In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

At the forefront was a middle-aged man with thick, blue hair that hung down, from which stood a pair of pale white dragon horns that shone brightly. He wore lapis lazuli armor and looked angrily at the five sun-like orbs in the sky.

"I want to see just how capable the person who insulted my demon princess really is!"

It was him! They didn't say he would appear in the Demon Emperor's Tomb arc.

Chapter Seventeen: Azure Dragon King, you shouldn't have come!

A supreme expert, the fourth greatest bandit in the Northern Region, the Azure Dragon King.

This is an existence that stands alongside the Peacock King and the Golden-Winged Roc King, the strongest being in the demon race on the surface.

A powerful figure on par with the heads of the Ji and Jiang families and the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

It's important to know that, aside from the factor of the Great Emperor's Ancient Weapon, these individuals have cultivated the Emperor's Scripture and the Forbidden Chapter, and have been nurtured by their families with all their resources since childhood.

This clearly demonstrates the terror of powerful demons like the Azure Dragon King.

But the Azure Dragon King doesn't appear here in the original story! Did you wander onto the wrong set?

Perhaps they got lost? They're all elderly people, prone to dementia, so getting lost is normal.

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family looked like a young man, dressed in a gray robe, with jet-black hair and beard. Every strand of hair was carefully combed back and tied with a black rope, which was marked with Dao patterns, presumably also a treasure.

"Azure Dragon King, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the Azure Dragon King appear, the Ji family elder's expression changed drastically. His once calm eyes lost their composure, and a look of disbelief and horror flashed across them.

Not only him, but also the Jiang family, the powerful figures of Yaoguang, and two others whose true nature Lu Yao had not yet discerned, were all unable to remain calm.

Even those from the Yaochi Holy Land who were merely observing the battle and had never made a move had their divine light flash for a moment, clearly unable to believe that the Azure Dragon King would become the protector of the Azure Emperor's descendant.

After all, the Azure Dragon King once dominated the Eastern Wilderness, and few could rival him. He has not appeared before the world for many years.

"Back when I roamed the Eastern Wilderness and clashed with you Holy Lords, you were just a bunch of minor cultivators in the Sea of ​​Wheels and Dao Palaces. Now you dare to make a move in front of me?"

The Azure Dragon King's voice was majestic and domineering. The dragon horns on his forehead were crystal clear, with faint dragon-shaped Dao patterns emerging. His gaze swept across the sky, where no one was, carrying an indifference that looked down on his juniors and a hint of undisguised mockery.

"If you're going to make a move, do it quickly. I still need to take Princess Yan back to the Northern Region."

Since the group hadn't spoken in secret, and the cultivators had good ears, everyone learned about the Azure Dragon King's background.

Lu Yao naturally knew about the Azure Dragon King. He had been cultivating in the Yao Guang realm for more than half a year, not only improving his cultivation level, but also learning about some secrets of the Eastern Wilderness and the ancient star of the Big Dipper.

"The Azure Dragon King's cultivation has reached the peak of Immortal Level Two. As long as he passes the Dao-Severing Barrier, he can become a King. Without an Emperor Weapon, even a Saint cannot reveal himself. The King will be the number one person in the Eastern Wilderness now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan let out a long sigh: "King, the number one person in the Eastern Wilderness, Brother Lü, can we reach that level?"

"Of course you can, Little Yezi. Don't underestimate yourself. You have the potential to become an emperor. The Dao-Slaying Technique can trap the Azure Dragon King and many other Holy Lords, but it definitely can't trap you. It's just a matter of time."

Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "But I can't even gather enough resources for cultivation. I heard from the Lingxu Sect Master that the source required to enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm is astronomical, enough to bring down a holy land."

It's impossible to bring down a holy land. The foundation of a holy land spanning tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years cannot be brought down by ten million catties of source. It's just that most people think it's not worth it.

Not only does it require a large investment of resources, but it also requires the essence and blood of a saint or even a saint king to cleanse the curse on its body and withstand a wave of suppression from the Dao diagram.

This is something no holy site would want.

Jiang Taixu placed his bet to repay Ye Fan for saving his life, and because Ye Fan was about to undergo a transformation and sever his divine body's origins, and because Ye Fan appeared to be extremely upright, Jiang Taixu hoped that Ye Fan would protect the Jiang family and the human race after he achieved great success.

“Hmm…” Lu Yao pretended to be profound: “I have heard that there is a supreme lineage in the Northern Region called the Source Celestial Master. It can cut stones to obtain treasures and explore the dragon energy of mountains. If you can find it, it can solve your predicament.”

Ye Fan was overjoyed: "Really?"

"It's true. I've heard that the highest achievement in the Source Technique lineage, the Source Celestial Master, can see anything inside a stone, whether it's divine source, immortal gold, or elixir of immortality, he can cut it out."

The Yuan Celestial Master is roughly equivalent to a sage, only with a higher status; above him is the Yuan Emperor.

The only Origin Emperor in the Heavenly Court of Emperors should be Duan De in one of his reincarnations, right?

Where is Duan De? Lü Yao glanced around, but couldn't see the fat Taoist priest in such a lively place.

Could they be up to something at the Green Emperor's Yin Tomb?

Could we really let him into the place where the Azure Emperor placed the Desolate Tower?

Originally, Duan De didn't go in, but originally, the scene of the Azure Dragon King fighting against the five powerful beings wouldn't have happened here!

"I have been in seclusion in the northern marshes for many years, detached from worldly affairs. However, upon hearing that my demon princess was being bullied by humans, and that even the weapons and heart of my ancestor, the Azure Emperor, were being coveted, I had no choice but to emerge from seclusion. There is no need for further words. Make your move. Defeat me, and you will naturally obtain what you desire."

As soon as the Azure Dragon King finished speaking, his whole body radiated a pale blue light, every inch of his flesh glowed, and the dragon horns on his forehead emitted a blue light. The figure of an azure dragon appeared faintly behind him. Its roar was faint at first, but later it became as loud as a bell, which could be heard for thousands of miles around.

"The Azure Dragon King is not a real dragon, but a dragon that has evolved to its current form."

Lu Yao explained to Ye Fan, while pulling him back another eight thousand miles. Now that the two of them are so far away from the battlefield, shouldn't that be enough?

The five great beings in the heavens shone like the sun, making even the real sun and moon pale in comparison.

Ji Jia Taishang transmitted his voice to the other four people: "You four stop the Azure Dragon King, and I will use the Great Void Technique to capture that girl directly. Once we obtain the Azure Lotus and the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, we will have the upper hand. I suppose he will not make things difficult for the five families because of the established facts."

Ordinary people would naturally be like this, fearing the power of ancient families and holy lands, and dreading the terror of imperial weapons, but the Azure Dragon King was not like that.

As the fourth largest bandit in the Northern Region, it was common for him to plunder various families in the past, but now that he is old, he no longer takes action personally.

The five instantly reached an agreement and prepared to take action.

The Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land was enveloped in a layer of holy light, and at the same time, one hundred and eight divine halos appeared behind him, blazing and dazzling. He clasped his hands together, and the holy light behind him condensed into a dazzling pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, and slammed it fiercely towards the Azure Dragon King.

The other three also unleashed their own methods. The Supreme Elder of the Jiang family summoned a replica of the Hengyu Furnace, from which endless Dao Fire surged forth. The temperature was terrifyingly high, turning half the sky crimson, and it fiercely suppressed the Azure Dragon King.

A long silver sword slashed down, its blade flashing like the most beautiful sight in the universe.

A small tower floated in the sky, its body engraved with mystical Dao patterns. A suppressive force pressed down on the Azure Dragon King silently.

The Azure Dragon King laughed heartily, unleashing a burst of azure light. Dozens, even hundreds, of divine rays, condensed to their extreme, shot out, each seemingly a miniature azure dragon. Some rushed toward the four secret techniques, while a small portion, as if imbued with life, nimbly weaved through the turbulent energy currents, attacking the five people in the sky.

At the same time, he leaped into the air and transformed into a blue dragon, a thousand feet long, and charged towards the five people.

The four members of the Jiang family used their respective methods to block the attack, but the Ji family elder remained unmoved. When he saw the divine light coming, he disappeared into the void and reappeared only a few dozen meters away from Yan Ruyu.

Then, with a casual gesture, he delivered a powerful slap.

"How dare you! I will kill every member of your Ji family!" The Azure Dragon King, upon witnessing this scene, was filled with rage, his roars like a dragon's howl and a snake's cry.

But the old matriarch of the Ji family paid no attention. The four great powers in the heavens used their own methods to keep the Azure Dragon King from returning.

"It's quite a scene; the entire Yan Kingdom is in complete chaos." Lu Yao was engrossed in watching, planning to leave with Xiao Yezi after he finished, to find a place to cultivate and comprehend the Daoist scriptures and the Taihuang scriptures.

But then his expression changed: "Don't come any closer, I'll fucking stop you!"

Pulling Ye Fan along, they transformed into a streak of rainbow light and sped backward, risking their lives. Their sea of ​​consciousness roared, and their life spring gushed forth with vital energy.

Chapter Eighteen: The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms Comes from the Bitter Cold

Lu Yao was enjoying the show when the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart suddenly came after him and Ye Fan.

This thing is too hot to touch; it's not something his small body can handle.

The palm strike from the Supreme Elder of the Ji family was naturally beyond the ability of the demon race members in front of Yan Ruyu, whose highest level was no more than the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

But the woman with golden wings, the strong young man, and the burly man with scales on his arms disregarded their own lives and bravely charged forward to shield the demon princess from a fatal blow.

I only hope to delay him for a moment, so that the Azure Dragon King can return.

Upon discovering this scene, the Azure Dragon King unleashed a torrent of killing intent, striking with all his might. The four men staggered, blood gushing from their mouths and noses. Then, in a flash, he charged toward the Ji family's Supreme Elder.

Yan Ruyu summoned the Chaos Green Lotus in her hand, and a beam of green light erected a protective shield, tightly protecting her.

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family casually unleashed a massive handprint in the void, sending four or five demons tumbling back, their fates unknown. Then, another pitch-black handprint struck towards Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu was unable to unleash the power of the Azure Emperor's weapon; she couldn't even muster a wisp of imperial might.

The energy shield wasn't shattered, but the person was knocked off balance, and the Azure Emperor's heart slipped from his grasp, turning into a divine light and disappearing into the sky.

"I swear, from this day forward, if I ever see a member of the Ji family, I will kill them all, and I will kill them in pairs!"

The Azure Dragon King finally returned, his eyes filled with murderous intent, his tone icy cold, as if the coldest winter day could not be more severe.

With a flick of its tail, the dragon's scales shimmered with Dao patterns. With a "boom," the Ji family's Supreme Elder was sent flying by this angry attack, crashing into a distant mountain range.

Suddenly, large sections of ancient trees snapped, and birds took flight in fright.

The Azure Dragon King's eyes flashed, his snake-like pupils looking towards the place where the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart had disappeared. He discovered that the Demon Emperor had gone towards two minor cultivators, and then turned back to block the four powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land.

As long as the heart doesn't fall into the hands of a powerful human, he can get it back.

The Peacock King is also on his way, and things here will be over soon.

The great battle has begun again. The Azure Dragon King suffered a loss once and is now on high alert against the Ji family's void techniques, making the Ji family's Supreme Elder his primary target.

Firelight, void handprints, sword rivers, and the phantom of a blue dragon—various secret techniques intertwined in the void, allowing everyone to witness the prowess of the strongest expert in the Eastern Wilderness.

......

"Brother Lü, what should we do?" Ye Fan held the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart that had flown in his hands and looked at Lü Yao. He was truly panicked.

Those are six powerful figures, representing the top forces and experts of both the human and demon races. A mere sneeze from them could kill a mere cultivator from the Bitter Sea.

Lu Yao looked around. Even though the purple light curtain descended from the gourd blocked the cultivators' view, many people had already noticed this place. He hurriedly said to Ye Fan, "Try to communicate with the Azure Emperor's heart and let it drip a few drops of its heart blood."

"This...it can communicate?"

Ye Fan was taken aback.

"Hurry!" Lü Yao urged.

When he came, he thought that if Yan Ruyu hadn't taken the Demon Emperor's heart, he would try to sneakily use Ye Fan and the bronze block to see if he could squeeze out a few drops of blood.

The life essence of a single drop of the Azure Emperor's heart blood is probably equivalent to a million catties of Origin. With just one or two drops, he wouldn't need any Origin up to the Four Extremes.

"Ah... Oh!" Ye Fan immediately muttered to himself and used his immature consciousness to communicate with his heart, hoping it would give him a few drops of blood.

But the Demon Emperor's heart showed no mercy, and Ye Fan was almost kneeling down.

Seeing this, Lü Yao said, "Try to communicate with the green copper block and use the fragment of the immortal artifact to suppress it."

Ye Fan didn't ask why. At this moment, all the cultivators, big and small, present were probably watching the two of them, and there was no time to waste.
