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

Chapter 375 Supreme
On the edge of the universe, lightning crackled and crisscrossed, covering the endless sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.

At the top of the sea of ​​lightning, palaces entirely composed of lightning bolts stretch out, with carved dragons and painted beams, every brick and tile exuding realism, evoking a sense of desolation and antiquity.

This is a scene of destruction; anyone who sees it would be terrified.

But now, destruction is no more; instead, the sacred power of the moon, frozen for eternity, has arrived.

The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky!
This is a magical technique originating from the laurel tree, executed with the purest and most pristine Yin energy, capable of freezing everything in the world.

Those thirty extremely powerful humanoid lightning bolts were frozen at this moment, as the terrifying Yin Holy Power was eroding their Great Dao Laws.

Li Yao was enveloped in black immortal power, as black as ink, and exuded an aura of imperial power. He formed the Taiyin Sacred Seal with his hands, reaching the peak of his state.

The combat power he displayed at this moment was terrifying, surpassing that of those about to attain enlightenment and completely stepping into another realm.

Supreme!

Standing tall above the eternal blue sky, overlooking all the myriad paths of heaven and earth, invincible in the nine heavens and ten earths, reigning supreme through the ages.

Throughout countless millennia, only a handful of people have been able to reach this level!
In the vast universe and the boundless starry sky, on countless ancient planets inhabited by life, many powerful beings who dominated their respective regions felt a sense of connection at this moment and gazed at the boundless starry sky.

"The imperial aura is overwhelming! Someone has attained enlightenment!"

The universe was in an uproar. Many powerful beings rushed out of the outer realms and into the universe, gazing towards the source of the oppressive aura.

"Is the second Great Emperor of the Post-Ancient Era about to appear, following the Azure Emperor?"

Countless powerful individuals had this thought: it's unreal. The Golden Age has only just begun, and under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any Dao-proving individuals appearing at this time!
But that imperial aura was very real; only a Great Emperor possessed that kind of divine power, not even a person about to attain enlightenment.

Just as people were wondering, the imperial aura disappeared; it came quickly and went quickly.

Deep in the universe, a fiery red star exploded, unleashing a raging inferno that burned intensely.

This place is the secluded retreat of the Lord of the Divine Court, and no one dares to approach it under normal circumstances, but now it has been blown up.

The stars cracked and shattered into many pieces.

A middle-aged man, his body fiery red and wreathed in divine flames, emerged from it. His terrifying aura surged and churned in the universe, causing the starry sea to boil.

The Emperor has emerged from seclusion, and the sudden oppressive aura of imperial power has left him unable to remain calm.

"Crack!"

Within the divine court, a soft sound emanated from a palace, startling the palace's guardian.

He walked into the main hall, and then his expression suddenly changed. He saw that the statue of the emperor at the end of the palace had shattered.

"The Emperor has emerged from seclusion!"

The enshrined statue of the Emperor was the medium of communication between the Divine Court and the Emperor. A wisp of the Emperor's divine will resided within the statue. Its collapse signifies that the Emperor has emerged from seclusion and no longer needs the statue.

"Father……"

At the edge of the shattered star, the void was torn apart, and ten figures emerged from it, each with an incomparably powerful aura. They were either the Emperor's biological offspring or his adopted sons!

"Father, what happened just now?" Among the ten people, a woman dressed in black feather robes with an exceptionally beautiful appearance stepped forward, her red lips slightly parted, and asked the Emperor about the unusual situation just now.

The same was true for the other nine sons; the sudden imperial pressure left them all bewildered as to what had happened.

In this world, is there anyone closer to the Emperor than my father?
"It's not a path to enlightenment, but merely a tribulation at the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor realm," the Emperor said calmly, though his eyes flashed with surprise, disbelief, and urgency.

He wasn't as calm as he appeared. Although the person undergoing tribulation was attempting to reach the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, the Emperor's aura was genuine, proving that the opponent could unleash supreme-level combat power!
The emperor found it hard to believe that this was true, but the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

However, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and being the first to act is not necessarily a good thing. If the Supreme One takes action and acts as the one who suffers the calamity, that person may not be able to successfully overcome the great calamity!

But this also gave the Emperor a sense of urgency. He was about to become a Daoist, only one step away from proving the Dao, and was the person in the world who was closest to the realm of a Great Emperor.

But the outcome is still uncertain; he could be a dark horse for life!

With such a young man emerging today, will another old monster appear in the future?

"No, I must achieve perfection as soon as possible and attain the Dao and become a supreme being!" the Emperor thought anxiously.

The Emperor was not the only one with this idea; the Golden Crow, far beyond the endless star field, also shared it.

"We need to speed things up; we can't wait for the right opportunity any longer, or there will be too many variables."

……

In the desolate wilderness of the universe, Li Yao's sudden display of power stunned several supreme beings.

But the next moment, they realized that they had been tricked.

This young man had been concealing his strength from beginning to end. His earlier appearance of near collapse was all a ruse to keep them calm. Now, with the great calamity nearing its end, he revealed his true power, unleashing a heaven-defying technique that shattered even the lightning tribulation.

Gazing at the young man under the starry sky, who was absorbing the essence of all directions and unleashing his unparalleled imperial might, the eyes of the supreme beings twitched wildly.

The Stone Emperor's face was extremely gloomy. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm that could cover the heavens and the earth.

The imperial laws were astonishing, and the dazzling immortal light illuminated the edge of the universe in an instant, allowing countless cultivators who were gazing at this place to see it.

Then, everyone was horrified, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word.

What a being he was! His body was so tall that it almost filled the sky. Even from an immeasurable distance, one could still see his form. The sky could not match his height!

Is this the final battle about to begin?!
With the emergence of an ancient supreme being, is darkness and turmoil about to descend?
The thought of this possibility filled people with unease; no one could remain calm, and those with higher levels of cultivation were especially terrified.

The Emperor and the Golden Crow watched intently, wanting to know if Li Yao could withstand them, as this was of utmost importance to them.

At their level, they could naturally see that the Supreme Being had not actually been born, but was merely an avatar, whose combat power was far inferior to that of the original.

Even so, their strength should be above that of those who are about to attain enlightenment. If Li Yao can defeat them, then they will be an unimaginable formidable enemy.

Jinwu, in particular, had already decided that if Li Yao's combat strength was truly comparable to that of a Supreme Being, he would disregard everything and strive to reach the Emperor Realm in the shortest possible time to ensure that the Emperor's throne in this world belonged to him.

On the edge of the universe, Li Yao remained calm. Facing the Stone Emperor's palm strike, he neither dodged nor blocked, but instead struck out with his own palm.

The tribulation had ended, and he had transcended four realms in succession, standing at the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, permanently residing in the Divine Forbidden Realm, achieving an unprecedented mythical feat, and his combat power soared to an unimaginable level.

"Oh!"

A deafening roar resounded, silencing the heavens and earth. Then, the endless void collapsed, and countless deep cracks spread out, their depths unfathomable, with chaotic energy surging forth.

The deafening roar felt as if someone had struck their heads with a hammer, and countless lives instantly collapsed to the ground.

The universe was overturned, and countless beams of celestial light exploded, accompanied by transparent fragments. Time and space intertwined on them, shooting out to all corners of the universe.

At this moment, people could see clearly that several terrifying figures stood between heaven and earth, their bodies majestic, and every line of their bodies was the pattern of the Great Dao, mysterious and unfathomable.

The one who made the move was a supreme being clad in black divine armor.

"It's actually that Stone Emperor who attained enlightenment with the body of a Great Perfection Holy Spirit!"

Soon, someone discovered the Stone Emperor's identity: an ancient relic sealed away for countless years.

The universe trembled, and divine thoughts were extremely active; all of this was unbelievable.

The idea of ​​a supreme being who has attained enlightenment through countless ages remaining eternally immortal inspires awe and fear.

Everyone knows that the Holy Spirit lineage is inherently detached in nature, and this is even more true after he becomes the Supreme Being. If he were to incite turmoil, he would absolutely not show any mercy.

Even the Holy Spirit Clan did not show any joy. Although they were all beings born of the heavens, even they were not sure if the Stone Emperor would let them go if he caused trouble.

"Who is the other person?" someone whispered, looking at the young man in the fragments, who seemed completely unfamiliar.

It's not a familiar face, nor is it something from the past!

In the scene presented by the fragment of time and space, he struck out with a palm, slow yet powerful, with the laws of the imperial way swirling between his fingers, and destructive lightning transforming into a true dragon. His large hand covered the sky, and he even had a slight advantage in the attack with the Stone Emperor.

"It's him? How could he have grown so fast?" At the headquarters of the God Organization, the white-haired Quasi-Emperor was incredulous.

In just a few years, he has jumped from a Great Sage to the Supreme level.

Even the Emperor, the creator of the ancient Heavenly Court, was probably no more than this.

"How is this possible!" Countless people were shocked.

That young man was not an emperor. Although he possessed the aura of an emperor, it was not pure. Clearly, he was still some distance from being a true supreme powerhouse.

The scene depicted was indeed real; the young man forced the Stone Emperor back with a single palm strike, and then turned around and punched another supreme being, sending him flying back several steps, demonstrating his absolute invincibility.

No one was unmoved, especially when they learned that the young man was a contemporary figure and no more than a hundred years old; their common sense was shattered.

On the ancient road of humanity, Ye Fan stood in the starry sky fifty levels away, used the Origin Heaven Divine Art to capture a fragment of spacetime, and stared at the scene inside, completely stunned.

The joy of having just defeated his nemesis, the Overlord, and broken through to the Saint King realm has vanished.

If this were a game, he would report it like crazy; the cheating is too obvious and it affects the player experience.

But this is reality, not a game; there are no cheat codes.

"Brother Li's talent may surpass that of all the great emperors in ancient history!" In the end, that was all he could say.
