Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality

Click to begin your wondrous journey in "Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Eternity".

The last bit of energy in the sky dissipated, and more than a dozen powerful beings were completely annihilated.

Li Chenzhou remained indifferent, and the Gate of Immortality trembled, with chaotic energy surging out from within.

Blood mist, shattered fragments of laws, and even the life imprints of those powerful beings who had not yet completely dissipated after their fall were all devoured.

This is not a simple killing, but a more fundamental form of plunder, turning everything of the opponent into nourishing resources.

This is more demonic than the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and more terrifying than the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone devouring all living beings during the Dark Turmoil.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art can only devour the essence of a body. Even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone only dares to absorb the essence of living beings. The deeper laws and imprints are beyond the reach of the human realm.

Even though the Hunyuan Jade Scroll is derived from the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture and the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, it is still impossible to do so now.

But the Gate of Immortality is possible. The Gate of Immortality is not a living being; its main divine material is the source of the primordial energy of all things, fused with the Wheel of Reincarnation, and further enlightened by that Great Celestial Venerable.

Although it is only a king-level divine weapon, its essence is already beyond imagination.

The Gate to Immortality shares the same origin as Li Chenzhou, so he can improve himself by comprehending the Gate to Immortality.

This profound mystery surpasses even imperial weapons and celestial artifacts...

Countless fragmented images, thoughts, and even deeply buried memories flooded into Li Chenzhou's mind.

He closed his eyes and focused on sorting through the information.

Within a few breaths, the cause and effect of this ambush were clear to him.

"So that's how it is... It wasn't a simple vendetta or greed. The Yao Guang Holy Land actually suspects that I possess... a Chaos Body?"

From those refined fragments of memory, he gleaned the instructions of the ruthless lineage of the Yao Guang Holy Land:

At all costs, capture the target alive and verify his physical origin. If he is indeed a Chaos Body, use him as a tonic for the Holy Son of Yao Guang, and forge an invincible foundation for eternity.

"You intend to use me as a powerful medicine to nourish Yao Guang?"

Li Chenzhou's lips curled into a sneer, his aura growing ever more profound, subtly resonating with the fundamental laws of this world.

He didn't linger; he took a step forward, and his figure merged into the void.

Looking back over the past four years, the Eastern Wilderness has been turbulent.

At that time, Li Chenzhou was still in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, but he had already shown his talent.

Outside the tomb of the Azure Emperor, he forcefully killed a great figure from the Yao Guang Holy Land and even shattered the foundation of the Yao Guang Holy Son, who was known as invincible among his generation, almost crippling him!

The entire Eastern Wilderness was shaken; the battle between the Yao Guang Holy Land and Li Chenzhou was now almost a fight to the death.

The sacred land has been humiliated and is naturally determined to avenge itself.

However, no one expected that just over a year later, Li Chenzhou would become a Dao-Slaying King.

Absolutely shocking!

Even more unbelievable is that one of his avatars almost killed the Golden-Winged Roc King.

The news sent shockwaves through BeiDou.

Such combat power at the Dao-Slaying Realm is beyond common sense.

It was at this moment that the Ruthless Clan once again set their sights on Li Chenzhou.

They perused ancient books and deduced the secrets of heaven.

A guess has surfaced:

Li Chenzhou's cultivation speed was unbelievable, his combat power was invincible among those of the same level, and his physical body and primordial spirit were stronger than imagined. All these signs surprisingly matched the chaotic body recorded in ancient books.

The Chaos Body, the first physique in all ages, ignores the suppression of the Imperial Laws and can defy the heavens to attain the Dao.

Only the innate Dao body and sacred embryo can be compared to it; even the perfected Devouring Heaven Demon Art is nothing more than cultivating a chaotic body.

What would happen if the Devouring Heaven Demon Art were used to devour an existing Chaos Body?

This temptation is irresistible to the ruthless lineage who believe in the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Thus, old grudges and new greed intertwined.

They not only wanted to avenge their past grievances, but also wanted to seize this opportunity to capture Li Chenzhou, this "supreme medicine," devour his essence, and cultivate their true divine embryo.

So they incited other holy lands that feared Li Chenzhou to join forces in killing him.

Even if Li Chenzhou has severed his Dao, so what? In the hundreds of thousands of years, how many kings has Yao Guang annihilated?

The miracle of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron was like a mad drug, injected into the bloodline of the ruthless people.

The combined power of 50,000 years of sentient beings' thoughts and prayers has forged the ultimate imperial weapon, a feat that can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled.

Let them firmly believe that destiny is not necessarily beyond their control.

Even though some holy lands that possess the inheritance of the Great Emperor scoffed at this, a fanatical belief that human will can conquer nature had already taken root within Yaoguang.

They longed to replicate this miracle, and in their eyes, Li Chenzhou, who was suspected to be a "chaotic entity," was a walking, supreme elixir.

However, the scene outside the Holy City that day, where Li Chenzhou drove the Qi of the Hengyu Furnace to soar into the sky, made them hesitate.

This involves another supreme imperial weapon, especially one related to the ancient Jiang family, so they have no choice but to be cautious.

Chaotic body again They did not want to see a full-scale war with the Jiang family as a result.

"His origins must be found out." Deep within the holy land, a living fossil issued the order.

Then, a divination master with white hair and beard was invited out.

In Beidou, the ultimate forces that have stood for hundreds of thousands of years have a foundation that goes far beyond their overt military strength.

Source Masters explore the earth's treasures, while Celestial Masters observe the river of fate; the two are like the eyes of a sacred land, discerning light and darkness and averting calamities.

This diviner stepped into the ancient altar, burned his lifespan, and used his heart's blood as a guide to deduce the secrets of heaven.

What he wanted to deduce was the deepest relationship between Li Chenzhou and the Jiang family.

The runes on the altar burned brightly, reflecting countless illusions.

He witnessed the turmoil in the Holy City and the protection of a wisp of energy from the Hengyu Furnace, but when he traced the origins, what he saw was not the bond of blood, but rather something more like... mutual appreciation.

Or perhaps, a brief intertwining of cause and effect?

Finally, the starlight faded, and the celestial strategist, pale-faced, coughed up blood incessantly.

"This person is like a rootless duckweed, not of the same origin as the Jiang family, and has no imperial family protecting him."

Upon hearing this, the last remaining doubts of the Holy Land's leadership were dispelled.

Ecstasy! Greed!

The last bit of caution was instantly overwhelmed.

"Eighteen powerful figures! Enough to suppress and kill a novice who has just entered the Dao-Slaying Realm!"

"Capture him, strip away the primordial chaos, and I, Yao Guang, will create a second miracle!"

Judging from common sense, they believed that Li Chenzhou had set up a trap that was bound to kill them.

With his divine sense like a knife, Li Chenzhou dissected the fragments of memory he had refined, and a smile appeared on his lips.

It seemed like mockery, yet also like pity.

"A lineage with hundreds of thousands of years of history, having witnessed the vicissitudes of life, could not overcome the greed in its heart."

His gaze was directed toward the Yao Guang Holy Land, as if piercing through the void, and he saw those so-called high-ranking officials who were excited because of the "Chaotic Body".

"The so-called miracle of the Imperial Weapon has given you the illusion that you can control everything? Little do you know, once greed arises, your mind is clouded, and you can't even perform the most basic assessment of the situation?"

In his eyes, these sacred sites were like sharks swooping in, completely oblivious to the fact that their prey had long since transformed into primordial behemoths.

Their divination of celestial secrets, when faced with true cause and effect, is utterly ridiculous, like blind men touching an elephant.

"Thinking that eighteen powerful figures are an overwhelming force? Blinded by greed, blinded by greed, they are nothing but withered bones sent to their deaths."

He possessed a restrained aura, yet exuded an indifference that transcended all living beings.

"In the past, my abilities were insufficient, and I had to rely on others to maneuver. But now..."

Li Chenzhou slowly clenched his fist, with chaotic energy swirling between his fingers.

"I stand right here; do you think you can withstand a fight?"

He took a step forward, and his figure merged into the void.

The liquidation has begun.

……

Three days later, in the Holy City of the Northern Region.

The sky was torn apart by a crimson divine light.

A long spear pierced the air and struck the city wall of the holy city.

Boom-!

The muffled sound was not the clang of metal against metal, but a collision of the fundamental rules of the Dao.

The holy city's array patterns revived, and countless runes lit up, resisting the attack.

The spear did not actually penetrate the wall; upon contact with the light barrier, it exploded into a phantom of a sea of ​​blood.

In the sea of ​​blood, eighteen twisted figures floated and wailed.

The images of the powerful figures who participated in the siege of Li Chenzhou were conjured up and reflected in the center of the sea of ​​blood.

The scene was extremely horrific!

As we can see, these powerful rulers who usually looked down on their own territories were forced to burn everything at the last moment, attempting to destroy themselves and perish together with their enemies.

Their principles are crumbling, their physical bodies are turning to light, the chains of divine order are flying everywhere, and the energy fluctuations are enough to annihilate mountains and rivers...

This is the most ruthless method a cultivator can use: sacrificing their own Dao fruit as a offering to trigger the rules of heaven and earth to backfire on their opponent, resulting in mutual destruction.

However, all the struggles were in vain.

In the illusion, Li Chenzhou simply stood indifferently in the center of the storm.

The turbulent currents of law swept up to three feet in front of him and then automatically vanished.

They couldn't even lift a corner of his clothes.

He watched coldly as these powerful beings burned everything, watched them detonate themselves... yet he couldn't even be made to take a single step back.

Ultimately, the image froze on the moment when the light of these powerful beings was at its most intense, yet they could not shake Li Chenzhou.

Their expressions shifted from resolute determination to disbelief, and finally to utter despair, their emotions magnified infinitely.

Even a Dao Transformation cultivator couldn't harm him in the slightest!

despair!

What a despairing gap this is!

"Cause and effect begin here, and slaughter will end here. Within three months, the orthodox tradition will be crushed."

As the voice faded, the blood-red spear transformed into a declaration of war, brimming with killing intent.

Each word was scarlet and glaring, radiating an invisible killing intent.

"My God! That's... a powerful being who has attained the Dao. They've been forced to commit suicide together."

"Li Chenzhou! He's actually this strong? He can suppress all eighteen holy lands with a single hand?"

"That's insane! In that scene... there's the Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Sect, the Supreme Elder of the Great Evolution Sect, the Four Symbols Holy Land, and the Yao Guang Holy Land."

After a moment of deathly silence, the entire holy city erupted in jubilation.

Everyone understood that Li Chenzhou was announcing a bloody storm by using this almost "public" method.

He not only wants to kill people, but also to destroy their spirits; he wants to challenge the holy land to the death.

……

Three months!

First, break through Yin and Yang, then fight in the Eastern Wilderness! This battle will be fought to the death!

The challenge was simple, direct, and domineering, leaving no room for negotiation.

The message spread instantly across BeiDou.

"What terrifying fighting spirit! Who is this boy? Li Chenzhou? When did such a killing god emerge in the Northern Region? He actually wants to fight the Yin Yang Sect alone."

"The Yin-Yang Sect has stood in the Central Plains for tens of thousands of years, and even possesses ancient sacred weapons... What makes this boy so special?"

"I seem to see a young emperor rising up, paving his invincible path to the throne with the corpses of the holy land."

The entire Big Dipper was discussing it, and cultivators from all walks of life were discussing it even more directly.

A burly man slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it! Really? A seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid, going to wipe out the Yin-Yang Sect all by himself? That's an ancient sect with a powerful expert from the Sendai Secret Realm overseeing it!"

A lean cultivator next to him lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It's absolutely true! My seventh great-uncle's third niece's Daoist partner is an outer disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land. I heard that the Holy Land is in an uproar. Some living fossils say that this kid may have some kind of forbidden physique that has been lost for a long time."

"hiss--!"

In Beidou, special physical attributes often mean invincibility among those of the same level, and even the ability to defeat those of higher levels.

"First destroy the Yin-Yang Holy Land and the Dayan Holy Land, then fight the Eastern Wilderness... What a grand ambition!"

Even within ancient clans, ancient divine thoughts intertwine.

Deep within the Ji family compound, whispers echoed: "Alas, this person has a grudge against our Ji family, but he has already gained considerable influence, so it is not advisable to make him an enemy. Let's see if we can mediate this conflict through the Jiang family."

Expectation!

question!

The entire BeiDou system was swept up in a frenzy.

No one can ignore this challenge.

Li Chenzhou, this name has a kind of magic, making all cultivators' blood boil. It is simply unimaginable that a mortal body could defy a holy land.

All eyes turned toward the Yin-Yang Sect.

Three months is but a fleeting moment for a cultivator.

They were all waiting, waiting for that boy to rise like a comet and illuminate the night sky.

Or will they be like moths drawn to a flame, becoming yet another skeleton at the foot of the holy land?

Inside the stone gambling workshop, source stones were piled up like mountains, filled with spiritual energy, but at this moment people's attention was no longer on finding the source and identifying the stones.

The news was so shocking that everyone's hands, which were about to cut the stone, froze in mid-air.

"Unbelievable... The Yin-Yang Sect has stood strong in the Northern Region for tens of thousands of years, yet it has been forced to use its 'foundation' by just one person?"

The words "foundation" carried immense weight, and the jade gambling shop fell silent instantly.

For ordinary cultivators, this represents the most unfathomable terror of the Holy Land.

It is enough to overturn mountains and rivers, and to extinguish the sun and moon.

"It's not just that the sacred weapon was stolen; the replacement of a holy ruler is a momentous event in itself!"

Someone added in a low voice, pointing out the crux of the problem: "The Yin-Yang Sect's attempt to block information is nothing but self-deception. How can such turmoil be kept secret from other holy sites and major religions?"

According to fragmented rumors about that battle, the Yin-Yang Sect made a move ahead of time. Two old kings with little lifespan left cast the Yin-Yang Death Curse, attempting to take Li Chenzhou down with them, but they were blasted apart by his punch, turning into a shower of light.

This was shocking enough, but what was even more chilling was what followed—

"A true holy weapon! Surpassing even the king-level divine weapons, giving birth to a god, yet it was blocked by Li Chenzhou's gate. With another palm strike, a king was shattered..."

One cultivator clicked his tongue in amazement, "That artifact is called the Gate of Eternal Life? What immense power! Just what level of artifact is it that can withstand a sacred weapon without sustaining any damage?"

This is absolutely terrifying!

Such a loss would be devastating for any holy site.

Sacred weapons are entities that suppress destiny. The disappearance of even one means that the Yin-Yang Sect's deterrent power is greatly reduced, which explains why they keep it a secret.

"The reckoning has only just begun..." Someone looked in several directions in the Eastern Wilderness, their eyes filled with complex emotions. "This is just the Yin-Yang Sect; there are three more supreme holy lands behind them. Do you really think they can sweep through everything in their path?"

"Difficult, as difficult as climbing to heaven!"

A middle-aged cultivator shook his head. "The Yin-Yang Sect has suffered heavy losses this time, and it may not easily use its resources. However, the holy lands behind it are prepared and will not give it any more chances. The so-called 'resources' may be ancient saints in slumber, or complete and flawless legendary holy weapons, or even incomplete array diagrams left by the Great Emperor... Any one of these, if it were to appear, would be enough to annihilate all enemies."

"The ancient sages... if they were truly awakened, it would create an earth-shattering situation!"

Some people sighed, their tone filled with awe and fear.

The saying "below even a sage are all ants" is no exaggeration.

Once an ancient sage is discovered, the entire landscape of the Big Dipper will change.

"Li Chenzhou is too sharp and outspoken. If he could have endured for hundreds of years and waited for him to truly grow, perhaps..." someone lamented.

"Endure?"

Immediately, someone retorted, with fervor.

"Look at his unstoppable momentum, does he seem like someone who can endure? This is true invincible belief, to tread on the bones of the holy land to forge his supreme foundation. I'm looking forward to seeing if he can force those dormant 'foundations' to appear ahead of time."

The discussion inside the jade gambling shop became even more heated, with people debating Li Chenzhou's chances of winning.

The entire Eastern Wilderness, and even the Big Dipper, was gripped by a tense anticipation.
