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

Chapter 312 Slaying the Great Sage (Includes a bonus chapter for 3000 monthly votes in July)

Longma watched from the side, his mouth watering. The miraculous power of the seventh-order evolution fluid made him feel as if every pore on his body was opening up, and he was about to ascend to heaven.

In particular, it had experienced the power of the strongest evolution fluid, the third and fourth tier evolution fluid, which allowed it to break through multiple minor realms in succession.

Now, Longma knows without a doubt how powerful the effects of this seventh-tier evolution fluid are.

"Boom!"

The crimson aura surged into the sky, like a galaxy, dyeing this sea of ​​stars crimson. Each strand was like a mountain range, incredibly heavy, causing countless meteorites to shatter, unable to withstand such fluctuations.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"...

Longma couldn't help but retreat. This kind of blood energy was too powerful for it to withstand. Its body felt like it was being torn apart, so it could only stay far away.

At this moment, Li Yao was like a human torch, his blood and qi burning fiercely like flames, causing the void to distort and be unable to withstand such powerful blood and qi.

The effects of the seventh-order evolution fluid exceeded his expectations, being countless times more powerful than the sixth-order evolution fluid. A surge of divine energy rushed into his body, seemingly endless.

At the same time, endless Daoist principles flowed through his heart, providing him with opportunities for enlightenment, while the essence of divinity also strengthened his origin.

This is a comprehensive evolution, beyond imagination, where the body's treasures are unlocked and its potential is unleashed.

"That's terrifying. Who can stop him now?" Longma exclaimed from a distance.

He was already an unparalleled genius, unmatched in both combat power and potential. The seventh-tier evolution fluid will undoubtedly make him even stronger. Now, he's probably not far from becoming invincible in the starry sky.

Longma felt that the so-called Ancient Star Road, which gathered the geniuses of the entire universe, was nothing more than this; there couldn't possibly be any more monstrous existences.

In fact, they all felt that Li Yao's trip to the ancient road was not for training, but to let everyone see what a truly peerless genius was like.

Longma felt sorry for the prodigies of the ancient road, especially the more extraordinary ones. They were amazing enough, but in the end they would find that there was always a mountain standing in their way, and no matter how hard they tried or how much they used, they could never cross it.

Even just thinking about it evokes a painful sense of empathy.

wrong!

Longma felt that he was sick. He was one of the victims. He was suppressed and subdued by Li Yao. At first, he wanted to resist, thinking that with his talent, he would surpass Li Yao sooner or later. But he gave up time and time again. He still remembers that feeling vividly.

Therefore, it seems to be even more able to foresee the tragedy that awaits the prodigies of the ancient road.

Children, it's also your bad luck that you live in the same era as such a great demon, and you're destined to be overpowered.

Longma was lost in thought, sensing that things wouldn't end so quickly with Li Yao, so he found a place to lie down and began to stabilize his cultivation level.

Li Yao was very generous, giving the dragon horse a portion of the strongest third and fourth-tier evolution fluid, which greatly improved its cultivation, allowing it to break through three minor realms. It is now a cultivator at the eighth level of the Dao Severing Realm, much stronger than in the original story.

However, although his cultivation level has increased, there are also some drawbacks. He has cultivated too quickly and has not had a good chance to fully comprehend the mysteries of the realm. He needs to spend time to make up for this shortcoming.

After all, unlike Li Yao, whose cultivation was profound, the use of the evolution fluid primarily extracted divine energy, and only secondarily refined physical constitution and facilitated enlightenment, with little impact on their foundation. Ordinary people, however, prioritized enlightenment, with strengthening their physique and acquiring massive amounts of divine energy being secondary.

This feels a bit like forcing growth, so ordinary people should stop for a while after using the strongest evolution fluid to stabilize their current realm. Otherwise, they may end up like the cultivators of Eternal Star.

On the desolate asteroid, a man and a horse were diligently cultivating, their life force, like divine flames, illuminating this star field.

In the distance, in the vast expanse of the starry sky, an ancient warship pierces through the void, heading towards the Big Dipper.

The warship was enormous, measuring ten thousand feet in length and three thousand feet in width. It was entirely cast in black divine gold and inscribed with numerous profound runes, radiating brilliant light and standing out conspicuously in the dark universe.

From afar, the black warship resembled a true dragon soaring through the universe, extremely flamboyant. Wherever it passed, the stars lost their light. Its agile figure swam gracefully, domineering and incomparably powerful, smashing countless meteorites.

"How far is it from the Big Dipper, where the Path to Immortality is located?" In the cabin of the ship, which resembled a heavenly palace, an extremely powerful being asked the person beside him.

"Reporting to the Ancient God, according to the star map, we are still forty-eight star domains away from the ancient star of the Big Dipper." The person being questioned answered quickly and without hesitation, clearly having a great understanding of the starry sky.

"Move at full speed. The path to immortality is about to open. If we are late, all the best spots will be taken." The powerful being said indifferently.

"As ordered!"

The creatures on other parts of the warship responded with magnificent voices, like the voices of the Great Dao, all of whom were saints.

"Boom!"

The black warship runes flickered, and the collapsing void transformed into propulsive forces, accelerating the warship's movement.

This method does not achieve the purpose of teleportation by distorting the void, but is more like a way to speed up travel and use the void as an aid.

It must be said that the universe is vast and boundless, and the methods are all different. For example, eternity and the stargate of teleportation are like a masterpiece that is half science fiction and half fantasy.

This warship, however, has a different style. It uses the void as its propulsion and will gradually increase its speed as long as it doesn't stop, eventually entering the inner void to fly.

In science fiction terms, it's called subspace, where the structure of time and space differs from the void, and flight speed is greatly increased, making it an essential tool for traveling.

The black battlefield tore through the void, and the cracks grew larger and larger until the entire warship was about to enter them.

But just then, the ancient god spoke up, "Wait a moment."

The warship shuddered slightly and came to an abrupt stop. The hull remained stable and was not torn apart by the enormous kinetic energy of the sudden stop.

As the black warship came to a stop, the void gradually closed, halting the process of entering the inner void.

"Ancient God, what's wrong?" Inside the warship, a saint dressed in azure battle armor asked in confusion.

In the Heavenly Palace, the ancient god sat on an imperial throne with nine dragons coiled around him. He was tall, even when sitting, he was as tall as an ordinary person. Wearing a heavy black battle armor, he appeared even more imposing, like a demonic mountain.

He looked no different from ordinary people, in human form, but there was a crack between his eyebrows, like a wound, or like a closed eye.

"Such powerful blood and energy!" The ancient god looked at another star field with some surprise.

There, powerful energy surged into the sky, illuminating that entire star field and transforming it into a terrifying crimson starry sky.

"Shh!"

A burst of divine light exploded, shooting out a golden beam, brilliant and solid, like a sharp sword piercing through the void.

"Sky Eye!"

"What on earth could have caused the ancient god to open his heavenly eye and observe?!"

The other powerful creatures on the warship were greatly alarmed.

The ancient god race is born with three eyes, also known as the Three-Eyed Clan. The eyes are located between the eyebrows and are not visible at birth, making them no different from ordinary people. However, as their cultivation level increases, this third eye can open, allowing them to see the heavens above and explore the netherworld below, making them incomparably powerful.

With his Heavenly Eye open, the ancient god's gaze extended to another star field, where the scenery became detailed in his eyes, and even the smallest speck of dust became visible.

Suddenly, the ancient god trembled, and his third eye between his eyebrows opened wide, revealing various strange phenomena, such as flying Rakshasa, gods wielding spears, and saints preaching.

These are all traces of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, revealed because they were pierced by the gaze.

This also means that the Heavenly Eye was pushed to its limit by the ancient gods.

Finally, the ancient god saw clearly that somewhere in that star field, there were signs of the birth and destruction of the universe, with various Dao rhythms flowing and full of traces of the intertwining of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

On a desolate asteroid, various divine lights float, each light particle resembling a world stone formed after the asteroid's destruction.

Furthermore, the primordial aura, the aura of destiny, and the divine essence of the 100,000-year-old Medicine King were all condensed together and refined into a divine liquid, brimming with the aura of life.

"This is..." The ancient god was shocked and could not remain calm. The strength of that divine liquid was so clear that it could be seen even from across a star field. If one were to stand in it personally, one could imagine what kind of fortune it would bring.

"Change direction, head that way at top speed, quick!" the ancient god shouted, pointing in a direction and urging him on.

Seeing this, the other powerful beings dared not delay and quickly steered their warships to change course, rapidly advancing in the direction the ancient god had pointed.

"Hey!"

The warship tore through the void and entered the inner void. Instantly, the structure of time and space changed, and the warship moved forward at a speed many times faster than the speed of light.

"Faster!" the ancient god urged. After entering the inner void, even his divine eyes could not penetrate it and he could not see the scene there, so he was extremely anxious.

His instincts told him that the divine liquid was extremely powerful and could enable him to evolve; it was a rare and precious object in the universe.

This is an opportunity. If he can seize it, he will have a greater chance of success on his path to immortality. Who knows, he might actually be able to enter the Immortal Realm and become an immortal.

The ancient god felt that this was Heaven's help; otherwise, why would such a divine object appear just as he was about to reach the path to immortality?

However, one thing made him uneasy: that powerful blood and energy was being refined by a powerful expert. What if he was too slow and the divine liquid was already refined?

The ancient god's heart was bleeding, as if seeing his treasure being enjoyed by others was a pain that made his heart ache.

That was all he felt; as for making enemies, that was completely outside the scope of the ancient gods' considerations.

As an ancient god of Titan, he reigned supreme for three thousand years, undefeated in the surrounding star systems, and throughout the entire universe, few could rival him. What was there to fear in a battle?

"Shh!"

The warship tore through the void, appeared in the sea of ​​stars, and descended upon the crimson star field.

Upon arriving here, the ancient god opened his Heavenly Eye once more, seeing even more. His Heavenly Eye blazed open in fury, and the scene before him was the worst possible outcome.

The divine liquid is actually being refined by someone!
"stop!"

The ancient god roared, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he burst out of the warship. His powerful aura erupted, causing the entire star field to tremble.

He was clad in black armor, and like a meteorite, he crashed onto the desolate asteroid.

"boom!"

The sky collapsed and the asteroid shattered into pieces. Unable to withstand such a heavy blow, it exploded into molten lava, rising into the starry sky like a firework.

Longma was shocked. Suppressing his trembling body, he transformed into a crimson flame and unleashed his fastest speed ever, rushing to Li Yao's side.

At this moment, among all the areas surrounding this asteroid, only this place remained safe and unaffected by the terrifying divine energy.

"Hey!"

The sword's cry resounded throughout the nine heavens, its holy might overwhelming, pressing down on heaven and earth, containing the flow of the sun and moon, as if an ancient universe were pressing down.

This sea of ​​stars was in turmoil, as if it were about to be overturned. The universe was turning upside down, and endless void rifts stretched from where the blade had cut to the end of the sea of ​​stars.

It was clearly just a battle sword, yet it manifested such extraordinary phenomena, demonstrating the immense divine power of the person wielding it and the profound understanding of the laws of nature.

"You little thief, stop refining my divine liquid!" the ancient god roared, unleashing boundless divine laws and countless Dao traces that pressed down on the starry sea, causing it to rumble.

Li Yao remained unmoved, still sitting cross-legged in the jade pool, refining the divine liquid. He was enveloped in seven-colored divine light, like a god with his eyes closed, unmoved even if he were to suffer countless calamities.

"when!"

But when the battle blade struck down, it was blocked by a celestial furnace. Sparks flew everywhere, and at the point of impact, boundless destruction ensued. Powerful divine energy created countless small worlds in an instant, but the next moment, they were destroyed by the vast ocean of divine energy.

It takes a long time for a sage to create a small world and achieve success.

At this moment, the mere clash between the battle blade and the immortal furnace has unleashed such a terrifying spectacle, creating dozens of small worlds that are then rapidly destroyed.

Such a scene is so vivid that it's no exaggeration to say that it signifies the birth and destruction of a new world!
"boom!"

The immortal furnace trembled, and various immortal lights erupted, blocking all the destructive power and causing it to surge back towards the ancient god, preventing Li Yao from being disturbed.

Today, the Immortal Gold Furnace has long possessed extraordinary power. Although Li Yao rarely uses it, it is not because it is not powerful enough, but because it is not useful for ordinary opponents. For those who are far stronger than him, the Dragon Pattern Cauldron is required.

Therefore, the Immortal Gold Furnace has very little screen time, but Li Yao has always been very clear that the Immortal Gold Furnace is the weapon that can accompany him to the end, an extension of his life. He has been silently refining it all along, allowing his life and body to be intertwined.

Today, this weapon has displayed its divine power, standing firm against the collapse of the heavens.

"A divine furnace forged from various ancient emperor-exclusive refining materials!"

"Dragon-patterned black gold, phoenix blood crimson gold, divine mark purple gold... and the rare source of all things' primordial energy!"

On the distant warships, countless people gasped in astonishment, staring incredulously at the Immortal Furnace.

This is a true divine object, beyond imagination. Someone in the world actually found so much celestial gold and forged it into a divine furnace.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the furnace, even the ancient gods.

This is a furnace nearly half a zhang tall, emitting six-colored immortal light, extremely beautiful. It has dragon patterns, phoenix seal script, divine marks, and Dao tribulations on it, all depicted as mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, simple and natural, but full of immortal charm.

What were originally just common images have become, due to the mysterious traces of several kinds of immortal metals, that the scenes are not like those of the mortal world, but rather like those of the immortal realm.

Such a divine object would tempt even the Great Emperor, let alone them.

"Excellent! Excellent! Heaven is truly helping me!" The ancient god shouted excitedly, and his battle blade slashed down once more.

At the same time, his third eye between his eyebrows opened, transforming into a black hole that frantically devoured the essence of the universe, draining the essence of this star field to enhance his own combat power.

The Heavenly Eye is not only capable of keen insight, but it also enhances one's combat power, making it an unparalleled offensive talent. It is through this ability that the Heavenly Eye Clan has dominated the area surrounding the Titan Starfield for generations.

At this moment, as the Heavenly Eye was activated, various wondrous scenes appeared, and countless Dao traces spread out, transforming into chains of divine order that shot towards Li Yao, aiming to pierce his body.

Such power was as if a god had descended to earth. The dragon horse trembled and could only curl up into a ball, hiding behind Li Yao.

It wasn't that it was cowardly, but rather that the enemy was too terrifying, having traveled extremely far in the Holy Realm; it was a Great Saint who had just broken through.

Such beings are rare in the entire starry sky, and on their respective ancient stars, they are worshipped as gods.

"Shh!"

Li Yao opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, seemingly containing the rise and fall of the sun, moon, and stars throughout the ages, deep and boundless.

At this moment, he was immersed in the Dao realm, his whole being like a vessel of the Dao, and his eyes, as the connection between the outer world and the inner world, contained an unknown amount of Dao charm.

He stared directly at the slashing sword and the divine chains of the Great Dao shooting towards him, without panic. He simply silently activated the "Soldier's Secret Technique" to control the Immortal Gold Furnace to fly over and hover above his and the dragon horse's heads.

"Buzz!"

The furnace vibrated, and countless strands of Dao light fell down, like a vast universe of stars. A true dragon revived, roaring across the heavens and earth; a true phoenix spread its wings, divine flames burned the sky; a god held a brush, inscribing Dao patterns; Dao tribulations permeated the area, intertwining the fields; a goddess shed tears, forming a barrier; countless strands of primordial energy, the Xuanhuang indestructible!
At the same time, a Myriad Dao Furnace appeared, and with a sudden tremor, a holy light domain unfolded, combining with the field erupted by the Immortal Gold Furnace, transforming the area within three zhang around it into a domain impervious to all laws!
At this moment, all external divine power was isolated. Within these three zhang, there was an indestructible sacred domain that no being could break through, making it virtually indestructible.

Endless sword light swept across, and the Great Dao Divine Chain shot out, colliding violently with the Holy Domain. Various destructive lights intertwined, and this sea of ​​stars collapsed, shattering into pieces. Chaotic energy surged, and this place seemed to be evolving the wonders of the creation of heaven and earth.

The great Dao resounded throughout heaven and earth, and a terrible collision erupted here, causing various signs of world destruction.

In the distance, the creatures on the warship were terrified. Even though they were incredibly far away, the aura was still suffocating. Many creatures prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies and spirits feeling as if they were about to split apart.

Even saints were not much better off, almost kneeling on the ground. They were only separated by the Dao patterns on the warship; otherwise, they would have been forced to prostrate themselves.

"How could this happen?!"

They were terrified. They had always believed that the ancient gods were invincible, but now they had encountered an adversary!
"Get out of here now, or I'll spare your lives; otherwise, I'll kill you all!"

A vast divine thought swept across the starry sea, emanating from that devastated land, resounding powerfully like metal clashing.

At the center of the land of destruction, the three-zhang sacred domain was indestructible. Even when faced with the full force of a Great Sage's attack, it remained unscathed and unmoved.

"How is this possible?!" The ancient god exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

With his strength, how could things have turned out this way when he was fighting a Saint King who was sitting still?

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the Immortal Gold Furnace, revealing a knowing look and a deep greed.

"Yes, the divine furnace forged with six kinds of supreme immortal metals should be this powerful, possessing unimaginable might."

Retreat! How could we possibly retreat? There has always been a legend that by gathering all nine kinds of immortal metals, one can forge an immortal artifact.

Now, there is a furnace forged from six kinds of supreme immortal metals. Apart from the source of all things' primordial energy, it contains five of the nine great immortal metals. Such a divine object is a gift from heaven; if you do not take it, you will suffer the consequences.

The ancient god has gone mad. Whether it's divine liquid or immortal gold furnace, they are both rare divine objects throughout the ages. As long as he obtains them, he can achieve the Great Dao and enter the Immortal Realm. How can he not have an immortal artifact?

"Roar!"

The ancient god roared, his body bursting forth with divine light, eternal and immortal. The holy blood within him surged and raged like a vast ocean under a raging storm. His eyes, like two stars, shot out brilliant divine light, illuminating the land of destruction.

This is a sign of madness, igniting the source of power, unleashing extreme combat strength in a short period of time, even if it weakens for a while afterward.

"boom!"

The ancient god activated his divine technique, causing the entire universe to lose its color, starlight to dim, and blood energy to permeate the heavens. "You're courting death!"

Li Yao's voice was icy cold. He only had a little mental energy left to operate the Myriad Dao Furnace. The Soldier's Secret and the Holy Light Domain were simultaneously activated and connected with the Immortal Gold Furnace to power the Three-Zhang Holy Domain and resist the ancient god's attack.

Then, he began to frantically absorb the divine essence of the seventh-order evolution fluid, aiming to complete his transformation in a short period of time.

"Crack!"

As he did this, fine cracks began to appear on his body, like porcelain about to shatter.

However, at the same time, the Passive Word Secret and the True Phoenix Undying Technique were activated, repairing the injuries to the body and stabilizing the body that was about to collapse.

The seventh-order evolution fluid contains too much divine matter; it is a divine object in the universe, but it is also extremely powerful.

To temper one's body with this divine object, one must absorb it slowly; otherwise, its domineering divine essence could turn a person into a Daoist.

But at this moment, Li Yao could no longer care about so much. The process of cleansing his body with the divine liquid could not be interrupted. Once he left the jade pool, the divine essence in his body would disappear, and all that he had absorbed before would dissipate as a massive amount of divine energy, resulting in a complete failure.

Li Yao would certainly not make such a choice, so the only option left for him now is to absorb it fiercely and refine all the divine essence into his body in a short period of time.

At this moment, Li Yao truly envied those who could obtain a certificate forever, keeping their bodies at their peak at all times, and never falling back down once they reached that point.

Strictly speaking, this is the most powerful cheat code; as long as you work hard, you can become stronger steadily and quickly.

Although the Heavenly Book Hanging is powerful, it doesn't have the ability to grant permanent proof, at least not yet. Otherwise, he could have simply killed these people.

However, it doesn't matter. The three-zhang sacred domain can hold out for a while, and this time is enough for him to refine as much divine liquid as possible.

Once the refining is complete and one's hands are free, a mere ancient god can be crushed with a flick of the wrist.

"Boom!"

The three-zhang sacred domain, constantly attacked by the crazed ancient saint, began to tremble slightly. Even a star field could not withstand the great saint's fierce bombardment. Although the sacred domain was indestructible, it ultimately had its limits.

However, although the Holy Land was shaking, it remained sturdy and showed no signs of collapse, so it could hold on for a while longer.

Longma swallowed nervously, glancing at Li Yao, who was frantically refining the divine essence and whose body was constantly being destroyed and repaired, and then at the ancient god in the distance who was going mad. He could only hope that everything was still in time.

It is a majestic auspicious beast, the exclusive mount of ancient emperors, and it is truly undesirable for it to perish prematurely before it has even reigned supreme over the universe.

In the distance, the ancient saints on the warships, seeing this, knew that this was a war against time.

The person undergoing transformation is unimaginably powerful. Wherever he stands now, his sacred domain is enough to withstand attacks from ancient gods. Once the transformation is complete, what awaits them is utter annihilation.

"Fire the Saint-Slaying Cannon and attack that sacred realm together with the Ancient God," a Saint King clad in golden armor commanded.

"Yes!" the other ancient saints responded and began to maneuver the warship.

"Buzz!"

The massive warship trembled, and the engraved Dao patterns glowed, as if they were a tangible manifestation of the Dao. The entire warship resembled a resurrected savage beast, causing the void to collapse.

"Crack!"

At the bow, the deck opens up, revealing a cannon barrel with a diameter of a thousand feet, which absorbs the essence of the starry sea, making this star field dim and without light.

Endless energy flowed towards the muzzle of the cannon, where it grew increasingly intense, accumulating a vast amount of divine power.

The Sacred Cannon is the warship's most lethal weapon. As its name suggests, even a Saint King would perish if hit by it.

But this is difficult to achieve because the Holy Cannon needs some time to charge up, and the Holy King is not stupid enough to just stand there and wait for you to hit him.

Therefore, although the Sacred Cannon was incredibly powerful, its results were rather embarrassing.

In the past, the Sacred Killer Cannon lived up to its name, its main function being to destroy planets. It would be more accurate to call it the Planet Destroyer Cannon than the Sacred Killer Cannon.

But now, the situation that Killing the Holy Cannon needs to face is exactly what a sitting, motionless being needs to do.

This seems to be no different from destroying a planet.

"boom!"

As the brief energy storage ended, a beam of light that reached the heavens and the earth, capable of destroying everything, shot out. Wherever it went, everything was destroyed; meteorites and asteroids crumbled upon contact.

"Boom!"

The violent collision caused the sacred domain to shake even more noticeably, the star field dimmed, and the interwoven light of the Dao flickered uncertainly.

"Continue the attack." The ancient god was overjoyed, and the frequency of the attacks increased, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

In the distance, after firing a shot, the warship moved to a star field rich in energy to continue recharging.

Longma was breathing heavily, with two jets of air, like dragons, constantly moving in and out of his mouth and nose.

It was extremely uneasy, sensing that the Holy Domain was about to collapse, but it did not make a sound, knowing that Li Yao was already absorbing the divine essence at full power, and if he absorbed it even more fiercely, his body might not be able to withstand it.

No matter how powerful the "Zhe" Secret Technique and the True Phoenix Immortal Technique are, they still require the caster to have a breath left. If they are destroyed in an instant, then even the most powerful divine technique will be useless.

After all, even a true phoenix can perish; what divine art in this world truly grants immortality?

"Crack!"

The sound of his body shattering became more rapid. Li Yao could sense the changes in the outside world, so he fought even harder.

The divine chains woven from the secret of the character "者" (Zhe) quickly stitched up the fine cracks like needle and thread, while the True Phoenix Immortal Technique ignited immortal flames to heal the injuries within the body.

If the people of the Eternal Starfield saw him absorbing the divine liquid like this, they would probably be heartbroken to the point of vomiting blood.

The most important aspect of divine essence is to comprehend its Daoist principles, to experience the divine treasures that burst forth between the birth and destruction of stars, and at the same time, to allow divine matter to slowly transform the body, so that essence, energy, and spirit can be promoted together.

Li Yao's actions at this moment are simply like a cow chewing on a peony—a shameful waste.

Moreover, the seventh-order evolution fluid is a heaven-defying divine object. If absorbed slowly, it is an invaluable healing divine object that can restore hidden injuries in the body.

However, extremes beget their opposites; the more aggressively one absorbs the medicine, the more it can turn a healing remedy into a deadly poison.

But Li Yao had no other choice at this point. He believed he could withstand it. After all, he had achieved this level of success through daily cultivation. If he didn't even have the determination to fight to the death now, all his cultivation would be in vain in the end.

The divine liquid rippling in the jade pool was decreasing, turning into seven-colored mist that frantically penetrated his pores. At this moment, Li Yao was like a seven-colored god, with every part of his body shrouded in seven-colored divine mist, even the most dangerous forehead bone platform.

With powerful enemies surrounding us, how can we find a way to survive if we don't push ourselves?

"Roar!"

The ancient god roared repeatedly, and in the distant star field, meteorite clusters exploded one after another, turning into dazzling fireworks.

The black armor hummed with metallic vibrations, radiating holy light that seemed to be squeezing into the massive body of the ancient god.

The broadswords clashed and roared, and the deities within them roared, radiating countless strands of blazing divine light, merging with their master and reaching their peak at the same time, ready to cleave this world in two.

It is clearly a living being of flesh and blood, not a massive celestial body.

But at this moment, the ancient god's every move caused this starry sky to collapse, as if two different star regions, after a long time, were finally coming together.

The asteroids and stars within the star field collided repeatedly, eventually reaching their end, while a celestial being capable of swallowing the sun and moon roared amidst the destruction.

"Hey!"

The battle blade cleaved down, shattering the heavens. If anyone from other star systems were here at this moment, they would surely witness this terrifying sight.

The star field where the battle took place was completely destroyed, empty and devoid of anything. Only endless void rifts emanated destructive winds, and the immense mass generated by countless exploding celestial bodies caused countless black holes to be born and collide with each other.

Undoubtedly, this is world-ending; even warships dare not approach and can only keep their distance.

"Boom!"

Finally, the sacred realm, which had stood firm for so long, shattered. The Immortal Gold Furnace and the battle blade collided, producing a deafening sound.

With a clang, the two extremely powerful weapons collided, and the sparks that erupted were as large as meteors, scattering into the distance.

This means that this star field has already been destroyed; otherwise, it would likely be another scene of countless meteorites and asteroids being destroyed.

"boom!"

The Immortal Gold Furnace flew backwards. This time, it was finally unable to withstand the attack. It was just a weapon. Although powerful, it still needed the support of its master to unleash its invincible power.

At this moment, the support Li Yao provided was clearly insufficient, and the Immortal Gold Furnace itself was naturally unable to stop a Great Sage who was burning his very essence.

"It's over!" Ryoma struggled to stay upright, refusing to give in even as he faced death.

Don't be fooled by its shamelessness; that's just its personality, and it doesn't mean it lacks the will to fight to the death.

Even if it means death, it must be a standing death, so as not to betray the heroic spirit of the Dragon Horse Demon Emperor.

"Crack!"

Another soft cracking sound rang out, drawing the dragon horse's gaze, which immediately filled it with ecstatic joy.

The seven-colored divine liquid was no longer in the jade pool; it had all been absorbed by Li Yao.

"Boom!"

The heavens collapsed, and the aura of destruction enveloped this star field. A vast sea of ​​lightning appeared out of nowhere, and in just a moment, even the ancient god who had just raised his battle sword was stunned.

"Thunder Tribulation?!"

His expression changed drastically as he looked at Li Yao. He saw that the injuries covering Li Yao's entire body, enough to kill even a Great Sage several times over, were rapidly healing. At the same time, Li Yao's aura was becoming stronger and stronger, like a resurrected true dragon.

The hibernating dragon has been awakened from its slumber; a single roar shakes the Milky Way!

"You can die now." A hoarse voice rang out, as if a thousand wounds had been slashed across his throat.

Li Yao's face was covered with fine cracks, from which divine light shone. If you looked closely, even his eyeballs were like that, with countless cracks.

But at this moment, the powerful aura reached its peak. Despite being a wounded person, he was incredibly imposing. Even the ancient god, whose calm mind was rippled, was moved.

"You didn't kill me just now, now it's my turn to kill you." Li Yao continued his verbal sparring, while in reality he was frantically activating the Secret of the Word "Zhe", True Phoenix Nirvana, and True Phoenix Immortal Technique to recover from his injuries.

The trauma is already there, and his condition will not return to its peak just because he has absorbed the seventh-tier evolution fluid.

Li Yao's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing that the time was right, he moved his fingers slightly and cleaved open a void rift, sending the dragon horse away.

"Trying to fool me? With your current state, what fighting power do you have?" The ancient god was stunned for a moment, then recovered, and the surging divine energy within him erupted, wanting to raise his sword to slash.

But at that moment, a pillar of lightning carrying overwhelming heavenly might struck down, engulfing Li Yao.

The ancient god was startled, stopped his attack with his sword, and retreated frantically.

If he attacks his opponent when the tribulation of lightning descends, he will surely be locked onto by the heavenly tribulation, thus incurring his own calamity.

Not long ago, he had barely survived the Great Saint Tribulation, a near-death experience, and he really didn't want to go through that again.

But in that moment of hesitation, Li Yao frantically absorbed the surging essence contained in the lightning tribulation, and his injured body instantly recovered more than 30%.

What others would avoid like the lightning tribulation was, for him, a rare and invaluable tonic.

"Oh no, the ancient god has been tricked by the Heavenly Dao." In the distance, the beings on the warship who witnessed this scene all had this thought.

The ancient god glared angrily, like a wild beast ready to devour its prey, but the opportunity had already passed, and regret was useless now.

Moreover, he really didn't want to undergo another tribulation of lightning.

Unfortunately, this opportunity ultimately ended up with him empty-handed because of his repeated missed opportunities.

The ancient gods regretted it too late.

But the mistake has already been made, and now is not the time for regrets; we must take this opportunity to leave.

He knew that some madmen would use their own tribulations to deal with their enemies.

"Is it too late to leave now?" Li Yao sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​lightning, frantically absorbing the power of the lightning to heal his injuries. His hideous wounds were rapidly recovering.

"boom!"

He calmly rose, and his powerful battle body trembled, causing the heavens and earth to collapse. It was as if the world could not contain his body, and huge spatial rifts spread from the edge of his battle body into the depths of the starry sea.

When the lightning bolts struck his body, they only produced a few sparks.

This kind of combat power, which was many times stronger than before, fascinated Li Yao.

However, upon seeing the ancient god rush into the warship, he also took a step and instantly unleashed his divine speed, causing time and space to become disordered.

The even more powerful Xingzi Secret Mantra manifested its power in an instant, allowing him to leave the sea of ​​thunder and descend into the star field where the warship was located.

The person undergoing tribulation managed to shake off the lightning and appear outside the heavenly tribulation. What does that mean? Even the lightning couldn't catch up with him!

In other words, as long as Li Yao wants, he can run all over the universe, with the tribulation lightning chasing after him. After a few days, the tribulation will dissipate, and he will have survived the great tribulation.

"Oh my god, is this real?!"

"How could such a thing happen?"

The people on the warship were stunned, but in an instant, their shock turned to terror.

Because a sea of ​​lightning descended from the sky...

"what……"

A chorus of screams erupted as countless lives were instantly annihilated by the sweeping lightning, their bodies scattered across the sea of ​​stars. Strangely, however, their bodies did not turn to ashes but were remarkably well preserved.

The massive warship also disintegrated, struck by lightning, its defensive measures rendered useless, and it crumbled like a bubble, with flames engulfing the sea of ​​lightning.

Apart from the ancient gods, all living beings perished instantly when the sea of ​​thunder descended.

"what……"

Even the ancient gods were screaming in agony as they were engulfed by the sea of ​​lightning, their bodies exploding, blood and bones splattering everywhere.

This kind of tribulation lightning is even stronger than the Great Holy Tribulation of the Ancient Gods; its power is truly terrifying.

However, this lightning tribulation was merely a minor tribulation for Li Yao.

"Spare my life, and I will submit to you, be branded with your primordial spirit, and become your servant!" the ancient god roared, begging for mercy frantically.

He had only recently broken through to the Great Sage realm, and his lifespan was still long. He hadn't yet enjoyed his newfound lifespan or entered the Immortal Realm. How could he be willing to perish like this?

For this, he was willing to degenerate, abandon his dignity, become a servant, and be at the beck and call of others.

Unfortunately, Li Yao didn't care. The only way to quell his anger was to kill this person.

He values ​​his own people highly, even his servants.

Keeping the ancient god around would only be annoying, nothing more.

"Unfortunately, if you had encountered the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, you might have been able to survive, but here, death is the only option."

Li Yao activated the Thunder Dao Law, transforming into the Heavenly Realm, controlling the Thunder Tribulation, which transformed into a giant bell, enveloping the ancient god.

"when!"

The thunderous bell resounded throughout the heavens, gods and demons roared, a fierce wind arose, and the chaotic gods howled, unleashing their divine power to annihilate the ancient gods.

The great sage, before even ruling the world, met his untimely end, leaving behind a desolate and frustrating conclusion.

This is the greed in people's hearts, which often leads people to fall into the deepest hell. Once the mind is blinded, death is not far away.

Li Yao regained his composure, sat down cross-legged, and let the boundless lightning engulf him, using this opportunity to comprehend the laws of lightning.
