荒墟牧神 - 第745章 波濤劍影似虯 - 雲海書庫

heavy gateway suddenly appeared on the sea's surface; the gateway whirled with a shriek, sweeping across demigod after demigod. The crowd cried out, about to flee, when suddenly their souls plunged into the Dark Capital, and they became corpses sinking into the sea. Heavenly Lord Hao's pupils shrank sharply. There beneath the water Shen Mu's head emerged; his body rose slowly, and even in the sea he was still walking, unhurried, toward him. Shen Mu's figure rose higher and higher, emerging once more upon the surface of the sea. "You are not Heavenly Lord Yu. Heavenly Lord Yu had no such terrifying powers..." Heavenly Lord Hao backed away, staring at Shen Mu. The other demigods came killing, one breathing great fire, one shooting divine light from his eyes, one using his own feathers as swords and blades — but to Shen Mu these primitive arts were far too crude. Before these arts could even reach him, the masters of those arts had been cut down beneath his blade and slain beneath his sword. In this age, there was no art worthy of his regard. Even if one possessed the strength of a god, in his eyes such arts were riddled with flaws; the moment the other made his move, death was certain. He walked on. Heavenly Lord Hao fled, teeth clenched, and cried out shrilly, "I know who you are! Heavenly Lord Mu..." He fled onto a divine mountain and cried aloud, "Heavenly Lord Mu means to kill me!" The sea turtle that bore the divine mountain turned its body, looked at Shen Mu coming step by step, and said in a heavy voice: "Heavenly Lord Yu, your powers may be vast, but this is the Jade Pool. Do you know who Heavenly Lord Hao's birth mother is? If you knew..." Shen Mu raised his hand; beneath the sea countless streaks of sword-light went speeding this way and that. The old turtle flew into a rage and sneered, "A grain of rice, and you dare shine before the sun..." "Unseal the Kalpa—" A column of sword-light, blazing like a pillar, more than ten li long, shot out from behind the sea island and ran the old turtle at the prow through the brow. The divine mountain sank. Shen Mu recalled his sword; the sword-light became a sphere, rolling swiftly across the surface of the sea. As the divine mountain sank, Heavenly Lord Hao sprang up at once and fled. Runes flurried around Shen Mu; his body flickered and vanished, closing the distance between them. Suddenly an obscure, dark aura came, setting the surrounding space trembling without cease. Heavenly Lord Hao was overjoyed and cried aloud, "Mother!" Shen Mu's pupils shrank. He pointed a finger, and the sword orb's speed abruptly increased more than tenfold; all his magic power, all his essence, qi, and spirit were poured into that one sword. He would slay Heavenly Lord Hao before that being of incomparable power could descend. — A few minutes late, and this chapter is a little longer as well, three thousand seven hundred words.
