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

Chapter 416 The Great Dao of the Primordial Spirit
The forbidden zones trembled as two Emperor-level warriors descended, surveying the five forbidden zones as a form of deterrence.

Today, Gai Jiuyou has fully recovered, with most of his body having entered the realm of the Emperor's Path. He is an unconventional Daoist who can rival the ancient supreme beings!

Such a powerful force cannot be ignored, because it is difficult to eliminate without reaching the pinnacle of power, but the price to pay for such power would be far too high.

Furthermore, there's a contemporary emperor right next to him!

Although the Golden Crow Emperor's presence is not strong, he is still an enlightened being and deserves the respect he deserves.

Thus, the two sides stood facing each other, a terrifying aura permeating the heavens and earth, the atmosphere extremely tense, with the possibility of a fight at any moment.

Jinwu was furious. He didn't want to clash with the forbidden zone; it would be best if both sides kept to themselves. But now that he was already in the Big Dipper constellation, if he didn't confront the Supreme Being now, he would completely lose face as the current emperor.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have come.

But it's too late now. No matter what the Golden Crow Emperor thinks, he has to put on an act of being irreconcilably opposed to the Supreme One.

"Roar……"

Another roar came from the crack, and terrifying divine energy crashed against the shore like a flood. Countless layers of immortal laws and Dao traces flew around, merging, colliding, and exploding with the original laws of heaven and earth!
The dragon's might was vast and majestic; just hearing its roar made one's heart race as if it were about to explode.

But... I don't know if I misheard, but although the dragon's roar was majestic and domineering, it was mixed with pain, as if it were being skinned and had its tendons ripped out.

"Was it the Heavenly Emperor? Did he trespass on the Immortal Path and encounter a true dragon?"

"Impossible, right? If it's a true dragon, then it's a celestial being! No matter how powerful the Heavenly Emperor is, he can't go against the tide and attack a celestial being."

"What's impossible? Perhaps not everyone in the Immortal Realm is an immortal. Just like in our universe, there are cultivators and mortals."

“That makes sense. The Immortal Realm may indeed exist, but it shouldn’t be entirely populated by immortals. Some may be like us, unable to live forever.”

The crowd discussed and speculated about the situation in the Immortal Realm. It was a legend that had been passed down in the world since the age of mythology, and no cultivator was not curious about it.

Not only them, but also the ancient supreme beings, the Golden Crow Emperor, and Gai Jiuyou, all wanted to know what had happened on the path to immortality.

But they couldn't see that the Immortal Path hadn't been fully opened yet. Looking inside, they could only see vast stretches of Immortal Laws, their vision blocked as if shrouded in a layer of black mist.

This was somewhat regrettable, but suddenly, boundless divine power erupted once more, like the shockwaves generated by the explosion of an ancient universe. The great rift was torn apart, and the sky was almost split in two, with a diameter of ten thousand feet.

Furthermore, the darkness behind the crack was gone, and auspicious light burst forth, making the laws enveloping the path to immortality much thinner.

The cause of all this was a great battle deep within the Immortal Path, a terrifying collision that even tore apart the laws of the Immortal Path.

Like a torrential downpour, the river swells, destroying everything in its path, splitting rocks and opening mountains, expanding the original narrow river channel into a raging torrent.

The ancient supreme beings, the Golden Crow Emperor, Gai Jiuyou, and others felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly used their supreme magical power to fix the great crack, preventing it from closing, and also clearing away the broken immortal laws.

The path to immortality became clear, the laws that had been obstructing the view disappeared, and people were able to see the scenes deep within.

Then, everyone was stunned.

What a sight it was!
It is like an epic and magnificent chapter, or a myth brought to life, which is both awe-inspiring and unreal.

"My God! It really is a dragon!"

"Is it really possible to become an immortal in this lifetime? Are true dragons from the immortal realm?"

People gasped in astonishment, gazing incredulously into the depths of the celestial path.

But soon, everyone realized something was wrong, and their minds began to waver.

It was a figure like a galaxy, perfect in every way, flawless, covered in dense black scales, as if cast from divine gold, eternally indestructible, indestructible through countless eons, each scale as huge as a star, and no weapon in the world could break it.

That's what people initially thought, but there are always exceptions.

Opposite to the perfect being is an existence as insignificant as dust in comparison.

But no one could ignore him. In fact, he was even more dazzling than the perfect creature. His body was filled with surging chaotic immortal power, surrounded by myriad paths. Although he was only the size of an ordinary person, he gave people the feeling of being as majestic as a god.

His magical power was unparalleled; he could destroy the heavens with a mere gesture. Above his head was a magnificent celestial furnace, radiating boundless energy. In his hand, he held a black halberd, with drops of bright red blood dripping from its snow-white blade.

The halberd was familiar to everyone; it was the weapon of Stone Emperor, the lord of the Undying Mountain, and now it was the spoils of war of the Heavenly Emperor.

The blood dripping from the halberd blade was clearly from the perfect creature; its head had been cleaved open with a huge crack, its white bones were split open, and blood and brain matter splattered out like molten lava.

The dragon's eyes gradually dimmed, its light faded, and with a loud crash, it fell into a pool of blood. Its massive body lay across the path to immortality, and then, at an incredible speed, it transformed into a rain of light and vanished.

A true dragon, a celestial being that exists only in legends, has actually been slain!
This scene was incredibly impactful!
"As expected, it is not a real creature, but an existence formed from the laws of immortality." A supreme being murmured, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, yet there was still a hint of regret in his voice.

The moment they saw the true dragon dissipate, the Supreme Beings realized that the true dragon was not a real entity, but merely a manifestation of the laws of immortality.

The divine aura was so real that it was hard to distinguish between reality and illusion. Even the Supreme Being only discerned a few clues from the laws of the light rain at the moment the true dragon dissipated.

It's not real!

Hearing the conversation of the supreme beings, everyone was dazed, and the shock subsided considerably.

The impact of slaying a real dragon is completely different from that of slaying a dragon formed from the condensation of laws.

On his path to immortality, Li Yao, with the Imperial Furnace above his head, sensed something and turned to look back at the path he had come from. His gaze pierced through layers of void and landed on the Eastern Wilderness.

With the laws of immortality fixed, those outside could see the scenes on the path to immortality, and he could naturally see the scenes outside as well.

"Gai Jiuyou and Jinwu actually came too!" Li Yao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

But soon, he learned what had happened outside. The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone had made a move again, and a dazzling beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth. It was the divine light emitted from the Supreme Immortal Platform!

Are these damned bastards trying to cause trouble now that they've seen him enter the Immortal Path?

A murderous intent flashed in Li Yao's eyes, and even across the Immortal Path, it cast a chilling atmosphere over the Eastern Wilderness.

However, he did not rush out immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and unleashed a vast amount of chaotic magic power, shattering the Dao principles that had fixed the Immortal Path for the Supreme Being. The Immortal Dao Laws reappeared, obscuring the internal situation of the Immortal Path.

After doing all this, Li Yao began to confine the immortal light matter, refine it into his own body, and increase his cultivation and magical power.

He is now just one step away from the peak of the Ninth Heaven. Once he senses the bottleneck, he can break through to the Great Emperor realm.

At this moment, even if Li Yao were to break out and face the forbidden zone of life, there would be limited options; he couldn't completely eradicate the forbidden zone.

On the contrary, if the Supreme Beings felt their lives were threatened and united as one, that would be a bolt from the blue for him.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to focus on cultivation first, and then clear out all the forbidden zones once you break through to the Great Emperor realm.

Li Yao sat cross-legged on the immortal path, his body transforming into a black hole that devoured all the divine energy around him, as well as the nearby immortal light, all converging towards him.

The surging divine energy and overwhelming magical power swept across, rapidly advancing towards the bottleneck.

Just then, Li Yao suddenly sensed something. Heavenly sounds rang out from the Five Great Dao Palaces, as if deities were chanting scriptures. The vast heavenly sounds resounded throughout the Immortal Path, and the laws of the Immortal Path surged.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling divine light burst forth, a resounding boom echoed from the Sea of ​​Wheels, and the giant cocoon in the chaotic world cracked open, from which a divine being was born. After such a long period of gestation, the divine being was finally able to break free of the cocoon and descend upon the chaotic world.

"Boom!"

The chaotic world trembled violently, surging like an undercurrent in the ocean, constantly churning, accompanied by raging gales that were everywhere, filled with an aura of destruction.

At this moment, Li Yao felt a jolt throughout his body, and his primordial spirit power surged. Even without undergoing tribulation, he showed a faint tendency to step into the realm of the Great Emperor.

His absorption of divine energy became increasingly exaggerated, with celestial light and matter constantly swirling and pouring towards him.

"brush!"

In the chaotic world, the divine being opened his eyes, his black hair flowing freely, his eyes filled with dazzling divine light. He sat cross-legged, completely naked, with an ancient stone furnace beside him, covered with many naturally formed patterns.

He was born holy, conceived by the primordial spirit of Li Yao, the first living being before the creation of heaven and earth.

In this chaotic world, He transcends everything, is supreme, and possesses the most unparalleled authority.

"boom!"

The divine being rose, his body agile, every muscle line conveying an aura of immense strength.

Amidst the roar of chaos, without much thought, He transformed his palm into a celestial blade and cleaved fiercely towards the chaotic world.

In an instant, the aura of creation spread, and the unparalleled sharpness of the Heavenly Blade sliced ​​through the chaotic world. The pure energy rose and the turbid energy sank, and the distance between them grew ever greater.

"upbraid!"

The divine being roared, and a sea of ​​life and death appeared between heaven and earth, where the two energies of life and death flowed endlessly, like the yin and yang fish in Tai Chi.

This is the true meaning of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, which has now been developed by the divine beings to deduce the Great Dao of Yin and Yang in the new world!

Yin and Yang are the foundation of the universe. All things in the world carry Yin and embrace Yang. The two forces of Yin and Yang are the most fundamental divine forces in the world.

God is born with knowledge. Even at birth, He knows His mission in the darkness. He is creating the world and making it stronger.

This also concerns Him; the stronger the world becomes, the more He can gain from it, and the faster He can become stronger.

The newborn world trembled, and the previously separated heaven and earth seemed to have reached their limit and stopped rising.

Moreover, it seemed as if there was a pull between heaven and earth; after being separated to a certain extent, they even showed signs of healing again.

"boom!"

Fortunately, at this moment, the Yin-Yang sacred power completed its evolution, transforming into the omnipresent Yin-Yang principles, which prevented the descent of heaven and earth.

It's like two magnets drawn together, with a wad of cotton stuffed inside. While it can't stop them from closing, it does slow down the process.

"upbraid!"

The divine being roared again, this time the Dao Palace transformed into the purest profound meaning and fell into the new world.

The Five Elements theory is endless, with each element mutually restraining the others, and it is infinite and without end.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

The five great paths spread to every corner of the new world, and the world that was constantly closing in was blocked and could no longer get close.

The Yin-Yang Dao and the Five Elements Dao are the fundamental Daos necessary for the operation of Heaven and Earth.

Now, the new world possesses the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and can be considered to have taken initial shape.

"boom!"

The divine being did not stop, but continued to move his arms. The profound meaning of the four poles emerged, and four towering divine pillars appeared, spreading across the four poles of heaven and earth, constantly pushing heaven and earth apart and making them move further away from each other.

It wasn't until it reached a height of 129,600,000 zhang that the four divine pillars finally ran out of steam and stopped.

"upbraid!"

Seeing that the distance between heaven and earth was far enough, the divine being waved his hands, and the four divine pillars shook violently, suppressing the four forces of earth, water, fire and wind, further stabilizing the stability of heaven and earth.

Then, the true meaning of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the bridge connecting the five major realms, plays a crucial role in linking the past and the future.

"boom!"

The earth shook violently, and a majestic and boundless divine mountain rose from the ground, standing tall between heaven and earth, even higher than the four cardinal directions, its top completely invisible when one looked up.

This is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. If there are truly living beings in this world, then theoretically, one can climb this mountain, go to the deepest part of the sky's dome, and reach the unexplored chaotic region.

From then on, four of the five secret realms had been transformed into this world.

The divine being's chest heaved, and large beads of sweat continuously slid down his face; the creation of heaven and earth had taken a tremendous toll on him.

But we can't stop now. We have to keep going and finish what we start, or this whole world will collapse and all our previous efforts will be in vain.

Moreover, the five secret realms will also be severely damaged after this ordeal; even if they don't die, they won't be in much better shape.

"Finally, Sendai was transformed into an altar to suppress the boundless chaos!"

On the path to immortality, Li Yao's entire body was engulfed in divine flames. Four of the five great secret realms had already disappeared, and his immense cultivation had lost its source, like a rootless duckweed, and began to boil.

In the past, with the five great secret realms suppressing him, this little problem would not have been worth worrying about at all.

But things are different now. If things go wrong, even if you don't die, you'll suffer a severe and irreparable injury.

Li Yao dared not be careless in the slightest. He was in perfect harmony with the divine being, and the Immortal Golden Furnace and the Stone Furnace resonated together, suppressing his own body and continuing the final step of evolution.

"boom!"

The forbidden zone of the gods, the last secret realm, is the location of the brain.

This place is an absolute weakness, even for a supreme being. If the Immortal Platform is shattered, at best the Great Dao will be damaged, and at worst, death will result!
The towering platform trembled, detached from its original position, and began to sink downwards.

"Crack!"

Almost simultaneously, Li Yao's body cracked, all five secret realms were lost, and his terrifying divine power completely went out of control.

"Hurry, hurry up!" Blood spilled from Li Yao's mouth, fragments of his internal organs flowed out with the blood, and his face was extremely ferocious.

The secret of the character "者" and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique were all operating at overload, just to stabilize their own state.

Fortunately, this is the Immortal Path, shrouded by the laws of immortality, so the fluctuations cannot spread out. Otherwise, the Undying Emperor would definitely have been able to sense the aura of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique.

Of course, even outside, at such a critical juncture, Li Yao had to use the True Phoenix Treasure Technique. He couldn't risk his life just because he was afraid of the Undying Emperor.

This time it was quite a coincidence. When a divine being will be born is not up to Li Yao to decide, and the terrain of the Path to Immortality is the best choice.
