Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 278 Seven Divine Generals

Just as the Immortal Emperor, full of ambition, began his adventures on the Big Dipper, preparing to make a name for himself in the human universe and become a legend, the opponents that Liang Yu had prepared for him also appeared in the world.

First was the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana. When he awoke, he found himself on Ziwei Star. This was the homeland of the Celestial Venerable of Limitless Limits, one of the most ancient stars in the universe, and an important region within the core sphere of influence of the human race.

Liang Yu naturally didn't need to interfere with the cultivation of the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation. His Annihilation Heavenly Art was already superior to that of his previous life; in this life, he only needed to continue refining and verifying it. Speaking of which, although Tu Fei's talent in the later life was not bad, he struggled more than an ordinary Holy Son. However, after cultivating the Annihilation Heavenly Art, he directly ascended to Quasi-Emperor, and even has the potential to continue to improve.

Now, the Heavenly Annihilation Technique has reached a higher level, and the Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation has been reshaped through the method of reincarnation. His potential is indeed unimaginable, at least far stronger than in his previous life.

Secondly, there is the Immortal Fire Holy Spirit, which was enlightened by Liang Yu. Due to Liang Yu's special arrangement, this Holy Spirit is a Holy Spirit transformed from the innate essence of the Dragon Horse and the Spirit Emperor, so it also needs to start its cultivation from scratch.

Of course, its form was cultivated by Liang Yu based on the real phoenix, the Immortal Emperor. Moreover, Liang Yu also passed on the phoenix lineage immortal techniques obtained from the Immortal Emperor to it, and the conceived creature used this secret technique to further modify its form.

Therefore, this Immortal Fire Spirit was almost indistinguishable from a true phoenix. After all, this portion of the Immortal Fire was originally transformed from the primordial Dao Fire of an Immortal Phoenix. Of course, like the Undying Emperor, Liang Yu also passed on to it an ancient scripture and the Secret of the Fighting Character.

Finally, there's Ning Fei, whom Liang Yu hadn't arranged to appear, but who conveniently showed up at the right time. In the original timeline, he was the number one general under the Undying Emperor. Now, however, he's destined to compete with the Undying Emperor in his own generation, and they just happened to run into each other.

These four prodigies, each rising in different corners of the universe, are about to become the four brightest stars in the early days of this era, overshadowing all other prodigies.

In just a few decades, Huang Tian has earned a formidable reputation on the Big Dipper Star. On that day, he slew eighteen Dao-Slaying Kings from various races, and almost all of them were challenges beyond his level. Although these people were not the strongest geniuses in their respective races, they were currently the strongest geniuses on the Big Dipper Star.

Several demigods then tried to kill him, but even though his body was shattered several times, he did not die. In fact, he even leveled up during the battle and killed all his opponents.

Thus, the name of the Undying Heavenly King resounded throughout the Big Dipper. All the various races that came to this land to carve out their own territories regarded him as one of the most outstanding prodigies of this generation. His fame even began to spread through these races into the starry sky.

The renowned Huang Tian didn't linger at all; after stabilizing his cultivation, he immediately fled. As a result, he had no idea of ​​the title of the Undying Heavenly King.

After all, while the various races on the Big Dipper Star may not be particularly powerful, they are all backed by powerful races from other star systems. As a lone individual, he naturally wouldn't dare gamble on whether these people would bully the weak.

Subsequently, Huang Tian traversed the starry sky, and after traveling through several star regions, he finally embarked on the Ancient Star Road. By this time, he had become a saint.

During his decades of wandering in the mortal world, Huang Tian encountered danger several times, but he still did not meet an opponent strong enough to fight him.

After all, as a true celestial spirit—the Phoenix—the Undying Emperor's physique is far too powerful. Unless one possesses a Chaos Body, everyone else is inferior to him. Furthermore, his personal comprehension and talent are exceptional, completely eliminating any issue of relying on his innate physical constitution. He is practically a well-rounded individual.

For this reason, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain, thinking that while the cultivators of this Dharma-ending Age had a decent lower limit, their upper limit was indeed quite average. This time, he was truly going to sweep through the world and directly attain Dao. Huang Tian swept through the ancient road without encountering any opponents, not even a single one who could fight him.

During this process, seven prodigies from various races were won over by him and willingly became his followers. Of course, Huang Tian accepted them because he saw these seven as prodigies with some strengths, preventing them from being completely crushed by him. With their help, he wouldn't have to do some miscellaneous tasks himself.

These seven followers were naturally the other seven divine generals besides Ning Fei from the eight divine generals of the Undying Emperor in the original timeline. Although they were significantly inferior to Shang Huangtian, they were all top-tier geniuses in this universe. In other eras, these seven could at least be formidable enemies on the path to enlightenment for those who sought to attain the Dao in their time.

On this day, Huang Tian arrived at the next level of the Ancient Starry Sky Road. At this time, he had already become a Saint King, and was not too far from the ultimate Ancient Road. Naturally, the same was true for the seven divine generals under his command.

As usual, Huang Tian directly challenged all the trial participants in this level. The result was naturally as usual: the seven divine generals defeated everyone, and he himself did not even encounter anyone worthy of his attention.

Watching the last prodigy of this place being defeated by the Sun and Moon Divine General, Huang Tian sighed softly. As he continued to delve deeper into the ancient starry road, the average level of the opponents he encountered was also constantly rising, but the problem was that he was also improving, and at an increasingly rapid pace.

Now, even his seven followers are becoming invincible on the Ancient Starry Road. After all, the seven divine generals are top geniuses from seven great clans. If this continues, the Ancient Starry Road before the ultimate ancient road will probably be completely destroyed.

Just as they were about to move on to the next level, a cultivator struggled to his feet and said, "Huang Tian, ​​do you want to find a strong enough opponent? Then don't rush to the next level. Soon, someone will come to be your opponent."

Huang Tian stopped and said, "I'm tired of hearing this kind of talk. Every time I pass a level, I hear someone claiming to be my opponent. I've defeated at least seventy or eighty of them. Although they are not bad, they are ultimately far inferior to me, and even inferior to those seven. Is there any difference between what you're talking about?"

The cultivator said, "Of course they're different. The person I'm talking about is called Ning Fei."

Upon hearing this name, Huang Tian couldn't help but glance at the other seven divine generals. Having easily defeated countless prodigies with various titles along his journey, he had become too lazy to bother learning about them. Therefore, this name was completely unfamiliar to him.

Kun Tian Divine General hesitated for a moment before saying, "This person is indeed extraordinary. Before following you, I had met him once. Although we did not fight, his strength is beyond doubt."

Sun and Moon God General said, "Kun Tian, ​​how strong do you think he is? He can't be stronger than us, can he?"

Kun Tian Divine General solemnly said, "To my shame, the reason I came here from another ancient starry road was because I saw him and knew I was no match for him. However..."

However, he never expected that by taking a different path, he would encounter Huang Tian, ​​who had been sweeping all the way through. He had avoided one ruthless person, but ended up meeting someone even more ruthless; it was truly a stroke of bad luck. Nevertheless, encountering both of them in succession completely extinguished Kun Tian's desire to attain enlightenment, and he willingly joined Huang Tian's ranks.

Huang Tian said, "Since you speak so highly of Ning Fei, I'd like to see what he's really made of. However, he's on another ancient road; how are we going to wait for him?"
