The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
And those Dao patterns, chains, and realms, refracted through the countless mirror leaves, instantly became countless great powers rushing to meet Shen Mu! As Shen Mu had said, Palace Master Chuge at his peak was an incomparably mighty existence. Had his five Dao fruits and one Dao flower all been present, a single blow from the mirror leaves of his Dao tree could have grievously wounded any who had attained Dao!
Shen Mu's form suddenly grew immensely tall, his foot shifting to reveal a vast altar beneath his soles!
He swung his axe with all his strength to cleave through every power!
As the axe light fell, the surviving powers slipped past the divine axe and struck Shen Mu's body almost at once! At the same moment, the divine axe of Taiyi cut across Palace Master Chuge's brow, its edge slicing through the two Dao fruits and through the Dao tree behind him!
Thud, thud!
Palace Master Chuge's legs kicked in succession against Shen Mu's chest, driving Shen Mu back several steps.
"Seventh Young Master, what message would you have me carry back? " Palace Master Chuge's upper body stood rigid upon the tree, motionless, his face grim as he spoke.
Blood seeped from the corner of Shen Mu's mouth.
He dispersed his great axe and said faintly: "You already carry my message. " Palace Master Chuge nodded, and his form and Dao tree slowly faded away.
In the Great Calamity of Destruction of the Sixteenth Era, Yujing City of the Ancestral Court floated above the Calamity of Destruction, when suddenly the Dao tree of Palace Master Chuge emerged, drawing cries of alarm.
The many who had attained Dao in the Miluo Palace hastened forth.
Palace Master Chuge, together with Palace Master Huanxi and Palace Master Changfeng, had journeyed to the universe of the Seventeenth Era and were all but fully entered therein, yet now he had returned, and they could not but be shaken.
"Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master!
" Palace Master Chuge's face was solemn and expressionless, his upper body standing upon the crown of the tree, saying in a low voice: "The Seventh Young Master bade me return to bring a message to the Miluo Palace.
" Third Young Master Lingxiao frowned slightly: "What message?
" With a splatter, Palace Master Chuge's skull split open, the crown flying off, the two Dao fruits cracking apart, their Great Daos severed!
The crown of the Dao tree beneath him flew backward with a whoosh, its canopy flying out of the Miluo Palace to fall into the Calamity of Destruction.
The corpse of Palace Master Chuge swayed and toppled down.
This was the message Shen Mu had him carry back. Those who trespass into the Seventeenth Era shall die!
