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

Chapter 136 Divine Barrier
This fist technique is extremely powerful, domineering, and fierce, terrifying to the extreme. Once the Dragon Fist is unleashed, no one can stop it!

Li Yao clenched his fist and immediately felt an unparalleled power. It was only the first time he had comprehended it, but the power of the Dragon Fist, once unleashed, would annihilate even gods and Buddhas!

At the same time, his Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, due to the True Dragon Fist, became even more imbued with the divine essence of a true dragon. When the Great Dragon and the True Dragon Fist were activated simultaneously, Li Yao clearly felt that he had reached the absolute peak of his current realm and could not advance any further.

"A divine barrier?" Li Yao seemed to realize something. The barrier he sensed should be the barrier of the divine domain.

"Can we break in?"

Li Yao's figure vanished from the Holy Son's Palace, and when he reappeared, he was already a thousand miles away from the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"boom!"

With overwhelming power, a real dragon burst forth from the spine, its body covered in lifelike scales of gold and iron, circling around Li Yao.

At the same time, Li Yao clenched his fist, and endless runes appeared on his arm, each rune a dazzling dragon pattern.

The runes shone brightly, complementing the human-shaped dragon, making it seem as if a real dragon had appeared in the world from mythology!

Every inch of Li Yao's body was exuding dragon energy, which was extremely brilliant, and in the end, it formed a world of majestic dragon power.

"Crack!"

The entire world seemed unable to withstand such fluctuations; the void shattered, emitting a sharp, booming sound.

The dragon's roar echoed through the heavens, its deep and majestic sound causing all the wild beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles to prostrate themselves on the ground, groaning incessantly. Some were even so frightened by the dragon's might that they lost control of their bowels and bladders.

Even worse, some were so frightened to death by the sudden appearance of the dragon's might that birds in the sky fluttered to the ground.

Li Yao closed his eyes, pushed his combat power to the limit, and prepared to unleash his Dragon Fist, continuously accumulating power. Finally, with one punch, heaven and earth were destroyed.

boom!
Golden light surged forth, and billions of beams of light shot out. Accompanied by a tremendous dragon's roar, mountains collapsed, countless mountains were blasted into sinkholes, and rivers were dried up.

A moment later, the golden light dissipated, and the once beautiful scenery was now completely gone, leaving only devastation. A giant sinkhole appeared on the earth, with huge cracks spreading outwards, turning the place into a wasteland!
"brush!"

More than a dozen divine lights rushed over, and when they saw the scene, they were all shocked. Looking around, there was nothing left for hundreds of miles, which had become a desert without any life. It had all been destroyed by the domineering fist light.

At this moment, their Holy Son stood tall in the sky, his dragon aura rising from his body, a true dragon encircling his body, making him look like a heavenly emperor.

"I've recently made some progress in my cultivation, so I've come to give it a try. I apologize for disturbing you all." The figure in the sky, like a true dragon emperor, spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable air of majesty.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. We have disturbed your enjoyment. We will leave now." The group of elders quickly apologized and departed.

Today, although Li Yao is still only a Holy Son, his status is already extremely high. In the hearts of everyone in the Yao Guang Holy Land, he has even surpassed the Pulse Master. Even the Holy Lord himself can only be considered his equal.

Li Yao's performance in the battle of Wanlong Nest has shaken the entire Eastern Wilderness. Everyone knows that Dong Yaoguang, who is only at the first level of the Sendai realm, is already capable of defeating powerful ancient creatures.

"Almost there, the Eternal Divine Forbidden Zone, truly a divine domain!" Li Yao sighed inwardly.

He unleashed his Dragon Fist, which indeed greatly increased his combat power, even touching the barrier of the Divine Forbidden Domain. Unfortunately, he was still just one step away from crossing it.

In fact, his understanding of the Great Dao has already reached that level; what he lacks now is the most basic power.

The fastest people in the world to cross the Divine Forbidden Domain were only at the second level of the Immortal Platform. One of them was Ye Fan, and the other was Yin Tiande from the Ziwei Ancient Star. Both of them were unparalleled geniuses who shocked the past and present.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long," Li Yao sighed softly, feeling disappointed that he had not yet entered the realm of divine prohibitions.

If other young prodigies heard this, they would probably be incredibly envious and jealous.

Reaching the third step of the first level of Sendai Heaven and touching the barrier of the divine forbidden domain is an extremely rare occurrence throughout history. Looking across all the ancient celestial beings, emperors, and great emperors, it is almost impossible to find anyone who can touch the divine forbidden domain at this level.

"It's time to break through." Li Yao's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

It has been four months since Long Teng Yue Xiantai. During this time, he has entered the realm of creation several times, and his cultivation has long been sufficient to break through. Now, the insights into the Great Dao brought by the True Dragon Fist have made his foundation even more extraordinary, and he can break through at any time.

Rumble!
The sky was clear and blue, but suddenly thunderclouds appeared, and countless bolts of lightning shot down from the distant sky, turning the mountain ranges below into ashes.

Although it was a minor tribulation, it was still extraordinary. After entering the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, each minor tribulation was no less powerful than the previous major tribulation. Therefore, the tribulation was astonishing!

The golden figure, carrying the two-colored immortal furnace, burst out from between the eyebrows and plunged into the sea of ​​lightning, where it was engulfed by endless lightning.

It's only the early stage of the lightning tribulation, so its power isn't too terrifying yet. Li Yao is also using the power of the lightning tribulation to temper his divine sense and Dao weapon!

Ordinary people would certainly not dare to throw the golden figurine directly into the lightning, because the golden figurine represents the primordial spirit, and if it is lost, it is difficult to make up for it.

But Li Yao was different. He began his tribulation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Every breakthrough was accompanied by a heavenly tribulation. His cultivation path was constantly being struck by lightning.

His primordial spirit was tempered to an indestructible state with each tribulation of lightning, so that ordinary forces could not damage it at all.

"boom!"

As lightning continued to strike, its power gradually increased. Finally, at a certain critical point, clusters of palaces were born in the sea of ​​lightning.

This time, the palace in the sea of ​​thunder was even more realistic than the first time, and its aura had become even more terrifying.

Upon seeing this, Li Yao soared into the sky, and the golden figure carrying the two-colored immortal furnace flew back to his brow, his form and spirit returning to one.

"Thump!" "Thump!"...

Footsteps echoed through the palace, and soon two figures emerged from within, both humanoid, but formed from lightning.

Li Yao stared at the two humanoid lightning bolts and silently compared them with the previous humanoid lightning bolts, finding that they were indeed more realistic and their bodies were more condensed and powerful.

The two humanoid lightning bolts still couldn't make out their faces, but their weapons were incredibly distinctive. One was a dragon sword, exceptionally sharp, with a vast imperial dragon aura surging out from it. Although it was just a sword, at this moment, it resembled a real dragon, with the dragon's head as the tip, the dragon's body as the blade, and the dragon's tail as the hilt.

Li Yao had never seen this imperial weapon before, but the sword was so famous in the Big Dipper that even though he had never seen it, he still knew that it was the Taihuang Sword of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains!

The other weapon was equally striking, its green celestial light soaring into the sky, its tearful light filling the heavens, like a woman silently weeping. The tower had thirty-three layers, pressing down on the mortal world, possessing an extremely powerful suppressive force, like an ancient universe floating there.

This pagoda is none other than the divine pagoda enshrined in Yaochi—the Western Emperor Pagoda!

"boom!"

Two humanoid lightning bolts moved swiftly, riding the dragon sword and the pagoda as they charged forward, shaking the heavens and aiming to kill Li Yao below.

"Zheng!"

The dragon sword rang out, its sharpness unparalleled. Its imperial dragon aura was unmatched in attack, comparable to the Dou Zi Secret Technique, and this was no exaggeration.

"when!"

Li Yao unleashed the "Soldier's Secret Technique," using the Two-Colored Immortal Furnace to meet the attack, smashing it fiercely towards the Dragon Sword.

Sparks flew everywhere, the sea of ​​lightning collapsed, and countless fragments of lightning crashed down onto the earth, destroying countless mountains and sinking the land.

That dragon sword, though clearly formed from lightning, seemed real as it engaged in a fierce collision with the two-colored immortal furnace.

"Boom!" Just then, another humanoid lightning bolt arrived, with a pagoda on its head. It threw a punch at Li Yao's head, and the terrifying power caused Tianyu to collapse.

"Well done!" Li Yao thought to himself, and he also clenched his fist. Ten thousand golden rays suddenly appeared in his hand. He used the Holy Light Technique to enhance his fist, making his fist intent unparalleled and carrying terrifying divine power.

Boom!

When the two collide, it's like a tsunami crashing against the shore, like rocks collapsing from the clouds. Divine power and holy light are everywhere, sweeping everything away and destroying everything in their path.

They were like ancient gods, engaging in fierce combat, each punch carrying immense power.

Li Yao possessed astonishing cultivation; every punch and kick he threw contained boundless righteousness, empowering him and unleashing the divine power of the Great Dao.

The humanoid lightning bolt opposite him, with a pagoda on its head, was impervious to all magic and was also subtly in harmony with the Dao. Every move it made was aided by the Great Dao, making its power unmatched.

This is the most dangerous fight, because even a casual elbow strike can kill the opponent's head and destroy their spirit.

Blood splattered, mixed with shattered white bones. Li Yao had a large hole in his chest, open from front to back, and it had been pierced through. The humanoid lightning had half of its head blown off. Even the peerless pagoda could not completely protect it.

Such injuries would be considered severe for a cultivator at the first level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, as the wounds contained terrifying destructive power. However, both the humanoid lightning and Li Yao recovered instantly.

The former was born from a heavenly tribulation, and its power is inexhaustible as long as the tribulation power remains. Moreover, it is born from lightning, and this place has no shortage of lightning, so it can be replenished at any time and restored to its peak.

Li Yao possesses the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, the True Phoenix Nirvana, and is least afraid of being injured. As long as it is not a fatal blow, he can continuously recover until his source is exhausted.

Under these circumstances, the clash between the two was incredibly bloody, with each move potentially fatal. Anyone who witnessed it would likely feel a chill, just like a man seeing someone else's genitals severely injured. Even though it wasn't him, he would still feel a shiver run down his spine and his heart tremble.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged three hundred blows, neither gaining the upper hand. Both had wounds on their bodies, but they were rapidly healing.

"Zheng!"

Just then, another humanoid lightning bolt moved. He no longer wielded the Dragon Sword to contend with the Two-Colored Immortal Furnace, but instead personally wielded the Dragon Sword. Imperial dragon energy surged, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. He cleaved the Two-Colored Immortal Furnace away with a single sword strike, and then charged towards Li Yao.

The Imperial Dragon Aura is an absolutely invincible offensive divine power, comparable to the Dou Zi Secret Technique. The humanoid lightning bolt, wielding a dragon sword, unleashed the Imperial Dragon Aura, resembling an ancestral dragon charging forth.

Li Yao felt the pressure. The humanoid lightning tribulation was something that those who had undergone the tribulation had almost always managed to do by stalling for time until the tribulation ended.

But he did not do that. After recalling the two-colored immortal furnace and placing it above his head, he fiercely fought with the two humanoid lightning bolts, confronting them head-on, in order to hone himself and forge the strongest foundation of his Dao.

Such a choice is undoubtedly cruel. The strength of the humanoid lightning bolts is beyond doubt; each one is incredibly powerful. Now that two humanoid lightning bolts are attacking together, the pressure naturally increases significantly.

However, the more this happened, the more satisfied Li Yao became. Cultivating too quickly is sometimes not a good thing, for example, it means you are destined to have no rivals.

Li Yao doesn't take the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness seriously at all, because the gap between them is just too great.

This also meant that he had experienced very few major battles. At this moment, although the two humanoid lightning bolts were somewhat troublesome for him, they also gave him a great sense of satisfaction, a feeling of complete comfort.

Unbeknownst to them, more than half of the Heavenly Tribulation had passed. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation gradually rose from its initial state to its peak, then declined, and finally calmed down.

Li Yao was covered in blood, and there were fine cracks on his body, indicating that his flesh was cracking and fresh blood was seeping out from them.

Despite the fine lines on his body and the blood flowing from it, he still attacked fiercely, his domineering aura a martial will that pierced through heaven and earth.

The brutal battles taught him a great deal, honing not only his physical abilities but also his willpower. As the battles dragged on, he evolved in every way.

Finally, at this moment, Li Yao unleashed his full power. The dragon aura surged forth, and the dragon might, even more powerful than the imperial dragon aura, swept across the heavens and earth.

A series of dragon roars echoed, as if a real dragon had appeared in the world, and countless beams of light appeared. The overwhelming golden light swept forward, or rather, it could be called a hurricane, because it was so fierce and domineering, sweeping across the sky and the earth, like a raging storm passing by.

Two humanoid lightning bolts flew horizontally, as if crushed by an ancient universe, their bodies cracking and exploding in the sea of ​​lightning.

The True Dragon Fist possesses immense power; it is an invincible fist technique. Once unleashed, it will surely cause earth-shattering destruction, and even a human-shaped lightning bolt cannot stop it!
The tribulation had not yet begun, but the thunderclouds slowly dissipated. This was an extraordinary feat, something no one in history had ever accomplished. To defeat the humanoid lightning before the tribulation was even over, thus ending the tribulation prematurely.

This is the power of the True Dragon Fist. Even though it is just a free-form technique, it still ranks in the realm of immortals and has the power to turn the rotten into the miraculous.

When the various lightning strikes disappeared, Li Yao sat cross-legged high in the sky, his appearance solemn and dignified. Runes appeared one after another, covering his body and imprinting themselves on it.

Moreover, the little golden figure between its eyebrows was also marked with various runes, as if it were wearing a golden divine robe, sacred and inviolable.

After breaking through to the Sendai realm, every advancement is a tremendous step forward, because this secret realm is the most mysterious, containing endless divine treasures.

Currently, I am only at the first level of the Sendai realm, mainly cultivating the power of divine thought, so it is not obvious. However, when I reach the second level of the Sendai realm, I will fully open up the divine treasures of my body, and the Sendai realm will govern all directions.

Even at the first level of Sendai, each breakthrough still allows the other four secret realms to grow, though not very noticeably.

This is why a small realm in the Sendai Secret Realm is equivalent to a large realm in the previous one.

At this moment, Li Yao was clear and flawless, every inch of his body was as if cast from divine glass, like a deity of the world sitting cross-legged, radiant with light and color. The moment he opened his eyes, they were like two torches burning.

"This is the fifth step of Sendai First Heaven."

This time, he didn't just break through one minor realm, but broke through two minor realms at once, standing on the fifth step.

It's not surprising. In the past few months, he has entered the Creation Realm several times, staying there for an hour at a time, and his cultivation has soared at an astonishing speed. Especially the last time, he spent an hour comprehending the Dragon Fist, experiencing this immortal technique, which allowed his cultivation to leap forward even more, making his foundation incredibly solid, which is why he was able to break through two minor realms at once.

Just like when Long Teng Yue Xiantai, the reason he was able to break through to the third step of the first level of Xiantai in one go was entirely because he had laid an incredibly solid foundation in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Cultivation doesn't come out of thin air. Without this accumulation, he couldn't have crossed multiple minor realms twice in a row.

Li Yao sat cross-legged in the void, like an indestructible golden body, flowing with golden clouds and overflowing with colorful light. His whole body was as if cast from divine gold, without a single flaw, and his precious body shone brightly.

A powerful force lay dormant within him. Although he had only taken two small steps forward, his combat strength was far greater than before.

A half-step Great Power, a big shot in everyone's eyes, he can now kill a whole group with a single punch.

After eight years of cultivation, he finally became a powerful ruler at an age when he should have been a nobody.

Li Yao was not arrogant. He wouldn't tell everyone that he had only cultivated for eight years and yet was able to defeat a powerful figure and become a regional ruler. Even if others praised him, he would only humbly say that it was just luck.

The land was a scene of utter devastation. Due to the lightning tribulation, this place had become ruins. It had only been slightly affected by the lightning tribulation, and it had become like this.

This time, he chose a very remote place to undergo his tribulation, which did not attract people's attention; otherwise, it would have caused another uproar.

Li Yao rose from the void, stepped on the secret of the character "行" (xing), and vanished from the spot in a flash.

Now that his cultivation has broken through, he needs to consolidate it. He also needs to digest the insights into the Great Dao brought by the True Dragon Fist as soon as possible, and then begin to comprehend one of the scriptures of the Taiyin or Taiyang True Scripture.

When he reached the third small step of the first level of Sendai Heaven, he could stay in the Creation Domain for an hour. Now that his cultivation has broken through, the time he can stay in the Creation Domain will definitely be extended again.

Li Yao was still looking forward to it. He was extremely grateful that he had discovered the ability to continuously enter the realm of creation techniques. He didn't know how much help this discovery would bring him.

Especially as his cultivation level increases, he spends more and more time in the Creation Realm, and each time he gains more and more.
