Tales of Herding Gods

Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief, and excitement flickered in his eyes. Supreme Emperor’s strength had indeed exceeded his expectations, and he had never expected that the heavenly emperor of divine consciousness great overarching heaven would actually be so strong to such an extent.

This wasn’t in line with Supreme Emperor’s performance in the past.

If supreme emperor really had such abilities, why would he need to feign civility with ten venerables of Heavens?

Why would he need to find his corporeal body in every possible way?

Why would he need to cripple his corporeal body in battle after battle?

Why did he need to use his reincarnation, Ming fangyu, to use the corporeal body of the Heavenly Emperor to assassinate Heavenly Venerate Ling?

‘Supreme Emperor was most likely plotted against by primordial saint of Myluo Palace in incense burner hall. His divine consciousness was branded into the ultimate void, and only after he created his divine consciousness, great overarching heaven, did he realize that he had been plotted against. His divine consciousness might not be able to descend completely, and only a small portion of his divine consciousness could descend at a time. ‘thus, when we charged into great overarching heaven, we fell into his trap instead.’

Qin Mu’s gaze flickered. ‘He can take the opportunity to capture us all in one go! However, Heavenly Emperor absolute beginning’s corporeal body isn’t that easy to control.’

He had hidden some small tricks in heavenly emperor’s corporeal body. He had originally planned to plot against heavenly venerate Dawn or heavenly venerate vast expanse. As long as the two of them seized this corporeal body, the ‘small tricks’he had left behind would be activated!

He had never expected that Supreme Emperor of divine consciousness great overarching heaven would be so strong that he would actually be the first to seize the corporeal body of the Heavenly Emperor from Qin Mu!

The small tricks Qin Mu had hidden in the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor were the primordial chaos vital qi rune arrays, which were imprinted with primordial chaos runes. One of them was to make it easier for him to control the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor, and the other was to wait for the others to plot against him and seize the corporeal body of the Heavenly Emperor!

‘with Supreme Emperor being so strong, it’s indeed difficult to defeat him, but with him snatching away the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor, there’s a possibility of defeating him!’

Just as Qin Mu thought of this, he suddenly heard the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor speak with a world-shaking voice. “What a powerful corporeal body! Absolute beginning, I envy you, I’ve always been envious of you!”

Supreme Emperor controlled this body and looked at heavenly venerate Xiao, he praised, “When you were born, you didn’t need to learn anything, you didn’t need to ask anything. You are the number one ancient god in the world and have boundless strength. You control the innately one qi, the number one corporeal body in the world. “But I’m different. I need to absorb knowledge from other creators and comprehend all kinds of divine consciousness divine arts. I need to cultivate step by step and face the challenges of other creators. Only by climbing step by step can I achieve anything.”

He clenched his fist and felt the peerless power coming from the body.

Even heavenly venerate found it difficult to fully unleash the power in the body. If Qin Mu had been able to fully unleash the power of the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor, he would have long beaten heavenly venerate Haotian to death.

To unleash the power of the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor, one needed to have profound comprehension of the path of absolute beginning as well as incomparably vigorous cultivation.

The imperial capital was already satisfied with these two points!

The dao of divine sense was born from the absolute beginning Dao, and he had spent countless years studying the heavenly emperor’s physical body and the absolute beginning runes as the Heaven Consort and the heavenly venerate Ming fangyu.

He had a huge advantage in his understanding of the absolute beginning Dao.

As for Mana, his realm was above the founding emperor realm, and when he cultivated the dao fruit, his mana was absolutely unmatched!

He could completely unleash the power of the Heavenly Emperor’s physical body to the extreme, even more so than Celestial Master Xiao himself!

“Obtaining this body is not my goal.”

The Supreme Emperor looked around, he smiled. “My goal is also the absolute beginning Dao. If I want to truly cultivate the absolute beginning dao, apart from absorbing the divine senses of all the creators, I also need to control the absolute beginning physical body and even devour it! In the past, the ten heavenly venerates were mutually restricted. It was very difficult for me to control the absolute beginning physical body alone, let alone devour it. Because absolute beginning had already reincarnated, I didn’t know who he was. Therefore, I needed absolute beginning to deliver the goods to my door. What could be easier than absolute beginning delivering the goods to my door and making it easier for me to devour it?”

He laughed out loud. “Other than devouring absolute beginning, I also need to deal with a group of opponents who pose a threat to me. You all voluntarily delivered the goods to my door, but it also saves me from having to look for you all one by one.”

With his back against the Dao tree, his body moved, and the great firmament and the dao tree moved with him. In the next moment, he arrived in front of Celestial Master Xiao and punched out with a simple punch!

Celestial Master Xiao let out a long cry, and the Heavenly Palace behind him burst out with intense light. In an instant, he raised his cultivation strength to the highest level!

Not only that, his understanding of the absolute beginning Dao also made a breakthrough at this time, and he comprehended the 28th Heavenly Dao realm of the absolute beginning Dao in one go!

He was not like Divine Emperor Langxuan who had comprehended the profound realm of the absolute beginning Dao with the help of other people’s dao fruits, nor was he like heavenly venerate Haotian who had cultivated too many things.

His 28th heavenly realm was purely the 28th heavenly realm of the absolute beginning Dao!

One had to know that if he could comprehend the 36th heavenly realm of the absolute beginning Dao, he would not need to use the absolute beginning original stone, the absolute beginning divine stone, or devour the divine consciousness of the creator. He would be able to attain the dao just by relying on the Dao realm.

It was precisely because it was too difficult to attain the Dao of the absolute beginning Dao that he had the idea of devouring the creator to devour the Supreme Emperor.

But even so, the 28th Heaven Dao realm of the absolute beginning Dao realm was an unimaginable achievement!

If it was not for the pressure from the supreme emperor, he would not have been able to raise his dao realm attainments by another heaven in such a short period of time.

Boom!

Xiao Tianzun was covered in blood. His bones and tendons were broken, and he tumbled backward.

No matter how powerful his great divine power of the first step into the Dao was, it could not withstand the power of the Supreme Emperor’s fist!

The Supreme Emperor took another step forward and pressed down with his big hand. Xiao Tianzun was forcefully pulled back and fell into his palm.

The Supreme Emperor grabbed Xiao Tianzun’s head and lifted him up.

On the other side, a sword light rushed over and stabbed into the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor’s body. It was the founding emperor who had saved Xiao Tianzun.

They were enemies who would not rest until one of them died. They all wanted to get rid of the other party, but Emperor Tai was too strong. They had to join forces to deal with him. If Xiao Tianzun was killed or devoured by Emperor Tai, then they would not be able to leave alive!

Emperor Tai raised his other hand and used his two fingers to shield his eyes. The sword light of the founding emperor pierced his two fingers with two clanging sounds. Immediately, his two fingers were split open and two drops of blood flowed out.

“Not bad.”

Emperor Tai praised, “But you’re still far from it. Qin Ye, you’re half a step behind me. The difference is like heaven and earth! Now that I’ve obtained the absolute beginning physical body, you’re far from me!”

He flipped his palm and slapped out. The founding emperor raised his sword, and the great overarching heaven of Sword Dao expanded outward. It collided violently with his palm, and the Sword Dao whistled. However, the great overarching heaven of Sword Dao and the Heavenly Emperor’s palm collided, and it collapsed upon contact!

Right at this moment, heavenly venerate Haotian let out a long, furious roar. He slashed the heavenly emperor’s wrist with the heavenly wheel of ten thousand paths. The power of this strike contained the divine abilities of the Thirty Heavenly Dao realm, and it exploded out for the second time, striking the tendons and collaterals on the heavenly emperor’s wrist, after 30 consecutive attacks, the palm was finally released.

After heavenly venerate Xiao escaped, he immediately activated the absolute beginning Abhijna. He repeated the attacks on the heavenly emperor’s forehead, trying to destroy the divine consciousness of the heavenly emperor who had invaded his body!

However, after so many of his abhijnas fell, the heavenly emperor only tilted his head back slightly. Then, two extremely thick absolute beginning dao lights shot out from his eyes and sent him flying.

The Supreme Emperor raised his other hand and slapped heavenly venerate Haotian’s body. Heavenly venerate Haotian’s body exploded, and his flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Broken Bones shot everywhere!

Goddess Taisu flew over and used her companion true treasure to transform into a tattered Grand Bell. She attacked the Supreme Emperor, and at the same time, she used Taisu’s Dao to save heavenly venerate Haotian and help him recover.

Clang!

The Supreme Emperor punched the Grand Bell, and it shattered into pieces!

He grabbed goddess Taisu, and her body swayed as she transformed into the appearance of Celestial Master Gong. Supreme Emperor was infatuated with her, but he soon grinned and smashed her into pieces!

Even though goddess Taisu was shattered, she transformed into the Qi of Taisu and condensed her body once more. However, her aura was also greatly damaged, and she was astonished and furious. ‘Dao practitioners are so strong? I don’t believe it!’

On the other side, Qin Mu met up with heavenly venerate ling. Just as heavenly venerate ling was about to rush forward, Qin Mu raised his hand to stop her and shook his head. “Let them fight!”

Heavenly venerate ling was astonished, and qin mu said solemnly, “Ling, I’m afraid we’ll have to separate.”

Heavenly venerate ling was slightly stunned.

Qin Mu’s divine consciousness rippled, and he imparted the knowledge he had gained from comprehending the dao patterns of Yiluo Palace to her. He then took out two heaven and earth mirrors that had the dao patterns branded on them and stuffed them into her hands.

Heavenly venerate Ling’s heart sank. “Mu, what are you doing?”

“Supreme Emperor must die, but this is the end of High Emperor’s era. It was forty thousand years ago before founding emperor’s era was established.”

Qin Mu’s gaze flickered, “I need you to execute the divine art of not easy and send us back to our era, which is forty thousand years later,”he said solemnly. “At that time, there was founding emperor’s great overarching heaven of sword path and founding emperor’s Dao Tree and Dao Flower in the ultimate void. Only then would I have the strength to fight Supreme Emperor. “The Trump Card I left in the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor might not be able to deal with Supreme Emperor.”

Ling tianzun’s heart trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not someone who will be forty thousand years later, so I can’t return to forty thousand years later. I’ll send you all away and can only stay here

“Forty thousand years later, we will meet again. At that time, you will have comprehended the dao patterns of Mino Palace for forty thousand years, so you should be able to comprehend the profoundness within.”

Qin Mu nodded and smiled. “If we still can’t get rid of supreme emperor at that time, we will need you to kill your way to great overarching heaven and decide the universe in one go!”

His gaze was fervent. “Ling, can you endure forty thousand years of loneliness? I need you to endure forty thousand years of loneliness in order to save heavenly venerate Yun’s primordial spirit!”

Heavenly venerate Ling’s gaze gradually dimmed. After a moment, her gaze gradually lit up again and she revealed a smile, she seemed to be a little proud and aloof. “Forty thousand years of time? I’ve researched the divine arts of great difficulty alone for a million years and have already survived. What’s the point of forty thousand years? Mu, forty thousand years later, we will meet again in great overarching heaven!”

“I’ll send you away from great overarching heaven!”

Qin Mu gathered his vital qi and a golden ship flew out from the center of his brows. Heavenly venerate Ling leaped onto the golden ship and it rushed out of divine consciousness great overarching heaven, carrying the woman out of the ultimate void.

“Mu, forty thousand years later, I’ll return!”

The woman stood at the bow of the ship and waved at him from afar. “Live! Live!”

Qin Mu sent him out of layers of void, and soon, the golden ship brought heavenly venerate Ling to the ruins of High Emperor era. Heavenly Venerate Ling got off the golden ship, and the ship whizzed away, disappearing into the depths of the void.

Heavenly Venerate Ling raised her head to look up and saw that in the ultimate void, divine consciousness great overarching heaven was faintly discernible.

She took out a peach wood hairpin and executed the difficult divine art against divine consciousness great overarching heaven. Executing the divine art was incomparably arduous.

She was casting a spell against divine consciousness great overarching heaven, and all the people in great overarching heaven were heavenly venerate level existences. There were even three dao practitioners, terrifying existences like Supreme Emperor, and even the corporeal body of the Heavenly Emperor!

Heavenly venerate Ling worked hard to execute the spell and executed the divine art with all her might, sending Qin Mu and the rest back to the era they came from.

Her magic power rose and she felt the tremors coming from great overarching heaven. It was a backlash against her.

Soon, her magic power was completely squandered and she forcefully completed this divine art.

Finally, this divine art of not easy surrounded the entire divine consciousness of great overarching heaven. Heavenly venerate ling let out a shout and the divine art burst forth, causing her divine consciousness to vanish with a whistle!

Heavenly Venerate Ling’s body went limp and she knelt down. Her aura was unbearable.

After a long while, she stood up shakily, and her expression was one of sadness and joy.

“I’m alone again...”

Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes as she muttered, “I’m still alone... But I’ll keep walking, Wait for me!”

She looked at the two heaven and earth mirrors that Qin Mu had given her, and she put them away. She turned around and walked further and further away.

Thousands of years later, founding Emperor Celestial Heavens was established, and founding emperor ascended the throne to become emperor. On this day, founding emperor was reading memorials when a woman dressed in green clothes with a hairpin walked out from the darkness.

Founding Emperor raised his head and saw the woman in green clothes. His body couldn’t help trembling.

The woman in green clothes revealed a smile. “Heavenly Venerate Qin, long time no see. I’ve been waiting for you, it’s been very hard.”
