Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 205 Dawn Revealed, The Four Extremes of Eternal Universe (Two Chapters Combined)

boom!
Li Xuangang is dead!
There is no airtight wall in the world.

What's more, the news of the Li family patriarch's death is such an explosive event!

This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire capital of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Even powerful local figures outside the capital had heard of this earth-shattering news.

The Li family!

It is one of the four most powerful families in the Great Xia Dynasty, apart from the Zhao royal family.

Their ancestors were peerless powerhouses who emerged from the sacred land together with the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty countless years ago.

A being at the seventh level of the Dragon Transformation Realm!

And that Emperor Taizu Gao was an existence at the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm!
After the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu Gao enfeoffed his four fellow disciples as four kings of different surnames.

Although the five parties have their own contradictions and frictions.

But ultimately, they share the same lineage, their core interests are intertwined, and they are essentially of one mind when dealing with external affairs.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty has enjoyed peace for countless days,

Whether it's the royal family or the four major families, their power is declining at an extremely slow pace.

Even so, in this country dominated by the royal family and the four major families, even the Church of Light, which swept through the entire dynasty several years ago, was unable to shake its rule.

Most importantly, these four great families, and even the royal family, still have powerful individuals at the Dragon Transformation level!
You must know that when one's cultivation reaches the Dragon Transformation Realm, it is truly like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, undergoing an extremely brilliant transformation in the essence of life.

With a casual strike, even a towering peak of ten thousand meters can collapse and shatter in an instant.

Within the entire Great Xia Dynasty, only the royal family and the four major families possess experts of this caliber.

As for other forces, large and small, few can reach the Dragon Transformation stage due to the deliberate restrictions imposed by the royal family and the four major families.

After all, they controlled the ascending passage, the authority to access the Holy Land of Raize.

Therefore, even if a genius is born, most will choose to cooperate with the four major families and the royal family to send their own prodigy to the holy land.

Of course, some people also have ulterior motives.

Unfortunately... such families often perish under a meteor shower on a dark and stormy night.

The Li family, one of the four powerful and domineering families, lost a family head who was at the second level of the fourth realm a few days ago!
It should be noted that within the Great Xia Dynasty, aside from the numerous forces of the four major families, the strongest among them is only at this level.

Who could possibly kill someone of this level?
The entire imperial city was abuzz with discussion.

Even the news of the resurgence of the Church of Light in the previous era at the border was drowned out by this message.

Inside the secret chamber of the Li family, members of the Li family knelt down in the hall, trembling with fear, not daring to raise their heads.

The white-haired, wrinkled patriarch of the Li family had a surging gaze that seemed to weigh heavily on everyone in the hall, like a massive mountain.

Li Yuan, who had become the county magistrate of Chishui County, knelt down before him, his face expressionless, trying hard to control his emotions.

He already had a general idea of ​​whether this matter was true or false.

No one in this situation knew the true nature of the matter better than him.

Their patriarch, Li Xuangang, most likely believed the lies fabricated by the three of them, which led him to travel alone to the Dayan Mountains, ultimately resulting in his demise there.

He even speculated that the fall of the family patriarch was closely related to Dawn.

After all, the so-called protectors of the Light Cult are just something they made up.

But Li Ming... easily crushed the Li family's powerful figure who was carrying the Four Extreme Dao Weapons!
A full quarter of an hour passed before the old patriarch's gaze finally focused on the first person in the hall, and he coldly said,
"Li Ning, as Xuan Gang's close associate, did he leave you with anything?"

The person he had summoned remained calm and composed, taking a scroll from his robes and presenting it to the old ancestor, saying in a steady voice,
“Ancestor, before he left, the patriarch instructed me that if he did not return, he would have fallen into the hands of the Light Clan, and…”

He hesitated for a moment as he spoke.

Snapped!
The old man, whose face was somewhat gloomy, raised his hand and grasped the scroll out of thin air.
"Keep talking, don't waste my time!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man called Li Ning cupped his hands in greeting.
"The patriarch once said that his purpose in going there was to fight for the inheritance of the saint for the family, but he hoped that the ancestor would not let this inheritance fall into the hands of the Church of Light."

boom!
Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the sealed room immediately dropped by tens of degrees.

Visible white frost condensed on the hair of all the Li family members.

Everyone fell silent, as if trembling with fear, and dared not move or utter a word for a moment.

Anyone could tell that their patriarch, though seemingly offering kind advice, was actually threatening and tempting his ancestor.

This is the legendary legacy of a sage!
Even the first ancestor of the Li family, the junior brother of the founding emperor, had never obtained this.

Once this message of inheritance spreads, it will likely cause even greater chaos throughout the entire Eastern Cang Continent.

How could this ancestor, who had only a hundred years left to live, resist such temptation?
The old man's face twitched slightly, and he let out a cold laugh.
"He has quite the audacity. It's one thing for him to pursue the inheritance alone, but now that he's soaked to the bone, he still wants to drag me down with him."

Only then did he realize that Li Xuangang, whom he had chosen, had already become the qualified successor he wanted to be through decades of trials and tribulations.

Unfortunately, before he could fully mature and enter the Dragon Transformation Realm, he died prematurely at this time.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly, and at the same time, the black jade scroll automatically unfurled in the void.

More information contained within it immediately came into his view.

"Guardian of the Light Sect... Li Liming..."

The intertwined messages plunged him into a brief silence.

The Li family members kneeling on the ground below the hall dared not even breathe, but they were much more at ease.

This ancestor's unpredictable temper was already well-known within the family.

If one were not exceptionally gifted, even a descendant of the Li family would be like an ant in his eyes.

Li Yuan, kneeling behind everyone, also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

After a long while, the old man slowly raised his head, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

"Come here, let the ancestor see for himself whether you have deceived me..."

He wants to search for souls!

A terrifying thought instantly gripped the minds of countless people in Tangxia.

Under the immense mental power of a dragon-transforming cultivator, each person's soul is an incredibly intricate and delicate entity.

The slightest mishap could damage their soul.

At best, one's cultivation will be limited and unable to advance any further.

In severe cases, it can lead to mental and physical damage, causing the person to become mentally impaired.

"It's over!"

Li Yuan's face turned as white as paper in an instant, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face, shattering heavily on the floor.

Even worse, some people were so frightened that they fainted on the ground.

"Hehe, good children... I'll be very gentle, Grandpa!"

The old man with white hair and wrinkled skin had a gloomy gaze, and the deep lines on his face were all smoothed out at this moment.

hum!
A terrifying surge of psychic power erupted, causing visible ripples to spread through the silent air and void within the secret chamber.

"Grandpa, please forgive me..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud thud!
Li Ning, who had been kneeling before the crowd, collapsed heavily to the floor, his eyes now a dull, lifeless gray. "Even Manager Li..."

Li Ning was once a confidant of the family head, and even within the entire Li family, he was considered a high-ranking figure.

Even so, they still fell to the hands of their ancestor.

Not to mention those of low social status?

Thump! Thump...

Several more people fainted from fright, and some even lost control of their bladder and bowels due to the immense fear.

A pungent, fishy smell permeated the entire secret room.

"hehe!"

The old man's smile grew even wider.

The scent of death permeated the sealed room.

Finally, it was Li Yuan's turn to be trembling with fear, his whole body shaking.

"Good child, don't be afraid..."

The Li family patriarch slowly extended a withered hand and, facing Li Yuan's pained expression, placed it heavily on the top of Li Yuan's head.

hum!
Thoughts flow into it like a waterfall in an instant.

A vast and radiant aura, like the sun at its zenith, blossomed deep within Li Yuan's soul.

"You treacherous, disloyal wretch!"

The Li family patriarch's expression changed drastically. His five fingers suddenly closed, instantly crushing Li Yuan's body into a thick cloud of blood mist.

That brilliant aura, however, clung to him like a leech, seeking out his remaining thoughts, surging upwards and heavily impacting his soul.

puff!
The old man's face suddenly constricted, his skin turned deathly pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Rumble!
A wisp of energy dissipated, and this secret chamber, forged from gold and iron and engraved with endless Dao patterns, appeared before the horrified gazes of countless people...

Shattered!

"You treacherous, disloyal wretch! You wicked wretch!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the Li family patriarch stood with his hair and beard standing on end, clutching a twisted soul in his hand.

He had never been this angry in all these years.

If it were just Li Yuan who betrayed him, he wouldn't care much!
But what angered him the most was that the ancient saint's remnant radiance that controlled Li Yuan used the same word-refining technique left by his Li family's first ancestor!
It was a secret treasure that the first ancestor exchanged from the Thunder Swamp Holy Land.

With this secret treasure, they have controlled countless monstrous talents and made them their own.

Unexpectedly, one day the Li family members were controlled by others using the same method.

"Dawn! What a beautiful dawn!"

In the instant his soul was injured, he managed to capture a fragment of Li Yuan's memory using his powerful and profound strength.

Among them is dawn!
At this point, the whole matter was completely clear.

The one who started it all was that dawn!

But after a moment, he recovered from that frenzied state.
"This matter... still requires careful consideration! That so-called genius from a minor clan has either already obtained the inheritance of an ancient saint, or... has already defected to the Church of Light!"

"This pie... is not something I can swallow alone!"

As something that has survived for hundreds of years.

Although he was greedy, insane, and perverse, he valued his life even more.

Now, the situation across the entire continent has been stirred up.

He had an extremely strong intuition that even as a cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm, he would have to survive in this chaotic world.

So... he had to pass this information on to the four closely related families, and even to the royal Zhao family!
Whether they continue to rely on the Holy Land of Raize or switch allegiance to the Church of Light.

He knew all too well that the more united they were, the stronger they would be, and the more interests they could leverage between the two sides.

"If we don't make a move, all is well. But once we do, we must annihilate that brat with lightning speed and seize his inheritance!"

In the instant that many thoughts were swirling in his mind, he could already sense that several beings with similar auras to him had arrived from various parts of the Great Building Royal City.

He looked up at his comrades who were getting closer and closer, a smile appearing on his lips.

The next step is to leverage this information to gain even more benefits for oneself.

The five families are closely connected, but... even brothers should keep clear accounts, right?
……

The second restoration of the "Diagram of Myriad Paths of the Heavens" is complete.

[Removing the Realm Restrictions When Crossing Boundaries]

[The host's efficiency in refining cultivation techniques has increased]

[Increased drop rate during battles when using Speed ​​and Fishing Avatars]

……

Inside the cave, Mingming slowly raised his eyes, sensing the messages emanating from the Myriad Paths Diagram. A thought stirred within his mind.

"In that case, let's challenge Ye Fan!"

hum!
In the blink of an eye, the world changed, and he reappeared on the divine city suspended in the void.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the Dragon Transformation Pool. In the instant his thoughts turned at dawn, he had already taken a step that covered more than thirty miles, his hand forming an extremely violent fist imprint.

It crashed down with a deafening roar!

With a deep, dark gaze, Li Ming was the first to summon the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, which clashed with Ye Fan's.

Rumble!
Above the sky, endless air currents shattered, and even the void was cracked.

After several hours, Li Ming, relying on his understanding of Ye Fan, narrowly defeated Ye Fan.

[The host defeated Ye Fan, losing 4010 points of Dao Power and the Four Extremes [Eternal Universe Scripture]...]

"Heng Yu Jing!"

Li Ming slowly straightened up, his heart pounding with emotion.

He finally truly felt the benefits of repairing the Myriad Paths Diagram.

It should be noted that it took a full seven days to repair the Myriad Paths Diagram!
In those seven days, he challenged Ye Fan nearly a thousand times!

After a series of battles, although his physical strength was not depleted, his mental and spiritual energy was exhausted.

Ye Fan at this level is no different from him.

Every battle, regardless of victory or defeat, is a heavy ordeal for him.

But it has never dropped any cultivation techniques or rare treasures...

Just now, after the Myriad Paths Diagram of the Heavens was repaired, it actually swept away the complete Four Extremes of the Eternal Universe Scripture!

Perhaps luck played a part, but Li Ming guessed that the restored Dao diagram also played a huge role.

Thinking of this, he slowly said,
"Burn...a thousand units of power to refine the Four Extremes Eternal Universe Scripture for me!"
