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

Chapter 422. Negotiating peace?

"My God!"

Is this a draw?

"The Heavenly Emperor can truly rival the Emperor!"

The heavens and myriad realms trembled, and all those who had the ability to see the border battlefield were unable to remain calm.

Contrary to expectations, the Emperor did not overpower the Heavenly Emperor; the scene appeared to be evenly matched!
Throughout the entire universe, everyone was moved and couldn't help but feel awe.

Although the Heavenly Emperor is amazing, he lacks the maturity of time and should not be able to be compared with the Emperor.

But the facts speak louder than words, leaving those who believe in the Emperor with a heavy heart.

On the edge of the universe, vast lightning swept across like a raging dragon, and two figures, like gods, stood in the sky, emitting a brilliant and dazzling light.

Without a doubt, both Li Yao and the Immortal Emperor are perfect in every way.

Their skin was fair and flawless, like exquisite jade. Their facial features were sharply defined, as if sculpted by a divine hand. Therefore, although they were incredibly handsome, even surpassing the beauty of women, they did not appear effeminate at all; one glance was enough to identify them as men.

One person, dressed in brocade, exuded a striking handsomeness, like a shining pearl, while the other, dressed in simple blue, had his good looks overshadowed, yet exuded a sense of detachment.

They all appeared gentle, with an ethereal and otherworldly air, like immortals. Yet, the moment they revealed even the slightest hint of their aura, they shook the heavens and the myriad realms, transforming into unapproachable deities.

With just a glance, it seemed to solidify into reality; a thunderclap suddenly appeared in the black sea of ​​lightning!
"I really didn't expect that someone like you could emerge in such a short time." The Undying Emperor acknowledged Li Yao's strength, but then added, "However, you still lack a bit of foundation."

At their level, acknowledging the enemy's strength doesn't make them appear weak, but rather it's an objective fact.

Although they had only exchanged one move, the Undying Emperor already understood that this was another being without beginning, and extremely troublesome.

Li Yao remained silent, his eyes like cold lightning. He sensed that the other party had something unsaid, so he simply didn't reply.

As expected, the Undying Emperor continued, "Time is like a knife that cuts down geniuses. People like us are rare in the entire history of ancient times. We are enough to change the world. If we continue to fight, there will be great changes for all eternity."

"You know why I'm here. If you're willing to grant my request, I'll let it go. How about it?" He wanted to obtain the True Phoenix Treasure Technique without bloodshed through a transaction.

"Ha, hahaha..." Upon hearing the Immortal Emperor's words, Li Yao first sneered with a hint of sarcasm, then burst into laughter, his voice shaking the stars.

He didn't expect that after witnessing his strength, the Undying Emperor would actually want to negotiate peace.

What is this operation?
How could Li Yao possibly agree? Admittedly, it was just a True Phoenix Technique, nothing special to him.

Having access to divine scriptures, the texts were the least valuable thing to him.

He has only been cultivating for a little over two hundred years, but he now possesses more Immortal King techniques than he can count on one hand.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, he will possess more Immortal King techniques, and even Quasi-Immortal Emperor scriptures, Immortal Emperor scriptures...

But even if he values ​​it highly, it has to be done willingly by Li Yao. He can pass it on to others, but he will absolutely not accept anyone reaching into his pocket to snatch it.

"It seems you intend to refuse my offer?" The Immortal Emperor's expression was indifferent.

"If you really go all out in the fight, you'll be the one who falls," he warned.

Li Yao sneered, his fighting spirit surging, "Time has eventually worn down your fighting spirit. The immortal emperor who dared to assassinate the emperor before even attaining enlightenment has finally disappeared."

"No wonder, after cultivating for millions of years, he was suppressed by the Great Emperor Wushi, and even his faith was suppressed."

boom!
These words resounded like thunder, spreading throughout the heavens and the myriad realms, heard by all living beings, causing their souls to tremble.

This news was so shocking that it left everyone in disbelief.

The Great Emperor Wushi once fought against the Immortal Emperor? The world was completely unaware of this.

Clearly, this is an ancient secret, one that even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones of life are horrified about, because even they did not know about this battle beforehand.

People could not remain calm. That was the Great Emperor Wushi, the most powerful emperor in human history before the Heavenly Emperor, who swept across everything, was invincible, and even silenced the forbidden zones of life.

The mysterious and ancient underworld, a forbidden zone unknown to the world, can only bow down and become ghosts before Wushi. Even those who possess a celestial artifact dare not challenge him.

This powerful figure once engaged in an unprecedented battle with another mythical figure, but no one knows about it.

It has to be said that this news made countless bloodthirsty viewers beat their chests and stamp their feet, crying out that they were born in the wrong era.

"These two actually fought each other?!"

"Although I didn't notice it, it must have happened. During that time, I was still relatively clear-headed and sensed that Wushi's aura disappeared for a while, but it returned not long after. I was puzzled for a time, but I didn't think about it deeply."

The forbidden zone of life in the Big Dipper constellation trembled, and countless supreme beings felt it.

At their level, they are in harmony with heaven and earth. They may be completely unaware of many things, but if there is even the slightest trace, they can follow the clues and uncover the secrets behind them.

In the desolate borderlands, the Undying Emperor's pupils narrowed, and a murderous intent surged forth. This was one of the things he least wanted to face, and now it had been exposed like this, revealing his bloody wound.

"Fine, very well, it seems you really don't want to live anymore." The Undying Emperor roared, unleashing a furious strike, his Heavenly Blade cleaving the universe in two.

"boom!"

Li Yao also made his move, unleashing the "Soldier" secret technique and wielding the Immortal Gold Furnace to crash into the Heavenly Blade.

At the same time, he threw a punch, unleashing overwhelming divine power and surging divine light that covered the heavens—an invincible fist technique.

Throughout his cultivation journey, Li Yao has mastered numerous unparalleled martial arts techniques, including the Sun Emperor Fist, the Moon Emperor Fist, the Four Strikes of the Universe, and the True Dragon Fist. He has long been a master of martial arts, having integrated all these techniques into a unified whole, his punches capable of shattering the heavens.

The overwhelming fist light surged forward like a hurricane, running parallel to the Immortal Furnace, and together they shook the Undying Emperor.

"boom!"

A terrifying collision erupted. The Undying Emperor wielded the Heavenly Blade in one hand and slashed down, colliding with the Immortal Furnace. He also clenched his fist with the other hand and swung it out fiercely, colliding with the Emperor's Fist.

Boom!

The edge of the universe was shattered, with terrifying cracks everywhere. Endless chaos surged, and divine light radiated in all directions, as if thousands of stars had gathered together and then exploded, releasing energy and light that were far too terrifying.

Much later, everything returned to calm.

In the arena, the two separated and passed each other.

But the next moment, they collided violently again, the laws of nature intertwined, countless chains of divine order broke, and blinding divine light illuminated the vast world.

They stopped wasting words, for they both knew that this battle had to be decided, and further discussion would be pointless. Li Yao, with the celestial furnace atop his head, radiated dazzling celestial light, protecting him and providing a perfect balance of offense and defense.

The Immortal Emperor wielded the Heavenly Blade, possessing unparalleled killing power, but he had no good way to deal with the Immortal Furnace.

The advantages of a profound foundation in weaponry were revealed at this moment.

Over the past two hundred years, Li Yao has melted countless amounts of immortal gold into it, at least more than ten times the amount, so that when placed above his head, it is almost impossible for it to be broken.

Relying on this, Li Yao was all offense and no defense, becoming extremely arrogant and domineering. Every move he made was imbued with the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

The Creation Tribulation is a world-destroying calamity that can kill ancient emperors, but fortunately, it exists at this moment, which has mitigated the aftershocks of the battle between the two to some extent.

Otherwise, the universe will suffer.

The immense power of their collision was already beginning to transcend the realm of the human world; even in the remote wilderness, far enough from the vast universe, it would inevitably affect the area.

For the ancient emperor, such fluctuations might not have meant much, but for all living beings, it was truly no less than the end of the world.

The Heavenly Emperor's power erupted, and every beam of light that collided streaked across the boundless starry sky. Wherever it went, the field was distorted, creating astonishing destructive power that surpassed the limits!

The two had already fought to the point of madness, their eyes fixed on each other, each move deadly and filled with terrifying ruthlessness.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged over a thousand moves. With a crack, space and time collapsed, and a terrifying storm extinguished the black lightning, only to have it descend from the sky again the next moment.

"boom!"

Another violent collision occurred, the sound deafening. Both men were sent flying backward, their imperial blood scattering across the sky.

Li Yao was nearly cleaved in two by the force of the Heavenly Blade, which eventually broke through the Immortal Furnace's defenses and struck his left shoulder, almost slicing him in half diagonally.

But at the same moment, a terrifying fist suddenly slammed into the Immortal Emperor's head, just a hair's breadth away from the Sendai.

Injury for injury, life for life!
In the end, the Immortal Emperor finally backed down. Sendai was an absolute weakness, and he dared not gamble with it. He abandoned the favorable situation and unleashed a terrifying repulsive force with his sword, sending both of them flying backward at the same time.

On the continent of Yao Guang, everyone was overjoyed. Although they had not won, the fact that they were evenly matched was already a pleasant surprise.

"The Heavenly Emperor is invincible; no matter who the opponent is, he can defeat them!"

"Even the Undying Emperor cannot act arrogantly before the Heavenly Emperor and rewrite the glory of the ancient times!"

The Yao Guang Sect members shouted, having suppressed their emotions for too long. Ever since the appearance of the Undying Emperor, a huge weight had been pressing on their hearts.

Now, the Heavenly Emperor has used his absolute power to let people know that there is no need to worry too much, as he is invincible.

“It seems he doesn’t need any external help, but the cooperation can continue. What do you think, fellow Daoist?” In a chaotic cave in the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Supreme Divine Thought was vast, facing the Yao Guang Continent from afar.

The immortal source was dazzling, radiating brilliant light. Sitting cross-legged in it was a middle-aged man with a tall and imposing figure. His long blue hair was flowing freely, and his aura was astonishing!
This is a self-severed supreme being, but his body is filled with immortal energy, without the slightest trace of violence. On the contrary, he is dignified and upright, with clear eyes!

Among the ancient supreme beings, those possessing this kind of divine charm were extremely rare.

Time is the coldest force in the world; it can obliterate everything, even the will of emperors and kings.

Apart from a few cold-hearted beings like the Stone Emperor, the vast majority of supreme beings actually had emotions and desires at the beginning, and when they looked down on all living beings, they did not regard them as food or blood.

In the end, however, in order to continue living, many supreme beings gave up everything, including their souls.

However, not all supreme beings are like this; a small number of supreme beings have never caused trouble.

Just like the ancient Qilin Emperor, whose will remained unchanged through the long years.

When Wanlonghuang approached him, proposed a deal, and offered his reward, the ancient emperor agreed without much thought.

They had already made preparations, but the final result was that the two sides were evenly matched, so there was no need for them to be born.

"when!"

In just a short while, another great battle broke out in the borderlands, and the two did not stop fighting.

Li Yao's cultivation surged, pushing his combat power to its limit. His right fist erupted with dazzling light, endless Dao traces danced, and runes filled the sky. An ancient universe evolved beneath his fist, propelling the great world forward, standing like a celestial emperor in the world.

The divine power surged forth, like a vast ocean crashing against the coastline; the unparalleled divine force shook the earth, and all things would meet their end under this punch.

This punch incorporates the strengths of many schools of thought and is not confined to a single move or style.

Li Yao is creating a new style of boxing, combining the advantages of the Endless Fist Technique to create a unique style of boxing that belongs to him!
This is not entirely innovative, so it seems much easier. Moreover, the Heavenly Book is also exerting its power. The Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique has stopped being studied and has instead begun to tackle this yet-to-be-born fist technique.

Faced with the overwhelming attack, the Immortal Emperor remained calm and composed, as he was a man who had experienced many great events.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, the power coursing through his entire body. At the moment of striking, it transformed into a palm, unleashing a surge of divine power that split the heavens and the earth, breaking through the fist to become a vast universe, and blocking Li Yao's fist.

Then, endless rays of light burst forth from between his palms and fingers, the condensed magical power transforming into steel needles.

Two unparalleled powerhouses clashed, neither showing weakness, their sharpness transcending eternity, shaking the past and present, competing and vying for supremacy in this era.

boom!
This is yet another mutually destructive fighting style!

As the battle progressed, the Immortal Emperor was clearly enraged.

"Crack!"

The punch, imbued with unparalleled divine power, was indestructible and could break anything. Even the Emperor's divine body could not withstand it. His arm was broken by the immense force, the white bone piercing through the flesh, and five-colored immortal blood slid down.

At the same moment, Li Yao's body trembled violently. The needle tip, as fine as silk thread, was condensed to the extreme and actually broke through the protective divine light and the indestructible body. It pierced into his arm and finally exploded with a hum.

"Pfft!"

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and excruciating pain instantly swept through his entire body. His right hand, which had been clenching his fist, was now completely devoid of flesh and blood, with only the bones still gleaming coldly.

Li Yao's face contorted in pain, but he endured it. His left hand flashed forward like a rainbow, drawing upon the power of lightning.

This is the Thunder Emperor's Hand Seal from the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique. When used in such a situation, it is as if aided by heaven, and its power is terrifyingly immense.

The Undying Emperor responded with ease, his left hand moving in a path like the Dao, or like a divine bird spreading its wings. The endless void trembled, collapsing wherever it went. From the inside out, a sinkhole appeared, filled with surging chaotic energy, but it did not run rampant; instead, it was drawn into his hand.

He cleaved the heavens and earth with his left hand, and saw the chaos!
Then, with supreme magical power, he melted the chaos into a divine shield, impervious to all magic, blocking the Thunder Emperor's handprint.

But the next moment, a piercing scream echoed through the starry sky.
