Tales of Herding Gods

This Seven Souls Grass was the sacred object of the masters of creation. At that moment, it was almost full, and its entire body was giving off a milky white glow. It couldn’t eat anymore.

This Seven Soul Grass flew out from the heart of Celestial Venerable Hao’s brows and tunneled into the ground, vanishing without a trace.

“Little grass, you’re really useless!”

The Earth Count that Qin Mu had transformed into walked over with huge steps, and the devil qi around his body was boundless. With a raise of his hand, the Great Dao of Youdu transformed into the Styx River, and the Styx River River became a long whip that lashed onto Celestial Venerable Hao’s body. Celestial Venerable Hao spun like a top, spinning around in the Youdu formation and colliding with the devil lights one after another!

In the Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, Celestial Venerable Hao’s soul was emitting black smoke. This whip was a whip used to whip the primordial spirit. This devil light was also a devil light used to refine the primordial spirit. Qin Mu was clearly using Youdu’s geographical advantage to refine his primordial spirit and soul!

Qin Mu swung his whip continuously, and Celestial Venerable Hao couldn’t avoid it at all. His primordial spirit was getting more injured. His primordial spirit could still withstand the Grand Emperor’s Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven, but with Qin Mu’s attacks on his primordial spirit, he could feel his primordial spirit rapidly weakening!

Qin Mu’s goal wasn’t to destroy his primordial spirit by himself. Qin Mu also couldn’t destroy his primordial spirit. Even if ten more stalks of Seven Souls Grass came, they wouldn’t be able to absorb all the energy in his primordial spirit.

Qin Mu’s goal was to weaken his primordial spirit and let the Grand Emperor’s Grand Overarching Consciousness Heaven destroy him!

Celestial Venerable Hao felt a deep sense of fear. Qin Mu’s wisdom was too terrifying and deep. He was borrowing all the power he could borrow just to kill him!

The greater danger was that his cultivation was hard to suppress.

If this continued, the chaotic energy in his body would definitely blow him to pieces and scatter his soul!

Whoosh—

He dispersed another celestial palace, then another. In just a short while, Celestial Venerable Hao dispersed ten celestial palaces, no longer reluctant to part with his cultivation.

After dispersing these celestial palaces, the feeling of exploding at any moment was slightly better.

His heart was bleeding. After dispersing these celestial palaces, he didn’t know when he would be able to cultivate back. However, it was also because dispersing these celestial palaces gave him some breathing room.

With a loud rumble, he shattered a huge black pillar and escaped from the Youdu formation.

Behind him, Qin Mu raised a fist the size of a mountain and punched the back of his heart, knocking him to the ground and sending him tumbling into the distance.

Pa—

The Nether River whip swept over, and Celestial Venerable Hao was struck in midair. Blood flowed out of his seven orifices, and he spun frantically. The blood from his seven orifices swirled around his body.

Qin Mu whipped his whip again, and at the same time, his huge head stretched forward. The vertical eye of Earth Count at the heart of his brows opened up, and countless gorgeous butterfly wing-shaped Dao markings flowed out from the vertical eye.

Buzz—

A devil light brush that was as thick as a pillar shot out and pierced through Celestial Venerable Hao’s body, nailing him to the ground. It pushed his body forward several hundred miles and crashed through mountains.

Those mountains were directly sliced into two by the devil light!

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Hao’s figure vanished again. He mobilized the qi of the First Heaven to escape from the Great Void and Youdu to the Land of the Great Void.

“Escape? Can you escape from my grasp?”

The Earth Count that Qin Mu had transformed into sprinted forward, and in a few steps, he crashed into the land of the Great Void from the Great Void. His body transformed from Earth Count to Heaven Duke, and he raised his hands up high. The stars in the sky suddenly appeared!

The stars grew larger, as if they were getting closer to the Land of the Great Void. The stars were as big as pipes, umbrellas, seals, crystals, fans, spoons, lids, and so on. They formed all kinds of Heavenly Dao treasures and smashed towards Celestial Venerable Hao who had yet to stop!

Forty-nine Heavenly Dao treasures bombarded down continuously, and the ground trembled. Mushroom clouds rose one after another, and every mushroom cloud was hundreds of miles away. It was an extremely spectacular sight.

In the main camp of the celestial heavens, the gods of the Heavenly Eye Race looked around, and their expressions couldn’t help changing drastically. They hurriedly reported to the city lords of the various cities, shouting, “Bad news! Celestial Venerable Mu is chasing after Celestial Venerable Hao! From Youdu to the Great Void, he has fought for thousands of miles!”

The people guarding the god cities were all top-notch experts of the celestial heavens. There were heavenly teachers, heavenly kings, and also the four deities. When they heard this, they all laughed. “You’re talking nonsense again! Celestial Venerable Mu, you’re just a brat. However, how could you have the ability to kill Celestial Venerable Hao just because of your identity? Celestial Venerable Hao even killed him with a sneeze!”

“It’s true!”

The generals of the celestial heavens’ camp climbed up the city tower or floated high up in the sky to look. When they saw Qin Mu chasing after Celestial Venerable Hao, they couldn’t help looking at each other in dismay. Everyone’s faces were ashen.

That scene was indeed Qin Mu chasing after Celestial Venerable Hao!

The difference in cultivation between Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Hao was more than a thousand miles. Yet now, Celestial Venerable Hao was unable to resist Qin Mu’s pursuit and could only run for his life. He couldn’t even escape!

The generals of the celestial heavens were dumbstruck and didn’t know what to do.

Seeing Celestial Venerable Hao getting beaten up by Qin Mu would result in death. Because Celestial Venerable Hao had lost face in front of the celestial heavens’ main camp, he would probably feel even worse than being killed. One could imagine the consequences of knowing this secret!

“Lock down the news!”

The generals of the celestial heavens had the same idea. They had to seal off the news and prevent it from spreading throughout the entire army. Celestial Venerable Hao was the face of the celestial heavens. It was a small matter if Celestial Venerable Hao was beaten up, but the morale of the celestial heavens was huge!

If the various armies developed a fear of Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable Hao would kill them to save face. This would be a huge blow to the celestial heavens!

‘I have to report this to Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu!’

The second thought had just appeared in their minds when they immediately went to inform Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu. However, these two Celestial Venerables were severely injured and were currently recuperating in seclusion.

The generals waited for a moment, but they didn’t receive Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu’s summons. They were like ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

“We should save Celestial Venerable Hao first!”

Suddenly, West Heaven White Deity cried out, “If we let Celestial Venerable Mu do what he wants, Celestial Venerable Hao will be doomed!”

Green Deity of the Eastern Sky glanced at him and said, “Good idea! Dao Friend White Deity, quickly go and save Celestial Venerable Hao. We’ll go later!”

White Deity hesitated. “This fellow is of Celestial Venerable Xiao’s bloodline, so why is he so keen to let me save Celestial Venerable Hao? That’s right, I’ll save Celestial Venerable Hao. I know Celestial Venerable Hao was beaten up so badly by Celestial Venerable Mu, so I’m doomed!”

He didn’t say anything else. The other heavenly kings and heavenly teachers also looked at each other and muttered to themselves.

After a moment, the second heavenly master, Meng Yungui, coughed and said, “We will each send a great general to chase after Celestial Venerable Mu. As for the rest, we know nothing.”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded silently.

Right at this moment, the Heavenly Eye General hurriedly reported, “Bad news! Celestial Venerable Hao was hacked into the city by Celestial Venerable Mu!”

The heavenly teachers, heavenly kings, and the colored deities cried out, their hearts turning cold. Celestial Venerable Hao’s reputation was going to be completely ruined!

“What should I do…” Meng Yungui muttered, feeling deeply helpless.

TL Note: I goofed up the chapter number this should’ve been 1265 but I translated up to 1400 so I can’t be bothered to fix it. You’re just going to have to bear with it?
