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

Chapter 169 The Ancient People Killed by the Immortal Daoist and the Longevity Celestial Venerable

According to the star map guidance of the God Organization, there are five ancient stars in this unfamiliar star field, and the place where the Dao Yan lineage set up an ambush is exactly the last one.

Yan Ming did not embark on the journey, but was drawn by another kind of fluctuation.

“The Nine Phoenix King might encounter an accident…” Princess Divine Silkworm hesitated. With her intelligence and wisdom, ever since she learned that the Eternal Kingdom had the Dao Yan inheritance, she was certain that this target was extraordinary.

Not to mention learning the truth after meeting with Yan Ming!

Knowing there was an ambush, they still abandoned their teammates and left.

"He can hold them off."

Yan Ming simply left a sentence, his crown chakra glowed, and he used his Daoist thoughts to envelop the dark mothership before rushing into another unknown area.

After traversing a rugged passage, the two found themselves in an unfamiliar ancient star field, desolate, grand, and ancient... and a sense of such emotion welled up within them.

Like a mighty river!
It was like a hurricane sweeping across ten thousand mountains.

Sweeping away everything, a tragic sentiment contains an unparalleled domineering aura!
"It can actually affect me?" Princess Divine Silkworm was very surprised and immediately became serious. This kind of influence was something that ordinary Great Saints could not possess, and it might even be a Quasi-Emperor.

Yan Ming frowned slightly, but his sixth sense told him that this trip would be auspicious and there was no danger.

He put away his Saint King-level starship, summoned his dragon chariot, and used the Black Gold Cauldron to suppress all ripples, silently appearing at the center of the fluctuating area.

As soon as he entered this sea of ​​stars, he sensed that the vast expanse before him was an ancient star field comparable to the Big Dipper!
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply as he saw a legendary painting in front of him.

A single manifestation of the Dao!
Standing tall in the universe, its height is immeasurable, its end unseen, reaching into the depths of the cosmos, its feet treading on endless darkness.

Surrounding it were stars, the sun and moon, a celestial river, and chaotic energy that filled the sky. There were even divine consciousness fluctuations spreading throughout this unfamiliar star field, making people want to worship it. It was terrifying beyond measure.

This is a being that already possessed the aura of an Emperor, but collapsed at the last step and perished.

The environment of this ancient star field is very strange, but that's not the reason it's unsettling. The main reason is the majestic Dharma image in the central area, which is like a miracle and unprecedented.

Princess Shencan was utterly astonished, a tremor running through the depths of her soul! She froze on the spot, like a statue of white jade.

"This is... a fallen aspiring Daoist!" she exclaimed.

She stood there, somewhat petrified, looking up at the deceased quasi-emperor, watching his chaotic energy surge and his long black hair, which resembled a celestial river in mid-air.

"So this is where it is..."

Yan Ming sighed softly, realizing that he had arrived at the ancient land where the descendants of the ancient Heavenly Court had failed to attain enlightenment.

This also explains why this place can be compared with ancient star systems such as the Big Dipper and the Purple Star.

This star was definitely the core stronghold of the God Organization in the past!

Otherwise, how could a quasi-emperor of the Ninth Heaven have emerged? The tribulation to achieve enlightenment was too tragic, even causing the ancestral star to collapse, resulting in a catastrophic bloodbath.

Even the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron in Yanming's hand trembled slightly, sensing a similar law, and emitted bursts of dark light, like a curtain protecting the weapon master inside.

He sensed a Dao that was almost at the Emperor level, which made his body tense and his heart heavy, even though he was a Great Saint in a single secret realm. He felt an extremely strong sense of pressure.

Golden light swept across the land, and the dragon chariot shattered the sun, moon, and stars, carrying a man and a woman into the center of that ancient star field!
Only at this moment did Yan Ming sense something; the Dao Source refined within the Sendai overflowed with radiant light, emitting similar fluctuations.

"A path different from the laws of this world..." he said, his eyes swirling with Dao patterns, radiating the most dazzling golden light.

Directly ahead, a black-haired man looked down upon the world and surveyed the universe with disdain.

Those wisps of lines spread out, making him the center of the ancient star field, a true creation of heaven and earth, with the vast quasi-emperor aura and a small amount of extreme Dao aura partially obscuring his body.

The dragon chariot stopped atop the Milky Way, allowing the two to see its upper body; its black hair was loose and flowed down like a galaxy.

Even the stars are contained within a strand of hair, lacking their length and size; this is simply a mythical creature, utterly awe-inspiring.

However, his face was covered in blood, and his forehead bone was completely shattered, with the white bone gleaming and dripping with blood.

His eyes were closed, filled with endless sorrow, and he stood there motionless.

One person dies, and the ancestral star collapses!

"This Daoist Dharma Image, though its body has perished, its Dao has not been extinguished, preserving the scene of that day... How could such a drastic change occur after someone dies while attaining the Dao? Could it even affect the mother planet?" Princess Divine Silkworm was somewhat lost in thought. This kind of mystery was beyond her comprehension and she had never heard of it in the ancient times.

This is not common sense!

The Fighting Saint Emperor in the late Primordial Era also failed to attain enlightenment, but did not suffer a similar tragedy. He later relied on the Immortal Peach to undergo a second tribulation and successfully transformed into a generation of emperor.

Why did this ancient quasi-emperor suffer such a tragic fate?

Along with it, a vast source of life was shattered, and the resulting carnage amounted to more than 10 billion.
"He walks the path of the ancient world, achieving success through heaven and earth, and failing because of heaven and earth... This is a destined bond."

Yan Ming spoke, silently sensing, his gaze filled with Dao light. He activated the Qianzi Secret, condensing various complex Dao tracks into one, capturing the fragments of the imprint of this place.

"Boom!"

In the hazy mist, the sound of time flowing by crashed against him, allowing him to glimpse a corner of the past.

The image was fragmented and disjointed. He saw a person whose eyes and demeanor exuded an aura of supreme authority, a quality beyond words.

This is a man in black, carrying a long sword on his back and a divine cauldron on his head. He looks up at the sky, surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, like a raging river. This is the most terrifying tribulation for attaining enlightenment.

With just a glance, the scene flashed by quickly, and Yan Ming's eyes deepened as he sensed a familiar 'power'!
The several enlightened beings I saw in the dream possessed this kind of aura!
Sweep across the six directions and conquer the eight wastelands.

I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth!

This invincible momentum was cultivated through a series of triumphant advances.

"Was it really a failure to prove the Dao?" Yan Ming muttered to himself. Considering the plot of Shrouding the Heavens, the fallen quasi-emperor before him was very likely the ancestor of the White-Haired Sword God of the God Organization.

The World Dao Quasi-Emperor attained enlightenment in an ancient star field comparable to the Big Dipper and the Purple Star, or even more.

In those ancient times, the divine organization may have once reigned supreme, ruling over countless star fields, and was at least more glorious than the divine court of this era. The Dao fruits it created were absolutely heaven-defying, surpassing ordinary quasi-emperors.

Could such an unparalleled master really be unable to withstand the tribulation of attaining enlightenment and unfortunately perish?
Yan Ming then thought of the destroyed Sacred Body Ancestral Star deep in the starry sky.

Was it a natural disaster or a man-made one?
It's so enigmatic!
"Hey!"

Yan Ming's sleeves trembled, and he took out dozens of bronze artifacts, beginning his ritual.

"I want to see what kind of ancient history this is!" He used the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron as the main vessel, summoned a river formed from the blood of all spirits, filled the cauldron, and began to chant rapidly.

"Oh!"

Time passed silently, the universe vanished, and a vast ripple spread rapidly. The secret patterns on the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron glowed, and an indescribable sound arose, as if all the heavenly beings were offering a joint sacrifice, the Daoist chant ethereal and distant.

Among countless fragments of light, Yan Ming saw a person, a person whose birth shook the heavens and earth.

At the moment of his birth, a vigorous kun tree soared into the sky, seemingly about to split the heavens apart. Its canopy was lush and green, and its size was unknown, blocking out the sun.

The sacrificial offerings and the power of dreams intertwine to form a page of light and shadow, recreating primordial traces and telling stories of the past.

The protagonist is a Quasi-Emperor of the Kunmu World Dao and Sword Dao, and a successor of the main lineage of the Heavenly Court!

In the early days of the ancient era, a terrifying dark upheaval broke out, and an emperor perished while suppressing the rebellion, causing chaos throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He rose rapidly with the help of the Kunmu tree, sweeping across all domains, and ascended to the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor. His combat power was unprecedented, and he was known as the first person to rebuild the Heavenly Court.

When he was less than a year old, he found a seed of the Kunmu tree (a seedling of the World Tree). At the age of ten, he accidentally entered the Cloud Palace and obtained the heaven-defying fortune of the Chaotic Ancient Era.

This transformation greatly inspired the remaining lineage of the ancient Heavenly Court!
He combined the laws of the present world with those of the chaotic ancient world, creating a mythical epic. He became a saint in a hundred years, merged with the Dao in the Heavenly Realm, and fused nine different laws, almost breaking the myth of immortality.

During the reign of the Sage King, he obtained the legacy left by the Emperor on the edge of chaos, and used it to collect two-thirds of the Green Bronze Cauldron.

He achieved the Great Sage status at two hundred years old, and entered the Quasi-Emperor realm at five hundred years old.
In the starry sky, both of them stared intently at the almost dreamlike record on the light and shadow, and even Yan Ming fell silent.

Where did this chosen one come from?!

Compared to this person, Wang Teng seems fake!
You are the true chosen one!

Starting as a World Tree sapling, at the age of ten, he obtained the legacy left behind on a broken mountain in the Chaotic Ancient Era. At the age of one hundred, he bathed in the essence blood of the Emperor, collected the Nine Secrets, and recalled some fragments of the Immortal Cauldron.

"It's a pity. He thought he was a ten-time champion, but he lacked the most important thing: the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger." Yan Ming murmured.

As one mark disappears from the page of light and shadow, another engraving will appear, telling the story of rise and fall throughout the ages.

Starting from the Great Sage Realm, that chosen one of heaven became the number one person in the God Organization.

Despite opposition, he decided to rebuild the ancient Heavenly Court, and his forces rapidly expanded in a short period of time, overwhelming all races.

All the glory of this life was on him, and everyone else seemed to be just an accessory.

Later, a forbidden zone monster emerged, but he decisively killed it.

"That was Prince Yun! He actually died at his hands!" Princess Divine Silkworm exclaimed, her divine sense surging.

The Cloud Emperor, an ancient emperor who attained enlightenment in the mid-primordial era, has long since vanished from the world.
"They even killed the Quasi-Emperor Saint Spirit who emerged from the Undying Mountain!"

Yan Ming sighed softly, gazing at the page of light and shadow, witnessing a glorious ancient history and seeing the terrifying achievements of a quasi-emperor of the ancient sword path.

Page after page of history is turned, and one legend after another unfolds.

Starting from the Quasi-Emperor realm, the story seems to reach its climax, with all sorts of formidable enemies appearing: the successor of the Celestial Venerable from the mythical era, the prince of the Underworld from the chaotic ancient period, and the returning ancient divine corpses... It's exciting and diverse.

After countless battles, he emerged victorious, his black robe stained with the blood of his enemies, becoming the greatest warrior of his time!
The Origin Cauldron of All Things is also nearly complete, having gathered eighty percent of its fragments, as the Ancient Heavenly Court once again reigns supreme over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
In the final moments, he overcame two tribulations in an attempt to break through the foreseen forbidden zone and calamity, and finally attain enlightenment!
"boom!"

With a deafening roar, a massive hand wreathed in five-colored divine light flew out from the Undying Mountain. Its white skin was adorned with true phoenix patterns, and it enveloped the heavens and earth. It was enormous and boundless, like a curtain of the sky falling down, awe-inspiring!

The Immortal Taoist was the first, but not the last!
Soon another giant hand flew over, and an ancient supreme being resurrected in the Immortal Tomb, revealing unparalleled killing intent.

This is a desperate situation!

"What can we use to cross over? We're only at the eighth level, how can we possibly defy the heavens and overcome two tribulations..."

Yan Ming opened and closed his eyes, watching the person covered in blood constantly charging, resisting, and desperately trying to break through the barrier, but human strength has its limits, and he was powerless to defy fate during the breakthrough.

The most terrifying thing is that the supreme being in the Undying Mountain has truly broken free of his seal, and his unrestrained laughter has spread throughout the universe, bringing about the most terrifying catastrophe.

Even if people in the world trigger the tribulation to attain enlightenment, it is still difficult to defy the heavens.

After all, he hasn't completely achieved enlightenment through unorthodox means yet, and his realm is not even stable!
In the end, the sky was filled with divine blood. He was killed by the combined efforts of two ancient supreme beings. Their imperial sword cut down the sun, moon and stars, and felled Kunlun trees, causing endless slaughter. How could he possibly resist?
The Immortal Tomb Supreme's killing intent was the strongest; he locked onto the Heavenly Domain, intending to shatter this ancient Heavenly Court's divine star.

The Lord of Kunmu was like a bird of prey with broken wings, fighting with all his might to stop the Longevity Sword from falling. However, he was eventually exhausted and was knocked down by the two supreme beings, his blood staining the starry sky.

In his final moments, he tried to send away the ancestral star, but was struck on the crown of his head by the imperial sword, causing immeasurable tragedy.

His physical body was very strong. He merged with the World Tree and possessed some of the laws of the Imperial Path. He could be considered to have achieved a preliminary alternative path to enlightenment. However, with his death in battle and the destruction of Kunmu, those laws appeared briefly and then quickly dissipated. His physical body also exploded, destroying the planet he had been protecting.

Its primordial spirit was shaken out and quickly burned away.

When all is quiet, a few drops of alluring blood, ghastly and terrifying, serve as proof that a powerful figure who once graced the ages once existed.

In addition, there was a broken cauldron, cleaved by the Emperor's Sword, flying horizontally, bathed in crimson blood, rushing towards the edge of the universe...

The Heavenly Court collapsed overnight!

The Green Cauldron shatters, the Celestial Realm perishes!
This is an unbearable burden.

A terrible ending, a tragic conclusion.

"Their luck is too bad, or perhaps they rose to prominence too early. Even Kunmu has..." Yan Ming sighed. Beside him, the Divine Silkworm Princess felt a chill run through her body. Having learned the most terrifying secret of the universe, a dark glint flickered in her eyes; she was unable to remain calm.

Before undergoing the tribulation, that prodigy searched for something, but to no avail, so he fought a desperate battle.

What is he looking for?
Only Chuan Ying, the number one general of the ancient Heavenly Court, was able to shield him from most of the calamities.

Judging from the results, he did not find Chuan Ying.

"Did the Undying Daoist intervene?" Yan Ming guessed. The Undying Daoist came from the Immortal Realm and was the being in this ancient world of the end of Dharma who knew the power of the World Tree the most.

If he manages to interfere, disrupting the natural order and preventing Chuan Ying from perceiving the outside world, thus keeping him in a deep sleep?
Or rather, in that desperate situation, even if Chuan Ying appeared, he would be killed; the Undying Daoist was no ordinary supreme being of the forbidden zone.

Yan Ming had many questions, but the book of light and shadow had already reached its last page.

The ritual and the dream interpretation both came to an end.

The next moment, a roar resounded between heaven and earth. The enormous quasi-emperor corpse moved. Endless Dao patterns receded, and its body contracted, slowly returning to a single point.

The entire star field trembled, exuding an aura of ancient desolation. The corpse blurred continuously, and all the Heavenly Dao and Divine Laws converged towards one point, which was his forehead bone, also known as the Immortal Platform.

"The Daoist Dharma Form is about to collapse. It was our arrival that triggered this Dharma Form!" Princess Divine Silkworm deduced that even though she was a Heavenly King about to break through to the next realm, she could not withstand such fluctuations and needed the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to stabilize herself.

The Dharma image cannot be maintained for long!

This star field has been sealed for countless years, burying the blood and bones of the departed. His Daoist Dharma Body made a fleeting appearance in this life, which can be considered a unique opportunity for future generations.

The rumbling avenue shook the ancient star field, seemingly originating from the very beginning of the universe, its deafening sound giving one a sense of enlightenment.

Yan Ming drove the dragon chariot backward, savoring the taste of the dream path, and the traces of the Dao in the world subconsciously moved closer to him.

"boom!"

Finally, with a final loud bang, the massive quasi-emperor's corpse dimmed, and countless Dao principles merged into the corpse's gleaming white forehead bone.

Although it was shattered and covered in blood, it was still the master of the Dao and became the final resting place.

Finally, the majestic Dharma body disappeared, transforming into strands of Dao light that scattered throughout the universe. Among them, the most stunning beam from within his forehead resembled a celestial river, bathing Yan Ming in its light.

This is a divine bone, crystal clear, even more beautiful than silver moon white jade, as if it were the embodiment of the Dao.

In the story of "Covering the Sky," this beam of light was obtained by the white-haired quasi-emperor, and nothing else was left behind.

"A piece of Sendai bone tainted by the laws of the Imperial Way..." Yan Ming marveled, and sighed that it was no wonder the Divine Organization hated the Eternal Celestial Venerable to the bone. In the original timeline, they did everything they could to take revenge, using the disintegration of the Green Bronze Cauldron as the price to injure the Eternal Celestial Venerable who had just embarked on the path to immortality.

"Buzz!"

Several dozen breaths later, another beam of light fell, bringing with it half a piece of pitch-black and illusory animal skin paper. It was described as half a piece because the black paper was torn to a great extent, a shocking sight.

Summary of Dream Insights!
"This is... a legacy from another realm!" Yan Ming exclaimed in astonishment, sensing a dark aura of the same origin, and immediately smiled.

The ancient skills recorded in the animal skin paper surprised him even more. Immediately, the hand that was holding the Divine Silkworm Princess tightened its grip, causing the person next to him to silently endure the pain.
