Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 401 Bloody Battle

After leaving the Kunlun Sacred Realm, Chuanying went straight back to his hometown. He first used his great supernatural powers to slightly influence the laws of heaven and earth there, making it more suitable for cultivation.

Then, just like the Primordial Celestial Venerable of old, he preached on this ancient star, helping the cultivators here to develop.

This was actually done long ago after Chuan Ying achieved his unconventional path, and now it is just a further improvement and supplement.

As for what follows, he will naturally leave his own scriptures and supernatural powers within his tribe. Of course, Chuanying will also hide the most domineering, fierce, and self-destructive aspects, leaving them for a destined person.

After all, the path he took was similar to that of the later Fighting Saint Emperor. If one forcibly cultivates without a profound foundation and outstanding talent, it is easy to damage one's origin. It would be one thing to shorten one's lifespan, but it would be another to leave behind Dao injuries that would cut off one's path or even lead to death.

After leaving behind their legacy, this clan, whose foundation wasn't particularly deep, naturally needed a means of self-preservation that could be passed down through generations. Chuan Ying originally intended to leave his bow behind, but after thinking it over, he decided to set up an array here first.

Although Chuan Yingyi had long intended to leave this bow in the mortal realm, he was about to enter the endless battlefield array set up by Yuanshi Tianzun for cultivation, so he still needed this bow for the time being.

Moreover, this entire process allows the bow to continue evolving. Therefore, Chuan Ying decided to wait until he leaves the human universe in the future to pass on this bow to future generations.

Next, Chuanying followed her past route, leaving behind her legacy in each of the places that held memories, giving her past memories a perfect ending.

He then returned to the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Your lifespan in this lifetime should be around 15,000 years, and the elixir of immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill will no longer be effective. So, how many years will you stay in the mortal realm? And how many years will you train in this endless battlefield?"

Chuan Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Since everyone except the Power Emperor who completed the Reverse Life departs after living for ten thousand years, then I will also live for ten thousand years in the mortal world. As for this endless battlefield, the longer the better."

This harsh reality of fighting to sustain himself in an endless battlefield, constantly growing stronger, suited his desires perfectly. After all, Chuan Ying had no rivals after attaining enlightenment.

Those who haven't attained enlightenment are unworthy to be his opponents, while the others who have attained enlightenment are all senior figures who have embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world or the path of earthly immortality; his cultivation level is utterly insignificant. Furthermore, the forbidden zone of life has already been completely eliminated by Liang Yu and his group.

Therefore, finding a suitable opponent for a major battle is extremely difficult for Chuan Ying now. This is indeed a source of confusion for Chuan Ying, who has embarked on the path to becoming a war god.

However, this problem was easily solved under the endless battlefield formation of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Although the phantoms of those past Daoists were merely replicas of the aura and Dao by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and condensed into form using Origin Techniques and Array Patterns, they were not the actual individuals.

However, under the manipulation of the Primordial Banner clone and the Myriad Things Source Cauldron clone of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, these phantoms may be even more difficult to deal with than the original body.

Of course, Yuanshi Tianzun would precisely control the power of these clones, keeping them at the same level as Chuanying. But even so, his superior cultivation would still endow these phantoms with extraordinary combat awareness.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun retrieved the Dark Ice Plains. This former forbidden zone of life had now been completely refined by Yuanshi Tianzun. Previously, this place had been used as a Dao platform for his enlightenment and cultivation.

To provide a sufficiently powerful foundation for the endless battlefield, the Primordial Celestial Venerable used this place as the main site of the great battle, inscribing countless array patterns within it to form a vast battlefield world. Chuan Ying adjusted his state and stepped into the great array. Within this array, an independent world seemed to have evolved, forming a vast and boundless plain. However, in this world, whether it was the sky, the earth, or the clouds, everything was blood-red, only in varying shades.

Soon, Chuan Ying's opponents came towards him. Nine figures lined up in a row, their auras intertwined, exuding supreme power like the supreme beings of the Great Dao.

Chuan Ying gasped, immediately recognizing the nine figures opposite him as the Nine Celestial Venerables of Mythology. Of course, they were manifesting in their pre-reverse-life states—perhaps their first, second, or even third incarnation.

After all, once they reverse their fate or embark on other paths, their strength will undergo a qualitative leap, which is completely beyond the scope of Chuan Ying now.

Even so, they are still formidable rivals to Chuan Ying.

Chuan Ying, who was born at the end of the mythological era, couldn't help but feel excited. Although not every individual among the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era could be ranked among the top nine of the Mythological Era, they were definitely the nine most representative people of this era.

For Chuan Ying, being able to face off against his former opponents is an absolute honor.

Of course, they were only the core, not the entirety. As the aura of the great formation continued to fluctuate, dozens more supreme auras slowly emerged, standing behind the Nine Heavens Venerable.

A terrifying aura swept over them, pressing down on Chuan Ying like a tidal wave. But Chuan Ying was already full of fighting spirit, and he withstood this surging aura like a pillar in the middle of a dam.

Chuan Ying stepped forward and addressed the assembled heroes alone: ​​"Who will be the first?"

A figure with a dragon-headed stone tablet on its head stepped forward; it was the phantom of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

After the fierce battle between the Chuan and Ying forces, the Kunlun Sacred Realm returned to its former tranquility.

Seeing that his disciple had begun his training, and that the entire process was being controlled by his two avatars, the Primordial Banner and the Cauldron of All Things, Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew his attention and turned his focus to the other two disciples who were sealed in the Immortal Source deep within the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

His second disciple, the Emperor, continuously strengthened his foundation through the nurturing of the Creation Source Eye and various other methods employed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. Furthermore, he had been personally instructed by the Emperor, laying a solid foundation for him, making him an undisputed immortal prodigy.

The third disciple, Wang Bo, a true Chaos Body, gained an unprecedentedly profound foundation, even surpassing his former self, because the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself had thoroughly grasped the mysteries of the Chaos Body.

Although they were far inferior to Liang Yu's disciple, the Immortal Emperor, they were by no means inferior to others.

Throughout his life, Yuanshi Tianzun had seen countless cultivators, and apart from himself and Wuji Tianzun Liang Yu, even Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun dared not claim to be superior to the Immortal Emperor. Therefore, his disciples were naturally no match for him.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable carefully activated the World Cauldron Technique, encompassing all three disciples within it. He refined the Kunlun Sacred Realm and the origin of the Great Universe, subtly strengthening their physiques and essence. Even Chuan Ying, who had already attained Dao, did not perceive this process.

Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun continued to devote himself to the cultivation of the Nine Secrets.
