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

"puff--!"

An elder at the half-step Great Power level suddenly clutched his chest, his face instantly turning from red to gold. He looked down in horror at his chest.

His heart was pounding wildly, almost bursting out of his body, and then he coughed up a mouthful of blood and his breath weakened.

This is just the beginning.

As if triggering a chain reaction, disciples below the Dao Palace Secret Realm within the Holy Land fell in droves.

"What kind of demonic art is this? A curse?" A peak master was horrified and filled with fear.

Before the enemy even arrived, they had already suffered heavy casualties. This method was so terrifying that it chilled them to the bone.

Panic spread like a plague.

A thought popped into my head, one that filled me with despair.

If this rhythm continues to intensify, when Li Chenzhou's true form descends, how much fighting power will these so-called great powers and peak masters still have left?

Will they, like these disciples, be so easily defeated?

The Great Evolutionary Saint Lord's eyes twitched violently, and he shouted:

"Summon the Holy Sword! Unleash all laws, and establish order in the universe!"

hum-

A sword cry resounded from the depths of the holy land, instantly overpowering the "Dao Sound," and the essence of the entire Dayan Holy Land was in homage.

An indescribably brilliant sword light shot into the sky, like the first ray of light to pierce through the darkness and dispel all the oppression.

Amidst the flashing sword light, an ancient sword bobbed uncertainly.

The sword's blade is not a single metallic color, but rather presents a strange texture that encompasses all things, with countless patterns naturally arising and disappearing within it, evolving and deducing.

This is the legendary sacred weapon of the Great Yan Holy Land, the Great Yan Sacred Sword.

Legend has it that it was created by the ancestor of the sacred land, an ancient sage who was proficient in the way of deducing heavenly secrets, and was forged by the supreme Dao of Derivation.

Around the Holy Sword, the void spontaneously generated earth, water, fire, wind, yin and yang, the five elements, the eight trigrams and the nine palaces, and all sorts of laws and phenomena that were constantly arising and ceasing.

The cultivators watching from afar gasped. The fact that the Holy Land had summoned its sacred weapon was shocking, but also quite reasonable.

"The Yin-Yang Sect's fate serves as a stark warning!"

An elder from the holy land said in a deep voice, "The Yin-Yang Sect has used every means at its disposal, including the Yin-Yang Mirror, yet it still cannot protect them. How dare the Great Evolution Holy Land be the slightest bit careless?"

Everyone was awed.

Indeed, the scene of the Yin-Yang Sect's destruction was still fresh in everyone's mind. At that time, the Yin-Yang Mirror hung high in the sky, its surface flowing with Yin and Yang energies, its power shaking the eight directions, yet it still could not stop Li Chenzhou's advance.

The sacred mirror eventually fell into Li Chenzhou's hands, and the Yin-Yang Sect became history.

"The Great Yan Holy Land has been driven to a dead end," a renowned figure from Zhongzhou sighed. "If they don't unleash their Holy Sword, they probably won't even have the strength to fight."

At this moment, the Great Evolution Sacred Sword hangs high in the sky, its nine-colored divine light illuminating the heavens.

The sword's blade constantly embodies the mysteries of heaven and earth; this sacred weapon, inherited from an ancient sage, possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary sacred artifacts.

However, few people in the crowd were optimistic about the Dayan Holy Land.

Li Chenzhou has already proven with his actions that even a legendary sacred weapon cannot protect a sacred land in his presence.

"Look at the strange phenomena around that holy sword," a master from a family of Origin Arts suddenly exclaimed, "It's deducing Li Chenzhou's attack trajectory."

Various scenes constantly appeared around the Holy Sword, sometimes the starry river collapsed, and sometimes the world was created. This was to deduce the secrets of heaven and predict Li Chenzhou's next move.

Such profound techniques truly deserve the name "Great Evolution".

But considering the fate of the Yin-Yang Sect, a question inevitably arises in everyone's mind:

Can it be deduced? Even if it can be calculated, can it really be stopped?

Li Chenzhou strode forward, his steps perfectly in sync with the pulse of heaven and earth.

Wherever he passed, the strange phenomena emanating from the Great Evolution Holy Sword disintegrated, the galaxy trajectory propelled by the sword's edge changed course before him, and the yin and yang energies evolved from the sword intent flowed gently around him.

"This...how is this possible?" a senior elder exclaimed in shock.

The Great Evolutionary Lord's expression changed drastically, and the Holy Sword lost its ability to deduce in front of the opponent.

Li Chenzhou kept walking, each step landing precisely on the rhythm of heaven and earth.

The Great Evolution Holy Sword trembled, its sword light swirling wildly, attempting to re-analyze the opponent's trajectory, but it could never grasp any secrets of heaven.

"I have explored all the secrets of heaven, yet I cannot explore all the secrets of this person." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi murmured, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

Li Chenzhou walked step by step towards the Great Yan Holy Land.

As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight illuminated the world, Li Chenzhou's figure appeared.

What chilled all the spectators was that the rising sun seemed to originate from the same source as him.

He did not come under the morning sun, but rather brought the great sun with him as he swept across the land.

The radiant sun hung high behind him, moving in sync with his steps, as if it were his own vision.

"He...he is the Great Sun!"

A monk's voice trembled as he expressed the feelings in everyone's hearts—absurd yet real.

With each step Li Chenzhou took, the sun behind him rose one point higher.

His breath is the fluctuation of the great sun, and his steps are the propulsion of light.

At this moment, he is the source of light, the manifestation of the eternal sun on earth.

The Great Evolution Holy Sword trembled violently, its sword light flowing and surging at an unprecedented speed.

The void constantly evolves various phenomena that suppress light:

The moon appeared, eternal night descended, and the Nine Netherworlds opened... yet they could not stop the great sun from pressing down upon them.

"Using the sword to interpret the secrets of heaven, borrowing the laws of heaven and earth, that's right."

Li Chenzhou's voice was calm, "And I am the heavens."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire sun rose above the horizon.

The sun's corona stretched out behind him, the true fire of the sun transformed into his cloak, the void was scorched and distorted, and even the strange phenomena evolved by the Great Evolution Holy Sword melted away in the light.

Li Chenzhou walked on the sky, each step stirring up winds and clouds in all directions.

The great sun behind him was like a shadow, its dazzling golden light making him appear like an ancient god, wielding the power of light.

hum-

Between heaven and earth, the sound of the Dao resonated, as if welcoming this being who was in harmony with the Dao.

"kill!"

Within the Great Yan Sacred Land, a powerful being lost his Dao heart and nearly went mad, summoning an ancient longsword.

The sword unleashed a torrent of sword energy, its kingly aura sweeping across hundreds of miles. Countless mountains were reduced to dust under this force, and any cultivators who approached were instantly annihilated.

However, this devastating sword strike melted away like spring snow when it touched Li Chenzhou's body, not even stirring a strand of his hair.

flutter!

Li Chenzhou didn't even turn around; he merely shifted his gaze, and two golden beams shot out from his eyes, piercing through the powerful being's altar.

"Form ranks! Borrow the power of the sacred weapon!"

More than ten powerful figures roared in unison, and the Great Evolution Holy Sword hung high in the sky, unleashing countless sword beams.

The auras of the group merged, coalescing into a destructive heavenly sword that pierced the sky, containing supreme killing intent, ready to strike.

Only then did Li Chenzhou raise his eyes.

The sun behind him had just reached its zenith, radiating its most intense light.

"Even a grain of rice can shine?"

The entire sun trembled violently, and boundless solar fire poured down, colliding with the sword light that had gathered the power of a sacred weapon.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only absolute crushing.

The supreme strike unleashed by the holy weapon was as fleeting as dew or lightning before the blazing sun.

In an instant, a tremendous force erupted, tearing the universe apart.

That was no ordinary light, but a blade of rules condensed into reality, cleaving through the night.

Li Chenzhou was perfectly in sync with the pulse of heaven and earth, his aura soaring like the sun in the sky, suppressing the eight directions and six realms.

Everyone trembled with fear, even having the illusion that under that power, their physical bodies and souls would dissolve, and they would die and their souls would vanish.

Time and space stand still.

Li Chenzhou's figure resonated with the sun, filling the entire sky. With just one step, he caused the bodies of many important figures to collapse.

Just then, a vast river of divine power burst through the air and struck.

Li Chenzhou remained motionless and calmly spoke:

"town!"

The moment those two words were uttered, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to be reorganized.

Li Chenzhou did not unleash any divine power, yet the entire universe revolved according to his will. As the power of heaven and earth pressed down, the river of divine power immediately vanished.

Even more terrifying was that the bodies of several powerful beings cracked and burst with bloody light, howling in agony, before instantly turning into ashes.

Even with the protection of the sacred artifacts presided over by the Great Sage, it was difficult to change fate.

The elders of the Holy Land changed their expressions drastically, but they refused to sit idly by and wait for their deaths.

Hundreds of powerful auras soared into the sky, and the Saint-level array patterns were fully activated, aiming to suppress and kill that figure as bright as the sun.

Meanwhile, the sound of bells echoed continuously from deep within the holy site.

Hundreds of sword palaces, engraved with ancient Dao patterns, rose from the ground, blocking out the sky.

These weapons of war, forged from star cores, possess a deadly power that emanates from them, sending chills down one's spine.

"The Great Evolution Sword Formation!" a spectator exclaimed in surprise.

Inside each sword palace, thousands of cultivators infuse their cultivation into the array's core.

In an instant, hundreds of annihilating divine lights tore through the sky, leaving countless cracks in the space wherever they passed.

Even more terrifying, the Great Evolution Holy Sword began to tremble violently. With the combined efforts of dozens of powerful figures, Dao patterns appeared on the sword, and images of the sun, moon, and stars manifested.

boom--

The holy sword has fully awakened, its world-destroying power sweeping across the land.

The countless rules of swordsmanship intertwined into a vast net, crushing towards Li Chenzhou.

This power is so overwhelming that it could destroy the heavens and the earth; even a sage would perish if he were to personally descend upon it.

Li Chenzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm and undisturbed.

Faced with this offensive, Li Chenzhou remained indifferent, his fingers clenched into a fist.

A punch is thrown!

This punch, though simple and unadorned, broke through the boundaries of time and space, containing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, and traversing the heavens.

The world darkened!

That fist grew as it faced the wind, reaching hundreds of miles in an instant, obscuring the sun and moon.

The entire sky was occupied by this giant fist, and everything was about to fall into chaos.

This fist was like the embodiment of the Dao, making the hundred-odd Great Evolution Sword Palaces seem as insignificant as playthings.

With a soft sigh, that fist, filling the heavens and earth, carrying boundless divine power, crashed down.

"boom--"

Heaven and earth are upside down, stars and moon have switched places.

The fist imprint shattered the void, and countless cries of agony echoed.

Wherever the fist struck, the entire void collapsed instantly, and chaotic energy surged, reenacting the scene of creation.

The heavens shattered, transforming into an abyss of destruction.

Space crumbled inch by inch, countless cracks crisscrossed, sweeping across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

As the fist pressed down, countless cultivators from the Great Yan Holy Land turned into blood mist, and the sword palaces exploded and vanished into thin air.

The Saint-level array patterns operated wildly, but they could not resist this power that exceeded the limit. They turned into a rain of light and dissipated into the world.

Only a few powerful individuals survived thanks to the protection of the Great Evolution Holy Sword.

The powerful figures watching from afar were terrified. These sword palaces were the accumulation of the Great Yan Holy Land for hundreds of thousands of years. They had suppressed the great bandits of the Northern Region and conquered the territory of the demon race. Now, however, they were all annihilated by Li Chenzhou's punch.

"This... has he become a saint?"

"Hundreds of sword palaces! Each one was guarded by a Sendai-level expert, yet he crushed them with a mere flick of his wrist!"

"This is beyond human capability; how could such a thing exist in this world?"

No one was not shocked; every spectator was trembling with fear.

The strength Li Chenzhou displayed exceeded their comprehension; even ancient emperors could not have been so extraordinary at this age.

A giant fist obscures the sun and moon, covering the entire world.

Who in this world could do that?

This is clearly an ancient sage reappearing in the world!

The combat prowess displayed by Li Chenzhou terrified the powerful figures from all sides who were watching the battle from afar.

Before him, powerful beings were like ants, and cutting down demons was like slaughtering lambs. At this moment, countless people extinguished their schemes, for this person was like a divine dragon from the heavens, beyond their ability to calculate.

Li Chenzhou's body was surrounded by the aura of the Great Dao, perfectly in harmony with the great power of heaven and earth.

His power was fully unleashed, as if an ancient sage had personally descended, and every step he took resonated with the Great Dao.

His gaze was like lightning, fixed on the Great Evolution Holy Sword.

Under the horrified gaze of the surviving powerful beings, he disregarded the sacred weapon's domain and stepped directly into it.

The weapons forged by the Great Sage are incredibly powerful, but if not wielded by the Sage himself, they are nothing more than stubborn iron in his presence.

"Use sacred artifacts to suppress it, buying time for our inner strength to awaken!"

The Great Evolutionary Lord suppressed his fear and shouted sternly.

Dozens of powerful figures responded in unison, frantically activating their divine power.

The Great Evolution Holy Sword shone brightly, its light illuminating the ages and emanating a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

This supreme holy weapon, crafted by a great sage of the human race, incorporates the great sage's Dao fruit, making it a hundred times superior to ordinary holy weapons.

The laws of heaven and earth intertwine around the Holy Sword, its sword light covering a hundred miles, forming its own domain of swordsmanship.

Its holy might is vast and boundless, solidifying the void, seemingly capable of destroying the three thousand realms and traversing the past, present, and future.

At this critical moment of life and death, these powerful figures who usually fought each other put aside their past grievances and joined forces to activate the sacred artifact.

The aura of a saint spread, causing everything in its path to collapse; even a great king would perish.

However, all of this was in vain.

Li Chenzhou's figure blurred, and in a daze, he transformed into a virtual universe, controlling the order of time and space, and walking in the void.

He tore through the heavens and earth with his bare hands and arrived before the assembled heroes in an instant.

This is not a secret technique for traversing the void, but rather a method of breaking through spatial barriers with absolute power, without a trace of human intervention in any gesture.

It was as if a god had descended to earth, looking down upon all living beings, and walking among men without any rivals.

"Buzz—"

Pointing out with one finger.

It seemed like a casual gesture, but it created a huge dent in the space suppressed by the holy weapon.

The Great Yan Holy Lord was terrified. He found himself seemingly branded in the void, like a painting on a wall, unable to move.

Boundless killing intent surged like a reversed galaxy, pouring down upon him, filling him with unprecedented fear.

"Snapped!"

As the sound of death rang out, Li Chenzhou's fingers trembled slightly.

Blood splattered everywhere as the Holy Lord of Dayan shattered like porcelain.

"puff!"

The shattered flesh exploded with a deafening roar, turning into a pool of blood and mud, its form and spirit utterly destroyed.

"You think you can contend with me just by relying on your sacred weapon?" Li Chenzhou surveyed the assembled heroes, his voice calm. "How naive."

His gaze swept across them, and everyone trembled with fear.

Some people's moral resolve collapsed, and they knelt on the ground; others were so terrified that they turned to flee.

Faced with this power, the so-called dignity of holy lands and the pride of the strong are all utterly insignificant.

An old sect leader watching from afar muttered to himself, "This is something that even a holy weapon can't contend with... Unless one is a saint's close relative, no one in this world can subdue it."

Another elder from an ancient family was even more pale.

"Is he truly a king? Even the resurrected patriarch of the Yin-Yang Sect was annihilated by him..."

The words were not finished, but everyone understood their meaning.

At this moment, in their eyes, Li Chenzhou was comparable to a saint, having reached a level that was incomprehensible to them.
