The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
The two sides clashed; suns and moons filled the sky, countless suns and moons forming all manner of wondrous formations, attempting to break through Little Xuandu's confines. But facing Celestial Venerable Yue and Lang Wan, the formations of the Sun Guards and Moon Guards seemed somewhat strained.
"Heaven Duke, the situation is stabilized!"
Celestial Venerable Yue wiped the sweat from her brow and called out loudly, "You can withdraw the heavenly dao supreme treasure now!"
During this time, Heaven Duke had been beaten half to death by the Ancestral God King, nearly losing his life, able only to flee constantly; yet his physical body was in the Ancestral God King's grasp, and no matter where he fled, the Ancestral God King could always strike him.
Heaven Duke's physical body was a notch inferior to the physical body of Taichu, the ancient god Heavenly Emperor, but it was still one of the mightiest bodies in the world today. Over these years the Ancestral God King had controlled this body with ever greater skill, and its power had grown ever greater.
"Father God, will you die or not?"
The Ancestral God King was abnormally elated, driving Heaven Duke's physical body to chase Heaven Duke into flight in all directions; yet his attacks could still land upon Heaven Duke, making his wounds ever heavier.
Heaven Duke tried to summon the heavenly dao supreme treasures, but the Ancestral God King raised a hand and waved it, and from within Heaven Duke's physical body burst forth one heavenly palace after another, blocking each supreme treasure of the heavenly dao, so that he could not touch them.
"Father God still dotes on me!"
The Ancestral God King laughed heartily, not without pride: "Letting me kill Father God twice, to make up for what my heart desired!"
He stepped down from the brow of Heaven Duke's physical body, looked at Heaven Duke struggling bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "In this world, there is no such thing as fairness and justice. Father God, you always have fairness and justice on your lips, but in truth you are the most unjust of all. The wolf eats the sheep, the sheep eats the grass, the grass eats the soil. This is the heavenly dao. The ancient gods eat the half-gods, the half-gods eat humans, humans eat animals and plants. This too is the heavenly dao. As Heaven Duke, your comprehension of the heavenly dao is too narrow; when faced with the resistance of the human race, you actually chose to help them fulfill it rather than strangle it!"
He raised a hand and pointed at Lanfeng Valley, sneering: "Look at these humans, these postnatal living beings. They were originally unable to attain eternal life, yet they defy heaven and can live as long as gods! They originally had no power, yet they created cultivation arts and divine abilities, and grasped power! They dig ore veins, open mines, extract the metals of the gods and forge them into weapons, and begin to slay gods!"
"They level the mountain slopes and lay roads, change the courses of rivers, irrigate the fields; they even alter the growth of crops to satisfy their appetites! They even twist the great dao of heaven and earth, actually carrying out reforms, so that many arts of the dao that never existed before have appeared in this world!"
The Ancestral God King reached out and seized the Heavenly Net Dao Weapon flying toward Heaven Duke. With the dao weapon in hand, the other heavenly dao supreme treasures immediately flew over and circled around the Ancestral God King.
"They are changing the heavenly dao, changing this universe! And you did nothing! As an ancient god, you should have a stance, and you, you have no stance at all!"
One after another the heavenly dao supreme treasures came under the Ancestral God King's control. The Ancestral God King walked toward Heaven Duke, and behind him Heaven Duke's physical body was still madly attacking Heaven Duke.
