Chapter 1811 — Striking Down Three Scions of Great Houses
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Yet the force of the blow had been enormous, and part of it still passed through the coffin and struck Shen Mu.
Shen Mu spat blood. With his other hand, he took up more Dao-Slaying Divine Nails and hammered them one after another through the coffin into the Third Young Master's wrist and arm.
"You once wanted to put me in a coffin. Now let me put you in one first!
" Elsewhere, Huang Tang was sent flying out of the river by Shen Mu's blow and over the sea. He abruptly drove the trunk into the Chaos Sea, skidding across the surface and plowing two great waves of chaos apart on either side. Suddenly the small World Tree struck a lotus leaf, tossing it up, and at last the force of Shen Mu's blow was dispersed.
Huang Tang stamped to a stop and landed on a lotus leaf. A line of blood appeared on his brow.
He gave a muffled groan, his body trembling, and propped himself up with the trunk of the small World Tree.
He channeled his power, trying to suppress the wound left by Shen Mu's sword. It might have been better if he had not. The moment he channeled, the sword that had pierced his brow seemed to be nourished, and its sword-Dao power soared.
Huang Tang bellowed. Behind him, the Dao tree rose, the Great Luo Heaven emerged, and his Dao fruit shone with dazzling brilliance.
It turned once, and a heaven manifested.
His Dao fruit turned thirty-six times, revealing thirty-six heavens and lifting his power to its peak. But his face flushed redder and redder.
The Calamity-Breaking Sword was nourished to the limit by his own power, and sword qi swept through the heavens behind him, destroying all thirty-six in succession. Sword light also blazed across the Great Luo Heaven, coiling like dragons and serpents, and soon the Great Luo Heaven began to crumble. Hiss!
A sword light shot from his Dao fruit. It was the sword-Dao of the Calamity-Breaking Sword, already invading his Great Dao and dissolving his cultivation.
The sword light multiplied until, in a single breath, it was everywhere.
Then a beam fell upon his Dao tree. "This is bad!
" His heart sank.
The sword-Dao within Shen Mu's Calamity-Breaking Sword was different from anyone else's.
If he had not forcibly channeled his power to suppress it, he might still have had a chance to refine the sword away. But his forced channeling had instead raised its might beyond what he could endure.
"Senior Wuya, take care of my sworn brother and sister! " Knowing that death was unavoidable, Huang Tang, with grief and fury warring in him, roared and kicked out fiercely, sending the trunk of the small World Tree flying across the air.
Shouting in rage, he pushed the great trunk forward with his right hand and ran madly over the Chaos Sea.
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
His footsteps struck the sea and exploded, churning chaos.
Huang Tang sprinted, no longer suppressing the power of Shen Mu's sword. Instead, he pushed his cultivation to its limit, drove the World Tree into the River of Chaos, and charged straight for Shen Mu.
Behind him, the Great Luo Heaven fell apart; sword light leaked from the Dao tree, and the Great Dao he had painstakingly cultivated through one cosmic age after another was shattered in that light.
Soon sword light was piercing outward from beneath the skin of his physical body, destroying its functions.
"Ahh—" Huang Tang opened his mouth to roar, but Dao blood sprayed out instead. Blood streamed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, spilling into the River of Chaos.
On the river, the Dao-Slaying Divine Nails had already pierced the Third Young Master's right upper arm. Third Young Master Lingxiao's entire right arm had lost its power, suppressed by the Dao-Burying Divine Coffin, and his heart was filled with shock and fury.
