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

Chapter 439 Self-Severance
Such an existence, manifesting its Dao traces during the Heavenly Tribulation, how could it not frighten the world and chill the hearts of geniuses?

Deathly silence!

The entire starry sky and the vast sea of ​​lightning seemed to have come to a standstill.

That supreme figure sat cross-legged on the imperial throne, his divine might boundless, reigning over the four seas and eight wastelands, overlooking the long river of time.

He simply sat there, yet the oppressive feeling he brought to all living beings was like the eternal blue sky falling down.

Weiwei's pretty face turned deathly pale, her blood seemed to freeze, and the surging magical power and divine laws within her body ceased to circulate.

As the one undergoing tribulation, she was the one most affected, directly facing the might of the Heavenly Emperor.

It was already so terrifying before it even stepped off the temple; how could we possibly withstand it when it truly descended upon the world?
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

With a sudden sound, to the disbelief of the world, the nine young emperors' figures shattered, turning into a rain of light that swept back to the center of the heavenly tribulation.

Those were nine thick divine rays, carrying the laws of the Dao, flowing upstream and converging on the Heavenly Emperor.

Instantly, the previously dim figure of the Heavenly Emperor gradually became clearer, and after a moment, it solidified completely, with its supreme pressure becoming tangible.

"boom!"

Boundless divine power, vast and boundless, like a surging ocean, the Azure-Clad Heavenly Emperor rose from his throne and stepped out.

The sea of ​​lightning swept across the sky, the Milky Way reversed, and in an instant, the Heavenly Emperor appeared before Weiwei.

He was not particularly tall or imposing, but rather slender and well-proportioned. His face was blurred and indistinct. He stood on a celestial furnace, which emitted a dazzling ten-colored celestial light, radiant and colorful.

Weiwei's expression changed drastically, and she became alert and wary.

As his bedmate, she knew Li Yao's strength all too well. The Heavenly Tribulation had imprinted his Dao mark on him. Even if he was not as strong as Li Yao, as long as he had 30% of the strength of the original Li Yao at the same level, he would be able to kill everyone in one move.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, with astonishing speed, a celestial being appeared, faster than lightning, its speed was astonishing.

The onlookers in the distance paled; even the Great Sage was not immune to such reactions. As powerful as they were, they could only barely catch a glimpse of the blurry figure.

If they were in this situation, they would likely have to pay a considerable price.

"when!"

Vivi remained on high alert. Thanks to her Celestial Eyes, she could see everything clearly. The potential stored within her body erupted, and she reacted faster than ever before, raising her Blue Gold Halberd to block in front of her.

A deafening roar resounded as the Heavenly Emperor unleashed a palm strike, imbued with an indescribable and vast divine power. Even the solid, eternal blue gold was slightly bent, exhibiting a distinct arc.

blocked!
However, the power transmitted through the halberd was still too much for Weiwei to bear. It was an overwhelming torrent that struck her like a heavy blow, sending her flying backward.

While still in mid-air, blood gushed from her red lips, her two slender hands exploded, and the blue-gold halberd was sent flying by the immense force, piercing through dozens of stars before finally embedding itself in a desolate planet.

Vivi's body was cracked, like a beautiful piece of jade that had been dropped on the ground and then pieced back together. It looked like it hadn't broken, but in fact it was already riddled with holes and covered in blood.

Even with the activation of the "Zhe" secret technique, it was impossible to reverse the situation, demonstrating the power of that palm strike. If it hadn't been blocked in time, it would likely have turned into blood and gore in one blow, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

This is the power of the Heavenly Emperor—unstoppable, sweeping away everything in its path, and unstoppable!

The spectators were startled, a bad feeling creeping over them. Although they weren't facing it now, one day it would be their turn, unless they stopped at their current level for the rest of their lives.

If the Heavenly Emperor's mark appears at that time, the final result will probably be that they will simply wash their necks and wait to die.

"Hey!"

Just then, the Heavenly Emperor, formed from lightning, moved again, giving the tribulation seeker no time to react, and forcefully killed him.

"Holy Lord!" From afar, the saints of Yao Guang's expressions changed drastically, and they cried out anxiously.

At this moment, Weiwei's condition was extremely poor. Even with the secret of the word "Zhe", she could not recover in an instant. Her combat strength was probably less than 30% of her peak. How could she withstand this attack?
The consequence of being unable to stop it is death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.

Not only the Sages of Yaoguang, but everyone else's expressions changed drastically, and their hearts trembled.

The fairy in the Thunder Sea is not just the Lord of Yao Guang; she is also the Heavenly Emperor's Daoist partner.

Such a person, despite only being a Saint King in cultivation, is absolutely second only to the emperor in status. Even those who have attained enlightenment would have to pay their respects to him if they were in his presence.

Even the most powerful would regard them as peers, rather than looking down upon them.

If such a great figure were to truly perish, no one could bear such a price.

No one knows whether the Heavenly Emperor will go mad at that moment, and in a moment of weakness raise his sword to kill all of them who are watching.

Thinking of this, everyone became agitated. Some even disregarded everything else and prepared to charge into the sea of ​​thunder, forcibly intervene in the heavenly tribulation, and save the Lord of Yao Guang.

Bringing down one's own heavenly tribulation does not necessarily mean certain death, but if the Heavenly Emperor harbors murderous intent, there is no way to survive, no matter where in the world.

Ye Fan stepped on the Xingzi Secret and rushed into the sea of ​​lightning like lightning.

At first, he was certain that with Li Yao around, Weiwei couldn't possibly be in any danger. But this was a gamble. Nobody knew if Li Yao was currently in Beidou. If he wasn't, Weiwei would be doomed.

Never mind, let's save them first, we can't worry about anything else.

Li Yao had shown him countless kindnesses, taking care of him from the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation. Although he didn't say it aloud, he always remembered it in his heart.

However, the Heavenly Emperor is supreme and his cultivation is unparalleled. There is nothing he can do to serve him. At this moment, he can finally do something within his power.

Thinking this, Ye Fan disregarded everything, raised his right hand, and began the Heavenly Emperor Fist stance, preparing to unleash a devastating strike.

But at that moment, heaven and earth suddenly froze, the turbulent sea of ​​thunder solidified, and the Heavenly Emperor, whose lightning had gathered, stood still in mid-air, his fist hovering in front of Weiwei's head, just a hair's breadth away from striking.

Weiwei was exhausted, but there was no worry on her face. She knew that Li Yao was watching and would step in when she was completely helpless.

"Thump!" "Thump!"...

The footsteps sounded, not loud, but each step was in harmony with the road, like the beat of a drum, and everyone's heart pounded in rhythm with them.

Another figure in green appeared, but compared to the green figure formed by lightning, the one who appeared later completely overwhelmed the former in every aspect.

The lightning-condensed Heavenly Emperor only possessed a fraction of the Heavenly Emperor's aura and demeanor, yet it gave people an invincible feeling. However, in front of the Heavenly Emperor's true form, it was like a small witch seeing a great witch.

The two are not even in the same dimension. In other words, there is no such thing as "imitating Dong Shi" when it comes to Beidou. Otherwise, people would definitely have made that thought immediately.

Counterfeit goods are counterfeit goods after all. Even if the manufacturer is this world, it can only recreate a fraction of the true splendor of the Heavenly Emperor.

"How are you feeling? Did you gain anything?" Li Yao helped Weiwei up with heartache, held her in his arms, and spoke of manipulating fate and creating everything.

Vivi's previously terrifying injuries have been completely healed, and she has returned to her peak condition.

This is an unimaginable method, resembling time reversal, rather than simply healing injuries.

"How did I do?" Vivi's pretty face lit up with a bright smile, like a little girl waiting for praise.

Li Yao chuckled, a doting look on his face, his voice gentle, "You did very well, so it's no wonder you only intervened now, right?" "No, I know you wanted me to hone my skills a bit more, to prepare for the future." Weiwei shook her head, her voice clear and soft, the image of a female warrior vanishing completely.

Ye Fan, who had already fought his way close, was speechless, feeling like he had just been fed a huge dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a public display of affection), and silently retreated.

How embarrassing! I should have known better than to rush over there.

Of course, he only thought that way. If he had to do it all over again, even without knowing if Li Yao was there, he would still take action. Better safe than sorry.

"Alright, so many people are watching." Weiwei gently pushed Li Yao away from the warm embrace, her pretty face flushed.

She felt very uncomfortable and shy being hugged and kissed in front of so many people.

Li Yao didn't mind, but he didn't have a habit of showing affection in front of people, so he let go of her hand.

Bloodthirsty audience: ...

Everyone lowered their heads, keeping their eyes down and their minds closed, not daring to look at anything, wishing they were blind.

It wasn't until a loud "boom" that they looked up at Tianyu again, their expressions changing drastically, and they lost all interest in thinking about anything else.

When someone interferes with the tribulation of lightning, the heavens and earth are enraged and prepare a tribulation for the interferer, to punish them with divine retribution.

As the Heavenly Emperor, his tribulation was naturally the most powerful imperial tribulation, causing the entire universe to tremble.

Nine layers of celestial light suddenly appeared, the sky was in chaos, lightning flashed, imperial might permeated the air, and all paths were active, as if the world was about to be destroyed.

The aura of the Heavenly Emperor condensed by the lightning surged, no longer at the Saint King level, but frantically advancing towards the Great Emperor level.

Seeing this, Li Yao coldly shouted, waving his hand as if swatting a mosquito, "Insolence!"

The Heavenly Emperor was enraged, his power like thunder from the heavens, his divine might unparalleled, higher than heaven and earth, his supreme aura vast and boundless.

"boom!"

It was just a single palm strike, its power beyond description. The lightning gathered at the edge of the sky exploded, and endless chaotic energy spread.

The great calamity... was shattered with a slap!

"Gudong!"

The sound of swallowing filled the air, and everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned, as if they were watching a myth.

This is far too domineering. Just how strong is the Heavenly Emperor? There's no limit to his power.

That was a great calamity that people could only dream of, both desire and fear.

For those who have attained the Dao, leaping to the pinnacle of enlightenment and undergoing the Great Emperor Tribulation is a perilous journey with a slim chance of survival. Most are reduced to ashes, and only a few manage to successfully prove their Dao.

Such a powerful tribulation lightning was no match for a single slap from the Heavenly Emperor!

Ancient earthquakes shook everywhere, and they once again witnessed the power of the Heavenly Emperor, before whom even heaven and earth were in absolute subordination.

After striking the lightning tribulation, Li Yao turned his gaze to himself, where lightning had coalesced.

He was suppressed there, in an eternal state, and did not disappear when the tribulation of lightning dissipated.

Li Yao's Dao Zhen is there, and even Heaven and Earth cannot interfere with it.

People were puzzled, not knowing what the Heavenly Emperor was going to do, and they all looked on curiously.

"Hey!"

Amidst everyone's curious gazes, Li Yao stretched out his hand, made a light slash, and struck nothingness... Nothing happened.

His strike just now seemed to have struck nothing, but people knew that the Heavenly Emperor could not have made such a move without a reason; there must have been a deeper reason, but they had not yet grasped it.

Everyone watched silently, not missing a single detail, their eyes searching every corner of the world.

Li Yao ignored them, and after doing all that, he disappeared into the starry sky with Weiwei.

After an unknown amount of time, someone exclaimed, "It's Heaven and Earth! The Heavenly Emperor has cleaved Heaven and Earth in two!"

The speaker was an old man, dressed in hemp clothing, carrying a wood-chopping knife in his hand. He was thin and looked like an ordinary old man chopping wood in the mountains.

After the Heavenly Emperor appeared during the Heavenly Tribulation, the old man came to this starry sky, but no one paid attention to him, as if he had always existed.

Only now were people suddenly shocked to see the founder of the Dao Palace, the strongest of one of the universe's hegemonic forces, a person on the verge of attaining Dao, standing there.

Although the Golden Crow Clan has expanded rapidly over the years and no one can stop it, even forces such as the Dao Palace and the Divine Court have chosen to retreat and live in seclusion because they are afraid of the current emperor.

However, no one can underestimate these forces. Putting aside everything else, the fact that they have Dao-enlightened beings stationed there makes them undoubtedly worthy of being called the superpowers of the universe.

However, people weren't very interested in him at the moment; instead, they were drawn to his words.

Did the Heavenly Emperor cleave Heaven and Earth with a single stroke? What does this mean?
"The Heavenly Emperor formed by the Heavenly Tribulation is too powerful. Even if it only possesses one-third of the power of the Heavenly Emperor himself, no one can stop it. If this is not changed, the path of future geniuses will be blocked."

Another figure appeared, also a supreme expert, the Emperor of the Divine Court, who spoke in person.

"What the Heavenly Emperor just severed was the Dao trace he left in this world. With fewer Dao traces, the Heavenly Emperor's strength, marked by the Heavenly Tribulation, will also decrease greatly, so as not to block the path of those who come after him."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood, and then a sense of amazement and admiration welled up in their hearts.

Amazed by the Heavenly Emperor's power, which was unpredictable and divine, he severed the traces of his own Dao left in this world.

This is easy to say, but incredibly difficult to do.

Heaven and earth have their own rules of operation, which no one can change, let alone cut off a part of them. This would be to destroy heaven and earth and alter the great power of nature.

But just now, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to be doing it casually, just making a light stroke, without showing any divine power, as if he had just waved his hand.

It's like someone walking down the street, suddenly waving their hand, wrapping their wide sleeve around their arm, then putting their hand behind their back and continuing to walk.

There were no unnecessary movements; everything was natural, like a trivial little thing that happened in the warm afternoon.

But people's reverence for the Heavenly Emperor did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, they worshipped him sincerely, exclaiming, "The Heavenly Emperor is merciful!"

The peerless genius breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the sky had cleared up.

Although they don't want to admit it, the Heavenly Emperor manifested by the Heavenly Tribulation is really powerful. If they face him during their future tribulations, they will most likely meet with bad luck.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor has taken action, severing most of the Dao traces and preventing the heavens and earth from imprinting a Heavenly Emperor who is too powerful, this undoubtedly opens a path for life for all living beings.

The Heavenly Emperor, with his great benevolence, opened a path for future generations to live!

The universe was abuzz with excitement, and people spontaneously began to sing praises of the Heavenly Emperor's greatness.

There is a kind of faith that is dedicated to the Heavenly Emperor, whose name is widely known, even among mortals.
