Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 370 The Undying Holy Emperor and the Heavenly Overlord

Liang Yu said, "I think there are very few people in this world who would dare to impersonate me."

The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor found it somewhat unbelievable and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that you, Great Celestial Venerable, never ascended to immortality in the first place, but have always existed in the mortal realm?"

Liang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, you guessed right. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is still in seclusion, so he had to send me. Don't worry, although I am just an avatar, I can still help you achieve the Dao without any problem."

The Primordial Ancestor of the Overlord Body glanced over and found that the Limitless Supreme Celestial Venerable before him was still an existence worthy of his awe. Even a mere clone was this powerful; had he ascended to immortality in the mortal realm?
The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor asked, "May I ask, Great Heavenly Venerable, have you already become an immortal?"

Liang Yu said, "We're still on our way, but perhaps it's not too far off. We'll discuss the details after you attain enlightenment."

Liang Yu took out the Harmony Flower and said, "This is the legendary Harmony Flower, which is enough to make people attain the Dao on the spot and ascend to heaven in one step. Originally, this thing could only be used by one person, but thanks to the research of Fellow Daoist Yuanshi and me, I can divide this Harmony Flower into two parts without affecting its function, only the effect will decrease."

"Although I cannot enable you to directly attain the Dao, I can help you overcome your physical deficiencies and greatly weaken the suppression of the Dao imprint of the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana. You only need to overcome a tribulation that is much stronger than the ordinary tribulation for attaining the Dao to successfully attain the Dao."

"Of course, if you fail, then this Dao-Merging Flower will be wasted. Alternatively, you can have one person consume all the Dao-Merging Flowers, while the other continues to wait or goes to another world."

"You'd better make a decision quickly."

The Immortal Golden Body Ancestor and the Overlord Body Ancestor exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We two can share it."

Liang Yu said, "You'd better think this through, or you'll regret it."

The two ancestors shook their heads firmly, indicating their stance.

Liang Yu smiled slightly; this was exactly the outcome he had hoped for. This ordeal was difficult to overcome, but success would bring even greater benefits.

With the current strength of these two progenitors, even though this great calamity is much stronger than the ordinary calamity of proving the Dao, it is not enough to make them fail.

Liang Yu plucked the natural Dao fruit from the Dao Harmony Flower, and the Dao Harmony Flower immediately disintegrated and disappeared, leaving only a seed which Liang Yu sent to the Kunlun Sacred Realm from afar.

He then used a cosmic-level source technique to seal the divine energy of this natural Dao Fruit, preventing it from dissipating. Subsequently, the natural Dao Fruit was split into two, each drifting towards the two progenitors.

Without hesitation, the Undying Golden Body Ancestor and the Overlord Body Ancestor swallowed the fruit before them in one gulp. Immediately afterward, no Origin Heaven Divine Runes appeared, but the power of the Great Universe's origin was still directly activated, forming two cocoons that enveloped the two ancestors, making them even more perfect.

Liang Yu's clone quietly disappeared, leaving only one sentence: "If you have any questions after you succeed, you can come to me."

Before the two ancestors could even express their gratitude, they were completely captivated by the changes in themselves.

Under the influence of the Harmony Flower, they immediately felt a sense of ease, as if the heavy shackles binding them had been removed, leaving them feeling relieved.

Their cultivation, which had long been stagnant, began to change, and the slight defect in their physical constitution that was incompatible with the current universe's great Dao was directly remedied.

It can be said that if no one had attained enlightenment before them, even if the Dao-Merging Flower were to split in two, it would be enough to compensate for their physical deficiencies. Moreover, the effects of the Dao-Merging Flower go beyond that. The Dao of the Silent Celestial Venerable has already merged with the Heavenly Heart Mark; under the suppression of all Daos, even if their physical defects were compensated, they would still be unable to attain enlightenment.

However, under the remaining divine effects of the Harmony Flower, even the myriad paths of the universe were weakened by more than half. Only a portion of the Great Dao Laws participated in their tribulation of proving the Dao, making the tribulation they had to overcome even more powerful.

Soon, the Undying Golden Body Ancestor and the Overlord Body Ancestor emerged from their cocoons, each flying away to create distance before facing their own tribulations of enlightenment.

Golden and purple blood energy stood at opposite ends of the universe, their interplay causing countless cultivators in the universe to tremble in fear.

What's going on? Is it possible for someone to attain enlightenment even though the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana has already done so? To do that, one would need to break through the suppression of all the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

Only the Primordial Celestial Venerable of the past could accomplish such a thing, but he was rebuilding his cultivation at that time, and what he broke through was his own Dao.

Therefore, although the cultivators in the universe knew that he had started anew, they were unaware that his second life required him to break through all paths because he had abandoned the Dao Fruit of his first life.

Therefore, this is still a major undertaking that no one has yet accomplished.

But now, someone has actually challenged this unprecedented achievement. Moreover, it wouldn't be so bad if it were just one person, but there are two of them, which is truly astonishing.

However, these two great tribulations were indeed far more powerful and imposing than the one that the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana had recently undergone. And the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana's tribulation had already far exceeded the standard for ordinary Dao-proving cultivators.

After a long while, these two cataclysmic events, powerful enough to shake the universe and destroy countless galaxies, finally came to an end. Two mangled and tattered bodies fell from the sky, crashing through countless abandoned stars before finally floating in the void.

The Undying Golden Body Ancestor and the Overlord Body Ancestor had their bodies shattered several times during the Great Calamity, but they were rebuilt with great difficulty. Even though they survived this Great Calamity, they inevitably suffered severe injuries.

Several years passed, and just when everyone thought these two heaven-defying individuals had failed, two supreme auras soared into the sky, began to merge with the universe, and pressed down on everyone's heads.

This vast universe was directly filled with three supreme auras, which was astonishing. After all, this time, three Dao Proving Beings emerged in the same era, creating a miracle.

Subsequently, the identities of the two progenitors were revealed, further enhancing the prestige of the Immortal Emperor. After all, two of his former opponents had now attained enlightenment.

These two progenitors changed their names from then on, one becoming the Undying Holy Emperor and the other the Azure Sky Overlord Emperor. The Undying Golden Body and the Azure Sky Overlord Body lineages also rose in status and became the royal family.

Later, news spread that they had succeeded because they used the Harmony Flower to greatly weaken the suppression of the myriad paths.

The Undying Golden Body Ancestor and the Overlord Body Ancestor were still people with a sense of shame. They didn't dare to claim the achievement of someone else proving the Dao first but still defying the heavens to prove the Dao for themselves. Therefore, they revealed the news about the Dao-Merging Flower.

Even so, the immense scale of their tribulation made cultivators throughout the universe firmly believe that they were definitely not ordinary Dao-proving individuals.

However, they were not wrong about this, because after these two ancestors attained the Dao, they also reached the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor level, just like the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, and indeed had strength far exceeding that of ordinary Dao attainers.
