Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1400: Great Overarching Heavenly Fragment

He saw the vertical eye in the heart of Qin Mu's brows looking underground, but what he saw wasn't underground. What he saw was a terrifying sight of the universe being destroyed.

Great Dao, stars, galaxies, space, heavens, countless lives were turned into powder. Even the Undying God Consciousness of powerful existences was destroyed along with the destruction of the universe!

The most terrifying thing was that the layers of void were being annihilated!

The void was everywhere, but only powerful gods could sense the existence of the void. There were even fewer gods that could enter the void, and there were even fewer existences that could imprint their consciousness and Great Dao into the void and coexist with it.

As for imprinting their own Dao skills in the high-level void, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Among the current Celestial Venerables, only the Grand Emperor and Founding Emperor could do this. Even the powerful masters of creation of the primordial era could do this.

The Grand Emperor had transformed his Great Dao of Consciousness into Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven and imprinted it in the thirty-sixth void, the ultimate void.

Founding Emperor had imprinted his Sword Dao in the 35th void. The leaders of the masters of creation of the primordial era and numerous ancestor spirits had imprinted their consciousnesses in other layers of the void.

Back then, in order to completely eradicate the masters of creation, the ancient Celestial Emperor had led the ancient gods and some powerful half-gods into the void, erasing the imprints left behind by the powerful masters of creation bit by bit. As the half-god progenitor back then, God Emperor Lang Xuan had also followed Celestial Emperor to eradicate the imprints of the masters of creation, leaving a deep impression on him.

He knew how difficult it was to get rid of the masters of creation's imprints. Their consciousness imprints were like parasites that had entered the void, making them hard to find and completely obliterate.

Yet now, he actually saw the 35 voids completely collapse in a short period of time, shattering the imprints of the strong practitioners that were ensconced in them!

Boundless fear grew in his heart, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

He saw the destruction of the thirty-sixth void.

The 36th void, which was also the void where the Grand Emperor had entrusted his consciousness to the Great Overarching Heaven, was also known as the Ultimate Void, the Great Overarching Heaven, and the Ultimate Heaven. This Ultimate Void was like an eggshell smashing into the ground in the great calamity of the universe's destruction. It was also like a ball filled with water being pierced by a needle and exploding!

God Emperor Lang Xuan trembled in fear. The fear of the apocalypse invaded his Dao heart.

His Dao heart wasn't as strong as Qin Mu's. This was the weakness of the system of divine treasures and celestial palaces. Qin Mu could still remain calm when he saw the apocalypse, but he couldn't.

'This kind of destruction is something even a Celestial Venerable can't withstand…' He was terrified.

However, what was strange was that everything he saw was still.

Countless galaxies shattered, the heavens were annihilated, the void disintegrated, and the ultimate void explosion was still.

It might be called an image, but it wasn't. The painting was a flat surface, but what he saw through Qin Mu's vertical eye was three-dimensional.

At this moment, he saw the 'big thing' that Qin Mu had mentioned.

It was a coffin that had flown out from the Great Overarching Heaven of the Ultimate Void. It was unknown what kind of divine metal the coffin was made of, but it was corroded by the destruction of the universe and covered in rust.

The surface of the coffin was filled with Great Dao runes that Lang Xuan didn't recognize. In the destruction of the universe, a piece of the Great Overarching Heaven flew over, seemingly flying towards them.

The peculiar thing about this coffin was that it was located in the broken pieces of the Great Overarching Heaven, and there was a huge wooden sacrificial altar in the broken pieces. The coffin sat on the sacrificial altar and stood upright.

Half of the Great Overarching Heaven Pieces had already entered the ancestral court and were buried underground.

God Emperor Lang Xuan couldn't see it because his consciousness couldn't see the Great Overarching Heaven.

God Emperor Lang Xuan looked at this scene and was slightly puzzled.

Qin Mu's voice traveled over, and he said leisurely, "The existence in this coffin was a strong practitioner from the previous universe. When the universe was destroyed, he tried to enter our universe by sacrificing. The time point he was in was extremely peculiar. The back of the coffin was in his universe, and time and space didn't exist. It was still at the moment of the apocalypse, and he used the broken pieces of the Great Overarching Heaven to protect himself. However, the front of the coffin had already entered our universe, and it had already existed for a long time in our universe."

God Emperor Lang Xuan didn't quite understand. He looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How many years has he existed in our universe?"

"It probably existed since the beginning of the universe."

Qin Mu couldn't be sure, so he said, "He probably started to steal the primordial liquid from the Jade Pool at the beginning of the universe. However, he must have had some misgivings back then. He was afraid that the ancient gods and masters of creation would find out, so he didn't dare to steal the power of the Jade Pool recklessly. When the masters of creation and the ancient gods and half-gods left the ancestral court to seal this place, he would have no qualms about breaking the eight dragon veins of the Jade Pool and stealing the power of the Jade Pool."

God Emperor Lang Xuan shook his head and said with a hoarse voice, "How is this possible? How can half of him stay in the previous universe that was destroyed and the other half in our era?"

"If you erase the time factor, you will understand."

Qin Mu explained to him seriously, "Without time, removing time, even if the universe is destroyed and born, it's merely a transformation between energy and matter. The process of energy transforming into matter is the process of the universe expanding, and the process of matter transforming into energy is the process of the universe collapsing. The change of matter causes the misconception of time passing. He tried to enter our era from the previous universe only because he didn't want to turn himself into the energy of the universe being destroyed, so he stole the energy from our era and replaced himself. This is the reason why he stole the Jade Pool's power. He needs to maintain the balance between the two universes."

God Emperor Lang Xuan was still puzzled, but he knew that someone had used this theory to achieve great success.

Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art was an incomprehensible mystery. After Celestial Venerable Ling created this divine art, the ten Celestial Venerables were astonished.

Because of the unknown, they were afraid.

Almost all of the ten Celestial Venerables were mobilized to get rid of Celestial Venerable Ling. However, Ming Fangyu took the lead, and his primordial spirit entered Celestial Emperor's corporeal body to kill Celestial Venerable Ling on the celestial river. As a result, Ming Fangyu's primordial spirit and Celestial Emperor's corporeal body vanished without a trace.

"Divine Emperor, this prehistoric strong practitioner is an existence that lives high in the Great Overarching Heaven. His power surpasses the ten Celestial Venerables and even any Celestial Venerable. If he enters the ancestral court, the rule of the ten Celestial Venerables will collapse, and he will become a high and mighty existence."

Qin Mu guided her patiently. "For his own power, he will either get rid of the ten Celestial Venerables or subdue you. As the ruler of this era, what should you do?"

God Emperor Lang Xuan came back to his senses, and his gaze flickered. He said with a smile, "However, I won't let him enter the ancestral court and the Jade Pool, let alone steal its power!"

Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and closed the third eye on the heart of his brows. "With God Emperor here, I can be at ease."

God Emperor Lang Xuan looked at him and smiled. "Celestial Venerable Mu, he's hiding under the Jade Pool. Instead of waiting for him to steal enough power to enter the ancestral court, why don't we just chase him back to his era! I need to borrow your divine eyes to find his location!"

He smiled proudly and said leisurely, "I really want to meet this supreme expert from the previous universe!"

Qin Mu hesitated, and God Emperor Lang Xuan smiled. "Don't you want to get rid of this hidden danger?"

Qin Mu examined his face carefully, and God Emperor Lang Xuan was calm. He smiled and said, "I'm the ten Celestial Venerables, the ruler of this universe. I naturally have to consider this era."

Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Since God Emperor has such intentions, I shall fulfill your wish. God Emperor, neither you nor I can come to that piece of the Great Overarching Heaven. I have a divine art called Paramita Divine Boat Crossing. If I borrow your power, I might be able to enter that piece."

God Emperor Lang Xuan's heart trembled slightly, and he nodded silently. He praised, "Celestial Venerable Mu knows a lot."

Qin Mu was alarmed, and he said with a smile, "My cultivation realm is low, so I like to blindly grasp divine arts."

God Emperor Lang Xuan laughed and said, "Your cultivation is already extremely high. Let me ask you, who can cultivate to your level in their fifties? Putting everything else aside, to be able to cultivate to the Jade Pool Realm to become a heavenly god in fifty years, among the geniuses of the thousands of worlds and heavens, it's already extremely rare to have such aptitude. Furthermore, your abilities aren't limited to that."

Qin Mu also laughed. "Sure, sure."

God Emperor Lang Xuan's overflowing magic power flooded over, and Qin Mu immediately used it to execute Paramita Divine Boat Crossing.

Paramita Divine Boat Crossing was the eighth heaven of his divine art. This move didn't have much power and was a divine art that allowed one to enter the void. Qin Mu had created this move to enter the ultimate void and save the soul of Celestial Venerable Yun, who was suppressed by the Grand Emperor.

However, his current cultivation was still weak and he was far from being able to enter the Ultimate Void. At most, he could only reach the 29th and 30th void.

However, with God Emperor Lang Xuan's help, Qin Mu's magic power instantly rose drastically, and his consciousness became incomparably powerful. With a long roar, the Paramita Divine Boat burst forth!

A Paramita Divine Boat quickly formed under his and God Emperor Lang Xuan's feet. The Divine Boat flew out, and the bow of the boat moved downwards. Its speed was unimaginable as it rumbled towards the bottom of the Jade Pool!

At the bow of the ship, God Emperor Lang Xuan looked at the incoming seabed and shattered rocks, and he hurriedly raised his hand to protect his face. However, even though the ship was shaking violently, it didn't crash into the ground. Instead, it sailed into the layers of void underground the instant it came into contact with the ground.

The ship shuttled through layers of void in a split second and reached the thirty-fifth void, heading straight for the piece of the Great Overarching Heaven!

God Emperor Lang Xuan's heart pounded violently. He could finally see the fragment of the Great Overarching Heaven with his eyes, the sacrificial altar in the fragment, and the mysterious coffin on the sacrificial altar!

With lightning speed, he looked up and saw the Jade Pavilion and the Jade Sea above the Paramita Ark and the pieces of the Great Overarching Heaven!

It was as if the land of the ancestral court didn't exist. He could even see the mining slaves and supervisors standing beside the incorporeal mountain range.

This sight made him click his tongue in wonder.

The Paramita Ark crashed into the piece of the Great Overarching Heaven, causing the entire ship to explode. The two people at the bow of the ship tumbled in the air, and when they stabilized themselves, they had already rushed into the piece of the Great Overarching Heaven and floated in front of the coffin.

The coffin was too big, and the rust on it was ancient. The lower it went, the more it rotted!

Even the runes and Great Dao imprints on it were greatly weakened.

Yet when they stood in front of the coffin, they felt their hearts palpitating. The power coming from the coffin was too terrifying!

Even someone as strong as Lang Xuan felt fear and trepidation!

That was pure Dao might. Dao power was even higher than his own power. It was even more profound and mysterious. It was inconceivable!

God Emperor Lang Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, and his consciousness rippled. He said with a smile, "Even an existence as strong as the previous universe would find it hard to survive the apocalypse. How pitiful."

Right at this moment, the huge coffin suddenly creaked, and the coffin lid slowly opened.

God Emperor Lang Xuan looked as though he was facing a great enemy. The celestial palace behind his head appeared, and his primordial spirit stood tall in the celestial heavens. He was already prepared to use his divine essence finger to kill the person in the coffin at any moment!

The coffin opened, and a withered Dao Tree was hidden in the huge coffin. There was no corpse, nor was there anyone's primordial spirit.

There was only a shriveled Dao fruit on the Dao Tree.

A vast consciousness spread out from the Dao Fruit and said leisurely, "Small existences like ants, mocking the eagles that used the universe as their year to soar among the various universes, laughing at their shallow knowledge. Hehe, little friend, you guys are the pitiful ones."

They communicated with their consciousnesses. Even if they didn't understand each other's language, they could still understand each other's thoughts.

God Emperor Lang Xuan sneered and was about to speak when another consciousness came from the Dao Fruit. He said leisurely, "Little friend, when your Universe Era is destroyed, how are you going to escape? With your mouth? Kneel down and worship me. Sacrifice enough sacrifices for me. I will teach you the method to transcend and help you achieve the Dao. You can then live until the next Universe Era!"

Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked at God Emperor Lang Xuan.

God Emperor Lang Xuan's expression wavered.
