Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 198 Arrival (Part 2)

"Young friend, we were destined to be together, but the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus is not something you can possess. You should let it go!"

The white-haired, white-robed God of War of Yunmeng stood out from nowhere, his eyes as calm as a cold pool, seemingly suppressing a volcanic ferocity, as he gazed at Teng Qingshan.

In fact, he had already had many contacts with Teng Qingshan before this.

Under his instruction, Teng Qingshan even obtained several stone carvings of axe techniques left by Emperor Yu.

Throughout, his attitude remained that he wanted to be on good terms with Teng Qingshan.

Unfortunately, Teng Qingshan rose to prominence too quickly, and the value of this nine-leaf fire lotus was too great.

A single lotus seed can bring a martial saint-level innate expert to the family.

The God of War of the Heavenly Wind printed five of them and gave them to him.

The temptation is simply too great.

Moreover, he is the oldest Void Realm War God-level expert on the Duanmu Continent.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would undoubtedly be one of the first to reach the War God Void Realm.

He feared that once Teng Qingshan grew up, his power would expand rapidly, causing friction with his Mu family's power, and eventually leading to a full-scale attack!
After all, the Duanmu Continent is not large, and every precious resource on it is limited.

The Mu family and the Tianfeng family, along with many other martial arts families, have completely monopolized every resource on the Duanmu Continent.

Not a single part is superfluous.

Once Teng Qingshan enters the Void Realm, or even becomes stronger, the Duanmu Continent will be unable to accommodate the growth of a corresponding force.

Annexation and a deadly battle between the various parties are inevitable.

Given this situation, and considering the convergence of various factors, he had no choice but to nip the risk in the bud.

Those who have reached this point are all extremely cold-blooded and indifferent beings.

For them, so-called appreciation and personal relationships are nothing compared to naked self-interest.

Zheng!
The sword in the hand of the God of War, Tianfeng, deflected.

"Haha! Brother Yunmeng, why bother with words? Let me chop off his head with one sword and use it to pay tribute to the many martial saints of my Haolian family!"

Teng Qingshan watched all this with a cold smile, the anger ignited in his chest still difficult to quell.

At the same time, for some reason, a faint sadness welled up deep in his heart.

Having lived two lives, he still harbors a deep-seated hatred and grudges on the Nine Provinces Continent.

Is this where my life is going to end?

"I'm really not happy about this..."

Teng Qingshan turned his spear around, a hint of resentment in his heart.

He has not yet seen whether the Guiyuan Sect still exists under the beast tide. Most of the fire lotus seeds he has seized are for the sect's benefit.

He has not yet been able to rescue his wife from her poisoned coma.

He didn't even know where the Reincarnation Spear he found in the back mountain came from.

Similarly, he has never unraveled the mystery of his own reincarnation...

With this thought in mind, a blazing light enveloped the blade, shattering the tiny particles floating in the void into two halves.

"bring it on!"

Facing two Void Realm experts who were stronger than him, he showed no fear whatsoever and even took the initiative to challenge them!
Clang!
A sharp glint shot into the sky, instantly slicing the cumulus clouds hanging in the sky in two.

"What a bold move! In that case, I shall grant your wish!"

The veins on the arms of the God of War of Yunmeng bulged, and the huge battle sword on his back was suddenly raised.

A flash of light from a blade severed the endless airflow, colliding violently with the spear light from Teng Qingshan.

Rumble!
Two equally violent forces collided suddenly, instantly creating a scorching wave of air that spread out in all directions.

Its power was so great that even the God of War of the Heavenly Wind, who stood in mid-air several miles away, couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.

He had spent several times longer than Teng Qingshan to reach this level.

When he stepped into the Void Realm War God, his combat power was far inferior to Teng Qingshan's current strength!

With many thoughts swirling in his mind, the two of them found themselves standing further and further apart. In an instant, he suddenly realized...

The War God of Yunmeng deliberately distanced himself from him, most likely harboring the same ambition to devour everything. He immediately roared in anger.
"What a magnificent Teng Qingshan! What a magnificent War God of Yunmeng!"

Zheng!
The sword light tore through the heavens and earth, illuminating the mountains and rivers, and blocked the fatal blow from the God of War of Yunmeng.

"Looks like there was a dispute over the spoils beforehand!"

Teng Qingshan felt his hands, which were bleeding and slightly slippery from the force of the impact, but he remained extremely calm.

These two were originally rivals who came together for mutual benefit, but now they are clashing over the distribution of those benefits.

Perhaps... this is his chance!
boom!
Another violent collision occurred, and Teng Qingshan used the immense recoil force to fly more than ten miles away.

Boo!
A blue phoenix, bathed in blazing blue flames, burst forth from the depths of the mountains and caught Teng Qingshan on its back, instantly soaring far away.

Even after being exposed by the God of War Tianfeng, the God of War Yunmeng was not angry. He simply raised his hand to extinguish the probing sword light and calmly replied,
"Since we can't trust each other, why not kill this brat, then settle the score and distribute the lotus seeds! Otherwise, if he escapes, he'll be a disaster for both of us!"

"it is good!"

The God of War's eyes gleamed.

The blade flashes without form, the longsword is invisible.

Within Teng Qingshan's perception range, the sword light and energy emanating from the two men seemed to cover the entire sky.

It is omnipresent and indestructible.

Even his powerful divine will was inevitably shaken violently at this moment.

"I'll do it again, and I, Teng Qingshan, will never be mediocre!"

Looking up at the sky filled with flashing swords and shadows, a sense of loneliness and desolation finally rose in the depths of Teng Qingshan's eyes.

What's regrettable is that he didn't get to carry forward the internal martial arts tradition he brought from Earth...

Even going so far as to extrapolate to a higher level...

"bring it on!"

Teng Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, his hair standing on end in anger, and his fighting spirit soared to the sky.

Even if he were to die, he would never die in cowardice.

Rumble!
However, his so-called resistance was as fragile as a house of cards when faced with two Void Realm experts who were both stronger than him.

With a deafening roar, the sky seemed to collapse.

He watched helplessly as the flashes of blades and sword energy descended like willow branches, shattering the spear light bursting from his hand.

It was about to completely descend upon him in the next instant!
"I... don't accept it!"

hum!
In the next instant, the world suddenly fell silent, the wind stopped and the clouds stood still.

All the violent collisions, all the terrifying flashes of blades, and all the sharp sword energy ceased completely at this moment.

It was as if time and space had been frozen!
"This kind of power..."

Teng Qingshan suddenly looked up.

However, he discovered that, apart from him, the two Void Realm War God experts who had been filled with killing intent just moments before were now frozen in mid-air.

Their faces still retained lifelike expressions, some extremely indifferent, others brimming with murderous intent, their expressions ferocious...

He had only just entered the Void Realm and still had many things he didn't quite understand about the different levels of the Void Realm.

All we know is that beyond the Void Realm lies the legendary Void Transformation Realm, or even the strongest beings. But... in this world, perhaps only the legendary strongest beings can wield the full power of the three Void Realms at will!

Tread...  

Just as he was feeling confused, a majestic figure wearing a flat-topped crown and a black dragon robe suddenly appeared in his sight.

"He saved me, strange... his aura is so familiar..."

As the person slowly approached, Teng Qingshan's calm, still-still heart was finally stirred.

He felt a sense of familiarity with this person, but he couldn't quite place it. He wondered where this sense of familiarity came from.

hum!
The Reincarnation Spear in his hand hummed and trembled on its own, and Teng Qingshan looked up in a daze.

Perhaps... he knows the origin of the Reincarnation Spear in his hand.

"Teng Qingshan!"

The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

A grand yet all-encompassing rhythmic syllable suddenly resonated in Teng Qingshan's heart.

Teng Qingshan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
"Senior... is the former master of reincarnation!"

"No... From beginning to end, this gun was prepared for you!"

Dawn shook her head slightly.

The material of this gun, though only considered a divine weapon in the mortal realm within the vast universe of "Covering the Sky," is exceptional.

However, once it falls into the Nine Cauldrons World, it becomes comparable to the most top-grade materials!

It is almost comparable to the weapon that Dongxu forged using the power of his own small world.

Now, after years of use by Teng Qingshan, it has been imprinted with the laws of heaven and earth that Teng Qingshan has comprehended.

It is indeed extraordinary, far surpassing anything it could have achieved before.

Moreover, it is a "vessel" that belongs only to Teng Qingshan!
"For me..."

As Teng Qingshan's memories resurfaced, he suddenly recalled the chaotic light he had seen in his childhood, and said with some surprise,

"So it was you who granted me the cycle of reincarnation, and now you have saved me. May I ask your name?"

Although he had the thought of repaying Li Ming, he couldn't bring himself to say it because he saw how terrifying Li Ming's strength was.

Li Ming said calmly,
"I am... the Human Emperor!"

hum!
As if time and space had suddenly resumed, the wind and clouds dispersed, and the sword light and sword energy that had previously almost obscured the sky and earth vanished into thin air.

The Cloud Dream War God and the Heavenly Wind War God, who dominated the Duanmu Continent, both slowly awoke from that stalemate.

boom!
The airflow, which had been slowly calming down, suddenly exploded behind the two of them.

Despite being the strongest on Duanmu Road, he showed no intention of resisting Li Ming and turned to flee.

Seeing this, Teng Qingshan simply took out nine fire lotus seeds and the collected Yu Emperor stone carving from his robes, and respectfully handed them to Li Ming, saying,
"I have no way to repay your help twice, so I can only offer these two items to you."

At this point, a rare blush appeared on his face.

He has never liked owing favors to others, but both the reincarnation spear and the life-saving grace of dawn are too heavy to repay.

But what he can offer now is already the most precious thing he has.

At the same time, he did not feel embarrassed about Leon Lai letting the two go.

He was confident that he wouldn't need Li Ming to take action against these two; he only needed to give them some time.

Dawn accepted it without any hesitation and continued,

"Besides that, I also hope to surpass your internal martial arts techniques!"

"My boxing style?"

Teng Qingshan was startled.

He is ambitious, drawing upon the accumulated knowledge of the Earth's internal martial arts tradition, and further integrating the Buddhist and Taoist cultivation methods from the Nine Cauldrons World into his own being.

This leads to the development of a higher level of internal martial arts system.

However, apart from a few close friends and family members, no one else knew about his idea.

How did this self-proclaimed Human Emperor come to know about this existence?

Rumble…

Before Teng Qingshan could figure it out, another rumbling explosion came from the sky.

He looked toward the source of the sound and saw dozens of powerful and profound auras, all stronger than those of Yunmeng and Tianfeng, surging towards him from the far end of the sky.

Amidst their violent and chaotic aura, Yunmeng and Tianfeng's own auras became somewhat disordered, and they were forced to retreat step by step under pressure.

One of the auras was extremely familiar to Teng Qingshan. He raised his head in surprise, and his usually resolute eyes finally reddened slightly.

"Master..."

It has been more than a year since we left the land of China.

When he was in the Heavenly Flood Palace, he caught a glimpse of the beast tide and guessed that this was a calamity that could very well destroy the Guiyuan Sect!
Faced with such a disaster, he, who had gained many benefits from the sect, was unable to stay in the sect to fight against the beast tide.

This left him extremely disappointed.

All they wanted to do was quickly gather a large amount of resources in this unfamiliar place to improve their strength and help the sect overcome its difficulties.

But little did he know, he hadn't even had a chance to return.

His master, however, had already arrived first.

In his perception, it seemed that even his master had entered the Void Realm!

As Zhuge Yuanhong's aura drew closer, Teng Qingshan lowered his eyelids, staring at the blazing divine rainbow blooming beneath Zhuge Yuanhong's feet. He was somewhat mesmerized.

"This is……"

Without a doubt, the aura emanating from his master now indicates that he has entered the Void Realm.

Moreover, within the virtual realm, it belongs to an extremely powerful level.

This is the power, why is it so different from what he once felt?
As dawn approached, surging crowds, and calmly gave the order.

"How to deal with the two of them is up to you to decide! Zhuge Yuanhong, you should enlighten your disciple!"

The sound still echoed in the void, but Li Ming's figure had already disappeared.

Teng Qingshan's pupils narrowed slightly.

Throughout, apart from his visual senses, in all his other perceptions, dawn seemed as nothingness, as if it had never existed.

Zhuge Yuanhong, dressed in a tall hat and wide belt, walked slowly forward, his tone carrying a hint of relief and感慨 (gǎnkǎi - a complex emotion encompassing both relief and reflection).

"Qingshan...Qingqing has been waiting for you for years..."

"Qingqing..."

The image of a young girl resurfaced in Teng Qingshan's mind.

In this life, if he hadn't met Li Jun, who looked exactly like the kitten from his previous life, perhaps he would have chosen Zhuge Qing.

pity……

Before he could refuse, the secret realm magic system that Zhuge Yuanhong brought him completely captivated him.

"How could there be such a vast and perfect Daoist method in this world?"

"Where exactly does this Emperor come from?"
