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

Chapter 104 Merging with the Heavenly Heart, the Opportunity Has Arrived!

"easy!"

Endless destructive power surged from his body, transforming into a pitch-black torrent that swept towards Hong Yi.

Wherever this torrent passed, even chaos was swallowed up, turning into the most primordial nothingness.

Hong Yi formed hand seals, and a series of hexagrams appeared in front of him.

The eight trigrams—Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui—emerged together, forming a massive Bagua array that protected him in the center.

The destructive torrent crashed against the Bagua diagram, producing a piercing roar.

The array trembled violently, each hexagram flickering uncertainly, yet it ultimately did not collapse.

The two forces were locked in a stalemate, wearing each other down and devouring one another.

The entire ancient battlefield in the starry sky trembled, and the suspended, shattered continents exploded one after another, turning into dust that filled the sky.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

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

"Hong Yi, you certainly didn't disappoint me!"

He roared to the sky, and his aura surged once again.

He frantically activated the power of that giant, reborn humanoid ball, transforming it into torrents of energy that surged and roared within his body.

His physical body began to change.

Countless fine, dark gold lines appeared on the surface of the skin, covering the entire body one after another, shimmering with a cold, metallic light.

Behind him, a pair of enormous wings tore through flesh and grew out.

The wings were dark gold, each feather like a celestial blade, its sharpness piercing the void.

His brow split open, and his third eye slowly opened.

The eyes were vertical pupils, and deep within the pupils, the scenes of the sun and moon revolving and stars rising and falling were evolving.

Primordial Celestial Phoenix!

This is the true form of the Undying Emperor, which is now manifesting on Meng Shenji. Although it is only a part of him, it is enough to elevate his combat power to a whole new level.

"Hong Yi, today is your death day!"

Meng Shenji shouted sharply, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Hong Yi.

The speed was unbelievable, exceeding the limits of time and space.

He threw a punch, his fist crackling with scorching flames and destructive power. The two forces intertwined, unleashing a world-destroying power.

Hong Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he formed hand seals at an extreme speed.

"The Great Expansion Number of the I Ching!"

In an instant, fifty hexagrams flew out from his body and intertwined in front of him to form a huge celestial map.

As the Heavenly Chart unfolds, it reveals all things in the world, past and future, and countless possibilities.

When Meng Shenji's punch landed on the Heavenly Mystery Diagram, the force of the punch was decomposed, dissolved, and transferred by the layers of hexagrams, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

But he didn't stop. He unleashed a second, third, and fourth punch in quick succession, each punch carrying terrifying power capable of destroying the world.

Hong Yi's Heavenly Secrets Diagram trembled violently, and cracks began to appear in the hexagrams.

Fifty hexagrams, one after another, crumbled.

When the forty-ninth hexagram shattered, the Heavenly Secret Diagram finally collapsed completely.

When the forty-ninth hexagram shattered, the Heavenly Secret Diagram finally collapsed completely.

Hong Yi retreated rapidly, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The blood turned into specks of golden light in the air, each drop as heavy as a mountain, crushing the void.

He stood at the edge of the ancient battlefield in the starry sky, his aura fluctuating violently, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.

Meng Shenji did not pursue, but hovered a thousand miles away, his dark golden phoenix wings gently flapping behind him. With each flap, endless flames and destructive power surged out, burning the eight wastelands.

His vertical pupil between his brows opened, and wherever his gaze fell, the void vanished, revealing eternal darkness behind it.

"Hong Yi, you've lost!"

When Meng Shenji spoke, his voice was calm, yet it carried a transcendent air of looking down upon all living beings.

He was surrounded by a dark golden celestial light, an ancient and vast radiance that made him appear like a deity who had emerged from the primordial era.

"You created the I Ching, wrote books and established theories, hoping to enable everyone to become like a dragon—that's truly remarkable. But you are ultimately just a mortal; how can you compare to me?"

"Now that I have received the inheritance of immortality and stepped into the realm of the other shore, my physical body is immortal and my soul is indestructible. Even if this world returns to chaos, I can still survive."

"And you, today, will die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved.

boom!

A colossal phantom of a city rose up behind him. The city was entirely golden, with towering walls reaching into the clouds and magnificent towers. Every brick and stone was formed from the purest willpower, exuding supreme majesty that suppressed all heavens.

Eternal Kingdom!

This is a divine artifact formed by Meng Shenji with his life's worth of vows and is a manifestation of his Dao fruition. As he ascends to the other shore, his power also rises accordingly, and his might is further enhanced.

At this moment, the city was fully revealed, covering the sky and the entire ancient battlefield of the starry sky.

On the city tower, countless figures appeared. These were the believers that Meng Shenji had converted over the years, each possessing formidable strength.

At this moment, they chanted the name of the Dream God in unison, converging into a vast torrent of vows, which blessed the Eternal Kingdom.

Hong Yi's expression was solemn as he raised his hand and made a gesture.

A colossal palace flew out of his body. The palace was entirely of a chaotic color, and its surface was covered with countless ancient runes. Each rune was flashing, flowing, and chanting incantations that transcended eternity.

The Temple of All Saints!

This is the supreme artifact forged by Hong Yi, who integrated the teachings of various schools of thought, based on the Book of Changes, and gathered the power of the wishes of all living beings.

The temple doors were wide open, and inside sat countless phantom images of ancient sages, some writing books, some preaching, and some deducing the secrets of heaven, together forming a magnificent scene of a hundred schools of thought contending and ten thousand paths resonating.

Immediately afterwards, a weathered ancient bridge extends out from the void, its body covered with the marks left by time. Beneath the bridge is an illusory river, its waters flowing slowly, carrying a sense of desolation, as if time has passed and the past is gone forever.

Bridge to the other shore!

This bridge was created by Hong Yi using the concepts of "time" and "position" from the Book of Changes. The bridge spans the past, present, and future. Stepping onto this bridge allows one to glimpse the various possibilities in the long river of time.

Three more enormous stone tablets descended from the sky, hovering around Hong Yi in a triangular formation.

The stone tablet is dark gold in color, and its body is covered with dense cracks, yet it still exudes a terrifying aura that has suppressed all ages.

Each stone tablet is engraved with an ancient word: Immortal.

An immortal monument!

This is an ancient treasure that Hong Yi obtained from the tombs of the philosophers. It is said to be a divine object used by ancient powerful beings to suppress the four poles of heaven and earth. When the three tablets appear together, they can stabilize the earth, water, fire and wind, and reopen the world.

Finally, a huge wheel appeared from the void. The wheel had six tracks, each of which was slowly rotating. With each rotation, countless beings were reborn, died, and rose and fell within it.

The Great Liberation Wheel!

The cycle of the six realms, the cycle of birth and death—this is Hong Yi's ultimate understanding of the word "reincarnation." As the wheel spins, it can cast all living beings into reincarnation, from which they can never escape.

With all four divine artifacts unleashed, the Temple of Saints suppressed the center, the Bridge to the Other Shore connected time and space, the Immortal Monument stabilized the four directions, and the Great Wheel of Liberation turned in reincarnation. The four resonated with each other, forming an unparalleled grand formation that firmly protected Hong Yi in the center.

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

"So what if you have four divine artifacts? Today I'll show you what true power is!"

He raised his hand and pointed, and the Eternal Kingdom crashed down.

In that instant, the entire ancient battlefield in the starry sky trembled.

Countless shattered continents were pulverized by that terrifying pressure, and even the chaotic energy was flattened and turned into the most primordial nothingness.

The moment the Eternal Kingdom collided with the four divine artifacts, a deafening roar erupted.

The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the entire Yangshen World and the Three Thousand Great Worlds, drawing shocked gazes from countless beings and billions of creatures.

At the center of the collision, the void shattered layer by layer, and chaotic energy surged out, only to be evaporated by the aftershocks of the collision.

Time seemed to freeze; everything was annihilated and vanished in that terrifying impact.

Hong Yi groaned and coughed up blood again.

The Temple of Saints trembled violently, and the ancient runes on its surface went out one after another.

Countless cracks appeared on the bridge to the other side, and the river of time beneath it surged violently, its waters flowing backward.

The cracks on the immortal monument have widened, and the three stone tablets are teetering on the verge of collapse.

The Great Liberation Wheel is rotating slower and slower, and the illusory image of the six realms of reincarnation flickers uncertainly.

The four divine artifacts were surprisingly at a disadvantage!

However, Meng Shenji was relentless in his pursuit of power, and the Eternal Kingdom pressed down once again, this time with even greater ferocity and tyranny.

Hong Yi gritted his teeth and desperately circulated the I Ching, causing hexagrams to fly out from his body and empower the four divine artifacts.

But Meng Shenji's power was too strong; that ball of flesh from the Emperor's Nirvana granted him a physical body and a soul that surpassed those of the Yang God.

Although he did not truly manifest the Dao of the Other Shore, he did indeed step into the realm of power of the Other Shore.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Collisions and impacts came one after another.

Hong Yi continued to retreat, the blood at the corner of his mouth increasing, and the light of the four divine artifacts growing dimmer.

Finally, after the seventeenth collision.

Click!

A crack appeared on the door of the Temple of Saints.

Although the crack was thin, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, giving Hong Yi a deep sense of powerlessness.

He looked up at the figure shrouded in dark golden immortal light in the distance, and then looked around at the universe of all living beings that had been ravaged by battle.

The starry sky shattered, the continent was annihilated, and countless lives were wiped out in this battle.

Although he tried his best to control and avoid it, at this level, any residual effect is enough to destroy a world. How could he completely protect it?

He looked at the starlight bait floating in the void, and at the fishing line extending from the starlight bait, connecting to an unknown space-time.

At the end of the fishing line, a blurry figure could be vaguely seen.

The figure sat cross-legged in an unknown place, holding a green bamboo pole, quietly "watching" him.

Hong Yi suddenly understood.

From the very beginning, it was all a setup.

The arrival of Meng Shenji, the appearance of that dark red fleshy ball, and their battle—the shattering of the universe and all living beings—

Everything was within that person's expectations.

Everything he did was simply forcing himself to make a choice.

Either watch as the universe is completely destroyed, or watch as the "everyone is a dragon" concept you created becomes a bubble.

Or what?

Hong Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any anger or resentment in them, only a calm that seemed to have seen through everything.

"Since this is what you wanted—"

He spoke, his voice not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears, and even carried to the unknown end of the fishing line.

"Then I will grant your wish!"
