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

Chapter 220 Imperial Might
"How dare you run wild in my clan's sacred land!" From the depths of the Golden Divine Kingdom, a dazzling light shot out.

He stands high in the sky, looking down upon all living beings.

With the Ten Thousand Crows Formation broken, the Golden Crow Clan will be unable to remain calm and will truly face the danger of annihilation.

In the distance, everyone became solemn. This was the king of the Golden Crow Clan, an old Golden Crow who had lived for over 3,700 years and was only one step away from becoming a Great King.

His record is terrifying. He has dominated the Ziwei Ancient Star for more than three thousand years. If he hadn't been seriously injured when he tried to steal the goddess from the Human King Palace, he would have broken through to the Great Completion King level long ago.

No one dared to underestimate such a figure. Even though Li Yao had just displayed boundless divine power, people did not believe that the Golden Crow King was invincible.

It should be noted that this is the territory of the Golden Crow Clan, and there's no guarantee they won't use some heaven-defying methods.

"You are truly audacious, daring to trespass into my clan all by yourself." The Golden Crow King's voice was full of majesty.

"It's just a crow with its feathers dyed gold. What's wrong with it?" Li Yao smiled faintly, completely disregarding the old golden crow.

"You're courting death!" King Golden Crow roared.

"boom!"

A burst of golden light suddenly filled the sky, and a terrifying holy might spread, covering the entire world. Even those standing in the distance fell directly from the sky, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests.

With a clang, a golden, black-winged, gilded halberd was drawn out, and countless divine rays of light emanated from it.

This is a strangely shaped weapon, resembling a lifelike golden crow about to take flight.

The moment the black-winged gilded halberd appeared, it carried an overwhelming holy might, causing the entire world to tremble.

"The Black-Winged Golden Halberd, a legendary sacred weapon of the Golden Crow Clan, has drunk the blood of many saints!" someone exclaimed from afar.

Long ago, a sage of the Golden Crow Clan, wielding a black-winged gilded halberd, roamed freely across the ancient star of Ziwei, and none could rival him.

Even saints, if they are not careful when facing this black-winged gilded halberd, can suffer great losses.

"Relying on your meager strength, you dare to act recklessly. Do you know that even a saint wouldn't dare to offend my Golden Crow Clan so easily?" The old Golden Crow held a gilded halberd, his aura terrifying beyond measure.

A near-perfect king can revive a legendary sacred weapon. At this moment, the gilded halberd is on the path to revival, ready to recapture its former invincible glory.

"As the patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan, you actually used a legendary holy weapon against someone of a lower realm. You're not setting a good example for your sons," Li Yao sneered.

“You feel it’s unfair, but in this world, the winner always takes all,” King Golden Crow said.

"boom!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Golden Crow King moved, slashing down with his gilded halberd. The terrifying holy laws shook the world, causing the void to collapse completely.

This attack came extremely fast, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. Its power was terrifying to the extreme. Even a saint who had just entered the fourth level of the Immortal Realm would probably not want to confront it head-on.

Because the legendary sacred weapon was forged by the Great Sage, the sacred laws contained within it far surpass those of the Four Immortal Sages.

Li Yao's eyes narrowed as he felt a long-lost sense of oppression. A near-perfected king wielding a legendary holy weapon truly made him feel threatened.

With a soft "whoosh," Li Yao's figure vanished from his spot, barely dodging the attack of the gilded halberd.

It was very dangerous, but that was exactly what he wanted. Only through such a fierce battle could he make rapid progress.

This is also why Li Yao didn't let Dongfang Taiyi make a move, because such a big battle could be a good opportunity to hone his skills.

Having reached his current level, he has few rivals in the world, and the gap between him and his peers is vast, so he can only turn his attention to the older generation.

"Hey!"

When his first attack missed, the Golden Crow King changed his attack to a sweeping strike, and his gilded halberd tore through the void, creating a huge crack.

Unfortunately, they still found nothing; Li Yao had already disappeared there.

"Hey!"

A dazzling stream of light floated by, and time and space seemed to become somewhat unstable.

Old Golden Crow's pupils contracted, somewhat incredulous.

The Golden Crow Clan's escape light is as radiant as the sun, possessing innate speed. However, the person before them is even faster than the Rainbow Transformation Technique.

An unimaginable surge of energy swept through, the sheer speed nearly freezing everything in its path.

Li Yao's speed reached its peak, breaking through to the front of the Golden Crow King, bypassing the gilded halberd, and slamming a palm hard into the old Golden Crow's chest.

"Pfft!" The old golden crow was sent flying, its body cracking, and golden blood splattering everywhere.

No one saw clearly what had just happened, but upon seeing the old golden crow fly out and the resulting shockwave, they knew that a collision had occurred there.

"How is this possible!" Old Golden Crow exclaimed in horror. If it weren't for the timely radiance of the legendary holy weapon that froze him, he would probably be torn to pieces by now.

"This speed is the secret of the 'Xing' character. Only the legendary 'Xing' character secret can possess such a ghostly speed!"

"The Secret of the Word '行' (Xing) – I never imagined that such a legendary divine technique would actually appear in the world!"

Everyone was utterly shocked and recognized the divine magic that Li Yao had used.

The secret of the Xingzi is known throughout the entire universe, not just by the people of Beidou.

Of course, knowing this is one thing, but the Ziwei Ancient Star has no lineage of the Xingzi Secret Technique, and no one in the world has ever demonstrated this secret technique.

"boom!"

Within the divine realm, the old Golden Crow's divine power surged, frantically urging the gilded halberd to unleash streaks of divine light to protect itself.

In this way, he would be in an invincible position, and Li Yao would be unable to get close to him by relying on the Xingzi Secret Technique.

But the next moment, the entire divine kingdom was bleeding, and terrifying fluctuations spread. Li Yao stepped on the Xingzi Secret and launched a frenzied massacre against the Golden Crow Clan.

The speed at which he used the "Xing Zi Secret" was as fast as he killed people. Golden blood mist exploded, and countless golden crows were blown apart in an instant.

Such a bloody scene made everyone feel slightly uncomfortable, as if they were feeling a sense of shared sorrow for the fallen.

The Golden Crow Clan is already one of the most powerful races in Ziwei. Even such a being was so pathetic in front of Li Yao. If it were me, how much better would my fate be?!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

Golden crows fell from the sky, their golden blood pouring down like a torrential rain, or like suns being shot down from the sky.

The Golden Crow King roared, his eyes bloodshot, his heart surging with murderous intent.

"I will sacrifice my blood to the soldiers!"

"Pfft!"

The old Golden Crow reached out and tore his own arm apart, golden blood splattering and, as if possessed, covering the gilded halberd.

"boom!"

In an instant, the holy might became even more intense, the holy laws became even more terrifying, and the deity within the gilded halberd awakened.

Li Yao, who was reaping the lives of the Golden Crows, stopped and stared directly at the Black-Winged Golden Halberd. A dazzling light rose from between his brows, scattering brilliant divine light, making him disregard the holy might bestowed upon him.

Li Yao's eyes were cold, and he stopped acting; he sensed intense danger.

"So what if the legendary holy weapon is revived? Brother Li, use the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire to raze the Golden Crow Clan to the ground!" Li Tian shouted from afar, his expression extremely arrogant.

Without him saying a word, Li Yao did just that, the light between his brows shining even brighter, soaring into the sky.

"boom!"

At this moment, the world became completely calm, and a power far exceeding that of a saint appeared between heaven and earth.

This is the Emperor's Might!

A crystal-clear divine furnace flew out from between Li Yao's eyebrows, emitting countless rays of divine light, becoming the only one of its kind in the world!

There are no imperial weapons on the ancient star of Ziwei. Since Emperor Hengyu left the ancient star of Ziwei tens of thousands of years ago, the people here have never felt such power again.

At this moment, the Divine Furnace of Li Huo, as clear and lustrous as divine jade, exuded imperial might, allowing the people of this world to once again feel this overwhelming power that reigns over the nine heavens and ten earths.

In an instant, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, unable to resist worshipping the Divine Furnace of Li Huo.

The Golden Crow King's gilded halberd trembled, and his holy might was almost entirely contained within him. He was forced down from the sky by the imperial might and barely managed to stand on the ground.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, their hearts filled with unparalleled shock.

An Imperial Weapon! This is an ultimate Imperial Weapon that exists only in legends!
It's no wonder Li Yao had such a trump card; he was so confident in attacking the Golden Crow Clan.

With an imperial weapon in hand, coupled with his cultivation level, he could indeed go anywhere in this world.
