Chapter 881 — The Firmament's Legitimate Heir
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
This was a trait passed down in one continuous line. "The more chaotic this world becomes, the better it is for our demon race.
" Mahakala said leisurely, "Only in chaos can we demons have any chance of survival.
If the Heavenly Court forges a completely fixed future, that would be the end of our demon race. When I asked that existence from the Heavenly Court to act, I actually wanted to see whether the Heavenly Court's weapon could truly be invincible under heaven. Now it seems the Heavenly Court cannot achieve that. " He laughed very happily.
"A great weight has suddenly lifted from my heart.
For this alone, I cannot kill the Jingping Overlord Body.
Moreover, I am not certain I could kill him. " Mo Santong and the others were slightly startled, not understanding why he valued Shen Mu so highly. "Xiao Tubo—that is this Jingping Overlord Body.
" Mahakala finally said the words that made their blood run cold, his expression strange. "He and I were both born in Youdu. I was born from Youdu's resentment, demonic nature, and demonic qi—the first demon god.
He was the first womb-born living being.
We both possess strange and extraordinary qualities. But in terms of innate nature, I am somewhat inferior to him. The strange thing is, he seems unable to control his power. His power seems to have developed its own consciousness. .
. " Heavenly Court, Repository Pavilion. The Dao Lord of the Heavenly Court's Daoist sect cut a piece of fine jade from the top floor of the Repository Pavilion, watched the jade pillar grow, and soon filled the gap.
The old Daoist shook his head, transported the jade bearing Yutianzun's brand downstairs, handed it to the visitor, and said, "Ancestral God King, what happened to the previous weapon?
" "It shattered.
" The visitor was a handsome man, his whole body radiating a blended white light, his pupils also pure white. He shook his head. "This weapon still has deficiencies. The Heavenly Duke's Dao is not perfect. I controlled this weapon to descend to the mortal realm, and it was shattered by the Overlord Body. " The old Daoist said in surprise, "The Overlord Body? " "Speaking of which, this Overlord Body is also a Heavenly Venerable.
" Ancestral God King's expression was strange.
"At the Jade Pool Gathering back then, I was congratulating the Heavenly Emperor on his enthronement, while he was causing havoc at the Jade Pool. Later, I saw the wounds left by his sword technique.
This time I recognized him from his sword technique. I never expected him to be the Longhan Overlord Body of those years, and even to have beaten that existence half to death.
.
. " He no longer mentioned that existence, and laughed. "This time I descended to the mortal realm to test the weapon because that old villain Mahakala invited me to deal with him. As a result, I lost a hand and had to make another.
Hahaha!
" He laughed heartily and patted the old Daoist on the shoulder.
"Why am I telling you all this? If you were not the Dao Lord, single-mindedly seeking the Dao and unconcerned with outside affairs, I would have killed you to silence you just for those few words. " The old Daoist lowered his brows and smiled without speaking. Ancestral God King said, "Send this treasure to the Creation Divine Artifact to make another weapon and send it to my palace. Also, are the Dao runes on the Heavenly Duke's side still not organized?
" The old Daoist shook his head. "Xuandu Heavenly Duke's physical body is too large; it is very difficult to fully map it. Moreover, the Heavenly Duke is too strong, and the gods stationed there do not dare to overstep.
" "The old man is indeed very strong, very robust, and his frame is so sturdy. " Ancestral God King strode away, saying leisurely, "But it will not be long before I replace him. I will personally make a trip to Xuandu and organize the remaining Dao runes.
" The old Daoist watched him leave.
Ancestral God King's voice, filled with joy, pierced his ears: "My father god, soon I will replace you, become you, surpass you. . .
" In the darkness, Dragon Qilin carried Shen Mu flying swiftly. All around was gloom, the road indistinguishable, north and south impossible to tell apart.
Dragon Qilin gradually lost his bearings, and panic rose in his heart.
This place was pure darkness; if he lost his way, it would be even harder to carry Shen Mu out of here within half a day. Shen Mu was still striving to recover his physical body, and said weakly, "Fat Dragon, fly upward, to the top of the sky. Follow the Sky Map.
" Dragon Qilin came to his senses, exhausted all his strength, and flew upward at his fastest speed. The half-day deadline drew nearer and nearer. Dragon Qilin raced like the wind, qilin fire beneath his feet, even lightning and thunder around his body, his speed pushed to the extreme.
Gradually, light appeared in the sky.
Dragon Qilin was overjoyed and approached the light. He saw that the sky was leaking, and the light was spilling down from the leak.
At the leak, a massive formation could be faintly seen—likely the moon in the Sky Map. The formation, running to this point, was twisted and distorted by the damaged part of the Sky Map, causing moonlight to scatter wildly in all directions.
When Shen Mu saw this moon, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood straight up.
Dragon Qilin's heart trembled. "Sect Master, are you still alive?
" Shen Mu tremblingly raised his hand, pointed at the twisted moon, and said in a shaky voice, "Ugly.
Change to another place. .
. " "Sect Master, be content with what you have! " Dragon Qilin carried him running toward the remnant of that moon, and said angrily, "If we don't leave the Mahakala Palace's territory soon, Mahakala will come out and kill you!
" Shen Mu still intended to die rather than submit, but Dragon Qilin had already carried him rushing into the Sky Map, entering the formation that radiated moonlight-like brilliance.
"I wonder if there are still Heavenly Court gods in this Sky Map?
" Dragon Qilin looked around cautiously and whispered, "With the celestial phenomena in chaos now, the gods the Heavenly Court stationed here should have fled long ago, right? " "Who is there?
" someone suddenly asked from behind the moonlight.
