Chapter 1513 — We Are One Family, After All
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
He subjugated Heavenly Lord Gong and the Ancestral God King, and with the aid of Heavenly Lord Fire and Heavenly Lord Void, he was like a tiger with wings—the most powerful faction among the Ten Heavenly Lords!
Yet even in the Battle of Xuandu he had not shown all his assets. Taisu's innate companion treasure could take the form of any other treasure, or transform into a Creation Artifact. Having obtained this supreme treasure, while the other Heavenly Lords attacked and plotted against one another, ignoring him, he seized the opportunity to bring out all his wealth and refine it into one Artifact Heavenly Lord after another!
Shi Qiluo, wounded and knowing her life was in danger, flung the two Dao fruits from her hand, and they flew toward Consort Yan. Consort Yan raised her hand and caught both.
The instant they landed in her palm, the five Heavenly Lords—Hao, Fire, Void, Gong, and the Ancestral God King—had already gravely wounded Divine Emperor Langxuan and now closed in on her from both sides. Behind her, the two Taiji Ancient Gods merged and drove the Taiji Sand Table.
In one fleeting moment, the power of this innate companion treasure was raised to the peak by the two ancient gods; yin and yang generated each other and merged into one as Taiji.
The Way of Taiji surged; ten thousand Ways were born; ten thousand things were born! In that instant it was as if a world was born from the sand table—sun and moon, stars and constellations, the Starry River ablaze, the Great Dao flourishing!
Just then, a great bell rose slowly behind Heavenly Lord Hao and crashed with a thunderous peal against the Taiji Sand Table. It was precisely Taisu's innate companion treasure.
This treasure had no fixed form, yet it could assume any form. At this moment it had become a great bell of the Starry River. Its outer wall was etched with birds, beasts, insects, fish, and all manner of sacred figures; its inner wall was wrapped with the stars and starry rivers of all heavens.
When the great bell collided with the Taiji Sand Table, its power could not prevail, and it burst apart! In the instant the bell shattered, the Way of Taisu condensed, and the broken bell became a great tripod. Chaotic qi swirled beneath the tripod and bore it aloft, smashing it into the Taiji Sand Table. At the same time, the five Heavenly Lords arrived together, each unleashing his most ferocious strike upon the Taiji Sand Table.
The Taiji Ancient Gods were shaken and involuntarily split into two; one to the left, one to the right, they sped away with Consort Yan toward the outer city.
Heavenly Lord Hao's Myriad-Dao Heavenly Wheel flew from his hand. With a tearing hiss, Consort Yan lost an arm, and in the palm of that severed arm was clutched a Dao fruit. Consort Yan fled wounded with the other Dao fruit. The five lords gave chase, but suddenly the two Taiji Ancient Gods drew their hands through the air; heaven and earth spun wildly, and space revolved like a Taiji Diagram.
The five lords hastily halted, crushed the Taiji Diagram to pieces, and looked up—the two Taiji Ancient Gods and Consort Yan had vanished without a trace. "No need to pursue.
" Heavenly Lord Hao picked up Consort Yan's severed arm and smiled. "After all, we are all among the Ten Heavenly Lords. We are bound to meet again soon enough, and some day we may still have use for them.
There is no need to destroy them utterly. " Heavenly Lord Fire, Heavenly Lord Gong, and the others came to a halt. Heavenly Lord Fire stepped forward, picked up the Dao flower, hung it on the Dao tree, then lifted the Dao tree of the Primordial Sage of the Miluo Palace and bore it before Heavenly Lord Hao. Hao watched him with great interest, and only when he saw the tree and flower brought before him did he smile.
"Your loyalty is commendable. " Heavenly Lord Fire bowed and stood in attendance.
