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

Chapter 324 Suppressing the Grand Commander

"Haha, you're finished!" Longma shouted excitedly. The immortal light that enveloped its body merged into it, and its shattered body was restored in an instant.

Riding on its master's power, the dragon horse was extremely arrogant at this moment, its head held high, revealing a disdainful expression.

But the three sacred beasts didn't pay attention to it; instead, they looked away.

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky, as if he had always been there. His green robes fluttered in the wind, and he was full of heroic spirit and extraordinary martial prowess.

Master!

This is a master!
The three sacred beasts were on high alert; if Li Yao hadn't shown himself, they wouldn't have been aware of his presence at all.

This situation either indicates that the individual is skilled at concealment, or their cultivation level is far superior to theirs.

In an instant, the three sacred beasts concluded that it should be the latter.

At their level, their divine sense is incredibly powerful. It's impossible for them to remain undetected at such close range using concealment techniques. Only those with an exceptionally high level of cultivation, whose bodies are integrated with all things, can achieve this.

The Dragon Sparrow King, one of the Three Divine Beast Kings, was uncertain and wanted to step forward to ease the tension, but Li Yao did not give them the chance.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled as a giant hand slammed down, surging with chaotic energy. Celestial light dripped from its fingers, its divine power boundless, carrying the mighty force to sweep across the three thousand realms.

"Roar……"

The Three Holy Beast Kings roared, unleashing three Holy King weapons to meet the giant hand, their holy might astonishing the world.

"Snapped!"

The massive hand pressed down, overturning the heavens and earth. Endless divine power swept across the land like a vast ocean, shattering the three holy king weapons and unleashing dazzling divine light.

"what……"

The piercing scream had barely escaped when it abruptly stopped. The massive body crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble, and in an instant, it perished.

Li Yao calmly withdrew his hand, as if he had merely crushed a few ants.

"Gudong!"

Longma's throat bobbed, and the sound of him swallowing saliva could be heard. There was a hint of shock in his eyes.

Although it knew that the three sacred beast kings were no match for Li Yao, it was still somewhat shocked that he could kill three ancient beasts that were almost at the level of heavenly kings with a wave of his hand.

Because this scene is visually very impactful!

"Buzz!"

The God-Slaying Insects were unleashed, flying in swarms toward the Holy Beast King.

Li Yao acted with great restraint, not destroying the three ancient beasts, but only shattering their platforms, leaving their physical bodies intact.

The enormous corpse, as large as a mountain, lay sprawled on the ground. The divine essence within its flesh and blood exuded a delicate fragrance, causing the eyes of the distant sacred beasts to turn blood red with longing.

If they weren't wary of Li Yao, they would have pounced on him long ago and devoured the corpse of the Holy Beast King.

It would be such a waste not to use such precious meat to feed the God-Slaying Insects.

Li Yao's biggest pet peeve is waste.

The divine essence of the Holy Beast King is a great tonic for any living being.

It's fortunate that Li Yao isn't the glutton he was in the Chaotic Ancient Era; otherwise, he would have set up a grill and had a barbecue right there.

"Crack!"

The sound of flesh being devoured filled the air, chilling to the bone.

The Saint-level Godslayer Insects have sharp teeth and gnaw on flesh and bones. The Semi-Saint-level Godslayer Insects, unable to bite through flesh and bones, suck up Saint Blood and are frantically replenishing themselves in preparation for evolution.

The three sacred beast kings had enormous bodies, resembling mountains, but the God-Slaying Insects devoured them very quickly, and their flesh and blood were decreasing at a visible rate.

During the bloody battlefield, these god-slaying insects had a hearty meal, and now, with such good fortune, their auras are growing stronger, and they are not far from evolving.

"Gudong!"

Longma swallowed hard, also feeling a bit restless.

"What's wrong? Do you want some too?" Li Yao asked.

"I want to, but I can't bite through it." Longma was on the verge of tears. Its teeth were not bad, but they couldn't compare to the God-Slaying Worm. Even if it broke its teeth, it couldn't bite through the flesh and blood of the Saint King.

Upon hearing this, Li Yao reached out and sliced ​​off a piece of the Golden Crow King's flesh, unleashing a burst of immortal light. He then roasted the flesh with divine flames, tossed it to the dragon horse, and said...
"That's easy, eat up."

Longma made no attempt to be reserved, opening his mouth wide to devour it, the rich aroma of meat and divine essence exploding in his mouth.

In an instant, it resembled a burning crimson cloud, its essence overflowing from its pores, its magical power sweeping across the heavens like a vast ocean.

Li Yao turned around and looked at the distant sea of ​​thunder.

Qing Shi's tribulation has ended, and she is currently evolving. Her jade-like body is surrounded by celestial light, and she is completely ethereal.

Everyone gained something from this trip to the Ancient Dojo, and all became stronger than before they entered.

Time passed quickly, and soon the corpse of the Holy Beast King on the ground was devoured. The swarm of God-Slaying Insects fell into a deep sleep, including several Saint-level God-Slaying Insects.

After digesting what they have gained, the entire race will undergo an evolution.

Longma finished eating the roasted meat, and now his whole body is radiating energy.

Qing Shi also completed its evolution and flew over.

Li Yao put away the God-Slaying Insect and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place."

In the central square of the Second Holy City, a deafening roar echoed throughout the city as a gate crumbled.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"The Second Holy City is shaking. Has another race attacked?"

"...No, it's in the city center! The Taoist gate has been blasted to pieces!"

"My God, the gate to the Ancient Dojo has been smashed open! Is the Holy Beast King about to break out?"

The Second Holy City was thrown into chaos, shocking everyone, including the trial participants, whose eyes were all fixed on the city center.

"boom!"

The two people and their mount, ablaze with divine flames, burst forth from the shattered gate. Their powerful aura spread unchecked, enveloping the entire holy city, as if a god had descended upon the world.

"What? They're out!"

"How is this possible? They actually shattered the Dao Gate and broke out at a time when the gate wasn't open!"

Everyone was shocked.

The two men and their horse were very familiar to everyone, and they recognized them at first glance.

A blinding divine light rose up, like the sun hanging in the sky, as intense as celestial fire, and the heavens roared. It stood brightly in the high heavens above the holy city.

President Yu Han felt a sudden jolt of fear, a bad premonition rising within him, and found it hard to believe.

"How is that possible? Even the Holy Beast King couldn't break through the Dao Gate. How did he do it?" Before he could figure it out, his figure appeared high in the sky above the city center in a flash.

When facing Li Yao directly, Yu Han was filled with extreme fear.

At this moment, Li Yao did not conceal his aura; his mere presence was enough to render Yu Han powerless to resist.

It was too powerful, completely beyond his comprehension, and even more oppressive than when he faced the Guide!
"I...I am the Grand Commander of the Second Holy City. If you kill me, you will be violating the rules, which is tantamount to making an enemy of all the strong on the ancient trial road of the human race." Grand Commander Yu Han was fierce on the outside but weak on the inside. He lost his fighting spirit and only wanted to intimidate the other party with the rules of the ancient road.

Li Yao's eyes were cold. Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed a wisp of divine consciousness from the head of the Grand Commander Yu Han.

A scene reappears: a deal between President Yu Han and former President Yan Yu.

Li Yao publicly exposed the sordid aspects of the ancient road, leaving it no face whatsoever.

"Pfft!"

After doing this, Yu Han's body exploded, and his primordial spirit was instantly obliterated.

Everyone was shocked and their scalps tingled. They really killed him!
This is the ancient road of the human race, and there are regulations and restrictions. Killing the Grand Commander of the Holy City is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire ancient road.

How dare he? Isn't he afraid of law enforcement officers or even those who protect the community taking action?

Yes, this matter was indeed the president's fault, and everyone knows the cause and effect. But even so, it should have been handled by law enforcement officers, not by taking matters into their own hands. That would have made a completely different difference.

On a larger scale, this has already jeopardized the entire ancient road.

After all, if you can kill, then other geniuses can also kill at will. If this is not stopped, what kind of chaos will the ancient road eventually become?
No one dared to imagine how this matter would eventually develop.

Judging from Li Yao's attitude, he has no intention of giving up and will make some big moves.

"He has arbitrarily killed a Grand Commander, openly violating the rules of the ancient human path. We beseech the Guide to take action and slay this scoundrel!" A voice boomed from the shadows, shaking the Holy City.

Some people took advantage of the chaos, trying to manipulate the situation and force the guide to take action.

In the Second Holy City, if we're talking about the strongest combat power, it would definitely be the city's lord, the Guide, a being who is almost at the Heavenly King level.

Only with such combat power can one be qualified to guard a city, suppress the geniuses from all regions of the starry sky, and other races that may invade from the universe.

Li Yao's power has just been fully revealed. The Grand Commander Yu Han was powerless to resist in his hands. Apart from the Guide, no one was his match.

"Let's stop here," came an old voice.

The guide finally appeared; someone was calling for him, and it would be unreasonable for him not to come.

However, the fact that he took so long to arrive shows that he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but was forced to do so out of necessity.

"Get lost. I'll spare your life since you didn't ultimately make a move," Li Yao said coldly.

He did not have a very good impression of the Second City Guide, and it was clear from his conduct that he was not a loyal and dutiful person.

“Even if the Grand Commander is wrong, he should be punished by the Ancient Road. Your unauthorized killing has already violated the rules of the Ancient Road. If you continue killing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end the matter,” the guide said.

"So what if things get out of hand? I have nothing to fear. If right and wrong are truly indistinguishable, if the enforcers come, I will kill them; if the protectors come, I will kill them." Li Yao spoke calmly, yet uttered such earth-shattering words.

Everyone was filled with fear; there was solemnity, mockery, and ridicule...

The ancient path of the human race is home to many powerful individuals, and the protectors are all Great Saints, including some of the most outstanding figures.

Such an existence, towering above the stars, who would dare to offend it? Yet Li Yao acted with impunity, not taking it seriously at all.

Such behavior gives the impression of being somewhat arrogant and ignorant.

Even the guide hadn't expected Li Yao to be so domineering. Although he felt the other party was too arrogant, he didn't want to be his enemy and tried to persuade him.
“Young man, you are very strong, and I cannot see through you. But too much rigidity leads to breakage. Sometimes, a little gentleness in your actions will allow you to advance and retreat with a clear purpose.”

Li Yao scoffed, "Only those without strength would act like this. If I want to do something, anyone who stands in my way will die."

Having reached this point, it's clear that further discussion is impossible. One side's resolve is too firm, leaving only a fight or a retreat for the other.

The guide couldn't see through Li Yao. He hadn't realized it before, but now that the other party was exuding an aura, he was actually a little frightened.

Without much hesitation, he turned and left, quite decisively.

Regardless of how Gu Lu was criticized for dereliction of duty afterward, at least his life wasn't in danger; at most, he would be reprimanded.

However, staying behind to interfere in this matter would have unpredictable consequences.

The guide trusted his intuition; this young man was truly extraordinary, profound and unfathomable, making one feel uneasy.

I've been fooled! This isn't a hidden dragon; it's clearly a real dragon soaring through the heavens.

Many people showed unusual expressions, and the intelligent ones even sensed something was amiss. The guide actually showed apprehension?!

Ignoring the departing guide, Li Yao reached out and grabbed a young man with a bewildered expression. The air trembled, and the young man was pulled over.

The teleportation and phantom shifting techniques were exactly the same as the method used to capture the Grand Commander earlier, demonstrating terrifying power.

Everyone was shocked.

The first time, some things were not quite clear, but now, everyone held their breath and could see it very clearly. This was the unpredictable Great Void Technique!

With a wave of his hand or a step, he commanded the power of the void, becoming one with the boundless and vast void.

"I think I know where he came from."

"I also roughly understand now. Such domineering void power can probably only be achieved by the Void Emperor's Void Scripture in the entire universe."

"Legend has it that not long after the Void Emperor attained enlightenment, he went to the Burial Emperor Star to suppress the dark turmoil and spread his lineage there. This person should have come from the Burial Emperor Star!"

In the Second Holy City, as people chatted amongst themselves, the powerful attributes of passersby quickly revealed Li Yao's origins.

Although the process was entirely wrong, the result, by sheer chance, matched up.

There was no other way; Li Yao's Great Void Technique was simply too powerful.

He did not use excessive divine power, but rather demonstrated his understanding and application of the void.

Every move he made was like that of a child of the void, and the boundless void seemed to resonate with him.

This is completely different from what those with higher levels of attainment do. They use absolute power to control the void, rather than making the void work for them like Li Yao does.

The two are completely different!
The young man, caught in this trap, was first bewildered, then realized what was happening, and finally began to feel fear.

The young man appeared to be in his early twenties and was one of the trial participants. However, he was not from outer space, but a native of the Second Holy City.

"What are you doing? Are you going to kill indiscriminately?" The young man was somewhat frightened. He tried to resist, but found it was futile, as the power of the void bound him tightly.

Li Yao didn't waste any words; he seized the dragon's consciousness and killed it.

Soon, the young man's identity was confirmed: Yan Chifeng, a member of the Yan clan, the prodigy who opposed Ye Fan in the original novel.

"The Yan Clan!"

With a flicker in the void, the two people and their mount vanished without a trace.

The Holy City trembled. Countless people knew that this matter was not over yet. The Yan Clan, which had dominated the Second Holy City for countless years, was about to face annihilation.

Everyone moved together and headed towards the ancestral land of the Yan clan to see how things were progressing.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, they had already figured out Li Yao's character. He was lawless and capable of massacring the Yan clan. They were all very curious about what would become of the Yan clan.
