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

Chapter 392 Confrontation
"kill!"

A deafening battle cry rang out, filled with murderous intent. The fall of a Saint-level expert seemed commonplace here.

In the two places, the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Other Shore of Gods, a fierce battle raged almost daily, with terrifying ripples of law impacting the heavens and earth.

The four imperial swords and the array diagram, distributed in two locations, were originally incomplete, but unexpectedly, they all possessed unimaginable divine power. In the Sea of ​​Bitterness, there was a phantom array diagram that could command the four imperial swords, forming a weakened version of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array. And at the array diagram, there were phantom images of the four imperial swords, which could also form a weakened version of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array.

After experiencing the mythological era, the ancient era, and the primitive era, Lingbao Tianzun's powerful reputation once again resounds throughout the ages in this world.

The two weakened versions of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation were both incredibly powerful. Even a Great Sage wielding an Emperor Weapon could not break them; only by deploying multiple Emperor Weapons could they be broken.

"boom!"

The sea of ​​suffering churned, its black waters surging to the heavens, unleashing endless storms of laws.

Ye Fan, Ji Zi, and the Holy Prince, three prodigies of imperial talent, stood side by side, advancing and retreating together, becoming a major force on the field. They were adept at maneuvering and rarely encountered any opponents, showing a strong tendency to acquire all four imperial swords.

"Aren't you being too greedy? It's one thing to possess one imperial sword, but you want to take all four of them for yourselves!" A Great Saint from the Divine Court said with a grim expression.

“That’s right. Don’t think that just because you have an ultimate imperial weapon, you can roam the universe freely.” One of the commanders of Phoenix Nest also said.

“Young friends, attempting to seize four imperial swords at the same time is indeed going a bit too far,” said the Great Sage of Dao Palace.

The three top powers of the universe have all sent high-level Great Saints to the Mythical Ancient Road to compete for opportunities.

Logically speaking, such a lineup is not weak even when viewed from the perspective of the entire universe.

But then they encountered trouble.

Because on the other side, there were three weapons of the Emperor level: the broken Immortal Cauldron, the Immortal Iron Rod, and the Void Mirror. All of them exuded terrifying divine power. Even a wisp of their power was enough to cover the sky and dry up the sea!
Three ultimate weapons—this is simply beyond human capability to withstand. Unless a quasi-emperor-level expert arrives, who can stop it?

Moreover, those who wield these weapons are no ordinary people; they are all renowned geniuses throughout the universe, and if nothing unexpected happens in the future, they will at least become quasi-emperors.

Among them, Ye Fan, the Holy Body, has even been designated as a fighter capable of challenging the Great Emperor!

Such a prodigy, wielding an imperial weapon, possesses formidable combat power. Even a Great Sage without the aid of an imperial weapon would be no match for him.

But what truly makes these three Great Sages so remarkable is not their strength, but the enormous entity standing behind them.

The three major powers, Divine Court, Dao Palace, and Phoenix Nest, are said to each have a Dao-attaining level being in charge, which is what truly makes the universe tremble.

It can be said that apart from the Golden Crow Clan and the truly first holy land Yao Guang, there is no other force that can rival the three major forces.

Many cultivators stood at a distance, unable to intervene in the battlefield, but also eagerly awaited changes in the situation.

A dazzling green light filled the sky, and the broken green cauldron floated and sank, flowing with the divine laws of the Great Dao. Ye Fan's eyes flashed like lightning as he surveyed the entire scene with neither arrogance nor servility, and said calmly, "The treasure is right here. Whoever is stronger can possess the Emperor Sword. What's there to argue about? If you're not convinced, you're welcome to come and snatch it."

"That's right, it all comes down to strength. If you have the ability, then come and fight!" The Holy Prince held a celestial iron staff, its black body radiating brilliant celestial light and exuding countless rays of light, with the laws of the imperial way permeating the air!
"Buzz!"

Himeko remained silent, but the ancient mirror in her hand flowed with chaotic energy, like a waterfall cascading down. With a slight tremor, a large amount of seawater was evaporated.

With three ultimate weapons here, who can withstand such combat power? Not even the Great Sage.

"But wouldn't such actions bring trouble? These are forces that have enlightened beings stationed there, wouldn't they?"

"With divine artifacts by our side, we rely entirely on our own abilities. Even if the three major hegemonic forces were to offend us, they would not let us go."

The onlookers spoke up, all filled with envy. The four spiritual treasure swords each possessed boundless divine power; who wouldn't want to obtain one? However, the difference in strength was too great, and there was nothing they could do even if they were unwilling.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Divine Court for doing this?" The Great Sage of the Divine Court asked coldly.

He was indeed no match for an Emperor-level weapon, but the Divine Court was filled with experts; possessing an Emperor-level weapon alone was not enough to confront the Divine Court head-on. Nearby, the Dao Palace and Phoenix Nest shared a similar sentiment. The Supreme Emperor-level weapon instilled fear in them, but it wasn't enough to instill apprehension in the forces behind them.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, staring at each other, but after only a moment, Ye Fan looked at the Holy Prince and said, "Brother Monkey, keep an eye on them."

Then, he looked at Ji Zi and said, "Brother Dao, let's tear open the sword formation and take the Emperor Sword. We don't want to waste time arguing with them."

“It should have been done long ago!” Himeko did not object; instead, she nodded in agreement.

"boom!"

Heaven and earth shook, the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Bitterness churned, the Immortal Cauldron burst forth with green light, and the Void Mirror released endless chaotic energy, actually colliding with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"Are you really going to push things to the extreme?"

"Young people are arrogant and ignorant; they will have to pay for what they do today in the future."

The Great Saints of the Divine Court and Phoenix Nest were unable to remain calm, their faces ashen. However, they could not move, as an imperial divine might locked them in place. If they dared to move, the Holy Prince would surely strike them down with his staff.

Although everyone in the arena was a master, no one wanted to try out the weapon left behind by the Fighting Saint Emperor.

"Hmph!" The Holy Prince stood on his staff, his whole body shimmering with golden fur, and the immortal iron staff in his hand emitted a dazzling immortal light, his battle aura boiling.

At this moment, he stood alone at the pass, wielding an iron rod, ready to challenge the world, and no one dared to confront him!

On the other side, Ye Fan and Ji Zi, wielding the Green Cauldron and the Void Mirror, also made rapid progress, quickly breaking through a formation.

And ahead lies the Emperor's Sword, which everyone yearns for but cannot attain.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the supreme divine power descended, the sea of ​​suffering surged back, and the stars floating on the surface of the sea trembled.

This is a new supreme divine might; someone has once again entered the battle wielding an imperial weapon. The terrifying imperial might even suffocates the Great Sage.

It was a pot made of lapis lazuli, very ancient and simple, with a four-faced giant carved on it. The terrifying imperial aura came from it.

The Refining God Pot drooped down, rapidly approaching revival. Dao patterns appeared at the mouth of the pot, unleashing an unimaginable suction force, attempting to draw the Emperor Sword below into the pot.

A terrifying aura spread, sending chills down everyone's spines and filling them with dread.

Many people recognized the fallen imperial weapon as the Refining God Pot, a weapon left behind by the ancestor of the Light Clan!

No one expected that just as Ye Fan was about to succeed, someone would secretly attack and try to seize the Emperor Sword!

Moreover, the opponent's timing was superb. At this moment, Ye Fan's vigilance was lowered, and the chances of success were very high.

"boom!"

The Refining God Pot unleashed its divine power, its mouth swallowing the heavens and earth, encompassing the world below.

People had a premonition that the Emperor's Sword, like a rootless duckweed, would be absorbed by the Divine Refining Pot.

But at that moment, a monstrous sword aura erupted, the great star in the sky shattered, and four imperial swords in the vast ocean were resurrected at the same time, unleashing a sword aura that shook the ages and whose unparalleled killing intent made people tremble!
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has been unleashed!
