Chapter 1675 — The Ferocious Sword Cleaves Taichu
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
His sword dao was formidable indeed; wielded with his vast and mighty dharma power, its might rivaled Kaihuang's of old! The sword moves he used were Kaihuang's own, one thrust piercing the Thirty-Three Heavens, stunning in the extreme!
But his Dao heart had already collapsed, and the power of his sword dao fell away at once; worse still, his variations grew stiff and halting. The instant the two sword lights clashed, the Calamity Sword changed its move and became Calamity-Breaking; in a single turn the Thirty-Three Heavens conjured by Taichu's Imperial Sword were ground to nothing.
The body of Taichu's Imperial Sword suffered countless blows and shattered inch by inch in his hand. Taichu flicked the hilt away with a finger; the Innate One-Qi erupted, ten thousand daos became one, and became a divine finger-point that ignored every variation of Shen Mu's Calamity-Breaking Sword and thrust straight on! Ding.
A crisp ring, as his fingertip met the tip of the Calamity Sword. Shen Mu's sword light pierced into his finger, and the unmatched sword dao ran along that finger, its sword intent reaching his arm!
His other four fingers stirred, brushing one after another across the point of the Calamity Sword, finger after finger, breaking apart the sword's power!
At the same time Taichu's other hand pressed down in a palm strike; beneath the palm, among the lines of the palm, ten thousand daos surged like all the heavens and myriad worlds, with countless divinities beneath his hand!
That blow poured forth divine light, and in a single palm revealed all the majesty of the supreme ancient-god emperor!
After all, he was the emperor who had ruled an age and ended an age; all the ancient gods of the primordial universe through ages beyond counting had lain under his sway.
That blow was not only the Innate One-Qi but also the Dao of Taichu, the divine art he had comprehended through his insight into the Dao of Taichu!
Shen Mu drew his sword with his right hand, the point wavering, becoming the Five Primordials as One, while his left hand rose to meet Taichu's palm! At the same time his primordial spirit, before the Chaos Hall of the Heaven Court, raised its left hand and made the same motion.
That blow, too, was the Five Primordials as One!
Only Shen Mu's palm was too small, and the divine art's transformations could hardly be discerned in it. But his primordial spirit's hand was larger by countless times!
His primordial spirit's palm and five fingers were like the Ancestral Court, and his five fingers were like the Ancestral Court's five great ore veins, Chaos, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu and Taiji, all fused into one!
The two palms met without a sound, yet between them burst a measureless radiance, forming a round thin blade in the starry sky! The blade had almost no thickness at all; it swelled with furious speed and in an instant cut the starry sky, a hundred million li wide, into two halves!
Shen Mu leaned back slightly; behind him the great Heaven Court, a thousand palaces and ten thousand halls, shifted in endless permutation and dissolved the whole force of that blow.
Taichu's heart sank. He stepped back into the One-Qi Daluo Heaven to evade Shen Mu's Calamity Sword, and saw the five great ore veins the sword had become crash into the One-Qi Daluo Heaven, pressing that Daluo Heaven down a shade.
The five great ore veins that the sword light had become were like five raging dragons; even the ultimate void could not erase a hair's breadth of that sword art!
"His cultivation is no weaker than mine now.
By now he can likely brand the void with his own power and become a Dao Attainer!
And all of this, did the Seventy-Two Halls bring it to him, or did his Chaos Hall?
" Taichu's gaze fell upon the Seventy-Two Treasure Halls.
