Chapter 1709 — The Grand Scheme of All Under Heaven
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
In the sky, the stars were in chaos — an anomaly wrought by the Western Emperor summoning his ancestral land, dragging it forth from the Western Pole Heaven! Should the Western Emperor descend together with his ancestral land, his battle power would likely rival that of a Heavenly Venerate!
Suddenly, a sacred relic flew out from the Spirit Energy Teleportation Bridge: a golden war horn of terrifying length.
Before the Western Emperor had even descended, the sacred weapon of the Western Pole Heaven had already appeared. The horn sounded of its own accord, and with a single long, resonant blast, the massive war horn was blown.
Yue Tingge and the assembled generals and soldiers of the Western Land felt their qi and blood surge, their vitality abruptly swelling more than tenfold; the power of their divine abilities and divine weapons alike shot upward in a straight line! The horn's call stirred the will to battle in their hearts, spurring them to fight the enemy in decisive combat, filling them with a conviction of invincibility, of certain triumph over any foe! The White Emperor was startled. The sound of the Western Pole Heaven's sacred horn caused the Heavenly Court army he led to wither rapidly in qi and blood, and involuntarily planted in their hearts the thought that the enemy could not be vanquished!
The Western Emperor White Tiger was an ancient god of war from the primordial era, the master of war! The Western Emperor had not yet emerged, but the horn had arrived first, seizing the initiative; combined with the surging army of the Western Pole Heaven, this battle would likely end in more defeat than victory for him!
"We must seize the divine weapon! " The White Emperor activated the Azure Blood Rusted Banner Scripture.
At once the rusted banner shrouded the army, and he cried aloud, "Sacrifice to the Heaven Gate!
" Rumble! The Ancestral Court's Western Heaven Gate rose slowly, golden light radiating in all directions.
The White Emperor drove the Rusted Banner Scripture, and from between the two great mountains of the Western Heaven Gate, streaks of golden light flew out in every direction, like countless golden swords sweeping toward the soldiers of the Western Land!
Yue Tingge immediately shifted his formation, placing mountain after mountain of divine giants in front to block the dao might of the Western Heaven Gate.
At that very moment, an iron-blood rusted banner flew out from the golden gate, bearing the surging golden qi of the Ancestral Court's Western Heaven Gate, sweeping toward the Western Emperor's horn.
The White Emperor, his robes flapping, stood upon the iron-blood rusted banner, intent on seizing this treasure. Yue Tingge at once rose to his full height, landing on the golden horn a step ahead of him. The slovenly Daoist, magnificent in momentum, unleashed his divine abilities and met the White Emperor!
The two collided once.
The White Emperor's momentum waned, and he landed upon the long tip of the horn. With a sweep of his great banner, a heavenly palace leaped out from its surface. He said coldly, "Master Yue!
I never thought a Daoist like you would betray the Heavenly Court! " Yue Tingge laughed heartily, his Daoist robes tattered, and said leisurely, "Our Daoist sect has never submitted to the Heavenly Court.
How could there be any betrayal? We Daoists only seek to study the arts of divination and perceive the mysteries of the universe. In our hearts there is no right or wrong, no good or evil.
" The White Emperor's expression darkened. He knew Yue Tingge's capabilities. The strategy that had shattered the Kaihuang Heavenly Court in those years had come from Yue Tingge's hand. The Kaihuang Heavenly Court had the support of the ancient gods Tiangong and Tubo, as well as the Four Emperors.
