Chapter 1838 — Wuyai as the Sacrifice
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
This was precisely why his Dao-heart could not keep pace with his strength—a fact Shen Mu had long ago perceived.
Elder Wuyai's wounds multiplied; he fell back step by step, nearly driven out of Jade Capital City. In his panic he cried aloud: "Chaos, trade opponents!"
Shen Mu recalled the Chaos Sea and Guixu Lotus. His aura surged. He urged the Cosmic Bell—the bell now great, now small, its quaking unceasing—blocking every divine power that erupted from Young Master Zixiao's myriads of Dao Domains.
Behind him, the Chaos Hall spread open. The World Tree took root within the sixteen Chaos Rivers, Dao Fruits and Dao Flowers blazing with radiance, power surging in unending streams—at last holding off Young Master Zixiao's assault!
Elder Wuyai came hurtling over, the World Tree's roots like ten thousand dragons dancing, interweaving and crisscrossing, stabbing into Young Master Zixiao's myriads of Dao Domains. He bellowed: "I will deal with Young Master Zixiao—you take Lingxiao!"
"Agreed!"
Shen Mu crossed paths with him, meeting the oncoming Lingxiao.
Elder Wuyai at once began to curse inwardly. His divine powers were vast, the divine powers and Dao arts he commanded far exceeding Zixiao's in number—yet upon clashing with Zixiao, he immediately perceived that though his divine powers and Dao arts were many, their refinement fell far short of Zixiao's. The World Tree's roots were severed by Zixiao in countless numbers!
On the other side, Shen Mu against Young Master Lingxiao likewise suffered greatly at once. Young Master Lingxiao's Dao Spear pierced his Cosmic Bell again and again, skewering the bell through, diminishing the might of his treasure.
Shen Mu against Zixiao, Elder Wuyai against Lingxiao—that had been the optimal arrangement. Now, with opponents exchanged, the advantages of both were utterly undone!
Shen Mu and Elder Wuyai were in woeful straits, their wounds multiplying and deepening. Just then, in the skies above the Ancestral Court, a pair of great eyes suddenly appeared, watching the battle unfolding in the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City with keen amusement.
Those eyes sank lower and lower, until they pressed almost upon the skies above the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City.
"The scent of the weak..."
Young Master Wuji's figure emerged from the heavens, Guixu Lotuses standing straight and tall behind her, planted within the sixteen Guixu Abysses. She giggled: "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother—and Wuyai too—every one of you reeks of the weak!"
Behind her, chains transformed from red rope knots bound her fast—yet they could no longer suppress her cultivation and strength!
"Let me send you all on your way together!"
Young Master Wuji laughed aloud. Guixu Lotus after Guixu Lotus merged with one another, and the Guixu Abysses too began to devour one another, tending toward becoming a single great abyss!
Behind her, red rope chains exploded one after another with beng-beng sounds. The red rope knot seal Shen Mu had left was crumbling at flying speed—and of the other seals, Elder Wuyai had already broken nearly half!
The Young Master Wuji of this moment could no longer be suppressed!
"Strike!"
Shen Mu, Young Master Lingxiao, and Young Master Zixiao suddenly bellowed in unison. The three, mid-slaughter, abruptly turned their divine powers, all striking together at Elder Wuyai!
Elder Wuyai, caught utterly off guard, had no way to withstand the combined siege of three Young Masters.
In the span of a single instant, Elder Wuyai was suppressed by the three!
"Sacrifice Wuyai!"
The three shouted in unison. Elder Wuyai, together with the entire World Tree, was lifted up by the three Young Masters and sent flying toward the red Guixu Abyss in the heavens!
Elder Wuyai's mind went utterly blank.
