Chapter 801 — The Great Dao Is One

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2

" Yan Qiling laughed softly.

Primeval magnetic divine light burst forth, transforming into two primeval magnetic divine sabers. Shen Mu shifted his footwork.

The sword in his hand flashed cold light as he thrust at empty space beside him, one sword after another, striking the empty air again and again. His feet moved; Yan Qiling, afraid of exposing her back to him, moved her feet as well. Yet the sword he thrust into empty space struck precisely the place where her body would appear the next instant.

Clang, clang, clang — an incomparably dense succession of collisions rang out. Her primeval magnetic divine sabers danced, each time blocking the sword light with perfect precision and forcing it back.

The sword in Shen Mu's hand suddenly split in two, then two into four, and in the blink of an eye became several thousand flying swords, wheeling around the two of them. He was like a god-devil with a thousand arms, ceaselessly changing swords, while the flying swords in the air killed toward Yan Qiling from different angles, each sword executing a sword move entirely different from the others.

Yan Qiling shifted her sabers. From the two primeval magnetic divine sabers flew out saber after saber, colliding with the flying swords in the air. The summit of the crooked peak was several dozen mu in size.

The youth and the girl moved back and forth across it, like startled swans, like flying butterflies, saber light and sword shadow all around them, collisions in endless chain, every instant perilous in the extreme. The close-quarters sure-kill techniques of the combat-technique school were displayed to the fullest on the two of them.

For all its peril, it gave off an uncommonly beautiful feeling. Suddenly the two figures separated. Shen Mu turned; there was no longer any flying sword in his hands.

Both palms pushed forward, and around his palms countless primeval magnetic runes danced. Primeval magnetic divine light erupted!

Countless runes transformed into a river of stars made of hundreds of millions of stars, primeval magnetic divine light surging and interweaving among the stars one by one. That was Granny Zhu's divine art — he had learned it after seeing it only once! It was with this divine art that Granny Zhu had triggered the key to breaking the seal on the Primeval Realm, causing heaven and earth to change together and bringing the Primeval Realm back into the world!

This divine art was the great divine art by which Granny Zhu had reached the Dao realm of primeval magnetic divine power. When Shen Mu used it, the terrifying geomagnetic primeval force at once pressed everything around into the ground. The crooked peak bore unimaginable pressure and sank ceaselessly into the earth!

Yan Qiling turned at the same time and laughed. "The Earth Mother Yuanjun's Dao Twelve!

" She too pushed out both palms, and primeval magnetic divine arts erupted! This girl was actually meeting Shen Mu force with force! The two raced forward at incredible speed and crashed together with a boom. As their palms met, primeval magnetic force turned to light bursting from their palms, and with a swish it sheared off the top of the crooked peak!

Half of the crooked peak beneath their feet abruptly sank into the ground!

Shen Mu's hair bristled with fury.

He roared, and all at once the blood-and-qi behind him surged like a tide, as though a vast sea of blood had appeared at his back, raising his blood-and-qi a thousandfold in an instant!

"The martial dao Great Emperor's Dao One! " Yan Qiling was astonished. The girl could not react in time.

Shen Mu drew back his palm into a fist and drove it forward.

The ocean of blood-and-qi behind him roared and turned into vital essence, rushing straight ahead! Yan Qiling gave a muffled groan and flew backward. In the air countless phantom images of Shen Mu appeared, following close behind her, each phantom Shen Mu attacking her with a different martial dao divine art!

Boom — halfway up the slope of another towering mountain, a human-shaped hole appeared, and then a huge fist print appeared over the human-shaped hole, the fist's peak smashing into the mountain body and shaking the mountain a few times.

Shen Mu's figure appeared before the cave. He raised a hand and pressed a finger to the center of his brows.

Countless flying swords flew in from behind him and condensed before him into a sword pellet. Shen Mu thrust out his sword finger. A sword light more than ten li long pierced into the cave, and the next moment shot out from the other side of the mountain!

The sword light blazed, like a pillar of light brilliant beyond measure!

"The sword dao's Dao One! " Yan Qiling's voice came from the other side of the mountain. Shen Mu's pupils shrank sharply.

He lifted the willow leaf, and the third eye opened. A ray of light shot from that eye, following hard upon the sword light!

At the same time he raised a hand and struck out a seal. Heavenly fire crystals rang out, bursting forth from all directions, bombarding Yan Qiling on the other side of the mountain!

"The Great Dao of Youdu's Dao Twenty-Three, the Great Dao of Xuandu's Dao Two!

" Amid terrifying quakes, Yan Qiling's voice came through still clear: "Cult Master Shen, your divine arts are truly remarkable!

Then — Dao One — have you seen it?

"
