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

Chapter 399 Breakthrough
Life continued peacefully as always. Li Yao was not in a hurry to undergo the tribulation and continued to spend his days with the three women, completely ignoring the turmoil outside.

It's obvious that the Supreme Being will be in an uproar during this tribulation, and will most likely be unable to remain calm.

If the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor is already this exaggerated, what level would the ninth level reach? It's unimaginable.

The ancient supreme beings absolutely did not want a figure like Wushi to appear at this juncture, when the path to immortality was about to open.

This is far too much of a variable for them, especially for those supreme beings who are convinced that the path to immortality through the Big Dipper is the right choice.

The Immortal Realm is mysterious, and no one can say for sure what the specifics are. Everyone is vying for power. If Li Yao survives the Nine Heavens Tribulation, who in this world can stop him?!
In other words, the Supreme Beings had not anticipated this situation at all. They thought that the path to immortality was about to open, and that they would all rush into the Immortal Realm. No matter how strong Li Yao eventually became, it would be the Supreme Beings' misfortune, and there would be no conflict of interest with them.

Therefore, even though Li Yao defeated the Golden Crow Emperor, and some supreme beings were worried, they were able to keep their emotions in check.

After all, no one could have predicted that Li Yao would break through again in just over a decade.

The more amazing a person is, the more stubborn they tend to be, and the more fixed their way of thinking they are.

For example, the Supreme Beings, which one of them wasn't a figure who amazed the ancient history? Yet when they attained enlightenment and became Supreme Beings, the youngest were already six or seven hundred years old, the later ones were over a thousand years old, and some who achieved great things late in life were even several thousand years old when they attained enlightenment.

Therefore, when supreme beings think about things, they will subconsciously apply their own experiences to the situation.

Even if Li Yao is incredibly talented and more amazing than they were back then, it's impossible for him to attain enlightenment in just two hundred years! It would take at least another two hundred years.

This is a view that is basically agreed upon by all the Supreme Beings, who also think it is already quite exaggerated.

Otherwise, they would have attacked together long ago and killed Li Yao beforehand, instead of giving him so much time to continue growing.

To put it bluntly, it's all about wishful thinking; people feel they haven't reached that point yet and don't want to risk their lives.

Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this point, where they can no longer do anything to Li Yao, and even the most extreme attempts to improve their situation are useless.

In this situation, if Li Yao were to further provoke the forbidden zones of life, it's possible that the Supreme Beings might go mad and attack Yao Guang Saint, creating an opening for him.

Sometimes, when all hope seems lost, it's not surprising to see people do something crazy.

Of course, the probability of this is not high. Supreme beings are usually very proud and would not stoop to such petty behavior.

Rather than threatening them, they would most likely choose to fight Li Yao, since they were both once invincible figures of their time.

However, one should always be wary of others. Li Yao felt it was best to have a few backup plans. If nothing went wrong, all would be well, but if something did happen, he could react in time.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

Li Yao immediately thought of this peerless sword formation, which is said to be able to kill immortals and is good at both offense and defense, making it the best defensive method.

Li Yao's current mastery of array formations is, without exaggeration, enough to rival Lingbao Tianzun. While he may not surpass him, they are certainly comparable.

If he personally sets up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, even a supreme being would not be able to break it in a short time, so there is no need to worry too much about Yao Guang's safety.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Li Yao has been mainly setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and adjusting his own condition.

Finally, on this day, the sword formation was completed, and his condition reached its peak.

"Hey!"

Without hesitation, Li Yao tore through the void, traversing to the edge of the universe. His unparalleled aura was not concealed at all, spreading like a divine sea, rushing across the edge and engulfing most of the universe. At this moment, heaven and earth trembled, and countless roars resounded. A dazzling beam of light pierced the universe, illuminating the endless dark starry sky.

That was the light of Li Yao's Sendai, dazzling to the extreme, eternal and immortal, causing all living beings in the heavens and myriad realms to kneel and worship with utmost devotion.

A cosmic gale swept across the desolate land, Li Yao's full head of black hair danced wildly, and his eyes seemed to hold a universe within them, where the sun and moon were destroyed, the galaxy collapsed, and there was a scene of the beginning of the world.

He sat cross-legged in the void, his whole body began to glow, his chaotic immortal power surged, and his blood and qi churned like a roaring ocean, deafeningly loud.

This was a peculiar fluctuation, affecting the surrounding star field, which pulsed in sync with Li Yao's breathing. The myriad laws of nature were also active and influenced by a certain rhythm.

Over the years of cultivation, Li Yao's Chaotic Body has been growing and is getting closer and closer to perfection.

But it was that last point that prevented him from achieving a perfect transformation. Even though he had a profound understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang, he still couldn't meet the requirements for transformation.

If it were an ordinary person, they would most likely choose to change direction at this point, as continuing to stubbornly pursue the Yin-Yang principle is no longer realistic.

After all, if we were to make a comparison, Li Yao's current understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao is no less than that of the two Holy Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang. If he wants to continue to improve, it would take at least a thousand years before he can make any progress.

But Li Yao is different; he always perseveres to the end, firmly believing that great power can create miracles.

Since the Yin-Yang principle in the realm of humanity cannot be improved, why not become an immortal?

"boom!"

In the Heavenly Book Space, the pages recording the two immortal scriptures shone brightly, and mysterious Daoist charm flowed through them. Li Yao transformed into the two Great Daos of Yin and Yang themselves.

Yin cannot produce life, and Yang cannot grow. Everything in the world has a Yin and Yang distinction. Existence and non-existence give rise to each other, and difficulty and ease complement each other.

Heaven and earth have day and night, cold and heat; all living things have yin and yang. Yin and yang are the way!
Yin and Yang are the origin of all things. Because of Yin and Yang, all living beings were born in the world. And at the end of Yin and Yang is the chaos before the creation of heaven and earth, before Yin and Yang were separated!

The path Li Yao took was one of reversing chaos through the interplay of Yin and Yang.

This is extremely difficult. The transformation of chaos into yin and yang is in accordance with nature, while going against it is going against the will of heaven and violating the process of the evolution of the Great Dao.

Throughout history, countless outstanding individuals have embarked on the path of cultivating Yin and Yang, but their ultimate fates have all been tragic.

The only successful Eastern Taiyi also drew upon the philosophy of Taiji, separating the Yin and Yang sacred powers to prevent them from colliding.

This approach allows Dongfang Taiyi to wield two sacred powers simultaneously, making him incredibly powerful in battle, but it makes it impossible for him to reverse the chaos through his acquired abilities.

……

Li Yao did not believe the saying that human strength has its limits. He always felt that everything has an upper limit, but he had no limits.

If the Yin-Yang principle is blocked and the chaotic body cannot be completely reversed, then one should seek out a higher level of Yin-Yang principle.

"Buzz!"

After an unknown amount of time, the Heavenly Book Space returned to calm, and Li Yao underwent a great change.

His pupils were completely different; his left eye was utter darkness, beyond the reach of his vision, while his right eye was pure, blinding light!
Close your right eye, and the edge of the universe plunges into darkness, so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face, and even the stars no longer shine.

When I closed my left eye, the universe was bright, and a dazzling sun rose, so bright that even the stars paled in comparison.
