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

Chapter 401 Chaotic Divine Embryo
On the edge of the universe, Li Yao nearly exploded from top to bottom, his bones shattering and constantly reforming, his crimson blood draining away, his old skin peeling off, and his broken bones being expelled from his body.

This is a brutal process, a complete transformation, incredibly intense, cutting off the old and ushering in a new life!

Li Yao's aura grew increasingly weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Only the large cocoon on his abdomen shone brighter, and a human figure could already be seen within it.

"Boom!"

Just then, this world underwent a tremendous change. The Milky Way exploded, and lightning flashed at the very top of the sky, beginning to press down.

A great calamity is coming!

When it rains, it pours; this perfectly describes Li Yao's current situation. He was already on the verge of life and death when a calamity struck from the outside.

Unparalleled lightning poured down, dense and numerous, filling the desolate borderlands and even spreading into the vast universe.

From a distance, the lightning bolts were thick and each one looked like thousands of stars strung together in a line, exuding an aura of terrifying destruction.

At that moment, the universe fell silent, except for the thunderous roar, and all living beings felt the apocalyptic shockwaves.

"Is this a direct path to enlightenment?"

"How can it be so terrifying? It feels no less terrifying than the Golden Crow Emperor's Dao Proving Tribulation!"

Throughout the myriad realms, all those with profound cultivation could not help but be shocked and found it difficult to remain calm.

This wasn't because they were making a fuss; it was because the fluctuation was terrifying. The emperor's might was unleashed, and all paths submitted, like a heavenly emperor reigning over all the heavens!

In the Divine Court, the Dao Palace, the Phoenix Nest, and other places, those who were about to attain Dao were all speechless.

Only those at their level can clearly perceive that this is not a tribulation for attaining enlightenment, but rather a tribulation of the Nine Heavens.

However, this great calamity is a bit too exaggerated. If these supreme experts who have already survived the great calamity and established themselves in the Ninth Heaven were to appear in the great calamity, they would probably be quickly obliterated by the lightning.

The differences between people are on full display at this moment.

The Emperor, the Woodcutter, the Immortal Empress, the Old God, and others are undoubtedly outstanding figures, among the best in any era.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, they have all been peerless geniuses in the eyes of the world, their brilliance shining through the ages.

This era is considered a golden age rarely seen in history, and so-called gods, demon gods, and emperors are regarded as peerless geniuses by the world.

However, little did they know that in the eyes of the emperors, these people were utterly insignificant and could not be compared to them in their youth.

Even Ye Fan and the ancient princes were not taken seriously by them; it was just a minor skirmish.

At the very least, one must achieve the status of a quasi-emperor and maintain this momentum to truly be considered a peerless hero.

The story of Zhong Yong, who was tragically short of his full potential, is happening all the time in this universe; countless examples can be found throughout ancient history.

Only those like them, who have weathered countless storms and overcome all hardships and obstacles, reaching the pinnacle of Quasi-Emperor status, can truly be considered supreme powerhouses.

Even such an amazing person was crushed at this moment, and deeply felt the difference in talent.

It turns out that one day, people like them will all become ordinary and have to look up to others.

"boom!"

At the edge of the universe, Li Yao was focused and concentrated. Even though he was being subjected to heavenly tribulation, he forgot himself and the world around him and sublimated his own being!
The lightning that filled the sky was a deadly threat to those who were about to attain enlightenment, but for him, it became a great tonic, providing him with a continuous source of divine energy.

Li Yao almost instinctively activated the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, plundering the creation of heaven and earth to nourish himself.

The precarious situation miraculously stabilized after receiving external support, and the patient's breathing stopped declining.

Rumble!
The muffled thunder was like a chariot from the heavens, carrying out the will of heaven and earth, rampaging and crushing down, engulfing Li Yao.

The endless lightning changed. The Purple Heaven Tribulation, numbering ninety-nine, descended. It was not pure lightning, but vast expanses of the Great Dao's light, which transformed into billions of miles of purple energy that pressed down, boundless and limitless, like the sky itself collapsing.

As you can see, the eighty-one great tribulations are like eighty-one layers of heaven, filled with purple mist, each strand as thick as a mountain, causing galaxies to collapse and borderlands to crumble wherever they go.

The scene was terrifying. The great calamity had only just begun, yet it had already reached this point; all the great stars in the borderlands had been reduced to dust, leaving nothing behind.

Normal people would never encounter a heavenly tribulation of this magnitude when undergoing tribulation; it destroyed the desolate borderlands at the very beginning.

Li Yao remained unmoved, sitting cross-legged on the ground of destruction, continuing his transformation. Bone fragments and old skin fell off one after another, and the large callus on his abdomen became increasingly bright.

At the same time, his physique was also undergoing tremendous changes. The incomplete chaotic origin was evolving wildly, moving towards a flawless origin.

Finally, the transformation was complete, the old body was completely eradicated, and the heavens and earth were moved, giving birth to a new acquired chaotic body!
"boom!"

Suddenly, Li Yao was jolted violently as countless forces collided, blasting him into dust, leaving only his divine embryo standing between heaven and earth.

This is a necessary process. For an acquired chaotic body to be perfect, it must receive the empowerment of all paths and defy everything in order to truly succeed. Clearly, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the place exploded, as if it were about to collapse. The laws of heaven and earth were annihilated, and a terrifying aura spread out, piercing through the past, present, and future!

The Supreme One has made a move!
If Li Yao had previously been suspected of feigning weakness to lure people in, then at this moment, he has truly lost most of his fighting strength.

The supreme beings are all former emperors and sovereigns, standing at the pinnacle of the world, knowledgeable about the past and present, and there are few things they do not know.

As the most powerful physique in the world, the Chaos Body has been studied to varying degrees by the Supreme Beings, who know some of its secrets.

In other words, the Supreme Being had anticipated Li Yao's current predicament and had been waiting for this opportunity.

Therefore, they acted decisively without the slightest hesitation.

As for the world-ending calamity, it was not taken seriously by the Supreme Being.

Their true forms have been born, so why should they fear heavenly tribulations? They have all survived the tribulations of attaining enlightenment, so what great tribulation could threaten them?
This is a scene rarely seen in history, with five ancient emperors gathered together and appearing in the same world.

Since the end of the mythological era, when the Emperor established the ancient Heavenly Court and created the coexistence of various emperors, such a miracle has occurred again after tens of millions of years.

The five supreme beings unleashed their divine power without restraint, and the entire universe seemed on the verge of destruction. All living beings sensed this aura.

Several supreme experts, as well as some people who observed the borderlands through special means, felt a chill run down their spines, and their hearts jumped into their throats.

This is a decisive situation!

They shared this idea, as if they could already foresee the shattering of the Chaos Divine Embryo.

Li Yao is very strong. Everyone believes that in a one-on-one battle, no supreme being could defeat him.

But now, the five supreme beings are attacking together, and their unparalleled combat power is enough to destroy the universe.

In such a situation, who can stop it?!
Some well-informed old-timers, in particular, have already concluded that Li Yao is doomed!

Heaven, earth, humanity, gods, and ghosts all worship the Emperor!
What kind of existence is this? Even an emperor as powerful as him perished under the combined attack of several celestial beings.

No matter how powerful Li Yao is, can he compare to the Emperor who wields the Immortal Cauldron?
No one thought so. If Li Yao were to attain enlightenment, he would surely become a figure like an emperor, but right now he is not even a person about to attain enlightenment.

"boom!"

The most brilliant light was emitted, the most dazzling rays shone, and a terrifying sound silenced the universe.

All those who gazed upon the desolate frontier closed their eyes, unable to look directly at the blinding light, not even those on the path to enlightenment.

Only the Golden Crow Emperor stared intently at the borderlands, awaiting the outcome of this attack.

At this moment, the imperial artifact's fluctuations shook the heavens, immortal light pierced the universe, ancient emperors reappeared, and the most powerful people in the world throughout history joined forces to kill an enemy.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud boom finally spread out.

Quasi-emperors in the universe, and many major sects that were observing through special means, all ignored the stinging pain in their eyes and looked towards the battlefield.

"how's it going?"

"Has Li Zhizun held on?"

"it's over?"

Everyone was in a state of turmoil and extreme tension.

Without a doubt, the outcome of this battle will directly change the landscape of the universe. If Li Yao is defeated, many old monsters will hide away immediately, waiting for the path to immortality to end before reappearing in the world.

"What!" Huo Sangxing, the Golden Crow's pupils widened, and a wisp of its aura uncontrollably escaped, causing a myriad of roars.

It is unacceptable that a great emperor of our time could not even control his own aura.

However, he witnessed something far too shocking.

The five supreme beings attacked together, unleashing the power of the Great Emperor, which shocked the world and dominated the ages!
With such an offensive, Jinwu knew it could not withstand it all at once and would inevitably suffer damage.

In his view, Li Yao, who was already in poor condition, must be in even worse shape.

But that's not the case; the Chaos Divine Embryo remained unchanged and was completely unaffected.
