Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body

Chapter 103 The exchange with Meng Shenji becomes an opportunity on the other side!

This nemesis of Hong Yi has now reached the Yang God realm, having devoured the void and refined countless resources, reaching an unprecedented peak in strength.

But he knew better than anyone that he was no match for Hong Yi.

That kind of gap cannot be bridged by working harder.

So he came.

He came here to sacrifice everything he had in exchange for enough power to fight against Hong Yi.

As Li Qingshan watched the approaching aura grow ever closer, his smile deepened.

The Dream God's Machine arrived just in time.

He wants the power to deal with Hong Yi, that's fine.

But Li Qingshan was more concerned about Hong Yi himself.

Since Hong Yi refused to merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark and rely on it to break through to the other shore, my plan to completely hook the entire Yang God World through Hong Yi was stuck at the last step.

Direct intervention?

No, it's not allowed by the fishing rules.

Forced termination?

That won't work either; if the fish doesn't bite, forcing it will only cause it to get off the hook.

But now, Meng Shenji has offered up a ready-made opportunity.

With a slight thought, Li Qingshan took something out from the deepest part of the all-black robe.

A dark red ball of flesh, its surface covered with vein-like patterns, was now undulating slightly, as if it had just fallen asleep.

The Emperor's Nirvana!

This is the main body of the Immortal Emperor's physical form, which he forcibly left behind deep within Mars and has been sealed there ever since.

This thing is of extremely high quality, containing a trace of true immortal essence.

If refined properly, it could create a true master of the imperial path out of thin air.

A master of the Imperial Path, placed in the Yangshen World, would be equivalent to a combat power at the Other Shore level, enough to suppress Hong Yi in his current state.

Li Qingshan held the ball of flesh, his divine sense sweeping over the rapidly approaching aura, his mind racing with calculations.

If Meng Shenji wants power, then give him power.

This body of the Emperor in his Nirvana is the best bait.

Of course, it can't be given away for free.

The rules of fishing emphasize exchange. If Meng Shenji sacrificed everything he had, then I would exchange this Nirvana body for him.

The moment the exchange was completed, Meng Shenji established a causal connection with himself.

At that time, regardless of whether he has completely refined the Nirvana Body, he can use this connection to "fish" him back at any time.

And through him, one can naturally come into contact with Hong Yi.

Furthermore, the Dream God Machine could be used as a pawn to influence Hong Yi's choices at crucial moments.

"Let's do it this way."

Without further hesitation, Li Qingshan pointed.

The dark red Nirvana flesh ball followed the Dao sign connecting the Yang God World, transforming into a stream of light and flying towards the rapidly approaching aura.

Once the exchange is completed, a causal mark will be placed on Meng Shenji's body.

The mark was neither offensive nor perceptible; it had only one function: tracing the cause and effect of events.

Regardless of whether Meng Shenji defeats Hong Yi or ultimately wins, he reaches the other shore.

Hong Yi still gritted his teeth and merged with the Heavenly Heart Mark, devouring the Dream God Machine. This cause and effect remained unchanged.

Besides the Heavenly Heart Mark, Li Qingshan has already placed a second chess piece in his hand!

After doing all this, he closed his eyes again, his mind immersing itself in the beacons, quietly watching what would happen next.

The world of Yangshen, an ancient battlefield in the starry sky.

This place was once a battleground for ancient powerful beings, but now it is just a desolate void, with countless shattered continental remnants floating in it, drifting slowly in the eternal darkness.

At this moment, a figure stands at the deepest part of these ruins.

He was dressed in a Taoist robe, his face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, and his eyes were like two burning suns, their opening and closing emitting a light that could burn everything.

Dream God Machine.

His aura flowed freely, indicating he had already reached the Yang God realm, but he was still far from the legendary other shore.

He simply couldn't take that final step.

-

Because Hong Yi came first.

That junior whom he once regarded as an ant has now surpassed him and reached a height that he could not reach.

Meng Shenji knew that if he did not find another way, he would surely be defeated.

So he came here.

His gaze fell on the cluster of starlight floating in the void ahead.

This thing has existed for many years, and it is rumored that it can be used to make trades with unknown entities, offering everything in exchange for what one desires.

He used to scoff at it, thinking it was just a trick left behind by some ancient powerhouse.

But now, this is his only hope.

It's certainly not advisable to try to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, but once you're dead, it's truly gone!

"I know you can understand!"

Meng Shenji spoke, his voice calm, yet it echoed endlessly in this deathly silent void.

"Today, I, Meng Shenji, am here, and I am willing to offer everything I have—my Yang Shen Dao Fruit, my origin, my lifespan, and all that I possess!"

"Exchange it for power sufficient to defeat Hong Yi!"

The voice just fell.

boom!

In the void, a rift suddenly tore open.

Beyond the crack lay endless darkness, so deep that its bottom could not be seen, as if it led to another dimension.

A streak of light flew out from the darkness, heading straight for Meng Shenji.

It was a fist-sized, dark red ball of flesh, its surface covered with vein-like patterns, and it was now undulating slightly, as if it were asleep.

The moment the fleshy ball appeared, Meng Shenji's pupils suddenly contracted.

He sensed it.

The power contained within that fleshy ball was ancient, vast, and carried a trace of immortal aura that transcended this world.

It was a power system completely different from that of the Yang God, yet it was equally powerful enough to make people tremble.

What alarmed Meng Shenji even more was that when the fleshy ball approached, he vaguely sensed a gaze.

That gaze came from the depths of darkness and landed on him, as if looking at a fish that had taken the bait.

Meng Shenji's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

So what if people are watching me!

As long as we can reach the other shore, what does it matter if we have to deal with a tiger for its skin?

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and reached out to grab the ball of flesh.

The fleshy mass felt warm and smooth like jade, yet it was terrifyingly heavy.

An unimaginably powerful surge of life energy erupted from the fleshy ball, flowing down his arm and into his body.

Meng Shenji felt as if his whole body had been set ablaze, his blood and qi boiling, his magical power surging wildly, and the bottleneck that had not loosened for countless years suddenly cracked at this moment.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

He said "good" three times in a row, his eyes shining brightly.

Just then.

The void cracked open once more.

A figure stepped out from the crack.

He was dressed in a blue robe, with a gentle and refined temperament, and an indescribable Taoist aura emanating from him.

Hong Yi.

he came.

Hong Yi's gaze fell on the dark red mass of flesh, and his expression turned serious after just one glance.

"What exactly is this thing?"

He could sense that the power contained within that fleshy ball far surpassed that of the Yang God, even exceeding his current understanding—a power from beyond the other shore.

It was a complete and transcendent aura of immortality, as if it came from another dimension.

Hong Yi's gaze had already fallen upon the Starshine Fishhook that had appeared there.

He stared at Meng Shenji and slowly said, "Meng Shenji, how dare you cooperate with such a being?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed.

That smile contained three parts madness, three parts relief, and three parts indescribable excitement.

"What's wrong with cooperating with that kind of entity?"

He cradled the dark red ball of flesh, and his aura began to surge wildly.

"Hong Yi, you've won too many times, and for too long. Today, I'll show you what true power is!"

He had barely finished speaking when he opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

He swallowed that dark red ball of flesh in one gulp!

boom!!!

An indescribable aura of terror suddenly erupted from the body of the Dream God Machine.

That aura was ancient, vast, and carried a hint of immortal charm that transcended this world. It instantly broke through the limits of the Yang God realm and frantically climbed towards the legendary other shore.

Meng Shenji's body began to tremble violently, and countless fine dark red lines appeared on the surface of his skin.

The patterns continued to spread and intertwine, eventually converging into profound runes that were imprinted on every inch of his flesh and blood.

His lifespan began to increase dramatically.

Five thousand years, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years —

In the blink of an eye, it has broken through the limit of 129,600 years of heaven and earth, reaching an unprecedented height.

He will not die at all.

His physical body is immortal, and his soul is indestructible; even if this world returns to chaos, he can still survive.

He saw the other side.

Although it was just a blurry shadow, and although he never actually set foot on that land, he saw it.

That was the realm that countless Yang Gods dreamed of, and now it was right before their eyes.

Meng Shenji opened his eyes, his gaze like two burning stars illuminating the entire ancient battlefield in the starry sky.

"Hong Yi, come and fight!"

Without saying a word, he took action immediately.

boom!

With a single punch, the void shattered inch by inch where the fist passed, and chaotic energy surged out, only to be flattened by the force of the punch.

The fist intent was too domineering, carrying a destructive will that could burn everything and destroy all things, and it crushed straight towards Hong Yi.

Hong Yi's expression was solemn. With a wave of his hand, a huge array diagram unfolded in front of him.

.

The array was composed of countless intricate lines, each line glowing, moving, and evolving into mysterious and unpredictable changes.

The Array of Creation!

This is the supreme formation created by Hong Yi, who integrated the teachings of various schools of thought and based it on the Book of Changes. It can evolve all phenomena in the world and break through all supernatural powers.

The moment the array unfolded, the incoming fist force was enveloped, decomposed, and dissolved by the layers of array patterns.

But Meng Shenji's second punch had already arrived.

The third punch, the fourth punch, the fifth punch —

Punch after punch, incredibly fast, each punch enough to destroy a whole world.

Hong Yi's Creation Array trembled violently, its array patterns flickering and showing signs of collapse.

"not enough!"

Meng Shenji shouted sharply, formed hand seals, and unleashed his most prized supernatural power.

"Burning the Heavens!"

In an instant, endless golden flames surged from the void, covering the sky and sweeping towards Hong Yi.

That flame was no ordinary fire, but the Heaven-Burning Flame condensed by Meng Shenji using the Yang God Dao Fruit, each wisp of which was enough to burn a star.

Wherever the flames passed, the void was burned to nothingness, revealing the pitch-black chaos behind them.

Hong Yi's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand and pointed.

The I Ching, Kun hexagram.

A powerful force of earth surged from the void, transforming into a majestic divine mountain that stood before the flames.

The flames crashed against the mountain, creating a deafening roar.

The mountain trembled violently, and cracks spread, but it was ultimately not burned down.

Meng Shenji sneered and continued to urge the flames on, while simultaneously forming a hand seal with his left hand to unleash another divine power.
