The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
The dao spear bent, then snapped straight with a sudden twang, and Heaven Capital City went shrieking into flight!
This relic was dense with the qi of chaos, solid and vast, yet even such a holy ground could not withstand the terrifying power of Third Young Master Ling Xiao. Shen Mu stamped his foot heavily.
The ruins of Heaven Capital City, which had flown toward the Obelisk Forest, at once pitched down at one end and reared up at the other, adrift in the Foul Ground like a fallen leaf tossed on the wind. Third Young Master Ling Xiao, reeking of killing intent, descended into Heaven Capital City.
Though he had only just recovered his physical body, Shen Mu was in no better shape; the dao wound that Fourth Young Master Zixiao had left on him would not heal in any short span.
The moment his dao spear struck, it was with his most ferocious killing move: the dao spears stood like a forest, like a great prison! Third Young Master Ling Xiao hated evil as though it were his own foe, and the strange treasure he had left in Jade Capital City was his Great Prison, used to suppress and refine the enemies who opposed Miluo Palace.
He was not merciful like Eldest Young Master Taishang, who would not kill his opponents; even against a "great evil" like Taiyi, Taishang merely suppressed him within the Divine Coffin of Dao Burial, suppressed and bound him.
Third Young Master Ling Xiao's Great Prison was filled with a dense forest of solemn dao spears, and those spears pierced the prisoners' physical bodies, pierced their primal spirits, tormenting them without cease until they could bear no more and died. And from his Great Prison, one could also glimpse the tyranny and cruelty of his cultivation arts and divine powers.
The divine power contained in his dao spear was the most tyrannical of divine powers; once the spear struck, all the gods and sages of heaven would gather and guard around it, causing his battle strength to surge! Shen Mu retreated. Countless spear shadows whizzed past him on every side, and Third Young Master Ling Xiao's momentum grew stronger and stronger, closing in with incredible speed, his spear striking like a dragon, transforming in a thousand ways, while from all around came the voices of gods and demons preaching the Dao, lending him strength and making his dao spear even more terrifying!
The ruins of Heaven Capital City burst apart with thudding cracks, shattering under the might of the dao spear and turning into the qi of chaos. The qi of chaos in these ruins grew ever denser, and still more of it came rolling out from the depths of time and space, and within the mist of chaos tall and strange figures seemed to stand, shadowy and indistinct, impossible to make out clearly.
Third Young Master Ling Xiao paid them no heed.
The tip of his spear never left Shen Mu's vicinity as he killed his way deep into the ruins. Suddenly, Shen Mu's figure halted.
His feet, set in neither the ding nor the ba stance, landed exactly at the center of the altar in the place where heaven was opened, within that pair of footprints. Third Young Master Ling Xiao's heart leapt: 'The Heaven Capital's place of the opening of heaven! ' He knew something was wrong.
At once he roused all his power and thrust out one final strike, even as he flung the dao spear from his hand and withdrew.
At that very moment, Shen Mu reached out and drew his sword. The sword light blazed. The Heaven Capital's Chapter of the Opening of Heaven!
Boom!
Chaos was split open, and a new universe was born within the sword light. Wherever that sword light passed, the tall and strange figures in the mist of chaos dispersed like smoke and cloud before the blade!
"Third Brother, this is the very Tribulation of Creation, the opening of heaven and earth, that you escaped.
Now I return it to you!
" Shen Mu's dao voice exploded, and the sword light met the dao spear that Third Young Master Ling Xiao had thrust forth.
