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

Chapter 275 Five-Colored Chicks (Bonus Chapter for 1000 Monthly Tickets in June)

Xia Mingxiao's pupils contracted; he was also within the area of ​​influence, subdued by the aura of the sage.

At this moment, he had no choice but to retreat. Whether he faced the danger or retreated, he would still be stabbed; there was no way to avoid it.

A massive black-gold cauldron rose up, stood atop the head, and cast down a halo of light, its holy might permeating the air, blocking the grasping hand of the Ancestor Queen.

Although Xia Mingxiao was cunning, he was not lacking in the will to defeat his enemies. He only acted cunningly because the path he followed was unacceptable to the world.

In the original novel, he took the initiative to fight Ye Fan in order to break the shackles of the ruthless man, which shows his bravery.

It should be noted that at that time, Ye Fan had achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body, had killed a Supreme Being, and stood above the Great Emperors of his time. His combat power was unparalleled throughout history.

If Xia Mingxiao were truly a coward, he wouldn't have sought out Ye Fan for a fight. His initial cowardice was solely to achieve his own goals!

So, if he were truly facing a life-or-death battle, why would he fear death?
The monkey was also enraged, and raised its black iron cudgel again, smashing it down and slashing forward.

The iron rod is broken and pitted, but its ferocity is boundless. In terms of hardness, it is even stronger than the sacred weapon.

"It is rare for a sage to appear among the human race. I advise you not to act rashly, lest you lose your life."

Ye Fan raised his fist to strike, and the two Ancestral Kings wearing silver armor stepped forward, unleashing a divine law to block his path.

The holy power was boundless, breaking through several layers of light barriers and shattering countless laws, but it ultimately had its limits, and the fist light was blocked by the divine laws of the Great Dao.

Ye Fan frowned. He knew very well that although the Holy Shell was powerful, it was just an imposter. If it really faced the two Ancestral Kings, it would definitely die, and at most it could only hold out for a short while.

He does have some trump cards up his sleeve, but it's not appropriate to use them now; he's saving them for the most crucial moment.

Only by catching someone off guard can that trump card unleash its full power; if it is used at that moment, it loses its mystery and its power is halved.

In that brief moment of hesitation, the outcome was already decided. Both the monkey and Xia Mingxiao were captured by the Queen Mother.

“You lowly monkey, your father was utterly wicked, destroying the only sacred site left by the gods. And now you dare to blaspheme against the gods. If we don’t tear you apart and skin you alive today, we will not be able to cleanse you of your sins.”

The Ancestor Queen was an absolute supporter of the Undying Emperor. Back then, when the Fighting Saint Emperor reigned supreme over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even though the other party destroyed the Undying Emperor's dojo, they could only endure it.

But that anger wouldn't fade with time, and now he was ready to vent all his fury on the monkey.

Clearly, she harbored a deep grudge against the Holy Prince, which is why she acted so madly. Ordinary Ancestral Kings would not dare to risk angering the Victorious Fighting Buddha by attacking the Holy Prince.

After speaking of the Holy Prince, she turned her gaze to Xia Mingxiao on the other side: "And you, a mere human, how dare you disrespect the Son of God? Today I will kill you."

At this moment, no race dared to utter a sound, not even the Divine Silkworm Ridge. The power brought by the three Ancestral Kings was truly terrifying.

The people of Yao Guang's expression changed drastically. One of the powerful figures reluctantly left the place and headed towards the camp, intending to ask the Holy Lord to subdue this demon!

The monkey and Xia Mingxiao struggled incessantly, but their strength had its limits. Even if they pushed their cultivation to the extreme, they could not break free and could only be carried by the Ancestor Queen and flown out of Yaochi.

The two prodigies at the level of Emperor Princes were utterly powerless against a Saint who was not particularly outstanding. The barrier of the Saint Realm was like a chasm, leaving them in despair.

Ye Fan knew he couldn't delay any longer, or the monkey would be in real danger. So he prepared to activate the Devouring Demon Jar within his body to neutralize the Dao principles unleashed by the Ancestral King and rescue the monkey.

Suddenly, he stopped, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled back into his stomach, and all his worries vanished.

At the edge of the Pure Land, a figure in green appeared, landing in front of the Ancestor Queen and blocking her path to leave the Pure Land.

There was no powerful flow of energy; he was in harmony with heaven and earth, exuding an inexplicable rhythm.

The young man was tall and slender, his entire body shrouded in divine light, even his hair was crystal clear, and he gazed calmly ahead.

His eyes were deep, like a vast and boundless galaxy, containing the wonders of the universe's destruction and rebirth, infinitely fascinating and captivating.

"Holy Lord!" Inside the Pure Land, the people of Yaoguang were overjoyed.

It's all settled, it's all settled. With the Holy Lord's intervention, this female beast can no longer run rampant. If she knows what's good for her, all will be fine; if not, they'll all be suppressed and carried back to the Stone Holy Land to guard the gate!

The others also changed their expressions drastically. Even the royal families among the myriad races were slightly shocked, and their contempt for the human race disappeared considerably.

It wasn't that they were cowards, but this fierce man was quite capable. Since his debut, he had killed many Ancestral Kings, so they were still a little afraid.

On the human side, many sect leaders felt an inexplicable excitement, a surge of passion rushing to their heads.

The current grand gathering of all races is a negotiation between the human race and all other races. Anyone with a modicum of vision would set aside past prejudices and focus on dealing with all the races at this time.

The appearance of the Holy Lord of Yaoguang was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, shining on everyone, dispelling the darkness before their eyes, and eliminating the fear in their hearts.

It's hard not to be respectful...

The two Ancestral Kings, clad in silver battle armor, changed their expressions slightly. They abandoned Ye Fan and instantly appeared beside the Female Ancestral King, facing the figure before them together.

“Your Excellency, this is a grand gathering of all races. At this time, you would be best not to act rashly,” one of the Ancestral Kings said in a deep voice.

Although they held humans in some contempt, they dared not easily offend the people before them.

In ancient times, countless races coexisted, and constant warfare caused rivers of blood to flow across the wild land. No one can say for sure how many races were wiped out.

This is why beings in the ancient times all respected the strong.

This can be seen from the fact that all living beings of all races kneel down and pay homage to their ancestral king, princes, and princesses at the drop of a hat.

Many people believe in the Immortal Emperor, but very few dare to openly criticize him like the Ancestor Queen.

It's a contradiction, but that's the law of survival for all races. Humans are weak, so they look down on them, but they don't look down on the strong among humans.

Li Yao is undoubtedly a strongman. Since his debut, he has killed several Ancestral Kings, and his powerful combat strength is beyond doubt.

"I can't make a move, so you can make a move at will?" Finally, a clear voice rang out, not cold, but inexplicably sending chills down one's spine.

"This disciple of Yaoguang has offended the Son of God, a grave offense of disrespect..." The clear voice of the Ancestor Queen abruptly stopped, her pupils, which had been filled with anger, suddenly contracted and turned tinged with fear.

……

So fast!

The two Ancestral Kings, clad in silver battle armor, shuddered. A chill ran down their spines, cold sweat trickled down their foreheads, and fear rose in their hearts.

At the edge of the Pure Land, the figure in green disappeared, replaced by a pure white hand on the delicate neck of the Ancestor Queen.

The hand wasn't huge, but the fingers were long and slender, almost completely covering the fair neck.

Only then did everyone realize what had just happened, and a sense of horror rose in their hearts.

Looking at the hand on the neck of the female ancestor, people had no doubt that Li Yao could kill her with just a little force.

It was too fast. The Ancestral King, who was high above them and unapproachable, was now like an ant in Li Yao's hand. Taking his life would be no more difficult than killing an ant.

Within this pure land, the spiritual spring gurgles, and immortal herbs abound. It is a pure land, so quiet that not a single person utters a sound.

"Please wait, Your Excellency. The Grand Gathering of All Races is about to begin. If you make a move now, it will undoubtedly send a bad signal and worsen the attitude of all races towards the human race." The Ancestral King, dressed in silver battle armor, hurriedly spoke up to dissuade Li Yao, fearing that he would really strangle the Ancestral Queen.

The human cultivators were thrilled; all the humiliation they had suffered during this period vanished at this moment.

An ancestral king was thus suppressed, his life taken at will, and he was no longer as powerful as before.

"Your Excellency, we will let this Yao Guang disciple go, and you should not act rashly," another Ancestral King advised.

Li Yao remained completely calm, staring at the female ancestor king in his hand, and said, "Just now I heard that you wanted to make him kneel down and beg for mercy from the Heavenly Emperor's son, and then see how the Heavenly Emperor's son felt before you dealt with him. I'd like to know, what makes you so arrogant as to dare to say you'll deal with my Yao Guang disciple?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced the room. Everyone held their breath and watched quietly.

“He offended the Son of God, which is an insult to the Emperor, and he deserves to be punished,” said the Ancestor Queen, though her tone was very weak, clearly a forced composure.

"Offending the Son of God and insulting the Emperor, so what? My human race doesn't believe in that five-colored chick. What right do you have to dare to lay a hand on my Yao Guang disciple?" Li Yao said calmly.

Like a stone thrown into still water, the once tranquil haven was suddenly filled with gasps of shock.

The Immortal Emperor is the supreme deity revered by all races, with numerous believers. Although he is no longer as powerful as he was in ancient times, many races still worship him.

Upon hearing Li Yao's blasphemous words, many powerful clans reacted instantly, wanting to jump out and condemn him.

But when he saw the female ancestor queen being strangled, he silently suppressed these feelings.

The strongest ancient beings in the Pure Land today are only those who have severed the Dao, so how could they dare to jump out and criticize Li Yao?

Faith is one thing, but if it requires sacrificing one's life for it, then the price is far too high.

The Emperor's son was struck as if by lightning; the nine divine rings behind his head nearly collapsed, and his body swayed.

After recovering, his face turned ashen, his eyes turned extremely sinister, and his fingertips pierced into his flesh, five-colored divine blood seeping from between his fingers and dripping onto the white jade ground.

As the son of the Immortal Emperor, the person he reveres most is his own father, who is also his supreme deity...

……

A surge of murderous intent welled up in his heart, and bloodshot veins instantly filled his eyes. The hysterical rage almost drove him mad, and he wished he could tear Li Yao, who had uttered blasphemous words, to pieces.

But he endured it. No matter what, he had to stay alive before he could plan for the future!

With his bloodline, given time, one day he will reign supreme over the heavens and the earth, and surpassing this blasphemer is only a matter of time.

At that time, he will settle their scores and make them pay for what they said today.

Hmm... The Emperor Prince held back again and thought of words to comfort himself.

It's not that it is not reported, the time has not come.

Settling scores should be done on a case-by-case basis, not blindly. Instead, it should be precise and efficient, aided by innovative thinking, while also taking into account special circumstances for flexible resolution.

Compared to the Emperor's son's agility, the Ancestor Queen's reaction was greater, and her faith in the Immortal Emperor was deeper.

"You...you blasphemer, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?!"

The originally gentle female ancestor was enraged. Even with her neck being choked, she could not stop the anger in her heart from rising. Her fingers tightened, and her spirit surged.

She still held Xia Mingxiao and the monkey in her grasp. Both were enveloped by divine laws, and now the Ancestor Queen was clearly intent on killing them.

Clearly, the Queen Mother knew she was no match for Li Yao, but even in death, she would not allow anyone to desecrate the deity in her heart.

Since we can't kill Li Yao, then we'll kill his disciples.

After the brief clash, she was well aware of Xia Mingxiao's strength, which was no weaker than that of the ancient emperor's son.

Such an unparalleled genius has unlimited potential; if he were to die, it would be a devastating blow to the Yao Guang Holy Land.

She wanted to use this method to make Li Yao feel sorry for her and pay the price, while taking away two great enemies for the Son of God!
"Crack!"

But compared to her speed, Li Yao was obviously faster. The sharp metal energy rose between his fingers that were gripping her slender neck, and the immortal light radiated. As he crushed her fair neck, her primordial spirit was also dispersed by the killing intent.

The Ancestral King possessed formidable vitality, but it was utterly powerless against the White Tiger Claw.

Whether it was the source of life that they were so proud of, or the primordial spirit that was surrounded by immortal light, both were instantly shattered.

The scene was completely silent; people almost stopped breathing. This was an ancient ancestral king, a being who could command a royal family, and he was killed just like that—it was simply too domineering!
