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

Chapter 305 Blood Sacrifice to the Undying Taoist

When?
By the way, it probably started from the later years of Taigu.

With the fall of the Primordial Phoenix Court, the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality could no longer prolong his life. He went into hibernation in his fourth life, undergoing a rebirth and transformation. He barely survived by relying on incomplete ancestral techniques, but this also left him with hidden injuries.

As Yan Ming had suspected, the Undying Emperor had not mastered the True Phoenix Technique.

Like the old story of the true dragon prince Ge Gu—he came from the Phoenix Clan of the Immortal Realm, but he was not considered a main lineage. At least, his branch never produced a quasi-Immortal King, nor did it produce any masters comparable to the Immortals of the Mortal World.

Moreover, he was still young when he encountered the Immortal Realm Rift and had not yet received the True Phoenix Inheritance from the system.

After arriving at the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, this five-colored divine phoenix underwent several trials and tribulations, achieving the Great Perfection of the Nine Heavens and reviving its bloodline. However, it only obtained a partial mastery of the scattered techniques. Nevertheless, it seemed to have divine assistance in the path of fortune, and its journey was smooth sailing.

He defeated powerful enemies, paid homage to the Emperor, obtained the Immortal Bell, entered the killing formation, and fought a battle against the heavens... In the end, he won the Heavenly Heart Mark, changed the Heavenly Venerable to the Ancient Emperor, and ushered in a brand new era.

From that moment on, he was revered as a god by countless beings, his majesty rivaling that of an emperor.

However, the years in the Dharma-ending Age are always so merciless.

He is a spirit of the Immortal Realm, and because of his inertia of immortality, he possesses an 'original sin' in this ancient world.

To this end, he consumed more than one immortality elixir fruit and also took the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, accumulating for tens of thousands of years, preparing for his next life.

Finally, he succeeded, beginning a new life. At the same time, his bloodline was sublimated, and he awakened the core inheritance of the True Phoenix Clan, obtaining ultimate skills including Phoenix Nirvana, True Phoenix Immortal Technique, True Phoenix Heaven-Burning Technique, True Phoenix Immortal Body, Phoenix Cry, Flying Phoenix Claw, and Heavenly Phoenix Power.

However, he also failed. The Great Dao scars appeared in the late Nirvana stage, almost causing his demise. Fortunately, there was a technique called 'Ten Phoenix Nirvana Technique' in the ancestral arts, which allowed him to break free with difficulty.

Then, to heal his Daoist wounds, he went into hiding.

But that wasn't enough; he began hunting creatures that had never cut off their own flesh.

One day, a path to immortality opened in the future. An old emperor rushed in and almost cleared the way. At the last moment, he was cut in half by a celestial blade, and his two severed bodies fell deep into the path to immortality, his efforts in vain.

That person's title was Taiyin.

He obtained the essence and blood of the Human Emperor, and at that moment, a will in the darkness was resisting him.

He refined the essence blood, but the improvement in his injuries was not obvious. Therefore, he painstakingly planned the collision of the forbidden zone and obtained the essence blood of several supreme beings after the divine war.

Then, that violent, mischievous monkey actually escaped the Heavenly Blade's fatal attack...

The ending of the ancient era was not perfect. Unable to gather the essence blood of the ten emperors, he had to fall into a deep sleep and was forced to heal himself in this time-consuming method.

Now it seems that my fate changed from the moment that human died.

Everything went wrong after that, until today...

For tens of thousands of years, the Yinghuo Chaos Cave has been locked in a standoff. Was it Wushi who was his enemy, or this primordial remnant world?
Now, they've used the Golden Crow to set up a trap, aiming to kill him!
The Immortal Emperor thought very deeply, or rather, this kind of thinking had always been there. His first half of life was too glorious, and when compared with his later life, the contrast between the two was too stark.

However, he always believed that all of this was guided by the vague will of the world, rather than by human intervention. After all, that human named Taiyin from that day had long since perished, so how could he possibly interfere with his own destiny?

"Hey!"

From a gate of the array, a massive, jet-black seal flew out, its divine might as vast as the sea, pressing down upon the Undying Emperor's head.

The Undying Heavenly Blade was already broken, and the Taiyin Law permeated through it, rushing into the Undying Emperor's body, causing his expression to change slightly, and he immediately recognized this law.

"Is it that human weapon? It was clearly broken during the war of gods, but was it repaired by later generations...?" The Undying Emperor, entangled in the chains of order, barely managed to stabilize himself and engage in a great confrontation.

With the enhancement of the array diagram, the power of the Taiyin Seal has increased many times over, becoming indestructible and terrifying beyond compare.

"Buzz!"

Then, a dragon's roar resounded. At the edge of the universe, in the Immortal Ruins, a divine statue of an emperor shone brightly, and the imperial sword in his hand soared into the sky, as if it could shake the heavens and myriad worlds!
The Supreme Emperor Sword cuts through the universe, with a dragon-headed blade, nine-clawed sword patterns, and a dragon's tail forming the hilt. Even if ten thousand suns gathered together, none could match its brilliance.

It flew over, and the Immortal-Trapping Sword hanging on another array gate unleashed its power, enhanced by Dao traces, almost merging with the Great Xia Dragon Sword. The Undying Emperor struck with his hand, shattering the beam of light, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

The sword of that human race from the ancient times!
They dare to come here with just a few weapons.

I'm not old and frail yet!
“I can kill your master, and I can also destroy imperial weapons and gods.”

The Undying Emperor roared and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The Heavenly Blade, which was indestructible, was resurrected to its fullest extent. The endless white killing aura forcefully repelled the Supreme Emperor Sword, and a terrifying collision broke out between them.

The clashes and battles between the imperial artifacts were fierce, and such collisions could destroy one of them.

Clearly, the Undying Emperor was stronger; the Heavenly Blade shone brightly, while the Supreme Emperor Sword dimmed considerably, with a notch and several cracks appearing on its blade, indicating that it had suffered severe damage.

With a "thud," the Undying Emperor was struck on the shoulder. A celestial iron staff, gleaming brightly, traversed countless galaxies and crashed down, shattering the numerous five-colored chains that rattled and broke. The force of this attack was too violent, its murderous aura unparalleled, rarely matched even by any imperial weapon.

It's that monkey's weapon!

At this moment, Yan Ming chanted incantations, and a vast wave of energy rippled outwards. Behind him, golden light shone brightly, and a phantom of a temple appeared out of nowhere, its aura ethereal and sacred.

The statues of past enlightened beings enshrined by the Heavenly Court were all glowing, and imperial weapons were unleashed, awakened by the dark matter, rushing towards the battlefield of the Heavenly Venerables. This scene was truly unprecedented and unparalleled in history. If this continued, he would surely die.

In the past, Lingbao established a sword formation. Now, the twenty-four heavens have rotated, and imperial artifacts have been built. The divine formation diagram has been pushed to its limit. It is truly the most bloodthirsty in history. When it is fully activated, gods will be killed and immortals will be slain!

"If you're not immortal, what makes you think you can defy the heavens?" the Holy Cliff Body roared, no longer holding back, unleashing a dark talisman.
Inside, a body fell, as brilliant as billions of stars, and there was also a celestial source, with auspicious energy and rays of light. The primordial spirit inside screamed incessantly, causing the Undying Emperor's face to change drastically, his expression becoming ferocious, and he could no longer remain calm. This was actually his divine body.

"It's the Emperor, the supreme Emperor, save me..." The Immortal Daoist's primordial spirit was filled with shock and fear. His primordial spirit, which had been cut into several parts, was struggling and trying to reunite with his body.

At this moment, all four immortal swords flew up, left the array gate, and plunged straight into the immortal source, piercing through the imperial body, splashing up a boundless, overwhelming blood light.

The celestial bell tolls softly, signaling the start of the grand ceremony!
