Tales of Herding Gods

Chapter 1265 – Success

Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Hao fought their way to the main camp of the celestial heavens, and for a moment, the entire camp was in chaos. The gods and divine generals were all fleeing, and the divine generals in charge of the various camps were at a loss. They could only watch as Qin Mu unleashed his divine arts and destroyed the entire camp.

Meanwhile, Celestial Venerable Hao was running towards Green Deity and White Deity.

The colored deities, the heavenly teachers, and heavenly kings felt their heads swelling. The fourth heavenly master, Zhu Shaoping, sighed. “Where’s Son of Heaven Yin?”

“How cunning is Son of Heaven Yin? Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have come. He would have pushed this hot potato to us.”

Meng Yungui gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, now that Celestial Venerable Hao is rushing towards us, we have to make a move no matter what.”

Everyone’s hearts tightened as they nodded silently.

Celestial Venerable Hao had clearly seen them, which was why he was running here. If they didn’t save him, he would be guilty.

One had to know that Celestial Venerable Hao and Celestial Venerable Mu were the existences that imparted the creation of the divine art to the masses. Who would dare to kill them openly?

If they didn’t save him, they wouldn’t be able to get past the responsibility of the celestial heavens.

All living beings in the world would also scold them. It was fine if they died, but if they were infamous, it would be a huge matter.

They were about to attack when they heard a loud boom. Celestial Venerable Hao and Qin Mu vanished together.

Everyone was shocked. Meng Yungui instantly came to a realization and shouted, “Celestial Venerable Mu dragged Celestial Venerable Hao to the Great Void and Youdu!”

Everyone was at a loss. North Heavenly King Yi Luo said with a smile, “We shouldn’t be far from Son of Heaven Yin’s camp. Now Son of Heaven Yin has no choice but to make a move.”

In Youdu, Son of Heaven Yin had long heard the news and knew that Qin Mu was chasing after Celestial Venerable Hao. His face turned ashen, and he couldn’t sit still.

What he was worried about wasn’t that Qin Mu’s abilities were strong enough to kill Celestial Venerable Hao. He had also heard about Celestial Venerable Hao being severely injured in the battle with the Grand Emperor, but he didn’t expect Celestial Venerable Hao to be so severely injured!

The number one Celestial Venerable recognized by the celestial heavens was actually chased down by Qin Mu and forced to flee for his life.

He didn’t really want to save Celestial Venerable Hao, and the reason was the same as the reason why Meng Yungui and the rest weren’t willing to help. Celestial Venerable Hao had been killed by Qin Mu into the nine heavens and into the nine springs. How miserable was that?

If Celestial Venerable Hao survived, he would definitely purge the people who knew about this and maintain his image of righteousness.

The more he knew, the faster he would die. Son of Heaven Yin understood this logic better than anyone else.

After all, he had seen Celestial Venerable Hao kill Great Sun Sovereign.

“However, Qin Mu has already killed Celestial Venerable Hao to the front of the Youdu camp. If I don’t save him…”

Son of Heaven Yin looked into the distance and saw Qin Mu pressuring Celestial Venerable Hao with a crushing force. All kinds of divine arts danced in the sky, and Celestial Venerable Hao blocked them while escaping towards the Youdu camp.

However, seeing that he was already like a lamp that had run out of oil, it was hard for him to last much longer.

Celestial Venerable Hao escaped while dispersing the chaotic cultivation in his body.

Qin Mu had the upper hand and suppressed him from the sky to the ground, from Youdu to the Land of the Great Void, from this camp to that camp. During this period, Celestial Venerable Hao had already dispersed twenty-six celestial palaces, leaving only nine.

However, he still couldn’t suppress his injuries.

If he continued to disperse, he would eventually lose all his cultivation and die in Qin Mu’s hands!

Even though he was in a sorry state and had lost all face in front of the soldiers of the celestial heavens’ main camp, he still had to persevere.

On the other side, Son of Heaven Yin paced back and forth on the city tower, his expression flickering between dark and clear. ‘Qin Mu and I have a grudge of killing my son and my wife, so I have to take revenge. However, if I make a move, I might become the second Great Sun Sovereign in the future…’

He was in a dilemma. Celestial Venerable Hao was his backer, and the reason why he could hold on to the position of Black Deity for so many years was mostly because of Celestial Venerable Hao’s support.

If Qin Mu really killed Celestial Venerable Hao and his backer collapsed, he wouldn’t be executed. However, his power and status would be hard to protect.

On one hand, it was his life, and on the other, it was his power. It was hard for him to part with both sides.

Just as he was hesitating, the drums suddenly sounded like thunder, and he heard the report of a god. “Your Majesty, rebel Qin Fengqing and King Yama have invaded!”

“What a life-saving straw!”

Son of Heaven Yin’s spirit was roused, and he shouted, “Gather the army and fight! Kill all the traitors—”

A Northern Deity General hesitated. “Your Majesty, Celestial Venerable Hao…”

Son of Heaven Yin took a look at him, and the divine general felt as though he had fallen into an icy pit. He kept quiet out of fear and didn’t dare to say another word.

Carefree Village and the Paramita Void also received news that Qin Mu was currently chasing after Celestial Venerable Hao and had already chased him for tens of thousands of miles, causing chaos in the celestial heavens’ camp.

The higher-ups of Carefree Village looked at each other in dismay. However, the masters of creation of the Paramita Void were overjoyed and praised, “The holy infant is invincible!”

Woodcutter, Yan Yunxi, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, Xiu Zhong, Can Nü, and the rest had escaped back to the main camp. When they heard this news, they were also indescribably shocked. Their eyes were wide open, and they were speechless.

Woodcutter sighed. “Mu’er sent Celestial Venerable Hao to the main camp of the celestial heavens to undermine his reputation, destroy his image, and destroy Celestial Venerable Hao’s invincible image. If he could kill Celestial Venerable Hao, he wouldn’t have to do this.”

He was well aware.

The reason why Qin Mu had stripped Celestial Venerable Hao of his reputation and destroyed his image was because he wasn’t confident in killing him. Thus, he sought to maximize his benefits and plant his invincible seed in front of the gods of the celestial heavens, planting a huge shadow in Celestial Venerable Hao’s Dao heart!

Saint Woodcutter became excited again. “However, now is the best time to attack the main camp of the celestial heavens!”

He was about to give the order when he saw the army of gods and devils from Carefree Village and the Paramita Void starting to move, attacking the camp of the celestial heavens.

Saint Woodcutter was stunned. He raised his head and saw a monk and a Daoist mobilizing the masters of creation of Carefree Village and Paramita. Beside them was the former number one heavenly master of the celestial heavens, Yue Tingge.

Saint Woodcutter revealed a smile. “My two disciples are both very capable. Only big brother isn’t too hardworking… However, having two capable disciples is already not bad.”

Bang!

Celestial Venerable Hao rolled and crashed into Son of Heaven Yin’s Youdu camp. This was Ming City, the place where Son of Heaven Yin stored his troops. However, what made Celestial Venerable Hao furious was that there wasn’t a single soldier in the city!

Son of Heaven Yin actually ordered all the armies to leave the city and fight Carefree Village!

“Yin Chaojin…”

Celestial Venerable Hao gritted his teeth and stood up shakily. Suddenly, his knees gave way, and he knelt heavily on the ground, unable to stand up again.

His head was lowered, and his hands pushed against the ground. However, the power in his hands also dissipated.

His body fell forward, and his face hit the ground. He slid forward along the cold ground until he was sprawled on the ground.

Blood flowed out from his mouth.

He tried his best to raise his head to see where Qin Mu was, but he couldn’t raise his head.

He still had one more trump card, and that was to completely cripple his other celestial palaces and only keep one main celestial palace. In that case, he could control his own power!

However, if he did that, it would be equivalent to crippling himself from the Celestial Heavens Realm. It would be equivalent to beating himself back to the Emperor’s Throne Realm!

Furthermore, even if his cultivation was crippled, his injuries were still there. He might not have the power to get rid of Qin Mu.

He was unwilling to accept this!

But he had no choice.

He prepared to accumulate the last of his strength to give Qin Mu a fatal blow!

At this moment, he heard footsteps. These should be Qin Mu’s footsteps.

However, what puzzled him was the footsteps of another person coming from behind him.

Qin Mu’s footsteps stopped, and he was slightly further away. It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of the person behind him.

He heard the voice of a very pleasant woman, and she said gently beside his ear, “Celestial Venerable Hao, do you want your injuries to heal?”

Celestial Venerable Hao’s head was dizzy, and his throat was filled with blood. He could only let out bubbles from the blood and chuckle.

He was speechless.

“As long as you say yes, your injuries will heal.”

That woman’s voice was very pleasant to listen to, and it seemed to carry a kind of natural charm. She said softly, “As long as you want, your crumbling celestial palace can be restored. As long as you want, your cultivation can be restored.”

That voice seemed to come from a dream, gentle, distant, and seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. “As long as you want, your Dao injuries can be healed. As long as you want, you can suppress everyone and get rid of Heaven Duke and Earth Count, getting rid of all obstacles to become Celestial Emperor. Do you want to?”

Celestial Venerable Hao tried his best to spit out the blood in his mouth. He could finally speak, and his voice was hoarse. “Yes—”
