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

Chapter 32 Devastated
Han Lin's face darkened. The feeling of being humiliated like this was infuriating. He now understood the murderous intent his junior brother Yang had.

"Don't get angry. Just now, Junior Brother Yang was blinded by anger and lost his composure, which is why he was defeated by this kid in one move. I can't repeat the same mistake."

Yes, although Li Yao defeated Junior Brother Yang in one move, Han Lin did not believe that it was entirely due to Li Yao's superior combat strength.

He noticed that Junior Brother Yang was completely blinded by anger at that time, and his mind was not clear. He was confident that he could easily defeat Junior Brother Yang in that state.

Han Lin still questioned Li Yao's combat strength, because there was suspicion that he had used tricks.

He suppressed his anger and curled up the corners of his mouth, looking as if he had already seen through Li Yao's scheme.

"I won't get angry. In battle, anger will make me lose my mind. Don't even think about using that kind of trick on me."

Li Yao: ...

Although he didn't understand what the other person was saying, he didn't want to waste any more time.

boom!
With a stomp of his toe, the spot where Li Yao stood cracked, the dense cracks resembling those caused by a giant rock crashing down from the sky.

A sonic boom resounded, and a terrifying burst of energy tore through the air. Li Yao's body became a blur as he rapidly advanced forward.

Han Lin's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly formed hand seals. Blazing light burst forth from his body, forming a protective divine light around him.

"The Shield of the Sun".

"boom"

The hand, enveloped in holy light, slammed down on the shield, and with a crack, the shield immediately developed numerous cracks.

Han Lin was sent flying several meters away, and when he landed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This was only because of the protection of the Hao Ri Shield. If that palm strike had actually landed on him, his body would probably have been torn to pieces.

"How is this possible..." Han Lin was somewhat shocked. Although he was only at the Divine Bridge Realm, as a disciple of Dragon Head Peak, his combat strength was definitely not weaker than that of an ordinary Other Shore Realm cultivator.

His Holy Light Shield was definitely capable of blocking a full-force attack from someone at the Other Shore Realm, which was why he was confident he could defeat Li Yao.

But now, Li Yao has shattered his Holy Light Shield with just one bare hand.

At this moment, he understood perfectly well what nonsense about taking shortcuts meant. Junior Brother Yang was instantly killed because Li Yao was simply too strong.

"No wonder he's so confident; he really does have some skill." Li Yao was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Han Lin to actually block it.

"But that's all for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yao burst forward again. He raised one hand, and a blazing holy light surrounded his palm, as if it were cast from Geng metal. It was extremely divine and did not look like a fleshy palm at all. It shone brightly and dazzled people.

boom!
The Holy Light Shield shattered again, but this time, Han Lin's fate was not so good.

The first time, Li Yao was afraid of killing Han Lin directly, so he only used 60% of his strength. The second time, after knowing that Han Lin's defense was good, he used 80% of his strength.

So this time, the Holy Light Shield exploded, and the palm struck Han Lin's chest with unstoppable force.

First came a muffled thud, followed by a series of cracking sounds, like popping beans, popping and crackling incessantly.

Han Lin collapsed to the ground, most of his bones broken. Even a cultivator would be bedridden for at least a year.

At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded, witnessing an unbelievable scene.

The disciples of Dragon Head Peak could hardly believe what they were seeing. Han Lin had actually been defeated, and almost completely crushed at that. In the Divine Bridge Realm, there were very few people in the entire Yao Guang Sect whose combat strength could surpass Han Lin's, but even those few would need to fight a fierce battle to defeat him; it was impossible for it to be so easy.

If Li Yao can crush Han Lin, doesn't that mean that no one in the Divine Bridge Realm can rival him?

"But he has only just broken through to the Divine Bridge!" The disciples were all in awe.

A massive earthquake is about to strike the Holy Land of Yaoguang!
Once this news reaches the Holy Land, it will surely cause a sensation, and everyone will know that a true dragon has appeared in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Li Yao raised his head and looked in the direction of the Dragon Head Peak disciples. The Dragon Head Peak disciples, who had been so arrogant just now, quickly looked away after noticing his gaze. Some lowered their heads, while others looked around, all of them appearing extremely busy.

This is the benefit of strength. When you are strong enough, even if others hate you to the core, when they face you, their fear will outweigh their hatred.

Li Yao withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the disciples of Dragon Head Peak, and instead strolled over to Han Lin's side.

“I take back what I just said. When you tell your own children stories in the future, you can say that you had a fierce battle with me and ultimately lost by a narrow margin.”

"This is... a reward for you blocking two of my attacks, even though I didn't use my full strength in either of them."

Han Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood and completely lost consciousness.

It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!

The disciples looked at Han Lin with pity. After this ordeal, Han Lin was ruined. His Dao heart had been corrupted by demons. If he could not break through them and rebuild himself, he would sink into depravity.

However, no one stood up to uphold justice; this is the world of cultivators, where everything is decided by strength.

No one cares what happens to Han Lin in the future; all they know is that Li Yao won this battle brilliantly, rising to power over the corpses of his opponents and forging his own invincible legend.

Li Yao withdrew his gaze from Han Lin and looked in the direction of the Dragon Head Peak disciples, asking in a calm tone, "Who else wants to go up?"

No one responded. The disciples of Dragon Head Peak dared not look at Li Yao, fearing that even the slightest movement of their eyelids would be interpreted by Li Yao as a provocation.

"Heh." Li Yao shook his head in disbelief and turned to leave.

Although this time it didn't conform to his principle of keeping a low profile, he naturally wouldn't remain indifferent when others came knocking on his door.

As for whether this would attract the attention of the Supreme Saint lineage, Li Yao had actually thought about this question, but if he didn't take action, would they not pay attention to him?

When they first joined the Holy Land, the two major factions fought for their allegiance, a fact that was certainly no secret within the Yao Guang Holy Land.

The fact that Rising Sun Island was so tense about his disappearance, as if a major artery had been severed, all revealed one thing: his talent was extraordinary, and the Rising Sun Island lineage valued him highly.

With these things going on, it's impossible for the Holy Lineage not to pay attention to themselves.

As for the claim that he is just a mortal with a special physique that others desire, does the Supreme Saint lineage believe that he is just a mortal?

Look at his cultivation speed, he doesn't seem like an ordinary mortal at all.

Don't think that the lineage of the Supreme Saints doesn't believe it; even the Sunrise Island is probably wondering what kind of special physique he has. It's just that this kind of physique has never appeared before, so it is considered to be a mortal body.

"Alas, I am truly just a mortal. My cultivation progresses so quickly, simply because I experienced a minor breakthrough."

Li Yao sighed inwardly, "It's all the fault of the Heavenly Book, which has caused such a huge misunderstanding."
