Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 83 Pagoda Suppresses the Holy Spirit

After Long Xiaotian left, Liang Yu turned his gaze to the Xuanqiong Ancient Star.

Although the ancient star Xuanqiong no longer has any nascent Holy Spirits, the Dao traces that accelerate the evolution of Holy Spirits still exist, and more Holy Spirits will be born sooner or later.

After all, even a flawed Holy Spirit born prematurely can accelerate its evolution here.

However, Liang Yu had no intention of destroying these Dao traces. He came here only to take away the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain for his own research.

Liang Yu stretched out his right hand, which transformed into a giant hand that covered the sky, covering the sky above the Xuanqiong Ancient Star. This hand was like a curtain that blocked out the sky, and its five fingers were like pillars supporting the sky, almost as if it were holding the ancient star in its palm.

With a downward strike, the sacred mountain of Xuanqiong Ancient Star, towering into the clouds and connecting to the heavens, was grasped in its hand. Countless array patterns and laws flickered within the sacred mountain, attempting to protect itself, but all vanished without a trace under the immense power of this giant hand.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the sacred mountain was ripped from the ground, leaving a massive crater. Only the remaining traces of earth energy indicated that a supreme sacred mountain once stood here.

Liang Yu placed the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain into the divine kingdom of his other hand, placing it side by side with the shattered Kunlun Immortal Mountain in his palm.

There are still some immortal gold and sacred medicines in this Xuanqiong Divine Mountain, which the holy spirits probably didn't have time to take with them when they left in their haste.

Most of these immortal golds were already owned by Liang Yu, but one piece radiated countless brilliant lights, as if intangible light had gathered together. This was the Bright White Gold, one of the two types of immortal golds that Liang Yu had failed to obtain.

It seems that the day when all nine kinds of immortal gold are collected may be coming soon.

Then, Liang Yu waved his hand, and the Heavenly Heart Mark trembled slightly. The law that suppressed non-holy beings on the Xuanqiong Ancient Star was erased, and the ancient star shuddered.

This suppression arose from the alteration of the laws of heaven and earth when one or more supreme beings of the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land passed away. Now, Liang Yu has once again put it back on track, allowing all life to grow freely without any bias.

The six Holy Spirits who escaped seemed to know that they could not escape Liang Yu's pursuit, so they simply dispersed the remaining Holy Spirits in the sacred mountain to various places and set up means to protect them, while they themselves did not spend much effort to hide.

Therefore, it seems that even without Long Xiaotian, the Heaven-Mending Technique would still be passed down among these unborn holy spirits, and the probability of its transmission being cut off is very low.

Liang Yu certainly had no intention of eliminating them completely, but these six Great Perfection Holy Spirits could not be spared. They had already committed countless atrocities, and now it was time for them to pay with their lives.

Then, a flash of divine light appeared above his head, and the six golden pagodas materialized. Liang Yu formed hand seals, and countless runes appeared. Under his divine power, the six pagodas shone brightly with immortal light, each tearing through the void and flying off to different parts of the universe.

The auras of these six holy spirits had already been locked onto by Liang Yu, leaving them with no way to escape. However, since they had not yet attained enlightenment, it would be too lenient for Liang Yu to personally pursue and kill them. Therefore, Liang Yu simply used the pagoda to lock onto them and suppress them.

The Immortal Golden Pagodas soared into the sky and soon each found a Holy Spirit.

Of these six holy spirits, four were stone men who had reached the Great Perfection stage and transformed into flesh and blood, one was interrupted midway and could only painstakingly repair the Heavenly Repair Technique to return to perfection, and the last one was still a manifestation of innate essence like Long Xiaotian, but a fierce tiger with wings growing from its ribs.

Seeing the dragon-patterned black and gold pagoda that had torn through the void before him, the Flying Tiger Holy Spirit roared in fury, "Boundless Heavenly Venerable, you are far too arrogant! If you were here in your true form, I would naturally surrender. You think you can kill me from afar with just a pagoda? Shatter it!"

With that, he flapped his wings and swooped down towards the pagoda. A divine wind swept in, scattering stars across the sky. Wherever his claws passed, they left wisps of scratches in the void.

The black and gold dragon-patterned pagoda shone brightly, accompanied by the roars of dragons and the howls of the Flying Tiger Holy Spirit. The Flying Tiger Holy Spirit struck the pagoda with its claw, but only managed to slightly deflect it. Immediately, countless black dragons flew out from the pagoda, tightly binding the Flying Tiger Holy Spirit. Streams of divine light flashed, condensing into countless runes, which refined the Flying Tiger Holy Spirit into ashes.

The pagoda trembled slightly, and a phantom appeared on its body, with wings sprouting from its ribs, exuding the aura of a tiger that could subdue the world.

The second Holy Spirit was blocked by the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda. Under the illumination of the emerald green divine light, the stone Holy Spirit was frozen in place. The light flowed like tears and water, and under its influence, the stone Holy Spirit was ground into dust.

The third Holy Spirit was blocked by the Eternal Blue-Gold Pagoda. Blue light flashed, and divine rays seemed to freeze time and space, making it eternally unchanging. This Holy Spirit was unable to move and was brutally suppressed, reduced to a bloody pulp.

The fourth Holy Spirit was blocked by the Ruyi Orange-Gold Pagoda. Countless orange divine lights flashed, and the pagoda body twisted and deformed, turning into a flat, thin sheet. The Holy Spirit cleaved it open like a sharp blade, and then continued to transform into a disc, crushing it into a pool of blood foam.

The fifth Holy Spirit was blocked by the Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda. Countless purple divine lights flashed, gathering the Dao Marks of Heaven and Earth, and condensing into several figures. Their forms were clearly those of the Supreme Beings killed by Liang Yu. These figures stepped forward one by one, and the imprints formed by countless Dao Marks fell, turning the Holy Spirit into dust.

Finally, there was the Holy Spirit who, after being interrupted, restored himself to perfection using the Heaven-Mending Technique. Standing beside an ancient star of life, he resolutely unleashed a powerful divine power capable of destroying galaxies upon it.

He laughed wildly, "Wuji, how dare you be so arrogant as to try to stop me with just a pagoda? Then I'll just have to drag some people down with me."

This holy spirit was dug out of the ground and nearly dismembered. After escaping with his life, he learned the art of mending the heavens and successfully defied fate.

Therefore, he was filled with hatred for life in this world. Since he was already doomed to die, he would take as many lives as possible with him.

All life on the ancient star was crushed to the ground by this terrifying aura, their faces filled with despair as they faced their deaths.

At that moment, a rumbling thunderclap resounded. A golden pagoda, symbolizing tribulation, hung high in the heavens, tearing through the void to block this divine power. This power, capable of destroying galaxies, struck the pagoda, yet only dimmed its divine light slightly.

Then, countless golden lightning bolts erupted from the tower, as if the might of heaven had descended upon the world, acting on behalf of the heavens to punish. This holy spirit was struck by this lightning, which seemed to be a divine punishment, and instantly turned into ashes.

Admittedly, this wasn't solely due to the pagoda's power; it also included Liang Yu's divine ability to unleash the power of immortal gold and the Heavenly Venerable's mark. Even so, the sheer terror of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable—able to annihilate a Perfected Holy Spirit across the endless starry sky—once again deeply shocked countless cultivators.

The six pagodas did not turn back, but continued to emanate boundless divine power. A wave of overwhelming divine thoughts swept across the universe, and then dozens of divine lights flew out from the six pagodas, striking the quasi-saint level, unfulfilled holy spirits who had escaped from the Xuanqiong Divine Mountain.

These holy spirits were also filled with the bloodthirsty aura that only comes from mass slaughtering living beings. But even though they escaped into the depths of the starry sky, Liang Yu was still able to find them with his powerful divine sense and, with the help of the pagoda, traversed the endless starry sky and killed them all.

During this process, the invincible power and immense momentum spread throughout the universe, and the name of the Limitless Heavenly Venerable once again resounded in the starry sky.

Liang Yu disregarded the further increase in the power of faith. Although he hadn't completely eradicated the unborn Holy Spirits, it was still necessary to leave some as a precaution.

So he drew out another killing intent and sealed it into the Tower of Creation.

Next, it's time to go to the Divine Ruins.
