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

Chapter 280 The Fall of Ancestral King Teng Qing

King Teng Qing coughed up blood, and the Sendai was on the verge of collapse. He looked at Li Yao with grief and anger.

That simple sentence was a blow to him more than any mockery!

All living beings were astonished, almost stunned, until after a moment of silence, someone asked, "What does the Forbidden Domain that Ancestral King Teng Qing mentioned mean?"

This is a small race of beings who only know about the Eight Forbidden Domains and the Eternal Divine Forbidden Domains. As for the Forbidden Domain, they have never even heard of it.

Not only him, but many people present were unaware of the forbidden realm, because they were destined never to come into contact with this realm in their lives, and naturally they would not learn about it in their daily lives.

Even Ye Fan and many others were hearing about this field for the first time.

But now, with the grand gathering of all races, numerous powerful clans, and the arrival of all the supreme forces, there must be some learned cultivators who know of the existence of this realm.

"The Forbidden Domain is a terrifying domain. Throughout history, all those who have reached this domain have been exceptionally talented and have shaken ancient history!" This was an old relic of the Ji family, very old, who specialized in ancient history and knew many secrets.

"Why is it so terrifying? Is the Forbidden Domain a domain that was forbidden by the gods?" someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

“The ancient emperors resided in the Divine Forbidden Zone; how could there be any domains above that?” someone retorted instinctively.

Many people present may not know about forbidden areas, but the concept of divine forbidden areas has long been popular in the world today.

Everyone present knew the power of the Divine Forbidden Domain, a domain where ancient emperors resided. There could not possibly be a higher domain above it, otherwise the ancient emperors would not have resided solely in the Divine Forbidden Domain.

“Indeed, the Divine Forbidden Domain is already the highest level, allowing cultivators to break through all shackles, with their combat power increasing infinitely, almost to the point of godhood. Above it, there is no higher domain,” said the ancient relic of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I hope you can give me some guidance, senior." Beside him, a highly skilled master bowed and asked for advice.

The ancient figure from the Great Xia Dynasty waved his hand and said, "You may not know what the so-called forbidden domain is, but doesn't it feel familiar? For example, where does the imperial dragon energy of my clan come from?"

"The Imperial Dragon Qi is a forbidden chapter of the Supreme Emperor Scripture..." The great sect expert paused, then exclaimed in disbelief, "This is the forbidden domain?!"

The ancient figure from the Great Xia Dynasty nodded and sighed, "Actually, I don't know the specifics either. There are very few descriptions of that level. Ancient history only mentions that after the founding ancestor created the Imperial Dragon Qi, he stepped into the forbidden realm."

"I understand. The so-called forbidden realm is about creating your own scriptures, forging your own path, and experiencing that divine feeling. Is that what the forbidden realm is?"

His words shocked the entire audience!
Some powerful figures from extreme forces nodded in agreement. Their clans had records of this matter to varying degrees. Similar to the Great Xia royal family, their ancestors had entered the forbidden realm after creating the forbidden chapters of the law.

"Has the Lord of Yao Guang already rivaled the ancient emperors? Or is he not far from becoming an emperor?"

"After the forbidden realm, comes the forbidden realm. The Lord of Yao Guang is destined to dominate the rise and fall of this world."

"There is too little time. If all races had emerged a hundred years later, they would probably have had to bow down to the Lord of Yao Guang, instead of being so disrespectful as they are now."

Various voices rose and fell, all coming from human cultivators, all of whom were very excited.

Normally, they might be amazed, but they would never be so excited. However, in this situation, the Lord of Yao Guang represents the entire human race. The stronger he is, the stronger the human race will be. This is inseparable.

The Great Emperors, at the pinnacle of humanity, reign supreme over the universe and overlook all living beings. The ancient scriptures they created are terrifying, especially the forbidden chapters, whose ultimate techniques are unpredictable and unparalleled in the world!
The divine technique on the last page of the Emperor's Scripture is the embodiment of the Emperor's ultimate combat power. Few people dare to peek at it, and almost all who have seen it have died. No one can escape the Emperor's forbidden technique.

Such divine arts contain the Dao of a great emperor, whose own Dao is the embodiment of invincibility. Such power is a forbidden existence.

Extreme forces possess the imperial scriptures, and although they can also use forbidden divine techniques of the Great Emperor, this is merely learning, not their own path, so naturally they cannot establish themselves in the forbidden realm.

Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will die!

This is a warning from all the great emperors to their descendants: you can learn from their ways, but don't blindly follow them, or you will only go astray and be unable to escape your own forbidden territory.

The fact that the Lord of Yaoguang has entered this realm and is looking up to countless ancient emperors and great emperors represents a great trend.

Even though he is still far from becoming a Great Emperor, people will have the illusion that with the Divine Forbidden Domain already in place, and now stepping into the Forbidden Domain, wouldn't he become a Great Emperor if he just followed the path step by step?!
This is a general trend, and it will also bring about this kind of mentality in people.

Panic has completely engulfed all races, as the Lord of Yao Guang has actually stepped into his own forbidden domain!

If they are enemies of such a being, how will they have the power to resist if the other party settles its scores in the future?
In an instant, it was clear that the fighting spirit of all races was diminishing, and hesitation flashed in their eyes as they pondered whether to change their strategy and not be too domineering.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor's son became restless. He wanted to use the power of all races to suppress the human race, and ideally break the invincible path of the Lord of Yao Guang. If the other races did not want to continue, how could he do all this by himself?

"The forbidden realm is not the same as the Great Emperor. The ancestors of various royal families also created their own scriptures and entered the forbidden realm. What does that prove?"

He explained urgently, trying to dispel the fear in the hearts of all living beings.

This was useful; some creatures came to their senses and gradually came to their senses.

Yes, the ancestors of each royal family created their own laws, which can be considered forbidden domains, but they are still far from the realm of the emperor.

They were simply misled, equating the forbidden domain of the Lord of Yao Guang with the forbidden domains of the various ancient emperors, which is why they couldn't help but have those kinds of emotions.

In fact, after creating scriptures and forging one's own path, one must continue to improve them. Only when this step is taken to its extreme can one reach the realm of an emperor. There are still many difficulties in between, and it is not something that can be accomplished simply by following the established procedures.

The current forbidden technique of the Lord of Yao Guang is far from comparable to the technique of the ancient emperor. The gap is still huge. It is only because this is his own technique and the most suitable path for him that it has been able to exert such great power and severely injure the Ancestral King Teng Qing in one blow.

In other words, the Lord of Yao Guang has at most embarked on the true path to becoming an emperor, possessing the entry ticket to potentially rival the ancient emperors in the future. However, how far he can go is fraught with uncertainty.

Some races recovered and suppressed their fears, realizing that the future was the future and they shouldn't let it interfere with the present.

The Lord of Yao Guang has indeed displayed the qualities of an ancient emperor, but how far he can go remains to be seen. Will the powerful figures among the myriad races allow the Lord of Yao Guang to reach that level?

Will the royal families of Blood Phoenix Mountain and the Golden Clan, for the sake of their own princes and princesses, take action to sever the path to the throne of the Lord of Yao Guang?
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to waste the present opportunity out of concern for the future achievements of the Lord of Yao Guang.

"Furthermore, the Lord of Yao Guang has not yet entered the forbidden realm; he has only found it, but has not yet stepped into it." The Heavenly Emperor's son was overjoyed and continued to incite the humanoid heart.

Even so, a small number of races were determined to engage in heartfelt conversations with humans at the upcoming grand event, treating them as equals.

They chose to play it safe and didn't want to gamble. In any case, given the current size of the myriad races, their situation wouldn't be too bad, and they could guarantee the future of their races.

Gamblers might win, but they usually lose nine out of ten times, and even dying a peaceful death is difficult.

Various thoughts swirled within me, but in reality, it all happened in an instant.

But in that short time, the situation changed dramatically. Those who wanted to continue causing trouble became completely determined and would not change their minds no matter what, while some who were hesitant went down a completely different path.

Li Yao was unaware of all this. He slowly walked towards Teng Qingzu Wang, his demeanor unusually relaxed.

This is a change brought about by strength; he has developed an invincible mindset, and even his temperament has completely changed.

Compared to before his battle with Teng Qingzu, his strength has increased by at least several times.

His understanding of imperial techniques remained unchanged, but his application of them had improved significantly, and he even had some ideas about his forbidden techniques.

All of this translates into strength, and even the Ancestral King Teng Qing is no match for him, not even in his prime, let alone now.

King Teng Qing also knew this. When he saw Li Yao approaching, he pretended to be tough and said, "Now that you've passed my test, go to Yaochi."

Li Yao was taken aback, looking at him as if he were a fool, and sneered, "If you had this attitude just now, I might have personally welcomed you into Yaochi for a talk. Now, it's too late."

The atmosphere suddenly froze. Everyone in the Pure Land had breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Teng Qingzu Wang back down, but as Li Yao spoke, everyone's heart jumped into their throat again.

Is this a sign that they're not going to let it go?
Teng Qingzu Wang's expression hardened, and he coldly shouted, "What do you intend to do? Kill me?"

“Why not? We’ll treat our guests to good wine, but our enemies will naturally receive different treatment,” Li Yao said.

If Teng Qingzu Wang had come with a friendly attitude, he would naturally welcome him and even treat him with courtesy, considering it a case of "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones." But the other party attacked as soon as he arrived, as if he was certain that even if he lost, nothing would happen.

This kind of thinking actually stems from the deep-seated belief that the human race is no match for all other races and that they dare not truly wage war against them, which is why they are so fearless.

This is not what Li Yao wanted. When sitting down to discuss the situation of the world, both sides should be evenly matched, not one side acting superior.

Since we don't want this situation, the only option is to fight!
Strength is the true backing of diplomacy, and dignity lies only in the edge of the sword!

Only when all races truly acknowledge the strength of the human race can we sit down and negotiate, and only then will both sides be on equal footing.

Otherwise, even if there is a forced peace today, all races will still not take the human race seriously and will continue to act as they always have.

They don't take the so-called alliances seriously. Just like in the original work, it says there are no saints in the world, but have all races abided by them?
At the drop of a hat, ancestral kings would roam the world and attack Ye Fan, trampling the alliance underfoot.

Is that an insult to the Holy Body? Bullshit! That's trampling on the face of the entire human race. People don't take the so-called covenant to heart at all.

After this grand gathering of all races, Li Yao will leave the Big Dipper Star Region and truly embark on his journey into the vast universe. He will definitely not return for some time.

Before leaving, he wanted to finish everything, to create a relatively peaceful situation for the human race, and to make the world free of saints a reality.

King Teng Qing panicked. He sensed the chilling killing intent and shouted, "If you continue to attack, the situation between the two sides will completely deteriorate. Aren't you afraid that all races will go to war?"

"Your death will be my answer," Li Yao said coldly, raising his fist to strike.

He was like a dragon soaring, his chaotic energy surging, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, charging forward with boundless divine power, attacking fiercely, killing gods and Buddhas alike!
"Roar!"

The unparalleled fist light rose, and the vast dragon energy surged, like a true dragon roaring across the heavens and earth.

This was an invincible punch, its power surpassing everyone's imagination. No one remained unmoved; they were all stunned by this invincible punch, their hearts tingling, feeling as if they were looking up at a giant dragon in the sky.

“You…” Teng Qingzu Wang was shocked and tried his best to fight back.

Then, the chaotic energy surged, and the divine might of the true dragon was invincible in the world. It broke through all the divine laws and blasted over. A fist occupied all vision, magnified infinitely, and overturned the heavens!

"puff"

Teng Qingzu Wang cried out and tried his best to resist, but he was no match for him. His body was cracking and blue blood was splattering. He was in despair because he could not withstand this punch and was blown to pieces in the void.

The bronze battle armor exuded holy might, and the legendary holy weapon unleashed its full power, but it was useless and still could not provide protection. The terrifying fist force penetrated the battle armor and blasted away Teng Qingzu Wang!

This is the True Dragon Fist, domineering and unstoppable. Anything that stands in its way, no matter what it is, will be shattered!
Especially with the addition of the Dragon Tail Swing, the combined power of the two elements elevates the True Dragon Fist to a new level.

With the force of a single punch, Teng Qingzu Wang turned into ashes and vanished, his primordial spirit instantly obliterated.
