Chapter 1807 — The Holy Land Killing Array
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Beneath the World Tree, no one knew how many prehistoric powerhouses stood guard. After his battle against the Third Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, and Taiyi, Old Man Wuya had suffered grievous wounds and had been forced to return to the main body of the World Tree to recuperate, and so he had summoned these smuggled prehistoric powerhouses to safeguard his peace. The World Tree had once towered lofty and majestic, but after that battle nearly all its branches and leaves had withered away, and this holy tree no longer showed the grandeur of former days, bearing instead a rather miserable aspect.
When Shen Mu folded the Ancestral Court, the tremor startled even this place, leaving the powerhouses beneath the World Tree uneasy and suspicious. Suddenly Old Man Wuya's face emerged from the trunk, his voice shaking the air with a rumbling roar: "The Seventh Young Master Shen Mu harbors evil designs.
He folds the Ancestral Court with the intent to seal it, to trap us like beasts in a cage and force us into war with Miluo Palace.
Though I do not fear Miluo Palace, if we go to war with them, the slaughter will be grievous. I shall divide off one branch. Huang Tang, find a few capable hands, take this branch of mine, fly out of the Ancestral Court, and choose a land of superb fengshui in which to plant it. " The World Tree shook, a branch broke off and flew into the hands of Huang Tang, one of the Three Elders of Fengshu. Huang Tang accepted the branch and meant to bring the other two elders with him, but Old Man Wuya said: "Li Shu and Yan Xiuge must remain to guard this place.
Remember, leave the Ancestral Court at once, find a treasure land of fengshui and plant the branch.
Then I shall resonate with that branch, our roots joined as one, and the Seventh Young Master will be unable to suppress us. " Helpless, Huang Tang could only seek other skilled hands, but fortunately beneath the World Tree there was no lack of existences of Celestial Venerable level, and he soon found more than ten top experts. The party at once left the World Tree and flew toward the heavens beyond.
At the same time, Palace Master Hehuan entered Jade Capital City and came to the River of Chaos to see the Third and Fourth Young Masters, speaking of the battle in the Ancestral Court: "Kaihuang Shen Ye, guided by the Seventh Young Master, has us blockaded in Jade Capital City. The Seventh Young Master is sealing the Ancestral Court, about to turn it into a prison that we cannot leave.
" The Third Young Master Lingxiao laughed: "So what?
Not to say he cannot seal it, but even if he could, there is still the Ultimate Void. Once you reach the Ancestral Court and entrust yourselves to the void, you will recover your peak strength, and all his scheming will come to nothing! " Palace Master Hehuan hesitated, then said: "Kaihuang Shen Ye says the Seventh Young Master can seal the Ultimate Void.
" The Third Young Master Lingxiao frowned, pacing back and forth as he pondered how one might seal the Ultimate Void. "Perhaps there is one way, and that is to use the Great Abyss of Guixu.
" A flash of insight struck the Third Young Master Lingxiao and he halted, saying: "If he blocks the sky above the Ancestral Court with the Great Abyss of Guixu, then not to mention the Ultimate Void, the other voids will cease to exist.
That must be the method he is using.
" He frowned slightly.
Though he had guessed the method Shen Mu might employ, he had no confidence at all in how to counter it. At the end of the Sixteenth Era, there had occurred not only the matter of Shang Jun slaughtering on all sides, but another incomparably dreadful affair, and that was the great massacre wrought by the Second Young Master Wuji!
At the end of the Sixteenth Era the Second Young Master Wuji had suddenly gone mad and struck at all Dao-attainers, even killing many Dao-attainers of Miluo Palace itself!
