Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 343 The Ox God King

After grasping the Vajra Bracelet in his hand, Black Bull immediately felt his back straighten up. Although the Vajra Bracelet at this moment was restrained in its spiritual aura and was almost an ordinary object with nothing unusual except for its excellent appearance, based on his long-standing impression of the Celestial Venerable of Morality and his own intuition, he was enough to determine that it must be a great treasure.

Black Bull didn't know the specific level of this Vajra Bracelet, and because its materials were all synthesized by the Celestial Venerable of Morality and did not belong to any kind of immortal metal, he couldn't even tell what the material was.

But something that even a Saint King peak cultivator nearing the Great Saint realm couldn't see through must be extraordinary. After all, it couldn't possibly be just an ordinary object.

It's perfectly normal that Black Bull couldn't identify the Vajra Bracelet. After all, if a celestial artifact wanted to conceal its aura, it wouldn't be something a cultivator of his level could detect.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Morality had already revealed the name of the Vajra Bracelet, not all cultivators knew about the Celestial Venerable of Morality's creation of the Vajra Bracelet, since that was something that happened in his third incarnation.

Although all the black bulls knew the name of this thing, they still did not associate it with the Moral God.

However, if this unfathomable master believes that this item can be used for self-defense, and even knowing the general situation of the other party, he still believes that this item can help him to be invincible, then it must be something extraordinary.

Full of confidence, the black ox immediately put the Vajra Bracelet on its arm, plucked a hair from its body, and transformed it into a black ox to continue carrying the Moral Celestial Venerable on its back.

His true form took the lead, clearing the way for the Celestial Venerable of Morality. He unleashed his immense and powerful aura without restraint, like a primordial beast roaming the earth. The forest fell silent instantly.

Under his aura, all living beings, whether strong or weak, and whether they were spiritual cultivators or not, were intimidated by his power and dared not make the slightest sound, lest they suffer a fatal disaster.

For this reason, the roads he passed through were mostly smooth and unobstructed, without a trace of demonic energy, let alone any real demons or cultivators of other races.

As they walked, Black Bull asked, "Master, isn't it a bit too arrogant of us to just walk straight into their core cave like this?"

The Supreme Lord of Morality said, “It’s alright. They have already sensed your presence, but they haven’t come out to stop you directly. It’s clear that they are temporarily held back by some important matter.”

Black Ox said, "What the master said is true. No matter which race the cultivators on this ancient star are from, they will immediately intercept and kill us when they see us entering their territory uninvited and in a grand manner. Otherwise, they will be targeted by a coalition for acting weakly."

"But there are clearly three Great Sages here. Any one of them could stop me, yet they remain silent. They must be doing something big."

So they continued onward. Although the mountain range was incredibly vast, the black bull quickly traversed the outer mountains and arrived at its core.

Unlike the gentle breeze outside, upon entering this place, Black Bull felt a heavy, sticky, and malevolent wind rushing towards him. He could even faintly smell a foul, nauseating odor.

Within this core area, the presence of cultivators was significantly greater. Of course, they weren't all demons; many other races were also present, even humans. Their diverse auras converged at one point, perhaps the entrance to the core cave dwelling.

Upon entering this area, Black Bull's brow furrowed deeply. Beneath this vast, seemingly endless land lay countless bones and remains. Even deep underground, the astonishing aura of death emanating from it was palpable. Moreover, as they ventured deeper, these objects multiplied, eventually accumulating on the surface rather than remaining buried underground.

Finally, they approached the cave where the three great saints were located.

The vast area surrounding this mountain peak has become a living hell. Countless skeletons have piled up into mountains, and flesh has rotted into mud everywhere. The once precious land has been completely covered by bones, and its original appearance is no longer visible.

Countless fierce-looking cultivators from various races gathered here, each carrying an intense, irresistible stench of blood. They all exerted their utmost effort to display their full power, and in a daze, Black Bull felt as if he were seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Of course, despite their current arrogant demeanor, they are actually terrified. None of the three Great Sages have stepped forward to take charge; if this ferocious god were to make a move, they would be doomed.

But abandoning this place and running away won't work either. The three Great Sages will have to leave the pass sooner or later. If they abandon their posts, then the only chance of survival will be to escape this ancient star overnight.

Caught in a dilemma, they could only choose the lesser of two evils. After all, the legendary Bull God King, who supposedly shattered half an ancient star, was always kind-hearted and rarely did anything to destroy mountains or caves, while their own three Great Sages were absolutely ferocious gods, without a shred of mercy.

Even if they fell into the hands of the Ox God King, they might not survive, but at least they could die a quick death; however, if they fell into the hands of the three of them, they would be in a situation where they could neither live nor die. Therefore, despite their fear, they still chose to confront the Ox God King directly.

Black Bull slammed his spear down, unleashing a torrent of power like a tsunami, instantly shattering the combined aura of countless cultivators. He single-handedly overwhelmed this seemingly endless group of cultivators.

Seeing that they were all terrified, he said loudly, "Are you all too tired to live, blocking my way?"

At this moment, a leopard demon of the high-ranking Saint level stepped forward and said, "Wearing dark blue divine iron armor and wielding a twelve-foot steel spear, could you be the legendary Bull God King, renowned throughout the land and intimidating across the ten domains?"

Black Ox said, "So you know my reputation, huh? You still dare to block my way? You think you can stop me, Old Ox, from all this?

The leopard demon hurriedly said, "No, no, we just happened to be practicing here, and we had absolutely no intention of disrespecting the Ox God King. But may I ask what brings you here?"

Black Bull said, "I think this place has beautiful scenery and is a treasure land created by heaven and earth. I want to go in and explore it. Why, is that not allowed?"

The leopard demon said, "To be honest, this place is already the cave dwelling of my three kings. If you wish to enter, please allow us to inform the three kings before making any plans."

Black Bull chuckled coldly, "I haven't seen anyone come here on my way here. I thought this place was unclaimed. So it turns out this place is owned."

"Then tell me, who are these three kings of your family? And how did they seize this place?"
