Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 23 Bloodstained Mountains and Rivers

On the wall, which was shattered with countless cracks, a palm print was clearly visible. Although it was only of normal size, the information it conveyed was chilling.

The person who left this palm print must be an extraordinary figure, capable of shattering the Dao patterns of a Great Emperor; their cultivation level is simply unimaginable.

Qi Zhe stood there for a long time, unable to come to his senses, already guessing who had left the palm print.

"The Azure Emperor erected the Yin Tomb only ten thousand years ago, so no supreme being from the forbidden zone should have gone mad here. Perhaps the person who left the palm print is a powerful figure born within these ten thousand years."

Qi Zhe was already considering whether it was the work of that old man who had lived for so long. After all, if he were at his peak, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill his way to the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb. It was quite possible that he had given the Yin Tomb a blow in his despair.

While Qi Zhe was deep in thought, Duan De in the distance was rummaging through several corpses when a battle inexplicably broke out. If it weren't for his many tricks, he might have already been killed.

"Damn it, they're all evil corpses!" Duan De cursed as he destroyed the corpses. Finding nothing of value, he turned to Qi Zhe and was startled to see him deep in thought in the water.

"A discovery?!" Duan De exclaimed and rushed to Qi Zhe's side. He then saw the palm print on the wall and was immediately shocked.

The spiderweb-like palm print was truly astonishing, actually severing the Demon Emperor's Dao patterns. If this were to spread, it would surely be an earth-shattering event.

"Where did this ancestor come from?! He can even sever the Dao patterns of a Great Emperor?!" Duan De's round, chubby face was filled with shock as he murmured, "Are there really such people in this world?"

His words were filled with disbelief, leaving Qi Zhe, who had been lost in thought for a long time, somewhat puzzled. He couldn't help but turn to Duan De and say, "Perhaps there is, and that person might even still be alive."

Duan De was somewhat speechless. He was a man of the world, and at this moment, he had thought of many legends, and his mind was in a mess.

However, after a moment, Duan De's expression suddenly brightened, and he looked at the palm print and said inexplicably, "It is none of my business who left this palm print, but perhaps we can use it to enter this Yin Tomb!"

He had already begun to ponder how to open the Demon Emperor's Tomb through this small opening. His intuition told him that if he wanted to enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb, there was no other possibility but this opportunity.

Duan De's movements also stirred Qi Zhe's heart. He suddenly remembered that in the original timeline, Duan De had disturbed the killing intent in the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb, even causing the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb to bleed, thus triggering a world-shaking killing intent.

Even if five powerful beings joined forces to break into it, they would be powerless to penetrate deep into the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb. The various holy lands fought a chaotic battle here but gained nothing. Now, however, an opportunity to enter the tomb has appeared before the two of them.

"The cause and effect have reversed. Am I the one who changed all of this?" Qi Zhe's mind was racing, and many thoughts inexplicably came to mind.

Duan Deben had ventured deep into the Underworld many times, enduring hardships and dangers, and should have gained nothing. However, the two of them have now made some gains, witnessing secrets that have never been revealed to the world, and have had the opportunity to delve into the Underworld Tomb.

"Perhaps this change will not be the only one!" Qi Zhe knew that the changes he would cause in the future would not be limited to this one place, and that there might be more unknown changes happening before his eyes.

Now that things have come to this, Qi Zhe no longer cares about the changes that may occur in the future, after all, he is already the biggest variable in this life.

"What are you thinking about, kid? Aren't you going to lend a hand?!" Duan De had been circling the palm print since he had his idea, and he was very dissatisfied when Qi Zhe didn't move for a long time.

At this moment, Duan De had already taken out a piece of Xuanyu Platform and was continuously carving Dao patterns on it. He said, "I want to connect with the power of this Great Emperor's Dao patterns and make it bounce back onto this palm print. You'd better put in some effort, kid!"

Duan De had already noticed that although the palm print was full of cracks and seemed to be on the verge of collapse, as if a large hole could be punched with a little force, he was not the one who left the palm print, and no matter what he did, he could not break the cracks.

But this palm print is indeed the only weakness of the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb. Now he wants to manipulate the Demon Emperor's Dao patterns and use their strength against him to completely shatter the palm print. "You are truly audacious. If anything goes wrong, not only will the Eastern Wilderness be affected, but this primeval ruin will definitely be turned into a land of calamity. You and I will be the first to be affected and will probably be reduced to ashes!"

Qi Zhe was startled when he saw Duan De's actions and heard his words. He realized that this was a risky move. If it failed, the Demon Emperor's Dao Patterns would definitely have the power to destroy the world.

"Heh." Duan De scoffed at this, arrogantly saying, "How could there be any accidents when I, the Daoist, take action? Even if there were, I can guarantee your safety. Are you scared?"

Qi Zhe grinned upon hearing this. He couldn't believe a word Duan De said; he was afraid that Duan De's claim of being safe and sound was just a lie, and that he should pray for good fortune. He couldn't help but angrily say, "You'd better really be safe and sound!"

"Hehe." Duan De chuckled strangely upon hearing this, then handed the Xuan Jade Platform to Qi Zhe and said directly, "This Xuan Jade Platform has condensed a corner of the killing array. You will use it to activate the Great Emperor's Dao Patterns later!"

"I, Daoist, will use the power of the stars and the constellations to attack, and I swear I will enter this Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb!" Duan De's face was fierce. He was now determined to fight to the death for the Desolate Tower.

Qi Zhe looked somewhat uneasy. After receiving the Xuan Yu Platform, he remained silent and went straight to a place where the Dao patterns of the Demon Emperor were densely distributed, ready to see how Duan De would perform.

Seeing that Qi Zhe was already in position, Duan De's expression became serious as he planted hundreds of array flags near the palm print.

Then Duan De made a hand seal, causing hundreds of array flags to begin to glow faintly. He then shouted, "The opportunity may only last a moment. If we cannot enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb in time, we will surely die a miserable death in this water. You must be careful!"

Duan De ultimately lacked confidence and urged Qi Zhe to prepare early, his words carrying an unspeakable emotion. Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe's expression grew even more solemn.

"Why say so much? Let's go for it!" Qi Zhe shouted.

Upon hearing this, Duan De's expression tightened, and he immediately shouted, "Get ready! After activating the Great Emperor's Dao Patterns, rush towards that palm print and join me!"

Seeing this, Qi Zhe no longer hesitated. He threw the Xuanyu Platform near the Demon Emperor's Dao Pattern, and then flicked his hand to shoot out a golden sword aura that shattered the Xuanyu Platform.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, the shattered Xuan Yu Platform erupted with divine light and Dao power, directly triggering dozens of Demon Emperor Dao patterns, instantly spreading a deadly killing intent underwater, and a terrifying aura surged straight to the surface.

At this moment, the primitive ruins were shaking, and a shocking blood-red light enveloped tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The water of the Nether Pool shot straight into the sky, which greatly alarmed Ye Fan, who was squatting nearby.

"What is this?!" Ye Fan realized something was wrong and turned to run in the water, yelling, "Better you die than me! I'll burn paper money for you two next year on this day!"

Meanwhile, the five powerful beings who were still searching for the Desolate Tower were also shocked by this strange phenomenon. Before their eyes, the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles were stained with blood, and towering water columns rapidly submerged dozens of mountain peaks. It was clearly not an ordinary sight.

"That's a pool of the underworld! It's actually the true tomb of the Demon Emperor. Someone has secretly discovered everything and may have already entered it!"

"Truly a high level of skill! To discover a great secret so silently and without anyone noticing, you've probably already succeeded!"

I was planning to make up for the chapter I owe today, but something came up tonight, so I'll have to finish this chapter tomorrow.

And thank you for the monthly pass, brother! I've finally gotten a free pass!
