Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 771 Breakthrough
The Spirit Emperor's attainment of enlightenment and disappearance did not cause any ripples in the human universe. Compared to the God Emperor, it was even more silent than the Source God.

After all, the enlightenment of the Source God caused different alien sources to begin to emerge in various parts of the human universe, and the source is a cultivation resource that is used by low and mid-level cultivators. Naturally, the impact is far-reaching and visible to the naked eye.

Of course, the Spirit Emperor's attainment of enlightenment was not entirely without impact. After his Dao aura was recorded in the human universe through the Heavenly Heart Mark, the probability of a Holy Spirit manifesting from innate essence in the human universe increased considerably.

With the Spirit Emperor as a pioneer as a reference, their physical forms would become more perfect.

However, the probability of this type of Holy Spirit being born is much lower than that of the Stone Spirit, so this influence may only be discovered when looking back at history hundreds of thousands of years later; it will not be noticed now.

Ten thousand years after the Spirit Emperor disappeared, his Dao imprint gradually faded, and a new era began.

During this period, the activity of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth rebounded, giving rise to a more glorious era than the era of the Origin God and the Spirit Emperor.

In this era, whenever the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is active, the bloodlines of all races in the universe are amplified, making it easier to give birth to individuals with extremely powerful bloodline power. This era is no exception.

Deep in the universe, a golden-winged roc was born.

As the most important force among the demon race, the Peng race has always maintained an extremely powerful state. Although no emperor has ever been born, its overall strength is still extremely formidable.

However, they have many branches in various parts of the universe, and their power is relatively dispersed, so they have not become a unified race.

However, this is quite normal. After all, the Peng clan has a long history, and the various forces in different parts of the universe can be traced back to different ancestors, so it is naturally difficult for them to unite. They obviously prefer to be one with the demon clans in various places.

In this lifetime, there was a Golden-Winged Roc whose bloodline power was terrifyingly strong, perhaps not seen for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. This made this Roc clan feel extremely fortunate.

After all, if this Golden-Winged Roc can attain enlightenment, then they will become the royal family of all Roc clans in the human universe, greatly enhancing their overall strength.

Therefore, this golden-winged roc received the highest level of training from the moment it was born.

As he grew and began his cultivation journey, he displayed terrifying talent. Thus, this golden-winged roc rose rapidly to become the rising star of the local demon race.

This golden-winged roc was fierce and warlike by nature. From the very beginning of his cultivation, he fought with others everywhere, making him a veritable war maniac. It can be said that all his fame was earned through battle.

After defeating all his rivals in his homeland, this golden-winged roc set its sights on other neighboring ancient stars.

During his interactions with other ancient stars, he won a series of victories, constantly improving his skills and gaining a formidable reputation.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, the scope of challenges he faced also expanded.

During this process, he came into contact with the demon race of the ancient star Gouchen and learned about the Myriad Demon Cave left behind by Emperor Li. Within this perilous place, Emperor Xuanwu and Emperor Baihu had both laid out their plans and left behind their legacies. These three emperors were all renowned figures in the history of the demon race, and the Golden-Winged Roc naturally did not want to miss their trials and inheritances. After all, the Roc race's heritage was still far inferior to that of the three emperors. If he could obtain their inheritances, the Golden-Winged Roc would surely reach a higher level, gain a deeper foundation, and accumulate more resources for the future.

Of course, there is another important reason why the Golden-Winged Roc did this: all the young and powerful members of the Gouchen Demon Clan are going to participate in this grand event. If he can also join in, he can have the opportunity to fight against these geniuses and unleash the fighting spirit he has been accumulating.

The Gouchen Demon Clan has a long history and profound heritage. Its influence is naturally not limited to the ancient star Gouchen. It is quite normal for it to have connections with demon clans in other regions. Therefore, although the participants in the Wan Yao Cave Trial are mainly local demon clan prodigies, there are also demon clan forces from other regions participating.

The demon clan behind the Golden-Winged Roc is also one of the demon clan forces that the Gouchen Demon Clan seeks to cooperate with, so he can naturally obtain an opportunity to participate in the trial through certain exchanges of benefits.

Since no demon cultivator had obtained the inheritance of three emperors in tens of thousands of years, the Gouchen demon clan, although they knew that this Golden-Winged Roc had exceptional talent, still did not take him seriously.

After all, how easy is it for a demon to gain the approval of three emperors? This is something only a true emperor could achieve.

Although the demon clan behind the Golden-Winged Roc is not weak, it is still far inferior to the Gouchen demon clan. Their prodigies are merely outnumbered by the enemy, how could they possibly compare to the prodigies of the Gouchen demon clan?

Because of this arrogance, the Gouchen demon clan agreed to give him a spot without even bothering to find out what kind of demon the Golden-Winged Roc was. Furthermore, they took this opportunity to extort a hefty sum, offering extremely unreasonable conditions.

It was precisely because of this arrogance that they missed the opportunity to win over a future emperor.

After learning all this, the Golden-Winged Roc did not experience any particularly negative emotions. Instead, his fighting spirit intensified, and he developed a burning ambition to crush all these demon prodigies under his feet.

After the trial began, the Golden-Winged Roc even put aside the matter of breaking through the formation to hone himself and obtain the inheritance and divine treasures within, and made challenging other demon races his primary goal.

In this situation, countless demon prodigies were defeated by the Golden-Winged Roc before they could reach their limits in the Demon Cave, losing all their spirit.

If the gap is small, they can try again with the help of the Demon Cave even if they lose. But if the gap is too big, they will not be able to find any way to catch up.

After all, judging from the performance of this golden-winged roc, it might have a chance to penetrate to the deepest part and obtain the inheritance of those three emperors, in which case the gap between them would only be greater.

The Golden-Winged Roc fought its way into the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, winning battle after battle. In the end, even the strongest among these demon prodigies avoided it and dared not confront it.

Under these circumstances, the Golden-Winged Roc focused its energy on venturing into the Demon Cave to hone its skills.

After a series of adventures, the Golden-Winged Roc successfully reached the deepest part of the world, where three paths appeared before him, leading to the Power Emperor, the Black Tortoise Emperor, and the White Tiger Emperor, respectively.

Without much hesitation, he rushed into the path leading to the Emperor of Power, successfully crossed all the checkpoints, and arrived at the core blood pool to begin his baptism.
