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

Chapter 304 The Emperor's Bloodshed, The Way of Fortune

"Hahaha..." Yan Ming laughed loudly, then suddenly stopped, and finally said coldly, "You have seen through my true intentions. There is no turning back once the arrow is released. Are you trying to lure me into a trap so that you can get rid of me? Or are you afraid of the Golden Crow King's retribution?"

He took a step forward, still holding the immortal bell in one hand, while holding a scarlet imperial spear in the other!
That spear was dazzling; its bewitching luster illuminated the past, present, and future, as if it were a symbol of eternal unity and perpetual existence.

This spear pierced through the ancient celestial being and penetrated the ancient emperor. Within hundreds of years, it evolved to an astonishing level, its divine power unparalleled and astonishing throughout history.

"No matter which one it is, it cannot change the timeline, nor can it change your fate of falling." Yan Ming was radiant, with chaotic energy surging and enveloping his body, making it impossible to look directly at him. It was extremely dazzling and blinding. The twenty-four heavens behind him were even more magnificent, with royal souls returning to their places and chanting scriptures for him, ethereal and ancient.

"You know a lot and are very talented. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you have the potential to become an immortal. It's a pity you don't understand fate." With a soft sigh, the Undying Emperor, covered in blood, spoke. His eyes blazed brightly before dimming, followed by a cold killing intent that suppressed his other emotions.

He had nowhere to retreat and few options left!
The young Golden Crow Clan member was too forceful, and he clearly knew the special nature of this realm. In other words, being able to master the Heaven-Piercing Immortal-Burning Technique meant he was a direct descendant of that clan.

There is no need for two powerful figures on the same path!
Even at the risk of offending the Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm, he was determined to kill this fiend.

"boom!"

A vast aura spread outwards. The Undying Emperor's methods were astonishing. After breaking the seal, with each breath, he inhaled and exhaled innate essence, causing the boundless starry sky to dim. Many great stars disappeared forever, turning into ashes. Streams of starlight and moonlight returned as streams of light, all bathing the cracked body and rapidly repairing its injuries.

Their conversation was concealed by the array diagram and never reached the outside world, otherwise it would have caused a major earthquake. Even so, the word "immortal" still captivated people's hearts, and almost all the supreme beings in the universe were paying attention to this battle.

"boom!"

The mythical battlefield descended into chaos as the five Heavenly Sovereigns, along with a Primordial Dharma Body, charged forward, causing the area to boil over. Without the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram to seal it off, everything would have been reduced to ashes.

The heavens and earth are collapsing, ghosts are wailing and gods are howling. The struggle for the Great Dao is never ruthless. All talk is meaningless. At this moment, the only fundamental truth is to survive.

The galaxy shattered, light rained down, and the pure white celestial energy spread violently. The Undying Emperor was an absolutely terrifying figure. Forced to emerge from hiding after his dormancy was interrupted, his strength remained incomparably powerful, possessing an unparalleled aura. He faced the siege of the emperors alone and withstood it all.

However, his situation was not good either. The Dharma body left behind by the Great Emperor Wushi possessed some of the combat power at its peak and confronted him forcefully, almost restraining half of the pressure. With his attention diverted, he was no match for Yan Ming and the other five, and soon he was killed.

Yan Ming felt relieved, now that he knew the true nature of the Undying Emperor.

The opponent's path to immortality in the mortal world is different from that of Ye Fan in "Covering the Sky," and there is a fundamental difference in their combat strength.

The opponent has always operated in the shadows, rarely making a direct attack. Even in the late Primordial Era, they had to assassinate the old monkey, and they still failed.

It's simply unimaginable for Ye Fan to experience this.

The first being in the Ninth Heaven who dared to challenge the Emperor, after hundreds of years of struggle in the mortal world, was unable to reliably kill the ancient emperors of later generations.

The death of the Emperor Taihuang can be barely compensated for, and it is said that the Immortal Emperor did not want to waste his magic power and wanted to kill the enemy with minimal cost.

After all, did you say whether you killed him or not? The attack doesn't affect the outcome.

However, his failed attempt to hunt the old monkey completely exposed him.

There is only one answer—the Immortal Emperor's strength did not increase proportionally over time; a serious change occurred during his transformation.

"It seems your progress in the Mortal Realm is not going well; you're still not as good as that woman in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land." Yan Ming said, launching a powerful attack as he hurled the Immortal Bell forward.

The celestial artifact emitted a dazzling light, swaying with brilliant rays, tearing through the void, shattering the five-colored chains, causing them to vibrate and hum. The Undying Heavenly Blade trembled, crimson clouds rolled, and its sharp blade gleamed with cold light. Then it flew millions of miles away and cracked once more.

It had devoured more than one ancient imperial artifact and awakened the profound meaning of immortal metal, perhaps it could be called a quasi-immortal artifact, but it was still no match for the immortal bell and almost shattered.

"Junior!" A chilling voice rang out, the Undying Emperor's killing intent was palpable, wanting to bypass the Primordial Dao Body and completely annihilate this troublesome Golden Crow.

But he couldn't get through. That towering figure was like an ancient city wall. Under the order, the sound of the Beginningless Bell rang out, and the Investiture of the Gods shone with golden light, illuminating almost everything.

"Do you really think you're invincible? In the vast expanse of time, those who oppose the Heavenly Court will ultimately vanish like smoke, unable to escape their fate!" The Western Emperor's jade hand moved, activating her immortal sword. A streak of blood-red light shot forth, slashing forward. "Snatch!"

The other three supreme beings attacked simultaneously, their four immortal swords trembling as thousands upon thousands of chaotic sword beams slashed down, and blood filled the sky, engulfing the area.

This is a decisive blow. Four imperial-level experts preside over the killing formation, which is suppressed by the Immortal Bell, and aided by the Boundless Bell and the Investiture of the Gods. It is virtually invincible!
Even the mighty Emperor, who was immortal, was cleaved in wounds by the myriad swords and suffered a heavy blow in the greatest killing formation of all time.

If it weren't for his profound knowledge of human secrets and his mastery of the forbidden techniques of the Heavenly Emperor, which had reached the realm of transcendence, he might have already suffered many sword wounds. Here, he would have no way to dodge. The array rotated, the four swords glowed, and he possessed the power to fight against immortals!

This is not only a manifestation of the secret of character formation, but also the ultimate manifestation of the profound mystery of Lingbao Tianzun's lifelong research into magic arrays, which has been transformed into the strongest killing array and activated the great calamity at this moment.

"kill!"

A phoenix cry resounded, and a five-colored divine phoenix roared angrily, its feathers cascading like a waterfall, fighting against a group of supreme beings, battling and charging into this first killing formation, heading towards a corner, trying to break through the formation.

In the mythological era, the Emperor once broke through this formation head-on!

That time, the Immortal Emperor stood on the side of the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram. Although he did not obtain a celestial sword, he was able to use the celestial bell for assistance. Now, everything has been turned upside down.

However, he could not replicate the Emperor's achievements. Firstly, he was wounded when he left, and secondly, there was the primordial Dharma form, that man had been fighting against him for 100,000 years.

The two faced off on the ancient road to Mars for countless years.

In the end, he outlasted that person, but he also had to face the hidden tricks left behind by Wushi.

Now, the other side has finally come to their aid.

At this moment, the celestial bell tolled, and the four Western Emperors activated the great formation, with their weapons also suspended on the formation gates, becoming one with the killing formation.

Blood splattered three thousand feet high—this was a true depiction of the scene. The Undying Emperor was trapped in the deadly formation, covered in blood, and had suffered hundreds and thousands of sword energies. He fought his way through the formation and almost overturned the platform, but was ultimately forced back.

The green gold tower shook, causing him to stumble and almost fall.

The Emperor-Slaying Spear shattered the void, containing boundless killing intent, leaving a bloody hole, with divine feathers filling the sky.

The celestial bell rang crisply, suppressing the primordial spirit, like a demonic sound piercing the ears...

The situation was extremely critical. The Undying Emperor's pupils narrowed. Without the slightest hesitation, he forcibly condensed his blood essence and broke through the barrier again. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed an annihilation-level immortal technique, aiming directly at the corner killing array that Yang Xi's ancestors had suppressed.

However, the result was cruel; he failed and was unable to break through the formation.

A massive surge of energy erupted, terrifying beyond measure. The Undying Emperor, covered in blood, was surrounded by a flurry of feathers as he nearly collided with the Primordial Dharma Body. The Immortal Bell, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, the Spiritual Treasure Killing Sword, and other weapons rained down upon him, forcing him to retreat continuously. The Immortal Phoenix Blood splattered, crystal clear and dazzlingly beautiful, yet beneath its brilliance lay the most terrifying killing intent.

The Immortal Emperor's heart sank.

A harsh reality has emerged: without external intervention, even his most powerful methods cannot break through the blockade imposed by Yan Ming and the others.

If this continues, he might be worn down to death, and when the most critical moment arrives, even his immense magical power will not be able to stop him.

In the late Primordial Era, the Undying Emperor's fourth transformation was not completely successful, and he was essentially half-destroyed. For a long time afterward, he was healing his injuries until the Desolate Ancient Era when he returned to the right path and began his fifth slumber, but he encountered many setbacks.

First there was Wushi, and now a rising star from the Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm has arrived.

This made him think of the Dao of Fortune circulating in the Immortal Realm, and when his own fortune started to decline.
