Chapter 1662 — The Talkative Giant Dragon Shall Not Be Enslaved
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Seeing the herd of oxen charging toward them, with the fierce and malevolent great red kun pursuing behind, they hastily flapped their wings and fled in panic. Just at that moment, the opening of heaven and earth ended, and everything fell silent.
The great red kun, the herd of oxen, and the flock of chickens each stopped and looked back, and saw floating all around them Xuandu, Youdu, the Ancestral Court, all the heavens and myriad worlds, and a sky full of ancient gods and deities, only shrunk countless times over. A chicken pecked at a glowing sun, swallowed it with its head tilted back, and not long after swallowing this sun, it laid an egg with a pop. "Cluck-cluck-cluck," it cried in delight.
Suddenly, the newly opened universe violently contracted. The great red kun, the herd of oxen, and the flock of chickens could not keep their footing, and went flying backward with a howl.
The Great Abyss of Guixu emerged, devouring everything, and all the heavens and myriad worlds were twisted and distorted, falling into that bottomless pit, everything destroyed!
Chickens flew, oxen bellowed, fish swam, all struggling, yet powerless against this world-destroying, heaven-annihilating force. Whoosh— They were swept into Guixu, quickly perishing, transforming into chaos.
A dead silence.
Only a large radish in the distance poked its head out from the soil, watching this scene in panic. After a moment, there came again a tremendous sound of the opening of heaven and earth.
The chaos around Shen Mu opened, evolving once more. The radish crawled out from the soil and took to its heels.
Yet though its speed was great, this torrent of the opening of heaven and earth quickly caught up to it. All the heavens and myriad worlds were born from the void, and the radish grew madly, yet fell into Youdu. There in Youdu, several dead Crested Fire Pheasant Dragons appeared, lonely and helpless, with only their souls remaining, staring helplessly as the radish flew past them, dancing and gesticulating.
The radish also saw several Kui oxen in soul form, and the two great red kun, now become incomparably gigantic, opening their great mouths and swimming about devouring everything.
They promptly joined forces, striving to swim out of Youdu. Suddenly, behind them, a monster was born with a bull's head, a human body, and a tiger's face, its physique terrifyingly large, with two long horns atop its head, nine bends and eighteen turns, flowing down like a long river of lava.
This bull-headed deity had Shen Mu's face, and held the River of the Underworld in his hand, using it as a whip. Noticing them struggling within Youdu, a look of surprise appeared in his three eyes.
Crack— The River of the Underworld lashed out, rolling up these few "little things.
" These few "little things," dancing and gesticulating, were sent out of Youdu. Thump thump thump— They fell to the ground, tumbling head over heels. The Crested Fire Pheasant Dragons, the Kui oxen, the great red kun, and the carrot stood up, and saw that they had landed before the gates of the Heavenly Palace.
Looking back, they saw that newly born universe collapsing and being destroyed once again, and could not help but feel a lingering fear.
"Cluck-cluck-cluck.
.
.
" One Crested Fire Pheasant Dragon embraced its egg, kissing it and hopping about in delight.
One Kui dragon hastily felt its own body, discovering that it was actually intact, its physical body returned, and could not help but weep toward the sky. "We have survived a great calamity; surely blessings will follow!
" One Kui dragon opened its mouth, and suddenly startled itself, crying out, "Moo! I can speak?
I've become a demon? " A group of Kui dragons rejoiced, mooing without cease, and that Kui dragon cried out, "Let us swear a blood oath and become sworn brothers and sisters, and from now on be the overlords of the Heavenly River!
