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

Chapter 274 The Ancestral King Makes a Move
In the Pure Land of Yaochi, everyone was silent and trembling, and no one dared to step forward to dissuade them, for fear of being killed on the spot.

This female ancestral king was extremely beautiful, with a slender figure and skin as translucent as mutton fat jade and divine iron. A divine light surrounded her, like a goddess emerging from the Luo River, but at this moment she displayed a terrifying ferocity.

As a descendant of the Eight Divine Generals, the Ancestor Queen's faith in the Immortal Emperor was extremely fanatical, regarding him as a god.

Anyone who dares to insult the gods, even if the other party is the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor, is unforgivable in her eyes!
Of course, directly killing him was unrealistic. She knew her limits; killing the Holy Prince would definitely cause a major disaster.

Even if you can't kill him, you must cripple him so that he can no longer threaten the Son of God; that's the bare minimum.

"Offending the gods is a crime deserving of death!" The Queen Mother's voice was icy as she looked at the Holy Prince: "But I'll give you a chance. Apologize to the Heavenly Prince, and then repent to the Undying Heavenly Emperor in front of all the races. Otherwise, even if the Victorious Fighting Buddha were still alive, I would still take action!"

In front of all races, the Ancestor Queen showed no mercy to the Holy Prince and attempted to break his Dao Heart.

If the Holy Prince were to publicly apologize, his imperial heart would be destroyed, and he would become just an ordinary prince with no chance of attaining enlightenment.

This approach is even more ruthless than killing the Holy Prince directly.

The Queen Mother did not stop, and continued to look at Ye Fan and Xia Mingxiao, saying, "As for you, kneel down and repent, and then see if the Heavenly Emperor will spare your lives."

The cold words echoed in the Pure Land, so domineering, displaying the full might of the Ancestral King, showing no regard for anyone present.

In the distance, the Heavenly Emperor's son stood with the other ancient beings, sneering as he looked at the scene.

A few days ago, he was slapped in the face repeatedly, losing face in Zishan. Now he can finally vent his anger.

This appearance gives people a petty or stingy feeling.

Li Yao, who witnessed this scene in secret, shook his head, thinking that the Crown Prince was truly useless, possessing unparalleled talent but lacking the ambition to match it.

Between him and the Holy Prince, there had been conflicts between their fathers, and by his time, they were enemies from two lifetimes. They were also vying for the throne, with all their buffs stacked up. In the end, when the monkey attacked, he retreated again and again.

With that kind of mentality, what great things can he accomplish?
And those descendants of the Eight Divine Generals are also a bunch of burdens, constantly making excuses for the Emperor's failures and letting the Emperor live in fantasy.

When the emperor's son is in trouble, they always just comfort him, saying things like, "Your Highness, you are exceptionally talented. It's just that you haven't been born long enough. Once your cultivation level improves, you will be invincible."

Well... that's not entirely wrong, since objectively speaking, the Heavenly Prince was indeed born later than the Holy Prince.

But you can't use that as an excuse. You have to accept your failures and turn them into a belief to catch up. Only then can you overcome them. If you keep running away, it's no wonder you can't grow.

The Celestial Phoenix Bloodline is a unique talent in the universe. Even the Chaos Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo can only be on par with it and cannot be suppressed.

But one must also have the corresponding temperament, otherwise one is just a pretty face with no substance.

It's fine if things go smoothly all the time, with the bloodline of the Immortal Phoenix as a safety net. I wouldn't dare say I'll achieve anything too great, but reaching the pinnacle of the human realm is quite easy.

Unfortunately, this era is a golden age that is rare in all of history, and there is no way that things will go smoothly. The Emperor's son has such a temperament, and he is destined to become a whetstone.

On the other hand, the Holy Prince is significantly different from the Heavenly Prince. He may be slightly weaker in terms of talent, but in terms of temperament, he is simply superior.

"boom!"

The Holy Prince slammed the black iron rod in his hand onto the ground, his fiery eyes gleaming with divine light. He fought against heaven and earth, and even in the face of the might of the Ancestral King, he did not back down in the slightest.

"You've miscalculated if you think you can break my heart. If you really have no scruples, then kill me. In that case, everything left behind by the Undying Emperor will be completely destroyed, and nothing will be left."

Although the monkey was warlike, it was by no means stupid. Knowing that its identity could not intimidate the other party, it brought out its uncle.

The Fighting Saint King avoided his brother's era, and now no one can predict his terror. Even though he has become a Buddha, if his nephew is killed, he will definitely transform into an Asura.

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. Given the temperament of the Fighting Saint Ape lineage, if it really came to that, there would be rivers of blood, and hundreds of millions of corpses would lie in the Eastern Wilderness!

After all, this lineage was known for being fearless. When the Fighting Saint Emperor reigned supreme, the Undying Emperor's faith remained strong, but he acted without restraint, overturning the Emperor's dojo and causing the Emperor's faith to be challenged for the first time.

It's fair to say that without the emergence of the Fighting Saint Emperor, the faith of all races in the Undying Emperor would likely be even more extreme. The Emperor's son could have commanded the entire races with a single call, instead of the current situation where only a few die-hard loyalists would serve him.

The monkey invoked his uncle's name, which could be considered as seeking external help, but when faced with the threat of an ancestral king, he not only did not compromise but remained neither humble nor arrogant, a stark contrast to the emperor's son.

It should be understood that no matter how strong the Victorious Fighting Buddha is, he is far away in the Western Desert. Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. It would be best if he could be intimidated, but if he cannot be intimidated, the monkey is not afraid of death!

Li Yao could tell that the monkey wasn't just all bark and no bite; he genuinely possessed a deep-seated arrogance.

The unyielding spirit of "I'd rather die than submit!"
Compared to the Emperor's son who stood by and watched his servant being forced to death a few days ago, he was far better!
When you're out in the world, your servants represent your reputation. To allow a servant to be driven to death after weighing the pros and cons is, in a sense, allowing others to slap you in the face.

The underlying logic is that the mindset is flawed; there's no domineering, self-centered attitude.

The atmosphere in the room became tense. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, Xia Mingxiao took a few more steps back, almost backing into the crowd.

He sensed something was wrong. After hearing the Holy Prince's warning, the woman not only showed no fear, but her murderous intent intensified!

Crazy woman!
He cursed inwardly, but his actions didn't stop at all.

Li Yao was speechless, he was so focused on the Emperor's son that he didn't notice his own ugly face.

Why are you such a coward? Why don't you dare to fight the Queen Mother?

You might not know where the Victorious Fighting Buddha is hiding, but I'm right here in the Jade Pool. I can really make things difficult for you.
It’s smaller, the layout is smaller!

"boom!"

Just then, the Queen Mother moved, extending a slender hand and pressing it forward.

Even if one is unwilling to admit it, the characteristics displayed by the Holy Prince at this moment are extremely frightening. If left unchecked, he will definitely become a great enemy of the Heavenly Prince in the future!
The chilling killing intent was like a vast ocean, and everyone was terrified as the holy might swept across the ten directions.

Inside the Pure Land, more than half of the people trembled and immediately knelt down, unable to withstand such pressure.

This is the might of the ancestral king, which is irresistible!

“Plop!”, “Plop!”, “Plop!”…

A large number of creatures of all races knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling like leaves, prostrating themselves in extreme terror!
At this moment, the Ancestor Queen was no different from a god to them; they could only worship her, and few could stand under such power.

"Peng!"

The monkey's large club flew out of its hand, its tiger's mouth split open, holy blood flowed out, its golden fur stood on end, and its indestructible body cracked and creaked, unable to bear the weight.

If we were to categorize the lineage of the Fighting Saint Ape by physique, they would be comparable to those with a Saint Body, but the monkey is even more extraordinary, as it possesses the bloodline of a Saint Emperor flowing through its veins.

But in front of the sage, he was far from enough. The Queen Mother's hand hadn't even touched him yet, but his aura alone was enough to overwhelm him!
The Holy Prince, who had already achieved the third level of immortality and severed his path, was now in a terrible state, looking like an ant!
The current situation truly reflects the saying, "Under the sage, all are ants!"
"Let me teach you a lesson. No matter how strong your uncle is, he's far away in the Western Desert. You won't know what will happen until you're alive." The Queen Mother's cold words rang out, and her palm continued to press forward.

When his friend was in danger, Ye Fan could not stand idly by. His sacred body radiated divine light, absorbing the essence of the ten directions. His terrifying golden blood energy surged, and with a single punch, anything that blocked it was shattered!
This body was left behind by a saint-level holy body. Now that his primordial spirit has taken over, even without the corresponding holy laws, the power of the body alone is enough to shake the world!
This punch dominated heaven and earth; wherever the fist light reached, the sacred laws shattered, and golden blood energy swept towards the Ancestor Queen.

The terrifying power of the Holy Body was fully revealed at this moment; even its physical form alone was enough to make it a force to be reckoned with in the same realm.

Unfortunately, this punch only contained pure power, without any sacred laws. Furthermore, the primordial spirit that took over was only a second-level immortal cultivator, unable to fully unleash the power of the physical body.

Even so, the Queen Mother was injured. One of her jade-like hands twisted. If she hadn't neutralized the force in time and moved aside, she would have suffered a great loss!
At that moment, the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone was utterly shocked, especially the human cultivators.

Who is this person who actually blocked a patriarch king? When did the human race produce such a sage?!

"What a powerful physique. It seems that the human race is not entirely useless, as there is actually someone like you."

A voice broke the silence. Outside the Jade Pool, two middle-aged men walked side by side, handsome and majestic, wearing white armor. They walked to the side of the Ancestor Queen and faced the Holy Shell that Ye Fan had taken over!

The atmosphere within the Pure Land became even more oppressive, with all the human cultivators filled with unease. One Ancestral King was already causing such a commotion, and now two more Ancestral Kings had appeared!
Even the ancient tribes are not at peace. There are many ancestral kings among the myriad tribes, but they are not as common as cabbages. The ancestral kings behind the Heavenly Emperor's son are all descendants of the Eight Divine Generals. Although they cannot compare with their ancestors, they should not be underestimated.

"Esteemed seniors, this conference has long stipulated that we must not provoke conflict or resort to violence within the Jade Pool," the Queen Mother of the West stepped forward, preventing the fight from escalating further.

Her voice was gentle and not aggressive, but it possessed an undeniable power. Even with the Ancestral King in front of her, she showed no fear, which reassured the anxious human cultivators.

As the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, strands of emerald light descended, originating from a tower forged from emerald tears and emerald gold.

The pagoda, seemingly real yet illusory, exuded an immense, celestial power, so heavy that it made those present feel suffocated.

Seeing this, the people from Shencan Ridge also stepped forward and said, "We hope that you seniors will calm down. After all, he is the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor. Even if he has done something wrong, please forgive him and do not harm his life."

The Divine Silkworm Ridge and the Fighting Holy Ape have been on good terms for generations, and it would be impossible for them to stand by and watch the monkey be bullied.

With one person taking the lead, the other members of the major clans also stood up to echo him, fearing that if the three ancestral kings acted together, it would lead to an eternal catastrophe.

"It's simple to calm down. Just do as I say, he apologizes to the Heavenly Emperor's son and then kneels before the Immortal Emperor's divine throne, and I will spare his life." The Ancestor Queen's jade hand was restored to its original state, and she stared coldly at the Holy Emperor's son.

"You are utterly reckless! Before the Grand Gathering of All Races, all races reached a consensus that no fighting would take place in Yaochi. You are blatantly violating this rule, disregarding the agreement of all races?" Ye Fan shouted.

“Exactly, exactly. This is the Jade Pool. Aren’t you afraid that the Western Emperor Tower will unleash its world-destroying power here by running wild?” Duan De spoke up from the crowd.

"If you won't take action at Yaochi, then let's settle this outside." The Ancestor Queen clearly didn't intend to end things this way, and she reached out with one hand, grabbing forward.
