Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 482 Chaos arises
Due to the divine appearance of the Son of Light, his extraordinary talent that resembled that of an ancient emperor, and his domineering yet ruthless way of dealing with people, the Son of Light had an excellent reputation on the ancient starry road. Many geniuses from various races became his followers, including some geniuses from great clans who far surpassed the Light Clan.

This is not surprising. After all, in later generations, Ye Fan's twelve followers came from various races, including even the Light Clan.

It's important to understand that the Light Clan during Ye Fan's time was vastly different from what it is now. Back then, the Light Clan possessed supreme imperial weapons passed down through generations, making them one of the top clans deep within the starry sky.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Son of Light has followers from other major clans.

Upon hearing that the race of the God of Light was being oppressed by two powerful neighboring clans, these people eagerly volunteered to join the God of Light in supporting him and ensuring a smooth resolution to the matter.

And if things don't go smoothly and a fight breaks out, they can help.

After all, they are all high-level Saint King cultivators, and they have considerable power behind them, so their influence should not be underestimated.

The God of Light was naturally pleased with this. So the group set off in a grand procession toward the God of Light's homeland.

On his way back home, the God of Light unconsciously revealed a smile tinged with excitement.

Seeing this, one of the followers asked, "Brother, why are you so happy? Is there some good news? Or are you just missing your people too much?"

The Child of Light said, "No, I am happy for the person I sensed when I was nominated on the Ultimate Ancient Road."

Upon hearing this, the followers of the Son of Light were stirred. The Son of Light had never been defeated on the ancient starry road over the years, although this was partly due to the times, it was enough to prove his talent.

Could it be that there is such a prodigy in the universe who has the potential to attain enlightenment, someone who could make him happy?

Seeing the curiosity on the faces of his followers, the Son of Light explained, "As we were leaving, I sensed an aura. It was a newly ascended Great Saint like me, yet it could contend with my aura."

"Although our clash of energies lasted only a moment, I can confirm that he is definitely a formidable enemy."

"I thought there wouldn't be anyone like this in this life, but it seems I was wrong. With such an opponent who can fight me to the death on the ultimate ancient path, I might have a chance to attain enlightenment in this life."

The followers of the Son of Light had different expressions. Although they had not sensed that aura, since the Son of Light had said so, then such a person must indeed exist.

The fact that this divine child could regard him as a formidable enemy simply by his aura raises questions about whether a Dao-proving individual will emerge in this generation. If such an individual does appear, the outcome is uncertain.

They were originally drawn to the Light God because he was too powerful and had an excellent character and personality, which is why they chose to follow him.

Moreover, even if this Son of Light cannot attain enlightenment in this life due to environmental issues, he will still achieve great things.

Therefore, following him is not only a personal matter, but also potentially beneficial to one's own clan. After all, in such a chaotic world, even if their clan is stronger than the Light Clan and lives in a more peaceful region, they will still suffer sooner or later.

Their journey through the ancient starry sky reveals that the human universe is becoming increasingly chaotic. As the war escalates, they can hardly guarantee the safety of their own people.

This is actually one of the paths chosen by many talented individuals on the ancient starry road who are strong but not strong enough to compete for the opportunity to prove their Dao.

Since they themselves could not become the ones who proved the truth, they would choose the person with the best character and the best talent from among countless geniuses, make him their follower, and mobilize resources to help him.

In this way, if the chosen prodigy can become a prover of the Way, they will receive a reward far greater than what they have given.

This is actually a kind of investment, it just depends on how well you judge people.

The Prince of Light, who had previously been far ahead of the rest, seemingly the protagonist of the era, now had a formidable enemy he himself recognized. It was hard to say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. However, this was a matter for the future, and they quickly put it out of their minds, instead starting to think about how to make their presence felt and ensure that the Prince of Light would remember their kindness.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the Light Clan lived.

The God of Light frowned. In the 180 years since his departure, the Light Clan had faced an even more difficult situation, with fewer members and a much smaller territory.

At this moment, there was even a Great Sage releasing his aura to put pressure on the higher-ups of the Light Clan.

His followers were enraged upon realizing this. Although they initially followed the Son of Light for various reasons, their bond of brotherhood and mutual support had become genuine over the decades and centuries they had spent together.

Therefore, they naturally could not tolerate the oppression of the people of the God of Light.

The Prince of Light said calmly, "Please don't be in a hurry, everyone. I'll go and meet him first."

As he spoke, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Light Clan.

The followers of the Son of Light were abuzz with discussion.

"Oh no, my brother is angry. This is the first time I've ever heard him speak like this. It's chilling."

“Brothers, I just sensed that old man at the Great Saint Realm is from the Crimson Scale Clan, and their power is just so-so. But their clan produced a Quasi-Emperor a thousand years ago, which makes things a bit tricky.”

"A quasi-emperor? Then we really need to be careful. I'm not confident I can get our ancestor to deal with a quasi-emperor, and I think you're all in the same boat. So, this time we'll have to rely on ourselves."

"Don't rush, let's see what Big Brother thinks..."

"Alright, no need to look anymore, let's get started."

As they were talking, a deafening roar came from afar. Not long after the arrival of the Light God, he clashed with the Great Saint of the Crimson Scale Clan and started fighting.

As the boundless divine light flashed, it shrouded the entire ancient star in a dazzling light, obscuring everything.

Although the Son of Light had only recently advanced to the Great Saint realm, while this Great Saint of the Crimson Scale Clan was a veteran Great Saint, the Son of Light had already touched the forbidden realm and was also a young ancient emperor with boundless potential. Therefore, even though the Great Saint of the Crimson Scale Clan was of a higher realm, he was still beaten without any power to fight back.

The Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan, barely managing to break the deadlock, roared angrily, "Who are you, daring to interfere in my clan's affairs? Aren't you afraid of provoking my Crimson Scale Quasi-Emperor to take action?"

Previously, the Crimson Scale Clan learned that the Light Clan had obtained a domain gate to the ancient starry road from the Undying Emperor, so the Crimson Scale Clan's Quasi-Emperor sent him to seize this domain gate.

However, the few high-ranking members of the Light Clan who knew the truth all kept their mouths shut and refused to reveal any information, which angered him. That's why he released his aura to pressure the Light Clan and force them to submit.

Just then, a mysterious Great Sage suddenly barged in and attacked him, his strength causing even him to be alarmed. After all, the opponent's minor cultivation level was lower than his, but his combat power was almost equal to his, and he even displayed the state of a forbidden domain.

In order to protect himself, this great sage had no choice but to invoke the name of the quasi-emperor in his clan to intimidate others.

The Son of Light silently dispelled the divine illusion of light, revealing his pale gold body and four-faced features.

The Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan said, "You, you are a member of the Light Clan? How is that possible?"
