I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

As a Holy Land, Yao Guang had a large and prosperous family. It also possessed many source mines in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, from which sources could be extracted. Sometimes, even divine sources or other treasures could be discovered.

Such resources were naturally contested by various parties. It was fine between Holy Lands; they had reached agreements privately. Conflicts only arose when dividing the cake, and they usually wouldn't invade each other's mining areas.

However, some people were different.

Bandits.

In the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, there were the Thirteen Great Bandits. United, they acted recklessly, daring to target even the mining areas of Holy Lands and aristocratic families.

It would be one thing if they just made a move, but the key was that after they did, Jiang Li, as the Holy Son, had to step forward to appease the various mining areas, stabilize morale, and reclaim the lost ground.

The Northern Region had always been peaceful and harmonious.

Therefore, Luo Mo, who had been living a peaceful Holy Son life in the Yao Guang Holy Land for several months, was forced to appear above an oasis.

According to Yao Guang's intelligence, this place was supported by the Thirteen Great Bandits, with disciples of the bandits overseeing business here, trading materials and information.

He didn't conceal his whereabouts. Nine layers of divine light enveloped him, and a jade disc hovered above his head, flashing with ninefold divine radiance.

This was a jade disc he had made using nine types of Nine Heavens Divine Jade. Although not much material was used, only twenty centimeters in diameter, it was only meant to mark his identity to the outside world. However, it was still astonishing, as it was a fusion of Nine Heavens Divine Jade.

Below, a divine rainbow soared into the sky, scrutinizing Luo Mo.

Although he didn't recognize him, based on various intelligence reports, it should undoubtedly be the new Yao Guang Holy Son.

"So, the Yao Guang Holy Son has graced us with his presence."

This man had a rugged beard and didn't meticulously groom his appearance like ordinary cultivators. However, he possessed the cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Realm, which was enough to make him an elder in a Holy Land.

"I've long heard that the Yao Guang Holy Land selected a little baby as their Holy Son. Seeing him today, it's indeed the case. I wonder if he's been weaned yet, hahahaha..."

"I wonder what this little baby Holy Son is doing here. Could it be that you've come to give us gifts? If you're giving gifts, you don't need to be too polite. I think this jade disc of yours is quite good."

The Dragon Transformation Realm strongman extended a large hand of divine power, wanting to suppress Luo Mo with his cultivation and seize his weapon. They had a long-standing feud with Yao Guang, and as he spoke, he directly attacked.

Roar—

A dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth. This oasis was built on top of a nearby dragon vein, but at this moment, the dragon vein actually transformed, and endless essence turned into boundless killing intent.

Only then did Luo Mo say, "I spent a few days setting up a Source Art formation nearby. Please, everyone, have a taste."

"What?!"

Even the Dragon Transformation Realm strongman was shocked. This new Yao Guang Holy Son was actually proficient in Source Arts, which wasn't in their intelligence reports.

He summoned a divine wooden palace to withstand the dragon vein's killing intent, but Luo Mo formed hand seals, mobilizing the earth's pulse.

Immediately, hundreds of dragon veins transformed, carrying endless killing intent as they flew into the sky.

'Using the Great Dragon Appraisal Technique and the Great World Technique to guide Source Arts, creating new moves within the Source Heavenly Divine Art. Then, this move shall be called Myriad Dragons Refining the Realm.'

Hundreds of dragon veins intertwined, turning this place into a天地洪炉.

Luo Mo regretted that he only had the most basic Three Thousand Great Daos and not the Great Immortal Techniques formed from the combination of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Therefore, this move could only be called Myriad Dragons Refining the Realm and couldn't have the words 'Great Immortal Technique' added.

Using the subtle methods of the Three Thousand Great Daos to guide the execution of Source Arts, the furnace formed by hundreds of dragon veins quickly refined everyone inside to the point of near-death. Even the bearded strongman of the Dragon Transformation Realm was no exception. He couldn't break through this furnace of heaven and earth formed by the dragon veins, and he keenly felt that the Yao Guang Holy Son's cultivation wasn't much weaker than his.

This was terrifying. The difference in cultivation between the two sides was actually not that great, and the other party had spent several days setting up a deadly formation.

Luo Mo never liked to waste words. With a wave of his sleeve, he collected all these people.

There were also people from various places who came to the oasis to trade, some from sects, some were rogue cultivators. Luo Mo ignored these people, leaving them on the barren land.

The once lush oasis in the barren Northern Region had now become an infertile land. All the nearby dragon veins were destroyed at once, and it wouldn't be suitable for habitation here for at least one or two thousand years.

The rogue cultivators also didn't expect this new Yao Guang Holy Son to be so ruthless, even refining the entire stronghold. He was definitely a ruthless person who didn't match his age.

The news quickly spread, and everyone sighed that Yao Guang was really lucky. The original Holy Son already had the姿态of invincibility, and when he suddenly died violently, everyone thought that Yao Guang would decline in this generation. They didn't expect another even more ruthless one to emerge.

The news of a younger, more powerful, and more talented Holy Son, a Holy Body born with the attributes of a king, and the inheritance of a saint also spread.

Some people said that this Yao Guang Holy Son seemed to be proficient in Source Arts. Could it be related to the Source Heavenly Master lineage?

Therefore, experts from Source Art families went to this infertile land that had been refined, stating that the Source Arts used by the Yao Guang Holy Son were very unique and novel, very different from any previous school of Source Arts. He was good at controlling dragon veins, and even traces of dragon energy were left on the scene, seemingly cultivating some kind of dragon energy secret technique. He should be unrelated to the Source Heavenly Master lineage.

Jiang Li, who had done such a thing, naturally became the public enemy of all cultivators under the Thirteen Great Bandits. Walking in the Northern Region, seven battles broke out in two days. All those who attacked were the younger generation among the Great Bandits, and all were suppressed by Jiang Li. According to eyewitnesses, he never used a second move.

The Thirteen Great Bandits naturally weren't willing to show weakness. After a period of silence, they brazenly attacked, ambushing the Yao Guang Holy Son, Jiang Li.

The one who attacked was Xu Tianxiong, the Third Great Bandit, a strongman of the Sendai Realm. Because one of the people captured by the Yao Guang Holy Son before was his proud disciple, who had cultivated to the Dragon Transformation Realm at a young age. Xu Tianxiong had high hopes for him, but he didn't expect to be suppressed by a junior.

And it was rumored that the Yao Guang Holy Son only cultivated a single realm, with the battle prowess of the Four Extremes Realm.

The Four Extremes Realm was the third realm, and the Sendai Realm was the fifth realm, separated by a gap of two major realms. No matter how heaven-defying the Yao Guang Holy Son was, it was impossible for him to fight Xu Tianxiong across two major realms.

But the result was unexpected.

Many cultivators witnessed Xu Tianxiong being chased by the Yao Guang Holy Son until he vomited blood, with a bronze mirror hovering above his head, erupting with shocking saintly might.

The Yao Guang Holy Son burned millions of catties of pure source directly upon attacking, turning it into pure essence and pouring it into the holy weapon, the bronze mirror, causing it to erupt.

A beam of mirror light pierced through the sky and the earth. With a single sweep, even the earth was split open, leaving a deep gully. Xu Tianxiong didn't dare to confront it head-on. His weapon was blown up the moment they met, and he used a substitute to escape. Later, he kept fleeing until he approached the territory of another Great Bandit, Tu Tian, before the Yao Guang Holy Son gave up the chase.

The Northern Region was speechless for a time.

What was this called?

A 'spend source' playstyle?

Consuming millions of catties of pure source to unleash a single attack from a holy weapon. Even a Holy Land couldn't withstand this kind of consumption, right?

But the effect was also very significant. Even a Great Bandit didn't dare to directly receive a blow from a holy weapon, and fled in terror, seeking shelter.
