Covering the sky: Starting from the Golden Crow of the Holy Cliff

Chapter 158 Azure Emperor, hand over the Immortal Cauldron, and I will send you to your next life!
"boom!"

The Chaos Bell above Yan Ming's head spun, its power overwhelming mountains and rivers. Thirteen heavenly palaces hung high above, each with a small figure sitting cross-legged, exuding terrifying immortal mist.

The Emperor's spirit is watching over us!
After the thirteen palaces of Sendai were opened, his primordial spirit seemed to illuminate the past, present, and future. Flame flowers, wood flowers, and soul flowers gathered at the top, as if he were coming from the long river of time.

"Hey!"

At this moment, he moved with the speed of the clouds, his words were incredibly fast, and the black gourd beneath his feet violently trembled, a wisp of chaotic immortal light shot out, playing the sound of immortal demise, like the prelude to opening a chapter of mythology, shaking the mortal world.

A ray of sword light, battling against a quasi-emperor!

"Does a Great Sage think he can defy the heavens with just a special ancient imperial weapon?"

The Divine Essence Quasi-Emperor's hair was disheveled, and most of the joy he had felt upon obtaining the Imperial Mace and Imperial Map had vanished, leaving only coldness.

Its voice shook the heavens, like an invincible human being who came from the age of mythology, its body shrouded in one true dragon after another, mysterious and terrifying, its killing intent sweeping across the sky, causing the universe to collapse.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the aura of the ancient celestial beings permeated the air, and a Dao diagram tore through the universe, unleashing a powerful aura that shook heaven and earth, causing all the stars to tremble.

This is the culmination of the Immortal Ruins over the past year, and it is more powerful than the Tribulation Killing Array that was manifested before. It is forged entirely from quasi-emperor level materials, and even contains phoenix blood and crimson gold. The crimson glow is dreamlike and intoxicating, but this beauty is mixed with unparalleled killing intent, which can really harm quasi-emperors.

"A formation diagram of this level..."

Some were shocked, not expecting that Sacred Cliff had such a foundation. The rare materials within were so rare that even searching the four extremes of the world might not yield such a result. This divine array diagram could overwhelm even a Great Sage, because it was engraved with an ultimate killing array, and it had been developed to an extremely high level.

Even the elderly man was somewhat lost in thought, staring at the array diagram for a moment, and then discovered the aura of the secret of character formation within it, which made him unable to calm down.

"If it were a complete array diagram, it would be quite impressive, but it's so incomplete!" The Holy Spirit, dressed in the ancient emperor's robes, remained expressionless, his eyes growing colder.

With a boom, he demonstrated his power through his actions. He didn't even need to use the ultimate imperial weapon. With a single finger, he unleashed a chain of order that spread across the sky. Imperial aura truly spread, shaking all directions. Even the universe and galaxies resonated and trembled. He was unafraid of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, this ancient imperial weapon.

"It's begun! It's comparable to an ancient supreme being! It truly is a great emperor!"

"It's over. How can we stop such power? The destruction of Holy Cliff is imminent."

The BeiDou system caused an uproar, and countless people were revived and were paying close attention to this battle because its impact was enormous.

Even though the end of the Dharma has not completely dissipated, an invincible emperor has actually attained enlightenment. Upon his birth, he obtained two imperial artifacts and intended to suppress and kill the Lord of Sacred Cliff.

However, a sudden change occurred, and the quasi-emperor who had just unleashed a terrifying aura froze as if struck by lightning.

His body was ice-cold, as if he were being stared at by a colossal being, as if a true emperor was looking down upon him. Since the moment he developed consciousness, he had almost forgotten this feeling, and a sense of fear arose deep within him, making his whole body feel cold.

What was going on? He couldn't control himself and involuntarily retreated, quickly withdrawing all his power. He was furious, and his dragon energy surged even more violently.

Then, he saw a magnificent man emerge from the blue lotus and walk step by step ashore from the lake. In the depths of his eyes were scenes of creation and the birth of the universe, which were infinitely profound.

A piece of green copper, stained with rust, hung above his head, rising with him into the air, above the gods.

"Qingdi!"

"The Azure Emperor is not dead! He's still alive!"

Demon lords cried out in alarm, and ancient kings exclaimed in shock, all turning pale with horror. The Demon Emperor had only been dead for ten thousand years, yet a top-tier power possessed his portrait. This magnificent man was undoubtedly the Azure Emperor; there was no doubt about it.

"The Azure Emperor has always been alive..." The old man's eyes held the flickering of stars.

"It's our ancestor, he's back!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed in astonishment. Her body glowed on its own, and a golden road stretched out, carrying her forward at high speed.

Behind the Nine Phoenix King, a Dharma form manifested, with a bird's beak holding a chaotic ancient lotus, its wings reaching the sky and obscuring a large portion of the heavens, its aura stirring all the heavens.

"Azure Emperor!" On the ancient dragon chariot, the Divine Essence Holy Spirit's expression changed, and he subconsciously countered. The golden mace in his hand and the Nine Li Diagram on his back were rapidly reviving, and the imperial might was surging.

All the birds and beasts within the Central Plains cried out in anguish, and even those far away prostrated themselves, utterly powerless to resist, and continuously bowed in worship.

Those present, standing close by, felt the terror even more acutely. Almost everyone knelt down, trembling uncontrollably. Apart from the domain controlled by the Azure Emperor, only a few Great Saints wielding Imperial Artifacts could barely hold on; the rest of the region shook violently like a raging torrent.

At this moment, all spirits are emptied. The Holy Spirit nurtured by the ancestral root of the Central Plains is solemn, with only one person in its eyes. There are countless ants in the mortal world, but very few true kindred spirits. This is the pride of a peerless powerhouse, savoring loneliness in the highest order.

He had a high opinion of himself, but he did not look down on those who had attained enlightenment in the past.

"Gods vanish like dust in the Ganges, I am the immortal emperor of the Central Plains!" The god-like being on the dragon chariot, glowing brightly, spoke first.

"A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky."

The Azure Emperor remained calm, the green copper block hovering silently above his head. After he appeared, the Cai family ancestor roared, the remnant spirit in the altar exploded, the red fur on his body burned away, revealing an old and withered flesh.

In an instant, a wisp of green light flew out of the black gourd, merged with the green copper piece, and completed a corner, transforming into a broken three-legged, two-eared cauldron, its aura blending with the man's.

Not far away, Yan Ming bowed, and Yan Ruyu and others immediately performed a grand salute, while thousands of members of the Holy Cliff tribe cheered.

"Greetings, Demon Emperor!"

The Azure Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his azure robes fluttering. He looked very young, with a majestic and imposing figure. He appeared calm and composed, yet he exuded an invisible imperial aura.

"The Immortal Cauldron has reappeared. Will I be able to meet the immortals in this life?" He stroked the green bronze cauldron, a strange light in his eyes, which seemed to have passed away for eternity, and reappeared in his peak glory, with a wisp of killing intent suppressing the nine heavens and ten earths.

The 'Immortal Emperor' of Zhongzhou was also drawn to the Immortal Cauldron, which was said to contain the secret to becoming an immortal, and even ancient supreme beings would be moved by it.

His expression shifted between light and shadow, eventually settling into cold indifference. He made a momentous decision, speaking in a chilling tone: "Azure Emperor, you are already dead, but your lingering spirit has returned. Do you intend to interfere with the karma of the living?"

"Your heart is filled with too much killing intent, do you want to seize the Immortal Cauldron? If so, there will be no peace in the future, and you will stir up a calamity for those who have become immortals." The Azure Emperor spoke calmly.

"A dead man, a rootless soul, dares to flaunt his imperial status here!"

On the ancient chariot, the Divine Essence Holy Spirit spoke ruthlessly, revealing his murderous intent: "I am about to attain enlightenment, and I possess two more imperial artifacts. Today, I have encountered the Immortal Cauldron, a gift from the heavens. You, on the other hand, have been dead for ten thousand years, possessing only the form of a tiger but no power. What do you have to fight me with?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't speak at this moment. Without entering the imperial path, one will ultimately be an ant... It seems you are a wild holy spirit, without having received the systematic inheritance."

A voice rang out, drawing the attention of the Divine Essence Holy Spirit. His gaze was chillingly cold, but he merely chuckled coldly, refusing to offer any explanation.

Tigers and leopards always roam alone, while cattle and sheep flock together!
He was destined to ascend to the throne in this lifetime, so why should he tell anyone?
"Destiny is in my hands!!"

With a resounding thud, he moved. The battle mace in his hand glowed, and with a powerful tremor, a thick beam of golden immortal light pierced through the cosmic starry sky, a truly terrifying sight. At the same time, the Nine Li Diagram glowed, manifesting its supreme divine power. A chaotic world rapidly rose and fell, taking control of the field. In the eternal and desolate star field, a passing meteor was pulverized by the immortal light, while another area of ​​meteorites was swept away by the void Dao patterns emitted by the immortal diagram, turning into dust.

"Azure Emperor, hand over the Immortal Cauldron, and I will send you to your eternal rest!" On the Primordial War Chariot, the Immortal Emperor roared, urging the Imperial Weapon to slash forward, possessing an aura of world destruction.

"boom!"

The two imperial artifacts were activated by the Divine Essence Holy Spirit of a Quasi-Emperor at the eighth level, and were now completely resurrected. They were truly about to break through the past, present, and future, and sweep across all the heavens and myriad realms. If they were to fall, not only would the Immortal Transformation Pool be destroyed, but even the Central Continent would be destroyed and cease to exist!
The Azure Emperor was taken aback and sighed, saying nothing. He simply extended two fingers, one pointing to the Imperial Mace and the other to the Fallen Emperor Diagram, revealing extraordinary qualities in his ordinariness.

"The complete power of the ultimate path, just this wisp of killing intent, would make even a Great Perfection Saint Spirit flee, let alone a Quasi-Eighth." Yan Ming murmured, very familiar with this law, having sensed it many times in the Dream Path. Even among the emperors, the Azure Emperor was definitely an invincible powerhouse, ranking in the first tier.

"The Dao-achieving beings of later generations... the Azure Emperor, hailed as the greatest in ten thousand years, truly possessed extraordinary talent in such methods!"

A handsome man spoke up; he was the only one who had just bowed slightly, showing respect as an equal.

He looked at Yan Ming and said, "As a fellow Holy Spirit, you are quite special, completely different from the other Holy Spirits."

The lingering remnant of the Yinghuo Sacred Body was very interested in Yan Ming. Over the past few months, he had learned a lot, traveled to the land of immortality, and visited Ziwei. Now, stepping onto Beidou, he recalled many past events.

"Senior, are you referring to the past deeds of suppressing and killing the Great Accomplished Holy Spirit?"

The man shook his head and sighed softly, “The battle in the past was only to quell the chaos. The Holy Spirits are those who accumulate for millions of years before they can be born, but they are easily influenced by their environment. Those with gentle personalities are a very small minority. Even the heavens would condemn a Great Perfection Holy Spirit for killing someone, but when it comes to turmoil, one has no choice but to take action… Besides, I cannot count that person from the past; he was the true queller of the chaos.”

The two made no attempt to hide their conversation, and those around them trembled upon hearing it. An invincible being who had killed a Great Perfection Saint Spirit? And he was still alive? This was truly astonishing.

"Azure Emperor, you..."

Suddenly, a shrill roar rang out, and the Holy Spirit of Qinling met his end. An imperial hand, lush and verdant, flew toward his crown. No matter how he resisted, it was useless. The Holy Spirit's body and the two imperial weapons were all frozen in place, unable to move.

"Fellow Daoist, I wish to exchange this spiritual body." At the critical moment, the remnant soul of the Holy Spirit of the Immortal Ruins flew out, like a celestial maiden, breathtakingly beautiful.

"The divine will... no, it has stabilized, is it a completely new method of immortality?" For the first time, the Azure Emperor showed surprise, unusually lost in thought, staring at the woman before him.

Did the remnant soul of an unparalleled immortal fetus suffer a tragic fate in her previous life? What kind of ancient history will unfold from her story?
The Azure Emperor looked down at the handsome and dashing man below, a secret of heaven welled up in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

One of the nine invincible holy bodies in the past!

The grand scheme of ascending to immortality is about to unfold.

"Obtaining this body is easy, but let me ask you, will it be detrimental to all living beings?" the Azure Emperor asked calmly, yet it exuded a divine might that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Perhaps I can do my part in the turmoil after the Immortal Path."

Just as the female immortal was about to answer, Yan Ming spoke up, leading Yan Ruyu through the air. His tone was calm as he presented the Chaos Green Lotus with both hands, saying, "This junior can exchange this Holy Spirit body for the Immortal Cauldron."

In his mind, the Ascension Cauldron was dispensable, so even when the Divine Child was in the Immortal Ruins, he never summoned the Emperor's conspiracy behind it.

"The Immortal Cauldron represents the hope of becoming an immortal? How can you give it up?" The Azure Emperor glanced sideways, his gaze falling on Yan Ruyu, and he immediately understood everything.

"Not for becoming an immortal! I only wish to see all the splendor of the human world. Besides, I believe that even if one were to become an immortal, one should do so within the mortal realm; the path of seeking immortality is inherently inferior."

Yan Ming said calmly, a wisp of light of life and death emanating from the Sendai, the dream lamp lingering, foreshadowing his future path.

The Azure Emperor remained silent, simply staring at him with a dazzling, blinding gaze that emanated a terrifying pressure.

"I beg the ancestors to grant my request!" Yan Ruyu bit her lip slightly, bowed, and knew that the imperial body of the immortal emperor of Zhongzhou would be of great use to Yan Ming.

The old demon on the other side couldn't even speak, he just trembled, repeatedly kowtowing, tears streaming down his face, feeling that all of this was like a myth.

A soft sound rang out, and the immortal emperor of Zhongzhou was almost petrified, remaining on the dragon chariot.

The Azure Emperor's figure faded and then disappeared completely, as if he had never existed.

In the sky, only a piece of rusty green copper at the bottom of the green copper cauldron, bearing the mark of a blue lotus, represents the trace of the existence of the peerless demon emperor.

"Qingdi!"

"Ancestors!"

Various sounds came from the crowd, and many people exclaimed in surprise.

"What does it matter if I live or die? I come from chaos and return to chaos. A lotus in the eternal blue sky..." The ethereal voice finally came, causing ripples in the Immortal Transformation Pool.

This was once the birthplace of the Demon Emperor.

After Yan Ming finished bowing, he immediately took action and captured the group of jade spirits beneath the dragon's lair.

The female immortal fetus flew towards that quasi-emperor-level holy spirit body.

The two are similar in type. One is a dream-level ancestral dragon marrow spirit formed from the Qinling dragon vein in Zhongzhou, and the other is a longevity-level immortal marrow spirit nurtured by the Wanlongshou Peak, the land of immortality. Both are marrow bodies with nine orifices and eight holes!

"I'm grateful for your help this time," the woman transmitted telepathically, a rare hint of emotion in her voice. She had already taken control of the deceased Holy Spirit's altar, and her aura was constantly transforming.

"There's no need to say these things between us."

Yan Ming didn't take it seriously and wasn't worried about the other party retaliating.

The other party lacks the corresponding laws and order, so even if they possess that holy spirit body, they cannot unleash their full power.

Being able to influence a quasi-emperor level law is already considered optimistic.

The greater gain was the legacy of a quasi-emperor. In the novel "Covering the Sky," the Azure Emperor destroyed everything, but this moment was different; things had changed.

"Buzz!"

Yan Ming grabbed the remains of the third-generation Yuan Tian Master and took away the Immortal Pill first. This pill was no weaker than the Bodhi Pill he had refined on Earth. Both were supreme treasures and possessed seventy to eighty percent of the efficacy of the Immortal Medicine Fruit.

"Has the Green Emperor left? Is that Holy Spirit alive or dead?"

"The elixir and the essence... were all taken by that person!"

Many people present were filled with doubt and uncertainty, watching helplessly as Yan Ming took away the supreme elixir and the dream-level dragon marrow from the dragon's lair, yet they dared not make a move, filled with envy.
