The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
In a heavenly palace in Youdu I saw tens of thousands of demon-gods left as empty husks. Their primordial spirits must have been eaten by you. " "You mean that?
" The big-headed baby laughed: "You're so dumb.
You just breathe in.
" Shen Mu stared, dumbstruck. He blurted: "You just breathe in? Has it never once occurred to you to think about the principle of it?
Which dao arts do you employ in that one breath?
Which of the most fundamental runes do you call upon? " The big-headed baby looked entirely blank. Shen Mu sighed, and said bleakly: "Brother, your innate gifts are too great — so great that a divine power is yours in every gesture. I am not your equal. Every power of mine I have had to puzzle out for myself, to comprehend for myself. That is why I always like to ponder the principle within a thing, the dao arts and divine powers it employs, the fundamental runes within it.
The divine powers and the rules of the great dao of Youdu are contained in the script of Youdu; you know how a thing is done, but not why it is so. " He walked forward, his body growing taller and taller, larger and larger.
Two of his six arms were given over to Shen Fengqing's control, while he controlled the other four. He spread his four arms as though to embrace heaven and earth and the whole universe, and said with a smile: "Brother, come and see the Youdu divine power I have comprehended.
" Upon the Primordial Continent beneath Tu Bo's feet, the thickest and darkest demonic qi surged and came rushing madly toward him, and within that surging dark there was lightning and thunder. "Kill!
" A roar like thunder came from the opposing ranks, and at once countless demon-god primordial spirits poured forth, gold sabers and iron horses, surging like a great flood; in an instant countless divine powers lit up Jade Lock Pass, and behind the light of those powers came countless godly and demonic weapons, battered yet still possessed of their might!
The big-headed baby grew feverish with excitement and was about to make his move, when suddenly Shen Mu turned, and his first face opened its mouth, and from it came the strange, profound divine tongue of Youdu. With a rush — the countless demon-gods hurtling forward suddenly went tumbling, like white-crested waves, and what tumbled was numberless white bones. These demon-gods, already dead, had carried their own corpses to Youdu and lodged their primordial spirits within them; and now, in that instant, the flesh of countless demon-gods rotted at a horrifying speed! Because they came on at such speed, the bones too went tumbling and pitching forward, until they formed a white wave of bone thousands of li long!
Shen Mu's other face turned, and drew a long breath in, while the first face still murmured its incantation. Countless primordial spirits came flying out of that surf of white bone; numberless divine powers and godly and demonic weapons slipped their control and burst again and again in midair, and the battered weapons flew wildly in every direction.
Those primordial spirits numbered in the hundreds of thousands, pouring in all at once, beyond all control!
Shen Mu turned: "Brother, your turn! " The big-headed baby, frantic with excitement beyond measure, opened his mouth and swallowed like a whale, taking hundreds of thousands of demon-god primordial spirits in a single gulp. Shen Mu turned once more and raised his palm, and countless godly and demonic weapons came to a halt in the sky. He stepped forward, and the countless weapons in the air moved forward with him, pressing on toward the enemy.
