Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 106 Another Person Killed

A cold glint flashed in their eyes; this was truly terrible news.

He was in the third stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm, yet he killed a master from the Sendai Secret Realm. This was truly astonishing. He leaped seven realms in one go and slaughtered the enemy with overwhelming force.

After nine transformations, the dragon leaps to the heavens; only when the great dragon of the spine reaches perfection can it enter the final secret realm of the human body—the Immortal Platform.

Ascend along the spine of the dragon to the "Sentai" and enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. This is a pure land, a supreme celestial haven, and a place of boundless potential!

Whether they are supreme elders, great powers, peerless god-kings, or even saints, they all stop at this secret realm—the Sendai.

Sendai is the last secret realm of the human body, and it is very different from the previous four secret realms. It can be said that there is a fundamental difference between them.

This secret realm is incredibly difficult to traverse; each step forward is like ascending to a higher level, with vastly different levels of strength at each level.

To advance from one level of heaven to another, there is an insurmountable chasm between them, making it difficult to cross and extremely hard to succeed. One can imagine how difficult it is to cultivate in the Sendai Secret Realm.

It can be said that the distance between each level of this final secret realm is equivalent to the difference between the previous major secret realms!
Almost all the supreme elders of the holy lands are on the first level of the Sendai Heaven. Among them, the best are half-step great beings, who are at the pinnacle of the first level of the Heaven and are only half a step away from entering the second level.

Now, Li Yao has directly crossed a great secret realm and quickly killed the Immortal Platform experts. This is no longer the seventh level of forbidden realm, but a true eighth level of forbidden realm!
Because the Seven Forbiddens could never do it that fast!

"buzz"

With a tremor in the void, the four Supreme Elders simultaneously unleashed their combined innate primordial energy, condensing it into a vast landscape painting that pressed down like a vast sky.

"brush!"

Li Yao fled far away, not taking the attack head-on. Although the four Supreme Elders were all at the initial stage of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform Realm, their strengths were different.

Each level of Sendai is equivalent to a great secret realm in the past, and unlike the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, and Four Extremes which only have four or five minor realms, it is like the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, where each level of Sendai is equivalent to nine minor realms.

In terms of the initial stage, intermediate stage, and peak stage, these three stages are further divided into early, middle, and late stages, which can also be referred to as the nine heavens.

The five Supreme Elders were all at the initial stage of the first level of the Immortal Platform, but the one just now was only at the first level. The four of them were already at the second level, and one of them was even at the third level, which had already surpassed the scope of the Eight Forbidden Zones.

"Wow!"

That vast landscape painting, like an unfathomable abyss, flew over and almost imprisoned him inside.

Li Yao retreated again, like a dragon soaring across the sky, unleashing the secret technique of the character "行" (xing), and instantly retreated dozens of miles.

Although his combat power was limited to the eighth minor realm, he remained calm. He possessed an unparalleled great technique, and his Xingzi Secret Technique was enough to make him stand out even among the most powerful saints. If he were determined to escape, these four would not be able to catch him.

"Where do you think you're going!" the four Supreme Elders shouted, each exhaling a breath of innate essence and merging it into the Myriad Miles of Mountains and Rivers Map.

This is a real landscape, soaring through the sky, majestic and grand, with towering peaks, flowing springs and waterfalls, full of power, yet incredibly vivid.

It was very powerful, but you just couldn't catch up. Li Yao was too fast; even divine magic couldn't get close.

The four were extremely anxious, unable to imagine the extent of the harm that would ensue if Li Yao escaped.

They hurriedly chased after Li Yao in the direction he had left, but after traveling thousands of miles, they could no longer catch a glimpse of him.

"Damn it, after this battle, the other side will definitely leave the territory of Qianyang Kingdom. Letting such a monstrous talent leave will surely lead to disaster in the future." The man in purple looked grim, anticipating the seriousness of the situation.

The other three all looked solemn. They had thought he was just a nobody, but they never expected that he was actually a real dragon about to take off.

If they had known this would happen, they would have preferred to suffer in silence rather than try to ambush and kill the other side.

“Now that the feud has been formed, it’s almost impossible to resolve. Rather than that, we must find him as soon as possible and kill him. Only then can we put people’s minds at ease,” said the old man in hemp robes.

"I will continue the pursuit. You go back and report to the authorities, and request more experts to be dispatched. We cannot allow that person to leave the territory of Qianyang Kingdom." Finally, the most powerful among them, the old man in black robes, spoke.

“I’ll go too. One person is enough to deliver the message,” said the middle-aged man in purple.

"Then I'll go back and deliver the message," said the old man in hemp clothing.

The four divided their tasks: the old man in black would continue to lead the other two in pursuit, while the old man in hemp clothing would be responsible for returning to deliver the message.

The mountain range immediately returned to calm, but shortly after the four left, Li Yao's figure appeared on a mountain peak.

After leaving the four people's sight, he did not flee far away, but instead used the Six Seals of the Forbidden Immortal to conceal his aura and hid in the heart of a mountain.

Li Yao looked with a cold smile in the direction where the middle-aged man in hemp clothing had disappeared. He was sure he could defeat the Supreme Elder of the Second Heaven.

However, he did not chase after him immediately. Instead, he returned to the battlefield, went underground, and took all the dragon marrow from the dragon's lair before heading in the direction where the middle-aged man in hemp clothing had disappeared.

The world was shrouded in darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. Li Yao moved like a ghost, his speed reaching an extreme.

Although the old man in hemp clothing had to leave some time earlier, Li Yao caught up with him in less than half an hour.

When Li Yao suddenly appeared in front of the old man in hemp clothing, the old man could hardly believe his eyes.

"You...you never left, you followed behind me." The old man in hemp clothing said in disbelief.

“You’re all eager to find me, and I’m known for my kind heart, so naturally I won’t disappoint you,” Li Yao said with a light laugh, full of mockery.

The old man in hemp clothing said coldly, "So, you dare to appear in front of me now because you think you've got me cornered."

Li Yao spread his hands, his expression disdainful: "Is there any doubt about this? You don't really think you're that powerful, given that you've only cultivated to the first level of the Immortal Platform realm in nearly a thousand years?"

The old man in hemp clothing looked grim. To a cultivator, such words were no different from a woman telling him he was no good.

"Even the Eight Forbidden Domains are not invincible. Today, I will shatter this ancient myth!" The old man in hemp robes roared, and a large black hand slammed out, filling the void with pitch-black ink, interwoven with laws, and striking towards Li Yao.

So what if the opponent is an Eight Forbidden One? He believed that with his strength, he could not be defeated and could contend with them.

"Qiang!"

A resounding clang rang out, and a furnace interwoven with red and purple hues burst forth from between Li Yao's brows. It was incredibly beautiful and dreamlike, with the laws of heaven and earth interwoven on its body. It was just a hair's breadth away from forming the Dao and the Principle.

Since its creation, the Two-Colored Immortal Furnace has been nurtured and cultivated. It accompanied Li Yao through his tribulation and has already achieved considerable success, possessing the power to break through all laws with a single artifact.

The pitch-black hand disintegrated, and the two-colored immortal furnace flew out from it, rushing towards the old man in hemp robes with extreme speed.

"boom!"

It was too fast. The old man in hemp clothing could only meet the attack head-on. A light flashed between his brows, and a weapon shot out to block the way.

"Crack!"

An ancient shield shattered, pierced by the two-colored immortal furnace, and the old man in hemp robes seized the opportunity, shifting his body to the side to dodge the furnace's attack.

He moved his hands, unleashing immense magical power to suppress Li Yao. Lines of heaven and earth flowed, forming patterns that enveloped him.

"brush"

Li Yao retreated like a ghost, while simultaneously moving his hands to create a five-colored glazed divine furnace using the secret technique of the character "斗" (dou).

The divine furnace shone brightly, with towering holy flames overflowing from its opening, burning away the laws of heaven and earth.

"Zizzizi!"

Those patterns were melted and vanished without a trace when they came into contact with the divine fire.

The divine fire was incredibly terrifying; its scorching heat caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and several surrounding mountains melted away, turning into a pool of lava.

"What kind of sacred art is this!" The old man in hemp robes was shocked and quickly unleashed another weapon, the ancient war chariot.

"Boom!"

The ancient chariot rumbled and roared, its immense weight crushing the heavens. Even the divine fire was not spared, being directly crushed and dissipated.

Li Yao shook his hands violently, and the Five-Colored Glazed Divine Furnace instantly expanded to a size of a hundred feet. On the furnace wall, the great sun and the phoenix came to life, flew away from the furnace body, and charged forward.

"when!"

The ancient chariot trembled as the sun, high in the sky, crashed down with terrifying force, causing the chariot to shake as if it were about to fall apart.

Moreover, the phoenix cried out, and eighty-one heavenly flames swirled around it, unleashing unparalleled scorching heat as they blasted against the ancient war chariot.

"Crack!"

A chilling sound rang out, and a crack appeared on the ancient chariot, slowly spreading outwards.

"what!"

"How can this be?"

The old man in hemp clothing couldn't believe it. That was a weapon that had just begun to intertwine with the Dao and reason, a weapon of great power, and now it had actually shattered.

"Clang!" Another loud noise rang out as the setting sun crashed down on the ancient chariot.

"Crack!"

This time the sound was even louder, and a clear, large crack appeared. The chariot shook, and light radiated outwards, spreading across the lake like ripples.

"This is bad." The old man in hemp clothing changed his expression drastically, turned around to leave, and realized that he might really be defeated.

"Hey!"

But at that moment, the two-colored immortal furnace trembled, the void was imprisoned, and the old man in hemp robes looked up in shock, his heart filled with another start.

"Fairy gold!"

Previously, he hadn't paid much attention because the intertwined Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and Divine Mark Purple Gold were not as easy to distinguish as a single Immortal Gold.

But upon closer inspection, the old man in hemp clothing was astonished; this small furnace was actually cast from two kinds of immortal metals.

"Peng!"

Another loud bang, this time from the Five-Colored Glazed Divine Furnace crashing down and colliding with the ancient war chariot.

With a loud crash, the ancient chariot disintegrated, sending fragments flying everywhere and scattering in all directions.

It's horrifying that a weapon of such high power could be dismantled like this.

The old man in hemp clothing was shocked and spat out a mouthful of blood. Inside the ancient chariot, there was his divine sense. Now that the chariot was shattered, his divine sense was undoubtedly crushed into nothingness.

"Damn it, do you really want to fight to the death?" The old man in hemp clothing was getting angry.

A cornered beast will fight to the death, which is the most dangerous thing, because when there is no way out, the trapped person will completely give up on life and death and fight to the death.

"The fish will die, but the net won't break," Li Yao said coldly.

"Then let's try it." The old man in hemp clothing went mad, a terrifying aura spreading out, and his spine shot out a beam of light that pulverized everything around him.

That was a terrifying sword light that sliced ​​a mountain in half, causing rocks to crumble and clouds to scatter. The sword energy pierced the sky and then swept across all directions.

"Boom"

The sword light swept outward from the spine, which was very strange, but it was overwhelming, indestructible, and terrifying!
The entire world trembled, creating a suffocating atmosphere. A terrifying energy storm raged, its immense power awe-inspiring and terrifying.

"boom!"

Like a raging flood, the sword energy piercing through the clouds completely destroyed and flattened this mountainous area, leaving no trace and turning it into a desert.

"You forced me to use this forbidden technique, so you can forget about living." The old man in hemp robes smiled coldly, his killing intent soaring to the heavens. His invisible killing intent transformed into an unparalleled sharpness, directly targeting the source of the other's life.

“You’re really crazy to overdraw your life force, but so what? You’re still not good enough,” Li Yao said.

"boom!"

A divine light soared into the sky, and Li Yao transformed into a golden sun, radiating countless rays of light. Every gesture he made possessed immense power.

The dazzling holy light incinerated all matter, including the invisible killing intent, which was completely shattered.

"Hmph, you think that's all? Let me show you what an invincible forbidden technique is."

The old man in hemp clothing became increasingly domineering, his entire being exuding murderous intent, like a demonic blade of slaughter resurrected. The sheer power of his aura made one's flesh and blood convulse.

"boom!"

His body shone with dazzling light, radiating terrifying divine brilliance. Like a black sun, he leveled the place to the ground.

"Clanging"

The old man in hemp clothing cracked his spine as a holy sword appeared. He gripped the hilt with his right hand and slowly pulled it out.

"clank……"

The blinding divine light, the terrifying sword cry, the power to pierce through gold and shatter stone, almost shatter one's soul—this is an undying sword intent.

He used his spine as a sheath, from which a terrifying divine sword was born. With each inch it was drawn, it exuded an even more terrifying aura, causing the entire earth to crack open with huge fissures.

"boom!"

The sword was not fully drawn, but the killing intent had already swept across the heavens and earth, and the sword light was everywhere; perhaps it should be called a terrifying sword wave!
The old man in hemp clothing slowly drew his sword. The three-inch blade that was exposed rippled outwards, sweeping in all directions. Anything that encountered a tangible object was destroyed!

This is a divine sword that he nurtured with his boundless essence. It's fine if he doesn't use it, but once he does, it consumes his own life force.

However, compared to death, overdrawing one's vitality may not be a bad choice.

"Die!" the old man in hemp clothing shouted, quickly drawing his sword with his right hand. His whole body shone brightly, and the sword's light ripped through the air.

"Qiang!"

The divine sword that had been growing in his spine was completely pulled out by him, and it shone brighter than ten suns combined.

Li Yao dared not be careless. He summoned back the Two-Colored Immortal Furnace and placed it above his head. He then held a finger-length sword and gave it a gentle shake. The sword immediately unfurled in the wind and instantly expanded to five feet in size.

The Great Luo Silver Essence Sword radiates a dazzling light, incomparably magnificent. It is a weapon forged from top-grade materials, and Li Yao often refines it. Now, it has been interwoven with the laws of heaven and earth, and its killing power is astonishing!
The old man in hemp clothing had red eyes. He had already been driven mad with jealousy by the Immortal Gold, and now his opponent had taken out a sword forged from the Great Luo Silver Essence.

Although the Great Luo Silver Essence is far inferior to Immortal Gold, it is still a casting material that he desires but cannot obtain.

"Kill you, and everything will be mine!" the old man in hemp robes roared, then swung his divine sword, splitting the void in two!
The blazing sword light became the only thing in the world, burying everything else. In that moment, the sword light became eternal.

The astonishing sword light split the void in two and cleaved the earth into an unparalleled rift valley, stretching as far as the eye could see!

"Hey!"

Li Yao also wielded his greatsword, unleashing his battle prowess and raising his cultivation to its limit. A blazing sun appeared behind him, its golden light shining in all directions. He surged forth with ocean-like energy, like a god or demon.

"Dangdangdang..."

The two divine swords clashed repeatedly, their terrifying killing intent shaking the world. Dozens of surrounding mountain peaks were completely reduced to dust, and nothing remained.

In that brief moment, the two exchanged hundreds of blows in a fierce exchange, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake—trees, mountains, rivers, and everything else.

"boom!"

After more than 150 moves, Li Yao fought with his sword in his right hand, while his left hand conjured a celestial stele. The stele was covered in shimmering patterns and filled with the aura of the Dao. It was incredibly powerful and slammed down, striking the old man in hemp clothing hard on the head.

"Hey!"

The old man in hemp clothing blocked with his divine sword, and the sword energy with unparalleled sharpness shattered the Heavenly Stele. This divine sword, nurtured with his life essence, was extremely terrifying.

"Pfft!"

But in that very moment of his parry, a silver longsword swept upwards, sending one of the sword-wielding arms flying, blood splattering everywhere.

The old man in hemp clothing paled and, disregarding the pain, staggered backward. However, a blazing holy light still struck his chest.

"puff!"

A wound the size of a bowl appeared on the old man's chest, clear from front to back, as if it had been punched right through him.

The successive heavy blows weakened the old man in hemp clothing. Although his severed arm was wriggling and a new arm was growing, he was almost cleaved in two in that brief moment.

The Great Luo Silver Essence Sword slashed past, nearly cutting him in two.

In a life-or-death crisis, the old man in hemp clothing gritted his teeth, and his entire body burst into flames, consuming his primordial power as he fled into the distance.

However, he was far inferior in speed, and leaving his back to Li Yao sealed his fate and led to his tragic end.

"Pfft!"

A gleaming silver longsword pierced through his body, its tip going through his chest. Then, Li Yao's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and a golden fist came crashing down on his head.

The old man in hemp clothing's pupils constricted sharply as he desperately tried to lift his body to avoid being hit on the head.

With a "poof," his chest was pierced through, and then a powerful divine force shook him violently, almost tearing him to pieces.

Actually, it wasn't far off. The old man in hemp clothing was now covered in cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to break, and his vital energy was leaking out.

After exchanging several more blows, the old man in hemp clothing, despite his best efforts to resist, was still blown apart, his bones shattered, and he became a pile of minced meat, never to be seen again.
