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

Chapter 183 The Ruthless Man's Backup Plan

The Primordial Dao Diagram continued to press down, causing the void to collapse, like a galaxy falling down, with nothing able to stop it.

The Holy Body's powerful physical body crackled and popped, and golden blood stained half of its body red.

"Ah..." Ye Fan roared, unleashing the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, which he transformed into a several-foot-long structure, resembling a small mountain, to meet the Dao Diagram.

But it was no use. It fell down immediately. If it weren't for the near-immortal and indestructible Mother Qi of all things, it would probably have shattered by now.

Ye Fan was unwilling to accept this, his body surging with energy. The Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron hung above his head, and Xuanhuang Qi descended to protect him.

At the same time, he unleashed the divine body phenomenon, a chaotic blue lotus swaying and releasing chaotic energy, shooting towards the heavens and rushing into the innate Dao diagram.

Unfortunately, it still couldn't stop it; it only slowed down the speed at which the Dao diagram fell.

Then, magnificent landscapes and celestial kings descending from the heavens appeared one after another, continuously bombarding the Primordial Dao Diagram...

"Cough!" Ye Fan coughed up blood, and his Holy Body's shell cracked open, densely packed like a spider web.

He was desperate and filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do. He had tried everything, but he still couldn't stop the Dao Diagram from descending. This was a decisive blow.

He finally understood that the reason why the Holy Body could not cultivate was not only due to physical reasons, but more importantly, because this world no longer allowed the Holy Body to cultivate.

Anyone would collapse in this situation, because how can human beings contend with heaven and earth, especially when they have just embarked on the path of cultivation and their own strength is weak? In the face of heaven and earth, they are like a mayfly trying to shake the blue sky.

"Don't give up. Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven. If Heaven and Earth do not allow it, then man will surely conquer Heaven." Jiang Taixu shouted, both to remind Ye Fan and to remind himself.

Even after achieving the Great Perfection of the Divine King Body, there will still be powerful constraints. Although he has become a saint, those constraints still remain.

The physique that once provided him with great assistance has now become a shackle binding him.

Jiang Taixu was naturally unwilling to accept this. He had even decided to sever the origin of the God King Body and break free from this shackle.

Ye Fan's current predicament is remarkably similar to his; both are bound by shackles.

Even in the face of adversity, we must not give up. Striving may not bring much hope, but if we give up, there is truly no hope at all.

"boom!"

The earth shook violently, and a terrifying pressure appeared, causing everyone to tremble and want to prostrate themselves in worship.

This was an unparalleled power, as if a universe had fallen from the sky, and the heavens and earth seemed about to collapse.

Crimson light engulfed the divine city, the supreme imperial might permeated the air, and the Hengyu Furnace soared into the sky, stabilizing the continuously falling Dao diagram.

The sheer power a sage could unleash when wielding an ultimate imperial weapon is enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Almost instantly, the Hengyu Furnace was revived, its divine power enough to dry up a vast ocean.

Nearly half of the cultivators in the divine city collapsed to the ground, as if they had sensed several wisps of the Great Emperor's aura.

Even the Primordial Dao Diagram was frozen in place and could no longer be pressed down.

But Li Yao knew that this was useless and only temporary, because the Innate Dao Diagram had not disappeared, but was just fixed in place. As long as the Hengyu Furnace left, it would press down again.

The divine power required to activate the imperial weapon was simply too exaggerated; even Jiang Taixu could not keep the Hengyu Furnace reviving indefinitely.

Many insightful cultivators have also discovered this: the Holy Body is difficult to repair once severed; the Eternal Furnace can protect it for a time, but not forever.

"I wonder if I can withstand it if I go?" Li Yao had already seen through the essence of the Innate Dao Diagram.

This kind of tribulation is similar to the heavenly tribulation; both contain the will of heaven and earth and do not arbitrarily unleash devastating attacks.

Instead, it unleashes different kinds of power based on different forces. Otherwise, the power that the Innate Dao Diagram is currently unleashing could have instantly killed Ye Fan.

Without being immodest, Li Yao has reached an unprecedented level in his current realm. If he were to make a move, Dao Tu would only be using the power of someone at the same realm, which would be no match for him.

This is not a baseless conjecture. Although the Holy Body lineage was cursed by the Underworld with the Heavenly Treasure, in the final analysis, it only affected the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, slightly altering the minor trend in the overall situation.

If someone were to emerge who surpasses the current limits of their realm, then the Innate Dao Diagram could be deciphered.

Just like Jiang Taixu's divine blood, it is a power that transcends the limits of the current realm.

Of course, these were just Li Yao's guesses, and he wouldn't take action, because just as he had this thought in his mind, the former secret gave him a warning.

If he truly breaks the Innate Dao Diagram, there might be an unprecedented upheaval, and he might encounter an unimaginable catastrophe.

He couldn't possibly risk his life for someone else.

This is not his style, unless this person is more important than his life.

"Ye Hei, it seems you're still going to suffer again," Li Yao muttered to himself.

However, he wasn't worried about Ye Fan getting into trouble because he had someone backing him up.

This person is naturally not Jiang Taixu; he is a variable. Even if he doesn't intervene, Ye Fan will definitely escape danger in the face of life and death.

In the midst of the darkness and turmoil, everyone who participated died, except for Ye Fan, who was resurrected.

"boom!"

The Hengyu Furnace and the Innate Dao Diagram were constantly at odds, and the terrifying divine power made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The power of the resurrected imperial weapon is so great that even the order of heaven and earth cannot overcome it.

However, the Hengyu Furnace also cannot destroy the Innate Dao Diagram, and the current situation is just a stalemate.

Jiang Taixu's eyes kept shifting as he pondered a solution. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind.

Just then, Ye Fan spoke up: "Senior God King, please put away the Sacred Furnace."

He calmed down completely, collected his thoughts, and prepared to face the Innate Dao Diagram without fear of death. This stalemate couldn't continue indefinitely. Although Jiang Taixu could maintain the Hengyu Furnace's revival for a while, it ultimately had its limits.

We'll have to face it sooner or later, so instead of waiting passively, we should take the initiative.

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu withdrew the Hengyu Furnace, and the Innate Dao Diagram, now free of obstruction, pressed down once more.

"Crack!"

In an instant, Ye Fan's body trembled violently, his bones broke, his divine sense shattered, and the innate Dao diagram slowly rotated, as if it were about to obliterate his Dao foundation.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, just as the Dao diagram was about to obliterate Ye Fan's Dao foundation, a terrifying divine might erupted in Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Wheels, like a great emperor ruling over the nine heavens and ten earths walking in the world.

Jiang Taixu was stunned and stopped his plan to open the Divine King's Pure Land.

He originally planned to open the Divine King's Pure Land and sever the connection between the Dao Diagram and Ye Fan with divine blood.

Anyway, he was going to sever the origin of the God-King Body all along, it was just a little earlier.

But a sudden change interrupted his actions; the bronze fragment actually blocked the innate Dao diagram and protected Ye Fan's Dao foundation.

"I knew it." Li Yao was equally surprised from a distance.

It was just a guess, but when it was actually confirmed, he was still somewhat shocked.

"Is this the ruthless person's backup plan?"

Ye Fan said that he found this bronze fragment on the edge of the desolate ancient forbidden land.

Li Yao immediately sensed something was wrong and guessed that the ruthless man had laid some kind of backup plan on the bronze fragments.

Now, all the mysteries have been revealed.

A curse has descended upon the Four Extremes Secret Realm of the Sacred Body; a ruthless person like him would not have been without preparations.

In the original story, the ruthless man's backup plan was not revealed simply because Jiang Taixu intervened.

In this life, because Li Yao inadvertently changed the plot, Pang Bo was not possessed. Ye Fan returned to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to avoid the demon race and found the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

And above, there is the power left behind by a ruthless person.

The curse of the Holy Body is an unprecedented terror for ordinary people, but for ruthless people, it is just some underhanded tactics.

Let alone the Innate Dao Diagram, even the Heavenly Nether Treasure is nothing in the eyes of a ruthless person.

"That's... green copper, a huge piece of green copper!" an old royal uncle from Zhongzhou exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the bronze fragment.

"What is that? Is it some extraordinary treasure?" A cultivator from another major domain asked in confusion, not recognizing it.

“That is a treasure of the Central Plains, said to be an extraordinary and rare gem,” a ruler stepped forward and said solemnly.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Before the Azure Emperor took human form, it is said that he was rooted in green copper."

"boom!"

Everyone instantly realized the value of this piece of green copper. How could something that had taken root before the Azure Emperor took human form be an ordinary object?

Looking at the Primordial Dao Diagram being erased, Li Yao knew that Jiang Taixu wouldn't need to intervene in this life.

"This is the benefit of having a powerful backer!" he thought to himself.

Ye Fan has this connection, which could actually be put to good use.

Six forbidden zones for life? What are those? I don't know, I'm just trying to live, and I'll go tell my sister.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Yao stopped paying attention and turned back into the main hall to continue digesting his insights.

The moment the ruthless man revealed his backup plan, everything was already set in stone.

In this life, Ye Fan won't even have any problems with his Dao foundation.

However, Li Yao didn't pay much attention to these things. Everyone had their own path, and they walked different paths that never intersected.

Ye Fan's future has changed, and many unexpected things may happen.

But so what? As long as he becomes strong enough and moves fast enough, he will not be afraid of any variables.

Inside the main hall, Li Yao was absorbed in his work, beginning to process the remaining insights into the Dao of Thunder.

Observing the Holy Body Tribulation and the Innate Dao Diagram brought him many gains. Most notably, his understanding of the Dao of Thunder was digested by another 20%.

He still has 30% left. Once he finishes digesting it, he can re-enter the realm of creation.

Thirty percent of the profound meaning of the Thunder Dao would have taken at least a month to digest in the past, but now it can be digested in a few days at most.

"After digesting what I've gained this time, I'll enter the realm of creation again to comprehend it, and perhaps my cultivation will be close to a breakthrough level." Li Yao was multitasking.

This is his greatest reliance: the Heavenly Book, which is even more impressive than being protected by a powerful figure.

It has only been a little over half a month since his last breakthrough, and counting the time until his next enlightenment, it will only be a month and a half, less than two months, before he can break through again.

This speed is unprecedented; no one in history could match it.
