In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

"I give up!"

These words immediately caused a huge uproar, causing the disciples and elders who had come specifically to watch the drama to gasp in shock.

Who exactly is this person? Their true form remains hidden; they are merely a character imbued with the intent of a killing sword, yet they have forced the candidate for sainthood to admit defeat.

They didn't even have the courage to use their own weapons.

Zhang Hengtao was drenched in cold sweat, his face deathly pale. He looked helplessly at Elder Zhou and said, "Elder Zhou, who is playing a joke on me? I don't even have the courage to shoot an arrow."

Elder Zhou remained unfazed and said indifferently, "Are you really admitting defeat?"

"This disciple concedes defeat."

"From this day forward, Zhang Hengtao is demoted to a true disciple, and Lü Yao is promoted to a candidate for holy son."

Elder Zhou announced the news to everyone, and the entire Dragon Head Peak could hear it. Soon after, a special disciple went to the main peak, Yaoguang Peak, to inform and register the news.

This is a complete and ancient sacred site, not a random force set up by the roadside; it has its own set of rules.

Zhang Hengtao lost without even making a single move, or even seeing the opponent, which was truly humiliating.

He returned to his palace without a word, closed the doors, and refused to see any guests.

However, he did not intend to become a true disciple; instead, he planned to go to another branch to choose a candidate for holy son and reclaim his status.

The Dayanfeng lineage is quite good.

Just then, the characters in the void withdrew their killing intent, gradually becoming ethereal and disappearing from the scene.

When Elder Zhou saw the characters disappear, he knew it was Lü Yao's doing. He could only sigh inwardly before his figure vanished from the spot.

Outside the main hall of Dragon Head Peak, the peak master stood with his hands behind his back, his beard and eyebrows were all black, and there was a dark purple line between his eyebrows.

The character just now grew larger, and its murderous aura swept across the sky, even visible from here.

Lu Yao stood behind him, leaning against the door frame, closing his eyes to adjust his state.

Will you defeat the enemy with a single finger strike? Or will you injure them by reflecting the Yin-Yang symbol back at them?

So, isn't the Holy Son of Yaoguang one of the Four Extremes?

The Holy Son of Yaoguang was extremely well hidden in the original work, and in the early stages, no one knew what realm he was in.

Later, he fought Master Ye to a standstill with his incomplete Chaos Body, which shows his terrifying talent.

Although the peak master said he was at the third level of the fourth realm, what if he actually broke through to the fourth realm?

What if he has already made great progress on the path to transforming into a Chaotic Body? Who knows if he has encountered any other extraordinary events besides the Undying Heavenly Art?

I hate people who are secretive and secretive.

The flamboyant Ji family divine body is more endearing; it's almost entirely without guile, baring its teeth and claws as it charges at the demon princess.

Elder Zhou has returned, but he is alone; there are no other potential Holy Sons by his side.

"Peak Master, Zhang Hengtao has been defeated."

Lost?

The Dragon Head Peak Master was surprised. Could the candidate for Holy Son be this weak? He glanced at Lü Yao, who was resting with his eyes closed behind him.

"The killing intent within that character was extremely powerful after it erupted, even stronger than what the Peak Master had seen."

Elder Zhou said this, he hadn't expected it to be like this, the candidate holy son didn't even have the courage to make a move.

If the secret technique he had used to roll up his sleeves earlier had been of that intensity, his clothes would probably have been torn to shreds on the spot.

This demonstrates that Lü Yao's control over the secret techniques reached a terrifying level.

"Shall I issue a challenge to Yaoguang now?"

Lu Yao heard their conversation and opened his eyes.

Yao Guang, the Holy Son's real name.

With only one character difference between Yao Guang and Yao Guang, coupled with the compatibility with the Undying Heavenly Art, when the Dragon Head Peak Master was traveling, he saw Yao Guang, who was still a child at the time, and felt that he was destined to be with him and the Ruthless lineage.

This is called fate.

Lü Yao directly addressed Yao Guang, but instead of calling him the Holy Son, which already showed his determination to obtain the position of Holy Son.

"Summon the Holy Son directly. I also want to see who is stronger between the two of you."

The peak master wore a black robe with gold trim on the outside and a white lining underneath, which fluttered in the mountain wind.

"Come, wait with me at the altar for the Holy Son."

After saying that, Lü Yao felt dizzy and, in the blink of an eye, he found himself on a platform that was a thousand meters square.

The stone platform was so smooth it could reflect a person's image, covered with Daoist patterns. On each of the four sides, a stone beast crouched, its fangs protruding, its head resembling a lion, its body a tiger, and its tail a dragon—clearly a strange beast.

Beside the stone beast, six black flags were planted on each side, for a total of twenty-four flags.

Lu Yao used his divine sense to perceive that the Dao patterns, stone beasts, and flags formed an array to stabilize the void and prevent divine power from leaking out and destroying the vegetation, palaces, and other structures on Dragon Head Peak.

However, Lu Yao was not proficient in formations and could not see how ingenious the formation was. What he remembered most was the cultivation level of the Dragon Head Peak Master.

As expected of a powerful being, he was confident that he would be fearless against a peak-stage Dragon Transformation cultivator and could even exchange a few blows with a half-step powerful being, but when facing a powerful being, he was like a child, powerless to fight back.

This time, the newly appointed Holy Son confronted the Dragon Head and Yao Guang, revealing that he would carry the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron with him to protect himself.

Simultaneously, the Daoist patterns at the Emperor level on the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron were studied.

Two years ago, while cultivating in Yaoguang, I inadvertently caused the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to revive. Fortunately, the Holy Land had a great formation that blocked some of the aftershocks; otherwise, the entire Eastern Wilderness would have been in complete chaos.

As for why he wasn't taken along, at that time, Lü Yao's cultivation had just reached the Dao Palace level, and a mere wisp of imperial might could have drained him dry. What use would it have been if he had been taken along? If the danger were truly extreme, he could have been summoned even from half a universe away.

Now, with the vast divine power gained from cultivating the two secret realms of Lunhai and Daogong, he barely has the ability to launch an attack, namely, to unleash a wisp of imperial might.

Awakening the Imperial Weapon is easy, even easier than the Yao Guang Saint awakening Him, but we can't let the Imperial Weapon fully revive and target the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation cultivators, can we?

Moreover, the resurrection of the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron may trigger the resurrection of other imperial weapons.

In fact, with the identity of a true disciple of Yao Guang, as long as one avoids dangerous places, there is not much danger in the Southern Region.

Especially with Elder Zhou protecting him, Elder Hualong still holds considerable prestige at this stage.

But Lü Yao met Master Ye, and with Master Ye's blessing, he was able to get rid of Elder Zhou, who harbored considerable ill will towards him.

Unexpectedly, the danger wasn't great, but there were a lot of minor troubles.

But the outcome was ultimately good. They obtained the artifact for proving their Dao and the sacred weapon. This time, they brought the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron with them, receiving the same treatment as Ji Haoyue.

Lü Yao stood on the altar, neither sad nor happy, awaiting the arrival of the contemporary holy son of Yao Guang.

But the first to arrive was Li Daoqing, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

Two girls followed behind him: Yao Xi, the saintess in a white dress, and Weiwei, the fairy with ethereal eyes, in a blue dress.

The Holy Lord arrived, and the Dragon Head Peak Master stepped forward.

"Dragon Head Peak is full of talented people. The scene of the Holy Son defeating several geniuses and taking the position of Holy Son a few years ago is still vivid in our minds. Now another monster has emerged."

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang has 108 divine rings on his body, shining with holy light, making it difficult to tell his age, but his voice doesn't seem very loud.

Longshou Peak laughed heartily: "We're all part of the Holy Land, why be so particular? Longshou Peak's strength is the Holy Land's strength. Besides, Lü Yao might not even succeed."

The Holy Lord smiled calmly: "It's already spread throughout the Holy Land that a killing intent from the sword has suppressed Zhang Hengtao, one of the top five candidates for Holy Son, so much so that he can't even draw his bowstring."

Since I happen to have some time, I've come to witness the battle between the two strongest disciples within my Yao Guang sect.

He envied such outstanding individuals, but unfortunately, both of them belonged to the same ruthless lineage. It was truly...unjust heaven.

As the two were talking, several more streaks of light descended, all of them powerful figures who had not gone into seclusion, all of them peak masters or supreme elders of various branches, all coming to witness this monstrous battle.

The news of defeating the enemy with a single word has spread throughout the entire Yao Guang Holy Land.

All I can say is that with the help of mystical arts, even the Eight Trigrams can fly much faster.

After the several powerful figures, there were countless disciples and elders. After meeting the Holy Lord and the various Supreme Lords, they either occupied a mountaintop or stood on a cloud, waiting for the show to begin.
