Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 151 Proving the Way with Force
King Yuanxiang laughed and said, "Then let's go!"

As he spoke, countless dragon and elephant shadows swirled around him, as if a demon god had descended to earth, his aura overwhelming mountains and rivers, and he once again attacked Wuji.

Wuji neither dodged nor evaded, his blood and qi surged, and his body radiated boundless divine light. He was like a war god appearing in the world, or a giant who created the world, as he head-on confronted Yuanxiang King.

The two seemed like two colossal gods, towering over the heavens and earth, locked in a fierce battle. The sky collapsed, the earth sank, and an aura of great destruction emanated from them, as if they were about to destroy everything and reduce it to nothingness.

They each unleashed their supernatural powers, unleashing boundless divine might upon each other, engaging in the most dangerous and brutal close-quarters combat from the very beginning!
A series of deafening roars echoed, creating a terrifying sound like the earth shaking, accompanied by the clanging of metal against metal. Their physical bodies were as if made of divine gold and iron, indestructible.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of blows, each one drawing blood and leaving bloodstains everywhere.

King Yuanxiang laughed loudly, "I never expected that someone could actually fight me in close combat without being at a disadvantage! Wuji, you are indeed my match!"

Wuji sneered, "Is this all the tricks you have? If that's all, then you're doomed to lose."

As he spoke, Wuji squeezed the King's Seal with one hand, and his already peak aura surged once more. His essence, energy, and spirit became more condensed than ever before, manifesting supreme majesty, as if an unparalleled king were traveling, looking down upon the world, and reigning supreme in the universe.

Seeing that Wuji could continue to improve, Yuanxiang King also smiled sinisterly. All the dragon and elephant shadows around him disappeared into his body. His demonic aura soared into the sky, and countless ancient and primitive runes appeared, intertwining and taking shape, as if he had transformed into the supreme being of all demons, the ancestor of all demons.

This is the Demon God's Seal!
The Great Sage Xuantu was also slightly surprised, not expecting that the Yuanxiang King had actually mastered this highly difficult and flawed supreme secret technique of the demon race. Moreover, it seemed that he had truly completed this divine power.

This Demon God Seal is actually similar to the Human King Seal. Both are supreme secret techniques created by the ancestors of the two races, which can elevate one's own state to the extreme, thereby unleashing unprecedented combat power.

Previously, Yuanxiang King had only used the Dragon Elephant Body. Now, he has integrated the power of the Demon God and truly used the complete Dragon Elephant Demon God Body.

Neither side dodged the attack, and the destructive divine power struck the other's body squarely.

Wuji unleashed a punch, unleashing boundless divine power that shattered half of Yuanxiang King's head. Blood, brain matter, and bone fragments flew out, embedding themselves heavily in the battle platform. The remaining divine power continued to spread towards the other half of his brain, attempting to crush his entire body.

At the same time, Yuanxiang King also punched through his chest, blood and fragments of internal organs scattered everywhere, and boundless divine power erupted, as if to tear his whole body apart.

This bloody, mutually destructive fighting style sent chills down one's spine.

However, the physical strength of these two is indeed extraordinary. After all, such an attack that could almost destroy the world could only penetrate their bodies, but could not annihilate them.

Yuanxiang King revealed a cruel smile, forcefully twisting his arm, intending to tear Wuji apart. Contrary to his usual bold and unrestrained style, countless demonic energies converged into fine, sharp claws, which began to rage wildly, tearing at Wuji's flesh, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

This is another supreme divine power of the demon race, the Heavenly Demon Claw. It gathers demonic energy into a sharp claw that combines the strengths of all demons, tearing everything apart. It is not known for its brute force, but rather for its rare delicacy and exquisite skill.

Yuanxiang King not only mastered this supernatural power, but also brought it to its fullest potential, fully demonstrating his superb ability to combine strength and gentleness.

At this moment, the five elements circulated within Wuji's chest, transforming into a large array that firmly locked Yuanxiang King's arm, rendering him unable to move. The Heavenly Demon Claw was also blocked by the five elements, and they wore each other down in a tug-of-war. This was an insight he gained from the Lingbao Tianzun scriptures.

Then, he raised his hand and unleashed a Heaven-Turning Seal, a terrifying force that seemed to overturn the heavens and earth and shatter the universe, which slammed into Yuanxiang King's chest.

Blood splattered out, Yuanxiang King's chest cavity collapsed, and he was sent flying backward.

In the fourth battle, Yuanxiang King was at a disadvantage for the first time. This attack shocked everyone present, and even the Great Sage Xuantu found it difficult to remain calm. Although he had anticipated that this might be a fierce battle, he had not expected Yuanxiang King to suffer such a heavy loss so quickly.

Life force flowed within Wuji's Sea of ​​Wheels, and his injuries continued to heal. He coldly watched Yuanxiang King and did not continue the pursuit.

Yuanxiang King staggered to his stop, his demonic energy swirling around him. He used the secret technique of the demon race, the Heavenly Demon Resurrection Technique, to completely heal his injuries.

Looking at Wuji, whose aura was even stronger than before, Yuanxiang Wang smiled coldly and said, "This is the first time someone has made me suffer such a great loss. Wuji, you should feel honored."

Even before entering the Demon Cave, he was already evenly matched with the Mad Lion King. After leaving the Demon Cave, he even defeated the Demon Ape King. It can be said that this was the only time in his life he suffered a major loss in a duel against someone of the same cultivation level.

Wuji should naturally feel proud to have made such a peerless demon suffer a setback.

Wuji chuckled and said, "Is that so? I think defeating you is nothing special, nothing to be proud of."

King Yuanxiang was not angry. He entered a state of unprecedented focus, and these emotions were long forgotten.

He said, "Wuji, you are indeed my greatest enemy. Perhaps not only here, but also on the path to enlightenment in the future."

As he spoke, all the aura within his body vanished, and then a strange divine aura began to emanate from him. His demonic energy disappeared, and he returned to his simple and unadorned state, but a more astonishing power lay dormant within him.

Wuji frowned slightly. Under his Origin Heaven Divine Eye, he saw that Yuanxiang King's body had undergone subtle changes. His primordial spirit, magic power, blood and qi, and all other powers had condensed into one, transforming into a brand new law, imprinted on every inch of his body.

This principle is equally simple and unadorned, yet it seems to be the foundation of all things.

The Great Sage Qian Yuan frowned and said, "Is this... the path to proving the Dao through force?"

The Great Sage Xuantu was also somewhat surprised. He replied, "Although I had expected it, I did not expect that he had already taken the first steps on this path."

The so-called path of proving the Dao through force is a path of cultivation born from a concept, similar to the myriad laws of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable.

This concept is that strength is the foundation of heaven and earth.

What is force? The force of Qi and blood is force, the force of the primordial spirit is force, the force of laws is also force, and even the changes in the origin of heaven, earth, the universe, and all things are force.

Force is the foundation of everything; it is omnipresent. In all the myriad realms, everything is constantly changing and in motion, and all these dynamic processes are the result of force.

By mastering force, one masters all methods and principles.

This path was conceived by the ancient sages of the demon race, but no one in the ancient primordial star has been able to complete it to this day. However, King Yuanxiang not only successfully embarked on this path, but also made initial progress.

This has practically laid the foundation for his enlightenment; he is a true young supreme being.
