364 Order of Heaven and Earth (1/2)
A ripple suddenly appeared in the thin air. Space was torn apart as a black bell flew out of the void.
”Dang!”
A loud ring sounded from the bell, resounding throughout the entire area. It shook the entire Chu Prefecture City.
With the bell appearing, a old man, wearing a black cloak with a stooped back, slowly walked out of a black mist. There was a thick aura of death being exuded from him.
”As I guessed, it is you, the Myriad Empyreal King.”
The Shepherd Boy looked at the black-cloaked person who had suddenly appeared, without any change in his expression.
However, when the warriors of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom in the Chu Prefecture City heard the title of Myriad Empyreal King they gasped.
Myriad Empyreal King...
Ten Thousand was a title, while Empyreal King was the name of the person's realm.
In fact, a lot of people in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom were not sure of what the names of the realms above the Sage realm were. Empyreal King was by no doubt in the realm of a Great Emperor. As for how strong he was amongst the Great Emperors, they had no idea.
Great Emperors were too mysterious for them.
”It is nice of you to remember me, hehe.” The black cloaked man insidiously smiled. He slowly lifted off the hood covering his head. With that, people saw a face that made them feel like vomiting.
The cloaked man's face was filled with wrinkles and scars. Most of his hair had fallen off, leaving behind only a few strands of hair. His neck, face and skin were all baggy. It looked like it were about to fall off due to rot.
The person in front of them looked as if he had crawled out from a grave. Such a look made people not want to take a second glance.
”He is still alive even in that state?”
The Tai Ah Divine City warriors were extremely alarmed. An old man's corpse that had begun to rot after a month would probably be in a better shape than he was.
”Of course I remember. I am just curious about how you are still alive. You cultivated the Ten Thousand Ghost Dao, to the point of going astray. And now, you are are in a state where you are neither ghost nor man… To carry on living like this requires a great deal of courage.”
The Shepherd Boy used a calm tone of voice to say what were obviously mocking and vicious words. However, the way he said it made people unable to detect the sarcasm, it sounded more like he was stating a general fact.
When people heard him, they shuddered. In this situation, with so many experts surrounding him, while situated inside such a large array, the Shepherd Boy was still able to calmly taunt his opponents.
The Myriad Empyreal King's face sank, ”Good! Good! Today, I want to see what qualifications you have to be so arrogant!”
”Attack!”
The Myriad Empyreal King was the first to make a move. He cried out in a strange way and a gigantic, blood-colored skeleton appeared behind him.
This blood-colored skeleton was a thousand feet tall. It looked like blood intertwined with the full moon!
”Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”
The blood-colored skeleton melted in the air, turning in a blood-colored sea. It reversed directions and swept towards the Myriad Empyreal King, and finally, the blood-colored sea completely merged with the Myriad Empyreal King's body.
In an instant, the Myriad Empyreal King's rotted body became blood-red. At that moment, he looked like a blood-colored Shura who had climbed out from Hell.
”The Aspect Totem entered his body!”
King Chu said with surprise five kilometers away. He did not know what realm merging one's Aspect Totem into one's body was, but he did remember that the Shepherd Boy had previously said, ”Your Aspect Totem has not even managed to enter your body… Your cultivation level is just so-so.”
Clearly, merging one's Aspect Totem into one's body was the goal of those peerless mighty existences.
The Myriad Empyreal King struck with a palm. The palm swept up a surging tidal wave of blood. One could also faintly see white bones within it, and one could also hear the ghastly wails of ghosts roar!
Against this tidal wave, the Shepherd Boy did not take one step back. He lightly flicked his green long sleeves and pressed down against the tidal wave with one palm.
A large green hand appeared out of thin air, one that could block out the sky!
”Boom!”
The blood wave dissipated into a bloody mist before it disappeared into the night sky. The Shepherd Boy did not retreat at all. His deep, black eyes saw through the blood mist and locked on to the Myriad Empyreal King, ”You are already half a step into the netherworld. Since you do not have the courage to take that final step, let me send you on your way!”
The Myriad Empyreal King looked at him ferociously as he roared, ”What are you waiting for!? Activate the large array and join forces to kill him!”
”Right, attack! We have so many people, and he still has injuries. He will definitely be no match for us!”
”Without the Primitive Sacred Desolate Beast at his command, he is nothing to fear!”
Several legendary experts attacked together. At the same time, the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array beneath them started to emit a ghastly blue light. A visible energy shield then encased this part of the world!
The Heaven Earth Empyreal Array was an array that countered the Desolate race. Once the array was activated, there would be a closed domain spanning the radius of 5 kilometers. In this domain, the Power of Desolates would be greatly reduced.
The Power of Desolates was the source of the Desolate race's energy. Now, whenever theShepherd Boy used an attack, he had to exert a force to counter the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array!
To resist the array and face off against the attacks of so many people alone, it would naturally be very disadvantageous for the Shepherd Boy!
However, even though this was the case, the Shepherd Boy still had to enter the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array. That was because Yi Yun was sealed within the heart of the great array by the Shentu family clan!
A few legends of the Shentu family clan attacked together. In an instant, the beams of Aspect Totems lit up the dark sky. Terrifying Heaven Earth Yuan Qi condensed together to form a gushing divine fountain!
In the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array, the strength of humans would not be reduced, it would instead increase!
”With the ten of us joining forces, you will definitely turn to dust!”
A few of the Shentu family clan's legends set up a battle array, which increased their strength. The force from one strike was earth-shattering!
The Shepherd Boy however transcended them. His expression did not flinch at all, for there was no sadness or happiness in it.
He bathed in the moonlight of the nine heavens, as if he was a god that had descended from the heavens.
He made his move. No one saw how he attacked, all they saw was a green flash that looked like a green, hundred thousand feet waterfall, traversing the starry sky.
”Ah!”
A legendary expert of the Shentu family clan, who was previously antagonizing, suddenly let out a scream. It was as if he had hit a mountain at high speed. He flew backward, his sternum and ribs on both sides now completely shattered. His chest sank inwards as his organs ruptured! He spat blood out from his mouth!
”What!?”
The Shepherd Boy managed to counterattack even when alone against the ten legends' combined efforts. At the same time, he had seriously injured one of them!
Furthermore, this was within the Heaven Earth Empyreal Array. In this array, his strength was greatly reduced!
”Elder Sun!”
A legendary expert of the Shentu family clan turned around to save the old man. However, at that moment, a silk like strand of a green beam flashed past his body. This strand was clearly condensed of extreme amounts of energy. It cut through thin air at an incredulous speed.
”Puah!”
Blood dyed the sky as the heavily injured legendary expert’s head flew out. His neck had been split apart just like the thin air!
Injuring all of a man's fingers was not as effective as merely chopping one off. The Shepherd Boy knew that this battle today would not be easy. So his goal was not to heavily injure the enemy, but to kill them!
