n King God in a fierce battle. The Blind Elder "saw" Shen Mu rushing down from above toward Lord Dragon-Rearer and could not help cursing his audacity. He hurriedly bent a finger and flicked it. Shen Mu was still in midair when a gust of finger force struck him between the brows. Three thunderous booms immediately rang out inside his body. The Spirit Embryo, Five Luminaries, and Six Universes divine treasuries opened one after another, and his magic power returned to him. Shen Mu was overjoyed. Along the riverbank, the Blind Elder attacked furiously, fighting the Flood Dragon King God with all his might so that Shen Mu would not be killed by a single sweep of its tail. "I sealed your divine treasuries, and you still dare to behave so recklessly! You little wretch. How come you never showed such vigor when you were consummating your marriage?" The Blind Elder's brows and hair flew wildly as he truly lost his temper. The Flood Dragon King God brought down a dragon claw, but the Blind Elder repeatedly tapped it with his bamboo staff. The claw's muscles and bones were instantly thrown into disorder, leaving it unable to exert its strength. The Blind Elder thrust his staff forward. The river spun and surged, transforming into a great spear that stabbed straight toward the Flood Dragon King God's heart, forcing the creature to rise into the air and evade the blow. Splat! Before the river could close, Shen Mu plunged headfirst into the mud at the bottom. A world-shaking crash followed as the waters converged, the vast torrents colliding with terrifying force. Towering waves surged and rolled eastward. At the bottom of the river, Shen Mu held his breath, but the crushing pressure of the converging waters nearly killed him. His chest felt as though it were about to burst, and his head rang incessantly. After a moment, Shen Mu recovered and crawled out of the silt. Moving through the water like a fish, he reached the enormous crater where Lord Dragon-Rearer lay. The Yong River was carrying mud and sand along its course, piling it up and already burying half of Lord Dragon-Rearer's body. Shen Mu swam to his side and saw rotten flesh scattered everywhere. Even the divine blood had been crushed and was being washed away by the river. In that short time, more than half the blood within Lord Dragon-Rearer's body had already been carried off. A god's body was incredibly heavy. Even a powerful cultivator of the Divine Bridge Realm would have difficulty carrying one, so although Lord Dragon-Rearer lay here, the river could not wash him away. Though the divine blood within him was nearly drained, his head was still writhing, and two dragon horns had already emerged. Shen Mu immediately reached out and began feeling around wildly, both hands racing over Lord Dragon-Rearer's body as he searched back and forth. "Where is the True Dragon's Nest? Where did he hide it..." Crack. The split in Lord Dragon-Rearer's forehead widened further, and waves of divine might radiated from the opening. Shen Mu's heart jolted when he saw half of a dragon's head emerge. He swiftly swam to Lord Dragon-Rearer's bare forehead, drew the Wuyou Sword, activated his three divine treasuries, stirred up his vital energy, and drove the sword down with all his might. With a clang, the Wuyou Sword struck a dragon scale and was sent flying upward, leaving a sword mark across the scale. Shen Mu raised his hand and thrust again. After more than ten successive blows, he finally pierced the scale. He pulled the sword free and drove it downward, twisting it with all his strength. Half the blade sank into Lord Dragon-Rearer's forehead. Then Shen Mu produced a massive iron hammer and brought it down on the hilt. Clang, clang, clang! He hammered for a long while, finally driving the Wuyou Sword completely into Lord Dragon-Rearer's skull. The sword pinned Lord Dragon-Rearer's old skin to the body that was about to emerge from it. The dragon head no longer dared to writhe violently, seemi
