Chapter 1511 — Nine Honored Lords Save the Youth
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
The nine Heavenly Lords entered the city. The sights they met along the way were much the same as those Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun had seen, but they were far mightier than Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun; even when they encountered the wind of heat-death, they did not deign to avoid it — and at once each of the nine Heavenly Lords suffered a heavy loss! Having dodged the wind of heat-death, the nine Heavenly Lords next came upon a withered Dao Tree.
They did not know that the tree must not be touched. The Ancestral God King had barely touched the Dao Tree when he sensed a profound thought-force invading his mind, and he hurried to resist it. "A demon tree dares to harm me?
" This God King flew into a rage.
He uprooted the withered Dao Tree and blasted it with one great heavenly-dao divine ability after another, shattering countless dead branches. Yet the uncanny great Dao hidden within that tree struck back, and the Ancestral God King was wounded for his trouble.
The other Heavenly Lords were aghast.
"Ancestral God King, this is a Dao Tree — it cannot be fought head-on!
" Consort Qiang summoned the two divine blades from the God-Slaying Platform of the Ancestral Court.
The blades wove and crossed in a slashing arc, and with a thunderous roar the Dao Tree was cut in two. She said, "In all this world, the only one who ever forged a Dao Tree was the Grand Emperor, that invincible being — undying and indestructible, long-lived and eternally youthful, coexisting with heaven and earth. And the only one who can slay a Dao Tree is I! " Then, from the place where the Dao Tree had been severed, crimson blood came flowing out of the trunk.
The blood was suffused with a rosy radiance, and the radiance flew up to cut down the assembled lords! Each of the nine Heavenly Lords struck out to resist, wiping the radiance away, and inwardly they were startled.
Even they found the radiance somewhat taxing to face.
"How did Lord Mu ever find such an uncanny place?
" They wiped out the radiance and were about to collect the withered Dao Tree when they saw its trunk and branches dissolve at incredible speed, vanishing without a trace in moments, leaving nothing behind.
Only countless Dao patterns flew out in all directions, merging into heaven and earth, making the spiritual qi here so dense it pressed upon them, as though this were a holy land. "How bizarre!
" The nine Heavenly Lords pressed on. As for Consort Qiang's two God-Slaying Mystic Blades, they too were secretly on their guard; those two divine blades could cut even a Dao Tree with ease, and could well be called the most vicious weapons under heaven — slaying them would likely be no trouble at all.
The others kept their guard up against Consort Qiang.
Before long, they came upon uncanny ghosts rising from the chaos qi, spitting out the wind of cold stillness. Fortunately they were prepared; the group dodged the wind of cold stillness, and the Divine Emperor Langxuan pointed a finger and slew the uncanny ghosts outright! With the nine Heavenly Lords joining hands, they were all but invincible, and they forged their way through.
Before long they came upon the strange forest formed by the withered Dao Trees, and at the sight of it, even they, Heavenly Lords though they were, could not help but draw a sharp breath. "That Lord Mu actually found such a bizarre place — he cannot be allowed to live! " the Heavenly Lords said with one voice.
Then their gazes fell upon the Pixiang Hall. This majestic hall now stood in utter ruin; the various seals around it were tattered and broken, seven or eight parts undone. The hall had now been pierced through by a Dao Tree, and upon that Dao Tree hung a Dao Fruit.
The Dao Fruit was ruined, hanging before the gate, riddled with holes from the seals.
And within the Dao Fruit was a woman, naked, already dead inside it. "A pity, a pity. " The Divine Emperor Langxuan shook his head and sighed.
