Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 150 Battle
After entering the great formation, Wuji sat down and said, "King Yuanxiang, I think you'd better go and heal your wounds. Otherwise, I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you and people will say I took advantage of you."

"Arrogant!"

Before King Yuanxiang could say anything, the demon cultivators below the stage could not bear it. Although they dared not make a loud noise due to the warning from Great Sage Qianyuan, countless whispers of curses and discussions began to circulate.

The human cultivators below the stage were confused. Although Wuji had a record of defeating the Golden Serpent King, it might have been impressive in the past, but it was not enough now.

Can he replace Chongxu and become the number one prodigy of the human race in this generation?
In the corner, a fat Taoist priest muttered, "Why did this kid choose this path? Is he trying to master all five secret realms and then connect them to achieve the ultimate development of his potential?"

"However, the limit of cultivating a single secret realm is the Great Saint realm. This kid obviously intentionally stopped before becoming a Saint in order to maintain the continuity of the five secret realms?"

"Could this be Wuji's doing? But it's good, this kid is indeed extremely talented. Giving him some challenges might help him go further in the future."

This fat Taoist priest was naturally an incarnation of the Underworld Lord, or he could also be called Duan De. Over the past few decades, he had devoted himself to archaeological discoveries and geological research, traveling among ancient stars, and finally discovered some suitable places for him to be buried so that he could begin his next life.

Therefore, he actually knew little about Wuji's development. He only came to join the fun because he heard that a grand meeting was going to be held at Mount Tai. After all, this mountain was the place where the Moral Celestial Venerable underwent his transformation.

He even learned from Wuji about the connection between the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and the Desolate Emperor with this place. Therefore, this once-famous mountain, now in considerable decline, naturally became a location worthy of his careful study.

Upon arriving here, he quickly learned of Wuji's whereabouts. He even caught a glimpse of him from afar, which filled him with a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or regret).

Upon hearing Wuji's words, the Great Sage Xuantu nearly spat out the spiritual tea in his mouth. He laughed and said, "Is this the remaining genius of your human race, named Wuji? Hmm, he cultivates a single secret realm, and has reached the half-saint level in both the Sea of ​​Wheels and the Dao Palace secret realms. While such achievements are remarkable, isn't his behavior a bit too arrogant?"

He said that, but he secretly became more vigilant because he found that Wuji's blood and energy were terrifyingly strong, seemingly no weaker than Yuanxiang King.

Even his primordial spirit power is comparable to that of the Yuanxiang King, who has been tempered and refined over countless trials.

Originally, Wuji must have been hiding a high-level Heaven-Deceiving Array pattern on his body, which is why he didn't notice anything amiss. Now that Wuji has voluntarily removed this array pattern, it's no wonder that these things have nowhere to hide.

The Great Sage Qian Yuan felt a slight sense of relief. He had just been misled by the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns, making it difficult to ascertain Wuji's exact strength. But now, he knew that Wuji was capable of fighting against the Yuanxiang King.

Therefore, he said calmly, "These younger generation think they're invincible just because they have a little skill. They'll learn their lesson after a while. Come, have some tea."

Regardless of what others thought, King Yuanxiang did not refute these words at all. Instead, he said, "Your human race is truly profound. I thought one Chongxu was enough, so when he said there was another person who could fight me, I didn't quite believe it."

"But now that I see you, I'm finally certain that you are the strongest prodigy of the human race. Therefore, even if you didn't say it, I would still go and heal my wounds first. I have a feeling that you are indeed my formidable enemy."

With that, King Yuanxiang left the battle platform for the first time and entered the array pattern for healing his injuries. The battle with Chongxu still had a significant impact on him. Facing a formidable enemy like Wuji, he still needed to heal his injuries and be in the best possible condition to face the enemy.

Soon, Yuanxiang King returned to the battle platform. He had fully recovered, his blood and qi surging, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens. With an indomitable momentum, the wind and clouds stirred with every move, and the mountains and rivers trembled with every step. The shadow of a dragon and an elephant appeared and disappeared on his body, like an ancient behemoth, a top predator in the universe, and gusts of bloody wind blew Wuji's clothes.

Wuji stood up, his body radiating boundless divine light that illuminated all directions, as if the Heavenly Emperor had descended to earth and a Celestial Venerable had been reborn. His vital energy surged and almost condensed into a celebratory cloud.

His imposing presence was fully revealed, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Xiangwang, engaging in a sharp confrontation.

Seeing Wuji's performance, Yuanxiang King was filled with excitement, his fighting spirit reaching its peak. He took the initiative and threw a punch, which instantly caused dragons to dance wildly and all things to collapse. The terrifying force seemed capable of crushing all obstacles in his path and leveling the earth.

Wuji's palm revealed the secret of the character "Dou" (斗), and a majestic mountain appeared—Mount Tai, where they were located. With the enhancement of the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, he had long ago gained a considerable understanding of the form and even the spirit of Mount Tai. Although this was the first time he had manifested Mount Tai, he vaguely felt a sense of both form and spirit, as if he truly held Mount Tai in his palm.

Immediately, he unleashed the Mountain Embracing Seal, using the illusory image of the first mountain of this ancient primordial star as a weapon, smashing it down on Yuanxiang King. In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and a force as powerful as a tidal wave swept in.

The void trembled, countless stones and earth flew and shattered into dust; dragons and elephants were slaughtered, their blood staining the sky. This attack was like two stars colliding, bringing with it a sense of apocalyptic destruction.

The two, one human and one demon, resembled two great suns, emitting boundless divine light, making it difficult for the audience below to see them clearly.

This kind of momentum truly filled countless cultivators with despair. Living alongside these two in the same lifetime, they were destined to be nothing more than supporting characters.

Even the Demon Ape King, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but sigh, admitting his inferiority. However, he secretly made up his mind to go to the Ancient Star Road and become stronger.

He's a gibbon, so even if he's behind now, he has a great chance to catch up in the future.

As for the other demon kings, they fell silent, and even the usually arrogant Mad Lion King had lost his pride.

The same was true for the human race. Wan Jianyi and Yao Jinyun, who had recovered, couldn't help but sigh, thinking that they were strong enough, but it still wasn't enough.

Chongxu barely regained consciousness, and upon seeing this scene, he smiled with relief. After all, his intuition had long told him that Wuji was definitely no ordinary person, and now it had finally come true.

After a long while, the divine light dissipated, and the two figures that resembled ancient gods appeared.

King Yuanxiang laughed and said, "Good, I came here this time hoping to have a strong enough opponent for my final battle on the ancient star of the Primordial World. Although Chongxu is amazing, he is still a bit lacking. Defeating you will be an important milestone on my path to enlightenment."

Wuji stretched his limbs and said, "It's just a little stretching. Let's talk about these feelings later."
