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

Chapter 80 The Sealed Years
Outside, the native creatures of Feixian Star who wanted to approach this place were forced to retreat upon sensing the terrifying aura emanating from within.

The Kunlun descendants, who have lived here for countless years, are all too familiar with the aura of the seal. They cannot understand why the Emperor's schemes still exist here.

Along with their ancestor who transformed into a snake, they were all suppressed in this place by the Emperor.

It seemed as if their clan's fate was destined to be unable to escape the shadow of the Emperor.

……

Deep within the sealed land, countless runes illuminate the heavens, and celestial light shines upon the world.

It was like a celestial well, from which terrifying power surged forth, making one's soul uneasy.

The Serpent and the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana sensed the terrifying aura within, and felt a vague unease in their hearts, though they did not know where it came from.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic transformation, and the aura of immortality grew increasingly intense. However, Hua She and the Heavenly Venerable of Nirvana felt themselves drawing ever closer to death.

The Immortal Path has not yet been opened, but there is still a surge of immortal energy here, mysterious and unpredictable, with flowing immortal light and billions of runes flying around, densely packed, which is awe-inspiring to the world.

“Even if there is no immortal path here, it is still a sacred place that is hard to find in the world!” Lingbao Tianzun sighed.

Li Xuan was equally amazed by the wonders of this place; seeing it for yourself is far better than hearing about it a hundred times.

Deep within, ancient imprints are etched, indicating that a peerless powerhouse single-handedly suppressed this place.

Li Xuan knew that the person who left the mark that suppressed everything here was the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and that the Emperor Venerable left it here to restore the array patterns of the Immortal Cauldron.

“The aura here is incredibly ancient!” Lingbao Tianzun glanced over and immediately understood that the history of this place far surpassed the mythical era.

Li Xuan stared at the mark of the Desolate Tower on the Immortal Well, his eyes gleaming as he deduced the location of the Desolate Tower.

Throughout history, apart from the Azure Emperor and Ye Fan of later generations, almost no one has ever obtained the Desolate Tower.

He still doesn't understand why the Azure Emperor could find the Desolate Tower and even evolve a Celestial Realm there.

The Desolate Tower was crafted by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. The Azure Emperor's previous incarnation, the Chaos Azure Lotus Seed, had a karmic connection with the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, which is why it was willing to agree to the Azure Emperor's insane request.

When the idea first came to him, he thought it was ridiculous. How could such a ridiculous thing happen? But the unreliable nature of Huangta in later generations made him think that Huangta might actually do such a thing.

Li Xuan used the divination method he obtained from the Underworld Lord to deduce the location of the Desolate Tower using the imprint of this place as a medium.

Time is hard to trace back, it stretches on endlessly, and what exactly happened is now difficult to ascertain.

Celestial light flowed, and powerful energy erupted from his body. Countless runes scattered, turning into a rain of light that surged into a long river.

Time flows!

Lingbao Tianzun noticed the changes here and did not expect that the other party could evolve this technique to such an extent in such a short time.

The Serpent and the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, standing in the distance, stared at the illusory image of the River of Time, their faces filled with fear. They sensed a strong sense of threat emanating from that river.

The mighty river surges, and each wave that crashes down represents the endless passage of time.

A streak of light flew out from this era, traveling upstream against the flow of time.

The faintest traces here were left by the Supreme Beings, not to mention that they also involve the Immortal Dao realm and are related to the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

A powerful phantom blocked his path, but Li Xuan channeled his magic power, and the immense force shattered the phantom that was blocking his way.

In the realm of humanity, no one can stand in his way.

As the first phantom broke through, more phantoms followed, some with human bodies and snake tails, others covered in dense scales...

He only encountered his first obstacle when the Emperor's phantom appeared.

The Emperor at this time was completely different from the Emperor at Mount Tai; he was more reserved and his strength had reached a new level.

He waved his hand and scattered several array platforms, and combined these platforms with the two divine sources he had buried here as part of his future plans.

The blurry figure gradually became indistinct, and it became impossible to see anything clearly.

"Open it for me!"

Li Xuan roared, unleashing power several times stronger than before, his hair flying wildly as the power of laws surged forth.

The stream of light was dazzlingly bright for a moment, and finally broke through the Emperor's illusory image.

The light continued its advance, encountering many obstacles along the way, but they were all eventually shattered by the light.

At the very front, an ancient pagoda phantom appeared, identical to the phantom of the Desolate Pagoda. Around the pagoda stood a phantom figure enveloped in chaotic energy.

"Who is that?"

Hua She had heard that there was an even more distant era before the myths, which he had always thought was just a legend, but he never imagined that that era actually existed.

Even across endless years, the phantom gave him the feeling that the other party could crush him with a single glance.

"People of the chaotic ancient times!"

Lingbao Tianzun knew more, and what surprised him was not the other party's identity, but the other party's unfathomable strength.

Even a celestial being is no different from a clay chicken or a clay dog ​​in front of the other party.

The powerful backlash from the long river of time struck him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and his face to turn deathly pale in an instant.

"We can't take such risks anymore; that kind of area is too dangerous!"

Li Xuan circulated his profound internal energy to calm the surging energy within his body.

The phantom reached out and grabbed, grasping all the myriad paths of heaven and earth. Immediately afterward, a blurry rune emanated from his body and merged with all the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

A stream of light merged with everything above, eventually transforming into the phantom of a pagoda.

"The power of immortality!"

Although all of this was an illusion, Li Xuan benefited greatly from it.

Lingbao Tianzun's many doubts about immortality were immediately resolved, and his cultivation advanced further.

A stream of light flew out from Li Xuanmei's heart, merging with everything before, wanting to take it a step further.

This time, he felt that what was blocking his way was an insurmountable mountain, and even if he sacrificed everything, he would not be able to break through it.

The opponent's strength is too great; it's beyond the reach of humanity.

This time, the illusory image of the River of Time surged, unleashing a powerful backlash.

On Flying Immortal Star, all living beings sensed this terrifying killing intent.

This aura appeared suddenly, almost as strong as, or even surpassing, the imperial pressure.

The Serpent and the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation sensed this powerful killing intent and were filled with fear. If they were to face this terrifying killing intent, they might instantly perish.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xuan activated countless secret techniques, unleashing powerful blood energy, and pushing his own Dao and Dharma to their limits.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled at this moment, and the Flying Immortal Star, as the source of the collision, suffered damage far exceeding that of other parts of the universe.

Lingbao Tianzun planted the four swords of Zhuxian at the four poles of Feixian Star. The Zhuxian Formation Diagram trembled violently, and boundless magical power surged out. The secret of word formation was engraved on every inch of Feixian Star.

This is how Feixian Star was preserved from being destroyed.

……

After everything dissipated, both Huashe and the Heavenly Venerable of Annihilation were severely injured by the aftershocks, their powerful physical bodies appearing extremely fragile at this moment.

"What on earth did he provoke? Why did he attract such a powerful force?!"

At the center of the explosion, Li Xuan stood, his breathing slightly disordered, but the backlash had not left him with any serious damage.

Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise his survival would be uncertain. However, it was still a bit of a regret that he didn't get to witness the process of the Desolate Emperor becoming an immortal. Fortunately, he remembered the aura of the Desolate Tower, which would make the search much easier in the future.

"Are you alright?" Lingbao Tianzun asked.

Li Xuan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then looked towards the direction of the Immortal Well. Under the terrifying power of the previous explosion, the seal left on it was completely erased, revealing the world below.

At this moment, a tattered mountain of flesh flew out, its form unknown, encased in old tree bark.

A crystalline substance splashed out, resembling a celestial source, used to seal him.

Li Xuan grabbed the mountain of flesh, making it difficult for it to move forward.

A searing heat emanated from his palm, causing the mountain of flesh to crack open, revealing a crimson expanse where flames flickered. A vermilion bird's head emerged, its gaze fierce.

Then, the mountain of flesh gradually disintegrated, revealing a wolf's body covered with crimson scales, and a dragon's tail.

"This is definitely not a creature from the ancient times!"

"Fellow Daoist, from which era do you come?" asked the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana.

But in response he was a loud, long cry that pierced the heavens and was deafening.

An overwhelming aura swept across the land, unstoppable by anyone.

"Noisy!"

With a slap, the life force of that creature receded once more, returning to its ordinary state.

"To become an immortal, hehe... haha... I am the only one who reigns supreme!"

The creature let out a chilling laugh and completely lost consciousness.

Lingbao Tianzun used his divine sense to scan the person's entire body and found that the person had the same aura as the phantom he had seen earlier.

"Perhaps he has something he wants!"

A burst of divine sense erupted, penetrating deep into the other person's mind to observe their memories.

Lingbao Tianzun followed Li Xuan to explore the other's memories.

Fragments of memory flowed by, and events from the chaotic ancient era flew before their eyes.

There were phantom images of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths before they shattered, and powerful figures engaged in fierce battles whose forms were impossible to discern...

"Is this the Chaotic Ancient Era?" Lingbao Tianzun murmured.

The ancient history flashed before our eyes, leaving no one at peace.

As time slowly passed, Lingbao Tianzun gained a clearer understanding of that lost history.

"So it turns out that in the chaotic ancient era, those who attained enlightenment were called Supreme Beings, and there wasn't just one in each era," Lingbao Tianzun exclaimed in amazement.

He believed that most of the supreme beings of that era were inferior to the enlightened beings of today, and that only the top supreme beings among them could be compared to them.

As the investigation continued, Lingbao Tianzun's shock intensified, and his understanding of the path to immortality became clearer.

Finally, the two stopped and arrived at their destination.

"Is that the legendary Desolate Emperor?" asked Lingbao Tianzun.

There is a legend from the mythological era that before the endless ages passed, there was the most powerful force in the world called the Heavenly Court, and the ruler of the Heavenly Court was called the Desolate Emperor.

“It should be!” Li Xuanhe said.

A long-forgotten history unfolds before their eyes.

It was an incredibly young figure with flowing black hair, repeatedly asking where the Immortal Realm was.

The Desolate Emperor has explored several nodes, but none of them lead to the Immortal Realm.

Due to the war on the other side of the Boundary Sea, the Immortal Realm was also affected, making the outside world of the Immortal Realm no longer intact, and some special nodes appeared.

Some lucky beings found these special nodes, allowing them to successfully enter the Immortal Realm.

After exploring several nodes, the Desolate Emperor finally arrived at the Flying Immortal Star node.

This time, he found the node leading to the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, those beings who followed the Desolate Emperor made their move, intending to take his place and enter the Immortal Realm.

The Desolate Emperor responded instinctively. At that time, his physical body had already broken through the King realm, and he unleashed unparalleled power with every move he made.

Those beings who wanted to take his place and go to the Immortal Realm were trapped by him in the closest position to the Immortal Realm, but could never enter the Immortal Realm for their entire lives.

Murder and kill!
Then, under their watchful eyes, a massive portal appeared, with endless celestial light surging forth from that world and dense immortal matter flowing out from the Immortal Realm.

"Is this the Immortal Realm?" Lingbao Tianzun exclaimed in surprise.

This is the world that countless people want to go to, the end of immortality.

Through that enormous portal, everyone felt the vastness of that realm, including Lingbao Tianzun and Li Xuan.

Under their watchful eyes, the Desolate Emperor instinctively unleashed a powerful force, breaking open the massive portal.

The Desolate Emperor thus stormed into the Immortal Realm.

"Is this the Desolate Heavenly Emperor? His strength far surpasses that of a Supreme Being. Even an Immortal might not be able to resist him!" said the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable.

Li Xuan was equally shocked. He had heard of the Desolate Emperor's power, but now that he had actually seen him, he finally understood how terrifying he was.

When you are still in the human realm, you see him as the moon reflected in a well; but when you ascend to the immortal realm, you are like a mayfly gazing at the blue sky.

"So powerful!"

After a long silence, Li Xuan finally spoke.

"Can such beings truly be erased by the passage of time?" Lingbao Tianzun asked himself.

Even though he had witnessed the horrors of time, he still felt that such creatures would never perish in the passage of time.

After a long while, the two finally calmed down.

That level of attainment is too far beyond their reach. Only when they advance into the Immortal Realm will they be able to catch up with the other party's pace.

"This was a huge success!"

Facing the power of the immortal path directly will be of great help to their future cultivation.

Outside, seeing that the two remained motionless for a long time, Huashe and Jiemie Tianzun had a thought: perhaps they could deal with them here.

However, the previous collision made them hesitant to act, and they were unsure of what to do.

Finally, the snake gritted its teeth and made up its mind to make a move.

As soon as the snake got up, it felt a sharp light shooting towards it, and its body froze for a moment.

"Senior, would you believe me if I said I just wanted to stretch my body?" the snake said awkwardly.

“I was thinking of letting you live a little longer, but now it seems you’ve chosen to die, so I have no reason to keep you alive any longer,” Li Xuan said.

"And you, Venerable of Annihilation, don't think you can survive just because you didn't make a move."

Li Xuan's icy voice echoed in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), and the Silent Heavenly Venerable felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

After a long while, Lingbao Tianzun slowly opened his eyes, his expression returning to calm.
