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

Chapter 130 True Dragon Elixir
The great holy masters remained unmoved, none of them descending, including the divine monks of the Western Desert and the demon kings of the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor Palace.

The supreme elders of various sects mobilized and jumped down, along with some powerful rogue cultivators and some extraordinary individuals.

Li Yao stood with his arms crossed, remaining calm and composed. He planned to wait for the scouts to come up and confirm that it was safe before heading out with the main force.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, someone rushed up, extremely excited, to report to the Holy Lords.

"There really is an ancient dragon's nest below, a place where immortals are buried, and there is also an ancient five-colored altar."

"what?!"

At this point, neither the holy lords nor the supreme religious leaders could remain calm; all of them were unable to stay still, and the divine monks from the Western Desert began chanting Buddhist mantras.

"Our initial assessment is that there is a peerless treasure. We have detected the aura of a divine medicine, but the Dragon Nest Ancient Cave is sealed by a stone gate, making it impossible to enter."

A dozen or so people flew up and reported the situation one after another, all of them extremely excited.

"A burial ground for immortals!"

"A divine treasure only found in mythology!"

Now that things have come to this, no one can remain calm. It concerns both the divine medicine and the lair of the true dragon; who can be indifferent?

Above the abyss, all the Holy Lords and the Supreme Master vanished in a flash, rushing down; even they couldn't resist making a move.

Li Yao and Li Daoqing exchanged a glance, then followed behind the Holy Lords and the Supreme Master, heading down into the abyss together.

The dragon energy surged and swelled like a tidal wave. As it descended, it encountered great resistance. Li Yao's spine glowed, absorbing the vast dragon energy to temper his human body into a great dragon.

Although Li Yao had already refined the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm to its limit, it could still absorb dragon energy to enhance its foundation.

The deeper they went, the darker it became, until finally they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces. Fortunately, their spiritual senses were very strong, and they could perceive the surrounding scenery.

"This abyss was created by humans!"

There were obvious knife and axe marks on the abyss wall. Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked. Who would dare to dig up the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest?
It is obvious that the Dragon Nest was hidden underground and was only discovered after being excavated.

Halfway there, they encountered the Ice Palace, which was sparkling and shimmering.

Every so often, the ice palace would be swept up by the surging dragon energy, rising and falling.

The woman in the ice palace was crystal clear, with jet-black hair, and looked extremely serene. She was absolutely stunning and it was hard to imagine that she was a female saint.

The abyss is tens of thousands of meters deep. When you land on the ground, an ancient and desolate atmosphere washes over you, as if you have returned to the Primordial Era.

The terrain was incredibly vast, yet also very dark. Looking around, it was completely empty, not at all like an underground place, but more like an ancient battlefield.

Many people stood before the dilapidated five-colored altar, watching intently, while even more rushed into the Dragon Nest, where the dragon energy surged like a great river, ceaselessly flowing.

Li Yao followed the main group towards the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, where the dragon energy surged like a river, and nine large dragons coiled around it, as if they were alive.

Ahead, there are nine large holes lined up in a row, shimmering with light, from which billowing dragon energy is emanating.

Everyone traveled for more than ten miles under the influence of the dragon's aura, and came to a place full of stone caves, shaped like a honeycomb, and was immediately stunned.

All nine largest dragon caves lead forward to a huge lair. From afar, it radiates divine light, and there must be an astonishing divine source inside.

There is no doubt that it is the nest of ten thousand dragons!

Although they were still several miles apart, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, vaguely seeing divine source blocks floating inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, seemingly containing a creature!

"There are creatures within the divine source! Could this be the residence of an ancient royal family?!"

Everyone was stunned. Only these powerful forces understood the strength and terror of the ancient creatures, let alone their royal family, who were simply incomparable.

"There are ancient royal families here. The Underworld Palace must have been created by people with the blood of ancient creatures flowing through their veins, to protect this place."

"It seems that the invincible god-king of the Jiang family is here to eliminate the hidden dangers threatening the human race?"

Everyone was stunned. Thinking of the ancient royal family underground, the power of the Underworld Palace was now questionable. Back then, the God King of the Jiang family must have discovered that the Underworld Palace possessed the blood of ancient creatures, which is why he used the Hengyu Divine Furnace to destroy this ancient holy land.

Upon discovering ancient creatures within the Dragon Nest, some hesitated and chose to leave the underground palace, while others chose to continue forward in order to obtain the divine treasures within.

None of the holy lands retreated. They had ruled the boundless land for at least tens of thousands of years. They were wary of the ancient creatures, but not truly afraid of them.

Li Yao naturally didn't have any either. Within the Myriad Dragon Nest, whether it was the True Dragon Divine Medicine or the Primordial Human Demon, they were all opportunities that he absolutely could not miss.

The former relates to the evolution of the Heavenly Book and the True Dragon Treasure Technique, while the latter, possessing the two ancient scriptures of Taiyin and Taiyang, is of self-evident importance to him.

It can be said that the Dragon Nest is a turning point for him, concerning his future path. On this trip, there are two things he must do: first, the True Dragon Divine Medicine; if that is not possible, then the Human Demon should not be missed.

Finally, everyone entered the nine ancient caves, which were like a honeycomb, with many interconnected caves leading to the deepest part.

At the end, a huge stone gate blocked the way, with many ancient characters carved on it that were completely unrecognizable because they were not written in human script.

At a glance, one can see that this gate is extremely extraordinary, with the aura of the Great Dao emanating from it. In particular, the ancient characters seem to have been branded by a sacred weapon and possess their own life.

"boom!"

Someone started breaking down the door, trying to open it and enter the Dragon Nest. The noise was deafening!
A powerful leader of a supreme sect personally intervened, shattering the rocks inside the ancient cave, but the stone door remained completely unmoved.

The ancient characters above seem to have come back to life, like small dragons crawling, exuding an aura of timelessness.

Seeing this, the other powerful rulers also joined in the attack.

"boom!"

Many powerful rulers joined forces to break the restrictions and try to open the stone gate, but they still could not budge it; it did not even shake once.

Li Yao took the lead, and the Yao Guang members silently retreated. Even Li Daoqing did the same, not letting the divine treasure cloud their judgment.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the enormous stone door that all the holy lords had tried their best to keep still opened, and an incredibly terrifying aura surged forth!
"what……"

A large hand reached out and ripped the head off of one of the Supreme Elders of Wan Chu. Flesh and blood splattered as a bloodcurdling scream rang out.

"puff"

Another large hand pierced directly into the chest and abdomen of a Supreme Elder in the Purple Mansion, pulling out his internal organs in one swift motion.

Blood gushed out, and entrails, a mottled mix of colors, spilled all over the ground, a horrifying sight.

All of this happened so fast, beyond people's imagination!

Two terrifying creatures, like demons from hell, stood before the massive stone gate, unleashing their deadly intent, mercilessly slaughtering their prey.

"Ancient creatures, the realm of true demons!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Two terrifying creatures, with the lower bodies of long snakes, seven or eight meters long, and the upper bodies of humans, but with three heads and six arms.

They unleashed their True Demon Domain, freezing the five or six Supreme Elders in front of the stone gate in place. None of them were able to escape and were all cleaved in two!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, sensing that something terrible was about to happen; it was as if they had opened the gates of hell and unleashed a terrifying demon.

This is the slumbering place of ancient creatures. If an ancient king were to emerge, it would be a catastrophe!

Everyone quickly retreated, wanting to get out of the area first, not intending to fight the two ancient creatures, for fear that more ancient creatures would awaken.

A burst of intense divine light appeared, cutting off their retreat. A golden creature, half-human and half-demon, then appeared.

This creature was more powerful and extremely terrifying, but while everyone was lamenting their plight, they were also somewhat relieved that it was not a humanoid ancient creature.

If such a being were to appear, most people would be wiped out here!
"Kill!" Everyone attacked in unison, and many powerful figures joined forces to fight. However, the appearance of the ancient creatures was very strange, with more than a dozen appearing out of thin air.

"Roar……"

At the same time, a terrifying roar came from within the Dragon Nest, and people were shocked to discover the scene inside, all of them feeling a chill run down their spines.

A huge block of divine source material was floating, nearly three meters long. This was a priceless treasure. No one had ever seen such a large block of divine source material. Inside it was a humanoid creature!

Moreover, there is not just one large divine source block. The Myriad Dragon Nest is very large, filled with an ancient and vicissitudes aura, with endless divine radiance, and there are other divine source blocks as well.

"brush!"

A divine light flashed, like lightning, and then more than twenty ancient creatures appeared out of thin air, blocking their path and creating an extremely dangerous situation.

"That is..." At this moment, everyone trembled, as if the end of the world had come, upon seeing another thing inside the Dragon Nest.

An ancient coffin floated in the pile of divine energy, giving people a suffocating feeling, as if the flesh and bones were about to crack open. It was an extremely terrifying pressure!

The pile of divine source fragments was two or three cubic meters in size, enough to submerge the ancient coffin; it was both terrifying and eerie.

"What's that?" someone asked in surprise, pointing to the ancient coffin.

Beside the ancient coffin stood a divine plant, surrounded by the aura of ten thousand dragons. This divine herb was dazzling, its entire body golden, and it was over a foot tall with nine leaves.

Each leaf is like a golden cloud, beautiful and dazzling, yet somewhat ethereal.

At the top of this ancient magical medicine, there is a golden fruit. Its shape is very special. It is a golden dragon as long as a palm. It is crystal clear and lifelike, as if it has life.

In the mouth of the little golden dragon, there was a golden bead, its light shimmering, sparkling and dazzling.

It was surrounded by the aura of ten thousand dragons, its gold and crystal shimmering simultaneously, and its fragrance almost made people drunk and feel like they were floating on air.

"Ancient True Dragon Divine Medicine!" exclaimed a living fossil in shock, his eyes turning red.

A complete divine herb, even bearing fruit, is an astonishing treasure that could allow a great emperor to live a second life!

No one could remain calm; even with the ancient creatures before them, they couldn't resist rushing forward to seize the True Dragon Elixir.

"Ow..."

An ancient creature pounced, its nine-layered True Demon Domain proving ineffective, immobilizing the two half-step Great Powers, its large, gleaming claws reaching out.

"call out!"

The terrifying ancient creature pried open the skull of a half-step great power, and then, as if drinking tofu pudding, absorbed his brain matter in one gulp.

"puff"

Blood gushed out as the ancient creature tore another half-step powerful being in two, then grabbed a bloody arm and shoved it into its mouth.

"Crack!"

The sound of teeth grinding against flesh and bones was chilling, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as flesh and bones were chewed to pieces.

"boom!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family arrived from the sky, as transcendent as a god. His long robes fluttered, his black hair danced, his eyes were sharp, and an ancient mirror floated above his head, radiating brilliant light and shooting out a dazzling divine rainbow towards the terrifying creature.

"Ow..."

The ancient creature dropped its bloodied arm, roared, and shot two beams of purple light from its eyes toward the ancient mirror, intense and terrifying.

"puff"

Blood splattered as the divine light from the ancient mirror pierced through the primordial creature, tearing it to pieces. Its massive body gushed blood as it lay dead on the ground.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family stood in the void, an ancient mirror floating above his head, exuding divine might, his black hair dancing wildly, and his eyes flashing like lightning, captivating and awe-inspiring.

This is the ultimate holy master; once he unleashes his fury, killing ordinary powerful beings is incredibly easy for him.

With a loud roar, another ancient creature pounced. Its lower body was that of a snake, covered in purple scales, while its upper body was that of a human with three heads and six arms. It shook its six arms, shattering the void and creating a black hole, intending to devour the Holy Lord of the Ji family.

"boom"

A giant foot stepped into the black hole, shattering it and causing it to disappear into the air. The Holy Lord of the Ji family, with his black hair flying, reached out and smashed the ancient creature into pieces, splattering blood everywhere.

"This is the ultimate Holy Lord. He can destroy ordinary powerful beings with ease. Although they are in the same secret realm, there is a world of difference between them!" Even Li Yao couldn't help but sigh.

"what……"

On the other side, some Supreme Elders tried to rush into the Dragon Nest, but were brutally killed by more than a dozen Primordial Creatures. Blood splattered everywhere, and their white bones were exposed.

Many people were brutally beaten to a pulp, with bone fragments and brains splattered everywhere. It was a scene of carnage, extremely bloody and terrifying.

"boom!"

The divine fire blazed brilliantly, pouring down and engulfing the road ahead. The Holy Lord of the Jiang Clan intervened, suspending a divine furnace above his head. The lid opened, and flames fell like a galaxy.

Several powerful ancient creatures screamed in agony. Two of them were burned to ashes, while the other three, enveloped in divine light, had their bodies crack and died in the passage.

Just then, Li Yao and Li Daoqing moved together, their figures as swift as lightning, rushing towards the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

With such a treasure as the True Dragon Medicine right in front of them, let alone ancient creatures, even humanoid ancient creatures would try to snatch it.

While the true bigwigs of Wanlong Nest are still asleep, there might still be a chance to make a gamble.

"boom!"

Li Yao and Li Daoqing attacked together, unleashing a dazzling holy light spell that surged forward.

"Pfft!"

The three ancient creatures exploded, but their remains were burned to ashes by the Holy Light spell. This was the first time Li Yao had publicly displayed his divine power since breaking through to the Sendai realm, leaving countless people deeply shocked.

This is no longer within the realm of the first level of the Sendai realm, but rather comparable to a great power. At less than twenty years old, he has surpassed many of the older generation present and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Holy Lord.

At this point, there were no obstacles ahead. Whoever rushed into the Dragon Nest first would have a great chance of obtaining the True Dragon Elixir.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful being emerged from the Dragon Nest and blocked their path.

He was as majestic as a god, shrouded in a divine halo. His long purple hair covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of sharp purple eyes that were as sharp as knives.

He had no arms, only a pair of golden divine wings, as if cast from divine metal. His lower body was that of a snake, over ten meters long, with shimmering golden scales. He flew through the air, faster than lightning.

"Roar!"

With just a roar, this ancient creature caused even a supreme elder to explode, with blood gushing everywhere.

His aura was extremely frightening; even when several elders joined forces to resist him, they were all unable to move.

"boom!"

He shot forward like lightning, his divine flames raging. The several Supreme Elders instantly shattered, turning into blood and gore, and perished on the spot.

"Humph!"

The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan made his move, his eyes were icy cold, his black hair was disheveled, and his majestic body exuded endless killing intent. A Bagua diagram hung above his head, pressing down on him.
