Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 152 Divine Forbidden Zone
Looking at Wuji before him, King Yuanxiang said, "I never imagined you could push me to this point. Wuji, this is my Dao, and my greatest source of confidence on the path to enlightenment. Wuji, what other methods do you have to counter my path of proving the Dao by force?"

Although it was only in its initial stages, Yuanxiang King still managed to unify all his power, including his blood, divine strength, laws, and primordial spirit, into a pure law of force, thus ensuring that every strike was delivered with all his might.

While ordinary people can exert all their strength, they often fail to unleash it fully due to the power being too dispersed, even when using various supernatural abilities. After all, it is difficult to perfectly combine the power of the primordial spirit with the vital energy, let alone add other powers.

However, Yuanxiang King can perfectly integrate all his power into one through his characteristic of proving the Dao with force, combining spirit and will, will and qi, and qi and body.

The two great secret realms, Wuji's Sea of ​​Wheels and Dao Palace, shone brightly. A Yin-Yang diagram flew out from the Sea of ​​Wheels secret realm, embodying the interplay of Yin and Yang, and the balance of life and death.

Then, five more divine phantoms flew out from the Dao Palace secret realm, manifesting the forms of the Five Primordial Emperors, arranged in the five directions, with the five elements circulating.

These are two kinds of phenomena: the former is the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, and the latter is the Five Emperors Suppressing Heaven and Earth. It is truly astonishing that Wuji cultivated these phenomena using only a single secret realm, with each of the two secret realms corresponding to two different phenomena.

After these two strange phenomena manifested, they quickly shrank and merged with Wuji's hands, giving rise to two supernatural powers. One was the Yin-Yang Seal, which manifested the changes of Yin and Yang, and the other was the Five Elements Seal, which manifested the principles of the generation and restraint of the five elements.

He not only mastered the extraordinary phenomena, but also perfectly combined them with his own supernatural powers.

Yuanxiang King laughed and said, "Strange phenomena? These are mere child's play. You think you can deal with me with such tricks?"

Wuji said, "All phenomena, supernatural powers, laws, and the Great Dao are merely tools to make oneself stronger; there is no difference between them. My Dao is that I am the only one who is supreme. As long as I am strong enough, what I use is law, and what I follow is the Dao."

An invincible aura surged into the sky, astonishing everyone present.

Wuji's path of self-importance treats all laws, supernatural powers, and scriptures as tools and external objects, all in pursuit of the ultimate and most powerful version of himself. It can be said that this is a more extreme path than proving the Dao through force.

King Yuanxiang was also taken aback by these remarks. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "To say something like that, you must be either an unparalleled genius or a madman."

Wuji laughed and said, "Then which type do you think I am?"

King Yuanxiang said, "We will know the outcome after the battle."

As he spoke, he charged at Wuji again, without any special supernatural powers or techniques, only the most natural release, naturally condensing his own power into one and striking out through his body movements.

This didn't seem like a cultivator; it was more like an ordinary martial artist. But it was precisely this simple and unadorned fighting style that allowed his power to increase significantly once again.

Because it is pure, it is powerful.

Wuji moved his hands and directly met the attack head-on. He did not choose to fight with magic, but continued to fight in close combat.

The fists and feet clashed, but there was no amazing power; only the faint dissipation of yin and yang energy and the five elements energy, along with the flying flesh and blood.

These supernatural powers and phenomena were wielded with ease by Wuji, and they indirectly encompassed all of Wuji's power, fusing them into one. This resulted in them not only possessing the immense strength of the Yuanxiang King, who integrated his own power into one, but also exhibiting agile and adaptable abilities.

Yuanxiang King couldn't help but ask, "How could you possibly do that?" Wuji laughed and said, "I've said it before, I am the only one who is supreme. Besides, aren't the so-called 'proving the Dao through force,' 'the Great Dao of Void,' and 'the Great Dao of Time' all just summaries that cultivators acquire later in life?"

"The so-called innate is the essence, and the acquired is the application. The Dao is the innate essence, and the law is the acquired application. The Dao summarized and deduced later is naturally not the Dao, but only a higher form of the law."

"Therefore, though I may seem to disregard the Way, how can I know that this is not the true Way, which abandons all forms and returns to the origin?"

Yuanxiang King was deeply shaken, but fortunately, his Dao heart was unbreakable and he was not affected. He simply secretly valued Wuji even more. Regardless of whether he could succeed or not, at least for now, Wuji had begun to embark on his own path.

The two exchanged blows, and even though they both managed to perfectly control their own power, they still inevitably released terrifying power capable of shattering the vacuum.

But surprisingly, King Yuanxiang was at a disadvantage.

In fact, the two are now roughly equal, but Wuji still retains the wonder of supernatural powers, while Yuanxiang King is unable to remain unpredictable in this state.

Soon, King Yuanxiang was forced to retreat. Under pressure, he swayed and transformed into a three-headed, six-armed avatar. Two hands couldn't reverse the tide; what about the six arms?

Wuji then transformed into a three-headed, six-armed avatar, saying, "Didn't you want to break the law with force and prove the Dao with force? When you try to use such methods to counter me, you have already lost your purity and sharpness. In this way, you will only lose even faster."

Wuji used six different supernatural powers with each of his six hands, each perfectly blending its own power into one. These six supernatural powers were Yin Yang Seal, Five Elements Seal, Void Seal, Heaven-Turning Seal, Spirit God Seal, and Four Symbols Seal.

Under Wuji's relentless offensive, Yuanxiang King was completely overwhelmed. Finally, exhausted from his efforts, he revealed a slight weakness, which Wuji keenly seized upon.

A ripple appeared in the void, and Wuji's figure vanished instantly, dodging Yuanxiang King's attack. Then, he activated the power of the void and cleaved Yuanxiang King in two with a single hand chop, cutting him in half at the waist.

It seems that Wuji has already secured the victory.

However, Yuanxiang King quickly repaired his body. His aura became more agile and solid, as if he had become a different person, unfathomable.

He said, "Wuji, Wuji, I am indeed not as good as you, but you are still going to lose today. I didn't expect you to put so much pressure on me, making it impossible for me to see any chance of winning."

"But you probably didn't expect that this desperate situation would push me to the limit, leading me into a realm I hadn't entered for years!"

Under Wuji's powerful offensive, Yuanxiang King actually triggered the divine restriction!
Within the divine forbidden zone, one's entire being reaches its most perfect and powerful state, even one's Dao heart becomes clearer than ever before. It can be said that once one steps into this realm, one can easily surpass oneself and unleash terrifying power far exceeding one's own limits.

Although Wuji had just defeated Yuanxiang King, the difference in skill was not significant. Under the divine restriction, these differences were negligible. It could be said that at this moment, the situation had been reversed.

Wuji smiled faintly, "You're not the only one who can trigger the divine restriction."
