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

The scales on its body were as if cast from divine gold, shimmering with a cold luster.

The corpse of the Teng Snake lay coiled there, still exuding an aura that suppressed the heavens and the earth, even in death.

The enormous black corpse was constantly attracting the essence of the sun and moon from the starry sky, which gathered into a silver river and flowed into the corpse.

Although he was dead, his body showed no signs of decay; instead, it appeared lifelike, as if he were asleep.

"The remains of a remnant immortal?"

"This is clearly a complete corpse of a True Immortal!"

Li Ming thought about it and concluded that it was probably not a deliberate misleading by the Celestial Venerable of Immortality.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity must have been here, but he arrived much earlier.

Perhaps he also wanted to steal the remains of this true immortal, but he failed.

Unexpectedly, after being nurtured here for tens of thousands of years, the body of this true immortal has been restored to its original complete shape.

Suddenly, Li Ming was surprised to find that the corpse had moved, it had actually moved slightly.

He immediately took a step back, observing silently.

The serpent actually moved, even raising its head and letting out a dragon's roar.

Li Ming immediately felt a sense of turmoil. He saw the essence and blood of countless living beings in this world converging, dyeing the sky red.

All the essence and blood flowed into the body of the serpent.

No wonder there were so many corpses on the road; they had all been devoured by the corpse of the serpent.

To Li Ming's surprise, he discovered that the corpse was emanating a life force.

As the essence and blood flowed into it, the life force began to fluctuate more and more powerfully.

Even the corpse of the serpent slowly floated in the void.

Li Ming saw countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth, and the essence of all spirits, flowing into the corpse.

He felt as if the dead body had come back to life.

Yes, they really woke up.

"Roar..."

A roar, like a dragon's cry, pierced through this world.

Countless, dazzling immortal runes appeared on the dense scales of the serpent.

Countless Dao runes appeared around it, like Dao chains, firmly binding the serpent.

It turns out that the body of this true immortal was trapped by an unparalleled formation.

After careful observation, Li Ming finally confirmed that the endless array was likely set up by Lingbao Tianzun.

"Could it be that the Celestial Venerable Lingbao wants to refine the remains of this True Immortal in order to live a new life?"

"Based on the description in the original text, he should have failed."

"Could it be that it perished together with the spirit-connected serpent of this corpse?"

Li Ming could sense that the corpse was not merely an empty shell; there were indeed life fluctuations within it, indicating that the corpse was indeed sentient.

The corpse of a true immortal possesses spiritual power; if one were to embark on cultivation, their talent for cultivation would be absolutely astonishing.

However, his original spirit had already been destroyed, and it was not an easy task to regain his original strength.

Especially since there are no true immortals in this world.

Li Ming stared intently at the corpse of the True Immortal. He knew that there was a setup by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao here, and it certainly wouldn't be that simple.

Thinking of this, he admired Lingbao Tianzun even more.

Unexpectedly, his secret to forming characters was so magical and powerful that it actually killed the remnant immortal.

They even kept his body tightly bound here.

Lingbao Tianzun probably never imagined that the corpse of a true immortal would be spiritually connected.

The life force within the immortal's corpse was rapidly increasing.

He quickly surpassed the limitations of a Quasi-Emperor and actually reached the realm of the Supreme Being.

"Is this equivalent to the divine consciousness of the Dark Sovereign, and the body of a True Immortal?"

Li Ming was also taken aback, never expecting that the True Immortal's corpse, after gaining spiritual power, had already cultivated to such a level.

If it weren't for my arrival, which awakened this new divine thought, it would probably have continued to develop here.

An ancient incantation rang out, and the serpent's body began to move.

Then she suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at Li Ming.

With a roar, the serpent's body flew up, its tail lashing out fiercely at Li Ming.

Even though it was chained here, the serpent still launched a devastating attack.

A greedy glint appeared in the serpent's eyes, as if it could see Li Ming being killed and then devoured by it.

The tail, at the level of a true immortal, tore through the void, emitting incomparably dazzling immortal runes, and lashed fiercely towards Li Ming.

With a deafening roar, the serpent let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The scene that Li Ming was expected to be killed instantly did not happen. Instead, the snake's tail was shaken and bled.

"what?"

"How is this possible!"

The serpent was terrified; it had been injured.

How did that human powerhouse manage to block the immortal's attack?

With a deafening roar, celestial light burst forth, and the Tengshe was struck again, sent flying.

The Great Dao resounded with heavenly music, immortal runes bloomed, and immortal light shone brilliantly.

The immortal laws that had not blossomed for many years were now burning fiercely.

But all of this came to an abrupt end after he met Li Ming.

The serpent's body was sent flying sideways, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Why is this happening?

The serpent let out a mournful roar.

He couldn't understand how he, having already become a spirit in his corpse, possessed such formidable strength and the body of a true immortal, could possibly be no match for that powerful human.

When the dazzling light faded and the chaotic lightning disappeared, an ancient and weathered bronze palace emerged.

It was the Bronze Immortal Palace.

The copper rust that once emanated from it has now turned into a crystal-clear emerald green, as if it were carved from jade.

This is a true celestial artifact.

Although the weapons and deities are gone, the immortal runes on them are real.

It's enough to fight against the True Immortal level corpse of the Tengshe.

"The Bronze Immortal Palace!"

The serpent was surprised to recognize this celestial artifact.

His body even trembled slightly, causing the chains binding him to rattle.

He gazed at the Bronze Immortal Palace from afar, his expression extremely complex.

"I never imagined that the Bronze Immortal Palace would end up in this world..."

"The Bronze Immortal Palace has actually fallen into your hands..."

"What a pity, what a pity, it turns out his weapon deity is already dead..."

"You actually recognize this immortal artifact? Could it be that he really fell from the Immortal Realm to this world?" Li Ming frowned.

"Hmph! This thing naturally comes from the Immortal Realm!"

"How could this world possibly forge immortal artifacts!"

"In this desolate lower realm, to have cultivated to this level is truly remarkable; you are a cultivation prodigy!"

"If you can rescue me, I can take you on the path to immortality and into the immortal realm to become an immortal."

Otherwise, you can only grow old and die silently in this world!

This serpent actually tempted Li Ming to break the formation here, wanting Li Ming to let it out.

Chapter 22 Lingbao Tianzun's Backup Plan

"Heh..." Faced with Tengshe's temptation, Li Ming sneered without answering.

"Hmph!" Tengshe snorted disdainfully.

"You're actually a Chaos Being?"

"To have attained enlightenment and become a supreme being in this world, without being devoured by those dark sovereigns, is truly a stroke of luck!"

"You actually obtained the Bronze Immortal Palace."

"It's a pity that the Bronze Immortal Palace is so severely suppressed in this world that it can't unleash its true power at all."

Li Ming originally planned to refine the Bronze Immortal Palace into the Heavenly Demon Blade when his cultivation level was high. According to Tengshe, the Bronze Immortal Palace seemed to have quite a background.

Could there be some hidden uses that I'm unaware of?

"Hehe, you old ghost, you're really unlucky to have fallen from the Immortal Realm into this world."

"He was even killed and is now bound here. How pitiful!"

"Although this Bronze Immortal Palace no longer has weapon deities, it's enough to kill you."

Li Ming had roughly estimated the strength of the Tengshe, which was a supreme soul combined with a body at the level of a true immortal.

Roughly equivalent to the Dark Sovereign, possessing a celestial artifact, his strength is estimated to be just so-so.

However, since this soul was born from his corpse, it might be able to make some of the wondrous uses of the serpent's body.

With the Bronze Immortal Palace in hand, Li Ming was confident that he could handle this Teng Snake, and therefore he also looked down on it.

Now, this serpent is bound by countless chains of the Great Dao order and cannot break free from the formation here, so its strength is obviously not as great as imagined.

He vaguely sensed the aura of the Secret of Word Formation and the Celestial Venerable Lingbao here.

He looked down at the serpent: "Where did Lingbao Tianzun go? Did he kill you and then suppress you here?"

Upon hearing the name of Lingbao Tianzun, the Tengshe seemed extremely confused.

But soon, a mysterious light flashed in his eyes, and some scenes that had happened before quickly flashed before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he understood what had happened and the cause and effect.

"Lingbao Tianzun!" Tengshe said through gritted teeth.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and his body emanated ripples of the Great Dao, frantically impacting the surrounding chains of the Great Dao Order.

"Once I'm free, I'm going to devour Lingbao Tianzun."

"He wanted to refine me and live a new life, but I swallowed him whole, completely severing his path to enlightenment!"

Hearing Tengshe's words, Li Ming was somewhat surprised: "Could it be that Lingbao Tianzun is not completely dead yet?"

"Does he really want to refine this immortal corpse and live a new life?"

"But now it seems there's a big problem; it seems Lingbao Tianzun has failed!"

Hearing Li Ming's words, Tengshe's face was full of disdain: "With his trashy looks, he dares to lust after my body?"

The serpent didn't seem to want to say much more about it and quickly changed the subject.

He stared intently at Li Ming's bronze immortal palace, making no attempt to hide his covetousness.

"Only in the hands of a true immortal can this bronze palace unleash its true power."

"If it were in my hands, perhaps I could use it to smash open the path to immortality!"

"Aren't you really going to consider it?"
