Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 205 Accident
When the aura of the heavens was revealed, Liang Yu sensed that it had actually arrived near the Heavenly Abyss. Perhaps, these two forbidden zones had completely united, which explained this. However, whatever their plans, they were unlikely to cause any significant trouble for Liang Yu.

After all, no matter how strong they are, can they compare to the Kunlun Immortal Body created by Zhulong back then? That was the result of ten supreme beings uniting as one based on the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and they also wielded immortal bells. They even joined forces with the five supreme beings of the Divine Ruins to seal the Desolate Tower. But even with such a configuration, they were easily defeated by Liang Yu in his second life, and now he is in his fourth life.

Tianyuan and Shangcang together have less than ten Supreme Beings. Even if they have such methods, they do not have the Immortal Bell, while Liang Yu is far stronger than before.

Furthermore, since the two forbidden zones, Tianyuan and Shangcang, were now gathered in one place, Liang Yu didn't even need to use his Dao Wo Shen and Shi Wo Shen techniques; he could eliminate both zones single-handedly. This saved him a lot of effort.

Moreover, Liang Yu and the five others—Yuanshi Tianzun, Mingzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun—could finish the battle quickly. Destroying five or six supreme beings within a forbidden zone wouldn't be difficult for them. After all, a Heavenly Emperor level being could easily crush or even instantly kill a sublimated supreme being, and some of them at this moment were not even ordinary Heavenly Emperor level beings.

Yuanshi Tianzun was a true Heavenly Emperor. Although his Myriad Origin Cauldron had not yet become a Celestial Artifact, he was by no means weaker than the Emperor of the original timeline. Referring to Ye Fan, who was a Heavenly Emperor in later generations, he could kill a Supreme Being with a single punch in his second life. Even in his later years, he could still kill seven Supreme Beings in succession with a completely overwhelming force. Even the Celestial Artifact Tongtian Mingbao could not stop him.

Therefore, even if Yuanshi Tianzun is the weakest among them at this moment, he can still pass through a forbidden area without taking any damage.

As for the others, through his collaboration with Liang Yu, the Underworld Lord not only achieved a level of cultivation stronger than in the original timeline, becoming a true Heavenly Emperor, but his Origin Technique also reached the level of a Heavenly Lord, equivalent to a Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, the Underworld Lord at this time was actually a Heavenly Emperor with two Dao Fruits.

Both Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun are now in their fifth incarnation. Daode Tianzun reached the Heavenly Emperor level in his fourth incarnation by transforming into the Supreme Immortal Body. Although Lingbao Tianzun spent most of his fourth incarnation fighting against the Dark Primordial Spirit, he also developed the Intercepting Heaven Sword Technique, thus also reaching the Heavenly Emperor level. Their fifth incarnations will only be more powerful.

As for Liang Yu, he was already at the Heavenly Emperor level in his second life, and now he is in his fourth, so there's no need to say more. Therefore, they can win very easily.

While neither the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable nor the Prison Suppressor Emperor have yet reached the fifth stage of Earth Immortals, they possess the strength of quasi-Heavenly Emperors, though they struggle to fully utilize it. Of course, the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable is still stronger than the Prison Suppressor Emperor.

Even if they can't unleash their full power, with the Bronze Immortal Palace and the Boundless Dao Stele, two immortal artifacts, they can directly suppress and kill those two forbidden zones even if they refuse to be recruited. It will only take a little effort.

As for the group of self-severed Supremes from the Primordial Ancient Mine, Liang Yu was naturally at ease. They were wielding immortal artifacts and had returned to their peak through the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Even if they couldn't kill their opponents, they could at least wear them down until Liang Yu and the others could free up their hands.

The four who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means, including Ying Shenxiao, are relatively weaker, but with the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and the Immortal Artifact Bell, they should be able to wear down their opponents.

Therefore, Liang Yu's arrangement can certainly guarantee the complete eradication of these ten forbidden zones. There might even be a surplus. After all, the five of them are already far too many.

Under Liang Yu's arrangement, the individuals involved already knew their target, so they quickly headed to their destination to begin suppressing the forbidden zone. Of course, Liang Yu's plan also benefited from the paranoia of these forbidden zone rulers, as they maintained a distance from each other and were unaware of each other's whereabouts, communicating only through the self-destructible Heavenly Secret Slip, with no other interaction.

They were afraid that Liang Yu would come knocking on their door, destroying one restricted area and then dragging out the others as well. But now, their actions have actually made it easier for Liang Yu and his allies to defeat them one by one.

Of course, if these dozens of supreme beings were to gather together, the outcome would be roughly the same. At that time, these five supreme celestial beings would directly have Lingbao Celestial Venerable as the core to manipulate the array patterns, forming an ultimate enhanced version of the Character Formation Secret Array to jointly suppress you. Even a true immortal would have to obediently be suppressed and killed.

Theoretically speaking, they were now completely safe. But for some reason, Liang Yu suddenly felt a slight unease, a sudden thought forming in his mind. What was going on? He had felt something amiss before the great battle; could there be a change in the plan?
Liang Yu racked his brains but still couldn't figure out where he might have made a mistake. However, he quickly calmed himself down. Since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it. With their current strength, even if there was something unexpected, they could fix it in time.

Moreover, neither he nor the Celestial Venerable of Morality had used their clones yet; these were reserve forces they had left behind to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

As he traveled and pondered, Liang Yu suddenly sensed something was amiss. Although he was some distance from the heavens and the abyss, to him now, the endless starry sky was but a fleeting moment.

But in that brief instant, the supreme aura surging from the heavens and the abyss diminished. Moreover, this wasn't because the supreme being concealed his aura, but because he had perished. Even across the endless starry sky, Liang Yu could still sense the unique aura of the Great Dao turbulence caused by the death of the supreme being.

What's going on? Are they fighting amongst themselves?
However, although Liang Yu had some doubts, he didn't take it too seriously and continued towards his destination. After all, it didn't really affect the overall situation.

But at that moment, a second unexpected event occurred. A stream of primordial yellow energy pierced through the endless void, arriving before Liang Yu via spatial teleportation. It was none other than the Primordial Yellow Banner of the Primordial Yellow Supreme.

Liang Yu was slightly taken aback, then grabbed the Xuanhuang Flag and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, is there anything I can help you with?"

The divine sense of the Supreme Xuanhuang manifested from within, and he said with slight anxiety, "Great Heavenly Venerable, we recuperated for several years after consuming the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, and only emerged from seclusion before setting off. But at this time, we discovered that one person was missing from the Primordial Ancient Mine."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu had a vague sense of unease. He asked in a deep voice, "Who's missing?"

"The Carefree Celestial Venerable".
