The entire universe suddenly fell silent.
The overwhelming aura of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable suppressed the entire world, and one after another, the Dark Supreme, filled with killing intent, silently concealed their auras.
The Overlord Heavenly Venerable's formidable reputation was earned through bloodshed.
He has already killed countless Dark Supreme; killing Dark Supreme now is as easy as crushing an ant. No one dares to challenge his authority anymore.
The numerous Great Saint and Quasi-Emperor in the universe also noticed that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable had casually killed the Dark Supreme, and they were all shocked and horrified.
That is the legendary Overlord Heavenly Venerable.
Rumble.
The heavenly tribulation continues.
One terrifying bolt of lightning after another descended around the body of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, with the True Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Qilin all exuding incomparably powerful auras.
The Heavenly Tribulation of the Daode Heavenly Venerable was like the end of the world, making the whole world feel oppressed.
Xiao Ping'an casually dispelled the oppressive atmosphere, making all living things in the world feel relaxed.
With the numerous Dark Supreme showing no intention of intervening, the Daode Heavenly Venerable could safely undergo his tribulation.
It is said that corpses possess spiritual power and can easily become a scourge. In order to control this scourge, the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable created the Scripture of Salvation.
Now that the Daode Heavenly Venerable has become spiritually connected with his corpse, he is clearly a kind soul. At least in Xiao Ping'an's era, he did not devour living beings or commit boundless acts of slaughter.
With divine might sweeping across the land, Xiao Ping'an observed the progress of the Heavenly Tribulation and felt it was almost over; it should be nearing its end.
His Black-Yellow Treasure Pagoda floated and sank in the sea of thunder, and one rare material after another automatically merged into the Black-Yellow Pagoda amidst the thunder.
The myriad forces of heaven and earth roared, swirling around the Black-Yellow Pagoda.
The Heavenly Heart Imprint manifested silently, appearing above the head of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, seeking to merge back into one with him.
This Heavenly Heart Imprint is known as the Immortal King, and countless people yearn to merge with it.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable once merged with this Heavenly Heart Imprint, and now that he has re-attained the Dao, this Heavenly Heart Imprint will merge with him once more.
Just when people thought that the Daode Heavenly Venerable was about to align himself with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, the Daode Heavenly Venerable suddenly made his move.
People saw the sound of the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
That day, the Daode Heavenly Venerable directly destroyed the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
He charged straight up, trampling all the myriad paths of heaven and earth under his feet, traversing the myriad paths of heaven and earth.
The Dark Supreme were stunned to see the Daode Heavenly Venerable break the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
At this moment, they looked at the place where Xiao Ping'an was with strange eyes.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable is one of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, and his strength is indeed incredibly powerful. He no longer merges with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, but instead walks on the myriad paths of heaven and earth.
Many Dark Supreme aspire to this level, yet it remains unattainable.
"Back then, both the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Undying Heavenly Emperor broke through the Heavenly Heart Imprint and traversed countless paths. I never imagined that the Daode Heavenly Venerable would do the same now."
" The Emperor Venerable of that time must have also broken the Heavenly Heart Imprint and traversed all the myriad paths of heaven and earth."
"Unexpectedly, even with the Overlord Heavenly Venerable in his lifetime, the Daode Heavenly Venerable was still able to break the shackles of heaven and earth and attain enlightenment once again."
"His figure stands above the Heavenly Heart Imprint; isn't he afraid of offending the Overlord Heavenly Venerable?"
The Daode Heavenly Venerable broke the Heavenly Heart Imprint, traversed the myriad paths of Heaven and Earth, and attempted to proclaim to all spirits that he would once again reign supreme over the world.
The numerous Dark Supreme stared wide-eyed at the Heavenly Heart Imprint beneath the feet of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, eager to unravel its mysteries.
Xiao Ping'an looked at the Daode Heavenly Venerable standing on the Heavenly Heart Imprint and seemed to understand something.
The path taken by the Daode Heavenly Venerable is somewhat similar to that of the Netherworld Venerable; they both follow the path of unifying the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal.
The Netherworld Venerable succeeded, while the Daode Heavenly Venerable, in Lifetime Laozi as Lao Tzu, entered the Immortal Domain with Amitabha Buddha before even attaining enlightenment, and only half of his body entered.
His path of Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal was abruptly interrupted, which is such a pity.
When Xiao Ping'an read the original text, he really felt it was a pity.
After all, every Chinese person has some special feelings towards Laozi.
Even if this Laozi is not the Laozi in my own world.
The path that the Daode Heavenly Venerable is walking now, Dao Scripture nine lifetimes of reincarnation, all of which involved practicing the Daoist scriptures, and his subsequent attainment of enlightenment without being suppressed by anyone, is indeed extremely mysterious and extraordinary.
After breaking the Heavenly Heart Imprint and traversing the myriad paths of heaven and earth, the Daode Heavenly Venerable withstood the even more violent Heavenly Tribulation.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable has attained enlightenment again, and there is no suspense left; it can be said that he has succeeded 100%.
All the Dark Supreme were unexpected. Xiao Ping'an's Great Dao did not suppress the Daode Heavenly Venerable, nor did the Golden Ancient Emperor's Daode Heavenly Venerable, or rather, it simply did not have the ability to suppress him.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable disregarded all the suppression of the Great Dao and easily attained enlightenment once again.
Those Dark Supreme who had previously intended to make a move felt a chill run down their spines.
This is an incredibly powerful Heavenly Venerable; offending him will inevitably cost you your life.
Buzzing.
The Black-Yellow Pagoda devoured countless rare and precious materials and integrated more and more rare resources. After becoming Heavenly Venerable, the Daode Heavenly Venerable began the refining process once again.
Everyone watched with envy as the incredibly rare materials were incorporated into the Black-Yellow Pagoda.
After all, each of them is a valuable material for crafting Extreme Dao Weapon or even Immortal Artifact.
Rumble.
The endless heavenly tribulations receded, and the supreme aura of the Great Daode Heavenly Venerable filled the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Another Ancient Emperor had made a powerful return.
The creatures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths couldn't help but tremble. How many years had passed? Unexpectedly, someone had already attempted to prove the Dao and become an emperor, and even succeeded.
This shattered everyone's understanding: even if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has not dissipated, someone can still forcefully prove their Dao.
Although the Daode Heavenly Venerable is somewhat special, he truly succeeded in attaining enlightenment.
The supreme laws of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, permeated everywhere, high above and instantly suppressing all other Dao rules.
The heavens and earth wept, a truly wondrous sight.
Amidst the endless celestial light, a figure shrouded in Hundun energy emerged.
The overwhelming divine power emanating from it was awe-inspiring.
According to everyone's deductions, the Great Dao of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, the Golden Ancient Emperor, the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, and the Daode Heavenly Venerable now resides on it, leaving no chance for anyone else to attain enlightenment.
To attain enlightenment again, it will likely be at least ten thousand years from now.
Ultimately, it all comes down to insufficient strength. If one were strong enough, one could defy the heavens and attain enlightenment.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable re-attained enlightenment, the Hundun Heavenly Venerable lived a new Lifetime, and the Overlord Heavenly Venerable also re-attained enlightenment early on. This can be said to be a very good positive inspiration for many later generations.
Many people hope to be like these three, not only to attain enlightenment but also to reappear in the world after a long period of time.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable, with his otherworldly and otherworldly appearance, took a step and arrived in front of Xiao Ping'an.
His Great Dao, which suppressed the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, vanished instantly and disappeared.
Upon seeing the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, a slight smile appeared on his face. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "This humble Daoist thanks the Overlord Heavenly Venerable."
Xiao Ping'an nodded and said, "It's nothing, don't mention it."
"I never imagined that I would see the Daode Heavenly Venerable again after a million years. It is truly a joyous occasion."
"Now that you have attained enlightenment again, and the Great Dao has been perfected, it is truly remarkable."
The face of the Daode Heavenly Venerable remained calm and serene.
" Overlord Heavenly Venerable. Compared to you, I am truly ashamed."
"If it weren't for the intervention of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, I would have been in serious trouble this time when I attained the Dao and became an Emperor."
"Although I had prepared some backup plans, without the righteous words of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, how could things have been so easy?"
The Daode Heavenly Venerable is a person with extremely keen divine senses. He had long sensed those Dark Supreme who wanted to attack him, but he was somewhat powerless to do anything about it.
At that time, I thought that if I survived this tribulation, I must kill them.
Unexpectedly, the Overlord Heavenly Venerable's move was so ruthless and domineering, killing a Dark Supreme with ease and successfully intimidating the other Dark Supreme.
This, ironically, made it difficult for the Daode Heavenly Venerable to act.
After all, those Dark Supreme didn't actually make a move; if they wanted to kill them, they wanted to find some reason, and weren't willing to kill them without cause.
If it were Xiao Ping'an, he definitely wouldn't care about these things.
As for a good reputation, he didn't care at all; he could just go up and kill them. But since the Daode Heavenly Venerable occupies the title of "Moral Celestial Venerable," it's clear that his Great Dao seems to be related to this as well, and his moral bottom line is higher than that of ordinary people.
He merely snorted coldly at those Dark Lords who had once harbored ambitions, and then let them go.
Although Xiao Ping'an did not approve of the Daode Heavenly Venerable's way of doing things, he still acknowledged his strength.
Xiao Ping'an hoped that the Daode Heavenly Venerable could also grow up and become an ally in the fight against Dark Weird.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable was filled with admiration for the powerful Overlord Heavenly Venerable, for although he had attained enlightenment earlier, his strength was still far inferior to that of the current Overlord Heavenly Venerable.
Although he was puzzled as to why the Overlord Heavenly Venerable possessed such formidable strength, he did not inquire about the secret behind it.
Every spiritual practitioner has their own secrets and will not reveal all their secrets to others.
The numerous Dark Supreme, seeing the Daode Heavenly Venerable's harmonious relationship with the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, felt this was not good news.
They really hoped that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Daode Heavenly Venerable would fight each other so they could reap the benefits.
Xiao Ping'an carefully observed the Daode Heavenly Venerable and discovered that he had not merged with the Dao Fruit of his previous life, but was truly born from a corpse communicating with a spirit.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
The Daode Heavenly Venerable, through the spiritual connection of the corpse, has once again proven his Dao.
This news caused a sensation throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The Overlord Heavenly Venerable Ba Tianzun roamed beyond the heavens, appearing and disappearing like a dragon, while the Daode Heavenly Venerable was a detached and tranquil person. They suddenly attained enlightenment, which truly felt like a dream.
With powerful figures like the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Daode Heavenly Venerable suppressing the world, no one dared to incite Dark Turmoil, making it a very peaceful and tranquil period.
Many people are looking forward to a great battle between the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Daode Heavenly Venerable to see who is stronger.
But no matter how maliciously they speculated, they could never have guessed the outcome.
With the Overlord Heavenly Venerable residing Underworld, the Underworld's power has grown increasingly stronger. While he may not rule the world, at least many people know of the Overlord of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, and even mortals in the Underworld world are aware of him.
Under the leadership and transformation of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, the Yin General Yin Soldier and generals of the Underworld are no longer as rampant as before.
They were like an ordinary forbidden zone. Even when the ghostly Yin Soldier Yin General inside went out, they no longer plundered the remains of that time. They were more focused on excavating ancient tombs and burial grounds from distant eras, trying their best not to disturb the people of those sacred sites and aristocratic families.
At Xiao Ping'an's invitation, the Daode Heavenly Venerable also entered the Netherworld Underworld cultivate.
He thrives here.
Now he sits cross-legged in the Yellow Springs, his appearance solemn and dignified, exuding an air of immortality, with the sounds of the Great Dao resounding.
Opposite him stood the invincible Overlord Heavenly Venerable.
At this moment, Xiao Ping'an looked at the Daode Heavenly Venerable as if trying to see through everything about him.
After the Daode Heavenly Venerable attained enlightenment anew, a mysterious mark appeared in his body, where countless visions manifested in the cycle of reincarnation.
That is the legendary Reincarnation Seal, which also represents the attainment of perfect Dao Fruit by the Lifetime Daode Heavenly Venerable.
After this round is over, this response will become exactly the same as the other Reincarnation Seal, mysterious and sacred.
Not everyone who dies can give birth to the Reincarnation Seal.
Three Reincarnation Seal have now appeared within the body of the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
Once this Reincarnation Seal is completely solidified, he will have four Reincarnation Seal.
On the path of reincarnation, he seems to be progressing faster than the current Netherworld Venerable.
The Netherworld Venerable erased all the previous Reincarnation Seal and started forming Reincarnation Seal from scratch, for reasons unknown.
I wonder if the Daode Heavenly Venerable will, like the Netherworld Venerable, have to start all over again this time.
" Daode Heavenly Venerable, do you remember your past?" Xiao Ping'an asked.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable sighed and looked at Xiao Ping'an, saying, "I have been diligently studying and practicing, hoping to attain the Dao and become an Emperor as soon as possible."
"I didn't think too much about many things, and I certainly didn't tell anyone my secrets."
"Since the Overlord Heavenly Venerable wants to know, then I naturally won't hide it from you."
The Daode Heavenly Venerable said solemnly, "I am different from the Netherworld Venerable you speak of. The Netherworld Venerable cuts down everything and starts anew."
"As for me, I don't remember anything from the past. I know that I've sealed it away, but I haven't actively opened it or tried to receive it."
"I am now using the same physical body as the Daode Heavenly Venerable of the past. Although I have re-attained enlightenment, I am still me. I am not the Daode Heavenly Venerable of the past."
At this point, a confident gleam appeared on the face of the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
"I only believe in this era!"
This Daode Heavenly Venerable truly lived Lifetime.
The path of reincarnation he walked, this peculiar Red Dust Immortal Path, holds many secrets.
He actually knew that Xiao Ping'an was also walking the Red Dust Immortal Path in the mortal world.
He had considered revealing this secret before, but now he felt there was no need to hide it from Overlord Heavenly Venerable anymore.
Now that the two are living in the same Lifetime, the Daode Heavenly Venerable can no longer live a new Lifetime by consuming the Immortal Divine Medicine.
However, the Overlord Heavenly Venerable still possesses abundant vitality, and even if the Daode Heavenly Venerable dies first, the Overlord Heavenly Venerable should still be alive.
When two people are exploring the Red Dust Immortal Path together, discussing profound truths and doctrines, they must be open and honest. If they keep things to themselves, they will ultimately suffer the consequences.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable said, "I have been resurrected several times and my corpses have been connected with spirits several times, but I cannot succeed in attaining enlightenment every time. Sometimes I fail at the last minute and cannot condense a complete Reincarnation Seal. I can only painfully shatter it and start cultivating again."
"If it weren't for the fact that I was killed or had my cycle of reincarnation broken multiple times throughout history, I might have already become Red Dust Immortal Ascension," said the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
Xiao Ping'an was very surprised to hear this news.
Unexpectedly, even while the Daode Heavenly Venerable was lying in his coffin, someone managed to sneak into it.
Even when his corpse was imbued with spirit power and he embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, he died due to various accidents.
If his body hadn't been strong enough, he might not have been able to escape.
Xiao Ping'an couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how he had once been chased like a dog chasing a rabbit by the Daode Heavenly Venerable.
"The Daoist Dao Scripture of the Daode Heavenly Venerable are indeed very mysterious and powerful. I myself have carefully studied the Dao Scripture and feel that I have benefited greatly from them," Xiao Ping'an said.
The Daode Heavenly Venerable nodded. "All past events have vanished with the wind."
"Back then, the Daode Heavenly Venerable buried himself, and his primordial spirit fell into annihilation, almost dying."
"After tens of thousands of years of gestation, the corpse regained its spiritual power and once again proved itself as emperor."
" The Daode Heavenly Venerable wanted to transcend the mortal world and Red Dust Immortal Ascension."
"And I, having undergone many transformations, embody the dream of the Daode Heavenly Venerable and the hope of becoming an immortal."
The Daode Heavenly Venerable revealed a secret from the past.
Clearly, these things were not the awakening of past memories by the Daode Heavenly Venerable, but rather messages passed down to him by crystals left over from his Lifetime.
"Back when the Daode Heavenly Venerable was still alive, he had already determined the path to becoming Mortal World Immortal through the unification of the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal."
"Destruction precedes construction, a cycle that repeats itself endlessly; one day, one Red Dust Flying Immortal."
The words of the Daode Heavenly Venerable are very tempting.
After hearing this, Xiao Ping'an also felt an urge to embark on the path of reincarnation.
But thinking about it, I decided against it.
He has his own Red Dust Immortal Path, which he walks faster and more steadily. There's no need for them to compete for him on that track anymore.
Knowing that Xiao Ping'an was very curious about his corpse's spiritual connection, the Daode Heavenly Venerable took the initiative to erase the Great Dao imprint on his body, allowing him to personally comprehend the Reincarnation Seal within him and explore his own body.
Xiao Ping'an immediately saw the three incomparably sacred halos emerging from the body of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, containing endless mysteries of the Great Dao.
Although it wasn't the first time Xiao Ping'an had comprehended the Reincarnation Seal, he was still deeply moved when he saw it again.
" The Daode Heavenly Venerable and the Netherworld Venerable are progressing on their respective paths to the Great Dao, which is truly enviable."
Having a worthy opponent to hone your skills on the same path is truly invaluable.
Xiao Ping'an said, "Your physical body is vibrant, but your primordial spirit is reborn after decay; you are two independent individuals."
"I'm curious, when the Nine-Lifetime Reincarnation Seal merge into one, who will be the master?"
"After all, the soul born from each instance of a corpse being summoned by a spirit is different."
