Chapter 755 — Waves and Sword-Shadows Like a Coiling Dragon
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Just then, a dark, heavy doorway suddenly appeared on the sea's surface. The doorway spun with a shriek, sweeping across one demigod after another.
The crowd cried out in alarm and tried to flee, but their souls plunged into the Dark Capital, and their bodies became corpses sinking into the sea.
Heavenly Lord Hao's pupils shrank. Beneath the sea's surface Shen Mu's head emerged; his body rose slowly. Even in the water he was still walking toward him, unhurried. Shen Mu's form rose higher and higher, appearing once more on the sea's surface.
"You are not Heavenly Lord Yu.
Heavenly Lord Yu had no such horrifying divine ability. .
.
" Heavenly Lord Hao retreated, staring at Shen Mu.
The other demigods came killing one after another—some spewing great fire from their mouths, some shooting divine light from their eyes, some using their own feathers as blades and swords—but to Shen Mu these primal divine abilities were far too crude.
Before those abilities could reach him, their masters had already been cut down by his blade, slain by his sword.
In this age, there was no divine ability worthy of his notice!
Even if they possessed the strength of gods, their divine abilities, in his eyes, were riddled with flaws; the moment they made their move, they were certain to die!
He walked on. Heavenly Lord Hao ground his teeth and fled, crying shrilly: "I know who you are now! Heavenly Lord Mu.
. . " He fled onto a divine mountain and cried out: "Heavenly Lord Mu means to kill me!
" The sea turtle bearing the divine mountain turned its body and looked at Shen Mu, who came step by step, and said in a deep voice: "Heavenly Lord Yu, however vast your divine abilities, this is the Jade Pool.
Do you know who Heavenly Lord Hao's birth mother is?
If you knew. . .
" Shen Mu raised his hand. Beneath the sea countless streaks of sword light raced at high speed.
The old turtle flew into a rage and sneered: "A grain of rice dares to shine before the sun.
. .
" "Kalpa Unsealed—" A sword light, brilliant as a pillar, more than ten li long, shot out from behind the island and pierced the brow of the old turtle at the prow. The divine mountain sank.
Shen Mu sheathed his sword; the sword light became a sphere, rolling swiftly over the sea's surface.
The moment the divine mountain sank, Heavenly Lord Hao leaped up and fled. Runes whirled around Shen Mu's body; his form flickered and vanished, closing the distance between them. Suddenly an obscure, murky aura came forth, setting the surrounding space trembling without cease.
Heavenly Lord Hao was overjoyed and cried out: "Mother! " Shen Mu's pupils shrank.
He pointed a finger, and the sword core's speed increased more than tenfold; all his magic power, all his essence, spirit, and vitality, poured into that one sword!
He would slay Heavenly Lord Hao before that incomparably powerful existence descended!
