Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1564: Earth Count Is My Brother

Qin Mu had a grim expression. Celestial Venerable Hao was definitely going to the Ultimate Void to use his power to achieve the Dao and imprint his power into the Ultimate Void!

After reaching that step, Celestial Venerable Hao would achieve great success with his power. He would complete an unprecedented achievement!

Before him, there was no one in this universe who could achieve the Dao with force, and he would be the first!

"Using force to achieve the Dao to imprint the void, there might have been some in the past, but not now. After Celestial Venerable Hao achieves the Dao with force, what impact will it have on this universe?"

He sat in the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and fell into deep thought.

Celestial Venerable Hao cultivated the Numinous Sky Hall and Purple Firmament Hall, borrowing the power of these two halls to gain unprecedented power.

If his power was imprinted in the Ultimate Void, did that mean that Purple Firmament Hall and Numinous Sky Hall were imprinted in the Ultimate Void of this universe?

Would doing this make the two young masters of Miluo Palace arrive earlier?

Once the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was cleared, Celestial Venerable Gong hesitated for a moment before bringing the Myriad Heavenly Wheel into the bridge.

Entering the bridge meant entering Earth Count's territory, and she couldn't help feeling nervous.

Earth Count was an existence on par with Heaven Duke, and it was hard for her to fight him alone. If she wanted to enter the Ruins of End, she would have to pass through Youdu.

At Jade Lock Pass, the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge shone, and Celestial Venerable Gong brought the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel out from the sacrificial altar. Lu Li was waiting by the side, and just as she was about to bow and pay her respects, Celestial Venerable Gong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say anything else. Head to the Ruins of End immediately!"

Lu Li hurriedly led the way and quickly said, "Celestial Venerable, please follow me! I didn't know the location of the Ruins of End until the ghost river appeared again. The river of the underworld flows into Jade Lock Pass and into the Ruins of End…"

Celestial Venerable Gong looked back and saw the majestic celestial river rushing over from the Primordial Realm and flowing into Youdu, transforming into the ghost river in Youdu. The long stream flowed between Earth Count's horns and was extremely shocking!

The nether river revolved around Earth Count's incomparably huge corporeal body and flowed all the way to his feet. Finally, it landed in the darkness in front of his feet, which was the Jade Capital.

"…Little god has been suppressed by Earth Count all these years, and his days are also extremely hard. Earth Count is fierce, and he's not good to us gods of the celestial heavens. Especially that Benevolent Saintly King Equal to Heaven, he's even more fiendish. He didn't allow us to interfere with Youdu all these years… That's right, there's one more thing!"

Lu Li said, "Some time ago, Celestial Empress ran over and injured some of us!"

Celestial Venerable Gong was slightly stunned. "Heavenly Lady Yan ran over and injured you guys? What is she doing here?"

She thought about it. Ever since the ancient god of taiji rebelled and took Heavenly Lady Yan and Shi Qiluo away, she hadn't heard any news about Heavenly Lady Yan.

She wasn't afraid of Heavenly Lady Yan and didn't mind.

"…Little god is being bullied, so I was wondering if Celestial Venerable could put in a good word for me in the celestial heavens and transfer me to Mingdu? Little god is willing to be a general under Son of Heaven Yin and work for him," Lu Li said carefully.

Celestial Venerable Gong was about to speak when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly looked around, and his expression changed slightly. "Lu Li, why did the aura of the devil path in Jade Lock Pass suddenly become heavier?"

Lu Li was slightly stunned, and she hurriedly looked around. She saw that the aura of the Great Dao of Youdu in Jade Lock Pass was becoming denser, and the Youdu devil qi was also becoming denser. Even those devil gods that hadn't entered the path could feel that the Great Dao of Youdu had suddenly become intense!

Suddenly, Qin Mu popped his head out from the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and sneered. "Celestial Venerable Gong, you are in big trouble! My big brother Earth Count has already discovered me! If you die, you will die!"

Celestial Venerable Gong was furious. "Celestial Venerable Mu has always been trapped in the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. With me around, it's hard to send your consciousness out. In that case, who leaked the news and let Earth Count know you are here?"

She revealed a suspicious look and swept her gaze at Lu Li.

Lu Li felt a chill down her spine and didn't dare to speak.

Qin Mu smiled. "Celestial Venerable Gong, look up, Earth Count has already noticed you!"

Celestial Venerable Gong raised his head to take a look, and his expression changed drastically. She saw the Great Dao of Youdu boiling, and the Great Dao of Youdu gathered into a stream. There were a total of sixty-four streams, and they were filled with overflowing baleful aura as they surged towards Earth Count's huge body!

Earth Count's huge corporeal body was entangled by the devil qi and the devil path. His body started to move, and his incomparably huge head lowered to look at his feet!

Jade Lock Pass was right under Earth Count's feet!

When the third eye in the heart of Earth Count's brows opened up, even Celestial Venerable Gong couldn't help but shudder. He shouted sternly, "Who leaked the news?"

Lu Li's face turned ashen, and she screeched, "Celestial Venerable, how would I know…"

Before she could finish his sentence, her head had already exploded. She was killed by Celestial Venerable Gong in one blow, and even her primordial spirit and soul were shattered!

Qin Mu's expression was also slightly nervous, and his heart was twitching violently. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Earth Count, my big brother also can't escape death unless you can escape to the Ruins of End before he makes a move! Celestial Venerable Gong, surrender! Aren't you going to let me out?"

He was trapped in the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, which was a supreme treasure refined by Celestial Venerable Hao using the divine metal and divine materials of the ancestral court. It was divided into the inner and outer celestial heavens. Each celestial heavens had thirty-six celestial palaces and fifty-six throne halls.

Celestial Venerable Hao was afraid that he would escape, so he placed layers of seals on him. Even though it wasn't difficult for Qin Mu, with Celestial Venerable Gong around, Qin Mu wouldn't be able to escape with just a little pressure.

Celestial Venerable Gong sneered, and the devil fire in the vertical eye in the heart of Earth Count's brows burned furiously, becoming brighter. She was terrified as she knew she wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from Earth Count!

The masters of creation were born with weak souls, and because they had the consciousness cultivation system, they didn't cultivate souls and primordial spirits. Therefore, Earth Count was the bane of the masters of creation.

Although Celestial Venerable Gong had reincarnated and made up for the deficiencies in her soul and primordial spirit over the years, her primordial spirit was still inferior to the other Celestial Venerables.

Facing an existence like Earth Count, one strike could probably turn her primordial spirit into fine powder!

Just as she was about to bring the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel to the place where the netherworld river had fallen, she saw two legs grow out from under the wheel. They were Qin Mu's legs, and they were extremely fast. They were like two wheels that were spinning rapidly as they rushed towards the Ruins of End!

Celestial Venerable Gong was stunned. He hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the heavenly wheel. Qin Mu's expression was incomparably nervous as he shouted, "Run! Run!"

'Celestial Venerable Mu seems to be even more nervous than me. Isn't Earth Count his big brother?'

Celestial Venerable Gong was bewildered, but at that moment, the vertical eye in the heart of Earth Count's brows had already activated. An incomparably dark devil fire descended from the sky and struck Jade Lock Pass!

Celestial Venerable Gong braced himself and rushed forward. The power of the devil fire was astonishing, and before he could reach Jade Lock Pass, the countless soldiers of the celestial heavens in Jade Lock Pass were all ignited!

This kind of burning wasn't the burning of their flesh, but of their primordial spirits. The devil fire that their primordial spirits transformed into spewed out from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses. In an instant, countless primordial spirits of devil gods were burned to ashes!

They raised their heads and opened their arms. Black smoke spewed out from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and their bodies trembled violently. Soon, they returned to normal and stood there motionlessly.

Their corporeal bodies were still there, but their primordial spirits were dead, and their corporeal bodies were empty!

The entire Jade Lock Pass instantly became an empty city filled with corpses!

Cold air rushed up from Celestial Venerable Gong's heart, and his scalp turned numb. Earth Count wasn't like Heaven Duke, and Heaven Duke was the Heavenly Dao. Even when they attacked Xuandu, Heaven Duke didn't kill much.

On the other hand, Youdu was the origin of the devil path. Earth Count was a natural-born ancient god of the devil path, and the 64 Great Daos of Youdu were the 64 innate devil path!

Once this ancient god of the devil path became murderous, he would dare to kill anyone!

Back then, he had killed his way into the celestial heavens!

"Faster! Faster!"

Qin Mu seemed to be even more anxious than her. He kept urging her, "Gong Yun, can you do it? If you can't, undo the seal and let me out. I'll bring you into the Ruins of End!"

Celestial Venerable Gong gritted his teeth and rushed forward, feeling even more bewildered. 'Celestial Venerable Mu seems to be more afraid of Earth Count than me…'

Her speed was extremely fast, and she rushed into the forest of monoliths. Within the forest were countless gods and devils that had committed great crimes and suffered great hardship. They burned continuously in the karmic flames, suffering great pain.

Celestial Venerable Gong passed by a forest of Hellfire Monuments and took a casual glance, slightly stunned.

"Ah Chou Earth Count!"

She saw Ah Chou Earth Count sitting in the incomparably dense and terrifying hellfire. The terror of the hellfire made her heart palpitate.

That terrifying hellfire was filled with sins, the deepest sins of the mortal world and the gods and devils, and the most evil negative emotions. Even a Celestial Venerable like her would fall into the devil path and have all kinds of evil thoughts and heart devils that would destroy her Dao!

'Even though Ah Chou Earth Count is guilty, he shouldn't have to endure the burning of such strong karma fire. He shouldn't have to burn for so long…'

Just as she thought until here, she saw an elder with white eyebrows, white beard, and white eyes in the Hellfire Monument Forest. He was also suffering in the fire and was in extreme pain.

"This old man looks like Heaven Duke…"

Celestial Venerable Gong didn't have time to think too much. She rushed through the Hellfire Monument Forest, and in front of it was the Nether River, which flowed into a huge hole!

In the back, the strike from the vertical eye in the heart of Earth Count's brows had already landed. The entire Jade Lock Pass trembled violently, and waves of air swept up countless corpses!

What was strange was that even though the wave was terrifying, the corpses of the gods and devils weren't damaged at all. The corpses were intact, and even though the ground of Jade Lock Pass trembled and flaked, it was still intact.

Celestial Venerable Gong tried his best to rush forward, but the wave raised by Earth Count's strike had already reached her back. Devil flames blazed, igniting her primordial spirit.

Celestial Venerable Gong felt a sharp pain coming from her soul, and it was as if countless devils were screaming in her head, making her unable to hear anything!

In the Myriad Heavenly Wheel, Qin Mu hurriedly stretched out his legs and sprinted.

Celestial Venerable Gong gritted his teeth and followed after him. The two of them rushed into the underworld river one after another and were swept up by the water of the underworld river, tumbling down!

Earth Count's attack missed, and he stretched out his hand to grab the entire Styx River. This Styx River was formed by the celestial river flowing into Youdu, and it was extremely wide. However, it was easily grabbed by him and pulled outwards.

For a moment, the water of the Styx River flowed backward, pulling the two people in the water back.

Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong were astonished and thought to themselves, 'My life is over!'

Right at this moment, the waves in the water churned, and a crazy woman was pulled out by Earth Count. She couldn't help but be furious, and she screeched, "Earth Count, you dare to spoil our plans?"

That crazy woman severed the nether river in one blow, and Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong were immediately sucked into the huge crack, falling down.

The crazy woman attacked Earth Count's huge hand in an extremely barbaric manner. She fought a few hundred rounds with Earth Count, and only then did her anger dissipate. She returned to the huge crack in Youdu.
