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

Chapter 170 The Undying Scripture, practiced to achieve a crane-like physique.

The instant Yan Ming touched the black parchment!

His Sendai trembled, and a majestic demonic mountain suddenly appeared, bursting forth with streaks of dark light and billowing black flames, covering everything.

"Buzz!"

A blurry afterimage stood proudly atop the mountain, emanating boundless life force, with numerous sacred mists rising behind it, carrying an ethereal quality.

Then countless dark figures appeared, ancient and terrifying, all bowing towards the mountaintop.

The afterimage quickly dissipated, leaving only the dark mountains overlooking eternity, gazing at the end of the river of time...

Countless years later, the once-demon mountain collapsed, all the powerful creatures within perished, and their blood stained a precipice, surging into the depths of chaos.

A corner of the Black Cliff buried an ancient and vast domain. In the end, even the Broken Mountain was destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

"I never expected it to be him..."

Two golden rays tore through the starry sky. Yan Ming's eyes opened and closed, his heart trembling as he stared at the tattered animal skin scroll.

The surface was covered with dense writing and various mysterious lines, corresponding to the profound secrets of the humanoid creature's body.

His body glowed, automatically drawing in the essence of the ten directions and causing the myriad paths of heaven and earth to resonate in harmony. Yan Ming felt a familiar fluctuation deep within the black scriptures, with dark light constantly rushing towards him, causing his body to tremble violently and his aura to rise rapidly.

"The legendary Immortal Scripture is actually true."

Yan Ming's eyes shone brightly, still somewhat incredulous at this moment. The rare treasure he had obtained from the Dream Path was actually a remnant of an Immortal King!
Even though it wasn't a complete scripture, only half a black book, the remaining magic and the dark traces were extremely compatible with him, like a lineage. He immediately comprehended a fundamental ancestral symbol from the broken rune page, expounding the true meaning of immortality and indestructibility.

"boom!"

In an instant, his platform seemed to be covered with a layer of black jade frost, and its interior emitted an even more dazzling dark light, like the deepest starlight in the world flowing in the night. Hundreds and thousands of runes rushed up, and the desolate and mysterious dark matter was rapidly reshaped. At a glance, it was as if the primordial ancestral god was reviving.

The radiant light of the sacrificial ceremony shines upon all, spreading throughout the universe!
The sun, moon, and stars all dimmed, becoming mere background elements; only the primordial talisman exuded power and flowed with mysterious aura.

"This immortal scripture actually contains the ancestral techniques of the Crane Clan..."

Yan Ming was surprised and subconsciously condensed his body posture, practicing until his figure resembled a crane. Instantly, a faint Dao trace spread out, and an aura similar to the Heaven-Piercing Immortal-Burning Technique rushed out, almost shaking the entire Death Starfield.

This is the unique aura of a Celestial King-level Heavenly Technique!

This scroll of parchment contains a revised version of the Immortal Sutra!
Back then, He Wushuang only obtained half of the Undying Scripture, and it was incomplete. In the years that followed, he used the Undying Scripture as a foundation to create his own scripture, just like the relationship between the Tianxuan Step Technique and the Xingzi Secret!

The animal hide that Mengdao obtained was not complete; it contained only a quarter of the scripture, equivalent to one-eighth of the original text, and had been corrupted by some terrible force.

Even Yan Ming hadn't expected that his scripture would resonate so well with that of the Immortal King from another realm. It was like a key unlocking a lock; everything flowed smoothly and effortlessly, without the slightest hindrance.

The master of the Kunmu tree from the ancient cliff was unable to unlock the inheritance. The fortune he gained by comprehending the Qi might not even reach the Supreme level.

It's no wonder that Yan Ming overlooked this part of the other person's experience.

Even if there are immortal scriptures, they are bound by seals, so how can the world know their glorious light?

The strange phenomenon dissipated, and the universe fell silent, returning to utter stillness, devoid of any sound, only darkness and cold, with no trace of the strange phenomenon remaining.

"The Heaven-Piercing Immortal-Burning Technique is grounded in my divine sense, and the Undying Scripture tempers my body. My path is complete. All that remains is to slaughter everyone." Yan Ming muttered to himself, his body tall and strong, his black hair flowing freely, and a sacred aura emanating from him, making him even more transcendent.

He already knew the essentials of cultivating the Immortal Scripture (the version revised by He Wushuang).

By absorbing the essence of all living beings, using the saints as a furnace, and the remains of ancient powerful beings as firewood, they burn their essence to temper themselves, regarding it as true gold, thereby completing a true transformation.

The being who created this technique overcame the tribulation of becoming an immortal king by relying on this path, and transformed into another ancient ancestor-level being in another realm.

This is a direct path to immortality!

"You obtained the legacy left by that ancient powerhouse?" Princess Divine Silkworm asked, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light. She sensed that terrifying aura, which was definitely a supreme divine technique.

"It's not his technique, it's the legacy of another unparalleled giant."

Yan Ming replied, carefully studying the immortal divine talisman. Then, he began to further comprehend the meaning of the scripture. It was truly exquisite, with dazzling divine marks, surging blood energy, and unparalleled power!

Furthermore, his physical body was gradually strengthening. Keep in mind that he possessed the Fire Spirit Body, had undergone a transformation once, and had consumed the Bodhi Pill, devouring countless powerful beings to nourish such a precious body. Now, having only barely entered the Dao of the Undying Scripture, he was already experiencing a visible improvement, which shocked him.

No wonder it is known as the perfect first body-refining scripture. Even with only one-eighth of the original scripture remaining, it still possesses the power to turn decay into wonder.

This scripture is the greatest reward of this trip!
The next moment, Yan Ming looked at the Death Starfield before him. As far as the eye could see, mountains had collapsed, seas had dried up, ancient caves were silent and cracked, and walls were broken and crumbling. It was a desolate place where nothing existed anymore, not a blade of grass grew, and the land was barren and desolate.

The felling of the Kunmu tree caused extremely severe backlash, leading to the complete extinction of an ancient source of life!

“The World Tree is dying, and perhaps a part of it has merged with this ruin…” Yan Ming carefully sensed the vast graveyard on the Death Star and made up his mind to burn everything.

The value of World Tree saplings is self-evident!

Even in the Immortal Ancient Era, it would be considered the most top-tier immortal destiny, one of the most terrifying Dao Seeds, comparable to the nascent form of the primordial universe and the Five Elements Heavenly Seeds.

"The World Tree still needs to be accompanied by the majestic strides of a dragon and the powerful gait of a tiger. The ancient Heavenly Court lacked this symbol, which is why it perished. But I am different." Yan Ming pondered to himself, somewhat concerned about this seemingly joking matter.

The Copper Coffin Trilogy symbolizes one of the most terrifying reflections!

The ashes of the plateau's master were scattered, giving rise to the ten progenitors.

His flower seeds, left behind, created the Pollen Emperor...

The Ten-Crown King Emperor came from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He attained enlightenment through the World Tree and was already a Celestial King giant during the Great Turmoil.

If he leaves behind some traces of Dao in this ancient realm, the person most similar to him may be able to seize the greatest immortal opportunity, just like the Wushi Scripture in Purple Mountain, which is only opened for the innate holy body Dao embryo.

Yan Ming possessed the Ancient Emperor Scripture of the Myriad Dragon Nest, and also killed a Dark White Tiger in Yinghuo, plundering its scripture.

Just as the Transformation Serpent gave rise to the Ancient Celestial Serpent and the Ancient Teng Serpent, the White Tiger also branched out into several major lineages, one of which is the Dark White Tiger. In the present era, the true White Tiger clan may only exist in the Forbidden Zone (where a White Tiger Daoist lies dormant in the Big Dipper), and they are rarely seen by the outside world.

The enormous tomb that buried everything was dark red all over, as if it had been soaked in blood and irrigated with the blood of all living beings, which created this scene. Even the soil around it was dark in color and extremely yin.

Yan Ming performed a ritual, summoning a wisp of ancient flame. The sound of chanting filled the air, and the profound meaning of the Scripture of Salvation spread out, showering down a vast rain of light...

At the same time as the Great Tomb was disturbed, in the distant depths of the universe, in an ancient celestial palace suspended in chaotic energy, a sword rang out. A white-haired man suddenly awoke, his cold gaze seemingly able to pierce through all the heavens and myriad realms, seeing that dead realm where blood and bones were buried.

"Something's happened there." The cold words wailed on the wind as the white-haired sword god emerged from seclusion, tearing through the void and traversing the Death Starfield.

Soon after, a sword light cleaved through the void and landed on this spot. The white-haired man appeared, and when he saw the scene on the death planet, the vanished great tomb made him freeze. In an instant, endless killing intent surged into his body, as if ten thousand heavenly swords were soaring into the sky, ready to annihilate all enemies.

“He doesn’t even spare the resting place of the dead…” There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes, but more so a murderous aura, as if he wanted to slaughter everything, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.

The God Organization is defined as hunting down all the strong individuals who have embarked on the ancient path through the stars.

This peerless master of the divine organization must have killed countless powerful figures to cultivate such a terrifying sword intent. With just his sword energy, he could cleave a Great Sage in two and slaughter a light-year.

The next moment, a bronze disc appeared, and the white-haired man began to perform a ritual to deduce the past and pinpoint who was responsible.

The result was unexpected; the secrets of heaven were shrouded in mystery and difficult to predict!
"No matter who it is, they will pay for everything today with their blood!" The sword wind howled, and the white-haired man disappeared into the void, never to be seen again.

Meanwhile, the Nine Phoenix King had already rushed into the target area.

This is a very ordinary star, not large, similar in size to Earth, shrouded in dark gray mist, as if it were about to dry up, with very weak life fluctuations.

A hazy mist shrouded the planet, making it look desolate. There was hardly any green on the ground, and withered vegetation everywhere, as if the planet had suffered a calamity and lost its vitality.

Just as Dao Yi had planned, the Nine Phoenix King, confident in his possession of an imperial weapon, made no attempt to conceal his presence and rushed in despite his suspicions.

The outermost cover could not stop the Great Sage at all. The seal was quickly broken, revealing an altar as big as a small mountain, built of black crystal, and on a grand scale.

At the very center of the altar were many offerings, such as several pieces of pure white sacred bone, some dried bloodstains, and scattered ritual implements. The most eye-catching item was a jade plate in the center, high above, radiating an astonishing life force.

The miraculous bud of the ancient tree of life!
The second layer of seal was also broken, and the Nine Phoenix King activated the Sun God Furnace, easily erasing the arrangement of this place.

The next moment, the once desolate Star Land changed its appearance. The small world inside rushed out. In the deepest part of a mountain range, green clouds rose and a fairy tree took root in the central forest.

"I never expected there really was an immortal tree..." King Nine Phoenix murmured, his expression unusually fluctuating.

"Are you alone? None of the saints from Heaven have come, especially that woman."

A sigh echoed from the desolate mountains, and a person with a radiant smile appeared beside the ancient tree of life.

"I've been waiting for you for many days." Dao Yi shook his head, looked straight at King Jiuhuang, his golden hair fluttering, smooth and soft, and said, "Actually, what I want to kill the most is that woman. She is about to break through to the Great Saint level. She single-handedly brought my Eternal Kingdom to the brink of collapse. Mi Luo and Luan Feng both want her dead."

"Buzz!"

The Nine Phoenix King's face was icy cold. The Hengyu Furnace shimmered with crystal-clear crimson light, looking like a dream. Holding the supreme imperial weapon, he was a god here, and no schemes or tricks were of any use.

No nonsense, no replies, just a devastating attack!
"Boom!"

A divine furnace rapidly expanded, a phoenix's cry resounded through the heavens, flames scorched the ancient city, and the Hengyu Furnace suppressed everything.

A terrifying light rose up beside Dao Yi, and a thick golden wall blocked the ancient emperor's weapon's attack, producing a clanging sound.

"Even on the verge of death, you still act so recklessly!" His voice turned cold. Bearing the blood debt of the great races and hundreds of billions of lives in the Eternal Starfield, his usual gentle smile disappeared, leaving only coldness.

At the same moment, the entire ancient star shook, the heavens and earth were sealed, the star gate could not be opened, and the void could not be torn apart.

"boom!"

The fragmented imperial array left over from the past has been revived, and boundless divine light has surged forth. Centered on this mountain range, boundless divine radiance has risen, sealing off the entire ancient star.

A golden figure appeared, his Dao Yan Divine Robe dazzling and radiating a powerful ancient imperial might.

"Slay the invaders! A great saint from an ancient royal family should be able to cripple the Heavenly Court and thus avert the eternal crisis!" Dao Yi said in a deep voice, his words filled with killing intent.

At this point, one side—either the Eternal or the Ascetic—must fall; there is no buffer whatsoever!
Those who slaughtered my eternal people, did they ever foresee this calamity?

This sentence was intended by Dao Yi to mock the Nine Phoenix King. The pirated Tree of Life and the fake Ancient Scroll of Gods could also undermine the opponent's morale and increase the chances of victory.

However, the Nine Phoenix King remained silent from beginning to end, only unleashing his earth-shattering killing move, which thwarted his preparations and left him with a feeling of powerlessness.

"Everything went exactly as expected, so where exactly did things go wrong? What's making me uneasy?" Dao Yi narrowed his eyes as he watched the carnage unfold before him.

With the blessing of the ancient imperial array patterns, the guardian, clad in the Daoist divine robe, was fierce and terrifying. The chains of order rang out with every move he made, flowing with brilliant immortal light.

The killing formations surged rapidly, each one transforming into the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes, forcing the enemy into a continuous retreat, their blood staining the sky.

“No matter what happens, trapped in the killing formation, he is doomed. Once that imperial furnace is suppressed, the tide of this war should change.” Deep in the mountains, Dao Yi cut off his distracting thoughts and calmly watched everything.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. He heard a distant conversation, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, almost sealing his soul.

"Nine Phoenixes are not in good condition."

“You underestimate him. The Fallen Blood Phoenix can only awaken the supreme divine runes in its bloodline when it bleeds and is injured. He can hold on for a long time.”

"That little guy is very hostile towards me. It seems he really wants to show off his intelligence, but unfortunately he's one step behind... He's going to lose everything."

The woman's voice was magnetic and pleasant to the ear, but to Dao Yi it sounded like a devil's whisper, giving him a rapid warning and prompting him to transmit his voice.

"Elder, quickly kill the formidable enemy in the formation! Time is of the essence!"
