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

Chapter 128 The Human World (Revised) (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
As the sun rose and its golden rays fell upon the ancient city, Li Yao, who was strolling through the city, suddenly stopped. His powerful divine sense detected that someone was spying on him.

"What a mysterious method of concealment! It actually found me." Almost instantly, Li Yao guessed the identity of the person in the shadows.

"They just had to pick a fight when I was in the best mood; they're really asking for trouble."

Li Yao's figure vanished without a sound, disappearing from the spot in an instant, and then reappeared in the mountains where flowers were blooming in profusion.

"boom!"

He reached one hand into the void and forced out a dark shadow, which was a middle-aged man with a cold expression, but at this moment he showed a look of surprise.

"A mere beginner-level Great Power, and the mortal world sends a lackey like you to assassinate me?" Li Yao frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

This assassin hasn't been at the Great Power level for very long; it's estimated that he broke through in the last few decades. Currently, he only has the cultivation level of the first level of the second immortal realm.

The middle-aged man did not reply, but instead vanished into the void and escaped at an astonishing speed.

The assassin missed his target and fled a great distance. His location was now exposed, but he did not intend to fight. Instead, he chose to escape and wait for the next assassination attempt, even if the target was much weaker than him.

"Run? Where can you run to?" Li Yao sneered, activated the Xingzi Secret Technique, and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.

Thirty thousand miles away, the void suddenly collapsed, a giant hand crushed that void, and a middle-aged man fell out from it.

The middle-aged man in black's pupils flashed with murderous intent. His body vanished into the void once more, but this time it wasn't to escape; instead, he charged towards Li Yao.

A cold light flashed, and the murderous aura was bone-chilling!
A faint, ethereal figure suddenly appeared beside Li Yao, an iron sword flashing across the sky, aimed at Li Yao's chest; the escape technique was astonishingly fast.

"when!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Yao flicked his finger on the spine of the sword. With a loud "clang," a deafening sound erupted, shaking the mountains and shattering countless plants and trees.

Sparks flew as the middle-aged man in black was forced back, his iron sword vibrating violently, a tiny crack appearing on its surface.

After surviving the Sendai Tribulation, his fourth level of Star Radiance Battle Body was perfected, and he stepped into the fifth level. Now, his physique is comparable to that of a peak Great Power.

"brush"

Almost instantly, Li Yao's form blurred. His unparalleled skill in the art of writing characters allowed him to appear in front of the middle-aged man in black in the blink of an eye.

A fist radiating golden light pierced through heaven and earth, causing mountains to tremble and the void to collapse.

The middle-aged man's cold pupils remained unchanged. Seeing the fist aimed at his head, he quickly drew his sword to defend himself.

"when!"

The blood sword in the black-clad middle-aged man's hand, which was interwoven with laws, shattered instantly, and he himself was sent flying, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Although he is currently only in the Eighth Forbidden Realm, there is no doubt that he is at the pinnacle of this realm, and his combat power far surpasses that of ordinary powerful beings.

With a hiss, Li Yao quickly caught up with the middle-aged man in black, clenched his fist and smashed it down again. The void shattered layer by layer in front of the fist light, and even the surrounding mountains were broken apart.

"when!"

The ancient tower that the middle-aged man in black had summoned was smashed to pieces on the spot, and he coughed up blood again and fled for his life.

"boom!"

Li Yao was incredibly brave, with golden flames raging around him, his black hair flying wildly, and his eyes deep. He didn't use any weapons, but simply clenched his fists and smashed them.

He completely shattered this world, causing it to collapse continuously. He threw twelve punches in a row, turning this mountain range into a sinkhole.

Each time the golden fist fell, it was like an ancient divine mountain pressing down, causing the middle-aged man in black to cough up blood repeatedly.

All his magical treasures and weapons were shattered into dust, then his arms broke apart into a bloody mist, and later, his body began to crack.

By the time the thirteenth punch landed, the middle-aged man in black was crushed into a bloody pulp, his consciousness shattered, and he died instantly.

This mighty being was now in such a miserable state. His astonishing killing techniques were completely useless. In the face of absolute power, he couldn't even make a ripple.

Suddenly, a powerful killing intent erupted, and seven divine rainbows appeared out of thin air, pointing directly at the center point, all locking onto Li Yao, and the target was very clear: his brow.

A cold light illuminates the earth, and an unparalleled killing intent suddenly appears!
The seven masters unleashed a terrifying killing intent, causing all the trees in the mountains to crumble, countless leaves to fall, and all the beasts to tremble on the ground.

It was icy cold, like the arrival of winter. The north wind howled, and at this moment, the grass and trees withered, all things perished, and the mountains were desolate!
Flying fairy from heaven!

This is a deadly strike, its killing power astonishing, penetrating to the very marrow and reaching the very soul.

A cold smile appeared on Li Yao's lips. He showed no fear. His brow suddenly lit up, and a dazzling immortal light rose up, descending with countless laws and orders.

The secret of the previous character unfolded, distorting this space. The seven startled figures were suddenly shaken, their killing intent instantly dissipating. They paused for a moment, blood flowing from their seven orifices, their primordial spirits attacked.

In an instant, Li Yao moved with extreme speed, unleashing the Xingzi Secret Technique, piercing through one of the flying immortals, causing blood to splatter and gush forth.

At the same time, the "Soldier" secret technique was activated, and six killing swords flew up, stabbing towards their master's brow.

Of the six assassins, two reacted in time and knocked their weapons away, while the other four, caught off guard, were pierced directly by the killing sword.

Having missed their first attack, the remaining two tried to escape, but in an instant, one of them was approached by Li Yao.

"boom!"

The assassin unleashed a jade seal, sealing off the void in an attempt to slow Li Yao's movement. However, the jade seal changed its trajectory the moment it appeared, instead pressing down on him and freezing him in place.

"puff!"

Li Yao rushed over, raised his palm like a blade, and cleaved the man in two with tremendous force. Blood flashed and mist filled the air. The powerful man died, his body and soul annihilated.

"There's one more!" Li Yao opened his Heavenly Eye, piercing through layers of void, and locked onto the last person.

At this moment, the assassin was already a thousand miles away, but for Li Yao, this distance was nothing more than a thought away.

Three thousand miles away, the last assassin was caught up by Li Yao, who blasted him to death in mid-air with a single punch.

All the masters dispatched from the mortal realm were executed!

Including the middle-aged man in black from before, Li Yao has killed a total of eight assassins. This series of conflicts and battles can be described as a thunderous storm.

"A first-stage Great Power and seven half-step Great Powers—that's quite a large sum for the mortal world. But this loss will probably be painful for them."

Li Yao vanished, leaving the place. Less than a quarter of an hour later, several streaks of light arrived at the sinkhole. Seeing the devastation all around, they couldn't help but feel horrified.

"It's the Killing Sword. The mortal world has made its move again, and this time the target is Dong Yaoguang."

"My God, all the assassins in the world are dead, including one powerful one!"

The group was shocked. Looking at the mangled corpse of the assassin and the broken sword, they couldn't help but feel horrified.

Soon, news spread throughout the Northern Region that Dong Yaoguang had been assassinated by the Human World but had instead killed eight assassins, one of whom was a powerful expert.

"Dong Yaoguang has truly surpassed the older generation!"

"With that kind of lineup, they could probably take down even one powerful expert, but they were still suppressed and killed by Dong Yaoguang. It's truly astonishing!"

The Northern Region was shaken, and everyone was marveling at the power of Dong Yaoguang. This was no longer a minor skirmish, but an earthquake.

Although his battle with the Northern Emperor was amazing, it only proved that Dong Yaoguang was invincible among the younger generation. Now, he has broken through to the Sendai level and can kill powerful experts without using a sacred weapon. Such combat power has surpassed many older figures.

After a period of peaceful days, Li Yao continued on his path of cultivation.

On a mountain peak near the Ice and Snow Palace, Li Yao temporarily carved out a cave and then entered the Creation Realm. This time, he wanted to comprehend the Western Emperor Scripture.

Although the decision has been made to follow the path of Yin and Yang to transform chaos, the profound mysteries of the Emperor's Scripture are still worth studying.

Each Imperial Scripture is an exposition of the Great Dao by a great emperor. Even without cultivation, simply studying and learning from it can bring great benefits to oneself.

When the ancient geniuses created their own laws in the Holy Realm, they all drew upon many ancient scriptures. Even the Great Emperors, when creating their own scriptures, often referenced the scriptures of their predecessors.

If one could thoroughly comprehend an ancient scripture, the benefits to oneself would be unimaginable.

In the realm of creation, a woman was comprehending the Dao, chanting the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao. It was incredibly profound, with every word a gem. Each utterance contained the supreme power of the Great Dao, making it easy for people to understand and comprehend its mysteries.

Li Yao sat cross-legged beside him, listening intently and trying to understand the profound meaning of the Dao.

His cultivation level was rapidly increasing, especially after breaking through to the Sendai realm. His understanding of the Great Dao reached a new level, and after entering the realm of creation, he found it easier to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

The gains made in a quarter of an hour in the field of creative methods today are no less than those made in half an hour before; the two are simply incomparable.

Time passed without him knowing how much. When Li Yao opened his eyes again, he saw a sense of disillusionment with the Great Dao in his eyes, and his heart was filled with endless profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

"Time has increased again. After breaking through the Sendai Domain, the time I stayed in the Creation Domain reached one hour!" Li Yao pondered for a moment and obtained information about the passage of time in the outside world.

He wasn't surprised by this, as the time one could spend in the Creation Realm naturally varied depending on their cultivation level.

Li Yao did not leave the seclusion, but instead began to comprehend the Dao in the cave, studying the Western Emperor Scripture, which brought him many insights into the Great Dao. He needed some time to digest them.

As he spent more time in the Creation Realm, he gained more and more insights into the Great Dao. Although it was only his first time comprehending the Western Emperor Scripture, his gains were no less than those he had gained from comprehending it seven or eight times in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Li Yao has fully digested what he has gained this time, but he did not leave seclusion. Instead, he entered the Creation Realm again to continue to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Western Emperor Scripture.

And so, in the time that followed, he continued to cultivate, comprehend the Great Dao, and enter the realm of creating laws.

His cultivation progressed at an alarming rate. After breaking through to the Immortal Platform realm, each breakthrough in a minor realm was no less significant than the previous major realm. However, he defied this common sense.

After entering the Creation Realm for the third time, Li Yao's cultivation level was already close to the fourth level of Immortal Realm.

Of course, the greater gain was not in cultivation level, but in one's own understanding of the Western Emperor Scripture.

Having entered the realm of creation three times in a row, he gained a very deep understanding of the Western Emperor Scripture.

Even now, the Yaochi Great Master who has mastered this ancient scripture could probably sit down and discuss its principles.

Others spend thousands of years cultivating and comprehending, but he only entered the realm of creation three times and gained such a harvest.

He gained a great deal, and his understanding of the laws of the Great Dao and his cultivation level increased dramatically as a result.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed. On this day, Li Yao emerged from seclusion. After three months of seclusion, the Myriad Dragon Nest at the foot of the back mountain of the Ice and Snow Palace was finally discovered. In the past two days, he sensed that many powerful individuals were heading towards the direction of the Ice and Snow Palace.

The Dragon Nest is a forbidden zone, and he certainly wouldn't dare to venture there alone. But now that the Holy Lands are leading the charge, he can still sneak in and take a look. If he can take this opportunity to comprehend the True Dragon Divine Medicine, even just a scale or claw could elevate the Heavenly Book and also grant him the True Dragon Treasure Technique.

……

Ice Palace is a major sect in the Northern Region, with a long history spanning over ten thousand years, and its strength is second only to the Holy Land.

Legend has it that their founder was not human, but a snow ape with extraordinary abilities, capable of rivaling the holy lands ten thousand years ago.

But no matter how great a legacy may be, it will eventually decay and perish; no matter how powerful a person may be, they will eventually pass away. Nothing lasts forever.

This region is at an extremely high altitude, exceeding 8,000 meters. Even in summer, it is covered in ice and snow, with howling winds, a situation that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

In the darkest and most turbulent years of the past, a great and earth-shattering battle took place here. What was once a sacred and pure land was utterly destroyed.

The peerless expert pierced through the sky and swept away the endless snow-capped mountains, turning this place into a boundless ice plain.

The Ice Palace was merely a later addition to the powerful forces that occupied the area. In much earlier times, the Ice Plains held an even more ancient and glorious legacy.

Li Yao arrived at this snowfield, which appeared to be a vast expanse of ice and snow. He continued forward, heading deeper into the snowfield, eager to see what the situation was like there. He moved quickly, and soon he reached the deepest part of the snowfield, where he saw a towering snow-capped mountain that seemed to reach the sky, a vast expanse of white.

Everything here is completely different from the plains outside. Or rather, this is the true appearance of this place. The snowfield in front is entirely man-made.

"Legend has it that 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, this place was not an ice field, but an endless snow mountain. The vast ice field was swept away by the god king of the Jiang family with an ultimate weapon, which eventually formed this place. Only this snow mountain was left, which is no more than a hundred miles in circumference, and became a ruin."

Li Yao turned around and looked at the endless snow-covered plain behind him. He couldn't help but be shocked. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end of it. One could imagine how big this northern plain was. It was probably more than 100,000 miles away.

All of this was achieved by a king wielding an imperial weapon.

He was well aware of the power of the Imperial Weapon, but he had never actually witnessed its power.

The oppression of heaven and earth has not yet dissipated, and no one is going to unleash an ultimate attack at the drop of a hat!
He has been cultivating for nearly seven years, but he has never seen a complete and flawless supreme imperial weapon, not even his own dragon-patterned black gold cauldron.

Of course, it wasn't that the Holy Land forbade it; it was simply that he had been traveling outside all along, which was why he had never had the chance to see his own Dragon Pattern Cauldron.

Given Li Yao's current status in the Holy Land, let alone seeing the Dragon Pattern Cauldron, many people wouldn't object if he wanted to take it for use.

"The Big Dipper Starfield is really unsafe. What if someone went mad and came at me with an imperial weapon..." Just thinking about it made Li Yao feel a little terrified.
