Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 73 All Laws Connect Heaven
"Zhong Lai!"

With a loud shout from Zhulong, streams of immortal light flowed, and a celestial bell, its entire body shimmering with countless runes of law, flew out from the celestial platform of the Kunlun Immortal Body.

The bell tolled, rippling across the starry sky. Not only did the celestial bell contain the laws of time, but it could also attack the primordial spirit with its sound, making it impossible to defend against.

Although they had gained a significant advantage, seeing Liang Yu still calm and composed, Zhulong felt a sense of foreboding again. He quickly activated the Immortal Bell and pressed down on Liang Yu.

The celestial bell shone brightly, countless laws flowed, and the bell's sound boomed, almost overturning and shattering the entire mythical battlefield.

Even the five supreme beings of the Divine Ruins who had set up a net around the perimeter felt their primordial spirits become unstable and quickly distanced themselves. However, Liang Yu, who was at the center of the sound waves, remained unmoved, letting the bell toll as it did, like a solid rock that stood firm amidst a raging torrent.

The sound of the bell spread to his body, but was shattered by the power of the divine runes of law within him. Tens of thousands of years ago, he had created a protective divine light that was impervious to all laws by combining the secret of the character "Lin" with the extraordinary phenomena of his divine body.

Now he has reached a higher level, no longer needing to be deliberately activated or maintained, but only requiring the body's natural reaction to generate it, automatically defending against all attacks.

The sound of the bell reaching his Sendai could not shake his primordial spirit.

In the process of creating and using the Mystic Arts, his primordial spirit has become incredibly powerful, even containing a trace of immortal essence.

The ominous premonition in Zhulong's heart grew stronger, and he once again activated the Immortal Bell with all his might, even using the Law of Time.

The celestial bell emitted a series of humming sounds, revealing the long river of time, forming a ring around the bell, without beginning or end.

The terrifying laws of time flowed accordingly, and the five supreme beings of the Divine Ruins retreated once more, fearing they would be drawn in and have their already limited lifespans shortened. Such divine powers were absolutely unacceptable to them, given their advanced age.

Finally, Liang Yu's aging process accelerated once again. Even though he was immune to all magic, he could not withstand the time laws of the Immortal Bell.

Even more terrifying, the Immortal Bell had already fallen on Liang Yu's head, and the countless shattered voids became even more chaotic and fragile under the suppression of the Immortal Bell.

As Liang Yu watched the rapidly approaching Immortal Bell, he stretched out his right hand and unleashed a Heaven-Turning Seal.

when!
With a loud bang, the Immortal Bell was sent flying by Liang Yu's palm strike, embedding itself deeply into the already extremely unstable void, while his palm remained completely unharmed.

The Supreme Being of Ketu on the periphery was somewhat stunned. He said in disbelief, "He has already lived three lifetimes?"

He knew that even at his peak, he couldn't withstand this attack, but Liang Yu, despite the suppression of the Heavenly Net Formation, managed to knock the Immortal Bell away head-on without taking any damage. This was something that a Celestial Venerable in his later years could actually do.

Zhulong took a deep breath and said, "No, he is indeed in his second life in his later years, but he is terrifyingly strong."

Zhulong was also secretly alarmed, knowing that this was probably the biggest crisis of his life. Liang Yu's strength had once again exceeded his expectations.

Liang Yu chuckled and said, "In the past, I always offended people and was always hunted down in order to cultivate. So in order to go further, I had to plan ahead and even use some less-than-honorable means to ensure my safety. It has become a habit and I can't change it."

"You probably saw this too, which is why you've been trying to sabotage my plans in various ways. I have to admit, if it were my later years in my previous life, I probably would have been outmaneuvered by you. But now, I don't need any plans; I can break through them with my own strength."

Of course, that's what they say, and it's true, but their Kunlun Immortal Body was only recently completed. It didn't exist when Liang Yu was in his first life and later years.

Just as Zhulong summoned back the Immortal Bell, Liang Yu appeared before him.

The Heaven-Opening Seal was unleashed once more, its supreme power of creation even greater than before, as if it were about to split the entire starry sky in two.

In his haste, Zhulong used the Immortal Bell to defend himself, but another deafening roar resounded, and the Immortal Bell was once again sent flying, shattering countless star fragments and landing outside the mythical battlefield.

Then, Liang Yu struck down the Kunlun Immortal Seal, and countless dragon vein immortal lights intertwined, transforming into an unparalleled immortal mountain, whose astonishing power was enough to overwhelm all the heavens.

"You actually used my moves against me!" Zhulong roared in fury, unleashing his own Kunlun Immortal Seal to meet the attack head-on. Countless beams of immortal light swirled, yet they did not create much of a spectacle. The world-destroying power was condensed into a single point, without the slightest waste.

But this time, they were no longer evenly matched.

Zhulong lost control of his body and was involuntarily forced to retreat. This attack caused slight cracks to appear within Kunlun Immortal's body, while Liang Yu remained unharmed.

But what unsettled him most was that Liang Yu's Kunlun Immortal Seal seemed to be no less powerful than his own.

How is that possible? The supreme divine power that the ten supreme beings jointly deduced and perfected could not possibly be inferior to something that Liang Yu imitated alone.
He hadn't even had any in-depth contact with Kunlun Immortal Mountain, so how could he have such a high level of expertise in the Kunlun Immortal Seal? After all, the Kunlun Immortal Seal was essentially an evolution of the internal laws of Kunlun Immortal Mountain; how could it be obtained out of thin air?

Liang Yu pressed his advantage relentlessly, pressing forward once more. Zhulong was terrified, but could only do his best to fight back.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged hundreds of blows, each one imbued with the power of the Kunlun Immortal Seal. The mythical battlefield was ravaged by the aftershocks, and if this continued, it would become a dangerous place. After all, the area was filled with turbulent void currents caused by the shattering of the starry sky.

The more Zhulong fought, the more alarmed he became. Liang Yu was actually replicating the essence of the Kunlun Immortal Seal he was using, and even developing variations that none of the ten of them had been able to comprehend.

Despite the five supreme beings, including Jidu, constantly activating the Heavenly Net during this process, they were still unable to suppress Liang Yu. Or rather, even under the suppression of the great formation, Liang Yu was still able to unleash combat power far beyond imagination.

In the high-speed clash, Zhulong began to struggle to breathe, after all, even though the Kunlun Immortal Body he controlled possessed the combat power of a Heavenly Emperor, he himself was not a Heavenly Emperor.

Although he achieved a near-equal level with the Heavenly Emperor in terms of divine abilities and techniques by relying on the combined efforts of many to deduce the perfect compatibility between the Kunlun Immortal Seal and the Kunlun Immortal Body, his realm and combat awareness had not yet reached that level.

If the Immortal Bell were present, he could compensate for his shortcomings by perfectly resonating with the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the Kunlun Immortal Blood, and the time laws he had comprehended.

But Liang Yu seemed to have realized this. His attack just now released all its power in one direction, directly knocking the Immortal Bell away from the battlefield, thus fully exposing his weakness.

Fortunately, he finally waited for the return of the celestial bell.

He unleashed the Kunlun Immortal Seal with all his might towards Liang Yu, while secretly manipulating the Immortal Bell to attack him from behind.

Amidst the burst of boundless immortal light, two unparalleled divine powers struck Liang Yu simultaneously.

But at that very moment, the divine runes of law on Liang Yu's body changed rapidly, dazzling everyone. Suddenly, thousands upon thousands of arms extended from Liang Yu's body, each hand displaying a supreme realm of Daoist magic, encompassing everything.

But it was only for a fleeting moment, so brief that even Zhulong doubted his own eyes, before the arms returned to Liang Yu's body, as if this scene had never existed. An astonishing aura was brewing within Liang Yu's old body, about to break free.

At this moment, Liang Yu formed a brand new divine power, the Myriad Laws Profound Seal. Under the influence of the Divine Emperor's Phenomenon, which had already been integrated into Liang Yu's body, although Liang Yu only made one move, both the Candle Dragon in front of him and the Immortal Bell behind him were struck by this seal.

The celestial bell was once again knocked away, deeply embedded in the void. Tiny cracks appeared on the bell's body, and the originally mysterious celestial light and runes dimmed considerably.

This supernatural power was absolutely the most profound thing Zhulong had ever seen in his life. The myriad laws of this world are complex and diverse, belonging to different realms, and are inherently incompatible with each other.

However, this supernatural power is all-encompassing, with various similar, opposite, or unrelated laws coexisting harmoniously, transforming and reinforcing each other, and together weaving together to form a supreme supernatural power that takes "complexity" to the extreme, yet is flawless.

Zhulong staggered back several steps, a series of explosive sounds emanating from his body. This attack even damaged Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and the ten supreme beings were also severely injured.

He stared intently at Liang Yu and asked, "What kind of Dao Fruit is this?"

"All laws connect to the heavens."
