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

Chapter 133 The whole world was shocked
Clearly, this is a prisoner, extremely powerful and terrifying. There is no sign of life; he has almost become a wooden stake, yet he is still awe-inspiring.

“Ancient demon, Dongfang Taiyi!” Li Yao was overjoyed. Almost instantly, he was certain that this was the person he was looking for, because he was so easily recognizable.

The beast-hide coat, the primitive feel, the large bone club, and the numerous seals—all these characteristics make the only suitable candidate in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, besides the human-demon Dongfang Taiyi, the only one who fits this description.

The old man inside the Divine Source Block was incredibly primitive, with bronze-colored, dry skin. The animal hide below his waist was mottled with patterns, but upon closer inspection, it was astonishing—it was definitely the hide of a Saint-level savage beast, and a very powerful one at that!

The white bone club in his hand was warm and lustrous, as white as jade, clearly not an ordinary item, and its terrifying power when struck with full force was immeasurable.

Li Yao pointed his finger, and a beam of divine light shot out, piercing through the stone wall and revealing the divine source block inside. He then directly used the Two-Colored Immortal Furnace to collect it.

He didn't plan to release the human demon directly because he wasn't sure of the other party's current state. If it was a god, that would be fine, but if it was a demon, he would be the first to die. Anyway, he already had the person, so he could take his time with the rest and not rush things.

In ancient times, the human race possessed two supreme divine techniques. Once mastered, they were earth-shattering and could allow one to roam the world freely.

Dongfang Taiyi initially cultivated the Sun True Technique, reaching its ultimate level. Later, he cultivated the Moon True Technique, intending to combine the two divine techniques into one.

However, this caused a major problem. The Yin Holy Power and the Yang Holy Power clashed and were completely incompatible, leading to a great disaster.

He was a god by day and a demon by night. He was mentally unstable and bloodthirsty, slaughtering many powerful human beings and even killing many outstanding figures from other races.

It can be said that this great sage of the human race in the ancient times committed a heinous crime, and many races joined forces to fight against him.

In the end, the Human Demon and the Myriad Dragon Nest faced off, and there was almost no suspense. It was the ancient era, when the Myriad Dragon Nest was at its peak, with powerful figures everywhere. Even Dongfang Taiyi, who cultivated both Taiyin and Taiyang, was still defeated by the Myriad Dragon Nest.

In fact, if Wanlongchao hadn't wanted to obtain the Taiyin True Scripture and the Taiyang True Scripture, Dongfang Taiyi might have perished long ago.

After all, they were sealed away, so killing them wouldn't be difficult. The Ancient Emperor's Weapon, the Myriad Dragon Bell, could easily kill a Great Sage.

After putting away the Divine Source Block, Li Yao left the depths of the Myriad Dragon Nest and headed outside.

As he gradually withdrew, he heard shouts of battle again; the battle had already reached a fever pitch, incredibly intense and brutal.

“Nangong Zheng…” Li Yao’s heart stirred. He had met this supreme expert in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. He was covered in blood, but it was not his own.

Nangong Zheng possesses profound skills, capable of contending with top-tier holy masters such as the Yao Guang Holy Master and the Ji Family Holy Master. In the present world, he can roam freely, with few who can rival him.

Instead of breaking out, he searched within the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, clearly confident and eager to obtain the celestial treasures.

After all, someone who dares to venture into the Bronze Immortal Palace is undoubtedly courageous and fearless of danger.

"brush"

Nangong Zheng vanished in a flash, rushing into the depths of the Myriad Dragon Nest and disappearing without a trace.

“Nangong Zheng, the Holy Master of the Ji family… there are definitely more than just these two. There are probably others who rushed in. It’s fortunate that I got there first.”

These unparalleled giants are incredibly powerful, daring to venture even into perilous places. After their search, they are sure to gain much.

Soon, he arrived at the first ancient coffin. The immortal herb was a foot tall, rooted in the pile of divine source next to the ancient coffin. Its entire body was cast in gold, and the whole plant was dazzling.

It has nine leaves that float like golden clouds, ethereal and captivating.

The figure of the Holy Lord of the Ji family was also gone, clearly indicating that he was completely helpless against the peerless killing intent. However, he certainly did not retreat, but instead, like Nangong Zheng, he went deep into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

At the top of the ancient divine medicine is a small dragon about the length of a palm, lifelike, dazzling, and fragrant. In particular, the dragon pearl held in its mouth shines brightly, crystal clear and dazzling, almost intoxicating and incredibly tempting.

Li Yao felt a little disappointed. Even though he knew it was impossible to obtain, he couldn't help but feel regret. Such a rare and precious plant would be tempting even to the Great Emperor, let alone him.

The elixir of immortality swayed, emitting countless rays of light, making the place blazing brightly, and the intoxicating fragrance even stronger. The little dragon hanging on it actually opened its eyes and looked at Li Yao in the void.

Clearly, it still remembered the person who had stirred its heart. The elixir of immortality rose from the ground, stretching its roots above the pile of divine sources. The entire plant shone with divine brilliance, flowing like water. However, in the end, it did not go toward Li Yao.

Li Yao suppressed the temptation in his heart, turned around and left Wanlong Nest, not intending to stay here for long. He had already achieved both of his goals on this trip and gained a lot.

He used the "Travel" technique in the void to quickly arrive at the battlefield ahead. At this moment, blood stained the cave walls, and flesh and bone fragments were everywhere.

The Holy Lord of Yao Guang, Li Daoqing, was in a sorry state, his body soaked in blood. Opposite him was the ancient creature with golden scales. They were still fighting a life-or-death battle, both sides were fighting with all their might and both were injured. However, relatively speaking, Li Daoqing was at a disadvantage.

"Roar……"

With a deafening roar, an ancient creature, almost humanoid in form, wielded a terrifying aura and fought fiercely in the ancient cave, forcing all the powerful figures to stain their robes with blood.

Some senior elders have fallen from time to time, making this place a scene of carnage, a truly horrific sight.

Of course, many ancient beings also died, since those who appeared here were all powerful figures, none of them were mere show-offs, and all possessed extraordinary abilities.

Of the eight Supreme Elders who came with the Yao Guang Holy Land on this trip, three still perished, even though they valued their lives highly. This was unavoidable because the battle was simply too fierce.

Li Yao revealed his true form and joined the battle. He stepped on the Xingzi Secret Technique, his figure constantly disappearing as he approached the five Supreme Elders of Yaoguang.

At this moment, the five Supreme Elders were joining forces to fight against an ancient creature. The creature was very powerful, almost humanoid, and its strength was at the half-step Great Power level. Even with the five of them working together, they were having a very hard time fighting it.

Amidst a burst of golden light, Li Yao suddenly appeared beside the ancient creature and slammed a punch down on its head.

This is a creature covered in golden scales. The one that fought Li Daoqing should be of the same kind. It has already begun to take on a human form, but its head is still that of a crocodile, making it extremely ferocious.

The golden ancient creature was extraordinary; in the nick of time, it also unleashed a punch.

"Oh!"

The two golden fists collided fiercely. Judging from their appearance, the two fists were not even in the same league. The ancient creature's fist was as large as a fan and covered with hard scales, while Li Yao's fist was only the size of a normal person and seemed very fragile compared to the ancient creature's fist.

Looking at these two fists, the first impression is definitely that Li Yao's fist will explode, and he might even be smashed into a pulp.

But in reality, it was the ancient creature's fist that was shattered into pieces and smashed to pieces.

He let out a painful howl as his severed hand regenerated, transforming into a golden light that shot out, leaving behind a trail of golden blood as he tried to escape.

However, when it comes to speed, among all the top experts in the BeiDou system, who can rival Li Yao?

"Roar……"

A scream rang out as half of the ancient creature's body was blasted off, golden blood splattered, and the severed body flew out horizontally, its primordial spirit turning directly into ashes.

“Oulengyedou…” The ancient creature, which was fighting Li Daoqing, stared at Li Yao with bloodshot eyes.

This is an ancient language, which people cannot understand, but through divine thought, they can understand its meaning. It probably means that the golden ancient creature is his nephew!
Following his younger brother, his nephew also perished at Li Yao's hands.

"Holy Son, you're alright!" The elders of Yaoguang were very excited. Since the start of the battle, Li Yao had disappeared from the battlefield, and they all thought something had happened to him.

"Stay close, I'll lead you out of here," Li Yao said solemnly, preparing to send these elders out first.

The five Supreme Elders nodded excitedly, having no doubt that their Holy Son could do it. They had all witnessed the terrifying power of their opponent, who was absolutely comparable to a powerful expert.

Li Yao pushed his combat power to the limit. He had always resided in the Eight Forbidden Domain, and now, with his full power unleashed, his combat power reached the pinnacle of the Eight Forbidden Domain, making him look like a sun god, terrifying to the extreme.

His black hair was loose, and he was tall and imposing. Every punch and every move he made was powerful and expansive. Although he did not have any divine light that soared to the sky, he was like a god. He exuded an aura of self-importance and dominance, which shook the heavens and the earth.

That fighting spirit was terrifying; he was practically the embodiment of a fighting saint.

This is the evolution of the Dou Zi Secret Technique. Every inch of flesh and blood in the entire body is the most powerful weapon. Every punch and kick is imbued with unparalleled divine power.

"puff!"

An ancient creature at the initial stage of the Great Power realm charged out, attempting to stop Li Yao and his group, but after exchanging dozens of blows, it was blasted apart by Li Yao's fist force. The several Supreme Elders following closely behind Li Yao were not dumbfounded at this moment, but rather wore expressions of habit, clearly already accustomed to their Holy Son's heaven-defying combat power.

But breaking through was difficult. These ancient creatures were incredibly vengeful and would not allow outsiders to leave unscathed after entering the dragon's nest.

"Roar..." An ancient creature covered in purple scales charged out, its strength far surpassing that of the previous creature. Even Li Yao found it incredibly difficult to fight it.

"Hey!"

A divine light, as sharp as sword energy, shot from the eyes of the ancient creature with purple scales, aiming to tear Li Yao's body apart.

"boom!"

A dazzling holy light rose up as Li Yao activated the Primordial Holy Light Technique, his body radiating divine light like a blazing flame, impervious to all magic.

At the same time, he threw a punch, which made a sound like shattering glass. The purple divine light turned into a sky full of crystals and was directly scattered.

"buzz"

With a soft sound, the void cracked open, and the blood-red spear exuded a chilling killing intent, like the frost of winter descending, sending shivers down one's spine.

A flash of light appeared between Li Yao's brows, as bright as a divine altar, and a two-colored immortal furnace shot out, emitting a magnificent purplish-red immortal light, colliding with the blood-red spear.

A strange sound rang out in the air as two weapons intertwined with laws collided, annihilating a large area of ​​space and turning it into a desolate wasteland.

This ancient creature was a powerful being standing on the second small step of the second level of the Sendai Heaven. Its strength was incomparably great, and it was only one realm away from surpassing the Eight Forbidden Domains.

Moreover, the opponent's combat strength was already considerable. Even if Li Yao raised his combat strength to the limit, it was still difficult for him to defeat the opponent in a short time.

At this moment, Li Yao could not be held back by the other party. There were too many powerful people in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. If he lingered, things would change. It was not advisable to stay any longer.

"Eternal exile!"

Suddenly, he unleashed this killing move, forcibly opening a dimensional gate that enveloped the purple ancient creature, then with a thunderous boom, it was drawn inside and completely closed.

The changes are happening so fast that people can't keep up at all.

This secret technique emphasizes secrecy and suddenness, making it the perfect choice for cunning attacks. An enemy that Li Yao found somewhat troublesome and unable to defeat in a short time was thus eliminated. As for whether that ancient creature can escape the void, that depends on its fate.

Although the Eight Forbidden Realms theoretically limit one to fighting across eight realms, this is not actually absolute.

Just like Li Yao, he possesses far too many techniques: the Fighting Secret, the Movement Secret, the All Secret, the Soldier Secret, the Forward Secret, the Holy Light Technique, the Cross Star Domain Crossing, the Eternal Exile, the Chaotic Ancient Holy Technique, the Primordial Holy Light Technique, and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique Scattered Hand.

All of these methods are among the most supreme and divine arts in the world. If an ordinary person possesses even one of them, they can roam the world freely.

These sacred arts encompass all the means in this world. With so many sacred arts at his disposal, Li Yao can use them flexibly in battle, making his combat power unpredictable.

So what if you're beyond eight realms? As long as you're not too far beyond, you can still end the battle by launching a surprise attack and unleashing an eternal banishment upon the enemy.

After dealing with the purple ancient creature, there were no more obstacles in their path, and Li Yao led the five Supreme Elders out of the encirclement.

Behind them, some of the Supreme Elders were lucky enough to be not far from Li Yao, and thus they also joined the fight.

Following the path they had come from, the group rushed out of the underground palace and returned to the back mountain of the Ice and Snow Palace.

Heavy snow was falling, turning everything white. A dozen figures stood on the ground, covered in blood, making them very conspicuous in the snow.

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a catastrophe. This trip to the Dragon Nest was truly too dangerous, and countless elders had perished.

"I wonder how the Holy Lord is doing?" Elder Yaoguang asked with some concern.

While they were breaking through, Li Daoqing was still fighting a fierce battle with the humanoid ancient creature and was at a disadvantage. The situation was quite dangerous.

If Li Daoqing, as the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, were to perish, it would be a great blow to the Holy Land. Just like the Wan Chu Holy Land, whose Holy Lord has now fallen, the Wan Chu Holy Land will be in chaos for a period of time.

"Don't worry, with the Holy Lord's abilities, it won't be difficult for him to break out," Li Yao said softly.

As the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, Li Daoqing has ruled over the colossal Yao Guang Holy Land for nearly two thousand years. He possesses countless treasures, far surpassing those of the Holy Lord of Wan Chu.

That golden ancient creature was at best a peripheral figure in the Myriad Dragon Nest. Although it was slightly stronger in terms of strength, the two were not on the same level in terms of trump cards.

"What a terrible disaster!" a senior elder sighed.

It's easy to imagine that this calamity will shock the world, because too many powerful figures have perished. Even those at the level of Grand Elders are nothing compared to the fact that more than a dozen powerful rulers or leaders of major sects have fallen in this disaster.

This is a major calamity that has not occurred in the past thousand years. The number of people who have perished is enough to form a great religion.

Soon, commotion came from the underground palace again. A group of people rushed out of the underground palace and came outside. Leading them was the Holy Master of the Jiang family. Behind him was another group of people, including members of the Jiang family and members of other forces.

Before long, the supreme holy masters, including the Holy Lord of the Ji Family, the Queen Mother of the West, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, the Emperor of Shenzhou, and the Emperor of Guhua, appeared together.

Following them were the powerful demon kings Peacock King and Azure Dragon King, as well as several members of the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region, and Nangong Zheng and others.

These people all possessed unparalleled cultivation, and even in a perilous place like the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, they did not perish.

However, they were not much better off; they all suffered severe injuries, and even as powerful beings, they could not recover in a short time.

"There's no one left inside. We were almost the last group to come out. The rest of us either perished, got lost in the Dragon Nest, or were entangled by ancient creatures and haven't come out yet."

This was the news spoken by the last group of people who came out. It was a very heavy message, because less than 30% of those who left Wanlong Nest actually went in.

Some of these forces were essentially wiped out.

This is actually quite good. Although the losses were heavy, it is fortunate that the powerful beings in the Dragon Nest did not emerge.

It's hard to imagine the calamity that would ensue if those ancient kings sealed within the Dragon Nest were to emerge.

All the holy lands, noble families, and great dynasties and sects have left the Ice Plains, no longer daring to covet the Dragon Nest.

Half a day later, news of the earth-shattering disaster at Wanlong Nest spread, shocking the world and causing the entire Eastern Wilderness to tremble!

The news that the Supreme Saint Lord of the Beginning of Ten Thousand Years had perished, his body and soul destroyed, leaving nothing behind, caused a great uproar.

The vice-leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, the supreme sect of Zhongzhou, a peerless master, vanished into thin air.

The younger brother of the head of the Northern Plains Golden Family, a powerful figure with a promising future, also remained silent in the Myriad Dragon Nest, never emerging.

The Holy Lord of the Eastern Wilderness Purple Mansion was nearly crippled, with only his head being brought out; his body was smashed into a pulp by ancient creatures.

In addition, six powerful leaders from the Five Elements Palace, the Carefree Sect, the True Demon Hall, and the Misty Peak have perished!
A number of Supreme Elders died, and many major sects were impacted, with blood staining the Myriad Dragon Nest!

It was a bombshell, shocking the world. Everyone was speechless and deeply shaken.

The world was in uproar; it was an absolute shock!
The world was shocked; no one could remain calm. It had been so many years since such a catastrophe had occurred, with so many powerful rulers dying all at once.

"Do you know the details of what happened?"

"Why have so many powerful figures perished? What kind of being resides in the Dragon Nest that has caused such heavy losses to all the holy lands and aristocratic families!"

This earth-shattering news shocked the world. Before people could truly understand the inside story, they were all inquiring about it.
