Chapter 1744 — You Are Not Worthy
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 5 of 5
The commander of every army had sweat rolling down his forehead, drenching his back, yet none dared wipe it away. Instead they glared with eyes like brass bells, staring fixedly ahead, their spirits wound to the utmost tension.
In the sky, killing intent filled the heavens, leaving not a bird or beast for tens of thousands of li.
One after another, Holy Pupils emerged in the sky, rolling and tumbling through the air, shooting out beams of divine light in every direction, searching! The Holy Pupils in the sky ranged from those as vast as the sun and moon to those only a few mu in size.
Some had various formations imprinted in their eyes, some were tempered with the Great Dao, and some were the demon eyes of the demon race's demon gods.
Their kinds were exceedingly numerous, and their functions largely different.
These Holy Pupils and strange eyes searched heaven and earth, hunting for Shen Mu's whereabouts.
At the same time, word had long since been sent to the Heavenly Emperor's detached palace, informing the Haotian Emperor, Taichu, the Empress, and the others.
The Haotian Emperor dared not be negligent.
He ordered the Right Guard of Divine Strategy and the Left and Right Yulin Guards to deploy their formations and guard the four sides of the Heavenly Emperor's detached palace, standing ready. Taichu, the Empress, and the Taiji Ancient God surrounded the Haotian Emperor as he stepped out of the great hall.
Still uneasy, the Haotian Emperor looked up and saw the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and the Zixiao Treasure Hall growing ever more radiant, and only then was he reassured. They looked ahead and saw that the countless Holy Pupils and strange eyes in the sky suddenly went out one after another, growing dim.
The suns pulled by the Xuandu armies in the sky seemed shrouded by massive dark clouds, casting down not a sliver of light, causing the Xuandu sun guards to halt their great sun chariots one after another and turn back to look, fearful that their own suns had been extinguished. They breathed a sigh of relief—their suns had not gone out. Rather, a towering great tree had passed beneath, and the tree's leaves, vast beyond measure, had blocked the Xuandu suns.
Those extinguished strange eyes and Holy Pupils were not so fortunate.
Those eyes had been blinded by surging waves of murderous aura, as though slashed by a blade!
Within the Heavenly Court's main camp, quite a few gods and demons suddenly let out miserable howls, their voices shrill and mournful, as they raised their hands to cover their eyes. From between their fingers flowed black blood and red blood.
Almost every one of the gods of the Bureau of Celestial Observation was simultaneously reduced to a blind old man! "It is Lord Shang!
" Taichu said in a hoarse voice, feeling the wounds on his body begin to ache again. The Haotian Emperor glanced at him, then suddenly cried out in a loud voice, "Pass my command! Let the Shepherd Heavenly Venerable enter. No one is to resist!
" After a moment, Shen Mu stepped through one great formation after another of the Heavenly Court, letting the murderous aura surge around him, utterly unconcerned. He arrived at the Heavenly Emperor's detached palace and walked up before the Haotian Emperor and the others.
The Haotian Emperor sneered and was about to speak when Shen Mu raised a single finger and wagged it, saying indifferently, "The Young Master's dog is no longer qualified to converse with me. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I have come.
Will you come out and speak with me, or watch as I beat your dog to death? "
