was different—the alteration of his soul drew upon the soul black sand of the Nether Sea.
Suddenly, firelight blazed within the Nether Sea—that was Dao fire.
The Dao fire burned out from the Heavenly Gate of Reincarnation, spreading swiftly across the entire sky above the Nether Sea. The whole Nether Sea was set ablaze!
Dao fire also appeared upon the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital, setting the gate alight!
Within the gate, the Yin Heavenly Son screamed in alarm.
The Fire Heavenly Venerable stood with hands clasped behind his back, watching him coldly. Behind his head, the heavens twisted into a wheel, slowly turning.
The East Emperor Azure Dragon watched this scene in shock—the newly elevated Heavenly Venerable, the Yin Heavenly Son, could not withstand even a single move before the Fire Heavenly Venerable!
The Fire Heavenly Venerable had not even made a move, had not used any divine art. He had merely let the Dao fire upon his own soul burn back when the Yin Heavenly Son used his shamanic divine art to bow to him—and the Yin Heavenly Son could not endure it!
So powerful was his Dao fire that it could burn even soul black sand to utter nothingness!
"His soul has no weakness!"
A terrible thought suddenly arose in the East Emperor Azure Dragon's mind: "Does Hao Heavenly Venerable know that the Fire Heavenly Venerable's soul is this strong? If he knows, then the purpose for which he sent us here is…"
He felt a chill run through him.
Aboard the Ferry-to-Salvation Golden Ship, Shen Mu's eyes flickered. He said softly, "The foremost sacred fire under heaven—its reputation is well deserved. Even if I were to activate the arts of reincarnation, I might not be able to evade it. The Fire Heavenly Venerable's Dao fire has already approached chaos—it carries a hint of the wind of heat-death."
"I am deathless! I am the Lord of Youdu, the newly elevated Earth Lord! No one in this world can kill me!"
The Yin Heavenly Son roared. The burning Nether Sea and the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital suddenly descended, crashing with a thunderous boom into Youdu!
