Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

However, they soon encountered obstacles.

Ye Fan triggered the Emperor's Tribulation, and ninety-nine layers of thunder sea converged, unleashing billions of bolts of lightning with boundless power.

He activated his Ancient Sacred Body, burned his golden blood, and wielded the Cauldron of Mother Qi of All Things, attempting to tear apart the Heavenly Heart Mark and achieve the Great Emperor Dao Fruit.

But at that moment, a dense chaotic energy suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Heart Mark, transforming into an ancient iron curtain that blocked his path.

This chaotic energy is precisely Wang Mingyuan's Daoist essence.

Now he is the Chaos Emperor, and the Heavenly Heart Mark has long been integrated with his Chaos Dao. If he wants to become a Great Emperor, he must first break through his Dao barrier.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyuan's Dao is so powerful!"

Ye Fan was shocked, but he did not back down.

He let out a long roar, unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Emperor Fist, which, in conjunction with the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things, forcefully slammed into the Chaos Dao Barrier.

With a deafening roar, the starry sky trembled and countless paths shattered. Ye Fan was forced back by the force of the backlash from the Dao barrier, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.

The situation of the Holy Prince was almost the same.

He wielded his black iron cudgel, and the supreme fighting spirit of the Fighting Saint Ape clan transformed into tangible flames that burned the void.

With a single strike, stars shattered, the Milky Way reversed, and the staff crashed heavily onto the Chaos Barrier.

However, the barrier remained unmoved, but the force of the recoil made his bones crack, and his crimson hair was stained with blood, making him look disheveled. Yet, he remained fearless and continued to strike with his staff.

God King Jiang Taixu triggered an imperial calamity in the Eternal Starfield. The Hengyu Scripture Culture created a crimson chain, which wrapped around the Heavenly Heart Mark, attempting to forcibly refine it.

But the chaotic energy was as deep as the ocean and instantly swallowed up the crimson chains. Jiang Taixu was struck hard, his white clothes stained with blood, and he staggered backward.

He gazed at the indestructible Chaos Dao Barrier and sighed deeply, “The Emperor’s Path is fraught with peril. Only today do I realize that Fellow Daoist Mingyuan’s realm is far beyond ours.”

Dongfang Taiyi summoned the true fire of the sun, burning heaven and earth, attempting to break through the Dao barrier with the power of the flames, but it was easily extinguished by the chaotic energy.
Even when the Victorious Fighting Buddha combined his Buddha-light with his fighting spirit and unleashed his full power, he could only leave a barely perceptible mark on the barrier.

Gu Tianshu unleashed his sword energy, shattering the starry sky, yet it still couldn't shake the Chaos Dao Barrier in the slightest.

More than ten unconventional cultivators attempted to reach the Emperor Realm, but all failed. Although their foundations were not damaged, they still suffered enormous losses.

They hovered in the starry sky, gazing at the Heavenly Heart Mark filled with chaotic energy, their eyes filled with helplessness and resentment.

All of this was observed by Wang Mingyuan, who stood atop Baiyujing.

He stood with his hands behind his back, chaotic energy flowing slowly around him, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

He did not intervene because he knew that this was a necessary trial for Ye Fan and the others.

Only by experiencing the suppression of obstacles and tasting the bitterness of failure can they truly understand the difficulty of the path to becoming an emperor, and only then can they truly shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the universe in future great battles.

He didn't even try to suppress his own innate traits; instead, he let the Heavenly Heart Mark suppress them normally.

“You are all outstanding individuals. Only by breaking down the old and building up the new can you achieve the true Dao fruit of the Great Emperor.”

Wang Mingyuan spoke softly, his voice penetrating the chaotic energy and reaching the ears of every unorthodox Daoist.

"This obstacle is both a test and an opportunity. Whether you can seize it depends entirely on yourselves."

Upon hearing Wang Mingyuan's words, Ye Fan and the others felt a chill run down their spines, and the resentment in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by determination.

They understood that Wang Mingyuan was not intentionally making things difficult for them, but rather paving the way for them.

At this moment, everyone stopped being in a hurry to succeed and chose to retreat to a quiet place to heal and recuperate, summarize their experiences, and wait for the next opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Just as Ye Fan and the others were focusing on their cultivation, preparing to break through to the Emperor Realm once again, Wang Mingyuan had quietly left Baiyujing and stepped into the Chaos Sea on the edge of the universe.

He sat cross-legged in the depths of the Chaos Sea, surrounded by billions of chaotic currents. In his mind, fragments of memories of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King kept emerging.

Since attaining the Dao of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, these memory fragments have become increasingly active. Now, sensing the crisis of the barrier between the two realms and the opportunity for their own breakthrough, these memory fragments are surging in like a tidal wave.

In the long river of memory, the scenes of the Immortal King conquering the Boundary Sea and fighting against the dark turmoil are still vivid in my mind.

He saw the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King wielding the Reincarnation Disc, battling fiercely with several Dark Immortal Kings, their blood staining the Boundary Sea;
Seeing the Immortal King use his supreme power to open up the six realms of reincarnation and protect all the heavens and myriad worlds;

Don't let the final confrontation with the alien realm lead to your eventual demise due to a relentless onslaught.

Besides these battle scenes, secrets about the origin of chaos are also gradually becoming clear.

"Chaos gives birth to all things, and also imprisons all things..."

Wang Mingyuan muttered to himself, a look of enlightenment flashing in his eyes.

He sensed that although the Chaos Body was the strongest physique since the beginning of time, containing the power to create the world, it also contained the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

Chaos represents "nothingness," the origin of all things, while the Great Emperor needs to govern "existence," control the rules of heaven and earth, and protect a region of the universe.

Although he is now the Chaos Emperor with unparalleled combat power, the shackles of his Chaos Body restrict his further breakthroughs.

To truly transcend this realm and reach the level of a Mortal Immortal or even higher, to fight against Mortal Immortals in strange worlds, and even to cope with potentially greater crises in the future, he must break free of these shackles.

"Chaos is a boat; after crossing the sea of ​​suffering, one should abandon the boat and go ashore."

That was the judgment Wang Mingyuan made based on his observation of the memories of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King.

This is also a summary made by Wang Mingyuan after understanding the paths taken by the Ruthless Great Emperor and Ye Fan.

"The mortal body is the foundation upon which all laws are contained. Only by severing chaos and returning to the mortal body can one reach the supreme realm of 'nothingness' and transcend all constraints."

Wang Mingyuan suddenly realized that he had expected all of this.

In fact, the corresponding information can be found in one's memory.

There are also related memories in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King's memories.

In the early stages, various unique bloodlines and constitutions can be of great help, but in the later stages, they can create certain limitations that need to be overcome by oneself.

In the end, a truly special physique is less useful than the purest, most special mortal body, which has no special characteristics.

"But this 'mortal body' is not the mortal body that many ordinary people think it is."

Instead, it's a mortal body with all its stats maxed out, but without any special bloodline restrictions or effects.

In fact, such mortal bodies are even more special and powerful than chaotic bodies…

"Severing his chaotic body, he used a mortal form to prove the Dao..."

To be precise, it should be the special effect of dissolving the chaotic body within the body, meaning that every move is accompanied by the myriad paths of the heavens.

Only the most special and purest power.

Only the numerical values ​​remain; the related mechanisms and special effects have been removed.

With this thought in mind, Wang Mingyuan no longer hesitated. He activated the Chaos Dao throughout his body, chanting incantations that resounded throughout the Chaos Sea.

In an instant, the entire chaotic sea boiled, and billions of chaotic streams surged into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

His body kept expanding and contracting, emanating a terrifying pressure.

All the heavens and myriad paths trembled, and a vast and mighty chaotic energy permeated several star fields.

Ye Fan and the others, far away in the Big Dipper Star Region, all felt the terrifying fluctuations coming from the depths of the Chaos Sea.

They looked up and saw chaotic energy rising into the sky from the edge of the universe, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

Within the pillar of light, a figure could be vaguely seen constantly shifting, sometimes as vast as the universe, sometimes as small as a speck of dust.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyuan, what... are you doing?"

Ye Fan was shocked. He could sense that Wang Mingyuan's aura was undergoing a tremendous change, with both the rage of chaotic energy and an extremely pure, unadorned aura being nurtured.

"That's... the fluctuation of a self-severing physique!"

Jiang Taixu's expression changed drastically.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyuan actually intends to sever his Chaos Body? This is simply defying the heavens!"

The God King Jiang Taixu had severed his own origin, so he was most sensitive to this kind of fluctuation and quickly made a judgment.

But at this moment, he felt extremely incredulous, because Wang Mingyuan had only been an emperor for a little over a hundred years, maybe two hundred years.

The time is too short; how could one possibly need to sever their own essence in such a short period of time?
The reason he severed his life force after living for over four thousand years was because he was nearly at his wit's end.

If you don't sever your very essence, you simply can't survive.

On the other hand, it is also because he has already comprehended the many changes of the God King Body. Cutting off the origin will actually bring him a new life and a completely new change.

Where else can you find someone like Wang Mingyuan, who possesses the best physique in history, yet he has to be killed in such a short time? Is this enough time for him to comprehend?

"Could it be because of the pressure from this strange world that he needs to break through at such an urgent time?"

As this thought arose, the expressions of God King Jiang Taixu and the other figures were not very good, and they felt a great deal of pressure.

Everyone was shocked by Wang Mingyuan's actions, and their hearts were filled with worry and admiration.

They knew that Wang Mingyuan was doing this to fight the impending crisis and to protect this universe.

Deep within the Chaos Sea, Wang Mingyuan's body had transformed into a black hole that devoured light, with billions of streams of chaotic energy constantly surging in and being refined by him.

His chaotic origins were being stripped away bit by bit, and with each stripped away, he had to endure excruciating pain, as if his soul were being pierced by thousands of steel needles.

The main problem is that the time was too short and too fast. Even if he had the memories of a Celestial King, he would still have to endure the related pain and torment to complete the breakthrough in a short period of time.

Despite the immense pain, he persevered through gritted teeth, his eyes unwavering.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the memories of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King constantly emerged, providing him with power and guidance.

He saw that his primordial chaos, in the process of being stripped away, transformed into countless scenes, including mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, insects, fish, the sun, moon, and stars. This was the reverse process of chaos transforming into all things.

As time passed, the fluctuations in the Chaos Sea became more and more intense, and Wang Mingyuan's aura grew weaker and weaker.

His chaotic body was constantly dissipating, the chaotic energy gradually fading away, replaced by an extremely faint yet incredibly pure mortal aura. And within the galaxy where he severed his chaotic body, a vast star field was even born, naturally formed from boundless chaotic energy, with an ancient life-bearing star at its very core.

Its essence of heaven and earth seems inexhaustible, and its potential is vast and boundless.

If someone cultivates there, they will naturally become close to all the myriad paths of the heavens. For anyone, it is a sacred place for cultivation.

Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, when the last trace of chaotic origin was stripped away, Wang Mingyuan's body shuddered violently, and his black hole-like figure vanished instantly.

He collapsed into the chaotic sea, his black hair had turned gray, his face was as pale as paper, and his breath was extremely weak, no different from that of an ordinary mortal.

However, his gaze grew increasingly profound, as if it contained the birth and death of the entire universe.

At this moment, he appeared weak and frail, but he had truly broken free from the shackles of the Chaos Body, returned to the mortal body, and touched the supreme realm of "nothingness".

Although his body was mortal, it could contain all laws, and his Dao became purer and more vast.

Boundless essence flowed into his body, causing him to grow rapidly in a very short time.

Wang Mingyuan actively suppressed the most steadfast and unwavering Heavenly Heart Mark above his head.

At this moment, even the most powerful experts could sense that the overwhelming and terrifying suppression had disappeared.

"Success..."

Wang Mingyuan said softly, his voice weak but tinged with a hint of relief.

He could sense that although his realm had not directly improved, his potential was limitless, and the road ahead had become even wider.

The moment he returned to his mortal form, Ye Fan, Jiang Taixu, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and others, who were far away in Baiyujing, Beidou Starfield, and Yongheng Starfield, all felt a sense of connection.

They all looked toward the Chaos Sea, a sense of awe rising within them, and they couldn't help but want to bow down in worship.

This was not something Wang Mingyuan did intentionally, but rather an instinctive reaction resulting from the overwhelming difference in their life levels.

They understood that Wang Mingyuan had undergone a tremendous transformation, and his level of attainment was far beyond their comprehension.

Wang Mingyuan meditated in the Chaos Sea for several days, and his condition improved more and more until he was no different from an ordinary mortal.

He stood up, his steps steady as an ordinary person's, and slowly walked towards Baiyujing.

Without the surrounding chaotic energy and the oppressive power of the emperor, he looked like an ordinary young man.

But with each step taken, it was as if he were stepping on a node in time and space, calming the chaotic sea and causing the starry sky to tremble.

As he approached the barrier between the two worlds once more, his gaze swept over the spiderweb-like cracks.

A miracle occurred: the cracks that were spreading continuously froze briefly under his gaze!

Deep within the rift, the mortal immortal of that strange world sensed this and stared at Wang Mingyuan across the world barrier.

He vaguely sensed that this direction indicated the presence of an extraordinary figure, someone who wanted to stop him.

But in the end, he just chuckled lightly, not taking it to heart.

Wang Mingyuan is extremely extraordinary and is still growing rapidly, but he is ultimately not a mortal immortal.

The relevant aura and coordinates have already been grasped by that peerless Celestial Venerable who mended the heavens; the current situation is merely a temporary delay.

Wang Mingyuan calmly withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards Bai Yujing.

He knew this was only temporary; the immortals and emperors of this strange world would never let it go, and the real storm was yet to come.

Upon returning to Baiyujing, Ye Fan, Jiang Taixu, Dongfang Taiyi, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Gu Tianshu, and more than ten other unconventional Daoists were already waiting for them.

Seeing Wang Mingyuan's seemingly ordinary appearance, they felt even greater respect for him and stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyuan, you..."

Ye Fan hesitated, unable to speak. He could sense the aura of returning to simplicity emanating from Wang Mingyuan, but he didn't know how to ask.

Wang Mingyuan waved his hand, indicating that everyone should refrain from saying anything more.

He walked to the main seat in Baiyujing and sat down. His gaze swept calmly over everyone, and he slowly said, "The crisis at the barrier between the two worlds is more serious than we imagined."

The immortals of the strange world and many emperor-level figures are joining forces to erode the barrier.

According to my calculations, the barrier may crumble in a few decades, at which point they will lead a large army to invade across the border.

Decades!
Everyone's heart sank.

Decades may be a long time for ordinary people, but for these cultivators, it is just a blink of an eye.

After all, these people present had all reached the level of unorthodox enlightenment, and with the assistance of the Heavenly Man Divine Transformation Scripture, their physiques could be considered extremely powerful.

They are all the most outstanding physiques and physical strengths in the world.

In terms of lifespan alone, they could probably approach 10,000 years.

An unconventional ancient holy body like Ye Fan's, which leads to enlightenment, can even have a lifespan exceeding ten thousand years, truly making him just like an ordinary Great Emperor.

If one wants to break through to the Great Emperor realm within a few decades, or even prepare for war, time is extremely tight.

"Decades is enough."

Wang Mingyuan's gaze fell on Ye Fan and the others, and he spoke in a firm tone.

"I have severed my chaotic body and returned to my mortal body. The chaotic barrier on the Heavenly Heart Mark no longer corresponds to me, and I will continue to suppress it from now on."

From now on, the obstacles to your breakthrough to the Emperor Realm will be greatly reduced.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and the others' eyes immediately lit up with a brilliant light.

They understood the enormous price Wang Mingyuan had paid for them and for this universe.

If someone were to break through the Heavenly Heart Mark of a great emperor and attain the Dao to become an emperor, it would be an unparalleled disgrace for that first and foremost righteous figure.

It will become a laughing stock throughout ancient history.

Why did the Boundless Heavenly Venerable in the mythological era, when facing the Chaos Body, almost perish but still manage to kill it beforehand? Perhaps this was one of his considerations.

The Golden Crow Emperor, who lived in the same era as Ye Fan, became a complete laughingstock.

Wang Mingyuan didn't care about this at all.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Mingyuan!"

Everyone bowed deeply, their hearts filled with gratitude.

Wang Mingyuan nodded slightly and continued, "The strange world is full of powerful people, and there are many emperors. If I want to contend with them, I alone am far from enough."

Decades later, I will need a group of great emperors to emerge from among you, to fight alongside me against foreign enemies and protect this land!

"We will certainly not fail in our mission!"

Ye Fan spoke first, his voice strong and clear.

His eyes blazed with fighting spirit. Having experienced previous defeats and with Wang Mingyuan's help, they were even more confident this time.

Putting aside everything else, the most advanced scriptures and secret techniques in Baiyujing are open to them. Compared to the ancient emperors of past dynasties, they are standing on the shoulders of giants.

Even the path to Nirvana beyond the Great Emperor is recorded in detail in Baiyujing.

Putting aside everything else, the secret method of enlightenment related to Wang Mingyuan's sudden enlightenment has already been engraved on the surface of the body as soon as he completed the stage of transforming from a chaotic body to a mortal.

The method by which the God King Jiang Taixu severed his own origin and lived a second life is also fully recorded in this book.

At the same time, the method of the Feathered Emperor transforming into a Holy Spirit and then being reborn by the Holy Spirit is also fully recorded.

There is also the most unique Nirvana, the Phoenix Nirvana.

Not to mention that Wang Mingyuan has directly pointed out that the path to immortality is right in front of us, and even decades later, it is suspected that an immortal will attack us.

This clear direction for the future gives them unprecedented confidence and fills them with anticipation for what lies ahead.

The Holy Prince, Jiang Taixu, Dongfang Taiyi, and others also expressed their opinions, their tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at the determined eyes of everyone, Wang Mingyuan felt a little gratified.

He knew that with such outstanding individuals around, the Great Universe of Shrouding the Heavens was not without a chance of victory.

Not to mention that he was able to block the largest one, and they weren't without help on their side.

"Go, seize the time to cultivate. Decades later, I will be waiting for you at the barrier between the two worlds."

Wang Mingyuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Ye Fan and the others did not linger. They transformed into streaks of light and left Baiyujing, heading to their respective cultivation grounds.

They must race against time to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible and prepare for the upcoming great battle.

At the summit of Baiyujing, Wang Mingyuan stood alone, gazing at the two-world barrier in the far west of the universe, his eyes gleaming with a profound light.

He knew that the next few decades would be both peaceful and tense.

Ye Fan and the others need to break through to the Emperor Realm, and he also needs to use these decades to consolidate his own realm and further improve himself rapidly.

The mortal immortals of this strange world, the undying emperors, and the massive army of emperors—all of these pose a tremendous threat.

But Wang Mingyuan felt no fear, only boundless fighting spirit and unwavering belief.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the primordial power of the Chaos Sea poured into the vast universe, further strengthening the rules of heaven and earth.

At the same time, he closed his eyes, immersed himself in the memories of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King, comprehended the ultimate Dao from the Immortal King, and explored the ultimate mystery of mortals attaining the Dao.

The Void God Realm connects heaven and earth, allowing him to have boundless insights even on this ancient star of life that he created, and to communicate and interact with many people around him across heaven and earth.

His first priority in establishing communication was to identify the vast universe left behind from the chaotic ancient era. (End of Chapter)
