Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 598 War Beast God

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. The day of the duel between Changsheng and the Beast God has finally arrived.

During these twenty years, with the addition of the gods' army, the human race began to gain the upper hand, continuously recovering lost territory and forcing many ancient races to retreat. Some ancient races were even forced to betray the ancient race alliance and join the human race under pressure.

Surprisingly, the top clans in the ancient alliance did not put up a fierce resistance. Instead, they began to shrink back and even gave up the large amount of benefits they had previously gained.

Changsheng naturally knew this; they were waiting for the final battle between him and the Beast God. For an emperor, these minor setbacks were insignificant. As long as the Beast God could defeat Changsheng and attain enlightenment, everything the human race had previously gained would have to be repaid.

If the immortals were to win, they would reduce conflict, making it easier for them to remain low-key and avoid the calamity of extermination in the future.

For these ancient and profound families, nothing is more important than the continuation of their lineage.

During these years, Changsheng did not devote himself to cultivation or travel around to gain experience. Instead, he returned to an ordinary life, spending time with his family and friends, and directing and coordinating the human alliance's attack on the ancient race, strategizing and winning battles from afar.

Throughout the entire process, Changsheng himself did not make any moves, but only lent out his large black seal as a symbol of himself.

After all, the name of the Human Emperor has resounded throughout the human universe. Although Changsheng did not intentionally spread his faith, a large amount of faith power still gathered around him.

Therefore, Changsheng poured all the power of faith he had acquired into this black seal and named it the Human Emperor Seal.

A faint hope arose in Changsheng's heart. He wanted to refine this great seal into a treasure for the entire human race, using it as the supreme authority to rule the human race. Holding this seal would allow him to rule the human race and become its supreme ruler.

Therefore, he needed this great seal to no longer belong solely to him, but to the Human Emperor. If any future human ruler were to become Human Emperor, he too should possess this seal and command the human race.

Therefore, during this period, Changsheng also refined the immortal gold he had obtained, turning it into a weapon embryo, preparing to forge another powerful weapon after the great battle with the Beast God, as his personal treasure for proving his Dao.

Under his deliberate guidance, the Human Emperor Seal began to collect more and more faith power and spontaneously began to slowly evolve.

The essence of faith power that should have gathered into a humanoid divine embryo was instead concentrated within the Human Emperor Seal, giving this great seal a faint aura of immortality. Its deity also began to change, becoming more agile and powerful, and even its appearance began to differ from that of the immortal.

If this continues, the seal might actually become what Changsheng desires. However, it will certainly take a long time.

When the decisive battle arrived, Changsheng summoned back the Emperor's Seal and headed towards the mythical battlefield at the edge of the universe.

Changsheng sat quietly in the mythical battlefield, the Emperor's Seal hanging above his head, cascading down auspicious energy and celestial light. Countless human figures converged into a torrent of humanity surrounding the Emperor's Seal, making the desolate universe come alive.

As time went by, many top experts from the human universe gathered outside the Mythical Battlefield. Although they dared not enter the Mythical Battlefield to observe it up close, they could still sense its presence at the edge of the battlefield.

In a secluded corner unnoticed by anyone, Xin Lingxiao, who had broken through his shackles and achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way, quietly arrived at the edge of the battlefield to watch the battle. However, to his surprise, Xuanhuang, Wuqi, and Fantian, who had previously been elusive, also came to watch the battle.

Judging from their aura, they must have suppressed themselves, just like me, and entered a different realm of enlightenment.

Finally, a figure, stirring up cosmic winds that swept across vast swathes of space, roared in. It was none other than the Beast God, who was flying at breakneck speed through the universe, flapping the wings of a Kunpeng.

In an instant, the Beast God entered the mythical battlefield. The gale he created blew away several quasi-emperors watching from the edge of the battlefield, leaving them weak and paralyzed, unable to resist. The Beast God rushed directly to Changsheng before stopping abruptly. A terrifying cosmic gale howled in, like a raging torrent sweeping across the universe.

Changsheng remained unmoved; the fierce winds, powerful enough to shatter the boundless starry sky, were like a gentle breeze brushing against a mountain ridge to him, having no effect whatsoever.

Changsheng said, "You've come."

The Beast God said, "This battle is crucial for us, how can I not come? As long as I defeat you, I have full confidence in my ultimate leap."

Chang Sheng said, "Is it enough to just defeat me?"

The Beast God said, "That's enough. Xin Lingxiao is your defeated opponent. The other three have mysterious origins and may just be some old things who have rebuilt their cultivation. They don't belong to this world at all. As long as I defeat you, I will be invincible for this lifetime, and I can also take this opportunity to advance further and trigger the great tribulation of proving the Dao."

"Moreover, if I can make the ultimate leap and become an emperor first, it only means that they have already fallen behind, so why should I wait for them?"

"My goal is to attain enlightenment and become an immortal. I have nothing else to do with it. You have too many concerns about immortality."

Changsheng said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but a person's life is more meaningful if they leave something behind."

The Beast God said, "Chang Sheng, you are also a seeker of the Dao, yet you are trapped by worldly affairs. Don't you find it a pity?"

Chang Sheng said, "Perhaps after I achieve my goal, I will also wholeheartedly pursue the Dao, making immortality my first and only goal. But not now."

The Beast God said, "Since that's the case, then make your move. I will remember you and learn from your mistake."

Changsheng said, "But I will not miss you."

Two streams of energy surged forth, colliding violently and instantly pulverizing countless shattered ancient stars, meteorites, and ancient corpses and artifacts of unknown age in the mythical battlefield.

The Beast God said, "Now that you've taken this step, I have nothing to worry about."

In their accumulation before the ultimate leap, both Changsheng and the Beast God realized that there was still a limit to their progress. To continue to advance, they needed an alternative path to enlightenment.

In order to gain a deeper foundation and to defeat their opponents, both Changsheng and the Beast God chose to suppress themselves and achieve enlightenment in an unconventional way, so as to gain more room for progress.

After roughly judging the opponent's strength from the evenly matched performance when their energies collided, Changsheng went all out from the start, wielding the Human Dao Divine Fist with one hand and evolving the Taiyin Law with the other, unleashing his most extreme burst of power.

The Beast God had anticipated this. The grudges between them had been brewing for a long time, and now was the perfect moment to settle the score and take a further step. He also wielded the Myriad Beast God Fist, simultaneously unleashing the innate divine powers of various races to jointly construct a flawless Beast God body.

The collision of these two forces caused turmoil in the mythical battlefield, shocking the cultivators of various races who were watching from the sidelines.
