Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 240 Recognizing the Identity (Part 2)

Before the Confucian sage's image, radiating an aura of righteousness, stood a twelve-foot-tall, seven-foot-tall Gu worm, its entire body as black as ink jade, which, with just its aura, could compress the void into a distorted state.

It almost completely devoured all the Gu God's power scattered throughout the entire Abyss.

Its realm actually broke through to the first rank, and even after breaking through to the first rank, it continued to climb upwards at an extremely fast speed.

Deep within his body, a layer of shimmering, dark divine light emanated, converging behind him to form seven radiant divine rings.

This ever-increasing aura finally came to a slow halt.

In just one day, driven by the seemingly endless power of the Gu God, this Seven Absolute Gu finally reached the limit of the first rank.

Furthermore, it was controlled by the true Gu God's thoughts.

The Seven Absolute Gu has now fallen to a peak, but it is still a true Gu God imprinted with the seven laws!

hum!
As if the seven great laws manifested in a seven-colored divine ring, twelve more arms emerged from behind the twelve-foot-tall body of the Seven Absolute Gu.

Its eyes, swirling with the laws of nature, finally settled on dawn.

"Such an aura at the second rank... You also survived the Battle of Tianmen? But... why can't I sense any familiar aura from you?"

In ancient times, among the many powerful super-grade gods and demons, his strength was not weak, but it was not strong either.

It can only be considered as low to middle level.

At that time, the sky, the earth, and the endless sea were all occupied by the supreme gods and demons who were the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth.

Under the radiation of divine and demonic power, life in the truest sense was born.

These beings take gods and demons as their deities and sources of power, and cultivate accordingly. They are the relatives and descendants who have been tainted by the power of gods and demons.

There may be occasional disputes and battles between the various gods and demons.

But it was just a minor skirmish.

Most of them were controlled by their families.

Until that celestial gate, the moment it fell from the depths of the world's origin.

Whether they are warlike gods and demons or peaceful gods and demons who only wish to cultivate alone.

At the same time, they were all enveloped by a vague and ethereal message.

That is, if a god or demon defeats all other gods and demons and absorbs their corresponding spiritual essence, he or she will be able to enhance his or her own power, push open that heavenly gate, become the controller of this world, and transcend the realm of the super-grade!
After that, whether they liked it or not, almost all the supreme gods and demons were swept up in this catastrophe.

They were forced to attack, kill, and devour each other.

The Gu God, whose strength was not particularly formidable, saw a glimpse of a blood-stained future from the chaotic Heavenly Secrets by relying on one of the seven great laws he mastered.

Therefore, he sacrificed many of his relatives to fake his death and escape, while covering his body with the law of concealment and sleeping in the abyss of the southern border of the continent.

As expected, this was a battle with no winners.

Countless even more powerful supreme gods and demons were forced to perish in this war.

However, there were no gods or demons who could gather enough divine and demonic spiritual energy to completely open that heavenly gate.

Instead, their mutual attacks caused some of their spiritual essence to return to heaven and earth, giving birth to the true Dao of Heaven.

And that Heavenly Gate, as the Heavenly Dao gradually perfected itself, slowly closed.

At this point, the remaining supreme-grade gods and demons completely lost the option of transcending the supreme grade and transforming into the Heavenly Dao by devouring each other's spiritual essence.

On the contrary, it survived that catastrophe, which was described as devastating, thanks to its many unique characteristics.

Now, it clearly regards the dawn before it as one of its kind, barely surviving from that great calamity.

Li Ming lowered his gaze, scrutinizing the god and demon before him, and took a step forward.
"I have always been... just the Human Emperor!"

As the faint voice drifted out, Li Ming's body blazed with intense heat, golden light flashed, and his blood energy surged violently like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, the land within a radius of fifty miles in the already low-lying Abyss suddenly sank.

Endless smoke and dust rose into the sky like a curtain, obscuring the sun and tearing apart the thick cumulus clouds that had accumulated above the abyss.

This was the first time Dawn had gone all out since her battle with the Gara Tree.

Under his immense will, the terrifying fist intent surrounding him shook the void, about to materialize.

Gradually, it transformed into a tangible fist imprint!
Seal of the Human Emperor!
Whoosh!

From the deep-colored earth, a gigantic seal rose up, like a blazing sun in the sky.

Beyond the Crimson Gold Seal lies a real, existing world.

The endless human race lived there, and their fortune gathered into a visible river of humanity, propelling this fist imprint to crash down!
"Human Emperor...you're lying to me! Where did this Human Emperor come from! Who are you? Why can't I see your background?"

The Seven Deadly Gu, possessed by the Gu God, roared to the sky, its two black hole-like eyes gleaming with sharp light.

A Dharma image as large as a mountain of flesh seemed to fall from the depths of the void, crashing and shattering the heavy earth.

Clashing with the fist imprint!
The exchange between the two appeared slow, but in reality, it took less than a moment.

In an instant, all life in the entire Abyss Land was wiped out.

Regardless of whether it is a Gu beast that has been invaded by the power of the Gu God and has completely lost its mind.

Whether they remained dozens of miles away, quietly waiting for dawn to reinforce the seal on the extraordinary members of the Gu clan, a sense of awe rose in their hearts.

"Quick! Disperse!"

The Heavenly Gu Elder was the first to react.

Although he was only a second-rank cultivator, he was the strongest among all the extraordinary beings of the Gu clan.

However, his main ability is divination, not combat.

Even he wasn't confident he could escape unscathed from the aftershocks of this level of impact.

"escape!"

Then, Longtu realized what was happening.

Although he was tough and resilient, he still felt the unnaturalness of having his life in someone else's hands at that moment.

boom! boom! boom……

The group of Gu Clan transcendents instantly tore through the sound barrier, unleashing their fastest movement techniques as they fled in disarray towards the outside of the abyss.

In the next instant, extreme light and heat annihilated the earth, and a terrifying wave thousands of feet high rose in the air, instantly covering the place where they had just been.

Whoosh!

A curtain of heat descended, and a group of extraordinary beings walked through it, their formidable power being constantly eroded.

They fled in utter disarray for hundreds of miles before finally stopping.

Rumble!
Just as they landed, the Abyss, which had stood on this ancient land for countless years, shattered completely before their very eyes!

These dark-colored rocks, stained by the power of the Gu God for countless years, are so powerful that even members of the Power Gu Clan at the seventh or eighth rank cannot easily destroy them.

But in this massive explosion, one rocky mountain after another was annihilated!

"Is this... the true power of the Human Emperor?!"

Longtu's pupils dilated and contracted violently, and his expression became extremely unnatural.

The two sisters from the Love Poison Clan trembled, exchanged a glance, and began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Such powerful blood energy, such a strong Your Majesty, I want... to..."

Among the seven laws mastered by the Gu God, other abilities may be weakened to some extent depending on the strength of the person being cast the spell on.

Only this poison of lust.

No matter what level of existence it is, it cannot be weakened.

They could only rely on their strong will to forcibly endure it. Clearly, these two leaders of the Love Gu Clan were already finding it difficult to restrain themselves under the temptation of this lustful power.

Only the Heavenly Gu Elder remained silent, his two deep, penetrating eyes fixed on the horizon.

At the moment he released his aura at dawn, he finally caught a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and saw a more terrifying corner of the future.

Unfortunately, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, and even with his second-rank strength, he could not bear the price of revealing such heavenly secrets.

Having taken a direct hit from the Human Emperor's Seal, the Seven Deadly Gu, its body riddled with cracks, was utterly terrified.
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! I never imagined that after meticulously planning for ten thousand years to choose a gatekeeper for Him, He was still defeated by you..."

boom!
The vast blood energy propelled the river of humanity to crash down through the sky.

This terrifying scene, resembling the legendary collapse of the pillar of heaven and the reverse flow of the Milky Way, caused the Gu God to abruptly stop speaking.

It...in the end, it was completely shattered!

That mountain-like phantom body was completely reduced to nothingness by that punch.

"You only used your full strength, and you're already... a bit too weak!"

Li Ming slowly shook his head and opened his palms.

This Seven Deadly Gu, carrying part of the Gu God's will and spiritual essence, and on the verge of death, rushed out from the depths of the shattered earth and landed in his palm.

"Although you are strong now, if I want to refine you, I would at least have to reach the level of my original self. But your secret has finally been discovered by me!"

The Seven Deadly Gu, with its jade-like body, writhed and struggled in the palm of dawn's hand.

"How about you break part of the seal for me?"

The Seven Deadly Gu worms, having exhausted their remaining strength, rolled over and looked listlessly at the dawn.

"As long as you unlock part of the seal for me, I will not expose your secret and will not let you be exposed to the Heavenly Dao too early!"

Having also grasped a portion of the power of heavenly secrets, the Heavenly Gu Elder was able to see a glimpse of the future in that instant, and He naturally saw it as well.

Even the most seen!
Based on these fragmented pieces of information, he even managed to deduce part of Dawn's identity.

"Refining!"

Li Ming's expression was indifferent, but his thoughts were racing!
hum!
A wisp of ethereal, chaotic light descended upon the mortal realm and landed on the Seven Deadly Gu.

The Gu God suddenly felt as if his will and body were being nailed to the void by an invisible steel nail.

He...was unable to move, and a sense of dread inexplicably welled up within him.
"What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that I'll expose your identity to the Heavenly Dao?"

"I am waiting!"

Dawn fell, covering the sky.

Whoosh!

The invisible energy that filled the vast sky suddenly vanished.

The white jade Gu worm that he held in his palm also completely disappeared at this moment.

Only the statue of the Confucian sage stands in the center of the churning earth, and the tiny crack between his brows is slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Gu God, which had been continuously corroding outwards, finally fell into a deep sleep after some of its thoughts were refined.

"Threaten me? When you wake up again, this world will have changed!"

In the end, Dawn did not manage to refine the statue of the Confucian sage.

He only refined the Seven Absolute Gu that had evolved to the peak of the first rank!
The power of the Seven Deadly Gu was more than twice as much as that obtained from destroying the relics of the Bodhisattva of the Garuda Tree.

Clearly... this Gu worm has evolved to its limit.

Among the first-ranked individuals, only Shen Shu, a half-step Martial God, and the Supervisor are second only to him.

Speaking of that half-step Martial God, Li Ming's eyes flashed, and an uncontrollable fighting spirit surged in his heart.

Through his numerous trials, he discovered that the ultimate beings in this world, perhaps in terms of the essence of life, are equivalent to Sendai.

However... they are limited by the rules of heaven and earth that they can control, as well as the limitations of this world.

In terms of combat strength, they were far inferior to each other as true Sendai cultivators.

This difference is also reflected in cultivators at other realms.

Logically speaking, the Garuda tree and this Seven Deadly Gu should be related.

In essence, its realm corresponds to the seventh and eighth levels of the Dragon Transformation Realm!

However, the combat strength they reported only corresponded to the fifth or sixth level of the Dragon Transformation stage in the Heaven-Covering Secret Realm.

Otherwise, even if Dawn briefly combined the forces of the two realms into one, she might not be able to defeat them.

"The Heaven-Covering Technique..."

As dawn broke, thoughts raced through his mind, and he gained a new understanding of the true value of the Heaven-Covering Technique.

After a long while, he turned and left without looking back.
"But... I need to speed things up!"

This time, most of the situation was clearly under his control.

For example, the possibility that this Seven Deadly Gu could be manipulated by the Gu God was within his expectations.

However, he never expected that the Gu God could deduce a glimpse of the future from a wisp of aura he exuded during battle.

They even guessed his identity.

Although the Gu God had already fallen into a deep sleep because some of his thoughts had been refined by the Dao Diagram, he was unable to reveal his identity.

But this still gave dawn a sense of urgency.

A feeling that time is of the essence.

He needs to grow to a point where even the Heavenly Dao cannot shake him and can only allow him to reshape the world before the Heavenly Dao discovers his identity!

In the next instant, the power of Dao ignited, and endless power of heaven and earth converged, transforming into a white jade Gu worm in Li Ming's hand.

The Gu worm that Li Ming sensed was purely composed of seven laws and had completely severed its causal connection with the Gu God.
"The incomplete Dao of the Gu God... I hope it will bring me some surprises!"

Between heaven and earth, there are three thousand laws.

Furthermore, it possesses an extremely strict distinction between high and low.

But beyond the three thousand laws, there are countless composite laws.

It can also be argued that these so-called composite laws are interwoven from the different manifestations of the three thousand laws.

For example, the seven laws of the Gu God.

Among them, the Law of Force Gu is a manifestation of the Law of Force.

Tread!

With a single step, he traveled hundreds of miles. The numerous Gu Clan extraordinary beings hundreds of miles away only felt a blur before their eyes, and then a person appeared out of thin air.

After recognizing the newcomer, the extraordinary beings immediately abandoned their previous casual and relaxed attitude.

The Heavenly Gu Elder stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Is everything alright, Your Majesty?"

"The Gu God... will not awaken within five years, and the seal will be difficult to break within two hundred years!"

The moment the voice fell, heavy breathing filled the arena.

"Really... really?"

Longtu swallowed hard.

Beside him, the Heavenly Gu Elder, though he had glimpsed a corner of the future, still felt his heart pounding with fear.
