Chapter 1732 — The Wrong Side
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Some were people of Jingping, but many were beings she herself had created, beings whose souls she had personally awakened and shaped!
She was their mother - their Heavenly Mother!
Madam Tianyin turned back, tears streaming, and her Dao arts erupted.
Of that great army of Heavenly Court gods and demons charging up the shore at her and at the divine cities of the Tianyin Realm, black sand suddenly poured in rolling torrents from the eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths of every one; their primordial spirits shattered and became black soul-sand that merged into the very heaven and earth of the Tianyin Realm! This trend spread like a plague along the sea, racing straight for the Ancestral Court Jade Terrace, and almost no god or demon could resist the terrible might of the Tianyin Realm's Dao arts!
One after another, the gods and demons quickly became hollow husks - no souls, no spirits - and their corpses sank into the Tianyin Sea!
Madam Tianyin's heart ached, and she could not bear it. Ancient goddess of the Tianyin Realm though she was, since her rebirth she had killed only one person - the Netherworld Emperor.
She had never been able to raise her hand against any other living being; yet this time, she had no choice but to strike.
The Heavenly Court's army of gods and demons was simply too vast, while the gods and demons of the Tianyin Realm were too few and utterly unable to resist; she had to ensure the safety of her subjects! The Ancestral Court Jade Terrace blazed with light, and the commander-general guarding the terrace drove the terrace's might, slamming it hard against Madam Tianyin's divine art; before the power of her strike could even reach the Ancestral Court Jade Pool, it was shattered!
"Madam Tianyin truly possesses boundless Dao arts!
" Upon the Ancestral Court Jade Pool, the Heavenly Court's army formed its battle formations; Duke Ming, Duke Li, Duke Yu, Duke Da, and Duke Suo - the seven dukes - each stepped forward, and Duke Li said in admiration: "His Majesty ordered us to pacify the Tianyin Realm.
If we relied on ourselves alone to take the Lady, the casualties would surely be grievous. Fortunately, in this battle, we need not fight Her Ladyship to the death. " The moment his words fell, a thunderous boom resounded as an ancient god landed upon the Ancestral Court Jade Pool, his whole body pitch-dark.
He rose slowly to his feet and gazed across the sea at Madam Tianyin, his voice shaking the waters so that ripples covered the sea's surface: "The Spirit Official greets Madam Tianyin.
Do not blame me, Lady; if blame there must be, it can only be that the Lady has chosen the wrong camp.
. .
" Whoosh - a strange sound of tearing air came, and a figure was seen to streak across the terrace; the pitch-dark ancient god and that figure vanished without a trace!
Boom! The Tianyin Realm shook violently.
Everyone hurried to look and was horrified to see a great hole split open in the sky above the Tianyin Realm. The ancient god called the Spirit Official had been rent into pieces and was falling from beyond heaven, his corpse chunks plunging one after another into the sea with heavy splashes, flinging up great waves.
