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

Chapter 306 Clash of the Extremes
A powerful expert with high mastery of Dao patterns can set up an unparalleled Dharma Eye to transmit scenes from beyond the realm back and manifest the battle situation.

Several Ancestral Kings worked together, quickly inscribing Dao patterns, and soon a huge array platform was constructed, revealing the battlefield outside the heavens.

The battlefield in outer space has broken free from the atmosphere and gravitational field of the Big Dipper constellation and entered the vast starry sky.

The place was silent, with lifeless asteroids, shattered weapons, and huge, desiccated corpses floating quietly in space, exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity.

Darkness, desolation, and bleakness remain unchanged here since time immemorial; apart from the traces left by the great battle of the saints, there is nothing here.

Kun Zhou and the Fighting Saint King transformed into divine light and quickly rushed to the outer battlefield.

But just before they arrived, Li Yao arrived first, ahead of them.

His green robes fluttered in the wind, and every inch of his body radiated an immortal divine light. Just by standing there, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth spontaneously resonated with him.

Kun Zhou's eyes narrowed, and a slight sense of apprehension rose in his heart. He and the Fighting Saint King had set off first, but it turned out that this young man had arrived first!
The opponent's previous speed was not a burst of speed, but something that could be maintained for a long time.

This is somewhat alarming, as a sudden burst of speed and maintaining lightning speed for a long period of time are two different concepts, and their impact on combat power is vastly different.

With such incredible speed, he was invincible from the start, and even he couldn't do anything to his opponent.

Of course, Kunzhou wasn't too worried. At least in this great battle, while excessive speed would have its advantages, they wouldn't be that significant.

Because this battle involves ancient imperial weapons and the unfolding of imperial laws, the advantage of speed will no longer be decisive.

This great battle was a war of the Holy Ones, but it was also a war of the Imperial Army.

As soon as the three arrived outside the realm, they alerted the warships circling there. Without the slightest hesitation, the warships transformed into a beam of celestial light and rushed into the depths of the universe.

"I have come only for the path to immortality, and have no intention of participating in your great battle." A wave of divine thought swept away.

Li Yao was slightly taken aback and somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that at this time, people from outside the realm had already arrived in Beidou. However, they were hovering outside the realm and had not entered the Beidou star field.

He had entered and exited the Big Dipper constellation before, but since he had not encountered any sages from beyond the realm, he assumed that these people had not yet arrived.

It now seems that sages from beyond the realm may have already begun to arrive, but they dare not enter rashly without understanding the Big Dipper.

Especially now that the situation in Beidou is complex and the ancient races have revived, they are an extremely powerful force, which makes them even more feared and afraid of being wiped out by a joint effort.

This is not uncommon. Many ancient planets in the universe are xenophobic, and the Eternal Starfield is a typical example. As soon as they learn that someone comes from outside the field, they will immediately take control of them, trace the origins, find their ancient planet through the outsider, and then launch an interstellar invasion.

This situation is somewhat similar to the Dark Forest; in uncertain circumstances, one dares not approach and is always prepared to be attacked.

But those outsiders don't know that the Big Dipper Starfield is a very inclusive starfield, and almost everyone here is an outsider, so there isn't much xenophobic sentiment.

Of course, there is a prerequisite: do not infringe upon their interests; otherwise, a clash is still inevitable.

Once these people from beyond the realm gradually understand, they will descend upon the Five Realms, at which point the peace of the Big Dipper will be shattered once again.

Li Yao knew he wouldn't stay in Beidou forever, so before leaving, he wanted to thoroughly establish the prestige of the Yao Guang Holy Land, so that no one would dare to provoke it easily.

Coincidentally, among the myriad races of antiquity, there has always been a group of dishonest beings, making them perfect targets for making an example of. This not only eliminates destabilizing factors but also intimidates the world, achieving two goals at once.

As one of the behind-the-scenes supporters of the radical faction, removing Kun Zhou Dasheng would have a much greater deterrent effect than wiping out a few royal families.

The three stood facing each other on the outer battlefield. This time, without any restraint, they unleashed their Great Sage's might, causing the entire starry sea to tremble.

"Young friend, I'll ask you one last time, are you really determined to get involved?" Kun Zhou looked at Li Yao, still hoping this variable would leave.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Li Yao had already planned to strike at the radical royal family by killing him, and it was impossible for him to back down at this time.

"It's a pity that a peerless genius is about to pass away." Kun Zhou sighed and looked at the Fighting Saint King. "Monkey, besides me, there is another fellow Daoist who wants to learn from me today."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Originally, the situation today was that I and that fellow Daoist would meet you together, but now that someone has interfered, that will not be possible."

In the Northern Region, amidst the Ten Thousand Mountains, everyone was shocked and deeply moved upon hearing these words.

Anyone who can be addressed as "Brother Dao" by Kun Zhou must undoubtedly be an invincible Great Sage.

If the Holy King Yao Guang were not here today, then it would be two Great Saints besieging and killing the Holy King Dou Zhan!

Just imagining this scene is enough to send chills down one's spine.

The kings of the Fighting Saint King faction, Princess Divine Silkworm, and the Holy Prince were all secretly relieved.

If two Great Sages were to surround and kill each other, even someone as powerful as the Fighting Saint King would be no match for two fists.

This is not an ordinary Great Holy War, but a Great Holy War in which ancient imperial weapons are wielded!
It would be much easier for two Great Sages to wield two Imperial Weapons than for one person to do so.

Even if one reaches the Great Sage realm, one still cannot fully unleash the power of an Emperor Weapon, nor can one wield it for long; otherwise, even a Great Sage would be drained dry.

Even with his vast magical power, the Fighting Saint King could not fight for long if he used his own strength to activate two imperial weapons. When his magical power was exhausted, that would be the time of his death.

But things are different now. Yao Guang Sheng Wang can share the pressure, preventing the two Great Saints from attacking the Fighting Saint King together.

Princess Divine Silkworm believed that if they could buy some time, the Fighting Saint King could eliminate one of them and then join forces with the Yao Guang Saint King to suppress the other.

"boom!"

On the battlefield beyond the realm, a terrifying aura emerged, pressing down on the universe and nearly bringing this star field to a standstill. The powerful divine might only slightly descended before shattering numerous meteorites and asteroids.

Kun Zhou was dressed in a moon-white battle suit, his whole body surrounded by immortal light, and a black sun rose and fell between his brows. It was made of black gold with dragon patterns and protected his own immortal platform.

This battle armor is his Dao weapon, a weapon of the Great Sage level.

But the focus now is not on this battle suit, but on the supreme imperial might. Within Kun Zhou's body, strands of immortal light emanate, which is the ancient imperial weapon awakening. The immortal light on the surface of his body is also the light of the supreme path!

This power was truly terrifying to the extreme, overwhelming heaven and earth, overturning all paths, and destroying all tangible things.

Enveloped in celestial light, Kun Zhou stood tall in the starry sky, like an ancient and eternal god. His gray eyes seemed to contain two boundless star domains.

"As expected, a member of the royal family lent an ancient imperial weapon to Kunzhou!"

On several array platforms in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Dao patterns circulated, densely packed and imprinted on them, condensing into a Heaven-Piercing Eye that transmitted back the situation of the outer battlefield, making it truly visible.

When the crowd saw the imperial aura emanating from Kun Zhou, they were not surprised, but their shock remained undiminished.

This matter involves too many forces, making it difficult to remain calm.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the world lost its color, and the entire sky seemed to be about to fall. Everyone under the sky almost crawled on the ground, their hearts filled with extreme fear.

The Great Holy War has begun!

Without any warning, the Fighting Saint King's body surged with imperial might, drawing upon his imperial weapon. He unleashed a punch towards Kunzhou, the chaotic energy surging as if it were about to split the heavens and earth.

"Boom!" The imperial laws also erupted within Kun Zhou's body, and countless strands of immortal light intertwined on his body. He seemed to have merged with the imperial weapon within his body, and his unparalleled divine might pressed forward, resisting the fist power of the Fighting Saint King!

These two invincible Great Saints, both wielding ancient imperial weapons, have countless grudges from the past. Today, it will be either the other who dies or they themselves perish.

The Fighting Saint King threw a punch as a greeting, without testing the waters, and went straight to the point of getting serious.

"Qiang!"

A metallic clang rang out as he drew a black iron rod, its radiant light dazzling and its auspicious colors shimmering, its supreme imperial might sweeping across the heavens.

This is the Imperial Weapon of the Fighting Saint Emperor—the Immortal Iron Cudgel. It was forged from a piece of peerless divine iron and has been an unparalleled weapon since its creation. In the hands of the Saint Emperor, it has slain countless enemies. The mottled and ancient body of the cudgel is filled with the battle aura of fighting against heaven and earth.

The ultimate laws clashed, and the two engaged in combat. Terrifying shockwaves spread across the starry sea, shattering the eternal desolation.

The lineage of the Fighting Saint Ape is born with the potential to become a fighting saint. Once they enter battle mode, they become like a madman, a true god of war.

The old monkey wielded a celestial iron cudgel, and with each swing, the entire star field trembled, and the outer battlefield continuously collapsed, displaying unparalleled divine might.

The clanging sound shook the heavens. The immortal iron rod advanced relentlessly, accompanied by the old monkey's battle roar. Kun Zhou Great Sage retreated repeatedly, avoiding its sharp edge and refusing to clash with the divine iron.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. He had made some arrangements for his royal family by borrowing the imperial weapon, hiding it within his body. He could use the laws of the imperial way, but he couldn't unleash it.

In this situation, Kun Zhou could only avoid colliding with the iron rod. After all, the imperial weapon within his body could collide with the immortal iron rod, but as a Great Sage, if he were grazed by the iron rod, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

This was only because he possessed the Imperial Weapon; otherwise, even a slight brush against him would have allowed the Imperial Laws to instantly kill him.

"Hey!"

Kun Zhou fought and retreated, and finally, he created some distance and was able to make a move.

The Imperial Laws were astonishing, shooting beams of light through Kun Zhou's body, colliding with the Immortal Iron Rod, and the deafening sounds of the Great Dao cleaved the battlefield beyond the realm.

"when!"

The divine sound shook the world; this was a clash of ancient imperial weapons, wielded by two great saints. This battle was earth-shattering.

Kun Zhou Great Sage stabilized his rhythm. Although he continued to fight and retreat, he was not without the power to fight back. Seizing the opportunity, he activated the imperial weapon within his body and unleashed the imperial laws.

Standing in the distance of the starry river, Li Yao felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Kun Zhou Great Sage, this is definitely an invincible Great Sage, not far from being a Quasi-Emperor. If he were to reach this realm, he would be invincible in the world.

An ordinary Great Sage would be no match for him, but the Fighting Saint King is someone who can fight him, and his strength is even greater!
Unable to unleash the imperial weapon, he could only invoke the laws of the imperial path. Coupled with his own cultivation being weaker than that of the Fighting Saint King, defeat was inevitable if the fight continued like this.

Kun Zhou naturally knew this, so he never thought about defeating the Fighting Saint King. All he did was to restrain him. The key to winning this great battle was not in his hands.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying imperial divine might emanated from the distant starry sky, pressing down on Li Yao.

This is an indescribable power, exceeding the limits of comprehension by all living beings in the world. The imperial might is overwhelming, and the imperial laws are astonishing!
The third Great Sage made his move, no longer standing by, and attacked Li Yao!
The reason they waited a while instead of appearing with Kun Zhou was to observe Kun Zhou's strength.

If Kun Zhou were to be so weak as to be killed by the Fighting Saint King with just two blows, then the third Great Saint would pretend not to know anything about it and quietly retreat.

All races have their own selfish motives.

The threat posed by the Fighting Saint King is too great. Not only does he possess the Fighting Saint Emperor's Immortal Iron Cudgel, but he is also the Lord of Mount Sumeru, wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle, and has an intimate relationship with the Divine Silkworm Clan, allowing him to use the Divine Emperor's Battle Armor!

An invincible Great Sage, plus the ability to wield three ancient imperial weapons at any time—such a lineup makes some people uneasy, even sleeping with their eyes open.

At this time, since Kunzhou was willing to form a group, the various royal families were naturally happy to help.

However, since they were going to take action, they had to ensure that everything went perfectly, so the third Great Sage would only step forward if he saw a chance of victory.

For example, right now, that Great Sage sees an opportunity to win.

Kun Zhou was no match for the Fighting Saint King, but he was able to maneuver, fighting and retreating at the same time, seemingly able to stall for a long time.

At this moment, all he needs to do is quickly kill Yao Guang Saint King and then turn his mace to attack Dou Zhan Saint King.

When the two Great Sages attack with two ancient imperial weapons, how will the Fighting Saint King defend himself?
The battlefield beyond the realm was desolate and barren. The terrifying laws of the extreme realm pressed down, and the broken metal warships, the dried remains of saints, and the luminous white skeletons of the gods were all reduced to ashes and scattered under this divine might.

That sea of ​​stars was reduced to nothingness, leaving only the pervasive Imperial Law, which surged towards Li Yao and engulfed him.

"Heh, you've finally made your move. I thought you were gone," Li Yao sneered.

He didn't respond; his figure vanished and reappeared in another starry sky, standing tall in the universe, saying, "Come out, don't hide."

Those in the Ten Thousand Mountains who could see everything on the battlefield outside the region through the array platform were trembling all over.

A third Great Sage has appeared! Kun Zhou was not lying; such a figure truly exists!
Weiwei and Yao Xiyu's bodies were tense, and a look of tension appeared on their beautiful faces.

Both women knew that Li Yao was very powerful, and his combat strength could no longer be measured by his cultivation level.

But the person in the shadows is a Great Sage who also wields an ancient imperial weapon.

Such a duel was extremely dangerous. Even someone as strong as Li Yao would be powerless to turn the tide if he were hit by the imperial weapon.

"boom!"

The Great Sage did not appear in the shadows, but instead unleashed another burst of celestial light, thousands upon thousands of strands, each one thick and large, like a comet streaking across the sky.

"when!"

This time, Li Yao did not dodge, but instead summoned the Dragon Pattern Cauldron. The black cauldron body radiated dark light, and its mouth spewed out a star field, colliding with the oncoming comet.

This was a collision of the laws of the imperial path, creating countless Dao traces. This starry sky exploded, the outer battlefield shattered into pieces, and two figures were sent flying backward. The place of the collision had already turned into a black hole.

On another battlefield, Kun Zhou's heart tightened. He had been paying attention to another battlefield and felt uneasy after seeing Li Yao display such divine power.

Although it is a battle of supreme imperial weapons, the person wielding the weapon is also crucial, and to a large extent determines the power that the imperial weapon can unleash.

Li Yao's attack just now was absolutely no less powerful than the ultimate attack unleashed by a Great Sage wielding an imperial weapon!
"Damn it!" Kun Zhou cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that his ally would quickly kill Yao Guang Saint King and then come to join him in suppressing the old monkey.

In the northern region, amidst the vast mountains, people trembled, sensing the terrifying imperial might. Despite the great distance, they felt as if the mountains could be attacked at any moment.

"They've finally shown their true colors."

On the battlefield beyond the borders, Li Yao steadied himself and looked towards the other side of the battlefield. Through that weapon, he knew the identity of the person who had come.

It was a figure shrouded in golden divine light, holding a golden mace in his hand. The supreme divine might of the Dao was overwhelming, crushing the heavens and causing the Great Dao to roar. The mace was flowing with countless strands of immortal light.
