Chapter 472: Venerable Prison Suppression Technique

Tiny, illusory figures were continuously performing a Hand Technique.

From just that simple Hand Technique, mountains suddenly crumbled and tsunamis raged within Shen Daoxing’s mind. The world seemed to tear asunder, as if the apocalypse had come.

However, at that moment, a great hand slowly reached down from the sky. Upon it, the large, golden character for "Suppress" descended.

Instantly, everything fell silent. The tsunami stilled, the crumbling mountains froze, and all became tranquil.

"This... this is..."

Shen Daoxing suddenly felt a familiar power, one similar to that of the Huangliang’s Moment Divine Technique.

"This is a Divine Venerable Technique left behind by a past Venerable Supreme—the Venerable Prison Suppression Technique! It is a Great Divine Technique capable of sealing and suppressing all demons, devils, and monsters in the world!" the Blood Dragon’s voice slowly echoed in Shen Daoxing’s mind.

"A Great Divine Technique?" Shen Daoxing asked, stunned.

"That’s right!" the Blood Dragon said with a nod. "The Huangliang Divine Technique you previously comprehended from the Venerable Dharma Seal was merely at the Minor Achievement stage; it was something the Venerable Supreme of old created on a whim. This Venerable Prison Suppression Technique, however, is a true Divine Technique of Great Success! The Venerable Supreme’s ultimate art! It’s just a pity that the Divine Venerable Technique on this Ancient Stone Stele is incomplete. But even the single word ’Suppress’ is a Great Divine Technique in itself, no weaker than Huangliang’s Moment."

’The Venerable Prison Suppression Technique! A Great Divine Technique!’

Shen Daoxing couldn’t help his excitement. This was clearly one of the Venerable Supreme’s ultimate techniques, possessing immense power. Though it was incomplete, judging from the vision he’d just witnessed in his mind, its might was not to be underestimated.

’Since a Divine Venerable Technique was hidden within the Ancient Stone Stele, the remaining fragments of the Venerable Prison Suppression Technique are probably on the other Immortal Islands of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect. It seems I’ll have to pay a visit to the other Immortal Islands later.’

’But before that...’

Shen Daoxing promptly sat down to meditate. The one hundred and eight apertures in his body opened, and his Seven-Colored Profound Platform began to spin rapidly, frantically absorbing the Celestial-Origin Primordial Qi from the Ancient Stone Stele.

He hadn’t forgotten his purpose for coming here.

And so, the days passed. Shen Daoxing remained in meditation before the Ancient Stone Stele, absorbing a ceaseless stream of Celestial-Origin Primordial Qi.

Meanwhile, his Divine Soul, within the Venerable Domain, held two fingers up and murmured. One by one, large, golden characters for "Suppress" materialized and descended around him. He remained resolute and unmoving, whether battered by wind and sun or drenched by storms.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Shen Daoxing felt the shimmering light of the Seven-Colored Profound Platform within him as it spun faster and faster, its radiance growing ever more brilliant. It had doubled in size without him noticing, and its aura gradually swelled until it was no weaker than the patch of land below, which was coalesced from the Power of the Earth Source.

Within his Dantian, the two powers—the Earth Source and the Celestial Origin—gradually struck a new balance.

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing rose to his feet. He leaped into the air and began to fly, but not back to his main hall. Instead, he employed Sword Control, transforming into a streak of light that shot toward the Desert of Death, stopping before the Stone City at the desert’s heart.

Stone City was eerily silent. Only the yellow sand that filled the sky blew through the dilapidated streets and past the stone houses.

Now that the Celestial-Origin Power and the Power of the Earth Source within his body had reached a new equilibrium, Shen Daoxing needed to take the next step: fusing the two energies to forge the Supreme Golden Body.

And the best way to quickly fuse the powers of the Celestial Origin and Earth Source was through combat—by repeatedly forcing himself into perilous situations and seeking a breakthrough in the crucible of danger.

Shen Daoxing couldn’t help but smile.

’And it’s obvious that for a sparring partner, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter trapped in Stone City is far more suitable than the Flood Dragon in Yun Meng Lake.’

With that, he shot up, leaping into Stone City. He raised his arm high, and a brilliant black-gold light erupted from it.

"Venerable Invincible, Venerable Fist!"

Shen Daoxing abruptly punched downward, unceremoniously smashing his fist into the massive lake at the center of Stone City.

BOOM!

A tremendous roar echoed as the surface of the lake exploded, sending a colossal plume of water skyrocketing into the air.

Shen Daoxing’s fist slammed viciously onto the head of the sleeping Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter, caving in a huge section of it.

Instantly.

ROAR!

An immense, terrifying roar erupted from the depths of the lake.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter’s two large eyes on top of its head snapped open, wide with fury.

Hmph!

As the most terrifying demonic beast on Pengze Immortal Island, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter was something everyone desperately avoided. When had it ever suffered such a provocation?

SWOOSH!

Instantly, a crimson tentacle shot out from the lakebed. It rose high like a Tianze, positioned itself above Shen Daoxing’s head, and then smashed down viciously.

"Venerable Invincible, Venerable Fist!"

Shen Daoxing raised a black-gold arm. With a sound like metal shattering the air, he threw a ferocious punch.

BANG!

His fist landed squarely on the thick, crimson tentacle.

CRACKLE!

Black arcs of electricity flashed, and the surrounding space warped.

Both Shen Daoxing and the massive tentacle recoiled from the impact, then abruptly pulled back.

’The Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter truly lives up to its reputation as a mid-stage Refining Dust realm demonic beast,’ Shen Daoxing thought. ’Hitting its tentacle felt like striking Golden Essence Rock. My hand is a little numb.’

But as Shen Daoxing retreated, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter did not cease its assault.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

...

Several dark shadows suddenly appeared before Shen Daoxing. Five or six massive, long tentacles were already crashing down on him from all sides, blotting out the sky.

Just as they were about to strike him, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from Shen Daoxing’s entire body, and a seven-colored Wandering Dragon shot toward the heavens.

Heaven and Earth!

In the next moment, Shen Daoxing’s body swelled, transforming him into a titanic giant that touched the heavens and stood upon the earth. He shimmered with golden light, exuding an ancient, profound aura, his expression a mask of cold majesty.

He then raised his hands to either side, his massive, five-fingered palms easily snatching the crimson tentacles.

Then, with a mighty stomp, Shen Daoxing launched himself high into the sky. The Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter’s tentacles were pulled taut; he was actually trying to yank the entire creature out from the lakebed!

ROAR!

Another terrifying, immense roar echoed.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter suddenly opened its massive maw, and the entire lake’s worth of water funneled into its mouth before being violently spewed out.

A pillar of water, like a colossal column holding up the sky, shot upward and slammed violently into Shen Daoxing.

Stunned, Shen Daoxing quickly released the Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter’s tentacles and crossed his arms in front of his chest to defend himself.

He felt an immense force strike him, and his entire body was blasted high into the sky.

At that moment, five or six crimson tentacles shot out from behind Shen Daoxing. They wove together, flaring with brilliant red light. Accompanied by a whistle that seemed to tear the very air, they smashed downward with unstoppable, ferocious momentum.

They were about to strike home.
