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

Chapter 290 Leave no one alive, kill them all.
"If you don't want this star to be affected, come to the outer realms." A voice echoed in his mind, causing the ancient saint of the Brahma Clan to be slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that the other party would not want to involve innocent people and would take the initiative to invite him to fight in the outer realm!
Heaven is a sacred place for the Brahma people, and it has been cultivated over a long period of time to reach its present state. If it were to be destroyed, it would be an absolutely unbearable loss for the Brahma people.

Therefore, Fan Yuntong gladly accepted the mysterious man's invitation.

The boundless universe, the brilliant Milky Way, the vast expanse, two figures stand in the universe, and everywhere else is emptiness and nothingness!

Although Fan Yuntong had just emerged from seclusion, he had already understood everything in a short time.

As a technology-driven cultivation method, the internet is indispensable, and the mecha is connected to the network terminal.

Therefore, Fan Yuntong knew all the causes and consequences with just a glance.

The robbery attempt failed, and the perpetrator was killed instead.

Such things are all too common for the Brahma people who do this kind of work. It's impossible to succeed every time, and when they fail, they will be utterly defeated.

This time, unlike in the past, the enemy's strength is far too great, extraordinary indeed.

In the past, enemies would at most chase you to the outskirts of Paradise before giving up; they could never chase you into Paradise.

This time, the enemy is incredibly powerful, an ancient saint, and should not be underestimated.

Of course, they were not afraid. The Brahma Clan had a profound foundation, and with the Saint King's mecha, a native saint could be captured with ease.

In the desolate sea of ​​stars, a mecha stands in the void. It is not very tall, only about half a zhang high. It is golden all over and covered with Dao patterns, which are extremely profound and exude the majesty of a Saint King.

"Since you haven't implicated any innocent people, I'll spare your life if you voluntarily retreat." Fan Yuntong's holy power surged, and he personally activated his mecha.

"Spare me?" Li Yao was somewhat surprised, then chuckled, "What, don't you want to discover the life star behind me?"

"You seem very confident, but I wonder if you really have something to rely on, or if you're just arrogant and ignorant."

Fan Yuntong did not try to persuade him further. Instead, he drew a purple-gold battle sword, which was engraved with many powerful runes. It was a product of the combination of technology and cultivation.

As the might of the Saint King rose, Fan Yuntong decided to capture this person first and then extract the coordinates of the ancient star.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "The Secret of the Soldier has such power that it can control a mecha at the Saint King level!"

The purple-gold mecha patterns dimmed, the blazing divine light disappeared, and the aura of the Saint King dissipated. Although it revived a moment later, it was indeed greatly disturbed.

Fan Yuntong was somewhat unsettled; his initial confidence had turned into anxiety.

He knew that the other party possessed the secret of military strategy, but even the most powerful divine art must have its limits.

The Saint Realm's use of the "Soldier" Secret Technique should not be able to affect a Saint King-level super mecha!

It should be noted that although this mecha has not reached the level of a Great Sage, it is only a hair's breadth away from it. It is a super mecha among the Saint King level, with extremely strong power.

In particular, at this moment, he activated his own holy power, fully reviving the divine power of the mecha, and the deity was fully awakened.

Even so, the mecha was still interfered with and crashed for a moment. Although it restarted quickly, for a Saint Realm expert, that short period of time was enough for them to exchange more than a hundred rounds of combat.

"Your prized mecha is nothing more than a metal shell to me, utterly useless," Li Yao stated calmly.

"What do you intend to do?" Fan Yuntong asked solemnly.

The other party did not make a move, but only unleashed the "Soldier's Secret Technique" to intimidate him, which must have been for a purpose.

Otherwise, we can't just let him experience the power of the Nine Secrets, can we?
"Submit to me and serve me," Li Yao declared, launching a direct attack on the heart of the enemy.

Originally, he planned to keep a low profile, but the "Soldier's Secret" technique proved unexpectedly useful, so the plan had to be adjusted slightly.

For example, one could take over a powerful clan, hide behind the scenes, and have that clan refine the strongest evolution fluid for him.

This approach allows for quick material gathering without attracting too much attention, achieving two goals at once.

The idea was good, but Fan Yuntong didn't give him any face and rejected it outright without even the slightest hesitation.

As the ruler of a region, high above others, how could he so easily submit to being subordinate to someone else?

"It seems we still have to fight."

Li Yao was not surprised that Fan Yuntong refused; it was within his expectations.

To subdue a Saint King-level warrior, one obviously cannot rely on words; one must demonstrate absolute power.

Fortunately, this was a field he was familiar with, so he was able to do it with ease.

"boom!"

The domineering fist struck out, its power soaring to the heavens, its chaotic energy surging and transforming into a raging storm.

A fist, carrying chaotic energy, became the only one in the world. Its unparalleled power swept across the sky, filling the entire firmament.

Without the secret technique of the soldier, to truly subdue Fan Yuntong, one must defeat the strongest among them.

Only in this way can he understand how vast the gap is between them.

If the secret of the military were used, even if Fan Yuntong were defeated, he would probably often think that if he had the power of mechs, he might not have been defeated.

"Arrogant!" Fan Yuntong was furious, feeling that he had been underestimated.

Young people these days are really arrogant and ignorant.

He thought this, but his movements were not slow at all. The mecha was pushed to its limit, and divine power boiled, burning the star sea.

The giant, over half a zhang tall, transformed into a purple-gold divine light and sped away. Wherever it passed, the void was reconstructed, the patterns of the Great Dao spread, and the starry sea was overwhelmed and seemed about to collapse.

"Hey!"

The purple-gold battle sword transformed into a dazzling display of flames, its sword light covering the sky and engulfing the sea of ​​stars, colliding with the unparalleled fist light.

"boom!"

The starry sea trembled, and terrifying aftershocks spread. Wherever they went, small worlds were created, and the mechanism of creation flowed, but they shattered in an instant.

The Chaos Fist was unstoppable, unique in the world. Its unparalleled power pressed forward, annihilating sword light, making it impossible to contend with.

Fan Yuntong's body trembled violently, the energy shield of the mecha shattered, the mecha creaked and groaned, unable to withstand the immense pressure and unable to block the overwhelming fist light.

"How can it be?!"

He couldn't believe it; his opponent hadn't used the "Military Secret Technique," but had instead crushed him with sheer strength.

That unparalleled fist light was in no way weaker than the unpredictable secret of the "Soldier" technique.

"Do you submit?" Li Yao calmly withdrew his fist and asked.

"I give up." Fan Yuntong didn't intend to fight to the death. After seeing the gap between them, he quickly realized the reality.

If Li Yao hadn't stopped with that punch, Fan Yuntong and his mecha would have been blown to pieces.

That kind of power was truly terrifying, so much so that Fan Yuntong couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance; any ulterior motives he had were shattered by a single punch.

……

Deep within the Dao City lies a dragon cave, a rare and pure land for cultivation, brimming with abundant spiritual energy, rising dragon aura, and auspicious omens.

“My lord, the materials required for the strongest evolution fluid are too rare. The clan does have some first, second, and third-tier evolution fluids, but they are useless to you. As for the fourth-tier evolution fluid, the clan does not have any at the moment,” Fan Yuntong said truthfully.

The extraction of the strongest evolution fluid is very complex, and each of its materials is a rare and precious item that is very difficult to collect.

Especially those of the fourth-order evolution fluid and above are heaven-defying treasures. Even a powerful race like the Brahma Clan can only extract one fourth-order evolution fluid every hundred years.

"Such a large clan, yet they don't even have a fourth-tier evolution fluid?" Li Yao was somewhat surprised.

Years ago, when he left the Ziwei Starfield, he encountered a young man from the Chiyang Clan, and what he robbed from him was the fourth-order evolution fluid.

Even a mere Dao-Slaying cultivator can extract fourth-tier evolution fluid, yet the vast Brahma Clan is no match for a mere cultivator?!
"Please forgive me, sir, the extraction of fourth-order evolution fluid depends on luck," Fan Yuntong quickly explained when he saw Li Yao's suspicion.

"For example, within the Brahma Clan, there are several sets of materials for the strongest evolution fluid. They are only one main ingredient away from becoming a fourth-tier evolution fluid, but this main ingredient is extremely difficult to find."

"Sometimes you're lucky and get the main material, then you can extract the fourth-order evolution fluid at any time. But if you're unlucky, you might not be able to extract the fourth-order evolution fluid for one or two hundred years."

Soon, with Fan Yuntong's explanation, Li Yao roughly understood.

The so-called strongest evolution fluid is extremely rare even on Eternal Star, especially after the fourth rank, it is extremely scarce.

The first, second, and third tiers are manageable; for a force of the Brahma's size, they can refine them every year. But the fourth-tier evolution fluid depends entirely on luck.

Li Yao nodded knowingly, then stretched out his palm, and divine light suddenly spread throughout the cave.

The Primordial Life Stone shone with a hazy glow; though only the size of a fist, its life force was extremely powerful. "The Primordial Life Stone!" Fan Yuntong exclaimed in surprise.

Even a sage cannot remain calm in the face of the Primordial Life Stone, a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and the main ingredient for refining the strongest evolution fluid.

Or rather, this rare treasure can replace many materials in the strongest evolution fluid; it's not a direct replacement, but an optimization.

The Primordial Life Stone, this rare treasure of heaven and earth, can not only be used to refine fourth-order evolution fluid, but also for fifth, sixth, and even seventh-order evolution fluid.

This shows how precious this divine mineral is, and how it can not make people feel refreshed and happy.

"So, can we now refine the fourth-order evolution fluid?" Li Yao asked calmly.

“Of course it’s possible, but I don’t mind doing it this way.” Fan Yuntong shook his head.

"Oh?"

"Primordial Life Stone, this is a heaven-defying divine mineral, a panacea that can replace any divine mineral."

Fan Yuntong spoke, paused, and continued to explain: "If we are refining fourth-order evolution fluid now, the Primordial Life Stone will replace the Heavenly Life Rock. But if we find the Heavenly Life Rock, we can completely replace another material with the Primordial Life Stone to refine fifth-order evolution fluid."

"Or, find the Heavenly Water Stone Flower and replace the Heavenly Destiny Rock with the Primordial Destiny Stone."

Since you have already submitted, you must have professional ethics.

Fan Yuntong is a person with strong professional ethics. The advice he gave at this moment was truly for Li Yao's benefit and was the solution that maximized his interests.

As for why this is the case, it's not hard to understand.

Li Yao's future is foreseeable, and his chances of attaining enlightenment are extremely high. Since he has already chosen to submit, he should do his job well, and the rewards in the future will be substantial.

As the midway point of the human race's trial path, Eternal Star is a place where many outstanding talents come to.

For example, Pang Bo, Ji Haoyue, Nan Yao, Ye Fan, and others all came to Eternal Star.

This is just one ancient star in the Big Dipper. There are countless ancient stars with life throughout the universe. Even if only one genius emerges from each of the other ancient stars, the number is still enormous. Even if only a small portion of them reach the Eternal Realm, the number will still be considerable.

Over time, Eternal Star learned about many things, whether actively or passively, such as the Ancient Star Road and the Imperial Road Conquest!

Fan Yuntong believed that even among the stars, Li Yao was an outstanding figure, so he placed his bet, going all in early, which was practically betting everything the Fan Clan had at present.

The risk is minimal; it only requires some resources, but the potential rewards are enormous.

No one would miss out on such a good thing.

Oh... that's not necessarily true. It's just that Fan Yuntong has flexible bottom lines. A dignified ancient saint becoming an interstellar pirate, if it were someone with a rigid mind, he would definitely die rather than surrender.

Time flies like water, and gallops like a galloping horse.

After the battle in Heaven, everything proceeded smoothly. Li Yao quietly cultivated, while Fan Yuntong organized people to begin searching for the whereabouts of the Destiny Rock and the Heavenly Water Stone Flower.

With either of the two divine materials, you can refine a fifth-tier evolution fluid. With both, plus some auxiliary materials, you can try to refine a sixth-tier evolution fluid.

However, both of these divine materials share a common characteristic: they are extremely difficult to find. Otherwise, the Brahma Clan would have already refined the fifth-order evolution fluid themselves.

In the dark and cold universe, one after another, enormous warships lay across the horizon, gleaming with a cold metallic luster and a blazing silver light, sailing in an orderly fashion toward a sea of ​​stars.

The massive fleet was incredibly vast; if you stood on one of the ships and looked around, it seemed to stretch endlessly.

However, if the perspective is broadened, this fleet becomes incredibly small. Not to mention compared to the entire universe, even from the perspective of a star field, all that can be seen is desolation.

“How far is it from the goal?”

Inside a five-thousand-foot-long Saint-class spaceship, a red-haired woman spoke.

This was an absolutely perfect woman, wearing a purple short skirt that shimmered with light. Her two long, straight, snow-white legs swayed gracefully as she walked, their shimmering light dazzling her beauty.

She had a slender figure, with smooth and shiny red hair. Her exposed navel resembled a piece of pure white jade. Her slender waist was smooth and delicate. She wore a purple divine robe, revealing a pair of fair and radiant arms.

This woman is a rare goddess even in the entire universe, her beauty surpassing all others, attracting countless heroes who pursue her, all for the chance to win her favor.

Upon hearing the woman's question, the person who was constantly controlling the screen quickly looked up and replied, "We are close to the destination. We only need to make two more aerial jumps to reach it."

"So you've finally arrived?" Beside the woman, a red-haired man shuddered, his joints cracking, looking incredibly arrogant.

His expression was one of intense excitement and eagerness, which made the woman's eyelids twitch with unease. She then issued a cold warning:
"For this operation, the Holy Ancestor Fan Yuntonggu has instructed you to follow my orders and not act on your own."

The woman would never forget that day when Brahma ordered the warships to attack the young man in the golden Taoist robe, thus beginning the great war.

In the end, the young man casually struck and destroyed the Saint-level warship. If she hadn't reacted quickly and had a premonition to activate the teleportation array in advance, she would have already perished under that attack.

Of course, she also knew that the reason the two of them were able to survive was because the young man didn't take them seriously, which is why they were able to leave so easily.

"Don't worry, cousin Fanxian. Robbery is something your cousin is very good at; it'll be a piece of cake for him." Fantian said nonchalantly.

"You've forgotten that day..."

“I haven’t forgotten, but how can something like that happen every time?”

Fan Xian's beautiful eyes narrowed, her red lips parted slightly to reveal her pearly teeth, and she said in a cold voice, "In short, do not act rashly, otherwise, I will report to my great-grandfather."

Brahma clicked his tongue, his expression extremely unpleasant. He could ignore everyone else's words, but he would never dare to disobey Fan Yuntong.

After a moment of silence, Fan Xian spoke again: "Don't you find it strange? In the past, even if we encountered the Chi Yang family, our target this time, we would have avoided them and not provoked them. But this time, our great-grandfather is telling us to take the initiative to seize them."

Upon hearing this, Brahma frowned and began to ponder. When he first heard about this operation, he couldn't believe it either.

That's the Chiyang family, located on the Eternal Main Star. They are a colossal entity, and their strongest warrior, the Chiyang King Ancestor, is far more powerful than Fan Yuntong. He is a Saint King.

This force is clearly much stronger than the Brahma race and is considered an entity that should not be provoked.

This time, however, Fan Yuntong dispatched a fleet to seize the Chiyang family's outlying strongholds.

This is hard to imagine. Who gave Fan Yuntong the audacity to act like this, without fear of being purged by the Chiyang family?

Even Brahma couldn't help but feel offended by Fan Yuntong in his heart, because it was truly outrageous.

"Grandpa has made these arrangements, there's no use thinking about it anymore, just focus on your work," Brahma finally said.

Fan Xian remained silent. Although he said this, a bold idea was secretly brewing in his heart.

What was the outcome of that battle outside the region?

Where is that young man in the golden Taoist robe?

Is the change in the Brahma community related to him?

This time, the fleet dispatched was not just this one; before them, another fleet had already been dispatched, its destination unknown.

After them, who knows if any other fleets will be dispatched?

But that's not all. What puzzled her most was the array plate her great-grandfather had given her; it wasn't from the Eternal Star.

As she pondered this, a voice suddenly rang out, bringing Fan Xian back to her senses.

"We've arrived at our destination!"

On the spaceship's large screen, an asteroid was displayed at this moment. It was extremely far away, but when zoomed in, it could be seen that there were buildings on it and many warships were parked there.

In particular, there was a golden warship, thousands of feet long, engraved with the patterns of the Great Dao, ancient and majestic, clearly a Saint-level warship.

The fact that they saw each other meant that their whereabouts had been discovered by the other party.

"Leave no one alive, kill them all!" Brahma ordered.

……

A flock of crows flew by, but the Brahma fleet did not respond. The command room was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Fan Xian chuckled, his cold voice ringing out: "Leave no one alive, kill them all!"

In an instant, numerous warships erupted with intense light, and various beams of light shot out from the starry sea, piercing forward.

"boom!"

An asteroid exploded, was struck by a beam of light, and turned into dust. Then, the terrifying beam continued forward, engulfing this star field.

A great battle is about to break out. Terrifying energy fluctuations sweep across the starry sky, and a massacre is inevitable.

P.S.: Time difference adjusted, stable little prince online.
