Chapter 1728 — The Solitary King Speaks
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 5
Heavenly Venerable Yun said, "The Lingguan Hall Master's body is too ancient. Every part of his flesh has already been cultivated into an Ancient God. If a man like this, at the moment your battlefront is locked in stalemate, suddenly turns into thirty of the most supreme Ancient Gods and slays your commanding generals, how will you deal with it?
" As he spoke, he picked up white stones one by one, placing them down ceaselessly, sending thirty white stones into Shen Mu's game. "Thirty such beings, with power nearly that of Duke Tian and Earl Tu, appearing suddenly on the various battlefields, would be enough to overturn the entire war. Among the commanders of the various armies, who can withstand them? " Shen Mu frowned slightly, looking at the game.
The Lingguan Hall Master's cultivation style was extremely strange, and Shen Mu had long since noticed this.
When he and Lord Shang had slain the Lingguan Hall Master, every part of that hall master's body had been like a living Ancient God; even after Lord Shang hewed him into dozens of pieces, each piece could still move independently on its own. Lord Shang, joining hands with him, had in the end only managed to destroy his Dao Tree, preventing him from attaining the Dao in this universe. In the end, it was Shen Mu who laid a scheme, using supreme sword-ways and Dao arts, to break one of his Dao Fruits and ruin his head. In the days since, Shen Mu did not know whether the Lingguan Hall Master had managed to undo the Dao wound left by his sword-ways and restore his head.
He thought that even if the man could undo the Dao wound, he would still be unable to refine a new head to the same ferocious degree as before.
"The Lingguan Hall Master still has two Dao Fruits and one Dao Flower, equivalent to three Dao-Achievers. The strength of three Dao-Achievers can measure up to thirty of the most supreme Ancient Gods.
" Shen Mu stared at Heavenly Venerable Yun's board. The game they were playing had no crisscrossing lines; instead, stones were placed directly in the air. What was even stranger was that the game seemed to have no rules; one could place as many stones as one wished.
For example, when Heavenly Venerable Yun said that the Lingguan Hall Master could turn into thirty Heavenly Venerables, he set down thirty stones, spreading them on both sides of the heads of each of the great dragons on Shen Mu's board, preparing to cut off the dragon heads. "Among the Four Ancient God Emperors, not one will escape unscathed!
The four Celestial Masters of the Carefree Land and the four Heavenly Kings will all have their heads taken! The new master of the Beast Realm, Long Pi; Jiang Baigui, the Imperial Tutor of Jingping; Wei Suifeng, the old founder of the Heavenly Sage Sect; Emperor Yanfeng; Gongsun Yan; the First Patriarch, the Human Sovereign; the two Chiming Emperors; Lady Tianyin; Shen Fengqing; Duke Tian and Achou—all these forces will shatter one by one with the Lingguan Hall Master entering the fray! " Heavenly Venerable Yun placed another stone.
"And on Heavenly Emperor Hao's side there is still strength to spare. He can even spare a single stone to set down beside the World Tree of the Ancestral Court and slay the Void-Born Flower!
Once the Void-Born Flower is broken, the prehistoric powerhouses will invade, endless and without limit. " Shen Mu shook his head. "Heavenly Emperor Hao would not do such a thing. " "But the Lingguan Hall Master would," said Heavenly Venerable Yun. "The Lingguan Hall Master is the master of the Jade Capital in the Ancestral Court.
