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

Chapter 154 Breakthrough
In the ultimate ancient land, an unparalleled figure stands tall.

Behind him lay an ancient bronze coffin pulled by nine dragon corpses.

The three bronze coffins are interconnected.

In the Sacred Ruins, some beings discovered that the three Heavenly Emperors looked alike, which was inextricably linked to their long-term contact with the Three Incarnations Coffin.

"The Desolate Emperor once entered the Land of Heaven in the smallest of these three ancient coffins. Over the years, I never imagined that the remaining two would eventually return here," the Butcher remarked.

As eras change, much history is lost in the river of time, but this coffin still exists in the world.

“Years ago, I received a message from the Desolate Emperor from this ancient coffin. Now, when I meet him again, I can’t get any information from him,” the butcher sighed.

He tried to activate the secret technique, hoping to gain some insights from it once again.

No matter how he tried, he didn't get any useful information.

“There’s nothing there,” the butcher said helplessly.

The current Desolate Emperor is in a deep sleep, so how could any news possibly get out?

They flew into the ancient cave in the middle and rushed along the passage.

This place is filled with chaotic laws of power, which even a Celestial King could not withstand.

Finally, I stood on an island.

The butcher used his divine sense to investigate, but found nothing.

"This place is terrifying," the butcher exclaimed.

He once visited the Desolate Emperor, wanting to know where the other had gone after disappearing for 80,000 years.

Unfortunately, they were not strong enough at the time, and the Desolate Emperor did not tell them, but only warned everyone that this place was extremely terrifying.

Only when he actually arrived here did he understand the meaning behind the words of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

The emperor, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "There is a living being there!"

Upon hearing this, the butcher felt a chill run down his spine.

His divine sense extended in the direction the emperor had pointed, searching for any trace of the other party.

Soon, the butcher finally spotted the figure.

"Let me see what your background is."

He reached out and pulled the other person in front of him.

"A complex and mixed blood and energy system."

The butcher's desire to uncover more secrets encountered tremendous obstacles.

Suddenly, the crimson blood surged violently, as if some terrifying being was about to be born.

At this moment, Li Xuan made his move.

In the blink of an eye, the riots returned to calm.

Ultimately, the butcher deduced the origin of the creature.

"It was formed from the surviving corpse of a supreme being," the butcher exclaimed in surprise.

This special existence only came into being because of the balance provided by the heavens and earth here.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. No matter how powerful one was in life, it is wishful thinking to try to stir up trouble after death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the butcher activated his secret technique, obliterating this special creature.

The three continued forward and encountered many large graves.

It stands on the scarlet water, not completely submerged.

The beings buried in these large tombs are very ancient, and even after death, they still possess remarkable energy.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the three stopped.

"We haven't even set foot in one corner of this realm; it is truly vast and boundless," the Emperor exclaimed in amazement.

On their way forward, they encountered several auras that did not belong to them, but fortunately, they had a true emperor, so no one dared to make a move rashly.

“Let’s return,” Li Xuan said.

They are not yet at the right time to truly set foot in this realm; further exploration would be of no benefit.

Neither the emperor nor the butcher made any insistence, and they set off to return.

Before long, the group returned to the Ancient Land of the Ultimate.

……

In a secret location, looking at the Kowloon Pavilion, disappointment flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

I thought that by taking the Nine Dragons Coffin into the heavens, I could resonate with the most mysterious coffin and obtain some useful information.

It now appears that the Desolate Emperor's condition has become quite serious.

Time slips away unnoticed, and 100,000 years pass in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan returned to the Immortal Realm and waited for Ye Fan and the other two to appear.

In the ultimate ancient land, he left behind the Dao traces of an Immortal Emperor. He would know immediately if an Immortal Emperor-level being made a move.

During this period, Duan De and Hei Huang both broke through to the Immortal King realm.

After breaking through to the Immortal King realm, the two became increasingly daring in their actions.

All the Immortal Kings whose cultivation level was lower than theirs had been extorted and blackmailed.

"You're taking what I left with you, and I'm just taking it back," the Black Emperor said shamelessly.

After Li Xuan returned to the Heavenly Court, the man and the dog became somewhat more subdued.

"Heavenly Emperor, why have the lords not returned yet?" the Black Emperor asked.

Duan De, standing to the side, also looked expectant; he too was eager to know about the Desolate Emperor's situation.

When Li Xuan revealed the information he knew, both of them looked somber.

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing unexpected will happen," Li Xuan reassured him.

If an unexpected event occurs, he will act across the river of time.

In a short time, he gathered all the Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm together.

Looking at everyone, Li Xuan looked surprised.

With the help of the World Tree, the rules of heaven and earth in the Three Realms became more and more perfect, and the number of powerful beings born exploded.

During his absence, the number of Celestial Kings reached ten.

All of them are supreme experts who have emerged from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and strange worlds.

None of the native creatures of the Immortal Realm have crossed over to the Immortal King realm.

Then, Li Xuan revealed his idea of ​​going to the heavens to fight.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the powerful figures present changed.

They had heard glimpses of the terrors beyond the heavens, and for a moment they were caught in a dilemma.

"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time. You can choose for yourselves."

He did not insist; even he himself could not guarantee a safe escape from the heavens.

Not to mention a group of celestial kings.

Only through blood and fire can one achieve a higher level of cultivation.

That was also his purpose.

Time slowly passed, and millions of years flew by in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes and looked at the World Tree.

In an instant, his figure appeared on Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Sensing the rich laws of nature here, his expression changed slightly.

The World Tree has grown from a small branch into a sapling.

Its branches and leaves are lush and abundant, and it is many times stronger than before.

The power of the World Tree greatly increased the cultivation speed of beings in the Three Realms. At the same time, the power of beings in the Three Realms, in turn, nourished the world, further enhancing the World Tree.

"The distance between me and becoming a true living being like the Willow God is still very long," Li Xuan said with a hint of regret.

As the ancestral spirit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the power of the Willow God is beyond doubt, but the difficulties one must overcome to grow to the same level as the other are also extremely difficult.

Li Xuan stayed at the World Tree for thousands of years, observing its changes.

After confirming that there was no serious problem, he set off to return.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the border sea.

In a secret place, a terrifying figure was breathing in and out the essence of heaven and earth.

With each breath, the physical body undergoes astonishing changes.

"In a million years at most, I will be able to fully enter the Immortal Emperor's realm," Hong Di said excitedly.

Over the years, he has tried many methods.

Even with his terrifying talent, reaching that level would still be extremely difficult.

Seeing this, he stopped sticking to his original method and tried to find another way.

He returned from the depths of time, having endured hardships far exceeding those of any quasi-immortal emperor in the mortal realm. Having once again cultivated to the level of a quasi-immortal emperor, his foundation had deepened to an even greater degree.

Traditional methods require a very long time to accumulate and break through, which is the main reason why Hongdi gave up.

He planned to separate a portion of his true spirit and Dao fruit to be tempered in the river of time.

Over the years, he has thoroughly consolidated his position.

His past experiences gave him the confidence to try this method.

Several hundred years passed, and Emperor Hong made all the necessary preparations.

With a thought, a figure just like him appeared.

"Fellow Daoist, it's up to you now."

As he spoke, Emperor Hong bowed to the other party.

The other person is his past self, using his past self to shape his future self.

In an instant, the opponent transformed into a rain of light and rushed upstream in the river of time.

They traveled to different eras to experience different histories.

Then, Emperor Hong sent out another figure.

This is the fruit of his enlightenment in this lifetime.

Unlike the past when he attained enlightenment, his figure then rushed downstream in the river of time.

When the Dao fruits of the past, present, and future are united, that will be the day he attains the Dao and becomes an Immortal Emperor.

Emperor Zun and others also attempted to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, preparing for their future conquest of the heavens.

……

In the Celestial Realm, within the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan gazed at the ancestral token in his hand, pondering his next step.

If the aura of this thing were exposed to the heavens, the number of powerful beings it would attract would be terrifying.

The Ominous Progenitor will not awaken until the seal on the artifact is broken, but the other powerful beings will not.

But other powerful individuals wouldn't do that; even if it came at a huge cost, they would still take action.

"When things become unbearable, take out this item and attract all the powerful figures here," Li Xuanxin thought.

At this moment, a broken object appears.

The Immortal Emperor Zhaoping's artifact was crippled upon his death.

Over the years, his imperial artifacts have been unable to advance any further.

The limitations imposed by the material itself make breakthroughs extremely difficult.

The fragments of the Immortal Emperor Zhaoping were refined into it to enhance the quality of the Emperor Sword.

Centuries passed, and a terrifying pressure swept across the Immortal Realm, causing all living beings to tremble.

"The Emperor Sword is complete!"

Holding the Emperor Sword, he lightly swung it into the void, unleashing an incredibly terrifying aura with far-reaching effects.

"When we conquer the heavens in the future, we will have a greater chance of success."

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

Ye Fan and the others still hadn't returned from the river of time; instead, their auras became increasingly blurred.

He used to be able to deduce vague signs of energy, but now the traces he obtains are becoming increasingly scarce.

"The dangers they experienced were absolutely terrifying."

The Black Emperor wanted to follow, but Li Xuan stopped him.

Having only recently established itself in the realm of immortal kings, its journey to the River of Time was tantamount to courting death.

Even a Celestial King wouldn't dare guarantee his own safety.

Suddenly, Li Xuan paused, looking into the depths of the Boundary Sea.

"An emperor is about to be born!"

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

Such a short period of time to add another emperor is unprecedented in history.

"Let's go, it's time for us to get going."

Soon, the ten Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm gathered together.

"Gentlemen, those who wish to go, please step forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, six more Celestial Kings stepped forward.

Apart from the Black Emperor and Duan De, the other four are all supreme giants among the Immortal Kings, and have long since made a name for themselves in the fragments of the Immortal Realm.

Of course, in terms of infamous reputation, Black Emperor and Duan De are no less fearsome than these Immortal King giants.

"Let's go," Li Xuan said.

He did not force the remaining Celestial Kings.

Reaching this point was already incredibly difficult; with their strength, even protecting themselves would be a challenge on the Boundary Sea, let alone reaching the Heavens.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea dike...

The river of time surged, sending forth showers of light from its upper and lower reaches, rushing toward the present era.

A terrifying aura was contained within the two showers of light, chilling everyone present to the bone.

"This is the aura of Fellow Daoist Hongdi!" the Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

The aura within surpassed that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, far beyond what they could compare to.

“An emperor will be born!” the butcher declared.

Guided by the vast rain of light, they converged in one direction.

The strange phenomenon lasted for several days before subsiding.

In a secret place, an unparalleled figure sat cross-legged.

His aura made heaven and earth tremble, and oppressed the past and present.

"Break it for me!"

Feeling the immense power within himself, Emperor Hong did not hesitate and began his breakthrough.

During his breakthrough, he encountered terrifying resistance.

In the realm of Immortal Emperors, every slight flaw is extremely fatal.

Having returned from the past, his flaws surpass those of other quasi-immortal emperors.

In the blink of an eye, a terrible calamity befell him.

Normal beings don't need these to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but Emperor Hong had no choice but to do his best.

These calamities are all related to cause and effect, and are the backlash from the long river of time.

Emperor Hong was originally an unparalleled genius in the world. This calamity was terrifying, but it could not stop his progress.

Before long, Hongdi's physical body erupted with unparalleled energy, far surpassing the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

"break!"

Emperor Hong mobilized all his power and finally broke through this last obstacle.

In an instant, his divine sense pierced through the ages, and in a single thought, he forgot all cause and effect.

Suddenly, he felt a malicious gaze.

"It's you! I'll be waiting for you in this realm to settle the scores of the past." Emperor Hong roared.

Meanwhile, in the unknown land, a figure withdrew his gaze, his eyes cold and sharp.

"I knew there was a problem when I failed to break through to the Immortal Emperor level. I didn't expect you to reach this point. But so what? You're just a slightly larger ant."

In an instant, he rushed to the location of Emperor Hong.

Unrestrainedly releasing its own energy, it oppresses the past and present.

At the boundary sea dike, Emperor Hongdi looked furious, his supreme aura pressing down on heaven and earth.

At this moment, Li Xuan arrived at the Boundary Sea.

"Fellow Daoist, a great battle is about to begin. Please stabilize this world to avoid far-reaching consequences," said Emperor Hong.

Li Xuan had no objection; he also wanted to see how much strength Hong Di, who had just entered the Immortal Emperor realm, possessed.

When the Emperor and the others learned of the cause and effect, their expressions were surprised.

At the same time, they also wanted to see how strong Hongdi was.

A Celestial Emperor, a powerful being, transcends everything in an instant.

A giant hand shot out from the sky, aiming to obliterate the opponent.

"roll!"

Emperor Hong charged forward and blocked the colossal hand.

boom!
The heavens and earth trembled, but not much energy was released.
