Chapter 1850 — The Third Kind of Imperishable Matter
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
A stretch of the Jade Capital City's walls collapsed, countless bricks and stones flying in all directions, and the Hongmeng runes branded upon the bricks were blasted to powder!
The four walls of the Ancestral Court's Chaos Cauldron were now only a hundred li from the Jade Capital City. The mere pressure of this heavy treasure, this mighty vessel, left many Dao-attainers in the city gasping for breath!
Now even the fifty-six Hall Masters could not sit still; they looked again and again toward the two Young Masters, beads of sweat rising on their foreheads.
Young Master Zixiao and Young Master Lingxiao remained calm and unhurried, utterly unconcerned.
From beyond the city came a creaking, grating sound, the sound of the Jade Capital City's walls, pressed by that dreadful force, teetering on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, the walls on all four sides of the Jade Capital City collapsed in great swaths, and the four walls of the Ancestral Court's Chaos Cauldron finally arrived before the Jade Capital City! Everyone in the city felt as though they stood within the great cauldron, liable at any moment to be buried beneath its power!
"Young Master! " a Dao-attainer cried out shrilly.
Young Master Zixiao played his zither, and the music surged violently.
Countless otherworldly Daluo Heavens shrouded the Jade Capital City on all sides, resisting the power surging in from every direction of the Chaos Cauldron. The otherworldly Daluo Heavens were seen ceaselessly arising and perishing, yet they never broke.
Shen Mu raised an eyebrow.
"Old Seven, do you know?
" Young Master Lingxiao's palm fell upon the Dao Spear.
The spear, nearly snapped by the pressure of the Chaos Sea, instantly straightened, and its power pierced through the Chaos Sea.
The madly spinning Hongmeng runes spilling from the spear shaft immediately tore the Chaos Sea apart! Around the Dao Spear formed a dreadful vortex, howling and turning.
Young Master Lingxiao said indifferently: "The Jade Capital City was forged by our teacher to carry all living beings through the Tribulation of Destruction and the Tribulation of Creation.
This divine city can be called the third kind of imperishable matter in the seventeen universes past and present.
" He suddenly spun the Dao Spear, and the collapsed walls and towers of the Jade Capital City were instantly restored in full!
The Jade Capital City howled and swelled, rotating as his Dao Spear rotated! A dreadful upheaval came. The Ancestral Court's Chaos Cauldron was burst apart, split in four and five, by the swelling, rotating Jade Capital City!
Young Master Lingxiao reached out and drew up the Dao Spear.
The Jade Capital City shrank swiftly and sank downward.
A heaven-shattering, earth-rending roar came; the ground of the Chaos Cauldron cracked amid violent trembling, and a great hole was smashed through it! Around the Jade Capital City, countless shattered continents flew off in all directions. Young Master Lingxiao brandished his long spear, and the Jade Capital City abruptly halted its fall, soaring skyward to meet the descending Chaos Sea!
Boom!
The Jade Capital City smashed through the Chaos Sea, and that expanse of Chaos Sea split into four and five! The reason the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City bore the words 'Ancestral Court' was that it sat within the Ancestral Court; it was not a part of the Ancestral Court. In truth, this divine city had been forged beginning in the Second Epoch.
As one cosmic epoch after another passed, it had long since grown vaster than the Ancestral Court itself!
The Jade Capital City flew out of the Ancestral Court's Chaos Cauldron.
Below it lay the Ancestral Court, shattered into countless continents, with earth, water, wind, and fire surging and howling, like the Ancestral Court's doomsday!
