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

Chapter 431 The Great Sage Bathes in Blood, Quasi-Emperor Tests Him

Ultimately, the quasi-emperor of the human race did not attend.

Because a powerful aura erupted outside a certain forbidden zone of life.

A mysterious expert, wielding a mysterious supreme imperial weapon, unleashed his power, confronting the powerful will that had previously appeared in the Holy City. A fierce battle almost broke out. A peerless expert roared, his voice shattering mountains and rivers. Even in the Yaochi Holy Land, hundreds of millions of miles away, the angry roar could be clearly heard.

"Times have truly changed! So much time has passed, yet the human race still possesses such powerful individuals!"

The person who spoke was a powerful being from a forbidden zone of life. Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, one could still hear the intense anger in his voice.

As a powerful being within the forbidden zone, he left the forbidden zone of life because of the matter of the Heavenly Emperor's son, and put pressure on the guy who once followed the Great Emperor Wushi, forcing him to hand over the Heavenly Emperor's son. However, on his way back to the forbidden zone of life, he was blocked at the door.

Moreover, the opponent came with overwhelming force, wielding an ultimate imperial weapon, exuding an aura of ready to attack at the slightest provocation.

Although he was fearless, thinking that at worst it would just be a battle, the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone was filled with anger.

Countless years have passed, and this is the first time he has been blocked outside the restricted area by others.

“Fellow Daoist, how about we have a chat at the Jade Pool Holy Land?” asked Gai Jiuyou, a quasi-emperor of the human race.

He came here not to target this ancient race's supreme being, nor to drag the other party into a fight to the death. He simply wanted to express the attitude of the human race. He was, after all, the strongest human race at present. If he did not step in, the human race would probably face great difficulties in this matter and would be suppressed by the ancient race in every way.

"You think you can take me?" The powerful will chuckled.

"With this very thing." The human quasi-emperor Gai Jiuyou remained unfazed, speaking with neither arrogance nor servility. In his hand, a large black cauldron appeared, and even before it was moved, countless black dragons coiled and roared, filling the sky. Their majestic gaze swept across the heavens, piercing through the clouds with a single glance, causing even the powerful being from the forbidden zone of life opposite him to abandon his contempt.

It wouldn't be enough for him to take a serious look if the other party was merely a strategist, but since the other party possessed an ultimate imperial weapon, he had no choice but to take it seriously.

If the other party is truly aiming for a fight to the death, then it's not just his wandering will that will be affected; even his physical body might be impacted, potentially causing him to miss out on the various opportunities of the upcoming golden age and the legendary path.

Therefore, even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone stopped at this moment and listened carefully to the voice of the Quasi-Emperor of the Human Race.

"Then let's go to the Jade Pool Holy Land for a discussion!" In the end, even this powerful figure from the forbidden zone of life compromised.

It's not the right time yet. If he were to reach the pinnacle of his abilities now, he would miss out on many things in the future, and his million-year plan would completely fall apart.

Therefore, even the ancient supreme beings stopped at this moment, indicating their willingness to discuss the revival of the ancient race with the human race.

Yaochi Holy Land.

There were already several ancient clans' great saints here, but now, with the arrival of a mysterious lord of a forbidden zone, there is one more powerful figure here, and the aura of the ancient clans has become even stronger.

However, the human race's quasi-emperor Gai Jiuyou also arrived. He looked incredibly old, but he brought the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron with him. Just by holding the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and standing there, the ancient race's creatures dared not underestimate him.

The Great Sage White Crane also landed at this moment, holding the Jade Pool in his hand. To the west of the Holy Land, the Imperial Tower stood beside the Human Race's Prime Minister, Earth Covering Nine Netherworlds, looking at the ancient races opposite.

Those ancient clans' great saints also breathed a sigh of relief. With the lord of the forbidden zone descending, this negotiation would be much simpler.

Everyone outside is waiting for the outcome of the negotiations, hoping that these negotiations will bring more benefits to the human race.

However, no one expected that the battle would break out before the negotiation results were available.

The cranes cried out, bursting forth with boundless celestial light; their pure white wings, like holy radiance, covered an area of ​​millions of miles.

On the other side, an ancient sage with wings on his back gave a light shout, spread his wings, and each wing was like a sharp heavenly blade, easily slicing through the void and shooting towards the crane sage.

The Great Sage of the Crane, who once followed the Great Emperor of Chaos, directly engaged in a great battle with a Great Sage of the Ancient Clan.

The moment the two sides made contact, they tore through the void, unleashing chaotic energy. Within the chaos, the true meaning of the Great Dao could be faintly seen flowing, and various strange phenomena from legends manifested.

If it weren't for the presence of two supreme imperial weapons and one ancient emperor weapon to deter the void, the moment the two sides clashed, everything within a radius of a million miles would have been destroyed.

"A battle on the outer battlefield!" roared the Great Sage from the forbidden zone of life.

"Let's fight!" The Great Sage Crane stood firm and fearless.

She once followed an ancient emperor and had recently killed a great sage who wanted to kill Wang Teng. The great sage's resentment still lingered on his wings. Therefore, when faced with the provocation of the ancient great sage, the Crane Great Sage was neither afraid nor backed down.

Before the other creatures watching from afar could react, they saw two streaks of light pierce through the heavens and the sky. In an instant, the two Great Saints rushed to the outer battlefield and engaged in the most intense battle.

Wings sweep across, swords resound. Each time wings sweep across the starry river, stars turn into dust. Each time sharp feathers shoot out, it is as if the sword of the Great Dao is cleaving across!
Beams of light pierced the sky, and even powerful figures standing on the ground could clearly see the fierce battle.

Just when everyone thought the battle would last a long time, a figure fell from the sky.

A pure white feather thousands of feet long transformed into a spear, piercing through the body of the ancient clan's Great Sage and pinning him alive from the battlefield outside the domain. He crashed heavily into the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness, creating a massive crater tens of thousands of feet deep!
The Great Sage's essence blood was scattered in mid-air, tearing the void apart and turning into one dark crack after another, frantically devouring everything around it. Mountains and clouds were swallowed by the cracks and turned into nothingness along with the Great Sage's essence blood!
"Roar!" The ancient clan's Great Sage roared in grief and indignation.

The thousand-foot-long spear that pierced his body was snapped in two by his roar, shattering in mid-air. One after another, pure white light points shot into the distance, piercing through the void, burning in mid-air, and turning into brilliant fire.

However, before the Great Sage of the Ancient Clan could even stand up, another thousand-foot-long white feather pierced through the sky and pinned the Great Sage of the Ancient Clan deep into the ground once again.

"No!" the ancient clan's Great Sage roared in pain, but there was nothing he could do.

The pure white feathers transformed into spears, shimmering with obscure and incomprehensible runes. These runes were the legacy of an ancient emperor, carrying the power of banishment. Once they pierced the body of that ancient saint, they began to devour the power within him!
The ancient sage roared and struggled desperately, but one after another, pure white feathers pierced the sky, forming a battle formation that almost completely sealed the ancient sage.

Just when most people thought it was a complete and utterly crushing battle, the Great Sage Crane also fell from the outer battlefield.

Her condition was also very bad.

Although the Great Sage Crane had the upper hand in this battle, with several pure white feathers transforming into spears that pierced through the body of the Ancient Clan Great Sage, the Great Sage Crane also had several blood-stained feathers on his body, almost piercing through his body, flowing with the remnants of the Great Dao, suppressing the life force within the Great Sage Crane.

Both sides were seriously injured and almost at their last gasp, but they did not stop even at this moment.

The Great Sage Crane let out a clear cry, flapped its wings, and transformed its body into a sharp sword, swooping down towards the Great Sage of the Ancient Clan on the ground.

At this point, it seemed like they were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

However, neither the lord of the forbidden zone of the ancient race nor the peerless quasi-emperor of the human race could stand by and watch their high-end combat power be lost for no reason at the very beginning of the negotiations. A large hand covered with cracks and wrinkles appeared, gently stopping the Great Sage Crane and taking him back to the Jade Pool Holy Land.

On the other hand, a powerful and domineering will emerged, enveloping the ancient clan's Great Sage and taking him away.

Holy blood still lingered in the air, slowly spreading to the ground, creating craters and emanating a dangerous aura.

"Let's stop here. Formal negotiations haven't even begun yet. It would be such a pity if the Great Sage were to perish because of this."

The powerful figure from the forbidden zone spoke, his voice filled with calm.

Behind him, the ancient sage with wings lowered his head and dared not speak.

“I share the same thought.” Gai Jiuyou, the peerless quasi-emperor of the human race, nodded in agreement.

The Great Sage of the Crane has an unusual background, related to an ancient emperor of the human race, and is also one of Wang Teng's protectors. No matter what, the Great Sage of the Crane cannot be allowed to have any accidents, otherwise he will not be able to explain it to Wang Teng.

"Although the ancient races have revived, their demands are not excessive. They merely want to occupy a certain area of ​​territory within their slumbering land. Apart from that, they will not invade human territory. Moreover, before their revival, the ancient races will remind humans to move away from there, so the situation that the junior Emperor Hengyu mentioned will never happen."

The powerful figure from the forbidden zone of life spoke.

"After all, the golden age is about to begin, and everyone has the same goal. There's no need to create unnecessary trouble, is there?" he continued, seemingly either talking to the human quasi-emperor before him or consoling himself.

"That rumor...that rumor has nothing to do with me. I only want to watch over humanity before my life comes to an end."

The peerless quasi-emperor Gai Jiuyou slowly opened his mouth, and his short sentence expressed his attitude to the powerful figure in front of him.

The supreme will from the forbidden zone of life did not speak upon hearing this, but simply nodded slowly.

"Let's make this a preliminary decision then. The specifics will depend on how the major human and ancient forces discuss it. To be honest, these things are no longer my concern, but I can't just watch my juniors revive without a place to settle down, can I?" The will of the supreme being from the forbidden zone of life spoke, expressing his attitude in the same way.

"I don't want to see the human race repeat the same mistakes," said the peerless quasi-emperor Gai Jiuyou calmly.

The atmosphere, which had eased somewhat, suddenly became tense again.

"With such a powerful figure presiding over this era, the human race can be considered to be blessed with great martial fortune. How about I, this old fellow, give him a few pointers?"

The will of the strongest being in the forbidden zone of life spoke.

"I couldn't ask for more!" The peerless quasi-emperor Gai Jiuyou nodded.

In an instant, the two disappeared from their original spot and appeared in a distant, desolate place.

This is a desolate star field untouched by any living being. It was once a huge battlefield countless years ago, and even after so many years, it remains unsuitable for habitation, with no living being ever set foot here.

The two peerless experts faced each other from afar. Although the one from the forbidden zone of life was merely a wisp of will, at their level, there was not much difference between a wisp of will and the real body taking action personally; both could unleash their full power.

"Fellow Daoist, please!" The supreme expert from the forbidden zone of life spoke, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Although he brought the ancient imperial weapon with him, he did not activate it.

The peerless quasi-emperor of the human race, Gai Jiuyou, slowly nodded.

He also brought the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron with him. This cauldron was personally given to him by the Holy Lord of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and it also had the aura of a junior he was very familiar with.

Of course, Gai Jiuyou did not fully activate the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Top. He brought the Dragon Pattern Black Eye only to intimidate the other party and prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.

This battle is unlikely to be a true fight to the death; it will most likely be a test of each other's approximate strength, in preparation for the upcoming negotiations.

At the edge of the desolate star field, several sages representing the interests of humanity and several ancient great saints from the forbidden zone of life also arrived. They dared not directly participate in a battle of this magnitude, but they could watch from afar and try to see if they could gain some inspiration from this battle.

The battle erupted in an instant.

The ancient emperor's will pushed the stars, using the universe as a whip, and swept across the desolate cosmos, creating vast expanses of starlight!

Every drop of starlight is a singularity where stars shatter and coalesce, and every point of starlight can slay a sage!
However, Gai Jiuyou remained unfazed by such a fierce attack. He slowly sat down cross-legged, and an ancient zither appeared before him at some unknown time.

The melodious sound of the guqin rang out. Even in the vacuum, the sound of the guqin, which was carried by fragments of the Great Dao, still transformed into tangible ripples, erasing the starlight.

This was a battle that surpassed even the Great Sage. Every strike shattered stars. Although the battle did not reach the edge of the universe, countless stars were shattered. The remains left on this desolate battlefield, which once belonged to the Great Sage or even stronger beings, were now turned to dust by the aftershocks of the battle.

A battle at the quasi-emperor level has begun, but the people of Beidou are unaware of it.

They could only sense that the powerful aura within the Jade Pool Holy Land vanished in an instant.

"Have the negotiations ended?"

Why is there no news?

"Have the humans gained the upper hand?"

Many people speculated, but no one was able to step forward and respond to their speculations.

Even the sacred land of Yaochi was unaware of what had happened.

Fortunately, this test quickly came to an end.

Then, a new message came out.

The ancient race is about to hold a so-called "Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Races" with the human race and other races, inviting major forces and powerful figures to sit down and discuss this matter.

However, the date for the All Races Conference has not yet been set, so it should not affect the opening of the Qishi Mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the sage from Qishi Mansion went directly to Wang Teng and Qi Hao.
