Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 557 The Great Enemy
For Changsheng to become a Great Sage at the age of two hundred is by no means late; in fact, it can be considered quite fast. And this is even after he did not rush to progress too quickly.

Although he was very worried about the current situation of Ziwei Star, the human race still had the upper hand when he left, so he was not too worried, but he missed his old friends.

However, haste makes waste. Changsheng didn't rush to quickly improve his cultivation level, but instead tried to take each step steadily and surely. To become the Human Emperor, he absolutely couldn't be impatient for quick success. If he were to level up rapidly now without considering his foundation, these drawbacks would become apparent as his cultivation level deepened, making it difficult for him to progress.

However, after becoming a Great Sage, he and his group of high-level or even peak Saint King cultivators quickened their pace and rushed to leave their names before the Ultimate Ancient Road.

This time they embarked on the ancient starry road a little later, and the opening of the ultimate ancient road may not be far off. Since he has already met the requirements, it is better to arrive as soon as possible.

After all, this is the first great era in countless millennia, and many geniuses accumulated over the past will emerge in this era, which greatly increases the competitiveness on the ancient star road.

Although the opening time of the Ultimate Ancient Road is mainly based on time, it can be slightly adjusted depending on the number of people who leave their names.

Furthermore, Changsheng also wanted to see Mu Renqing, Mo Tian, ​​Xiao Ran, and the others. Perhaps on the ultimate ancient path, they could continue their unfinished competition.

With these complex emotions in mind, Changsheng arrived before the ultimate ancient road. However, he frowned slightly and stopped his followers.

He called out loudly, "Friends in front, come out and have a chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, several ancient clan cultivators appeared from the void. The one in the lead was a Great Saint, surrounded by blood and baleful energy.

Clearly, they are from the Blood Moon Clan. This clan is inherently bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless, and they have a custom of drinking the blood of other races. They are a notoriously vicious clan in the universe.

The Blood Moon Clan's Great Sage licked his dry lips, his eyes filled with greed and cruelty as he looked at Changsheng. He clapped his hands and said, "Human, you actually managed to discover me. It seems you are indeed not simple."

Changsheng asked, "May I ask what brings you here to block my way?"

The Great Sage of the Blood Moon Clan said, "I've heard that you possess the Yin Body, which must make you extraordinary. I've come specifically to borrow your essence and blood for a good drink, and I hope you will grant my request."

Changsheng said, "If you want to drink my essence blood, then come and get it yourself."

Sensing the strong stench of blood emanating from him, Changsheng couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent.

The Blood Moon Clan's Great Sage took out the skull of a human Saint King that had been refined into a wine cup, took a sip of the blood inside, and exclaimed, "Since that's the case, then I'll be right there. This skull comes from one of your human Saint Kings, who seems to be some kind of Void Celestial Body. He's truly extraordinary and one of the strongest opponents I've encountered on the Ancient Star Road."

"Unfortunately, he was still defeated by me. But to commemorate this formidable enemy, I specially squeezed out all his life essence and blood, and used his skull as a container to hold it, only drinking a little bit at specific times."

"He seems to know you?"

The Blood Moon Clan's bloodlust may seem like a manifestation of their ferocious nature, but it is actually a unique method of cultivation for them. From the blood of cultivators with special bloodlines or physiques, they can extract the laws and essence within, thereby continuously strengthening themselves.

As a human with a special physique, the Void Celestials naturally attracted the attention of the Blood Sea, leading to a great battle between the two sides.

Ultimately, the Void Celestial Body was outmatched, losing after thousands of rounds of combat and ultimately dying. As for the matter of immortality, Xue Ming actually learned of its existence by absorbing the Void Celestial Body's blood and obtaining fragments of its memories.

He benefited greatly from the essence and blood of the Void Celestial Body, so what about the even stronger and rarer Taiyin Body? That's why Xue Ming deliberately came to block the path to the ultimate ancient road to obtain the essence and blood of Taiyin.

Chang Sheng closed his eyes slightly. Among the eight people who emerged from Ziwei Star, one of them was this Void Celestial Physician. Although he was weaker than Chang Sheng and the others, he could still be considered a first-rate genius on the Ancient Star Road, and he had great potential for the future, at least with the hope of becoming a quasi-emperor. But he never expected that after more than a hundred years of separation, he would be dead, and even his essence blood would become someone else's drink, and his skull would become someone else's wine cup.

Although Changsheng had long anticipated that such a thing might happen, upon actually witnessing this scene, he still felt an overwhelming surge of anger and sorrow.

Changsheng said, "Since that's the case, then you should die."

With that, he launched a fierce attack, directly targeting the Blood Moon Clan Great Saint. This massive display naturally attracted countless cultivators from other directions, including those already cultivating near the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Driven by curiosity, they came to the starry sky and looked at Changsheng and the Great Sage Xueming of the Blood Moon Clan.

The moment Changsheng made his move, Xueming was not to be outdone. An endless sea of ​​blood spread out from his body, directly engulfing the entire starry sky. It seemed capable of crushing and dissolving everything, sweeping towards Changsheng.

Changsheng formed the Taiyin Seal and directly used the power of the forbidden domain. Instantly, endless cold energy burst out of the blood sea, almost freezing the entire blood sea. Then, a heavy blow came down and shattered the blood sea.

However, this was not the true form. Xue Ming's true form emerged from the other side of the sea of ​​blood, and he was greatly shocked. This Chang Sheng's strength seemed to exceed his expectations, but he did not retreat. Instead, he strode forward to meet Chang Sheng and engaged in a fierce battle.

Although he did not master the forbidden domain, his realm was slightly higher, so he might not necessarily lose.

But clearly, he overestimated himself, or rather underestimated immortality and the significance of the forbidden realm.

Within just a few moves, Xue Ming was forced to retreat, suffering severe injuries, which filled him with fear. Were there really such terrifying human cultivators in this starry sky? Even that one...

Before Xue Ming could finish his thought, Chang Sheng unleashed another Taiyin Seal, suppressing his own natal magic weapon, the large black seal, and directly sealing off the void.

Xueming hurriedly said, "You can't kill me! I am a divine general under that lord. If you kill me, he will definitely come after you!"

Chang Sheng remained unmoved: "Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't save your life. I told you, you're going to die."

With that, he threw a punch, shattering Xue Ming into pieces.

But at this moment, a divine thought emerged from Xue Ming's body. He appeared to be humanoid, but he possessed the characteristics of a mythical beast such as the wings of a Kunpeng, the horns of a wild bull, and the armor of a Qilin, exuding an astonishing aura.

He opened his mouth and said, "Who dares to lay a hand on my general?"

Although judging from his aura, this mysterious Great Sage is clearly stronger than Xue Ming, and he may even have stepped into the forbidden realm, making him a formidable enemy of the immortal.

But Changsheng ignored him and directly used the Taiyin Divine Seal to shatter the divine thought.

"How dare you offend me like this! I'll remember you, see you on the ultimate ancient road!"

After leaving those words, the divine thought was obliterated. Then, the large black seal pressed down, completely refining Xue Ming's remains and the sea of ​​blood it had transformed into.

Changsheng picked up the skull of the Void Celestial Body and said to it, "I have avenged you. In the future, I will also avenge the blood debts of the human race. Rest in peace."
