The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 6
After a moment, Tai Yi was seized, and Young Master Taishang suppressed him within the Divine Coffin for Burying the Dao, drove in the Divine Nails for Slaughtering the Dao, and patted the coffin. "For you I have prepared this divine coffin for many years.
" Shen Mu smiled.
"Senior brother, before teacher entered the Seventeenth Epoch's Calamity of Creation, did this ever happen?
" Young Master Taishang froze, then shook his head.
Shen Mu smiled.
"Then look again. " At that very moment, great chaos broke out within the Calamity of Destruction, and countless attainers screamed within the calamity and died one after another, devoured by one terrifying power after another. "Wuji, what are you doing?
" Taishang cried out in shock.
"Wuji is slaughtering on all sides, devouring attainers to strengthen her own power.
" Shen Mu stood beside him and said, "This too never happened before teacher entered the Calamity of Creation, did it?
" Taishang was both startled and enraged, yet he saw Wuji actually trying to kill Zhanji and devour her, and just as he was about to stop it, Lingxiao, Zixiao, and Wuzong suddenly arrived together to besiege Wuji. "This too never happened before teacher entered the Calamity of Creation.
" Shen Mu's gaze flickered as he said in a low voice, "Then is the Seventeenth Epoch future teacher saw still the true future?
" Taishang did not understand what he meant, when suddenly a huge wooden ship broke through layer upon layer of chaos and sailed into the river, appearing upon the battlefield where the young masters warred. The huge wooden ship was beaten by the young masters until it snapped in two.
"Tai Yi!
" Taishang stared dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened, for he saw another Tai Yi, along with many Heaven-Openers, appear upon that battlefield, plunging everyone into melee. "Senior brother, this too never happened.
" Shen Mu suddenly shifted across, and just as Wuji seized Zhanji, seizing her whole cultivation and about to swallow Zhanji in one gulp, Shen Mu crashed in, and Wuji's bones broke and sinews snapped as she tumbled away.
Taishang's heart startled, yet he saw Shen Mu all but overturn the entire River of Chaos, and in a brief instant gravely wound Lingxiao, Zixiao, and Wuzong, gravely wound the other Tai Yi, seal the Heaven-Openers, and drive the Heaven-Openers into the ship broken in two.
"Lingyun, take them to the Filthy Grounds.
" Shen Mu said.
Shen Lingyun then drove the broken ship, bearing a shipload of Heaven-Openers toward the Filthy Grounds. Tai Yi vomited blood, wilted and listless, and looked up.
"Chaos, do not exterminate us utterly.
" "Fellow Daoist, please depart.
" Shen Mu pointed with his hand, and a wisp of Tai Yi's soul flew out, passed through the Seventeenth Epoch's Calamity of Creation, and fell into the Seventeenth Epoch universe nine and a half billion years on.
That time was precisely when Taishang dissolved his Dao and reincarnated. Taishang reincarnated, yet in this life his mother bore a pair of twins, two little boys squeezed together.
Within the Sixteenth Epoch's great Calamity of Destruction, Shen Mu smiled faintly at Wuji.
"Second sister, you asked me to meet you at your strongest, and I have done it.
Only of this matter, second sister will have no memory.
" With a whoosh, the Rivers of Chaos of sixteen cosmic epochs rolled up, forming great wheels of reincarnation, and when the wheels dispersed, Wuji was still locked in battle with the three young masters. Taishang glanced doubtfully at Shen Mu beside him, only to see an extra little girl beside Shen Mu, and he was somewhat bewildered, for never before had he seen this girl.
Zhanji looked up at Shen Mu and said, "Seventh Young Master, what just happened?
" Shen Mu smiled.
"Nothing ever happened. " Zhanji no longer knew who she was, her memory wholly altered, her appearance changed too, become a little girl.
