Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 146 Winning streak
King Yuanxiang was even more excited when he saw this. He laughed loudly, "Good, good, good! This move may be able to compete with the Demon Ape King's Sun and Moon in His Palm. But it still won't work against me."

As he spoke, his body trembled, he withdrew his Dharma form, and returned to his normal human size. His right fist transformed into a fist as white as jade, but it had no trace of divine aura, only terrifying and pure power condensed, as if it could destroy everything in its path, moving forward without hesitation.

This punch shook the mountains and rivers, dimmed the sun and moon, and seemed to be unstoppable.

The fist and the imprint collided, creating a terrifying impact that made the entire battle platform tremble precariously. The array patterns that were originally designed to target those below the Saint level began to dim, and instead, higher-level array patterns lit up to maintain the stability of the battle platform.

Amazingly, the God-King Seal was shattered head-on!
Yao Jinyun staggered back a few steps, her right hand twisted beyond recognition, blood splattered everywhere, skin torn open, revealing broken and shattered white bones.

Looking at his fist, which had only suffered a minor scratch, King Yuanxiang said, "Your human race truly produces a wealth of talent. That kid might already be stronger than the Mad Lion King, and you're approaching the Demon Ape King. So, what about the two who haven't appeared yet? Could they be even stronger?"

Yao Jinyun activated her divine blood to heal her injuries: "You haven't even won yet, and you're already thinking about fighting them?"

King Yuanxiang shook his head and laughed, "I thought you had already realized the gap between us. Are you still going to put up a stubborn resistance?"

He glanced at Yao Jinyun's still unyielding eyes and surging fighting spirit, and couldn't help but say, "It seems you still have tricks up your sleeve? Stop, you can't possibly defeat me."

Yao Jinyun sighed slightly and said, "I have one last move to make. Although you do have a better chance of winning, the final outcome is still uncertain. You'd better be prepared for this last move."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sighed softly at King Yuanxiang.

Yuanxiang King's expression changed slightly. A tiny wound appeared between his brows, and a drop of blood slowly flowed down. Immediately afterward, rays of divine light surged from his celestial platform, attempting to obliterate his primordial spirit.

Yuanxiang King said, "Is this the legendary sigh of the gods? It can actually bypass my blood and qi and directly attack my primordial spirit. It is truly a supreme secret technique."

A terrifying wave of divine thought spread out, and a terrifying primordial spirit power emerged from the Yuanxiang King's platform, faintly transforming into a true dragon soaring and a Kunpeng spreading its wings, annihilating each of these divine lights.

He wiped away the drop of blood and said, "You thought my physical body was too strong to be broken, so you set your sights on my primordial spirit. Not a bad idea, but unfortunately, I have been tempered and refined, and have long since forged an immortal primordial spirit that you cannot break through."

Yao Jinyun also felt a sense of helplessness. Could it be that this Yuanxiang King really had no weaknesses?

She sighed, "I lost."

King Yuanxiang did not continue to attack, but said, "Then you may leave."

Yao Jinyun stared at him: "Aren't you going to continue attacking me?"

King Yuanxiang sighed, "I'll say it again: I'll give you the chance to catch up with me until we never see each other again. With people like you around, I can always remind myself not to slack off. The path to enlightenment is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

Yao Jinyun stepped down and returned to Chongxu and Wuji's side.

The Great Sage Xuantu said, "Fellow Daoist Qianyuan, do you still place your hopes on that boy with the innate Dao embryo? Perhaps in the future, that boy named Chongxu can continue to improve, but now he will not be a match for King Yuanxiang."

The Great Sage Qian Yuan remained silent, staring at the stage without uttering a word.

Below the stage, seeing even Yao Jinyun defeated, the demon cultivators became even more agitated, making faces and taunting the human cultivators. In recent years, their Golden Serpent Demon King and Flying Flower Demon King had suffered consecutive defeats, and at the start of the tournament, they learned of the White Crane King's loss. All told, three of the seven demon kings had already fallen to humans, significantly dampening their morale.

But now they can finally hold their heads high. Yuanxiang King defeated two of them single-handedly, and they have basically regained their footing. If they can defeat Chongxu and Wuji next, then their demon race can completely turn the tide.

Although the human cultivators were shocked, they still had a last hope: to reach the Void Realm. Although Wuji had shown some promise over the years, he was still just a rogue cultivator, and an anomaly at that, cultivating only a single secret realm. Therefore, they did not think Wuji was stronger than the two who had been defeated.

But Chongxu is different. He is a primordial Dao embryo, and he comes from Xuanqing Holy Land, one of the oldest and most powerful forces on the ancient star. You should know that the founder of Xuanqing Holy Land had cultivated with the Celestial Venerable of Morality for a period of time, so he was at least a disciple in name only.

Rounding up, Chongxu is a descendant of the Daode Tianzun.

Under such popular demand, Chongxu stood up.

Yao Jinyun looked troubled; clearly, she didn't think Chongxu could defeat Yuanxiang King, but she didn't know how to dissuade him.

Wuji grabbed him and said, "Let me go."

Chongxu said, "You also think I will lose?"

Wuji did not answer, but his meaning was clear.

Chongxu sighed, "Wuji, I cannot skip this battle. Now, the cultivators below the stage, my sect, and even the human race all hope that I will win. If I avoid the battle, how will I face them in the future?"

Wuji said, "As long as I win, who will care about these things?"

Chongxu laughed and said, "But I want to fight myself, what can I do? Wuji, I have never been able to see through you. Perhaps you really can defeat him. As the holy son of Xuanqing Holy Land and the representative of the human race, my best method is to let you fight against Yuanxiang King."

"If you win, all will be well, and everything I'm carrying will be unaffected; if you lose, then I'll fight with my last hope, hoping to increase my chances of winning by playing the desperate card."

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, I should do this. But I don't want to. Now, after these two battles, we all know that King Yuanxiang has probably already taken the first steps in his own path. Perhaps after embarking on the ancient starry road, he will be able to create his own laws and touch the forbidden realm."

"If I can't defeat him, how can I prove my path? Let me be willful one last time. Besides, I still have some trump cards I've never used before. How can you all assume I'm doomed?"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yao Jinyun could only shake her head and sigh.

Wuji smiled and said, "Alright, since you have this kind of resolve, then go ahead. If you can win, I will challenge you. If you can't win, then the hero who appears in despair, reverses the situation, and turns defeat into victory will have to be me."

Chongxu rolled his eyes at him and turned to walk towards the stage.

After he came up on the stage, he said, "King Yuanxiang, you should take good care of yourself and fully recover. I don't want to take advantage of your misfortune."

King Yuanxiang stared at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You're more interesting than the previous two. Although I don't have anything to recover from, I'll listen to you so that you can act freely without any psychological burden."
