The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
" The Great Sun Star Lord, wounded himself, said in furious exasperation. Yan Qianzhong roared in fury: "Within Youdu, his mana is inexhaustible! " Suddenly the third eyes of Shen Mu's three heads blazed together.
Beam after beam of light shot out in all directions, cutting and whirling with a hiss-hiss-hiss.
The crowd hurried to dodge, but still many were struck and sliced clean in two!
To have one's primal spirit severed was not like having one's body cut; once split, it was as though the soul itself had been slain—the soul scattered, leaving only the spirit fetus. Shen Fengqing's eyes went wide, and his heart ached for the loss.
He hastily whispered: "Little brother, good little brother, I truly cannot eat any more. Strike more slowly—do not kill them. .
.
Brother, you are the elder brother, stop killing. . .
" Shen Mu turned a deaf ear.
Suddenly, risking injury, he used the Kalpa-Lifting Sword in one move and cut down several in succession—while two of his own heads were hewn off and four of his arms severed! Flesh and blood surged at his shoulders, and two more heads grew out, fierce and malevolent.
Shen Fengqing's hands trembled as he gathered up the slain primal spirits, wanting to stuff them into his mouth, but he truly could not fit them. Suddenly a flash of inspiration came, and he said joyfully: "I have it!
I can store some provisions first! " So saying, he stuffed those battered primal spirits into the space between his brows.
Lord Heaven's clone and the Crimson Emperor's consciousness were watching the battle outside in extreme alarm when suddenly the sky split open and severed limbs and broken arms rained down, soon piling up on the ground. The two looked at each other.
Just then the Great Sun Star Lord was flung in and tumbled to the ground.
This Star Lord was also a primal spirit, and astonishingly he was not dead.
At once he beat his wings and flew toward the sky, intending to escape this place. Lord Heaven said kindly: "Little bird, do not run. Even we cannot escape, much less you.
How did you get in? " The Great Sun Star Lord was startled and only then noticed the two.
He hastily kowtowed: "Greetings, Lord Heaven! Lord Heaven, have you too been taken as provisions by the Divine Son of Youdu? " "Bah, bah—children's words carry no ill omen; great fortune and great prosperity.
" Lord Heaven laughed: "How could I be taken as provisions? I came here of my own will to deliver this demon, lest he bring disaster upon the common people.
How did you come to be here?
" The Great Sun Star Lord was deeply ashamed and said: "I was just now beaten senseless by the Divine Son of Youdu, and then that doll-faced one seized my two wings and stuffed me in here. It is indeed noble of Lord Heaven to spare the common people from his havoc—but why is he still able to run out and slaughter freely outside? " The white-bearded old man blew out his beard and glared, sneering: "Little bird, do you know how you died?
" The Great Sun Star Lord stammered: "I was loose-tongued, and I knew too many secrets, so I died for no apparent reason.
" Lord Heaven gave a snort and said mildly: "After death you at least still have your primal spirit. Speak nonsense again, and your soul will scatter.
" The Great Sun Star Lord assented meekly: "But will the Divine Son of Youdu not eat me all the same?
" Lord Heaven's clone laughed heartily: "I have been here a very long time.
The Divine Son of Youdu may have some ability, but so long as you stay with me, he will never eat you. " The Great Sun Star Lord was overjoyed.
The Crimson Emperor could not help saying: "Do not believe him. I believed him, and the result was that I was beaten I know not how many times.
" The Great Sun Star Lord said hastily: "And you are. .
.
? " "The Crimson Brightness Heavenly Court—the Crimson Emperor.
