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

Chapter 214 Ziwei Shock
Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand how terrifying this palm strike was; it seemed to contain the power of billions of divine beings, making it utterly unstoppable.

Lu Ming's expression changed drastically, and he was extremely shocked, but he didn't have time to think, because the giant hand had already slammed down.

"The sun's true fire burns everything!"

The sun chariot erupted in blazing flames, burning fiercely, devouring the sky and the earth. Golden holy flames surged everywhere, even burning away the laws of nature.

The Golden Crow clan are born fire spirits, close to the Great Dao of Fire, and cultivate by absorbing the essence of solar fire. They can refine terrifying true solar fire that can burn anything!
However, Li Yao was not afraid of the True Sun Fire. With a slight tremor of his palm, a black holy power emerged, and the surging True Sun Fire dissipated upon encountering the black holy power.

The Holy Power of Taiyin!

One of the two fundamental sacred powers of the universe, only the sacred power of the sun can contend with it. Although the true fire of the sun is powerful, it is still no match for the sacred power of the moon.

A blinding golden light suddenly flashed. Although Lu Ming was shocked, he did not slow down at all. Just as the giant hand was about to strike, he urged the carriage to its full strength. Countless Dao patterns appeared, and the golden crow cried out, raising the defense to the extreme.

"boom!"

The giant palm slammed down, its swirling Yin Holy Power surging forth, shattering the Dao patterns, destroying the Golden Crow's defensive shield, and reaching into the carriage.

Lu Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly raised his palm to meet the attack.

At the same time, the carriage shook, and the array patterns inside it emerged, shooting out countless chaotic sword energies, endless and converging into a river of sword energy, rushing forward and killing.

"what……"

The moment their palms collided, Lu Ming let out a miserable cry.

He was severely injured; the arm that collided with him exploded, along with half of his body, which was blasted off. Golden blood splattered as his remains crashed into the carriage, sending the carriage flying sideways.

"Clang!" "Clang!"...

The chaotic sword energy surged and slammed into Li Yao's palm, sending sparks flying, but it had no other effect and could not harm Li Yao in the slightest.

"Lu Ming is a Dao-Slaying King, and even he was defeated!"

"Incredible! Just how strong is this young man? He can even defeat a Dao-Slaying King!"

"We may have been wrong from the start. This young man is not a second Yin Tiande; he is far more extraordinary than Yin Tiande!"

Inside Tianxuan Mountain, everyone watched this scene in utter shock.

Lu Ming, the younger brother of the Golden Crow King, is a Dao-Slaying King, and is definitely among the top tier of people on the Purple Star Ancient Star.

But now, he has suffered a crushing defeat and has no chance to fight back.

Li Yao withdrew his hand, glanced at the white mark on it, and then stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he soared into the sky and blocked Lu Ming's way as he tried to escape.

The "Xing Zi Secret" is unparalleled in the world. After breaking through to the Dao-Slaying King realm, his speed has also experienced a leapfrog increase, and now he is probably much faster than a Half-Saint.

At this moment, Lu Ming had clearly realized that he was no match for Li Yao, so he made a decisive move to leave the place first.

However, how could he escape? Although the Golden Crow Clan possessed the power of extreme speed, they were still far inferior to the Xingzi Secret Technique.

Li Yao's mastery of the "Xing" character technique has reached its pinnacle. Not to mention Lu Ming, even if the Golden Crow King were here, he would not be able to escape from his grasp.

“If you kill me, there will be absolutely no turning back from the Golden Crow Clan,” Lu Ming said in a low voice.

"Why do you think I would let the Golden Crow Clan go?" Li Yao asked.

The scene fell silent for a moment, then Lu Ming laughed wildly, "Although you are powerful, you are nothing in front of the Golden Crow Clan. As long as the clan is determined, taking you down will not be difficult at all."

"Is that so? I'll be waiting, but you won't be around to see it."

After saying that, Li Yao disappeared and reappeared standing in front of Lu Ming.

"Pfft!"

This finger strike was incredibly fast, piercing through Lu Ming's skull and severing all his life force.

The king of the Golden Crow clan died so casually.

Li Yao waved his hand to collect Lu Ming's body, then activated the "Soldier" secret technique and forcibly drove the Sun Chariot back to Tianxuan Mountain.

The sun chariot shone with golden light, its power even greater than when it was in Lu Ming's hands.

Li Yao stood in the chariot, enveloped in golden light, just like the legendary sun god who rode the sun chariot across the sky.

The banquet at Tianxuan Mountain continued, but at this moment, everyone's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally drawn to Li Yao, who was seated at the head of the table.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate this young man anymore. He had proven that even the Golden Crow Clan might not be able to defeat him.

It may be too early to conclude who the final winner of this battle is.

The old and new leaders of Tianxuan Mountain are very fortunate at this moment, knowing that they have made the right decision.

Offending such a person could pose a serious threat to the Tianxuan Mountain sect, potentially leading to its downfall.

Soon, the banquet ended. The person from the Longevity Temple did not arrive, nor did the Golden Crow Clan.

Helpless, Li Yao could only get up and leave.

"So you really have the confidence, brother. That Lu Ming is a rare expert among the Golden Crow Clan, yet he is no match for you." Yan Yixi followed up, his tone somewhat shocked.

Originally, he thought that Li Yao might have a powerful trump card, which was why he was so calm. But he didn't expect that Li Yao's trump card was his own strength.

“The Golden Crow Clan isn’t that simple. Lu Ming was killed by me, and they won’t tolerate this. Next, I’ll probably get serious,” Li Yao said. “Brother, you dared to kill, so you must have a backup plan. I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to you,” Yan Yixi said firmly, closing his folding fan.

“Yes, I’m confident too, but I need to prepare some trump cards.” Li Yao nodded, then stared intently at Yan Yixi.

Yan Yixi felt uncomfortable being stared at and said, "Brother, is there anything I can help you with by looking at me like this?"

“We really do need it,” Li Yao said.

Yan Yixi remained silent, her mind racing as she considered what she could do to help the other person.

In the end, he realized that he didn't have anything that the other party would like, but there was one thing in the Human Desire Path that the other party desperately needed.

"How did you know?" After a long silence, Yan Yixi finally asked.

He was very famous, but in the entire Ziwei Sect, apart from his junior brother, no one knew about his lineage.

After all, the reputation of the Human Desire Path in Ziwei was too bad. If people knew that he came from the Human Desire Path, he would definitely be hunted down by the whole world.

To keep this secret, he and his junior brother even buried the Goddess Furnace and dared not use it, for fear of exposing the fact that they came from the Human Desire Path.

"It is rumored that the Human Desire Path has two famous Heavenly Techniques: the Six Desires Heavenly Technique and the Great Art of Severing Emotions. Brother Yan and your junior brother come from the same school, yet their styles are completely different. It's not hard to guess," Li Yao said.

"Brother, do you wish to borrow the Goddess Furnace?!" Yan Yixi asked.

“That’s right. It’s rumored that this weapon was forged by Emperor Hengyu. Coincidentally, I also have an Emperor Hengyu weapon, but because it lacks a deity, I can’t unleash much of its power,” Li Yao told the truth.

"What!" Yan Yixi was shocked and couldn't help but stop.

"Were your ancestors also related to Emperor Hengyu?"

Because of her own experience, Yan Yixi's first thought was that Li Yao's ancestors were also related to Emperor Hengyu, so Emperor Hengyu also forged a weapon for Li Yao's ancestor.

“No, the weapon I’m wearing is Emperor Hengyu’s own weapon,” Li Yao said.

After speaking, he took out a bronze furnace, which was crystal clear and had colorful rays of light flowing on it, with an aura of eternity flowing through it.

"The Divine Furnace of Li Huo!" Yan Yixi exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the bronze furnace in Li Yao's hand.

The Divine Furnace of Departure was Emperor Hengyu's weapon, and it even accompanied him through his imperial tribulation.

It can be said that on the ancient star of Ziwei, the Fire God Furnace is far more famous than the Sun God Furnace, because after becoming an emperor, Emperor Hengyu went to the Big Dipper.

The Divine Furnace of Departure was the weapon that accompanied Emperor Hengyu throughout his growth and helped him establish his formidable reputation on the ancient star of Ziwei.

The karmic connection between the Human Desire Path and Emperor Hengyu is significant, so they naturally recognize Emperor Hengyu's weapon.

"Brother, how did Emperor Hengyu's weapon end up in your hands? Could it be that you are a descendant of Emperor Hengyu?" Yan Yixi asked curiously.

"No, after Emperor Hengyu attained enlightenment, he forged another imperial weapon. The Divine Furnace of Departing Fire did not transform into an ultimate imperial weapon," Li Yao explained.

"Yes, indeed, there's no extreme fluctuation." Yan Yixi also sensed it.

In terms of the strength of cultivators in the past three thousand years, the Ziwei Ancient Star is stronger than that of the Beidou Star.

In the Big Dipper, not counting those that are sealed, there are very few even Dao-Slaying Kings in this world.

On the other hand, although the number of Dao-Slaying Kings on the ancient star Ziwei is also rare, they still appear occasionally. In fact, there are even unsealed Half-Saints on this ancient star.

What this ancient star truly lacks is high-end combat power; this vast imperial star doesn't even possess a single supreme imperial weapon.

"Because the deity of this weapon was taken away, it cannot unleash its terrifying power despite containing it." Li Yao looked at the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire.

Yan Yixi opened her folding fan and suddenly realized, "Both the Goddess Furnace and the Divine Fire Furnace were made by Emperor Hengyu. If the two are combined, they may complement each other and surpass their original power."

“Indeed, weapons made by the same person have perfectly matched internal laws, and the Divine Furnace of Blazing Fire contains the laws of the Great Emperor’s imprint. As long as there is a deity, it may be possible to get infinitely close to an Emperor-level weapon!” Li Yao was also somewhat excited, guessing that if it was true, the divine power of the Divine Furnace of Blazing Fire would be fully unleashed.

The world is unaware that the Goddess Furnace is merely a great holy weapon, but Li Yao knows that there is another furnace within the Goddess Furnace, which is a true peak quasi-emperor weapon, also infinitely close to an emperor weapon.

If the two were to be combined, they might actually rival imperial weapons and unleash imperial might.

Yan Yixi excitedly agreed. Over the years, he had been forced to bury the Goddess Furnace because he was worried about his identity as a member of the Human Desire Path being exposed.

But now, that worry will no longer exist. With an imperial weapon in hand, who in the entire Ziwei realm would dare to hunt them down?

Even if those forces are unhappy, they have to endure it. Anyone who dares to come up will be wiped out along with the Daoist sect behind them.

In the Big Dipper, even having an Imperial Weapon might not be enough to do whatever one wants, because other forces also possess Imperial Weapons.

But in Ziwei, it's different. The Imperial Weapon is unique, and nothing can rival it. Therefore, wielding the Imperial Weapon is equivalent to being invincible.

However, before they can unearth the Goddess Furnace, they must first find Yan Yixi's junior brother, Li Tian.

The two brothers had promised each other that the Goddess Furnace could only be retrieved with the consent of both parties.

The two embarked on a journey to find Li Tian.

At this moment, the entire Ziwei region was completely shaken.

After Lu Tianxu, the second prince and Lu Ming of the Golden Crow Clan also fell to the same person!
The news spread like wildfire throughout Ziwei, shocking Luzhou, Shenzhou, Hezhou, and Buzhou.
