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

The fat Taoist priest stood on the ground, his body shimmering with light. Mysterious source runes, densely intertwined, outlined his unique Source Heaven Forbidden Divine Array centered on his body.

The Great Way is formless, ethereal and elusive; it has no fixed form and was discovered and explored step by step by pioneers.

The fat Taoist priest followed the example of his predecessors and extracted mysterious source runes from mountains and rivers, from plants and trees, and from all things in heaven and earth.

Compared to those predecessors and sages, the fat Taoist priest's starting point was already very high.

The corpse of a powerful being is imbued with spirit; he possesses an unparalleled physical body, and his soul is woven with unique divine patterns of the Great Dao.

He pioneered a path of evolution in source technology, opening up infinite possibilities.

What is Source Art?

It involves extracting extraordinary source runes from all things in heaven and earth, integrating the vigorous vitality of plants and trees, drawing upon the majestic power of mountains and rivers, and borrowing the brilliant power of stars to resonate with all things in heaven and earth.

Source runes are everywhere!

The fat Taoist priest is on the path of source art evolution. He not only wants to set up various source heaven divine arrays in the world, but also wants to evolve a source heaven forbidden divine array in order to realize his own evolutionary path and transform all things in heaven and earth for his own use.

Where does great power come from?

In the mountains and rivers, in the endless starry sky, among the sun, moon and stars, in the boundless universe!

This is the path the fat Taoist priest should take; it is the most suitable path for him.

In his eyes, this was a broken world, a wasteland, where even the great Dao was incomplete.

It was as if by divine intervention that the great Dao of this world collapsed, leaving the heavens and earth incomplete.

Others might not notice it, but he always vaguely sensed that incomplete feeling.

He wanted to search, explore, and explore in an alternative way to make up for this deficiency.

He did not have a sudden enlightenment, but rather it was the result of years of exploration and continuous progress on this path of cultivation. Today's sudden enlightenment is simply the natural outcome of years of accumulation.

Upon awakening that year, he clearly understood his own path to enlightenment.

He walked alone in the fog, without any companions, gritting his teeth as he continued on this main road.

His gaze was intense; his eyes had evolved to an unbelievable degree.

After many years of burial and transformation in the earth, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the netherworld and see through all things in the world; he was born with top-level divine eyes.

He looked at the majestic and magnificent mountains and rivers in front of him; even though they were broken, they still possessed a powerful aura.

In the blink of an eye, this vast mountain range condensed into a set of source runes in his eyes, containing unique power of mountains and rivers.

He wandered around, observing the terrain and landscape, as if he were flipping through scrolls depicting mountains and rivers, extracting one source rune after another, which flowed in his eyes.

He walked and stopped, resonating with heaven and earth and all things. He used the mountains and rivers as his writing, observed the natural textures, and analyzed the essence of the power between the mountains and rivers, all of which were transformed into mysterious source runes.

The traces and divine essence left by our predecessors and sages cannot be erased even by the passage of time.

Just like his predecessors, the fat Taoist started with the most basic source runes, extracting the necessary source runes from all things in heaven and earth.

He studied much more deeply than his predecessors and sages, exploring directly from the essence of the source art, starting from its origin.

In this era, he embarked on his own grand path.

In his eyes, every speck of dust, every blade of grass, every mountain and every creature is a scripture formed from source runes, waiting for him to decipher it.

Those countless natural scriptures, containing boundless power, are condensed into mysterious source runes, their shimmering patterns containing dazzling brilliance.

He continuously extracted and deduced, creating a dense array of source runes, and his gains became increasingly astonishing.

Through daily and yearly accumulation, he continuously blazed his own path, setting an example for others.

Around his body, there were sparkling runes arranged like a galaxy, with countless stars evolving order and laws.

All things in heaven and earth are themselves tangible forms of Origin Art runes.

The fat Taoist priest walked among the mountains and rivers, between the sun and the moon, and in those abandoned and mysterious places, constantly exploring and forging ahead.

He was immersed in this exploration, constantly gaining new insights, and increasingly felt that the path of source arts was unfathomable and most suitable for him.

He felt that he gained something new every day.

In particular, he was there and could even deduce how those mysterious forbidden lands were formed.

In a daze, he seemed to see an unparalleled powerhouse, with earth-shattering power, collapsing the laws and order, breaking through the barriers of the world, shattering the world, and forming one desolate land after another.

It was as if I could see predecessors and sages sweeping across the universe with boundless power.

Various dazzling runes bloomed, containing mysterious origins, forming one desolate wasteland after another.

The fat Taoist priest had deduced similar scenarios more than once.

When deducing the source runes, it's like tracing back in time, going back to the formation of one impenetrable land after another, and seeing the most essential things within them.

Many people only know that those forbidden zones exist, but they don't know how they were formed.

Some were born naturally, while others involved ancient, indescribable eras, the battles of those peerless powerhouses, and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao contained within their bodies after their fall, which changed the landscape.

After sensing these special scenes, the fat Taoist began to extract and imitate those mysterious source runes, constructing terrain with similar destructive power, thus forming various source heaven forbidden divine arrays.

He constantly studied the Origin Arts, not only to reconstruct those special terrains, but also to extract the necessary Origin Arts runes to construct and open up his own path to the Great Dao.

Unbeknownst to him, the fat Taoist priest lived for many years, tirelessly walking through the world.

Observe the vast ocean, observe the thunder, observe the sun and moon, observe the cold and dark universe, and comprehend your own Great Dao, the path of the Great Dao.

Year after year, it appears on different individual planets and in different universes.

He stood atop the Flying Immortal Star, a powerful dragon vein, lingering before an abandoned path to immortality.

Now, he has completely embarked on his own path to greatness, and as long as he continues to improve, he feels that the future is promising.

Even attaining enlightenment and becoming a supreme being is not the end of this path.

Just as the fat man was excitedly declaring his path to enlightenment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

The fat man was so startled that he almost fell off the cliff.

He was already a powerful figure at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm. Who could have approached him so silently?

buzzing.

One mountain range after another flashed with runes in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he could see the endless source runes.

He continuously evolved these endless source runes, instantly transforming them into countless immortal swords that swept across the heavens and earth, enough to slay true Dao-proving individuals.

This is the unparalleled offensive technique he has come to understand.

He possessed the power to kill those who had attained enlightenment before even realizing it!

This is the path to enlightenment for the fat Taoist priest.

By comprehending the myriad things in the universe, extracting and evolving the source runes within them, one can further transform and upgrade, thus opening up one's own path to the Great Dao.

The fat Taoist was confident that even the Dark Sovereign would be powerless against this terrifyingly powerful forbidden divine array of the Origin Heaven.

But what did he see?

A dazzling display of celestial power shone forth, like the most beautiful celestial light in the world.

The terrifying Origin Heaven Forbidden Divine Array vanished completely before it even touched the powerful figure's body, just like ice and snow melting away.

"This Forbidden Divine Array of Origin Heaven is truly fascinating!"

"Where is your Source Book? Show it to me!"

Li Ming looked at the fat Taoist priest in front of him with a smile.

At this moment, the fat Taoist priest looked tense, dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.

Just as he was about to use the forbidden secret technique to escape, a sudden thought struck him: "Demon Lord?!"

"You are the Demon Lord!"

"This humble Taoist has met the Demon Lord!"

Having seen the portrait of the Demon Lord and witnessing his formidable strength, the fat Taoist instantly understood the man's identity, having already reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Hmm, looks like you're someone of great importance!"

"The background is unfathomable!"

“Your research in this lifetime is very interesting, and I am very interested in it.”

"Demon Lord, what is the meaning of this?" The fat Taoist respectfully handed a gleaming silver book to Li Ming.

"What kind of background do I have?" the fat Taoist priest asked, looking puzzled.

"You'll understand when you attain enlightenment and become a supreme being!" Li Ming said with a smile.

Clearly, this so-called Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable has sealed away his memories.

The seal will probably be broken only after he re-establishes his authority and becomes the supreme being.

Li Ming turned his gaze to the Source Book.

This gleaming silver book was actually made of immortal iron. It was extremely heavy, enough to forge an ultimate weapon.

It is imprinted with three ancient runes: the Book of Origin.

The strokes are bold and powerful, the characters are profound and solid, resembling three azure dragons lying horizontally.

"These characters are written really well!"

Li Ming never expected that he would actually see an original, genuine copy of the Source Book in this era.

The Origin Book passed down from Ye Fan's era can only be cultivated up to the level of Origin Master. If you want to go further, you can only explore it on your own.

Moreover, all those who practice this source art will be cursed, their bodies will be covered in red hair, and they will be summoned to the underworld to become puppets.

When Li Ming first read the original text, he became very interested in this Source Book.

Now that they know the fat Taoist priest is on the path to opening the source of knowledge, how could they possibly let him go?

It can be said that I personally witnessed this fat Taoist priest's path to establishing Taoism.

After opening the Origin Book, beams of silver light shot out, dazzling and shimmering like diamonds.

It was described using a script even older than the mythological era.

Fortunately, Li Ming was knowledgeable and experienced, and he could see the implied meaning at a glance.

Each ancient character shines like a star.

The opening explains how Heaven, Earth, and Man approach the Dao through the Source, how to extract the mysterious Source runes, and how to achieve harmony between Heaven and Man.

"Looking up, one observes the celestial phenomena; looking down, one observes the patterns of the earth; one observes the markings of birds and beasts..."

"Internal energy arises, external energy takes shape..."

"Qi disperses when carried by the wind, and stops when it encounters water..."

Li Ming quickly read through the entire book and found it to be truly profound and extensive.

The more he observed and deduced, the more solemn his expression became. It truly lived up to its reputation as a miraculous book that proved the Dao through the art of source.

The techniques within truly point directly to the Great Dao.

As a being of chaotic nature, he was particularly sensitive to this kind of unorthodox approach that directly points to the Great Dao.

This celestial book does not discuss cultivation methods, but it is close to the Daoist principles and covers a very wide range of topics.

It emphasizes observing the structure of mountains and rivers, the changes in celestial phenomena, the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the method of interaction between heaven and man, which is profound and ever-changing.

It involves so many things; it truly is a profound scripture.

No wonder the original text only contained half a book; it turns out that it contained too many unspeakable secrets.

After carefully deducing the truth, Li Ming returned the Source Book to the fat Taoist priest.

At this point, the fat Taoist priest was also named Duan De.

Li Ming and the fat Taoist priest, who had not yet been reinstated as a respected Taoist, discussed metaphysics and Taoism.

By utilizing the mysterious abode of the Chaos Entity, a vast array of Chaos Origin Runes evolved.

After the discussion ended, the fat Taoist priest Duan De hurriedly left.

It was as if the Demon Lord possessed some great terror.

. . .

After reading the Source Book by the fat Taoist Duan De, Li Ming was deeply moved.
