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

Chapter 454 Slaughtering until no one in the world dares to claim supremacy
That supreme being sacrificed his own life to allow the other supreme beings a moment's respite, but it was only a moment.

In just two breaths, he was struck down and fell into a pool of blood.

The heavens and earth shook violently, time and space shattered, and the battle scene here was captured and shot out towards all parts of the universe. Cultivators with powerful cultivation observed and saw the scenes in the fragments, and they were all shocked.

What kind of immense power is this? Killing a Supreme Being is as easy as slaughtering a chicken or duck; the blade falls swiftly and decisively. Even the ancient emperor, who was once invincible in the vast universe, was powerless to resist.

The Heavenly Emperor's divine might is unparalleled, standing at the pinnacle of this world, with few who can rival him!

Previously, there were many Supreme beings. Although the Heavenly Emperor was strong, it was not easy to kill each Supreme being. He had to exert all his strength and unleash all kinds of supreme techniques.

Now, people have seen how relaxed and carefree the Heavenly Emperor is when he only needs to face one supreme being.

The feeling is like someone walking down the street and suddenly seeing flowers blooming brightly by the roadside, reaching out to pick one – it's as simple as that.

It's an invincible feeling that resonates deeply, making people marvel at the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

Slaughter until no one in the world dares to claim supremacy!

Li Yao turned around and looked at the remaining Supremes, who had already scattered and fled.

Now everyone understands that the Heavenly Emperor is invincible, and all tactics are useless unless they can gather dozens of supreme beings to perhaps suppress and kill the Heavenly Emperor.

Otherwise, it's pointless to even think about besieging and killing the Heavenly Emperor.

The nobles scattered and fled in different directions, hoping to increase their chances of survival.

Of course, they couldn't all escape; some would be caught up by the Heavenly Emperor and subsequently killed.

The outcome is completely unknown; whoever is chosen by the Heavenly Emperor can only accept their fate.

"You were so arrogant just now, now you want to run away? Too late," Li Yao said domineeringly.

"Hey!"

As the secret of the word "行" unfolded, time seemed to stand still. Li Yao randomly selected a Supreme Being and caught up with them.

The starry sky dimmed, countless large stars shattered and floated as meteorites. The ancient emperor of Tianque looked solemn and increased his speed to the limit. The immortal light surrounding his body was restrained and did not diminish in the slightest.

At the same time, the Imperial Laws were activated, concealing his whereabouts.

Don't choose me, don't choose me...

He prayed silently that the Heavenly Emperor would not choose him and would instead target someone else.

In this way, he can seize this moment, find a place to hide, and disappear completely into the universe.

The idea is good, but sometimes things don't go as planned.

A familiar aura drew near, imposing and unapproachable, like a high and mighty god looking down upon all living beings.

"Ah...no, I am willing to submit..."

"Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Qilin Step landed, shaking the entire universe, causing the starry sky to explode and blood to splatter everywhere.

The ancient emperor of Tianque has fallen, and a terrifying roar has spread, like a death knell.

In another starry sky, a middle-aged man with a full head of red hair and wearing armor had a drastic change in expression, and a sense of fear involuntarily rose in his heart.

Dao Bo is far away from him, but they are generally in the same direction, not going in opposite directions. After the Heavenly Emperor finishes killing Tian Que, he will most likely choose him.

"It's over..."

At this moment, the red-haired middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart. Although they were separated by endless star fields, this distance was really not far for the ancient emperor.

Although he had tried his best to conceal his aura, the time was too short to do it perfectly; it could be discerned with just a slight perception.

If he is like this, then what about the Heavenly Emperor!
"They ran quite fast, but unfortunately, their luck was really bad." A clear voice rang out in the silent universe, very magnetic, but to the Supreme Being, it was no less than a death warrant.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor arrived, giving off a sense of déjà vu, like the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

The Supreme Being's body trembled slightly, and his boundless magical power seemed to have vanished. He felt his entire body stiffen.

He desperately tried to escape, even burning his life essence, but a cold laugh rang out behind him, growing louder as it approached.

"In your death throes, the moment I saw you, your life was no longer in your own hands."

In the starry sky ahead, a figure appeared silently, dressed in green robes, tall and slender, with a full head of black hair flowing down his back. His handsome appearance was like that of an immortal descending to earth, and every part of him exuded perfection.

The Supreme Being's expression changed drastically, his pupils trembled, and his heart turned to ashes. He did not choose to make a move.

This posture, which was almost like waiting to die, happened to the Supreme Being, which was unbelievable.

It should be noted that the ancient emperors who attained enlightenment in the world of Shrouding the Heavens were all masters of unwavering resolve, their belief in their own invincibility permeating their entire lives.

This passive acceptance of death is a sign of weakness and a sign of being inferior to others.

The Heavenly Emperor was too powerful, so powerful that the Supreme Being deeply understood that he had no hope of surviving.

"Boring." Li Yao scoffed, unleashing his Emperor Fist, a chaotic mass pressing forward.

The entire universe shone brightly; it was the unparalleled light of a fist. All living beings felt the intent of that fist and the invincible will of the Heavenly Emperor.

A blinding celestial light suddenly appeared, and people did not know the specifics, but a thought arose in their minds.

"Another supreme being has fallen!"

There wasn't much astonishment; they were already numb. Having witnessed so many supreme beings perish in such a short time, they had actually become accustomed to it.

This is astonishing. The great emperors of ancient times, who shook the past and illuminated the future, are recorded as invincible in every ancient history. Yet now, people are taking it for granted that someone is killing them.

It has to be said, this is a terrible habit.

"They moved quickly and hid everything well." In the desolate starry sky, Li Yaotian opened his eyes, scanning the vast universe, searching for the figure of the Supreme Being.

However, after the two Supreme Beings bought time, the rest of the Supreme Beings had already hidden themselves and concealed their tracks, so that even Li Yao could not find them for a while.

However, it doesn't matter. When the Supreme Beings joined forces to put pressure on Li Yao, they arrogantly revealed their true forms. Afterwards, by following the clues and deducing one by one, we can find their hiding place.

One should not be too arrogant. These supreme beings were courting death. If they had not revealed their true forms and had concealed their whereabouts with magic arrays, Li Yao would have really been unable to do anything to them and could only wait for them to expose themselves.

However, since Li Yaoteng isn't making a move, they are safe for now.

"Hey!"

Li Yao took a step, his body transformed into a divine rainbow, and disappeared into this star field.

……

"boom!"

On the battlefield of the Celestial Venerables, a melodious celestial sound resounded throughout the heavens, like a song or a lament. Gai Jiuyou's entire body radiated celestial light, his expression calm, neither sad nor happy, only his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared, resonating with the immortal music echoing within his body. His terrifying blood and qi surged, like a raging ocean tearing the sky apart!
Gai Jiuyou was unleashing his power, his full head of black hair flowing freely, his appearance as elegant as jade, possessing an unparalleled strength.

Born fearless, fight to the very end!

To dare to confront a true enlightened being with an unorthodox path to enlightenment is an immense act of courage.

Gai Jiuyou was incredibly brave, playing celestial music and battling the Supreme Being. His terrifying imperial laws astonished the world, shaking the Heavenly Venerable battlefield and shattering countless stars.

He had longed for this battle for a long time, wanting to fight the Emperor and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Gai Jiuyou, a prodigy, was destined to break through to the Great Emperor realm, but he was born at the wrong time. If the Azure Emperor were alive, he would definitely have challenged him back then and fought him head-on. Now, he does not back down and confronts the Supreme Being head-on to prove that he is no less than anyone else and make up for the regret of the past.

A divine rainbow pierced the universe, and Li Yao descended upon the battlefield of the Heavenly Venerables. The two who were fighting fiercely paused and stopped.

The Supreme Being was afraid, while Gai Jiuyou disdained to make a move at this time, as it would be an unfair victory.

"I hope the Heavenly Emperor will not intervene; I must fight him," Gai Jiuyou pleaded, hoping Li Yao would not kill the Supreme Being.

This is his battle. If he survives this battle, his state of mind and the Great Dao will be elevated, and he can once again attempt to break through the myriad paths and forcefully enter the Dao Realm.

Li Yao looked at Gai Jiuyou, whose body was covered in wounds. His left shoulder was pierced by a spear, his abdomen was punched through, and there was a finger mark on his chest...

An unconventional path to enlightenment may challenge the supreme being, but ultimately it is merely a challenge.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body possesses an incredibly powerful physique, with a health bar so long that even a Supreme Being would despair, capable of dragging down a Supreme Being to death.

However, ordinary alternative paths to enlightenment won't work. They don't possess the physique of a sacred body, and their ultimate fate will most likely be mutual destruction.

Of course, this is not absolute. Battles can change in an instant, and no one can predict the outcome until the very end.

Seeing the determination in Gai Jiuyou's eyes, Li Yao did not force a move, but still waved his hand and summoned an ancient imperial weapon.

"You're at a huge disadvantage because you don't have any weapons."

This imperial weapon is a spoil of war. The deity has been subdued by Li Yao, and others can also use it.

Gai Jiuyou did not refuse. His weapon had been destroyed in the cataclysmic lightning tribulation when he attacked the Azure Emperor's Great Dao years ago.

Even now, he is unarmed, which is a huge disadvantage when fighting a supreme being.

While cultivators in the game "Covering the Sky" explore the treasures within the human body and focus on their own cultivation, the presence or absence of weapons still significantly enhances their combat power.

The ancient imperial weapon that Li Yao gave him wasn't forged by Gai Jiuyou, so its bonus wasn't as great as the bonus given to the weapon owner by weapons that were cultivated with one's life force, but it was still much better than nothing.

"boom!"

The ancient imperial weapon is a divine tower, divided into nine levels, representing the ultimate number, infinitely large, and infinitely high.

Gai Jiuyou roughly refined it, then took the Emperor Tower and went over to fight the Supreme.

The Heavenly Venerable Battlefield was filled with the Emperor's might, its laws were astonishing, and giant stars exploded, like fireworks, forming a dazzling spectacle.

Li Yao left for another battlefield. He respected Gai Jiuyou's choice and had no intention of interfering.

On the edge of the universe, Chuan Ying coughed up blood and staggered backward, the stone staff in his hand cracked, and injuries covered his entire body.

His condition was poor, and his lifespan was already limited. His battle with the Supreme One was more of a restraint than a threat.

There was no time to spare. Although the Heavenly Emperor had given him a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Chuan Ying did not take it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.

"Hmph, in the end it's just an alternative path to enlightenment, not true enlightenment. If you know what's good for you, get out of here." The Supreme's voice was cold and somewhat anxious.

This was an old man with a full head of white hair, many wrinkles on his face, and icy cold eyes.

"Haha..." Hearing the Supreme's threat, Chuan Ying showed no fear, but instead laughed loudly: "You're scared? The Heavenly Emperor's side is finished, he can come at any time, you're finished."

As he spoke, Chuanying continued to laugh, while the old man's expression turned extremely gloomy.

Clearly, Chuan Ying had hit the nail on the head. Despite having the upper hand, he felt no joy whatsoever.

Since the start of the great battle, Chuan Ying has been constantly entangled with him, preventing him from leaving. He cannot be killed in a short time.

This feeling drove him crazy. He had once been invincible, but when had he ever felt so powerless?

“Old man, you have wreaked havoc on the universe. Today, you should be executed,” Chuan Ying said.

He was very weak, and his jet-black hair had turned white. This was due to the depletion of his vital energy, which further shortened his already limited lifespan.

With his injuries and covered in blood, he gave the impression that he might fall at any moment.

But Chuanying's eyes remained clear and bright, full of youthful vigor, just like a young boy's.

This is a paradoxical situation: a youthful face with white hair, like the setting sun, the sense of old age is impossible to hide, yet the eyes are as clear as a young boy's.

This is Chuanying, a childlike heart, who will remain steadfast in whatever he sets his mind to.

The destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court filled him with guilt, which turned into an obsession, and he spent his entire life looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

Now that his obsession has been eliminated, he wants to prove himself and confirm his words: "People like him were just born in the wrong era. If they were born at the right time, they would not be afraid to fight against the Heavenly Venerable."

There was also the possibility of becoming an immortal; the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor gave him hope.

If you have expectations in your heart, you will never grow old.

Looking into Chuanying's eyes, the old man felt a pang of envy. His eyes were sharp, but the signs of aging were obvious, the marks left by the years.

Unlike Chuan Ying, who, if not for his full head of white hair, was no different from a young man.

"I'm saying this one last time, get out of the way." The old man had a moment of realization, but quickly made up his mind; he had no way out.

"It would be such a pity for someone like you to perish. Although your lifespan is short, the Heavenly Emperor will certainly not sit idly by and watch you perish. You will definitely have a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill."

The old man offered his sincere advice.

These words were sincere and heartfelt, but Chuan Ying scoffed, "So what if you're afraid of death? You make it sound so noble."

"Heaven is truly unjust; someone like you can actually attain enlightenment."

Chuan Ying was very confident. He believed that if he were born in the same era as the old man, he could defeat him and attain enlightenment and become a supreme being.

"It seems you're determined to die," the old man said angrily.

He really didn't have time to waste; he had to kill Chuan Ying as soon as possible and then find a place to hide.

"boom!"

A terrifying aura of imperial power spread, cracking the edges of the universe and obliterating even the Great Dao.

Chuan Ying's expression was solemn, and he also tried his best to improve his combat power, squeezing out his source of energy and blood.

He now has new aspirations and doesn't want to fall into ruin like this.

If we just hold on a little longer, the Heavenly Emperor will arrive.

"boom!"

A great battle was about to break out. Chuan Ying, wielding a stone staff, fought a fierce battle with the old man. The imperial weapons clashed, sparks flew, and every strike was a fatal blow.

In just a short while, the two exchanged hundreds of blows. In the final clash, Chuan Ying was sent flying backward, coughing up blood continuously.

Seeing this, the old man pressed his advantage, unleashing his forbidden technique to kill Chuan Yingge right there.

He didn't take the opportunity to run away because he knew it was useless. Chuanying would catch up soon and relentlessly follow him. Only by killing him could he escape in peace.

"Eternal blue sky, endless years." The old man shouted, his voice seemingly coming from the distant primordial wilderness.

Boundless divine laws coalesced, and the light of this purpose burst forth, runes filled the sky, and its killing power was unparalleled, like an ancient universe, smashing fiercely towards Chuan Ying.

If this attack lands, Chuan Ying will have virtually no chance of turning the tide.
