Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 163 No Beginning and No End

World War I shocked the era, and the killings terrified all living beings on Earth.

In this era where the Dao of Sacrifice is not prominent, a Celestial Emperor who can ruthlessly slay those who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation is invincible, and is a being who has sacrificed the Dao.

Xu Yuanming then devoured another Lu Jin Sheng Hua and the Great Explosive Dragon Immortal Emperor, causing his cultivation level to rise sharply without any discomfort.

He had accumulated his skills for too long before, and only needed one more step to make rapid progress.

Now they had reached the final moment, and Xu Yuanming had only one path before him: the sacrificial ceremony.

For others, the realm of sacrificial rituals is a point that is unattainable in the mortal world.

Every Quasi-Immortal Emperor is a protagonist of the world in their respective era, and among the protagonists of each era, only a very few can become Immortal Emperors.

Among these Immortal Emperors, they were further divided into four levels, and then they reached the ultimate level of sublimation.

Every step is a world of difference, and only a few can compete with it. Crossing borders can no longer be done as casually as before.

Among these dead ends, those that can become sacrificial offerings are pitifully few.

After the era of the Creator God ended, apart from the mysterious progenitor, only a handful of people in the entire world ventured into the realm of sacrificial rituals.

Pollen Emperor, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, Ruthless Emperor, and Chu Feng.

Of course, as things unfolded, Wushi and Yaoyao would also become sacrificial figures.

Even more people will become them, but this will also bring the blessings of the Three Emperors.

Very few people can truly reach the realm of ritual.

However, Xu Yuanming was different, just as those immortal emperors had said.

Xu Yuanming had been practicing the Dao for a long time. Since he was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, his Dao had changed. He no longer took destiny as the main factor and devoured other Daos as secondary factors. Instead, he chose to unify all things into one.

Including destiny, all the great principles become "one," which is the most original and ordinary great principle, or the great principle itself.

The things done in the realm of sacrificial rituals all return to "one".

He was performing the ritual from beginning to end.

"I am Huanzhen. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help in eliminating this scourge for the people and avenging my brother."

This is the same Immortal Emperor who had a grudge against Immortal Emperor Yingzun. He led the way to congratulate Xu Yuanming.

Xu Yuanming glanced at it and casually said, "I'm only doing this for myself."

The Illusionary Immortal Emperor was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "What you say is absolutely right. You have brought blessings to all people with your own strength. I admire your sense of responsibility in order to win the world."

Xu Yuanming gave him a deep look, feeling as if there was a figure looming behind him.

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

The remaining Celestial Emperors arrived one after another. After watching Xu Yuanming depart, one of them murmured to himself, "Do you think he might be the creator god...?"

"Fellow Daoist, be careful what you say! This matter should not be spoken carelessly!"

"Besides that, what else could it be?"

"He appeared in this world without anyone noticing, and possesses such heaven-defying combat power. He'll probably reach the Dao realm in less than a billion years, or even sooner! Who do you think he is?"

"We can't guess in that direction! If this gets back to those powerful sacrificial cultivators, we'll all be in deep trouble!"

"To be honest, apart from the son of the creator god, I really can't think of any other reason why such an extraordinary being could exist..."

"Oh, I see. I thought you were guessing it was his father..."

"How dare you! How dare you, a mere Immortal Emperor, speak ill of the Creator God? Take this sword strike, you traitor, don't run!"

……

……

Xu Yuanming returned to his monastery, and now his fame had spread far and wide; almost every living being in this era knew of him.

A new 'king' has emerged. In this era, only beings in the realm of sacrificial rituals can be called kings. However, Xu Yuanming's combat power is too heaven-defying. Even the Immortal Emperor who has reached the pinnacle of his cultivation has no chance of fighting back against him.

Based on Xu Yuanming's previous achievements, many people believe that although Xu Yuanming has not yet achieved the Dao of Sacrifice, his strength is not afraid of beings at the Dao of Sacrifice level at all.

Xu Yuanming closed his eyes, comprehending the Great Dao of the Sacrifice Dao. Gradually, time reversed, and after a period of darkness, the scene turned upside down.

……

……

"Immortal Emperor of Destiny, you've awakened?"

The supreme incarnation of reincarnation saw the familiar figure at the end of the ancient bridge and, after it stirred, tried to ask.

Xu Yuanming opened his eyes, felt the power within his body, and nodded.

"I have reached a point of transcendence at the end of my journey."

"?"

The Supreme Avatar of Reincarnation was dumbfounded. Wasn't it agreed that this mission would lead to becoming an Immortal Emperor?
How could things have progressed so quickly, reaching a point of profound transformation?
He took a single step and went directly from Quasi-Immortal Emperor to Immortal Emperor Perfection? And judging from his momentum, he might even be approaching the same realm as the Lord of the Dead End and the woman wearing the ghost mask.

Yes, that's right.

That great battle ended. The Ruthless Great Emperor achieved the Dao of Sacrifice in the face of certain death, eternally annihilating the Lord of Certain Death. Now he has vanished, and no one knows where he went.

This is definitely a joyous occasion. In the original setting, after Shi Hao and Ye Fan died in battle, the Ruthless Great Emperor would break through to the Sacrifice Dao, face five strange Sacrifice Dao Ancestors alone, and even kill one of them.

Now we can give her enough time to make a breakthrough.

Just then, a giant eyeball appeared from the horizon.

"Unbelievable! You actually succeeded! And you've even reached the pinnacle of enlightenment! And you're not far from our level. Truly amazing! Throughout history, there has never been a more talented person than you."

This chilling sigh manifested itself in the dead end.

Sacrifice to the Way!

Those beings who know some inside information and understand the true level of the newcomer must be the mysterious progenitor.

Xu Yuanming laughed and said, "You old fool, I told you, when I come back, I will definitely kill you."

……

……

Battlefield between two worlds.

It was a thin old man who came from the heavens. He looked at the desolate heavens and said in a deep voice.

"This world is about to face reckoning. The patriarch's decree has been directed at one person. Someone is trying to break through an incredibly terrifying place, and has even made progress."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Daoyi exclaimed in surprise, "Who is that? Is it 'him'?"

Everyone knew who he was talking about. The thin old man fell silent. He didn't want to be struck by lightning again. If things continued like this, he wouldn't be able to save his cultivation, let alone his life.

"Enough with the talk, let's hurry up and unify the land! Not long ago, many of the Dao Ancestors from beyond the heavens died. It's a rare occurrence, but unfortunately, that person went down a dead end and can never come back."

Someone present knew who this person was.

"Who? Is it him? Has he already reached such a level? Will he be a Celestial Emperor next time he appears?!"

The Black Emperor was somewhat timid, after all, such a thing had happened. After Xu Yuanming's intervention, he understood that his magic was almost perfected and had reached this era.

Now that he finally knows the truth, how could he not be happy?
Cao Yusheng, a decaying corpse standing nearby, suddenly burst into laughter and shouted, "That's my brother! As long as he returns, everything will be over!"

Upon hearing this, the gaunt old man's gaze fell upon the two of them, and he sneered, "You'd better not say such things. What if some forbidden beings from the heavens find out..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what the last sentence meant.

"who is it?"

Suddenly, a Celestial King asked a question.

Cao Yusheng said with a proud expression.

"That guide had a master-disciple relationship with the emperor, was the creator of the Three Heavenly Emperors, and is a legend from ancient times. With immense power, he intervened in the past of countless immortal emperors from the modern era."

The thin old man didn't believe it and scoffed, "How is that possible? If the road isn't completely blocked, how could you possibly do it... Never mind, I can't explain this to you."

"Now we must hurry up and unify the world."

Jiudao nodded: "We can't rely on them for everything. There must be something else going on if they don't manifest. What we are facing now may only be the surface. They have already blocked the supreme being."

Cao Yusheng laughed and said, "Of course, you don't even know whose brother you are."

No one dared to speak ill of Cao Yusheng, not even this now-thin old man who held the decree of Heaven.

The fat man with the rotting corpse was indeed no ordinary person.

……

……

clack clack...

The decree of the frail old man shattered, and a being descended from the heavens—a being who had truly reached the end of the road.

"How...how is it possible?"

How could such an invincible being emerge from this small universe, just to choose the position of Heavenly Emperor?

The eerie Immortal Emperor sighed, "It's actually him! He's still alive? Has his path to enlightenment come to an end? I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise!"

An unexpected surprise?

What do you mean?
No one understood the meaning of those words. The next moment, in the darkest place in all the heavens and myriad realms, at an altar, the body of a terrifying being was shattered.

Right at the feet of a creature, he leaned against the altar, a sword of the Emperor wrapped around his legs, and laughed as he played with the head of the chief priest.

"Look at you all, so impatient! One high priest died, and now another one comes along. Is this a buy-one-get-one-free deal? Perfect! I haven't had my fill of killing yet. I'll use your true blood to forge my path of sacrifice!"

The gaunt old man from the heavens felt as if he were dreaming. There was actually a being from the End of the Road Realm in all the myriad worlds, and he had even killed one!
Moreover, this terrifying and boundless being had been looking this way the whole time, watching him spout his wild words!

The eerie Immortal Emperor said coldly, "Who said I'm the only one?"

Indeed, he was just a vanguard; the real deal was someone else.

The progenitor!

The progenitor of the sacrificial arts has emerged from seclusion and personally presided over the grand ceremony of this era.

The playful smile on Emperor Bone's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a serious expression, and he burst into a tirade of curses.

"You son of a bitch, you only killed one strange Immortal Emperor, was that really necessary?"

He thought that at most two more strange Immortal Emperors would come, but he never expected that a Primordial Ancestor at the Sacrifice Dao level would personally come out of seclusion to take action against him!

The eerie ancestor sneered, "Back then, due to carelessness, your 'that one' broke through to the next level in a desperate situation and became a sacrificial being. How could we possibly allow that to happen again?"

As soon as he finished speaking, in a forbidden ancient land, the light of day suddenly appeared, and a complete evolutionary system visible to the naked eye began to burn, suppressing the endless Great Dao.

In the end, only one figure remained. That person, with his back to all living beings, emerged from the darkest place in the world and pierced through a hole in the heavens.

"That...that's the Great Emperor!"

Upon seeing this, the Black Emperor couldn't help but rub his eyes, tears streaming down his face without him even realizing it. "I...I knew you weren't dead!"

The Great Emperor Wushi, one of the Three Heavenly Emperors!
He has been revived and has completed his journey through the Immortal Emperor realm, achieving the Dao of Sacrifice.

At this moment, everyone noticed that there was another Immortal Emperor beside him, but he was in very poor condition.

That person was also quite strong. He waved his hand, noticing the way everyone was looking at him.

Emperor Wushi looked ashamed.

"Don't cry. I was already dead, but the Jade Emperor saved me before I died. I misled him, causing him to forcefully break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and take me away. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

After many years, the name of the Jade Emperor once again spread throughout the heavens and myriad realms.

So many years have passed, and the Jade Emperor's injuries have not healed. When he first entered the realm of Immortal Emperor, he forcibly broke through the barrier and rescued the Great Emperor Wushi from the hands of a strange Immortal Emperor.

As for the other two, it wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that he simply couldn't do it.

The Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Wushi have always been rumored to be having an affair. From the time the Great Emperor Wushi was born, this ancient celestial being who was about to become an immortal helped him.

The two had many dealings before, but no one knew about this matter except for Xu Yuanming and the current Jade Emperor.

The eerie progenitor looked solemn. His enemy had become a sacrificial being, which forced him to be cautious. Fortunately, the enemy was only a newcomer to this field and could not cause any trouble yet.

"Even if you're not dead, you've only just entered the realm of sacrificial arts. I've been at this level for a long time. How could you possibly be my match?"

The Great Emperor Wushi smiled and said, "Nothing more than my killing you."

Having said that, he emerged from the darkest place and charged towards the world.

As for Zhang Bairen, he was in a daze. His injuries were too severe. After rescuing Emperor Wushi, he was besieged many times. That time, he was almost knocked down from the Immortal Emperor realm.

At this moment, his realm was stable, but his primordial spirit was also partially corrupted. If it weren't for the intervention of the Great Emperor Wushi, he might have already fallen into darkness.

Emperor Bone, who had been wearing a mournful face, suddenly burst into laughter. He looked kindly at the current high priest and chuckled, "Oh, isn't this so-and-so? Why aren't you laughing now? If you're not laughing, then I'm going to laugh, hehehehe..."

The roles have now reversed, but looking at it this way, it's as if Emperor Bone Brother is the villain.

The eerie Immortal Emperor's expression turned hostile. "I refuse to believe you are truly invincible. Countless eons ago, you fell into darkness. Although you have manifested now, I will sever your very essence this time, annihilating you forever!"

Mentioning this matter, Emperor Bone's lips twitched. He had just become an Immortal Emperor when he died, at the height of his power as the Heavenly Emperor, when he believed he could defy the heavens. And now this matter was brought up again.

"How dare you! This Heavenly Emperor will surely kill you!"
