Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 415 The Emperor of Love
Thanks to the terrifying vitality of the Phoenix lineage, the Heavenly Emperor's son quickly recovered to his peak condition. He did not give up, but instead triggered the great calamity once again.

Although he hadn't yet broken the Immortal Emperor's mark, the Emperor's son sensed progress in his cultivation and spiritual power. If he continued to grow stronger, perhaps there was still hope.

However, the Heavenly Emperor's son was unable to break through the mark of the former Undying Heavenly Emperor and successfully attain enlightenment several times in a row. Although his cultivation level continued to increase slowly, the injuries he suffered also became more and more severe. This round of tribulations and recuperation had already consumed several decades of his life.

Finally, he suffered a serious injury and had to stop his efforts to begin the arduous process of healing.

Fortunately, thanks to the bloodline of the Phoenix lineage, the Phoenix Treasure Technique, and the inheritance of the Undying Emperor, these Dao injuries can still be healed, and the healing process won't be too slow.

Clearly, he hasn't given up yet.

While the Heavenly Emperor was healing, Ning Fei and the Immortal Emperor were hiding in another starry sky, watching him undergo his tribulation.

However, thanks to the Immortal Emperor's methods, they were perfectly hidden, and the Emperor's son was completely unaware of it.

The Undying Emperor said, "Ning Fei, do you think my son can successfully attain enlightenment this time?"

Ning Fei said, "He won't make it."

The Immortal Emperor sighed, "You really don't know how to speak. Can't you even consider my feelings?"

Ning Fei said, "Then what should I say?"

The Undying Emperor said, "Although he has extraordinary bloodline and exceptional talent, the Great Dao imprint left by his father is too powerful, preventing him from breaking through and forcing him to fail. However, his ambition and perseverance are still worth encouraging."

Ning Fei chuckled and remained silent. After all, could the Undying Emperor not understand whether the Heavenly Emperor's son could succeed?

Ning Fei was born long before the Heavenly Emperor's son attempted to attain enlightenment. However, the Immortal Emperor asked him to postpone his attempt and let his son, the Heavenly Emperor's son, try first.

Ning Fei had long anticipated that the Heavenly Emperor's son would not succeed in attaining enlightenment, so he readily agreed.

As for the reasons for his failure, the Immortal Emperor's Great Dao Imprint was only one aspect, while his imperfect nature was another.

Ultimately, the outcome of this great calamity was exactly as they had predicted. However, it seems the Emperor's son intends to continue testing, which would be dangerous.

After a long while, the Emperor's son fully recovered from his injuries. He still did not give up, and with a roar, he triggered the great calamity once again.

This time, the universe trembled; before the lightning even flashed, countless stars were shattered by the thunder. Clearly, the calamity unleashed by the Heavenly Emperor's son this time was far more terrifying than before.

The Emperor's son quickly shattered the sea of ​​lightning until the Immortal Emperor's mark reappeared.

He focused all his attention, banishing all distractions to engage in a fierce battle with the Immortal Emperor's Mark. But no matter how well he performed, the Immortal Emperor's Mark always maintained the upper hand.

In the end, the Immortal Emperor's mark unleashed countless runes, transforming into Dao traces representing his supreme laws, which pierced through the Emperor's son, turning him into a sieve.

Each of these marks left irreparable damage on the Emperor's son, and countless wounds remained within his very essence.

This time, the Emperor's son crashed onto an ancient star, almost losing all signs of life.

Ning Fei, who was hiding in the shadows, said, "Are you sure you don't want to help your son?"

The Undying Emperor said quietly, "Don't underestimate the power of Nirvana of our Phoenix Clan. These Dao injuries would probably cripple others in this life. But as long as he can comprehend the true meaning of Phoenix Nirvana, he can be reborn by bathing in the Dao Fire, completely healing these injuries, and using this to reach a higher level."

Ning Fei said, "He's still your son, are you just going to watch him try again and again?"

The Undying Emperor said, "As my son, he is destined to have no chance of mediocrity. This is just the beginning. Brother Ning, you can go and prove your Dao." Ning Fei looked at the Undying Emperor. His words were cold, but a trace of affection still appeared in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fei no longer hesitated and headed into the depths of the starry sky, intending to trigger his own tribulation of enlightenment on the other side of the universe.

Meanwhile, the human universe was in an uproar. The news of the Heavenly Emperor's son's failure to attain enlightenment had spread.

After all, such a terrifying commotion that shook the universe was enough to make all the high-level cultivators in the universe notice what was happening there.

People couldn't help but sigh that the restriction that a lineage could not produce two Dao-proving beings had indeed been fulfilled once again. Even the Immortal Emperor, who was suspected to be a celestial being and regarded as the supreme god of the universe, could not have his descendants break through this restriction.

Perhaps this truly is a limitation that no one can break.

Before they could even process their thoughts, another deafening thunderclap echoed through the universe. Immediately after the Heavenly Emperor's son's defeat, someone else triggered a great tribulation of enlightenment.

Who could it be this time? The cultivators of the mortal universe couldn't help but focus their attention once again.

Then they discovered that this enlightened one was also an ancient person. However, compared to the previous ones, this one was relatively new.

After all, Ning Fei is a cultivator who was born in this era, unlike the others, who are from the previous era and have been self-imposed all the way here.

Compared to the Heavenly Emperor's son, the calamity that Ning Fei triggered was naturally not that terrifying, after all, his bloodline and physique were indeed much inferior to those of the Phoenix bloodline.

If Liang Yu hadn't stepped in to set up the formation back then, helping him to cultivate the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Skill to its peak ahead of time, and using the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Formation to promote the growth of his Forgetfulness Heavenly Skill, he would have fallen behind.

After years of accumulation, Ning Fei has already found his own path and has no mental block or obsession, so his tribulation was very smooth.

After a cataclysmic event came to an end, Ning Fei's aura soared into the sky, perfectly merging with the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Ning Fei's Dao Imprint immediately began to spread, directly filling the entire universe and merging with all Daos, allowing everyone to perceive this invincible aura.

The era of the new emperor has arrived.

Because the core of Ning Fei's cultivation path and method is the Heavenly Art of Forgetting Emotions, he is known as the Emperor of Emotions.

In terms of combat strength, Ning Fei is probably on par with the Three Lives Emperor and Chuan Ying, placing him in the category of being stronger than ordinary Dao Proving Beings.

In truth, given Ning Fei's innate talent and physique, even if he were to attain Dao, he would only reach the level of an average Dao-attaining cultivator. The same applies to Chuan Ying and the Three-Life Emperor.

However, the Three-Life Emperor entered the Underworld and learned the Netherworld Scripture and other ancient scriptures. He also gained time with the Elixir of Immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, which raised his strength by one level.

Chuan Ying, having become a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, already possessed a more solid foundation. Moreover, he also had the elixir of immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Therefore, he not only surpassed ordinary Daoists when he attained enlightenment, but also gained a clear advantage due to the endless battlefield trials he endured under Yuanshi Tianzun's guidance.

Besides possessing the elixir of immortality and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Ning Fei's cultivation greatly increased because he deeply experienced various possibilities for the future within Liang Yu's Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Array.

After all, although Ning Fei's life was different in those futures, he still gained many unique insights into enlightenment.

Furthermore, the Immortal Emperor later guided his cultivation. After all, he had served as the Immortal Emperor's chief general for a period of time, and his tribe remains the core of the Immortal Divine Dynasty to this day.

Therefore, Ning Fei actually relied on opportunities to elevate his potential to a higher level.
