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

Chapter 395 Sword Formation Unification
Above the abyss, Li Yao's gaze was deep. Through layers of void, he activated the weapon control technique in the Spirit Treasure Scripture, forcibly driving the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram.

With his current cultivation level and the Saintly Art of Controlling Soldiers, the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram is completely unable to resist and can only be controlled by him.

Li Yao was almost at will, manipulating the array to cleave through the void, stirring up layers of chaotic ripples, and descending upon the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"what happened?"

"The array diagram, the real array diagram has arrived!"

"My God, is the array diagram sensing that the killing sword is being attacked and trying to merge with it?"

Chaos gripped the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Bitterness, chilling the hearts of all cultivators who gazed at the heavens in disbelief.

There, chaos exploded, and an ancient map floated, its imposing aura seemingly capable of shattering all the heavens and myriad worlds. Chaotic mist rose, terrifying beyond measure.

Before the array diagram arrived, everyone was working together to break the array. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array of the Four Killing Swords was clearly no match for the Refining God Pot, the Void Mirror, the Immortal Iron Rod, and the Immortal Cauldron. It was about to be broken.

But who would have thought that the array diagram would suddenly appear at this moment!

"what is that?"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, their eyes burning as they gazed at the ancient painting.

"Such a rich vitality..."

"The Ancient Tree of Life, that's the legendary elixir of immortality!"

Everyone was astonished. The ancient tree of life, which had been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years, had actually reappeared today, and it was even together with the array diagram.

This scene left people stunned, unsure how to react.

"Hurry up and act! We can't let the Four Kill Swords merge with the array diagram!"

Suddenly, Mi Zhen shouted, his face turning extremely gloomy.

"boom!"

A burst of azure celestial radiance erupted, and the Refining God Pot glowed, its entire body gleaming. It suddenly surged upwards, attempting to block the array diagram and prevent it from falling further.

At the same time, Ye Fan, the Holy Prince, and Ji Zi also activated their imperial weapons, positioning themselves between the array diagram and the Four Kill Swords.

The two imperial artifacts had not yet been combined, yet they had already unleashed such terrifying power. If they were to be combined into one, one could foresee how earth-shattering it would be.

"boom!"

This place exploded. Even the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Spring of Life couldn't withstand the collision of the ultimate divine power. Chaos spread, lightning and thunder struck, as if the world was about to be destroyed.

From the highest heavens to the deepest hell, all the realms trembled. Countless stars shattered, falling continuously, or turning into dust on the spot. Black seawater swept up, surging into the sky and crashing against the ends of the firmament.

This was a terrifying collision. The power of the ultimate path tore through the void and surged into the universe, obliterating countless stars and shattering countless ancient lands!

"puff!"

A dazzling azure light burst forth, sending it flying backward out of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, tearing through the void, and disappearing into the deepest reaches of the universe.

People stared wide-eyed. Had the battle been decided? Why did the Divine Refining Pot retreat so suddenly?

At this moment, at the center of the collision, divine light surged and countless laws were at play. No matter how amazing your divine eyes were, you could not see through that place.

Only when the divine light dimmed and all fluctuations disappeared were the people able to glimpse the inside story, and then they all gaped in astonishment.

The array diagram and the four killing swords have merged into one, and an overwhelming killing aura permeates the air. The sword energy is like a long dragon, the Milky Way hangs upside down, the universe collapses, and stars turn into dust, constantly falling and smashing this black sea of ​​bitterness into towering waves, pouring into the depths of the star field.

Under the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, any tangible matter would be pulverized. Nothing could withstand the rolling sword energy and overwhelming killing intent, creating a scene like a purgatory on earth, vast and boundless. And this was only the result of the sword formation operating naturally; if it were to unleash its full power, the heavens and earth would likely collapse and shatter!
The scene was now completely silent; everyone there had vanished into thin air. Only Ye Fan, with the Immortal Cauldron on his head, Ji Zi, holding the Void Mirror, and the Holy Prince, wielding the Immortal Iron Cudgel, remained.

They seemed completely unaffected, their expressions calm and collected, and they did nothing to stop the formation diagram from merging with the Four Kill Swords.

As for Mi Zhen, who also possessed an imperial weapon, he has now disappeared from the scene. It seems that the Refining God Pot did not take him with it when it left.

Then came the others—the Divine Court, Phoenix Nest, Dao Palace, and other forces—all were annihilated, their bodies and souls obliterated by the aftershocks.

"My God, is this the legendary Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, capable of slaying immortals?!"

"Can such terrifying killing power be unleashed simply by combining the array diagram with the killing sword?"

"Wait, how come the three of them are alright, but Mi Zhen is dead?"

Everyone gasped in shock at the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the disbelief that Ye Fan and the other two were still alive.

Even though Mi Zhen was a Great Sage protected by an Imperial Weapon, he was still annihilated, body and soul. These three could not possibly be stronger than Mi Zhen, so why were they unharmed?

This doesn't make sense, but people can't figure out the secret behind it.

After the great battle ended, the Refining God Pot retreated, and a large number of powerful figures from Mi Zhen, the Divine Court, the Dao Palace, and the Phoenix Nest perished, leaving no one able to retrieve the Killing Sword.

Now that the array diagram and the killing sword are combined, no one can take it away.

"What a pity! Not only the Imperial Sword and the array diagram, but also the Ancient Tree of Life!" someone sighed.

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, an ancient tree swayed, releasing a massive amount of life essence. Even from a great distance, one's body instinctively yearned to get closer.

But no one dared to do that. Everyone had witnessed the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Even imperial weapons couldn't withstand it, let alone mortals like them.

As for Ye Fan and the others, it was obvious to everyone that they wouldn't make a move.

"This is the power of an Emperor. He is on the other side of the Milky Way, yet he can control an Emperor's weapon and kill Great Saints like ants," Ye Fan said with some emotion.

"The ancient emperors ruled the universe, reigning supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths, even capable of breaking through the cycle of reincarnation. Their combat power was so great that it was unimaginable," said the Holy Prince.

He was an ancient prince. Although he was sealed away when he was a few years old, he had experienced his father's power up close and had a very clear understanding of the existence of an ancient emperor.

Himeko is the same. She was sealed away even later, and all her joys and sorrows were in the ancient times. She spent more time by her father's side and was more deeply moved by the Emperor's divine power.

It can be said that a major reason why the second generation of emperors have such reverence for their fathers is that they have truly experienced that kind of power.

In the universe of Shrouding the Heavens, there is truly nothing that those who reach the pinnacle of cultivation cannot do, except for the inability to achieve immortality.

This only made Ji Zi and the Holy Prince even more shocked; they couldn't understand how Li Yao had done it.

No matter how powerful a quasi-emperor is, he is still just a quasi-emperor and cannot compare with an emperor.

This is something they have always firmly believed in, so the belief in enlightenment is deeply rooted in their hearts.

But now, that idea has been shattered. Quasi-emperors can really rebel against emperors, and common sense has been completely overturned.

What they found most unacceptable was that their father no longer seemed invincible.

Since Li Yao was able to defeat the current emperor at the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, it proves that his combat power surpasses that of all emperors throughout history.

In the past, Ji Zi could say that she had lived a life of unparalleled power and was no less capable than anyone else. The Holy Prince could boast that the Undying Emperor was nothing special, but his dojo was blasted to smithereens by his father's Holy Emperor Fist.

But now they know that Li Yaoruo is in the same era as their father, and judging from his behavior, he really could become an enemy, even...
