Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1567: The Charm Of That Sword

The current abyss of the Ruins of End was even more dangerous than the last time Qin Mu had come here. The light tide that spewed out was even more intense and powerful than before.

Even though they were Celestial Venerables, they were still fearful of the Ruins of End.

Ever since the celestial heavens entered the ancestral court and the celestial river returned to its original river channel, the power of the Ruins of End had become many times greater than before. With Celestial Empress and her sister combining into one, the power of the Ruins of End seemed to have increased.

Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong silently stood opposite each other. The two of them didn't make a move immediately. Instead, all kinds of possibilities were running through their minds.

They were the strongest existences in the world, and consciousness was consciousness. However, it was much stronger and purer than the consciousness of ordinary people.

Only by raising one's consciousness to the god realm could one be called consciousness.

The consciousness had all kinds of uses. Other than increasing the power of the divine art, it could also forcefully wipe out the consciousness of the other party and even borrow the other party's life.

However, consciousness also had a great advantage. That was, it could deduce countless possibilities in an extremely short period of time and move ahead of the opponent!

He could even do all of the other party's future movements in his calculations!

Some people called this ability the ability to predict the future, but to a consciousness expert, it was just a probability algorithm that calculated all of your movements in advance.

For strong practitioners like Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong, their consciousnesses were already standing at the peak of this world. Combining their paths, skills, and divine arts, they could guess the opponent's subsequent actions.

However, there were too many variables when two existences with similar consciousnesses clashed.

When Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong were cultivating their consciousnesses, they didn't refine and swallow other people's consciousnesses, nor did they accept other people's offerings. Even when Qin Mu obtained the Grand Emperor's consciousness, he didn't refine it to raise his cultivation.

If he was lucky, he would be affected by the chaotic consciousness when he calculated the probability. This was the reason why the Grand Emperor's Dao wasn't perfect.

Because of this, the lord of the Beast World, the dragon, lacked intelligence.

Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong tried their best to maintain the purity of their consciousnesses to prevent it from becoming impure due to all kinds of temptations.

Other than relying on men, Celestial Venerable Gong was despicable. However, her willpower was incomparably tough and resilient, and her decisiveness was admirable.

Their consciousnesses circulated rapidly, and their auras grew stronger. They could unleash a thunderous strike at any moment.

Beads of cold sweat broke out on Celestial Venerable Gong's forehead. She had met with great difficulty when deducing Qin Mu's possible moves. Only now did she realize that what Qin Mu had learned and cultivated was actually so complicated, and there were all kinds of unknown paths, skills, and divine arts.

On the other hand, her paths, skills, and divine arts had been tested over again by Qin Mu when he was trying to refine Qin Mu in the celestial heavens.

In other words, Qin Mu knew everything about her, but she didn't know much about him.

'If my cultivation is similar, I will definitely lose!'

She thought to herself, 'However, my strong point is that my cultivation is stronger than his! He isn't at the Jade Capital Realm yet, but I'm already half of the Celestial Heavens Realm! I activate the war horn to strengthen my qi and blood, allowing my explosive power to multiply in a short period of time, killing him in one strike! I might be injured, but I won't be fatally injured. As for him, even though he can preserve his life, he will be thrown into the Ruins of End by me!'

"Let's end this quickly!"

"I have to end this quickly!"

'The longer I delay, the more likely he will be able to calculate what's targeting me!'

When she thought of this, she raised her eyebrows. At that moment, Celestial Empress' voice suddenly rang out, and she shrieked, "No, no! This divine art of reincarnation isn't right! If we do this, we won't be able to refine the little hussy! Celestial Venerable Mu! Celestial Venerable Mu!"

As Celestial Empress called out, Qin Mu's aura suddenly fluctuated. Celestial Venerable Gong immediately seized this opportunity to activate his Great Celestial Heavens!

Her celestial heavens' layout was like a bugle horn, and when she executed her technique, the bugle horn would give off a long sound, raising her qi and blood in a straight line!

In an instant, the entire sacred ground of the Ruins of End and the Holy Land of Twin Lotuses was filled with a terrifying tide of qi and blood!

Celestial Venerable Gong's power and magic power were also rising in a straight line. With a move of her feet, she seemed to have broken through the limits of time and space, passing through Qin Mu's Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm and arriving in front of him!

The dragon whip in her hand transformed into a dragon spear, and the huge spear trembled violently. It spun and stabbed towards Qin Mu!

As she moved, a smile appeared on Qin Mu's face. In Celestial Venerable Gong's eyes, this smile seemed evil and sinister.

Qin Mu ignored her incomparably overbearing attack and instead raised his hand to flick his sword. Celestial Venerable Gong's heart jumped, and the sword wound left behind by Qin Mu's sword instantly exploded!

Countless sword lights burst out from the wound and smashed into the ground like silver bottles filled with mercury.

The silver bottle broke through the lava!

"Founding Emperor's Sword Dao?"

Celestial Venerable Gong was terrified. When this spear stabbed out, she frantically mobilized her qi, blood, and magic power to suppress the injury on her chest!

She had once been defeated by Founding Emperor Sword, and Founding Emperor's Sword Dao had left an indelible shadow in her heart. It wasn't just the injuries on her body, it was also the injuries on her Dao heart!

Qin Mu flicked his sword, and she couldn't help but awaken her fear of Founding Emperor. This fear was awakened, and her instincts immediately overcame her rationality.

Her magic power was transferred to the wound, and the power of this spear instantly decreased.

Next, she immediately realized that the sword light and sword path that burst forth from the wound Qin Mu had left for her wasn't as terrifying as Founding Emperor's.

Founding Emperor only needed to flick his sword to transform the sword injuries in her Dao heart into Sword Dao. He could use her magic power and strength to strengthen this Sword Dao and cut her into pieces.

And this sword of Qin Mu's was merely to activate the remaining power of the sword path in the wound.

"Crap!"

Just as she thought of this, she was about to raise the power of this spear again when Qin Mu had already stabbed towards her dragon spear. In just an instant, twenty basic sword forms leaped in the sword light and stabbed onto this spear one after another.

Twenty crisp sounds rang out consecutively, and twenty tremors came from the body of the spear. During the first strike, Celestial Venerable Gong felt that the dragon spear was like a huge snake that had been poked seven inches. The power that had penetrated the entire spear immediately vanished, losing its connection with that power.

During the second strike, tremors came through, and the remaining spear became seven inches shorter.

Qin Mu's sword move was extremely fast. When the twentieth sword form stabbed the long spear, the power of her strike was only left with the short section of the spear she was holding!

The sword light leaped up from the spear and flicked into the heart of Celestial Venerable Gong's brows!

One wrong step led to another.

Before Celestial Venerable Gong clashed with Qin Mu, he had relied on his strong consciousness to calculate all kinds of attacks from Qin Mu. However, because he knew too little about Qin Mu, he had been figured out by Qin Mu, so he thought of subduing him with force.

However, she fell into the opponent's trap the moment she made her first move. After that, she missed by a thousand miles and suffered a crushing defeat!

She was a Celestial Venerable, after all. The moment Qin Mu flicked the sword light into the heart of her brows, her primordial spirit rose from the celestial heavens, vast and boundless. She raised her left hand and smacked the back of Celestial Venerable Gong's head.

Her left hand actually passed through the back of her head, and when Qin Mu's Calamity Sword stabbed into the heart of her brows, her left index finger tapped on the tip of the sword!

Ding.

A crisp sound rang out, and the momentum of the Calamity Sword was stopped.

A drop of cold sweat fell from Celestial Venerable Gong's forehead and hit the shiny tip of the Calamity Sword. It was split into two by the sharp tip, and a drop of blood dripped down from the heart of her brows.

In front of her, Qin Mu held his sword and was only two steps away from her.

Their distance was so close that no divine art could be faster than battle techniques. On the other hand, sword path divine arts were also extremely terrifying in close combat.

But the most terrifying thing was still the knife.

The smile on Qin Mu's face vanished, and he took a wrong step. In the next moment, Celestial Venerable Gong felt that he was behind him, and boundless knife will instantly came from his back, as if it was going to cut into his corporeal body!

This feeling was very bad. She felt her back being exposed in front of Qin Mu. The two of them weren't back-to-back formations formed by classic battle techniques. Instead, it was her back facing Qin Mu.

This was a strange phenomenon formed by the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure realm!

She immediately leaped forward and landed on a huge stamen in the twin lotuses. At the same time, the primordial spirit in the celestial heavens behind her head made a move and attacked Qin Mu who was behind her!

However, the moment her primordial spirit moved, her primordial spirit couldn't help stiffening. That was because Qin Mu's primordial spirit was behind her primordial spirit. It was also facing the front of Qin Mu!

Celestial Venerable Gong was terrified. She leaped onto the stamen, but she still felt Qin Mu behind her. The great divine art of knife path burst forth from behind her!

In the twin lotuses, the stamens were diverse. Each stamen was thousands of yards long, like tentacles that stood tall in this wonderful place, swaying along with the tide.

Celestial Venerable Gong sprinted rapidly and leaped back and forth between the stamens, doing his best to avoid the knife lights behind him.

Knife light rose from behind her. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Rays of light split the sky and were incomparably bright. However, in the next moment, they transformed into black lines.

She had to be careful and avoid the black lines that were left behind after the brightness. Those black lines were also extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness would leave knife marks on her body.

Even so, there were times when she couldn't dodge. More and more knife marks appeared on her body, and she was soon covered in injuries. Meanwhile, her primordial spirit was also speeding away to avoid Qin Mu's attacks.

Her primordial spirit was also full of knife wounds. If this continued, she would die under Qin Mu's attacks sooner or later.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out, and the twin lotuses trembled non-stop. Celestial Venerable Gong hurriedly looked over, and Celestial Empress knelt down in the center of the twin lotuses.

The woman had recovered her corporeal body of an ancient god, and her corporeal body was incomparably strong. She slowly stood up in the center of the two red and black lotuses.

'Celestial Venerable Mu' Celestial Empress cried out miserably.

Celestial Venerable Gong suddenly felt the knife light behind him vanish, and he let out a sigh of relief. 'Celestial Venerable Mu was scared away by Celestial Empress!'

She turned around and saw a sword light piercing through the heart of her brows.

At the same time, her primordial spirit in the celestial heavens was also pierced by a sword light.

Qin Mu sheathed his sword and bowed. "Dao Friend Gong, farewell."

Sword light exploded from Celestial Venerable Gong's mind!
