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

Chapter 363 Celestial Venerable Divine Liquid
He was once an invincible figure in the world, how could he be willing to suffer such humiliation?

Do you really think that Golden Crow is a pushover and can't lift the Golden Bell of Tribulation?

The key point is that Li Yao is not particularly powerful; he is not even a high-level Quasi-Emperor. Jinwu is confident that he can handle such a being and will not attract the attention of the forbidden zone.

Li Yao believed that if a major battle between quasi-emperors at the seventh or eighth level broke out just as the path to immortality was about to open, it might attract the attention of the Supreme Beings. Therefore, he felt that the Golden Crow dared not use too much power.

But that's just his opinion. In reality, Jinwu dared to do it because he knew very well that as long as he was fast enough, the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone wouldn't even notice him.

Although it's somewhat derogatory, in the eyes of the Supreme Being, a Quasi-Emperor is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

"boom!"

The supreme imperial might raged, and the golden divine egg shone brightly, covering the entire underground world in a dazzling golden light.

Chains of divine power entwined around the golden divine egg, resembling the magnificent plumage of a golden crow, while the golden imperial fire of the sun burned fiercely, unchanged through the ages.

At this moment, the Golden Crow Divine Egg, like an ultimate imperial weapon, gradually revived, ready to unleash an ultimate attack.

Li Yao felt a chill run down his spine and dared not be careless. His cultivation surged instantly, and the stone token in his hand was pushed to its limit.

The terrifying power of the ancient emperor was awe-inspiring. Even though the Stone Token was not at its peak, its power was unimaginable when it was wielded by a quasi-emperor.

In this vast underground world, two supreme powers confronted each other, like two undercurrents in the ocean. They appeared still, but their unstoppable collision was gradually escalating.

"boom!"

Finally, Li Yao raised the stone token as if wielding a stone sword, and cleaved it down towards the Golden Crow Divine Egg.

The underground world trembled, as if it could not withstand the surging power and was about to collapse. But at this moment, Dao patterns flew out from the rock walls, the dome, and the earth. They were extremely profound, and each one contained the supreme Dao.

This is the Celestial Venerable's Platform, which is filled with the Celestial Venerable's Dao principles. Since the Celestial Venerable Lingbao wanted to return, he naturally made some arrangements.

Otherwise, if someone happens to be fighting here and destroys the Sendai, how can he return?

Although Lingbao Tianzun has completely failed at present, he still has a backup plan to protect the Sendai.

On the other hand, Jinwu was not surprised at all, which was why he dared to take action.

This location effectively blocks the view of the supreme ruler.

"when!"

The divine bell tolled softly, and the golden light shone even brighter, transforming the underground world into a golden divine kingdom.

A giant bell appeared, cast entirely from Dao Tribulation Gold, engraved with the image of a golden crow emerging from Fusang and ten suns in the sky...

"boom!"

A terrifying collision erupted, unleashing a surge of divine power like a vast ocean, radiating divine light and rippling outwards, ultimately transforming into forbidden symbols that raged across the land.

The Golden Bell of Tribulation is a Dao weapon of the Golden Crow, which also experienced the tribulation of becoming an emperor.

Although it was abandoned halfway, it was different from ordinary quasi-emperor weapons and had the feel of an ultimate emperor weapon. It could be considered a supreme weapon, so it was not afraid of the Holy Spirit Stone Token.

Even more so, the Dao Tribulation Golden Bell has the upper hand, because the combination of the Dao Soldier and its master is absolutely the strongest at the same level.

The fire crow's head was pressed firmly against the ground, unable to even tilt its head to look.

Such a battle would be acceptable if observed from a distance, but the current distance is far too close. Even with the Golden Crow's protection, the impact is still significant.

It's a pity that no one in the world witnessed such an earth-shattering collision.

Fire Crow felt genuinely sorry about this.

The chaotic sword energy continued to slash down, and the Sun Emperor Fire burned fiercely. Every clash was earth-shattering, and every wisp of the scattered Dao patterns was enough to kill a Great Sage.

Holding the stone token, Li Yao retreated step by step, his tiger's mouth already split open, blood flowing from between his fingers onto the stone token.

He miscalculated. The golden crow wasn't in bad shape; although it wasn't at its peak, it had at least recovered halfway.

As someone who almost reached the pinnacle, even if he only recovered half of his strength, he was still an outstanding figure among the high-level Quasi-Emperors, approaching the level of a Daoist.

But Jinwu's luck is really bad. His path to Nirvana has been completed. It was difficult at first but easy later. His recovery speed will get faster and faster.

If Li Yao hadn't interfered this time, he might have fully recovered within twenty or thirty years and be ready to emerge into the world and attain enlightenment at any time.

"Youngster, why aren't you leaving? Do you really want to fight me to the death?" Jinwu was stunned.

The scene before him was completely beyond his expectations; the young man in front of him was simply a monster, his strength was terrifying.

Unless he reaches the pinnacle of his powers and returns to his peak, he cannot kill this person in one move. Otherwise, no one can expect to quickly determine the winner.

What Jinwu least wanted was a stalemate, and his current condition was not suitable for a prolonged battle.

He was not prepared to undergo the ultimate sublimation now, as it would deplete his potential to become a Great Emperor. Even if he had no choice but to retreat today, he would not undergo the ultimate sublimation.

Therefore, Jinwu could only hope that it could intimidate the young man and scare him away.

After all, judging from the previous exchanges, he undoubtedly held the absolute upper hand, and if the battle continued, Li Yao's defeat was only a matter of time.

He had a good plan, but unfortunately Li Yao turned a deaf ear and saw through Jinwu's predicament.

His cultivation and magical power surged, and blazing light surrounded his body as Li Yao launched an even more ferocious attack.

The secret of the character "皆" is activated, granting ten times the combat power!
The True Phoenix Undying Body operates continuously, its black hair seemingly forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold, each strand gleaming.

"How hateful!" Jinwu gritted his teeth, but could only helplessly accept the attack, and the golden bell continued to ring.

The supreme imperial might clashed once more, even more terrifying than before, causing ripples to appear on the Heavenly Venerable array patterns in the underground world.

It must be said that Jinwu's strength is incredibly terrifying. Even in his current crippled state, and despite always holding back, he is not at a disadvantage against Li Yao.

If we really put our minds to it, we could kill him.

But Jinwu wouldn't do that. His nature dictates that as long as he has a choice, he won't risk his life. Otherwise, he might have already become an emperor.

With the balance of power shifting, the great battle remained in a bizarre stalemate.

Li Yao's eyes burned even brighter, his fighting spirit surging. The immortal golden furnace above his head shone with immortal light, resonating with the gods, and every inch of his flesh and blood cheered.

The insights I gained before setting off were completely digested in just a short while.

Li Yao gave the Heavenly Book no time to rest and immediately began to comprehend the Dao.

The Heavenly Book currently has three main abilities: first, to inscribe scriptures and innovate; second, to create laws, which is also what Li Yao uses the most; and third, to enhance his own comprehension with the Heavenly Book.

The first and second types of Heavenly Books were already possessed; the third type is an ability evolved from the upgraded Heavenly Books.

Although enhancing one's own comprehension is not as exaggerated as the realm of creating laws, it still has advantages over the realm of creating laws.

For example, if one is currently in the midst of a great battle, by enhancing one's own understanding, one's mind will not enter the domain and affect the external battle.

"boom!"

As if the world had been created, Li Yao felt his head clear and his eyes bright, and he became more awake, with his internal cultivation surging.

He saw more, things he hadn't noticed before: the Celestial Venerable Array patterns of the underground world were clearly visible to him, as if he were looking at patterns in his palm, each line and line perfectly clear.

Li Yao practiced and reflected as he fought. Thanks to his improved comprehension, Li Yao's combat rhythm became smoother, and his combat power seemed to have increased even further.

On the other side, Jinwu had a bad feeling.

With his discerning eye, how could he not see that Li Yao had entered a mysterious state, indescribable and inexplicable, but undoubtedly extremely disadvantageous to him? "Where did this freak come from? He's been entrenched in the Divine Forbidden Domain for a long time, possesses ten times the combat power of the All-Word Secret, and is now in another mysterious state?" In this short exchange, Jinwu had already figured out most of Li Yao's abilities.

Even so, he became increasingly alarmed. If the current situation continued to unfold, unless he reached the pinnacle of his abilities, he would be unable to subdue the other party.

"when!"

Suddenly, the golden bell trembled violently, emanating a vast expanse of celestial light, and the laws of the Emperor's Way transformed into forbidden symbols that surged forward.

This attack was terrifying beyond measure, and it was already infinitely close to the level of someone who was about to attain enlightenment.

Li Yao dared not take the attack head-on. He stepped on the Xingzi Secret, generating patches of Dao patterns that solidified space and time. Then he dodged left and right, constantly attacking.

If there is no way to avoid it, then use the stone token to tear open an opening and break out.

"I will remember this humiliation and will avenge it in the future." The golden divine egg trembled, its divine sense vast and its majesty unparalleled.

The Golden Crow departed, tearing through the void and leaving with the Fire Crow.

Since you already sense that you can't win over the other person unless you go to the extreme, why bother getting entangled?

Retreating today may be a disgrace, but decades later, he will be a hero again.

When the path to immortality opened, the Supreme Being's attention was drawn to it. He emerged into the world and forcefully proved his Dao, transforming into the Golden Crow Emperor.

At that time, he will be the supreme ruler of the nine heavens and ten earths, dominating the vast universe, challenging the heavenly order above and shaking the nine netherworlds below; who would dare to disobey him?

We'll settle accounts for today's humiliation when the time comes.

This approach is utterly devoid of the demeanor of a strongman, but there's a trade-off between what you gain and what you lose; Jinwu chose to sacrifice first to secure the future. This has always been his style, and it has never changed.

"boom!"

In the underground world, Li Yao dodged the last ripple of the law and gazed silently at the central platform.

No, that's it?!

Jinwu's departure was too swift, leaving Li Yao unable to accept it for a while.

In the world of "Covering the Sky," every major battle is fought with lives on the line, a desperate struggle to the death, let alone the battle between those above and those below.

However, this is also a good thing. If Jinwu really disregards everything, he might really be in trouble.

Li Yao opened his Heavenly Eye and looked around. After confirming that the Golden Crow had really left and there was no possibility of it returning, he put away the Holy Spirit Stone Token and walked towards the high platform.

Although it is called a high platform, it is actually no different from a suspended continent, and it is very vast.

In the center, there is a small pool, about three feet square, which shines brightly and flows with divine light.

It was a crystal-clear divine liquid, its flow radiant with divine light and brimming with vitality, even more extravagant than the immortal liquid refined from a Great Perfection Holy Spirit.

"This is the divine liquid born from the Celestial Venerable's Immortal Platform; it is truly a rare treasure," Li Yao murmured in admiration.

This divine liquid was the most vibrant life-giving substance he had ever seen, apart from the elixir of immortality.

Moreover, that's not all. The abundant vitality is just one advantage of the divine liquid. What makes it truly precious is the great laws it contains.

After seeing the divine liquid, Li Yao finally understood why it could heal injuries to the Great Dao: because it contained the complete Great Dao itself.

In truth, those who are injured by the Great Dao have either had their own Dao damaged, or have been forcefully invaded by the Dao of others, which has taken hold of their bodies and they are powerless to expel it.

Just like in the original novel, Ye Fan perished in the darkness and turmoil, but was later resurrected.

At that time, his Dao principles were completely suppressed, and he was suppressed by many supreme Daos within his body, so he could not use any of his magical power.

That was also a type of Dao injury, and the most severe one. The reason Ye Fan didn't die was entirely due to the ruthless person who saved his life.

In both of these cases, the Dao itself has become problematic, and the Great Dao contained in the Celestial Venerable Divine Liquid can be used to repair or strengthen one's own Dao, and to expel the Dao that has taken root within the body.

Without a doubt, this is a true divine object, comparable to the elixir of immortality.

It's a pity that so much of it was wasted by the Golden Crow.

"A beast covered in fur and armor, born from wet eggs!" Li Yao was heartbroken.

The entire pool of divine liquid is now less than one-twentieth of its original volume; how can this not break one's heart?

Fortunately, there was still some consolation prize.

Li Yao attempted to collect it, but failed; the divine liquid remained trapped within the pool.

"what happened?"

Li Yao was puzzled, but continued to collect the gold, this time using the Immortal Gold Furnace and the Stone Token.

"boom!"

Celestial light burst forth, ripples spread, the entire underground world erupted in chaos, and the pool unleashed its ultimate power, forcing Li Yao to retreat.

"Cannot be collected; can only be used in the pool."

This situation put Li Yao in a difficult position. There was a backup plan set up by Lingbao Tianzun in this pool, making it impossible for him to leave.

If it is forcibly taken, the entire underworld will riot, triggering the Celestial Venerable's backup plan.

No wonder the Golden Crow chose to undergo rebirth again instead of taking the divine liquid and finding another safe place; it turns out it couldn't.

Since the mountain won't come to me, I have no choice but to go to the mountain.

The sound of chanting rang out from Li Yaodao Palace, accompanied by crackling thunder, and the Crimson Thunder God emerged from within.

This is his Dao Palace deity, but unlike ordinary people, his Dao Palace deity is tempered with the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Therefore, the image of the gods is as fierce as divine thunder.

The Crimson Thunder God transformed into crimson lightning, tearing through the void and leaving the underground world.

Li Yao already had someone in mind to choose as the final user of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Liquid.

Old Gai is old, but he can still eat.

With the Dark Turmoil imminent, this is an invaluable asset. Although the remaining Celestial Divine Liquid certainly cannot help him return to his peak, it can certainly improve his condition considerably.

When the Crimson Thunder God departed, he returned to the Big Dipper and informed Gai Jiuyou of this news, asking him to come to the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star.

Li Yao himself sat cross-legged by the pool and began to comprehend the Dao.

This is the Celestial Venerable's Altar, and his lingering Daoist aura is everywhere.

Just now, when Li Yao used the Heavenly Book to enhance his comprehension and combat power, he felt a response from the seven kinds of Nine Secrets.

Clearly, there are traces of the secrets of character formation here, but they are hidden too deeply. Unless one has a cheat code, it is impossible to discover this matter.

"Buzz!"

The Immortal Gold Furnace trembled, and the Divine Mark Purple Gold began to emit a purple light, capturing the Celestial Venerable's imprint in this place.

As long as he captures a single point and inscribes it, Li Yao can deduce it from the Heavenly Book and thus obtain the complete secret of character formation.

At that time, he will be able to obtain eight of the nine secrets!
