Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 224 The Origin of the Great Feng Mummified Men (Part 2)

"Peak of the third rank..."

In the darkness, Dawn sensed the violent changes occurring deep within his body, and his two eyes slowly lit up.

At this moment, he had not yet integrated all the bloodlines and physiques within the main universe of Shrouding the Heavens.

He could sense that his current combat power had returned to the level when he first entered the fourth level after crossing realms.

Although the various systems in this world are vastly different from the system of laws in the Heaven-Covering Secret Realm.

It was the strongest system he had encountered outside of the main universe system since he traversed countless worlds.

In particular, the development of this system is still in a state of contention and debate.

At the end of almost every system, one relies on a Super Grade, or the possibility of stepping into the Super Grade.

Super Grade... It is almost the strongest thing in this world besides the Heavenly Dao.

However, the Heavenly Way is bound by the rules of heaven and earth and cannot directly intervene to impose punishment.

At most, he can only secretly influence the general trend of the world and create a second generation of supervisors to replace him in traveling the world and making real-time plans.

Therefore... the true strongest beings in this world are these beings at the super-grade level.

Although the Super Grade may not necessarily be the same as the three heavens of the Sendai reflected in the Myriad Paths Diagram.

But... what Dawn is certain of is that they must reside in the Sendai realm.

Furthermore, there are also significant differences in strength between the top-tier items.

"A long-lost power..."

As dawn broke, he slowly straightened up, his muscles rubbing together slightly, his bones colliding violently, producing a booming sound like rolling thunder.

As the long-lost power gradually returns...

His understanding of this world has undergone a deeper transformation.

At the same time, he became more confident in his plans.

Wow!
At dawn, deep within his body, his blood surged like a river flowing backward.

The instant the blood began to swirl, violent currents of air rose from the surface of the body, scattering the entire magnificent cave into chaos.

As dawn broke, he sensed several presences slowly approaching from outside the cave.

"Let us begin harvesting the essence of humanity in this world from here!"

……

"Elder, you said... this warrior who shook the entire land and crushed the Arhats must be extremely handsome!"

Inside the secluded cave, several pretty, mischievous girls with furry ears on their heads followed behind a woman of extraordinary temperament.

Some couldn't help but ask.

The elegant young woman, with a refined and serene demeanor, slightly raised her eyes, gently extended a slender finger, and touched the brow of the mischievous young girl.

"You little slut, who does he think he is? Why would he even look at you?"

At this time, more than a year had passed since the dawn and the Grand Supervisor of the Imperial Academy clashed and suppressed the Arhat who had not been born.

From then on, the name of this unknown third-rank martial artist spread throughout the land of Kyushu under the impetus of an unseen hand!

Afterwards, news spread from an unknown source that this person was named Li Ming and was the reincarnation of an ancient holy emperor.

This further propelled Leon Lai's reputation to the forefront of public attention.

Some people dismiss this, believing that their family has a long history, possibly dating back tens of thousands of years.

Yet, I have never heard of such a human holy emperor in ancient times.

Some people firmly believe this.

After all, the appearance of dawn was too abrupt, just like before he had exchanged a punch with the supervisor in the capital of Dafeng.

It's as if it never left a trace in this world.

Even major powers that have extended their probes to every corner of the world have failed to uncover any information about Dawn.

As the saying goes, "A wild goose leaves its cry as it flies by, and a person leaves their mark as they pass through life."

If Dawn were merely exceptionally gifted, it's impossible that he would have remained completely unknown before.

It should be understood that in the martial arts world of Dafeng, even martial artists of the sixth rank or above are considered heroes and chivalrous figures in their respective counties.

Those ranked above the sixth rank, such as the fifth and fourth ranks, are already renowned throughout the entire state.

As for the third rank... that can almost be called a legend in the martial arts world!

Therefore, this is clearly a very abnormal thing.

The girl pouted.

"So what? Back then, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, a being comparable to a peak-level first-grade martial artist, still fell in love with that martial arts monk without hesitation..."

boom!
Before he could finish speaking, the elegant young woman had already raised her hand and tapped her forehead.
"Take control of your temper! If you offend this important guest, your master might confine you to your quarters for another hundred years!"

"Humph!"

The girl turned her head away angrily.

In her heart, however, she was calculating, even though she was a newly separated clone of that nine-tailed celestial fox.

But she also carries the bloodlines of the Demon Queen and the monk Shenshu.

Although this martial artist is exceptionally strong, I am more than qualified to be his equal!

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan finds it most difficult to resist such fierce and masculine warriors.

This is a mutual attraction originating from the fundamental rules of heaven and earth.

After all, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, though it has survived for hundreds of years, is now in a state of decline.

When the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox stepped into the first-grade realm, it finally managed to recover from the near-death state of being suppressed by many forces.

However, it ultimately cannot compare to the era five hundred years ago when it possessed a top-tier demon emperor and had a gathering of demons under his command.

The current global situation seems to be changing again.

The only way for the tribe to survive the next round of turmoil is to maintain a strong voice.

This person, who, with the skill of a third-rank martial artist, could defeat a second-rank Arhat, would be a very good candidate to win over.

After all, although this person called himself the Human Emperor, he seemed to be alone and had no other forces behind him.

Therefore, their master, the nine-tailed celestial fox, offered them many benefits.

If Dawn were willing, she could even send out her own clone!
As the ninth child, and the newly separated clone, she was the weakest, so naturally she could only focus her efforts on this aspect.

Just as the two women, accompanied by several maids carrying jade platters, were walking deeper into the cave.

From the depths of the cave, a sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly arose.

"With just his blood energy, he stirred up the entire earth's veins. Is he really just a martial artist?"

The young woman's eyes flickered.

Martial artists rarely cultivate the laws of heaven and earth; instead, they seek within themselves, digging into the will, strength, essence, and spirit deep within their bodies!
But now, even though it only has the strength of a fourth-rank, it can still see that this fluctuation is clearly in line with the rules of heaven and earth.

As thoughts raced through her mind, she glared at the girl beside her.
"With his level of skill, even our master, who has just entered the first rank, might not be able to defeat him even if he went all out."

"Remember not to do anything reckless. If you offend him and ruin your master's plans, you'll regret it!"

The mischievous girl returned the look, and said seriously,
"Although my strength and experience are inferior to yours, we share memories. Do I need your reminder?"

"Besides... given the second sister's strength, if this person doesn't show himself, how can she bring him back?"

“Since he’s willing to show himself, there must be room for us to talk. I think you’re just overthinking things.” The “second one” she mentioned was the second avatar of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, a third-rank being.

Even among the nine sisters, she was one of the best, practically the right-hand woman of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Overseeing all the major events in the Demon Kingdom.

She met Leon Lai while she was out, and brought him back with her.

Even this quirky, argumentative girl in front of him only dared to lower her head and look at him meekly.

Beside her, the young woman sighed, shook her head helplessly, and then raised her hand to knock on the cave door.

Tuk Tuk!

The moment the knock sounded, a clear and peaceful voice slowly rose in everyone's ears.

"come in!"

The sound wasn't particularly loud, but it contained the true essence of martial arts, embodying utmost yang and strength.

Like a heavy mountain, it crashed into the hearts of many, splashing up towering waves deep within their thoughts.

This majestic and powerful aura was something even the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, a first-grade cultivator, had never displayed.

Don't assume that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is weak in physical strength just because she is a demon.

In fact, as the only daughter of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and the monk Shenshu, she inherited almost all of their advantages.

Even though they had never practiced the martial arts, the way of the demon race was very similar to that of the martial arts.

The difference lies in the fact that when a demon reaches the fourth rank, they cultivate their innate divine abilities, while a martial artist, when wearing an ornament, cultivates the essence of a martial artist.

Therefore, his physical strength is almost comparable to that of a martial artist who has just entered the second rank!

Even so, her physical imposing presence seemed to be on par with this man's.

Both the young woman and the girl beside her are clones of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

When several people share memories, they can naturally perceive the differences.

Only now, knowing this, did they truly realize that what their second sister had said was true.

This warrior... even if he is not a true ancient holy emperor, he should be treated as such!

Rumble!
The heavy door was slowly pushed open.

The scorching heat that had accumulated inside the cave surged out like a tidal wave.

The two women felt as if a great sun was slowly rising inside the cave, its light stinging their eyes and making them afraid to look directly at it.

He could only lower his gaze slightly to look at the smooth, clean floor, which was as smooth as a mirror.

Snapped!
A bead of sweat the size of an eyebrow bead seeped from the girl's forehead, rolled down, and shattered on the floor.

The girl's mouth opened and closed, her chest heaving violently, like weeds dried by the scorching sun. All other thoughts in her mind vanished instantly, leaving only a sense of awe.

The next instant, this heavy, vast, ocean-like aura silently dissipated, and the sound of dawn rang out once more.

"I am grateful for your hospitality these past few days. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

"Senior...please stay. My Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is willing to offer up all one million humans within its borders, a thousand miles of fertile land in the far north, and mobilize the entire nation's strength to build a kingdom for you!"

Upon hearing this, the young woman immediately offered up the biggest benefit.

He then realized that the show of force he had just witnessed was a warning from Dawn regarding the Demon Kingdom's indifference over the past few days.

"A million humans... a thousand miles of fertile land in the far north..."

As dawn carefully considered those words, she couldn't help but smile.
"The far north of the southern border is adjacent to the Great Feng and the Buddhist sects. Your king has made a clever plan!"

Back then, five hundred years ago, at the height of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

They also encountered the most powerful Buddhist sect.

At that time, although the Buddha was suppressed by Confucian sages, there were still nine Bodhisattvas and eighteen Arhats in the Buddhist community!

This is a force powerful enough to shake the entire Kyushu!
Therefore, under the mediation of Shen Shu, even the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, who was at the peak of the first rank, had no choice but to let the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom submit to Buddhism for the benefit of the entire demon race.

Unfortunately... the mistake was that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons should not have been at the peak of the first rank, and should not have married Shen Shu!

At this time, the Buddha had already been sealed away. If the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons at its peak were to be incorporated, it would likely be overtaken and become the dominant force.

A long-planned conspiracy suddenly erupted.

The outcome was that Buddhism, at the cost of many powerful figures, temporarily awakened the Buddha.

The Demon Queen and Shen Shu, a half-step Martial God, were killed and crippled respectively.

The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was shattered!

It is known as the Jiazi Demon Slayer!
The Great Feng Dynasty was also involved in this turmoil that affected Kyushu.

Therefore, there is also a deep-seated hatred between the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and the Great Feng Dynasty.

Needless to say, this also applies to Buddhism.

They placed the land they were gifting to Dawn in the far north of the southern border, which was clearly Chen's intention: to make Dawn expend its own strength to fight against these two major forces.

Meanwhile, his Demon Kingdom was hiding behind the barrier of dawn, accumulating strength.

"Your Excellency is too kind!"

The young woman lowered her head, somewhat unable to look Li Ming in the eye.

Suddenly, dawn stared straight at the young woman.

"Are you... Night Princess?"

The young woman looked up in surprise.
"It is... Your Excellency recognizes me?"

As Li Ming looked at the young woman's elegant and serene face, his own face twitched slightly.

"I heard about it when I was in the territory of Dafeng..."

He didn't just recognize it; he knew it all too well.

How could he not recognize the culprit who turned Xu Qi'an from a night watchman of the Great Feng Dynasty into a mummy of the Great Feng Dynasty?

"Great Feng..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ji was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

She was originally a spy planted in the capital of Da Feng by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

If it weren't for this return to report on her duties, she might never have met this peerless warrior.

But then Leon Lai said... he recognized her. Does this mean that his undercover work has completely failed?
Similarly, does this mean that his identity is already known to others in Da Feng?

Li Ming suppressed a laugh and offered a reassuring remark.

"Don't worry, I only sensed your presence from afar as I was passing by; no one else knew."

This interruption immediately dissipated much of the silence within the cave.

However, Ye Ji, who was already somewhat uneasy, was still shaken and lost her composure.
"In the end, we couldn't hide it from His Majesty."

"Um……"

Li Ming nodded slightly, then uttered something startling.
"I can stand in front of the Great Feng and the Buddhist sects as a shield for your Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, but I want you to use your spies among the barbarian and witch tribes to gather more humans for me!"

boom!
"He...he agreed?"

Night Princess was slightly taken aback.

She truly didn't expect that Leon Lai would see through the problem at a glance, yet still agree to their unreasonable demands.
