Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 229 Seeing the Buddha
The Qinling Mountains, rarely visited by humans, are full of wonders, and this valley is no exception. It is not only covered by thick fog, but also has clear streams flowing slowly through it.

Hua Yunfei now stands by the stream, dressed in blue yet still elegant, graceful and ethereal like a banished immortal, handsome and unrestrained, leaving people in awe.

Beside him was a cold, aloof woman with indifferent eyes. She wore a long gray dress and, though beautiful, possessed an unsettling air about her.

Both of them are now very wary of Qi Zhe. They are being hunted down by many forces in the Eastern Wilderness and have a unique obsession with surviving.

Qi Zhe didn't rush to answer. He glanced at Li Xiaoman with interest and then said, "No rush."

Qi Zhe knew that the purge of the Ruthless lineage couldn't be rushed. He knew that an ancient sage had defected from the Yao Guang lineage, and that there were also extraordinary talents still alive in the Ruthless lineage.

Without the combat power of a sage, one cannot truly wipe out the enemy; one can only wait to continue breaking through and destroy them in the future.

Hua Yunfei is now on a different level from him. After Qi Zhe went against the current, he is no longer the same as before. Dragon Transformation cultivators are no longer in his eyes.

Qi Zhe's answer left Hua Yunfei speechless. He could sense the other party's cultivation level and had also heard about the great commotion in the Eastern Wilderness.

“When we parted ways back then, Yunfei never imagined things would turn out this way. I suppose you saw my future back then,” Hua Yunfei sighed.

He recalled his meeting with Qi Zhe a long time ago, when Qi Zhe let him go, saying that he was just a caged bird and even escaping was a luxury.

Now everything has come to pass. Although he escaped the Eastern Wilderness, he is still bound by shackles and cannot break free no matter what.

Qi Zhe ignored Hua Yunfei's sigh and turned his gaze to Li Xiaoman. After a long while, he revealed a strange smile.

"Something doesn't seem right!" Qi Zhe muttered softly, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt. He could sense something unusual about the other person.

Li Xiaoman was a woman who was difficult to understand. Arrogance and aloofness were her true nature. She always treated those around her with indifference, to the point that no one noticed she was being parasitized.

Now that her soul has been taken over by the Crocodile Ancestor, not to mention Ye Fan, even Hua Yunfei, who has been with her, and Qi Zhe dare to assert that they don't know.

But Qi Zhe sensed another aura at this moment. Li Xiaoman not only had the aura of a great demon, but also the scent of an evil spirit.

This made Qi Zhe suspect that she was connected to the divine consciousness of that Great Accomplished Holy Body. Just thinking about it made him feel a chill and he wanted to test her.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" As if sensing Qi Zhe's thoughts, Li Xiaoman's expression suddenly changed, and she decided to make her move almost instantly.

Countless strange runes flickered around her, and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle from the Devouring Heaven Demon Art appeared in an instant, with three thousand six hundred strange dark lights striking towards Qi Zhe.

"Junior Sister Xiaoman?!" Hua Yunfei exclaimed in surprise, caught off guard. He could only fly to the side, disappearing into the distance like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan.

However, he knew that Qi Zhe was now a powerful figure, and although Li Xiaoman had amazing talent in cultivation, she only had the cultivation level of the fourth stage of the Dragon Transformation. At this time, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Qi Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "Really interesting? Do you really think you're still that Demon Saint?"

Qi Zhe knew that Li Xiaoman would never have attacked him on her own initiative; it must have been a wisp of Crocodile Ancestor's primordial spirit secretly manipulating things.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe stretched out a large hand, suppressing it without causing a ripple. He was confident that he could suppress even the soul of a demon saint.

Qi Zhe cleaved the sky with one hand, and with a flick of his palm, he dispersed the clouds, covering hundreds of feet of heaven and earth. Even the chaotic energy surged beneath his palm.

Li Xiaoman's most powerful attack dissipated like smoke, unable to even reach Qi Zhe. The Great Dao Treasure Bottle disintegrated under Qi Zhe's palm.

Even Hua Yunfei was somewhat breathless at this moment. He was stunned when he saw Qi Zhe make his move. After a moment, he shouted, "Brother Qi, please calm down!"

He desperately wanted to rescue Li Xiaoman from Qi Zhe's grasp, but he was powerless to do so. The power of such a formidable figure was beyond his control, especially since this person was Qi Zhe. "This is outrageous!"

But the next moment, Li Xiaoman shocked him. She opened her mouth and let out a long howl, and countless golden vortexes began to appear around her.

These golden vortexes emitted an astonishing light, carrying an extremely powerful aura of holiness, and even contained the phantom image of a Buddha sitting cross-legged.

"Moo!"

It seemed as if countless chanting voices were emanating from the golden vortex, as if the endless Buddhas of the ancient heavens had appeared in the world, and Li Xiaoman was using an astonishing Buddhist technique.

This chant was far beyond what a cultivator who had transformed into a dragon could produce, and the golden light that filled the sky also revealed a terrifying power, making it impossible for Qi Zhe's large hand to land.

Many evil creatures lurking in the surrounding area were startled and began to scramble underground, causing countless cracks to appear on the ground and the distant mountains to shake.

"Chucky!"

An ancient corpse crawled out from underground, looking at Qi Zhe who was exuding an astonishing aura in the distance with some horror, and exclaimed in shock, "Where did this cultivator come from!"

Faced with Li Xiaoman's resistance, Qi Zhe wore a playful expression, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled, saying, "You don't understand, I'm not angry."

At that moment, Qi Zhe suddenly withdrew his large hand, and his true form began to move, stepping through the void and pressing forward, his hands behind his back like those of a god.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, countless vortexes also floated around Qi Zhe, and ancient powerful beings with marks manifested one after another, while thousands of divine and demonic phantoms gradually merged with him.

In an instant, the heavens and earth began to tremble. The high mountains thousands of miles away from Qi Zhe were rapidly collapsing, and countless creatures in the Qinling Mountains nearby were trembling.

Qi Zhe was like a god, a tangible embodiment of the Dao, a human-shaped Great Dao pressing forward. Even powerful beings would be horrified at this moment.

This imposing aura put immense pressure on Hua Yunfei, and the same was true for the Crocodile Ancestor who possessed Li Xiaoman; at this moment, his face was filled with resentment.

He was a true Great Sage of the Demon Clan. If he hadn't been suppressed and had lost too much of his cultivation, even a mere wisp of his spirit would have been beyond the reach of most powerful beings.

But he knew he couldn't stop Qi Zhe's overwhelming power at this moment. With just one strike, Qi Zhe could reduce the person he was possessing to ashes.

He only hated that the object he was currently parasitizing was too weak, to the point that he had to suffer such a great humiliation.

"Don't be too smug, you'll regret this one day!" Crocodile Ancestor controlled Li Xiaoman and roared, then began to use his methods to escape from here.

Golden light began to shimmer across the sky, and the vortex around Li Xiaoman grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a golden sun.

"Chucky!"

It was as if the void was shattering. The Crocodile Ancestor's soul, carrying Li Xiaoman and Hua Yunfei, transformed into a stream of light and rushed into the void, escaping from this place in a moment.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe had no choice but to unleash his final attack, punching into the void and shattering a mountain tens of thousands of miles away, leaving behind a shocking pool of blood.

"You got away." Qi Zhe was a little frustrated. Crocodile Ancestor was indeed powerful, which amazed him. He was surprised that he hadn't been able to catch the other party.

As Qi Zhe withdrew, many evil creatures within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were frightened away, and many ancient corpses with green skin dressed in old robes scattered in all directions.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe reached out and grabbed the nearest ancient corpse, slamming it to the ground with his palm, and demanded, "Do you think you can escape?"
