The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
His Haotian Sovereign flesh too neared ruin and dissolution under the black light. Shen Mu urged the Immutable divine art to rescue him, and just as he saved Lingxiao, Wuji struck him with a raised seal, his body shook beyond control and burst apart with a thunderclap, flesh and primordial spirit swelling swiftly into a starry universe.
This was the Creation Tribulation, and faced with such a great tribulation art even Shen Mu could hardly resist.
As Wuji was about to urge the Destruction Tribulation art to destroy Shen Mu at a stroke, the wounded Young Master Zixiao charged in, his sword light piercing her back.
Wuji waved a sleeve, Young Master Zixiao's flesh twisted, compressed, shrank to a minute point, then burst open, about to become Chaos. The starry universe that was Shen Mu suddenly died away into Chaos, the Chaos Palace emerged, Shen Mu charged out from the hall, fingers spread, pressing one seal upon Wuji's face, while with his other hand he wielded the Immutable divine art to save the Zixiao on the verge of turning to Chaos.
With a flick Wuji sent Shen Mu spitting blood, tumbling back to smash upon the onrushing World Tree.
With two thuds, just as Shen Mu landed, the sounds of heavy bodies falling came, and Young Master Lingxiao and Young Master Zixiao also smashed upon the World Tree. Elder Wuyai struck at the three at once, but they suppressed their wounds, quick as hares and hawks, and in the next instant Elder Wuyai spat blood, sprawled panting upon the roots.
The three steadied themselves and looked toward Wuji, only to see upon her face a crimson palm print sunk deep, pressing her nose and eyes and mouth almost into her skull.
It was the might of the Red Cord Knot Seal which Shen Mu had learned on the spot and comprehended.
Lingxiao's Dao spear, straightened by Lingxiao, pinned Wuji to the lotus throne, while Zixiao's Dao sword had hewn away every petal of the throne. Wuji coughed blood without cease, struggling to rise, yet unable.
Zixiao summoned his ancient zither, its music sounding, ready to deal Wuji and Elder Wuyai the final blow.
At the same time, from the Chaos Palace behind Shen Mu, zither music also came.
Moon Heavenly Sovereign sat in the hall, her face calm, playing that Zixiao Attainment Melody composed by Young Master Zixiao's late wife.
