Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 221 Emperor's Tribulation?

The headless horseman was dressed in black iron armor, tall and majestic, with a black spear pinned to the ground beside him, and blood dripping from his severed head.

He possessed an aura that could subdue heaven and earth, his body shrouded in black demonic clouds, with towering black mountains behind him, enough to chill anyone to the bone at a glance.

He sat on a tall stone horse, which shook its head and swayed its tail amidst the black mountains, raising its head and neighing, shattering the void as if it were a heavenly dragon soaring through the sky.

It must be said that this was extremely astonishing. The aura carried by the headless knight spread into the void, causing waves to constantly rise and fall, like a surging tide.

"boom!"

The astonishing power of a quasi-emperor shook heaven and earth. Even the Changsheng Dao Temple was stimulated to generate endless Dao patterns, and the gods inside sensed the crisis.

"roll!!!"

In an instant, the deities in the Taoist temple roared, their furious cries shattering the void passage and causing the temple to fall out of the void.

Qi Zhe also left the void with the Taoist temple and fell into a wilderness. Even so, he could still sense that there were still eyes scanning behind him.

"Damn it!" Qi Zhe roared, feeling like he'd had the worst luck imaginable.

The headless knight from the depths of the Undying Mountain was very indifferent. The hand he extended possessed boundless divine power, and he was about to continue his attack.

"Just a weapon!"

A cold, indifferent voice echoed from the Undying Mountain, where the headless knight remained obstinate, his large hand continuing to reach towards Qi Zhe.

"Boom!"

A massive hand, clad in black iron armor, is about to emerge from the void, causing the entire world to tear apart, and even the Great Dao resonates with it.

He possessed boundless power; though he had lost his head, he was like a headless god, with the power to cover the sky with his bare hands.

"Does the Undying Mountain lineage truly intend to go its own way? Do they know that although the Void Emperor is gone, he still has a pact with the Supreme One!"

Qi Zhe was also enraged at this moment. The other party, being a creature from a forbidden zone, was attacking a small cultivator like him, which was truly bullying the weak.

Moreover, when the Void Emperor fought his whole life to quell the unrest in the Undying Mountain, he made a pact with the supreme being there: the Undying Mountain would not emerge until the path to immortality appeared.

Today, the fact that Qi Zhe actually attacked him made him feel that the other party had broken all the agreements they had made and that the Void Emperor was long gone.

Qi Zhe's words seemed to have an effect; the headless knight's large hand stopped for a moment, and only responded after a short while.

"You are not among them. The Celestial Venerable's successor is already in the Immortal Tomb. The human race has nothing to do with you anymore!"

"Now that our Emperor is about to awaken, what harm is there in taking your divine weapon for use!"

The headless horseman's voice came from the void to Qi Zhe's ears, and upon hearing it, he suddenly realized what had happened.

On the day he obtained the Longevity Cave, the Nine Li Map caused an anomaly in the Immortal Tomb, awakening the sleeping Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

Although he was fortunate enough to escape unscathed, many restricted areas may have sensed it on that day and understood the reasons behind it.

The creatures in the Undying Mountain therefore believed that he had pledged allegiance to the Immortal Tomb, and that his actions now were not a breach of the agreement, so there was no need to worry about any consequences.

Moreover, Qi Zhe suddenly realized the other party's purpose, knowing that the Stone Emperor, the Lord of the Undying Mountain, might be about to awaken, and the Headless Knight had been eyeing him for a long time.

It is important to understand that the eternal existence of a supreme being in a forbidden zone is not so easy. Even with a rare and precious source of immortality, one must sever one's own body to seal it.

But they were too powerful; even the seal of the immortal source could not stop the loss of their lives. They needed to constantly replenish their life energy to survive millions of years.

Although the Stone Emperor attained enlightenment during the ancient times, his life force had already depleted when he severed himself, and he had reappeared several times to cause chaos. Each chaos was extremely tragic, with billions of lives lost and mountains of corpses littering the earth. Only the lives of countless beings could keep him alive.

This supreme emperor in the stone has long been ruthless. In his madness, even imperial weapons become targets for him to draw life energy from, and he will not refuse any quasi-emperors or their weapons.

It should be known that a quasi-emperor's fate is worth billions of lives, and a divine weapon crafted by a Celestial Venerable is even stronger, enough to provide a small boost to a Supreme Being.

Qi Zhe was filled with disbelief, never expecting this, and had unwittingly become involved in the karma of the forbidden zone. In the end, he could only sigh:

"Preparations before the path to immortality?"

But Qi Zhe was unwilling to accept his fate at this moment. The next moment, he roared, "Fine, fine, my fate may be in the hands of heaven, but today it will not be in your hands!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe held nothing back, his entire body radiating immortal light. Although he was in the Changsheng Taoist Temple, he was about to trigger a world-shaking calamity.

His tribulation at the second level of Sendai might be insignificant to the Headless Horseman, but he was already fearless at the brink of death and was determined to have the Changsheng Temple undergo its tribulation as well.

The Longevity Temple is a divine weapon, cast entirely from divine bronze, and carries some of the laws of the imperial way. Once it attracts a heavenly tribulation, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If the heavenly tribulation were to truly descend, it would be comparable to the tribulation of becoming an emperor, if not comparable to the quasi-emperor tribulation of the ninth heaven; not even an entire star field would be enough to cleave it.

The revived Taoist deities, already in tune with Qi Zhe's thoughts, understood everything and couldn't help but sigh, "So be it!"

At this point, it couldn't escape; the headless horseman was watching it intently. Only by subduing the other could it escape, even if it meant triggering a catastrophe.

"boom!!!"

As the first thunderclap resounded across the heavens and earth, the headless horseman coldly observed everything, then said, "Ignorance is bliss!"

But a great change occurred the next moment. The Daoist runes of the Great Emperor appeared in patches on the Changsheng Temple, heading towards the light of the tribulation in the wilderness, as if they were about to collide.

"Today we'll all perish together, or worse, we'll charge into the Undying Mountain!" Qi Zhe roared, steer the Taoist temple toward the void rift.

In just a moment, the headless knight reacted, and even the quasi-emperor was shocked. The next moment, he suddenly withdrew his hand.

"Damn it!" The headless knight felt like he had seen a ghost. He had never encountered anything like this before, and he had never seen such a crazy person.

A divine weapon can never survive a tribulation after leaving its master, unless it encounters a prodigy who breaks through and triggers the tribulation itself.

The majesty of the Heavenly Tribulation is never to be offended. The Heavenly Tribulation will descend according to the level of one's cultivation and strength. When offended by an Emperor Weapon, even the Emperor Tribulation can be descended.

Today, a mere cultivator at the second level of the Sendai realm actually dared to invite a quasi-emperor calamity with a doomed mentality, forcing him to retreat.

It has to be said that this is too outrageous. No one in all of history has dared to do it, let alone that he actually wants to rush into the forbidden zone. All of this is too shocking.

The headless knight knew that if this happened, the prestige of the forbidden zone would be completely destroyed.

Qi Zhe, however, was quite pleased. He watched the headless knight flee with great satisfaction and said proudly, "But I know and yet I am fearless; this is courage!"

Qi Zhe stood proudly, and as the headless knight retreated, he rushed out of the Changsheng Taoist Temple and began to face the heavenly tribulation in the wilderness.

"Boom!"

Under a clear blue sky, an endless sea of ​​lightning descended, and even the outer void began to crackle with electricity. An awe-inspiring aura overwhelmed the entire Big Dipper.

"Although it broke quickly, it still got struck by lightning!" Qi Zhe was horrified, knowing that the Changsheng Taoist Temple had still caused a karmic entanglement and he would have to endure a few blows.

"Is this... someone about to become an emperor?" Countless cultivators across the entire Beidou Ancient Star looked up at the sky, only to see endless lightning from beyond the realm, covering the boundless heavens.
