Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 491 Two Heroes
In this era when the laws of heaven and earth are at a low ebb, the fact that two young ancient emperors could still emerge is undoubtedly a very rare occurrence. After all, many so-called great eras do not necessarily produce many such figures.

For this reason, many cultivators in the universe who have witnessed their potential have begun to have some expectations. Perhaps they can attain enlightenment in this not-so-great era and thus change the pattern of the human universe.

In the past, only a very few people were able to do this, and even many enlightened beings found it difficult.

Of course, neither of these two young ancient emperors truly belonged to this era.

The Child of Light came from tens of thousands of years ago. He was a prodigy born in a glorious era, and was preserved for posterity because he was entrusted with great expectations.

If it weren't for the fact that the Light Clan was under such a great threat, he should have been born in a glorious era, competing with various special physiques and bloodlines from all over the universe.

The other Qitian came from ten thousand years ago. At that time, the Great Dao Imprint of the White Tiger Emperor had not yet dissipated. Although the environment at that time had slowly begun to deteriorate, it was still considered the end of the previous era. Apart from the suppression of the Great Dao Imprint, the environment of heaven and earth was still relatively good.

According to the normal trajectory, he would definitely grow to be able to save his own ancient star first, and then seal himself as a future generation to come to a new era to prove his Dao.

By sheer coincidence, they were both born into this life and became each other's greatest rivals.

If we're talking about the true prodigies of this era, the top ones are nothing more than near-emperors, with the potential to become rulers of those vast star systems.

Of course, this doesn't mean they'll necessarily stop there. While innate talent has a huge impact, hard work and dedication can still raise their potential.

The Great Emperor of Chaos in later generations suffered many major defeats in the early and middle stages of his life, and even excluded him from the list of those who proved their Dao whenever they were invincible in their generation.

It is evident that before he created the demonic embryo, he probably didn't even have the potential to be a quasi-emperor, let alone an emperor.

After all, Di Tian, ​​at the Saint King realm, was praised for having no problem defeating the young Chaotic Ancient Emperor. And Di Tian would eventually become a Quasi-Emperor, perhaps a high-level one, but still still a Quasi-Emperor.

Therefore, Luan Gu, who was widely believed at the time to be defeated by Di Tian's overwhelming advantage, may not actually have the potential to become a quasi-emperor.

However, after forging the demonic embryo, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor was still a late bloomer, directly evolving into a true young emperor, and officially embarking on his own invincible path in the later stages of his path to enlightenment.

Therefore, innate talent doesn't necessarily have a limit. It's just that people like Luan Gu are, in some ways, even rarer than true young emperors.

Therefore, cultivators in the ancient era could hardly imagine that such a situation could occur. In their eyes, the Son of Light and the Abandoned Heaven were the only two seeds, and everyone else could only be a supporting character.

Of course, these prodigies were also proud and arrogant, and they would not admit defeat directly. With these two goals in mind, they all began to put in their best effort to cultivate, not wanting to fall behind.

Therefore, although the ultimate ancient path has not yet opened, countless people still linger before the crystal monument. Some of them are trying their best to leave their names, while others are cultivating while sensing the auras of the Light God and the Abandoned Heaven, striving to be no weaker than others.

The Light God and the Abandoned Heaven, who were regarded as imaginary enemies by countless people, paid no attention to this and were busy with their own affairs.

In short, the Prince of Light's life during this period was all about exhilarating battles. However, his act of killing a Great Saint of the Crimson Scale Clan for the sake of his people was eventually exposed, attracting the pursuit of the Crimson Scale Quasi-Emperor.

When they migrated some of his followers' tribes, they did the same thing, killing other Great Saints who were detrimental to their races. As for the Holy Kings, there were even more. These things have happened over the years.

This led to nearly ten major races in the universe issuing a kill order against the Light God's group. These major races were quite powerful and also mobilized many smaller races to join in the hunt.

Thus, the Light God and his party began guerrilla warfare, shuttling back and forth between various star fields, causing heavy losses to these related forces, and during this time, several Great Saints were killed.

During this period, the Son of Light and his followers were tempered and improved in countless bloody battles. Although some of them died in battle or passed away in enlightenment, most of them broke through their limits and became Great Saints.

However, in these decades, the progress of the Son of Light has slowed down, which is quite different from his previous vigorous and diligent state.

This is partly because it is inherently difficult to advance quickly in the Great Sage Realm, but also because the Great Dao is not prominent in the current environment, and the laws of heaven and earth are difficult to sense, making it difficult for cultivators in the Great Sage Realm to comprehend the Dao, thus naturally slowing down their cultivation speed considerably.

Even so, his progress was still much faster than that of the other Great Sages.

To solve this problem, the Son of Light doesn't have many ideas for the time being. The most likely solution is to enter the ultimate ancient path and accelerate his own growth through the hidden opportunities within.

However, since the ultimate ancient path could not be opened, he could only rely on his talent to overcome the hardships and continue to improve.

The reason why this ultimate ancient road has not been opened for so long is also because the environment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in this era is not good, and the average level of the geniuses born is not high enough.

The reason is that the progress of the Son of Light is too fast, and others simply cannot keep up. Even though the Ultimate Ancient Road opens only once every ten thousand years, it will be slightly delayed in opening if not enough people are gathered, to accommodate those cultivators who are progressing slowly or starting late.

However, the group led by the Son of Light did not waste any time during the series of bloody battles. On the contrary, they were greatly tempered and made much faster progress than in normal cultivation.

However, as the conflict escalated, the quasi-emperors of those powerful clans were no longer limited to using avatars to capture them, but began to have their avatars wield quasi-emperor weapons to hunt them down and search for them.

Therefore, they had no choice but to lie low and wait for the situation to change.

As for Qitian, after becoming a Great Sage and leaving his name, he returned to his hometown.

This time, he will restore his ancient star, which is on the verge of extinction, and give it new life, freeing it from its impending demise. He will also preach on this ancient star, promoting the development of its cultivation civilization.

Over the years, in order to achieve this goal, he has prepared a large number of rare and precious treasures, aiming to truly transform his hometown.

After being nominated for the Ultimate Ancient Road, no matter where you are, as long as the Ultimate Ancient Road opens, a domain gate will come to guide you in. Therefore, Qitian is not worried about being too far away and losing the opportunity.
