The God of Heavens

Chapter 203 Lin Shengzhu

As the sun rises, the sacred land of Yaoguang shines with golden light.

Originally intended only to receive close allies, the Holy Land is now experiencing an unprecedented spectacle. Banners and canopies from the various schools of thought in the Central Plains, the four great dynasties, and major religious sects are surging towards the Yao Guang Holy Land like a tidal wave.

"Look! That's the Big Dipper Chariot of the Ziwei Sect!"

"Even the ascetic monks from the Western Desert have come!"

Exclamations of surprise occasionally rose from the crowd. Some of these uninvited guests wanted to forge a good relationship with the new Holy Lord, while many more wanted to witness firsthand what gave Yao Guang the confidence to be so arrogant in this chaotic world of the resurgence of the ancient races.
Before the Holy Land of Yao Guang, cultivators were as numerous as clouds, and rays of light shone everywhere. The auras of powerful beings from all walks of life intertwined, illuminating the entire sky with dazzling brilliance.

As the sundial's pointer pointed to Chen Shi (7-9 AM), nine chimes resounded through the sky. Everyone held their breath—

The enthronement ceremony of the Holy Lord has officially begun.

"clang--"

As the echoes of the nine bell tolled, the Yao Guang Holy Land suddenly opened. Two groups of white-robed disciples filed out, leading numerous representatives from various holy lands to the viewing platform. Elders such as Zhang Ling Shu and Xing Lan Zhenren stood on either side, their presence awe-inspiring and exuding holy power.

Suddenly, celestial music filled the sky, and two figures arrived riding on auspicious clouds. The man walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his heroic figure towering, each step seemingly treading upon a crucial point in the Great Dao; the woman's skirts fluttered, her skin as fair as jade, and wherever she passed, lotus flowers bloomed in the void, even the brightest pearls and the most beautiful jade paled in comparison to her.

"It's the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of Yao Guang!" The viewing platform immediately erupted in commotion.

Holding the Holy Lord's Seal, Li Daoqing's voice shook the heavens: "Today, in our Yao Guang Holy Land, the old and new dynasties rise and fall, and the Holy Lord changes hands!" He solemnly raised the black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns, "Lin Yu, with his extraordinary talent, is destined to inherit the throne!"

The cauldron blazed with dark light, and tens of thousands of black dragon phantoms rose into the air. The instant Lin Yu received the imperial weapon, the entire Yao Guang Divine City trembled violently, and the earth's dragon energy transformed into golden dragons coiling around the sacred mountain.

Yao Xi stood beside Lin Yu, with a moon-like ethereal light flowing around her. Her unparalleled beauty made even the sun and moon pale in comparison, and a dot of cinnabar between her brows added to her sacredness.

"Please, new Holy Ruler, proclaim this to the world!" Li Daoqing stepped back three steps and bowed deeply.

"Welcome to the Holy Lord!"

One hundred thousand cultivators chanted in unison, their voices echoing through the mountains. Lin Yu, clad in a dark gold Saint Lord's robe, slowly ascended the heavenly steps. With each step he took, a Dao lotus bloomed in the void; after nine steps, the entire holy land was transformed into a sea of ​​lotuses.

Suddenly, the black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns in his hand emitted boundless light.

"Today, I am the Holy Lord, and I shall bestow blessings upon all living beings."

Before the words were finished, boundless power of faith surged into the sky from the City of Yaoguang like a golden ocean.

That was the immense power of faith accumulated since the transformation of the Holy Land of Yao Guang! A golden ocean surged in the sky, reflecting the rising sun and dyeing the entire sky a brilliant gold.

Lin Yu stood in mid-air, holding the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron. The Hell Furnace manifested, and the Heavenly Pure Fire fused the vast power of faith with the essence of heaven and earth.

"Congeal!"

Following the Holy Lord's decree, the golden light transformed into countless divine runes, showering down upon the Yao Guang realm like snowflakes in March. Each rune shimmered with the Daoist patterns of life's origin, refracting a seven-colored glow under the sunlight.

"This is……"

On this day, hundreds of millions of mortals within the Yao Guang territory felt it.

An old farmer working in the fields suddenly felt his old ailments in his back and legs lessen; a child lying in bed found his pale face gradually regaining its rosy hue; an elderly man in his twilight years found his cloudy eyes clearing up again...

With the divine talisman upon you, all ailments will vanish, and your spirit will be refreshed!

This is the power of their devout faith, and now that the Holy Land of Yaoguang is using its supreme means to benefit all living beings, it naturally shocks them and strengthens their faith.

"Incredible..."

Within the Yao Guang Holy Land, many cultivators were also enveloped by divine talismans, feeling completely comfortable, their Dao foundations becoming subtly stable, and some even breaking through their bottlenecks on the spot.

"Giving rather than taking, this is the true path of faith!" an older cultivator exclaimed.

The Holy Land of Yaoguang has changed its past practice of "plundering" the power of faith. Instead, it uses its vast spiritual power to give back to all living beings. This kind of spirit shakes the hearts and minds of everyone present.

"Amitabha!" The old monk from the Western Desert clasped his hands together, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. "This is an act of great compassion from the Buddhist sect. Only when the Great Emperor Amitabha was alive could such a grand vow be made!"

Even more astonishing is that these divine runes disregard racial boundaries. A demon cultivator who caught a rune experienced his internal injuries instantly healed; the ancient envoys were surprised to find that the runes were equally effective on them.

Yao Xi stood beside the altar, gazing at the figure bathed in golden light. At this moment, Lin Yu seemed to have merged with the entire world.

She suddenly realized that this was the true way of the Holy Lord, not a lofty ruler, but a guide who leads all beings on the path to enlightenment.

Divine talismans fill the sky, bringing blessings to all spirits.

On this day, countless mortals within the Yao Guang territory received blessings, becoming physically strong and free from all diseases.

When the last divine talisman merged into the earth, vegetation grew wildly throughout the Yao Guang territory, dry wells began to flow again, and even the most barren lands were revitalized.

Countless mortals spontaneously knelt in worship, their heartfelt faith transforming into specks of golden light that converged once more toward the City of Yao Guang.

…………

As dawn broke and the golden light of blessing still lingered between heaven and earth, a hint of menace shattered the peaceful atmosphere. After all, in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, fists are the most direct form of power.

Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back atop Yao Guang Peak, his dark gold Saint Lord robes fluttering in the morning breeze. He raised his eyes to look north, his gaze turning cold.

"Everyone," his clear voice echoed in all directions, "Today, besides bestowing blessings, I also want the world to see one thing clearly." "Recently, the world has undergone dramatic changes, and there are always those who cannot see the situation clearly. They dare to despise my Yao Guang Holy Land and trample on the dignity of the human race."

"Today, in front of everyone, it's time to teach these arrogant clowns a lesson." As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the vast Taixu Sacred Realm unfolded with a roar.

Everyone felt dizzy and disoriented. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a vast and boundless plaza. Above the dome, a huge canopy hung like a mirror, reflecting the ever-changing sky.

Above the sky, the scene of the Valley of the Gods appeared clearly.

This ancestral land of the ancient royal family is located among thousands of mountains and valleys in the northern region. It was originally barren and desolate, but now, it is lush and vibrant with life.

In the heart of the mountains, towering, dark, demonic peaks stand like pillars supporting the sky. At the deepest peak, spiritual light soars into the heavens, dazzling even in daylight; that is the core of the Valley of the Gods.

Within the valley, countless ancient creatures stood ready. Some had four heads and eight arms, ferocious and terrifying; others had wings on their backs, their eyes cold and sharp; and still others were ancient beasts with bodies as large as mountains, lurking and exuding a fierce aura.

Facing the extreme power of Yao Guang, they dared not be careless in the slightest and had already set up multiple killing formations, even locking the void with restrictions.

However, they failed to notice that, high above in the sky, an ancient dimensional gate was silently opening!
"Rumble--"

War drums thundered, and iron hooves shattered the void. A massive, murderous army surged forth like a torrent, beasts roared, divine chariots rolled across the sky, and war fortresses pressed down. Banners fluttered, bearing the two characters "Yao Guang," their strokes sharp as swords, and a chilling aura swept across the land!

"It's the army of the Yao Guang Holy Land!" a cultivator exclaimed in front of the sky.

"Lord Lin has just ascended to the throne, and he immediately sends troops to destroy the sect? This is too much." Someone gasped.

“Still calling him the Holy Son? He should be called the Holy Lord now!” someone corrected, their voice trembling.

Before the Valley of the Gods, a towering figure stood at the forefront of the army. He was radiant with heroic spirit, his eyes like stars, and the Origin Heaven Divine Runes covered the entire army formation. He was none other than Zhang Lin, the Origin Heaven Master from ten thousand years ago!

Lin Yu stood atop Yao Guang, his gaze deep and unfathomable, looking out over the battlefield.

With his abilities, destroying the Divine Valley would be a matter of a snap of his fingers, but this battle is not just about killing; it is about showing the true foundation and strength of Yao Guang to all the ancient races.

After all, those ancient royal families that have been lying low are still probing, precisely because they don't know how many Saint-level beings the human race still harbors.

"What a pity," Lin Yu sighed inwardly.

Most of the ancient ancestors sealed away in Yao Guang were barely clinging to life, and Lin Yu was genuinely worried that their frail bodies would be dismantled by the Primordial Ancestral Kings. Who knows what the human race might say then, but the ancient races would surely be laughing all the way to the bank.

At this moment, on the battlefield, Zhang Lin's voice shook the heavens:

"Today, the Divine Valley is removed from the list! Our Yao Guang Holy Land will guard the Northern Region and restore peace and prosperity to the human race!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Yao Guang army roared, their roar like thunder. Within the battle formation, strange beasts surged, divine chariots crushed the air, and war fortresses spewed destructive divine light. Beneath each banner, a powerful leader formed a massive killing formation, crushing towards the Valley of Gods!

"boom--"

The Valley of the Gods trembled violently, and monstrous demonic energy surged into the sky!

For countless millennia, from the earliest times until now, they have always looked down upon all living beings, slaughtering humanity. Who could have imagined that today they would be besieged by a human army?
"presumptuous!"

A furious roar, like a thunderclap, resounded. On the altar of the Divine Valley, the towering Ancestral King, as majestic as a small mountain, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly reflecting the creation and destruction of the universe, the opening of heaven and earth. Forty-nine pairs of divine wings slowly unfurled behind him, each feather swirling with ancient runes, and demonic energy instantly engulfed the entire altar.

"Humans... actually dare to invade?!"

In the distance, countless ancient beings surged forth from ancient palaces. Some had blade-like bone spurs on their backs, while others were covered in scales, exuding a terrifying killing intent. Although they could not compare to the supreme royal families that had produced ancient emperors, as true royalty, they possessed the same aura of ruling the world!

"Kill! Wash away the Yao Guang clan in blood!"

"Capture the Holy Son of Yao Guang alive and make him kneel to his death outside the valley!"

The roar shattered the clouds. The entire Valley of Gods erupted in commotion, with countless powerful ancient clans soaring into the sky, and demonic clouds blotting out the sun.

The ancestral king on the altar swept his gaze across the crowd, and everyone instantly fell silent. That gaze seemed to pierce through countless ages, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Has the Holy Son of Yao Guang arrived yet?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the group is led by an unfamiliar Ancestral King. Lin Yu is still in the Holy Land," an ancient creature reported in a trembling voice.

"Heh," the old ancestor sneered, his hunched body slowly straightening. "The human race does indeed still have some hidden strength. What a pity."

"boom!"

Three terrifying auras soared into the sky!

The first to appear was an ancient ancestral king with flowing purple hair, forty-nine pairs of divine wings spread behind him, and hundreds of divine halos around him. Every step he took distorted the void.

The second figure was wrinkled all over like withered tree bark, clearly nearing the end of his life, but his eyes were more terrifying than the stars. This was the current ancestor of the Divine Valley!
The last to appear, the Ancestral King, was the most terrifying. With a roar, his surging demonic energy directly obscured the stars and moon in the sky. His eyes reflected a horrifying scene of collapsing mountains and rivers and the falling sun. With a single step, he shattered a thousand miles of void!
"For the first time since ancient times, no human has dared to wage war against our race."

The ancestral king's divine wings vibrated, and countless ancient divine runes emerged, transforming into chains of laws that suppressed heaven and earth. His voice transformed into the heavenly hymn, causing the blood and qi of the Yao Guang army to surge:

"Today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

The three ancestral kings attacked simultaneously!

The sky is falling!
