During the battle, Liang Yu bled multiple times, but he also left scars on the Four Supreme.
In terms of offense, Liang Yu was not at a disadvantage, but in defense, even with the Pagoda Creation Qiankun protecting him, he would still be injured.
Liang Yu used the Zhe Character Secret combined with the Divine Spirit Resurrection Art to heal his injuries multiple times, but he still consumed a large amount of vital energy and blood, and the injuries left from his tribulation began to worsen as a result.
Therefore, Liang Yu remained calm in the face of danger, shrinking his surrounding Eternal Divine Kingdom inward, merging the Divine Emperor phantom with his true body, and combining it with the Lin Character Secret to form an unbreakable, invulnerable protective divine light.
Within his body, the Five Secret Realms glowed, and countless divine spirits and Dao venerables chanted scriptures, gradually nurturing a terrifying aura, as if about to ascend to immortality.
With the blessing of this protective divine light, Liang Yu fought with increasing ferocity, and the Eight Great Divine Seals continuously evolved, gradually gaining the upper hand.
After the attacks of the Four Supreme touched this divine light, the damage caused became increasingly low, eventually even melting directly and being swallowed.
The chanting within Liang Yu's body grew louder, and his offensive became more rapid; even the Eight Great Divine Seals evolved by the Dou Character Secret grew stronger, and the Four Supreme gradually began to retreat.
"You are actually using us to cultivate!" Supreme Yuanchen was the first to notice this phenomenon, and while he was furious, he also felt a pang of sorrow.
Because the strength of this opponent had indeed exceeded his imagination; even at his peak, he was no match for Liang Yu.
The Other Three Supremes were first startled, then also noticed this point.
But tragically, they were helpless.
As time passed, they would only grow weaker and weaker; if they couldn't break through now, it would be even more impossible once their condition declined.
Most crucially, it was useless for them to run; after sublimation, death was almost certain, and even inciting a Dark Turmoil wouldn't save them.
When Liang Yu cultivated, he inherently integrated various miscellaneous scriptures and secret arts, from which he then nurtured the Dou Character Secret that could evolve everything; this process itself was somewhat similar to Ye Fan's "furnace nurturing a hundred scriptures."
However, Ye Fan's "furnace nurturing a hundred scriptures" was to nurture his own unique invincible method and invincible body, while Liang Yu's integration of myriad laws was to comprehend a supreme method that could contain all laws and undergo infinite transformations.
Liang Yu named this path "Myriad Laws Through Heaven."
When the attacks of the Four Supreme entered his body, they would be continuously dismantled and analyzed, and their profound mysteries would be integrated into the transformations of the Dou Character Secret.
Under this trend of ebb and flow, the Four Supreme found it increasingly difficult to shake Liang Yu's body, while Liang Yu's offensive techniques became even more incisive due to absorbing their four laws.
The outcome was already decided; the Four Supreme faced unavoidable death.
Finally, Supreme Cangming, with insufficient vital energy and declining condition, was burned to ashes by Liang Yu's Taiyang Divine Seal.
The remaining three faced greatly increased pressure and soon found themselves overwhelmed.
As soon as Supreme Yuanchen's vital energy declined, Liang Yu seized the opportunity to lock his form with the Heaven Sealing Divine Seal and smash him into pieces with the Fantian Seal, causing him to explode into a mist of blood.
The remaining two were even less able to resist.
Soon, Emperor Yama was trapped by the three great worlds of past, present, and future, evolved by Liang Yu's Reincarnation Seal, and ground into dust.
Purple Zenith Sacred Supreme sighed, no longer stubbornly resisting, and chose to dissolve into the Dao, leaving behind only a shattered Purple Zenith Divine Lamp.
The treasure pagoda above Liang Yu's head vibrated, sucking in the Book of Life and Death, the Purple Zenith Divine Lamp, the Endless Sea Eye, the Star Constellation Divine Sand, and the remaining corpses of the Four Supreme.
These four ultimate divine weapons had been largely shattered, but their divine essence could still allow the Pagoda Creation Qiankun to advance further.
As for the flesh and blood of the Four Supreme, they had extraordinary uses.
After absorbing all of this, the Pagoda Creation Qiankun displayed an extraordinary near-immortal Dao rhyme.
Liang Yu did not put away his four-faced, eight-armed Dharma body, but continued to stand in the starry sky, coldly looking at the restless Supremes.
Three days passed, and all Supreme auras disappeared.
Only then did Liang Yu put away his Dharma body; a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he tore open the void to arrive at the other side of the universe and sit down.
Within his body, vital energy and blood surged, and the Five Secret Realms glowed, reflecting countless dense, almost imperceptible, tiny scars.
In this state, he seemed like a shattered porcelain approaching disintegration.
Just as Liang Yu began to circulate the Zhe Character Secret to heal his injuries, a bell rang.
Liang Yu immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his lustrous black hair instantly turned white.
This was the power of the Immortal Bell!
The Immortal Bell is one of the three great Immortal Artifacts in the Sheltering Heaven world; the other two are the Desolate Pagoda and the Green Cauldron.
Among them, the Desolate Pagoda was refined by Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and the Green Cauldron was jointly refined by Emperor Zun and Nether Emperor with the aid of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, even causing the decline of countless ancient life stars as a result.
The origin of the Immortal Bell is mysterious; it may have been naturally nurtured by Kunlun Immortal Mountain, or it may have had a predecessor that was merely discovered within the Immortal Mountain.
Legend has it that when the Immortal Bell rings, it can make people return to youth; when the bell stops, it can make people turn white-haired in an instant.
Clearly, the Immortal Bell contains the Time Law.
During the Mythological Era, the Immortal Bell was in the hands of the Kunlun.
Later, Emperor Zun attacked Kunlun Immortal Mountain to seize the Immortal Bell, but the Immortal Bell escaped.
Thus, he could only settle for the next best thing and, together with Nether Emperor, refined the Myriad Things Source Cauldron, also known as the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Later, Undying Heavenly Emperor once comprehended the mysteries of the Immortal Bell and, suspected to have used the Immortal Bell as bait, triggered the Primordial Divine War.
The Human Emperor Seal was damaged in this battle, and the gourd that Ye Fan once used to slay Wang Teng was also severely damaged at this time.
After this battle, Undying Heavenly Emperor gathered Emperor blood and flesh for a new round of Nirvana.
But at this point in time, Emperor Zun had not yet been born, so the Immortal Bell was still in the hands of the Kunlun.
Liang Yu's eyes glowed with divine light as he looked into the distance, seeing a snake-shaped figure with the Immortal Bell above its head.
This Supreme had a human face, a jackal body, and a pair of wings on his back; immortal light overflowed as his snake tail swept.
Liang Yu said, "So it's a fellow Daoist from the Kunlun, Huashe Supreme.
How is Brother Ying Shenxiao doing now?"
Ying Shenxiao was the Kunlun Immortal Blood whom Liang Yu ultimately defeated, from the Yingzhao clan of the Kunlun.
Huashe Supreme snorted coldly, "Thanks to you, the supreme immortal blood that my Kunlun painstakingly cultivated could only choose to self-seal."
Liang Yu continued, "There's nothing to be done; it's just his bad luck to have encountered me.
If he had met someone else, like you, Brother Shenxiao would certainly have been able to win and prove the Dao."
Huashe Supreme sneered, "You can only use your tongue.
Trying to stall for time to heal your wounds?
Unfortunately, I won't give you that chance; you'd better obediently accept death.
Your divine blood is actually not weaker than Kunlun Immortal Blood; I will enjoy it thoroughly."
Liang Yu said indifferently, "Are you so confident you can take me down?"
Huashe said, "You just passed your tribulation and immediately fought four sublimated Supremes; you must be severely injured, right?
Do you think by forcefully enduring, it won't be noticed?
Moreover, I have the Immortal Bell protecting me; even if your injuries aren't that severe, how can you block the Immortal Bell?"
Liang Yu looked into the distance, sighed deeply, and his injuries were suppressed, his white hair turning black again.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard ruined my great plan!"
Huashe was somewhat shocked, "How could you still suppress your injuries?
How could there be such a powerful one-life Enlightenment Prover in this world?"
Fortunately, the Immortal Bell above his head gave him confidence.
He composed himself and said, "There are no eternal enemies in the world.
I was angry and attacked because Shenxiao was defeated by your hand, ruining my Kunlun's plan.
Now I can't take you down, and you can't break through the Immortal Bell, so why don't we each retreat?"
Liang Yu silently put away the Pagoda Creation Qiankun and suspended another pagoda above his head.
Huashe immediately felt a chill from head to toe, "The Desolate Pagoda! You actually found the Desolate Pagoda!"
Liang Yu's eyes blazed with killing intent, "Huashe, if you hadn't brought the Immortal Bell, I could have drawn out more than one Supreme.
I hid this Desolate Pagoda for three hundred years, and I didn't even use it when facing four sublimated Supremes, but today, you, this greenhorn, exposed it with the Immortal Bell.
If you don't die, my hatred will be hard to dispel."
Liang Yu was indeed somewhat exasperated.
He had hidden the Desolate Pagoda for many years, deliberately making things difficult for himself, precisely to pull off a big one here, to draw out more Supremes and suppress them with the Desolate Pagoda.
For this, he had indeed suffered serious injuries, but they were not fundamental, so they wouldn't affect his combat power in the short term.
Although his previous performance was powerful, most Supremes would not believe that he was uninjured.
He deliberately maintained his Dharma form for three days to make them feel that he might be bluffing and barely holding on.
This way, when his injuries surfaced and his aura declined, it might draw out some Supremes who didn't have much time left to take a risk.
As a result, Huashe came directly with the Immortal Bell, and a single strike caused a tiny trace of the Desolate Pagoda's aura to leak out.
Huashe, being the one directly involved, couldn't sense it in time due to the Immortal Bell's powerful aura, but the observing Supremes felt this completely different immortal energy.
Liang Yu's previous conversation with him was to stall for time, to see if any Supreme would lose their composure, but the other Supremes were all startled away by the leaked aura of the Desolate Pagoda.
In the original timeline, Huashe was captured alive when Emperor Zun attacked the Kunlun and sealed on the Immortal Ascension Road as a sacrifice.
Now that he's run into Liang Yu, why be a sacrifice? Just die directly.
Huashe Supreme quietly activated immortal light and retreated backward, "The Immortal Ascension Road is not far; why should we fight fiercely?
Fellow Daoist is indeed profoundly blessed; our Kunlun is willing to form an eternal alliance with you.
If you act against me, the other five fellow Daoists of my Kunlun will not stand idly by."
Facing Liang Yu, who possessed the Desolate Pagoda, Huashe instantly lost all confidence.
Unless he returned to Kunlun Immortal Mountain and relied on the other Supremes and the natural formation of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, he was no match.
Therefore, he could only hope that Liang Yu would not completely antagonize him, considering the Kunlun's heritage.
Liang Yu said fiercely, "I don't need such a weak ally as you; you'd better die.
And this Immortal Bell, you must leave it for me."
Huashe Supreme urged the Immortal Bell to flee at full speed.
Are you kidding? The Immortal Bell isn't afraid of the Desolate Pagoda, but he is much weaker than Liang Yu, and even if he sublimated, he wouldn't be Liang Yu's opponent.
In this situation, the Immortal Bell couldn't protect him either.
However, at this moment, he was also cursing inwardly, "Who the hell taught you to do this?
This is too insidious, isn't it?
The simple folk customs of our era are going to be led astray by you!"
Liang Yu, filled with anger, showed no mercy in his attacks.
He quickly caught up, and the nine layers of the Desolate Pagoda emitted streams of immortal light, directly knocking the Immortal Bell off Huashe's head.
Huashe immediately sublimated, but he was still no match.
Liang Yu attacked with full force, causing his blood to splatter across the starry sky, directly killing him and granting him the treatment of an Emperor Zun.
