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

Upon hearing the aged voice, Wang Teng suddenly tensed up.

He found it unbelievable. What time of day is this? That old man shouldn't be out now, no matter what.
But he still glanced at it subconsciously.

Dozens of miles away, an old man dressed in coarse linen stood there. His face was full of wrinkles, as if he had just returned from working in the fields. He had a compassionate expression on his face, as if he couldn't bear to see the crowd make a scene.

The most crucial thing is the aura emanating from him!

Although it was well hidden, Wang Teng's Martial Arts Heavenly Eye could still see it clearly from the other party. The harmless and compassionate appearance was just a disguise!
This seemingly ordinary old farmer possesses immense power within him!
This old man was a cultivator, and his strength far surpassed that of Wang Teng.

Even among sages, this old man is one of the most powerful!

So everything is out in the open!

"Holy crap! The Great Sage Hun Tuo!"

Even Wang Teng couldn't help but utter a pure national treasure!

This guy!
It actually appeared!
But what time is it now?!
The middle and late stages of "Covering the Sky" haven't even arrived yet; at most, it can only be considered the early to mid-stages. This guy's early birth is way too early!

And the most crucial thing is that this guy actually said that sentence!
"What's wrong?" Yan Ruyu asked curiously.

This was the first time she had ever seen Wang Teng so out of control.

Even when facing an attack from ancient saints during his tribulation, he had never lost his composure like this.

But now Wang Teng seemed to have witnessed something he himself could not believe!
"There's no time to explain, I have to go and break up the fight!" Wang Teng said, immediately getting up and rushing into the fray.

If it was previously said that this was the end of the matter between the demon race and the Ji family, and that they could fight as they pleased with each other, at most some bloodshed would occur and then it would stop, and no one would actually die.

But things are different now. Even Hun Tuo has appeared. Not to mention the death of one person, if this matter is left unattended, it is uncertain whether any of the four people will survive!
This person, whom even Emperor Ye Tian considered a jinx, should not be underestimated!
Wang Teng's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

Wang Teng had been quietly watching from the sidelines, which made the others think that he was tacitly allowing the group to fight and then shake hands and make peace, without harming the harmony of the younger generation.

But now that Wang Teng has appeared, they feel something is off.

The battle is still ongoing, but so far there has been no major bloodshed. It would be too early to stop it now.

Moreover, the old farmer in the distance who was trying to mediate the fight made them feel that something was amiss.

Despite being so far apart, they could clearly hear the old farmer's words, which made them feel that the old farmer was quite extraordinary.

On the battlefield, the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King and Ji Haoyue fought to the death, while the Southern Demon and the Holy Son of Yaoguang also engaged in a fierce battle.

The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, and this is a situation that had not even occurred a moment ago. It is clear that because of that one sentence, their battle has escalated again!

"Stop!" Wang Teng shouted to stop everyone as soon as he rushed into the battlefield.

The best decision is to pull these people away before the inexplicable power of the rules fully dissipates; otherwise, if they continue fighting, someone will definitely perish in the end.

“Brother Wang! Step aside, this is between me and the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King.” Ji Haoyue was the first to speak.

After emerging from the family's trials, his strength was far greater than before.

However, the little dragon king in green dared to provoke him, which made him very unhappy. He was determined to fight the little dragon king in green to prove his strength as the Eastern Wilderness Divine Body.

"Brother Wang, would you also like to join our battle?" Yao Guang Holy Son asked with a light laugh from the side.

He was eager to try, and it was obvious that he also wanted to drag Wang Teng into this battle.

The little dragon king in green didn't speak, but the fighting spirit in his eyes said it all.

Although the Southern Demon had restrained himself somewhat, he couldn't withstand the fact that the Holy Son of Yao Guang hadn't stopped, so the two of them were still fighting.

"Enough!" Wang Teng's eyebrows twitched.

The old man not far away still looked compassionate, and judging from his posture, he was clearly going to continue trying to mediate the fight.

How could Wang Teng possibly let the other party speak? If he did, this matter would definitely not be so easy to resolve.

Therefore, Wang Teng took direct action.

As he unleashed the Sea of ​​Wheels technique, a phantom river of time appeared behind him. With his attack, the river behind him ceased its flow, and the thousand-foot space around Wang Teng seemed to freeze in place. Time itself became meaningless within this area; everything stood still.

Even the four prodigies who were fighting stopped in their tracks.

"We can talk about it later. Today's battle ends here!" Wang Teng said, his large hand falling down and directly suppressing the four people.

Of the four people, three struggled, but to no avail.

They were abandoned by time and space, completely trapped in this space-time, while that giant hand, like a great ship that broke through time and space, sailed from the place that had never changed since ancient times, suppressing them below.

The whole process was smooth and effortless; in less than a breath, the four were suppressed by Wang Teng.

From beginning to end, the four people didn't even have a chance to resist.

The power of time directly imprisoned them, while Wang Teng's powerful methods suppressed them in an instant.

So while others were still expecting Wang Teng to join the melee, Wang Teng had already single-handedly stopped the fight.

"Is that all?" A genius from Zhongzhou asked in disbelief.

He had just been looking forward to them fighting so he could guess how strong Wang Teng was and how much of his power he would unleash against an opponent like Nan Yao.

However, no one expected that the battle would end the moment Wang Teng entered the battlefield!
Even if those four people were only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, and Wang Teng was a powerful expert at the Sendai Realm, the gap between them shouldn't be this big!

Each of those four individuals was capable of fighting against a peak-level expert in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even a first-level expert in the Immortal Platform Realm would not necessarily fare well against them if they joined forces.

They had originally guessed that even if the four of them combined couldn't defeat Wang Teng, they should at least be able to hold out for a while.

But in reality, they couldn't even hold on for a single breath, let alone a moment!
"This... Wang Teng's strength has become so great now!" A prince of the Jiuli Dynasty stared wide-eyed in shock, speaking in disbelief.

When Wang Teng first entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he had competed with one of his elder brothers for top-grade dragon marrow in the underground palace, but Wang Teng did not appear this powerful back then.

The four people Wang Teng is currently facing include one of the strongest young generation from the Southern Ridge, a title bestowed upon him by the name "Southern Demon," a testament to his immense power. Yet, even so, Wang Teng effortlessly suppressed the Southern Demon and three other powerful individuals comparable to himself!
This was unexpected by everyone.

Everyone knows how powerful Wang Teng is, and they all respectfully call him the Northern Emperor. They all believe that he is comparable to the Young Emperor. However, no one expected that Wang Teng would suppress four famous experts so easily.

"Brother Wang's strength has increased even more!" The successor of Tian Sha exclaimed excitedly.

Some people were filled with shock and despair.

The shock comes from Wang Teng's immense power, and the despair stems from the fact that such a powerful person lived in the same era as them.

Now it seems that if it weren't for the opportunities on the Ancient Starry Road, they wouldn't even need to go to the starry sky anymore, because with Wang Teng there, that position is practically already reserved for them in the future.

It's not that they don't want to fight back, but there's still a huge gap between them!
Even those four powerful beings were suppressed by Wang Teng with one hand, let alone them!

"Stop fighting. A futile battle is meaningless. If you really have any grievances, let's set foot on the ancient starry road one day and see who goes further to determine your strength. We are all strong individuals who came from the same region; there's no need to fight to the death from the start."

Wang Teng spoke up, trying to comfort the four people in his arms.
There was no way around it; these guys were just too eager for battle. If he didn't intervene, bloodshed might occur. And with the Great Sage Hun Tuo involved, if he still didn't intervene, it would be more than just bloodshed.

Any one of these four people would be of great use to him. What Wang Teng said was true; he didn't want to see these people fight amongst themselves and die at the hands of their own people.

"Thank goodness, at least they didn't fight after all."

The old farmer not far away breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, as if he had solved a huge problem.

Some people couldn't help but take a look at the old man.

What's there to be thankful for? If Wang Teng hadn't intervened, those guys would have fought even harder!
Wang Teng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't let this unlucky guy say a second word. Otherwise, even if he had been the one to take action, there would probably have been bloodshed.

"Brother Wang, why did you suddenly stop us and prevent us from continuing our attack?" Nan Yao asked.

Despite being easily suppressed by Wang Teng, he felt no frustration or dissatisfaction.

He knew perfectly well that the difference in strength between him and Wang Teng was obvious, as they were separated by a whole realm. Therefore, his defeat was inevitable. Even if he were to face someone at the Four Extremes Secret Realm in his current state, Wang Teng could easily suppress him with a wave of his hand.

The more talented someone is, the greater the gap between each level of achievement will be.

Therefore, geniuses can easily suppress their opponents across boundaries, while the weak can only be suppressed across boundaries.

"Everyone can just spar casually; there's no need for bloodshed."

Wang Teng chuckled and spoke.

Although some people disagreed, they were helpless in the face of Wang Teng and could only nod in agreement.

Thus, the battle between the four prodigies was forced to end. Some people were very disappointed, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't just rush up and ask Wang Teng to release the four so that they could continue fighting.

After everything returned to calm, Wang Teng slowly walked over to the old farmer not far away.

Of course, during this process, Wang Teng also brought back the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon and the bronze ring appeared on his hand. Whenever anything went wrong, he would immediately go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for refuge.

However, someone was one step ahead of Wang Teng.

The lord of Qishi Mansion came out in person.

"Senior, are you the legendary Great Sage Hun Tuo?" asked the Lord of Qishi Mansion.

Almost the instant the old farmer spoke, he sensed something was wrong. Just as he was about to make a move, Wang Teng acted decisively and rushed over without any hesitation.

Then the fight was mediated, and he came out to look at the old farmer.

"Indeed, this must be the Central Plains' Extraordinary Scholar's Residence, right?" The old farmer smiled, revealing a simple and honest smile, and asked.

The people around were shocked to learn that this seemingly ordinary old farmer was actually a great sage.

In the past, they had rarely seen even a Great Sage, let alone a Dao-Slaying King. But now, a living Great Sage appeared right in front of them, which they found incredible.

"Indeed. Senior, your arrival is too late. We hope you will forgive us." The Lord of Qishi Mansion said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Hun Tuo Dasheng waved his hand casually, looking completely unconcerned. Then he looked at Wang Teng and asked, "This is the famous Northern Emperor Wang Teng, right?"

Upon hearing Hun Tuo Da Sheng's words, the Master of Qi Shi Mansion felt his heart skip a beat.

This is an ancient sage who was already famous in the Primordial Era. If this person harbors hostility towards Wang Teng and suddenly makes a move, even he might not be able to protect Wang Teng.

“Indeed, junior greets senior.” Wang Teng nodded and said.

"Very good little fellow, your talent and strength are both very strong. I see some of the shadow of the ancient emperor in you. Keep up the good work, and you may be able to write a legend in the future." Great Sage Hun Tuo nodded and said with a smile, and patted Wang Teng on the shoulder to show his encouragement.

This was within Wang Teng's expectations. After all, in the original work, the Great Sage Hun Tuo was not the kind of vicious Great Sage. On the contrary, every time he appeared, he had a strong comedic element, especially his line, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down and peace is the most important thing."

However, when this statement is used in one's own camp or by someone close to them, it's not so funny.

"Senior is a great saint of the ancient clan, why have you awakened now?" Wang Teng asked humbly and confidently.

Upon hearing this, even the head of the Qishi Mansion couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, as if this guy was questioning the Great Sage Hun Tuo.

However, the Great Sage Hun Tuo was not angry. Instead, he explained seriously, "Alas, isn't it because of the negotiations between the ancient race and the human race? There is still no definite answer, and some conflicts have broken out. So a fellow Daoist from the Myriad Dragon Nest woke me up, wanting me to organize the negotiations to prevent the conflict from escalating further."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng's eyes lit up. "Was it the creatures of the Myriad Dragon Nest that awakened you, senior?"

"Yes." Great Sage Hun Tuo nodded again. (End of Chapter)
