Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1698: Celestial Venerable Yun Breaks The Situation

It was hard to say if the most important part of this battle was on Qin Mu's side or Carefree Village's side. Because no matter which side lost, Eternal Peace and the Primordial Realm would fall.

When Celestial Venerable Yun walked down Carefree Village, Celestial Venerable Yue, Divine King Lang Wo, Celestial Venerable You, Tai Shi, and Lan Yutian each welcomed their opponents.

Celestial Venerable Yue and Divine King Lang Wo flew up to block Ancestral God King, who was trying to fly over Carefree Village to lead the Xuandu Sun Guardian to attack Eternal Peace. Celestial Venerable You then clashed with Celestial Venerable Xu, who had killed his way into the Primordial Realm's Youdu. Tai Shi blocked the two ancient gods of Taiji with ease. The three of them took out their accompanying treasures and tried their best to persuade each other.

As for Lan Yutian, he went up to Mistress Yuanmu in a daze, making people's hearts jump.

Celestial Venerable Yun walked towards Celestial Emperor Hao.

Celestial Venerables and those who had achieved the Dao walked in the sky, and below them was a torrent of gods and devils that spread out from three sides of Carefree Village. The battlefield even extended to Supreme Emperor Heaven, and the flames of war ignited everywhere!

This time, the attacks of the celestial heavens were extremely terrifying, and they used all their strength. Even with Wen Tiange dispatching the entire situation, Yan Yunxi, Guan Cha, and Han Tang taking charge of one side, and even with the opening emperor Yi Yue personally taking charge, the flames of war still reached Carefree Village when the three celestial heavens' masters attacked together!

Celestial Venerable Yun ignored all of this and went to welcome Celestial Emperor Hao.

Emperor Hao Tian was currently a man, and Second Young Master was only surprised that Qin Mu had killed the eight ancient god clones of Hall Master Ling Guan in such a short time, so he came out to take a look. However, she wasn't interested in the battle of Carefree Village, so she gave her body to Emperor Hao Tian.

"Yun, you are just a defeated opponent."

Celestial Emperor Hao's gaze landed on Celestial Venerable Yun's face, and he moved his gaze away from Celestial Venerable Yun's face. He looked towards the topmost level of Carefree Village, the Grand Pure Land, and said leisurely, "What a delicate trap. Hall Master Ling Guan's corporeal body has already transformed into an ancient god, and he can send his clones to kill the leaders of Carefree Village, Eternal Peace, Heavenly Yin, Buddha Realm, Dao Sect, and Beast Realm. This is a necessary attack to save him. Celestial Venerable Mu has a weakness, and that is that he values kinship and friendship too much. I saw his weakness a long time ago. As long as he has a weakness, he's not invincible."

He smiled and said, "Regardless of whether Spirit Official Hall Master is able to kill the cornerstones of Eternal Peace, my strategy has already been achieved. That is to make the sentimental Celestial Venerable Mu have no choice but to leave Carefree Village to rescue them. If he isn't in Carefree Village, Carefree Village won't be able to stop me and my army. This battle, Carefree Village will be at peace."

Celestial Venerable Yun said indifferently, "Celestial Venerable Hao, you forgot that I'm still here."

"You also have a weakness, Celestial Venerable Yun."

Behind Emperor Hao Tian, Tai Chu slowly walked over. Emperor Hao Tian was calm and composed as he said, "Brother Yun, your weakness is to endure ruthlessly. If you are heartless, it's hard to gain the loyalty of others. Enduring silently means giving in. I used this weakness of yours to defeat you during the Dragon Han Era. You won't be able to receive the help of Celestial Venerable Huo, Lang Xuan, Ancestral God King, Celestial Venerable Gong, Heavenly Lady Qiang, and the rest. I know how to get along with them and form a community of interests with them. If you endure silently, it means that you will choose to give in and give up more benefits in order to achieve your goal. That's why I can slowly take away the power of the Heaven Alliance that you have worked so hard to manage, seizing the power of the Heaven Alliance, and excluding you."

Emperor Hao Tian smiled. "Are you convinced?"

Celestial Venerable Yun revealed a smile and shook his head. "I've never submitted."

Emperor Hao Tian chuckled and said, "Grand Imperial Sire, he's left it for you. Brother Yun, may I trouble you to make way? I want to take a look at Celestial Venerable Qin's palace and have a seat."

Tai Chu walked forward. Behind him, in the Grand Overarching Qi Celestial Heavens, branches swayed as he walked towards Celestial Venerable Yun.

Celestial Venerable Yun still stood in front of him and Celestial Emperor Hao. Celestial Emperor Hao frowned and laughed. "Brother Yun, are you planning to stop me and the Grand Imperial Sire at the same time?"

At that moment, Tai Chu suddenly stopped and looked at his shadow and Celestial Venerable Yun's shadow.

Ancestral God King and countless Sun Guardians flew over the sky of Carefree Village. There were huge suns in the sky, and the sunlight was extremely sinister. Even the celestial river was boiling from the heat!

Because there were too many suns in the sky, they had no shadows. However, Tai Chu found that he had a shadow with Celestial Venerable Yun, and their shadows were connected.

The corners of Tai Chu's eyes twitched. When he stretched out his hand to pull out his sword, the Connate Qi erupted!

Right at this moment, a knife light shone from the shadow. It went up from Tai Chu's crotch and raised the knife!

Chi—

Tai Chu was split into two!

Shang Jun's body appeared, and he cleaved apart the corporeal body of Tai Chu with a knife. The knife light then rained down like rain, slicing the two halves of the corporeal body of the Tai Chu into pieces!

Back then, Tai Chu corporeal body was the corporeal body of the ancient Celestial Emperor, and it was known as the strongest corporeal body. Now, it was chopped into countless pieces by Shang Jun's knife light!

What Shang Jun had shattered wasn't only Tai Chu's corporeal body, but also his primordial spirit!

As an existence that achieved the Dao through killing, Shang Jun's first move was a peerless killing move. Even an existence like Tai Chu who had achieved the Dao could not defend against it!

Shang Jun's figure rushed out from the fluttering pieces of flesh in the sky and headed straight for the Dao Tree of the Connate Qi at the Great Overarching Heaven of Tai Chu. In his murderous aura, it was even stronger than the murderous aura of the billions of gods and devils in the battlefield of Carefree Village, causing people to tremble in fear!

On the Dao Tree of Tai Chu, the Dao Flower revolved, and the qi of the First Heaven burst forth. Boundless Dao might welcomed Shang Jun!

At the same time, the corporeal body and primordial spirit of Tai Chu that had been sliced into countless pieces suddenly dissipated, transforming into an innate one qi that fused together to form a corporeal body and primordial spirit.

Chi—

The knife light was breathtaking as it split open the Dao flower and the Dao Tree. Shang Jun coldly slashed with force, and the stump and roots of the Dao Tree, along with the Grand Qi Celestial Heavens, were forcefully split apart!

"Very good."

The voice of Tai Chu came from behind him. "As an assassin that has achieved the path, you are very remarkable. However, you have immersed yourself in the path of slaughter, so you don't have an understanding of the five precelestial Dao. The Dao of Tai Chu among the five great universes is separated into one qi and consciousness. No matter if it's the corporeal body, primordial spirit, or even one qi of the Great Overarching Heaven, including the Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit, they are all precelestial one qi!"

Shang Jun turned around.

Tai Chu stood in front of him, and behind him, the Dao Tree of Tai Chu suddenly dispersed, transforming into the Connate Qi . Next, the Qi gathered again and transformed into the Dao Tree. The Dao Flower also hung on the tree.

The shattered Grand Overarching Qi Celestial Heavens also transformed into Connate Qi before reappearing again.

Behind Tai Chu's head, numerous celestial palaces formed the Great Celestial Heavens, and there were seventy-two throne halls protecting it. His gaze landed on Shang Jun, and he said indifferently, "After all, you aren't Celestial Venerable Mu. Celestial Venerable Mu was able to plot against me, injure my Great Dao, and severely injure me. As for you, you know nothing about the Dao of Tai Chu and the Connate Qi. You are just a machine that only knows how to kill. Shang Jun, you can't do anything to me."

Shang Jun lowered his palm and retracted his murderous aura. His gaze landed on Tai Chu.

Tai Chu's heart tightened. The place that Shang Jun was looking at was the Dao injury that Qin Mu had left for him during the fight for East Deity Qing Long's soul!

"I have indeed never killed a Tai Chu's Dao and Connate Qi."

Shang Jun said dryly, "I want to give it a try."

Tai Chu's pupils contracted, and he had no choice but to focus all of his attention on fighting back.

If Shang Jun made a move again, he would definitely target the Dao injury that Qin Mu had left for him!

'Luckily, this assassin can no longer hide! He's inferior to me in a head-on clash!' Tai Chu thought to himself.

Celestial Emperor Hao frowned and turned his head to look at Tai Chu. He then retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Brother Yun, looks like you do have some tricks up your sleeve. It's a pity that you walk the path of upper, middle and lower schemes. If you fight me, you will definitely die!"

Celestial Venerable Yun smiled and said, "Actually, I'm helping Brother Hao achieve his aim. Brother Hao, you have cultivated One Qi Great Overarching Heaven, and Tai Chu has also cultivated One Qi Great Overarching Heaven. I, on the other hand, have inherited the Grand Emperor's consciousness Great Overarching Heaven. When the consciousness Great Overarching Heaven and One Qi Great Overarching Heaven merge, it will be the complete Tai Chu Dao!"

His left hand formed a sword seal and gently caressed the Tai Chu Emperor Sword. The Tai Chu Origin Stone at the heart of his brows gave off a faint glow as he said with a smile, "By merging the Great Overarching Heaven and the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven together, you can achieve the Tai Chu Dao in one go! The power of Tai Chu Dao is only inferior to that of the Tai Yi Dao, and you are invincible in this universe! This is why the ancient god, Tai Chu, has always fought with me. As long as he can achieve the Tai Chu Dao, he can make you abdicate and continue to be your illegitimate son. Brother Hao, you also have one qi of the Great Overarching Heaven."

Emperor Hao Tian's eyes lit up. "You have moved my heart. Brother Yun, you have indeed moved my heart. Grand Imperial Sire is still a schemer. If he succeeds, it will indeed be troublesome for me."

His Grand Overarching Qi Celestial Heavens floated over, and he said with a smile, "After I achieve the Tai Chu Dao , I will definitely bury Brother Yun in glory!"

"That's easy." Celestial Venerable Yun smiled happily.

Boom!

Their Great Overarching Heavens collided!

When these two Great Overarching Heavens met, it was like a golden wind and jade dew, dry wood and blazing fire. The moment they came into contact, they began to merge!

At the same time, the celestial heavens behind Emperor Hao Tian's head swayed. Thirty-six celestial palaces and seventy-two throne halls stood tall. Not only that, there was also a Purple Firmament Palace that shone brightly!

This Purple Firmament Hall was dazzling and far surpassed the Numinous Sky Hall that others had refined. It was a projection that the fourth young master, Purple Firmament, had given to Emperor Hao Tian, and it contained extremely powerful power!

His magic power far surpassed Celestial Venerable Yun's!

Celestial Emperor Hao shook his sleeves, and precious halls from the Jade Capital of the ancestral court flew out to suppress Celestial Venerable Yun's Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, suppressing its power!

Victory was already in his grasp!

Emperor Hao Tian was the first to attack. His moves and divine arts were wide open, showing the power of using strength to achieve the Dao. He didn't need to counter Celestial Venerable Yun's moves. His magic power was too strong, and he could completely crush Celestial Venerable Yun with his power!

Celestial Venerable Yun, on the other hand, was much more careful. He used everything he had to execute the paths, skills, and divine arts. At the same time, the power of the Tai Chu Emperor Sword in his hand was pushed to the extreme!

His moves changed even more, but he was still forced to retreat under Emperor Hao Tian's attacks!

Not only that, but the Grand Overarching Consciousness Heaven was also suppressed by the Grand Overarching Qi Heaven, and it was ceaselessly being devoured. Emperor Hao Tian felt that his cultivation were ceaselessly improving, and he felt even more delighted.

He would have a complete victory in this battle!

Chi!

Celestial Venerable Yun stabbed forward with his sword, and Founding Emperor's 33 heavens of the sword path were no inferior to Founding Emperor Qin Ye in terms of exquisiteness. In addition to the power of the Tai Chu Emperor Sword, the power of this sword was multiplied!

Emperor Hao Tian laughed loudly. He shattered the thirty-three heavens of the sword path with one punch and clamped the tip of the Sword of Tai Chu with two fingers!

Celestial Venerable Yun tried his best to stab forward, but the Tai Chu Emperor Sword didn't move. Celestial Emperor Hao's two fingers didn't move either. He smiled and said, "Brother Yun, you should go on your way."

He held onto the Tai Chu Emperor Sword and pushed it forward. The sword hilt crashed into Celestial Venerable Yun's chest, breaking a few ribs and stabbing into his chest!

At that moment, Celestial Venerable Yun revealed a smile. The Tai Chu Origin Stone in the heart of his brows lit up countless times, and his violent consciousness rushed into the heart of Celestial Emperor Hao's brows!

"Little Doll."

Celestial Emperor Hao's head was slightly dizzy, but he soon recovered and chuckled. However, at the moment he was in a daze, Celestial Venerable Yun did everything he could to execute the divine art. It was the supreme consciousness realm!

The supreme consciousness realm exploded and froze everything, buying Celestial Venerable Yun some time!

"Red rope buckle!"

He allowed the Tai Chu Emperor Sword to pass through his chest, and his hands quickly formed seals, aiming for the heart of Celestial Emperor Hao's brows!

Emperor Hao Tian was caught off guard. Just as the red rope was about to reach the heart of his brows, his appearance and body started to change rapidly. From a man to a woman, from Emperor Hao to a second young master!

"Teacher specially created a divine art to deal with me!"

Second Young Master Wuji let out a shrill cry of anger. Before Celestial Venerable Yun's red rope divine art could reach the heart of her brows, it was broken by her terrifying power!

Blood and flesh flew out from Celestial Venerable Yun's palm, turning into white bones!

The second young master was stunned. "It's not a red knot?"

She was extremely fearful of the red knot and felt that it was a divine art that the master of Miluo Palace had specially created to kill her. When she saw Celestial Venerable Yun use it, she was furious and seized Celestial Emperor Hao's body without any explanation. She planned to kill Celestial Venerable Yun personally.

However, this red rope buckle was superficial and had no substance. Before it could touch her, it was broken by her aura.

The white bones transformed from Celestial Venerable Yun's hands had already reached her, and the divine art hidden under the red rope suddenly burst forth!

"Unchanging divine art!"

This divine art didn't have any power and passed through Second Young Master's body. Second Young Master was slightly stunned and flicked the tip of the Sword of Absolute Beginning.

Celestial Venerable Yun flew backward and was nailed to his Dao Tree.

The second young master touched his body and didn't find any abnormalities.

Celestial Venerable Yun grabbed the blade of the sword and pulled out the Tai Chu Emperor Sword forcefully. He then collapsed to the ground.

"I'm best at imitating and learning. The divine art of red knots and buckles is too profound for me to learn and I can only imitate its shape. However, I can learn most of the unchanging divine art."

Celestial Venerable Yun supported himself with the Tai Chu Emperor Sword and slowly got up. He looked up at the second young master and grinned. "Second young master, Celestial Venerable Mu has invited me to send you on your way!"

"You?" The second young master sneered.

"Me?"

Celestial Venerable Yun straightened his back and stretched his hand into his chest. He took out a few ribs that had been stabbed into his heart and threw them on the ground. He said indifferently, "With this Tai Chu Grand Overarching Heaven formed by the combination of the Qi Grand Overarching Heaven and consciousness Grand Overarching Heaven, as well as…"

With a wave of his sleeve, the ancestral court halls that were suppressing the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven flew out and were swept away by his sleeve!

"And the ultimate void that specializes in breaking the path of the Ruins of End!"

Yun Tian stomped his feet in respect, and the two Great Overarching Heavens flew into the Ultimate Void. The cold and lonely wind blew, colliding violently with the hot and silent wind around the second young master!
