Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 282 I'll help you become an immortal, how about it?

Ning Fei had already defeated five people in a row, and the Netherworld God in front of him was the sixth. Apart from the Sun and Moon God General, who was the youngest and lacked composure, allowing Ning Fei to exploit his weaknesses, the others were all stronger and more stable than the last. Each of them seemed to have learned from the previous person's defeat, making the fight increasingly difficult for him.

This truly startled Ning Fei. Among the opponents he had defeated, the strongest was only comparable to these divine generals. Yet, that one became disheartened after being defeated and gave up on continuing his journey on the ancient starry road.

These seven individuals, however, were completely different. They were not discouraged by their defeat; instead of becoming despondent, they began to reflect on themselves and strive for self-improvement. Regardless of their strength, their character was absolutely outstanding.

To be able to gather these seven outstanding individuals as subordinates, how terrifying must their lord, Huang Tian, ​​be? Unlike Huang Tian, ​​who was too lazy to learn about his other rivals, Ning Fei had long heard of him. Even though he had never seen his image, he inexplicably regarded this person as his greatest competitor.

The current battle has completely validated his thoughts; this Huang Tian is indeed the biggest obstacle on his path to enlightenment. Saving people from him won't be easy.

The Demon God was naturally unaware that Ning Fei could be distracted by these thoughts during their battle. He felt that this fight was extremely difficult for him.

Ning Fei's every strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, and he could accurately find any flaws in Ning Fei's attacks. As long as Ning Fei revealed the slightest opening, Ning Fei's spear would strike, and black blood would splatter.

He hadn't realized how terrifying Ning Fei was when he was just observing, but now that he was truly facing him, he felt the man's terror. When Huang Tian faced them, he either crushed them with brute force or used supernatural abilities to break through all their methods.

Ning Fei, on the other hand, wields his ultimate sharpness through unparalleled precision in controlling his own power and terrifying perception that sees through everything. Before him, even the slightest flaw will be detected and immediately exploited.

This left the Demon God and his allies with little room to maneuver, making it extremely difficult for them to cope. After all, it's impossible for them to be completely without flaws.

In a mere instant, Ning Fei exchanged nearly a hundred blows with the Netherworld God. Although the Netherworld God was more severely injured, Ning Fei was also inevitably injured again.

Under constant wear and tear, the Demon God lost patience and dared not continue. Instead, he unleashed his ultimate power—the Great Black Heaven Divine Sword.

The dark sword light descended, seemingly absorbing all light and plunging the world into eternal night. This sword strike was originally meant to obscure perception, making it undetectable, but it was ineffective against Ning Fei. Therefore, the Demon God chose a direct, brute-force approach, forcing Ning Fei to clash head-on with him.

Ning Fei sighed softly; this was exactly what he had been worried about. Fortunately, this was already the second to last person. Ning Fei's battle halberd moved, and countless sharp edges, seemingly capable of piercing through everything, clashed with the dark sword light.

This time, Ning Fei no longer held back his power, instantly unleashing all his strength. Instantly, sharp edges condensed, and with his battle spear, he directly crushed the sword light of the Netherworld Demon God. Moreover, the sharpness did not diminish, piercing through the Netherworld Demon God's body, leaving several bright holes in the front and back.

The Demon God crashed heavily to the ground, his breath waning. He was the most severely injured because Ning Fei had begun to lose control of his power and energy expenditure.

The last divine general was named the Calamity God General. In the original timeline, of the seven divine generals under the Undying Emperor besides Ning Fei, only the Netherworld God, Kun Tian, ​​and the Sun and Moon God General survived to the future. They died in battle when Ye Fan and the remnants of the Heavenly Court joined forces to destroy the Phoenix Nest, while the other four had long since passed away in the Primordial Era. Although this divine general left no name and was completely overshadowed by Ning Fei, his strength was also extremely extraordinary.

The God of Calamity slowly walked out and said, "Would you like to rest for a while?"

Ning Fei pointed his spear at the sky, his spirits soaring: "I'm in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, the God of Calamity did not hold back and directly used his Great Calamity Technique, instantly condensing the power of the three calamities and engulfing Ning Fei within it.

Countless bolts of lightning rolled, but Ning Fei remained fearless, charging through the sea of ​​thunder. For him, who had long since weathered countless tribulations, the power of this lightning calamity was nothing new. Following closely behind was Yin Fire, which ignited within Ning Fei's body. It was undefendable and unextinguishable, threatening to reduce his internal organs to ashes and his limbs to decay. Ning Fei frowned slightly, divine light flashing within his body, countless silver runes shimmering, making his body as indestructible and incorruptible as celestial metal.

Finally, there was the Bifeng Wind, a silent and all-pervasive wind that caused Ning Fei to gradually dissolve from the inside out. Ning Fei was forced to circulate his qi and blood, constantly regenerating himself, creating a tug-of-war with the power of the Bifeng Wind.

The God of Calamity also entered the sea of ​​lightning, engaging Ning Fei in close combat. Ning Fei was unable to eradicate the influence of the three calamities' power and could only focus on resisting them, which greatly diminished his combat strength.

This Heavenly Calamity God General may not be much stronger than the Netherworld Demon God, but his Great Calamity Heavenly Technique is extremely troublesome, making it impossible for anyone to exert even seven-tenths of their strength. No wonder he is the number one of the Seven God Generals.

Ning Fei took a deep breath and actually abandoned the power to resist the Three Calamities, concentrating his power into a single point. In the shortest amount of time, he used all his strength and disregarded the cost to defeat the Heavenly Calamity God General.

Ning Fei won seven battles in a row. Although he suffered considerable damage, he truly developed an invincible aura. His endless sharpness was condensed to the extreme. Even the two Great Saints hiding in the void felt a strong discomfort, as if they were being pricked by needles from their physical bodies to their primordial spirits.

"These seven people are all top geniuses in the universe, yet they were defeated by him one after another, and in a very short time. It seems that Ning Fei is indeed a peerless genius with the potential to attain enlightenment."

"I wonder how Huang Tian compares to him. Ning Fei's amazing performance was unexpected, but it was to be expected. Huang Tian, ​​on the other hand, is someone whose origins we can't even fathom."

"Let's wait and see, things are about to get interesting."

The two great saints hid even deeper.

After the seven divine generals were defeated one after another, naturally no one could stop Ning Fei's path. Whether or not they had lost their fighting ability, the seven divine generals made way for Ning Fei and silently followed behind him.

Ning Fei galloped away on his horse, flashing past like lightning. Without pausing, he reached the city gate leading to the next level in the ancient city at top speed. He could vaguely sense the presence of the Phoenix Maiden he longed for and the Phoenix Heaven he had never met.

However, after sensing the aura, Ning Fei couldn't help but feel a chill, because it was true that the Sun and Moon God General said that these two came from the same lineage.

Although they were far apart, Ning Fei could still sense a bloodline similar to that of the Phoenix Maiden from Huang Tian's extraordinary and restrained aura. Could it be that Huang Tian was also a descendant of the Phoenix? Or perhaps, he was an even more terrifying being?

Huang Tian sat firmly atop the city wall, watching Ning Fei gallop towards him, before reining in his horse and stopping.

Ning Fei's silver robe and the white horse beneath him were stained with blood of various colors, some of their own, but mostly from their opponents. Ning Fei raised his battle halberd, pointing it directly at Huang Tian above. A chilling aura swept over, silencing the entire sky.

Huang Tian looked down at Ning Fei, whose aura had reached its peak, and chuckled softly, "You are Ning Fei? To be able to defeat seven of my generals in such a short time, you truly live up to your reputation."

"From now on, follow me, and I'll help you become an immortal, how about it?"
