Chapter 900 — Supreme of the Yuan Realm

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 1 of 3

Mother Earth Yuanjun gave them no chance to reminisce. The ancient god turned the Yuan Wood around, and the sphere formed by its roots, like a great hammer, slammed heavily into the chest of the still-startled Heavenly Venerable Yu. Heavenly Venerable Yu tumbled and rolled, crashing into the barrier of the Yuan Realm, like a stone skipping across water, bounced up and dropped by the world's barrier.

The force of that blow was too great, and Heavenly Venerable Yu was too strong as well, smashing the Yuan Realm's barrier open with huge holes. These holes were like wounds on the Yuan Realm; the spatial barrier was slowly healing, but for a time it could not fully recover.

Mother Earth Yuanjun let out a screeching cry, raising two fingers. From the sphere formed by the Yuan Wood's roots, countless roots shot out like dragons, hissing as they pierced through the wounds on Heavenly Venerable Yu's body!

Shen Mu had said this was her only chance, so she would never let it slip by.

No matter what, she had to kill Heavenly Venerable Yu while he was gravely wounded. If she could not, then she would be the one to die!

"Yuan Magnetism Without Measure! "

The Yuan Wood roots passed through the sword wounds on Heavenly Venerable Yu's body and emerged from his back.

Yuan magnetism burst from the roots, carrying dazzling divine light, merging with the Yuan Wood roots as one.

Countless roots wove back and forth, lifting Heavenly Venerable Yu up, crisscrossing in the starry sky, flowing back into the root sphere, forming a massive "∞" symbol.

Shen Mu looked toward those roots and saw that the Yuan magnetism runes on the Yuan Wood roots had formed countless halos, rotating around the roots, while the roots, carrying these Yuan magnetism runes, continued to weave back and forth, returning to the great root sphere. The power of Yuan magnetism was extremely strong, carrying away the vital essence from Heavenly Venerable Yu's physical body, doing all it could to weaken him. The terrifying divine power of Yuan magnetism crushed the Great Dao runes within Heavenly Venerable Yu's body, inflicting immeasurable damage to both his physical body and his primordial spirit.

In the past, the Heavenly Venerable Yu who descended to the lower realm were merely test subjects used by the Heavenly Court's supremes, their cultivation only at the Divine Bridge Realm. But this time, the Heavenly Venerable Yu who descended had Heavenly Venerable Hao's primordial spirit residing within.

Mother Earth Yuanjun's divine abilities and the Yuan Wood's power were too strong, causing immense damage to his primordial spirit as well. One after another, the heavens were forcibly dragged over by the terrifying Yuan magnetism divine light, crashing down upon Heavenly Venerable Yu with thunderous booms. Such pressure would easily crush any existence at the Throne Realm!

"Venerable Mu, Mother Earth, you have underestimated the Heavenly Court as a realm! "

Behind Heavenly Venerable Yu, the majestic Heavenly Court appeared—heavenly palaces and jeweled halls, resplendent in gold. His power erupted.

The runes constantly rotating on the Yuan Wood roots suddenly halted, the roots stopped flowing, and the "∞" symbol formed by the roots suddenly unfurled, transforming into a great circle. And the heavens that had been suppressing his body were also moving away one by one. Then, the Yuan magnetism runes on the roots began to flow in reverse.

The vital essence that Mother Earth had just seized was actually flowing back into his body!

Mother Earth Yuanjun let out an unending long cry. More roots shot out from the Yuan Wood root sphere, and roots of incredible thickness even pierced into Heavenly Venerable Yu's Heavenly Court, toppling palace after palace, attempting to destroy the heavenly palaces. The trunk and crown of the Yuan Wood occupied only one-tenth of the true Yuan Wood.

Mother Earth Yuanjun's greatest strength was still her roots.

Her figure was also approaching Heavenly Venerable Yu, the Yuan Wood flying behind her. In the tree crown, Shen Mu suddenly leaped, jumping out from the bird's nest. His figure was surrounded by countless rapidly rotating teleportation runes, transforming into a faint streak of light, flying toward the "wound" in the Yuan Realm's ever-contracting spatial barrier. "Venerable Mu, I have waited a million years for you!

"

From Heavenly Venerable Yu's mouth came a voice that seemed both laughing and crying: "A million years ago, you held the advantage of the latecomer, using divine abilities from a million years later to deal with me—that is why I lost to you!

But a million years later, I hold the advantage of the earlycomer. I have a million years of wisdom, a million years of time to repair and perfect the Heavenly Court!

"

As Shen Mu fell, he looked back and saw those two terrifying gods fighting at close quarters. Behind Heavenly Venerable Yu, within the majestic Heavenly Court, inside palace after palace and hall after hall, faceless gods stood, like lords of heavenly palaces, like great emperors. "Heavenly Venerable Hao has immersed himself in the Heavenly Court realm for so long; he truly possesses inconceivable power.

"

Shen Mu accelerated his fall, thinking: "However, he has already been gravely wounded, and Mother Earth has seized the initiative. If he fought to the death, he might still be able to kill Mother Earth, but he is a man who cherishes his life—so it was a million years ago, and so it is a million years later.

For the sake of his position in the Heavenly Court, he will certainly not allow himself to be too badly damaged; he will surely abandon Mother Earth and return to the Heavenly Court.

Until his wounds heal, he will not make any major moves. "

The Yuan Realm's barrier healed, and his figure disappeared into the Yuan Realm. Meanwhile, beyond the heavens, those two incomparably terrifying existences were still battling.

Their divine abilities even repeatedly tore open the sky of the Yuan Realm, letting the beings of the lower realm see the terrifying figures of those two existences, awed by the power they displayed.

As the battle raged beyond the heavens, Mother Earth's wounds grew ever more severe, and gradually she began to feel her strength failing. "Venerable Mu, what should I do next? " Her thoughts rippled, and only then did she realize that Shen Mu was no longer in the tree crown. Mother Earth felt somewhat panicked. Shen Mu's guidance had allowed her to escape her passive position, but now she was at a disadvantage again, and Shen Mu had vanished without a trace, causing a thrill of mortal terror to rise in her heart.

Yet even more terrified than her was Heavenly Venerable Hao. After all, Mother Earth had already lost everything, while he still possessed everything. His position in the Heavenly Court was too high—so high that he could not allow himself to suffer too much damage, lest the other supremes of the Heavenly Court gladly seize his authority! And if he continued to fight head-on, he would face this bitter consequence.

However, if he could not eliminate Mother Earth, it would also be a tremendous blow to his prestige.

Until now, no supreme from the Heavenly Court had descended to help him. Even Heavenly Venerable Huo, who had once been his shadow, had not come down to assist. Those in the Heavenly Court who usually treated him like a bosom friend now seemed to be waiting for an opportunity—an opportunity that made his blood run cold. Just then, a face appeared beyond the heavens—the face of another Heavenly Venerable Yu. Heavenly Venerable Hao was delighted, then startled. That Heavenly Venerable Yu did not attack, but merely watched from afar, a smile on his face.

"Does Your Majesty need help?

" that Heavenly Venerable Yu asked with a smile. Hearing this voice, Heavenly Venerable Hao immediately knew which supreme of the Heavenly Court this person was. The Yuan Realm.

Shen Mu landed and looked around.
