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

Chapter 216 The Golden Age Stifled, The Prodigy Capture Team

The starry sky was awe-inspiring. Some people recognized this unparalleled divine power, which actually withstood the broken quasi-emperor laws deep within the Chaos Immortal Land and broke through the void, erasing an ancient ruin and causing people to tremble.

Is he a quasi-emperor?

This level of fluctuation ripples!
"That flame, as blue as the sky, mysterious and terrifying, could it be the legendary celestial fire?"

"No... it's a strange fire born from the Chaos Azure Lotus Dao Platform at the Earth's Core. It has undying Dao traces at the Quasi-Emperor level, leaving behind this cluster of Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. Unfortunately, it was taken away by a Quasi-Emperor from beyond the realm!"

"Could it be some invincible giant?"

The ancient road trembled. Not to mention the young prodigies in the city, even the older generation of ancient saints and guides had their pupils shrink sharply, their hearts filled with mixed feelings, but no one dared to come out and stop them.

A Quasi-Emperor, bearing the title of Emperor, is high above, enough to crush the heavens. Even the Great Sage, no matter how strong, is nothing more than an ant; they are not from the same world!
"Buzz!"

The figure entangled in intricate chains merged with the heavens and man, transforming into the Dao. Like an ancient emperor traversing time and space, it supported the chaotic soil with its Dharma form, and in a flash, disappeared into the darkness.

He entered the Sea of ​​Stars, where a Dao diagram shone brightly, emanating a gentle, supreme immortal radiance, and vaguely revealed an ancient world that sealed this divine land.

Because the courtyard where Fairy Qing Shi resided was connected to the Twelve-Petaled Green Lotus, it was also brought here as an extra.

Several ancient and exotic creatures also accompanied them...

The Chaos Immortal Soil that Yan Ming obtained this time was extraordinary. It originated from the mythical era, and this was no exaggeration. He saw a stele that was frighteningly ancient. He couldn't understand the words on it, which transcended the realm of divine script and belonged to the category of celestial patterns.

Later, through a sacrificial ritual, he deciphered the inscription on the ancient stele and learned some ancient secrets.

In the turbulent era of mythology, an ancient power rose to prominence because of a celestial fire. This fire was hailed as the strongest divine flame in the world, unparalleled. Anyone who could obtain it could achieve perfect evolution. It fell from a forbidden zone of life.

After investigation, it was found that the flame was likely left behind after the Daoist Master's death, having burned to ashes, leaving only a ball of fire.

In that incomprehensible, chaotic ancient era, someone obtained that wisp of Dao fire, seized the opportunity, and transformed into a quasi-Celestial Venerable, almost reaching the Heavenly Heart position. They were among the strongest beings in the vast universe.

Unfortunately, what brings you prosperity will also bring you ruin!

That person was ultimately burned by the immortal flames and annihilated in the most terrifying battle in the forbidden zone in history.

The Dao Stele also inscribed two scriptures: the Sun Immortal Scripture and the Moon Immortal Scripture. Excluding the forbidden chapters and secret techniques, the Moon Immortal Scripture contains all five secret realms, while the Sun Immortal Scripture is missing a chapter on the Immortal Platform. These are also ancient scriptures possessed by the Azure Poetry Fairy in *Covering the Sky*, which she has not yet obtained. (Covering the Sky, Chapter 1271)
"Azure Moon Flame? A female Daoist cultivator who received the inheritance of the Nine Heavenly Venerables..." Yan Ming muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a profound light. At his level of cultivation, only those who had undergone reincarnation could make him stop. The Chaotic Ancient Era and the Immortal Ancient Era were the goals he pursued.

Before he could turn around, the Vermilion Bird Saint Envoy sent by Emperor Tian trembled and involuntarily kowtowed, trembling with fear. He could not withstand the pressure and revealed his true form in a blood-red glow.

Yan Ming did nothing, but simply summoned Fairy Qing Shi, his eyes flashing with divine light as he stared at her altar as if he were looking at a celestial treasure.

The other party's flowers are suspected to be similar to those of Qingyue Fairy, Yuechan, and Qingyi!
However, this woman placed her bet too early in the story of "Covering the Sky," lost her status, and eventually disappeared from public view.

On the other side, Qing Shi, the fairy in the ancient road, known as one of the most dazzling pearls in the universe, looked slightly unnatural and pale when facing the scrutiny of an unparalleled master, but she still had an otherworldly air about her, like a fairy who stepped out of a painting.

She lowered her head subconsciously. Her features were exquisite, her beauty ethereal and otherworldly, and she possessed a peerless charm that would surely attract countless cultivators to admire her if she were to be seen in the outside world.

The little maid Ling'er beside her was as fresh as snow piled on a flowering tree, as lively as an elf. At this moment, she gathered her chest, wanting to show off her beauty as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the interviewer didn't even look at her.

"They may not be similar flowers, but we can't rule out a connection." Yan Ming shook his head, his eyes shimmering with golden light. As the sacrificial offerings dissipated, he saw glimpses of the past.

The other party is related to an ancient quasi-emperor, with similar identity and bloodline. It is difficult to trace back further, as they would be blocked by the barrier from countless ages ago in the chaotic ancient era.

If the woman before me were to be shrouded in darkness and awaken to the karma of her past life, she would surely transform into a female quasi-emperor in the future.

From Yan Ming's perspective, there are countless possibilities for the fate line.

"Now that you have entered the Immortal Ruins, you will become a Quasi-Emperor in the future," he said, extending an invitation.

Faced with a being who was suspected to be a quasi-emperor, not to mention Qing Shi herself, even Di Tian, ​​whom she believed in, could not defy the former's will. After a moment of silence, she nodded, not daring to disobey.

At this moment, she regained some of her freedom, wearing a plain white dress, her hair styled in a high bun, her skin fair and radiant. Combined with that unique sense of brokenness, she captivated even the little maid beside her.

As for Di Tian, ​​he was deliberately forgotten by the master and servant, who did not want to recall those past events!

That relationship began on the road to the Emperor, and it also ended on the road to the Emperor!

Yan Ming has a clear mind and sees through everything, so he doesn't feel any aversion.

To be fair, Qing Shi did nothing wrong. Compared to Ji Ziyue in "Covering the Sky," she has even more merits.

Little Moon didn't fully reveal her feelings until the Holy Body truly rose to power; before that, there was a long period of ambiguity.

For example, when Ye Fan carried the coffin into the ancient Ji family, Ji Ziyue was being forced into marriage.

What would she do in the face of forced marriage? If it weren't for the Three Incarnations Copper Coffin confronting the Void Mirror, she would most likely have silently married Wang Teng.

Ye Fan bore all the consequences for her. The two loved each other and were committed to each other, but even so, they did not get married until much later.

It's difficult to see Little Moon's resistance or initiative throughout the entire story.

From this perspective, Qing Shi is much more pure; she has always known what she wants, hoping to become partners with the winner of the Imperial Road.

Limited by her limited perspective, she placed too high a view on the source of the Dao, choosing Di Tian only because she liked the image of a young supreme being he presented to her, and she went to great lengths for him, hoping that Di Tian could attain the Dao.

In the original timeline, Ye Fan rose to power, and Qing Shi found herself in a complicated situation, realizing that she had chosen the wrong person.

Even at dusk in the later stages of the story, she did not end up with Di Tian—Ye Fan, who was eight thousand years old, met Di Tian, ​​Xin Lan, the Human King, the Great Demon God, and Fairy Qing Shi in succession.

This is actually the tragedy of those who bet first!

If she could learn from Xiaoyueliang, even if they are mutually in love, they should wait for the other party to take the initiative.

If a woman takes the initiative and entrusts herself to the wrong person, she is destined to have a bad ending.

Yan Ming saw through this clearly and didn't care much. The other party was willing to accept the invitation because of his strength.

If the person appearing before her wasn't a supreme expert suspected to be a quasi-emperor, a mysterious being wielding an imperial artifact, or a sovereign who traversed the cosmic sea alone, but merely a former Saint-level fire spirit, would she still accept the invitation? Qing Shi might instead try to persuade him, hoping he would follow Di Tian…

The same applies to inscriptions.

If the other party didn't have a quasi-emperor-level predecessor and a connection with the twelfth-grade green lotus, there's no possibility that they could trace back to their past life in the Chaotic Ancient Era.

He wouldn't even glance at it.

The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit and gain...

"The Source of the Dao!" During the crossing, Qing Shi was very surprised to see a golden crow immortal figure behind Yan Ming. The aura of ten thousand Daos roaring made her mind shake. She had never been so surprised before.

She had a vague idea of ​​who this person was!

"The legendary master of the Heavenly Court... there isn't just one source of this world's Dao." She murmured to herself, her old worldview beginning to crumble.

"If we obtain this item and things develop normally, we'll only reach the Quasi-Emperor level. Is it worth all this trouble?"

Yan Ming shook his head, feeling that the other person was one of the victims of information asymmetry.

Thinking about it again, by now those people on the ancient road should have been caught.

At the same time he traveled to the other side of the gods, the Immortal Ruins Forbidden Zone trembled, an Emperor Talisman pierced the heavens, and the cry of the phoenix was heard all over the universe, shocking the four extremes and eight wastelands.

The Immortal Phoenix and the Fallen Blood Phoenix returned from the ancient starry road. The Nine Phoenix King, holding an ultimate imperial weapon in one hand and a small world in the other, appeared outside the solar system.

In this small world, there are several outstanding individuals, full of vigor and vitality. They are all young and renowned geniuses, with cultivation levels above the Saint Realm. Some are even Saint Kings, and have a history of terrifying battles.

These individuals are the prodigies of the ancient path: Hun Zhan, the Great Demon God, Di Tian, ​​Xin Lan, and others... Each one is stunning and is a supreme seed chosen by the protectors of the human race.

Over the years, the unparalleled masters of the Heavenly Court have launched attacks in various places.

The Heavenly Emperor's Son, Dark Fire Lin'er, Black Wukong, Taiyin Body Jiang Tingting, and Taiyang Body Ye Tong, among others, were born one after another, becoming the Dark Kings of the Ancient Starry Road!
After ten years of turmoil, the Emperor's Path was extinguished by the combined efforts of these Immortal Ruins Daoists, and no one, inside or outside the realm, dared to claim supremacy!

In this vast world, only the Immortal Ruins could produce so many terrifying beings at the level of ancient princes!
The group of "prodigies" who stirred up trouble in the middle stage of "Covering the Sky" were defeated one by one when faced with such a terrifying organization.

In the end, even the human protectors were alarmed and wanted to use force to eliminate the threat.

If Kunpeng hadn't made a stunning appearance at the crucial moment, using quasi-Emperor level methods to frighten away the human race's protectors, sweeping across the starry sky and wiping them all out, they really wouldn't have been able to be captured, and would have surely escaped.

Among them, Hun Zhan, Di Tian and others had hidden trump cards, but they were still powerless against the Dark Heavenly Court. Like a cat playing with a mouse, they were all taken away.

Kill the genius and cover the sky with one hand!
This scene actually happened, and it has never been so tragic!

Given the current starry sky environment, these young prodigies are far too inexperienced; all of them combined are no match for a quasi-emperor.

Even in the timeline of Shrouding the Heavens, before the Dark Turmoil, apart from a few individuals like Ye Fan and Tai Chu who possessed special abilities, other prodigies, even those as powerful as Yin Tiande and Yao Guang, and as noble as the Dragon Girl and the Heavenly Maiden, could only meet their demise in the face of the Immortal Ruins…

Times have changed!
With his dual Dao Fruit attainment of the Great Sage realm, Yan Ming's gaze was now fixed solely on those Quasi-Emperors. He no longer paid any attention to the once renowned and unparalleled prodigies.

The so-called golden age!

It's only just begun, yet it's already nearing its end!
"It really is the blood of the first Heavenly Tyrant! I never expected it to appear here. This is a true divine treasure!"

"This little guy has reverted to his ancestral form; the blood of the Holy Body within him is very concentrated. His ancestor was a Great Perfection Holy Body. It's truly rare to have such a blood concentration after so many tens of thousands of years!"

The researchers from the Eternal Lineage were the first to arrive at the Five Colors Realm, surrounding Hun Zhan and Yang Xi like stars around the moon, their eyes filled with fervent anticipation.

The former's eyes immediately lit up. He was a saintly king, revered as the overlord by all the heroes. He had roamed the world for so many years. Who would dare to be so disrespectful to him?

"You brat, a mere Dao-Slaying cultivator, dare to bully me!" He gritted his teeth, indicating that he wanted to see the Heavenly Emperor's son.

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
Having lost the imperial road, he would rather die than be in this state, humiliated by the weak and reduced to an experimental subject for a group of researchers.

"He really is a powerful body; he's still not convinced even after arriving here."

Yao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a gentle smile on his face that was as warm as a spring breeze.

He is a guest alchemist of the Eternal Lineage, who has made achievements in genetic engineering. Because of Jiang Taixu, he is inclined towards the Holy Body and has a prejudice against the Azure Heaven Tyrant Blood.

As a rising star in the Heavenly Court, he had extremely high aspirations and was granted the right to travel through the Immortal Ruins, making his status comparable to that of an ancient saint. Naturally, he would not tolerate Hun Zhan and directly took out a rosy, jade-like pill and forcibly stuffed it into the Overlord's mouth.

"What kind of pill is this?" Hun Zhan struggled, his face contorted in disbelief. He felt the purple blood surging and boiling within his body, and a reproductive desire arose spontaneously, which made him furious. He knew he had been tricked.

Deceiving too much!

Unfortunately, his cultivation was sealed, so he couldn't cause any trouble at all.

"Based on the initial quote, it's too cheap for your Brahma Clan." Yao Chen waved his hand, and Fan Yuntong, who was standing to the side, presented a jade box at the right time. Inside was a hundred catties of Thousand Illusion Star River Divine Sand. Then, he forcibly restrained Hun Zhan and disappeared into the hall.

Over the years, they have recuperated and recovered a lot of their vitality, and the number of their people has increased many times over. However, there are very few true geniuses. The Brahma Clan also participated in the previous Divine Body Project and gave birth to more than ten offspring, but not a single one of them was a true pure-blooded Divine Body.

Fortunately, there is now another Heavenly Tyrant Bloodline, whose ancestors once possessed the Brahma Battle Body.

According to the basic principles of bloodline theory, the combination of different bloodlines has a higher probability of inheriting the law chain of the previous generation, which is proven in many ancient books.

Although the possibility is very low, a miracle has occurred in the Ziwei Star Region...

Beidou is a place that inspires both longing and fear.

This is the legendary Burial Emperor Star, which holds too many secrets. It was once extremely glorious, with the footprints of many great emperors and ancient emperors. Even now, it still has seven forbidden zones for life, making it unparalleled and arguably the strongest place in the world!

From the ancient primordial mine, melodious flute music emanates, like a clear spring gushing forth, flowing into the desert, nourishing all things in heaven and earth, and bringing a sense of joy and beauty.

Everyone in the Northern Region was shocked. After more than ten years, they heard this flute music again. It had been heard before, back when the Heavenly Court was rising.
