Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 499 The Emperor of Light

The 4,500-year-old Son of Light finally triggered the Great Tribulation of Enlightenment, successfully traversing the path of enlightenment in this special era when the Great Dao was not manifest.

Although this is not the worst era and cannot be compared with the post-ancient era when the Azure Emperor attained enlightenment, the difficulty is still extremely high because the laws of heaven and earth are not active and it is difficult to comprehend the Dao.

Therefore, the achievement of the Son of Light is clearly extraordinary.

While this doesn't necessarily mean he's significantly stronger than the average Dao Prover, it's enough to prove he's by no means weak among Dao Provers. After all, high-difficulty dungeons are indeed better for honing one's skills.

The imposing presence of the Son of Light during his tribulation also proves this point.

Although the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was not manifest, when the Son of Light attained enlightenment, the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth did not weaken in the slightest. On the contrary, because of the Son of Light's profound accumulation, his status was slightly higher than that of ordinary enlightened beings.

This astonishing power shook the universe. Although there were almost no cultivators in the universe who could perceive this great tribulation of enlightenment up close, the myriad races of the universe still knew from the ever-spreading aura of the Great Dao that was constantly merging with the universe that the ultimate victor was the Son of Light.

That kind of brilliance, splendor, yet gentle light, as if it could purify all the filth in the universe and create a divine kingdom on earth, could only be possessed by the Son of Light.

Of course, at this point, we should change his name and call him the Emperor of Light.

Although many people fail to attain enlightenment at the last hurdle, the Bright Emperor's previous performance clearly gave other cultivators ample confidence, and his increasingly powerful aura of supreme power also indicated that he was on the path to success.

Amidst a boundless sea of ​​lightning, a towering golden giant, bathed in the light, moved with incredible speed. His entire body seemed to be woven from a dense tapestry of divine light, transcending flesh and blood to become an unparalleled deity. Every movement he made caused a surge of immense spiritual energy to tremble, engulfing vast swathes of the starry sky.

The golden giant has a Refining God Pot made of Feathered Azure Gold on its head. It has followed its master through endless tribulations and gradually become more and more powerful. Its interior is like a black hole that can melt everything.

The Refining God Pot directly absorbed countless bolts of lightning, causing countless radiant law imprints to grow on its surface. Each fine Dao mark shimmered with divine light. This Refining God Pot, which the Bright Emperor regarded as a treasure for proving his Dao and constantly refined, became an ultimate Dao imperial weapon as he attained Dao.

While the Divine Refining Pot continuously absorbed lightning and evolved autonomously, the Emperor of Light focused his main efforts on refining another Divine Refining Pot. He held a pot woven from white divine light and personally summoned lightning tribulation to temper its body, allowing it to evolve further.

During these long years of arduous cultivation, the Bright Emperor also collected some extremely rare and highly compatible Bright Gold from the human universe, and refined it into a divine pot.

However, since he was already at the Quasi-Emperor level when he obtained this immortal gold, even though this immortal gold was more compatible with him, it could not replace the status of the Feathered Azure Gold Divine Pot.

Therefore, although the Bright Emperor further refined the divine pot with the power of the Great Tribulation of Proving the Dao, he could only upgrade it to a special quasi-royal weapon and could no longer allow it to evolve further.

However, this luminous white gold was indeed the most suitable immortal gold for him, even better than the ethereal blue gold. Therefore, the Emperor of Light naturally shifted his focus.

As the sea of ​​lightning gradually dissipated, the aura of the Emperor of Light grew stronger and stronger, gradually merging with the previously inconspicuous Heavenly Heart Mark, ultimately imprinting his Great Dao into the universe, activating the previously inactive myriad Daos, and jointly protecting his supreme Great Dao.

After truly becoming an emperor, the Light Emperor's body grew even more majestic, radiating boundless brilliance that illuminated the dark and desolate universe as bright as day. This divine light swept across the entire universe, bringing a brief respite to all places of darkness. Wherever this dazzling divine light reached, the great principles of heaven and earth were briefly revived, bestowing blessings upon all beings bathed in its light.

After attaining enlightenment, the power of the Light Emperor's bloodline underwent an unprecedented transformation, which also made his Great Dao more perfect. Therefore, the Light Emperor directly invoked all the Daos through the Heavenly Heart Mark, creating this extraordinary phenomenon.

From that moment on, the Emperor of Light gained extraordinary prestige.

This was, of course, intentional on the part of the Bright Emperor. Unlike the indifference of Qitian, he wanted to establish a greater power and spread his glory to all parts of the universe.

This was something the Emperor of Light had planned from the very beginning.

Among the past enlightened beings, he learned much from the experience of the Immortal Emperor and resolved to build a vast power like him, and to gather the power of faith to research the method of immortality. This is also a method related to his path.

That's why he took the initiative to do this to create momentum.

After successfully attaining enlightenment, the Emperor of Light slowly stepped forward, and endless divine light intertwined beneath his feet to form a celestial path that stretched to the horizon. Standing atop this path, the Emperor of Light traveled like a deity, entering the depths of the universe.

Now that he has successfully attained enlightenment, it is naturally time for him to return home in glory and repay those who have contributed to his cause.

The Radiant Emperor's first stop was naturally his homeland. From the moment he attained enlightenment, the ancient star's previous name became irrelevant; from this day forward, it would only have one name: Radiant Ancient Star.

After all, whether it's him, the Emperor of Light who came from the ancient star of light, or the Light God Clan who became the absolute dominant force on this ancient star, they would both make this title their only true name.

Although the Emperor of Light had only just attained enlightenment and had not yet finished comprehending the myriad paths through the Heavenly Heart Imprint to make his own Dao and Dharma more perfect, he still decided to first preach to his people and pass down his ancient scriptures of light, so that the God of Light would truly live up to its name and become the supreme and top-tier race in the universe.

Of course, the other races that wholeheartedly supported him alongside the God of Light did not obtain the Ancient Scripture of Light, but they still enjoyed the privilege of being personally lectured and guided in cultivation by the God of Light.

Moreover, the Emperor of Light also improved the traditions of each of their races to a certain extent. After all, the Emperor of Light was well-versed in various scriptures and absorbed the nourishment of various Taoist methods. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to raise the traditions of these races to the level of ancient emperors, but to make them more perfect was just a matter of lifting a finger for him.

In this round of sermons and teachings, all the races that the Emperor of Light had won over gained immense benefits. Their previous investment was clearly very successful, yielding returns far exceeding expectations.

With this relationship established, these powerful clans became even more proactive in joining forces with the Light God Clan, forming a vast alliance that integrated a large amount of resources and power, showing a tendency to become an immortal divine dynasty.

From this point on, the era of the Bright Emperor reigning supreme over the world and being revered by all races officially began.
