Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 153 Invincible
As Xu Yuanming approached this place, he became increasingly certain that this ancient bridge was extraordinary, as several Immortal Emperors had died inside it.

Countless eons ago, two Immortal Emperors of this world joined forces to shield this place. However, after their deaths, the Ruthless Great Emperor shattered all order with a single sword and charged in alone.

With a boom, Xu Yuanming reached out and the Great Dao Sword landed in his hand. He looked at the remaining fifty-odd Great Dao systems and gently swung it.

As the sword light fell, the ancient bridge trembled violently, and then all the main roads collapsed.

The moment it burst open, Xu Yuanming swallowed it all.

Immediately afterwards, another sword came.

This was the first sword he wielded after leaving the pass.

With a loud crash, the ancient bridge was pierced open, revealing a path for him. All the so-called marks and obstacles on the main road were utterly ineffective.

It was an ordinary sword strike, but the destructive power it contained surpassed that of any other sword in the world.

Behind him, all the Dao Ancestors of the entire world arrived.

Apart from the remaining two supreme incarnations, the other supreme incarnations also arrived.

Seeing Xu Yuanming's immense power, one could only sigh.

Although Xu Yuanming has not yet reached that level, the strength he is currently displaying is by no means inferior.

I don't know how such a being could possibly come into being.

"No...could it be that the creator god tacitly approved it?"

This voice was unfamiliar; even the most ancient supreme incarnation had no recollection of it.

At the end of the dead end, a woman emerged, looking at Xu Yuanming's figure and murmuring to herself.

Supreme Being!

Everyone's hearts stirred. When did such a supreme being appear on the road to ruin?

The supreme avatar of reincarnation respectfully asked, "May I ask, senior, who is the Creator God? What is his identity?"

The woman said, "I am the creator of this place, or in other words, the 'Lord of the Realm'. In the past, when the heavens were first born, someone came into contact with the source and became a being at the end of the road. The so-called source is the masterpiece of that creator god."

The end of the road is not the end!

Above that, there are even higher realms!

The supreme incarnation of reincarnation then asked, "And what about you, senior?"

The woman said, “I have long since died. This place used to be the heavens, but after the great battle, I died and this place became a forbidden area. Today, the arrival of that being has awakened me. He is at the level of a Dao Ancestor, yet he possesses the strength of the end of the road. No one but the creator god could have done this.”

These Dao Ancestors opened their mouths. They had only guessed that Xu Yuanming was going to become the supreme being at the end of the road, but they never expected that he would become that being now.

The supreme being of all tribulations seized upon the other's words, muttering to himself, "Does this mean the other party isn't at the end of the road yet, but can already fight against beings at the end of the road? Absurd... utterly absurd! It's like a dream, unbelievable!"

The woman nodded: "That's right. If it were just one witness who had exhausted all his strength, I wouldn't have woken up. Just like that empress with the ghost face, her strength is quite remarkable, almost at my level."

"Your level, what do you mean?"

"That's right, it's the 'Sacrifice Path,' a realm that transcends the end of the path, the realm of those few beings above the heavens. The former Pollen Empress was also at this realm... and in the present day..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, time reversed, and a lotus flower spread out, filling all the deep abyss pits.

All living beings were in a daze. In that instant, a sword soared into the sky, tearing through the heavens.

On the main road, a woman dressed in white and wearing a ghost mask stood in the sky.

She exuded an unparalleled murderous intent, as if she would attack the woman if she uttered another word.

"You're unwilling to fight, and neither am I. Even if I were still alive, I might not be able to suppress you. I have a feeling that you only need a life-or-death battle to break through to our level. But right now, I'm no match for you, and you certainly don't want to create such a commotion, because..."

The sword flashed again, but this time it wasn't a warning; instead, it was aimed at the woman's head.

"You actually dare to lay a hand on me?!" the woman exclaimed in shock.

Given this situation, shouldn't the two of them have each taken a step back? Why is the other party ignoring everything and attacking her directly?

The Ruthless Emperor said, "You know about this, so I'm going to kill you."

"Why don't we sit down? I too died at the hands of those beings from the heavens. Why don't we...?"

The woman wanted to say something more, but how could the Ruthless Emperor give her a chance? All she received in response was boundless killing intent and sword light.

"kill!"

The Ruthless Emperor gave a light rebuke, and the Emperor Sword in his hand unleashed its full power.

"Hmph, in the end, you haven't even completed the Dao ritual. You're just a supreme being who has reached the end of the path and has been sublimated. How dare you lay a hand on me? Although my physical body is dead, my primordial spirit is immortal and will live on forever. Those ancestors only signed treaties with me, not eternally annihilated me. How much more so you!"

The woman no longer concealed her intentions. She now had the advantage of timing and location in the battle, and her cultivation level was even higher than that of the Ruthless Great Emperor. She did not believe that the other party could kill her.

……

……

The ancient bridge radiated boundless light, with various Dao patterns intertwining. Under Xu Yuanming's sword strike, the ancient bridge underwent a great change.

The boundless bridge bears the weight of an abyss, and everything in the deep space is cracking.

However, Xu Yuanming made a move. Looking at the current situation, he directly drew the Sword of the Great Dao and slashed it. The eerie aura around the ancient bridge dimmed, and the terrifying patterns extinguished.

The ancient bridge began to reverse, and all the attacks began to turn back, returning to their previous state.

Xu Yuanming was somewhat surprised. He felt that he was no less powerful than the Immortal Emperor, but after this attack, the ancient bridge was actually healing.

As soon as Xu Yuanming stepped inside, he saw the wonders within. This mystery did not frighten him; on the contrary, it excited him even more.

His desire to become a Celestial Emperor has now become almost an obsession.

This is a great bridge. Beneath the bridge lies a vast expanse of countless worlds, where countless enormous and boundless beings lie dead, their bodies petrified and their spirits forever silenced. There are even three indescribable bodies.

That power was simply otherworldly, extremely terrifying.

"Three Immortal Emperors, yet they still perished." Xu Yuanming did not stop. His thoughts were heavy. Without becoming a true Immortal Emperor, what were the chances of him reaching the end?
There were still corpses ahead. The corpses of Dao Ancestors were worthless here. Countless Dao Ancestors had died throughout countless eons, and this place had undoubtedly witnessed countless battles. Now, their bodies had completely lost their Dao essence, and even their systems had completely collapsed. Even Xu Yuanming could not revive them.

This place truly is hell, the final resting place of all souls, a realm that few have been able to reach since time immemorial, yet here they die mysteriously.

Deep within the end, there were six beings, one of whom was severed, as if he had transcended the world.

In terms of appearance, they include men and women, old and young, but they all eventually take human form. Their true race is untraceable and indescribable.

This scene was exposed in a dead end, because Xu Yuanming had cut open the barrier of the Bridge of Death.

The remaining Dao Ancestors are no longer capable of making amends.

The only one who can do this is the owner of this place, but she herself is now in a precarious situation.

Who would have thought that the Ruthless Great Emperor would be so domineering? No matter what conditions the woman, the Lord of the Dead End, offered, she only had one word in her mouth: kill.

They didn't care about this battle. Apart from the Dao Ancestor, no one knew the identities of these two people. In fact, they had already disappeared when they arrived.

How could the master of a dead end possibly let others know that he was begging for mercy after being killed?

The other beings remained silent. When they saw the truth about the Bridge of Death, all the superhumans were horrified. Among the six people deep inside, why had one woman disappeared? And among the remaining five, one was extremely shallow.

With a single glance, Xu Yuanming could see through hundreds or even thousands of years of history as he gazed at the past of this ancient bridge.

He was shocked when he saw it again.

These six people had died long ago, and one of them was completely obliterated, disappearing from the world forever.

One of them, the Immortal Emperor who had previously been on the verge of death, was killed by the Ruthless Great Emperor, and then devoured by Xu Yuanming.

At this moment, he was the most insignificant figure.

This person died long ago, but came back to life under the pen of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Xu Yuanming asked, "Who are you?"

An old man spoke up: "In the past, we were defeated by the heavens, and this is how we survive."

"Really? I doubt it." Xu Yuanming sneered.

One of the young men shook his head and finally sighed, "Young man, although you haven't reached the end of the path, your strength is by no means lacking. We are not willing to get entangled with you."

He was very calm and showed no signs of killing intent.

Instead, a woman standing next to the old man spoke up: "What important business do you have here? Such a grand display, so lacking in manners, I really don't know how your teachers taught you."

Before Xu Yuanming could speak, another woman took over and continued speaking.

"Where do you come from, from the heavens above? You are merely a Dao Ancestor, yet you possess the strength of a Dao Ancestor. Could it be that they are trying to break through the Sacrifice Dao and become a completely new existence?"

This was the Immortal Emperor who had been swallowed by Xu Yuanming. He looked at Xu Yuanming with no goodwill. Although he was reflected again by the Bridge of Death, the person in front of him was completely unreasonable.

When the two first met, Xu Yuanming clearly stared at him for a while, his gaze as if he were looking at food.

Xu Yuanming said calmly, “I am not from the heavens above, nor do I come from the heavens. I am just an ordinary seeker of the Dao from all the myriad worlds. I have come here today only to seek the path to becoming an Immortal Emperor.”

"Immortal Emperor? It seems you and that woman with the ghost mask come from the same underworld. That's quite remarkable, reaching this level in such a barren place. But young brother, you've startled me. After all, in a one-on-one fight, I'm not confident I could defeat you. But, did you come here to deal with us?"

This was a young girl, who looked extremely playful, but that was all she was looking at; the other party was a genuine Immortal Emperor.

Having come this far, how can one avoid having their hands stained with the blood of others?

There was one last person among them. He didn't say a word, but just stared coldly at Xu Yuanming, as if he was ready to make a move at any moment.

"Deal with us? Then kill you first!" The once calm boy seemed to have become a different person. He suddenly spoke without any warning, with immense power. His hair, in twelve different colors, flew up, each symbolizing a supreme path that had reached its end.

The instant he raised his hand, lightning, flames, ice...

Twelve different elements manifested, each like a tide; once it fell, even a vast realm would instantly sink and collapse.

However, these are all minor matters. Even a Dao Ancestor who has undergone transformation would be completely annihilated if he touched even a trace of them.

However, all of this vanished into nothingness with a mere flick of Xu Yuanming's hand.

"Just kill him!"

The Immortal Emperor who had been swallowed by Xu Yuanming could no longer sit still. He had long wanted to take action against Xu Yuanming, and now he got up. He could only stay with that young man. As he set off, the rules of the entire Dead End began to tremble, and the endless abyss was thrown into turmoil.

“I have just emerged from seclusion and need to practice my skills!” Xu Yuanming said.

“Fellow Daoist, we all know why you came here. You were never meant to die a peaceful death, so why are you putting on this act?”

The woman spoke at this moment, and she made no attempt to hide her murderous intent.

Then she smiled brightly, with an innocent and naive expression, and said, "You are an outsider, I can't possibly trust you. No matter how peculiar you are, you are still an enemy, and in the end, you will only face death!"

She also got up. Although she seemed easy to talk to, her stance remained unchanged.

As they stood up, a shower of light rose up, threatening to engulf the entire dead bridge.

"Fellow Daoist, it's not that I can't, but Heaven won't allow it. May you have a safe journey." The old man stood up at this moment, and in that instant, the entire world seemed to stand still.

“If all of you were to intervene, this place would be in considerable chaos. As one of the six chosen by the desperate path, it would be difficult for me to suppress the strangeness at this moment.” In the end, only the mature woman remained.

"Don't worry, it's just dealing with his Dao Ancestor. No matter how much he exceeds the limits, he's still within this range!" The Twin-Legged Immortal Emperor said coldly, directly forming a Great Dao Fist Seal to attack.

At this moment, everyone noticed that beneath the mature woman, an endless stream of strange substances was boiling.

Six people?

Aren't there only five people here?
Where is the last woman?
The answer is that she transcends the dead end, and the master of the dead end is defeated time and time again. The last person she has chosen wants to kill her.

This former Dao Ancestor, who was clearly in my grasp yesterday, how come I am no match for him today?

This person has clearly not yet attained the Dao of Sacrifice, yet his combat power is terrifying.

The Ruthless Great Emperor, clad in battle armor, flicked his fingers, sending thousands of feathers flying, as if he did not belong to this world.
