Chapter 467 — The Asura Blood Realm

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2

The three pearls shone in the sky and clashed with the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl's azure light. The pearl in Xiong Qi'er's hand shook violently, the dragon's cry suddenly rising shrill, and an azure dragon flew out from the pearl. The moment it left the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl, the azure dragon's body became immeasurably vast; its enormous form flew, coiling and swimming around one mighty mountain after another, terrifying beyond measure.

And before the True Heaven Palace, the three great spirit treasures' radiance also grew ever brighter. The white tiger, the soaring serpent and dark turtle, and the vermilion bird flew out from the pearls. The white tiger crouched mightily on a mountain top and roared at the heavens; the vermilion bird cried long and beat its wings, scattering a sea of fire; the dark turtle trod the sea, the ocean surging and roaring beneath its feet, the ocean floating in the sky, the soaring serpent threading through the waters.

The three True Heaven Palace women roused the other three great spirit treasures and joined forces against Xiong Qi'er; the three treasures together suppressed the might of the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl.

The marks of petrification on the turbaned man shed away swiftly. He smiled faintly, the flying sword behind him returned to its sheath, and his figure vanished into the True Heaven Palace.

"Kill them." His voice came.

The petrification marks on the True Heaven Palace disciples atop the peak giants shed away; with the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl's power suppressed, they too were able to free themselves.

The azure light on the peak giants receded as well. One after another the peak giants shifted their enormous bodies, swung mountain-like swords, and charged at the great clans of the Western Lands.

He Yiyi shouted sharply. The enormous catapults worked of themselves, whirling their long arms with a whoosh and flinging out smaller stone men one after another. Compared with the peak giants, the great stone men were pitifully small, yet in mid-flight these stone men unfolded and stretched, pouncing at the peak giants.

Firelight burst in midair; stone man after stone man was shattered in the air, destroyed under the peak giants' enormous weapons.

Those were sect-guarding treasures, erupting with dreadful power in the peak giants' hands, shaking the stone men into powder, into clouds of dust in the air.

Yet still many stone men landed on the peak giants' bodies; these stone men climbed at furious speed, racing toward the peak giants' heads.

On the peak giants' heads, the True Heaven Palace disciples faced them as they would a great enemy, each driving her arts and divine powers to the utmost, plucking the spirits from the stone men that came pouncing up. Stone man after stone man collapsed and crumbled, becoming heaps of rolling rock.

Crash.

The rain poured down in torrents, a sky-wide green rain falling amid crashing thunder; that was the poison rain sent down by the divine-power wielders of the Mu family and the Fu family together.

In that poison rain, even the crackling lightning that struck down was green, and the lightning too carried deadly poison; lightning mingled with rain surged toward the peak giants' summits!

More women poured out of the True Heaven Palace, and countless primal soldiers flew out at once, like golden and silver rings great and small, weaving among the mountains.

The spinning golden and silver rings drew in the lightning and rain, binding them within the rings, passing them through and channeling them down the mountain.

The dark clouds in the sky quaked, and tornado after tornado descended from the heavens, twisting like dragons' bodies, sweeping at those golden and silver rings.

In the True Heaven Palace, the woman controlling the Dark Warrior Pearl roused it; the ocean poured back, crashing with a boom into the dark clouds, swallowing clouds, lightning, and tornadoes all at once!

"Kill!"

Sharp women's shouts rose around Shen Mu. The enormous catapults strode forward with a rumbling, and after walking some li they crouched down; many women leaped into the great baskets and were flung out howling by the catapults.

Many mountain giants charged in from the rear and collided with a boom against the peak giants guarding the True Heaven Palace. Tens of thousands of Fang family disciples stood atop the mountain giants' heads, and countless primal soldiers flew out to do battle with the True Heaven Palace disciples atop the opposing peak giants.

Countless vines stretched out from the air, coiling toward the peak giants. The women of the Xi family trod the vines, weaving among the mountains, killing their way toward the True Heaven Palace women on the summits, while the vines wrapped around one great mountain after another.

Boom.

A pagoda-shaped peak pressed down, and who knows how many Xi family women were ground to powder. Yet no one had time for grief: the Fang family women rode long rivers like flood-dragons, racing among the mountains, colliding with the waterfalls and rivers that came plunging from the summits. Countless water giants rose from the great rivers, blades and swords of dark ice in their hands, pouncing at these women.

The True Heaven Palace had become a vast Asura battlefield, and the warriors on that field were those charming, lovely women.

"Long Pang, guard Qi'er!"

Shen Mu moved, leaping onto the stone block carrying He Yiyi as it traveled through the air. The vast Yun City broke apart completely, becoming a torrent of giant boulders that bore them rushing into the high sky.
