I can also escape this river's surface and go annihilate the Jingping Dao-achievers! " Although he did not know what Shen Mu's Way of Chaos truly was, cultivation was the standard by which strength was measured.
He could not understand the divine ability Shen Mu used, but he knew that Shen Mu was merely using that strange divine ability to send him and Fourth Young Master onto the Chaos Long Rivers, buying time. Yet even if Shen Mu had cultivated for three and a half billion years, his cultivation was still far inferior to his own and Fourth Young Master's!
Young Master Lingxiao shot forward like the wind, quickly reaching the far bank of this long river.
His spirits lifted; without a moment's pause, he raced onward. He knew he had chosen the right direction. As long as he continued along this course, he would find the far banks of the other long rivers, until he reached the Annihilation Tribulation of the First Epoch or the Sixteenth Epoch.
If he reached the First Epoch, he would see the Miluo Palace, and turning back from there would take at most two days in all.
And if he walked out of the Sixteenth Epoch's Annihilation Tribulation, he could free himself at once. These sixteen long rivers could not trap him!
A day later, Young Master Lingxiao crossed the sixteen Chaos Long Rivers, but his heart suddenly sank—ahead still stretched the vast, boundless Chaos Long River.
The corner of his eye twitched violently, yet he lowered his head and raced onward. Another day passed, and he crossed sixteen Chaos Long Rivers again, but the chaotic mist ahead was still immensely thick, without end.
Young Master Lingxiao halted, pondered for a moment, left one Dao fruit suspended in the mist, and continued racing forward. This Dao fruit's function was to suppress any divine ability Shen Mu might have left upon the long river!
He realized that he might have inadvertently triggered Shen Mu's divine ability while crossing the Chaos Long Rivers, causing himself to spin round and round among the sixteen long rivers. Although he could not understand or see through Shen Mu's divine ability, as long as he suppressed it so that it could not function, he could escape!
At the second long river, he left another Dao fruit.
At the third long river, he left yet another. When his eight Dao fruits were used up, he left his Dao Tree in the chaotic mist.
At the tenth Chaos Long River, he left his Dao spear; at the eleventh, he left his Dao Hall; at the twelfth, he left his Da Luo Heaven.
He continued racing forward.
By all reasoning, only four Chaos Long Rivers should have remained ahead, yet when he reached the thirteenth, he encountered his own Dao fruit.
The corner of Young Master Lingxiao's eye twitched, but he ignored the Dao fruit and charged on.
When he reached the fourteenth Chaos Long River, he encountered his Da Luo Heaven—which should have been on the twelfth. He pressed on and saw his own Dao spear.
Young Master Lingxiao stopped, reached out, and seized the Dao spear. He let out a muffled roar, and the rolling Dao tones shook the surface of the Chaos Long River, blasting it open with thunderous booms!
"Seventh Brother!
" Burning with outrage, Young Master Lingxiao thrust his Dao spear madly in every direction!
He had finally understood the operating principle of Shen Mu's divine ability: the sixteen long rivers revolved ceaselessly around Shen Mu, the position of every river constantly changing—changing with no pattern whatsoever!
As long as he set foot on the river's surface, he would never walk out! Just then, he sensed waves of terrifying divine-ability fluctuations and could not help but feel a stir in his heart.
"Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother are clashing! They, too, are upon the long river!
" He raised his Dao spear and drove it heavily into the river's surface.
