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

Chapter 294 The Attention of the Divine Organization
"This is truly a grand formation of ancient gods!"

"What immense power! It's like a god walking among men!"

"Where did the Brahma obtain this great formation?"

On the asteroid Paradise, a massive array was deployed, almost completely enveloping the entire planet, and everyone directly experienced the power of the divine array.

This kind of power awes the past, present, and future, reigning supreme over the universe. Even looking directly at it is a longing, and one can only bow down in worship.

Some who had harbored ulterior motives were now filled with fear. Did they really have to contend with the divine array? This thought arose in their minds.

"Haha..." A burst of laughter rang out, and Fan Yuntong strode forward with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, quickly walking towards the two ancient saints of the Chiyang family.

"For safety reasons, a large formation has been deployed. Please forgive us."

He was beaming with pride, a smile playing on his lips, so much so that even the divine array couldn't suppress him.

Heaven is full of demons and monsters, but so what? Under the divine array, who dares to act recklessly?

The two ancient saints of the Chiyang family were tense and dared not be careless, especially after feeling the power of the divine array.

"The divine materials have been brought, but where is the ancestor?" An ancient saint looked at Fan Yuntong and spoke first.

With the divine array in place, Fan Yuntong was not afraid of the Chiyang family's trickery, and readily handed over the person before saying:

"Give me the stuff."

Chiyang Wangzu's face turned ashen, feeling utterly humiliated. He remained silent, while the two ancient saints of the Chiyang family breathed a sigh of relief and readily produced dozens of materials.

These materials include ancient medicines that are crystal clear and exude a rich fragrance, resembling a small tree; destiny rocks formed by chance after the destruction of stars; fire god stones that exist in underground fiery veins and are extremely rare; and water-fire stones born from the divine flames of the seabed...

Everything radiates divine light, formed by the creation of heaven and earth, naturally containing the divine laws of the Great Dao, which is rarely seen in the world.

These rare materials are priceless and unavailable on the market. Unless you are incredibly lucky and find them yourself, you will never see them on the market.

This is why the strongest physique evolution fluid is so precious. Not to mention the main ingredients, even the auxiliary ingredients are rare treasures, priceless.

A single material like this can fetch an astronomical price elsewhere, which shows how precious it is.

Faced with such a rare treasure, it's natural that some people would be tempted to try and seize it.

"boom!"

A giant black hand swept across the sky, covering the entire world. Within the enormous palm were mountains and rivers, incredibly realistic, like a world unto itself.

The giant hand moved with incredible speed and struck suddenly. By the time people reacted, the rare materials were already in its grasp.

In the distance, an ancient sage made his move, his terrifying holy might sweeping across the land, while the Great Dao God's power astonished the world.

Two sets of Tier 4 Evolution Fluid and four sets of Tier 3 Evolution Fluid materials—such a move is definitely worth the risk.

Even with the divine array suspended in the sky, it still cannot stop these greedy people.

He was shrouded in thick black mist, so thick that even the Heavenly Eye couldn't see through him, clearly indicating that he was deliberately concealing his identity.

The Cao family, the Mo family, the Lanto clan, and other forces were all taken aback, their eyes shifting and becoming incredibly deep. They all retreated to a distance and began to observe.

If given the chance, they wouldn't mind getting involved. Whether it's materials or divine arrays, they are all rare treasures, and obtaining even one would be an immense stroke of luck.

"Stir it up, stir it up, the more chaotic the better."

After succeeding, the person in the shadows immediately fled far away. They were very fast and were about to break out of the divine array's range in just a few breaths.

"How dare you! Aren't you afraid of death?" Fan Yuntong was furious. He hadn't expected that someone would actually dare to make a move. He immediately tried to control the great formation to suppress and kill this fiend.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his limbs stiffened, and a look of fear appeared uncontrollably in his pupils.

...The divine array was actually restrained. Hidden within was yet another ancient divine array.

The two great formations restrained each other, preventing either from unleashing its divine power.

In the Eternal Starfield, there are actually other ancient divine arrays? I've never heard of them before, nor have they ever appeared in the world!
Not only Fan Yuntong, but everyone was shocked; no one had expected this to happen.

"Buzz!"

The two divine formations held each other in balance, but only for a moment. The Emperor's Killing Formation was clearly stronger, and this balance could not be maintained for long.

The person in the shadows knew this, but showed no panic. Instead, they spoke slowly.

"Everyone, why aren't you making a move? Kill Fan Yuntong and divide up the Divine Ancient Array."

The icy voice echoed throughout Heaven, bringing a chilling atmosphere that sent shivers down the spines of the Brahma people.

Many people's eyes gleamed with intense light, some even showing interest. The two sages from the Chiyang family were particularly eager to get started.

This time, the Chiyang family suffered heavy losses, almost losing half their lives, and they hated the Brahma clan to the core.

They were only reluctant to accept the situation because of the divine array, but they couldn't miss the chance to kick a man when he was down.

If they seize this opportunity well, the Chiyang family can completely make up for their losses, and may even make a fortune.

But at the last moment, the Crimson Sun King stopped the two and used his divine sense to tell them about the tribulation that had occurred outside Heaven some time ago.

Others may not know, but he saw it clearly: the person who underwent tribulation that day rushed out from Heaven. Combined with the sudden appearance of the divine array of the Brahma race, everything made sense.

There must be an extraordinary being hiding behind the Brahma Clan. The Divine Array was also passed down by that person. Fan Yuntong is just a nobody on the surface.

If the divine array is controlled by others, then wouldn't one of them hold even greater power in their own hands?
The Chiyang family, having learned their lesson, decided not to intervene. But the others had a different idea.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled, as if a million volcanoes were erupting. A terrifying impact swept across the land, causing the universe to collapse and the sky to crumble.

In the shattered sky, two ancient saint mechs charged out, each eight or nine zhang tall, one wielding a crimson battle blade and the other a jet-black battle spear.

The boundless divine laws of the Great Dao erupted, and the entire sky seemed to boil, shaking violently. At the very center was none other than Fan Yuntong.

"Two novice Saints dare to be so presumptuous!" Fan Yuntong roared, striking out with a palm that exploded with immortal light, sending the two ancient Saint mechs flying.

Instead of pressing his advantage, he glanced at the fleeing figure, his eyes bloodshot with rage, wanting to chase after them and snatch back the materials.

Those divine materials are not from the Brahma Clan; if anything goes wrong, he cannot bear the consequences.

The only value of the Brahma Clan is to refine the strongest physique evolution fluid for that person. If they can't even do this, then they have no value whatsoever.

But he had only taken a step and flown a few thousand miles when a figure appeared from afar, wearing a black mecha of Saint King level, who blocked his way, and they began to fight.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a hundred blows, causing the void to collapse and chaotic energy to surge.

"Cang Hailie, you're asking for death!" Fan Yuntong said angrily, glaring at the newcomer.

In that brief moment of obstruction, the person had already broken out of the divine array's range and was about to disappear into the sea of ​​stars.

At this moment, he was somewhat powerless. His divine formation was restrained, and many powerful enemies took the opportunity to attack. He was no match for them.

The person who stole the divine material has already entered the Star Sea, like a fish in the ocean, and is difficult to find.

No one stopped them; it was as if it had been pre-arranged, and they allowed the man to take away the six precious materials.

Everyone saw the opportunity, and those who were initially hesitant began to be tempted.

Originally, they were worried that the Brahma Clan might have a backup plan, so they were all watching and waiting. But now, Fan Yuntong watched helplessly as the divine material was stolen, and he was powerless to do anything about it. It didn't seem like they had a backup plan at all.

If we act now, we can easily take a share of the profits without lifting a finger.

But no one noticed that deep within Fan Yuntong's hysterical eyes, there was absolutely no panic.

"boom!"

The laws of the Holy Path were astonishing, and three more saints emerged to surround and kill Fan Yuntong. Together with the three before him, there were a total of six ancient saints!

Even a blind person could see which side had the greater advantage in this situation.

"Uncle!" The ancient saint of the Chiyang family was anxious and could hardly contain himself.

Chiyang Wangzu hesitated, "Could it be that I'm wrong, and the Brahma Clan doesn't have a powerful figure behind them?"

Given the current situation, it's somewhat illogical that the people behind the Brahma Clan haven't stepped forward.

Was it a wrong guess, or is it a bait-and-switch tactic?
"boom!"

Two more saints charged out, and Fan Yuntong was sent flying, his mech riddled with cracks and gushing blood.

"Uncle!" Another ancient saint couldn't hold back any longer.

At this moment, Fan Yuntong was completely suppressed and had no power to fight back. His golden mecha armor had multiple cracks on its surface, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.

Chiyang Wangzu struggled with the decision, unsure of the outcome, feeling that both possibilities were highly probable.

"Uncle, don't hesitate any longer, the outcome over there is almost decided."

"on!"

In the end, greed triumphed over reason, and the Crimson Sun King decided to take a gamble, clinging to a sliver of hope.

However, as soon as they rushed out, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled, the outer realm exploded, and the star sea turned into ruins. There, divine light soared into the sky, like a sun, and its astonishing heat could be felt from a great distance.

Its divine power was boundless and beyond imagination, turning that part of the starry sky into ruins. The powerful energy fluctuations that returned to Heaven still terrified everyone.

“He really has a backup plan.” The Crimson Sun King Ancestor turned around quickly and returned to his original position, looking out over the outer realm as if nothing had happened.

It was a close call; he almost made a move. At that point, everything would have been irreversible. The two ancient saints of the Chiyang family were still shaken.

"It's a scam!"

Everyone who had made a move was startled and looked incredulously toward the outer realm, sensing the terrifying aura there.

"Hahaha..." Fan Yuntong laughed, tearing off his tattered helmet: "You guys had your fun, now it's my turn."

"Boom!" In the sky, the Emperor's Killing Array shook, the heavens and earth collapsed, countless chains of divine order broke, and the terrifying killing intent overturned the heavens. All tangible things collapsed after being touched by the killing intent.

In the shadows, the other wielder's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"

The previously stalemate suddenly took a dramatic turn, with the Emperor's Killing Array unleashing even greater power and suppressing the Divine Array in one fell swoop.

The sudden change caught him completely off guard. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late, and launching a counterattack was simply a pipe dream.

"If I hadn't wanted to see how many people would attack my Brahma Clan, which is why I'm holding out against you, your barely-there divine array would have been destroyed long ago," Fan Yuntong said arrogantly.

Yes, this is a fishing trip.

Originally, he was prepared to act decisively, but the person sent him a telepathic message, instructing him to feign defeat.

Otherwise, given the power of the Emperor's Killing Formation, the battle would have been decided long ago, instead of dragging on until now.

Heaven, earth, ghosts, and gods all worship the Emperor! This statement carries immense weight, demonstrating the Emperor's immense power.

Although the Emperor Venerable does not specialize in array formations, his mastery of array formations should be no less than that of the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable.

Apart from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, throughout history, the Emperor's Killing Formation is definitely a top-tier supreme divine formation.

The reason why the Zhuxian Sword Formation is ranked first is because of the Lingbao Formation Diagram, which is a tool contained in the Dao of Lingbao Tianzun, as well as the Lingbao Four Killing Swords, which add even more killing power to the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

The combination of array and weapon is what created the legend of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, without the Spirit Treasure Formation Diagram and the Four Killing Swords of the Spirit Treasure, is not necessarily stronger than the Emperor's Killing Formation.

This is the Emperor's Killing Formation. It cannot compare to the complete Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, but it is definitely the most powerful formation below it.

On the other side, how could the barely formed divine array at two corners withstand the Emperor's Killing Array for so long?

All of this was, of course, bait to lure the big fish into the trap, while the massive energy fluctuations from beyond the realm were the signal to close the net.

Fan Yuntong's eyes surged with killing intent. The Emperor's Killing Array pierced through the Nine Netherworlds, splitting the heavens and earth. Terrifying divine might descended, causing the sky to collapse.

Beneath the killing formation was another divine formation, which was being suppressed and was completely unable to resist.

"Since you want to hide your identities, I have no interest in knowing them. In that case, die!" He looked at the two saints who had attacked first. They were covered in mechs, and their true identities were unknown.

The act of wanting to take a bite out of someone while also wanting to avoid retaliation after failing is the most despicable, like a troublemaker stirring up trouble.

The killing formation trembled, the sky collapsed, and this area turned into chaos. Endless killing intent descended, filling people with fear.

"No, I am..."

The two saints were in a great hurry and tried to reveal their identities, but it was too late. With two "poof" sounds, they and their mechs were blasted to dust.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and a great terror enveloped everyone's heart. Even the most powerful ancient sages could not find peace of mind.

This was a saint; throughout the entire Eternal Starfield, such powerful beings were few and far between, yet he was killed so easily.

This scene was so horrifying that even the ancient sages felt a sense of kinship and experienced the great terror of impending death.

Fan Yuntong's eyes were bloodshot as he stared directly at the remaining ancient saints, his gaze sweeping over everyone as if choosing his next target.

This is like a butcher holding a hunting knife, selecting the prey to be slaughtered, the killing intent solidifying into a tangible form.

“Fellow Daoist Fan, please stop.” Canghai Lie, the ancient saint of the Canghai Clan, quickly stepped forward and said, “I am willing to offer three portions of third-tier evolution fluid. I hope you will temporarily quell your wrath.”

Cang Hailie was a powerful ancient saint, wearing a Saint King mecha and capable of unleashing the power of a Saint King, but at this moment, he had no intention of resisting.

Even with the support of the Brahma Cloud Array and the ability to suppress the Divine Array, the Emperor's Killing Array remains invincible.

Cang Hailie was very self-aware. In the original story, he knew things were going badly as soon as he reached the Fire Scale Cave and wanted to retreat, but the other side didn't give him the chance.

This time, he did the same thing. Seeing that he was no match for the enemy, he immediately admitted defeat and offered resources in exchange for a chance to survive.

"Heh, three portions of third-tier divine materials? Are you trying to fob me off?" Fan Yuntong's eyes were icy cold, his killing intent surging as he aimed at Cang Hailie, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

"Five portions, five portions of the third rank. I hope Brother Fan Dao will show mercy." Cang Hai Lie quickly raised his hand and extended five fingers.

“Add one fourth-tier item,” Fan Yuntong said coldly.

Cang Hailie's mouth tasted bitter as he said with difficulty, "Brother Dao, the Cang Hai Clan is similar to the Fan Clan. Five-third rank is already the best we can do. Fourth rank, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the ability."

Fan Yuntong thought about it and realized that it was true. Before Li Yao came, his Fan clan did not have any fourth-level members. So he agreed and said, "In that case, let's make seven third-level members."

"Brother Dao, the Canghai Clan only has five third-tier resources. I hope you will show mercy." Canghai Lie begged for mercy.

That's true. The Canghai Clan really only has five sets of Tier 3 materials. How can they gather the remaining two sets in such a short time?
"I don't care. You have one month. If the Canghai Clan fails to do it, don't blame me for being ruthless." Fan Yuntong issued his final ultimatum, then looked at the other person.

This one is wearing a seven-zhang blue mecha. Although it is an ancient saint-level mecha, it is a super saint mecha with considerable power.

The Sun Never Sets Clan is also a powerful clan, with two ancient saints within its ranks, making it even stronger than the Brahma Clan and the Canghai Clan.

"Five parts of the third rank, one part of the fourth rank!" After some bargaining, this was the price the British Empire paid to redeem its people.

Then, there were three sets of Tier 3 and one set of Tier 4 from the Cao family, two sets of Tier 4 from the Lantuo clan, one set of Tier 4 and two sets of Tier 3 from the Miluo clan, and one set of Tier 4 and three sets of Tier 3 from the Yanyun clan.

The world was completely silent, except for the sound of my heartbeat, which was like a war drum and could not be calmed.

Six portions of fourth-tier and twenty portions of third-tier evolution fluid materials—what an astonishing fortune!
Everyone in Heaven felt their heads were spinning, and some couldn't even stand up straight.

The invaders' lips twitched, a bitter taste rising in their mouths. The price was far too high. Even though they were from powerful clans, such a loss still pained them so much that their breath went numb.

"Alright, it's your turn now." Fan Yuntong looked out at the sky, his expression slightly solemn.

There, there was a divine array. Although it was suppressed by the Emperor's Killing Array, it still radiated divine light and remained invincible.

Besides those present, there was a mysterious mastermind behind the scenes, whose identity was unknown to anyone.

The other party is very mysterious. Even when the situation seemed certain, they still did not show themselves and remained hidden in the shadows.

Even a flawed divine array is still the most precious thing in the world, and not just anyone can possess it.

Before the Brahma Clan, such a thing had not appeared in the Eternal Starfield for hundreds of thousands of years. Moreover, this divine array was not an extraterrestrial array, but truly originated from the Eternal Starfield.

The patterns on the grand formation were regular and intricate, a combination of technology and cultivation. It was immediately recognizable as a technique of the Eternal Star Domain. This also meant that the newcomer was not from outside the domain, but rather a member of the Eternal Star Domain.

"Let me go, and this matter will end here, how about it?" Finally, the person in the shadows spoke.

The Divine Array was suppressed by the Emperor's Killing Array and could not break free at all. The person could leave, but the Divine Array could not be taken away.

Should we discard it?
Even someone as wealthy and powerful as Li Yao wouldn't do that.

To depict the Imperial Array, very rare materials are required, and given the choice, one would certainly not give them up.

However, it's unrealistic to try and take advantage of the chaos. The divine array consumes essence at an alarming rate. Each time it inhales and exhales, it drains the essence of an entire area. Moreover, the operation of the divine array also consumes a great deal of the divine materials that form its carrier.

Both sides knew this, so neither wanted to drag it out. In the end, Fan Yuntong had no choice but to open a crack and let the divine array retreat.

Li Yao did not participate; he did not want to expose himself at the moment.

Although many people now suspect that the Brahma clan has powerful backers, the specifics remain unknown and shrouded in mystery.

Sometimes, it's not the strength of the enemy that's frightening, but rather the unknown that makes people hesitant to act rashly.

If someone can produce a divine array and hand it over to their subordinates, they must be confident and unafraid of their subordinates turning against them. Just how powerful must they be?
Once this idea takes hold, very few people will dare to continue testing it.

This is also a form of deterrence, which can maintain a certain level of calm for a short period of time.

Li Yao needed time to become stronger. After breaking through to the Saint King realm, he entered a new world. Every improvement greatly boosted his combat power.

Time flies like an arrow; it passes by very quickly.

The battle in Heaven once again shocked the Eternal Starfield. Everyone was stunned after learning the details of the battle.

Someone descended with a divine array, and many ancient saints attacked. They thought they were invincible, but they were defeated again!
"The divine array in the hands of the Brahma Clan has a mysterious origin and is far more complete and powerful than any other in the world!"

"The Brahma race is truly on the rise this time; no one can stop them!"

"Who exactly is the person behind the Brahma Clan, and how terrifying is their strength that they would bestow such a divine array upon them? Do they still need someone to serve them?"

These were the thoughts of the Eternal Star People. Some were shocked by the power of the Brahma God Array, some were amazed by the impending rise of the Brahma Clan, and a few major clans were restless, wanting to make contact with the people behind the Brahma Clan.

Life is full of variety, and the Eternal Starfield has become incredibly lively, with people coming and going in a constant stream from Heaven.

Those powerful families who had been imprisoned did not cause any more trouble. They sincerely paid the ransom and resolved their grievances.

With six portions of fourth-tier and twenty portions of the strongest third-tier evolution fluid added to the warehouse, the Brahma Clan's resources have multiplied.

Fan Yuntong beamed with joy as he looked at the current prosperity of Heaven, and repeatedly marveled at his own foresight in the past, which had brought him such good fortune.

These materials are not from the Brahma Clan, but the third-tier evolution fluid, as that person said, can be used in moderation as a reward.

Although this little bit of stuff was at most just a tiny bit that slipped through that person's fingers, once the Brahma race digested it, their rise was only a matter of time.

As you can see, the Brahma Clan used to be very stingy with even the third-tier evolution fluid, refining it only once in a long while. They never had such a surplus as they do now.

While we are happy, we must not forget our worries and understand how we came to have this good fortune.

Fan Yuntong always knew that the only purpose of the Fan Clan for that person was to refine stronger evolution fluids, so he dared not slack off and kept searching for the divine materials for the fifth-tier evolution fluid.

This is the advantage of having someone to do the work. Li Yao sat cross-legged in the Dragon Cave, focusing on his cultivation without having to worry about these things. His cultivation level improved rapidly, becoming stronger day by day.

Meanwhile, in the small world where towering mountains stand and long rivers flow, the divine organization was also in an uproar.

During their journey to Heaven, they did not take action but merely observed from the shadows, and then they were astonished.

"My lord, the imperial formation in the hands of the Brahma clan is almost certainly the supreme imperial killing formation! It is exactly the same as the one recorded in the ancient books."

In a magnificent hall, an ancient sage respectfully addressed the person above him, speaking with certainty.

"The Emperor's Killing Formation, huh? Go investigate and find out its origins." The person at the head of the group was incredibly imposing, his entire body enveloped in divine light, exuding the might of a Great Sage.
