Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 186 Mani Temple Xiang Fanchen, Three Great Void Realms Arrive Simultaneously

"Under the great leadership of His Majesty the Human Emperor, the human race of Yangzhou has recovered lost territory and suppressed the chaos of the demon race!"

"His Majesty the Human Emperor is a star deity descended from the heavens."

"Your Majesty... is the sun!"

……

As the thirteen prefectures of Yangzhou were gradually restored by the ever-growing demon-hunting army, the situation became increasingly dire.

Dawn's reputation spread throughout the land of Kyushu, from the whispers of the demon-hunting teams that ventured deep into the areas ravaged by the demon race, to the settlements of survivors.

Almost every survivor settlement that was of a slightly larger size and had some connection with the outside world had heard of this.

Within Yangzhou, in the heart of the Nine Provinces, a figure as great as the sun was born, comparable to Emperor Yu ten thousand years ago!
With the force of thunder, it crushed several Void Realm demonic beasts that had been dominating Yangzhou.

Furthermore, a new law was passed down!

Under the leadership of this emperor, the survivors of Yangzhou, which was on the verge of destruction, not only recovered the thirteen counties of Yangzhou one after another.

Furthermore, it extended its helping hand to several neighboring states.

Upon hearing this news, countless survivors were greatly encouraged.

However, some people scoff at this idea.

In this terrifying catastrophe that swept through Old State, even powerful sects like the Eight Great Sects suffered heavy losses.

But... this does not include the Qinling Ying clan of Gunzhou, and the Buddhist Mani Temple that occupies the two western states.

And amidst the chaos, the Sun-Shooting Mountain and the Snow Eagle Sect seized a glimmer of hope, united and defended against each other!

The first two are the inheritances of the strongest, with each sect possessing at least three Void Realm experts.

Furthermore, they possess the strength of a Void Realm expert!
For example, Ying Shiqi of the Ying clan.

The Void Realm expert from Mani Temple was severely injured at the beginning by the combined attack of several powerful Void Realm demonic beasts.

But beings like them, as long as they are not completely dead, can survive by their own means.

Especially when the Buddhist community in the Western Regions suffered a devastating blow, the demonic monk Xiang Fanchen, who had betrayed Buddhism hundreds of years ago, suddenly appeared.

With his mastery of the Void Realm, he fought to a draw with several Void Realm demons who had not yet reached the mastery level, thus saving the entire Buddhist sect.

He also took this opportunity to carry out a major purge of the Mani Temple, transforming it into the form he envisioned.

Subsequently, the two powerful Void Realm experts from the Buddhist sect finally appeared when the Nine Provinces were in grave danger.

The yellow-robed monk, who had reached the Void Realm, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and the two finally put aside their past grievances and joined hands to maintain the stability of the state.

As for the Buddhist land in another state, because the demon race was well prepared, the demon race that was most powerful in dealing with Buddhism had already been ravaged by demonic beasts.

It would be almost impossible to push back in a short period of time.

However... although Buddhism lost a whole state and countless monks and believers perished in this catastrophe.

However, Xiang Fanchen's enormous hidden power emerged from beneath the surface and merged with Buddhism.

The peak combat power of Buddhism not only remained undamaged, but even more than doubled!
In order to purge the old forces of Buddhism, Xiang Fanchen even used this as a pretext to organize many powerful figures from Buddhism to launch several strong attacks on the lost land.

While eliminating the stubborn old faction, it also attracted immense pressure from other forces in Kyushu.

This is why, despite being close to the wilderness, Mount Shooting the Sun has only managed to survive by joining forces with the Snow Eagle Sect.

As for the Yuhuang Sect... it was destroyed at the beginning of the catastrophe because the strongest Void Realm demon within the sect betrayed it.

The entire state was completely transformed into a living hell.

Therefore, after hearing the news that a human emperor had emerged in Yangzhou.

The monks of Mani Temple were the most indignant about this!

Before the calamity arrived, it was the true number one sect on the land of Kyushu.

No one knew the power of Mani Temple better than they themselves.

Its peak combat power is not only among the top of the eight major sects in Kyushu.

Their control over the Buddhist lands in the two states, achieved through faith, reached an extremely perverse level.

If it hadn't been so sudden, given their powerful mobilization capabilities, it's likely that another state wouldn't have fallen so easily.

Moreover, in their view... if it weren't for their repeated brutal counterattacks that drew the most terrifying and massive beast tide in the Nine Provinces, Yangzhou would have had no chance to catch its breath.

Instead of being grateful, they took the opportunity to swagger around.

But all of this... came to an end when Xiang Fanchen obtained the "Dao Jing Lun Hai Juan" from a member of a demon-hunting team.

……

At the summit of Mount Sumeru, which stands nine thousand feet high, fierce winds whip up endless snow and wind, resembling countless swords wielded by innate experts.

A middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe sat cross-legged on it.

Amidst the terrifying radiation of energy, even the swirling snow was scorched and steamed, turning into wisps of thin mist that dissipated.

Wow!

As he looked up, a thunderous roar echoed across the vast sky, nine thousand feet high.

Then... a phantom image of a bright moon suddenly appeared in the void.

The raging snowstorm was also frozen in the void by this invisible Daoist essence.

It was as if... time and space had stopped.

call!
The strange phenomena in the sky vanished in an instant.

A fierce gust of wind swept in, billowing the middle-aged man's brocade robe. He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the distance.
"I am... the Divine Body of the Eastern Wilderness?"

"But Emperor Dawn... who exactly are you? Such a smooth and promising system of Daoist arts could not possibly have been deduced by you alone."

"And... is this bizarre beast tide related to you?"

At that moment, he was filled with too much confusion and bewilderment.

In his previous life, he was Xiang Fanchen; in this life, he is Pei San.

Having reached the pinnacle of emptiness through Buddhism in his previous life, he has created his own system in this life and is now an unparalleled being who has also reached the pinnacle of emptiness.

For him, the Nine Cauldrons World held almost no secrets.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that in his previous life he was limited by the path he had followed, which had been created by his predecessors, thus restricting his future path.

He should have broken through the final obstacle and become the strongest in his previous life.

His vision is so lofty.

However, ever since he came into contact with this Daoist scripture and cultivated the entire Wheel Sea Secret Realm, he has had no doubts about the later secret realms deduced in the scripture.

However, the strongest realm in the Nine Cauldrons World is only roughly equivalent to the half-step Four Extremes realm.

The dragon transformation, the immortal platform... and even the merging of the five secret realms into one, making the final leap to prove the Dao and become an emperor, what a magnificent sight that must be.
However, he also harbored deep doubts about the origins of Dawn.

He knew very well that, if the rumors were true, this great cultivation system was created by Li Ming.

Therefore, the current calamity in the Nine Cauldrons World, and even the entire Nine Cauldrons World, is nothing more than something that can be wiped out with a wave of the hand at dawn.

Why would there be a need to employ numerous methods to win people's hearts? "Fine, since he is willing to pass on this profound technique, and for now, he is still acting for the human race, then I will meet him."

The many thoughts in his mind suddenly subsided, and a blizzard swept down, and Xiang Fanchen's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

……

On the ruined Qinghu Island, Gu Yong stood atop Sword Blade Mountain, his expression sorrowful. His fingers gently traced the crumbling walls of the stone house, his heart trembling.
"Qinghu Island..."

This catastrophe not only destroyed many ancient architectural sites on Qinghu Island, but also his only son and his fellow disciples, all of whom perished in the destruction.

Now, under the onslaught of the imperial army, his wish has finally been fulfilled, and the territory where Qinghu Island is located has been recovered.

That sense of loss and regret still enveloped him.

At the other end of Qinghu Island, three extraordinary figures stood out from nowhere. Li Ming stood in front, looking down at the busy crowd on the island.

Behind him stood Zhuge Yuanhong, holding a Qingfeng sword.

An elderly man, simply dressed, held a scroll of the Western Emperor Scripture, a Daoist canon, his brow furrowed, seemingly unable to understand it.

"I understand the Five Elements and Five Qi, but how can they be fused into the Five Internal Organs and completely condensed into the Dao Palace? Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

After he woke up and learned everything, he accepted the ending with equanimity.

I assumed he was extremely stubborn and old-fashioned because he was the oldest.

In fact, although his talent was not as great as Zhuge Yuanhong's, he was a martial arts fanatic.

For him, the future was more important than a backward sectarian lineage.

After all... he had been trapped in the illusory realm for more than two hundred years.

Compared to when he first entered the Void Realm, his growth was extremely limited.

He knew very well that if things continued to develop this way...

Even if he were to exhaust his five hundred years of lifespan, he would likely still find it difficult to reach the threshold of the Great Perfection of the Void Realm.

Not to mention stepping into the Void Realm.

As for the realm of supreme power, well, countless heroes and geniuses have been stuck here for days, he simply cannot imagine it.

The secret method passed down from his ancestor did indeed give him hope.

Therefore, he did not feel any aversion to the merger of Guiyuan Sect into the Great Xia Imperial Court of the human race.

Some were even amazed by Zhuge Yuanhong's fruit scroll.

Li Ming glanced at him indifferently.
"You should not be too ambitious. First, complete your cultivation in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, and then consider the various matters concerning the Dao Palace Realm. At that time, everything will fall into place naturally."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Elder Wu's face flushed slightly.

At this point, only about half a month had passed since he regained consciousness.

Although he possessed a high level of understanding, he was never able to fully cultivate the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm to perfection.

Beside him, Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes flickered as he surveyed the once-mighty city, now reduced to ruins, and asked,

"Your Majesty, are we deliberately jumping into this encirclement to wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

"Of course!"

Dawn nodded slightly.

Rumble!
The moment the words fell, a fierce and turbulent gust of wind suddenly swept across the already shattered and blood-stained ground.

The ancient trees were snapped in the strong winds, and some were even uprooted.

At the same time, the heavy earth rippled like flowing water, and broken rock layers rose abruptly from the depths of the earth.

Amidst a series of thunderous booms, a towering earthen and stone wall, hundreds of feet high, suddenly appeared at the edge of this massive city, which spanned hundreds of miles in circumference!

This effectively trapped Li Ming and his companions, along with the elite demon-hunting army prepared by the Great Xia Imperial Court, within these high earthen and stone walls.

Li Ming raised an eyebrow, only to see a massive, dark shadow, obscuring the sky, slowly drifting in from the horizon at the end of the high wall.

The leader was a massive purple-scaled dragon with lightning crackling around its body!
Each of the dragon's purple scales shimmered with a metallic luster, and if it were peeled off, it would be the size of a house.

Its entire body, when fully extended, was a thousand feet in size.

As the rows of scales twitched slightly, a terrifying sharpness emanated, even causing the space itself to distort slightly.

"This old dragon... was suppressed in the Heavenly Flood Palace in Yangzhou by Emperor Yu ten thousand years ago. At that time, he was only at the Great Perfection of the Void Realm. I never expected... that even he has stepped into the Void Cave Realm!"

Zhuge Yuanhong clearly knew a great deal about these secrets.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming nodded slightly.

He had heard about the origins of this great demon.

If things had proceeded as expected, this great demon should have been very optimistic about Teng Qingshan and had intervened to resolve his crises on several occasions.

But... even it, amidst the overwhelming calamity, still chose to conform to the prevailing trend.

Li Ming guessed that the person behind the scenes must have made some promise to this powerful demon that was impossible to control by other means.

However, the number of Void Beasts displayed here is far more than just this one.

A crimson-gold raptor with a wingspan of hundreds of feet soared through the sky, and with a slight movement of its arms, a gust of wind swept across the heavens and the earth.

The earth was covered in flying sand and stones, and trees were broken.

Rumble!
The earth to the due north suddenly rose up, and amidst the rolling of Wusu soil and rocks, a colossal serpent emerged from the sky.

Its enormous body, simply coiled up, is a towering mountain.

Its body, tens of feet wide, was even thicker than that of a giant dragon, and its body, over a thousand feet long, undulated and stretched like a mountain range.

Roar!
The giant snake stood up halfway, almost as tall as the distant mountains.

On its enormous head, as large as a mountain peak, a pair of upright, emerald-green snake eyes, each the size of a house, emitted a ghostly green light, gazing directly at the dawn. It even spoke human language.

"Your Majesty the Emperor... are you satisfied with the generous gift we three have given you?"

Rumble!
The sound was as heavy as a drumbeat, and countless birds and beasts that had taken to the air exploded under the rolling sound waves, turning into clouds of blood mist.

Li Ming's gaze was calm, and an invisible aura spread out. The rolling sound waves dissipated instantly the moment they entered the city.

"I walked right into your trap, only to attract a few worthless fish and shrimps. A three-headed Void Realm Great Demon... I don't know if you think too highly of me, or... you want to die too quickly!"

The moment the voice fell, Li Ming, who had been silent for a long time after stepping into the Nine Cauldrons World, finally revealed a trace of killing intent.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng……

The instant the thought crossed his mind, an ancient longsword hanging down beside him suddenly rose into the air.

One side was engraved with plants, insects, and fish, while the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers, and long swords. It then shook and broke through the sky.

Sword energy arose like a storm and descended.

The silent void was finally ripped open by a thin, dark crack.
