Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 387 Breakthrough Attracts Four Saints

The person who made the move in secret must be at least a Great Sage, with immense power, capable of covering the sky with a single hand.

With a single hand gesture, one can communicate with the Great Dao; it seems as if ancient ancestors were worshipping that giant hand.

The sounds of sacrificial rites were faint and gentle, and in a trance, one small world after another appeared before everyone.

They could even see the sacrificial scenes within.

Countless ancestors knelt in worship, praying before colossal statues whose faces were obscured. Paths of the Great Way stretched out, connecting the ancestors with those statues.

This is a solemn sacrificial scene, reflecting the ancestors' expectations for life and death, and the awe they held in their hearts when they came into contact with nature time and time again.

"Great Sage!"

Someone spoke in shock and couldn't help but bend down.

Only the great sages of antiquity were qualified to receive such sacrifices, and only the great sages of antiquity were able to create so many small worlds to accommodate the beliefs of so many ancient people.

But no one expected that in this era, an ancient sage would appear, and that he would come for Wang Teng!

Just as the giant hand was about to touch the spine of Wang Teng, a loud shout rang out, and another crystal-clear, jade-like hand appeared above Wang Teng, briefly blocking the giant hand.

"A mere Saint King dares to contend with the Great Saint!"

The powerful figure in the shadows snorted softly.

Without any visible movement from his hands, the sacrificial chants of the ancestors suddenly grew louder.

The next moment, that large, crystal-clear, jade-like hand began to melt away inch by inch, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sunlight!
Yu Sheng's expression was grim.

Holy light emanated from him, and many strange phenomena appeared behind him.

Although he is not a Great Sage, he was once the guardian of several races and was worshipped and sacrificed to by tens of millions of living beings. He himself was also surrounded by the power of faith!

Moreover, the gap between him and the Great Sage is not that big!

If he hadn't died so young, his name might have been on the list of Great Sages!
"Become an immortal!"

Yu Sheng shouted.

Behind him, six pairs of pure white wings spread out.

The moment it unfolded, heaven and earth trembled, the Great Dao resonated, and the Great Dao, hidden in the deepest part of the void and untouchable by others, appeared directly in everyone's vague perception!
As the ancestors offered sacrifices to the living beings and the ancient sages paid homage, the wings on the back of the Feather Saint slowly burned, and the burning feathers fell off, turning into crystal-clear steps that appeared in front of the Feather Saint.

These steps seem to bear the weight of the Great Dao, and they look extraordinary. On each step, ancient sacred runes flow, and on each burning feather, the spiritual power of the ancestors boils.

The Feather Saint remained calm as he burned his wings and his Dao, transforming them into steps leading to immortality that stretched into the unknown.

"A mere Saint King dares to aspire to immortality?"

The Great Sage, hidden in the shadows, spoke, his words filled with sarcasm.

Even the great emperors of ancient times did not ascend to immortality so easily. How could a mere sage king ascend to immortality?
However, Yu Sheng did not respond. Facing the approaching giant hand, the approaching ancestral priests, and the crushing power of the ancestral spirits, he still stepped onto the steps without hesitation.

boom!
With the first step he took, his aura suddenly surged!
He was originally at the peak of the Saint King realm, only one or two steps away from becoming a Great Saint.

Now that he has climbed the first small step, his aura has suddenly become stronger!
It's almost comparable to the Monkey King!
"Hmm? Burning the spiritual power of our ancestors, burning ourselves, in exchange for temporary, greater power?"

The Great Sage in the shadows snorted, his words full of disdain and mockery.

Even the large hand didn't stop at all, continuing to press down.

At the very top, the steps shimmered with a holy light, echoing the sound of the Great Dao and forming a resistance that actually blocked the Great Sage's hand.

"It's impressive, but that's all it is. If you were originally a Great Sage, you might have been able to use this power to cross the Quasi-Emperor barrier and stop us. But you are just a Saint King. Even if you ascend to the next level, you are still just a Great Sage. Do you still dare to try to reverse the outcome?"

Another voice spoke.

The sound was distant and unseen, its origin unknown, its source unknown, and its era unknown!

The next moment, a piece of celestial halberd, carrying the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, came, piercing through the void and severing the past, present, and future, as if it came from the ages ago, and fell at this moment!
The sky collapsed, and the Great Dao hummed. It was clearly night, but with the appearance of the Heavenly Halberd and the collapse of the Great Dao, it had the appearance of daytime!
Tian Ge swept across the battlefield without any superfluous techniques, yet this simple sweep seemed unstoppable!

"The second Great Sage!"

From the crowd, Black King began to curse.

After hearing that Wang Teng had returned to the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, he figured that things must not be going so smoothly for Wang Teng, so he rushed over in a hurry.

However, he still underestimated the ruthlessness of those in the shadows.

"Who exactly did Wang Teng block?! How come so many powerful figures suddenly appeared?! Two Great Saints intervened right from the start! Even when the ancient clans revived, two Great Saints didn't appear all at once!"

Black Emperor growled, his face extremely grim.

Between his claws lay a small jade bell, his greatest trump card, which he had only discovered when he went to Purple Mountain with the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon.

He knew that Wang Teng was protected by the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon, but this was only the beginning, and two Great Saints had already made their move. No one knew what kind of changes would follow!
Under the moonlight, the Heavenly Halberd swept across, striking directly at the Feather Saint's brow.

The Heavenly Spear is not holy; it is stained with blood, and some of it has dried and turned black.

But even after so many years, the power of that tainted blood still remains. As the Heavenly Halberd sweeps across, it seems as if ancient saints are wailing and living beings are weeping!

When he saw Tian Ge, Yu Sheng finally raised his head.

For the first time, such anger appeared on his usually stern and imposing face.

"It was you back then!" Yu Sheng shouted.

"It's surprising that an insect has survived to this life, but it ends here."

The Great Sage's voice, though calm, carried a strong killing intent.

A group of people in the distance had a drastic change in expression and knelt on the ground, trembling.

No one expected that the Great Sage would make a move right from the start!

They guessed that Wang Teng's breakthrough wouldn't be smooth sailing, but no one expected that, just as things were beginning, a Great Sage would actually appear!
Shouldn't the powerful figure take a step forward and test the waters?

Has the King of Slaying the Dao not appeared yet, as he is in a hurry to slay the Dao?
Even saints didn't have to participate; they directly became Great Saints!

The second Great Sage to make a move also had a clear target: the Feathered Saint!
The first Great Sage captured the great dragon on the spine behind Wang Teng!
The second Great Sage killed the Feathered Sage!

Just as the Heavenly Halberd was about to strike Yu Sheng's brow, a soft sigh rang out.

"Fellow Daoist, as an ancient powerhouse, why are you so aggressive and attack the weak?"

A streak of fire shot into the sky, transforming into a true phoenix with burning wings, which struck the heavenly halberd.

The two collided in mid-air, with intense bursts of fire, like two meteors colliding!

Once the flames died down, everyone finally saw who had made the move.

"The White-Clad God-King!"

"The Divine King of the Jiang Family!"

In mid-air, a figure in white stood with his hands behind his back, before whom the Hengyu Furnace floated and spewed flames.

Tian Ge was also suspended in mid-air, briefly hindered.

They appeared to be evenly matched, but everyone could see the shocking splash of red on the white-robed god-king's body!
The God-King was wounded and bleeding!

"Incredible! You don't have the aura of being sealed away; you are a person of this era! A person of this era who has broken the shackles of heaven and earth multiple times and is only one step away from becoming a Saint King is undoubtedly a prodigy. Someone like you, if you were in another era, might have been able to compete for that one and only opportunity. But unfortunately, you have chosen the wrong side."

The Great Sage, hidden in the shadows, spoke. Seeing such a powerful figure who had broken the shackles of heaven and earth multiple times in this era, he was also somewhat tempted and wanted to influence him with words and bring him under his command.

The white-robed god-king remained calm in the face of a great sage.

"Different road non-phase plan."

The white-robed god-king spoke calmly.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, still controlling the Hengyu Furnace, standing between the Feather Saint and the second Great Saint.

Although he is neither a peak Saint King nor a Great Saint, he possesses the pure and flawless Hengyu bloodline and is able to wield the Hengyu Furnace!
"What a perfect example of 'those who walk different paths cannot make plans together'! Jiang Hengyu's descendant is indeed just like him!"

The Great Sage, hidden in the shadows, burst into loud laughter.

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the onlookers changed slightly.

Jiang Hengyu?
That Emperor Hengyu!

Judging from what this guy said, it seems the other party knows Emperor Hengyu?

A powerful figure of the same era?
So how long did this person actually live?
Emperor Hengyu has already passed away, and the great sages of the same era have been sealed away in this life.
Upon hearing his opponent mention his predecessors, Jiang Taixu's expression turned icy.

"Fight!" Jiang Taixu shouted softly.

He activated the Hengyu Furnace with all his might, and it almost completely recovered.

The light of the Fire Phoenix illuminated a hundred thousand miles, and from afar, it looked like a dormant divine phoenix spreading its wings!

This is a much larger spectacle than when a few supreme imperial weapons attacked Purple Mountain!
After all, nowadays, it is a powerful figure who is close to the Saint King level who is personally in control of the Hengyu Furnace!

The Flame Phoenix sprayed Dao Fire, burning everything around it. The void was ablaze, with various colored flames flickering faintly, as if the Great Dao itself was burning!

Everyone knows that the White-Clad God King is fully activating the Eternal Universe Furnace!
"Alright! Let me test you, the junior, on behalf of Jiang Hengyu!"

The Great Sage, hidden in the shadows, spoke, his voice booming.

Tian Ge swept his weapon again!

Strange phenomena reappeared across the world!

In a daze, there were spider lilies growing vigorously on the other side of the underworld, their blue light illuminating the endless void when they bloomed. But as the heavenly halberd swept across, both the other side of the underworld and the boundless spider lilies were mercilessly torn apart.

Even the Great Dao, representing the Underworld, was stirred by the sharpness of the Heavenly Halberd and let out a mournful cry.

The True Phoenix pounced, and Hengyu Furnace transformed into a True Phoenix, heading towards Tiange, where a fierce battle erupted in mid-air.

On the other side, the large hand had already landed, its fingertips brushing against the ascension steps.

Once the ascension steps are broken, that giant hand can directly face Wang Teng's spine dragon and "take it at any time"!
From the moment the battle began and the first Great Sage appeared until now, less than a moment has passed.

While everyone around was still in shock, they saw the second Great Sage descend upon the scene, the White-Clad God King making his move...

“This child defies the heavens and will eventually be punished by the heavens. Rather than waiting for the will of heaven and earth to destroy him, it is better to use this moment to bring out something useful to benefit other living beings.”

The first to make a move, the Great Sage, chuckled.

With a sweeping motion, the ascension staircase shook violently.

Yu Sheng's body trembled slightly, but he still continued to climb the steps.

When he reached the ninth step, all the steps in front of him were broken.

Yu Sheng had already raised one foot, which was dangling in mid-air. He sighed helplessly.

"What a pity. Your talent is quite good, but you are ultimately limited by the times. If you were given time, you might actually be able to step into the Quasi-Emperor realm using the so-called Ascension Steps! But now, you are a Great Sage who has only reached this level by burning yourself. How many moves do you intend to stop me?"

The Great Sage, hidden in the shadows, laughed.

With a large fist, he directly suppressed Yu Sheng.

"I don't need to stop you a few times; I'm just confirming what I've been thinking."

Yu Sheng spoke calmly.

"A battle here would surely devastate the Eastern Wilderness. Please head to the outer battlefield!"

Yu Sheng spoke.

A path to ascension to immortality appeared, extending directly from the four saints into the outer starry sky.

That was the battlefield of all the ancient sages throughout history.

Ancient sages possessed such immense power that if they were to engage in battle on the ground, they could easily destroy the heavens and the earth, altering mountains and rivers, and causing widespread devastation.

Therefore, if ancient sages were to engage in a great war, they would travel to the stars and fight there.

It has been far too long since an ancient saint has appeared, and the extraterrestrial battlefield has almost been forgotten.

"Extraterritorial battlefields..."

The Great Sage in the shadows snorted coldly and transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards the outer realm.

Immediately afterwards, another Great Sage also went to the outer realms.

"We can only delay these two Great Sages, you must hold on."

The white-robed god-king held the Hengyu Furnace in his hand, his face serene and composed.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see the determination in his eyes.

Four sages have traveled to the battlefield beyond the realm, where a battle is about to break out!
Many people craned their necks, trying to see the battle, but the outer realms were too far away, and without special means, it was difficult to see that battlefield.

"I never expected that my old bones wouldn't be of any help..."

A soft sigh echoed in the void.

The aging king of the Ji family appeared, a hint of surprise on his face.

Although he had guessed that many powerful figures would try to stop Wang Teng's breakthrough, he was prepared to fight against other Dao-Slaying Kings, and even if an Ancient Saint were to resurrect, he would be able to fight with the Void Mirror.

But who would have thought that these powerful individuals would disregard martial ethics?

The Great Sage appears right off the bat!

He, the King of the Dao, was stuck in the middle, unable to advance or retreat.

The battle above is at the Great Sage level; even with the Void Mirror in his hand, he is not qualified to participate.

If one's own cultivation level is not up to par, even if one wields an ultimate imperial weapon, one is not qualified to join the Great Sage's battlefield.

So he simply stayed there to continue protecting Wang Teng.

He believed that those targeting Wang Teng were definitely not just these two Great Sages.

Sure enough, right after the Four Saints left, another powerful figure made a move!
And it's just as strong!

They were also ancient sages!

This child must be killed!
