Covering the sky: Traveling through the holy body, suppressing the dark turmoil

Chapter 133 The Emperor Returns
In the long river of time, the phantom of countless beings battling each other exists in the past and the future.

The true form is unknown, having fought in some unknown era.

Over time, the two sides fought several times.

The river of time broke, and the supreme path surged forth.

With the Celestial Kings here, the aftershocks of the great battle could injure even a whole host of Celestial Kings.

"Those who come after you, today is your death day," the Cloud Emperor said ruthlessly.

With a thought, another Cloud Emperor appeared.

The two of them had exactly the same aura, without any difference.

This is another version of himself that he salvaged from the river of time.

This method violates the law of cause and effect; by relying on forces that do not belong to oneself, one will eventually have to pay the price.

In order to eliminate those who came after him, Emperor Yun risked everything.

If there is cause and effect, then let it all fall upon others.

In the blink of an eye, three quasi-immortal emperors clashed together in the river of time.

Li Xuan's expression changed as he watched; the Cloud Emperor's methods had truly shocked him.

His figure shifted several times, but the Cloud Emperor's figure remained constantly pursuing him.

With a single palm strike, the power of laws collided, and all sorts of unknowable phenomena appeared.

What he needs is the current Cloud Emperor; the Cloud Emperor salvaged from the river of time is of no use to him.

He quickly realized that the person in front of him was not the current Emperor Yun.

Using a series of secret techniques, his figure quickly dissipated.

Soon, his figure appeared beside Emperor Yun.

The sixth secret realm glowed, and the secret technique manifested strange phenomena, rushing towards the Cloud Emperor.

boom!
The river of time was in turmoil, and a terrifying force tore everything apart.

Li Xuan's figure appeared slightly weak, and he quickly retreated.

Over the course of time, the two sides have clashed countless times.

But in the end, under his guidance, the Cloud Emperor finally arrived at the period he had prepared in advance.

Just as they were about to give chase, the Cloud Emperor, who had been retrieved from the river of time, reached out and stopped them.

"An ominous sign!"

The Cloud Emperor's expression changed several times as he probed into that era with his divine sense.

After a long while, he withdrew his divine sense and found nothing amiss.

In fact, there were no problems during this period.

But there's something wrong with the people inside.

That period was a state where two periods overlapped simultaneously; without getting involved, it was impossible to discover the problems within it.

Soon, another Cloud Emperor made a move.

The true body did not enter; instead, the Cloud Emperor from another time period stepped inside.

Li Xuan, who was in the middle, changed his expression slightly. He did not expect the Cloud Emperor to be so cautious.

The Cloud Emperor in the river of time remained silent, unleashing a world-destroying killing move to kill his opponent.

Several distinct streams of energy surged forth, relentlessly assaulting the Cloud Emperor.

This is the karma that Emperor Yun owes, and now the river of time is settling accounts for it all.

The Cloud Emperor in the river of time looked furious; he hadn't expected all of this to happen so quickly.

The clash of the laws of power, which started as an even match, eventually resulted in the Cloud Emperor being completely defeated.

The supreme energy stirred the Cloud Emperor, prompting him to annihilate this being.

Such power, even for a quasi-immortal emperor, could only be slowed down, not overpowered.

“It’s time to end this,” Li Xuan said coldly.

If this Cloud Emperor isn't dealt with, the real Cloud Emperor will never set foot here.

A tributary of the river of time transformed into countless arrows, which fell upon the Cloud Emperor.

With a roar of resentment, the Cloud Emperor, retrieved from the river of time, vanished.

The secrets of heaven here are in chaos, and no messages are being sent out.

Outside, Emperor Yun sensed the disappearance of another version of himself.

"As fellow quasi-Immortal Emperors, I refuse to believe he can kill me."

With one step, the Cloud Emperor of this era stepped into it.

Upon entering, the previously accumulated years merge into one.

An inexplicable aura surged through the Cloud Emperor.

"Another emperor!" Emperor Yun exclaimed in surprise.

His divine senses erupted, determined to find another emperor.

Soon, the figure of the Hong Emperor came into view.

"A crippled emperor, no, not even as good as a crippled emperor," said Emperor Yun.

At this point, he was completely relieved.

How much of a threat can a creature that is not even as powerful as a crippled imperial capital pose?

In the void, several black dragons coiled, swallowing the sun and moon.

With a single swipe of its claws, countless stars shattered, creating an apocalyptic scene.

With the Black Dragon holding the line, Emperor Yun charged towards Li Xuan's direction.

The power of the laws dissipated, and its supreme power impacted every era.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye. Li Xuan made no attempt to conceal his true power, and the strength of his three paths to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was now fully revealed.

Reversing the initial downward trend, the powerful aura pressed down on Emperor Yun, making it impossible for him to lift his head.

Heaven and earth collapsed, and chaos spread everywhere.

In an era completely out of step with our own, the two waged a terrifying war.

Li Xuan's true form stood tall and imposing, a light flashing in his right hand. The dazzling light soared into the sky, transforming into a long spear in the void, illuminating the past and present.

Boom!

Guided by him, the spear swept towards the black dragon in the void.

In the blink of an eye, the special field created by the Cloud Emperor was broken.

The spear did not stop; Li Xuan's figure appeared on the shaft.

Then, he swung his spear and charged towards Emperor Yun.

"when!"

A clash of titans, the resulting ripples destroy all worlds.

In an instant, the light shone with billions of rays.

In the next instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, dark clouds rolled in, stars shattered, and the world came to an end.

puff!
The Cloud Emperor's figure retreated rapidly, while the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's aura rippled, leaving him powerless to attend to anything else.

The black dragon beneath his feet shattered countless times before finally allowing the Cloud Emperor's figure to stabilize.

Emperor Yun roared to the sky, and the black dragon beneath his feet merged with him. He was now the only supreme being here.

The black dragon was breathing in and out the river of time, as if the river of time had begun from that moment.

Without any hesitation, Li Xuan gripped his spear and thrust it towards Emperor Yun.

boom!
The dragon's claws attacked the spear, intending to tear it apart.

The ripples of the Great Dao impacted the river of time, breaking countless times.

The spear glowed and pierced the dragon's claw.

With a powerful push, the spear tip pierced the dragon's body, penetrating it from front to back.

"Ow..."

The black dragon roared in agony, ignoring the spear piercing its body, determined to escape this era.

Despite the blind rush, instead of leaving, she appeared beside Li Xuan.

He reached out and grabbed, and another long spear appeared in the void.

He hurled it with all his might, and the spear pierced the black dragon.

The two long spears inside the black dragon extinguished its life force.

"what……"

The black dragon vanished, and the Cloud Emperor reappeared.

His spirits were low and his vitality was weak.

Those two shots had negligible effect on the physical body, but were aimed directly at the primordial spirit.

The Quasi-Immortal Emperor's aura erupted, and the Cloud Emperor forcibly improved his condition to stabilize the injuries to his primordial spirit.

The damage caused by the destruction of his avatar in the river of time has not been recovered, and now his primordial spirit has been injured as well.

If it weren't for the fact that a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is difficult to destroy, the power of cause and effect alone would have been enough to annihilate him.

He opened his palm, and an object appeared.

Without hesitation, the Cloud Emperor shattered his outer form, triggering the Celestial Emperor's aura within.

In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield reversed. Under the aura of the Immortal Emperor, all laws were impervious.

No matter how hard Li Xuan tried, he could not get close to Emperor Yun.

He hadn't expected the Cloud Emperor to be so afraid of death; he was only seriously injured, yet he had already activated his life-saving artifact.

Within the aura of the Celestial Emperor, the Cloud Emperor absorbed and exhaled a massive amount of life essence, repairing himself.

In a hundred years at most, he can return to his peak.

The Celestial Emperor's aura is supreme, and even after ten thousand years, there is no possibility of breaking through it.

If the hole is not broken within a hundred years, Li Xuan's situation will become extremely difficult.

Holding a long sword, he charged towards Emperor Yun without regard for anything else.

The Celestial Emperor's aura was supreme, leaving absolutely no flaws.

The Emperor Hong, who was hiding in the shadows, was also in a bad mood; he hadn't expected this to happen.

"Fellow Daoist, how about we retreat?" Emperor Hong asked tentatively.

Li Xuan did not reply, and his sword-wielding hand did not stop.

My mind raced, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

With so many preparations made for this trip, there is no other choice but to kill the Cloud Emperor.

bump bump!
He wielded his sword for fifty years, yet he still could not break through the Dao traces of the Immortal Emperor.

The Cloud Emperor's condition is gradually improving, and he will be able to return to his peak in less than fifty years.

Various secret methods were employed, but with little effect.

"The aura of the Immortal Emperor is too strong. Even if I risk everything now, there is absolutely no chance."

My mind is in turmoil; I'm searching for a way out of this predicament.

At this moment, the Immortal Pool within the Life Spring underwent a change.

He transcended the Spring of Destiny, traversed five secret realms, and finally landed in the sixth secret realm.

With a slight tremor, an aura that did not belong to this era erupted.

The laws of the Great Dao descended and landed in the sixth secret realm.

Li Xuan's strength increased rapidly, and he stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor in an instant.

In this place, past, present, and future, he is the only one.

Without any hesitation, he swung his sword.

A dazzling sword light slashed out, and the aura of an Immortal Emperor erupted.

The Cloud Emperor's defenses were instantly breached, and the sword light, undiminished, pointed directly at him.

"Ah! How is that possible!" Emperor Yun exclaimed in disbelief.

A quasi-Immortal Emperor actually unleashed the power of an Immortal Emperor; no living being would believe such a thing if it were told.

But today, he actually experienced that scene.

The dazzling sword light was invincible, and the Cloud Emperor's primordial spirit was destroyed in the sword light.

Without any power to resist, they simply perished.

Under Li Xuan's guidance, the emperor's body was preserved in great condition.

Emperor Hong watched this scene with a look of shock that lingered for a long time.

Even after countless years, he will never forget this moment.

That sword light didn't stop at all, rushing towards the unknown future.

After unleashing this sword strike, Li Xuan's figure plummeted downwards at breakneck speed.

All the power in his body was exhausted by that one sword strike.

The river of time washes over the body, and in an instant, hair turns white.

In the end, he became an old man in his twilight years.

Leaning on the Azure Sword, he managed to stay upright and not fall down immediately.

Emperor Hong flew towards Li Xuan's direction, but the Emperor Sword was so powerful that he could not get close.

"Let's restore the imperial body first; it's not going to die yet." A weak voice came from the aged body.

Hongdi did not refuse. He reached out and summoned some streams of light from the river of time, which landed on Yundi.

"May your soul return to its origin..."

Using an ancient secret technique, the Hong Emperor's primordial spirit flew into his body.

Seeing that everything was on track, Li Xuan began to examine his own situation.

The Immortal Emperor's attack even exhausted the indestructible matter in the primordial spirit of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, leaving him no different from a mortal.

It was because wisps of immortal substance flowed from the Immortal Pool that he was not killed immediately.

"This time it's really a disaster!" Li Xuan sighed.

In the long course of time, he had no chance of recovery.

It took a long time at the time for even a slight chance of recovery.

His foundation in immortality was severely damaged, so even he couldn't do anything about it.

Within the Cloud Emperor's physical body, the Hong Emperor guided the golden fragments to clear away some inappropriate elements from the Emperor's body.

"This kind of thing was already beginning to emerge in my time, but I never imagined that it would evolve to this point after so long."

The eerie traces dissipated from the Emperor's body. Although it damaged his foundation, it would bring him great benefits in the future.

Only after everything was settled did Emperor Hong return with peace of mind.

The river of time surged, bringing calamity and obliterating the Hong Emperor.

At this point, the function of the imperial body came into play.

Most of the calamities were blocked outside, with only a small number falling into the primordial spirit.

Even so, the damage to Emperor Hong was still enormous.

Despite the long and arduous ordeal, Hongdi maintained his immortal spirit and ultimately withstood it.

As the light of the primordial spirit shone, the remnants of the Dao Fruit of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor left over from this era fell into the physical body.

Countless layers of celestial light illuminated the ages.

Then, the golden fragment transformed into a stream of light and fell into the Emperor's body.

This place preserves his remaining Dao fruits, which gradually replaced the Dao traces left by Emperor Yun.

In a very short time, Emperor Yun's Dao Fruit vanished completely.

The Great Dao of the Immortal Emperor erupted, and the Hong Emperor gradually began to take control of this physical body.

Initially, the Imperial Body strongly rejected the Primordial Spirit of the Primordial Emperor.

As time goes by, the Hong Emperor can briefly control the imperial body.

To revive the ancient Immortal Emperor's Great Dao will be an extremely long process.

Under the imperial light, the Hong Emperor controlled his physical body and broke through the river of time.

Having blocked most of the pressure, the two headed towards the present era.

After enduring countless hardships, the two figures appeared in the world.

The Soul Emperor's expression changed as he looked at the "Cloud Emperor" who had appeared.

His sensitivity to the primordial spirit allowed him to immediately detect the other party's situation.

Without any hesitation, the Soul Emperor broke through the Flood Emperor's grasp and appeared in the Dark Ancient Land.

Even the Cloud Emperor, relying on the Dao traces of an Immortal Emperor, could perish. So what's the point of him staying here any longer?

Staying in the Dark Ancient Land, relying on the Immortal Emperor's Dao traces here, can ensure one's safety.

Emperor Hong looked at the aged Li Xuan, and his expression changed slightly.

He is now very eager to know what exactly happened in the long river of time.

At this moment, Emperor Hong's figure collapsed.

Returning to the present world is already the limit that the primordial spirit can currently achieve.

"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly," Li Xuan said weakly.

Emperor Hong understood the implications and broke through the dark storm, heading towards the Dark Continent.

Soon, the three reappeared on this side of the dam.

The butcher looked at the aged Li Xuan, and his shock was no less than that of Emperor Hong.

He examined Li Xuan's body with his divine sense and was worried about its damaged state.

The chances of a quasi-Immortal Emperor recovering from injuries to this extent are extremely slim.

Li Xuan told the two about the River of Time, but concealed the situation of the Immortal Pool.

The butcher sighed repeatedly and said, "I will find a way to help you recover."

Emperor Hong also said he would find a way to help him recover.

In a secret place, Li Xuan looked at his aged self and gave a helpless bitter smile.

The situation in the Immortal Pool was equally bad, since even if he were completely drained, he would not be able to unleash the combat power of an Immortal Emperor.

The vast majority of the power was provided by the Immortal Pool, and it was through the physical body that that earth-shattering transformation was achieved.

However, the cost is also outrageously high.

If it weren't for his profound knowledge and experience, he wouldn't even have been qualified to wield that sword.
