The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 295 Young Man Li Stands at Attention (Happy College Entrance Exam!)

"You're in big trouble!"

The old, black dog bared its teeth and snarled, seriously threatening the pretty young girl.

"Wow, does that mean I'm doomed?!" Yao Yao exclaimed after a moment of stunned silence.

She looked panicked, but her eyes remained calm. She stretched out her fair and delicate hand and rubbed the dog's head, which was almost touching her, with lightning speed.

After a moment of blankness, the black dog gritted its teeth, its few remaining dull fur standing on end, and its few jagged, rotten teeth grinding together.

"Woof! I'm going to eat you, you little brat!"

It flew into a rage and opened its blood-red maw to bite.

Yao Yao was somewhat "disturbed." Her intuition told her that these two strange creatures who had suddenly appeared wouldn't hurt her, but she hadn't expected the black dog to react so strongly.

"It's over, I've been bitten by a dog, I'm unclean now!" she cried, wiping away her tears.

"..." The corpse looked at the girl who was acting pretentiously, but whose eyes were actually completely devoid of emotion, and the corner of its mouth twitched involuntarily.

Good, good, good. No wonder she has the air of an old friend. So she's a descendant of an old friend. This blond girl is obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing. She's definitely that person's descendant!

"A familiar taste... this girl is truly a descendant of Ye Hei!" The black dog smacked its lips, making the most accurate judgment, for it had once tasted the blood of the Heavenly Emperor.

Yao Yao's ancestral blood has been revived several times, and now her bloodline is almost on par with her original parents, containing endless divine power. Once released, it will be enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

Of course, she did not rely on the power of her bloodline. Instead, she tried her best to comprehend and master the power within her bloodline and make it completely her own.

They even wanted to eliminate the part that they controlled, focusing instead on willfulness and confidence.

"Why are you chasing me?" Yao Yao ran frantically across the far north with mysterious steps, while a skinny black dog relentlessly pursued her.

She tried to escape, but it chased after her; she had no way to escape!

The black dog remained silent, only watching the girl's steps with increasing astonishment. The more it looked at this thing, the more it resembled the earth-shattering divine power created by that person.
The corpses seemed to vaguely realize something, but before they arrived in the mortal realm, they severed their memories of meeting Shaohua with their own swords.

"Don't run away, we have a task for you."

Yao Yao ultimately couldn't escape and was forced to join them, her beautiful face showing a mixture of sorrow and despair.

What a mess! It's bad enough that I accidentally wandered into the mortal realm, but I never expected to be grabbed by an old dog and forced to work.

"Interesting, I didn't expect them to meet first." Not far away, Shao Hua, who had witnessed everything, smiled, while Xi Huang, standing beside her, covered his mouth and chuckled.

The seemingly fierce battle between the extraterrestrial martial arts fanatic and Li Sanlong was nothing more than child's play to them, and not worth mentioning at all.

In comparison, the drama of acquaintances meeting old friends is much more interesting.

“That little girl has extraordinary talent. She is not only the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, but also inherited your legacy. It’s possible that they will cause chaos in the mortal realm.” With his discerning eye, the Western Emperor immediately saw Yao Yao’s unusual talent. Such talent could not be explained or achieved by simply reviving the ancestral bloodline.

Now that they've joined forces with Black Emperor and Duan De, they're destined to stir up trouble.

"I'm really looking forward to it, after all, she's also my grand-disciple who took on the role of my disciple." Shao Hua clarified the relationship between the two.

The Western Emperor chuckled, his voice clear and melodious. I've only ever heard of a master taking on a disciple, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone take on a disciple on behalf of another disciple and actively seek out a grand-disciple for themselves.

"In that case, I should prepare a gift for her too." She pondered for a moment, then waved her hand, sending a stream of light flying silently into the distance.

Although the Martial Madman and Li Sanlong had already started their battle in the outer realms, many old monsters were still watching the corpse and the dog in the far north, feeling a sense of horror!

Because the Black Emperor and Duan De were active in the extremely distant prehistoric era of the mortal realm, not everyone was unaware of their identities, and they left indelible marks on ancient history books and stone carvings.

Some beings who had lived through countless ages and cycles of time recognized their identities and were so shocked that their hearts nearly stopped.

These two guys have an incredibly powerful background; they once followed a truly supreme being!

Moreover, the fact that they have been searching for something in prehistoric times and has now reappeared in the world is something worth pondering. Are those supreme powerhouses from the past still around? Or have they truly vanished completely?
Has that indescribable and unfathomable glorious era truly come to an end?!
In that era, the heavens fell, the cycle of reincarnation collapsed one after another, the otherworldly realms wailed, and all the heavens and myriad worlds were engulfed in flames of war.
At that time, there was no such thing as the underworld or the mortal world. It is said that the three realms were created by a few supreme beings using the remnants of countless worlds, and were left as a sanctuary for future generations.

However, even the era of those supreme emperors has passed, yet these two are still alive, which is the greatest miracle in the world!

"I'm not seeing things, am I? Is this the Dog Emperor? And the other person, who looks like a rotting corpse, also resembles the legendary Venerable One!"

"Didn't they say they died in prehistoric times? Did they find the relics of the Heavenly Emperor and survive by forcibly entering the underworld, or did they crawl back from the netherworld?!"

Some people, after thinking about it carefully, always felt a chill down their spine.

They were reclusive old monsters in the eyes of the world, but compared to these two guys with unparalleled backgrounds, they were nothing more than a bunch of greenhorns.

"boom!"

In a magnificent landscape, an ancient prehistoric creature lost control, causing a large portion of its burrow to collapse.

While deep in thought, he failed to control his powerful inner energy.

There's no way around it; the events of today were just too astonishing, with all sorts of chaos erupting, even unsettling some of the old monsters.

Some people even linked the strange behavior of the Tower of Babel to the appearance of these two guys.

"What are you looking at? Young people these days have no manners. They fight at the drop of a hat and like to peep. The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. It's really awful!"

The black dog noticed many eyes watching it and began cursing. Then, it led the newly captured laborers into the barren, chaotic wasteland.

"All things return to dust, eras rise and fall, the river of time flows on, who can last forever? In the end, all will pass away. I have written the old stories of the heavens and recorded the paths of the heroes. Now I have returned, determined to uncover the truth of each era!"

The rotting corpse beside him also ran away; these were his last words.

Upon hearing this, the old monsters from all over the mortal realm felt uneasy, especially some ancient ancestors with families. Thinking of certain records in the historical books, they felt that their ancestral graves were in danger!

Beyond the realm, the Martial Maniac withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his back, and looked indifferently at the withered old man before him, saying, "Li, have you really returned? Others are neither human nor ghost, but since you have crawled back from the underworld, I am determined to settle both the old and new scores!"

"Hmph, you dare to bring up old grudges and new hatred? I haven't even settled accounts with you for that grand scheme back then, and all sorts of monsters and demons have already come out. As for new grudges, that's your own fault for doing many unrighteous things. Don't make false accusations. Now that I'm back, I'm going to overturn everything!" Li Da shouted.

His gray hair was disheveled and flying wildly. The banner in his hand fluttered in the wind. He raised one arm and struck the sky with a single blow, shaking the thirty-three heavens!

The greatest showdown in history has begun!
Two beings of unparalleled power, unmatched throughout history, engaged in a life-or-death struggle. It was an exceptionally terrifying and truly earth-shattering battle, with their blood energy surging like a vast ocean, engulfing the darkness and coldness of the outer realms and shattering the desolate, chaotic land.

This battle is destined to leave a profound mark on the history of the mortal realm. With every gesture of the two, the heavens and earth trembled, like two galaxies colliding, shaking the past, present, and future, threatening to shatter the thirty-three heavens. The chaotic energy surged, threatening to obliterate even the Great Dao!
At this moment, a projection descended from the endless sky, as if some extraterrestrial beings had been startled and turned their gaze down to watch the great battle on earth.

"The little madman seems crazy but is actually mad. He looks flamboyant and domineering, with an invincible aura, but inside he is cautious and timid, lacking something." Shao Hua shook his head and glanced up at him, seeing through the madman's true nature.

Simply put, it has some things, but not much.

“Not bad. To have achieved such success in this era is something to be proud of. However, the other person seems more interesting. I see that lineage in him, and, well, there’s also a bit of your shadow,” the Western Emperor said.

"He only gained a few minor flaws." Shao Hua narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Li Da as he vigorously waved the battle flag.

That one glance revealed the difference between the two people.

A flag isn't something just anyone can raise.

How many people in the world dare to use a battle flag as a weapon? Not only must they possess extraordinary talent and strength, but they must also have the charisma to lead the masses and an extremely strong personal charm!

"Heh, haha."

The madman roared to the sky, arrogant and domineering, like the most terrifying madman. The ground where he stood collapsed rapidly, turning pitch black. Then, he violently erupted, splitting into seven, each as powerful as his true form, all attacking the figure holding the large banner.

"kill!"

The world exploded, and Li faced a group of enemies alone. His body was like the blazing sun, bursting out with dazzling light. He seemed immortal and indestructible, and he was going to fight seven enemies by himself. He waved his banner and used his fingers to unleash peerless sword energy and unleash the strongest fist imprint, which made the universe and the starry sea tremble.

The ultimate path leads to the pinnacle of creation. He cultivates only one true body to be invincible in the world. This is his belief and the path he has chosen, which has never changed. He aims to break through all laws with his own strength.

This also shows that the two people have completely different paths and beliefs. Even if there were no grudges or conflicts in the past, they would eventually have a major battle.

"boom!!"

The intense collision and the explosive release of energy caused the birth and burning of rules and order to change in an instant. The two fought to the death, their blood splattering, and the sound of bones breaking echoed in the outer realm.

The madman laughed wildly, as if possessed by a demon, like an immortal emperor descending to earth, dominating the world, or an immortal king descending to earth, extremely fierce. He changed his nine realms again, and seven more dead bodies were created.

He displayed his madness, his bloodlust overwhelming like that of a tyrant. With his last dozen or so bodies emerging, the sky collapsed and the stars sank, his power crushing Li Da, blood splattering everywhere, and bones about to break and fly away.

"Li, you shouldn't have come back. You're dead now. Time has passed, the world has changed, and you can no longer fight me. There's no point in you coming back!" the madman shouted.

"One force pervades all heavens, one body melts all paths!"

Li Da roared, his voice shaking the heavens and the netherworld, causing all the Dao to resonate and echo. Boundless power descended, and with a boom, his body rapidly expanded, transforming into an invincible Dao body. Even a single strand of his hair was far larger than a star.

"These few dead bodies are nothing but heretics; I'll crush them with my own strength!"

His body glowed, radiating a rich vitality. His gray hair gradually turned black, and he became handsome and dashing, regaining his former unparalleled charm. His aura shook heaven and earth.

Now, he is so heroic and imposing, and most importantly, he exudes an aura of self-confidence. His aging body is instantly revived, restored to its peak, and blooms as brilliantly as a summer flower.

"Hmph, so you're going to die after all. You deliberately left that tattered cloth to frame me back then, did you ever think this day would come? It seems you've finally reaped what you sowed for your underhanded tactics."

The madman was very surprised, but remained indifferent. Finally, he asked, "Was my previous ambush related to you?"

"You! Bullshit!" Li Da was immediately enraged and his hair stood on end in anger.

What do you mean by deliberately harming someone? So many people were attacking him back then, and he accidentally lost that priceless treasure. He must have been heartbroken for years. Retribution? Retribution my foot!
"What do I care if you get ambushed? Don't try to pin this on me. You're just asking for trouble. I only regret that I wasn't back then, otherwise I would have killed you!" he cursed.

I only did a little more dirty tricks before, so why is there so much prejudice against him?

Is this appropriate?

This is inappropriate!
"You killed my disciple and severed my Dao body. Even if you didn't do it, you must be a shameless person just like you. Since you don't admit it, I'll send you on your way now!" The Martial Madman's face became even more gloomy, clearly not believing Li Heishou's words.

The final battle erupted. Li Da's power was ultimately just a last gasp before his strength gave out. Soon, his regretful sigh was heard, and true blood splattered, causing stars to fall like rain. The entire starry sky collapsed and dimmed, turning the sea of ​​stars into a dead land, with destruction everywhere.

"From this day forward, there will be no more Li in this world!" the madman of martial arts declared indifferently, his presence in the darkness resembling that of a demon lord.

Although he had been ambushed and lost most of his strength, and was not at his peak, he still managed to win the final victory after paying a heavy price.

"An era has come to an end!" someone in the mortal realm sighed.

In the far north, Shaohua retrieved the fragment of the burning Imperial Banner. Her outstretched slender hand suddenly paused. What had she heard?
"That little madman said what you have in your hand is just a rag."

The Western Emperor chuckled and said, "Oh, he also said you're a shameless person."

Shao Hua remained silent, raised an eyebrow, and tossed the still-burning fragment in her hand into the outer realm.

In an instant, a stream of light, like fire, shot into the sky, burning the dark heavens. Unknown chanting arose, and the endless Great Dao itself began to burn.

A miracle occurred. Li Da's body, which had already perished, was now recombining from the splattered blood and bones, and his dissipated soul light was being summoned back, returning with an awe-inspiring power!

This was truly terrifying. The madman suddenly turned around, his eyes gleaming.

"This is outrageous! What kind of technique is this? No wonder Li Heishou was able to make a triumphant return!"

Gasps of shock echoed throughout the mortal realm, as the ancient monsters drained the surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) of several levels.

"I died and then came back to life?!"

Of course, the one who was most frightened was actually Li Da, whose true form, hidden in an unknown place, almost rose from the coffin.

No, he was already beaten to death, how could he come back to life?
This is brewed irrationally!

"I'll give you one more chance. Beat this little madman to death." Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice echoed in Li Da's heart after his resurrection.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Li Sanlong immediately stood at attention and readily agreed without any hesitation.

The madman quietly backed away, frowning as he asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Li Da remained expressionless, unmoved by the questioning. With his hands behind his back, he looked down and roared, "What business is it of yours whether I'm a human or a ghost? You think you can kill me, you mad dog? You're nothing but a chicken! I spared your life just now, but this time I'll kill you!"
