Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1654 - Arrogance

Bai Qu'er took a step back, and a tall figure sat up from the emperor's coffin. This High Emperor was clearly not a human, but a demon from a Postcelestial race.

During the High Emperor Era, humans weren't the only ones who held the position of the High Emperor Celestial Emperor. Celestial Venerable Yue and Celestial Venerable Ling supported the High Emperor Era and selected outstanding people from the Postcelestial races. Among them, a few Celestial Emperors were from other races.

That High Emperor Great Emperor was already a corpse demon, and his corpse had turned into a demon. His body was covered in chains, but Yi Shisheng had suppressed him here to prevent him from turning into a corpse demon to create havoc.

Even though his body still retained his obsession, after transforming into a corpse demon, he had more bloodthirsty instincts, so Yi Shisheng had no choice but to suppress him.

The High Emperor Emperor was surrounded by corpse aura as he lowered his head to look at Celestial Venerable Yue's decree. Green light filled his eyes.

The corpse aura on his body was too dense, making him extremely uncomfortable. That was why Bai Qu'er had retreated.

"It's indeed my master's handwriting."

The corpse of that High Emperor said solemnly, "Senior brothers, master has summoned us to fight for the human race, what do you think?"

A dull sound came from one of the emperor's coffins. "We are already dead. We died for the humans and Postcelestial lifeforms. Even though my heart is no longer beating and my blood is no longer flowing, the battle back then still made my heart surge. However, we are already dead."

A heavy voice came from the other emperor's coffin. "There's still the sound of war drums in my mind."

"High Emperor has lived for three hundred thousand years, how many heroes have been born? This era is our era, it shouldn't be buried with us."

"During the Dragon Han Era, Crimson Emperor Era, Founding Emperor Era, and Eternal Peace Era, there were undying beings that came into being and fought for this calamity. What about the most glorious High Emperor Era?"

"The High Emperor Era didn't sink, it wasn't buried!"

"The master who taught us is still around, and he's still fighting for his life! We can't return to the dust!"

…

Rumbling sounds of qi and blood flowing came from the emperor's coffins, and the chains that bound them snapped one after another!

The qi and blood of those High Emperor Emperors that had already withered started to revive once again. In the sky above the emperor's coffin, the figures of the nine great emperors appeared, looking at Bai Qu'er.

"Even though there are quite a number of High Emperors whose souls and bones have been destroyed, we are lucky to have preserved their bodies. We will fight for them!"

The corpse aura of the last High Emperor Celestial Emperor was strong, and he said to Bai Qu'er, "Go to Eternal Peace first and tell the emperor there that the High Emperor Era is still there. Even if we are already dead, we will still crawl out of our graves and continue to fight for the Postcelestial lifeforms of the human race!"

"This is our unfinished business!"

"Our junior brother, Yi Shisheng, will carry our coffins to the battlefield!"

Bai Qu'er bowed to the nine emperors, stood up, and led everyone away.

In the abyss of the Ruins of End.

Celestial Venerable Yun fought against the power of the abyss. He could already borrow the Dao Tree's Dao fruit to fight against the cold wind of the Ultimate Void. However, the abyss was filled with a hot and lonely wind that even Dao Fruits would find hard to defend against. It constantly exhausted his magic power and even caused his Great Dao to continuously disintegrate.

"This place is probably a dangerous place for those who imprint the ultimate void to achieve the Dao!"

Luckily, his cultivation was strong enough, and he finally reached the bottommost layer of the abyss of the Ruins of End. He saw a snow white ball wrapped around Mistress Yuanmu, spinning continuously, making it hard for her to defend.

That snow white ball was formed by strands of hair. The white hair was like silk, sealing off Mistress Yuanmu, who had achieved the Dao, making it difficult for her to escape.

Celestial Venerable Yun grabbed the stem of the twin lotuses and looked down. There was a huge woman's face at the bottom of the sea, and it was bound by chains.

However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find Celestial Venerable Ling.

'Could Celestial Venerable Ling have met with misfortune?' He was astonished.

Right at this moment, Mistress Yuanmu suddenly shouted, "Sister, you and I can only fight this calamity together if we work together. If we manage to escape, I'll let you take over the corporeal body!"

"Alright!"

Celestial Empress' voice suddenly came from Mistress Yuanmu's body. "If you and I execute the path of reincarnation, it won't be hard to escape!"

"Dao of Reincarnation?"

Celestial Venerable Yun was slightly stunned. "Isn't that Celestial Venerable Mu's ultimate art?"

Back in the Great Overarching Heaven, Qin Mu had exchanged techniques with him. He had imparted the consciousness path he had comprehended to Qin Mu, and Qin Mu had also imparted what he had learned to him. Celestial Venerable Yun was no stranger to Qin Mu's reincarnation path.

His heart stirred slightly. 'This must have been imparted to them by Celestial Venerable Mu. Do I need Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu to work together to execute it? Hehe, it looks like Celestial Venerable Mu is holding back! The path of reincarnation that he imparted to Mistress Yuanmu and Celestial Empress must have a flaw!'

His gaze flickered as he observed Mistress Yuanmu's every move, trying to see the flaw Qin Mu had left behind when Mistress Yuanmu and Celestial Empress executed the path of reincarnation.

Below, in the ball, Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu controlled their corporeal bodies to execute the divine art of reincarnation. Rays of light swirled and sliced out from the white-haired ball.

Wherever the white hair passed by, it would form a space of the Ruins of End. However, the halo of reincarnation would slice out from the Ruins of End, making it unable to block their bodies!

Mistress Yuanmu passed through the Dao Reincarnation and quickly escaped from the white-haired ball. She immediately rushed towards Celestial Venerable Yun!

Mistress Yuanmu was abnormally excited and chuckled. "Sister, you are really naive. Do you really think I will hand my corporeal body to you?"

Right at this moment, she saw a handsome man floating down from the sky. His ten fingers moved up and down like lotus petals spinning and blooming!

Mistress Yuanmu was caught off guard and waved her sleeves to block repeatedly. However, she was tapped by the man on the revolving halo of reincarnation.

Mistress Yuanmu grunted, and the mole between her eyebrows transformed into a red mole.

"Minister Yun." Celestial Empress raised her head and looked at Celestial Venerable Yun.

"Celestial Empress."

Celestial Venerable Yun bowed slightly. "Where is Celestial Venerable Ling?"

"Celestial Venerable Ling has already been sent to the prehistoric universe by the second young master of the Miro Palace in the Chaos Sea. He said that he wanted to fulfill her unrivaled reputation."

Celestial Empress rose into the air and said solemnly, "You helped me suppress that little slut, I won't lie to you."

Celestial Venerable Yun walked beside her and said, "I trust you, Empress."

The two of them rushed out of the abyss of the Ruins of End one after another. One landed on the left side of the abyss while the other landed on the right.

Celestial Empress' gaze landed on him, and she said indifferently, "In that case, why is Celestial Venerable Yun still following me? Must you attack me?"

Celestial Venerable Yun shook his head. "Goddess, even though you have become the owner of this body, how are you going to face yourself when you return to the celestial heavens? Celestial Venerable Hao might not be able to tolerate you."

Celestial Empress snorted. "I shall find Grand Primordium. With my help, Grand Primordium can seize the throne!"

Celestial Venerable Yun laughed loudly and shook his head. "It's laughable that you are still so naive. Back then, you were betrayed by Grand Primordium and Yuanmu and ended up like this. You still have to rely on your adulterer. Goddess, you are proficient in the art of reincarnation. Can't you disguise yourself as Mistress Yuanmu? Will Celestial Venerable Hao still be wary of you if you disguise yourself as Mistress Yuanmu?"

Celestial Empress thought about it carefully. The path of reincarnation could indeed reach this step, and it was so lifelike that no one could see it.

"Minister Yun, why are you helping me?"

Celestial Empress sneered. "You want me to bring chaos to the celestial heavens and help Eternal Peace win?"

Celestial Venerable Yun didn't deny it and nodded with a smile. "That's right. In that case, what would Celestial Empress choose?"

Celestial Empress executed the divine art of reincarnation, and her appearance, voice, and personality became exactly the same as Mistress Yuanmu. She flew up diagonally and continued to face him. She didn't dare to relax and chuckled. "I shall do as you wish!"

Celestial Venerable Yun hesitated for a moment. In the sky behind Celestial Empress, his Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven appeared, and the Grand Primordium Emperor Sword hung on the Dao Tree, ready to stab.

However, he stopped and didn't take the chance to assassinate Celestial Empress.

'Celestial Venerable Ling isn't around, and Eternal Peace has one less expert, so I can only keep Celestial Empress. Besides, I might not be able to assassinate her…'

When he thought of this, his consciousness faded away, and he smiled at Celestial Empress.

On the celestial river, the army of the celestial heavens marched majestically along the celestial river. Almost all the gods and devils in the celestial heavens were conscripted. There were also many gods and devils that flew to different heavens. Those heavens were under the direct jurisdiction of the celestial heavens. Those gods and devils held Emperor Hao Tian's decree and conscripted all the armies to head to the Primordial Realm.

Along the way, the scale of the celestial heavens' punitive expedition against the Primordial Realm grew larger. Reinforcements from the various heavens joined in continuously, and the commotion grew larger.

Along the way, the celestial heavens eradicated a few more heavens that rebelled and caused chaos. They robbed these heavens and captured many slaves to manage the logistics.

At the same time, Ancestral God King who lived in Xuandu used the power of Heaven Duke to activate the water of the celestial river, increasing the speed of the army of the celestial heavens.

On the surface of the celestial river, there were numerous divine soldiers and divine generals on all kinds of ships. These ships themselves were all heavy weapons, and there were even sun and moon revolving around them. Not only were there day and night on the ships, but there were also the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

There were even some who rode on a celestial palace to travel. There were gods and devils in the celestial palace!

The star gods and heavenly devils of the celestial heavens were also mobilizing the stars and constellations to rush over.

There were even some ships that were dragging huge divine weapons as they sailed on the celestial river.

The divine weapons on these ships didn't look like they were forged by the divine weapons of Eternal Peace. They looked more like they were naturally formed.

On some of the ships, there were huge mountain ranges that had tens of thousands of gods and devils continuously refining them around the mountain range. They were trying to use the shape of the mountain range to refine the mountain range into all kinds of precious treasures!

There were also numerous gods and devils on the ships that were refining the long river that was thousands of miles long. The ancient god of taiji was guiding them from the side, teaching them how to refine the long river into a weapon.

There was even a heavenly gate erected on some of the ships, as well as behemoths like Nine Hells Stage and Jade Pavilion. They were all plucked out by the army of gods and devils of the celestial heavens and refined into treasures!

With the celestial heavens entrenched in the ancestral court, how vast and fertile was it?

The various sacred grounds in the ancestral court had all been excavated by them. These sacred grounds naturally had boundless power. Even though the path of forging in the celestial heavens was inferior to that of Eternal Peace, the power of these sacred grounds was enough to suppress everything!

The million years of accumulation of the celestial heavens not only surpassed Eternal Peace in terms of the number of gods and devils, but also in terms of wealth and resources!

Emperor Hao returned to the central camp with a dark expression. The battle with Qin Mu had given him a strong sense of danger.

This test showed him that the high-end battle power of Eternal Peace was no longer inferior to that of the celestial heavens. The only thing they lacked was the middle and low-level gods. The celestial heavens had an overwhelming advantage in this aspect.

However, if their high-end combat power was damaged, they would definitely lose this battle!

"Now, I can only borrow the power of the third and fourth young masters."

His gaze flickered, and suddenly, a divine future reported, "Your Majesty, the heavens of the celestial lake rebelled. The rebels didn't listen to orders and killed the ruler of the celestial lake. They want to become emperors!"

Emperor Hao Tian smiled slightly and said softly, "Order Ghost God to descend into Youdu and tell Celestial Venerable Xu to sacrifice the heavens of the celestial lake. Remember, tell Celestial Venerable Xu what I said, it's to sacrifice the heavens of the celestial lake!"

That god general hurriedly left.

Emperor Hao Tian leaned back and muttered, "If I sacrifice a heaven to Third Young Master, I should be able to exchange it for a person who has achieved the Dao, right? Third Young Master will also see my loyalty and will definitely lend me even more power! And I'm just a step away from making my second celestial heavens technique complete. At that time, the two methods to achieve the Dao will be in my hands…"

He completely relaxed. "Celestial Venerable Mu, oh Celestial Venerable Mu, I won't let you become my heart devil again. You will definitely lose this battle!"

Destroying Eternal Peace was just around the corner!

Ultimate Void, the abandoned land.

In front of a huge square-shaped stone tablet with a door floating in the air, Qin Mu raised his head to look at it. The stone tablet was refined from chaos stones and wouldn't break for a long time.

Qin Mu examined the writings on the stone tablet. After a moment, he stretched out his palm and forcefully broke off a piece of the stone tablet. He raised his head and swallowed it.

'This chaos stone must be very nutritious. If I eat it and refine it into Primordial Violet Vapor, I might be able to recover to my peak condition…'
