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

Chapter 423 The Black Emperor's Decisive Battle, Immortal Phoenix Essence Blood
"Don't stop me! I'm going to fight him to the death!"

"Waaaaah! You actually made the Emperor take the blame! The Emperor isn't even in this realm anymore, and you still have to take the blame for me!"

"You've gone too far! Don't stop me! I'm going to fight Wang Teng to the death!"

"Ye Fan, don't stop me! Pang Bo, don't stop me either! And that monkey! Don't stop me either! I'm going to fight Wang Teng to the death! The Emperor's majesty cannot be challenged! Let alone taking the blame!"

Black Emperor roared, his attitude exceptionally firm, as if he were determined to fight Wang Teng to the death.

However, the little girl standing to the side spoke up.

"Big dog, they didn't stop you, why are you standing there without moving?"

The little girl looked up, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

Beside them, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the Holy Prince stood neatly together with the monkey, their arms crossed and their faces beaming with barely suppressed smiles.

They were just here, happily watching a stand-up comedy performance.

Black Emperor shouted for a long time, his voice filled with determination, as if he really wanted to fight Wang Teng to the death.

But in reality, this big black dog was a real dog. He stood still without moving, but barked loudly and even secretly took two steps back.

"Cough cough, they're secretly stopping me! They're not letting me go forward! Don't be fooled by their seemingly motionless stance! They've already attacked me! They don't want me to fight Wang Teng!"

Black Emperor spoke seriously and earnestly.

"Oh, I see!" The little girl nodded seriously.

"Can you even be a human being? You're lying to children... no, you're not even human. You should be a dog!" Ye Fan sighed and said.

This big black dog is so heartless! It even fools children. It has no conscience at all!
"Go away, what do kids know! Am I lying? I'm just weaving a beautiful lie!" Black King said, baring his teeth.

If it were any other time, if Ye Fan spoke to him so smugly, Black Emperor would have already sneaked up behind Ye Fan and given him a bite!

But now, the Black King has many questions he wants to ask.

"Did you really hear the Undying Emperor speak? Did he really call out the Great Emperor's name?" the Black Emperor asked impatiently, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The Holy Prince was the same, but he was not curious about the Great Emperor Wushi, but rather about the Undying Emperor who was revered as a god by countless ancient clans!

Wang Teng fought against the Undying Emperor, who was at the same level, and won. In the end, he even heard the Undying Emperor's roar.

To be honest, if anyone else had said these things, the Holy Prince would have thought they were crazy.

But if it's Wang Teng...

The Holy Prince's face was also filled with curiosity, wanting to know more details.

“Yes, if you don’t believe me, I can let you hear it.” Wang Teng chuckled.

A drop of crystal-clear, bright red blood appeared at his fingertip.

That drop of blood was like the most brilliant and round ruby, suspended in mid-air, radiating dazzling light!

There were not many unusual phenomena, no strange sight of a drop of blood suppressing the Great Dao, no enormous aura of a drop of blood shattering the void, and no grand illusion of a drop of blood depicting the birth and death of the universe. This drop of blood simply hung calmly on Wang Teng's fingertip.

However, this seemingly ordinary drop of blood essence drew everyone's attention.

Black Emperor quietly took two steps forward, tears dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Is this the essence blood of the Immortal Emperor?" the Holy Prince asked.

Although there was nothing unusual when this drop of essence blood appeared, when he stared intently at it, he seemed to see a crimson phoenix with wings that could blot out the universe!

At this moment, there is no need for further verification!

"Yes." Wang Teng nodded.

The power of time and space appeared beside him. Although this drop of essence blood did not return to the Undying Emperor, Wang Teng still managed to capture something during that instant of "communication between the two worlds".

For example, this sentence...

"Wu Shi is truly shameless..."

A deep and magnetic voice faintly emanated from that drop of blood essence.

It seemed as if an entire era had passed, so much so that they couldn't hear it clearly, and they weren't even very familiar with the tone of the voice. They could only try to grasp its meaning with their divine sense.

Then they heard those words.

"No, I... Hiss!" Black Emperor gasped.

At first, he thought Wang Teng had misheard, but now he was certain that it was the voice of the Immortal Emperor!

Black Emperor didn't know why he was so certain. It was as if he had heard this voice before and knew its origin, but he couldn't remember exactly when it happened. He only had this tiny, vague impression etched deep in his memory...

"See? I didn't lie to you. But I don't know why, after fighting with me, the Undying Emperor actually cursed the Great Emperor Wushi," Wang Teng said.

He was also puzzled. The Great Emperor Wushi had not appeared from beginning to end, and Wang Teng had not even asked the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon to help. Moreover, even if he had asked the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon to help, so much time had passed since the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon and the Great Emperor Wushi had their conversation across time and space, and the traces left by that conversation had already disappeared.

and so……

Why did the Undying Emperor angrily berate the Great Emperor Wushi after losing a battle against someone of the same realm?

Wang Teng himself was also puzzled. He pondered for a while in the Immortal Egg World, but still couldn't figure it out.

"I'm not entirely sure either..." the Black Emperor muttered to himself, "but daring to insult the Emperor, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

As he spoke, the Black Emperor was about to rush over and swallow that drop of bright red blood essence in one gulp.

Fortunately, Ye Fan reacted quickly and was prepared, pressing the Black Emperor down. "Are you out of your mind? That's the blood essence of the Undying Emperor! It's very likely the blood essence of one of the most powerful beings in history. Aren't you afraid of exploding and dying if you swallow it like that?!" Ye Fan pressed the Black Emperor down with all his might.

He even used his own unique energy field, going all out, to barely suppress the Black Emperor and prevent him from continuing to charge forward.

"What do you know! The drop of essence blood that the Undying Emperor left in his child's egg must not have much killing intent. On the contrary, it may contain some of the Undying Emperor's inheritance!" The Black Emperor tried to paw at Wang Teng, wanting to get close to Wang Teng and taste the drop of essence blood on Wang Teng's fingertip.

His tongue was sticking out long, and his face was full of anticipation and impatience.

Ye Fan looked at Wang Teng somewhat embarrassed, seemingly worried that Black Emperor's greed would displease Wang Teng.

However, Wang Teng wasn't unhappy at all. That was just Black Emperor's personality, something he already knew very well when he read the original novel.

So even though he is currently holding this drop of blood essence from the Undying Emperor on his fingertip, this drop of blood essence is actually in another dimension. Even if the Black Emperor suddenly rushes over, he will not be able to actually swallow this drop of blood essence.

Wang Teng has been on guard against this guy.

“I have examined it. There is no inheritance of the Undying Emperor in this drop of blood essence. The purpose of this drop of blood essence seems to be only to protect the Emperor’s son,” Wang Teng said.

While he was in the Immortal Egg World, he had already been examining this drop of essence blood, but no matter how he examined it, he could not find any inheritance in it.

This drop of essence blood contains only pure power. If one were to swallow this drop of essence blood, it would greatly benefit the evolution of living beings, especially the bird race.

The bird race has always had an inseparable relationship with the Celestial Phoenix. Just as the evolutionary end of the Scaled Clan and most beasts is the Dragon, the evolutionary end of the bird race is mostly mythical creatures such as the Celestial Phoenix or the Vermilion Bird.

Take the Peacock King for example. If he were given this drop of Immortal Phoenix Blood, it would definitely allow him to reach the level of a Dao-Slaying King in a short period of time, or even go further and perhaps be able to reach the threshold of a Sage.

However, the Peacock King cultivates the True Dragon Nine Transformations, and the peacock phantom behind him shows signs of transforming into a true dragon. The head of that peacock phantom has even grown illusory dragon horns. If Wang Teng were to give the Peacock King this drop of Immortal Phoenix Blood Essence, it might disrupt the Peacock King's normal cultivation process, and even the Peacock King's efforts in previous years to transform his cultivation technique into the True Dragon Nine Transformations might be in vain.

Therefore, after initial consideration, Wang Teng did not choose to bestow this drop of essence blood upon the Peacock King.

As for everyone else…

The Great Sage Crane was within Wang Teng's considerations.

The Great Sage Crane was, after all, the one who guided Wang Teng to this point. Without the Great Sage Crane, there would be no Wang Teng in the original story, nor would there be the Wang Teng of today. Therefore, the Great Sage Crane would be given priority when it comes to this drop of essence blood.

However, based on Wang Teng's understanding of the Great Sage Crane, the Great Sage Crane probably wouldn't accept this drop of essence blood.

After all, the Great Sage Crane has reached this point through his own abilities, and he certainly wouldn't rely on the blood of others to complete his transformation in the final few steps.

Therefore, while Wang Teng was considering the Great Sage of the Crane, he was also considering others. This drop of the Immortal Phoenix's essence blood was not of much use to him, but if given to the right person, it could have a tremendous effect, perhaps even creating another sage in this era.

However, Wang Teng doesn't have many people to consider right now. He's not very familiar with the Crow Daoist from the demon race, and there isn't much interaction between them. As for Yan Ruyu, those top-grade dragon marrows are useful to him, but this drop of immortal phoenix blood essence might not be of much use to her.

There is a huge difference between top-grade dragon marrow and immortal phoenix blood essence.

That pool of top-grade dragon marrow grew between heaven and earth, without much impurity, and was not much different from other dragon marrow. It could be used in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and was the purest of all.

However, this drop of Immortal Phoenix Blood is different. The bright yellow hydrogen gas comes from the body of the Undying Emperor. Although it does not have the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor or the killing consciousness, it carries the Immortal Phoenix Mark, which will more or less affect the cultivator's cultivation.

Therefore, Wang Teng looked at the Black Emperor and said, "This drop of essence blood contains the mark of the Immortal Phoenix. If you really swallow it, you will probably grow a pair of Immortal Phoenix wings."

However, it would have been better if he hadn't heard these words. As soon as he heard them, Black King's eyes began to gleam with anticipation!

"True Phoenix Wings! How cool are those! Let me try them!" The Black Emperor charged toward Wang Teng with all his might, his mouth agape, wishing he could swallow the essence of the immortal phoenix in one gulp.

"Stop messing around! Didn't you see that the Undying Emperor and the Great Emperor Wushi have a very bad relationship? They seem to be enemies! If you really grow a pair of wings, would you have the nerve to face the Great Emperor Wushi in the future?" Ye Fan tightly grabbed the Black Emperor's tail, forcefully pulling the Black Emperor back, preventing it from taking another step.

"That seems to make sense... but I'm just a follower of the Great Emperor, so it's okay if I grow a pair of immortal phoenix wings. I even dare to show them off in front of the Undying Emperor!" Black Emperor roared, full of enthusiasm.

Ye Fan was speechless. This big black dog was simply too unscrupulous; even he didn't know how to describe it.

"Alright, this drop of essence blood is too extraordinary. It can't be given to others yet. I need to ask some powerful experts to examine whether there is any remnant of the Undying Emperor's will." Wang Teng put away the Undying Emperor's essence blood and said.

Black Emperor licked his lips regretfully, his eyes filled with remorse.

"Speaking of which..." the Holy Prince finally had a chance to speak, "Is the Immortal Emperor really still alive?"

This is what he cares about most.

The Immortal Emperor existed for an extremely long time, making him arguably the oldest emperor among the ancient races. If he were still alive, no one would know how powerful he was, or how crazy the other ancient races would be.

"He is definitely alive, but he is most likely trapped somewhere and cannot return in the short term. Otherwise, after I suppressed him at the same level and marked his own son, he would have a reason to come back."

Wang Teng spoke first.

This information is not hard to deduce. Of course, the most important thing is that it is all clearly stated in the original work, and Wang Teng remembers it clearly as well.

"The Immortal Emperor is indeed still alive!" the Holy Prince exclaimed in astonishment.

If this matter were to spread, countless ancient clans would go completely mad, and even the immortal old men in the forbidden zone might leave the forbidden zone altogether.

At that time, Wang Teng, the only one who has any connection with the Immortal Emperor, may face a great crisis.

"This matter must not be known to anyone, otherwise there will be great danger!" Ye Fan said.

The others nodded seriously, and even the Black Emperor, who had been drooling with impatience just moments before, became serious.

"Speaking of which, what should we do with this prince? If he's already been suppressed, leaving him here could lead to trouble at any moment... But if we're going to send him away, we need a suitable excuse..."

The Holy Prince pondered.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of ways." Wang Teng chuckled.

P.S.: Something came up and the update was delayed. A relative was scammed by a telecom fraudster, and we're discussing what to do.

Also, Chen Dong's new book will be released tomorrow at 10 AM, so please keep an eye out for it.
