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

Chapter 237 Shock
Based on this calculation, his combat power would only be even more outrageous. Even a fourth-level Saint Prince wouldn't be able to defeat him. Once he unleashed his power, even a fifth-level Saint Prince would be reduced to a corpse.

With such combat power, if given a few more years, the mortal world would be nothing but ants before him.

With such combat power, who wouldn't feel invincible and unparalleled throughout history!
Fang Xiu and Yang Tai were both stunned. Their hearts were surging with excitement, and they wholeheartedly agreed with their Holy Lord's words.

In this life, our Holy Lord is destined to be invincible and reign supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths. At that time, no matter how hard people try to hide, where can they hide?
The great war ended, and although complete victory was not achieved, all human strongholds on earth were eradicated, including ancestral lands.

This is practically the same as being wiped out; what's left are just remnants, not worth taking seriously at all.

Upon their triumphant return, the Holy Land of Yaoguang began to tally up their harvest and settle accounts for the gains.

"Sure enough, robbing is still the fastest way to make money."

Finally, after counting their spoils, the people of Yaoguang exclaimed in this way.

Here's something interesting: since Li Yao ascended to the position of Holy Lord, the resources of the Yao Guang Holy Land have increased more than tenfold.

Without exception, they were all seized, from the initial three-headed horned tribe to the later six royal families, and so on, in the human world.

It can be said that every attack yielded great results.

Therefore, the Yao Guang Holy Land has developed rapidly in recent years. With more resources, it naturally won't just pile them up, but will try to transform them into strength.

With a large supply of resources, the strength of the Yao Guang Holy Land naturally began to rise, and the number of powerful individuals increased.

Time passed slowly, and just two days later, a destroyed settlement in the human world was discovered and the news spread.

The Eastern Wilderness was shaken; no one could remain calm, and the shock in their hearts was beyond measure.

Having just been reborn into the world and before it could even establish its reputation, it was already being occupied by others.

"It was most likely done by the Yao Guang Holy Land; they're professionals at annihilating people in the world," someone said, and this view was widely accepted.

Even though there are still no clues about this matter, people are convinced that the Yao Guang Holy Land was behind it.

The same look in the eyes of everyone on Shaoshi Mountain as they looked at Prince Duan—they locked onto their target immediately.

"My God, not just one place, but several outposts in the world have been taken over!"

Soon, another piece of news broke that there was more than one place in the human world where people had been chosen; someone had found several other places where people had been chosen.

"The assassin dynasty that the world fears seems to have lost its secrecy in front of the Yao Guang Holy Land and can be easily found."

"The Holy Land of Yao Guang likely possesses methods to detect the whereabouts of assassins in the mortal world?!"

……

"We've found another destroyed outpost. Just how many outposts in the mortal realm have been destroyed by Yao Guang? This is already the twenty-seventh. Could there be more?!"

Unsurprisingly, in the following days, people continued to discover the locations in the human world that had been chosen.

All thirty-five outposts were discovered, which made people even more convinced that Yao Guang had indeed mastered a means to detect the whereabouts of people in the world!
This conjecture was confirmed when people discovered that a vital place in the world had been destroyed.

The destruction of an outpost might be attributed to strong intelligence, but important locations are not something that can be found just by looking for them.

"This is shocking! A vital place in the world has been swept away. This is truly defying the heavens!"

"The destruction of a vital territory should be a source of heartache, even for the mortal world."

……

"Not just one important place, but another important place in the Western Regions has been destroyed." A day later, another piece of news spread.

That wasn't the end of it. In the following days, news kept coming out about the destruction of key locations.

"Seven important places! This must mean that all the important places in the world have been uprooted!"

"How did the Yao Guang Holy Land manage to do that? How did they pinpoint such a crucial location in the mortal world?!"

Just as everyone was shocked by the destruction of seven key locations in the world, the real bombshell finally exploded at this moment.

The supreme temple of the human world was destroyed, leaving countless elite assassins dead. The mystical realm shattered and merged with the outer world.

"So... the world has been leveled!"

"The Holy Land of Yao Guang destroyed the human world?!"

"Is there anyone with influence in the Yao Guang Holy Land who can help me find out if this is true?!"

The Eastern Wilderness trembled, the five major domains trembled, and no one could remain calm; their hearts were completely filled with shock.

In the ancient times, there were three great assassin dynasties on earth. They roamed the world, and their killing power was astonishing. Anyone who was targeted by them, even kings, would shed blood.

Later, the most powerful of the three great killer dynasties, the Heavenly Court, was destroyed, leaving only Hell and the human world alive.

From then on, the three-way power struggle transformed into a balanced division of the world, with Hell and the Human Realm each dominating the assassin world. Now that the Human Realm has been destroyed, doesn't that mean that Hell is now the only assassin dynasty left in the Big Dipper?

"The mortal world has indeed been pacified. The Holy Lord personally took action, leading a group of powerful individuals to sweep away an assassin dynasty!" Finally, such news spread from the Yao Guang Holy Land, igniting the Eastern Wilderness.

"It really is the Holy Land of Yao Guang..."

"The Holy Lord of Yaoguang has emerged from seclusion and has actually destroyed a killer dynasty, announcing his existence to the world."

When this news spread, the geniuses in the Central Plains' Qishi Mansion were all moved.

The Holy Lord of Yao Guang is an insurmountable mountain standing above all young prodigies. Many have never even seen him before being told that there is an existence that shakes the ages above them.

Everyone was saying that the Holy Lord of Yaoguang was invincible, and over time, no one dared to even think of challenging him.

The young talents felt somewhat saddened. This was a golden age, with countless trendsetters rising up, but they all knew that this was all there was to it, and there were no more possibilities.

That mountain called Li Yao seemed insurmountable to them.

Aside from Qi Lin, Xiang Yufei, and a few others, the rest of them had already admitted in their hearts that they were inferior to Li Yao.

"Holy Lord Yaoguang, humph, a mere human dares to dream of being invincible under heaven." Among the Blood Lightning Clan, a young man spoke arrogantly, showing no regard for Li Yao whatsoever.

He was a prodigy of the Blood Lightning Clan, invincible for an entire era in the Primordial Era, and unmatched among the younger generation.

Therefore, he was extremely arrogant, believing that all the heroes in the world were just labels and that no one in the world could rival him.

Aside from the prodigies of the Blood Lightning Clan, other royal families such as the Blue Demon Abyss, the Blood Moon Clan, and the Divine Spirit Valley were also paying attention to this matter, but they did not express any opinions. Instead, they waited to see how Li Yao would respond.

Without a doubt, this is a provocation. If Li Yao does not resolve it forcefully, everyone will think that he is nothing special and has only been overhyped over the years.

"What kind of bullshit Blood Lightning Clan is this? If you didn't know better, you'd think they were some kind of royal family. They're so arrogant."

"Some random Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to challenge the Holy Lord? They don't even know their own limitations."

Li Rui, a former candidate for Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Land, possesses remarkable talent. In recent years, due to Yao Guang's immense wealth, he has been heavily cultivated, resulting in an exaggerated increase in his strength, making him even stronger than Holy Son-level figures.

Since his defeat to Li Yao, he has become a die-hard fan and cannot tolerate any slander from others.

Although the Blood Lightning Clan was powerful and others were afraid to speak up, he was not afraid at all. With the Yao Guang Holy Land standing behind him, who would dare to touch him?

Therefore, after the Blood Lightning Clan prodigy made a fuss, he directly retorted, using harsh words and showing no respect for the other party.

The two sides were shouting at each other, causing everyone in the Eastern Wilderness to start watching and see what would happen next.

Both sides, regardless of who they are, have astonishing backgrounds.

The Yao Guang Holy Land goes without saying; its status as an extreme power speaks for itself. Although the Blood Lightning Clan is not a royal family, its origins are equally impressive; it is one of the ten royal clans among the ancient clans!
There were many races in the ancient times, including many royal families, but the fact that the ten royal families were listed separately shows their great strength.

Such a pair of forces, either of whom could shake the Eastern Wilderness with a mere stomp of their foot, naturally attracted attention when they met.

Li Rui's sharp tongue greatly angered the Blood Lightning Clan, who felt offended.

"If you're so good with words, then fight me. Then it will be clear who is stronger and who is weaker." The prodigy of the Blood Lightning Clan once again issued a challenge.

There was nothing they could do. Despite Li Rui's mockery, the Blood Lightning Clan couldn't intervene. Once they did, it wouldn't be a personal matter anymore; it would become a battle between the Blood Lightning Clan and the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Therefore, the Blood Lightning Clan prodigy had no choice but to step forward and fight Li Yao to determine the victor.

He was very confident. Although he knew that Li Yao could kill a Dao-Slaying King, so what? It wasn't like he couldn't do it.

The challenge was issued, and the Eastern Wilderness became extremely lively. No one expected that, even in this day and age, there would still be someone who dared to challenge Li Yao!

The Blood Lightning Clan prodigy is very strong, and many people have heard rumors about him. If he were to challenge someone else, many people would think he could win.

But if his opponent is Li Yao, then the outcome doesn't seem to be in much suspense.

"This is a joke. The Holy Lord of Yaoguang possesses profound and unparalleled power, and his combat strength is unprecedented. To fight against Xue Sha would be to completely lower his status," someone said without any hesitation.

For more than a decade, Li Yao had been the number one in the world since defeating the Northern Emperor Teng.

By now, this concept has become deeply ingrained, much like Yin Tiande's influence on the Ziwei Star Region.

At this point, unless a groundbreaking figure emerges who demonstrates power far surpassing Li Yao, the people of Beidou will not be able to accept the fact that Li Yao is inferior to others.

Just like what Li Yao did in the Ziwei Star Region, otherwise, everyone would still subconsciously believe that there is no one in the world who can fight against Li Yao.

At least Blood Killer wasn't that epoch-making person.

Even though many people don't even know the extent of Li Yao's strength because he hasn't shown his skills in public for a long time, they still believe that he is invincible.
