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

"Physical Achievement!"

Sendai Secret Realm, a new world at every step.

The first level of Sendai tempers one's divine consciousness, allowing one to see oneself; the second level unlocks potential, allowing one to explore divine treasures; and upon reaching the realm of severing the Dao, the embryonic form of one's own Great Dao is conceived within one's body.

Upon reaching the realm of a sage, one begins to absorb the rules of heaven and earth to fill the framework of one's own Great Dao. Therefore, a sage can absorb the power of stars and traverse the boundless universe.

However, Li Chenzhou's "physical ascension to sainthood" has embarked on an unprecedented path.

He did not follow the conventional path of perceiving the universe and constructing the Great Dao.

Instead, he used force to break through the laws, completely opening up the 480 million acupoints in the human body, and forcibly creating the prototype of the "inner universe" within the physical body.

This "inner universe" is itself a fruit of the Great Dao that is in a perpetual cycle.

It no longer needs to deliberately imitate the laws of nature, because it itself is evolving Yin and Yang, circulating the Five Elements, and creating and destroying stars.

It can spontaneously extract inspiration and essence from the vast universe to nourish itself.

At this moment, Li Chenzhou's level of life underwent a fundamental leap.

His physical body was no longer merely a shell to hold his primordial spirit, but had transformed into a vessel for a world, a supreme Dao artifact.

The power of stars is no longer an external energy that needs to be refined, but rather flows naturally within the meridians of his "inner universe".

The essence of heaven and earth is no longer a resource to replenish what is consumed, but rather the "breath" that sustains the operation of this small world.

"He...he...does he still have rivals on the Emperor's Road?" A powerful figure's voice trembled as he discerned some clues but could not fully comprehend this situation.

"There is no need to deliberately comprehend the Dao, because the physical body itself forms the Dao; there is no need to absorb star power, because the acupoints throughout the body generate stars themselves. This... is unimaginable."

Li Chenzhou stood in the center of the sea of ​​thunder, feeling an unprecedented power within his body.

With a slight thought, the portals around him shone brightly, creating a deeper resonance with the external universe.

He seemed to have become a bridge connecting the microcosm of the physical body with the macrocosm of the universe, and every move he made could attract the great power of heaven and earth.

This kind of "physical sanctification" is not the traditional concept of a saint.

Rather, it is a physical body that precedes the primordial spirit and the understanding of the Great Dao, possessing the characteristics and power of a sage or even a higher level in advance.

Li Chenzhou's eyes darted around like two inextinguishable divine lamps, piercing through illusions and illuminating the truth.

As far as the eye could see, the Yin-Yang Sect's headquarters below had been reduced to scorched earth in the sea of ​​thunder. With the Heaven-Deceiving Array broken, all the disciples and members of the sect were swept into the great calamity. Those who lacked talent and cultivation were instantly annihilated.

Only a few powerful auras were still struggling, among which the Xuan Yin Ancient Saint was the most conspicuous.

He was bathed in holy blood, roaring as he unleashed various secret treasures and holy arts, causing death energy and lightning to collide wildly.

However, the heavenly tribulation was merciless, and its power increased dramatically with the cultivation level of the intervener. A world-destroying lightning bolt struck down, and this ancient saint was reduced to ashes.

Li Chenzhou's gaze was indifferent, sweeping over them in a single glance.

After his physical body became a saint, his spiritual senses underwent a transformation. His gaze could not only penetrate space, but also perceive the trajectory of laws and the structure of the world.

Their gaze traversed the void, finally settling on a secret location.

It was a peaceful and tranquil little world, created by the founder of the Yin-Yang Sect, a great sage whose achievements were comparable to creation, and also the place where he passed away.

Celestial music drifted in the sky, and the Pure Land radiated boundless light, with countless auspicious rays and divine brilliance showering down upon it.

The grass was lush and green, the flowers swayed and glowed with the light of dawn, the spring water gurgled and flowed with the essence of life, and countless crystal petals danced in the air, like a dream, like a fairyland.

Beneath this magnificent scene lies the true essence of the Yin-Yang School.

On the Pure Land, there were more than a dozen mountain-sized blocks of divine source material, each containing a terrifying figure, like a sleeping ferocious beast.

At the very center of the small world, a massive divine source block emanated a terrifying holy aura.

It contains a being even more ancient than the Ancient Saint of Xuan Yin.

The entire small world was shrouded in even more exquisite Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns, which isolated it from the external Heavenly Tribulation and thus preserved it.

Li Chenzhou's gaze turned icy as he looked towards the massive divine source at the core, where he saw the sleeping Old Saint.

"The Ancient Saint of Profound Yin is nothing more than this. I wonder what you, this old man, will do?"

A sea of ​​lightning crashed down, with countless bolts of lightning roaring and raging, tearing countless black cracks into the void, and the earth had already sunk into oblivion.

In the center of this apocalyptic scene, Li Chenzhou remained unmoved, allowing the lightning to cleanse his body.

His body glowed radiantly, every inch of his flesh and blood seemingly cast from celestial gold. When lightning struck it, sparks of Dao principles burst forth.

Even more terrifying was the faint roar of the Great Dao emanating from his body. A furnace constructed of laws was floating in his Sea of ​​Wheels, with the phantom images of the sun, moon, and stars imprinted on it, spewing out the aura of heavenly tribulation.

Thousands of lightning bolts struck down, but instead of harming him in the slightest, they were all swallowed up by this furnace.

The chaotic energy in the furnace surged and refined the lightning, extracting drops of crystal-clear lightning tribulation liquid containing the profound mysteries of life and death.

These divine liquids washed over his limbs and bones, nourishing his internal organs, and even bathed the primordial spirit between his brows, making it more solid and radiant.

"Using calamity as fuel, and the body as a furnace... Is this some kind of divine elixir to be refined?" Someone in the distance exclaimed, their Dao heart almost shattering.

Li Chenzhou's primordial spirit stepped out from the platform, his entire body surrounded by lightning, as if the Thunder Emperor had descended upon the world.

With a single breath, the sea of ​​thunder, spanning a hundred miles, transformed into a celestial river of thunder, which it swallowed whole.

The furnace then contracted, and countless runes entered its body, while its primordial spirit returned to the celestial platform, settling in the center.

The next moment, his eyes snapped open, his left eye manifesting the Yin of Annihilation and his right eye manifesting the Sun of Creation, two golden beams tearing through the sky.

The holy body trembled slightly, and a wave that made the saint's soul tremble swept across the eight directions.

"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

With a soft shout, the sea of ​​lightning surged back and was frantically devoured by the cosmic vortex formed by his 480 million acupoints.

At that moment, he seemed to transform into the center of a black hole, from which even light could not escape, and the energy of the entire world was converging upon him.

Li Chenzhou looked at the divine land miniature world deep within the Yin Yang Sect. He did not make a move immediately, but instead opened his mouth and inhaled again.

"boom!"

This time, it was not about devouring the sea of ​​lightning, but about merging the ten-thousand-foot-tall lightning tribulation Dao principles that permeated the heavens and earth with the boundless essence of the universe within his own body.

The void within a radius of a thousand miles collapsed wildly around his right fist, as if even time itself was being extracted and condensed into a single point of destructive divine light.

This was no ordinary fist force, but a universe of lightning tribulation compressed to its extreme.

"He... he refined the Heavenly Tribulation into a fist imprint?" In the distance, an old emperor from the Central Continent Dynasty was horrified, and the heirloom jade cup in his hand was crushed into dust by an invisible aura.

"The physical body is the furnace, and all paths are the fuel. This is something that even the great emperors of ancient times could not do in their youth!" A living fossil's voice trembled, revealing a deeper level of terror.

Li Chenzhou's figure resonated with the Great Dao, and his right fist slowly pushed out. It seemed slow, but it instantly pierced through the boundaries of time and space.

Wherever the fist passes, the void does not shatter, but transforms into the most basic yin and yang energies, and then returns to chaos.

The Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns surrounding the Yin-Yang Sect's sacred land dissolved layer by layer, unable to withstand this attack.

Click!

The barrier of the small world was shattered with a single punch, exposing it to the heavenly tribulation.

That fist force, like any of your favorite infinite types of heavens, we have it all, welcome to visit. Ignoring spatial distance, the old saint within the core divine source block had just opened his eyes when it struck his brow.

puff!

This was a strike that defied all logic.

Even a saint at the peak of their power would tremble before facing it.

An unparalleled terror is about to descend!

The entire world groaned in agony. Centered on Li Chenzhou's fist, the void was torn open. Before the terrifying spatial rift could spread, it was directly smoothed out by the Dao principles within the fist's force, restoring order.

Li Chenzhou merged with the Dao, and the light of his fist crushed down with the will to create heaven and earth. All ancient inheritances and sacred laws seemed so fragile under this blow.

The effect was devastating.

Click!

The Divine Source Block shattered upon impact, not by exploding, but by being completely disintegrated from its most fundamental structure, transforming into a misty innate essence.

Before the old saint could even fully awaken, Li Chenzhou's fist had already struck his sage platform.

boom--

The force of the punch erupted like a newly created chaotic universe bursting apart, releasing a light that made the sun, moon, and stars pale in comparison.

A terrifying wave swept across the entire realm.

"Ugh—!"

A roar, containing endless pain and fury.

The fist light subsided slightly, revealing a shocking hole between the old saint's eyebrows, from which holy blood gushed forth like a spring.

Even more terrifying is that, centered on his Sendai, cracks spread across the Great Dao like a spider web, and the foundation of the Holy Dao was almost broken by this punch.

"Young man!"

The extreme damage completely ignited the old saint's rage.

He has already progressed far beyond the realm of sainthood. Although his power has been sealed away as a foundation, he still has ample lifespan. It is not impossible for him to become a saint king or even a great saint in the future.

In his younger days, he was also a peerless genius.

It let out a furious roar, and the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles resonated. A terrifying holy might, far pure and vast than that of the Xuan Yin Ancient Saint and approaching the level of a Saint King, erupted, instantly freezing the shattered void.

With a single palm strike, the lines on his palm resembled the veins of heaven and earth, with yin and yang intertwining and flowing within his palm, evolving into a world-destroying diagram.

It appeared slow, yet it sealed off the heavens and earth, containing the supreme holy might of suppression, freezing the souls of all the powerful figures watching from afar, giving rise to a sense of despair from which they could not resist.

"You forced me to be born prematurely, and even cut off my path... then I will use your blood, this peerless monster, to sacrifice for my path!"

Faced with the furious attack of this old saint who had truly reached the pinnacle of the Saint Realm and even touched the edge of the Saint King realm, Li Chenzhou's fighting spirit surged.

The strange phenomena of the universe within his body reappeared, and the 480 million acupoints were like the stars in the heavens, running wildly and absorbing the boundless essence from the universe.

Li Chenzhou's eyes burned brightly, and his blood and qi roared like billions of true dragons, directly absorbing the sea of ​​lightning into his body.

His acupoints roared like furnaces, forging endless lightning into a galaxy of lightning tribulations that coiled around his fist.

The punch was no longer a simple bolt of lightning, but a condensed universe of destruction.

Boom!

The moment the fists and palms collided, the entire world seemed to freeze.

Immediately afterwards, the chaotic energy exploded, and the earth, water, fire, and wind recreated their previous state. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were silently annihilated, and even those watching from afar, protected by secret treasures, were shaken to the point of coughing up blood.

The showdown came quickly and ended even faster!

The primordial aura of heavenly tribulation within Li Chenzhou's fist instantly invaded the old saint's nearly shattered altar.

Using the force of the recoil, he transformed into a beam of divine light and instantly fled thousands of miles away.

The true cataclysmic calamity has now officially descended.

As soon as the first layer of ordinary lightning subsided, ninety-nine humanoid lightning bolts appeared in the void.

They were bathed in rosy light, their faces blurred, yet they exuded the supreme Dao charm of different eras, as if the Dao seals of all the Dao-slaying kings throughout history had manifested.

Even more terrifying is that behind these humanoid lightning bolts, a palace floats and sinks in the sea of ​​lightning, suppressing eternity.

Above Li Chenzhou's head, the phantom of the Gate of Immortality surged, and chaotic energy descended from within, resonating with his physical universe.

He let out a long roar and charged towards that "Heavenly Court". His fist imprints were as big as mountains. Each strike shattered the laws of the humanoid lightning and caused the ancient palace to shake violently.

Meanwhile, the old saint who was forced to emerge from the world found himself in dire straits.

The Heavenly Tribulation Imprint left by Li Chenzhou on his Sendai provides precise navigation for the Heavenly Tribulation.

Despite its frantic inscription of heaven-deceiving array patterns, the power of the heavenly tribulation was only weakened by 30%, with the remaining 70% transforming into billions of divine chains of order, instantly binding it into a cocoon.

"No! This saint is not reconciled!" the old saint roared, burning his holy blood to evolve the Yin-Yang Great Dao Diagram, trying to break free of the chains.

But within the sea of ​​thunder, even more terrifying entities were stirred up.

The Chaos Thunder Spirit in the form of a true dragon, the Nirvana Heavenly Fire in the form of a celestial phoenix, and even a phantom flying knife imprinted with the Dao mark of "Slaying Immortals" all manifested and slashed down at him.

Li Chenzhou's tribulation underwent a transformation due to "physical sainthood." Although the humanoid lightning maintained the Dao-slaying realm, its combat awareness and the sophistication of its Dao techniques were comparable to the Great Emperor returning to his youth.

Furthermore, a bell filled with chaotic energy poured down from the depths of the Heavenly Court, each drop as heavy as a mountain, capable of crushing the void.

He was locked in a fierce battle, his physical body pounding against the cosmic lightning with a deafening roar, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, his 480 million acupoints were frantically absorbing the essence of the lightning tribulation, and in each acupoint, it seemed as if a star was evolving in the lightning.

This was the ultimate baptism. Li Chenzhou fought a bloody battle in the sea of ​​lightning, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Li Chenzhou let out a long roar that shook the universe, his black hair cascading wildly like a waterfall, each strand crackling with destructive lightning.

He no longer passively fought back, but took the initiative to attack. His figure transformed into an eternal divine light in the sea of ​​lightning, rushing towards the deepest part of the lightning tribulation.

He swung his fists, no longer a simple move, but a manifestation of the Tao.

A phantom of the universe floated above his fist. In that universe, the primordial light pierced the darkness, the yin and yang energies differentiated into the clear and the turbid, earth, water, fire, and wind settled in the four directions, the five elements rotated to create life, and the eight trigrams arranged and combined to deduce the birth and death of all things...

All the supreme Daoist principles that created the world were condensed into this one punch.

boom!

boom!

boom!

He maneuvered with unparalleled skill, and wherever his fist struck, humanoid lightning bolts exploded one after another, transforming back into laws and being absorbed by his fist.

He smashed the massive bell, which was brimming with chaotic energy, with his fist, and his spirit broke free from the constraints of common sense, stepping into a mysterious and profound realm.

It has surpassed divine restrictions!

This is an indescribable state; his will, body, and the Great Dao are perfectly unified, as if he has transformed into the creator of the rules of heaven and earth.

With every gesture, they were no longer merely drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, but were writing the rules of heaven.

As long as this "momentum" is not forcibly interrupted, he can remain in this place.

This was an extremely brutal duel!

Numerous phantom images of young emperors from different eras, standing tall in the forbidden realm of gods, launched a deadly attack on Li Chenzhou.

True dragons soared through the sky, celestial phoenixes ripped through the heavens, and unicorns trod the world; all sorts of astonishing phenomena forced the sea of ​​thunder apart.

Li Chenzhou was covered in blood, his white clothes were tattered, and his bones were exposed, but his fighting spirit grew stronger.

He cleaved the universe with his fists and traversed the cycle of reincarnation with his feet, annihilating one humanoid lightning bolt after another.

His inner universe was frantically devouring the essence of the lightning tribulation and the shattered imperial laws, undergoing an unimaginable transformation.
