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

Chapter 291 Fifth-Order Evolution Fluid

Fleets of ships were engulfed in flames and reduced to cosmic dust, turning the area into a land of death, where fierce battles raged.

"The Brahma Clan, how dare you invade the Crimson Sun Royal Family?" A majestic voice emanated from within the golden sacred artifact.

"We're targeting your Crimson Sun Royal Family! Hand over the Heavenly Fate Rock, or none of you will leave here alive!" Brahma roared.

"Such arrogance." A majestic voice sneered, and a golden warship unfurled its light barrier and joined the battle.

The unchanging, desolate universe was now in complete chaos, with beams of light shooting out and all the asteroids that were affected exploding, forming a terrifying storm.

This is an interstellar war, and cultivators play a limited role in it; it all depends on which side has the superior spaceship.

Especially the Saint-class warships, whose power is astonishing, and whose beams of light can only be blocked by Saints.

These warships are extremely powerful, unlike the holy weapons of ascetics. They are specifically designed for long-range warfare and are a product of the perfect combination of the Great Dao and technology.

This was a brutal battle; the two sides were evenly matched, with no significant difference in strength.

But it is often these kinds of battles that are the most brutal, a back-and-forth struggle, no different from a meat grinder, where both sides suffer losses.

“No, if this continues, all the men we brought will be wiped out.” Brahma frowned and said this after observing for a while.

The Brahma Clan's fleet was very strong, including two Saint-level warships, but the Chiyang Clan was not weak either, also having two Saint-level warships.

Therefore, the situation became completely deadlocked, and neither side could gain the upper hand.

"boom!"

There was no scene of blood gushing out and flesh flying everywhere, but it was even more cruel. As the warship disintegrated, nothing was left; in an instant, it turned into ashes.

Although the Brahma people are large and powerful, they cannot withstand such losses. They are always careful to avoid casualties when they raid, in order to prevent such situations from occurring.

"Hurry up and think of a solution. Your great-grandfather entrusted you with commanding the overall situation, not with wasting the strength of the Brahma Clan like this." Brahma's eyes were arrogant, and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He and Fan Xian were 'of similar age' and their cultivation levels were roughly equal, but this time, his great-grandfather actually gave Fan Xian full authority to make decisions, which he could hardly accept.

No, why? He's older and his cultivation is no weaker. This leadership position should be his. Why was it given to Fan Xian as the leader?
Of course, he hadn't thought about anything in particular, but if given the chance, he would be happy to say a few sarcastic remarks and vent his anger.

Brahma waited quietly, ready to unleash his full power and retort as soon as Brahma Xian opened his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xian didn't even glance at him. Instead, she stretched out her jade hand and took out a three-foot-long plate with a white jade base, various divine materials as its foundation, and mysterious patterns carved on it.

The array plate floated in the air, emanating a terrifying aura. Its killing power was astonishing, and it even contained a faint divine might!
"This...this is?!" Brahma exclaimed in shock, pointing at the array plate in disbelief.

This is the power of the gods. Those mysterious patterns were drawn by the gods themselves, each strand filled with chaotic energy, hazy and indistinct.

"This...this isn't the Great Dao Law of the Eternal Starfield, is it?" He hesitated.

I was so overwhelmed by the power of the gods that I couldn't tell the difference, but now that I've calmed down, I can see that this method did not come from the Eternal Starfield.

"I don't know either. This was given to me by my great-grandfather. He said that if we are no match for him, we should unleash the great formation," Fan Xian murmured, her beautiful eyes somewhat deep.

Brahma remained silent, lost in thought.

"Don't think too much, just focus on what's in front of you." Brahma parted her red lips slightly, exhaled a breath of stale air, and said in a cool voice.

She knew what Brahma was thinking. These same questions had been swirling in her mind when her great-grandfather handed her the array plate, and she had no answers.

Fan Xian even considered some possibilities, but he wasn't sure about any of them. He planned to subtly inquire about them with Fan Yuntong Ancient Saint after returning this time.

"boom!"

The starry sky trembled violently, the vast sea of ​​stars turned upside down, and an array plate appeared between heaven and earth. Countless Dao patterns emerged, and millions of lines intertwined to form a divine array.

This is an unparalleled formation. As soon as it appeared, all paths were thrown into chaos, and the primordial chaos exploded, just like the creation of the world. Its power was terrifying to the extreme.

In the end, Fan Xian still summoned the array plate. The power of the Emperor Array was overwhelming, the power of the ultimate path surged, the star sea boiled, and this area seemed to be about to be destroyed.

The essence of energy from all directions converged, and the Imperial Array appeared in the universe, frantically absorbing the essence of energy before releasing an even more terrifying power.

"The power of the gods?!"

"How is this possible? The power of the gods has appeared here?!"

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar, staring wide-eyed at the sea of ​​stars, sensing the power of the gods, and bowing down in worship.

At the same time, a sense of dread descended, and everyone's hearts were shrouded in gloom, fearing that the gods would be angered and bring down divine punishment.

The Imperial Formation appeared suddenly, and no one knew what was going on, which side it would target, or whether it would kill everyone!

"The power of the ancient gods!" Brahma's crimson eyes burned with excitement as he shouted, "Cousin Brahma Immortal, quickly use this power to annihilate the entire Chiyang family!"

Without his reminder, after the Imperial Array was deployed, Fan Xian sensed that he could control this great battle.

She made a hand seal, transforming herself into the center of the divine array, and then gently pointed ahead to the asteroid where the Chiyang family was located.

"boom!"

With the movement of the mind, the boundless laws of the Great Dao emerge, and a divine sword that reaches the heavens and the earth appears, radiating divine light and shining brightly as the center of the universe.

Everyone who witnessed the divine sword felt a stinging pain in their eyes, but they endured the pain and dared not look away, fearing that the divine sword would strike them down.

As he thought this, the divine sword burst forth with countless sword lights, like a vast galaxy, flying towards the star where the Chiyang family was located.

"stop!"

A loud shout rang out from the golden warship, and a layer of light shield opened, enveloping the asteroid. At the same time, a blue mech rushed out, attempting to resist the sword energy and protect the asteroid behind it.

The mecha was towering, standing over ten feet tall, exuding holy power, and its pilot was a half-saint.

Such an existence, piloting a Saint-level mecha, could absolutely unleash the power of a Saint.

"Buzz!"

A piercing tremor resounded, the universe shattered, the sword light was sharp and unstoppable, sweeping away everything in its path.

At this moment, nothing can compare to the surging sword light; it is an invincible power that will kill anyone who stands in its way!
The half-saint of the Chiyang family used a mecha to try and stop them, but as it turned out, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Without even a moment's resistance, the mech and its pilot were reduced to ashes, perishing under the sword light.

Above the asteroid, there were more than a dozen layers of light shields, all of which were defensive measures, but they all exploded in an instant.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

Without any defensive power, the cultivators on the stars were unable to withstand the power of the divine sword when faced with it. Their bodies were cracking and their flesh was exploding.

Boom!

The universe roared, the entire galaxy trembled, and meteors fell to dust one after another. This star field seemed to be about to be destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

"Stop! You'll destroy the Destiny Rock!" Brahma realized what was happening and quickly stopped him.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the sword energy dissipated, failing to penetrate the planet where the Chiyang family was located; otherwise, the planet would have been destroyed.

Its terrifying divine power is beyond imagination; it can destroy all tangible things and truly deserves to be called the power of a god.

Fan Xian was panting heavily, her purple dress stretched taut, unable to conceal her impressive figure, which was about to burst forth. Her two long and beautiful legs trembled slightly, making one's mouth dry.

It’s amazing!

At that moment, she felt the immense power of the divine array, and even felt as if she herself were a god. Every gesture she made was like that of the ancestor Fan Yuntong, perhaps…

Under such power, it's hard not to lose oneself, wanting to completely unleash one's power, destroy everything, and satisfy one's inner rage.

Fortunately, Brahma reminded her in time, bringing her to her senses and allowing her to stop. Otherwise, she would have destroyed the planet ahead, along with the Destiny Rock.

The cultivation methods of the Eternal Star are definitely not as good as those of ascetic cultivators. In addition, it was the first time that Fan Xian was experiencing this power, and for a moment he was somewhat lost.

"Phew..." Brahma breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to make any sarcastic remarks.

The power of the divine array had already been fully demonstrated, but his foul mouth angered Fan Xian, who then gave him a beating...

Ugh, I can't even imagine it, my soul is trembling.

Such immense power, yet the Ancestor of Brahma Clouds entrusted it to Brahma Immortal—it's truly unfair! Brahma roared inwardly, but outwardly remained arrogant, showing no sign of it.

After a moment, a cold voice rang out.

"Speak up."

Fan Xian calmed the turmoil in her heart, suppressed the destructive desire in her heart, and glanced at Fan Tian indifferently.

If I hadn't spoken up, you would have destroyed that entire star system. If you had, the person behind Fan Yuntong would have been furious, and we'd see what you did then. Fan Tian inwardly scoffed, but didn't say it aloud.

This is not something that is difficult to guess.

Whether it's Brahma or Brahma Immortal, both are shrewd and perceptive. Given everything that has happened, how could they not understand? The golden-robed youth from that day is likely already the mastermind behind the Brahma Clan. Brahma Yuntong's sudden unusual behavior… offending the Crimson Sun Royal Family… the great array of the ancient gods from beyond the realms…

If the events before were still puzzling, everything became clear the moment the ancient divine array appeared.

This grand formation almost certainly belongs to the young man in the golden robe, and with a divine ancient formation in hand, Fan Yuntong is no match for him.

Therefore, it was Fan Yuntong who lost that battle.

In recent days, the Brahma Clan has mobilized almost the entire clan to search for the main ingredient of the strongest evolution fluid. If they can't find it, they will steal it. This must also be on that person's orders.

"If someone can entrust the divine array to another person with such confidence, I wonder just how terrifying that person's strength is?" Fan Xian thought with fear.

She had already experienced the power of the divine array; it could overturn the heavens and plunge people into the netherworld, and anything that stood in its way could be torn apart.

If such power is entrusted to outsiders, it can only mean one thing: that person possesses even more terrifying power and is not afraid of being devoured.

Otherwise, the moment Fan Yuntong obtained the divine array, he would have killed that person.

Fanxian and Fantian looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes, their hearts unable to calm down.

Soon, the great battle ended.

Although the divine formation only launched one attack, it completely changed the balance of power, turning what was originally an evenly matched battle into a crushing defeat.

On Chiyang's side, not only did a half-saint perish, but many experts also exploded and died. Their saint-level spaceship was also reduced to ashes and could no longer compete with the Brahma Clan's warships.

With a three-foot-long rock of destiny being taken into the warship, the raid was a great success.

"Return to Heaven!" Fan Xian ordered, and the warships, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, returned to their positions, forming a neat row.

A stargate was constructed, with many huge meteorite fragments scattered around it. The massive warships flew in in an orderly fashion, embarking on their return journey.

……

The Brahma Clan dispatched multiple fleets to search extensively for the main ingredient of the strongest evolution fluid, but after three months, only the Brahma Immortal's team made any progress.

Fortunately, there were some gains in the end.

With the Destiny Rock and the Primordial Destiny Stone, one can refine the fifth-order evolution fluid.

This level of evolution fluid is a legendary treasure, even on Eternal Star, and is extremely rare.

Li Yao didn't want to wait any longer, so he instructed Fan Yuntong to refine the fifth-order evolution fluid.

The most urgent and important thing is to break through to the Saint King realm, and he is currently only one step away from that realm.

The fifth-tier evolution fluid is enough for him to break through, so there is no need to wait for the sixth-tier evolution fluid.

Breaking through to Saint King sooner will allow one to face risks more easily. Furthermore, with greater strength, the difficulty of collecting the main ingredients for the strongest evolution fluid will also decrease.

At this point, you have to make a choice.

Perhaps the sixth-order evolution fluid could push him to an unimaginable level, allowing him to go very far once he breaks through to the Saint King realm.

However, this will greatly increase the uncertainty, since no one can say for sure when new main materials can be found.

The Eternal Star is far from peaceful; there's a lot of undercurrent of conflict, with both Dao Yi and the God Organization being very powerful.

To benefit from this vortex, the only way is to continuously increase one's own strength and ensure absolute safety.

……

Dozens of miles away from Daocheng, there is a large mountain, which is where the Brahma people refine medicine, and is therefore called Medicine Refining Mountain.

This mountain is adorned with thousands of auspicious rays and countless beams of light, with various vital energies permeating the air and flowing throughout the mountains and fields, causing the vegetation and ancient forests to flourish and become lush and verdant.

Fifth-order evolution fluid cannot be refined by ordinary means; it requires the use of ancient divine alchemy methods.

Fan Yuntong personally took action, using the sacred furnace at the Alchemy Mountain to refine the fifth-order evolution fluid.

Destiny Rock, Fire God Stone, Medicine King Stone, Primordial Destiny Stone...

As one divine object after another entered the sacred furnace, the divine flames began to burn fiercely, and endless essence gathered towards the sacred furnace as if swallowed whole.

The sacred furnace roared, and countless strands of celestial light rose up, swirling around the furnace in a magnificent spectacle.

Fan Yuntong closed his eyes, merged with the sacred furnace, and used the ancient divine alchemy method to extract the divine materials in the furnace and refine the divine essence.

"when!"

Every morning, the alchemy furnace on the Alchemy Mountain shakes violently, a phenomenon that is never absent and cannot be ignored.

"boom!"

Finally, two months later, another violent tremor resounded, the sacred furnace rose and fell, emitting an incomparably brilliant light, and the lid of the furnace was lifted off with a bang.

In an instant, endless immortal energy surged out of the furnace, enveloping the entire alchemy mountain in a hazy, fragrant mist that intoxicated the mind and spirit, and even the restrictions could not withstand it.

"Success! It's incredible that we were able to refine the fifth-tier evolution fluid so quickly!"

At the foot of the Alchemy Mountain, a huge crowd of people were staring intently at the summit, their hearts pounding with excitement.

The sage personally took charge, using ancient divine alchemy methods to refine the divine materials. The speed was greatly accelerated compared to the original method, and the task was completed in just two months.

At this moment, the Alchemy Mountain was shrouded in celestial mist, radiating vibrant colors and displaying various extraordinary phenomena.

Amidst the celestial mist, a sacred furnace floats and sinks, its ancient patterns imbued with Daoist charm. Flowers, birds, fish, insects, and other creatures seem to come alive, lifelike, as if about to leave the sacred furnace and enter the world.

The refining process was not yet complete; the sacred furnace was still drawing upon the flames of the underground dragon vein to complete the final stages.

It was at this moment that the strange phenomenon became even more astonishing.

Various celestial beings appeared and surrounded the sacred furnace, while auspicious light descended from the sky and sprinkled upon the furnace.

"The furnace is about to be opened!"

At the foot of the mountain, people who witnessed this scene were incredibly excited. This was clearly a sign that the evolution fluid was about to succeed, a scene that was absolutely rare to see on Eternal Star.

"Wow!"

A clear, melodious cry rang out as the phoenix circled around the furnace, spewing divine fire to forge the sacred furnace.

"Roar……"

Three days later, the dragon leaped up and roared around the furnace, spewing out divine dragon flames that made the ancient furnace even more crystalline.

Through the sacred furnace, one can see the scene inside. The various divine materials are gone, and in their place, a kind of immortal liquid is slowly flowing.

Even through the sacred furnace, people could still clearly sense the extraordinary nature of the immortal liquid. Their own bloodlines yearned for it, believing that tempering their bodies with it would surely allow their bloodlines to advance further.

"The fifth-order evolution fluid is really going to work. All the unusual phenomena recorded on the intelligent network have appeared. True dragons, fire phoenixes, white tigers, qilin and all kinds of auspicious beasts have manifested."

Everyone was excited, from the young to the giants of the Brahma Clan. Without exception, they all came to the foot of the alchemy mountain and waited quietly for the refining to be completed.

"Bang!"

Finally, the furnace lid was completely lifted, and the true dragon, fire phoenix, white tiger, qilin and others all disappeared into the furnace.

At the same time, the immortal liquid flowed slowly, exuding a refreshing fragrance, and the sacred furnace absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, as if it were breathing.

All the powerful members of the Brahma Clan took to the air and appeared on the mountaintop, where they unleashed several sacred artifacts to protect the Alchemy Mountain.

Saint-level warships also flew in, leaving behind Dao traces, while the Great Dao Gods submerged this place.

They couldn't afford to be careless; this was a fifth-tier evolution fluid, and every time it appeared in the world, it was accompanied by bloodshed and violence.

"Ha ha……"

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter rang out, shaking the cosmos and causing chaos in the outer realms, as if it were about to crash down.

"I knew it! Where did the Brahma Clan get the audacity to plunder my Chiyang Clan? It turns out they were after a gamble on the fifth-tier evolution fluid. That makes sense."

Outside of Heaven, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in white, and appearing to be in his fifties, appeared.

The Brahma people were terrified and retreated hastily, unable to withstand that terrifying power.

"Holy Might, is this an ancient saint?"

"Is that the strongest ancestor of the Chiyang family?"

People were far from calm; even the giants on the Alchemy Mountain were trembling with fear.

“Old ghost Chiyang, I knew you would come back.” Before the sacred furnace, Fan Yuntong stood up, calmly looking towards the outer realm, without the slightest fear on his face.
