Chapter 42: Devastation
Locking The Heavens is a terrifying skill, however — all techniques come with glaring flaws. They are not omnipotent so Mu Shen was about to learn those flaws by simply drawing close to the serpent. Only by learning those flaws will he be able to break them.
What Shi Feng had told him was actually startling. The heavens was so vast that countless parallel universes combined together is not enough to exhaust its vastness; however , something could actually lock the heavens. Meaning that, if the Serpent successfully used Locking The Heavens on them, it would be Impossible to escape from it.
The Serpent's body recoiled and slapped down with tremendous force that overturned the earth completely.
The thing is — Locking the Heavens needed a lot of concentration and focus. Without focus or deep concentration, it would be difficult to lock something as boundless as the heavens.
And suddenly, Mu Shen realized.
The Serpent had been unable to Lock the Heavens due to poor focus.
'Is that a flaw?'
Definitely, no technique was omnipotent. However if the Serpent had been given enough time, Mu Shen would have received the shock of his life.
Mu Shen turned to Shi Feng.
"Attack with me, now!"
Shi Feng's pupils thinned in constriction.
"But what about Locking The Heavens?"
The Serpent hisses loudly realizing that its technique had been discovered.
"Brazzzssssen bratsssss!"
The massive tail continued to recoil and slap down causing tremors running through the white dunes, shattering bones and crumbling reality before their eyes.
Mu Shen gritted his teeth.
"Locking the Heavens actually needs maximum focus. Allowing it a few moments would cause us doom, let's not allow that."
Shi Feng's eyes widened.
The Serpent's Iris stretched out.
Then, an ear-piercing shriek hollered out of its largely parted maws, which squirted out venom which melted bones into liquid.
And at the same time;
Two Abyss Gates opened.
First abyss gate: Everything bottoms out.
Second Abyss gate: Everything sinks.
Mu Shen did not bother about opening all five abyss gates and the Heavenly Dao of seven rivers technique activated, giving him an unparalleled and unrivaled physical strength.
Mu Shen glared at the Serpent and he slapped down causing the mountain of white bones that had gathered to scatter and shatter. Many white shards, flying in the air.
The massive Serpent's Iris shrank as it wondered the kind of strength a puny, smallish human as himself possessed. Another mountain of bones was instantly gathered, this one so large that it covered an entire horizon and distorted the void; however — the massive piles of bones vanished and appeared somewhere behind him.
Space interchange.
Different from the teleportation granted by the bone flute.
His own problem now is — those eggs. But they were clearly well protected. Mu Shen was still deciding on a plan.
Plan A or plan B?
Suddenly the sky changed drastically, a powerful beam connecting from heaven to the earth and then that same powerful beam slamming down in a deafening ring.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The sky shattered.
Mu Shen's pupils shrank.
Just as the harrowing beam was about to touch the surface, motes of light transformed into a gargantuan shield, protecting both Mu Shen and Shi Feng from the devastation.
