Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1527: Breaking Through The Sky With One Finger

Qin Mu stood at the bow of the ship, and his excitement was indescribable. The golden ship was still repairing itself, and the broken bricks and tiles on the ship were recombining themselves in the air. The collapsed great hall was like time flowing back, and the collapsed pillars were standing up while the palace walls were rebuilt. Soon, the crumbling state was restored to its original state.

This ship was like a huge beast that had woken up from a deep sleep. It had its own wisdom and thoughts, and it often felt that it was useless if it had talent. Now was the time for it to showcase its talents.

It sailed into the long river of primal chaos and broke through the wind and waves like a huge beast. The pressure caused the primal chaos to disperse in all directions.

"This ship is good at everything, but its speed doesn't seem fast…"

Qin Mu was a little anxious. The World Crossing Golden Ship was still steadily increasing its speed while improving itself. However, the current speed of this ship couldn't be compared to the speed of a Celestial Venerable.

He quickly came to the back of the ship and looked towards the shore. Even God Emperor Lang Xuan, who was the slowest, had rushed to the shore. Celestial Venerable Huo and the rest quickly returned to their original spot and carried the Dao Tree over. They placed the Dao Tree in the long river of chaos and chased after the golden ship.

At this moment, the golden ship was still speeding up.

As the Dao Tree got closer to the golden ship, the five Celestial Venerables stood on the tree. Celestial Venerable Gong took the first step, and his consciousness burst forth, rushing towards Qin Mu!

Qin Mu's consciousness burst forth and transformed into Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven to defend against Celestial Venerable Gong's consciousness attack. Their consciousnesses were ever-changing, and there was a path of offense and defense. Even though Celestial Venerable Gong's consciousness was much denser than Qin Mu's, he couldn't break through the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven that he had learned from the Grand Emperor.

However, the Dao Tree was getting closer to the World Crossing Gold Ship. Soon, they would be able to board it.

"Celestial Venerable Mu, aren't you very powerful?"

Suddenly, Ancestral God King rose into the sky and leaped towards the golden ship. Behind him, numerous celestial palaces formed a huge celestial heavens with divine light rushing into the sky. His primordial spirit sat in the middle of the celestial heavens, and his body was huge. The moment he made a move, a torrential heavenly might was unleashed!

The huge hand of his primordial spirit shattered Qin Mu's Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven with a rumble and pressed down on Qin Mu, who was on the golden ship. He said with a smile, "Didn't you rely on your own strength to fight against the seven great Celestial Venerables? When a tiger falls to the level of the sun, it will be bullied by dogs. You took advantage of our aging to humiliate us. Have you ever thought that this day would come?"

Qin Mu smiled and pointed out. Ancestral God King's expression changed drastically. He instantly felt that the power of this finger was unrivaled, and he hurriedly blocked it!

"Ten Thousand Worlds Seal!"

Even though he had used his divine art in a hurry to defend, the Heavenly Dao was vast and mighty. In an instant, it formed the resonance of the Heavenly Dao of the ten thousand worlds in front of him, forming a huge seal!

This divine art was what he was proud of after becoming Heaven Duke. It could be said to be his strongest defense!

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave blasted him, along with his primordial spirit and the celestial heavens, backward. Ancestral God King's body trembled violently, and the Celestial Seal of Ten Thousand Worlds instantly shattered. The incomparably powerful shockwave caused great pain to his limbs and bones. His skin exploded, and his skin evaporated into wisps of primordial qi.

Behind him, the celestial heavens rumbled and actually split apart from the tremors. It split into thirty-five celestial palaces and twenty-nine throne halls!

Behind him, Celestial Venerable Huo stretched his hand out to grab the flying Ancestral God King, letting him land on the Dao Tree.

Ancestral God King grunted and raised his arms with trembling hands. The skin on his arms was completely obliterated, revealing flesh, blood, and white bones. He couldn't help feeling astonished.

What shocked him wasn't that he was injured, but the power of Qin Mu's move!

All along, God Emperor Lang Xuan's Finger of Divine Essence had always been the most powerful divine art among the ten Celestial Venerables. It was one of the few great divine arts of Absolute Beginning. Even though the Finger of Divine Essence was no longer the strongest divine art of God Emperor Lang Xuan, the power of that finger was still terrifying.

Yet the power of Qin Mu's move far surpassed God Emperor Lang Xuan's finger!

Even though it was the same finger, and even though Qin Mu's cultivation was far inferior to God Emperor Lang Xuan's, the marvel of the divine art contained in Qin Mu's finger was much more profound than the great divine art of Absolute Beginning like the divine essence finger!

On the other side, Celestial Venerable Gong blew the bugle horn to strengthen everyone's qi and blood. The sound of the bugle horn suppressed Qin Mu's qi and blood, causing it to weaken.

Everyone rose into the sky, and even the aging God Emperor Lang Xuan felt his qi and blood surging. He shouted loudly and leaped towards the golden ship!

Qin Mu's gaze was fierce as he pointed his finger. Celestial Venerable Gong's horn instantly flew out of his hand.

Qin Mu stretched out his hand and pointed at Celestial Venerable Huo. Celestial Venerable Huo dodged in a panic, and blood flowed out from the corner of Celestial Venerable Xu's mouth. Ancestral God King rolled away, but only God Emperor Lang Xuan jumped onto the golden ship. He was then kicked off the ship by Qin Mu!

Celestial Venerable Gong hurriedly released his consciousness and caught God Emperor Lang Xuan. The others landed on the Dao Tree with lingering fear.

"What a powerful finger!"

Celestial Venerable Xu exclaimed in admiration and suddenly said in doubt, "However, it seems like this fellow only has one finger. Furthermore, this finger doesn't have any changes…"

Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Gong, and Ancestral God King also had strange expressions as they looked at God Emperor Lang Xuan. Back then, God Emperor Lang Xuan had only used one finger to come and go. He had relied on his divine essence finger to mingle among the Celestial Venerables for many years. It was only when he had obtained a Dao fruit that he comprehended the other primordial divine arts.

Qin Mu's current situation was quite similar to God Emperor Lang Xuan back then.

God Emperor Lang Xuan was kicked in the face by Qin Mu, and all his teeth were gone. He said while gasping for breath, "If he only knows this move, we don't have to be afraid of him at all…"

However, everyone knew about his abilities. God Emperor Lang Xuan sneered and said in a low and muffled voice, "He sounds scary, but he only used different fingers to execute the same move."

Celestial Venerable Huo said solemnly, "If it's only this finger, it's easy to board the ship!"

The Dao Tree rushed over again.

Qin Mu also had a huge headache. He indeed only had one finger, and it was called Primordial Finger. It was very easy for others to see through it. No matter which finger he used, it would always be the divine art of Primordial Finger.

This divine art was comprehended by him from the Dao markings on the palace walls of Miluo Palace. It was indeed powerful, full of power, and full of marvels. However, the biggest problem was that he had never comprehended the profundity of the primordial qi runes and could only barely imitate them.

Furthermore, his Primordial Finger was imitating the master of the Miro Palace's primordial Dao pattern. However, it was imitating a static Dao pattern structure, so it was just an imitation without any changes.

This resulted in him only having one finger to move back and forth, unable to change his move.

Compared to treasures, the greatest advantage of divine arts was that they were ever-changing. For example, a dragon-shaped divine art could allow a dragon to dance in the sky under the control of a divine arts practitioner. It could be big or small, coming and going as it pleased.

On the other hand, Qin Mu's Primordial Finger was moving straight. The trajectory of the finger couldn't be changed, and the only way to hit it was to see if the opponent could dodge in time.

"The World Crossing Golden Ship is still increasing its speed. There's no way to avoid these five Celestial Venerables…"

Celestial Venerable Huo and the rest adjusted their strategy and attacked again. Qin Mu braced himself and continued to execute Primordial Finger. However, this time, the five Celestial Venerables could deal with his straightforward move much more easily. They only needed to borrow strength from the air to avoid this move.

Qin Mu cried out bitterly to himself and thought to himself, 'This ship is too big. If it's smaller, my speed can be raised even faster…'

Just as he thought until here, the incomparably huge golden ship suddenly shrunk rapidly. Soon, it transformed from an immeasurable behemoth into a huge ship that was three hundred yards long!

Qin Mu was surprised and delighted. He felt that the speed of the golden ship was much faster than before.

Celestial Venerable Huo and the rest saw this and hurriedly used all their power to activate the Dao Tree to pounce towards the golden ship.

They were secretly anxious. Based on the speed of the golden ship, it wouldn't be long before it surpassed their speed and left them far behind!

Qin Mu said with a smile, "The golden ship created by the master of Miluo Palace to tide over the great calamity is indeed extraordinary! However, as a World Crossing Golden Ship, how can it not have methods to defend against the invasion of the great calamity? If it can even withstand the great calamity of destruction, how can it not be able to withstand a few Celestial Venerables?"

Just as his voice fell, the runes on the ship suddenly lit up. Layers of primordial golden light flowed like water, covering the entire ship. It then bloomed outwards, forming layers of golden heavens. It was like a golden sky that was filled with primordial runes.

Celestial Venerable Huo and the rest attacked, and all kinds of divine arts burst forth to attack the primordial golden light. Ripples spread out, but even the outermost layer of the golden light couldn't break through.

The World Crossing Golden Ship was even faster. It left the Dao Tree and the five Celestial Venerables far behind and swaggered off.

The five Celestial Venerables chased for a moment, and the Dao Tree gradually slowed down before finally stopping.

On the Dao Tree, the five Celestial Venerables stood on the branches and looked at each other, not knowing if they should continue chasing.

"Go back."

God Emperor Lang Xuan said with a trembling voice, "It's impossible to catch up to this fellow. I'm about to die of old age, I can't last much longer. I have to wait for Celestial Venerable Hao to save me…"

Everyone returned with worried expressions.

Qin Mu escaping from their hands this time made them slightly worried. The current Qin Mu was no longer someone they could ignore.

On the World Crossing Gold Ship, Qin Mu stood on the mast, and the primordial qi rushed towards him, blowing on his clothes. The wind raised by the calamity was actually so refreshing.

"The Celestial Venerables control the power of the world, and power fills the heavens. The young masters of Miluo Palace are fighting in the open and in the dark, plotting their future!"

Qin Mu held onto the golden cable of the ship's mast and spread his arms open in the wind. He laughed loudly and said, "They are all people who only care about small things!"

The World Crossing Golden Ship passed through the ruins of Jade Capital City and rushed into the second river, speeding away.

He laughed loudly, and the chaos on the surface of the river rippled as though there were incomparably angry monsters stirring up trouble. Suddenly, a huge whirlpool formed in front of him, and arms stretched out from the whirlpool to grab at the golden ship!

The speed of the golden ship became faster. It passed through the palms that could cover the sky, riding the wind and breaking the waves!

"The World Crossing Golden Ship has broken through the waves for ten billion years. When it comes, it's difficult and dangerous, but when it's fast, it's fast! When I flatten Celestial Venerable and quell the demonic atmosphere, I'll return to my death and fight to my heart's content as Young Master Mu!"
