Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 222: God Burial Seal
At this moment, the Carefree Celestial Venerable was indeed more focused than ever before. Now, he only had Liang Yu in his eyes, all the distracting thoughts in his heart disappeared, and he even disregarded life and death. All he had was that pure fighting spirit.

In this state of mind, the Carefree Celestial Venerable felt incredibly excited. Even though he had just completed his transformation and gained power far exceeding his previous abilities, he still needed no adjustment or adaptation. All power and laws were at his fingertips, perfectly at his command. He seemed to naturally reach a state of unparalleled glory.

Throughout his life, the Carefree Celestial had never encountered such a powerful opponent, nor had he ever felt such immense pressure that it suffocated him. He had always maintained an invincible spirit against all his previous adversaries, confident that he would never lose.

Looking back, even in his last battle before attaining enlightenment, when he faced the divine being who later founded the God Race, he defeated his opponent with an invincible spirit and ultimately ascended to the highest position in that era.

But today, even if he risked his life, he had little chance of winning. It could be said that Liang Yu was the first opponent so far that required the Celestial Venerable of Freedom to confront as a challenger.

However, this is a very subtle matter. After all, the Dao attainment of the carefree Celestial Venerable in the past was achieved by defeating a divine body, thus becoming invincible for an era; and now, as he is about to reach the end of his life, he is about to challenge the Limitless Celestial Venerable, who was originally a divine body.

The former later attained enlightenment through an unorthodox path. He foresaw that the future would inevitably see a situation of conflict among all races, so he founded the God Race and set forth the great cause of the God Race developing independently into a distinct race.

Since he couldn't defeat the Carefree Celestial Venerable to become the one who attained enlightenment in this world and complete his supreme achievement, he decided to create an immortal divine race so that future generations could continue his immortal legacy. However, he died before he could achieve this. Even so, he remains the progenitor of the divine race.

The latter, Liang Yu, personally ended the divine race's attempt to establish itself independently using the Transformation Mystic Technique and the Transformation Divine Scripture, forcing them to transform into the True Profound Divine Dynasty. Furthermore, no cultivation technique within the Divine Body lineage surpasses the Transformation Divine Scripture; the upper limit of the Divine Body was also raised two levels by Liang Yu, achieving the Divine Emperor Body and the Supreme Divine Blood. In other words, Liang Yu can actually be considered the ancestor of the Divine Blood lineage.

The Carefree Celestial Venerable attained enlightenment by defeating the ancestral god of the divine race, and now he must contend with the ancestral gods of all divine bloodlines, bringing his life to a close. Perhaps this is a wondrous destiny. Although Liang Yu is no longer a divine being at this point.

Liang Yu sighed softly, "You already know how vast this world is, far beyond the mortal universe and the immortal realm, so you should guess that there will always be unimaginably powerful beings in this world. Are you going to treat them all as opponents and enemies? Constantly surpassing yourself and walking your own path is the right way."

Liang Yu felt somewhat helpless. The previous cultivator of the Time Law, Zhulong, also lost his composure under his provocation and ultimately died a very undignified death. Now, another cultivator of the Time Law, Xiaoyao Tianzun, has also begun to take risks under his provocation, even resorting to the power of darkness, and has embarked on a path of no return.

Moreover, these two individuals, one an enemy and the other a fellow Daoist, had completely opposite relationships with him, yet they still embarked on similar paths. Although the Carefree Celestial Venerable acted on a larger scale and displayed more outstanding performance, he ultimately began to go to extremes under an unhealthy mindset.

Could it be that he is inherently incompatible with the laws of time?

The carefree Celestial Venerable remained unmoved: "Wuji, I have become another race, incompatible with this human universe, and the greatest enemy in your eyes. Now that I have entered the demonic path, there is no turning back."

Liang Yu sighed, “Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to. You are not yet so deeply entangled. If we study this together, we may be able to cleanse the dark forces.”

The carefree Celestial Venerable activated his qi and blood, and in an instant, his heart pounded like a great bell, shaking the entire universe; his blood flowed like a mighty river, causing the void to ripple as if it had been impacted.

He declared loudly, "I once told you that I highly value the saying 'Life is like a game of chess, once a move is made, there's no going back.' Therefore, you need not say more; my mind is made up." "Please, Supreme Heavenly Venerable, enlighten me!"

Seeing that the Celestial Venerable of Freedom was resolute and unwavering, Liang Yu shook his head and said, "In that case, let's exchange a few moves."

The Carefree Celestial said, "To avoid distracting you, shall we go to the ancient battlefield beyond the heavens?"

Liang Yu said, "No need, let's just stay here."

The Carefree Celestial Venerable said, "Aren't you afraid that our battle will damage other life-bearing planets?"

Liang Yu said, "Don't worry, it won't harm the outside world."

As he spoke, ten pagodas flew out from Liang Yu's body, each guarding a different direction. Countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes and Array Runes intertwined and emerged, forming an extremely complex array that seemed to be evolving into an independent world. This array enveloped the Carefree Celestial Venerable and Liang Yu, creating an extremely stable temporary battlefield. Although Liang Yu had personally set it up, he deliberately did not provide any enhancement to himself.

This grand formation is naturally closely related to the methods of Earth Immortals. It is one of the results of Liang Yu's research on the ancient scripture of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, which describes the evolution of the Immortal Realm, and his research on the evolution of the Earth Immortal Blessed Land.

Using Origin Techniques and Array Patterns as support, Liang Yu refined this achievement, ultimately forming this temporary mini-world that could almost exist independently. Within this grand array, the space of this realm was reinforced; while it didn't affect their battle, it reduced the damage to the outside world.

Seeing that Liang Yu had no intention of using the immortal artifact, the Carefree Celestial Venerable showed no anger at being looked down upon. He closed his eyes, sensed the laws of heaven and earth within the great formation, and familiarized himself with the area. Then, the Carefree Celestial Venerable made his move.

The original Xiaoyao Tianzun relied on speed to win, with swift, ruthless, and precise attacks that often overwhelmed opponents, catching them off guard. Once they reacted and began to adapt to this offensive, Xiaoyao Tianzun would then begin to move around at incredible speed, leaving his opponents unable to anticipate his moves or cope with them.

But the current Celestial Venerable of Freedom is acting out of character, choosing to unleash a powerful punch head-on, his blood and qi surging like a celestial river hanging upside down. Boundless divine light erupts from his fist, faintly forming the shape of nine dragons pulling a coffin, as if it could bury the heavens and destroy all worlds.

This is a new divine power created by the Carefree Celestial Venerable after absorbing a large amount of the primordial essence of the heavens, the Burial Heaven Divine Seal. Although it takes the primordial laws of the heavens of the wondrous land as its core, it also incorporates the half of the Primordial Immortal Scripture that he has mastered, and even the mysteries within the Great Dao Immortal Seals of the dozens of supreme beings.

These laws were all forged into one during the transformation of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, forming this supreme secret technique.
