Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 347 The Vajra Bracelet Displays its Power

As the phantom of the ancient Buddha appeared, Qibao Ridge was completely transformed. It was no longer the sacred mountain and treasure land it once was, but had turned into a lotus platform.

Then, the phantom began to dissipate, turning into countless points of light that sank into the seven-colored lotus platform. There, the Buddha's light flickered, and the lotus platform twisted and changed again, transforming into a treasure ship that slowly rose into the air.

Although this treasure ship is only the size of a floating island, it contains the great power to contain Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed. Within this treasure ship, three thousand worlds faintly revolve, boundless and limitless, seemingly capable of encompassing the starry sea and the universe.

Although this treasure ship is not an ultimate divine weapon, its aura is incredibly powerful, and there seems to be an ultimate aura faintly emerging at its core.

Surrounded by countless divine lights, a chaotic chorus of chanting emanated from within. These sounds gradually became unified, striking directly at the heart and dissipating much of the boundless resentment hidden within this ancient star. Countless cultivators thus experienced a greater clarity and fulfillment of their minds, as if some shackle had been removed, bringing a sense of relief.

Clearly, all the problems of this ancient star originated from this place. After the Celestial Venerable of Morality activated it, all life on this ancient star began to eliminate external influences and return to normalcy, just like the outside world.

However, the ship soon trembled, its divine light vanished, and its true form was revealed. Due to the vast amount of time that had passed, the ship's hull was covered with countless cracks and holes, and even many of the intricate array patterns within it had dissipated and broken, no longer perfectly intact.

Upon closer inspection, one could faintly discern the aura of the three Great Sages lingering on one side of the ship's hull. Clearly, they had entered the ship through a relatively minor breach and gained some benefits.

This series of changes alarmed a few cultivators on this ancient star, and even in this star field and in more distant places.

Although the treasure ship restored the other life forms on the ancient star to their normal sanity, it had little impact on them. After all, they had already obtained some Buddhist teachings within the treasure, using them to escape these problems and glimpse some of its secrets.

That is why these three Great Sages could hardly suppress their anger at this moment.

After all, this treasure was originally intended for only the three of them to explore. Now, they will have to compete with cultivators from countless other regions. Even with their first-mover advantage, it's hard to guarantee how much benefit they will gain.

The Golden Lion Great Sage could no longer contain himself and immediately roared, "How dare you ruin our plans! Die!"

Enraged, the Golden Lion Great Sage unleashed a series of powerful roars like a tsunami, instantly changing the weather, shattering mountains and rivers, and causing the earth to tremble.

This is the Lion's Roar of the Golden Lion Great Sage. He used this method to kill countless cultivators in the past. It is an extremely terrifying divine power.

A primordial aura enveloped the black ox's body, instantly isolating it from the sonic boom. His tiny body bobbed and sank in the giant waves, displaying a natural and unrestrained spirit, as if he were a gentle breeze caressing the mountainside, regardless of the strength of the waves.

Of course, this only looks easy. In fact, the Black Bull's body was still cracked by this great divine power, with fine wounds appearing inside, but they were not too obvious.

Golden Roc Great Sage said, "Brother, we should either join forces to kill him quickly, or we should immediately go inside this treasure ship to explore. You decide, and your second brother and I will listen to you."

The Golden Lion Great Sage said, "Let's fight. I can't quell my hatred until this person is eliminated. However, just in case, if we can't finish this quickly, we'll leave immediately. This person's accomplice was able to activate this treasure, which may pose a great threat to us."

Immediately, the three Great Sages no longer concealed their auras. The Golden Lion Great Sage formed the Fearless Lion Seal, and instantly, a burst of Buddhist light appeared, manifesting supreme divine power to subdue demons, eliminate evil, and ward off disasters. Behind him, a Bodhisattva faintly appeared, but their faces were blurred and difficult to see clearly.

Not to be outdone, the White Elephant Great Sage formed the Five Peaks Seal, also unleashing boundless Buddhist light, his body as clear as crystal, radiating a faint divine glow. The Golden Roc Great Sage also formed the Immovable King Seal, manifesting a King's image behind him, and attacked the Black Bull. Under the combined attack of these three, the Black Bull immediately knew that even having advanced to the Great Sage level, he would find it difficult to withstand such an offensive.

He immediately slapped his forehead, and two streams of pure energy shot out, transforming into two avatars identical to himself. In this way, the scene instantly became three against three, with the six people gathered together for a fierce battle.

Since Black Bull had already used one Pure Qi Avatar, he could only release two avatars in a short time.

Although the three of them were powerful, they were ultimately unable to defeat Black Bull quickly, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Seeing that the battle had dragged on without a clear victor, the Golden Roc Great Sage made a decisive decision: "Brother, the treasure has already appeared, and they are all rushing over here. We can't continue fighting. Let's go."

Black Bull laughed loudly, "What? You three ganged up on us, and now you think you can get away so easily? Dream on!"

The Great Sage White Elephant said, "Don't push your luck! The treasure is right in front of us, and we're the closest to it. Why would you risk losing such a great benefit for the sake of a moment of pride?"

Upon hearing this, Black Bull's attack intensified. He laughed arrogantly, "You have been exploring this place for a long time and must have a good understanding of it. If I let you go in first, how can we compete for the treasure?"

The Golden Lion Great Sage roared, "Bull God King! Don't push your luck!"

Black Bull said, "So what if I bully you?"

The Great Sage Golden Roc exclaimed, "Oh no! He's buying time for his companion!"

Sensing the approaching auras of other Great Sages, and even the apparent arrival of a Quasi-Emperor from beyond the heavens, the three Great Sages finally couldn't hold back any longer.

The Golden Lion Great Sage took out a quasi-royal weapon, which was a precious pearl that emitted boundless divine light. However, this pearl was severely damaged and could not be used more than a few times.

Although the Golden Lion Great Sage was filled with anger and regret, he still unhesitatingly urged the precious pearl to strike the Black Bull. The pearl continued to expand, becoming as majestic as a star, seemingly containing the birth and death of the twenty-four heavens, as if it could crush everything and turn all things into dust.

Black Bull laughed loudly, "Well done!"

He immediately removed the bright silver diamond bracelet from his arm and gently tossed it into the air. Instantly, the bracelet grew longer in the wind, becoming even larger than the precious pearl in the blink of an eye.

Although no special aura appeared, the pearl silently disappeared into the bracelet, leaving no trace of its presence, as if the bracelet contained an infinite world.

The three Great Sages were immediately shocked. What kind of secret treasure was this? Could it be another secret artifact like the Purple Gold Red Gourd? Was one used to capture people and the other to capture treasures?
