Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 348 Bracelet Master, Save Me
Black Bull laughed loudly, "Do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? Try them out again!"

Witnessing the wondrous nature of the Vajra Bracelet, he was deeply shaken. Even a quasi-Emperor level divine weapon couldn't pose the slightest threat to it; could this be an ultimate Emperor-level weapon? After all, perhaps only something like this could render even a quasi-Emperor level weapon powerless.

However, it didn't reveal any extreme aura when it acquired a quasi-royal weapon. Perhaps it was overthinking things; it was just a secret artifact like the Purple Gold Red Gourd.

But if it's a supreme divine weapon, then who is this old man who can casually produce a supreme divine weapon? It can't be some Dao Prover, right? But the current Dao Prover is clearly the Undying Emperor.

So, perhaps he was a self-severed supreme being? Or perhaps he was an immortal incarnate?
Black Bull suppressed his distracting thoughts and faced the three Great Sages with an extremely arrogant attitude.

The White Elephant Great Sage sneered, "Do you think you've already got us all figured out? I don't believe your bracelet is really that magical!"

With a flick of his hand, eight command flags scattered out, each suppressing one of the eight directions, vaguely forming a large array to suppress the black ox.

This item is a forbidden artifact of the Quasi-Emperor level. Although it can only be used once, it can instantly set up a complete Quasi-Emperor level ancient formation, and its power is enough to suppress and kill any Great Saint.

Unexpectedly, the Vajra Bracelet still did not reveal any aura. It simply grew larger and completely swallowed the eight command flags and the ancient formation that had been set up. Then, no sound was heard.

The Great Sage White Elephant exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? What kind of artifact is this that can even take away quasi-Emperor level array patterns?"

Black Bull laughed loudly, "What, didn't expect that, did you? My treasure ring can take anything, even quasi-emperor array patterns! Next, you can't possibly produce an ultimate emperor weapon, can you?"

The Great Sage Golden Roc said in a deep voice, "King Bull God, your treasure ring is indeed a rare treasure, we admit defeat. Let's make way for them, they'll be here soon. You don't want these treasures to fall into other people's hands, do you?"

Black Bull, wearing a Vajra bracelet on his head, walked straight to the treasure ship, blocking the largest gap, and said, "This treasure ship is naturally mine. Neither you nor they can get in."

The Great Sage Golden Roc was furious: "You want to eat all the food yourself? Don't think that just because you can suppress the three of us, you can suppress everyone else! There are countless heroes in this world, can you stop everyone?"

Black Bull said, "Since you don't believe me, then I'll give it a try?"

The Golden Lion Great Sage said viciously, "Then I'll wait and see how you die!"

The three Great Sages waited to the side, and soon a new Great Sage Dojo was established. However, they were helpless against it due to the obstruction of the Black Ox and the Vajra Bracelet. The Vajra Bracelet could not only take away their weapons, but also absorb the supernatural powers they unleashed.

Just as these great saints were suffering from the torment of seeing treasures before them but being unable to get close, a quasi-emperor arrived at this place.

He said, "What are you waiting for?"

The Great Sage Golden Roc said, “Senior, you don’t know this, but this Bull God King is relying on a secret treasure to try and take over this place. We really can’t do anything about him.”

The quasi-emperor sneered, "What a big appetite! You want to take this place for yourself? You'll have to see if I agree!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and said to the black bull, "You are the Bull God King? This treasure is unclaimed, how can you monopolize it? Isn't that a bit too domineering?"

The Ox God King sighed, "You can go in, but you'll have to get past me first."

The Quasi-Emperor was furious and immediately launched an attack. The Great Sages who had been blocked on the sidelines were filled with anticipation, hoping that he could break this strange magic weapon.

But they were quickly disappointed again. Even a quasi-emperor couldn't budge the Vajra Bracelet in the slightest. Whether it was a magical artifact or a supernatural power, the Vajra Bracelet could simply take it away without any effect. In this situation, the quasi-emperor directly attacked the Vajra Bracelet with his bare hands, but he couldn't even budge it. So, the quasi-emperor was at a loss and could only retreat to the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

He said coldly, "Even if you, a mere Great Sage, possess such a secret artifact, you probably wouldn't be able to devour all the treasures, would you?"

Just as Black Ox was about to reply, the voice of the Moral Celestial Venerable suddenly came from the Vajra Bracelet. So Black Ox changed his words and said, "What this senior said is true. This treasure ship is about to break apart. Each fragment contains a lot of treasures. I only need one fragment. The rest can belong to you all."

The future emperor asked, "Are you serious?"

Before Black Bull could reply, the treasure ship suddenly began to emit endless divine light, then began to tremble violently, and then deep, bottomless cracks began to appear.

Before long, the treasure ship disintegrated completely, and countless fragments, carrying endless divine light, scattered and flew in all directions, rushing towards all parts of the universe. Only a pearl that seemed to be a relic, or perhaps a condensed world, remained in place.

Black Bull cupped his hands and said, "This item is mine; I will not take anything else. As a sign of sincerity, I will return all the weapons I took from you. How about that?"

As it spoke, the Vajra Bracelet shuddered, spitting out all the weapons it had just absorbed, which then returned to their respective owners.

The cultivators put away their weapons, exchanged glances, and then dispersed, chasing after the various fragments of the treasure ships.

Judging from their previous performance, they had absolutely no means of dealing with this bracelet, so they were indeed unable to obtain the most crucial part of the treasure from Black Bull.

Since that's the case, the only option left is to settle for second-best opportunities and seek out less desirable ones. With this in mind, the vast majority of people left to search for those fragments. Even the quasi-emperor was no exception.

Amidst the chaos, someone said, "King Bull God, you're so generous. We'll meet again."

Black Bull was taken aback for a moment, then said, "No problem, no problem."

But soon, he realized something was wrong. A familiar suction force pulled him forward uncontrollably. It was actually the Golden Roc Great Sage's Purple-Gold Red Gourd!
Although it was only one of his avatars that had been affected before, the feeling of powerlessness still left him with lingering fear, so he quickly realized who had attacked him.

While the other cultivators had already gone far away, Black Bull couldn't help but relax his vigilance a little. In that fleeting moment, Golden Roc Great Sage launched a sneak attack on him using the Purple Gold Red Gourd.

It can be said that the Golden Roc Great Sage's attack was absolutely fast, ruthless, and accurate. Under normal circumstances, the Black Bull would have been dead without a burial place after being hit by it.

Although Black Bull was annoyed that he had been caught off guard and attacked due to his carelessness, he was not flustered at all. Instead, he shouted on the spot, "Master Bracelet, save me!"

Upon hearing this, the Vajra Bracelet revealed a wisp of divine light. Instantly, the Golden Roc Great Sage felt his hand go empty, and the purple-gold red gourd was taken away directly.

Ignoring the heartache, the Golden Roc Great Sage immediately revealed his true form, transforming into a golden-winged roc. Spreading his wings, he fled into the distance. This speed was far beyond the reach of the Black Bull, truly a cosmic speed. Perhaps only the "Travel" secret technique could surpass it.

His decisiveness in fleeing thousands of miles after missing his target earned Black Bull's admiration. However, since that was the case, he wouldn't hold back.

The Vajra Bracelet shrank continuously until it landed in Black Bull's hand. He threw it with all his might, and it struck the Golden Roc Great Sage, who was far away in the endless starry sky, killing him instantly. In just a moment, the Vajra Bracelet returned and landed on Black Bull's head once more.

This attack also caused all the cultivators to give up their covetousness of this place.
