Chapter 1746 — The Selfish Squire
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
With a thunderous boom two streams of hellfire shot from her pupils and struck A Chou, hurling him high into the air; then those two flames pierced through his body and nailed him to the ground.
A Chou's body healed. Heavenly Venerable Xu gave a furious snort, snapped the long whip, and coiled A Chou up in it. She reached out and seized him by the throat.
"Father God is as laughable as ever. " A smile spread across Heavenly Venerable Xu's face, her eyes full of mockery.
"I am your seed.
I inherited your bloodline. From the moment I was born my soul was incomparably powerful, and I was clever beyond my years.
Do you really think I cannot remember the things of my childhood? " Seeing this, Heavenly Venerable You rushed forward at once to rescue A Chou.
Heavenly Venerable Xu raised her hand, and from behind her countless Youdu fiend-gods came howling out to meet him! A Chou's voice was hoarse. "You, hold Jingping!
Do not worry about me!
" Heavenly Venerable You had meant to recall all his incarnations and assassinate Heavenly Venerable Xu; hearing this, he could only send those myriad incarnations to meet the fiend-gods and fiends that blotted out the sky!
He knew in his heart that A Chou, mindful of the bond between father and daughter, would never lift a hand against Heavenly Venerable Xu, and that he might well die at her hands; therefore he held nothing back! His hundreds of millions of incarnations were all transmuted from his primordial spirit. Each was a match for a fiend-god, and the thoughts of each incarnation were linked to all the others.
More crucial still, his incarnations had no primary body: any single incarnation could serve as his main body! Nor was that all.
At any moment he could fuse several incarnations into one, greatly swelling their power. Should he encounter a stronger god or fiend, he could merge them together to deal with the foe!
The blind elder of Yincan Village had long since perceived the wonder of this strange cultivation method of his: so long as Heavenly Venerable You attained exceptional mastery in the art of formations, he could draw out the full might of his infinite incarnations! In single combat, Heavenly Venerable You would be held back by the modest cultivation of his physical body and be put on the defensive; but against large-scale massed warfare he was all but invincible! Over the years the blind elder had devised a great many formations for him, of every kind and configuration, and Heavenly Venerable You had studied their application at his side.
For anyone else it would have been all but impossible to master so many complex formations in a mere dozen years; and even having mastered them, it would be harder still to command hundreds of millions of incarnations while at the same time deploying the various formations and configurations to break the enemy on a battlefield that shifted from instant to instant.
But Heavenly Venerable You was different. Solitary though he was, he was no fool; far from it, he was exceptionally clever. He was merely unaccustomed to dealing with people, so that in some matters of knowledge he remained closed off, and had not kept pace with the direction taken by Jingping's reforms.
Yet he curbed his solitary nature and studied long and hard under the blind elder, and this thing that seemed impossible, he truly mastered! Now, at last, the cultivation of those dozen years blazed forth in glory!
His army of incarnations crashed into the legions of fiend-gods and fiends, and in an instant the killing was so savage that the blood ran in rivers.
