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

Chapter 252 Sanctification
Flesh and blood, broken bones, shattered fragments of the primordial spirit, and pieces of the furnace shards mingled together, being tempered in the terrifying sea of ​​lightning.

This is a casting process, primarily using lightning tribulation to forge me and the furnace into one.

I am the furnace, and the furnace is me!
This method is incredibly forceful, but it does accelerate the transformation of the furnace and enhance its overall quality.

This is not a one-sided effort; the furnace is also resonating and responding to Li Yao.

Flesh, bone fragments, and primordial spirit coalesced into a large furnace, with furnace fragments floating within it. A magnificent celestial sound resounded, incomparably ancient and profoundly mysterious.

This is a strange blood furnace that actually blocked the heavenly tribulation, achieving a moment of eternity, becoming immortal and eternal in the void of the universe.

It merges with the furnace, becoming one with each other, inseparable.

The ultimate imperial weapon is an alternative continuation of the life of the ancient emperors. This statement reveals the profound connection between the weapon and its master at the emperor level.

Just like Ye Fan, even though the Heavenly Emperor has become a mortal, the only thing in the world that can affect him is the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things.

"boom!"

The starry sea trembled violently, and a cataclysmic calamity swept in from its depths once again, even more terrifying than the Taiyin and Taiyang God lightning tribulations. Chaotic energy boiled and swept across the starry sea, as endless chaotic lightning tribulations descended.

The balance was broken. Lei Hai was pierced, the flesh and blood cauldron exploded, and both the furnace and Li Yao suffered devastating blows.

Both turned to dust, dissipating into the chaotic divine thunder.

But this is not the end of the road; rather, it is a way of living from the brink of death.

Lightning represents the ultimate destruction in the world, yet within destruction lies the potential for life.

As a grandmaster of the Thunder Dao, Li Yao was certainly unaware of this.

An ordinary person would be too preoccupied to care about anything else and would be destroyed by the lightning tribulation. But Li Yao was different. He seized the opportunity for survival within the lightning tribulation and found a way out between life and death.

Amidst the abundant vitality, a body was reconstituted within the sea of ​​lightning, and then the Immortal Gold Furnace was also reforged.

The new physical body and furnace carried an inexplicable Daoist aura, like an eternal and immortal holy flame, unbreakable.

The tribulation lasted a long time, but it could no longer harm Li Yao and the Immortal Golden Furnace.

"Road to Road, very Avenue……"

A grand and majestic sound emanated from within the furnace, as if it came from the ancient wilderness, yet as tender as a newborn infant.

A string of stars crashed down, baptizing the divine furnace as if it were being forged, making it all the more majestic and imposing.

"Buzz!"

Finally, the furnace changed, emanating an aura of holy power that was too terrifying to look at directly, wisps and strands of which crushed the sea of ​​thunder.

A new god was born from the furnace, and it came to life, becoming an immortal holy weapon!

It is not an exaggeration to say that holy weapons forged from supreme sacred artifacts are almost immortal and difficult to be worn away by time.

"boom!"

Five-colored celestial light descended, wisps and strands, hazy and indistinct, like five-colored celestial fire, each strand enough to evaporate the ocean and burn the heavens and earth!
This is the power of offense; at the same time, the furnace possesses eternal defense. The source of all things is the essence of Xuanhuang, which is as heavy as a mountain and indestructible.

Therefore, this is an unparalleled sacred artifact, not only formidable in attack but also formidable in defense.

When the furnace transformed into a sacred weapon, everything changed. The lightning tribulations in the starry sea couldn't even break the aura emanating from it, let alone destroy the furnace.

Furnace has stepped into a new field before Li Yao!
When it hovered above Li Yao's head, emitting five-colored immortal light, he became impervious to all magic. Everything harmful to him could not get close and was firmly blocked outside. Even the lightning tribulation could not cross it!
The furnace forged from the ultimate sacred artifact has transformed into a sacred weapon! Its power is unimaginable, especially since the dragon-patterned black gold and phoenix blood crimson gold within it have awakened the profound mysteries of immortal gold, making them even more powerful than immortal gold sacred weapons.

A massive bolt of lightning spread out, but the Immortal Golden Furnace only trembled slightly, and the lightning dissipated, creating a somewhat terrifying scene.

Logically speaking, Li Yao should have been able to survive the ordeal simply by staying peacefully under the furnace.

But he did not do that. Instead, he stepped out from under the furnace, let out a roar, and charged into the lightning to continue fighting against it, taking the opportunity to comprehend the laws of lightning.

At the same time, he kept chanting, and powerful ancient characters flew out one after another. Although they could not last forever, they could appear for a moment and fly into the furnace.

Now that the Immortal Gold Furnace has given birth to a deity, it no longer needs to be inscribed on the furnace body. It can record these things, evolve on its own, and enhance its power.

"boom!"

The ancient characters are extraordinary, all originating from the Imperial Scripture. Their power is unparalleled in the world, and the furnace benefits from this, becoming even more sacred. This leads to the emergence of many strange phenomena and the appearance of some living beings around the furnace.

"boom!"

The light from his fist shook the starry sky. Endless crimson blood energy surged from Li Yao's body, accompanied by surging divine power. His battle aura was unparalleled, and he fought against the tribulation light.

This was a natural disaster, but also an opportunity. He greedily took what he wanted, devouring everything in his path, including the sea of ​​thunder, and his power gradually increased.

Holy might permeated the air, sweeping across the galaxy. A fish swimming against the current finally made a desperate attempt, rushing towards the towering Dragon Gate. Once it crossed it, it would be a qualitative transformation, ascending a heavenly ladder and achieving the sublimation of life.

Although Sendai is a great secret realm, the differences between the different areas are significant.

Especially the four immortal saints, whose realms are completely incomparable to those of the previous ones.

Saints and non-saints can even be said to be two different kinds of life. Unless one is a prince of the emperor or a peerless genius who has amazed the ages, one can appreciate the demeanor of a saint in the realm of a semi-saint.

Besides, for a non-saint to see a saint is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

The sea of ​​thunder returned to calm, and the chaotic divine thunder tribulation disappeared. However, it was clear that the great tribulation of the saints could not be so simple. Although the lightning was not as terrifying as before, an even greater danger was about to descend.

Li Yao's black hair was disheveled, and his blue robe was already tattered. He was naked, with a tall and slender figure, and his eyes were like lightning, like a god gazing into the depths of the starry sky.

With his mastery of the laws of thunder, he naturally sensed that the great calamity had not dissipated, but had instead become even stronger.

Clearly, the tribulation of the young emperor, though late, is coming and will not be absent.

In the starry sky, a strong and robust young man emerged from the sea of ​​lightning. He had thick hair and deep eyes that seemed to contain a whole starry sky. He exuded an aura of dominance over the world and supremacy over all.

Just one figure, yet it silenced the entire starry sky. The lightning was still there, but it stopped abruptly after the figure appeared, as if time had been paused.

The figure was incredibly clear, with only the face slightly blurred. Otherwise, it was indistinguishable from a real person, with radiant and vibrant skin.

Compared to the Great Tribulation of Severing the Dao in Chinese Paladin 3, this time the humanoid lightning is undoubtedly more realistic. It gives people the feeling that a young emperor has really walked out of ancient history, with a heroic and unparalleled spirit!
Li Yao stood unmoved amidst the sea of ​​stars, his aura no less imposing than that of the figure opposite him, and perhaps even subtly surpassing it.

In terms of strength, he was confident that he feared no one at the same level. No matter which emperor's mark this humanoid lightning was, it could not possibly be his opponent.

Although he had only just entered the Saint Realm, he was confident that his strength was already enough to make him virtually invincible at this level.

The great calamity has not yet passed, and the difference in their cultivation levels is still unknown, but even in this state, his combat power has increased dramatically.

"boom!"

A lightning-fast figure emerged from the sea of ​​thunder, moving with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger. He struck with a fist, displaying unparalleled divine might. His black hair danced wildly in the wind. If this power were directed at someone who had achieved sainthood, it would be unprecedented in history.

Li Yao's eyes were calm, but a slight fighting spirit rose in his heart. He also raised his hand and threw a punch.

"boom!"

The starry sea trembled, and two unparalleled auras surged forth, far surpassing their current realms. Needless to say, Li Yao stepped into the Divine Forbidden Realm, and the lightning-fast figure did so simultaneously.

The world of Shrouding the Heavens is like this: beneath the divine restrictions lies a shackle. If Li Yao doesn't step into the divine restrictions and only relies on the Eight Restrictions, who knows how long he would have to fight the lightning figure.

He knew that there was definitely more than just the lightning-fast figure in front of him. Before the others came out, he quickly cut through the mess and gained the upper hand.

This will make the subsequent battles much easier.

"boom!"

But something unexpected happened: the punch ended in a draw.

"How is this possible!" Li Yao trembled all over, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although they are all divine prohibitions, there are still differences in their level of importance.

It's not arrogance, but at his current level, his divine restrictions are absolutely unparalleled throughout history. Not to mention ordinary Great Emperors, even Wu Shi and Ruthless Man couldn't compare to him.

Throughout history, apart from a few great emperors who entered the divine forbidden zone multiple times before becoming sages, most others have probably only stepped into it a handful of times.

Ordinary divine restrictions are completely different from his divine restrictions; he has come a long way in the realm of divine restrictions.

But now, the divine restriction of the humanoid lightning opposite him is almost on par with his own!

Li Yao refused to believe in evil and fought it again. His cultivation was boiling and his combat power was constantly increasing.

He wanted to overwhelm his opponent with force, not believing that the humanoid lightning opposite him could keep up with his combat power.

"Boom!"

The starry sea trembled as they unleashed their powerful and unrestrained attacks, a direct clash of brute force. Their fists were unprecedented in history, their martial will soaring to the heavens, stirring up the winds and clouds. With each punch, boundless fist light exploded, instantly shattering any celestial bodies affected.

From afar, the area was engulfed in crimson aura, accompanied by the world-shaking light of fists, making the lightning tribulation seem like a mere backdrop, no longer so conspicuous.

This was a clash that shook the ancient history. If anyone were to witness it, it would be utterly astonishing and would overturn all understanding.

Li Yao was already convinced of his own abilities; this humanoid lightning bolt opposite him could actually keep up with his combat strength.

"So that's how it is. Is this a tribulation against oneself?"

He vaguely understood and realized this matter.

During the Heavenly Tribulation, there is an extremely special Easter egg that ordinary people almost never trigger. Only the most amazing people can trigger this Heavenly Tribulation Easter egg, which is to fight against themselves.

He hadn't expected it at first, but after dozens of collisions, triggering the "All" secret and multiplying his combat power tenfold, he finally realized that his opponent could still keep up with his combat power.

The humanoid lightning bolt opposite him was formed according to his thoughts.

But so what? Although the 'he' marked by the Heavenly Tribulation is troublesome, he is still no match for it.

In fact, 'he' was like an imposter in front of him. After figuring out the pattern, he successfully killed the second 'he' before he appeared.

After a long battle, a total of nine "he" figures appeared, and without exception, they were all killed without causing much trouble.

Then came the tribulation of the nine young emperors: Emperor Wushi, Amitabha Buddha, Fighting Saint Emperor, Feathered Emperor, Supreme Emperor, and Hengyu Emperor...

These lightning-marked individuals were no match for Li Yao; in fact, they couldn't even keep up with his combat strength.

With the divine restriction triggered, Li Yao dealt with each enemy with a single punch, even more easily than he had dealt with the previous one.

The young emperor also triggered the divine restriction, but it was useless; the gap was obvious, at least three or four minor realms apart.

This shows how far Li Yao has progressed in the realm of divine prohibitions, far surpassing these young emperors and making him a unique figure.

Not long after, the tribulation of the young emperor ended, but the great tribulation did not end there.

Li Yao continued to ascend to the heavens, facing even more brutal battles. Only by charging through them could he be considered to have survived the great tribulation of becoming a saint.

"Kill..."

Suddenly, shouts of battle erupted, and a desolate atmosphere swept over him. Li Yao had arrived at a battlefield, finding himself in the midst of a divine war.

With swords clashing and horses galloping, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and thousands of troops surged forward like a torrent. Endless heavenly soldiers and generals, wielding heavenly halberds, were awe-inspiring.

Ancient towers and grand halls stood clearly in the lightning, resembling the heavenly court of a mythical era.

They were all incredibly real, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and fiction; the shouts of battle were deafening, and the thunderous sound of war drums resounded.

This was a fierce battle; galaxies shattered, and chaotic energy surged, as if the world was being reborn.

Countless powerful cultivators were fighting, battling in front of the Heavenly Palace and the Great Hall. Although all of this was formed from lightning, it was like an epic scene, as if taking people back to the mythical era.

"Kill..."

When the great war broke out, Li Yao was drawn into it and forced to participate in the battle, joining one of the opposing teams.

The Vermilion Bird danced across the nine heavens, its wings causing the Milky Way to collapse; the Teng Snake pierced the sky, sweeping across and causing all the stars to fall—a terrifying scene resembling a great catastrophe.

Li Yao, amidst the chaos, did not retreat but charged forward fearlessly. With the Immortal Golden Furnace above his head, he charged at the forefront, shattering all who stood in his way!
This is a crazy move. In the ancient war of gods, the participants are at least saints and at the highest level.

Although this is a tribulation of lightning, and it's unlikely that anything too outrageous will appear, all that can be seen are beings of saintly strength.

Even an elephant can be killed by a multitude of ants. At the level of a saint, one possesses unparalleled combat power. If overwhelmed by a sea of ​​people, even someone like Li Yao would likely perish.

But Li Yao didn't care about anything else at that moment. He followed the direction of his heart, fought a selfless battle, and pursued his own path!

Li Yao was killing with great gusto. He kept triggering divine restrictions, freeing his combat power from constraints. With a single punch, the head of an ancient saint who was blocking his way exploded, and blood spurted into the sky.

Of course, he also took this opportunity to unleash his offensive magic and test what he had learned during this period.

Having studied the realm of creation for so long, his mastery of each divine technique has greatly increased.

As soon as the secret of the "Fighting" character was revealed, the Void Mirror shot out divine light, piercing through ancient saints one by one and killing them with the divine light.

As soon as the secret of the previous word was released, his body moved with extreme speed. Wherever he was, people and horses fell over, and ancient saints kept exploding.

The secret of the previous word...

He fought his way through the battlefield, encountering no rivals. Finally, he broke through the battlefield, and there were no more enemies in front of him.

This was a brutal battle, a fight among thousands of soldiers. Every single one of them was a saint; an ordinary person would have perished in a single encounter.

Even Li Yao was exhausted after fighting like this.

However, he gained a lot. He had just broken through to the Saint realm and was baptized by such a great battle, which greatly stabilized his realm.

"it's over!"

Li Yao arrived before a chaotic sea of ​​thunder and threw the Immortal Gold Furnace into it to refine the energy. At the same time, he quietly comprehended the laws of thunder.
