Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1551: Invincible For Six Billion Years

It was the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven.

In the primordial era, countless masters of creation sacrificed to the Grand Emperor, making his corporeal body and consciousness incomparably strong, breaking through his limits.

Under the sacrificial offerings of thousands of races, the Grand Emperor used his consciousness to imprint the Ultimate Void, forming the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven. The Dao Tree was born, the Dao Flower bloomed, and the Dao fruit bore fruit. From then on, he was immortal and indestructible.

However, his cultivation was obtained by offering sacrifices and not by himself. His comprehension of the path of consciousness had only reached thirty-five heavens, so his Dao fruit was a green fruit that had never matured.

He had been plotted against by Miluo Palace's Yuan Sage.

Back when he was exploring the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City, he and Tai Chu had encountered the Hall of Fragrance. After taking it in, they had discovered that there was a Miluo Palace Yuan Sage in the hall, an expert who had survived two great calamities.

Thus, the Grand Emperor and the rest paid their respects to the Miluo Palace's Yuan Sage, who was conspiring against them. The Yuan Sage walked the path of faith, allowing the Grand Emperor and the rest to believe in him and help him descend.

The Grand Emperor and the rest were trapped in the Hall of Fragrance and couldn't escape. In the end, they relied on the power of the Grand Primordium to break free from the Hall of Fragrance and seal the Hall of Fragrance along with the Miluo Palace's Yuan Sage.

At that time, what Mi Luo Palace's Yuan Sage had imparted to the Grand Emperor was faith. However, he had deliberately schemed against the Grand Emperor and taught him incompletely.

The Grand Emperor fused the path of faith with the path of consciousness, allowing the masters of creation of the primordial era to sacrifice themselves. Only then could his consciousness reach the ultimate void and be entrusted with consciousness. However, it was also because of the incomplete teachings of the Yuan Sages that he was corrupted by the power of the masters of creation's sacrificial offerings, unable to progress any further.

His goal wasn't just the corporeal body of Celestial Emperor, but Celestial Venerable Xiao. It was the Dao of Tai Chu!

Qin Mu, Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Hao, and Celestial Venerable Xiao fought intensely for Celestial Emperor's corporeal body and to get rid of him. However, wasn't he also waiting for this chance to devour Celestial Venerable Xiao and transform his consciousness into the Dao of Tai Chu?

Qin Mu and Founding Emperor wanted to get rid of him, and Celestial Venerable Xiao and Celestial Venerable Hao wanted to devour him. However, he was also waiting for this chance to perfect himself!

And now, the chance had finally come!

Founding Emperor wielded his sword and fought intensely with Celestial Venerable Xiao. One of them had achieved the Dao in the Dao Realm, while the other had achieved the Dao through force. Celestial Venerable Xiao had an even more vigorous advantage in cultivation, and the power of the Dao of Absolute Beginning was astonishing. Founding Emperor, on the other hand, had the advantage of having a higher cultivation in the Dao Realm and stronger attack power.

It was hard for both of them to kill each other in one move. Even though Celestial Venerable Xiao was at a disadvantage, as long as Founding Emperor couldn't kill him, he could rely on the marvel of the Dao of Absolute Beginning to recover. Founding Emperor, on the other hand, relied on the Sword Dao to split heaven and earth, destroying his primordial qi and weakening his cultivation.

As for Qin Mu's side, it was purely a contest of strength and divine arts. Celestial Emperor had a strong corporeal body, Qin Mu was a god, and Celestial Venerable Hao cultivated the Purple Firmament Hall. His paths, skills, and divine arts had changed drastically, and the battle between the two was in a stalemate. It was hard to determine the winner in a short time.

However, Qin Mu relied on Celestial Emperor's corporeal body to be stronger, and it wasn't his own corporeal body. No matter what divine arts, paths, and skills Celestial Venerable Hao had, he fought with his life. Celestial Venerable Hao fought with great difficulty, gritting his teeth in hatred.

Just as both sides were injured, the cold wind blew down, and the entire heavens suddenly stretched out endlessly. Everything became incomparably thin!

This heaven became more flat, as if it had been stretched to a level where there was no thickness!

The four of them were astonished, and they felt their corporeal bodies and primordial spirits being blown by this cold wind. Their corporeal bodies also started to transform, becoming flat. They stretched out in all directions, and the particles that formed their corporeal bodies stretched out endlessly among themselves!

Celestial Venerable Xiao's body started to expand in an instant, and his body spread out in all directions. He was stretched several hundred miles wide, and his body became more flat.

"Ultimate Void!"

He gave a loud shout and executed the Great Celestial Heavens formed by the thirty-six celestial palaces. His body trembled as he forcefully contracted his corporeal body to resist the cold wind. His corporeal body shrunk back and returned to normal.

However, even though he had reached the Celestial Heavens Realm, the Ultimate Void's influence on his corporeal body and primordial spirit was still there. It threatened his life and forced him to forcefully execute his paths, skills, and divine arts to resist it!

On the other side, Founding Emperor executed his Sword Dao and executed his sword skills. Sword Dao Domain formed around his body, and he was also resisting the cold wind in the Ultimate Void.

Celestial Venerable Hao also utilized his own Great Celestial Heavens to suppress the Ultimate Void with great magic power. He was astonished.

Qin Mu's primordial spirit hid in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body and didn't feel anything strange. However, his body couldn't withstand the cold wind, and his corporeal body instantly became incomparably thin.

It was the same for Celestial Venerable Ling.

Her cultivation was low and couldn't be compared to Qin Mu, much less Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Founding Emperor. This cold wind immediately caused her corporeal body and primordial spirit to disintegrate.

"Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure Realm!"

Suddenly, Qin Mu gave a shout and expanded his consciousness realm. Instantly, a lush World Tree rose from the ground and propped up a piece of heaven and earth in the Ultimate Void.

Celestial Venerable Ling and Qin Mu's corporeal bodies were in the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm, and the disintegration of their corporeal bodies and primordial spirits instantly stopped.

Celestial Venerable Ling executed the unchanging divine art, and her corporeal body and primordial spirit returned to normal. She looked around in bewilderment.

They forcefully suppressed their corporeal bodies and primordial spirits, but they still couldn't suppress the influence of the cold wind on them!

However, the good thing was that their cultivation was strong enough. Even though the cold wind had affected them, it didn't take their lives instantly.

They raised their heads and saw a Dao Tree appearing in the center of them. The Dao Tree was lush and had a huge crown.

They looked around, but they couldn't see that heaven anymore. The entire heaven had already faded into the void and vanished!

The Grand Emperor's Grand Overarching Consciousness Heaven had finally descended!

"If the Dao Tree doesn't grow, if the Dao Flower doesn't bloom, and the Dao Fruit doesn't bloom, they are all ants!"

Under that Dao Tree, a majestic master of creation walked out from behind the tree and laughed loudly. He looked at everyone and said leisurely, "I, Guan Er, and the rest of you ants, fighting in a lowly world until your heads bleed. How interesting."

"Ju Yushi!" Celestial Venerable Xiao snorted.

"Grand Emperor!" Qin Mu's eyes lit up.

Celestial Venerable Hao revealed a smile, eager to give it a try.

Founding Emperor stood on his armrest and examined the Dao Tree, ignoring the Grand Emperor.

Qin Mu examined the Grand Emperor from head to toe and exclaimed endlessly in admiration. He said with a smile, "Big Brother, is this your Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven? Did you imprint the path of consciousness into the Ultimate Void, thus forming the Ultimate Overarching Heaven? The path of consciousness, by imprinting into the Ultimate Void, can you be immortal and indestructible?"

He was extremely curious and couldn't resist researching the secrets of the Ultimate Void.

The Grand Emperor glanced at him and said leisurely, "Fourth Brother, after you die, I will trap your primordial spirit in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven and torture it day and night. You have plenty of time to study it, so there's no need to rush!"

Qin Mu was moved to tears as he choked on his tears. "Big brother is so good to me… Where's Celestial Venerable Yun? Is he also in your Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven?"

The Grand Emperor laughed and said, "He became fertilizer under my roots. You will end up the same way, and so will all of you."

Excitement flickered in his eyes. "Fourth brother, I'm grateful that you brought the corporeal body of Tai Chu here. Do you know how many years I've waited for this day? Ever since you returned to the first year of the ancient Dragon Han Era, I've been waiting! Now, it's already been a million years! Second brother, you have crossed forty thousand years and offered me your corporeal body and primordial spirit. I'm also very grateful. When I devour you, I will erect a monument for you."

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled and said, "I'm also excited to see my brother again."

The Grand Emperor laughed, and his gaze landed on Celestial Venerable Ling. He said leisurely, "It's remarkable that you could trap my primordial spirit for forty thousand years. You are the first person to break my supreme consciousness realm, and I will give you a good death."

Celestial Venerable Ling pulled out the hairpin.

The Grand Emperor didn't mind. His gaze landed on Goddess Tai Su, and he sneered. "An egg that was used as a dowry back then was actually born today. Very good."

Goddess Tai Su smiled coldly.

The Grand Emperor then looked at Founding Emperor Qin Ye and praised, "Your Sword Dao has just been completed, and your future is limitless. It's a pity that you are still one realm lower than me. Furthermore, you have just achieved the Dao, so you don't understand what the realm after the Dao is. In addition, this is forty thousand years ago, what a pity."

Founding Emperor's gaze landed on his Dao Fruit, and he said indifferently, "I'm half a realm lower than you. Your Dao Fruit is immature and has yet to mature."

The Grand Emperor smiled. "Half a realm is enough to crush you. As for Celestial Venerable Hao…"

He said with a smile, "Not bad. It must have been hard for you to reach this step by using your power to achieve the Dao. It's a pity that you haven't used your own power to imprint the ultimate void. Your power has yet to reach perfection, and you are three realms lower than me, Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit."

He showed off the bearing of a great emperor that had ruled the universe for billions of years and leisurely said, "In my long lifespan, having interesting people like you to play with me doesn't make me feel lonely. What a pity, you guys are truly a pity."

Celestial Venerable Hao suddenly knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Sacred Lady Taisu. "Aunt, your wish has come true. Break his Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven!"

Goddess Tai Su couldn't help but execute the Great Simplicity Dao. In an instant, the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven was filled with substances, making the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven no longer pure!

The moment Tai Su made his move, Celestial Venerable Ling immediately executed the unchanging divine art and fixed the substance in the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, causing it to sink into a state of unchanging substance!

On the other side, Celestial Venerable Xiao let out a long roar. The thirty-six celestial palaces formed the Great Celestial Heavens and trembled. His primordial spirit slowly rose from the celestial heavens, and he executed the Dao of Absolute Beginning to press down with his palm!

Celestial Venerable Hao immediately rose into the air from his kneeling state. The ten thousand heavenly wheels spun and slashed at the Dao Tree!

At the same time, Founding Emperor pulled out his sword and pointed it at the Dao Fruit on the tree. The moment the sword light moved, it was the 36th sword domain, and the highest level was the Great Overarching Sword Dao Heaven!

Qin Mu controlled Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, and incomparably terrifying power burst forth. His corporeal body was ferocious, and he controlled ten thousand Dao. He closed in on the Grand Emperor of Consciousness and pushed with his hands, wanting to blow him up!

The Grand Emperor laughed loudly. The Great Dao in the Dao Tree circulated, and the light of the Dao Fruit shone brightly. Just as Celestial Venerable Xiao's attack reached the sky above the Dao Tree, it was pushed upwards by the light from the crown of the Dao Tree, and it couldn't land. Instead, Celestial Venerable Xiao felt an unrivaled force pushing him upwards.

His heart was overwhelmed with astonishment, and he executed his technique repeatedly. Palm after palm came crashing down, but he was forced to retreat continuously.

Celestial Venerable Hao's Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel struck the trunk of the tree, and it exploded. His expression changed drastically.

Founding Emperor's sword had just stabbed the Dao Fruit, and the power of the Dao Fruit was the strongest, shattering the sword light. Founding Emperor dodged and avoided the impact of the power in the Dao Fruit.

Qin Mu rushed to the Grand Emperor of Consciousness when an incomparably terrifying consciousness burst forth. With a loud boom, his primordial spirit flew out from Celestial Emperor's corporeal body!

The Dao Tree swayed, and figures fell in all directions. Whether it was Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art or Goddess Tai Su's wishful thinking, they were all broken!

The Great Overarching Consciousness Skies was clear as a mirror. Only the blood that Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Xiao, Celestial Venerable Ling, and Goddess Tai Su had spilled was visible.

Founding Emperor evaded the Dao Fruit's attack with a grave expression. He wasn't injured by the Grand Emperor, but his mind was shaken.

The consciousness Grand Emperor raised his head and examined Celestial Emperor's corporeal body. He revealed a smile. "You guys have finally delivered the body I need. From today onwards, I can finally leave the Ultimate Void and descend into the world!"

He vanished into Celestial Emperor's corporeal body.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.
