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

Chapter 384 Dark Matter
Jinwu's face was icy cold. The only emperor of this era, Li Yao, was actually not afraid?
What makes him think he can challenge the Emperor and therefore be fearless?
Jinwu was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't act rashly now, otherwise the changing fundamental laws would definitely not be able to be hidden.

Although this matter cannot be hidden forever, it is not the time to do so.

The "Dao" that transcends this world is pure and pristine, possessing an unparalleled quality. If the supreme beings were to discover it, they would surely unite to seize it.

Therefore, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.

With a cold face, Jinwu entered the forbidden area and began to plunder. The Supreme Beings were very accommodating, and everything went very smoothly.

When Jinwu arrived at the Primordial Ancient Mine, he was turned away, just like Li Yao.

But this time, he unusually did not get angry. Instead, he calmly said, "Give me a Primordial Stone."

"Buzz!"

After a moment of stillness within the ancient mine, a dazzling silver light shot out, revealing a Primordial Life Stone the size of a washbasin.

Jinwu held it in his hand, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes; this was the most important thing about his trip.

As for the other treasures, they were just incidental; he would need them for his subsequent cultivation.

"Not enough!" he said coldly, continuing to demand more. A terrifying imperial aura emanated from him, giving the impression that if you don't give it to me, I'll just take it.

After what just happened, the Supreme Beings didn't think the Golden Crow had the guts. However, it was, after all, the current Great Emperor, and had also fused with the Heavenly Heart Mark, placing it at the pinnacle of its life.

Therefore, the ancient mine did not hesitate for long and generously threw out a silver life stone.

This time, after putting away the life stone, Jinwu left without hesitation, turning around and exiting the Big Dipper Star Region without looking for Li Yao!

A potential conflict was averted when Li Yao launched a strong counterattack, and the Golden Crow Emperor abandoned his plan.

What's going on?

Some believe that the Golden Crow Emperor is afraid and may be no match for Li Zhizun.

But this statement was quickly refuted. In many people's common sense, the emperor is invincible, so how could he be afraid of others?

However, Jinwu's actions just now are hard to explain, making people wonder if he might be hiding some secret.

In the Yao Guang Holy Land, Li Yao also began to ponder, sensing something strange about the Golden Crow.

What just happened shouldn't have happened. Even though the Golden Crow Emperor was suppressed by Ye Fan his whole life, that was after the two fought and the Golden Crow Emperor lost.

Before the fight, Jinwu was very arrogant and not afraid of Ye Fan at all. He just became more obedient later.

This time, however, Jinwu had no intention of engaging in combat at all.

"Why is that? Is it inconvenient to take action, or is it impossible?" Li Yao was very curious about this.

"Hey!"

He tore through the void, stepped inside, and chased after the direction the golden crow had gone.

Deep in the universe, the two faced each other again, gazing at each other across the Milky Way, their terrifying auras clashing.

"What exactly do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Jinwu suppressed his anger.

He had already been very tolerant of Li Yao today, but the other party still chased after him, which was going too far.

"You really can't make a move, why?" On the other side, Li Yao immediately confirmed his guess.

For some unknown reason, Jinwu healed his injuries but was unable to fight.
"No need for your concern, fellow Daoist. If you wish to wage war, I will accompany you to the very end in the desolate wilderness of the universe a hundred years from now." With these words, Jinwu turned to leave.

But Li Yao didn't understand why he would let the Golden Crow go. He flashed and appeared suddenly in front of the Golden Crow with a speed that even the Great Emperor found ghostly.

"Hmm!" This scene startled Jinwu, who was somewhat incredulous.

Their race is considered to be one of the fastest, but Li Yao's speed just now actually surpassed his current speed.

But how could this be! He was the only emperor of his time, and speed was one of his advantages. How could he be so easily surpassed?

Jinwu refused to believe in evil and left from another place, but as soon as he took flight, a figure blocked his way.

"Don't waste your time. In this field, even if the Celestial Venerable of Freedom came, he would at most be on par with me," Li Yao said arrogantly.

"What exactly do you want, fellow Daoist? Why do you insist on fighting me?" Jinwu was getting impatient.

Li Yao remained silent, only staring at the golden crow. Suddenly, as if he had seen something, he looked at the golden crow in disbelief and said, "You seem to have encountered something?"

Just now, he frantically activated the "Pre-Word Secret" technique to foresee fragments of the future, and finally, after hundreds and thousands of attempts, he captured a glimpse of it.

In that scene, the Golden Crow Emperor had changed; his aura and origin had also changed drastically. He no longer resembled him but instead exuded an evil aura.

That feeling was the absolute darkness!

Li Yao was certain that those were not the laws that should exist in the world of Shrouding the Heavens; rather, they resembled the alien dark creatures of the Chaotic Ancient Era!
This discovery greatly disturbed him, because Li Yao was familiar with the three parts of the novel "Covering the Sky" and knew that the origin of the alien realm was related to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If he continued to trace the source, the origin would be even greater, involving the most dangerous creatures in all the heavens and myriad realms.

However, since the Desolate Emperor ruled alone for eternity and the alien realm fell into decline, there shouldn't still be any dark matter existing in the heavens.

"brush!"

The Golden Crow did not answer. It immediately unleashed its extreme speed, no longer hiding, and transformed into a streak of black and red light to escape.

A dark atmosphere permeated the air, sending a chill down one's spine and giving rise to a bad premonition.

Li Yao was now completely convinced that Jinwu had indeed had a miraculous encounter and had come into contact with dark matter from some unknown place.

"Want to leave!" This discovery completely unsettled Li Yao, who wanted to find out everything.

"Hey!"

His form vanished, the secret of the Word of Movement unfolded, and the spacetime of the universe was shattered and became unstable, as if time itself had frozen.

Li Yao was not lying. Although he had not yet reached the Great Emperor realm, his speed was indeed comparable to that of the Carefree Celestial Venerable. He had already deduced the secret technique of the Word of Movement into the realm of immortality.

"boom!"

With the overwhelming power of the Supreme Emperor, Li Yao intercepted the Golden Crow, pushing across the heavens with a single palm strike, shattering the entire universe.

This is an unparalleled aura, terrifying to the extreme, capable of challenging even the flawless Great Emperor, its laws are frighteningly refined.

"Roar..." The golden crow roared, realizing that it could not avoid it, it could only strike back with its own palm, carrying the divine might of the vast heavens and myriad worlds, to meet the attack.

"boom!"

The overwhelming aftershocks spread, causing violent turmoil in the universe. Countless stars exploded instantly, igniting boundless flames that nearly shattered the entire star field.

Li Yao and Jinwu retreated simultaneously, but stopped in an instant and charged forward again. The Great Dao God continued to unleash his attacks, and the two engaged in fierce combat!
In the Big Dipper Starfield, the six forbidden zones that had just fallen silent were suddenly startled, and countless supreme divine thoughts awakened, gazing into the depths of the universe.

"What happened? Why are the two of them fighting?"

"That golden crow is strange. Its laws are so powerful, faintly surpassing this universe and not belonging to the myriad paths?"

"It's only been a few years, but that kid's combat strength has reached a new level. He's much stronger than he was a decade or so ago..."
