Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 745 - Swords like Dragons on the Sea

The Jade Pool was like a sea.

To ancient gods with huge corporeal bodies, the Jade Pool was just like a pool to them, but to humans, this place was as vast as the sea. In fact, the Jade Pool still had another name, which was the Jade Sea.

In the sea, divine turtles were carrying hallow and sacred mountains on their backs as they roamed around in pleasure. There were also huge lotuses, and their petals were like mountains. They had a myriad of colors and looked brilliant.

Coming to the Jade Pool, divine arts practitioners wouldn't find the Jade Pool too huge. Instead, they would find that they had shrunk countless times.

In front, Celestial Venerable Hao had already stopped in his tracks. This place was far away from the Jade Pool Small Construction and the Jade Pool Treasured Island. Around him, half-gods walked over, and there were even some flying in the sky and some hidden in the clouds.

There were also some hidden under the sea. When Qin Mu walked on the sea surface, he could see the bodies of huge beasts swimming past quickly. The scales were the same color as the ripples.

"Celestial Venerable Yu, is it really you?"

Celestial Venerable Hao looked at him walking over and suddenly sighed. With a solemn look on his face, he said, "It's weird to say this, but I actually hope you're really him, but I also know you shouldn't be him. You are already dead, you can't be alive. Under that kind of situation, how could you still be alive? Yet you are breathing and alive right in front of me, this makes me very puzzled."

He revealed a dazed expression. "I clearly killed you and destroyed your soul, yet you can still come back from the dead. How did you do it?"

In the sky, an ancient god with huge ears was currently listening in on everything that was happening in the Jade Pool. When he heard Celestial Venerable Hao's words, he suddenly shuddered and turned away.

At the same time, the expression of a one-eyed god under the ground of the Jade Pool had a huge change. He tunneled out from the ground and soared into the sky.

The two ancient gods met each other, and they had a weird expression when they saw each other.

They were none other than Heavenly Hearing and Earthly Sight General that Celestial Emperor had dispatched to investigate this case.

"Should we tell this to His Majesty?" Heavenly Hearing asked.

Earthly Sight shook his head and grunted. "Aren't you afraid of death? If we tell His Majesty, both of us are going to die."

Heavenly Hearing frowned and his ears curled up. He said with a low voice, "His Majesty ordered us to investigate the case, and Celestial Venerable Yu's death is no small matter. He is a celestial Venerable after all, the first celestial venerable. Furthermore, he was the celestial venerable that was blessed by all of the gods. His death will probably create huge trouble!"

Earthly Sight only had an eye in the heart of his brows. At this moment, he closed his eyes and shook his head. "So what if we tell His Majesty? His Majesty will just leave it unsettled. The trouble created will only be even bigger. At that time, His Majesty will just seal our mouths and get rid of us."


Heavenly Hearing was instantly out of ideas. "What should we do?"

"See no evil, hear no evil."

Ancient God Earthly Sight said, "I'm blind, and you're deaf, that will protect our lives."

Ancient God Heavenly Hearing nodded his head. "We can only do so. It's just Celestial Venerable Yu will have lost his life in vain. Celestial Venerable Mu transforming into Celestial Venerable Yu, imparting his technique in place of him, and even taking revenge for him. He is probably going to lose his life in vain too. What a pity, what a pity, two celestial venerables lost..."

Ancient God Earthly Sight said with a sigh, "When he took out Celestial Venerable Yu's corpse, I jumped in shock. When he transformed into Celestial Venerable Yu, I was shocked again. I didn't know what he wanted to do, but when I heard him imparting the techniques in place of Celestial Venerable Yu, I started to admire him."

Ancient God Heavenly Hearing hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, how should we answer about his matters?"

Ancient God Earthly Sight also hesitated for a moment. "See no evil, hear no evil, we are blind and deaf. We didn't see him and we also don't know that he transformed into Celestial Venerable Yu."

"That's right, nothing happened here, we are unaware!"

After the two ancient gods finished their discussion, they immediately flew away.

On the surface of the sea, half-gods roamed in the sky and on the sea surface. They locked down the area.

Around Celestial Venerable Hao, half-gods surrounded him to protect him.

"Celestial Venerable Yu, you insist on falling out?"

Celestial Venerable Hao sighed and said with a smile, "You know my background, you can't touch me. You suffered, but you can only endure it."

"Celestial Venerable Yu, you can retreat."

In front of him, a half-god had the whiskers of a tiger and the scales of a dragon, and he revealed a body of half a human and half a god. He said indifferently, "Even though you have suffered, your body hasn't died, you are a genius, you should be able to see and understand the current trend."

"You're right."

Another half-god also transformed into a half-god and half-human form. He chuckled and said, "When you died in the Slow Winding Pavilion, you should have known you can't fight Celestial Venerable Hao. Have you forgotten how you were always unable to escape from the Slow Winding Pavilion? Have you forgotten who used magic power to seal the Slow Winding Pavilion?"

Another half-god transformed and smiled. "Even though you are the genius of the human race and you are crowned as celestial venerable that's blessed by all gods, you are still a human after all. It was that existence that got us to seal the Slow Winding Pavilion, which is why you couldn't get any help no matter how much you cried."

Another half-god walked forward and smirked. "Human, naturally weak, even if you cultivate the Celestial Palace, it's still impossible for you to be a match for half-gods. You will only die here by forcing yourself to make a mistake again! This time, you will definitely not come back to life!"

Celestial Venerable Hao said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Yu..."

Qin Mu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interrupted him. "Shouldn't you call me brother or father?"

Celestial Venerable Hao laughed loudly. "Call you brother or father? Do you know who my father is? Do you know who my brother is..."

Boom!

Qin Mu took a step forward, and the surface of the sea exploded. Celestial Venerable Hao was astonished. Suddenly, darkness loomed over his eyes. 'So fast!'

He was being surrounded by numerous half-gods, and these half-gods were followers he had chosen carefully. Every half-god had extremely powerful abilities, and there were even half-gods stronger than him.

He was also a half-god himself. His bloodline was even higher than the other half-gods, so after he grew, his abilities would be stronger than the other half-gods.

Yet he was only in his teenage years while the half-gods that were following him were much older; thus, their abilities were even stronger.

Yet this step of Qin Mu made him moved like a phantom to his face. The other half-gods didn't have time to react!

The darkness in front of his eyes wasn't because the sky suddenly turned dark; it was because Qin Mu's fist had come right into his face and blocked all of his vision!

Celestial Venerable Hao's face distorted, and when Qin Mu's fist smashed his face, he could hear his nose bridge cracking. In the next instant, he heard the crisp crack from his rib.

That was the first rib.

Then, it was the second, and the third!

Qin Mu's fist landed on his face and at the same time, his kneecap smashed heavily on his ribs.

Two kinds of force exploded at the same time, and Celestial Venerable Hao flew backward. He still couldn't see anything in front of his eyes.

Pak.

He bounced up high and landed on the water surface; then, he bounced up again and landed back down once more.

"You dare!"

Numerous half-gods only reacted after, and the half-god with tiger whiskers and dragon scales roared. The blood in his body boiled, and his god might climbed upwards furiously. His aura instantly became incomparably terrifying and violent.

However, before his attack could even land, a sword light had already pierced through his head!

Qin Mu pulled out his sword, and his body bent at a weird angle. Avoiding the attack behind him, he grabbed the hand of another half-god, and that half-god had scales all over his hands. The scales flew up and swirled to slice at Qin Mu.

The sword in Qin Mu's hand suddenly transformed into knife light and the knife light crisscrossed. That half-god held onto his neck, but the head on his neck had already rushed into the sky via his vigorous qi and blood.

The other half-gods were all surrounding Qin Mu and shouted angrily in unison. Seawater rose up like a water pillar and the huge figures attacked towards Qin Mu all together!

"Return of Thousand Palms!"

Around Qin Mu's body, countless after images of him were formed, and they suddenly merged.

"Beyond the Strange Peaks of Heavens!"

Boom!

His skill from his martial path exploded, and the huge figures went flying in all directions, making huge waves as they crashed into the sea.

Qin Mu wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth and stepped towards Celestial Venerable Hao who had smashed into the sea.

The sea suddenly split apart, and the half-gods hiding underwater opened their huge mouths to bite at him.

Runes around Qin Mu's body swirled and his teleportation divine art was activated. The head of that half-god was suddenly teleported, and only his headless body crashed into the sea. The gods blood dyed a part of the sea red in color.

In the next moment, Qin Mu's figure appeared, and he smashed through the head of that half-god with a punch. There was no blood on his body at all as he walked forward.

In front, Celestial Venerable Hao's face was all bloodied, and he suppressed his injuries. He turned around to escape and shouted, "Stop him!"

Swooshing sounds came from above Qin Mu's head as a half-god flapped his wings to swoop down from the sky. His speed was extremely fast, and he was like a shooting star.

Half-god possessed the bloodline of ancient gods, and they each had special skills and areas they were good in. The closer they got to adulthood, the stronger their battle power would be.

Some half-gods weren't weaker than the ancient gods.

Those half-gods that were following Celestial Venerable Hao were all the younger generation, but their abilities were pretty extraordinary. Yet when the half-god with bird wings swooped down, he instantly lost sight of Qin Mu.

His neck felt cold, and then he saw his headless body crashing into the sea.

'What is this divine art? I have never seen it before...'

Qin Mu continued forward, and his gaze was fixed on Celestial Venerable Hao who was stumbling away miserably. The sea in front exploded, and a divine elephant that was completely white came sprinting towards him on the sea. Two huge waves were being raised to the left and right, and each wave was three hundred yards tall.

The divine elephant trumpeted, and its sound was deafening. He charged towards Qin Mu at a terrifying speed.

Qin Mu raised both of his arms, and a knife light came slashing down to slice the divine elephant in half. He kept on sprinting and ran past the two halves of the elephant.

Celestial Venerable Hao turned back to look at this sight, and he was endlessly astonished.

The sea surged, and a huge fish soared into the sky, controlling the seawater to press down on Qin Mu!

The sea suddenly trembled and covered Qin Mu.

"Dead! Dead!" The huge fish was incomparably delighted and shouted.

Other half-gods also came flying over and landed on the sea surface. Divine light came out from their eyes as they looked for signs of Qin Mu.

Celestial Venerable Hao also stopped and spat out the blood in his mouth.

Right at this moment, a pitch-black gate suddenly appeared on the sea and started spinning furiously. It swept past the bodies of the half-gods, and their souls fell into Youdu. They crashed into the sea as they turned into corpses.

Celestial Venerable Hao's pupils shrank. He only saw Qin Mu's head popping out from the sea before he gradually rose up. Even if he was in the sea, he was still walking over calmly.

Qin Mu's body grew taller and taller as he appeared on the sea surface once again.

"You aren't Celestial Venerable Yu, Celestial Venerable Yu doesn't have such astonishing divine arts..."

Celestial Venerable Hao moved back and stared at Qin Mu. The other half-gods came and spewed fire while some shot powerful beams from their gazes. Some had feathers as swords and knives, but to Qin Mu, these divine arts from the primitive people were simply too superficial.

Before these divine arts could even reach him, the owner of the divine art would already have been slaughtered by him.

In this era, there was no divine art that was worth his time!

Even with god-like abilities, other divine arts were full of flaws in his eyes. As long as the opponent attacked, they were bound to die.

He continued forward, and Celestial Venerable Hao gritted his teeth and continued running. He shouted, "I know who you are! Celestial Venerable Mu..."

He escaped to a divine mountain and shouted loudly, "Celestial Venerable Mu wants to kill me!"

The turtle carrying the divine mountain turned around and looked at Qin Mu, who was walking over step by step. He said with a solemn voice, "Celestial Venerable Yu, even though you have remarkable abilities, this is the Jade Pool. Do you know who Celestial Venerable Hao's mother is? If you knew..."

Qin Mu raised his hand, and countless swords traveled underwater at a rapid speed. That old turtle was furious and sneered, "How dare a pearl the size of a grain shine in front of the sun..."

"Opening Calamity—"

A beam of sword light was brilliant like a pillar. It stretched over a dozen miles and pierced through the heart of the turtle's brows before it shot out from the back of the island.

The divine mountain sank.

Qin Mu recalled his swords, and they formed a circular ball that spun quickly on the sea surface.

Celestial Venerable Hao, who was on the divine mountain, hurriedly jumped and escaped.

Runes swirled around Qin Mu as he flashed and closed the distance between them.

Suddenly, a cryptic aura came over and caused the space in the surroundings to tremble continuously.

Celestial Venerable Hao was delighted and shouted loudly, "Mother!"

Qin Mu's pupils contracted. He stretched his hands to point out, and the speed of the sword pellet instantly increased by more than ten times. All of his magic power, all of his essence, energy, and spirit were fused into this sword!

He had to kill Celestial Venerable Hao before that incomparably strong existence descends!
