He quickly composed himself and looked toward the imperial palace where the four enlightened beings were located.

During this period, all four venerable ones awoke from their enlightenment one after another. Each of them gained many benefits. Although they were still far from breaking through to the Dao, their cultivation had greatly improved. Although they were still at the quasi-ninth level, they had already achieved intangible Dao fruits. Their understanding of the Great Dao had increased dramatically, laying a solid foundation for breaking into the Imperial Dao realm.

"In this world, how can one break through barriers and attain enlightenment without battle? And if one wants to make the greatest progress in battle, who else but a stronger version of oneself can achieve it?"

A divine light flashed between Li Wangxian's brows, and a divine technique was transmitted to the minds of the four.

It was a divine technique whose effects were so extraordinary that it immediately caused the four Venerables to show their astonishment.

This divine technique can summon a future self to fight to the death with their present self, allowing cultivators to undergo the most powerful trials.

This is simply too outrageous!

Although Li Wangxian had used this method in the Battle of Beidou, the four Venerables still couldn't imagine that it could be passed on to others so casually.

This method alone requires an astonishing mastery of the Great Dao of Time and Space; otherwise, how could it be so defying the heavens?

However, as they began to comprehend the technique, the four gradually realized that this divine art was merely a trigger. Using their "Dao Self" as a guide and the laws of time and space as a guiding principle, in order to truly summon their future selves, Li Wangxian would still need to unleash that forbidden divine power.

However, this makes sense. If such a heaven-defying forbidden divine power could be mastered so easily, it wouldn't have terrified even the supreme beings in the forbidden zones.

Half a day later, because it was only a scripture guide, although it was very complicated and profound, the four venerable ones were all extraordinary figures, and they quickly comprehended the method.

Then, in the imperial palace, the four formed a hand seal, and a strange power surged forth, the aura of time overwhelming and engulfing the imperial palace.

"when……"

Li Wangxian appeared, and the Chaos Bell above his head rang, shaking the ripples of time and space. With a boom, the River of Time and Space was blasted open, and a mark jumped out, transforming into a Heavenly Emperor, tearing through the mist of time and space, and fixing the River of Time and Space.

Then, four figures, like gods and Buddhas, emerged from the long river, walking against the tides of time towards the present world, exuding an aura of unparalleled power and immense strength.

Those were the "Dao Self" bodies of the four deities, truly combined with the future Dao Fruit, coming against the tide of the world.

"Enjoy it!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Wangxian unleashed a surge of divine light and unleashed the overwhelming laws of space, creating a vast starry sky within the imperial palace that enveloped the four beings and their future selves.

"Truly, such astonishingly powerful methods that make even the immortals weep!" The Yellow Emperor's eyes narrowed, and his fighting spirit surged forth.

"Indeed, his supernatural powers are boundless!" Lao Tzu flicked his whisk, his usually aloof expression no longer indifferent.

Shennong and Shakyamuni were naturally startled, but they quickly revealed their burning fighting spirit.

What is it like to wage war against your future self? What kind of spiritual attainment will your future self have achieved?

boom!

Divine light erupted, and chaos surged. At this moment, the four Venerables finally understood what that experience was like.

Almost immediately after the first exchange, the four were bleeding profusely. The future body showed no mercy, and its overwhelming Dao principles surged, causing the four to suffer heavy losses as soon as they clashed. If their imperial bodies had not been so extraordinary, they would have been shattered.

"Having been able to comprehend the Dao at the origin of the universe and in the Imperial Palace, how could you not be powerful ten years from now?"

In the distance, Li Wangxian wore a satisfied smile.

In this way, in the best place for enlightenment in the entire universe, in the most terrifying battle, he did not believe that with the talents of the four Venerables, they would not be able to achieve enlightenment in a few decades.

Rumble!

Inside the imperial palace, in the newly opened starry sky, four figures were severely beaten because they were another version of themselves.

They possess divine arts, combat experience, and their future selves will also have them; moreover, their Dao attainment will surpass their current level.

In this world, in a fierce battle where both sides are evenly matched, the strongest opponent is not necessarily oneself, but rather a version of oneself from a different time and space.

Of course, what's even more terrifying is that it's from a future timeline, a more powerful version of yourself.

Therefore, although this battle lasted only half an hour, the four almost perished. If it weren't for the invisible imperial chasm blocking their way, which made their future selves only slightly stronger, they might have been beaten to death.

Because those future incarnations were really ruthless, even someone as serene as Lao Tzu couldn't stop staring at his future incarnations.

Chapter 554 Taboo

Time flies, regardless of human will; in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

In the past thirty years, nothing major has happened in the world, but the golden age recognized by enlightened beings throughout history has changed, becoming somewhat dull and silent.

Clearly, there are many outstanding talents emerging, with all kinds of extraordinary physiques and bloodlines. Furthermore, many ancient princes who had been sealed away have broken out of their origins. The ancient star road is a place where all races compete. It should have been a place of fierce competition and breathtaking excitement.

However... the ancient road to the stars still exists, and heroes still vie for supremacy, but it lacks that intense atmosphere of passionate fervor and unwavering determination.

It's all because no one has the confidence to fight for the throne!

There is only one immortal in the world, high above all, dominating the nine heavens and ten earths, making all the geniuses of the universe feel sad and heartbroken.

Therefore, the ancient star road where all races fought for supremacy seemed somewhat lifeless.

Of course, there are occasional exceptions.

"The Human Race's Sacred Body is invincible! It created the Heavenly Emperor Fist, crushing geniuses and sweeping across all realms in the depths of the ancient road. No one can stop it!"

"It's terrifying. The young masters of the Golden Serpent Clan, the young prodigy of the Holy Spirit Clan with royal blood, the Earth Corpse, the Devouring Beast, the descendant of the ancient gods and demons... each of them was a genius, and they were all killed."

Even though he is now a peerless genius who no longer aspires to achieve enlightenment, the astonishing news that another person has stepped into the forbidden realm still spread throughout the starry sky.

Because the Holy Body had already broken through the divine barrier when it fought against humans in its early years, and now it has stepped into the forbidden realm again, this is a tangible manifestation of true imperial potential.

Moreover, his outstanding record is very convincing and hard to ignore.

"He is truly powerful and has the potential to achieve enlightenment, but unfortunately, there is a banished immortal in this world who was born in the same era as him. This is the greatest misfortune!"

Some people sighed, saying that no one would object to the idea that someone who can step into the forbidden realm has a chance to become an emperor, because the final battleground is always for such people, and the best among them will inevitably become emperors. There are too many such examples throughout history.

"The Holy Body is indeed unfortunate. This kind of physique is not suitable for achieving the Dao. Once it reaches the Great Perfection, it can challenge the Great Emperor. Judging from the aura of the Ye Xing Holy Body, reaching the Great Perfection is almost inevitable, allowing it to enjoy a unique path to heaven!" someone said with great envy.

This statement brought people back to their senses, and the news quickly spread throughout the starry sky. No one could underestimate a future Great Accomplishment Saint Body, which stirred up quite a stir.

And soon after, another piece of news broke, causing a sensation throughout the universe.

A grand showdown between figures of princely rank is about to take place!

The ancient emperor's son from Blood Phoenix Mountain is about to have a great showdown with the younger brother of the banished immortal, and this battle is also related to the ownership of an ultimate ancient emperor weapon!

This caused a stir throughout the entire universe, as it was practically a clash between two extreme powers.

Over the years, the existence of the forbidden zone has become no secret. Within it lie the eternally resting emperors who have refused to die. And among them, no one can be certain how many supreme beings are sleeping, or what their origins are.

People are unsure whether the Supreme Being of Blood Phoenix Mountain is among them, but in recent years, no one has dared to provoke those clans that produced Daoists in the past, because it is truly unpredictable, and the slightest carelessness could lead to death and the extermination of the clan.

Therefore, this battle is destined to be of great importance. Regardless of who wins or loses, it could escalate into a major imperial war, making it difficult for anyone not to pay attention.

The moment the news broke, Beidou became the center of the universe, and countless people flocked there to witness this earth-shattering battle.

"The people of Blood Phoenix Mountain are very confident, attracting worldwide attention. Unfortunately, you don't know what kind of enemy you're facing!"

Deep in the starry sky, Chongguang gazed at the Big Dipper. Over the years, he had not returned to the Sun God Cult. Instead, he had been deep in the ancient road, diligently studying his own methods and principles. It wasn't until ten years ago, when the scriptures he created were truly completed, that a great bell crossed the starry sky and came to him, transmitting to him a heaven-defying great method. This method enlightened him, awakened his wisdom, and gave rise to one after another heaven-defying figures from different eras, who became his "heavenly tribulations," engaging in endless battles with him. This allowed his methods and principles to rapidly become complete and advanced to a high level.

"So many ancient emperors' Dao, my brother is too heaven-defying! Could it be that he has already comprehended all the Daos of the emperors? Or is it that cheating spacetime magic that pulled a young emperor of the same realm as me from the past?"

Chongguang was suspicious. Those opponents were really too strong. One after another, they were like the reincarnation of the great emperors and ancient kings in their youth. Even those who were still in the Saint King realm had an invincible aura that made people's hearts tremble.

But who can pull someone out of the river of time? And to pull out an ancient emperor? That's just too crazy!

Completely baffled, Chongguang looked at the Chaos Bell in his hand.

"That is merely a kind of Great Dao imprint retrieved from the river of time and space, containing the form and spirit of the emperors, but not their true bodies. I cannot do that kind of thing!"

The deity of the Emperor Bell whispered the truth.

Chongguang was stunned. He hadn't expected that Di Zhong, who had always been unwilling to answer, would speak so readily.

"Your elder brother said that he used to temper you, to make you fearless, so that you could fight the emperors in your youth with an invincible spirit. Now that it's over, it's time to tell you the truth, so you won't get arrogant. We weren't fighting their real bodies. Don't think you're invincible, child!"

Emperor Zhong, the deity, continued.

This made Chongguang's lips twitch. He now understood this style. No wonder that big black dog used to be so wary of his brother.

"Now that my Great Law has been initially established, it's time for me to meet my elder brother's Dao body when he was at the Saint King Realm!"

The next moment, Chongguang looked at the Emperor Bell and made a request that had never been allowed before.

"are you sure?"

The voice of the Emperor Bell God was as magnificent as ever, but for some reason, Chongguang always felt that He had a hint of schadenfreude in His voice.

"Of course, I've long wanted to see my brother's invincible Immortal Palm back in the day!"

Chongguang knew, of course, that he was no match for his brother and was destined to get a beating. However, it was definitely worth it. After all, his brother had already vaguely acquired the title of Heavenly Emperor. Even if he lost badly, as long as he didn't die, he would definitely gain a lot from fighting such an opponent.

He had been looking forward to this battle for a long time; even battles against the Emperor and the Ruthless One had not excited him this much.

Hey! Hope you can hang in there!

The Emperor Bell God no longer concealed His feelings. The bell shone brightly, Dao traces intertwined, and the starry sky was vast. A male protagonist appeared, dressed in moon-white jade and surging with intense immortal light. It was Li Wangxian's true form in the Saint King Realm.

"This is the Dao body of the Lord when he just passed the Heavenly Tribulation of the Saint King Realm. By the way, to add, it was the seventh level of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"That's what the Emperor Bell God said."

The bald man, whose head was as big as a bucket, was too shocked to even hear about the Holy King's feat of leaping to the seventh heaven, as he had already heard about it before.

Most importantly, an overwhelming aura pressed down on him, almost suffocating him and making his heart pound with fear.

That was the terrifying aura that naturally burst forth after Li Wangxian's Dao body appeared, making all the saints tremble.

"Imperial Bell, are you sure this is my brother's imprinted body when he was in the Saint King Realm? I feel like it even has the might of an emperor. Did you not give me an ultimate version that descended after he attained the Dao?"

Chongguang asked weakly.

He strongly suspected that either his elder brother was secretly plotting something or the Emperor Bell was causing trouble; otherwise, how could someone in the Saint King realm possess such supreme aura?

However, Emperor Zhong quickly denied his suspicions, claiming that this was Li Wangxian's true state back then, transformed from an imprint retrieved from the river of time, and was genuine.

Moreover, he revealed a secret: back then, Li Wangxian used that method to fight against the will of an ancient celestial being for two years before transforming into an unparalleled power that surpassed all saints.

"abnormal……"

Chongguang clicked his tongue in disbelief; this was truly speechless. Then, in the next instant, his face turned pale.

Because that Daoist body made a move. With a flick of his finger, the world shattered in an instant, and a blazing immortal light flew from between his fingers, tearing apart the universe and causing all the Daos to vanish.

puff!

Without any suspense, Ren Zhongguang's supreme power, which allowed him to enter the forbidden realm and illuminate the three thousand great worlds, could not stop that celestial light. He was instantly shattered and exploded into the starry river.

Golden divine blood splattered, illuminating the dark and cold starry sky. Divine radiance enveloped the area, making it appear sacred. The only thing that seemed out of place was the blasted, mangled body.
