Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1139 - Splitting Open Celestial Heavens
Celestial Venerable Qiang and Celestial Venerable Yan were rather anxious. Even if Heaven Duke and Earth Count were bound by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the power they could unleash was still extraordinary. If they didn't mobilize Divine Artifact Celestial Venerable Yu, they definitely wouldn't be able to contend at all!
At the same time that Founding Emperor made his move, Divine King Lang Wo also made her move. Vast divine consciousness flooded over and instantly enveloped half of Jade Capital, causing it to enter the space-time created by her divine consciousness.
The Left and Right Feathered Forest Guards, Divine Might, and Divine Strategy had just broken through the space created by Founding Emperor's sword when they landed in the boundless space and time visualized by her divine consciousness. They were unable to come aid in battle.
The combat power of these six armies[1] was no small matter. When they went out to battle, they could even suppress Emperor's Throne practitioners. However, when faced with an existence on the level of a Celestial Venerable, they weren't enough.
While Divine King Lang Wo was trapping the six imperial guards, Celestial Venerable Xiao brazenly attacked her as the void beast leaked backwards into the void.
Divine King Lang Wo's voice came from the depths of the void. “Xiao, as the disciple of Celestial Venerable Yun, you know too much about Grand Emperor which makes me suspect your identity. Perhaps you are a family with Celestial Venerable Hao, and you are his father.”
Celestial Venerable Xiao's gaze flickered, and he also rushed into the void.
Even though Celestial Venerable Hao's Dao heart was stable, he was stunned by her words. He was at a loss when facing Founding Emperor's sword and hurriedly avoided it.
This was something that had never happened in hundreds of thousands of years.
Ever since Celestial Venerable Yun died, he had never avoided anyone's moves. He had always been the god with the most dense cultivation and the most exquisite divine arts in this world.
However, with his mind in rambles, he had no choice but to avoid Founding Emperor's sword to prevent himself from getting injured.
Celestial Venerable Qiang and Celestial Venerable Yan were also shocked. They looked at one another and were extremely wary of each other.
“Hao, you people have already lost the courage to be pioneers!”
Founding Emperor was full of heroism as his sword pushed Celestial Venerable Hao back. His sword moves were endless like a torrent of sword qi and lightning crisscrossed in Celestial Heavens. The vast Celestial Heavens was like a colourful silk under his sword, and under the cutting of an artisan's shears, it started to split.
Celestial Venerable Hao cannot endure anymore and stopped retreating. He drew a circle with his right hand, and a divine weapon suddenly appeared in his hand.
In Celestial Heavens, everyone knew that Celestial Venerable Hao was proficient in divine arts and always had a distaste for divine weapons, let alone use one.
However, no one knew how much he had hidden.
Back then, there were three people who had ransacked ancient god Celestial Emperor's Clear Sun Hall. One was Celestial Venerable Yun, one was Qin Mu, and the other was him. The three of them split the treasures that the ancient god Celestial Emperor had obtained in Ancestral Court.
Of all the treasures Celestial Venerable Hao had stolen, he gave jade pillar over to Dao Ancestor. It was used to create the jade pillar of Guardian Pavilion. A Tai Sui[2] was also placed in Divine Creation Artifact[3] to aid in the construction of Divine Artifact Celestial Venerable Yu but also the divine weapons of the ancient gods Four Emperors.
However, he kept all the other treasures and secretly forged them into his own divine weapons.
At this moment, his right hand drew a circle, and divine weapon appeared that resembled a circular plate. However, the plate immediately split apart, and with a clanging sound, the 36 Great Dao of Yuandu appeared, constructing the Primordial Realm in its most oldest form.
They were the 36 divine weapons: Dragon, Phoenixes, Mountains, Lake, River, Hill, Creek, Cauldron, Pagoda, and other divine weapons of all shapes and sizes!
The power of each of these divine weapons was incomparably tyrannical, and they radiated boundless Dao might. Ant one of them could suppress an entire world!
A divine weapon forged from the most powerful treasure of Ancestral Court was bound to be extraordinary!
The plate splits out again, and with a few clangs, the 49 Heavenly Dao appeared. They were also in the form of the 49 Heavenly Dao treasures: Outline[4], Umbrella, Abyss[5], Pit, Rope, Bamboo, Palace, Gate, Well, and so on!
The plate splits once more and formed the Great Dao of Youdu outside the Heavenly Dao. The 64 divine weapons of Youdu Great Dao were: Talisman, Ship, Mask, Whip, Horn, Eye, Kui[6], Mountain Pass, Lantern, Fire, and so on. They were all different.
The plate split yet again, forming the various stars and constellations in the sky. It was even more complicated and its power was even stronger!
This was his Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel!
As Founding Emperor's sword stabbed and Celestial Venerable Hao blocked with his hand, terrifying quakes instantly attacked the entire Celestial Heavens!
At this time, Qin Mu and the rest had already rushed out of Southern Heavenly Gate and were far away from Celestial Heavens. Suddenly, a terrifying vibration came from Heaven and Earth and reached their ears. But the sound came from their Dao hearts, as though something collapsed within!
Qin Mu suddenly turned his head back and instantly saw an breath-taking sight.
In Celestial Heavens, incomparably brilliant rays of light rose from the Numinous Sky Treasured Hall like a multicoloured sunrise.
At the same time, gorgeous and vibrant rays of light rose from below Celestial Heavens.
The range of the multicoloured lights grew longer and longer. With Numinous Sky Treasured Hall as the center, it spread towards Eastern Heavenly Gate and Western Heavenly Gate!
Not only that, at the place where the light have reached, Celestial Heavens gave off a world-shaking rumble. The divine palaces and halls have split into two, one after another.
Qin Mu's scalp turned numb when he saw this. This fissure would soon spread to Western Heavenly Gate and Eastern Heaven Gate. At that time, Celestial Heavens would be completely split into two!
The speed at which the multicoloured lights spread was extremely fast, and it was becoming quicker and quicker.
Finally, Western Heavenly Gate shook, and with a loud crack, it split open!
The multicoloured lights arrived at Eastern Heavenly Gate. Right as Eastern Heavenly Gate rumbled and was about to split apart, Celestial Venerable Xiao suddenly appeared, and with a shout, obstructed the splitting of Eastern Heavenly Gate.
Even so, all the gods in the world who had cultivated to God Realm and opened their Celestial Palaces felt a world-shaking tremor in their minds as though something had split open!
Almost simultaneously, they raised their head and looked towards the direction of Celestial Heavens.
Some gods didn't know where celestial Heavens was, but they all looked towards that direction. That was because the sound in their head was coming from the direction of Celestial Heavens!
This loud sound didn't just enter their minds but it also entered their Dao hearts, as though their Dao hearts had split open!
The current Celestial Heavens was like an open mouth that gave people an incomparably absurd feeling.
Celestial Heavens that represented Celestial Emperor's supreme authority had actually split apart just like that!
Founding Emperor laughed loudly and transformed into a sword light escaping far away. His voice came from afar. “Celestial Venerable Hao, today's destruction of Celestial Heavens was all thanks to your help! I'll visit you again another day!”
Celestial Venerable Hao's paused, and he controlled the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel to chase after him.
Meanwhile, Celestial Venerable Xiao shouted, “Heavenly Ladies, quickly stabilize Celestial Heavens. Don't let it continue to split! Otherwise, Ancestral Court will appear!”
Celestial Venerable Qiang and Celestial Venerable Yan's expressions changed slightly. They hurriedly flew over and worked together to stop Celestial Heavens from splitting.
Celestial Venerable Xiao quickly melted the broken sides of Celestial Heavens, trying to fuse them together. However, even with his remarkable abilities, it was very difficult for him to restore the Celestial Heavens to its previous state.
After he repaired Celestial Heavens, he saw a huge scar in the sky that looked akin the wound on Celestial Heavens!
Outside Celestial Heavens, Qin Mu's heart throbbed. Without a basis, he intuitively felt that the seal of the Ancestral Court had come loosened!
In the depths of the universe, a boundless tremor traveled here, and a rift suddenly appeared in the darkness.
