Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 328 Clash with the Ancient Emperor
The puddles shimmering with crimson light constantly steamed with murderous intent, and the shocking blood light was reflected on the shattered mountains and rivers, spreading with the power to slay gods and destroy souls.

Qi Zhe sat cross-legged in these mountains and rivers. Not far in front of him was a pool of blood, in which was a piece of broken bone stained with blood.

"I've never seen such murderous intent in my entire life!"

Qi Zhe sat in front of the pool of blood, and even with the Taoist temple hanging above his head, he felt an excruciating pain between his eyebrows, which was no better than being pricked by a thousand needles.

This killing intent was simply too overwhelming. Not to mention a supreme artifact, even an imperial weapon could not protect one's body, and one could not stay there for long.

Within these mountains, there lies a single remaining handprint, where the killing intent is several times greater than here, and even Qi Zhe cannot approach it.

It was precisely this murderous intent that Qi Zhe desired; he wanted to use it to unleash his potential, otherwise how could he grow so rapidly?

However, the Taoist temple on his head could not fully temper him. He still needed to let go of all protection and use his own body to fight against the Emperor Corpse's killing intent.

In a flash, Qi Zhe summoned back the Taoist temple above his head and hid it in his altar, but the next moment he was attacked.

"laugh!"

Even though Qi Zhe possessed an unimaginable physique, he was still torn open by the blood pool in front of him and the killing intent permeating the world.

In an instant, blood gushed from Qi Zhe's body, and his body was covered with hideous wounds. There was even a murderous intent that began to invade the depths of his flesh.

If his soul hadn't been hidden in the Longevity Temple, it would have been torn apart by the killing intent and severely injured in an instant.

This is an indescribable terror; the Emperor Corpse's killing intent is no joke.

"Haha." But Qi Zhe couldn't help but burst into laughter. He could feel the potential that he couldn't usually mobilize boiling over after the killing intent entered his body.

This is an amazing discovery; there is still potential within his body, just hidden deep inside, waiting to be discovered.

"Boom!"

A booming sound echoed continuously within Qi Zhe's body. Qi Zhe's five secret realms were impacted by the killing intent of the Emperor Corpse, and at this moment, they were constantly emitting divine light.

A holy white light leaked from the tear in Qi Zhe's body, revealing astonishing fragments of the Great Dao within, while endless killing intent slipped in through the opening.

"To build myself amidst the killing intent!"

Qi Zhe shouted in the silence. At that moment, his body began to change. His flesh and bones melted and then turned into a crimson alchemy furnace.

At this moment, he merged with the Great Dao, embarking on the ultimate transformation of his flesh and blood, and began to devour the killing intent of the Emperor's corpse in this mountain and river, in order to hone a new self.

He possessed great perseverance, and his astonishing killing intent continuously left scars inside and outside the alchemy furnace, almost as severe as being cut a thousand times.

Even so, Qi Zhe did not give up. He repaired himself, and a great fire even ignited in the alchemy furnace, burning the flesh and bones that had been refined into ashes.

This process took a long time. When the Great Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had recovered half a month later, arrived, he only saw a pitch-black alchemy furnace standing quietly in front of a pool of blood.

However, he paid no heed to it, his aged face streaked with blood and tears as he rushed into the deepest part of this mountain range, even the Emperor's Sword resonated with him.

Half a month later, the other party left with the Taihuang Sword, and before leaving, he silently bowed to the alchemy furnace that Qi Zhe had transformed into.

Qi Zhe was nurturing a new self in the desolation, the pitch-black alchemy furnace resembling his old body, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

The terrifying killing intent could assault him a thousand times, but it could never truly destroy him; now it had even become the fuel for his advancement.

But Qi Zhe was also thinking that his body had undergone amazing tempering, making him much stronger in the five secret realms, but his soul had not.

"Not enough! The soul should be the same!" Qi Zhe spoke at this moment, his soul leaving the Taoist temple that had protected him for so long and heading towards the furnace.

"laugh!"

In just a moment, Qi Zhe felt a splitting headache, and even the evolving alchemy furnace almost couldn't be maintained and was about to collapse.

Sensing the changes, Qi Zhe endured the excruciating pain and forcibly stabilized himself, withstanding the killing intent within the alchemy furnace and avoiding failure. As Qi Zhe's soul was refined, he could sense that he was about to reach perfection. Although he was in unbearable pain, an unimaginable transformation was taking place.

An astonishing transformation swept over Qi Zhe, leaving him both surprised and delighted. For a moment, he ignored all the pain and even found some enjoyment in it.

This wait lasted for several months, during which time the alchemy furnace that Qi Zhe had transformed into continuously shed its black impurities and gradually became translucent.

Six months later, countless rays of light burst forth from the alchemy furnace, and the great Dao of Heaven and Earth resonated with Qi Zhe. Suddenly, sweet dew fell from the sky and clear springs gushed from the earth in this mountainous region.

"when!"

The alchemy furnace that Qi Zhe had transformed into suddenly shattered, and Qi Zhe, naked, reappeared, stomping his foot to crush the useless old body.

At this moment, Qi Zhe was surrounded by clear light, and his divine power surged like a vast ocean. Even the killing intent of the Emperor Corpse could not harm him for a while, and it was only after a moment that it caused him to bleed.

Qi Zhe underwent a transformation, which is extremely rare in the Great Sage realm; it can be said that few people can achieve this.

But Qi Zhe was not satisfied with this. He could feel that his cultivation was improving slowly, although it was much faster than before.

"That's not enough!" Qi Zhe's eyes lit up like two magic lamps, his gaze fixed on the pool of blood in front of him.

As always, the pool of blood, with its broken bones stained with blood, exuded a murderous aura, and the reflected blood light was terrifying.

At this moment, Qi Zhe's expression changed. He had some ideas, and the next moment he made his move, instantly changing the color of the sky and the clouds.

"Boom!"

The imperial blood in the pool rippled under Qi Zhe's intervention, and the astonishing imperial power was aroused, transforming into terrifying killing intent that shot straight into the sky.

But that's not what Qi Zhe wanted. He wanted to collect a bit of the Emperor's Blood from the Blood Pool to continue this thrilling ordeal.

"The Magic Jar!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe roared and leaped into the air. Countless runes appeared around him, and the next moment he transformed into a huge black magic jar.

At this moment, countless runes flashed, and an astonishing suction force emanated from the magic jar. With the help of the "Soldier" secret technique, Qi Zhe managed to extract six drops of imperial blood from the blood pool.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, the demon jar that Qi Zhe had transformed into swallowed six drops of imperial blood, but it was at this moment that an accident occurred, and Qi Zhe actually disintegrated in mid-air.

Although there were only six drops of imperial blood, the divine power it carried was terrifying, far beyond what Qi Zhe's physical body could suppress.

Terrifying divine power swept in all directions, but then reversed course and returned. Qi Zhe once again forcibly reassembled his body and roared:
"Taoist temple, I demand that you suppress me!"

"Okay!"

The deities of the Changsheng Taoist Temple were awakened at this moment. In an instant, they rushed out and controlled the temple to crash down, imprisoning Qi Zhe's body, which was about to collapse again.

"Is it worth it?" the deity of the Taoist temple asked in a low voice from mid-air, clearly somewhat shocked by Qi Zhe's determination at this moment.

It saw through Qi Zhe's actions and discovered that he wanted to use his own path to clash with the Emperor's path in order to advance his own cultivation, which can only be described as crazy.

But Qi Zhe did not answer. Under the suppression of the Taoist temple, he changed his form once again, transforming into a giant door glowing with blood.

These six drops of imperial blood dyed the portal crimson, emitting a terrifying blood-red light that became entangled with Qi Zhe's body and soul.

"It's worth it! I want to attain enlightenment and reach the pinnacle!"

Sigh, how can one rise up without hard work?
