Tales of Herding Gods

Lan Yutian rushed into the Empress’s domain with a single step. It was a terrifying domain formed by the Sinkhole Dao. Everything in the surroundings fell towards the Empress’s domain. Continents, mountains.., even the ancestral court’s Divine Mountain continued to disintegrate as it fell!

The terrifying thing was that the sun, moon, and stars in the sky were also falling. As the stars and all things fell, it could be vaguely seen that the Empress’s sinkhole domain was divided into thirty-six stages. The first stage to the eighth stage was just a simple fall, the ninth to sixteenth stages were shattered into pieces. The 17th to 24th stages were heat stillness. Even the Great Dao would be disintegrated into heat stillness.

At the 25th stage, even light could not escape. All matter was transformed into chaotic Qi within.

When they reached the Empress’s lotus throne, everything was reduced to chaos. It shot out from the Lotus pod on the lotus throne and connected to the empress, becoming the Empress’s cultivation base!

This was the complete path of returning to ruins.

Ever since the first universe epoch, there had only been one person who had cultivated returning to ruins to become a dao, and that was second young master Wuji. And now, there was one more person, and that was the Empress!

After she devoured Xie Wu Qi, the last bit of familial affection had disappeared and she had finally become a true goddess of returning to ruins.

Long before the Empress became a dao, she had known the restrictions that familial affection had on her.

At that time, she had suddenly felt that the mother and son affection between her and Xie Wuqi was so strong that she couldn’t suppress it. She couldn’t wait to see her son, which was why she had come to eternal peace to see Xie Wuqi.

This mother and son affection seemed very normal, but to the goddess of sinkhole, it was an emotion that she absolutely didn’t need.

Ever since then, she had realized that if she wanted to take another step forward, she had to wipe out this emotion.

You Tianzun invited Xie Wuqi, intending to make her and Xie Wuqi retire together and enjoy the happiness of family. However, he made the empress make up her mind.

With this step, the empress would have no more weaknesses!

You Tianzun, Xuanwu Emperor, and Lang Bao were the closest to her. When the Empress’Dao Heart was perfected, the four of them fell into her sinkhole domain, falling from the outermost layer into the inner layer.

Even though they were the most powerful people in the world, they could not resist the power of the sinkhole. In the blink of an eye, they had fallen into the 16th level of the sinkhole domain!

Once they reached the 17th level, even dao practitioners could not fly out. They could only fall irreversibly toward the empress. Their dao techniques disintegrated and turned into chaos, becoming nourishment for the sinkhole.

The four of them used all their abilities. The two black tortoise emperors were both injured. Among them, the martial emperor was first injured by the combined attacks of the heavenly court’s Emperor throne experts. After that, he was severely injured by the empress. His injuries were more serious and he became the weakest link, he was the first to fall into the 17th level.

The black tortoise emperor stretched out his hand and pulled his wife with all his might. He gathered all his yuan qi and mobilized his ancestral land in an attempt to fly out.

The Xuanwu Great Swamp flew over and landed at his feet. However, even this most famous holy land had collapsed in the sinkhole at this moment!

This kind of collapse was the collapse of the Great Dao.

“Let Go!”

The Martial Emperor struggled with all his might, but the Xuan Emperor refused to let go. The Martial Emperor was furious and said sternly, “I’ve had enough of you. Let Go and you’ll be free of Me! I’ll beat you every day. Without Me, you’ll Be Free!”

The Xuan Emperor refused to let go. He smiled and said, “You and I were born together. Once you’re dead, there’ll be no more Xuan Wu.”

The Martial Emperor was furious. He spread his burning wings and slashed at the wrist that the Xuan Emperor had grabbed. The Xuan Emperor reached out with her other hand to block the attack. Her palm was instantly cut off.

The martial emperor cried out, “I used to beat you...”

Boom!

The great black turtle swamp suddenly split apart and fell into the seventeenth sinkhole domain. The Holy Land that gave birth to the Xuan Wu two emperors was blown by the heat and silence wind. It immediately burned and shattered into the tiniest particles.

The Xuanwu Emperor could not stand still. He followed the Great Swamp and chased after the 17th sinkhole. He used his one arm to hug the martial emperor.

The husband and wife burned fiercely in the heat-stilled air and fell deeper into the domain. The Martial Emperor leaned on his chest. The Xuanwu Emperor enjoyed this rare warmth and said in a low voice, “I’ve done a divination. This trip is a good one. It was a thrilling but not dangerous one.”

“When has your divination ever been accurate?”

The martial emperor smiled and said, “Fortunately, you Ming went to South Heaven. He’s safe now...”

At this moment, heavenly venerate you’s unparalleled primordial spirit stretched out a large hand from behind and grabbed the two of them. She pulled them out with all her strength and said loudly, “Virtuous couple, come with me to mobilize your dharmic powers to resist the Empress’Domain!”

Lang Zhen flew over. The thirty-fifth firmament divine sense domain erupted and tried to cut off the sinkhole domain. However, her domain collided with the Empress’domain slightly and collapsed on its own.

Youtian supremacy’s Youdu domain also collapsed at a single touch. His primordial spirit’s palm reached into the 17th sinkhole domain. His primordial spirit could not stabilize itself and fell deeper into the domain.

None of the four top-tier celestial masters could contend against the Empress’domain!

The Empress’sinkhole domain was complete, and she was practically invincible!

Langzao also fell into the 17th sinkhole. Thinking back to her past life, when her mystic technique was suddenly broken, all sorts of emotions welled up in her heart. For a moment, her mind was in chaos.

Her clothes fluttered as her figure fell into the sinkhole. She took out a painting that depicted her other self.

The painting burned in the heat and turned into nothingness.

“I guess I won’t be able to become the person in the painting...”her heart was gloomy.

Suddenly, a golden ship whizzed over. There was a huge obelisk on the golden ship. With a rumble, it flew past her and crashed into the empress.

The Empress met the golden ship with both hands and was knocked back repeatedly by the golden ship. The obelisk on the golden ship suddenly shone brightly. The primordial chaos runes contained in the obelisk refined by the eldest young master burst out, it suppressed the Empress’Magic Power and Great Dao for a moment.

You Tianzun and Xuanwu Tianzun immediately fled and took the opportunity to break out of the Empress’sinkhole territory. Lang Bao also took the opportunity to escape and turned back to look.

He saw the empress charge onto the golden ship, lift the obelisk, and throw it into the Great Abyss. She was extremely fierce.

“My painting...”

Lang Bao steadied his mind and activated his mystic technique. He turned around and charged toward heavenly emperor Hao together with Celestial Master You and the others, abandoning his fleeting feelings.

At the same time, Lan Yutian rushed over and landed on the golden ship with a thump. The World Tree roared and expanded, and layers of ancestral court dao domains and sinkhole domains intersected. They collided with each other, suppressed each other, and annihilated each other!

The empress and Lan Yutian landed on the deck of the golden ship. The two did not stop, and in an instant, thousands of different divine abilities collided.

“Celestial Emperor!”

The Empress was hit by hundreds of divine abilities in a row. She staggered and hurriedly stabilized herself. She raised her head in surprise and looked at the youth.

At this moment, Lan Yutian had indeed returned to celestial emperor’s demeanor and demeanor. He was calm, intelligent, and elegant. He was unparalleled in his generation and was no longer as young and tender as LAN Yutian.

“You’ve become Heavenly Lord Royal again.”

The Empress Empress was like a sinkhole. Any divine ability that landed on her body would quickly turn into chaotic qi and become a part of her cultivation, she smiled in relief. “Unfortunately, you haven’t reached the Dao yet. Any attacks from you will only become nutrients for me. “Heavenly Lord Royal, I’m no longer the empress from back then. I admire you, but I won’t hold back and not kill you. “In my sinkhole domain, you will become weaker and weaker, and you will eventually die here.”

The collision between their domains became more intense. In a short period of time, Lan Yutian’s domain was suppressed by the empress, and its circulation became sluggish.

However, he did not become weaker and weaker as the Empress had expected. Instead, his aura became stronger and stronger!

The Empress was right. Attaining Dao in the sinkhole would indeed restrain the Dao realm system, but Lan Yutian’s Ancestral Dao realm system was fundamentally different from the traditional dao realm system.

The Traditional Dao realm system created by founding Emperor Qin Ye was to attain Dao outside and entrust it to the void. Although Lan Yutian also cultivated dao realm, his dao realm was to attain dao inside.

If both cultivated the same cultivation technique and had different ways of attaining dao, there would not be much difference in strength between the two.

However, attaining dao outside would be destroyed along with the destruction of the ultimate void, while attaining dao inside would not.

If one encountered someone like the Empress who had attained dao in the sinkhole, dao-achieving on the outside would be greatly suppressed. If the Empress’s sinkhole great abyss was used, there would be no ultimate void in the sinkhole, and the great overarching heaven would not be able to establish itself, one’s cultivation strength would be greatly reduced.

Similarly, if a sinkhole dao-achieving person like the Empress was pulled into the ultimate void, their cultivation strength would also be greatly reduced.

However, there wouldn’t be such a hidden danger when he attained dao in the ultimate void. The dao realm of a person was hidden in his divine treasure. After attaining Dao, the ancestral court in the divine treasure would turn into great overarching heaven, and the World Tree would be the dao tree. Even if he fell into the ultimate void, he wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.

Even though Lan Yutian had yet to attain Dao in the ultimate void, his dao realm was extremely profound. He had thirty-five Heavenly Dao realms, and his attainments in Dao realm were even deeper than Qin Mu’s.

His techniques were the greatest successes and pioneers from ancient times to present. The natural sacred grounds of the ancestral court had become the places for him to comprehend dao. Qin Mu had shouldered the heavy pressure of the heavenly court alone, giving him the space and time needed for him to fully mature, it allowed his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

In each of the thirty-five levels of the Ancestral Court Dao Domain, there were five supreme ore veins suppressing it. The Great Dao was dense, and each of the natural sacred grounds such as the Four Great Heaven Gates, Jade Lake Jade platform, nine prison platform, Heaven Sea, God slaying platform, and Dao rhythm burst forth, different Dao charms formed different phenomena!

He used this to suppress the Empress’s sinkhole domain. The World Tree was equivalent to his dao tree. Although he was one dao realm lower than the empress, he was still equivalent to half a dao practitioner, and had the strength to contend with the empress.

However, he was still far inferior to the empress.

He had the advantage in only the subtlety of his divine abilities. However, his divine abilities could not cause much damage to the empress.

He might die in this battle.

Suddenly, another person appeared on the golden boat.

Xu Shenghua passed through the layers of domains and landed behind him. He still had a calm expression.

His World Tree appeared and his dao realm was unleashed. Together with Lan Yutian, they fought against the Empress’sinkhole domain.

“Lan Yutian, you lost your calm after you became Heavenly Lord Royal.”

Xu Shenghua said indifferently, “You need me, an extremely calm person.”

Lan Yutian nodded and said in a deep voice, “Brother Xu, how do you think we should deal with the Empress?”

“Two Divine Arts, one method.”

Xu Shenghua raised a finger. “The first method is the red knot seal that cult master Qin once used to suppress the Great Dao of the returning ruins.”

He raised another finger. “The second method is cult Master Qin’s Perfect Great Dao of reincarnation. It will cause the empress to fall into reincarnation and mess up her mind.”

Lan Yutian stared at the empress, not daring to relax. “What about one method?”

“Heavenly venerate Yun’s method.”

Xu Shenghua took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, he said in a deep voice, “Send the empress to the ultimate void and kill her there! But you can’t do it alone, so you and I will work together. Two divine powers and one method, use them together and kill the Empress!”
