Chapter 1850 — The Third Kind of Imperishable Matter
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Perhaps Shen Mu had acted before, but most who saw him act were already dead.
Even the master of Miluo Palace had once said that he could not quite understand the divine abilities of the Seventh Young Master of Chaos. Because they did not understand Shen Mu, Young Master Lingxiao and Young Master Zixiao could not infer Shen Mu's Dao arts and divine abilities from the Seventh Young Master. Fortunately, over these three and a half billion years, they had studied Shen Mu's Dao arts and divine abilities most thoroughly.
Shen Mu's Six Paths Heaven Wheel, though exquisite, posed no great threat to them; it could not plunge them into reincarnation.
But the wheel's other power was a fatal threat to the Jade Capital City. So long as the Six Paths Heaven Wheel existed, the Jingping Dao-attainers would be undying and indestructible, forever at their peak, all but impossible to kill. One could say the Six Paths Heaven Wheel had transformed these Dao-attainers into three thousand kinds of imperishable matter!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The tremors from beyond the city grew ever more violent. The Ancestral Court had shrunk to one thousandth of its original size and was still shrinking; it seemed the four walls of this great cauldron were already very close to the Jade Capital City. Of course, this was an error of perception.
The Ancestral Court was immensely vast; even shrunk to a thousandth of its original size, it was still extremely far from the Jade Capital City. Yet at this rate of contraction, it would likely not be long before the four walls of the Ancestral Court's Chaos Cauldron reached the edge of the Jade Capital City!
By then, all the Chaos Cauldron's power would be concentrated in a narrow space, striking the Jade Capital City directly! With the terrifying might of this heavy vessel forged by the Ancestral Court, it would likely shatter the Jade Capital City to pieces! At this moment, the fifty-six Hall Masters and the eighteen thousand Dao-attainers felt their resolve waver, and they looked one after another toward the two Young Masters.
But Young Master Lingxiao and Young Master Zixiao remained calm of countenance, composed and unhurried, watching Shen Mu drive the Six Paths Heaven Wheel as it rampaged through the city, destroying the Jade Capital City's buildings, drawing ever closer to them!
Rumble! The walls on all four sides of the Jade Capital City shifted, and more walls collapsed.
Now, standing within the city, one could clearly see the mountains and rivers upon the four walls of the Chaos Cauldron, could even see the trees upon the mountains! The four walls of the Chaos Cauldron were already very close to the Jade Capital City.
At last, the Six Paths Heaven Wheel came before the Dao Tree Forest in the city. Behind the Dao Tree Forest lay one Chaos River after another.
Within the Dao Tree Forest, many Miluo Palace Dao-attainers felt a wild, savage pressure!
Yes, a wild, unrestrained pressure.
They had all seen the Seventh Young Master Shen Mu before, but their dealings had been few. In their understanding, the Seventh Young Master Shen Mu had always been gentle and refined; wicked he might be, but graceful in bearing. Yet the Shen Mu before them now displayed utter wildness and dominance! Shen Mu looked from the Six Paths Heaven Wheel toward the two Young Masters ahead, his gaze indifferent, and the rotation of the Six Paths Heaven Wheel slowly came to a halt.
Behind him, the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City was already a scene of utter ruin; not a single intact building could be found.
The two Young Masters stood before the Dao Tree Forest. The Hongmeng runes around Young Master Lingxiao's Dao Spear still howled and turned, propping up the Chaos Sea in the sky so that it could not press down.
By now the Chaos Sea too had shrunk countless times over, growing ever heavier, bending this Dao Spear more and more, until it nearly reached the spear's limit!
Boom!
Another dreadful throb came.
