Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1595: Battle Of Youdu

That palm smacked onto the Life and Death Book, and the powerful force almost tore the Youdu treasure apart. Celestial Venerable You raised his head and looked into the sky. The devil light from his primordial spirit made him feel like he was on fire.

Outside Youdu, Celestial Venerable Xu was furious. Behind him, celestial palaces appeared to form the celestial heavens. There were also twenty-six throne halls protecting the celestial heavens. With the second strike, he planned to erase the imprint in the Life and Death Book and take it for himself.

However, she clearly didn't know that there wasn't any imprint in the Life and Death Book. Instead, the Great Dao of Youdu automatically chose its owner, and there was no need for the person who controlled the treasure to place any imprint.

If it was the owner chosen by the Life and Death Book, there was no need for any brand to activate all the power of the Life and Death Book. However, the Life and Death Book chose its owner, just like how Celestial Venerable You used the Life and Death Book to test Qin Mu and Qin Fengqing.

Qin Mu could resist the devil nature of the Life and Death Book, so he could unleash a portion of its power.

Qin Fengqing wasn't moved by the devil nature of the Life and Death Book, so the Life and Death Book chose him as its master. He could also unleash all the abilities of the Life and Death Book.

Celestial Venerable Xu didn't know this, so she took the initiative to seize the treasure. However, she didn't know that even if she could use her strong magic power to seize the Life and Death Book, it was hard to say if it would be a blessing or a disaster.

It was more likely that her devil nature was stimulated by the Life and Death Book, and she became a devil who didn't care about her family. She didn't control the Life and Death Book.

Behind her, Ancestral God King controlled Heaven Duke's corporeal body, and his huge face covered the sky, ready to invade Youdu at any time.

Invading Youdu wasn't easy for him. The Xuandu Heavenly Dao and the Youdu Great Dao clashed, and leaving Xuandu would weaken the power of Heaven Duke's corporeal body and the power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, if Celestial Venerable Xu was to absorb the Great Dao of Youdu and control it, the pressure of invading Youdu would be much less.

At this moment, Ancestral God King frowned. He still couldn't accept Earth Count's death.

"Why did Earth Count die quietly?"

How difficult was it to kill Heaven Duke in the battle of Xuandu?

The ten Celestial Venerables were all moved, and the ancient gods of taiji helped. However, killing Heaven Duke took a lot of effort. Countless soldiers of the celestial heavens died, and many Celestial Venerables who participated in the battle were injured. Only then did they kill Heaven Duke.

Even though the Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens were much stronger now, it wasn't easy to kill Earth Count, who was as famous as Heaven Duke. Unless Celestial Venerable Hao and Grand Primordium, who had achieved the Dao with their own power, made a move.

Furthermore, Celestial Venerable Hao didn't just want to kill Earth Count, he also wanted to encircle Founding Emperor Qin Ye, Celestial Venerable Ling, and Celestial Venerable Yue!

However, to Ancestral God King's surprise, Earth Count died just like that!

They had prepared for so long, was it all for naught?

Who killed Earth Count?

Why did Earth Count die silently?

'Celestial Venerable Xu's dream is to kill Earth Count and become Earth Count herself. When faced with such a situation, it's no wonder she lost her composure and lost her composure,' Ancestral God King thought to himself.

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit rose and passed through the Life and Death Book to welcome Celestial Venerable Xu.

Ancestral God King laughed loudly, and countless stars suddenly appeared in the sky above Youdu. The stars hung resplendently in the sky, dispersing the darkness of Youdu. Heaven Duke's corporeal body descended to block Celestial Venerable You.

"Benevolent Saintly King Equal to Heaven, did you kill Earth Count?"

Ancestral God King praised, "Earth Count raised a tiger to cause trouble. I didn't expect that instead of falling into the hands of his daughter, Celestial Venerable Xu, I would fall into your hands! I admire your decisiveness. Now that there are a few vacancies for the ten Celestial Venerables, Emperor Haotian, I'm looking forward to it. You should surrender to the celestial heavens!"

Celestial Venerable You was a master of the Youdu Devil Dao, and Ancestral God King was a master of the Xuandu Heavenly Dao. Xuandu and Youdu were like fire and water, and the two Great Daos were the same.

At the instant the two of them collided, they felt that they had met their nemesis. The Great Dao in their bodies boiled and rumbled, urging them to eliminate their opponents and eradicate their Great Dao!

"Celestial Venerable You, even though you have the strongest primordial spirit, your abilities are already outdated!"

Ancestral God King shouted and executed Heaven Duke's corporeal body. The light of countless stars burst forth and merged into Heaven Duke's body. The thirty-five celestial palaces behind Heaven Duke's head formed a huge celestial heavens, and the power of his magic power was close to Heaven Duke's peak!

"Let me show you the true battle power of the Great Celestial Heavens!"

When Heaven Duke struck down, Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit was blown back. His primordial spirit wasn't inferior to ancient gods like Heaven Duke and Earth Count, but his corporeal body was much inferior.

With Heaven Duke's corporeal body and the magic power of Ancestral God King, even his primordial spirit couldn't defend against it.

In particular, Ancestral God King had received great benefits from the ancestral court and cultivated thirty throne halls, making him even more powerless to resist!

Even though Celestial Venerable You had absorbed a lot of knowledge about Eternal Peace's reform, Ancestral God King also had a reincarnation in Eternal Peace. In terms of divine arts, Ancestral God King wasn't much inferior to him.

At this moment, Earth Count was already dead, and the Great Dao of Youdu was weakening. He had chosen a new master, and he didn't have the advantage in Youdu.

With Ancestral God King's help, Celestial Venerable Xu was able to unleash her full power and immediately suppressed the power of the Life and Death Book. The Life and Death Book became smaller, and it soon returned to its normal size.

Just as she was about to take the Life and Death Book into her hands, she suddenly heard the sound of a zither. There was a tinkling sound, and the distance between her and the Life and Death Book grew further.

Between her and the Life and Death Book, there seemed to be boundless space growing, making it impossible for her to take the Life and Death Book.

"Celestial Venerable Yue!"

Celestial Venerable Xu looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman sitting in the void, plucking the strings as if there was no one around.

Celestial Venerable Xu snorted coldly, and his primordial spirit appeared. He rushed forward with a whistle and grabbed at the Life and Death Book. However, the sound of the zither suddenly became playful and light. Space became big and small in the sound of the zither. It was long and short, overlapping and jumping up and down!

Celestial Venerable Xu sensed danger. Celestial Venerable Yue's zither notes were like countless blades of space that slashed at her primordial spirit, damaging it and almost shattering it into countless pieces!

"Fire!"

Celestial Venerable Xu shouted angrily. As soon as she finished speaking, the layers of space behind Celestial Venerable Yue distorted. Circles of Dao fire swirled in space, forming 28 levels of the Heavenly Dao Realm, preventing the zither notes from breaking through the distorted Dao fire.

Celestial Venerable Huo appeared behind Celestial Venerable Yue, and the twenty-eight twisted Dao flames transformed into oval fire wheels that bound Celestial Venerable Yue within!

At the same time, a palm stretched out from the 35th void and pulled Celestial Venerable Yue into the 35th void to escape from the Dao fire.

The Wheel of Dao Fire spun and wiped out everything. However, Celestial Venerable Yue had already escaped in advance, causing Celestial Venerable Huo's attack to miss.

Celestial Venerable Huo suddenly turned around and saw a cold and cheerless woman in front of him. The vertical eye on her forehead opened up, revealing a Grand Primordium Divine Stone.

The light from the divine stone burst forth, and Celestial Venerable Huo felt a snow-white light engulfing him.

When the light faded, he saw himself returning to the Jade Pool Meeting a million years ago. He was in the Slow Winding Pavilion and saw Celestial Venerable Hao, Son of Heaven Yin, and Celestial Venerable Yu.

He saw Son of Heaven Yin suddenly make a move, using the Dao of Youdu to seal Celestial Venerable Yu's primordial spirit. Almost at the same time, Celestial Venerable Hao's attack landed on Celestial Venerable Yu!

The two of them worked together to kill the defenseless Celestial Venerable Yu in the Slow Winding Pavilion!

Celestial Venerable Huo's body suddenly trembled. "Big Brother Yu… I want to take revenge for Big Brother Yu and kill my enemy… No! This is Lang Wo's illusion!"

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Hao turned around and seemed to see him. His face turned cold as he shouted, "Kneel!"

Celestial Venerable Huo's knees went weak, and he knelt on the ground. He then heard Celestial Venerable Yue's zither music and came to a realization. 'This is an illusion! The divine king of the masters of creation wants to destroy my Dao heart with his consciousness illusion. He's underestimating me!'

Boom—

The entire Jade Pool Meeting suddenly burned, and everything was incinerated by the Dao fire like a burning painting.

Celestial Venerable Huo leaped up and was about to attack Lang Wo when the scenery around him changed. He saw the burning Heaven Han Celestial Heavens!

He saw his other self attacking Celestial Venerable Yun with Celestial Venerable Hao, Lang Xuan, Ancestral God King, Ming Fangyu, and Celestial Venerable Gong!

He saw his palm stabbed into Celestial Venerable Yun's chest and said to him with tears streaming down his face, "Yun, you should understand me, right?"

Celestial Venerable Yue's zither notes came again.

Celestial Venerable Huo snorted angrily. His Dao fire burned and destroyed everything. However, the first layer of illusion vanished, and he appeared in another.

He had gone to kill Light Emperor, and the human race's Light Emperor had led his army to attack the celestial heavens and the starry sky outside the Southern Heavenly Gate of the celestial heavens. Celestial Venerable Huo had personally led his army to suppress him, but he couldn't win after a long battle.

Celestial Venerable Hao came forward, and Celestial Venerable Huo saw his other self bowing to Celestial Venerable Hao. He revealed a flattering smile. "It's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that this person's creation divine art has been cultivated to the point where his corporeal body is indestructible. However, when I fought him, I realized that there's a place he can't cultivate, and that's his primordial spirit! I guarantee Son of Heaven Yin that I can kill this person!"

Celestial Venerable Huo's expression was grim. No matter what kind of illusion it was, it was all shattered.

The sound of the zither was melodious.

There were scenes of him assassinating Celestial Venerable Yue in the subsequent layers of illusions. There were scenes of him conquering Founding Emperor, there were scenes of him trying to kill Lan Yutian on the celestial river, and there were also scenes of him enslaving the Southern Heavenly Human Tribe.

Celestial Venerable Huo didn't even look. He used his overflowing magic power to shatter all illusions and finally saw Lang Wo. Without any explanation, he attacked!

His magic power far surpassed Lang Wo's. Even though she was a master of creation with a strong corporeal body, her consciousness was the strongest in the world. With the death of the Grand Emperor and the destruction of Gong Yun, her consciousness was unrivaled.

However, her magic power was much inferior to Celestial Venerable Huo's. Celestial Venerable Huo's magic power was second only to Celestial Venerable Hao and Grand Primordium!

Lang Wo's expression changed drastically as she raised her hand to block the attack.

With a loud rumble, Celestial Venerable Huo's qi and blood fluctuated, and he revealed a look of astonishment.

Lang Wo's magic power wasn't much inferior to his!

He attacked without hesitation, his Dao fire blazing as he attacked ruthlessly. Lang Wo, who was opposite him, also used all kinds of divine arts to clash head-on with him. Her divine arts and paths were extremely intricate!

Both of them were injured. Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Huo's heart trembled. Lang Wo, who was opposite him, seemed to have thought of something. Both of them said in unison, "Three rooms on the Void Bridge!"

In the thirty-fifth void of Youdu, Celestial Venerable Yue sat in the void, plucking the strings of her zither. Her gaze landed on her ten fingers, and Lang Wo stood behind her. The consciousness in the heart of her brows burst forth.

Meanwhile, in Youdu, Celestial Venerable Huo was fighting Celestial Venerable Xu to the death.

The three rooms at the end of the Void Bridge in the Land of the Great Void were originally jointly built by Celestial Venerable Yue and the chiefs and elders of the masters of creation race. Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu had once been trapped there, barely surviving.

At the same time, in the sky above the ancestral court, Celestial Venerable Hao rose and revealed a bewildered expression. His gaze pierced through the Youdu of the ancestral court and walked down from the celestial heavens.

Under the World Tree, Founding Emperor rose, and his clothes fluttered as he walked out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains Holy Land.
