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

Chapter 30 Crush
……

The disciples of Dragon Head Peak are challenging me to a duel, and I'm the one they're targeting?!

Li Yao was a little confused. How come he didn't know that someone else wanted to challenge him?

Although he didn't know what was going on, since it involved him, Li Yao naturally had to find out.

He stood up and walked out of the meditation chamber. His whole being did not have strong energy fluctuations, nor was he particularly ethereal or otherworldly. He had lost some of his extraordinary qualities but gained a sense of simplicity and authenticity.

His powerful divine sense spread out, and as he got closer, he captured more and more information. The whole picture of the matter also went through Li Yao's mind.

"Sure enough, fame brings trouble, no matter where you are."

However, Li Yao didn't think much of these things. If he were Gou Daoliu, he might have found it to be a very troublesome matter.

But he is not like Gou Daoliu. In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, if you don't have an invincible belief and a heart that firmly believes in your invincibility, you won't go far at all.

Although Li Yao keeps a low profile, he doesn't tolerate things like those old demons who cultivate immortality.

Perhaps it was because of the secret realm technique that allowed him to tap into his own divine treasures, but he also longed for battle, hoping to defeat one powerful enemy after another in order to forge his invincible spirit.

Invincibility is not something you can just talk about; it's something you earn through fighting.

Anyone can talk big, but invincibility based solely on talk is illusory. He needs to actually defeat his enemies to firmly convince himself that he is truly invincible.

Did Ye Fan firmly believe he was invincible from the very beginning?

No, he was hunted down so badly in the early stages that he had to hide his identity, change his appearance, and even rely on his cunning to trick his enemies at the beginning.

He developed his invincible belief by defeating tough enemies time and time again.

……

"Li Yao is here!" someone exclaimed.

Many disciples, though they had never met Li Yao, actually knew what he looked like.

The disappearance of Li Yao some time ago may not have caused much of a stir outside, but within the Yao Guang Holy Land, many people still know about it, and many disciples have been sent out to search for Li Yao.

Since they were sent out, they definitely needed to know what Li Yao looked like.

Li Yao walked into the center of the arena and looked calmly at the disciples of Dragon Head Peak.

"Someone is challenging me, how come I, the person directly involved, didn't know?"

"He himself has appeared. This is going to be interesting." The disciples' eyes lit up with intense interest.

Those who cultivate secret realm techniques inherently crave combat, so battle scenes are something everyone wants to see.

Moreover, this is a battle with a lot of hype.

Li Yao's talent was very strong, which everyone knew. After only half a year of cultivation, his cultivation level soared to the Divine Bridge Realm.

However, he had too little time to cultivate and had never shown his strength in public, so his disciples were all very curious about his abilities.

"Hahaha!" At this moment, the disciples of Dragon Head Peak burst into laughter. A disciple at the Divine Bridge Realm stepped forward, looking at Li Yao with a mocking gaze.

"I didn't expect you to have any backbone, that you actually dared to come out."

Li Yao glanced at the disciple and saw that his aura was powerful, indicating that his cultivation was at least at the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm, not far from the Other Shore Realm. However, he showed no fear whatsoever, and instead calmly replied, "Why wouldn't I dare to come out? Do you think I would be afraid of you?"

He shook his head and said, "Don't be ridiculous. You're just a nobody. Although you're always jumping around, I've never taken you seriously. It's like I casually stepped on an ant and never paid any attention to it."

Li Yao strolled slowly, saying casually, "Although we are at the same level now, we both know that in a while, you won't even be able to see my back."

These words are hurtful, but sometimes what's most frustrating is the truth, which leaves you with no way to refute it.

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

The disciple of Dragon Head Peak clenched his fists, a feeling of pent-up resentment filling his heart. He wanted to kill this arrogant madman.

They were the ones who were trying to provoke Li Yao into battle, then defeat him and break his Dao heart, but in reality, it was he who broke through his defenses!

"Yes, that's right. Since you've challenged me, you should bring me some fun. If anger can make you stronger, then you can rage indiscriminately without any repercussions. I won't blame you."

Cherish this opportunity; it's your only chance in this lifetime.

The disciples felt a chill run down their spines. They didn't know much about this person yet, but he was certainly arrogant.

Those who can enter the Yao Guang Holy Land are all geniuses, big and small, and have never been ridiculed like this before.

"You're courting death!" Sure enough, the Dragon Head Peak disciple was enraged. His eyes turned blood red, his aura surged, and powerful energy fluctuations emanated from his body. He quickly pressed forward, summoning his weapon to kill Li Yao.

Chi!
A dazzling longsword appeared; it was a blood-red demonic blade, its entire body dripping with crimson. It cleaved through the sky, unleashing endless blood-red light, like a surging river of blood, as it slashed towards Li Yao.

The longsword moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Li Yao, about to cleave him in two from head to toe.

"Even if I give it my all, is this all the power I have? I'm truly disappointed." Just then, Li Yao's divine power surged, and his blazing divine fire burned fiercely. He was as radiant as a sun, accompanied by thunderous roars and the sound of tsunamis.

Li Yao was like a god draped in divine armor, his black hair flying wildly, surrounded by lightning, and enveloped in endless divine radiance.

"boom"

Li Yao's body vibrated with a powerful energy wave. He did not use any weapons and charged towards the disciples of Dragon Head Peak with his bare hands. This terrifying momentum immediately shocked everyone.

It might not have been apparent before he made his move, but now that his aura was spreading, all the disciples sensed Li Yao's power.

This is a cultivator who just broke through to the Divine Bridge. Even if you said he was a cultivator at the Other Shore Realm, no one would disagree.

Li Yao's entire body was crystal clear and sparkling, radiating a precious glow. His flesh and blood seemed to be cast from divine iron. His speed was unbelievable. With a "clang," he actually caught the blood-red demonic blade with one hand and held it firmly in his hand. Then, he exerted force with both hands at the same time.

"when"

Blood-red light shone in the sky as he snapped the weapon summoned by the Divine Bridge cultivator. His body was enveloped in holy light as he charged forward in an instant, unleashing a punch that sent waves of divine light surging through the sky.

"boom"

His speed was incredible, and his physical strength was unbelievable. His dazzling fist slammed into the body of the Dragon Head Peak disciple.

boom!
The disciple from Dragon Head Peak was sent flying backward, crashing onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Li Yao's powerful divine body shone brightly, and his terrifying holy fist was unstoppable. He possessed unparalleled speed and power.

Many of the disciples were caught off guard; if it weren't for the blood splattering in the air, many would have thought it was an illusion.
