Chapter 1810 — Siding with Outsiders
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
"Everyone, you now have but one road to survival.
" Shen Mu raised a single finger, his gaze sweeping across the faces of Hehuan, Phoenix, Huang Tang, and the others, and smiled. "That road lies in sending you back to the past. Before that, however, I need you to hand over everything you know of the blood sacrifice grand array. I will lay out the array and send you back. Once you return, the energies you blood-sacrificed will go back to the Seventeenth Epoch, returning to their original owners. What say you all?
" "Dream on!
" Palace Master Phoenix looked up at him and cried with murderous intent: "Seventh Prince, you are a prince of Miluo Palace. Why are you siding with outsiders? Not helping Miluo Palace is one thing, but actually turning against Miluo Palace?
If the Master were to learn of this. .
. " Shen Mu struck out with a Primordial Finger. Palace Master Phoenix's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to defend herself, only to see that finger thrust toward the Golden Ship of Salvation behind him.
On the Golden Ship, Palace Master Zengcheng was leading two Dao-attainers of Miluo Palace in combat against Kaihuang and others.
Suddenly sensing danger, Zengcheng hurriedly shifted, transforming the Zengcheng Hall into a divine city, and as he moved he slipped into that city to take refuge.
The Zengcheng Treasure Hall was exceedingly ingenious, its internal structure infinitely complex; he thought Shen Mu's strike could not harm him. Swish!
He dodged into Zengcheng, and one of the Dao-attainers who had been fighting shoulder to shoulder with him against Kaihuang was caught off guard, the Primordial Finger piercing straight through his brow! The finger was absolutely overbearing. In the instant the primordial qi passed through the man's brow, it transformed into Taiyi primordial qi, then into Taichu primordial qi, cycling through the order of the Five Tais; by the time it became Taiji primordial qi, the power of that finger had already issued forth from his brow.
When the Primordial Finger passed through the back of the man's skull, it was no larger than a fingertip, but when it burst out through his forehead, it was already the size of a bowl.
The Taiji primordial qi spun, and yin and yang energies instantly evolved into countless innate great Daos. With a resonant clang, the ten thousand innate Daos exploded from the shattered brow, spreading outward in the form of a cosmic great bell swelling at tremendous speed. All seven princes of Miluo Palace had received the teachings of the Master of Miluo Palace and all cultivated primordial qi and primordial runes, yet even the same divine ability manifested differently in each person's comprehension.
Most of the other princes had also trained in the Primordial Finger, but when Shen Mu's Primordial Finger erupted in power, it formed a bell-shaped Dao pattern domain that evolved the birth of a universe, and its might was extraordinary. This was due to his cultivation method, and also to the Dao he practiced. Shen Mu withdrew his finger, and his gaze fell once more upon Palace Master Phoenix.
"I have long experienced your abilities, Palace Master Phoenix. When I escaped the Yujing trap, you and the other palace masters surrounded and attacked me. How audacious of you to besiege a prince of Miluo Palace, and now you come before me to talk of siding with outsiders?
A fine joke indeed.
" On the Golden Ship, the Dao-attainer of Miluo Palace who had taken the hit was exceptionally resolute. He immediately cut off his own head, attempting to regenerate himself and grow a new one. But to his horror, when his new head grew forth, the Dao wound left by Shen Mu's finger remained on his forehead and the back of his head! He could feel that wherever the might of that finger had passed, the Dao he had cultivated was directly destroyed, leaving an indelible brand.
