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

Chapter 124 All Spirits Transform into the Dao, Countless as the Sands of the Ganges

On the Heavenly Palace, a sea of ​​people gathered, all those qualified to come up, waiting for the battle stage to open and for the two true protagonists to appear.

"My son, Wang Teng, has the potential to become an emperor!" Wang Chengkun said with a faint smile to everyone he met. The holy lords around him also gave him face and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Boom!"

The sky trembled, the void shook, and in the north, a young man appeared, driving a golden ancient war chariot, majestic and imposing, with black hair flowing down his shoulders, like a celestial emperor on an inspection tour.

The golden ancient chariot rumbled forward, its surface marked with sword and blade piercings, like an ancient imperial chariot. It exuded an awe-inspiring power, with dragons and phoenixes rising around it, their cries echoing through the heavens, and its light soaring into the sky.

In this world, dragons roared and phoenixes sang. Wang Teng was enveloped in divine light, which surged and engulfed the entire area.

Wang Teng, who claimed to be the reincarnation of an ancient emperor, stood at the center of a golden ancient chariot, surrounded by the four divine spirits, as if the Purple Star was patrolling the heavens or the Heavenly Emperor was descending to earth.

"The Northern Emperor has arrived. His aura is so intimidating that just watching him makes one feel as if their body is about to explode."

"Is this the Northern Emperor Teng? His reputation is truly well-deserved; this man is terrifyingly powerful." A senior elder exclaimed, feeling a sense of impending death.

The Northern Emperor Teng truly possessed the ability to kill older generation figures; even a half-step great power would not dare to underestimate this young man.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The heavens and earth trembled, like the resounding tolling of a great bell. Footsteps echoed from the ends of the earth, merging with the pulse of the world and clearly resonating in people's hearts.

The rising sun blazed brightly, casting a golden glow across the sky and bathing the earth in its golden light.

At the ends of the earth, a tall and upright figure was walking step by step. He was dressed in green robes, handsome and unparalleled, with a majestic and heroic bearing, and he moved forward with determination.

The golden rays of the rising sun shone on the young man, making him appear like a deity.

The youth was surrounded by 108 divine beings, his entire body radiant. Behind his head, a great sun hung in the sky, making him resemble a sun god.

This world was bathed in golden light. The young man strolled in the golden light, like a god emerging from a supreme divine kingdom and descending to the mortal world.

Dong Yaoguang, we've arrived!

"They've arrived. The Northern Emperor and Dong Yaoguang have met."

"Two unparalleled geniuses, this is definitely the beginning and the end of the battle for supremacy between the Great Emperors. The winner between the two will find it difficult to have any rivals on the road ahead."

"Quickly, let's fight! I can't wait any longer."

Many people couldn't help but roar that this battle was truly extraordinary, and they could glean many insights from it.

Dong Yaoguang and Beidi, located to the east and north of Tianque respectively, stand between heaven and earth, becoming the absolute center of the entire holy city.

At this moment, even the most supreme sage could not steal a single ray of light from the two of them, and was reduced to a mere foil.

Lord Li Daoqing of Yaoguang stepped out, looking at the Yaochi Holy Land, the Ancient Jiang Family, the Ancient Ji Family...

"Let's begin. Open the Ancient Battle Platform." A stone token appeared in Li Daoqing's hand. It was ancient and unadorned, but the Dao patterns on it were extremely complex and impossible to see through.

"good!"

Those who emerged from the forces possessing the stone token were all top-tier Saint Lord level figures, each holding a stone token in their hands.

"boom!"

Nine stone tokens rose into the sky, radiating countless rays of light. In that instant, the entire celestial palace trembled, and endless Dao patterns appeared, occupying the entire sky.

The intricate Dao patterns converged, transforming into a beam of light that enveloped the nine stone tokens, which then flew towards the Ancient Battle Platform.

The void collapsed, and a surge of chaotic energy erupted, as if returning to the beginning of time, when the battle platform was opened.

"boom!"

An ancient aura permeated the air, and the battle platform came into full view of everyone, covering an area of ​​only a few miles in radius.

However, this is only from the outside. Inside the battle arena, it is as vast as Mount Sumeru contained within a mustard seed, forming its own world, boundless and expansive, with towering divine mountains and endless oceans, filled with a wild and untamed atmosphere.

That wasn't just a battlefield, but an entire world!
"Buzz!"

The stone trembled, and nine beams of light shot out from it, eventually evolving into nine enormous sky screens, vast and boundless, visible throughout the entire holy city.

"What a vast battlefield! It seems to stretch on forever. What kind of being prepared this ancient battlefield for?"

"The scene in that canopy is inside the Ancient Battle Platform, allowing people to witness the great battle within!"

"Great! I thought that if I didn't go to the Heavenly Palace, I would never have the chance to see this great battle. I never expected that the Ancient Battle Platform would have such divine power!"

The entire holy city was in an uproar, everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come. Just then, two figures moved, soaring into the sky and heading towards the desolate ancient battle platform.

In the desolate ancient battlefield, a wild and barren land, with thousands of sacred mountains, yet utterly desolate and devoid of any vegetation, two figures appeared in this world.

On one side, a golden ancient chariot roared and emitted a dazzling light. A tall and majestic figure stood on it, like a celestial emperor descending to earth. His black hair flew wildly, and dragons and phoenixes sang in harmony above his head, with holy light descending.

On the other side, a tall and elegant figure stood out, radiating brilliant light, like a god emerging from the sun.

Their glory illuminated this desolate and wild ancient battlefield.

"I extracted many valuable items from your Wang family, including a divine weapon soul that can repair supreme holy weapons. How about it? Do you want it?" Li Yao spoke, his voice resounding throughout the holy city.

"Defeat you, and all of that will be mine, including your Two-Colored Immortal Furnace and the 'Travel' Secret Manual." Wang Teng's cold voice came from the ancient war chariot.

Outside the canopy, everyone held their breath, awaiting the imminent battle.

"Stop talking nonsense, what's with all this shouting? Hurry up and fight!" In the holy city, a fat Taoist priest with a ruddy complexion shouted, immediately drawing angry stares from everyone, who felt that he was being too noisy.

At this moment, the entire holy city was silent, wanting to quietly watch this great duel, but this fat Taoist priest was making a lot of noise here.

"Damn it, Heavenly Venerable One! It seems I've angered everyone." The fat Taoist muttered under his breath, then immediately shut his mouth, afraid that these people would gang up on him.

In the Desolate Ancient Platform, Li Yao nodded and said, "If you win, all of these are yours. But if you lose, hand over the Secret of the Former Word and the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor."

"A word is settled!"

Here we go again. Everyone in the Holy City was speechless. Dong Yaoguang's hobby was collecting other people's scriptures. This time, he was even more outrageous, actually asking for the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor and the legendary Nine Secrets.

However, he also paid a heavy price. Not to mention the divine source, there were also the weapon deities, the two-colored immortal furnace, and the Xingzi Secret Manual, all of which were treasures.

"rumble……"

Suddenly, the golden chariot moved, crushing through the sky and crashing towards Li Yao. Wang Teng, holding the dragon seal, suppressed it down like a heavenly emperor subduing a demon.

"boom!"

The vigorous energy and terrifying fluctuations were like a star field falling from the sky, terrifying beyond measure.

"boom!"

Li Yao unleashed the Human King Seal, which overturned heaven and earth. The supreme ruler of the human race descended, looking down upon the world, and shook the powerful dragon seal. Wind and thunder roared, and the sound was endless.

The sky trembled violently, and beams of light shot out in all directions, terrifying beyond measure. Each beam was enough to kill a being at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage.

Finally, the golden chariot came to a stop, unable to move forward any further. The god-like figure on it remained motionless, its entire body radiating golden light.

Wang Teng remained calm and silent. The True Dragon, Divine Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise swirled around him, their light shining in countless rays, protecting the Central Heavenly Emperor.

A golden ancient chariot, engraved with the sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and all living beings, could suppress all realms. As it galloped in, its radiance engulfed heaven and earth. The Northern Emperor resided in the center, with a true dragon and a divine phoenix dancing above, their brilliance complementing each other.

Dong Yaoguang and Beidi made their move. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged a single blow, which no one could see clearly. Suddenly, an ancient sacrificial sound rang out, echoing throughout the myriad realms.

This was merely a probing move. Wang Teng's golden chariot was blocked, and his gaze became slightly serious. He knew that the person in front of him was truly powerful, but he was not afraid and still had an invincible belief.

"boom"

The endless void collapsed, completely disintegrating, creating countless black abysses that stretched towards the eternal unknown. There were sounds like mountains collapsing and tsunamis crashing, and stars twinkling – that was the boundless universe!

This was an attack launched by Wang Teng. He was like an ancient emperor, his eyes filled with endless illusions, his back against the eternal starry sky, a dazzling expanse. True dragons, divine phoenixes, white tigers, and black tortoises all appeared, each occupying the entire starry sky, realistically recreated, terrifying beyond compare, their endless divine light engulfing the area.

"boom!"

Li Yao held the Mountain Seal in his right hand and gently pushed it out. The terrifying explosion of the collision spread through the sky and throughout the Holy City, making a sound that resounded throughout the four seas. Many people screamed, their ears bleeding, and hurriedly activated their divine power to protect themselves.

This is the unique characteristic of the Ancient Battle Platform. It isolates the fluctuations that destroy everything, but it makes people feel as if they are actually there, and can feel that terrifying destructive power.

Everyone present changed color, especially the half-step great powerhouses in Tianque. They held prominent positions and possessed immense power and combat strength, yet they felt a tremendous pressure in their hearts at this moment.

These two young people are only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, yet their combat strength is almost approaching theirs.

"This is definitely the power of an eighth-level forbidden warrior. He's only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, yet he's already stepped into this realm. This is the ancient emperor in his youth!" Everyone realized this.

In the Heavenly Palace, even the holy sons were pale-faced. It was truly a tragedy to be born in the same era as such a person. No matter how dazzling you are, you are just a green leaf.

"Keng!"

Suddenly, Wang Teng slowly drew a golden holy sword from his back. With each inch it appeared, tens of thousands of rays of holy light burst forth, dazzling the eye.

At the same time, a vast, boundless power surged in all directions, causing even the most powerful figures to change color and involuntarily retreat, sensing an unparalleled and overwhelming fighting spirit.

This is a terrifying idea of ​​"who else but me?" and "I am the only one who matters," as if one wants to control the entire world and have everything in one's hands.

"The divine artifact that helped my cousin survive the heavenly tribulation—the Heavenly Emperor Sword!" The Wang family members shouted excitedly.

An extremely cold aura permeated the air. With each inch the Crimson Gold Heavenly Emperor Sword rose higher, it unleashed tens of thousands of divine powers, causing the distant mountains to shatter.

Finally, with a loud clang, it appeared in Wang Teng's hand. He stood on the ancient chariot and slashed forward with all his might.

"boom!"

Li Yao's figure vanished, dodging the holy sword's slash. Then, he struck the sword's spine with his palm, causing various lights to shimmer. The earth was cleaved, mountains collapsed, and the heavens crumbled...

This place has become a land of destruction, nothing can be seen anymore, only radiance and ruined void remain, it is quickly turning into a chaotic land.

This strike was earth-shattering; the two were almost submerged by a sea of ​​divine power, and the savage world nearly boiled over!

A distant mountain collapsed, pierced through, and Wang Teng and the golden ancient chariot were smashed and fell, sending dust billowing into the sky.

"Teng'er!" Wang Chengkun shouted, sensing something was wrong. He had built this huge stage for his son to make a name for himself, not to make Dong Yaoguang invincible.

boom!
Fortunately, the golden ancient chariot burst out of the dust, rumbled across the sky, and continued its charge towards Li Yao.

This ancient chariot is extraordinary. It blocked a great deal of force for Wang Teng just now. Otherwise, he would at least have his tiger's mouth split open and his arm broken by now.

Two divine lights shone from Wang Teng's eyes; his Martial Heavenly Eye opened, capable of shattering illusions.

Li Yao's ghostly speed just now startled him; he couldn't see him at all, and caught off guard, he almost suffered a great loss.

At this moment, Wang Teng opened his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, intending to counter Li Yao's speed.

"Clang!"

The Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword struck again, its icy blade seemingly capable of obliterating everything tangible. Li Yao's figure vanished once more, disappearing from the spot.

"You want to try again? Do you think you can use the same method twice?" Wang Teng shouted, changing the direction of his holy sword and turning the blade to slash at the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye.

"when!"

But the next moment, the golden ancient chariot flew out again, smashing through several mountains.

"So what if you see it? Do you think it's useful? In the face of absolute power, what use is the so-called 'seeing through illusions'? I'll lay out my attack route in front of you. What can you do? Can you stop it?" Li Yao stood in the sky, calmly watching the golden chariot approach again.

The entire holy city fell silent. Everyone was stunned. No one could have imagined this outcome. After several clashes, it was clear that the Northern Emperor was at a disadvantage.

Such a figure, someone who could make all the geniuses breathless, was no match for Dong Yaoguang.
“My son Wang Teng has the potential to become an emperor. This is just a test. He has not yet unleashed his great divine power.” Wang Chengkun remained defiant, but only he knew what he truly felt inside.

If it weren't for the fact that it was in front of a large audience, and if it weren't for the gathering of powerful figures from the five major domains, he would have stopped the battle. His Teng'er had never suffered such a great loss since his debut.

"Zheng"

The sword rang out, shaking the heavens. Wang Teng, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, rode his golden ancient war chariot and charged once more. His long black hair stood on end, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

The golden holy sword, as thick as a mountain, reached up to the sky and pressed down like a mountain, its sound deafening, like a vast ocean surging, making people's hearts tremble.

He gave it his all, daring not to underestimate or test anyone further.

Li Yao used the Xingzi Secret Technique, reaching extreme speed, even faster than before, so fast that Wang Teng's Martial Arts Heavenly Eye couldn't even detect his figure.

"when!"

The golden ancient chariot trembled violently, and several true dragons guarding the area were smashed in half. Li Yao slammed his palm onto the ancient chariot, and the powerful force sent it flying again.

This time, however, he did not give up. He reached out again, pinched the spine of the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword with his five fingers, and exerted force to disarm the sword with his bare hands.

"Arrogant!" Wang Teng roared, wielding the holy sword in one hand and making a fist with the other, as he slammed it down towards Li Yao's head.

"Oh!"

Li Yao also threw a punch, which was filled with golden light, and the two fists collided fiercely.

With a deafening roar, a terrifying wave of destruction spread out, smashing dozens of towering mountains to their cores and causing them to collapse.

The Northern Emperor Teng has had many extraordinary encounters since childhood, and his body has been tempered with various precious divine materials. His physique is comparable to that of the Holy Lord, making others envious.

The first blow ended in a draw, but in the next instant, the two clashed again, their fists landing squarely.

"Bang!" "Bang!"...

In just a few breaths, the two had clashed at least hundreds of times. Each punch and strike was powerful and sweeping, without any soaring divine light, but its power was enough to kill a celestial being.

Every time the two clashed, the entire city was thrown into turmoil, and many people in the Holy City could not even stand up and staggered backward.

They were already affected by this fluctuation just by sensing it; if they were to actually be on the battlefield, they would probably be swept away into the heavens.

In the wild world, Wang Teng and Li Yao's arms transformed into true dragons, intertwined and locked in a fierce battle, each gripping the other's arm and unable to break free.

"chi"

Wang Teng's eyes blazed with divine light, shooting out two dazzling beams of light. His Martial Heavenly Eye appeared once more, slashing at Li Yao once more. It could not only see through the source, but was also the sharpest divine sword!

Li Yao remained calm. The golden figure between his brows held a black and gold sword with dragon patterns. A beam of sword light shot out, like the first ray of divine light after the creation of the world, cleaving through heaven and earth and all things!

To outsiders, it appeared as if a vertical eye had opened between Li Yao's brows, its divine light clashing with the radiance of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

With the situation at a stalemate, Li Yao knew he couldn't defeat Wang Teng physically, so he took the initiative to let go.

Although his physical body has been getting stronger, it is still the weakest compared to his magical power and cultivation. Wang Teng, on the other hand, was taken away by the crane from childhood and tempered with various kinds of true blood, so it is normal that they cannot determine the winner.

Wang Teng was shocked. He knew how powerful his physique was, having been tempered with the blood of the Undying Divine Phoenix and various powerful dragons. But now, it was only on par with Li Yao's physical body, which was unbelievable.

"All spirits transform into the Dao, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges!"

With a loud shout, all the forces in the world transformed into the rules of the Dao: the essence of plants and trees, the brilliance of the sun, the glimmer of stars, and the origin of the universe all poured down.

Finally, he used a powerful technique in warfare, a secret art from the Imperial Scripture, whose divine power was awe-inspiring and immeasurable.

All spiritual beings and powers in this world are transformed into the rules of the Dao, turning everything into traces of the Dao, becoming lines that traverse the void.

This is an extremely terrifying divine art, plunging people into a nightmare from which they are powerless to resist. In this world, there are countless spiritual beings; if they were all summoned to transform into the Dao, the number would be endless, hence the saying "as numerous as the sands of the Ganges."

Throughout the universe, there were dense nets everywhere, some silver, some purple... All spirits transformed into the Dao, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, forming a net of the Great Dao that descended upon us.
