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

Chapter 89 The Path to Immortality Reopens
Xue Yueqing felt the rich laws of heaven and earth here, and her mind was inevitably shaken.

However, his obsession made him quickly forget all of this, and he strode into the depths.

The heavens, this supreme forbidden land renowned since time immemorial.

Only when you actually enter this place will you discover its extraordinary and mysterious nature.

"Heavenly Emperor, this junior, Xue Yueqing, requests an audience!" The Demon Emperor's enormous voice resounded throughout the heavens.

When he sensed the presence of the person who had arrived, a feeling of familiarity welled up in his heart.

"You are the senior who created the method of evolution back then, so why is your aura completely different now?" Xue Yueqing asked in confusion.

Years ago, while training on an ancient demon star, he and a young girl accidentally stumbled into the secluded cave of a dragon-transformation cultivator.

The dragon-transformation cultivator had long since perished, and beside him was a rudimentary method for studying evolution.

The essence of spiritual practice is the evolution of one's life level.

The method pioneered by that senior dragon cultivator pointed out a direction for Xue Yueqing's future, and he used it as a basis for his subsequent deductions.

Xue Yueqing truly lived up to his reputation as a person with extraordinary luck; he began cultivating in the Dao Palace Secret Realm before the path of a Dragon Transformation cultivator could even be completed.

The girl who was with him encountered great difficulties in cultivating this method, and almost perished when she broke through to the fourth level.

After Xue Yueqing, he made great strides forward, rising to prominence from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. When he reached the first level of the Immortal Platform, he was already invincible among the younger generation of the Ancient Demon Star.

“An exception in the mortal world has created a demon emperor who looks down upon all ages,” Li Xuan remarked.

That dragon-transformation cultivator was the only one in his countless lifetimes of mortal existence to embark on the path of cultivation. Unfortunately, spiritual energy was depleted in that era, and reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm was the pinnacle of that lifetime.

He later deduced that method of evolution, and it could only be practiced by those with great fortune and perseverance.

By a twist of fate, a demon emperor was born.

"Senior, could you tell me if she is still alive?" This is Xue Yueqing's most pressing question right now.

"Don't worry, she hasn't perished yet," Li Xuan said slowly.

Upon hearing that she had not yet perished, Xue Yueqing's face lit up with joy.

Immediately afterwards, a divine source appeared, within which was sealed a delicate-looking girl, and within it surged the aura of life.

“After you left, she disregarded her own health and forcibly cultivated the techniques you left behind, but this also depleted her life force. Now, once she leaves the Divine Source, she only has ten years left to live,” Li Xuan said slowly.

Xueyue Qing's expression was complex, showing joy but mostly worry.

Then something occurred to him, and he said, "If I take her into the Immortal Realm, could I help her achieve immortality?"

"That realm should be possible."

Xue Yueqing's face lit up with joy, and she secretly vowed that even if she died, she would lead her into the Immortal Realm.

"May I ask, senior, have you already become an immortal?" Xue Yueqing asked.

This is the question that people are most curious about: whether this Heavenly Emperor, who has existed for so long, has become an immortal.

"Immortality does not necessarily mean becoming an immortal, but an immortal is certainly immortal. I am on my way now, and I am not far from that realm."

Li Xuan did not hide anything and shared the method of immortality and the path ahead with him. As for how far he could go, it all depended on himself.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Heavenly Emperor." Xue Yueqing bowed.

His visit to the Heavenly Court enlightened him and gave him a new understanding of the path ahead.

Before leaving, Xue Yueqing proposed to fight the Heavenly Emperor.

As expected, Xueyue Qing was utterly defeated in less than ten moves.

……

A century has passed, and an overwhelming pressure erupted on the ancient demon star, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

The Demon Emperor completely solidified his Dao Fruit, and his strength reached the peak of his life.

He was already at the pinnacle of his time, but when he saw her sealed within the divine source, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

"Just wait and see, I will surely shower you with all the glory in the world."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, he has completed his first life.

"The path to immortality will open, and it will be in the not-too-distant future."

Xue Yueqing did not expect this day to come so quickly. Perhaps he would be able to enter the Immortal Realm without a long wait.

Knowing that the path to immortality would soon open, Xue Yueqing fell into a frenzy of cultivation, trying her best to improve her strength.

……

In the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan had clearly noticed all of this.

When the path to immortality opened last time, his strength was insufficient. Now that it has opened again, he wants to go and see.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and Xueyue Qing's lifespan in this lifetime came to an end.

Now his hair is completely white, and his strength is no longer what it used to be. Even though he tries his best to stop it from happening, it has no effect.

Everything that was destined to happen still happened, and even someone as powerful as an emperor was powerless to change it.

"Could my calculations be wrong?" Xue Yueqing was now confused.

He thought of her, sealed within the divine source, and the unwillingness in his heart made him continue to live.

On this day, in a mystical place, beams of immortal light flew out, resonating with countless other lights, and the aura of immortals surged towards the heavens and the earth.

The power of the Great Dao flows and sweeps across the nine heavens and ten earths.

A terrifying power flowed between heaven and earth, and all living beings in the universe noticed all these changes.

"This is the path to immortality!"

Some creatures exclaimed in surprise that less than a million years had passed and the path to immortality was about to open again.

Celestial light danced in the sky, and the power of the immortals fell upon the universe. Many living beings absorbed the power of the immortals, and their lifespans were extended considerably.

"The path to immortality... I never imagined it would open in this lifetime," some members of the ancient royal family said unwillingly.

All the plans left by our ancestors regarding the path to immortality seemed incredibly rushed at this moment.

"Did we just miss out like this?"

Countless ancient races were unwilling to accept this, but they were powerless to change anything.

Li Xuan gazed at the path to immortality, his eyes flashing with brilliance. With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Spirits Banner appeared in his grasp, his imperial aura surging forth.

"The Undying Emperor!" Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said.

He never expected that the immortal emperor, who had disappeared for so long, would appear on the path to immortality.

Although the aura there was very faint, he was still able to lock onto the other party's aura immediately.

"This time, I will make you perish completely on the path to immortality," Li Xuan said resolutely.

Several days passed, and the path to immortality was completely stabilized.

During this period, many powerful individuals went to the Path to Immortality, attempting to ascend to immortality in one leap. However, before they even got close to the Path to Immortality, they were obliterated by the overwhelming killing intent there.

Only the ancient emperors and celestial beings are qualified to embark on this path to immortality.

An ancient demon star unleashed a soaring aura.

The Demon Emperor made up his mind; even knowing the outcome, he was determined to take the plunge.

Go ahead and explore with confidence.

A voice echoed in his mind, strengthening his resolve to embark on the path to immortality. A boundless imperial might erupted, sweeping across the heavens and earth, and a figure clad in pristine white robes soared into the sky, charging towards the path to immortality that appears only once in countless ages.

A figure dressed in white, as pure as snow, stood between heaven and earth. Even in his later years, his strength remained formidable and terrifying, making him invincible in the world.

"The Demon Emperor is going to embark on the path to immortality!"

This news spread rapidly throughout the heavens and earth, attracting the attention of countless powerful figures.

Outside the path to immortality, runes danced in the air, while within them, terrifying powers blocked all living beings that wished to enter that realm.

"So what if it's the path to immortality? I'm going, and who can stop me?"

As the Demon Emperor's Ruler swung down, bursts of world-destroying immortal light erupted, shattering the ancient heavens and earth and breaking through the obstacles outside the path to immortality.

Now in his twilight years, his terrifying strength gives people the illusion that he can successfully break through.

A figure in white robes, wielding the Demon Emperor's Ruler, unleashed terrifying power and stormed in with unparalleled might.

"Is this the Demon Emperor? Throughout the ages, there are probably very few beings who can compare with him."

Many beings were amazed by the Demon Emperor's strength, and at this moment they believed that this ancient Demon Emperor could really break through.

Inside the path to immortality, a rain of light danced in the sky, and all that could be seen along the way were broken bodies, all of which were former sages who had failed in their attempts to enter the immortal realm.

The Demon Emperor pressed forward, his Demon Emperor Ruler unleashing boundless power to suppress all realms.

From that realm, beams of world-destroying immortal light surged forth, shattering the universe in an attempt to keep him outside.

The Demon Emperor was completely unprepared for all of this, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light, piercing through everything.

The Demon Emperor Ruler revived on its own, resisting the obstruction from the Immortal Realm.

He was too powerful. Even though he was now in his later years and his strength was no longer at its peak, he was still unimpeded on the path to immortality.

"Not bad, you're qualified to be my food." A chilling voice echoed along the path to immortality.

Upon hearing this, even the mighty Demon Emperor paled.

Outside, the entrance to the Path to Immortality is completely closed.

All these changes shocked the world. The Demon Emperor had only been inside for a short while, yet such a change had occurred. No one could remain calm at this moment.

Inside the Path to Immortality, two supreme figures confronted each other.

"Immortal Emperor, are you going to stop me from becoming an immortal?" the Demon Emperor roared angrily.

"So what if it is? The entrance is completely sealed. There is only one outcome here today: your demise," the Undying Emperor said coldly.

The Demon Emperor now understood why there were so many withered bones on the path to immortality; most of them had perished at the hands of the Undying Emperor, becoming nourishment for his transformation.

Whether or not you can keep me here is not up to you!

The Demon Emperor, wielding the Demon Emperor Ruler, unleashed boundless power as he attacked the Undying Emperor.

The Azure Gold Immortal Ruler shone with dazzling light, tearing apart the heavens and earth, slaying gods and immortals, and shattering everything in its path.

The Undying Emperor said nothing, but simply waved his hand to block the Demon Emperor's fierce attack.

Xue Yueqing's expression changed; he realized he had underestimated the strength of the person before him.

Even at his peak, he might not be a match for the person in front of him.

However, he did not back down. He held the Demon Emperor Ruler in one hand and made a hand seal with the other, drawing in all the myriad paths of the universe to bombard the Undying Emperor.

An ancient, mighty force erupted between the two, tearing apart the void.

Even though the Demon Emperor made a powerful move, the result did not change significantly. The gap between the two was too great to be counted.

"Am I destined to perish here today?" the Demon Emperor asked unwillingly.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared, reaching out a hand to block the Undying Emperor.

"The Undying Emperor, it's time to settle the score!" Li Xuan said coldly.

"You're not dead yet!" the Immortal Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

He instantly regained his composure, gripped the Undying Heavenly Blade, and charged towards Li Xuan.

The moment the two clashed, the Undying Emperor paled. He hadn't expected that in just a few hundred thousand years, his opponent would already be on par with him.

The Undying Heavenly Blade unleashed five-colored heavenly light, and together with the Undying Heavenly Emperor, its powerful force nearly tore apart the path to immortality.

Li Xuan waved the Myriad Spirits Banner, and illusory images of insects, fish, birds, beasts, and all living beings appeared to fight against the Undying Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged hundreds of blows.

He spontaneously released his blood energy, staining the path to immortality red and turning it into his battlefield.

The Undying Emperor fought against it, but compared to hundreds of thousands of years ago, everything had changed drastically. The opponent was no longer the holy body that could be manipulated at will.

Li Xuan fought with increasing ferocity, his boundless blood energy permeating the path to immortality.

Then, Li Xuan took out the Azure Sword and pressed it down on the opponent along with the Myriad Spirits Banner. The two supreme imperial weapons pressed down on the Undying Heavenly Blade. Li Xuan punched down, and the Undying Emperor could not dodge in time. His physical body was blown apart, and five-colored blood was scattered on the path to immortality.

"Undying Emperor, in my eyes you are nothing but trash now!"

Li Xuan channeled his magical power, and a terrifying killing intent enveloped every inch of the Path to Immortality. He intended to kill the Undying Emperor right here.

As he prepared to launch his final attack, the Path to Immortality trembled violently.

The previous clash was too powerful. If it were in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, it would probably have been reduced to ruins long ago. Even on the Path to Immortality, it still couldn't withstand the attacks of the two.

"Walk."

Li Xuan took the Demon Emperor into the Chaos World, activated the Xingzi Secret Technique to its limit, and left the path to immortality.

An apocalyptic killing intent pervades every inch of the land. If someone were to become an immortal here, they would be instantly obliterated by this killing intent.

Li Xuan threw a punch, and the powerful force tore through the space in front of him, creating a path to survival.

What happened there?

Many beings noticed the changes on the path to immortality, and just moments later, a supreme figure flew out from it.

Shortly thereafter, the space shattered into pieces, and the path to immortality vanished.

In the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor stabilized his injuries, but could not hide the regret in his heart.

"Sigh, if we miss this chance, who knows when we'll get another one."

Li Xuan didn't speak, but instead handed him a cup of enlightenment tea.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Death is not necessarily a loss of life. Since you have already embarked on the path to immortality, you must have already gained some insights."

The immortal laws along the path to immortality were of great help to the Demon Emperor in his later years.

Moreover, the Demon Emperor's previous clash with the Undying Emperor also confirmed some of his own beliefs.

"Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly Emperor. If I fail in my third life, please bring her to the Immortal Realm on my behalf," the Demon Emperor instructed.

A year has passed, and the Demon Emperor's condition has not changed at all; his life force is still fading away.

"The Three Incarnations are indeed not that simple!" the Demon Emperor sighed.

He wasn't too resentful about the outcome; as his life came to an end, his mind was unusually calm.

Five years passed, and the Demon Emperor opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light.

Immediately afterwards, changes began to occur in his Sendai Secret Realm, and the essence of immortality was ignited, beginning to radiate endless vitality.

All paths resonated in harmony, and a powerful force erupted from within the Sendai.
