Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 594 Killing
Before coming to the God Clan, Changsheng's impression of the God Clan was that they were only slightly worse than the Overlord Body lineage. He thought he could patiently reform them and win them over with relatively gentle methods, so that they could return to the human race.

However, upon actually meeting these quasi-emperors of the divine race, Changsheng still couldn't suppress his anger. Especially after one of the quasi-emperors mentioned the human slaves, Changsheng's rage intensified, and he directly attacked them with deadly force.

After seeing from his memories that some members of the God Clan were involved in the buying and selling of human slaves with the Ancient Clan, Changsheng completely abandoned the appeasement methods he had previously planned to use and chose to strike hard.

These quasi-emperors of the divine race who colluded with the ancient race must die, even if it means falling out with the divine race and completely siding with the beast god.

Seeing that Changsheng's Yin energy was about to kill this quasi-emperor, the other quasi-emperors of the divine race immediately said, "Stop! If you kill him, you will be making a great enmity with our divine race, and there will be no possibility of a peaceful resolution."

Changsheng raised his hand and projected the scene he had extracted from the memories of this quasi-emperor of the God Clan onto the sky above the God Clan's ancestral star, saying, "Good? I originally only wanted to take Xiao Ran away, and discuss other matters later. But now, your God Clan has actually colluded with the Ancient Clan to buy and sell my human people as slaves."

Do you think there's any chance this matter can be resolved amicably?

Changsheng took a light step and crushed the primordial spirit of the divine race's quasi-emperor, who was slowly collapsing in agony under the corrosive power of Taiyin, with a single stomp. He said, "Four of you were also involved in this. I promise you, I will make you suffer a terrible death. This is my promise as the Human Emperor."

Upon seeing these images reflected in the sky, the seven quasi-emperors, who had no connection with the ancient race and simply hoped that the gods would establish themselves, were greatly shocked.

They looked at the remaining four quasi-emperors in disbelief and said, "How could you do such a thing? Emperor Ming left a will that even if we do not assimilate with the human race, we should still maintain good relations with them. How dare you disobey Emperor Ming's decree?"

When the four quasi-emperors saw that this matter had been directly exposed by Changsheng, their expressions became uncertain, and they felt a sense of panic.

One of the quasi-emperors said, "Things have come to this point, and we have nothing more to say. Now, we have offended him badly, and we can only go down this dark path. Do you think that if you let them kill us, he will become closer to the gods? As long as he attains enlightenment, our gods will still have no future, at least the independence of the gods that you want will be impossible."

Another potential emperor said, "Yes, everyone, with a formidable enemy at hand, we should kill him first, and then discuss the sins of the four of us. At that time, we will accept our punishment."

Chang Sheng spoke up at the opportune moment: "What crimes did you accuse Xiao Ran of? Colluding with the human race and harming the interests of the gods? Then I wonder which of these people's actions is more serious, Xiao Ran's or the others'?"

One of the seven quasi-emperors said, "No matter how guilty they are, that is a matter for my divine race. My divine race can deal with them, but I cannot let you kill them."

Changsheng said, "That's great. If someone from my human race commits a crime, I would definitely prefer that it be dealt with by someone from my human race, rather than having an outsider carry out the execution."

"So I can understand you, but they still have to die. I want to see if you can protect them."

After saying that, the black seal above Changsheng's head disappeared and transformed into an extremely large innate Dao diagram, which contained all the mysteries of the Ziwei Star Guardian Array. It was as if it wanted to suppress and control all the laws of this ancient star of the gods.

With this Dao diagram present, the Minghuang Grand Array would be hindered from functioning smoothly. However, Changsheng, who had mastered the "Travel" secret, could move freely between the array's gaps. The four quasi-emperors shuddered under Changsheng's icy gaze, feeling themselves locked onto by a terrifying aura, their lives constantly in danger.

The eleven quasi-emperors immediately converged, activating the twelve great formations within the ancestral star of the divine race, along with the outermost protective formation. In the sky, an unparalleled divine court slowly took shape, with countless gods residing within, transforming into a divine kingdom. This great formation actually materialized the divine physical phenomenon—the Eternal Divine Kingdom—that Emperor Ming had mastered when comprehending the Ancient Scripture of Divine Transformation, and pressed down upon Changsheng.

Compared to the gods that appear in the sky, which are larger than mountains and stars, and the divine kingdoms that resemble vast worlds, immortality is undoubtedly insignificant.

But he stood tall and unmoved, small yet towering and indestructible. The innate Dao diagram above his head, formed from a large black seal, grew with the wind, becoming incomparably vast, and clashed violently with this eternal divine kingdom, engaging in a tug-of-war.

He himself stepped on the Xingzi Secret and soared into the sky again. With his left hand he used the Human Dao Divine Fist and with his right hand he used the Taiyin Divine Seal. As if entering an empty land, he shattered the illusory images of gods in the divine kingdom one by one.

Soon, another array was briefly broken by Changsheng. The quasi-emperor of the divine race was eroded by Changsheng's Yin power, gradually losing his life essence, turning into a dried corpse, and finally becoming dust, which was carried away by the wind.

Changsheng said, "I told you, I would make sure they die a horrible death."

Seeing that the power of the immortals and the profound mystery of the Dao diagram transformed from the black seal far exceeded their expectations, these quasi-emperors of the divine race immediately used their ultimate means to directly summon the shadow of the Bright Emperor.

The phantom figure waved his hand, and the divine spear rose from the ground and fell into his hand. A powerful aura emanated from it, as if the Ming Emperor had been reborn.

Changsheng showed no fear and released his own aura to confront him.

Thus, just like Xin Lang, this phantom used the great divine power of Annihilation Divine Punishment, concentrating its power to throw out the divine spear, using this spear of annihilation to kill Chang Sheng.

The laws of longevity and Yin transformed into a black full moon that fell heavily. Instantly, an extremely terrifying conflict erupted between the two forces, causing the entire ancestral star of the gods to tremble. In an instant, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, as if it were about to be shattered.

After a long while, the divine light dissipated, and the illusory figure of the Emperor Ming gradually vanished. The ten Quasi-Emperors lay helplessly on the ground, their essence damaged by the backlash, making it difficult for them to regain their mobility for a time.

As for Changsheng, the divine light released by the divine spear pierced directly through his chest. The terrifying power, originating from the blood hole, attempted to destroy his body, but it was firmly restricted by the power of Taiyin and could not spread.

This clash was almost a lose-lose situation. These quasi-emperors of the divine race were unable to activate the Bright Emperor Formation in a short time, and they themselves were also seriously injured, while Changsheng was pierced through the chest and even suffered a Dao injury as a result.

Changsheng absorbed the Dao diagram transformed from the black seal into his body, and immediately endless divine light intertwined, gradually erasing the various laws and divine power remaining in his body.

While using the "Zhe" secret technique to continuously heal his injuries, Changsheng walked towards the three quasi-emperors of the divine race. With a light tap of his finger, three streams of Taiyin power immediately poured into their bodies, causing them to slowly die like the two previous quasi-emperors of the divine race.
