Chapter 1838 — Wuyai as the Sacrifice
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
The two of them watched the great battle raging within Jade Capital City in silence, neither speaking a word.
The Lunar Heaven Sovereign trusted him deeply.
To this day, Shen Mu had never once disappointed her. She understood his worry—he feared she did not trust him. But she had always trusted him; it was only that this trust was something she could not put into words for him.
After a long silence, of a sudden Shen Mu stepped forth, charging into the city, making straight for the Dao-Achiever controlled by the Fourth Young Master. The Lunar Heaven Sovereign followed close behind, like a fallen leaf drifting at Shen Mu's back, moving as the wind willed.
Far off, Elder Wuyai saw this and at last set his heart at ease. He too charged straight into Jade Capital City, hurling himself at Heavenly Lord Hao, whom the Third Young Master Lingxiao controlled.
With the two great powers joined, the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City tottered on the brink.
For years Jade Capital City had been amassing blood-sacrifice energy, yet no new Hall Master or Dao-Achiever had ever descended—all so that the Dao-Soldiers of the Third and Fourth Young Masters might descend, possessing strength enough to contend with Shen Mu and Elder Wuyai.
With the Young Masters themselves unable to descend, sending down their Dao-Soldiers was the finest choice for opposing these two great powers.
Moreover, the two Young Masters could also descend through their respective followers, and through those followers' fleshly bodies unleash a portion of their battle strength.
Yet Shen Mu and Elder Wuyai joining hands to besiege Jade Capital City still placed the city under tremendous pressure.
Though Shen Mu had held secret meetings with the Third and Fourth Young Masters, agreeing to stand against Elder Wuyai and Young Master Wuji, he showed not the slightest restraint, instead striking at Young Master Zixiao with lethal intent, one killing move after another without end!
Boom!
Shen Mu erected the Cosmic Bell. With a single dong, the myriad Other Realms all around quaked, and the Great Chiliocosmic Other Realm even showed signs of being shattered by a single toll of Shen Mu's bell!
"Fourth Brother, this time it is our alliance that will trap and slay Second Sister and Elder Wuyai."
Shen Mu's bell-shock set Young Master Zixiao's qi and blood roiling, yet in his hand there suddenly appeared a Taiyi Divine Axe. Executing the move Taiyi Fells the Tree, he cleaved at Young Master Zixiao, lowering his voice: "I beg Fourth Brother to show mercy. Only when Second Sister makes her move will we have the strength to stand against her!"
"Well said!"
Young Master Zixiao raised his hand, three fingers pressing three zither strings—he too held nothing back. The strings loosened, and the divine powers within them erupted; Other Realm after Other Realm flew like blades, ding-ding-ding, clashing against the axe's edge!
Those Other Realms were like thin mirror-faces. Cleaved apart by Shen Mu, they flew past on either side of him, howling and swelling behind his back, transforming into one Great Luotian after another.
Shen Mu's muscles surged. Taiyi Fells the Tree split those Other Realms apart and chopped into Young Master Zixiao's palm—the palm was severed by a single axe-stroke. Yet his body vanished, leaving only the severed hand behind. The next instant he appeared within a Great Luotian transformed from an Other Realm behind Shen Mu. The zither strings stirred, slicing across the back of Shen Mu's neck!
Shen Mu's head shot skyward—then with a sudden peng it burst apart, transforming into a mass of chaos qi. From within the chaos qi a Chaos Sword flew out and landed in Shen Mu's hand.
A new head grew forth from Shen Mu's neck. His feet split apart—the Tiandu Genesis Chapter erupted!
