Heaven and Earth Order
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void, space cracked open, and a large black bell slowly flew out from the void.
"Clang--"
A resounding bell rang throughout the heavens and earth, shaking the entire Chuzhou City.
Appearing alongside the large bell was an elderly man with a hunched back, dressed in a black cloak. He was shrouded in a black mist, and as he slowly emerged, he brought with him a thick aura of death.
"The Myriad Ghosts Emperor, it really is you."
The Shepherd Boy stared expressionlessly at the suddenly appearing figure in the black cloak.
The warriors of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom in Chuzhou City all gasped when they heard the title of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor.
The Myriad Ghosts Emperor...
"Ten Thousand Ghosts" is an official title, while "Emperor" is the title of the person's cultivation level.
In fact, many people in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom did not know what the titles of those above the level of sages were. The Emperor was undoubtedly within the category of Great Emperor, but they did not know how strong he was among the Great Emperor.
The Great Emperor was too mysterious to them.
"It's kind of you to remember me, hehe." The man in the black cloak chuckled sinisterly, slowly lifting the hood from his head, revealing a face that made them want to vomit.
The cloaked man's face was covered with wrinkles and scars, and he had almost lost all his hair, leaving only a few strands. The skin on his neck and cheeks was loose and sagging, giving the impression that he was about to rot and fall off.
The person before me looked as if he had just crawled out of his grave; his appearance was so striking that one glance was enough to deter anyone from looking at him a second time.
"He's in this state, and he's still alive?"
The warriors of Tai'a Divine City were all astonished. If an old man's body had been left to decompose for a month, it probably wouldn't have looked much worse than it does now.
"Of course I remember. It's just strange that you're still alive. You cultivated the Myriad Ghosts Dao. You practiced an ancient evil technique Going into demonic possession, now you're neither human nor ghost... It takes a lot of courage for you to continue living like this."
What were clearly sarcastic and malicious words, spoken by the Shepherd Boy in a calm tone, sounded devoid of sarcasm, rather like a statement of an indisputable fact.
People listened with trepidation. Under such circumstances, surrounded by so many experts and trapped in a large formation, the Shepherd Boy could still calmly mock his opponents.
The Myriad Ghosts Emperor' face darkened. "Fine! Fine! I'll see today what gives you the right to be so arrogant!"
"Make your move!"
The Myriad Ghosts Emperor was the first to make a move. He let out a strange howl, and a huge Blood-colored Skeleton appeared out of thin air behind his aged body.
This Blood-colored Skeleton was over a hundred feet tall, resembling a full moon stained with blood!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The Blood-colored Skeleton melted in the void, transforming into a vast, crimson ocean that swept towards the Myriad Ghosts Emperor. Ultimately, this crimson ocean completely merged into the Myriad Ghosts Emperor's body.
In an instant, the once decaying body of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor turned blood red. At this moment, he resembled Blood Rakshasa crawling out of the underworld.
"The Dharma Aspect Totem enters the body!"
Ten miles away, the Prince Chu exclaimed in surprise. He didn't know the level of cultivation represented by the Dharma Aspect Totem entering the body, but he remembered what the Shepherd Boy had said earlier—"The Dharma Aspect Totem failed to enter the body... so your cultivation is nothing more than this."
Clearly, the possession of Dharma Aspect Totem and totems is one of the hallmarks of those extraordinary beings.
The Myriad Ghosts Emperor unleashed a palm strike, which stirred up a surging wave of blood. Within that wave, one could faintly see white bones floating and sinking, accompanied by eerie ghostly wails!
Facing the giant wave, the Shepherd Boy did not retreat an inch. He gently flicked the hem of his blue robe and pressed his palm down against the wave.
A massive cyan hand appeared out of thin air, its sole force covering the sky!
"Boom!"
The blood wave dissipated, turning into countless blood mists that vanished into the night sky. The Shepherd Boy did not retreat an inch; his deep, dark eyes pierced through the blood mist, locking onto the Myriad Ghosts Emperor: "You are already one foot in the Yellow Springs. Since you lack the courage to take that step, then I will send you on your way!"
The Myriad Ghosts Emperor's voice was ferocious. He roared, "What are you waiting for? Activate the formation and join forces to kill him!"
"Yes, let's attack! There are so many of us, and he's injured. He's no match for us!"
"Without Primordial Sacred Beast to command, he is nothing to fear!"
Several renowned experts attacked together, and at the same time, the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation beneath them emitted a dark blue light, forming a visible energy shield that enveloped the entire area!
The Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation is an Absolute Kill the Desolate Clan. Once activated, this formation will create a sealed domain within a ten-mile radius, where the Savage Power will be greatly weakened.
The Savage Power is the original power of the wilderness clan. Now, every time the Shepherd Boy uses a move, he is simultaneously resisting the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation!
Trying to withstand the formation alone, while also facing the combined attack of so many people, is naturally extremely disadvantageous for the Shepherd Boy!
Knowing this, the Shepherd Boy had no choice but to enter the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, because Yi Yun had been sealed at the heart of the formation by the Shentu Family!
Several prominent members of the Shentu Family joined forces, and in an instant, the light of the Dharma Aspect Totem illuminated the night with dazzling colors. The terrifying Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi condensed together, forming a gushing divine spring!
Within this Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, the power of the human race will not only not be weakened, but will be enhanced by the formation!
"With the combined attack of the ten of us, you will be utterly annihilated!"
Several prominent Shentu Family formed a battle formation to amplify their power, resulting in a single, earth-shattering attack!
The Shepherd Boy, dressed in blue, stood proudly between heaven and earth, his expression unwavering, his face devoid of sorrow or joy.
He was bathed in the moonlight from the heavens, like a god descending from the sky.
He made his move, but no one saw how he did it; a flash of blue light, like a ten-thousand-foot-long blue ribbon, stretched across the starry sky.
"Ah!"
The esteemed member of the Shentu Family, who had just been shouting loudly, suddenly let out a scream. It was as if he had crashed into a mountain at high speed; he was sent flying backward, his sternum and ribs completely shattered. His chest caved in, his internal organs were broken, and he coughed up blood profusely!
"What!?"
The combined power of the ten legendary masters was defeated by the Shepherd Boy alone, who also severely injured one of them!
This is within the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, where his power will be greatly weakened!
Elder Sun!
A renowned member of the Shentu Family turned to save the old man, and just then, a thin, thread-like blue light flashed past him. This thread was clearly energy condensed to its extreme, and it sliced through the void at an incredible speed.
"Puff!"
Blood stained the sky as the severely wounded master's head flew off, his neck severed along with the void by the thin line!
It's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. The Shepherd Boy knew very well that today's battle would not be easy; his goal was not to severely injure his opponent, but to kill him!
As the head was tossed high into the air, everyone was stunned.
For the warriors of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, this was a battle completely beyond their comprehension.
As for the Shentu Family, they were also filled with fear.
Shentu Nantian had already retreated far away by this time. He was still a junior and far from qualified to get involved in such a battle.
He watched helplessly as Elder Sun was killed by the Shepherd Boy, and he couldn't even tell how the Shepherd Boy had done it!
"How could this be?" Shentu Nantian frowned. He had clearly set up the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, so why did it seem to have no effect on the Shepherd Boy at all?
"Don't panic, we can't possibly lose if we join forces! He must have broken through the formation's restraints with brute force just now, which must have been extremely exhausting for him!"
A prominent figure from the Shentu Family remarked that he didn't believe the Shepherd Boy could turn the tide under such circumstances.
Now, as long as we keep the morale of the troops stable, and everyone works together, proceeding step by step, we can wear down the Shepherd Boy very quickly!
Just as the old master finished speaking, his vision blurred, and a figure appeared before him like a ghost, as if a vast expanse of green smoke had gathered there.
The Shepherd Boy appeared before the old man with an indifferent expression and struck down with a palm!
What!?
The old man was terrified. When he spoke, he was also fully alert to his surroundings. There was no fluctuation of spatial energy. The Shepherd Boy moved hundreds of feet across the void in an instant with ghostly speed, which was completely beyond his reaction limit!
Facing the Shepherd Boy, this terrifying man from the wild tribe, the old man felt as if death himself had descended; the oppressive feeling and fear were indescribable!
Even though he had spoken with great confidence and made perfect sense before, at this moment his hair stood on end and his face turned ashen.
It's absolutely terrifying, unparalleled!
In a flash, the old man knew that escape was impossible. He roared and, ignoring the Shepherd Boy's palm strike, channeled all his energy and slashed at the Shepherd Boy's chest with his sword!
He was willing to risk his life for his life!
Unable to withstand the Shepherd Boy's attack, this was the only way to force Shepherd Boy to retreat and defend!
However, the Shepherd Boy remained expressionless, and his palm still fell unstoppably.
Fighting for one's life?
The Shepherd Boy, who had spent his life roaming the desolate wilderness and looking down upon the world, why would he risk his life against an elder of the Shentu Family?
"Boom!"
With a single palm strike, the old man's chest was struck squarely. The old man's body shrank violently, and even the surrounding space collapsed. His sternum shattered into pieces, his heart exploded, and his lungs burst open, splattering a large amount of blood all over his body.
However, when the old man's knife came down, the Shepherd Boy was nowhere to be seen!
He retreated several dozen feet away with an air of nonchalance, his blue robes fluttering, his demeanor unparalleled. Not a single drop of blood stained his body, not even his hands, which were as smooth and lustrous as jade, as if the palm strike he had just delivered had not been made by him at all.
The second legend has perished!!
Several miles away, Shentu Nantian's face turned pale. How could this be? Even ten years ago, when the Shepherd Boy was at his peak, he wasn't this strong even without the Sacred Howl's combat power boost!
Ten years ago, it was said that the battle was between the Shepherd Boy and the Old Ancestor Shentu, but in fact, it was the Sacred Howl that was fighting, and the Shepherd Boy only played a supporting role.
At that time, the Shepherd Boy was no match for Old Ancestor Shentu.
The Sacred Howl, was a sacred beast owned by the Netherworld Desolate God. It had little to do with the Shepherd Boy; it was merely lent to him.
Therefore, in Shentu Nantian's impression, the Shepherd Boy's strength was equivalent to that of an early-stage Great Emperor.
Shentu Nantian was not afraid of such strength, because the Myriad Ghosts Emperor, who was hiding in the shadows and following him this time, had already surpassed this level.
With the aid of the grand formation, everything is foolproof.
But things took an unexpected turn!
The Shepherd Boy, unbelievably strong.
Logically speaking, it's unlikely that someone at the level of Shepherd Boy could increase their strength so much in just ten years!
Could it be that something unexpected happened to the Shepherd Boy during those ten years?
Even if something unexpected happened, Shentu Nantian couldn't understand how the Shepherd Boy could disregard the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation.
Or is it true, as the deceased elder of the Shentu Family said, that the Shepherd Boy actually forcibly gathered power to break the confinement of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation? As a result, every time he made a move, he would consume a lot of physical strength and become weak very quickly!
If that's the case, they can still win if they can stall for time!
At this moment, the elders of the Shentu Family were all trembling with fear in front of the Shepherd Boy. The Shepherd Boy was too terrifying; he had killed two elders of the Shentu Family in two separate attacks!
Even with others restraining and threatening them, they were practically invincible!
No one dared to speak in front of the Shepherd Boy. Those who had spoken arrogantly just now were now silent, because the two elders killed by the Shepherd Boy in his two attacks were the most talkative and outspoken.
They mocked the Shepherd Boy, and in the blink of an eye, the Shepherd Boy killed them!
"So that's how it is..." A hundred feet away from the Shepherd Boy, the Myriad Ghosts Divine King witnessed the Shepherd Boy's two attacks, and his expression became solemn. "You have already mastered the Heaven and Earth Order, and within the order you have comprehended, there is one that can mobilize the Savage Power of the world, ignoring the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation..."
The Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation is also a kind of law. In fact, it should be said that all arrays in the Martial Dao World belong to a kind of law.
However, when a martial artist's mastery of the laws far exceeds the laws of the formation, then the formation can no longer bind him.
The Shepherd Boy of today is like that; the order he controls is incomparable to the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation.
Upon hearing the words of the Myriad Ghosts Emperor, the elders of the Shentu Family held their breath.
Mastering the Heaven and Earth Order? This has nothing to do with cultivation level, but rather with the attainment of the laws, signifying that a martial artist has reached the pinnacle of achievement in a certain law!
The Shepherd Boy remained noncommittal; he lightly touched his Space Ring and drew a sword from it.
This sword is pure white, like jade, without the slightest hint of metallic gleam.
But... this sword isn't jade; it's a piece of bone.
This sword was forged from the bones of Primordial Sacred Beast!
A sword with a blade four feet long and a very short hilt, only four inches long.
The sword blade is directly connected to the hilt, without a guard. Only on the hilt are nine runes of laws engraved, revealing a mysterious and ancient aura.
"The sword is named Illusionary Bone."
The Shepherd Boy spoke calmly, his pure white sword pointing directly at the Myriad Ghosts Emperor!
