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

Chapter 417: Creation of Magic Tribulation

The Human Body Secret Realm Method is a method for exploring the hidden potential within the physical body, opening the door to one's own potential, and cultivating oneself.

The Sea of ​​Wheels is the place where one cultivates and stores one's essence, the place where one's life force resides; the Dao Palace cultivates the five internal organs, allowing the Dao Self and the departed Self to recite scriptures; the Four Extremes cultivate the four limbs, initially merging with heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the outer world; the Dragon Transformation cultivates the spine, responsible for connecting the power of the five great secret realms, serving as a link between the upper and lower realms; the Immortal Platform cultivates the brain, which is a forbidden zone of the gods, the most important secret realm!
It can be said that any cultivator who practices the Human Body Secret Realm Technique cannot withstand the consequences of their secret realm being shattered, which is no different from the damage to the dantian in the martial arts world.

The destruction of even one of the five great secret realms would be an unbearable blow, but now Li Yao is proceeding with such ferocity that the damage to his body is unimaginable.

"Luckily, I'm currently in a Chaos Body, and I also have the Secret of the Word 'Zhe' and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it," Li Yao thought, enduring the excruciating pain.

Even so, he was not at ease, on the verge of life and death. If he could not finish the battle in one fell swoop, his fate would be extremely tragic.

"Boom!"

The Sendai Secret Realm trembled violently, and the towering platform fell, transforming into an ancient and vast altar, its brilliant light restrained, resembling a stone platform.

The new world now has a sky and an earth, with yin and yang, the five elements, the four poles supporting the heavens, and Mount Buzhou connecting heaven and earth.

One hundred and twenty-nine hundred and six million zhang is the distance between heaven and earth, and beyond the heavens lies boundless chaos.

This place remains unstable, occasionally unleashing chaotic gales that invade the new world. Wherever they go, everything returns to normal, and Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, all revert to chaos!
If left unchecked, the new world will eventually revert to chaos.

This is also the final step; the purpose of the altar is to suppress the chaos beyond the heavens.

"boom!"

After an unknown period of time, the altar finally emerged from the giant hole opened by Mount Buzhou and entered the boundless chaos.

In an instant, the previously churning chaos calmed down. Although there were still strong winds, they could not blow into the world and could only roam freely in the chaos.

"Roar!"

In the new world, the divine being roared, his wild and untamed aura surging between heaven and earth, the great Dao of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements moving together and flowing into his body.

This is a sublimation, and it is also the second cultivation realm of the new system after the Primordial Embryo Realm—Transformation.

However, this step is of little use to the divine being, as he is the creator of the law, not a later follower; he is merely experiencing it for the first time.

The endless laws enter the body, and from then on, everything is integrated and transformed in all aspects.

Not only gods and humans, but also beings from beyond the heavens and earth, can gather Yin and Yang sacred power and the Five Elements Great Dao for battle with every gesture and movement.

In the second cultivation stage of the new system, combat power will increase dramatically, and the comprehension of laws will be like having a cheat code.

Then, having perfected the second realm, one embarks on the path to the third realm—the Supreme Saint!
Cultivating this level of spiritual attainment is a process of climbing.

Mount Buzhou contains unimaginable divine power from the creation of the world. It is simple at first, but the higher one goes, the greater the pressure becomes.

For every zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) that a divine being ascends, they are baptized and become even stronger; upon reaching the top, they become nearly immortal.

In this process, the entity of the outer world will also benefit, its ability to comprehend the Dao will be greatly enhanced, and its divine sense will become extremely sharp, reaching a state of pre-cultivation secret, that is, the cicada senses the autumn wind before it blows.

The third stage doesn't involve much qualitative change; it's more about digesting the achievements of the second stage and elevating them in all aspects.

Once you reach perfection, you will step into the fourth realm—Mastering the Dao!
Choose the path that suits you best; the more talented you are, the more extraordinary you will become in this realm.

From this point on, the gap between clouds and mud will become increasingly larger. The difference between mastering one path and theoretically mastering ten thousand paths will be even greater at the same realm than between the Supreme Saint Realm and the Primordial Embryo Realm.

The more Great Daos one masters, the stronger one's combat power will be, and the lower the possibility of being attacked by those who defy the laws of immortality.

Of course, this is not entirely absolute. Some people with inner talent may not master too many Great Daos, but if they can comprehend one Great Dao to a very deep level, their combat power will not be much inferior to those who have mastered multiple Great Daos.

These are also the two cultivation modes that will appear in the Master Dao Realm: taking a specialized route or having all the Daos combined.

Logically speaking, the Path of Ten Thousand Paths is definitely stronger and has a higher potential.

If there are people like Li Yao among those who come after, they will be able to cultivate all the myriad paths and reach the pinnacle of each path.

After mastering the Dao, comes the fifth realm—Creation!

This is a qualitative leap, almost reaching the level of "I am the Dao," where among all the myriad paths of heaven and earth, my Dao is supreme.

The primordial spirit will also be completely sublimated, stepping into the highest realm of humanity, and the combat power can rival that of the Great Emperor.

The difference in combat power at this level is also significant, with the lower limit being an unconventional supreme being, and the better ones being comparable to emperors.

But this is not the limit; Li Yao is currently at this level.

He cultivated all the myriad paths, and reached the pinnacle of each one. Every gesture he made was an act of creation, as if he were shaping all things.

What is creation? It is the great power of heaven and earth, the most primordial divine power. Creation bestows divine beauty, referring to the natural wonders nurtured by heaven and earth.

Li Yao's Creation Realm is the ability to reverse the myriad paths with a wave of his hand, taking the place of the Great Dao and becoming the source of all paths.

Of course, he hasn't reached that level yet; he's just on his way.

If he truly takes the place of the Great Dao, then ordinary True Immortals are nothing in front of him.

"Boom!"

Outside, the entire world trembled violently, all things wailed, and the world-ending fluctuations were vast. The heavens were enraged, as if they had been provoked.

"A Dao-proving fluctuation?!"

"Someone is defying the heavens, breaking through all the shackles, and attempting to reach the Emperor Realm?"

"Without a source, the target cannot be identified!"

The wailing of countless voices caused the Dao representing the current emperor to tremble violently, teetering on the brink of collapse.

However, unexpectedly, this fluctuation was only in the present world, and no great calamity occurred, nor could the identity of the one undergoing the calamity be determined.

"If we can't find the source, it can only be him. How could it be so fast!"

Suddenly, an unbelievable voice came from the Primordial Ancient Mine.

All living beings were shaken and filled with curiosity. Could there be anyone in this world, apart from heaven and earth, who possessed such power to defy all the laws of nature and become an emperor?

"It is the Heavenly Emperor, but since he is on the Immortal Path, the world cannot clearly perceive him, so no great calamity has befallen him." Gai Jiuyou revealed this information with an inscrutable expression.

In an instant, it was as if a hurricane had swept through, leaving everyone utterly shocked.

The Heavenly Emperor is about to attain enlightenment!
"This is too fast! The Heavenly Emperor only broke through to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor for a short time, and he's already about to prove his Dao!"

"How old is the Heavenly Emperor now? At most, he's just over two hundred, right?"

"This is an unprecedented achievement! In ancient history, which emperor could attain enlightenment at such an age!"

Many people found it hard to believe, feeling that their worldview had been overturned.

However, some people have already become accustomed to it.

"Nothing is impossible. Anyway, I'm used to it. That's how the Heavenly Emperor is. He breaks through every few years."

"Yes, now that I think about it, the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation speed is simply illogical. He became a Saint Lord in his early twenties, broke through to Great Saint in his early thirties, and then entered Quasi-Emperor in less than thirty years..."

After that, things became even more extraordinary. Ordinary people in the Quasi-Emperor realm, even those with exceptional talent, would often need a hundred years to break through once.

However, the Heavenly Emperor defied this common sense, achieving a breakthrough every few to ten years.

Moreover, each breakthrough is not to a single realm; each breakthrough involves several realms in succession.

The supreme beings in all the forbidden zones of life were now numb, especially those supreme beings who were preparing to be born on the Immortal Star, who now did not know what to do.

He was born to act as a calamity for humanity, and then attacked Li Yao?

But by now, Li Yao's combat prowess needs no further explanation.

When he first broke through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, his combat power was already astonishing, capable of defeating five supreme beings.

Now, several decades have passed, and for an ordinary person, it might not have been long before their cultivation level was stabilized.

Since Li Yao has already attempted to reach the Emperor Realm, his cultivation must have reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven. Without a doubt, Li Yao will only become stronger now.

How can we interfere with that?

Five Supreme Beings aren't enough, so how many Supreme Beings will we need to send this time? Six wouldn't be enough, we'll need at least seven!

But now there's another problem: there are two Emperor-level combatants blocking the outside of the restricted area, and they won't just sit idly by.

In other words, at least two supreme beings need to be separated to deal with Gai Jiuyou and Jinwu.

Nine supreme beings have been born?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! The number of supreme beings who believe that the path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star is correct and who are preparing to emerge into the world is less than nine in total.

The supreme beings who do not intend to emerge on the path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star will not be able to emerge again for at least tens of thousands of years. Whether Li Yao becomes an emperor or not is irrelevant to them, and they have no reason to emerge and attack Li Yao.

This is an unsolvable problem. Apart from watching Li Yao break through to the Emperor Realm, the Supreme Beings have no other options.

On the path to immortality, Li Yao sensed something, his gaze piercing through the boundless void as he looked outwards.

"Has the tribulation of enlightenment arrived?" he murmured to himself, but then shook his head. "Not only that, there's also the tribulation of creation."

Li Yao stood up, and endless array patterns appeared out of thin air, concealing his aura. Not only that, the Immortal Gold Furnace emitted a dazzling light, suppressing his cultivation.

Having done all this, Li Yao strode forward, his fists clenching to the sky, shattering fragments of immortal laws as he charged outwards.

"boom!"

The massive cracks in the Big Dipper Ancient Star Array continued to widen, releasing an overwhelming aura.

A figure appeared there, his fists radiating unparalleled light. Each punch he unleashed could shake the heavens and myriad realms, and every gesture he made could cause countless paths to rumble. With a deafening roar, Li Yao pierced through the Immortal Path and descended once more into the Big Dipper Star Region.

"Wait, why has his aura changed?"

Immediately, the Forbidden Zone Supreme, Gai Jiuyou, Jinwu, and others sensed something was wrong.

Li Yao's aura changed drastically, completely different from before he entered; even his own Dao seemed to have disappeared.

"What's wrong with you?" Gai Jiuyou used his great magical power to transmit his thoughts, shielding the Supreme Being and others, and asked about Li Yao's current situation.

Jinwu, standing to the side, also looked puzzled, not understanding what had happened to Li Yao.

Even though he came into contact with the immortal path, the changes he underwent were far less than those of Li Yao. At least his own Dao remained unchanged, only his life essence underwent subtle changes.

"boom!"

Before Li Yao could reply, a mighty imperial aura emanated from the forbidden zone of life. The supreme beings stared at Li Yao with sharp eyes, trying to ascertain his situation.

At the same time, this is also a test.

The emperor cannot be insulted; to be spied on like this will surely enrage him.

What the Supreme Beings wanted was for Li Yao to become enraged and unleash his power, thereby determining his condition.

At this moment, the Supreme Beings were exceptionally united, numbering at least twenty, as they unleashed their Imperial Laws together, pressing down on Li Yao.

"Hmph! Do you want to die? I'll grant your wish." Li Yao's tone was icy, and his overwhelming aura surged forth.

Within the inner world, the divine beings traversed Mount Buzhou, experienced the baptism of chaos, and have long since become immortal.

At this moment, He was sitting cross-legged on the altar, enduring countless eons, refining Himself from the highest to the greatest.

The divine being is a divine being, but he is also the primordial spirit of Li Yao.

After the new system was established, the God-Human Realm had already surpassed the Emperor Realm, and was only one tribulation away from being reached.

A powerful primordial spirit will also drive an all-round evolution of combat power.

Even without activating the All-Encompassing Secret Technique, Li Yao's combat power, multiplied tenfold, has already reached the Heavenly Emperor level.

Compared to before he entered the Immortal Path, he had become many times stronger, and he no longer felt much fear of the Supreme Beings.

Therefore, he forcefully resisted the probing of the forbidden zone, showing no fear even when facing multiple supreme beings at the same time.

His overwhelming aura surged forth, supreme and unparalleled. He strode forward, like a celestial emperor, surrounded by countless forces, forcefully pressing down on the five forbidden zones.

He made no attempt to conceal his true state; the five secret realms were gone, but his aura was even stronger, unparalleled throughout history.

The forbidden zone trembled, and even the voices of supreme beings shook, "What have you done? All five secret realms have vanished!"

"The Five Great Secret Realms are the foundation of a cultivator's life. If the Five Great Secret Realms have disappeared, how are you still alive?"

"It wasn't some kind of concealment method; it genuinely disappeared. How is that possible?"

All the supreme beings lost their composure. Even as powerful as they were, they were like ignorant children at this moment, unable to maintain their calm.

Because it's just too unimaginable.

The current universe is different from the Chaotic Ancient Era. The creation of a new cultivation system is something that doesn't even exist in legends; it's completely foreign to us.

For a time, people wouldn't think in that direction.

Just like in ancient times, people would never have imagined that humans could fly into the sky with the help of external forces.

If an airplane had appeared at that time and hovered in front of them, it would have been considered by the people of that era as divine power, an unimaginable miracle.

The current situation is similar to this; even someone as powerful as the Supreme Being doesn't understand Li Yao's current state.

The five secret realms disappeared, but he not only didn't die, but his aura became even more terrifying.

This is a revolutionary myth, and everyone wants to know how it all came about.

"boom!"

Just then, the tremors of heaven and earth became even more terrifying, and the waves of destruction swept across the land as the heavens searched for the traces of the creator of the law.

Li Yao's gaze swept across the restricted area, and he sneered, "If you want to know about me, just fight me once I emerge. Defeat me, and you can study me as you please."

After saying that, he leaped up, tearing through the endless void. In just one step, he rushed to the edge of the universe, almost piercing through the entire universe.

This calamity will be terrible, surpassing any previous catastrophe; it is the first of its kind in history.

He forged his own path and created unprecedented laws, which was destined to trigger an unprecedented calamity. He had to be suppressed and killed, and his existence in this world was not to be allowed.

Therefore, Li Yao was trying to stay as far away from the universe as possible, not wanting to cause a large number of casualties because of himself.

The forbidden zone of life trembled, and divine thoughts fluctuated violently. The supreme beings were discussing how to find teammates to be born with.

The supreme being about to be born on Flying Immortal Star naturally wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Li Yao, not to mention that now there was another reason.

And the Supreme Being, who had intended to remain secluded and wait for an opportunity in future generations, is now showing signs of wavering.

Clearly, Li Yao possesses a great secret, a miracle that even they, as powerful as they are, have never been able to touch.

Their intuition told them that if they could study it thoroughly, it would be of great help to them.

Therefore, many supreme beings in the forbidden zones are now eager to make their move, weighing the pros and cons before deciding whether to emerge into the world.

Gai Jiuyou's expression was resolute as he strode forward, blocking the only path to Li Yao's location in the sky, and staring directly at the five forbidden zones of life.

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand!

This is a kind of courage; facing five forbidden zones alone is tantamount to courting death.

But Gai Jiuyou did not hesitate or fear, remaining steadfast as a rock.

I laugh as I brandish my sword to the heavens; whether I stay or go, my heart remains steadfast like the Kunlun Mountains!
All beings were infected by this spirit. That somewhat thin figure was now so majestic, like a divine mountain, as if as long as he was there, all beings under his protection would be free from worry.

The Golden Crow Emperor's gaze shifted, and he moved his body to block the entrance to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

He didn't want to shield Li Yao from disaster; in fact, he even hoped that Li Yao would perish.

If Li Yao succeeds in transcending the tribulation, then what is he? The coexistence of two emperors is a myth, but for the one who breaks through first, it is a disgrace.

If possible, Jinwu would even prefer to sit idly by and do nothing.

But he had a sense of shame. As the current emperor, while ruling the universe, he also had the responsibility to protect all living beings.

The most important of these is fighting against the Supreme Being.

He's already in Beidou now, so leaving is impossible.

But he can let the water out and just pretend.

In the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, there was only one supreme divine thought, which posed no threat to him whatsoever.

If the Supreme One truly wants to emerge, he will stop him and throw a match to make it go away.

Click!
On the edge of the universe, black lightning intertwines, a forbidden and terrifying power that can turn any living being that comes into contact with even the slightest trace into ashes.

Even just watching from afar makes one's primordial spirit tremble, as if it is about to be destroyed.

An ominous aura permeated the air; this was a calamity unlike any seen before, one that even the cultivators of the Heavenly Shroud had never heard of.

Throughout the myriad realms, all living beings were curious, but this time, no bystander stepped forward to explain.

Oh, no, there was a person staring incredulously at the sky, his body almost collapsing to the ground.

"My lord, what's wrong?" a Suanni beast asked curiously.

It had never seen him so distraught since it had followed its master.

Although the aura from beyond the heavens was terrifying, they were separated from them by most of the universe. Logically speaking, the Lord should not act this way.

"Is this... the legendary Creation Tribulation?" Zhang Bairen asked incredulously.

He wasn't quite sure, having only seen a description of such a calamity in an ancient book.

The ancient book records the scene when the Desolate Emperor created the laws, which is exactly the same as the scene at this moment.

In this vast universe, only Zhang Bairen probably knows about the creation of laws. The current cultivation path in the universe was also created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

"Could this person be comparable to the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?" Zhang Bairen was shocked.

The Desolate Emperor! To the people of the Chaotic Ancient Era, he was an absolute myth.

When he proclaimed himself emperor, rumors even circulated that the Desolate Emperor had already become an immortal.

At that time, Zhang Bairen was just a low-level cultivator with limited knowledge.

But Zhang Bairen believed in his heart that it was true; the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had become an immortal. He had witnessed a peerless powerhouse condense a massive amount of divine source liquid by raising his hand, thanks to a chance encounter.

At the time, they did not know the other party's identity, but later, based on various clues, they determined that the person was probably the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

"Boom!"

An explosion occurred in outer space, and a great calamity began!
