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

Chapter 387 The End
The borderlands trembled, and the supreme divine power spread out. The Golden Crow, unwilling to be slaughtered, tried to escape with its primordial spirit.

"Hey!"

An unparalleled sword aura swept across, and a black sword embryo, revealing only a wisp of its sharpness, made the Golden Crow's primordial spirit seem to be torn apart.

Dark and dull, simple to the extreme, yet its terrifying killing power sends chills down one's spine.

For example, the powerful figures watching the borderlands at this moment, whether they were emperors, old gods, or ancient supreme beings, all couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

"Another extremely powerful technique, specifically designed to kill the primordial spirit's sword embryo!" a supreme being exclaimed solemnly.

Since the start of the great battle, Li Yao has used too many secret techniques: eight of the nine secret techniques, the Taiyin and Taiyang Emperor Fist, various forbidden domain divine techniques exclusive to the Great Emperors, as well as a fist technique that dominates the world and a sonic killing technique that can shatter all the heavens and myriad realms!
Now, another sword embryo has arrived, specifically designed to slay the primordial spirit. Its mastery of the primordial spirit is no weaker than the previous Word Secret!

With so many divine arts, even if an ordinary person were to obtain them by extraordinary luck, they could at most specialize in only a few of them and could not possibly master them all.

Even the ancient supreme beings had to admit this: they could study other people's methods to a very deep level, but they could never reach the realm of perfection and catch up with the creators.

But Li Yao is different. Every Dao technique he uses is at its peak, and some of them are even innovative and reach new heights.

This is also the main reason for his powerful combat strength. In addition, his incomplete Chaos Body allowed him to fight against the Great Emperor when he was only at the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor.

The six forbidden zones fell silent, and the supreme beings concealed their powerful auras.

Li Yao is eccentric, harbors a great secret, and may even be related to immortals?

But so what? He has already truly established himself in the realm of the Great Emperors, and he is not afraid even when the Supremes are at their peak, let alone now.

While the ancient rulers were indeed arrogant, they did not knowingly do the impossible.

If I can't afford to offend them, I can at least avoid them. This kind of thing can also happen to a supreme being.

At the edge of the universe, Li Yao suppressed the Golden Crow with a single hand, rendering it powerless to resist. At the same time, he also sealed the Golden Crow's Great Dao with the divine laws of the Great Dao.

The emperor of the time was thus suppressed without any power to resist.

"Ah..." The Golden Crow roared, its unparalleled magical power surging as it struggled desperately, causing the desolate edge of the universe to continuously crumble, unable to withstand the imperial might.

But all of this was in vain. The Golden Crow had lost the initiative, was severely injured, had most of its cultivation sealed, and was powerless to do anything.

"Quiet down, don't resist." Li Yao said impatiently, slapping the Golden Crow's head with his palm.

"Crack!"

The sound of a skull shattering rang out, countless cracks appeared, and golden imperial blood splattered everywhere!

The once extraordinary middle-aged man was now covered in blood, his brilliant golden hair disheveled, making him look extremely ferocious.

Jinwu was somewhat bewildered. The palm strike wasn't heavy and didn't injure his celestial platform, but the force contained a killing power targeting his primordial spirit, making him dizzy.

Suddenly, the bewildered Golden Crow's expression changed drastically. A supreme divine consciousness, like a floodgate opened, invaded his sea of ​​consciousness with unstoppable force, browsing through his memories.

"What are you trying to do..." Jinwu roared, his primordial spirit burning as he tried to stop Li Yao's actions.

But that divine consciousness was too vast, even stronger than his own as a great emperor. If he were at his peak, he could effectively resist it, but now he could only helplessly watch as the other party wreaked havoc in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Unparalleled humiliation overwhelmed Jinwu's heart; the enemy's actions were even more suffocating than killing him.

After a moment, Li Yao opened his eyes and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, relieving the fatigue brought on by his primordial spirit.

Invading the consciousness of a reigning emperor—this is something that perhaps only he has ever done throughout history; the difficulty is simply too great. A slight misstep could result in a scenario where one injures the enemy a thousand while suffering eight hundred casualties oneself.

Fortunately, Jinwu never had the belief to gamble everything. After realizing that he could not stop Li Yao, he actually let him do as he pleased.

This greatly reduced Li Yao's pressure and made things go much more smoothly.

Having obtained what he wanted, Li Yao released the Golden Crow and lifted its restraints, setting it free.

“You…” Jinwu was stunned, somewhat unable to understand.

What does Li Yao mean by this? Why not take this opportunity to kill him and eliminate any future trouble?

He was puzzled, because if it were him, he would never hesitate to kill a great enemy if given the chance.

"What, do you really want to die?" Li Yao said coldly.

In fact, Jinwu was just a minor character in his eyes and was not taken seriously at all, even though the other party was a great emperor of the world!
If it weren't for the matter of darkness, Li Yao wouldn't even have been interested in taking action against the Golden Crow.

Therefore, after learning that the Golden Crow had come into contact with the essence and blood of a foreign quasi-king who had left behind countless eras, his concerns were dispelled, and the Golden Crow's life and death once again became insignificant.

Indeed, a near-immortal king, a giant in the realm of immortality, could easily annihilate hordes of emperors with a mere wave of his hand.

Even the most powerful figures will have their strength greatly diminished once they fall. That quasi-king had already fallen long before the Immortal Ancient Era, losing too much of his essence, blood, and divinity. He was not a particularly heaven-defying figure.

At least, with just this drop of essence blood, Jinwu could never be on equal footing with him.

Just like the Thunder Emperor's armor, after being damaged in battle, it lost too much of its power, falling directly from a Celestial King's artifact to the realm of humanity.

This can be seen from the state of the Golden Crow. Although its origin was polluted, its mind was not affected and it still maintained its self.

For Jinwu, the essence of the Quasi-King's blood was more about gaining some immortal inheritance.

This is also the main reason why Li Yao did not kill the Golden Crow; otherwise, a great emperor who had just attained enlightenment would have appeared in ancient history.

Jinwu's expression was complicated; he hadn't expected Li Yao to be so magnanimous.

He is the current emperor, a lifelong enemy to everyone, and would never be spared if he could be killed.

"Only someone with such a mindset is worthy of that invincible strength!" Jinwu felt a little impressed.

Strength cannot earn absolute respect, but a person's character can, regardless of strength.

Li Yao was unaware of Jinwu's inner thoughts, assuming that he spared Jinwu's life because of Jinwu's magnanimity. Little did he know, Jinwu simply didn't care and didn't take him seriously at all.

As time goes by, the gap between them will only widen.

Those who are defeated by me are never considered my opponents. I give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me.

This statement would be perfectly exemplified when applied to Li Yao.

The cosmic frontier was shattered, the great war between emperors obliterated the Great Dao, and terrifying ripples of law permeated every corner, but as the war ended, everything slowly began to recover.

Looking at the stunned Jinwu, Li Yao wondered if the man had gone mad from the beating. Why wasn't he leaving now? Wasn't he afraid Jinwu might suddenly change his mind?
