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

Chapter 229 Imperial Formation
Li Yao's expression was solemn as he stared at the wolf head opposite him. For the first time, he felt such a powerful sense of oppression emanating from the other man.

Although they were at the same level as Langshan, the difference between them was truly greater than the difference between heaven and earth.

The two are like two completely different worlds.

The wolf-headed man remained calm, showing no regard for Li Yao, but was very curious about the Divine Forbidden Domain.

Having cultivated to his level, he has barely entered the Eighth Forbidden Realm. The next step is to comprehend the mysteries of the Divine Forbidden Realm.

However, that realm is an eternally forbidden realm, and he has never touched it in thousands of years, so he doesn't know what it's like.

Now, a Great Accomplishment King has actually mastered the Divine Restriction, and not just for a moment, but multiple times, and each time he stayed in the Divine Restriction for a short while.

In other words, the other party has mastered the method to enter the forbidden realm of gods. If he can obtain that method, not only will his strength increase dramatically, but he may also be able to break through to the Saint King realm.

Wolf Head has been stuck at the ninth level of Sainthood for who knows how long, and he is just one opportunity away from breaking through. If he can really enter the forbidden realm of gods, he might be able to break through to Saint King.

Thinking this, he could no longer restrain himself. His mind was empty except for the method to enter the forbidden realm of gods and break through to the Saint King level.

"Young friend, let me study this for a while. I won't harm you." The wolf-headed wolf's tone was slightly turbulent.

This was exciting; the thought of stepping into the divine realm and using it to break through to become a Saint King kept him from remaining calm.

"Brother, just do it directly, why do we need his permission?" Langshan said, puzzled, urging his brother to take action.

If a Saint of the Ninth Heaven were to take down Li Yao, it would be a matter of moments, without any trouble whatsoever.

"Take me down, then let's see if you have the ability." Li Yao's expression was icy, and a dazzling light suddenly shone from between his brows, from which a crystal-clear furnace flew out.

Although the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire can no longer exert its imperial might, the imperial laws imprint within it are not merely for show.

Previously, it was impossible to activate, but with Li Yao's current cultivation level, activating a wisp of the Emperor's Law is now possible.

"Buzz!"

The Divine Furnace of Departing Fire trembled, and a pattern burst forth from the furnace, emanating the aura of the Great Dao and appearing in the starry sky, radiating wisps of the divine might of the Great Emperor.

"Could this be an Emperor's array pattern?!"

"The innate markings left by the ancient emperors!"

The people inside the spaceship's pupils contracted, and they exclaimed in surprise, having seen the Emperor's array patterns in the Eternal Starfield before.

Wolf Mountain and Wolf Head also changed their expressions drastically. Although Sirius was in a remote corner, he knew of the Emperor's divine power.

I just don't usually come into contact with them, so I never imagined that just anyone could launch such an offensive.

The Divine Furnace of Departing Fire remained fixed in the starry sky, seemingly eternal and indestructible. Its patterns emitted wisps of imperial might, which, while not comparable to a complete imperial weapon, were still astonishing enough.

The situation has reversed. Saints at the Ninth Heaven are very powerful, but without becoming an Emperor, they cannot resist the laws of the Emperor's Way. This is common knowledge throughout the universe.

Only by becoming a Quasi-Emperor, and having one's laws transform into Emperor Laws, can one possess the ability to resist Emperor Laws.

"To kill and steal treasure, you first need the strength. If you don't have the strength, you'll just become a joke." Li Yao said coldly.

"boom!"

The incomplete imperial array composed of patterns suddenly trembled, and the majestic imperial might soared into the sky, sweeping out countless chaotic sword energies, which transformed into a silver river that crisscrossed the sea of ​​stars.

Even among the ancient emperors, those who did not become emperors could only comprehend one-tenth of the array patterns.

The array pattern that Li Yao unleashed was also incomplete, not even one-tenth of the original, but even so, it was still heaven-defying and unstoppable!
The chaotic sword energy surged forth, and the wolf-headed body moved, traveling tens of thousands of miles to barely dodge it, but it was still affected to some extent, with one of its legs being directly shredded.

Wolf Mountain, however, did not possess such strength. He was struck squarely by the Chaos Sword Qi and was directly shredded into a bloody pulp, his body and soul annihilated.

This is a powerful and ruthless method, but unfortunately Li Yao was unaware of it before. It was only after the goddess of the Goddess Furnace took over that he learned about it. Otherwise, if he had started to comprehend the Emperor Array earlier, the Emperor Array patterns he could unleash today would not be just this small patch.

It should be noted that even a typical Great Emperor's Corner Killing Array requires numerous divine materials to inscribe a set of array patterns.

The Hengyu Emperor Array doesn't require such trouble, because the Hengyu Emperor himself inscribed the Emperor Array within the Li Huo Divine Furnace, and it can simply be launched through the furnace.

The strength of an Imperial Formation depends on the degree of mastery the wielder has over it.

"Buzz!"

The array pattern moved again, and a surge of power erupted, about to envelop the wolf's head and suppress it in the starry sky.

"Damn it!" the wolf leader cursed, but dared not linger, and turned to rush towards Sirius.

Even a broken Emperor's array pattern is still difficult to withstand, especially since the one wielding it is a sage with the power of a saint.

If he remained in the starry sky, he would likely be relentlessly attacked by the Imperial Array, and he would be powerless to counter it. It could be said that the moment Li Yao unleashed the incomplete Imperial Array, he was already in an invincible position.

Of course, he couldn't do anything about the wolf head either, since it was a Saint of the Ninth Heaven. If the wolf head wanted to avoid the attack, he couldn't hit it.

"Unfortunately, I was caught off guard on the first strike. If it had landed right, it would have been enough to kill him." Li Yao sighed inwardly and turned back to the spaceship.

"Master, what should we do next?" Zi Yao hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Go to Minglan Star," Li Yao instructed, then continued his cultivation.

Sirius was merely an interlude in the journey. Although a half-saint and a saint perished there, it was nothing in the vast and boundless starry sky.

Who knows, right at this very moment, in some corner of the starry sky, a saint might also be falling.

Li Yao began his seclusion to comprehend the Dao, almost a month ago, after he began to study the secrets of the Word of the Master.

After so much time, he has almost completely digested his understanding of the Great Dao. In another day or two, he will be able to enter the realm of creation once again.

This time, he plans to study the Hengyu Emperor Formation in order to improve his self-protection capabilities.

This experience made Li Yao realize that the starry sky is not safe at all. There are very few ancient stars with life, but that is only in the context of the vast universe.

In truth, the number of ancient life-bearing stars is not small, and the number of powerful beings among them is countless; a super strong being might emerge at any time.

Therefore, it is essential to improve one's self-protection capabilities.

The power of the Hengyu Emperor Formation goes without saying. If he could comprehend it thoroughly and unleash the complete Emperor Formation, there would be nowhere in the world he couldn't go.

Although people say that without becoming an emperor, it is difficult to fully comprehend the Emperor Formation, that only applies to ordinary people, and Li Yao is not among them.

With the help of the Heavenly Book, he can fully comprehend a complete set of Imperial Formations. Even if he can only fully unleash three or four tenths of it, it will probably be enough to dominate the starry sky.

It's important to understand that an Imperial Array is not the same as an Imperial Weapon. If you have the ability to completely create an Imperial Array, you can unleash its full power, which is equivalent to the presence of an ancient emperor.

Using the Imperial Array of Kunlun Mountain as an example is biased, but it can still give us some insight. Ordinary Imperial Arrays, even if they are not as good as the others, are at least not far behind.

Traveling through the stars is a tedious and time-consuming activity, and Li Yao is now extremely grateful to have obtained such a spaceship, which allows him to cultivate while traveling.

The Hengyu Imperial Array is profound and mysterious, with each line containing infinite profound principles.

Li Yao entered the realm of creation and comprehended it, gaining much insight and a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.

However, although the gains were great, the progress was very slow, and he only managed to grasp a fraction of it.

However, this is already quite astonishing; it's something many cultivators can only achieve in their entire lives.

The dim starry sky remained unchanged. The spaceship had been traveling for more than two months, but the scenery around it was almost the same.

However, this did not diminish the magnificence of the starry sky. Sometimes, when Li Yao was tired from cultivation, he would stop for a while, gaze at the starry sky, and calm his mind before resuming his cultivation.

A month later, they finally arrived at Minglan Star.

This was a blue star, full of vitality. As soon as the spaceship entered, it detected a rich concentration of vital energy.

There's none of that ridiculous nonsense about Sirius here. All sorts of races exist on Bright Blue Star, making it not much different from the Big Dipper Star Region.

This star is not very large, about the same size as Sirius.

After entering Minglan Star, the spaceship was parked in a secluded location, and then two people got off the spaceship to gather information.

The coordinates provided by Dongfang Taiyi clearly included Minglan Star, and this ancient star had a small five-colored altar facing the Big Dipper constellation.

Li Yao came here naturally to travel via the Five-Colored Altar; otherwise, relying solely on spaceships, it would probably take decades or even centuries to reach Beidou.

Moreover, when navigating in space, one can easily get lost if not careful, lose the correct route, and ultimately perish in space.

Of course, he wasn't worried about that. In a hundred or two hundred years, when his cultivation level gradually improved, even the vast starry sky wouldn't be anything to him.

Losing one's way in the starry sky might be fatal to others, but for Li Yao, it was at most a temporary loss.

But as fearless as he may be, if he really had a choice, he wouldn't want to drift alone in the universe.

"Master, we have found out some information."

Several days later, the scouts returned to the spaceship and began reporting the information they had gathered during that time.

Minglan Star is a planet where cultivation is prevalent. Although the planet is not large, the number of cultivators is astonishing, and there are quite a few powerful individuals among them.
