Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1521: The Grand Emperor's Death

The great celestial heavens formed by the thirty-six celestial palaces, together with the forty-eight throne halls, Celestial Venerable Hao's power was much stronger than when the seventh Celestial Venerable was at his peak!

Under the pressure of his aura, God Emperor Lang Xuan, who was one of the seven Celestial Venerables, grunted and collapsed to the ground. He bled from his seven orifices and couldn't move!

On the other side, Qin Mu quickly moved back, step by step. With every step he took back, the ruins of Jade Capital City in front of him would be crushed by the incomparably terrifying power until the ground sank!

In front of him, there seemed to be an unrivaled giant raising its huge feet to chase after him and trample him continuously!

That was Celestial Venerable Hao's power!

Celestial Venerable Hao didn't make a move, but just the power from his aura forced him to retreat!

"Lang Xuan, my elder brother, this is the system of celestial palaces and celestial heavens, using strength to achieve the path!"

Celestial Venerable Hao, who had regained his youth, raised his hand, and a Ten Thousand Dao Heaven Wheel appeared in his palm. At first, the Ten Thousand Dao Heaven Wheel was only the size of a cup. It spun around and stuck close to the ground as it moved towards Qin Mu.

In the next moment, the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel came in front of Qin Mu and had already transformed into a radius of several yards. All kinds of Great Daos in the Heaven Wheel merged into one, and the ten thousand Daos resonated in the Heaven Wheel.

If one looked carefully, they would see countless Great Daos forming all kinds of divine arts in the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. They were incomparably complicated, and when countless divine arts were combined in the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, their power would become even stronger!

Divine arts spewed out from the ten thousand Heavenly Dao Wheel, and the ten thousand Heavenly Dao Wheel dispersed. Qin Mu stabbed forward with his Calamity Sword, using it to break the divine art of the Heaven Wheel. Sounds of clashing rang out endlessly, and Qin Mu's arm muscles exploded from the tremors. He took a hundred steps back and finally broke through all the divine arts.

However, before he could even let out a long sigh of relief, the flowing light transformed by the divine arts came to a stop. The light gathered and transformed into a second Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Wheel. This Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Wheel was even bigger and was six hundred yards tall!

The ten thousand paths in the heavenly wheels seemed to be swirling and surging in a great furnace. The surface of the wheels turned scarlet red, then from scarlet red to blazing white. Ten thousand paths divine arts swirled in the heavenly wheels and burst forth!

Qin Mu placed the Calamity Sword in his left hand and stabbed at the divine art bursting forth from the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. His footsteps didn't stop and he kept retreating. In the blink of an eye, his left arm was also drenched in blood.

Countless divine arts gathered once again and transformed into the third Ten Thousand Dao Heaven Wheel that was three hundred yards tall. It was like a bright mirror that was shining brightly in front of Qin Mu.

Qin Mu retreated again, and arms popped out from under his armpits. The Calamity Sword trembled and split into six. Each of the six arms actually grabbed a Calamity Sword and clashed with the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel.

The ten thousand divine arts in the Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Wheel spewed out and transformed into a rainbow light that was three hundred yards thick.

Qin Mu grunted. When he broke through this Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Wheel, the thousand yards rainbow light suddenly retracted and transformed into the fourth Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Wheel!

This heavenly wheel was 1.4 million feet tall!

The apparitions of ten thousand paths could no longer be seen in the mirror. They could only see Qin Mu's image filling up the entire Heaven Wheel. However, the power of the Heaven Wheel had also become stronger!

"It's a divine art of entering the path! One wheel, one heaven!"

Qin Mu came to a realization, and his body shook. The 49 Heavenly Dao weapons fused into one and transformed into a heavenly knife. He abandoned his sword and wielded his knife, raising the heavenly knife high with his six arms and slashing down!

The knife split the incoming rainbow light into two. Suddenly, it gathered behind him and transformed into the fifth Ten Thousand Dao Wheel.

Qin Mu turned around and abandoned his knife. A cane appeared in his hand, and he used it as a sword to stab at the mirror that was three hundred yards tall!

Boom!

The Tai Yi crutch pierced through the rainbow light and collided with Celestial Venerable Hao's attack. In the next instant, Qin Mu's body trembled violently and was bounced up high. Another Ten Thousand Dao Heaven Wheel appeared in front of him, and in front of the mirror, Qin Mu's body was incomparably small. The mirror reflected his body, and it actually shone on the insides of his corporeal body clearly!

The him in the mirror was over two hundred yards tall, and his five viscera and six bowels were all shone through. Even his divine treasures, his celestial palace, and his primordial spirit were revealed!

Qin Mu landed on the ground and broke through this attack again. However, in the next moment, another Heaven Wheel of Ten Thousand Dao appeared, and it was even bigger than the previous one!

Qin Mu quickly retreated, and the ground under his feet suddenly became empty. He stepped on the long river of chaos, and his feet were instantly corroded by it.

He wasn't flustered in the face of danger, and his Taiyi walking stick transformed into a small boat that landed on the river surface. Qin Mu wielded his sword, and the sword light shot out to meet the ten thousand rainbows that were coming at him!

Weng, weng, weng!

On the long river of chaos, ten thousand heavenly wheels appeared in front of Qin Mu one after another. Every attack blasted him hundreds of miles away, hitting him from the shore to the center of the long river!

It took only the blink of an eye for Celestial Venerable Hao to send out the ten thousand Heaven Chakras from his palm to send Qin Mu into the long river of chaos.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Mu had already used countless moves to defend against Celestial Venerable Hao's attack.

Looking from afar, one could only see Celestial Venerable Hao's palm striking out. A rainbow light connected to the mirror, and the mirrors continuously struck forward. Qin Mu continuously retreated until he was forced onto the long river of chaos.

When they reached the center of the long river of chaos, the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel in front of Qin Mu was already thirty thousand yards tall. His Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm in the mirror was reflected down to the finest detail, as if there were no more secrets to speak of!

The Great Dao he cultivated, the composition of his celestial palace, the sun, moon, and stars in his divine treasures, the myriad worlds in the heavens, and even all the arrangements in the ancestral court were all shone through!

His paths, skills, and divine arts were reflected in the most minute structure of the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. His primordial spirit also revealed the most minute marvel in the mirror light!

"This is Celestial Venerable Hao's thirtieth heaven of the Dao Realm."

Qin Mu's gaze was still incomparably sharp as he looked at Celestial Venerable Hao's own projection in the Myriad Heavenly Dao Wheel. Celestial Venerable Hao's Dao Realm had already reached the thirtieth heaven, which was indeed extremely powerful.

His cultivation had already reached the Celestial Heavens Realm, and he had walked further than the other Celestial Venerables. This was already extremely terrifying, but his attainments in the Dao Realm were also above those of other Celestial Venerables!

In this short exchange, Qin Mu had already probed the secrets of the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. This wheel reflected the shadow of the opponent, analyzing the structure of the opponent's corporeal body, the composition of the Great Dao, the composition of the celestial palace, the structure of the primordial spirit, and understanding all the secrets of the opponent.

By understanding the other party's secrets, he could break the other party's Great Dao divine art and kill him!

Celestial Venerable Hao's current status wasn't because he was the illegitimate son of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu. It was indeed unique.

"However, if you want to kill me in one move, you won't be able to do it even if you have the power of someone who achieved the Dao!"

Qin Mu stabbed forward with his sword. In the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, Qin Mu's image suddenly crumbled. This meant that Celestial Venerable Hao's Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel had already analyzed all of Qin Mu's secrets. This strike could completely disintegrate Qin Mu!

In the center of the fourteenth river of chaos, a terrifying throbbing burst forth, sweeping up a wave of chaotic qi that swirled like a chaotic tornado.

The tornado dispersed, transforming into a hurricane that struck in all directions. After a moment, the hurricane blew onto the ruins of the Jade Capital City where Celestial Venerable Hao and the rest were. The gale howled and blew on Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Xiao's clothes.

Celestial Venerable Xiao turned around with a smile and said leisurely, "Hao'er, have you killed your heart devil?"

On the Dao Tree opposite him, Celestial Venerable Hao's expression changed slightly, and he sneered. "He escaped and didn't die, but he won't live for long."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled and said, "There are five Great Daos in his body that you didn't understand, right? Among these five Great Daos, the first is Tai Yi, the second is Tai Chu, the third is Tai Shi, the fourth is Tai Su, and the fifth is Tai Chi. It's because you can't understand them that you can't kill him. I'm Tai Chu."

His aura rose frantically, and the celestial palaces behind his head emerged to form a huge celestial heavens with thirty-six celestial palaces and forty-seven throne halls!

"If you can't see through it, there's your Father."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled. "As my child, you are the most outstanding one. I admit that I underestimated you in the past."

Celestial Venerable Hao revealed a smile, and the smile on his face grew wider. Behind him, Tai Su's accompanying treasure started to transform, transforming into the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel.

"Not only have you underestimated me in the past, you've also underestimated me now!"

Previously, Celestial Venerable Hao's attack was a divine art, but now that Tai Su's companion treasure had transformed into the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, it was a supreme treasure, a supreme treasure born from the Tai Su egg!

"Father, your precious treasure has been sent into the Ultimate Void by the Grand Emperor to be suppressed. Without it and without help, you can only die!"

Celestial Venerable Hao grabbed the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and rose into the sky!

On the third long river of chaos, Qin Mu's feet stepped on the small boat that was formed from Taiyi's crutch. He held onto his World Tree with his palm, and his corporeal body was in tatters as he panted heavily.

His breath was mixed with blood.

Celestial Venerable Hao's divine art of the thirtieth heaven of the path was indeed incomparably powerful. However, in the last strike of his Heavenly Wheel Mirror Light, Qin Mu saw that the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel hadn't deciphered the five great mines in his ancestral court, which was why he realized where his life was.

His final strike had activated the five great mines of the ancestral court, forcefully activating the power contained within them. At the most crucial moment, he had even activated the power of the Taiyi Mine, finally blocking this move and preventing Celestial Venerable Hao from killing him.

"After achieving the Dao, he is indeed incomparably powerful. I can't defeat him…"

He collapsed with a plop and let the small boat drift along with the waves.

After an unknown period of time, Qin Mu finally recovered some strength. Suddenly, a huge wave rose from the river. It was the shockwave that Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Xiao had released when they fought. The small boat could be overturned at any moment!

Qin Mu struggled to get up and controlled the small boat to sail towards the opposite shore.

In the boundless primordial chaos, the vertical eye at the heart of his brows opened up to observe the evolution of the universe under the third primordial river, searching for a path.

Ten days later, he found the opposite shore and raised his head to look. Another long river of chaos appeared in front of him.

"There are only two chaotic rivers left…"

He took a short rest, and his injuries were much better. He then boarded the small boat and continued forward.

He was no longer concerned about the outcome of Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Xiao. He only had one thought, and that was to find the master of the Miluo Palace and ask him about the Jade Capital City.

If he could return alive, he would have to stay on the river of chaos formed by the fourth universe for a period of time to track Tai Yi's whereabouts.

Time passed day by day, and Qin Mu carried the small boat forward by himself. His injuries were more or less healed, and he had the complete Jade Pool Realm. The Jade Pool could produce primordial liquid, which was very beneficial for the restoration of the corporeal body and primordial spirit.

He came to the last river of chaos and entered it by boat.

"Crossing this long river should be the Miluo Palace…"

One of the tree stumps came to a gentle stop, and they finally reached the opposite shore of the last river of chaos. An old woman walked down from the stump. Her body was bent, and her face was almost stuck to the ground.

She was Heavenly Lady Qiang. She had finally come here after much hard work.

She shakily got down from the tree stump and hobbled towards the Miro Palace with difficulty.

"Grand Emperor."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. Heavenly Lady Qiang tried her best to turn her head, but her body suddenly became light as she was lifted up by a hand.

Heavenly Lady Qiang tried to raise her head, but her eyes were blurry. She could faintly see Qin Mu's face.

"Celestial Venerable Mu…"

Heavenly Lady Qiang struggled and tried to raise her two God Execution Mysterious Knives to kill Qin Mu. However, she couldn't lift them anymore.

The two divine knives also lost all their divine power and drooped down powerlessly.

Qin Mu pried open her skinny hands and took down the two divine knives before carrying Heavenly Lady Qiang to the riverside.

Heavenly Lady Qiang struggled and tugged at his collar. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "Let me go. I want to meet the master of Miluo Palace. You can't kill me, Celestial Venerable Mu. I'm a guest of Miluo Palace's master…"

"I'm sorry, Grand Emperor."

Qin Mu pressed her down into the long river of chaos and allowed her hands to tear at his collar and face. He watched her turn into powder in the great calamity of destruction and muttered, "I have to kill you, I have to kill you. If I don't kill you now, I won't have the full confidence in saving Celestial Venerable Ling… Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Xiao are about to achieve the Dao. I can't wait any longer. I have to save Celestial Venerable Ling… Stop struggling…"

He slowly sank Heavenly Lady Qiang into the river.
