Covering the Sky: I Created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in the Mythical Era

Chapter 21 True Immortal Teng Snake

Li Ming transformed into a beam of chaotic immortal light, instantly tearing through the void and flying towards the star coordinates where the remnant immortal's corpse was located.

The vast expanse of the heavens and earth is filled with countless twinkling stars, and life-bearing planets dot the sky.

Overall, the entire universe of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is based on a dark and cold cosmic theme.

Vast expanses of land are nothing but darkness and cold void, many places are desolate starry rivers, untouched by life for countless millennia.

Although legend has it that sages can expend their inner energy and traverse the starry sky, in reality, even for a sage, traversing the starry sky is still extremely dangerous.

In this universe, there are countless dangers that could cost even a saint their life.

To freely roam the universe, one must attain enlightenment and supreme status.

Li Ming traversed the starry sky, deliberately slowing down to observe the spectacular sights.

Countless stars passed by in the blink of an eye, and the scenes on countless life-bearing planets were like viewing flowers through a fog—a truly unique experience.

He soon saw a planet that had been abandoned.

That was when he embarked on the ancient starry road, and he had unearthed several planets with special physical entities.

It's unbelievable that this planet is now depleted of resources and abandoned.

He looked around at the ruins and rubble, clearly indicating that a great battle had taken place here.

At least a quasi-emperor level battle destroyed this planet.

This was once an ancient planet blessed by heaven and earth, nurturing countless living beings.

It was so unexpected that it was destroyed like this.

There's a real sense of things changing and people being gone.

Even when Li Ming saw this ruined planet again, he could still recall many things that had happened on it.

It has now become a memory.

Li Ming shook his head, then vanished, the fate of this planet none of his concern.

He kept deducing and hurrying, and soon he went deep into the chaos and found a desolate starry sky.

A mysterious black hole appeared there, with endless purple energy surging around it.

The matter swallowed into the black hole instantly burst into flames at the edge of the black hole, appearing incredibly brilliant.

The entire black hole seemed to be coated with a layer of dazzling golden halo.

Li Ming estimated that this black hole was at least 100,000 light-years in diameter. Ordinary stars and planets were nothing in front of this black hole.

Li Ming knew that ordinary people might find it hard to imagine how large a diameter distance 100,000 light-years is.

But in Li Ming's view, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Now that he can create heaven and earth in chaos, what's so strange about him seeing such a black hole?

He leaped inside!

As if he had traveled through a long period of time, he arrived at a black ocean with towering waves.

The vast, black ocean surged with towering waves, even shattering the stars in the sky.

As the terrifying waves subsided, Li Ming's figure appeared.

Li Ming looked at the boundless black ocean with a solemn expression.

Something's strange here!

Since Li Ming attained enlightenment and became a supreme being, his divine sense could scan the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the blink of an eye.

Like a divine mind that can see into the depths of the underworld, almost everything in the world cannot escape his scan, except for those forbidden areas that are deliberately ignored.

However, now that he has entered this black ocean, his divine sense has been severely restricted, and he can only explore a range of tens of thousands of miles in radius.

Further away, there was a hazy, chaotic expanse, making it difficult to discern the specific scene within.

This all seems to be different from the information found in the soul of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality.

"Has something happened here recently?" Li Ming wondered.

Li Ming thought about the bronze immortal palace in his hand, and then about the mysterious bronze mirror, and immediately became full of confidence again.

Anyway, this true immortal is already dead, so even if something unexpected happens, he is confident that he can handle it.

Li Ming flew at high speed above the pitch-black seawater.

He soon discovered one enormous island after another, as vast as the mainland.

However, the cultivators above had very low cultivation levels and did not notice Li Ming's presence at all. There were also many ordinary creatures living in harmony on that land.

As Li Ming continued to venture deeper into this black ocean, he suddenly had a premonition.

"Get out here!"

With a roar, Li Ming swung his hand and grabbed a section of the sea.

A gray shadow, no matter how much he struggled, could not escape.

If Li Ming wanted to kill him, it would only be a matter of a single thought.

It was an enormous octopus, its entire body covered in scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen, clearly having evolved to an extremely advanced level.

Judging from his aura, he is clearly a quasi-Supreme being.

He had just been pinched by Li Ming, and his body was covered in blood. His face was pale and his breath was weak, clearly indicating that he had been frightened.

The octopus suddenly transformed into an elderly man with white hair, who knelt before Li Ming and begged for mercy.

"Heavenly Venerable One, I was blind and ignorant, please forgive me!"

This powerful Quasi-Saint, seemingly devoid of any dignity, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with such ease.

Li Ming snorted coldly: "How dare you spy on me in secret!"

"What do you want to do?"

Li Ming's voice was like thunder, almost shattering the quasi-saint.

"Celestial Venerable, please calm your anger. I have always lived in this sea area and was cultivating my Dao when I accidentally discovered that your aura was so terrifying. I only dared to take a look, and I have absolutely no ill intentions!"

"It's a local creature?!"

Li Ming never expected that this vast ocean could nurture a quasi-saint level powerhouse.

"Stand up. I need to ask you some questions about the situation in this world, and you must answer truthfully..."

"Whatever the Celestial Venerable commands, I will answer all questions earnestly." The quasi-venerable readily agreed.

Li Ming was satisfied and nodded: "Have you ever heard of the corpse of a true immortal in this world? Where is that corpse now?"

Upon hearing that Li Ming had inquired about the corpse of the True Immortal, the Quasi-Venerable's face immediately showed a look of fear.

"You must not go there, Celestial Venerable!"

"The place where that immortal's corpse is now located has seemingly undergone a strange change and has become a place of great misfortune!"

"I saw a quasi-emperor die there with my own eyes!"

"Just tell me the truth about the situation there, and don't worry about anything else," Li Ming said calmly.

Soon the Quasi-Venerable revealed the secret of where the True Immortal's corpse was located.

It turns out that more than a thousand years ago, they discovered that the corpse of the true immortal began to emit immortal light continuously. This world believed that the corpse of the true immortal might have given birth to treasures.

They joined forces to deduce and explore, hoping to obtain the treasures hidden within the corpse of the true immortal.

At first, they entered the body of the true immortal's corpse without any problems.

But they soon discovered that it was like a nightmare.

Several powerful Quasi-Venerables were devoured.

They were eaten right before their eyes.

This octopus was also careful and managed to escape by chance.

Living in constant fear, wanting to escape this world, lest the terrifying corpse of the True Immortal come knocking on their door.

"Has a true immortal come back to life?"

"No, impossible. If I were alive, I would probably have been eaten long ago."

"It feels like a lingering obsession within the body, or perhaps a spirit communicating with the corpse," the Quasi-Venerable said after careful consideration.

After hearing what this quasi-revered one said, Li Ming also made a deduction.

It was discovered that this place was indeed very special, and everything was shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to predict.

After a long time, Li Ming finally opened his eyes.

"Heavenly Venerable One, may I leave now?"

The quasi-venerable asked cautiously.

"Wait a moment, take me to find the body of that true immortal."

"This... Heavenly Venerable, that place is far too dangerous. It's better not to go."

"I really narrowly escaped death on that path, and I never want to go there again."

Li Ming said, "You're the strongest and most knowledgeable person here. If you don't lead the way, who will?"

"How about I just search your soul directly?" Li Ming said with a smile.

"Heavenly Venerable..."

"Enough with the nonsense, lead the way right now!" Seeing that this quasi-venerable was still trying to argue, Li Ming shouted, "If you say another word, I'll kill you with one palm strike."

Li Mingxian appeared very impatient.

This quasi-Supreme One didn't dare to utter a sound and obediently led Li Ming forward.

Along the way, the vast black ocean was so expansive that it even produced some strange creatures.

There are corpses of saints, corpses of low-level cultivators, and even corpses of mortals.

Some of the bodies had been dead for a long time, while others were clearly relatively fresh.

Li Ming looked at these corpses, which had lost their original essence, with a playful expression on his face.

It seems that the corpse of that immortal is indeed a bit problematic.

After about half a day of wandering around, Li Ming finally saw the scene ahead.

There stood an enormous corpse, towering like a sacred mountain.

Li Ming stared intently at the corpse in front of him, as if trying to see through everything.

The quasi-Supreme being trembled under the oppressive aura.

"Heavenly Venerable, may I leave now?"

"Let's go."

Li Ming waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly.

The quasi-saint originally intended to leave, but seeing the incomparably powerful aura emanating from Li Ming, he gritted his teeth and decided to stay.

Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger.

If this Celestial Venerable had overlooked even a tiny treasure, it would have been enough to sustain him for the rest of his life.

His cultivation had already reached such a level that it had long since stalled, and his lifespan was running out.

Why not take a chance here? Maybe we can win a reward from the Heavenly Venerable.

Li Ming looked at the quasi-Zun who was hesitating and lingering, not saying anything more.

He flew straight ahead.

This immortal corpse, resembling a sacred mountain, looks like a real dragon, but upon closer inspection, it is different.

It turns out this is a flying snake!

It is not a true dragon species.

Although it has grown claws and has a head like a real dragon, the differences in other parts are still very obvious.
