Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 154 Kill
Outside the ancient bridge, all the Dao Ancestors in the Dead End were terrified. They hadn't expected that the Lord of the Dead End they had met before would be so powerful, and that he had more than one or two beings of this caliber under his command.

These beings were fighting there, and these Dao Ancestors couldn't participate at all, destined to become mere passersby on the path to becoming the only true Daoist.

"Can he win? To use the body of a Dao Ancestor to confront a being at the end of the road!"

The Supreme Being of All Calamities muttered to himself, touching his face, somewhat incredulous, finding the whole thing absurd.

"I don't know. The Dao Ancestor of Destiny is no ordinary person. His strength is like it is now, which cannot be arranged according to common sense. But the opponent is five manifested beings who have reached the end of their path. No one knows who is stronger until the outcome is decided."

The Supreme Avatar of Reincarnation sighed. Even the former owners of the Three Emperors' Weapons would have been defeated in a battle of this level.

One vs one is not on the same level as one vs five. Although these five supreme beings are not at their peak, they are still beings at the end of the road. In the eyes of beings in that realm, they are indeed not enough. However, the power of that realm can still kill countless Dao Ancestors with a single thought.

……

……

Inside the ancient bridge, above the abyss, all the large pits began to boil. It was a place that had been a shortcut to enlightenment since ancient times, and it was no exaggeration to call it this place. The erupting substances could instantly transform a being with no cultivation into a Celestial King without any burden.

Furthermore, one can become a Dao Ancestor within an era. If one resides here for many years and does not die, there is a slight possibility that one will become an Immortal Emperor of the End of the Road Domain in the future.

"kill!"

Xu Yuanming began to take the initiative. He felt he could suppress all of these creatures individually, but the attacks of the four phantoms of the creatures from the End of the Road would be troublesome for anyone.

These four are all Celestial Emperors, each capable of truly looking down upon everything in the past, present, and future. Throughout countless eons, only a few have managed to reach this level.

This battle was extremely fierce. It was like a decisive battle from the very beginning, and it was impossible for it to last. Everyone pushed their cultivation to the limit.

Logically speaking, it wouldn't be surprising if a battle between Immortal Emperors lasted for several epochs, but they chose to end the battle quickly, suppressing and killing Xu Yuanming to dissect his heaven-defying abilities.

The first young Immortal Emperor to make a move was clad in an immortal sword. When he attained enlightenment, he was stronger than the Pollen Empress, a power that was virtually untraceable. The world at that time was not what it is today, yet he still ultimately fell to the hands of the former eerie Immortal Emperor, now the eerie progenitor.

As the sword rises, twelve complete Dao principles flow through its blade and meander within its body.

The moment he raised his hand, the vast sea of ​​stars seemed to pale in comparison to the power of his sword, even as the river of time surged and roared.

However, the sword has not yet fallen; it is merely a manifestation of the way of the sword.

puff!
I couldn't see it. That sword was too fast. I could see all the movements, but I just couldn't dodge it or even detect it.

Xu Yuanming's body was forcibly pierced through. For many years, since he reached the pinnacle of immortality, he had never been injured again.

The sword light surged in the river of time, manifesting itself within the eras of the past, present, and future. Every point in time transformed into sword light, locking down all dimensions and connecting with destiny.

At the same time, Xu Yuanming's sword pierced through the brow of this young-looking Immortal Emperor. He took the blow head-on, choosing not to dodge, or rather, he couldn't dodge, so he had to choose the most foolish method.

At this moment, the old immortal emperor threw a punch, and the Great Dao that had previously transformed into sword light all collapsed. Under this punch, all laws were empty, and all were fleeting clouds.

The young immortal emperor waved her hand gently, each fingertip seemingly connected to the next, each movement capable of freezing time and extinguishing the past and present.

She has connected all the abysses in this area, and she is controlling this place that could silence even the Immortal Emperor. She intends to trap Xu Yuanming here and eventually kill him.

The only one left is that two-legged immortal emperor. Just like back then, when he fell into the abyss, all parts of his body were eternally silenced, but his legs remained immortal.

Beneath those legs, one spark of civilization after another rose, each spark symbolizing a cultivation system spanning countless eras. Some of these systems had even reached their peak, the path to becoming the supreme Immortal Emperor.

A strange immortal emperor once died at his feet, and was almost eternally silenced by him.

……

……

How long did the war last?
It was only a few moves, but it felt like it altered time and space; each strike seemed to span several epochs.

"You're nothing special after all. I thought the earliest beings to become supreme beings would be very strong, but in the end, you're just like this. The end of the road... you're not as strong as I thought!"

Xu Yuanming sighed, holding the Sword of the Great Dao, having already shattered the young Immortal Emperor's body twice.

"It is said that the realm of the end of the road has already transcended the scope of the Great Dao and is above the world, but I don't think so. Instead of protecting the past, why don't you let me kill you one by one, so that you can understand the Dao and perhaps you can go further, sublimate at the end of the road, or even sacrifice to the Dao."

"The past is the past. No matter what, I am now supreme. How dare you, a junior Dao Ancestor, underestimate me?!" The old man remained silent for a moment before launching his first offensive.

This battle shook the past, present, and future, affecting all timelines, even those trapped on the Bridge of Death in a desperate situation. It also had an impact on the world beyond, across countless realms, and even on the heavens themselves.

Just like how the Ruthless Great Emperor attacked the chief priest at the very beginning, as an Immortal Emperor, even if he couldn't leave this forbidden area which was almost like the Dao, it was still easy for him to influence the outside world.

"Why waste so much breath on him? Just kill him!"

The young Immortal Emperor was extremely emotionally unstable. He had actually had his body shattered twice by a junior who had not yet stepped into the End of the Path Domain.

Xu Yuanming turned around, and the sword of the Great Dao seemed to merge with an imperial sword. All things in the world were illusory beneath it.

Instead of attacking the old Immortal Emperor, he launched another attack on the young Immortal Emperor.

……

……

Xu Yuanming's Great Dao Sword broke, but he also successfully shattered the young sword master dozens of times, finally paying a huge price to completely dismantle his illusory image.

He cut off half of the body of the two-legged Immortal Emperor at the waist, leaving only his legs. However, this injury was nothing to the Immortal Emperor, who could return to his original state in an instant.

The other two Immortal Emperors were also in poor condition. Xu Yuanming completely abandoned his defense and was determined to kill them, even at the cost of injury.

During this process, Xu Yuanming was hit by several punches from the old man, his body was blown apart several times, and he was almost thrown into the abyss by the young immortal empress with her immense magic power.

Xu Yuanming almost died and was left to die forever in the abyss, but fortunately he killed that young immortal emperor.

He gave a miserable smile, then burst into laughter as if he had gone mad.

"He's insane! Insane! He killed a supreme being with the body of a Dao Ancestor!! If he's not insane, who is?!"

The strange, mature female immortal emperor who was guarding the palace sighed. This absurd thing had actually happened, right before his eyes.

“Destiny Dao…Destiny Immortal Emperor, today you kill him, and he will be resurrected in the future, but you will die here.”

At this point, the Twin-Legged Immortal Emperor was no longer as violent as before. He even changed how he addressed Xu Yuanming, and his tone changed from indifference to respect.

Throughout history, there has only ever been one person like Xu Yuanming.

To be able to suppress and kill a lifeless being in the Dao Ancestor's domain—regardless of how one acquired such strength or what methods were used—is truly admirable.

Even as enemies, they are mortal foes who must kill their opponents.

Even under these circumstances, we still admire Xu Yuanming's brilliant and unparalleled talent.

The Twin-Legged Immortal Emperor didn't use the realm they spoke of, but instead chose the "End of the Road" realm that Xu Yuanming mentioned. Immortal Emperor Realm!

Xu Yuanming's body was covered in wounds, almost beyond healing, and he was now completely exhausted.

Even he couldn't withstand the combined attack of four Celestial Emperors.

Fortunately, he killed that young Immortal Emperor.

Xu Yuanming grasped the body, and the Great Dao flickered, with one cultivation system after another rising from the abyss.

"No! Make your move! He's going to eat me up too, just like he 'ate' me!"

The Twin-Legged Immortal Emperor anticipated this and quickly took action to subdue Xu Yuanming.

The other two Immortal Emperors also made their move.

Boom!

Xu Yuanming's entire body was being burned by the Great Void Fire, and countless Great Daos were reviving within him, threatening to annihilate him.

This pain was excruciating, yet it did not cause him the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Having come this far, he felt no regret whatsoever, or rather, he had never felt this way before.

Before coming here, Xu Yuanming had already made all his choices: to become an Immortal Emperor.

Having traveled through time for so long, I've come this far.

The Great Way leads to the heavens, and I am the only one there.

Xu Yuanming seized the supreme body of the young immortal emperor and devoured it entirely.

call……

As the wind passed, Xu Yuanming closed his eyes slightly, and a second complete and flawless Immortal Emperor Dao appeared within his body, reaching its peak in an instant, nourishing himself and being reborn from the ashes.

Xu Yuanming waved his hand, and all the strange forces in the area rose up and rushed out of the abyss.

The sudden turn of events severely injured the mature female immortal emperor on the spot. Before she could recover, the strange power of the place enveloped her.

The mature female immortal emperor, corrupted by something eerie, began to change, and her incomparably holy Dao system began to emit black gas.

The Mysterious Immortal Emperor!

She transformed into a bizarre immortal emperor!

The next moment, Xu Yuanming waved his hand again, and all those strange powers swept over, along with the mature woman who had transformed into a strange immortal emperor, and they were all consumed by Xu Yuanming as nourishment.

The old immortal emperor was shocked and said, "How can you wield such strange power? The Primordial Ancestor?! Impossible, who is it?"

puff!
When he threw another punch, Xu Yuanming cleaved his fist in two with a single sword strike, then the sword pierced his skull.

Despite enduring fierce attacks from the other two, Xu Yuanming locked onto the man and prepared to kill him first!
In an instant, time reversed, and after an unknown amount of time, when he reappeared, the old immortal emperor had already been killed!

The young girl Immortal Emperor and the two-legged Immortal Emperor were terrified. Xu Yuanming's strength had exceeded the limit. This kind of strength was no longer the ordinary combat power of an Immortal Emperor. Even among Immortal Emperors, he could be ranked among the top.

Although they are not in their true forms at this moment, but merely in the form of Immortal Emperors reflected by the master of this place, they are still Immortal Emperors. Even if they are weak, they should not be indiscriminately killed by a Dao Ancestor!
As expected, the old man was beheaded, and his Dao system was also devoured by Xu Yuanming.

The young immortal emperor turned to flee, but quickly abandoned the idea.

This isn't like before, when you could run away if you couldn't win. At this level, how can you run away?
She was forced to launch an even more frantic attack, because if she didn't kill this person...

The young immortal emperor will die no matter where she flees.

Xu Yuanming had actually suffered a severe injury, but he showed no signs of fatigue. In fact, his mental state was exceptionally good, making people think that he had returned to his peak condition and that he had produced a time-space hourglass.

The moment it appeared, all of space and time was fixed.

The young immortal emperor once again connected with all the Great Daos in this place, and soon shattered the hourglass of time and space, and attacked again. Xu Yuanming let himself be cut down by the sword of the Great Dao once more.

At the same time, the illusory image of the sixth Ruthless Great Emperor, which was forming, moved.

Xu Yuanming wielded the Great Dao Sword, fighting against the Ruthless Great Emperor while chasing after the young Immortal Emperor. Finally, after exploding his body dozens of times, he killed the young Immortal Emperor.

After devouring the young Immortal Emperor, he faced alone the phantom of the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Two-Legged Immortal Emperor.

"You are truly invincible, but I will never understand why you have not become an Immortal Emperor until the day you die."

These are the dying words of the Two-Legged Immortal Emperor, who sought an answer from Xu Yuanming.

Xu Yuanming shook his head.

"Ok."

The Twin-Legged Immortal Emperor laughed bitterly, "In the end, all of us have come up empty-handed, and we're all going to die."

"puff!"

After a fierce battle, Xu Yuanming first cleaved him in two, and after dozens or even hundreds of cuts, he devoured his body again.

Afterwards, he shattered the illusory image of the Ruthless Great Emperor. In the instant it shattered, he instinctively reached out his hand, wanting to eat it.

Just then, a gaze fell from the sky.

The battle between the Ruthless Emperor and the Master of the Dead End has reached a fever pitch. The Ruthless Emperor cast a glance at Xu Yuanming after noticing his actions.

Xu Yuanming chuckled awkwardly, but his hands didn't stop working.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well get a good deal."

The Ruthless Emperor didn't speak, but only sighed.

Xu Yuanming has killed the phantom of the Six Paths Immortal Emperor in this battle, clearing away the powerful figures on the dead end. Now he is preparing to set off to explore the truth of the dead end.

Suddenly, the Bridge of Death began to shake, and energy erupted from the bottom of the abyss. He was overjoyed and devoured it all.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yuanming awoke and, relying on his body's instincts, staggered back a few steps before standing there on the Bridge of Death. Then, with a grab, he swallowed it whole.

This time, the improvement he received was negligible; he was left with only his original strength. Instead of increasing his power as before, he fell to the ground.

The two supreme incarnations, Samsara and Eternal Calamity, arrived here and, upon seeing this scene, hurriedly waved their hands.

"We just came to check out what was going on here, since the dead bridge is gone."
