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

Chapter 405 Imperial War
At the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, Li Yao has reached his most prosperous state to date, with his body, magic power, and primordial spirit all being comprehensively improved.

The primordial chaos surged, increasing his base stats many times over. Combined with his cultivation level, his combat power soared to an unimaginable degree.

"You won't hide this time, will you?" Shi Huang stopped walking and pointed his black and gold halberd at Li Yao.

boom!
It was just a simple action, yet the entire universe trembled, as if unable to withstand the immense power emanating from the Emperor's body.

Shi Huang was very confident. Even if Li Yao broke through, his fighting spirit remained unshaken. He might weigh the pros and cons, but once he made a choice, he would not back down. He looked down on the world and believed himself to be the only one worthy of respect.

This kind of personality is not uncommon in the world. In fact, it can be said that almost all those who reach the top have this mindset. Failure becomes a laughing stock, while for successful people, this attitude is a distinct personality trait.

Shi Huang is a typical example. He was extremely arrogant. Before his defeat, he was confident that he was invincible no matter who he faced.

"I avoided you earlier only because I wasn't in good condition. Otherwise, what makes you think I wouldn't dare to fight you?"

Li Yao stood tall on the sea of ​​stars, his expression utterly calm, but his words were incredibly arrogant.

"A mere cultivator about to attain enlightenment, yet he is so arrogant." The Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor was majestic and imposing, with long, fiery red hair flowing down his back and sharp golden eyes that seemed to conceal two heavenly blades, looking down upon the world.

With a clang, he drew a crimson longsword, its crystal-clear brilliance resembling drops of phoenix blood, exquisitely beautiful. Engraved on it was a divine bird, bathed in flames, sacred and divine!
This is his ancient imperial weapon, the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Blade, which once shook the ancient times. It is now in a state of full recovery, its divine might sweeping across the entire star field. The mere emanation of its imperial might is enough to make a Great Sage kneel and worship.

The other three supreme beings also made their moves. The Celestial Venerable of Longevity even stepped down from his chariot, holding the Longevity Sword. With a gentle stroke of the snow-white blade, he cleaved open the universe, creating a massive void rift that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, from which chaotic energy emanated.

"A swift victory is needed; he's not worth wasting too much of our life energy on," the Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins said coldly.

"Come and fight!" Li Yao roared, showing no fear even of the five supreme beings before him.

"boom!"

The surging chaotic immortal power burst forth from his pores, and Li Yao's entire body flowed with immortal radiance. He formed hand seals and unleashed a terrifying power that shook the mortal realm.

The secret of the "Fighting" character unfolds, revealing a lifelike black imperial cauldron, every line and vein radiating supreme power.

A great war was about to break out, and a terrifying wave of destruction spread, engulfing the entire universe, causing all living beings in all the heavens and myriad realms to be filled with fear.

"boom!"

The black imperial cauldron flew out, carrying supreme magical power, piercing through the cosmic barrier and striking into the deepest void, where it trembled violently, seemingly intent on completely destroying this universe.

An unprecedented explosion occurred, the starry sky burst open like a vessel, and endless chaotic divine power surged, impacting every corner.

That was a torrent of laws, as if it were about to create the world and reshape a vast universe.

Faced with this attack, even the five supreme beings dared not underestimate it and used all their strength to resist.

This was an absolutely unprecedented battle, with one person fighting five supreme beings alone. It was like a scene from a myth. Not only had the world never seen such a battle, but even ancient books did not record it.

There are some legends, such as the Ruthless Man and Wushi, who once managed to fight against many opponents, but the number of them was definitely not even close to the number in one hand!
So what we're seeing right now is truly legendary. Even if they lose, this kind of spirit alone is enough to be remembered for eternity. When future generations mention it, they will only feel admiration, not ridicule.

This is because Li Yao's opponents are supreme beings, truly invincible figures, each of whom was once the ruler of the universe, reigning supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths.

The great battle broke out suddenly. Several supreme beings made their moves, and the attacks they launched contained the power to destroy the universe. Although they were not the strongest secret techniques and did not involve risking their lives, their power was still terrifying in the eyes of those who were about to achieve enlightenment.

"Hey!"

The universe was torn apart, and the black halberd cleaved through the nine heavens. Its terrifying power was like the universe exploding in an instant, containing immeasurable divine might.

Shi Huang, wielding his halberd, advanced relentlessly, his body sweeping across the sea of ​​stars. The snow-white halberd blade cleaved down, aiming straight for Li Yao's head.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how powerful your life force is and how long it can extend my life."

The chilling words echoed through the sky, like eternal frost, sending shivers down one's spine.

"You wretched rat, how dare you be so arrogant? Watch me kill you." Li Yao's eyes flashed like cold lightning as he unleashed the Dou Zi Secret Technique, transforming it into a dragon sword, which he wielded to meet the black halberd.

The imperial dragon aura surged, and the longsword resembled an ancestral dragon, shaking its head and wagging its tail. Its supreme divine power swept across the sky and earth, and it was none other than the Supreme Emperor Sword of the Great Xia Dynasty!
"when!"

A deafening roar erupted, sparks flew, piercing the sky, and the entire galaxy shattered, the void collapsing. Amidst the blinding divine light, a figure was sent flying backward, a streak of imperial blood, radiating unparalleled killing intent, streaking across the ravaged universe.

As the Stone Emperor retreated, cracks appeared on his halberd-wielding arm, spreading upwards and almost covering both arms. A terrifying Dao principle, like a maggot clinging to his bones, was eroding his Dao.

"He ultimately severed himself. Though he possessed the body of an emperor, he lacked the flawless laws of the imperial path." Li Yao remained unmoved, not pursuing the stone emperor, and looked at him with mockery.

The ancient supreme beings were a special state; they were once emperors and sovereigns, and their physiques were undoubtedly those of emperors.

As a Holy Spirit, the Stone Emperor's physique was even stronger than that of ordinary Great Emperors, and at his peak, he was a quasi-Heavenly Emperor.

While physical strength is important in the battle between emperors, the true deciding factor is the clash of their Daos. After a supreme being severs their own Dao, their own Dao is flawed and cannot be perfectly displayed.

Therefore, in that last attack, the two were evenly matched in terms of physique. Li Yao's physique was probably slightly stronger, but not to the point of overwhelming him. The real difference was the disparity in their respective Great Dao Divine Laws.

"boom!"

Just as the Stone Emperor was defeated, the Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins made a move, unleashing a cluster of runes, extremely profound, which engulfed Li Yao within them.

At the same time, the Supreme Being of the Primordial Ancient Mine also emerged, with a stone tower above his head, chaotic energy descending, and imperial might surging forth like a vast divine sea.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Ancient Emperor of Vermilion Bird stood guard, waiting for any opportunity that might arise. Both the Immortal Sword and the Ancient Blade of Vermilion Bird exuded an aura that made one's primordial spirit tremble.

For beings of their caliber, as long as the enemy reveals a weakness, even if that opportunity is fleeting, they will seize it and launch a fatal attack.

"You're all too old, you should have died long ago!" Li Yao roared, his hands tracing the path of enlightenment, chaotic immortal power surging, and myriad paths roaring.

At this moment, the universe is upside down, spacetime is out of order, and common sense is broken.

Li Yao formed hand seals, each inscribing a rune. With a boom, the words "Time" and "Space" appeared, disrupting the normal operation of the universe. It was as if an illusory river surrounded him.

The spacetime of this universe is in disarray and beginning to blur. Large stars that were originally blasted into dust are restored, while intact stars simply disappear as if they were never born. Everything has been overturned.

Li Yao is like a god, wielding the power of time in his left hand and the power of space in his right, possessing the two most powerful Daos in the universe.

With a "boom," he pressed down with his right hand, and the power of space spread out. He performed a great shift in the universe, and the two supreme beings who had attacked him disappeared and appeared in another star system.

As the master of the Heavenly Book, Li Yao is proficient in all methods. The Void Dao he learned from the Chaotic Ancient Scripture has long surpassed its master, reaching a new level that is no weaker than the Void Emperor.

It's quite normal that the two supreme beings, caught off guard, fell victim to the attack.

Upon seeing this, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor and the Eternal Heavenly Venerable instantly unleashed their swords, one striking downwards with force, the other piercing the sun like a rainbow.

"Buzz!"

Li Yao's eyes flashed like cold lightning. Instead of striking with a single palm, he suddenly pressed down with both hands. Time in front of him became disordered, space exploded, and the two supreme beings were forced back, coughing up blood.

"boom!"

Then, Li Yao put his hands together, merging space and time, causing a great tremor in the universe, and everything became unstable.

Time reigns supreme, space is king!
When these two divine powers merge, their power is unimaginable, and how terrifying it will be.

Heaven and earth exploded, and the divine power of time and space pressed forward. The terrifying divine might was overwhelming, and even the supreme beings changed color.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality narrowed his eyes, his unparalleled magical power surged, and the imperial might of the long sword in his hand astonished the world, severing the two realms, and the light of the sword chilled all the heavens and myriad domains.

At the same moment, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor also made his move. His imperial laws were boundless, and his Heavenly Blade was like the Heavenly Dao, domineering and unparalleled, traversing the universe.

"boom!"

A brilliant burst of light erupted, dazzling rays of light struck the universe, shaking the world. It was a destructive collision, with beams of light shooting out, blindingly bright.
