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

Chapter 120 The Might of the Sacred Weapon (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the endless mountains, the atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to breathe. The old Peng King was invincible in the Eastern Wilderness, and even the Holy Lords had to treat him with utmost respect.

After the battle between Xia Mingxiao and the Golden-Winged Roc King, no one doubted Dong Yaoguang's strength anymore; he was undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness.

With these two figures facing off, logically speaking, no one would side with Li Yao. Admittedly, his talent is terrifyingly strong, and he has the potential to become emperor, but at present, he is still too young, not even twenty years old.

The gap between him and the old Peng King was incredibly vast, but at this moment, no one thought that Li Yao was ignorant of his own limitations.

Even the old Peng King himself did not underestimate him, but asked seriously, "Dong Yaoguang wants to compete with me, but it may be too early now. He should cultivate for a few more years."

Li Daoqing moved swiftly and went straight to Li Yao's side, staring directly at Old Peng King. Compared to Xia Mingxiao, Li Yao was clearly his precious darling, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest harm to him.

“Old King Peng, as a senior, if you wish to fight, I will accompany you.” Li Daoqing’s body burst forth with intense light.

"Speak, what do you want?" Old Peng King's tone was icy, indicating he had no intention of actually fighting the Yao Guang Holy Land.

In the midst of a major battle among the younger generation, his act of stepping forward to save people was already unreasonable, and now he can only admit defeat.

"I am very interested in the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique. Would the Old Roc King be willing to part with it so that I can witness it?" Li Yao said to the Old Roc King, making a startling statement.

Everyone was stunned. To ask for someone else's legendary sacred technique so readily—wasn't that a bit too arrogant?

Li Daoqing was shocked. If anyone dared to ask for the Yao Guang Jing, there was nothing more to say; war would probably break out immediately.

If someone were to thoroughly understand the Daoist arts, their strength would be reduced by 30% in the next battle. This would be absolutely unacceptable to anyone.

"Impossible. The Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique is the fundamental sacred technique passed down through our bloodline. It will not be revealed to outsiders." The old Roc King refused directly, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Heh." Li Yao's lips curled up and he sneered, "The Golden-Winged Roc King is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He has provoked my Yao Guang Holy Land time and time again. When he fought me, it was you, Old Roc King, who interfered. Now, you've interfered again. The Great Emperor qualification battle is a life-or-death battle. Don't you think it's going too far, Old Roc King, to interfere so many times?"

"You want the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique? Don't even think about it. At worst, you'll die. Just kill me!" The Golden-Winged Roc King roared with divine sense, his tone very defiant.

He was arrogant, but not stupid. He knew that he was putting the old Peng King in a difficult position, so he might as well just die.

"Brother Xiaopeng, don't be so impulsive. You have good talent, better than the other holy sons like Zifu, Wanchu, and Dayan over there. As long as you don't suffer a complete collapse this time, once the suppression of heaven and earth disappears, although the Great Emperor Realm is wishful thinking, there is still a good chance of restoring the glory of our ancestors. It would be a pity if you died now," Li Yao said with a light laugh.

"Stop trying to seduce me! Death is nothing to me. I am not afraid of it. At worst, I will just die!" Little Peng King roared with his divine sense, wanting to die.

"Old Peng King, make your decision. Although you dominate the Eastern Wilderness, it doesn't mean you're invincible." Li Yao ignored the young Peng King and looked at the old Peng King instead.

"I want to leave, and you can't stop me. You can only let me go." Old Peng King's golden hair danced wildly, exuding an air of dominance.

The Tianpeng clan possesses extreme speed, a natural talent of their bloodline. Even Li Daoqing would never be able to stop him; this is the confidence of the old Peng King.

"Then give it a try." Li Yao's eyes darted around. He was also very confident in his speed. Even now, with the Xingzi Secret activated, even the old Peng King was far slower than him.

"Let me comprehend the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique to offset your two attacks, Old Roc King. Otherwise, your lineage will most likely be wiped out." He was not joking when he issued the threat.

"Hahaha." A clear laugh came from the sky, where a five-colored divine light shot straight into the heavens, and a figure strolled on the horizon at an extremely fast speed.

He was a boy of sixteen or seventeen, somewhat thin and frail, with delicate features, clear and bright eyes as pure as lake water, and soft, light black hair.

This young man is like a clear spring in the deep mountains, giving people a refreshing feeling and a natural flavor.

But at this moment, he strolled across the sky, each step he took seemed to tread on the veins of the Great Dao, his cultivation was terrifyingly powerful.

"I have been in seclusion for eight hundred years. Today I have emerged from seclusion and heard many things. The young powerhouses of this generation are truly astonishing. But with your current cultivation level, isn't it a bit too early for you to be so arrogant?"

The handsome young man quickly entered the arena, speaking calmly with a hint of a smile.

"My God, it's him... the Peacock King!"

"He has reappeared in this world; he has not passed away in the passage of time!"

"The demon race has produced another peerless demon king, and the Eastern Wilderness will be shaken!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, looking at the handsome young man in the arena as if they were seeing an unparalleled demon lord.

Who is the Peacock King? He is a powerful figure among the demon race. Eight hundred years ago, he dominated the Southern Region and was invincible. After many years of silence, everyone thought he had passed away and did not want to reappear.

At this moment, people are talking about things that happened eight hundred years ago, and gradually they are being told about them.

The past events and a series of achievements are astonishing. Since his debut, the Peacock King has never been defeated in the Eastern Wilderness, making him an unparalleled demon king.

It can be said that eight hundred years ago, its glorious achievements were countless, many of which were astonishing and awe-inspiring.

Looking back, people discovered that the Peacock King was indeed remarkable. Killing the supreme elders of super-powerful forces was commonplace for him. Eight hundred years ago, he had already killed two famous figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Back then, it caused a huge uproar, and he was hunted down by the Yao Guang Holy Land for fifty years, but they were unable to kill him.

In that era, he experienced countless battles, and it can be said that he was a deterrent to the Eastern Wilderness. Among them, the most influential battle was the duel with the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, which attracted worldwide attention. That battle was earth-shattering, and the sun and moon were dimmed.

The Peacock King and the Holy Lord of Yao Guang fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and the final result was a draw. Although it was a draw, it was enough to make them look down on the world, after all, the Lord of the Holy Land was the most noble person in the Eastern Wilderness.

He then fled far away, and it was that battle that truly established his unparalleled fame, earning him the title of peerless demon king!
Li Daoqing became serious. The person in front of him was an old rival. He knew very well how powerful the opponent was. After being dormant for eight hundred years, his combat power must have reached a new level.

Now that the golden age is about to begin, the commotion caused by Li Yao has brought many people together, and one move has far-reaching consequences. This has resulted in the Peacock King emerging from seclusion almost two or three years earlier than in the original story.

He appears as a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen, but no one dares to underestimate him, because his past achievements have proven his strength.

"Old Peng King broke the rules and interfered in the battle of the younger generation. Even so, Peacock King is still going to get involved in this mess." Li Yao looked at Peacock King with neither arrogance nor servility, showing no fear of his powerful strength.

Since he dared to stand up and confront Old Peng King directly, he must have some trump cards up his sleeve. Having another top expert doesn't make much difference to him.

The Peacock King stood quietly in front, his soft black hair swaying gently, his eyes crystal clear, looking at Li Yao and saying, "Aren't these kinds of things common? If your human race's prodigies are defeated, won't the people behind them step in?"

"I can't control what others do, but this matter involves me, so it can't just be left like this. I'll ask you one more time, are you really going to get involved?" Li Yao's eyes turned cold as he directly questioned a supreme expert, displaying utter domineering power.

“Eight hundred years ago, I was not afraid of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and now it is the same. If you want to fight, then fight!” The Peacock King stood with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere on this land became even more tense. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Could it be that the Eastern Wilderness, which had been peaceful for so long, was really about to erupt into a great war?

Such figures, standing at the pinnacle, wield unimaginable influence. Their every word and action is scrutinized and perceived as conveying a signal, with far-reaching consequences.

Does this mean the demon race is going to start a war with the human race?
Different people interpreted it differently, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The other demon kings were all surging with power. At this point, it was no longer a personal matter. If a battle were to break out, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

Azure Dragon King, Blazing Bull King, Sky-Splitting King, and others appeared, faintly standing together with Peacock King and Old Roc King.

"Everyone, please calm down. If a major war really breaks out, the Eastern Wilderness will surely be devastated, with blood flowing like rivers. It will not be a good thing for either side," someone from Yaochi advised.

This is a beautiful woman in her thirties, with a dignified and graceful appearance, a peaceful demeanor, and an elegant and generous air. Her black hair dances lightly, a red dot is placed between her eyebrows, and her eyes are like water, making people feel very close to her.

This person is none other than the Queen Mother, who governs the Yaochi Holy Land and is one of the most important figures in the boundless Eastern Wilderness.

Yaochi is adjacent to the Holy City, very close by. Such a major clash here naturally cannot be ignored. If the two sides were to engage in a full-scale battle, it would inevitably affect the surrounding areas of the Yaochi Holy Land.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi holds a special position. Although she is the lord of a sacred land, she has always remained neutral since the founding of Yaochi and has never participated in the struggle.

Moreover, Yaochi holds a Peach Banquet every so often, and everyone present is someone who has been invited and has some goodwill towards Yaochi. When the Queen Mother steps forward, everyone will give her face.

"I just want an explanation. This matter was originally in the wrong of Old Peng King. Shouldn't our Yao Guang Holy Land settle accounts afterward?" Li Yaoju argued.

He had no choice but to do this. The last time he clashed with the Golden-Winged Roc King, the opponent's cultivation was insufficient, and he failed to unleash the essence of the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique.

But this time, the Golden-Winged Roc King unleashed its Dragon-Fighting Technique once again, allowing Li Yao to glimpse a trace of the true dragon's essence.

It was very shallow, almost negligible to the point of being nonexistent. If he hadn't possessed the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, he certainly wouldn't have been able to detect that fluctuation.

The Tianpeng clan inherits the bloodline of the ancient Tianpeng. This clan was a renowned clan in the Chaotic Ancient Era and even the Immortal Ancient Era, with a continuous line of True Immortals.

Unlike humans, demons constantly awaken their ancestral bloodlines during their cultivation.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there must have been a Heavenly Roc who awakened a trace of the bloodline of the Immortal Ancient Heavenly Roc, glimpsed the scene of his ancestor's great battle with the True Dragon, and thus created the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Fighting Technique.

Li Yao wanted to obtain this technique so that he could comprehend the true essence of the dragon and cultivate his own dragon transformation realm. If he succeeded, his combat power would undergo a tremendous change, with endless wonders.

Actually, he had an even better option: the True Dragon Elixir in the Dragon Nest. However, that place was too dangerous; otherwise, he would have gone there long ago.

"Even so, it's a bit much for you to start by stealing someone else's legendary sacred technique." The Peacock King's eyes were clear as water, like those of an innocent young man, as he quietly looked at Li Yao.

Although the Queen Mother of Yaochi did not show it on her face, she did not agree with Li Yao's actions. The sacred arts passed down through generations are about inheritance, and it was indeed a bit too much to take away someone else's magic.

"Then let's fight. He shouldn't have interfered in the first place. Since he has, I, Yao Guang, certainly can't let this go."

Just when Li Yao was about to give up, Li Daoqing stepped forward to support his holy son and declared that he was ready for a great battle.

At this moment, fifty ancient bronze chariots swept across the sky with a deafening roar, as massive as a tsunami, seemingly crushing the heavens. As their wheels rolled, the chariots rose into the sky.

Behind the ancient chariot, dozens of divine rainbows soared through the air. These people were all highly skilled, but they were only guarding twelve special chariots.

The cry of the phoenix resounded through the sky. Nine strange birds, their feathers extremely colorful and shimmering with divine light, rose into the sky, each with a body of five colors and a length of tens of meters, just like the legendary phoenix. They pulled twelve five-colored divine chariots.

"It is the Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun Chariot of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and it is the highest-grade Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun Chariot, which only powerful beings can ride!"

"My God, twelve powerful beings! Are they really preparing to go to war with the demon race!"

"The Yao Guang Holy Land is one of the strongest holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness. If it were to go to war with the demon race, the other holy lands would likely not be spared either!"

Everyone was horrified. This was a major event that could affect the entire Eastern Wilderness. If war broke out, there would surely be rivers of blood and countless lives lost.

"Brother Dao, calm down. Once the great battle begins, it will involve far too many people," the Queen Mother advised.

"Fellow Daoist should have seen it; it wasn't us who broke the rules, but Peng King," Li Daoqing said calmly.

“But you openly claim to be stealing sacred techniques. In the future, if the younger generation loses a competition, won’t you be able to arbitrarily steal someone’s inheritance? Does your family have a number one young person?” The Azure Dragon King stepped forward, pointing out his own weakness.

The saying "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" applies to everyone. Today, Li Yao seizes the sacred technique of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, but tomorrow it could belong to anyone.

Upon hearing this, all the holy lands paused, realizing that such a possibility was not out of the question. Dong Yaoguang's strength was undeniable, and if he were to actually do this in the future, it would indeed be a troublesome matter.

"Haha, since you're all reacting so strongly, then I don't need any sacred arts. I want his life as the price for breaking the rules, so you won't be like frightened birds. If any demon dares to obstruct me, I will kill them all!"

Li Yao didn't want to drag this out any longer; this pointless standoff was making him feel annoyed.

"boom!"

As dawn broke, a magnificent sun rose on the horizon, its golden rays illuminating the entire heavens and unleashing boundless power.

This is Li Yao's extraordinary phenomenon, which has now reached a high level and is even comparable to the extraordinary phenomena of ancient great beings.

Of course, if it were just an unusual phenomenon, it certainly wouldn't be enough to defeat the Old Peng King. What's truly terrifying is the golden wheel that floats and sinks within the great sun.

The golden wheel resembles the sun, and when combined with other extraordinary phenomena, the two complement each other and shine together!

The great sun, a golden wheel, hangs high in the sky, emanating an aura that instills fear in all living beings.

The void collapsed, and the mighty Great Sun Golden Wheel descended, unleashing beams of golden light, each one incredibly powerful.

"Bang!" "Bang!"...

Countless mountains exploded open, as fragile as bubbles, the earth cracked continuously, and huge streams of lava shot into the sky, covering the land.

This scene was incredibly shocking; it was practically a scene of world destruction.

"A legendary holy weapon!" The pupils of the powerful figures suddenly contracted, and they immediately moved away as if they had seen a ferocious beast, not daring to approach the place at all.

At this moment, everyone was horrified. No matter how high and mighty they usually were, in the face of legendary holy weapons, all beings were equal, and they were no more noble than the cultivators of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

The demon kings' expressions changed drastically as they all felt the threat of annihilation. Even as powerful beings, they could not remain calm and swayed as they fell to the ground.

Li Yao used the secret technique of the character "兵" (soldier) to activate the legendary holy weapon, and the Great Sun Golden Wheel began to revive, showing signs of unleashing a holy attack.

During his seclusion, he entered the realm of creation and comprehended the secret of the military, which greatly enhanced his mastery of this secret.

The result was that even with his cultivation at the Dragon Transformation Realm, he was able to unleash a portion of his power and deliver a Saintly Path strike!
This was his trump card; he wasn't afraid of the demon kings at all.

The enhancement of combat power by weapons is not restricted by the Eight Forbidden Domains; it depends entirely on the power of the weapon. The "Weapon" Secret can greatly increase a cultivator's control over weapons.

In the past, the same amount of divine power could only unleash 10% of the power of a sacred weapon, but now it can unleash at least 30%, a difference that is not insignificant!
This is why Li Yao felt that the "Soldier's Secret" was the most powerful secret technique for him at present, because it was practically tailor-made for him to kill enemies across multiple realms.

Although with his current cultivation level, he would be completely exhausted after delivering just one strike, that one strike was enough to kill a group of powerful figures!
All the demon kings changed color. They truly felt their lives were threatened. Even powerful figures like the Peacock King and the Golden-Winged Roc King felt the same way. Under the influence of sacred weapons, everything was in vain.

"Buzz!"

The Great Sun Golden Wheel trembled, and a holy might spread. Everyone present seemed to be frozen in place, their bodies cracking and groaning as if their bones could not bear the weight.

"boom"

At that moment, an overwhelming aura of sainthood surged forth, freezing the heavens and earth. The clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing a crack that allowed the surging saintly power to reach beyond the realm.

Then, with a loud bang, a large star was cut down, turned into dust, and disappeared into the starry sky.
