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

Chapter 310 Unprecedented, the Path of Immortal Transformation Artifacts
From the forbidden zone of life in the Big Dipper to the many checkpoints of the ancient road in the starry sky, both saints and quasi-emperors were horrified. Some even lost control, trembling all over and collapsing.

Can Yan Ming fight five Venerables alone?
This is almost like a myth, too unreal.

"Impossible! How could someone who hasn't even attained enlightenment possess such combat power?"

"Is it because of the celestial bell? That shouldn't be the case."

The forbidden zone experienced a major earthquake, an unexpected turn of events. According to the plan, the five top experts should have been able to suppress the immortal artifact, if not shatter it, simply by suppressing it.

Throughout history, there have been very few celestial artifacts. Each one has an unparalleled reputation and can move even forbidden beings, but it is not invincible.

The Emperor's Origin Cauldron of All Things was destroyed once, shattered by the supreme beings in the God War.

Ultimately, it is people, not objects, who determine the rise and fall of heaven and earth!

But now, the Immortal Bell has overturned this point, surpassing the Immortal Cauldron in performance, making many people restless.

"Boom!"

The clock of time roared, its interior shimmering with dazzling golden crow blood. Strands of blood transformed into curtains that cascaded down into the clouds, constantly washing away and surging forth wave after wave of time. Countless wisps of clouds and mist rose from the cosmos, splashing and flowing, confronting the five deities.

Amidst the flashing blades, the Spirit Emperor's face was cold and stern. His hand seals became afterimages, revealing all sorts of forbidden chapters.

At this point, there's not much to say. The five supreme beings, who were originally determined to crush the enemy and suppress those who dared to resist, are now locked in a stalemate. Instead, they are trying to solidify Yan Ming's formidable reputation, which is intolerable to many.

"You're not qualified to replicate the Emperor!" the Beast God roared, his imperial power surging and colliding fiercely. White mist hung upside down, obscuring human figures, only golden crow shadows blooming continuously, densely covered with fine silk, flowing with primordial Dao rhythm.

"kill!!!"

Amidst the raging winds and thunder, a golden-winged roc soared ninety thousand miles into the sky, its boundless blood energy surging towards the heavens, violent and terrifying. The flawless ancient imperial laws were laid out, and with a single whip, it severed the world-shaking light of time.

The phoenix-winged gilded halberd exuded imperial aura, its wings slicing through the starry sky, as intense as the true sun, traversing the heavens, so dazzling as to take one's breath away.

In the forbidden zone of life, this ancient emperor harbored the deepest hostility towards Yan Ming, leading to the destruction of his clan, the loss of his children, and their dehumanization into mere tools for reproduction.

Under the same circumstances, the Ancient Emperor Qilin chose to accept, but he was different. Back then, Huang Xudao was captured by the Dark Heavenly Court founded by Yan Ming.

Although he was still alive and even had several children, and his cultivation level was advancing rapidly, reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm, in the eyes of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, he was killed at that moment. What remained was merely a shell, while his primordial spirit belonged to someone else.

He was never the ancient prince he once was...

Compared to others, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor paid a greater price for his ultimate sublimation. He might have been completely lost after the battle and turned into a weapon. However, he did not hesitate at all when he was born and forcefully fought his way out.

"Hey!"

Phoenix feathers swept across the starry sky, exquisitely beautiful. With a single stroke, the star field was cleaved in two, its power boundless and immense. The entire starry sky was split in two, and the Milky Way was broken. The sight was utterly terrifying.

His divine power is astonishing!
Even the ancient supreme beings were secretly amazed. This power was astonishing. The path of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was not without merit; there were both losses and gains.

Among the five, he was the only one who could shake Yan Ming's body, because his true form was an ancient imperial weapon forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold. After being integrated with the soul, bones, and blood, it became even more immortal, reaching an extreme.

But no one envies them. To become a soldier is a path of no return, as the pioneers have already experienced. Perhaps this battle will end in tragedy.

"boom!"

The great battle continued, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, chaos emerged, countless miles around sank, the void exploded, and black holes appeared.

Even a section of the mythical battlefield collapsed, the sun, moon, and stars vanished into thin air, all the scenery disappeared, and it broke apart inch by inch, turning into ashes.

This area was originally scarred by countless battles, intertwined with imperial networks, and surging with chaotic energy. It had endured the vicissitudes of time and was also protected by the remnants of the Heavenly Venerable's array.

But now all of that has become history, under the power of Yan Ming and the five supreme beings.

This is the ultimate collision!
A wisp of the battle's aftershocks crossed the distant starry sky and reached the extreme region, causing a hidden figure to tremble involuntarily.

This person is very special. He is born with immortal essence, with a flowing, hazy precious light. He has a terrifying aura of the Great Dao that suppresses all directions, like an ever-burning immortal lamp.

He was the Supreme Holy Spirit Embryo born from the Primordial Immortal Mine, one of the top geniuses of the Golden Age in Shrouding the Heavens, but now he has faded into obscurity.

Before it was even born, this life ended prematurely.

Neither Yan Ming, who fought all the way and instigated intergalactic wars, nor Ye Fan, who seized the Heavenly Heart Mark with the 'Harmony Flower', could compare to him.

All that was left for the beginning was self-imposed isolation.

"You haven't even attained enlightenment yet, but you're already above all emperors." Tai Chu's eyes shone brightly, gleaming with a fervent light.

Undoubtedly, Yan Ming's confrontation with the five supreme beings while possessing the power of the Ninth Heaven Realm was extremely impactful, causing this outstanding individual to involuntarily shout in his heart.

He submitted to the oppressive aura of this supreme master, yet he also hoped that Yan Ming could create a legend and defy the heavens.

This scene is not an isolated case; it has occurred in many star systems.

People like Zhang Bairen, a remnant of the chaotic ancient times, Emperor, a disciple of the Emperor, and Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Amitabha Buddha, all showed surprise as they witnessed the magnificent scene of the mythical battlefield and the sight of the current emperor's blood splattering across the starry river, leading to the collapse of the Dao.

Some people strengthened their beliefs and did not choose to close themselves off in the future, while others were filled with gloom and left with an indelible shadow in their hearts.

"Hey!"

The star field was reduced to ruins, meteorites flew through the vast sky, and chaos reigned, with all matter brought to a complete boil.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor transformed into a divine rainbow and charged down, his body and weapon becoming one, crystal clear and dazzling like blood blooming. Nine red phoenixes coiled around the halberd's edge, lifelike, gathering at the front end and together exhaling a sharp wisp of immortal golden energy!
This strike condensed all his Dao power, like a nine-phoenix spitting out rosy clouds. The sharp edge of the halberd was as clear as a blood diamond, dazzling and terrifying, chilling to the bone. It pierced through millions of miles of sky and arrived in front of Yan Ming in an instant.

"It's a top-grade weapon among ancient imperial weapons!" Yan Ming commented. This Phoenix Wing Gold Halberd was forged from Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, one of the Nine-Colored Immortal Gold, and infused with the essence, energy, spirit, soul, bones, and blood of an ancient emperor of the Blood Phoenix Clan, reaching an extreme level.

He saw more from Dao Jie's Golden Eyes. The other party was not far from awakening the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Profound Meaning. That special 'golden nature' was very similar to the blood glow that the Undying Heavenly Blade had spewed out in the past.

If one succeeds in rebirth, one might be able to forge a path distinct from the mundane world.

Does creating a celestial artifact count as becoming an immortal in the strict sense?
this is a problem.

If we consider lifespan, it should count, but the theoretical constraints remain. Immortal artifacts need nurturing and are often dormant, ultimately not as good as real life.

Furthermore, if the standards are raised, this kind of Dao attainment might only be considered 'quasi-immortal,' because the characteristics of immortality are more applied to the physical body of the artifact, while the artifact spirit has not undergone transformation.

Whether it's the spirit of the Five Elements Mountain from the Chaotic Ancient Era or the spirit of the Myriad Origin Cauldron painstakingly forged by the Emperor, setting aside their external appearances, their consciousness is far inferior to that of immortals of the same level.

The former was unable to exert dominance even when facing the remnants of the Immortal Palace.

The latter is even weaker... This is ultimately an incomplete path to immortality, but it has some reference value.

Yan Ming's gaze was sharp, and in an instant, many things came to mind.

"Keng!"

He caught the imperial weapon with his bare hands, his golden palm striking the phoenix-winged gilded halberd with a string of sparks, each one like a comet, shattering the void and falling into the spatial sea, where it would evaporate into boundless mist.

"kill!"

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor roared, and the Supreme Ancient Emperor Weapon that possessed him transformed into a living being, its feathers covering the sky, its red beak bright, and with a single wing strike, the galaxies in the universe collapsed, its gorgeous feathers shining brightly through the ages, shaking out terrifying ripples that shattered everything.

At this point, everything is illusory, and there is no turning back.

This is because Yan Ming dared to catch it barehanded. If it were anyone else, they would have been annihilated on the spot, and would have died without a doubt. Who could withstand that fierce imperial aura? They were far from being a match for him.

"Oh!"

A dazzling light burst forth from the void; it was the collision of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold and Supreme Yang Calamity Gold, illuminated by divine light returning to chaos.

The magnificent hand, speckled with blood, never retreated and withstood the bombardment.

"The weapon is excellent. If it were to be fused with my Emperor-Slaying Spear, it would be even more perfect, and becoming a celestial weapon would be no problem," Yan Ming said, staring at the divine halberd that had transformed into a magnificent phoenix. Such materials, which were close to awakening the profound mysteries of celestial metal, were extremely rare, even after searching the entire heavens and earth.

"Let's see if you have the life to take it!" Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor said coldly, but his heart sank. This young man's strength was beyond his imagination.

Outsiders only know that the Immortal Bell is powerful, but only those involved know the extent to which the person before them has reached.

It won't be much worse than when he was at his peak—this is a frustrating conclusion, that a junior from the Ninth Heaven has actually reached this point.

Yan Ming laughed and said, "The crimson gold is mine, and even your descendants are mine!"

In the end, his face turned cold, his hair stood on end, and he spat out a mouthful of innate primordial fire essence. Amidst the overwhelming light, a sword grass with nine leaves rose from the ground and rapidly grew stronger.

The twenty-four heavens stirred, and the secret runes of the character "前" spread across the sky, with nine leaves unfurling, their sharpness terrifying. They blocked the Spirit Emperor's Soul-Severing Blade, while the right hand held the Emperor-Slaying Spear, blocking the Peng Emperor.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a world-destroying power erupted from the cracked star space. It was the Beast God unleashing his might, his roar shattering the heavens. This place completely collapsed, many celestial bodies exploded and burned, and the star space collapsed!

Golden fish scales flew continuously. In the bright daylight, yin and yang energies surged, and a golden gourd of Dao carp appeared, then crashed down as if Mount Kunlun were pressing down. This was too astonishing.

The six supreme beings fought to a climax, and in the end, even the four spiritual treasure swords were summoned, cleaving through 108,000 realms and obliterating the Great Dao.

At that moment, the whole world was astonished!

Throughout the heavens and the earth, all living beings looked up at the starry sky, and were all awestruck.

All living beings trembled in fear; was this an attempt to destroy the world?
This attack was earth-shattering, and Yan Ming couldn't help but cough up blood. The five supreme beings had attacked at all costs, and in the end, they had injured her.

His eyes were incredibly sharp as he stared at Dao Li Ancient Emperor, who felt a chill run down his spine and then, filled with rage, charged forward.

"boom!"

The battle continued, with blood constantly dripping from Yan Ming's body as he fought with frenzied madness. The five Great Emperor-level figures, even when they went all out, could naturally destroy the star field, but they could hardly break Yan Ming's indestructible body. Despite the combined efforts of the five, the Immortal Bell, the Ancient Emperor's Robe, the Heart Lamp, and the Twenty-Four Mountain and Sea Pearls were still intact.

In terms of defense, even the Xuanming Ancient Emperor of the Undying Mountain is no match for him. Moreover, that tortoise shell is integrated into the Chaos Bell, and its material surpasses that of immortal gold and divine stone.

"kill……"

No one knows what kind of horrific battle took place. In this vast and desolate world, where no one can approach, the mythical battlefield descended into chaos, and the participants fought to the point of madness.

In the later stages, the Time Blood within Yan Ming's body was fully revived. Combined with the Immortal Bell, it created endless illusions and animated a long river of time, causing his enemies to retreat in defeat.

This is unparalleled grace!

Even the forbidden zone of life has fallen silent. If the Great Emperor of this era is like an insect and not worth caring about, his Holy Body has been torn apart multiple times by the Gu Diao Cuihuang, and he already has one foot in the gates of hell.

Another person defied the heavens and rose up, transforming into a great dragon, so powerful that it made people tremble. The rules that have existed since mythology may be completely broken by this young man.

"Hey!"

Finally, the sound of countless fish scales shattering rang out. Dao Li Huang paled, and the ripples of the Immortal Bell, numbering in the billions, almost covered the entire mortal world, freezing the fleeting beauty of that moment. Others tried to come to the rescue, but were blocked by the spiritual treasure killing formation, and were ultimately a moment too late.

In a life-or-death battle, even this slight delay is enough to crush an emperor!
Yan Ming made his move, the Emperor-Slaying Spear cleaved through eternity, forcefully piercing the ancient emperor's forehead bone. This strike was devastating, reaching its maximum speed, unleashing divine power, and possessing unparalleled might. It truly had the aura of being invincible under heaven.

The Spirit Emperor, the Roc Emperor, the Beast God, and the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor were all enraged and charged forward with all their might.

This attack shattered the entire mythical battlefield, shaking the river of time and causing immense devastation.

"Roar!"

Large swaths of blood were spilled as the ancient emperor roared and howled, his bloodied primordial spirit bursting forth, ready to fight again. Yan Ming had already rushed over like a ghost, and a Pearl of Mountain and Sea Stabilizer fell, creating a cloud of blood mist, turning the mythical battlefield crimson.

Another golden carp has joined the ranks of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings!
"puff!"

Blood splattered everywhere, Yan Ming remained indifferent, coughing up blood repeatedly, but his murderous aura remained undiminished. His golden eyes swept across the battlefield, and at this moment he was like a dark demon king, forcefully controlling the Dao Carp Golden Gourd. The secret divine marks of the character "兵" (soldier) circulated rapidly, attempting to refine this weapon. The Emperor-Slaying Spear was stained crimson, sending chills down one's spine.

This method, this technique, is something that even the ancient supreme beings in the forbidden zones feared greatly.

Even without reaching the pinnacle of power, the number of forbidden beings who have fallen under the Emperor-Slaying Spear has already exceeded two hands, thoroughly proving the name 'Emperor-Slaying'.

Throughout history, no one has ever committed so many atrocities.

"You killed Dao Li, leaving not even a bone. How can the word 'tragic' suffice to describe it?" The Spirit Emperor's eyes turned red. Living in the same forbidden zone, the former Lord of the Divine Ruins had been annihilated and killed by Yan Ming, and now another one had been lost. This was an unbearable injustice.
Yan Ming turned to the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor without turning his head, roared, and unleashed his strongest attack. Immortal fire was unleashed, flying across the sky and combining with the Spirit Treasure Killing Array to form a cage, imprisoning the beautiful and bewitching Blood Phoenix, intending to slowly torment him.

At this moment, the Spirit Emperor, Beast God, Peng Emperor and others began to decline in condition, while Yan Ming became more and more courageous in battle, and the situation completely changed.

"This……"

In another realm, the golden-red Gu Diao Cuihuang's expression suddenly changed as he watched helplessly as a fellow cultivator perished at the extreme, falling from his peak and suffering a gruesome death. This scene was heartbreaking.

In contrast, the pleasure he derived from ravaging the sacred body vanished, leaving only coldness and emptiness...
