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

Chapter 315 Qing Shi
Ryoma was extremely excited.

Along the way, it has endured many trials and tribulations, and has faced life-or-death situations.

After years of bloody battles, the drawbacks originally caused by the evolution fluid have been eliminated.

Now, we have finally reached the end and passed through that cruel trial.

There's a feeling that the hard times are finally over.

The firelight flickered as the dragon-horse excitedly raced through the heavens, each step causing the starry sea to tremble. After running for several days, it came to see dozens of ancient steles guiding the way, pointing ahead.

Upon arriving here, all the trial paths gradually come together, and other people begin to appear, making the place no longer desolate.

"Ow..."

The roar of a savage beast rang out, and a powerful divine sense spread out, along with blood and qi, like smoke rising from a wolf's mouth.

Li Yao glanced at them but didn't pay much attention. These people had actually emerged from other trial paths and were all the most amazing geniuses of an ancient star.

They were all exhausted, and some of their armor was tattered, but their spirits and the brilliance in their eyes were undiminished.

This is not hard to understand. These people may eventually become ordinary, but at this moment, they are at the most confident moment of their lives.

They were already among the most outstanding talents of their respective ancient stars, and now they have fought their way through the trial path and are about to head to the ancient road for the final battle for the Emperor's Road. It's normal for them to be a little proud.

Regardless of whether they ultimately reach the top, achieving these things means they have surpassed 99% of the world's population.

Everyone had ambition in their eyes; they looked at each other, their eyes filled with eagerness.

Having fought countless battles across their respective ancient stars without ever being defeated, will these people now be their match?
Li Yao ignored these people, but almost everyone else noticed him.

Many prodigies have mounts, such as Suanni, Golden Hou, Divine Jiao, Qilin Dragon, etc., all of which have powerful bloodlines flowing through their bodies.

These mounts are all powerful, but it depends on who they are compared to.

Compared to Longma, it is far inferior.

The dragon-horse is an auspicious creature, the exclusive mount of ancient emperors. This alone makes it hard not to attract attention.

At such a time, it's impossible to find a hothead. One overconfident prodigy stepped forward and looked at Li Yao provocatively.

"Your horse is nice, I'll take it."

The young man appeared to be in his early twenties, tall and very robust, wearing a black, ferocious dragon armor, and riding a divine tiger. His aura was extremely domineering.

Wei Bi, as the strongest prodigy of this generation on Tianqu Star, possesses exceptional talent. From the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation, he was invincible among his peers, defeating all his adversaries, thus setting off on the path of trials, and ultimately emerging victorious.

It can be said that at this moment, both his physical condition and his fighting spirit have reached their peak.

When people enjoy favorable circumstances for too long, they naturally become arrogant and think they are invincible.

This is not arrogance, but genuine confidence.

Looking at the spirited young man, Li Yao was not angry, understanding the other's current state of mind.

This is a clueless young man who doesn't know the vastness of the universe and lives in a world limited by his own limited understanding.

Li Yao had no intention of indulging this kind of person. He wasn't the person's biological father, and arrogance would come at a price.

Of course, he couldn't make a move; instead, he left the dragon horse's back.

It would be beneath him to make a move if he, a mere half-saint, were to interfere. Since the other party wants Longma, then let Longma handle it.

"boom!"

Clearly, although he didn't say anything, Longma understood Li Yao's meaning, and its hooves were itching to get closer to such an arrogant person.

"boom!"

His wild and domineering blood surged wildly, and his crimson divine energy soared into the sky. The dragon horse transformed into a streak of blood lightning and sped off at incredible speed.

Its speed is very fast, second only to the Xingzi Secret, making it one of the fastest speeds in the world.

Moreover, Li Yao was not a stingy person; he had already passed on the secret of the Word of Travel to Longma.

"Hey!"

A bizarre scene unfolded: the dragon-horse reared up, its hind hooves tumbling into the air, and vanished in a flash. When it reappeared, it was already standing in front of Wei Bi.

Its forelegs, as big as winnowing baskets and as powerful as fists, slammed down on the youth with a thunderous roar, shaking the entire starry sky.

The many prodigies nearby were all taken aback, not expecting a mount to unleash such incredible speed, and they were filled with awe.

Such speed would give anyone present a headache.

As the one directly facing the attack, Wei Bi felt this even more acutely, and raised his hand to defend himself in a split second.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a violent collision erupted, followed by a bloodcurdling howl. The divine tiger beneath the young man shattered into pieces, unable to withstand the force of the battle.

Then came Wei Bi, who also underestimated Long Ma. His arm snapped with a crack, and he was sent flying.

Without a doubt, Wei Bi was proud and genuinely believed he could go all the way.

On Tianqu Star, everyone called him an unprecedented genius, with the potential to attain enlightenment and become a legendary emperor.

"Wei Bi of Quzhou has the potential to become a great emperor!"

This phrase remained his mark after he began to distinguish himself on Tianqu Star. Over time, Wei Bi himself began to feel that he might have a chance to attain enlightenment and become one of those legendary figures.

This idea provided him with boundless strength. On the brutal path of trials, he faced life and death many times, but it was this belief that ultimately enabled him to launch a counterattack from the brink of defeat.

However, this idea was now somewhat shaky.

A mere mount possesses such combat power; despite being of a lower cultivation level than himself, he finds it difficult to withstand.

Wei Bi understood perfectly what this meant. He had done it before, but back then, he was the one who attacked his superiors from below.

"Could it be that I'm no match for a mount?" This thought arose in Wei Bi's mind after the two had exchanged more than a hundred blows.

The battle was intense, with both sides fighting fiercely and displaying a dazzling array of supernatural abilities.

After years of bloody battles, Longma has completely stabilized his current realm, making it incredibly solid.

At this moment, it was displaying a multitude of divine techniques, such as the Word "Travel" Secret, the Word "Fight" Secret, and the Holy Light Technique. Although its mastery of these techniques was not particularly profound, that was from Li Yao's perspective.

In the outside world, Longma unleashed these divine techniques with unparalleled fluidity, every movement as if it were natural, a testament to his mastery.

Even according to Li Yao's assessment, Longma has already begun to grasp the basics.

Longma studied these divine techniques daily, and after being tempered by blood and fire, their power became even more remarkable, giving him unparalleled combat strength. His combat power steadily remained within the Eight Forbidden Domains.

On the other hand, although Wei Bi's realm was higher, having reached the Saint Realm, his combat strength was actually inferior.

Therefore, this situation has arisen, where a prodigy who has fought his way out of the trial path is at a disadvantage in a battle against a mount.

Many people are watching, but the real battle has only just begun after you've fought your way through the trial path.

Once they enter the first level of the ancient human path, as prodigies of the same generation, they will likely spar with each other. It won't hurt to get to know each other first.

This sight moved them deeply.

Many people believed they were no weaker than Wei Bi, and some even considered themselves capable of defeating him.

But regardless of who it is, everyone feels that it will take some time to win over Wei Bi.

This means that this dragon-horse can fight them one-on-one!

This is quite remarkable; what should have been a battle between geniuses has now turned into a contest of battle mounts.

Winning such a battle is dishonorable; one can't very well boast about defeating a mount, but if one loses...

The mere thought sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

If they lose, they'll probably want to kill themselves.

Among the crowd, there was a beautiful and ethereal woman riding a five-colored phoenix, silently watching the battle.

This is a woman whose beauty surpasses even the stars in the sky. She has a graceful figure, surrounded by ethereal mist, and only her celestial face can be vaguely seen. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and is exceptionally beautiful. Her smile is gentle and kind.

Her black hair was so shiny it reflected her reflection, her eyebrows were arched, her skin was fair and delicate, and her eyes held a poetic charm, possessing a kind of spiritual clarity that transcended the mundane world.

Some people didn't leave, not to watch the fight, but largely because of the woman in front of them.

This was a very strange scene. The woman was an unparalleled beauty, but all the cultivators present were at the Saint Realm, and some were even Saints.

Having reached their level of understanding, they had already seen countless beautiful women, so how could they experience such a sudden flutter of the heart?

What is most stunning about this woman is her extraordinary temperament. Her beauty is not breathtaking, but natural, as if in harmony with the Dao. She makes people feel close to her, and just looking at her can purify the soul and make people unconsciously calm down, wanting to get as close to her as possible.

The woman was tall and slender, with a radiant face, flawless arms, a full bust, a slender and rounded waist, and long, straight legs. She stood atop a five-colored phoenix, her white robes fluttering, ethereal and otherworldly.

She wasn't drawn to the battle between Longma and Wei Bi; instead, she looked at Li Yao, who was sitting quietly to the side.

If a mount can fight with such power, then what level of strength must its master possess?

Qing Shi was very curious and wanted to see through the young man to understand what level he had reached.

If I'm not mistaken, this might be my biggest rival.

but……

Qing Shi tried to use various divine techniques to break through the fog and see Li Yao clearly, but found that she could not do it.

The young man before me was like an iceberg on the sea, the tip of which was visible, the bottom of which could never be fathomed.

At this moment, many people's attention was on Qing Shi, and some people followed their gaze and immediately saw Li Yao.

Thus, the detrimental effect of a beautiful woman causing trouble came into play.

“Brother Dao, your mount has such combat power. Li Tianshui would like to learn a thing or two from you.”

A young man stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful but not arrogant manner, and challenged Li Yao to a duel.

After saying this, he paid special attention to Fairy Qing Shi, and when he saw her eyes shimmer with emotion, he was immediately delighted.

It seems that his actions have caught the attention of this fairy.

Next, if you can defeat that young man decisively, you will not only gain the favor of the fairy, but also obtain an incomparably magnificent mount.

If this dragon-horse were given to the fairy as a gift, there would definitely be a chance to win her heart...

Li Tianshui was already lost in fantasies, but the next moment, as a gaze fell upon him, he was plunged into the deepest fear. His entire body exploded with crackling sounds, all his bones were broken, and his sacred body was destroyed!
