Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 257 Fight
After a philosophical exchange, the six supreme beings arrived at the edge of the universe. Of course, they did not discuss private matters, nor did they reveal anything about Lingbao Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Wuji Tianzun, and others. Therefore, the Immortal Golden Body Ancestor and the Azure Heaven Overlord Body Ancestor remained unaware of how many supreme beings existed in this world.

After all, they came here only to exchange ideas and discuss principles, not to make friends. However, their discussion and exchange just now was merely a battle of wits; to truly verify the results and demonstrate their strength, they still needed to engage in a physical battle like actual combat.

The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor said, "I wonder what the rules were before, fellow Daoists? We are newcomers here, so we should naturally follow the local customs."

Ying Shenxiao laughed and said, "What rules are there? You can find whoever you want."

Chuan Ying said, "Since you two are newcomers, I think we should let you choose first, what do you say?"

The Three-Life Supreme and the Primordial Elephant King nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the Undying Golden Body Ancestor said, "Since that's the case, then I'll respectfully comply. Fellow Daoist Shenxiao, please. We've only tested each other once, and the outcome is still undecided."

Upon hearing this, Chuan Ying, San Sheng Zhi Zun, and Yuan Xiang Wang all secretly shook their heads. This young man was still too stubborn, directly choosing the most difficult challenge. After all, among the six of them, only Ying Shen Xiao had achieved the breakthrough and taken the lead because he had once lived a life in reverse.

In other words, five of them are second place, but there is only one first place. At least for now, none of them can shake Ying Shenxiao's power. Unless they also experience a reversed life, they can only hope to attain enlightenment. Over the years, they have actually challenged Ying Shenxiao more than once, but the result has always been the same.

Even if they make progress, the result will be the same. After all, the other side is also constantly improving. Moreover, Ying Shenxiao's Kunlun Immortal Blood and Kunlun Immortal Scripture are too compatible, so his growth potential might even be greater than theirs. Therefore, in the realm of alternative paths to enlightenment, it's probably difficult for anyone to compare with Ying Shenxiao. This is the result of the combined effects of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

Ying Shenxiao wasn't complacent about this, after all, he had personally witnessed Liang Yu's glory, and this achievement was nothing. Therefore, he smiled and said, "Alright, then I will finish this unfinished battle with you, fellow Daoist."

Seeing that the Undying Golden Body Ancestor had already identified his target, the Overlord Body Ancestor did not hesitate for long and said, "I have already sparred with Fellow Daoist Chuan Ying, so, Fellow Daoist Yuan Xiang, please."

Unlike the Undying Golden Body Ancestor, whose heart was filled with pure fighting spirit, the Overlord Body Ancestor actually harbored some other intentions. Both of them were, to some extent, half-successors of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, so choosing the Primordial Heavenly Lord's former opponent was quite meaningful.

After his advanced studies on Jade Flower Divine Island, Yuan Xiangwang's previously smooth and unrestrained aura began to become somewhat wild and unrestrained again. This was because he had recently made some progress in the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture, but had not yet fully and meticulously digested it. Therefore, his current aura was like that of a true wild and ferocious beast. Although he was just a seemingly thin and weak young man, he gave people the feeling of facing a behemoth.

Upon hearing this, he smiled brightly: "Alright, then I'll meet you, my new fellow Daoist."

Seeing that the others had already confirmed, Chuanying said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Sansheng, it seems that only the two of us have come."

The Supreme Being of Three Lives said leisurely, "Perfect timing, I also have a newly created divine ability, I just need to give it a try."

The six supreme beings were divided into three groups and each began to fight.

The Undying Golden Body Ancestor still activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, but this time his aura was incredibly refined. Only a faint golden divine radiance covered his entire body. Although his blood and qi were restrained, their flow was still vast and boundless. Six runes appeared on his fist, as if representing the six realms of reincarnation. Ying Shenxiao also shifted his aura. His previous ethereal, otherworldly aura vanished, and he activated the Kunlun Divine Fist to engage the Undying Golden Body Ancestor in close combat. His blood and qi were as vast and refined as a true dragon, and every movement he made resembled that of a fighting saint, domineering and ferocious.

Of course, this was also Ying Shenxiao taking care of the newcomer. The progenitor of the Undying Golden Body was most skilled in close combat, while Ying Shenxiao, though not weak in it, wasn't strongest either. Therefore, the gap between the two had narrowed somewhat.

As their fists and feet clashed, countless terrifying shockwaves spread out, causing the universe and starry sky to tremble.

Seeing that the two were already locked in a fierce battle, Yuanxiang King's blood surged, and his thin body seemed to contain countless primordial beasts, ready to devour anyone. But then he was unified by the power of his power, condensing it into one with his primordial spirit, Dao techniques, and all other powers, transforming it into pure force.

The Primordial Overlord also clenched his fist, and purple blood energy soared into the sky, overflowing with domineering aura, as if he wanted to manipulate and change all the laws of heaven and earth at will, making them resemble himself.

He activated his Overlord Body Ancestral Form, transforming into an unparalleled battle body that combined the advantages of a dragon's head, a snake's tail, a white tiger's claws, phoenix wings, a qilin's armor, and a black tortoise's back. He clenched his overlord fist, unleashing his full power without reservation.

The two sides immediately engaged in fierce combat, as if facing a mortal enemy, directly engaging in the most dangerous close combat, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Seeing this, Chuan Ying couldn't help but say, "Not bad, not bad. We should fight him again if we have the chance. He actually had such a trick up his sleeve? I wonder if I could use my Invincible War God Body to decide the outcome before I can't withstand it anymore?"

The Supreme Being of Three Lives laughed and said, "You should think about how to deal with my Three Incarnations Reincarnation Body first."

Chuan Ying collected his thoughts, and a pure fighting spirit surged forth. The qi, laws, supernatural powers, and Dao fruits within his body seemed to boil, igniting a blood-red flame on his surface. His aura also seemed to rise without end.

This is the Invincible War God Body, a secret technique that uses battle intent as the primary driver, burning all of one's own power to unleash even greater strength in a short period. However, maintaining it for an extended period may result in damage to one's fundamental Dao.

The Three Lives Supreme also changed his aura, with countless mysterious runes intertwining on his body, radiating a dark and yin energy. Then, this dark and yin energy intertwined with his blood and qi, together forming a divine ring within his body.

This is precisely the Three-Life Reincarnation Body he created based on the Netherworld Scripture. Its secret lies in its ability to mobilize the power of the deceased self and the true self, connecting them with the power of reincarnation, so that the true self, the deceased self, and the true self can be transformed into the present, past, and future three lifetimes, thereby achieving the continuous switching of the three bodies and keeping oneself in a peak state at all times.

After all, the injuries inflicted on the true self during battle can be fully recovered during the time when the departed self and the Dao self take turns fighting. By rotating back and forth in this way, it can be ensured that at any moment there is a "self" fighting, a "self" recovering, and a "self" ready to step in at any time.

In other words, this is a divine power that excels particularly in prolonged battles. It is precisely the kind of undefeated war god body that Chuan Ying possesses, capable of quick and decisive victories.

In the end, only Ying Shenxiao emerged victorious, while the other two groups remained evenly matched. They agreed to meet once every thousand years to take turns battling to verify their results, until the day they began to seal themselves away.
