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

Chapter 453 The Power of Precious Techniques
The Heavenly Emperor's Furnace has returned, and the billions of living beings it took away have been relocated to a certain ancient life-bearing planet.

A dazzling array of celestial light descended, like a magnificent canopy, indestructible and eternal, its laws resonating with Li Yao's Dao, thus granting him unparalleled combat power.

With weapons in hand and the All-Encompassing Secret Technique activated, Li Yao's combat power reached its peak.

"Sizzle!", "Sizzle!", "Sizzle!"...

The swords slaughtered all paths, causing the imperial artifacts to tremble and evolve into countless chaotic sword energies. Their celestial light shone brightly, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, and the three thousand great worlds were the first to press down.

This was a fully revived Supreme Emperor Weapon, its power was terrifying. Several pieces were shattered by Li Yao, but the remaining ones continued to attack.

However, Li Yao was not afraid at all. His fighting spirit was boiling. He had blocked the attack of more than a dozen imperial artifacts before. Now that the Heavenly Emperor Furnace had returned, he had reduced the number of imperial artifacts attacking him, so he was even less afraid.

"boom!"

Li Yao made his move. With the Heavenly Emperor Furnace above his head, he unleashed a powerful punch that seemed to shatter the entire starry sky, leaving only the unparalleled light of his fist.

With a deafening roar, all living beings in the universe trembled. The boundless divine laws transformed into light were too dazzling for them to see. Only some great clans managed to glimpse a little through the imperial array patterns left by their ancestors.

Immediately, the expressions of these people changed drastically. The Heavenly Emperor had a divine furnace on his head, making him almost impervious to all magic. He was all-powerful and had no defense. His fists were like dragons, blasting one ancient imperial weapon after another away.

Some of the weaker weapons cracked under the Heavenly Emperor's Fist, clearly suffering severe damage.

"war……"

A loud shout resounded throughout the universe, accompanied by a series of Daoist chants. It was the Heavenly Emperor roaring; he was unharmed and was even taking the initiative to attack.

The True Dragon Treasure Technique unfolded, runes filled the sky, and the dragon's might was boundless, evolving into various life-and-death techniques. Li Yao seemed to transform into a true dragon, every inch of his flesh and blood becoming a weapon of slaughter.

The dragon roared and runes intertwined, and a real dragon appeared, lifelike, circling around Li Yao as if protecting him.

This was the first time Li Yao had fully revealed the profound meaning of the True Dragon Treasure Technique. The Daoist arts of the leader of the Ten Fiends, after an era, shone with new brilliance on the ruins of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

True dragons are the most perfect beings among billions of races. They are omniscient and omnipotent, almost without flaws, and are born for the Dao.

This clan, as long as they cultivate step by step, can enter the realm of Immortal Kings and become the best among them.

This alone proves the extraordinary nature of the true dragon.

It should be understood that no one dares to say for sure that anyone will be able to enter the realm of Immortal King in the future; everything is unknown. Only the True Dragon Clan is known to all that, as long as they do not perish prematurely, the gates to the Immortal King realm will be open to them.

The True Dragon Treasure Technique, as the clan's inherited divine skill, is truly boundless in its power. Once one can glimpse its mysteries, one can roam the world freely with it.

Li Yao possesses the Heavenly Book. While he may not be able to speak for other aspects, in terms of comprehension, he is unmatched among those at the same level, and no one can rival him.

Therefore, although his understanding of the True Dragon Treasure Technique has not yet reached its pinnacle, it is already quite proficient, and he has grasped seven-tenths of its profound mystery.

Li Yao was extremely arrogant at this moment. He was now terrifyingly powerful, and his combat strength, which had already broken through to its limit, erupted even stronger once again.

"A mere Ascended Supreme Being? I could kill him with a single punch," he thought to himself.

"kill!"

The Supreme Beings roared and coordinated with each other, their Imperial Laws forming a unified force to surround and kill Li Yao.

This is a battle with no retreat, a war to be fought to the death!

"Boom!"

Li Yao transformed into a dragon, a divine form he had once comprehended, which, combined with the True Dragon Treasure Technique, complemented each other perfectly. Then, the dragon soared into the sky, rushing past and locking onto the two supreme beings ahead.

This is a crazy move; abandoning defense and exposing oneself to the attack range of the other supreme beings.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Blood splattered thirty thousand feet high, and the bodies of the two supreme beings who were locked on exploded, unable to resist, as blood rained down.

At the same time, the attacks from the other supreme beings arrived, engulfing the true dragon. Both sides were attacking, resulting in only two supreme beings being injured.

"what……"

A series of shrill screams rang out as the two supreme primordial spirits cried out, trying to escape, but to no avail. They were suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor's Great Dao and were being obliterated at an extremely rapid pace.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor's Furnace roared, unleashing billions of feet of immortal light, eternally indestructible, transforming into a sacred domain impervious to all laws, which actually blocked the combined attack of the Venerables.

"boom!"

In the end, the two supreme beings perished, their bodies burning fiercely, their primordial spirits turning to ashes.

In contrast, the Heavenly Emperor only staggered backward, but otherwise suffered no other injuries.

This scene stunned everyone; no one had expected the battle to unfold in this way.

Despite the possibility of being attacked by the other Supreme Beings, he killed two Ascended Supreme Beings with a single blow, yet remained unharmed himself.

It has to be said that this is very domineering and demonstrates the invincible strength of the Heavenly Emperor.

"How is this possible?!" The Venerables were shocked.

My initial confidence has crumbled somewhat.

Since the start of the great battle, five of them have fallen, yet they have not seen any results, which has made all the Venerables feel somewhat horrified.

With a thunderous roar, Li Yao continued his attack, giving the other venerables no time to think. He charged into the crowd like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable and causing four or five people to cough up blood in succession.

The True Dragon Treasure Technique was performed, with runes densely covering the area and divine light intertwining. Every move and stance displayed invincible power, and the divine force unleashed with every gesture was difficult for even the Supreme Being to resist.

With a "poof," in just a few breaths, another Emperor was smashed into a bloody pulp, his primordial spirit turning into a rain of light.

This scene was too astonishing, like a myth. Surrounded by supreme beings, he moved as if he were in an empty land.

The deities' expressions changed drastically; they realized something was wrong—the Heavenly Emperor was acting very strangely.

Logically speaking, everyone is actually in the same realm, but he is too powerful, clearly exceeding the limits of the current realm and reaching another level.

Fairy!
Without hesitation, the venerable ones considered this possibility.

Only a legendary immortal could withstand the combined attack of more than a dozen emperors and survive, instead striking back and injuring them.

However, the Heavenly Emperor did not become an immortal, his laws did not change, and his body, though powerful, did not exceed the scope of this realm.

The assembled deities couldn't understand; they couldn't comprehend the Heavenly Emperor's power. Why was he so powerful?
But it was too late to think about these things now. They had no way out. The only way to continue living was to kill the Heavenly Emperor, divide his blood, and absorb the essence of immortality.

"boom!"

The Venerable Ones fought desperately, burning their essence and origin. A terrifying aura spread out, like the creation of heaven and earth. Under this fluctuation, even the universe showed signs of re-evolution.

They attacked together, disregarding everything, their hysteria clearly visible in their eyes.

In the midst of a fierce battle, the starry sky was filled with the laws of the imperial path, the killing intent was overwhelming, and runes filled the sky. With a loud bang, the universe trembled, and amidst the clanging of metal, an imperial artifact was shattered by Li Yao, scattering fragments of immortal gold in all directions.

Blood blossomed, a crimson expanse, and several supreme beings, unable to dodge in time, had their bodies slashed by fragments of imperial artifacts.

But compared to the physical pain, they were even more terrified. The Heavenly Emperor was too powerful, and it seemed that there was no hope of victory.

Even with their best efforts, it seemed like it wasn't enough, and this realization filled them with despair.

So this is what true invincibility looks like. "Bang!"

Suddenly, Li Yao took a step, transforming into a seven-colored Qilin. Its appearance was solemn and majestic, covered in endless radiance, exuding grandeur and magnificence, yet it also burst forth with endless killing intent, ferocious and terrifying.

A unicorn rides on auspicious clouds, dispelling all human calamities!
In many mythological records, the Qilin is a mythical creature representing good fortune and is not considered a murderer.

But in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, it's completely the opposite; endless battles are the law and the main theme here.

The Qilin occupies the central position in the sky, embodying both auspiciousness and righteousness, but it also possesses a fierce nature. Once it unleashes its ferocity, its murderous aura shakes the past and present.

"boom!"

The universe trembled, and the starry sky shattered. The Heavenly Emperor strode forward, and behind him was a colossal, ferocious beast that also raised its right foot and stomped down.

The Great Dao collapsed, and all kinds of laws burst open like bubbles. The enormous Qilin feet were like the embodiment of the Dao, pressing down like a colossal mountain supporting the sky.

"what……"

A supreme being roared and used his imperial weapon to defend himself, but with a sound of metal shattering, his weapon, which he had forged over countless years, exploded.

Various forbidden techniques were unleashed, and the Supreme One fought desperately, but none of them could withstand the Qilin Treasure Technique. In the end, with a "poof," he exploded into a bloody mess.

Li Yao's feet ground against the ground as if he were crushing an ant, his expression completely unmoved.

Clad in flowing blue robes, tall and slender with flowing black hair, Li Yao exuded a dazzling celestial aura and dignified righteousness.

In the Pure Land of the Undying Mountain, the Ancient Emperor Qilin's eyes shone brightly, his body trembled slightly, and his royal blood surged like a rushing river, unable to calm down.

"Father, this is..." Huo Lin'er stood to the side, her pretty face blank, her bright starry eyes looking at the Qilin Ancient Emperor with disbelief.

"I know nothing about it either; I have never seen such a method before." The Qilin Ancient Emperor's expression was also very complicated.

The Taoist magic used by the Heavenly Emperor stirred the blood within him, a yearning that came from the depths of his soul.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that the Qilin clan had produced immortals, and that the magic was created by the Qilin Immortal.

The Heavenly Emperor stormed the Immortal Path, and the Immortal Realm was no longer a legend but a real existence. Extending this line of thought, the concept of immortals was no longer just a guess.

He never expected that the Heavenly Emperor would have such good fortune, obtaining the supreme immortal techniques of the Qilin Clan.

Not only that, but the previous technique was also extremely powerful, far surpassing the forbidden techniques of the ancient emperors, and was presumably also a celestial technique.

Immortal arts related to true dragons?

The Qilin Ancient Emperor gazed at another battlefield. The battle in the desolate starry sky was astonishing. Purple immortal light bloomed, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Bells shook. Each bell was like an ancient universe, constantly suppressing the enemy.

"I was so focused on the Heavenly Emperor that I didn't notice that Brother Wanlong's combat power has increased significantly. Perhaps he has also learned the True Dragon Immortal Technique." In just a moment, he realized this.

Once they reach that level, there is no further path forward in the world; every step forward is like groping in the fog.

At times like these, if one could draw upon a divine technique, the path to the Great Dao would be much smoother, and one might even have a chance to glimpse the realm of immortality.

"Jingle Bell!"

The dragon's might swept across the starry sky. The Dragon Emperor unleashed his divine power, his magic overwhelming, and engaged in a great battle with an ascended supreme being.

This was also an ancient emperor from the Primordial Era, originally on par with him.

It has reached the pinnacle of refinement, recreating the once flawless imperial might, enough to wage war against him.

But after three days apart, everything is different.

The fact that Wanlonghuang was able to attain enlightenment in an environment like Shrouding the Heavens speaks volumes about his talent. In the Immortal Realm, he would at least be considered a True Immortal. All he lacked was opportunity and the right environment.

Over the years, he has studied the True Dragon Treasure Technique day and night, and has gained a lot. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is no longer the ignorant man he once was.

Even without using any special techniques, his own combat power alone is enough to overwhelm a Supreme Being who has reached the Ascension stage, demonstrating a remarkable transformation.

The Ancient Emperor of Qilin watched with great envy. Is this the benefit of being the Heavenly Emperor's father-in-law?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at his daughter. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her beauty surpassing even the stars, in no way inferior to the Dragon Princess. If only…

The moment the Qilin Ancient Emperor had such a thought, he immediately cut it off.

He couldn't bring himself to offer his daughter up as an object for a treasure, even if the reward was a magical technique.

The daughter's Daoist partner must be someone she likes; the Ancient Emperor Qilin will not interfere.

Of course, if Huo Lin'er later falls in love with the Heavenly Emperor, that would be the best of both worlds. In this universe, is there a better husband than the Heavenly Emperor?
"boom!"

Just as he was pondering this, a terrifying roar erupted once more, and in the starry sky, another supreme being perished, trampled to death by the Qilin Step.

The Heavenly Emperor is like a supreme deity, killing ancient emperors as easily as taking something out of a bag, highlighting his effortless and carefree nature.

"Boom!"

Li Yao was dignified and righteous, his hands constantly forming hand seals, demonstrating the profound meaning of the Qilin Treasure Technique. Runes filled the sky, and his roar shook the universe.

The enormous beast roared, its golden fur stood on end, and its sharp horns on its head resembled celestial swords, surging with chaos and boundless sword energy.

"Qiang!"

At the same time, the Qilin opened its mouth, surrounded by celestial radiance, and spat out a celestial sword, which landed in Li Yao's hand.

The sword gleamed with a cold light, snow-white and sharp. At the hilt was a Qilin with its mouth wide open, from which the blade emerged. The hilt was uneven, as if formed by interlocking scales.

"Hey!"

The Heavenly Emperor raised his hand, and the Qilin Sword swept across, its light illuminating the universe and its cold gleam piercing the starry sky.

This is a profound mystery that can only be revealed when the Qilin Treasure Technique has been evolved to its deepest level; its killing power is unparalleled.

The supreme being in front of him blocked the attack, a divine wheel appeared behind his head, and myriad spirits emerged around him, protecting him in the center, making his defense astonishing.

But the Qilin Sword is invincible; its sword light is vast and mighty, and all living beings are beheaded.

The Supreme Being was shocked, but he couldn't dodge it at all and could only meet it head-on. However, his imperial weapon had already been shattered, so he could only use his fists to resist the Qilin Sword.

With a flash of cold light, both of his arms were severed, blood gushing forth thousands of feet high. The wounds were covered with terrifying laws that could not be healed and were eroding his Dao.

Of course, he had no chance to recover. After Li Yao swept his sword across the ground, he cleaved Mount Hua in two, splitting the Supreme Being in two perfectly symmetrical from head to toe.

Another ancient emperor has fallen. Li Yao is now in a bloodthirsty frenzy, and people all over the universe are speechless with shock.

It's too fast. The Supreme Beings are like chickens and ducks, constantly being harvested. At first, they could rely on their numerical advantage to contend with the Heavenly Emperor.

But with the number of people decreasing, even resistance has become futile.

The Heavenly Emperor was slaying supreme beings at an increasingly rapid pace, with an overwhelming and devastating effect.

"Is it too late to leave now?" Li Yao took a step, unleashing his amazing speed.

The supreme being finally became afraid and wanted to escape, but such an action would be tantamount to placing himself in the most conspicuous position.
