Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 74: One Punch, One Supreme
"All laws lead to heaven, all laws lead to heaven, good, good, good. Wuji, you are indeed exceptionally talented. If you live to the next life, you might be able to transform into a completely new physique just like the Celestial Venerable of Morality, right?" Faced with this crisis, Zhulong remained calm.

The supernatural power that Liang Yu had just displayed was not merely a supernatural power; it also contained a secret that could grant him a new life. From this, Zhulong deduced that Liang Yu had pushed his Dao to a new level, condensing an unimaginable Dao fruit.

Liang Yu said, "Actually, I could have transformed long ago, but I'm afraid that if I were to live out my third life, you would never dare to come looking for me again, so I haven't started yet."

Zhulong sighed, "You are truly the most terrifying person I have ever met in my life."

At this moment, the five supreme beings of the Divine Ruins, seeing the situation was unfavorable, immediately chose to withdraw from the battlefield. Since even the Kunlun Immortal Formation could not defeat Liang Yu, they became the weakest party present. The aftershocks of the battles between the other two sides were enough to overwhelm them, let alone participate in the fighting.

They've already made a huge profit by acquiring the Desolate Tower. Liang Yu and the supreme beings in the Kunlun Immortal Array are now locked in a life-or-death struggle. If they can seize this opportunity to escape into the vast universe, they can use the Desolate Tower to conceal the secrets of heaven. Thus, regardless of which side wins, they'll both gain a Desolate Tower.

So what if we hide for tens of thousands of years? What's there to be afraid of? We Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone are masters of self-sealing and slumber, okay? We've already severed our own Supreme status, why risk our lives? How can we become immortals if we're fighting so desperately?

But Liang Yu certainly wouldn't let them leave like that. Clearly, while Zhulong didn't have a deep relationship with them, he would never allow Liang Yu to kill them and reclaim the Desolate Tower.

Liang Yu formed hand seals, drawing upon the power of the Great Dao. Countless law runes appeared, seemingly connecting the Three Realms and Six Paths, evolving from the past to the future.

The space between heaven and earth and the four directions is called the universe, and the past and present are called the cosmos.

Liang Yu's Cosmic Seal technique encompassed both space and time, transforming into an unbreakable cage that imprisoned both the Candle Dragon and the Immortal Bell within. This divine power also contained the ancient scripture from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, which deduced the Immortal Realm. This meant that although the Cosmic Cage was only temporarily created by the divine power, it still possessed a faint sense of immortality.

Then, eight divine lights shot out from his body, revealing seven pagodas and a dragon-headed Dao stele. These were the seven pagodas and the Boundless Dao Stele that Liang Yu had crafted.

With a wave of his hand, Liang Yu sent out an array diagram that was very similar to the Secret of Combining Characters, but with some modifications. It absorbed the eight supreme divine weapons into it, forming a large array.

Of course, this grand formation is still inferior to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. The reason why the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is so powerful is that it is not only a formation diagram containing the highest mystery of character formation, but also a supreme treasure.

This array was merely a manifestation of Liang Yu's divine power, so it wouldn't last very long. However, after combining with Liang Yu's Cosmic Seal divine power, it could still trap the Kunlun Immortal Body for a moment.

Liang Yu stepped forward to catch up, and the five supreme beings of the Divine Ruins were greatly alarmed. They hurriedly activated the Heavenly Net to trap Liang Yu.

The laws and divine runes intertwined into chains, tightly binding Liang Yu's body, almost turning him into a rice dumpling.

Liang Yu laughed and said, "This Heavenly Net is indeed extraordinary, being one of the ancient Heavenly Court's inherited secret artifacts. But unfortunately, even the myriad paths of the universe cannot bind me, let alone a broken ancient artifact."

He was radiating countless sword lights, each one delicate and subtle, as if it could sever the secrets of heaven and strike with deadly accuracy.

This is the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique from Lingbao Tianzun. After being amazed by that sword strike that day, Liang Yu spent a lot of time specifically studying this move.

However, his style is quite different from that of Lingbao Tianzun. Lingbao Tianzun's sword strike is simple and direct, pointing straight to the heart, but Liang Yu makes the sword light incredibly detailed, using it to cut and destroy the opponent's body and supernatural powers at the most microscopic level.

Therefore, Liang Yu named this move "Dao Jie".

If someone possessed a sufficiently powerful divine eye at this moment, they could see that these extremely subtle sword lights penetrated into every corner of these chains, simultaneously severing the connections between each segment of law and each rune, causing them to completely collapse and disintegrate.

Soon, the chains dissipated, turning into specks of divine light and disappearing into the world.

Liang Yu retrieved the Heavenly Net he had left behind. This ancient artifact was almost completely damaged and would disappear after only two or three uses at most. However, for Liang Yu, the artifact itself was unimportant; the grand formation within was what mattered. As long as they could decipher its secrets, he himself could unleash the Heavenly Net's divine power. By absorbing the secrets of this ancient formation, perhaps his original Heaven-Sealing Divine Seal could be further enhanced.

However, for now, Liang Yu should first pursue those five supreme beings. During this lifetime, Liang Yu had already made certain modifications to the other seven secrets to better suit himself, and the Xingzi Secret was no exception.

Although it was due to the suppression of strength and realm, the speed of the Carefree Celestial Venerable was indeed inferior to his. Therefore, Liang Yu quickly intercepted their path.

The five supreme beings exchanged a glance, knowing that they would have no chance of escaping today.

Jidu Supreme said, "We are the descendants of the ancient Heavenly Court, and it is only right and proper for us to take back the desolate tower."

Liang Yu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. He said, "You've only obtained a portion of the ancient Heavenly Court's inheritance, yet you dare call yourself a remnant? Make your move, I'm in a hurry."

The five supreme beings exchanged a glance, and simultaneously reached their ultimate sublimation, with five supreme auras soaring into the sky.

They joined forces and attacked Liang Yu, displaying a variety of strange phenomena and unleashing an astonishing momentum.

Liang Yu's body shimmered with protective divine light, and Daoist chants surged within him, countless different recitations converging into a grand ancient scripture. At this moment, Liang Yu seemed to be the originator of all laws and the ancestor of all paths.

Countless divine lights flowed across his body, combining with the ever-changing runes within him to form a constantly evolving protective divine light. Regardless of the attack, this divine light would automatically adjust to counteract the opponent's most effective supernatural power.

The attacks of the five supreme beings could only cause ripples when they landed on this invulnerable divine light, and were almost instantly and completely neutralized.

Liang Yuhua transformed his seal into a fist and unleashed a Heaven-Turning Seal, concentrating all his power on the Demon Flower Supreme. This punch brought down unparalleled force, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in, turning everything to dust.

In an instant, blood splattered, and the Demon Flower Supreme collapsed helplessly in the void. His body began to disintegrate little by little, starting with his right hand, which shattered first.

The Demon Flower Supreme struggled, constantly sprouting vines and roots within his body in an attempt to regrow, but then a mark heavily pressed down on his body, causing it to disintegrate. That was Liang Yu's Great Dao Mark.

Finally, he let out a miserable cry as Liang Yu's mark completely annihilated his life force and primordial spirit. A burst of Dao fire then blazed up, turning all the remains left behind by the Demon Flower Supreme into ashes.

The other four supreme beings felt a chill run down their spines. Was this even human?

One punch, just one punch, and a Supreme Being was killed instantly. And judging from this, even at their peak, they probably couldn't withstand this attack.

The Demon Flower Supreme's true form is a devil vine, existing somewhere between an animal and a plant. It craves blood, and its flowers are its feeding mouths. However, it can also draw upon the essence of the earth through its extensive root system.

This kind of extraordinary path to enlightenment possesses extremely vigorous vitality. Yet, he was still instantly killed in one move, which means that the vast majority of those who attain enlightenment would not escape death under this attack.

Those were invincible figures who dominated an era and whose descendants would never be able to surpass them even after death. How could they be instantly killed by someone else?

Is the Supreme Celestial Venerable about to become an immortal? He is truly invincible.
