Chapter 491 — Stepping Into the Annals of History

The youth surnamed Bai was blasted away like a meteor by Shen Mu, streaking across the sky above the brilliantly lit city. Below, the two girls were stunned. Ban Gongcuo, however, looked as if it were only natural, and said sourly, "That villain surnamed Shen is at the Seven Stars realm, and so am I. Take one of his punches head-on and your bones break and your tendons snap, let alone meeting him at the Six Harmonies realm.

Now you are in a sorry state, are you not? " The youth surnamed Bai flew back even faster, furious. "The Six Harmonies realm could not possibly possess such formidable mana, such a powerful body!

You must be at the Seven Stars realm. I will fight you at the Seven Stars realm!

" Boom— The youth surnamed Bai was sent flying backward again. A deity standing atop a tall tower reached out a hand and caught him, laughing. "Young City Lord Qingfu has been knocked back again. Met his match, has he? " The youth surnamed Bai, Bai Qingfu, laughed in fury, flew from the deity's palm, and charged at Shen Mu. "What does abundant mana amount to? Behold my divine powers!

" He ran forward, his fist techniques shifting unpredictably, a sky full of dragon claws madly attacking Shen Mu. A wild wind and raging thunder rushed at his face, whipping Shen Mu's clothes.

He felt at once a peerless ferocity bearing down on him.

Hastily casting aside all distracting thoughts, he activated the Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art. His eyes shone bright, and an inexplicable excitement rose in his heart: "How do the Daoist arts and divine powers of the Supreme Emperor era compare with later ages? Now we shall see!

Nine Dragons Ride Wind and Thunder! " The two collided with a boom, and ripples spread through midair at once, dragon-shaped currents of qi streaming away in all directions. "Roar—" Suddenly countless dragon-shaped forces erupted from all directions, ten thousand dragons roaring.

One dragon-shaped force after another darted wildly through the air, battling one another. The two walked the dragons through the air, passing by one towering deity after another in the city.

Divine light surged skyward from those deities as they watched the two fight, laughing and praising without end. In the city below, countless passersby stopped and looked up, and many flew into the air to watch from closer. A deity laughed. "Go down, all of you. Do not disturb them.

I will light them for you so you can see more clearly. " With that, his two sacred pupils blazed with light, and two thick pillars of radiance shone upon Shen Mu and Bai Qingfu.

Suddenly a god-man walked over, with high brows and eyes, long whiskers, and dragon eyes, imposing and extraordinary.

"City Lord Bai," the many deities said, greeting him one after another. The god-man waved his hand and looked at Shen Mu, surprised. "This youth is remarkable. What he uses are Buddhist methods. But why is his mana so abundant?

And there seems to be the breath of my dragon race in his cultivation method. Strange, truly strange. . . " Bai Qingfu fought on without gaining the upper hand, his techniques winning him no advantage at all.

"Primeval weapon clash! " he shouted. A dragon-shaped primeval qi flew out, and within it a black-water dragon pearl spun round and round. At once countless sharp swords flew from the black-water dragon pearl, flying swords like dragons, attacking Shen Mu! Shen Mu had originally held back part of his mana, meaning to observe the Daoist arts and divine powers of the Supreme Emperor era, and so had not used his full strength.

But once Bai Qingfu's dragon sword left its sheath, its edge was extraordinarily keen, and he had no choice but to use his full power. "His sword technique is exquisite, but it is only the fourteen basic sword forms.

He has not stepped beyond the mysteries of those fourteen forms. " One glance was enough for Shen Mu to see the truth and falsehood of Bai Qingfu's sword technique. He patted the Taotie pouch, and the sword elixir flew out. Shen Mu seized the sword elixir, and eight thousand swords poured from between his fingers like flowing sand!

In midair the sword techniques collided. Bai Qingfu gave a muffled groan, struck by a hundred and more swords, and fell.

Shen Mu raised a single finger, and countless flying swords flew back, gathering above his fingertip with a clinking and clanging, becoming a swiftly spinning sword elixir. "Excellent swordsmanship! " Cheers came from all around.

Shen Mu looked about and saw that a hundred or more deities had gathered here, their tall, towering figures looming dimly against the night.

Shen Mu's heart turned cold, and he bowed in greeting all around. A great laugh rang out, and a middle-aged man strode through the air as if on flat ground, coming over to stand before Shen Mu. Shen Mu could only look up at him.

"Truly a talented youth!

" The middle-aged man laughed heartily. "Whose disciple are you? Your skills are truly fine, and what you cultivate seems to be the arts of my dragon race.

" Shen Mu's thoughts raced, and he said hastily, "I am Shen Mu, and I came here by accident.

I obtained a dragon nest with some dragon race writing on it, and so I cultivated the dragon race's methods. " Bai Qingfu flew up and praised him sincerely. "Truly fine skills.

Even in the Heavenly Court, you could stand out among the younger generation. Brother Shen, this is my father, Bai Yuting, city lord of this Bailong City. " Shen Mu hastily bowed in greeting. Suddenly, from the darkness outside came the rumbling of war drums.

Bai Yuting's expression turned grave, and he said in a low voice, "That is the sound from Beiluo Shimen! Otherworldly demons are invading. Four of you stay to guard the four gates. The rest, come with me to meet the enemy! " He led the deities away into the distance.

Shen Mu was slightly startled.

"Beiluo Shimen? Was the divine bone I awakened not that of a chiliarch of Beiluo Shimen? " He looked in the direction Bai Yuting and the others had gone, and saw in the darkness the lights of countless bright lamps coming from afar, joining into a single line of sky. That was distant Beiluo Shimen, a divine city in the heavens. "Ever since night fell, demons have often invaded.

Pay it no mind.

" Bai Qingfu said, "Brother Shen's swordsmanship is even above his boxing. Might you teach me?

" Shen Mu laughed. "I too have some confusion about dragon race writing. I would ask Brother Bai to enlighten me. " They landed.

Hearing this, Ban Gongcuo's expression shifted slightly.

He hastily shook his head at Shen Mu and sent a voice transmission in alarm: "Be careful of changing history, or we will not be able to return! "
