Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 627 Testing
Upon hearing these words, the Taiyin Emperor was startled and became alert.

At this moment, Mount Tai not only possessed the Emperor's Seal, but also countless interwoven arrays established using the essence of Mount Tai, making its defenses extremely tight. Even the Taiyin Emperor himself could not have silently infiltrated the very core of this place, yet someone had done it.

Moreover, and most importantly, all of this was personally overseen by the fourth incarnation of the Yin Emperor, making infiltration even more difficult.

But now, someone can completely ignore all these arrangements and even appear directly in front of him without his knowledge. Such strength is simply unimaginable.

Of all the people the Taiyin Emperor had ever met, only the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, whom he had formally met not long ago, was capable of doing this.

The Taiyin Emperor looked up and found that the person in front of him had a completely empty and ethereal aura, without any sense of reality. Even when he opened his Dharma Eyes, he could not detect any energy.

Its appearance was hidden in a hazy, chaotic aura; all that could be seen was that it had a human form, but no details could be discerned.

Clearly, this was a peerless master who was perhaps more than one level stronger than the current Taiyin Human Emperor.

With just a quick glance, the Taiyin Human Emperor knew that perhaps only the Wuji Heavenly Venerable could compare to him in this human universe, or even surpass him.

After all, the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, who had become a mortal immortal, possessed a faint aura of immortality, while the person before him, though unfathomable, did not exude a similar feeling.

The Taiyin Emperor composed himself and said, "It is me, and it is not me."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said with great interest, "Yes is yes, no is no. How can you be uncertain about a mere title?"

The Taiyin Human Emperor said, "Because I believe that other people who can be called Human Emperors will appear among the descendants of the human race. I am only the first Human Emperor, but there will be a second and a third in the future. So this title is naturally not just for me."

"Or rather, I am the Human Emperor, but the Human Emperor may not be me."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "You trust them so much? If they disappoint you, then no one else can bear the title of Human Emperor."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "No. I have traveled to various parts of the universe and witnessed and restored parts of the history of my human race from the historical traces that have almost disappeared in the erosion of time. I have seen the past that no one remembers."

“A race that has endured countless hardships yet remains invincible, a race that can persevere even in the face of annihilation, will never perish; it will always be able to produce one powerful and wise leader after another.”

As the words of the Taiyin Emperor fell, the Emperor Seal spontaneously revived, and the profound meaning of the Humanity Divine Fist converged into a torrent of humanity, which came from the unknowable prehistoric era, crossing the river of time, stretching endlessly and eternally.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the countless historical remnants that had evolved from the torrent of humanity and couldn't help but sigh.

Although his cultivation level was much higher than that of the Taiyin Human Emperor, all of this contained in the torrent of humanity has fully proven that, at least in terms of his research and love for the human race, the Taiyin Human Emperor is indeed worthy of the title of Human Emperor.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Well said, well said. It seems that no one in the human universe is more suitable for the title of Human Emperor than you."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "You flatter me. May I ask which senior has come?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Take one of my moves, and I'll tell you." With that, Yuanshi Tianzun pointed a finger, and at the tip of his finger was a tiny singularity, containing terrifying power that seemed to crush everything in its path.

Even though this finger contained terrifying power that could almost directly cause a large part of the starry sky to collapse and be destroyed, its aura did not leak out in the slightest.

This move erupted without warning, startling the Taiyin Emperor. However, he had been on high alert the moment the mysterious person appeared, so he immediately activated the power of Yin and Yang, condensing it into a Yin-Yang diagram in his palm, and met the attack head-on.

When their palms met, a terrifying force swept over them, almost shattering the Yin-Yang Dao diagram evolved by the Taiyin Emperor. However, thanks to the Dao Fruit of Yin-Yang Harmony, the two laws of Yin and Yang transformed and reinforced each other, giving rise to a mysterious power that is ever-renewing and inexhaustible.

Therefore, the two sides are locked in a stalemate.

Unlike the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Taiyin Human Emperor was forced by pressure to concentrate on the evolution of his supernatural powers and had no time to pay attention to his surroundings. Therefore, he did not notice that the world inside Mount Tai seemed to be frozen, and the collision of the two powerful forces could not even cause a ripple in the void.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled slightly, and the singularity at his fingertip exploded. This terrifying power, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, shattered the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram. Immediately, the shattered singularity began to create all things, and countless worlds and endless beings continuously sprang up, enveloping the Taiyin Human Emperor.

The Taiyin Emperor retreated several steps, but remained fully focused on his supernatural powers. He continuously formed hand seals, and the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, which had been reduced to fragments, constantly changed, giving rise to countless new Dao Diagrams.

These Dao diagrams include not only Yin-Yang Dao diagrams, but also Dao diagrams of Heaven and Earth, Life and Death, Hardness and Softness, Movement and Stillness, Mystery and Yellow, Heaven and Earth, Spring and Autumn, Cold and Heat, Light and Darkness, Day and Night, and so on, representing all the opposing and transformative laws belonging to the Dao of Yin and Yang.

This was actually an insight gained by the Taiyin Emperor from comprehending the Yin-Yang Daoist Scripture. He also used the power of Yin and Yang to develop these different Daoist methods that align with the principles of Yin and Yang.

When these countless worlds and countless beings collided with these Dao diagrams, they unleashed divine power powerful enough to destroy the endless starry sky. However, this power did not spill out in the slightest and did not affect anything on Mount Tai.

In the end, both forces were completely annihilated and vanished into the void.

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally wouldn't use his full strength in this move. He was launching this attack based on the current strength of the Taiyin Human Emperor, his purpose being to test the Taiyin Human Emperor's strength and talent, and where his limits lay. Therefore, he was naturally calm and composed, handling the situation with ease.

However, for the Taiyin Emperor, to receive this attack required him to concentrate all his attention on the changes in his supernatural powers, to the point that he had no time to consider the possible impact of the collision of supernatural powers on the outside world.

Therefore, his nerves were overworked, and he felt a kind of exhaustion from the depths of his soul.

The Taiyin Emperor forced himself to maintain a highly focused state and said, "Senior, may I now tell you your identity?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable dispersed the means that concealed his aura and said, "You were cultivating in seclusion in my hometown, so I came to see you after I completed my transformation."

The Yin Emperor asked, "Senior, are you the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Yes. Wuji has excellent judgment. He did not misjudge you. You truly deserve the title of Human Emperor."
