Chapter 1761 — The First Battle for Supremacy
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 6
When the army of Carefree Land arrived, the Heavenly Court's counterattack was ferocious beyond measure.
Ever since the Heavenly Court had come to the Origin World, it had held the offensive from first to last; though there had been victories and defeats, the overall momentum had never shifted.
But now Carefree Land and Jingping had eaten bear hearts and leopard gall, daring to take the initiative and attack, attempting to reverse the tide of fate. To every soldier of the Heavenly Court, this was absolutely intolerable.
When Carefree Land pushed forward to the front of the Heavenly Court's main camp, the Heavenly King Huang Tianxi could no longer sit still. He led a vast army out to kill, and the Heavenly Court's forces surged forth like a tide, blotting out the sky and covering the sun!
The Carefree Land strongmen bearing the coffin stood at the very front, watching the Heavenly Court's tiger-and-wolf army charge head-on, watching all manner of dao arts and divine powers rise from the enemy camp like a sudden ten-thousand-zhang tidal wave of divine light sweeping toward them. The sight was enough to drive one to despair! Along with the divine powers of the Heavenly Court's soldiers came tens of thousands of divine weapons, those treasures weaving through the surging tide of powers, the divine weapons constantly transforming, their divine might unfathomable!
The divine-power strongmen of Carefree Land had beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads, yet they did not move a muscle, silently awaiting the command of the Woodcutter Wen Tiange. They had an inexplicable faith in the Woodcutter Wen Tiange; even facing such a terrifying spectacle, their confidence did not diminish in the slightest.
The tide of the Heavenly Court soldiers' divine powers and divine weapons came with incredible speed, drawing ever closer, yet the Woodcutter Sage still did not give the order. The tidal wave of divine powers and divine weapons crossed a hundred li in the blink of an eye, now only about a hundred zhang away, and behind that surging tide was the tiger-and-wolf army of the Eastern Heavenly King Huang Tianxi!
At that very moment, from behind them came the Woodcutter's voice: "Open the coffin!
To battle!
" Those divine-power strongmen heaved the coffin open, and suddenly dao might surged forth, and the World Tree rose into the air! Shen Mu sat upright in the coffin beneath the tree, motionless, when suddenly his Divine Treasury Domain erupted, roaring and expanding.
Huang Tianxi was the Eastern Heavenly King of the Heavenly Court, an existence capable of contending with the Four-Colored Great Emperors.
When Shen Mu had fought the Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master, Huang Tianxi too had been trapped within Shen Mu's domain, and he held a deep shadow in his heart regarding Shen Mu's Divine Treasury Domain.
Seeing Shen Mu's domain erupt, he could not help but murmur: "My life is finished!
" Yet though Shen Mu's Divine Treasury spread out and drew Huang Tianxi's army into it, the Divine Treasury Domain did not activate; instead, it took in the entire army of Carefree Land in one sweep. The soldiers of Carefree Land had been through dozens of battles great and small, had endured the battle of Carefree Land's destruction, the battle of the retreat to Jingping, and the defense of Lanfeng, and now only two hundred thousand remained. Compared to the Heavenly Court's armies that numbered in the tens of millions at every turn, this force was not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth!
