Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1455: The Boy Who Blasted Fish

Celestial Venerable Gong knew that things weren't looking good. Celestial Venerable You's body was recovering rapidly, and he quickly turned from an old man to a young man!

The original Celestial Venerable You was like a dying old man, and this was the reason why he was called Elder Messenger of Death.

He stayed in Youdu all year round, and his corporeal body had long withered. He didn't have any vitality, and he even looked very dark. He would always appear in the night, appearing alone under the light of the lantern, folding paper humans and paper horses.

His reputation was widespread. In the tens of thousands of worlds and heavens, the mention of Elder Messenger of Death was enough to make the most courageous devil gods keep quiet out of fear, enough to make children stop crying.

And now, Celestial Venerable You had transformed back into a youth, and the heavy atmosphere had vanished from his body. He seemed to have become the youth that was a little isolated from the crowd and liked to sit by the water and play with a divine art to throw into the Jade Pool to fry fish.

He wasn't the kind of youth that would have his muscles bulging from his body with just a slight push. On the contrary, he was very thin and weak. His face was slightly pale, and he didn't give off a threatening feeling.

However, compared to when he blew up the fish at the Jade Pool, he was much more cheerful and confident. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit!

"My Divine Arts are not old, but my heart is."

Celestial Venerable You slowly raised his head. Behind him, the incomparably vast primordial spirit also slowly raised its head.

Celestial Venerable Gong looked up. The vastness of this primordial spirit was enough to rival an existence like Heaven Duke and Earth Count!

For a long time, everyone thought that Celestial Venerable You had already declined. Celestial Venerable You was still in Youdu, and he hadn't come into contact with the paths, skills, and divine arts of the outside world. Without experiencing the Dragon Han Revolution, the Crimson Light Revolution, the Founding Emperor's reform, and Eternal Peace's reform, his paths, skills, and divine arts would definitely fall behind, unable to keep up with the times.

However, the ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens didn't ignore him. The celestial heavens established Mingdu and allowed Son of Heaven Yin to take charge of it. He was on par with Youdu and brought the dead lifeforms and gods to Mingdu.

Other than weakening Youdu's power, the goal of the celestial heavens was to prevent Celestial Venerable You from controlling the paths, skills, and divine arts of the world through the dead.

Only the Nine Celestial Venerables of the Dragon Han Celestial Venerable understood how terrifying Celestial Venerable You's potential was. Therefore, Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Huo wouldn't give him the chance to grow.

However, everyone had overlooked one point, and that was that Celestial Venerable You had billions of clones in Youdu. His clones covered all the worlds in the heavens to receive the dead.

Each of these clones was equivalent to an ordinary Godfiend.

The paths, skills, and divine arts that the dead had brought to Youdu had allowed him to grow, but what had truly allowed him to grow to an unimaginable level was still his clone.

He was originally Celestial Venerable You, the one whose soul had established the path, the first exceptional genius to break through the boundary between life and death. After he came to Youdu, his primordial spirit became stronger.

The billions of clones were the manifestation of his powerful primordial spirit.

In the battle of Xuandu, Youdu was already empty, and all the messengers of death had been retrieved by him. When all of them returned to his true body, his primordial spirit was enough to shock the universe!

In front of Celestial Venerable Gong, the moment this primordial spirit raised its head, the deep and melodious Dao of Youdu burst forth with Dao sounds. It was like the ravings of countless souls, like a mortal chanting scriptures in a temple, full of mystery.

64 different Great Daos of Youdu gathered behind his head. His primordial spirit and the Great Dao of Youdu contained in his primordial spirit were on par with the Heavenly Dao in Xuandu. They were separated from Xuandu and formed an independent Youdu!

'Maybe… Maybe Celestial Venerable Xu isn't the perfect candidate to inherit Earth Count, maybe he is…' This terrifying thought suddenly popped up in Celestial Venerable Gong's mind.

Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit was so vast and powerful that it made her shudder when facing Earth Count.

Even though she was no longer a master of creation and had long made up for the weakness of the weak souls of the masters of creation, when she faced Celestial Venerable You, that sense of fear surged into her heart, making her heart twitch, her muscles tremble, and her bones tremble.

Even her primordial spirit was trembling!

"However, the Nine Celestial Venerables of Dragon Han have already passed, and it's now the world of the ten Celestial Venerables!"

Celestial Venerable Gong gave a long cry, and a loud horn sounded from the celestial heavens formed by the thirty-five celestial palaces. Her qi and blood boiled, and her battle power soared. This woman was extremely brave, and she was one of the few people who dared to slash the Grand Emperor and the Grand Primordium. Even though Celestial Venerable You had the strongest primordial spirit in history, she was fearless and dared to fight!

The ancestral court divine whip in her hand shook, and it was as straight as a spear. She pointed it at Celestial Venerable You and attacked!

Even though Celestial Venerable You had the strongest primordial spirit, he had fallen into her consciousness illusion and suffered heavy injuries from her storm-like attacks. His abilities would definitely be greatly reduced!

She was using the Grand Emperor's spear skills!

With a stab, the treasure transformed from the dragon's vein of the ancestral court instantly came back to life like a dragon's vein that was ten thousand miles long. It transformed in the air and shook the space!

The majestic mountain was like the scales of a dragon, its body meandering. The roots of the mountain were like the claws of a dragon, looking extremely sinister!

This strike was majestic, and with the dense magic power of the great celestial heavens formed by the thirty-five celestial palaces, her power had already reached the peak of what she could achieve in her lifetime!

Celestial Venerable You's magic power was definitely far inferior to hers. This was the key to her victory!

She wanted to use her magic power and treasures to beat Celestial Venerable You back to his old age, from cheerfulness to depression!

A tremor rang out, and wrinkles appeared on Celestial Venerable Gong's beautiful face. Weng, weng, weng. Another tremor came, and the vibration formed creases on her face that couldn't be smoothed away.

She saw an incomparably astonishing sight. With a series of tremors, the second Youdu world appeared behind Celestial Venerable You's incomparably majestic primordial spirit, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth!

Layers and layers of Youdu worlds opened up, and the corners of Celestial Venerable Gong's eyes twitched violently. These Youdu worlds were layers of heavens, just like the heavens of Founding Emperor's sword path.

However, the heavens of Founding Emperor's sword path were Postcelestial Great Daos, a realm that no one had ever stepped into before. Founding Emperor had to perfect it step by step and develop it.

Celestial Venerable You's Youdu heavens, on the other hand, was comprehended from the 64 types of Youdu Great Daos. From the start, Celestial Venerable You cultivated the Great Dao of Youdu. In order to revive his mother, he researched harder than anyone else and was more serious!

Compared to Founding Emperor, he had a huge advantage. Founding Emperor created the Sword Dao from nothing, and it was incomparably difficult. However, he had Earth Count by his side, so he could ask Earth Count anything he didn't understand.

Of course, if Earth Count didn't understand, he could ask him.

He had stayed in Youdu for a million years, and his attainments in the Great Dao of Youdu were so deep that he could be on par with Earth Count. The only thing that was inferior to Earth Count was that he didn't have a strong corporeal body like Earth Count.

Compared to an ancient god like Earth Count, his corporeal body was much weaker.

'That's right, Founding Emperor can ignore my consciousness illusion because his Dao heart is too strong. His Dao Heart Realm has already cultivated to thirty-five heavens.'

Celestial Venerable Gong gritted his teeth and didn't retreat. He poured all his strength into his spear and continued to stab at Celestial Venerable You. He thought to himself, 'However, even Celestial Venerable Mu couldn't escape from my consciousness illusion, yet Celestial Venerable You escaped. This means that his Dao heart is even higher than Celestial Venerable Mu's…'

However, it was clearly Celestial Venerable You's first time coming into contact with the Dao Realm, so he didn't put in much effort in this aspect. Now, it was his first time raising his own Dao Realm, so the opening of the Dao Realm was slower.

After all, it had only been a few years since Founding Emperor imparted the cultivation system of the Dao Realm. Even the ten Celestial Venerables didn't have high attainments in this aspect.

This time, Celestial Venerable You comprehended the Dao before the battle and raised his own Dao Realm. He wasn't prepared for this, which gave Celestial Venerable Gong hope.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Celestial Venerable Gong's spear stabbed in front of Celestial Venerable You, and the Youdu world behind his primordial spirit's head had already reached eighteen levels.

His primordial spirit stretched out its hand and smacked Celestial Venerable Gong's spear. Celestial Venerable Gong grunted, and the huge spear in his hand bent from the pressure. Her body also bent from the pressure!

Magic power, the magic power that she was proud of, the magic power in the thirty-five celestial palaces was actually inferior to the magic power in Celestial Venerable You's incomparably huge primordial spirit.

Her legs bent, and the horn of the celestial heavens rang out, raising her qi and blood once again!

Celestial Venerable Gong straightened his body, and his long spear transformed into a long whip that coiled around the arm of Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit. Her legs flew up as she kicked Celestial Venerable You's head!

Another wave came, and the nineteenth wrinkle appeared on Celestial Venerable Gong's face like an old woman.

Her corporeal body was aging, and her life force was depleting. She couldn't help but be shocked, but her strength didn't decrease at all. Her legs were filled with terrifying explosive power. As long as she kicked Celestial Venerable You's head, it would only take an instant for her head to explode!

At this moment, the nineteenth level of Youdu behind Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit slowly opened up.

The palm of the primordial spirit had a long whip coiled around it, and with a forceful shake, Celestial Venerable Gong was blown away. He was then pulled back with a whoosh!

What met her was the other arm of Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit. A huge fist smashed ruthlessly onto her body!

Boom!

Terrifying pulses burst forth in all directions, and the snow-white light blades formed a ring that expanded rapidly, making all the stars in Xuandu vibrate!

Celestial Venerable Gong flew backward and retracted his whip. He exerted force with his legs and his body was almost flat against the starry sky, leaving two spatial cracks.

She stopped moving backward, and blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. The long whip coiled around her right hand.

An even louder bugle horn sounded from her celestial heavens, causing her qi and blood to rise even higher. Celestial Venerable Gong strode forward like a furious tiger descending the mountain, pouncing over fiercely. Her fighting spirit was even stronger!

Another tremor came, and another wrinkle appeared on her face, the twentieth wrinkle.

Behind Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit, the twentieth Youdu world slowly opened up.

Celestial Venerable Gong rushed in front of him, and her long whip danced like a dragon, weaving in and out to attack. All kinds of divine arts flew out from Celestial Venerable Gong's sleeves, flying out from the heart of her brows. The long whip even flew out from her sleeves from time to time, making it hard to defend against.

Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit's hands danced in the air, blocking all of her attacks, preventing her from penetrating the defense of her primordial spirit and attacking Celestial Venerable You's main body.

Celestial Venerable You had a weakness and a flaw, but she couldn't grasp this weakness at all!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Twenty-three wrinkles had already appeared on Celestial Venerable Gong's face. Her corporeal body had already aged, and her beautiful black hair had turned white.

However, the power of Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit was even stronger, causing her to vomit blood continuously.

Boom!

A fist knocked Celestial Venerable Gong over. Celestial Venerable Gong stumbled to his feet and got knocked over by another fist.

Celestial Venerable Gong stood up shakily once again, and Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit raised its fist again. Celestial Venerable Gong's knees buckled, and he suddenly collapsed.

"I don't like talking to you guys."

Under the feet of the huge primordial spirit, Celestial Venerable You looked at her as if she had returned to the mentality of the youth that had blown up the fish. She said proudly, "Because all of you are very stupid."
