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

Chapter 407 Supreme Emperor
The entire universe fell silent, filled with mournful cries, and shock resounded everywhere!

This outcome is terrifying and has left everyone deeply disturbed.

A supreme being, in the process of reaching the ultimate sublimation, was forcefully interrupted and then killed by the shock!

On the ancient star of the Big Dipper, almost all the supreme beings were awakened and looked towards the edge of the universe.

The battle just now made the Supremes tense, as it concerned everyone.

I never imagined that in the process of sublimation, that weakness that lasts for eternity could become a fatal disaster.

At this moment, the Supreme Beings were sincerely grateful to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor and Li Yao. Otherwise, they would not have been on guard, and if it were them next time, it would be a catastrophe.

Once they know this, with the supreme power, they can completely avoid such a thing from happening, and won't die as miserably as the Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor.

Yes, it was incredibly frustrating. The Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor wasn't killed by someone with overwhelming power; such a death was simply too unfortunate.

This was the view of almost all the Supreme Beings, and after the initial shock, they quickly calmed down.

But cultivators from all over the universe didn't care about any of that. They didn't think Li Yao's victory was unfair. On the contrary, they admired Li Yao's combat prowess and were happy about the fall of the Supreme Being.

"An ancient supreme being, the emperor who ruled the world in the primordial era, is dead. After Li Zhizun broke through, has his combat power become this strong?"

"This is terrifying. He hasn't even attained the Dao yet, but he already has the record of killing an ancient emperor. If he does attain the Dao, he will probably be on par with the emperors of the mythical era."

"He should no longer be called Supreme Li. Even though he has not yet attained enlightenment, he is already no less than emperors and sovereigns throughout history. He can be called Great Emperor!"

Throughout the myriad realms and countless ancient planets, a tremendous uproar erupted as everyone was stunned by the fall of the supreme being.

"boom!"

At almost the same time, four vast divine powers swept across the universe, boundless and radiant.

After countless years, the four peak Emperor-level powerhouses once again displayed their glorious past.

All of this seems to have happened a long time ago, but in fact, from the moment Li Yao took action to the moment he killed the Vermilion Bird Ancient Emperor, it was all just a matter of a flash.

So much happened in that instant that it felt like an eternity.

"I really underestimated you. You're ruthless and decisive, and your timing is impeccable. But unfortunately, you're about to be finished." The Stone Emperor's face was cold, devoid of any emotion, but his words were chillingly sharp.

"You have created enough legends. Even if you perish here, you will be remembered by future generations. That would be a worthwhile life," the Primordial Ancient Mine Supreme said coldly.

"Such a lineup was once used when we were setting up the Emperor. Even if you die, you will have no regrets." The Eternal Heavenly Venerable sighed, recalling the past with a deeply melancholic expression.

"The blood of an emperor with a chaotic body, I have never tasted it before," said the Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins.

The four supreme beings stood high above, majestic and imposing, exuding an air of absolute confidence. They were not even in a hurry to make a move, wanting to see their enemies filled with fear and dread.

Indeed, this is true. They have all reached the pinnacle of their abilities, recreating the flawless imperial power and divine might, making them able to stand out from all people throughout history.

To put it bluntly, even if the Emperor himself were to appear before them, they would dare to draw their swords and fight. Before the battle even begins, none of them believe they will lose.

This is not arrogance, nor is it a lack of understanding of reality. Without this mindset, they would not have achieved what they have today.

Every ancient emperor and great ruler was invincible; this was not just a saying. The unique environment of the world of "Covering the Sky" created this situation. Emperors never met each other, and they never experienced defeat in their lives, always firmly believing in their invincibility. In their life's creed, there was no such thing as losing.

Despite being veterans of the industry, in some ways they were like a group of inexperienced young calves who had never been properly disciplined, a trait that persisted throughout their lives.

Li Yao's expression turned solemn. Before he could even feel the joy of killing a Supreme Being, he had to re-enter battle mode.

The four ancient emperors and celestial beings who have reached the pinnacle of their power—what an immense force this is! Each of them is an invincible being.

The Void Emperor spent his life in battle, either fighting or on his way to battle. Before his Dao wounds had healed, he was injured again. Even his imperial weapon evolved into a semi-immortal artifact because it was bathed in too much imperial blood.

Even so, in nearly ten thousand years, the number of supreme beings killed in the void was at most five or six.

The price to pay was that even if he took the elixir of immortality, the total of the two emperors' lives of the Void Emperor was only equal to the one emperor's life of any other emperor.

This shows how difficult it is to kill a supreme being. Killing even one is difficult, let alone fighting multiple opponents.

After breaking through to the Ninth Heaven Realm, Li Yao's combat power increased greatly, and he underwent a transformation in all aspects. He was even stronger than he had initially expected, and his strength was infinitely close to that of the Heavenly Emperor.

If we really want to compare, his current combat power is probably even stronger than that of Void, Hengyu, Western Emperor, and the second incarnation of the Taiyin Sun Saint Emperor at their peak.

Unfortunately, he didn't achieve a qualitative leap, failing to reach the level of a Heavenly Emperor. On the other hand, the Stone Emperor, who attained enlightenment through the Holy Spirit, and the Longevity Heavenly Venerable, one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables, are undoubtedly among the best of the Great Emperors, quasi-Heavenly Emperor level beings.

During their limited peak years, they were not much weaker than Li Yao.

Li Yao was confident that he could easily defeat his opponent in a one-on-one situation, and he could even handle two opponents at once.

However, the current situation is that, apart from the Stone Emperor and the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, there are two other ancient emperors who are also eyeing the throne, and they should not be underestimated.

We can't confront them head-on!
Almost immediately, Li Yao formulated a battle plan, choosing to avoid the enemy's sharpest attack.

The supreme beings possess great power, which is their advantage, but they are not perfect. Their combat strength cannot be sustained, and both their strengths and weaknesses are too obvious.

"Hey!"

With lightning speed, Li Yao gathered up the scattered flesh and blood and the Phoenix Blood Battle Blade, and used the same trick again. He unleashed the Word of Movement Secret, freezing time and space, and his body pierced through the void like a Kunpeng spreading its wings.

"Heh, in front of the Ancient Emperor, the same technique can only be used once." The Stone Emperor sneered, as if he already knew Li Yao's thoughts.

"May Heaven bestow blessings, and may the Holy Spirit open the heavens!" he roared, his voice shaking the universe. The cosmos trembled violently, and the supreme imperial might swept across the universe.

"Buzz!"

Countless runes appeared, dazzling and brilliant, each line representing a supreme principle, profound and mysterious.

"Did you think we were just spouting useless nonsense to you? We were just trying to keep you calm." Shi Huang's lips curled up in a smug smile.

It turns out that long ago, when the Stone Emperor had completed his ultimate sublimation and returned to his flawless imperial status, he had already planned out the rhythm of the upcoming battle.

First, we need to deal with Li Yao's ghostly speed; otherwise, if he wants to escape, he will be in an invincible position.

The Supreme Being's weakness is known throughout the universe. Li Yao knows it, and the Supreme Being himself knows it. How could he not have thought of this?

Therefore, after the ultimate sublimation was completed, the Stone Emperor did not attack immediately. He spoke with seemingly arrogance, while the other supreme beings understood and cooperated tacitly, taking turns to stall for time.

Li Yao was pondering the rhythm of the upcoming battle, and so were the Supremes; their minds were not blank.

We are all protagonists of our time. You can say the supreme beings are bad, but you can't say they are incompetent.

The secret of the "Xing" character was blocked; this was the first time Li Yao had encountered such a situation.

The Holy Spirit separated this universe, forming a unique Great Thousand World, which is closely connected to the Stone Emperor. To leave, one must first kill the spellcaster.

Li Yao's heart tightened, and he turned to look at the four, but his expression remained calm, without any sign of anxiety.

The idea of ​​a kite master is no longer realistic; a direct confrontation is necessary.

Although this was different from what Li Yao had anticipated, he was not afraid. His cultivation level immediately surged, pushing his combat power to its limit.

"boom!"

Without further ado, the Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins took the lead, wielding an Eternal Blue-Gold Whip, which cleaved down from the sky, shattering the endless universe, and illuminating this world with blue immortal light.

The Emperor's divine might is vast and boundless. This is a true peak ancient emperor, capable of shaking the heavens above and exploring the netherworld below, ruling the universe, and being invincible across all realms!

Li Yao's eyes were sharp, and he focused most of his attention on guarding against the other three. At the same time, he used the "Soldier" secret technique to forcibly control the Vermilion Bird Ancient Blade and meet the Blue Gold Iron Whip.

"when!"

Sparks flew everywhere, terrifying shockwaves filled the air, and a great battle was about to break out. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged hundreds of blows.

Each collision resulted in unimaginable catastrophe, with endless chaotic energy spreading and small worlds being created and destroyed in an instant.

The beam of extreme light shot into the sky, laws shot out in all directions, imperial blood dripped from the sky, and the killing intent was boundless. Both of them were bleeding and injured.

"boom!"

Just then, the Primordial Ancient Mine Supreme also moved, unleashing a vast array of Imperial Laws that condensed into an ancient universe, which crashed down upon Li Yao.

At the same time, the Longevity Sword stirred up billions of sword energies, like a galaxy, sweeping wildly towards Li Yao.
