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

Chapter 164 Battle
"What!" Liu Yang exclaimed in surprise, looking at the strange rock called Immortal's Tomb.

Inside, there was actually the son of an ancient emperor!
"This, Holy Lord, this is a royal son of an ancient emperor. The ancient scripture he cultivates must be a royal scripture, of immeasurable value!" Liu Yang said excitedly.

“Look, he’s in a hurry again.” Li Yao glanced at Liu Yang and said softly, “I forgot to mention, he also has an invincible uncle. If that uncle were to be born, even the Yao Guang Holy Land wouldn’t be enough for him to destroy.”

"The younger brother of the Fighting Saint Emperor!" Liu Yang was shocked again.

“So don’t feel like you’ve suffered a great loss. I didn’t touch these two strange stones back then because I was afraid that the Yao Guang Holy Land would provoke such an existence,” Li Yao said.

"Yes, yes, we really shouldn't have provoked them." Liu Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, somewhat frightened.

The younger brother of an ancient emperor—what a terrifying existence he is, and what kind of figure he is. If he were to truly clash with the Yao Guang Holy Land, that holy land, which has stood in the Eastern Wilderness for hundreds of thousands of years, might really face a great calamity.

Just as the two were chatting, another incident occurred inside the stone archway.

An unparalleled sacred aura burst forth, and the immortal tomb shone with dazzling light, radiating brilliance and utter mystery.

"There really are celestial treasures in the Immortal's Tomb!" Everyone was shocked.

Liu Yang tensed up, his eyes fixed on the stone archway, where not only a dead ancient king stood, but also the son of an ancient emperor!

Even Li Yao was watching the scene closely. The reason he came to Yaoguang Stone Workshop instead of meeting up with the Jiang family was because he knew that the Holy Prince was about to be born.

As the first prince to emerge from the ancient races, and given that their cultivation levels are now comparable, if they don't fight, they may never have another chance.

At his cultivation speed, it will probably take at most a year for him to completely widen the gap, and by then, the difference between the two will be huge.

"Crack!"

Ye Fan slashed down, and the stone skin cracked and flew off the source stone.

"Wow!"

Two golden beams shot out from the source stone, plunging down like two raging flames, but they were not flames, but two divine rays shooting from eyes.

Ye Fan's pupils contracted, and he immediately retreated into the crowd, shielding everyone in front of him.

"There are creatures in the Immortal Tomb! What powerful divine eyes!"

"A celestial tomb left over from the ancient times, and there are still living beings inside. Could it be an ancient king!"

A gasp rang out, and everyone froze, as if struck by lightning, standing there dumbfounded.

One of the voices was the most abrupt, shouting, "Sun Wukong with fiery eyes?!"

The voice was abrupt, and Ye Fan immediately realized who it was. Only people on Earth knew the name Sun Wukong.

Inside the palace, Li Yao's eyes shone brightly with divine light, and almost instantly, he discerned the Holy Prince's cultivation level.

"Like me, the fifth small step in the second game of Chinese Paladin."

To be honest, Li Yao was somewhat disappointed. He longed for a great battle, but the Holy Prince, who was at the fifth minor level of the second immortal realm, clearly did not meet such requirements.

The immortal tomb shimmered with light, its cracked stone surface radiating brilliance, like the most magnificent thing in the world.

Everyone was horrified. Could it be that another ancient king had been born?

After the initial shock came endless fear, and I desperately backed away.

"Retreat quickly! The birth of a living Primordial King will surely bring boundless bloodshed!"

Many people cried out and frantically retreated outside, not daring to face such a presence up close.

"I saw it! It moved! It's coming out!"

Many people were convulsing all over, unable to move their feet at all, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them, and an unparalleled pressure was erupting.

It was an incredibly comical scene: someone's legs were weak and their hands were powerless, so they could only wriggle on the ground, trying to escape.

The ancient king was born with awe-inspiring power that shook the hearts and minds of all who beheld him, making them feel as if they were ants being watched by a true dragon.

Just then, a powerful figure from the Ji family made a move, grabbing at the Immortal Tomb with a palm, attempting to force it into the array pattern in the center.

Those were the Dao patterns they had carved for the blood sacrifice altar, but unexpectedly, the stone did not yield a living king, and a shocking accident occurred at the immortal tomb.

"puff"

The palm shattered, and a terrifying energy wave swept out. A hairy hand emerged from the immortal tomb and smashed the palm that was pressing forward.

The powerful Ji family members returned empty-handed, failing to drive the immortal tomb into the center of the array.

"Crack!"

Two large hands reached out from the immortal tomb, grabbing at the crack. With a loud bang, the immortal tomb cracked open, and a pair of arms emerged.

At the same time, the two divine rays became even more intense, and a golden light surged like a vast ocean within the Yaoguang Pavilion.

"Golden hair on its arms, what kind of monster is this?"

"Human-shaped arms, like the hands of an ape—which ancient royal family possessed these features?"

……

The crowd retreated, exclaiming in surprise. In the blink of an eye, the area was cleared. However, they did not go far but remained in the distance to observe.

The stone archways of the holy sites have explicit rules against flying, but who cares about that now? Compared to life, these are trivial matters.

"Qiang!"

When the Imperial Uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty made his move, his true dragon energy surged and transformed into nine golden divine dragons, incredibly realistic and lifelike, which immediately wrapped around the Immortal Tomb.

Nine divine dragons coiled around the immortal tomb. The Great Xia Imperial Uncle suddenly swung his hand, uprooted the immortal tomb, and slammed it into the Dao patterns, intending to teleport it into the Heavenly Prison of the Divine City.

"Buzz!"

But at that moment, the void trembled violently, and terrifying divine power erupted, causing the area to collapse.

Two beams of golden light shot out from the immortal tomb and collided with the dragon energy. The shockwave spread like a tsunami, and the golden dragon of the Nine Heavens was actually neutralized by the golden light.

"The golden light shooting out from the pupils was terrifying!"

"Is this the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye? What kind of creature is this?!"

Many of the older generation of powerful figures had a bad feeling, as the creatures in the Immortal Tomb were terrifyingly powerful.

The younger generation of powerful figures were even more solemn, especially the prince of Great Xia, who knew how formidable this great-uncle was!

"boom!"

Just then, Xu Tianxiong, the third most powerful bandit, made his move. He slammed down with a palm, and a large seal materialized between his fingers, with roaring dragons and tigers on it, its laws astonishing the world.

The great seal was as heavy as a mountain. As it slowly descended, the void continuously collapsed, as if it had transformed into a void waterfall.

"Boom!" The creature in the Immortal Tomb was very direct. Its fists, covered in golden fur, seemed to possess billions of divine powers, and it struck directly at the seal, displaying extreme yang and strength.

"boom!"

The fist collided violently with the seal, producing a deafening roar that sent many people staggering and nearly plummeting from the sky.

The seal dissipated, energy fluctuations spread outwards, and the golden-haired fist trembled slightly, clearly indicating that it was not in a good state.

All three Saint Lord-level figures were arrogant, and although they all made moves, they did so separately and did not gang up on each other.

The creatures in the Immortal Tomb were somewhat wary and did not rush out directly, which was quite unlike the frenzied ancient creatures; they were extremely intelligent.

At that moment, one hundred and eight divine rings appeared, like one hundred and eight universes, and among them, a young man, like a god, stepped out from the divine kingdom.

Ultimately, Li Yao still wanted to fight the Holy Prince, because he was the young prodigy who was closest to him at the moment. If they didn't fight now, there would be no need for them to fight in the future.

"Dong Yaoguang, he's here too, right here in the stone archway!"

"With such a creature appearing in the Yaoguang Stone Workshop, as the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, he should indeed step in to set things right."

The old Taoist priest, who was about to step forward, stopped in his tracks. As a supreme expert, he also had his pride and could not join forces with others to attack.

With Li Yao's arrival, the creatures in the Immortal Tomb seemed to lose their tranquility. With a loud bang, they completely shattered the ancient tomb and strode out.

"This kind of creature is..."

From afar came a chorus of exclamations. This humanoid creature was extraordinary, its body emanating a mysterious Daoist aura, like a born fighting saint.

It wasn't very tall, only a little over five feet long, but it was incredibly sturdy. Every inch of its flesh seemed to be cast from celestial gold, and its whole body was covered in thick golden fur, each hair standing up and having a metallic sheen.

It is not particularly majestic, but it possesses terrifying divine power. Every slight movement is extremely violent and beautiful, with an aura of self-importance and dominance.

This is an innate will, as if born for battle, with every inch of its body containing boundless fighting power.

"Among the myriad races of the ancient times, there was a royal family, few in number, but each one was an incomparably powerful being, known as the Fighting Saint Ape. Later, a supreme emperor emerged from this family, who was the last ancient emperor of the ancient era."

Li Yao's eyes burned with fierce light, his fighting spirit astounding. He stared directly at the holy ape before him, his aura enveloping the ape.

Beneath the feet of the Holy Prince lay a pile of shattered divine energy, interspersed with five colors, its dazzling light unable to conceal its power, its fiery eyes staring directly at Li Yao.

At their level, understanding a language is quite easy, and now the stone archway is incredibly noisy, filled with exclamations of amazement.

The Holy Prince's eyes darted around, and soon he roughly understood the language of later generations.

If you show him a book and ask him to read the words, he definitely won't recognize them, but if you just ask him to talk about them, then it shouldn't be a big problem.

"You know, my, father!" The Holy Prince spoke slowly and deliberately, clearly unfamiliar with the language of the ancient times.

His words caused a huge uproar; many people gasped in shock, while even more fled in panic, wishing they could hide at the ends of the earth.

The last ancient emperor of the Primordial Era—the Fighting Saint Emperor—was actually the father of this being. Doesn't that mean that this is an ancient emperor cub just like the human emperor's own child?

"The biological son of the Fighting Saint Emperor!" The powerful figures present were stunned, their minds buzzing and in complete disarray.

"It's actually this clan, the rarest of the ancient royal families. Even in the ancient era, there were only two or three of them. Not to mention, this is the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor!" Old Daoist Crimson Dragon said in a deep voice, his heart filled with shock.

Everyone was horrified. The ancient royal family was already terrifying enough, but this one was actually the son of an ancient emperor!
This is a born royalty. Even though it is still young now, once it is subdued, it will surely become a supreme being who reigns over the heavens when it grows up.

The powerful Ji family made a move, and five true dragons flew out from between his fingers. This was the supreme secret technique from the Ji family's ancient scriptures, called the Heaven-Severing Finger, which could even sever the sky!

"boom"

The Holy Prince was enveloped in a surge of golden light, every single golden hair radiating divine golden light. A terrifying power exploded forth, making people feel a tightness in their chests. He was simple and direct, throwing out a punch.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Holy Prince shattered the five true dragons with a single punch, breaking the supreme secret technique recorded in the Void Ancient Scripture.

"As expected of the Primordial Holy Emperor's own son!"

Everyone was shocked. The Holy Ape Clan was already extremely terrifying, but this Holy Emperor's son was clearly even more powerful than ordinary Holy Apes.

Given time, such a being will surely reign supreme over the heavens and the earth, becoming an invincible emperor.

Dong Yaoguang's position may not be truly secure!
This was the feeling of many people present, not only because of his immense strength, but also because of his identity—the youngest son of an ancient emperor!

Li Yao stepped forward, blocking everyone's path, and said, "This is my opponent. None of you are allowed to make any rash moves."

He spoke with unparalleled dominance, his powerful fighting spirit no less than that of the Fighting Saint Ape opposite him.

“Lord Yaoguang, although the Fighting Saint Ape originated from Yaoguang, its affiliation is no longer with you.” A powerful figure from the Ji family stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.

"The ancient Ji family, what grand ambitions they have! They actually want to subdue the ancient emperor's son. I don't know if it's your arrogance or your true fearlessness," Li Yao said calmly.

"The Holy Emperor of Battle has long since passed away. Although his descendants are noble, their submission to the Ji family will not disgrace his status." The powerful figure from the Ji family was extremely assertive.

"The Void Emperor also passed away, but he left behind the Ji family. Why do you think that the Fighting Saint Emperor left nothing behind?" Li Yao asked rhetorically.

"No matter what it is, the Ji family is fearless," said the powerful figure from the Ji family.

"Heh, the arrogance of the ignorant. The younger brother of the Fighting Saint Emperor, a Fighting Saint Ape who is about to become a Quasi-Emperor, a supreme Great Saint wielding the Fighting Saint Emperor's Ancient Emperor Soldier Immortal Iron Cudgel, is your Ji family not afraid?" Li Yao said indifferently.

"What!" The powerful figure from the Ji family changed his expression and staggered.

"Do you know where my uncle is?" The Holy Prince asked excitedly, his eyes gleaming with intense golden light.

"If you want to know, fight me, and I'll tell you," Li Yao said.

"Okay, but what about my aunt?" The Holy Prince hesitated, looking at the girl in the divine source.

"Don't worry, I've already warned them. And if they make a move in the stone workshop, they're making an enemy of Yao Guang and me." Li Yao said domineeringly.

The Holy Prince was relieved. He could sense the other party's powerful fighting spirit and terrifying combat strength. Such a person would not stoop to lying.

This is his territory, and since the other party said they could protect his aunt, he wouldn't go back on his word.

"Let's go out and fight."

Li Yao turned around and walked towards the outside of the stone archway, and the Holy Prince followed suit.

The Fighting Holy Ape clan is born warlike; it's ingrained in their blood. Now that they've met a worthy opponent, even the Holy Prince couldn't resist.

Seeing the two figures stepping out, the others excitedly followed, eager to witness the battle.

These two were extraordinary. One was the invincible Dong Yaoguang at the time, and the other was the biological son of the Fighting Saint Emperor.

It can be said that any one of them was the most powerful person of their time, and their battle today is absolutely unprecedented in history.
