Chapter 1142 — Sword Like a Long Rainbow, Spirit Like a Winding Dragon

Though he was dependent on the Celestial Court and on Western White Emperor, preserving the old customs of blood offerings and blood sacrifices, he was ultimately not free and could no longer act with the wanton abandon of former times. If this Celestial Worthy Mu, who had once slaughtered ancient gods with such monstrous cruelty, could truly become a great benefactor capable of making the ancient gods imperishable through ten thousand calamities, that would surely be a good thing.

Besides, Celestial Worthy Mu was so weak that he would be easy to control. Yet this time, Celestial Worthy Mu had come to kill him!

The White Earth Ancient God's second great hand seal missed, and his third attack missed as well.

His fourth attack came straight toward Shen Mu's back, carrying immense force! At the same time, Dao radiance burst from the sharp horn on his brow and shone toward Shen Mu!

Ding! The Dao radiance struck the sword radiance and scattered it, revealing the true form of the broken sword.

His fourth attack had reached Shen Mu's back. If Shen Mu did not evade, he would surely be slain! The trembling flesh on his face pulled into a smile.

His voice thundered as he cried, "Celestial Worthy Mu, stop! We are natural allies.

.

.

" Before he could finish the word "allies," the broken sword in Shen Mu's hand expanded violently, transforming into a divine saber that cleaved down toward the White Earth Ancient God's divine horn! The blow swept forward with irresistible force, splitting apart the hardest of divine horns.

The horn cracked in two and flew from the crown of his head.

The White Earth Ancient God's fourth attack followed immediately, reaching Shen Mu's back, while at that same instant the divine saber in Shen Mu's hand transformed into a long sword and swept across the White Earth Ancient God's brow.

Boom!

The White Earth Ancient God's fourth attack struck Shen Mu squarely in the back.

Flesh exploded in every direction, and flying out with it was the White Earth Ancient God's skull. His skull was hurled backward, while the blow blasted nearly all of Shen Mu's back apart, reducing the muscles there to ruin and sending him tumbling behind the White Bone Ancient God together with that enormous skull.

Looking down, he saw the structure of the White Earth Ancient God's brain with perfect clarity. The White Earth Ancient God had only half a brain remaining.

In the instant Shen Mu lowered his head, the third eye at his brow opened, and a beam of light thundered into the remaining half of the White Earth Ancient God's brain. His celestial soul disintegrated.

His terrestrial soul and divine soul tried to flee, but there was no time. They shattered as well, turning into a surging cloud of black soul-sand that scattered in every direction!

The Glazed Azure Heaven Banner clattered as it withdrew.

The twenty-eight heavens transformed back into twenty-eight canopies and drew together along the pillar. The gods and demons who had yet to recover their senses returned to the altar's surroundings, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

The White Earth Ancient God still sat upon the altar in his ancestral land, three palms holding their seals, the might of those seals not yet fully dispersed, while the other palm had been reduced to half. A smile still hung upon his face.

"Divine Ancestor, what happened?

" The surrounding gods and demons looked around in confusion and asked one after another.

Only then did they discover that the White Earth Ancient God was dead! Shen Mu circulated the Three Elixirs of the Profound Body, and the wounds in his back rapidly healed.

He uprooted the Glazed Azure Heaven Banner, turned, and strode away. In a low voice, he said, "To Northern Profound Province.

Let us pay a visit to the Earth-Forming Ancient God! " Behind him came the sound of wailing.
