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

Chapter 352 A sudden turn of events
"In this life, if it weren't for Li Yao, I'm afraid it would be Brother Ye's era." This thought came to Qing Shi's mind, and she was truly amazed.

Even so, Qing Shi was not worried at all, feeling that Ye Fan would threaten Li Yao.

He may achieve great success and become the strongest person below the Great Emperor, but the throne of this world will definitely belong to Li Yao, and no one can compete with him.

Because Li Yao is already far ahead, it's impossible for him to be caught up.

The battle is getting more and more intense; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The tenth level, and the ancient star below, are battlefields everywhere, where life is incredibly fragile.

The sacred beasts also made their move. The ancient star below the tenth level is their homeland, and they could not stand idly by while the alien race attacked.

This was a considerable force, preventing the alien army from entering the Burial Ground of Gods as if it were uninhabited.

Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Great Sage whose life was nearing its end, also stepped forward to resist the invasion of the alien race.

Although it was very old and had entered its twilight years, its combat power was still not to be underestimated. It managed to hold off several Heavenly Kings who were wielding great sacred weapons, which greatly relieved the pressure on the other sacred beasts.

To prevent the situation from becoming a one-sided massacre, but rather to put them at a disadvantage.

"Charge in! Offer their blood and bones as a sacrifice to the burial ground of the gods and break the seal!" shouted a holy spirit from the alien army.

The seal of the Divine Burial Ground was created by the Daoist Master of the mythological era. Although tens of millions of years have passed, the power of the great formation has long since diminished with the passage of time.

However, it is ultimately a Heavenly Venerable Formation, with boundless divine power. To break it, one needs to accumulate lives and make sacrifices.

The slaughter became increasingly brutal. The tenth level and the ancient star were transformed into a blood and flesh millstone, annihilating all life. The powerful figures on both sides were withering away at an extremely rapid pace.

Finally, half an hour later, the alien army arrived at the Burial Ground of the Gods and broke the first seal with their immeasurable blood and flesh essence.

The earth shook at the God Burial Site, countless strange phenomena appeared, recreating scenes from the mythical era. Countless cultivators perished, and the place was transformed into a demonic land filled with the wails of ghosts and gods.

"Damn it, they actually had this idea! We have to stop them!" an ancient beast roared.

According to ancient legend, Dayuepo must not be altered, and the burial ground of the gods must never be opened, otherwise this ancient star will be destroyed.

These ancient beasts have lived on this planet for generations. Although the specific reasons are unknown, there must be a reason why their ancestors passed down such a saying.

Therefore, we must never allow the alien races to open the burial ground of the gods, otherwise, in this vast universe, without a homeland, they will have nowhere to find peace.

"Kill..."

Upon learning of the alien army's plans, the ancient beasts became even more ferocious, fighting back fiercely to prevent the aliens from succeeding.

The shouts of battle were deafening, blood splattered everywhere, and corpses fell, crashing onto the earth, between mountains, and into lakes...

One battlefield was particularly brutal, where blood flowed like rivers and bones piled up into mountains tens of thousands of feet high, representing all races, densely packed together, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Screams, the cracking of weapons, and the clash of spells filled the air, becoming the main theme of the war, like an ancient battle hymn.

The Holy Spirits of Dayuepo had icy eyes as they fought fiercely, like the Grim Reaper passing through.

Among the foreign army, they were the fewest in number, but they were undoubtedly the backbone of the force. Each of them was an outstanding individual in their respective realm, and no one could rival them wherever they went.

The Holy Spirit’s cruelty is on full display at this time; he knows only how to kill and cares nothing else.

Even if an ally falls right beside them, they will not lend a helping hand.

To open the Burial Grounds of the Gods, countless blood sacrifices are required, regardless of whether the sacrifices are from enemies or allies.

Sometimes, the Holy Spirit will even intentionally allow those on his side to be killed, letting the enemy kill for them, with an astonishing efficiency.

Seeing that the time was almost right, a Holy Spirit King came to the burial ground of the gods, absorbed the blood of the entire battlefield, and transformed it into a raging torrent, gathering it at the center.

In an instant, another layer of seal broke, and the burial ground of the gods revealed its true form: a deep, ancient well.

"The Burial Ground of the Gods is about to open! Stop it!" A golden-winged roc king roared, its voice shaking the land for miles, causing swathes of alien armies to explode.

It is invincible in its divine might, with a huge, golden body that looks as if it were cast from divine metal, solid and indestructible. Its enormous divine wings spread out, blotting out the sky and the sun.

This is also one of the invincible figures on the battlefield, a beast king close to the level of a Heavenly King. At this moment, he is rampaging and the alien army is suffering heavy casualties.

"Gu Mo, kill it!" the Holy Spirit beside the ancient well coldly shouted, his eyes locked on the Golden-Winged Roc King.

As the Holy Spirit finished speaking, a stone-embryonic Holy Spirit swept across the sky as if it were no one else was there, rushing towards the Peng King with unparalleled ferocity.

"King Peng, be careful!" many sacred beasts roared and rushed to provide support.

"It's useless. The Holy Spirit lineage is invincible. No matter how many there are, they're just sending them to their deaths." Gu Mo was arrogant and unpredictable, a being whose combat power was close to that of a Heavenly King.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

Flesh and blood exploded. The holy beasts that came to the rescue were all very powerful, but when they faced Gu Mo, they were smashed into mincemeat with a single palm strike and had no power to fight back.

Their sacred weapons were also shattered, their fragments flying everywhere.

Each of these naturally born and nurtured holy spirits is an outstanding individual of their rank. Only the most exceptional geniuses can rival them, and only those with imperial potential can suppress and kill them.

Although the Holy Spirit mostly appears as a background character in the original work, he is undoubtedly one of the most valuable background characters.

Aside from Ye Fan, among all the geniuses in the original work, there are very few who can use the Holy Spirit as a whetstone.

"Roar……"

Enraged, the Roc King witnessed the slaughter of so many of its subordinates. Its entire body of dazzling golden feathers ignited with golden divine flames as it confronted Gu Mo and engaged him in a bloody battle.

Two top-tier experts clashed at this moment, various Dao principles emerged, and killing moves were unleashed one after another. This was a duel between Daos!

The battle was incredibly fierce. Every clash shook the heavens and earth, sending divine light soaring into the sky, as if the world were about to end.

After exchanging hundreds of blows, a fierce divine light burst forth from the eyes of the Holy Spirit Gu Mo, displaying unparalleled strength. The Holy Spirit withstood the Peng King's divine claws with his own body, his arms like two stone dragons, grabbing the Peng King's wings.

"Roar……"

With a long roar that shook the heavens and earth, his blood and qi surged across the heavens and earth like a pillar supporting the sky. Gu Mo shook his arms, unleashing billions of divine powers, and actually tore the Peng King apart in the sky with his bare hands. The Peng King was scattered across the sky and fell to the land of divine burial.

As you can see, the Peng King's body rapidly withered, and the essence of his flesh and blood transformed into crimson light, flying towards the ancient well, making it shine like the morning glow, beautiful yet terrifying.

"Ah, King Peng has been killed!"

"Fight them to the death! Avenge the Golden-Winged Roc King!"

The many sacred beasts roared, their ferocity erupting as they launched a furious counterattack.

The Golden-Winged Roc King was a powerful ruler who commanded many subordinates, including many loyal ones. Upon seeing the Roc King's death, they were all filled with rage.

"Kill..."

The battle became even more brutal, with the alien army suffering heavy casualties and being subjected to a frenzied massacre, resulting in the demise of many lives.

Of course, the ancient beasts also suffered considerable losses, a case of injuring the enemy a thousand and themselves a thousand.

Holy Spirit Gu Mo sneered, his eyes growing even colder. The deaths of his allies did not affect him in the slightest. He continued his killing spree, charging into various powerful figures with unstoppable momentum!

Soon, he reached another powerful beast king and, together with another stone spirit, surrounded and killed that beast king.

Tuolan Holy Beast King, a top expert of the Tyrannosaurus Clan, a true Heavenly King-level powerhouse, with unparalleled combat strength, has caused countless alien creatures to perish at her hands in this battle.

Previously, the Holy Spirits intentionally avoided the Beast Queen Tuolan, allowing her to slaughter the alien army and contribute to the blood sacrifice at the burial ground of the gods.

But now the time has come, it's time to reap the rewards; the Holy Spirits must step forward to harvest the spoils.

The two stone saints were too powerful for the Tuolan Saint Beast King to withstand. After only a few rounds, he was severely injured, and half of his body was blown apart.

This scene caused countless sacred beasts to turn their eyes up in fury. If this person were to perish, then this ancient star would truly be in grave danger.

But they can only watch helplessly, unable to intervene at all. If they rush over, they will only be smashed into a bloody pulp.

"Tuolan!" In the distance, the Tyrannosaurus Great Sage roared, his aged pupils bursting with a chilling killing intent, his withered body seemingly springing back to life.

Although his life was nearing its end, he was still a Great Sage who had dominated this star field for thousands of years. Now that his wife was surrounded and in imminent danger, he was filled with rage.

The might of the Great Sage erupted, repelling several Heavenly Kings before him. Then, like an ancient divine mountain, he rampaged and crushed everything in his path, turning countless alien armies into a bloody mist.

The Heavenly Kings did not pursue, and Tyrannosaurus Rex was already nearing his end. At this moment, he burned his source and was clearly insane. Anyone who faced him at this time would be confronting a Great Sage who was fighting back in his death throes.

Of these Heavenly Kings, only one is a Holy Spirit; the rest are from other races.

Although the Holy Spirit lineage had acted covertly during the previous battle, they had all seen it and were already dissatisfied. So why would they go up and hold back the Tyrannosaurus Great Sage now?

The only Holy Spirit King wouldn't be so reckless as to charge forward alone; that would be tantamount to suicide.

Although we are all of the same kind, in the end, we all sprang from stones and have no blood ties with each other.

The Holy Spirits are emotionally detached and would never risk their lives to protect others. "Roar..."

Gu Mo and the Stone Saint Spirit roared as they surrounded and killed the Tuolan Holy Beast King. Their blood and qi surged like a long dragon, and they unleashed their full power, unleashing supreme Dao techniques to frantically defend against the attack.

But all efforts seemed futile in the face of a Great Sage's desperate counterattack.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Enraged, the Great Sage Tyrannosaurus struck, smashing the two stone figures into a bloody pulp with a single palm strike. Holy blood splattered across the sky, bringing silence to the battlefield.

Since the start of the great war, this was the first time that two Holy Spirits of the Saint King level had been killed, and this was the first time they had been killed at once.

The surrounding sacred beasts were overjoyed and were about to cheer, but they stopped abruptly the next moment.

After killing two Holy Spirits, the Tyrannosaurus Great Sage stretched out his enormous palm, traversing the heavens and crushing a large swathe of alien army before leaving the battlefield with the heavily wounded Tuolan Holy Beast King.

All the ancient beasts felt a jolt of fear, and a sense of dread instantly enveloped them.

The departure of one's strongest fighter is a devastating blow to morale.

In such a large battlefield, those who have survived to this point are almost numb, relying solely on sheer willpower to keep going. Even if they can't see any hope, they deceive themselves, because only in this way can they have the belief to continue fighting.

Now, the departure of Tyrannosaurus Rex has undoubtedly plunged all the sacred beasts from hope to despair, leaving them unable to even deceive themselves, and their morale has plummeted to rock bottom.

Many ancient beasts, which were originally as taut as a string, suddenly relaxed, their combat power decreased by 30% for no reason, their desire to resist disappeared, and they only wanted to find an opportunity to leave the battlefield.

"Heh, they do know what's good for them." A foreign king sneered, then brandished his battle sword and charged into the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield changed completely. The alien army began a one-sided massacre, and the ancient beast horde showed no will to fight. They fought and retreated, and some even seized the opportunity to escape the battlefield.

With no beasts left to hold their ground, the alien army occupied the area, and within moments, Dayuepo was completely lost.

With the burial ground of the gods captured, the alien races can now unscrupulously perform blood sacrifices at the ancient well, unlocking this sacred site that has been sealed for millions of years.

"We've captured the Burial Ground of Gods. We've finally won this battle."

"The tenth level is coming soon. Two human protectors are no match for three invincible Great Saints."

"The final result will be revealed soon."

On Dayuepo, the foreign army conversed, their expressions filled with joy.

When the allied forces of all races arrive, this section of the star path will inevitably collapse, and even nearby star paths will suffer the same fate.

The Ancient Road of Humanity is finished!
……

In the tenth level, the great battle continues, with both sides locked in a stalemate.

The human race has sent many powerful individuals, all of whom came from the depths of space to provide assistance; their numbers are considerable.

They fought fiercely in the starry sky, destroying countless stars. Their brutality was in no way inferior to that of the ancient stars below.

"Oh no! The Burial Ground of the Gods has fallen!" Suddenly, a Saint King's expression changed drastically as he looked down at the ancient star and shouted.

After Dayuepo was occupied by alien races, powerful figures at the Saint King level began to gather at the ancient well, absorbing holy blood and pouring it into the well to break the seal.

As more and more holy blood entered, the strange phenomenon of gods and demons roaring became more solid, and the aura of savagery spread, reaching the heavens and the earth, even affecting the outer realms.

This is a terrifying phenomenon. It is already so terrible even before the seal has been broken. It is hard to imagine what terrible things would happen if the seal on the ancient well were to be completely removed.

"We can't let them open the ancient well, or this entire star field will be doomed." The guide from the tenth city's expression changed drastically.

People's expressions changed, and they all had a bad feeling.

However, there was no other way; there were countless powerful enemies outside the tenth level, and he could not break away to fight his way into Dayuepo.

Ye Fan's expression was grim. He could be considered unstoppable, dominating the battlefield, but that was all. He could only change the situation in local battles, but he was powerless to change the overall situation.

Even if we manage to storm into Dayuepo, so what? There are countless powerful figures there, including several Heavenly Kings and dozens of Saint Kings.

He was only at the sixth level of the Saint Realm. No matter how monstrous he was, his combat power was at most at the early or middle level of the Saint King Realm.

Charging into Dayuepo won't change anything at all.

This sense of powerlessness distressed Ye Fan, but he was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. No matter the situation, he would not lose his fighting spirit. Before the battle was over, he would transform all his negative emotions into the conviction to throw punches and break through all obstacles in his path.

Ye Fan became even more ferocious, his blood and magical power seemingly inexhaustible, showing no signs of depletion.

The terrifying nature of the Holy Body began to manifest. His Holy Body was unparalleled, with boundless vitality. Every inch of his body transformed into the most terrifying weapon in the world. The area ten feet in front of him was an absolute domain, and even a mid-level Saint King would lose a layer of skin if he entered.

"This is incredible! Doesn't he get tired?" Ryoma, his body aching, looked at the golden figure in front of him and couldn't help but wonder.

In their small battle group, Ye Fan was undoubtedly the strongest spear, piercing through the enemy's battle lines, and also the strongest shield, resisting the enemy's fiercest attacks.

The battle has continued like this until now, and it has begun to tire, but Ye Fan is becoming more and more courageous, as if he wants to enter a higher realm, with no end in sight.

“He is not without limits. His magical power is greatly depleted. The reason he becomes stronger with each battle is because his sacred body possesses boundless divine power.” Qing Shi’s eyes were moved as she saw more.

It's unclear when Ye Fan started using more Taoist techniques, relying solely on his physical divine power to unleash his punches. Yet, even so, his combat strength didn't diminish much.

"Thump," "Thump"...

Suddenly, a deafening sound came, and everyone in the Tenth City looked down at the ancient star in horror. The ancient well was shaking, as if some terrifying being was about to rush out, constantly impacting the well wall, causing the Great Moon Slope to tremble and the sun, moon, rivers and mountains to shake!
"How is that possible? So many years have passed, could there still be living things in that well?" At this moment, people were horrified.

Even the alien army was filled with unease. If there were truly creatures in that ancient well, they would be beings from mythology. If they were to emerge, they might not necessarily distinguish between friend and foe.

"Thump," "Thump"...

The sounds emanating from the ancient well grew increasingly astonishing, like the beating of ancient war drums or the divine sound of a pounding heart.

The impact of this commotion was indiscriminate; it affected both the human race and the alien races.

For a moment, even the fighting slowed down a bit, and both sides felt somewhat uncomfortable.

If the tenth level was already like this, then the situation at Dayuepo was even more exaggerated. The strongmen of the alien alliance were almost paralyzed, and even the progress of breaking the seal slowed down.

Unexpectedly, the strange activity of the ancient well has given humanity a much-needed respite.

Before they could even rejoice, a majestic voice resounded throughout the starry sea, "To fight two against one for such a long time, human race, you have every reason to be proud."

Deep within the starry sea, divine light blazed, and two towering figures, tens of thousands of feet tall, stood majestically, like gods looking down upon all living beings.

Both figures were extremely terrifying. One of them, a being with six eyes on its head, came from the Celestial Race, while the other, with thirty-six divine wings on its back, came from the Rakshasa Race.

A thunderous roar emanated from their bodies, terrifying blood and qi engulfed the starry sea, and the Great Dao transformed into divine chains of order, swirling around their bodies, making them extremely terrifying.

Opposite them was the Azure Phoenix Daoist, coughing up blood, his body riddled with huge wounds, and his face pale. His representative True Phoenix Divine Form was broken, and one of his wings was shattered.

"The human protectors... have been defeated!"

"To fight two against one is not a fault of war. If it were a fair fight, the protectors would surely win."

The human cultivators, filled with resentment and despair, let out a deafening roar.

But a moment later, another tall figure clad in armor was also defeated. His spear broke in two, his armor was tattered, and a bloody hole was punched through his heart, from which blood gushed out.

The Holy Spirit Moang's eyes burned brightly, his entire body was surrounded by a terrifying aura, and endless stars swirled around him. He looked down upon the surrounding area as if he were a god.

"Humans are numerous, but they are like sheep and are not worthy of occupying so many star fields in the universe." The Great Sage of the Celestial Race was very insistent on this point.

"Your alliance of several races has only temporarily gained the upper hand over us. This time, not all the protectors have come out, so you have not yet won." Protector Gao Tianjun said with indignation.

Although they suffered a defeat this time, the human race only sent two protectors, not their entire force.

Moreover, there are many ancient life-bearing planets in the universe, and many powerful human beings. If they knew that the ancient road was in trouble, someone would surely come to quell the chaos, and the danger to the ancient road would naturally be resolved.

"There are many forces in the universe eyeing the human race. Sending two protectors this time is already the limit. Where else can we find protectors? As for the powerful beings of the Ancient Life Star, by the time they arrive, the ancient path of the human race will have been broken." The Rakshasa Great Sage said confidently.

"boom!"

As soon as the Rakshasa Great Sage finished speaking, the depths of the universe trembled violently and then collapsed, and a tall figure tore through the void.

He was a tall and imposing man with disheveled hair, exuding a terrifying aura. As soon as he appeared, he raised his fist and struck.

"Who is it?" Mo Ang and the other two were shocked. They did not expect someone to attack at this time. Did the human protectors really disregard the road ahead and concentrate their strength to protect the tenth city?
The newcomer did not speak, but wielded the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, stepped on the Xingzi Secret, and unleashed a world-shaking fist light as he struck at Mo Ang with unparalleled domineering momentum.

"Boom!"

This punch was terrifying beyond measure, possessing a magnificent aura that made him invincible. Even the proud Holy Spirit did not take it head-on, but instead used a great teleportation to dodge to the side.

However, the old madman displayed extreme speed, which could not be dodged at will. The fist imprints always enveloped Mo Ang, pressing down like six worlds rotating.
