Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 126 Just click it
The Lord of the Underworld showed compassion, holding up a precious wheel in his hand, from which countless worlds appeared, encompassing the Three Realms and Six Paths, and all living beings, in which countless beings were born, grew old, got sick, died, and were reincarnated endlessly.

All the remains in this burial pit were incorporated into it, becoming part of the myriad living beings, and ushering in a new life.

But each of these infinite worlds is constantly going through the process of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness, constantly being destroyed and reborn, as if these infinite worlds are also in a cycle of reincarnation.

The cycle of reincarnation—people, events, and worlds—all intertwine to form a terrifying supernatural power.

This is the supreme divine power created by the Lord of the Underworld after comprehending the Netherworld Scripture—the Cycle of Reincarnation.

Under this divine power, the entire Netherworld began to tremble, as if cheering for its ruler. Endless Yin and Nether energy emerged, stirred by this divine power.

For a moment, the Prison King, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but want to submit to the Underworld Lord. Fortunately, he was highly skilled and immediately regained his composure.

He was terrified. Cultivating the Netherworld Scripture had actually made him subject to the control of the Netherworld Lord. From this moment on, it seemed that if the Netherworld Lord wished, he could very well be influenced or even manipulated.

Could it be that the Underworld Lord has almost mastered the Underworld Scripture and become the true ruler of the Underworld?

Liang Yu was naturally fully aware of all this. This Netherworld Scripture was practically an epic enhancement to the Netherworld Lord. He could already manipulate those who proved their Dao through corpses using the Reincarnation Seal, and now he could manipulate the native life forms of the Netherworld and those who cultivated the Netherworld Scripture using the core laws of the Netherworld.

Now he truly is the Lord of the Underworld, the ruler of the netherworld. It seems his previous estimate that the Lord of the Underworld possessed the combat power of a Heavenly Emperor was too conservative.

In the center of the main hall, the two divine powers collided, and countless divine lights overflowed. The Netherworld began to shake violently, and this terrifying momentum finally became uncontrollable, spreading outwards.

Seeing the barely suppressed fighting spirit lurking in their eyes, Liang Yu knew they were already somewhat carried away and no longer cared about whether their aura was being revealed.

He then lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and countless Origin Heaven Divine Runes spread out, seeping into the ground and stabilizing the entire Netherworld. Next, the bronze Immortal Palace, following the Origin Heaven Divine Runes, stretched across the Netherworld, radiating immortal light, and the entire Netherworld's aura vanished without a trace.

After concealing his presence, he continued to watch the divine power duel in the center of the hall.

The endless cycle of reincarnation continues, life goes on and on, seemingly unchanging since time immemorial, revealing the laws of nature, like a vast universe. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation traps this endless world within it, and countless Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi rushes into the world of reincarnation like a waterfall. In an instant, heaven and earth are overturned, life is ravaged, and waves of blood surge to the heavens.

Even the world itself crumbled and began to vanish into nothingness amidst this all-destroying sword energy.

But under the cycle of reincarnation, these countless worlds are rebuilt from ruin and reborn from destruction. The corpses of all living beings rise up one by one, as if they had never died, even though they are covered in blood and their bodies are scattered.

The world of the living was destroyed, and a world dominated by the dead was born.

The sword energy of Zhuxian stirred again, revealing endless desolation and nothingness, as if to kill the dead once more and plunge the netherworld into eternal silence, until the final nothingness.

In the end, both supernatural powers vanished into nothingness.

To Liang Yu's surprise, the Underworld Lord's supernatural power dissipated a fraction of a second later. Did this mean the Underworld Lord even possessed a slight advantage?

Lingbao Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, I have lost this move."

The Underworld Lord shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Lingbao, you are too kind. I relied on the power of the Underworld, and could only maintain this for a moment longer. This move relies on the power of external objects, how dare I claim victory?"

Lingbao Tianzun laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, your newly created ancient scripture and supernatural powers already contain the wonders of the Origin Technique, how can they be separated?"

The Underworld Lord said, "This scripture is called the Underworld Scripture, which was co-created by Fellow Daoist Wuji and me. If it were before, I certainly wouldn't have been able to withstand this attack. Therefore, this scripture is not the work of one person alone. Even if we win, it will be a victory for both of us, not a victory for the Underworld Lord." Liang Yu was speechless upon hearing this. Was the Underworld Lord retaliating against him for watching the show? Deliberately stirring up hatred for him, making it sound as if he and the Underworld Lord had conspired against Lingbao Heavenly Venerable. Fortunately, Liang Yu knew that Lingbao Heavenly Venerable wouldn't be affected by such words.

The Prison Emperor thought to himself, "Great Heavenly Venerable, this move gives the Underworld Venerable the upper hand. What will the final result be? I see that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has basically evolved to its limit. It's hard to imagine what new changes might occur."

Liang Yu laughed and said, "The real test will come next. So far, Lingbao Tianzun has only used his old supernatural powers, but has not yet used the new achievements of this life."

New achievement? The Prison King was somewhat numb. This wasn't the final solution? He couldn't afford to play with a bunch of freaks like you.

Lingbao Tianzun laughed and said, "A loss is a loss, why make so many excuses? Fellow Daoist Mingzun, you have already surpassed my past self. Now, it's time for my present self to try. If you can withstand this sword strike, then I will have no choice but to admit defeat completely."

Upon hearing this, the Underworld Lord was startled. Did the Celestial Venerable Lingbao still have other tricks up his sleeve? But he had already used every trick in the book.

Lingbao Tianzun made a sword finger with his right hand and made a light stroke, and a sword light shot out.

This sword strike lacked any imposing aura or variation; it simply slashed straight down, seemingly incredibly fast, yet also incredibly slow. The endless expanse of space and time became meaningless under this sword strike, utterly unable to affect it.

The Underworld Lord's expression changed drastically when he faced this sword directly.

Upon witnessing this sword strike, which embodies the ultimate simplicity and return to the essence of nature, he activated the Heavenly Netherworld Treasure, continuously deducing and attempting to find a countermeasure, but to no avail.

This sword strike seemed to have completely locked onto him, and neither endless time and space, nor the laws of heaven and earth could stop it. This sword strike was as if it were weaving cause and effect and judging fate, cutting off all the possibilities for the Underworld Lord to evade and break through, leaving only the constant future of being struck by the sword.

The Underworld Lord hurriedly activated the Underworld Scripture again, condensing the cycle of reincarnation into a single point, attempting to obliterate the sword light.

To his astonishment, the great divine power that had just been gaining the upper hand was directly sliced ​​open by the sword light and silently annihilated.

As the sword light arrived in front of him in an instant, the Underworld Lord gritted his teeth, and a mark appeared between his eyebrows. It was mysterious and unpredictable, like the endless flow of immortal tribulations, or like the endless cycle of worlds.

The several reincarnation imprints within his body merged into one under this mark, transforming into a terrifying halo that intertwined holiness and demonic nature, death and life, locking the oncoming sword light within it.

With a crack, the divine light shattered, and the aura of the Underworld Lord weakened considerably, but a trace of the sword light still remained. This residual sword light shot out, slashing towards the Underworld Lord.

A strand of black hair fell, and the sword light completely dissipated.

The Underworld Lord exclaimed, "What a fine sword! What's the name of this sword technique?"

Lingbao Tianzun said, "This sword is named Jietian."

The Underworld Lord said, "This Heaven-Splitting Sword is indeed amazing. Fellow Daoist, you deserve to be the number one swordsman in millions of years. I humbly admit defeat."

Lingbao Tianzun smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, I'm afraid there are still some secrets to your last move. If it's just a friendly spar, then I will naturally win. But if it's a life-or-death battle, the outcome is still uncertain."

The Underworld Lord also laughed and said, "We are all of the same kind. This is just a friendly exchange. How can we expect to see each other to die? Let's stop here when we've reached our goal."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter, each concealing their aura.
