Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 676 The Human Emperor Transforms into Chaos

Even after Lingbao Tianzun finally began his transformation, Yuanshi Tianzun still silently offered him his blessings.

The four—Wuji Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun—have been fellow Daoists exploring the path to immortality in the mortal world since the mythological era. Now that they are almost all about to achieve their goals, Yuanshi Tianzun is naturally excited.

Moreover, entering the Immortal Realm requires the power of three Mortal Immortals. In that case, perhaps in just tens of thousands of years, they will have gathered enough people to truly enter that great world that countless cultivators in the human universe have longed for for countless years.

Of course, considering the darkness hidden among the heavens that the Supreme Celestial Venerable Wuji mentioned, they also need to think carefully before entering the Immortal Realm, so these are still things to consider in the future.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun prepared to begin further cultivation.

However, at this moment, a strange aura emanated from Mount Tai, slightly attracting the attention of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked towards Mount Tai and muttered to himself, "The Undying Emperor and the Yin Emperor are two seeds of immortality in the mortal world. I wonder if a third genius like them will be born in this era."

"Alas, Master, if you continue to sleep like this, you'll probably become a mortal immortal even later than these younger generations."

Upon sensing the imminent revival of the Taiyin Emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but think of his master.

The previous incarnation of the Underworld Lord was the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable, a figure from the early days of the mythological era. Judging from the reincarnation mark within his body, the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable might not even be his first incarnation.

Moreover, he may be the first among all those who attained enlightenment in the mythological era to determine his own path to immortality in the mortal world, and the one with the highest probability of success.

After all, although the four of them were close to becoming Immortals of the Mortal World, they were only truly certain of their ability to achieve this status much later than the Underworld Lord. In their previous lives, they had no confidence in their success.

However, the Lord of the Underworld at that time had already perfected his reincarnation seal into a complete immortal technique. As long as one follows the steps, the probability of success is still very high.

However, just when they were about to succeed, the Underworld Lord was still asleep, which was far behind schedule.

At this rate, the Immortal Emperor and the Yin Emperor will probably succeed even sooner than him.

The whereabouts of the Underworld Lord are no longer a secret to him. Therefore, the Primordial Celestial Lord also knows that the Underworld Lord has not yet fully succeeded, but his progress is accelerating. Perhaps in a few hundred thousand years at most, he will be able to begin his next life.

However, in this life as the Lord of the Underworld, he has accumulated far more wealth than expected, so perhaps after this success, his progress will accelerate even further. But even at his fastest pace, it's unlikely he'll succeed in just one or two million years.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head, a strange malice rising in his heart. He wanted to urge his master's cultivation progress harder, to subject him to deeper training, and thus accelerate his cultivation.

After all, judging by this pace, he would probably have already become a legendary immortal king, while his master is still far from becoming a mortal immortal.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun quickly stopped thinking about it. After all, by the time the next incarnation of Mingzun begins, he might not even still be in the mortal universe, and might not have the opportunity to do these things. But this thought was deeply rooted in Yuanshi Tianzun's heart.

He, Yuanshi Tianzun, was a respectable person. If his master was too unambitious and far behind him, it would inevitably make him feel uncomfortable.

Or perhaps he could use some means to bring about this before he departs? However, these things might have to wait until he leaves the mortal universe, or until the Underworld Lord lives on in his next life. So the Primordial Celestial Lord stopped thinking about these things and focused on his cultivation.

Completely unaware that the Taiyin Human Emperor, who had just been watched by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, had finally awakened from his transformation.

Within the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin formation atop Mount Tai, endless chaotic energy permeated the entire terrain. However, under the sealing of the great formation, this chaotic energy could not escape, so Mount Tai as a whole remained unaffected.

As the Taiyin Emperor revived, the chaotic energy began to condense continuously, eventually flowing into the central figure.

The Taiyin Emperor opened his eyes, and the endless chaotic energy was now completely contained, with only a faint aura flowing around his body, highlighting his near-perfect and supreme physique.

As the Taiyin Emperor rose and moved his body, his blood and qi surged forth. Even with layers of arrays blocking the way, Mount Tai was still shaken by this powerful aura.

After stabilizing his own condition, the Taiyin Emperor removed the great formation that sealed him, placed the Emperor Seal back on the summit of Mount Tai, and summoned the Taiyin Divine Seal.

The divine weapon he later forged first evolved into the Yin-Yang Divine Seal over the years, and now it has evolved into the Chaos Divine Seal, perfectly matching his personal Dao Fruition and becoming his natal divine weapon without any separation. And it has finally evolved into a true immortal artifact.

The Taiyin Emperor absorbed the evolved Chaos Divine Seal into his body and began to focus on exploring his current state.

From the moment Yin and Yang merged to create chaos, the Taiyin Human Emperor has undergone a transformation within Mount Tai for a full 100,000 years. This period is even longer than his four and five previous incarnations combined, which only amounted to 90,000 years.

However, for the Taiyin Human Emperor, these 100,000 years were entirely worthwhile.

The reason it took him 100,000 years to complete this transformation was because during that time he truly evolved himself into a chaotic being.

The ultimate end of the union of Yin and Yang is chaos, and after truly reaching this stage, the Taiyin Human Emperor naturally evolved into a chaotic body.

The Chaotic Body is the most powerful physique in the human universe. Only bloodline physiques can rival it, but so far no physique has been able to surpass it.

The Taiyin Body is already a top-tier physique, second only to the Chaos Body. Therefore, the Taiyin Human Emperor's understanding of the Chaos Body is still incomplete.

It wasn't until he became a Chaos Body that the Taiyin Human Emperor truly understood the power of the Chaos Body. He also immediately understood why the Wuji Heavenly Venerable and the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable had made the evolution of the Chaos Body a major milestone on their path of transformation.

Regardless of how much this physique enhances one's combat power and lifespan, its impact on the future is also significant.

This powerful physique, which is almost perfect in the realm of humanity, can enable the Taiyin Human Emperor to gain more profound insights, paving the way for his further advancement.

From this chaotic body that integrates all laws and encompasses Yin and Yang, the Taiyin Human Emperor can sublimate into a completely new and more powerful Dao Fruit.
