Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1557: Forty Thousand Years Of Chaos

Even though he had left a lot of primordial runes in Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, he could only use them once. After these runes formed the Dao markings of the Miluo Palace, they would disperse with the eruption of power.

Now, Qin Mu wanted to strike again, but he was powerless.

Celestial Venerable Xiao saw his expression and suddenly let out a sigh of relief. 'It seems like Celestial Venerable Mu only did something to my corporeal body once and didn't leave behind any other tricks. If he could leave behind a backup plan ten times, I wouldn't dare to use it even if I took back my corporeal body.'

He was extremely vigilant and thought to himself that he couldn't let his corporeal body fall into Qin Mu's hands again.

Otherwise, he didn't know what kind of strange things this brat would leave in his corporeal body. If he was assassinated, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!

"The most dangerous thing in the world is Celestial Venerable Mu's scheme!"

The Grand Emperor rushed over, and steam rose from the top of his head. It was Qin Mu's blow that had blown the top of his head away, causing his brain matter to spill out.

The Dao injuries left behind by Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Hao, and Celestial Venerable Xiao were easy to deal with. With Celestial Emperor's strong corporeal body, the Dao injuries weren't serious. He could use the Qi of Absolute Beginning to assimilate the Dao markings of these people and heal them. He then used Creation Mysterious Technique to repair the damage to his corporeal body.

Only the Dao injury left behind by Qin Mu's strike couldn't be assimilated by the primordial qi.

The wound on the top of his head was left behind by the Dao markings of Miluo Palace. The Dao markings of Miluo Palace could be said to be the crystallization of wisdom from the past sixteen universes. Not only did they contain the knowledge of the Dao of Tai Chu, but they also contained all kinds of Great Dao divine arts like Tai Yi, Tai Shi, Tai Su, Tai Chi.

Even Qin Mu, who had tried to use a few years to solve the mystery of the Dao markings of Miluo Palace, couldn't solve all of the secrets even though he had gained something.

It was also because the Dao markings of Miluo Palace were too powerful that they suppressed Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, allowing Celestial Venerable Xiao, Celestial Venerable Hao, and the rest to break through the defense of Celestial Emperor's corporeal body and severely injure him.

What was even more infuriating was that not only did Qin Mu leave him a Dao injury with the Dao markings of Miluo Palace, he even stabbed the Taiyi cane into his head, piercing through his throat from the top of his head to his abdomen!

The Taiyi Crutch was another remarkable treasure. It was a treasure that Taiyi could cut down the World Tree and use its branches to create.

Tai Yi had left the crutch to Qin Mu so that Qin Mu could follow the map to save him. However, the power of this crutch was no small matter. When Tai Yi crossed the long river of chaos, he had once used the crutch to beat prehistoric existences that had achieved the Dao. Among them, there was no lack of young masters from the Miluo Palace!

The Dao injuries that the cane had inflicted on Celestial Emperor's corporeal body and the Grand Emperor's consciousness were also hard to recover from in a short time.

Furthermore, the cane had been snatched away by the Grand Emperor, but he couldn't use it. When the cane landed in Qin Mu's hands, it was a sharp weapon that he could use wherever he wanted. If it landed in his hands, it would at most be an incomparably hard wooden stick that couldn't utilize the power of the cane.

Qin Mu utilized the golden ship to head straight for the Grand Emperor. At the same time, the Grand Emperor also rushed over, his killing intent soaring into the sky. He immediately unleashed his supreme consciousness realm and used the Qi of Absolute Beginning to penetrate it, guarding against the unchanging divine art.

Everyone on the ship shouted and overlapped their domains. Four different domains merged together and collided with the supreme consciousness realm!

Only the Sacred Lady Tai Su couldn't board the ship, nor did she have a domain. She stood alone outside the ship, continuously vibrating the bell in an attempt to disturb the Grand Emperor.

However, the Grand Emperor ignored her.

The Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven trembled, and the Grand Emperor's Dao Tree swayed. Dazzling light burst forth from his Dao fruit, quelling the remaining power of all divine arts!

Qin Mu, Founding Emperor, and the rest shouted loudly. In an instant, all kinds of divine arts were unleashed to attack the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor opened and closed with his Dao Tree behind him. This time, even he had no choice but to execute all of his methods. Even the Dao Tree Dao Fruit was activated, and he attacked everyone with one strike after another!

The five people's eyes turned red from killing. Qin Mu used his divine treasure realm as the capital to assist everyone. No matter how heavily injured everyone was, they would be instantly healed by his divine treasure realm!

Not only that, when standing in his domain, no matter which direction the Grand Emperor attacked from, the divine art would turn into a frontal attack, allowing them to react immediately!

Even so, the four of them were still in danger!

The Grand Emperor was simply too powerful. When he activated his Dao Fruit, he could even freeze the various domains of the four of them combined!

It was especially so for Qin Mu. The Grand Emperor hated him to the bone and took special care of him. Not only did he activate his Dao fruit, but all kinds of Dao markings flew out from his Dao fruit to completely suppress his realm. He even activated the Dao Tree, and its branches and leaves flew in all directions. The Dao Tree's leaves danced in all kinds of divine arts as they approached Qin Mu.

Meanwhile, the branches were like sharp arrows, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes soft and sometimes hard. They stabbed furiously at Qin Mu!

Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Founding Emperor were also injured in order to protect Qin Mu. This was so that Qin Mu could activate his divine treasure realm to protect their lives.

Boom!

The Grand Emperor landed on the bow of the golden ship, and the faces of the four people on the ship instantly turned pale. There was a hint of despair in their hearts.

If the Grand Emperor didn't board the ship, they would still have the power to fight. Qin Mu could use this golden ship to strike the Grand Emperor like a heavy weapon, which could more or less alleviate their crisis.

However, when the Grand Emperor boarded the golden ship, it lost its effectiveness as a heavy weapon.

On the golden ship, the atmosphere was tense. The four of them stared at the Grand Emperor.

The Grand Emperor had a dark expression. Behind him, the Dao Tree waved its branches and roots like a monster with countless tentacles, slowly rising from the bottom of the ship.

The Grand Emperor's Dao fruit became brighter and purer, and the Great Dao within it seemed to have completely awakened.

So far, the Dao Tree Dao Fruit had not suffered any damage!

Only the ancient Celestial Emperor's corporeal body was damaged.

This scene left everyone in despair!

“Hao’er, you should go all out, right?”

Celestial Venerable Xiao suddenly looked at Celestial Venerable Hao and said indifferently, "In the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital City, you almost killed me, but that's not all."

Celestial Venerable Hao snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Father, what about you? You entered the Numinous Sky Hall of the ancestral court, and that young master of the Numinous Sky Hall wouldn't just treat your injuries, right? Now that things have come to this, you're still hiding it. Aren't you lacking the spirit of Celestial Emperor, becoming so stingy?"

Celestial Venerable Xiao's gaze was fixed on Tai Yi, who was at the bow of the ship, and she said with a smile, "As expected of my good son. In that case, let's go all out and see what we have in the Jade Capital City!"

Celestial Venerable Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "As expected of Father. However, you have already lost to me twice. Father is old, and you will lose a third time in the future!"

Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled faintly.

Qin Mu was alarmed and took a glance at the two of them, thinking to himself, 'Both of them are old foxes, hiding their capital so well. However, I'm not bad, I also have two big capital!'

He secretly looked at Founding Emperor and revealed a questioning look. Founding Emperor nodded silently.

Founding Emperor was his first capital.

As long as Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art sent them back to the time when Founding Emperor achieved the Dao, the Great Overarching Sword Path that Founding Emperor had imprinted in the ultimate void would be able to sense them.

When the two Great Overarching Heavens clashed, Founding Emperor's Dao Tree would arrive, and his cultivation would definitely increase drastically!

Celestial Venerable Ling was Qin Mu's second capital.

Celestial Venerable Ling had cultivated for 40,000 years, so she should be able to make up for her shortcomings in cultivation. In addition, she had spent 40,000 years researching the primordial runes of the Miro Palace. She would definitely become the deciding factor in this battle!

Furthermore, Founding Emperor sensed his Great Overarching Sword Dao, which meant that they had reached the time when they entered the celestial river. It also meant that Celestial Venerable Ling would be arriving soon after 40,000 years!

"This isn't just a battle between us and the Grand Emperor, it's also a battle between us, Celestial Venerable Hao, and Celestial Venerable Xiao!"

Qin Mu was a little nervous. How many benefits had the three young masters and four young masters of Miluo Palace given to Celestial Venerable Xiao and Celestial Venerable Hao? Could Founding Emperor and Celestial Venerable Ling win this battle?

Could he save Celestial Venerable Yun?

It all depended on the outcome of this battle!

On the World Crossing Golden Ship, there was another figure moving. The Grand Emperor revealed a puzzled expression, but he didn't see who that figure was.

"It's time to end it."

With his hands behind his back, the crown of the Grand Emperor's head was lifted, and his brain was steaming. He glanced at the four of them indifferently, then at Sacred Lady Tai Su who was still ringing the bell. He said leisurely, "Forty thousand years have passed unknowingly, and the four of you have accompanied me for forty thousand years. What happened during those forty thousand years makes me sigh endlessly."

When the four of them heard that, they also sighed endlessly.

During these forty thousand years, the Founding Emperor Era rose and declined, avoiding Carefree Village. The ten Celestial Venerables controlled the structure of the imperial court and completely controlled the power of the celestial heavens. They created the fake corporeal body of Celestial Emperor and seized Celestial Emperor to command the vassals.

Forty thousand years was still considered peaceful for them until Qin Mu's appearance.

From escaping the Grand Emperor's corporeal body to being killed and turned into ashes.

From Founding Emperor walking out of Carefree Village to Founding Emperor slashing the fake Celestial Emperor's corporeal body, the sword splitting the celestial heavens, and the ancestral court appearing.

From when Qin Mu created the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge to when all the worlds were connected by the bridges.

From the unification of the celestial heavens' ten thousand worlds to the celestial heavens migrating the ancestral court.

From the ten Celestial Venerables' alliance, which was like branches of the same branch, to the alliance collapsing.

From Celestial Venerable Hong's death to Heavenly Lady Qiang's death, to Yuanmu and Celestial Empress fusing into one and going crazy.

From Tai Yi to Tai Su and Tai Chi appearing one after another.

From the appearance of the Jade Capital of the ancestral court to the visit of the ten Celestial Venerables to the Miluo Palace.

Behind all of this, there seemed to be a huge dark hand pushing silently. However, Celestial Venerable Xiao and Celestial Venerable Hao had experienced it personally and knew that the mastermind behind all of this was actually Qin Mu.

Qin Mu had either intentionally or unintentionally led the changes in the affairs of the world for the past hundred years, pushing the situation of the entire universe to its current state.

This was a drastic change that hadn't been seen in a million years, and it was also a drastic change that hadn't been seen since the birth of this universe. It was all because of Qin Mu!

"Now, everything can be concluded!"

The Grand Emperor gave a long roar, and countless branches of the Dao Tree behind him rose into the sky. The Dao fruits shone brightly, and the sound of the Dao reverberated!

The Grand Emperor took a step forward, and the power of the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven burst forth, crushing everyone!

At the same time, behind Celestial Venerable Xiao, a huge hall rose into the air. It was the apparition of the Ancestral Court's Numinous Sky Hall. This Numinous Sky Hall was different from the other Numinous Sky Halls. The hall spun, and countless densely packed Dao markings appeared. It was extremely complicated!

His cultivation and magic power advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching a peak that he could never reach before!

At the same time, behind Celestial Venerable Hao, a ten thousand heavenly wheels appeared, and all kinds of complicated markings appeared on the huge heavenly wheels. In the center of the heavenly wheels was an Ancestral Court Purple Firmament Hall, giving off a heaven overflowing Dao might!

The power of the two of them rose straight up in that instant, and their power even surpassed Founding Emperor's Sword Dao!

Just as the two of them unleashed their power, in the Ultimate Void, a Great Overarching Sword Dao Sky stabbed over horizontally and collided with the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven!

The two Great Overarching Heavens came together, and the Dao Tree of the Sword Dao appeared behind Founding Emperor. A Dao Flower bloomed on the Sword Dao Tree, and Founding Emperor's aura flourished!

On the other side, at the source of Surging River, Celestial Venerable Ling raised her head and saw the sky splitting open. Layers of void appeared, revealing the ultimate void.

She saw the Great Overarching Heaven.

"Ling, is that you?" At this moment, a trembling voice came from behind her.

Celestial Venerable Ling turned back and saw Celestial Venerable Yue, who was trembling with excitement, walking towards her. She revealed a look of disbelief.

Celestial Venerable Ling revealed a smile.
