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

Chapter 144 The Situation is Brutal
Over the years, people have tried to awaken the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor more than once, but the results have been mediocre.

Countless rare and precious materials entered the body of the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor, yet they could not cause any ripples.

"If he doesn't awaken within a million years, then there's no chance he'll ever wake up again," said Emperor Hong.

He lived the longest and knew more than many emperors.

It was impossible to hide Tianyan Immortal Emperor's situation from him.

Those present changed their expressions upon hearing this.

But now they have tried all the possible methods, and there are no more methods left to use.

The damage caused by the Immortal Emperor was too great, even if it was just a single mark.

"The only thing we can do now is for him to decide," Emperor Hong said helplessly.

The darkness of the ultimate ancient land has not yet been explored, and every emperor is extremely precious.

Even if there are some secret techniques that can awaken the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor, the damage to oneself would be too great, so it is not advisable to try.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the injuries of the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor have eased somewhat, but there has been no sign of him waking up.

"Why were you unafraid of the Immortal Emperor's Dao traces in the Ultimate Ancient Land?" Hongdi asked.

Over the years, he has tried more than once to deduce why the other party could withstand the pressure of the Immortal Emperor, something that was inconceivable in that era.

"Because of it!"

Li Xuan took out a fragment, which was stained with a faint aura of an Immortal Emperor.

"I obtained a remnant artifact of the Immortal Emperor by chance, which is how I was able to resist it," Li Xuan explained.

His celestial pool is too mysterious; no one but him can know about it.

"Unfortunately, in that battle, in order to break out of the predicament, only fragments remain now."

After hearing all this, Emperor Hong felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After all, given the other party's extraordinary abilities, anything that happens is perfectly reasonable.

"What a pity!" Emperor Hong sighed helplessly, no longer dwelling on the matter.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the Ultimate Ancient Land has occasionally sent out Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Every time they made a move, they were stopped by the butcher and his men, preventing them from going any further.

"This absolutely won't do. The number of Emperors on the other side is definitely more than a handful. They can wear us down to death just by attrition," Butcher said.

"Given our current strength, there's not much we can do even if we know the outcome," the Emperor said.

The current situation is extremely harsh; they are willing to solve it but powerless to do so.

Thus, the two sides remained locked in a standoff for thousands of years.

The mysterious Immortal Emperor never went all out, continuing to disrupt the heavenly secrets here as before.

On this side of the sea dike, a massive amount of life essence surged into a secret place.

The supreme energy lasted for several days before finally calming down.

The Quasi-Immortal Emperor's aura surged, making it difficult for the kings to breathe.

"Congratulations on your awakening, fellow Daoist," said Emperor Hong.

He hadn't expected that the other person would be able to wake up after suffering such severe injuries.

The Celestial Emperor Tianyan gave a helpless bitter smile, then inhaled forcefully into the void, unleashing a burst of scorching energy.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, and the terrifying phenomenon dissipated between heaven and earth.

"The damage from the explosion of the Immortal Emperor's artifact was too great. Now I can only slowly wear down the damage left by the Immortal Emperor's aura," said the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor.

Soon, Emperor Hong learned of the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor's awakening and returned immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Tianyan!" Emperor Hong exclaimed excitedly.

When old friends meet, there is so much to say.

After a long while, both sides calmed down.

"What's happening in the heavens?" Emperor Hong asked the crucial question.

"It's too difficult. I've already paid a huge price just to get here," said the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor.

"The changes here have naturally attracted the attention of many people. Many emperors wanted to come to this realm, but they all encountered terrifying ambushes."

"The other side has dispatched two emperors to prevent us from interfering here."

At this point, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor's expression turned ugly.

"At the time, it was impossible to investigate, but I am quite certain that a battle between Immortal Emperors broke out in this realm."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

If there is an emperor in this realm, why are there no reports of these quasi-immortal emperors?

In the history of this realm, only two Immortal Emperors have appeared. The first emperor was killed by the second emperor after being tainted by dark matter.

Li Xuan looked thoughtful, wondering which emperor had made the move.

Corpse Immortal Emperor!

In this world, only the other side is likely to make a move.

The Immortal Emperor transcends the river of time, a truly supreme being.

They can be in any period of time, as long as they want.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was resurrected by the Desolate Heaven Emperor, who was very likely in this period of time, and stopped the darkness from taking action.

However, given the current situation, there is no way to determine the other party's identity; the gap between the two sides is too great to be investigated.

"Are you sure?" Emperor Hong asked seriously.

"I have witnessed the power of an Immortal Emperor before, and this supreme aura is absolutely genuine," Immortal Emperor Tianyan affirmed.

"Unfortunately, that great battle did not last long, and that aura of the Immortal Emperor disappeared."

When the Celestial Emperor Tianyan mentioned this, a hint of regret flashed across his face.

If that nameless emperor could hold out a little longer, their side would have more time to react.

"After crossing the passage to get here, we were met with a terrifying ambush."

After hearing the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor's account, everyone's expressions turned grim.

The root of all this is a lack of strength.

"How many emperors are there in the Dark Land?" Li Xuan asked.

The other side had been fighting there the longest and knew more information.

"I'm not sure, but I can go there and I'm sure there are at least three Immortal Emperor Dao traces. Even though they are very well hidden, I still sensed them."

The Emperor and the others looked grim. Even a single Immortal Emperor Dao mark in the Dark Land had caused a great deal of impact, and the current situation was even worse than before.

"The Immortal Emperor artifact I brought was damaged in that battle, and now we are at a complete disadvantage," said the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor.

The atmosphere fell silent once again.

Everyone present had gone through countless years to reach this point, yet they were now trapped by the Immortal Emperor's Dao Mark.

"If that person were still alive, we wouldn't be in this situation!" the butcher roared.

In this world, no one can contact the Desolate Emperor.

In fact, even the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor and others who had followed the Desolate Heavenly Emperor were equally puzzled, as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had suddenly disappeared.

Even the ancestors couldn't find any trace of the Desolate Emperor, let alone this group of people.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed.

A small portion of the Immortal Emperor's aura on the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor's body has been worn away, but he can still unleash a portion of the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

"If it weren't for the aura of an Immortal Emperor there, I would have charged in alone right now," the Emperor said.

At this moment, several emperors emerged from the land of darkness.

The dazzling imperial light pierced through the years, and the time of the Immortal Emperor was extremely long.

"Gentlemen, we have come here to find someone among you," the leader said.

"I've heard that you have a Saintly Body Emperor. Well, it just so happens that we have a Tyrant Immortal," said Immortal Emperor Gengyuan.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's expression changed slightly.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Holy Body and the Overlord Body are mortal enemies.

Unexpectedly, the battle between the Sacred Body and the Overlord Body would erupt again at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. "Do you think you're worthy?" the Emperor replied.

"If you do not fight, I will directly activate the Immortal Emperor's Dao Mark and completely annihilate this place," Immortal Emperor Gengyuan said coldly.

Undeterred by the danger, the Emperor raised the World Cauldron above his head, drawing upon countless Great Daos to strike at his opponent.

He knew very well that if the other party could easily activate the Immortal Emperor's Dao Mark, their place would have been destroyed long ago, so why wait until today?

Gengyuan Immortal Emperor's expression changed slightly as he watched the approaching Emperor.

Clearly, they hadn't expected the other party to dare to make a move.

In a short time, the Emperor and Immortal Emperor Gengyuan exchanged hundreds of blows.

Every move made by both sides unleashed immense power, shattering the river of time and causing terrifying energy surges.

"So powerful!" Immortal Emperor Gengyuan exclaimed.

He had been a Quasi-Immortal Emperor for far longer than his opponent, yet they had fought to a draw. Only he knew the difference in their abilities.

Several days passed, and the Emperor and Gengyuan Immortal Emperor remained evenly matched.

The World Cauldron evolved into myriad spirits, from which countless vast worlds emerged, creating a terrifying impact on the battlefield.

At this moment, a dazzling sword light pierced through countless ages and struck Emperor Gengyuan.

boom!
Gengyuan Immortal Emperor's blood-stained figure fell.

He tried to dodge the sword light, but found that everything around him was blocked, and there was no way to escape.

"Young man, you have some strength!" said Immortal Emperor Gengyuan.

The secret technique was activated, and his condition returned to its peak.

“You must be that Holy Body Emperor!” said Immortal Emperor Gengyuan.

"Get out, or die!" Li Xuan said coldly.

Geng Yuan Immortal Emperor remained calm and said, "Does the Holy Body not want to fight the Overlord Body?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's expression changed slightly.

He had never witnessed a hegemonic body becoming an emperor before.

During his time in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he had killed many powerful beings, and even during the Great Completion Tribulation, he forcefully killed a Great Completion Body.

The Immortal and the Immortal King had never witnessed a Overlord Body before, but now that they had seen one in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, his fighting spirit was ignited.

“Okay, I promise you!” Li Xuan replied.

At this moment, the Emperor spoke up, saying that he would stop Li Xuan.

When he was in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he already knew about the feud between the Holy Body and the Overlord Body.

Every battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and one side was bound to fall.

If the other party perishes, all will be well. But if Li Xuan perishes, the Boundary Sea will suffer a tremendous blow.

"Don't worry, I'm confident I can win if I take action!" Li Xuan replied.

"If I am victorious, you shall not attack again for a million years."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Emperor Gengyuan's expression changed slightly, but he still agreed to the other party's conditions.

He had made complete arrangements to ensure that the other person would be forever etched in the annals of time.

After all, no matter how serious the feud between the Holy Body and the Overlord Body is, it's not worth their time to get involved.

Soon, Emperor Hong and others heard about what had happened and tried their best to dissuade Li Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist, think it over carefully. This journey is almost certainly a death sentence," said Emperor Hong.

Having dealt with the strange creature for many years, he firmly believed that it would never act out of any so-called grudge.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure they suffer a crushing defeat!" Li Xuan said.

Then, they stepped into the void.

His figure flickered and appeared in a special period of time.

The Quasi-Immortal Emperor released his aura, probing the world around him.

He was well aware of their strange idea; by personally getting involved, he intended to keep them from making a move in the short term.

At the edge of heaven and earth, a majestic figure stood tall, surrounded by overwhelming malevolent energy.

He sensed that the source of this malevolent energy was the same as his, but much weaker.

The number of malevolent energies that are formed and killed will be terrifying.

He considered himself to have slain many Dark Immortal Kings, but compared to this opponent, he was insignificant.

"They said they wanted me to hold you back and buy time to prepare the Immortal Emperor's aura to kill you, but I've changed my mind now. I want to kill you ahead of time," Zhan Kun said coldly.

Over the years, he has killed two Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and now the addition of a Saint Body Immortal Emperor will be a significant chapter in his years of conquest.

Both sides released their vital energy, staining this period of time red.

"war!"

Zhan Kun, wielding a giant axe, charged toward Li Xuan.

The blood stained on the giant axe speaks volumes about its power.

He drew his sword to meet the attack, and his supreme aura blocked the terrifying blow.

The river of time is turbulent and cannot sustain the energy of the two individuals.

This period of time was already difficult to trace, and now it has completely disappeared from the world's sight.

"This brute is courting death!" Gengyuan Immortal Emperor roared.

The opponent's strength far surpasses that of Zhan Kun Immortal Emperor; engaging in a one-on-one battle would be tantamount to suicide.

"Use the power of an Immortal Emperor to find that period of time no matter what," said Immortal Emperor Gengyuan.

They've prepared for this for so long; they can't let all their previous preparations turn to ashes because of him alone.

Soon, strange celestial light flickered in the ancient land, probing into the river of time.

Although the Emperor and his companions were unaware of what had happened, some unpleasant things still occurred upon their arrival.

"Fellow Daoist's strength has become even more unfathomable," said the Emperor.

At the same time, they are also trying to find the period of Li Xuanli's life.

Thus, the two groups acted together, solely to pinpoint the period of the great war.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the two emperor's weapons clashed over time.

The true form initiated the most primal hand-to-hand combat.

Li Xuan's physical body had undergone several enhancements, but he still felt immense pressure when facing the Overlord Body.

The blood scattered and instantly turned to ashes.

A massive fist landed on the Overlord's left arm, shattering it instantly and turning it into a bloody mist.

Li Xuan also took a solid hit and suffered considerable damage.

"So powerful!" Zhan Kun exclaimed.

However, he did not stop there, and his attacks became even more ferocious, determined to kill his opponent.

An unparalleled aura erupted during this period, and the figures of the two gradually blurred.

Their presence can be found in the past, the future, and the present, yet their true identities remain elusive.

"Die!" Li Xuan said.

The unparalleled fist light landed on Zhan Kun, and the supreme energy instantly tore his flesh apart.

As the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's aura circulated, Zhan Kun's figure reappeared.

With a flash, he appeared beside Li Xuan.

With a powerful punch, a hole appeared in Li Xuan's body, running from front to back.

But when he tried to retreat, Zhan Kun's arm was grabbed by Li Xuan, who pulled hard and tore it apart.

"I want you dead!" Zhan Kun roared.

He activated the secret technique without reservation, and three thousand Dharma forms appeared behind him, each one unique.

The three thousand Dharma forms moved with him, pressing down on the opponent.
