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

"well……"

Another soft sigh came, but it did not come from those three ancient emperors.

Three beams of divine light appeared out of thin air, not attacking Yan Jin, but enveloping the three ancient human emperors who were about to reach the pinnacle of their ascension.

The divine light flowed, not to destroy, but to suppress.

The erupting imperial laws were directly smoothed out and "returned to their rightful place".

The light of the three ancient emperors' ascension quickly dimmed, and they were pushed backward by a force, leaving the front line where they were confronting Yan Jin and falling back to the side of the ruthless man and his group.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that even a true immortal could barely react.

"I had hoped that you would help me refine my Dao and Dharma..."

A calm voice echoed from the chaotic battlefield, "Why... are you in such a hurry to die?"

It's Li Chenzhou!

Li Chenzhou had somehow escaped the combined attack of the three immortals and now stood alone in the center of a vortex.

His imperial robes were tattered and scarred, and his aura was fluctuating, but his eyes were as deep as black holes and as bright as the first ray of light after the creation of the world, calm and undisturbed, as he looked over.

The content of his words stunned everyone.

Using the epic battle of the three ancient emperors to reach the pinnacle of their power, to refine the Daoist arts?

What does this mean?

Mu Gu frowned, the Immortal Cauldron trembled above his head, and countless strands of chaotic energy fell down.

Jun Duo and Lang Tian also stopped their attacks, their immortal eyes like lightning locking onto Li Chenzhou, a sense of alarm rising in their hearts.

Something unusual must be going on. Li Chenzhou's words and actions are completely illogical. What exactly is he planning in this desperate situation?

What tricks are they playing?

Yan Jin was taken aback, then flew into a rage.

First, he was blocked by a group of "ants," and now Li Chenzhou has inexplicably interfered. This feeling of being out of control made him extremely unhappy.

"Playing tricks! You can barely save yourself, yet you dare to be distracted by other matters? Today, I will bury you and these ants into nothingness!"

His body surged with five elements of immortal flames. He disregarded everything, first crushing those who stood in his way, and then joining forces with Mu Gu and the others to completely kill Li Chenzhou.

However, the next moment——

Li Chenzhou made a move.

He did not go to rescue anyone, nor did he take the opportunity to attack Yan Jin or the three immortals in the distance.

He simply spread his five fingers, palm facing upwards, as if he were supporting something invisible.

This extremely simple action terrified the four True Immortals: Mu Gu, Jun Duo, Lang Tian, ​​and Yan Jin.

Because, in Li Chenzhou's palm, something began to appear in the originally empty void.

That was not a manifestation of supernatural powers, nor a condensation of extraordinary phenomena.

Those are... marks.

These are fragments of Dao principles, essence of blood and qi, ripples of divine thoughts, and even the life imprint contained in the Emperor's blood that he spilled out during each collision, each clash of immortal techniques, and each time his wounds broke open in the previous great battle between Li Chenzhou and the Four Immortals.

They should have vanished into nothingness, returned to chaos, or been obliterated by the power of immortality.

But at this moment, as if summoned, they gathered together in wisps and strands.

What shocked the four immortals even more was that they sensed that the immortal laws they had released when they attacked Li Chenzhou were also being seized and flowing towards Li Chenzhou.

Li Chenzhou's gaze remained calm as he swept over the four immortals.

"That's about it."

He murmured to himself, as if inspecting a work of art.

"He...has been 'collecting' our power? Collecting everything he himself has scattered?"

Jun Duo was speechless, incredulous.

"Using his own body as a furnace, battle as fire, and enemies as fuel... what is he forging?" Lang Tian felt a chill run down his spine.

Mu Gu's immortal cauldron roared rapidly. He stared at Li Chenzhou, his usually calm face now showing the same horror.

"Stop him!"

But it seems... it's too late.

"Buzz!"

An indescribable, dazzling light erupted from Li Chenzhou's body.

The entire Chaos Sea trembled under this light, as if it could not bear what was about to be born.

The four immortals stood frozen in place, unwilling to believe it, and a terrifying thought simultaneously arose in their minds:

Could it be that... from the very beginning, he didn't consider this battle to be a life-or-death struggle?

Instead, it was treated as a kind of... "spiritual practice"?

Li Chenzhou's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if they held the promise of creating a new world.

"Wouldn't it be better to just be my whetstone? Why do you have to... be in such a hurry to die?"

Li Chenzhou's voice was filled with regret as his gaze swept over the four immortals.

A sparring partner of immortals is a rare find throughout the ages.

Yan Jin met Li Chenzhou's gaze, and a chill rose in his immortal heart.

A dignified immortal, facing a supreme being in the realm of humanity, actually felt fear.

If this matter were to spread, it would become the biggest laughing stock in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Yan Jin couldn't control himself. He was beaten too badly, from being crushed in one-on-one battles to being heavily "targeted" even in a four-on-one situation. His Dao heart was about to shatter.

"What a Li Chenzhou! In the midst of our life-or-death struggle, he still dares to be distracted by other matters."

Mu Gu, Jun Duo, and Lang Tian joined forces again, Mu Gu's voice cold and sharp.

This person is so arrogant that he actually used the four true immortals as a whetstone.

"I had intended... to give you some dignity," Li Chenzhou said in a low voice. "Since you've actively sought a brutal end, then so be it—"

He slowly raised his eyes, and it seemed as if the first cold lightning bolt of the universe had exploded within them: "Feel it carefully, what... true immortal arts are."

"How dare a human claim to possess immortal arts? What utter arrogance!"

Yan Jin suppressed his heart palpitations, his rage soaring to the heavens, attempting to mask his fear with sheer force. "The power of a true immortal is beyond the comprehension of a mere ant like you. Your death throes are nothing but a laughingstock."

"The power of a true immortal?" Li Chenzhou sneered. "Heh, if a true immortal were truly invincible, why would it take four people joining forces to contend with me?"

At the same time, a sudden change occurred.

Li Chenzhou's body burst forth with boundless light, and the cracks on his body were healing and regenerating.

His boundless life force was radiating, as if countless great worlds were simultaneously opening up within him, providing endless vitality.

This recovery speed completely defied common sense and exceeded the four immortals' understanding.

"impossible!"

"What kind of technique is this?" The Great Accomplishment Saint Body at the edge of the battlefield was also shocked.

He had witnessed the "Secret of the Character 'Zhe'" of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, but what the Heavenly Emperor displayed was even more terrifying.

"Even more demonic than the Devouring Heaven Demon Art." The ruthless woman's voice rang out, and with just a few words, she discerned some of its essence.

Mugu's expression finally changed completely.

"Strike quickly! At any cost, completely annihilate him."

His immortal cauldron resounded, triggering the ultimate killing move. Jun Duo and Lang Tian also burned with immortal light to the extreme, unleashing one killing move after another.

The combined torrent of destruction came with the force of the heavens and the earth, threatening to annihilate the entire universe.

Li Chenzhou stood still, his expression undisturbed.

"It's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, the newly formed, immense power within him—a power that combined the myriad wounds, the laws of all enemies, and some indescribable comprehension—erupted with a thunderous roar.

The incoming light of immortal killing intent was frantically devoured by the newborn power, becoming another source of nourishment for its growth.

At this moment, Li Chenzhou's aura began to truly... terrifyingly surge.

Clang clang clang clang! Lock on Wei Gongyang, lock on, lock on every update of "Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao with the Gate of Eternal Life".

From the depths of the universe, a sound of creation suddenly arose.

Boundless killing intent surged forth out of nowhere, chilling to the bone. From the lowest mortal ant to the four true immortals, all were frozen in their minds, involuntarily giving rise to a great terror.

Behind Li Chenzhou, ninety-nine illusory figures vanished in a flash, reappearing at the four corners of heaven and earth, trapping the four immortals in the center of the abyss.

When the energies converge, time and space freeze, and all things fall silent.

Suddenly

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple... ninety-nine axe lights burst forth.

Like the sharp edge that splits the heavens and earth, piercing through the universe, Li Chenzhou's killing intent boiled to the extreme, matter was annihilated, and all paths were about to go berserk, as if to exterminate all worlds and all spirits.

"What kind of method is this?"

Mu Gu Xian's body trembled uncontrollably, as if his head would be severed at any moment.

"How can such a deadly art exist in this world?"

The four immortals were terrified, their Daoist hearts on the verge of collapse.

Before the axe had even struck, a chill ran down their necks, as if their heads had already been severed from their bodies and plunged into an abyss of eternal silence.

Li Chenzhou stared indifferently at the four immortals.

"To perish under this great technique, your lives will not have been in vain."

He spoke each word deliberately, his words carrying the weight of law:

"A divine craftsmanship, a masterpiece of magic!"

Once those seven words were uttered, the world changed color.

Ninety-nine colors of divine light engulfed the heavens, the laws wailed, all paths retreated, and the entire universe seemed to return to a state of primordial chaos. Only the eternal axe blade, slaying everything, became the sole truth.

"A masterpiece of divine craftsmanship... a divine art?"

Mu Gu uttered each word slowly, savoring the name, his eyes blazing with immortal fire, his voice filled with regret: "Just now you were retreating step by step, actually using the immortal laws of the four of us as fuel to cultivate such an annihilating technique?"

If I had known this would happen, I should have used forbidden methods to annihilate him with lightning speed before he gained power.

How could he possibly have the patience to meticulously plan and devise such a grand strategy?

Upon hearing this, Li Chenzhou gently shook his head and said indifferently:

"Carelessness? Do you really think you lost because of a moment of negligence?"

His gaze swept over the four immortals, and he said coldly:

Even if time were to turn back, and we could start over a thousand times, the ending would still remain unchanged.

"Arrogant!"

The four immortals roared, their immortal power burning wildly, their Dao fruits manifesting, and countless supernatural powers and secret techniques were unleashed, attempting to tear apart the ninety-nine-colored axe beams.

A dazzling celestial light shone, the laws of nature wailed, and a force powerful enough to destroy the entire world clashed.

however!

All struggles were utterly futile in the face of that "divine craftsmanship".

The ninety-nine Great Daos were fused into one, transforming into this unparalleled immortal technique. Although Li Chenzhou had only grasped it to a preliminary degree, it was enough to suppress and kill four True Immortals.

Axe flashes, tearing apart eternity; immortal blood, like a rainbow, splashes across the vast expanse.

The bodies of the four true immortals were constantly cracking and could perish at any moment.

Li Chenzhou already knew that Yan Jin was not the only one on the other side of the time-space tunnel.

But so what?

At this moment, he feared no immortals.

He could have easily killed the Immortal of the Mortal World.

Now that he has mastered this extraordinary and divine art, even true immortals are nothing but weeds in his eyes.

No matter how many come, we'll kill them all!

Ye Fan gazed at the four immortals, who had nowhere to go but to heaven or earth, his mind still reeling.

He had just prepared to fight to the death, but unexpectedly, the battle situation took a dramatic turn in an instant.

"My lord is invincible!"

The Xuanwu Qilin shouted excitedly.

Li Chenzhou turned his gaze to the three ancient emperors and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

Regardless of whether their actions could change anything, their willingness to step forward in this desperate situation is enough to warrant his words.

The three ancient emperors looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "How dare we call ourselves emperors before the Heavenly Emperor? Today, we have only made a fuss over nothing."

"Let bygones be bygones," Li Chenzhou said calmly. "Your hiding in the forbidden zone, though not the righteous path, is understandable. As long as you don't bring harm to the common people, you have your own way."

Unlike those who instigated the Dark Turmoil, it's uncertain how many of these three will survive until the Immortal Path opens, given their original trajectory.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and as long as they don't disrupt the world or harm the people, Li Chenzhou can tolerate them.

"Li Chenzhou! We are willing to withdraw this time, and the karma of this world ends here!"

Mugu shouted, his voice filled with alarm.

Even he, who had witnessed the rise and fall of eras, was now deeply shaken. If things continued this way, he might truly perish.

"Fellow Daoist Li! We swear a solemn oath of our primordial spirits, witnessed by Heaven and Earth, and with the Great Dao as our witness, that we will never again set foot in this realm!"

Jun Duo's immortal body cracked, and he coughed up immortal blood as he spoke in a hoarse voice.

He was terrified. The axe light contained the essence of all things, a technique that could slay immortals and a formation that could trap them. His immortal body was about to shatter.

"We have existed for countless years, and our insights into becoming immortals and breaking through realms... we can impart them all to you without reservation!"

Langtian spoke urgently, his words carrying a seductive undertone.

Although Li Chenzhou is strong and capable of fighting against true immortals, he has ultimately failed to truly open the gates of immortality. This condition might offer him a glimmer of hope.

"Spare us...spare our lives!"

The last immortal begged for mercy, and the arena fell silent.

Mu Gu, Jun Duo, and Lang Tian glared angrily. Even if they begged for mercy, how could they be so blunt and disrespectful?

Only those who, like them, retain the lingering charm of immortals should strive to achieve this.

The one who spoke was Yan Jin.

He suffered the most severe damage from Li Chenzhou's axe strike, his immortal foundation was half destroyed, and his Dao heart collapsed. He no longer cared about saving face or being tactful.

For him, this was an absurd situation that defied all reason. Who could have imagined that one day, a true immortal would have to beg for mercy from a human emperor?

Li Chenzhou's gaze was indifferent; he slightly raised his axe, his aura locking onto the four immortals.

"When you harbor murderous thoughts, you should have thought of this moment: those who kill will be killed by men; this is the way of Heaven, and it is also the cause and effect I bestow upon you today."

"You dare to slay an immortal, you will incur immense karmic consequences! When the Immortal Realm is enraged and all the heavens condemn you, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Mugu's face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he let out a final roar.

The axe flashed again.

Li Chenzhou remained indifferent, completely ignoring Mu Gu's roar. He activated his immortal technique once more, his axe flashing with light, ready to crush the four immortals.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted slightly, glancing at Ye Fan, the ruthless man, and the others not far away, a thought forming in his mind.

"Do you want to go in?" Li Chenzhou asked.

Without hesitation, Ye Fan's fighting spirit rose, and Wu Shi, Qing Di, and Da Cheng Sheng Ti Di stepped forward simultaneously.

"it is good."

Li Chenzhou laughed loudly, changed his hand seals, and a crack appeared in the ingeniously crafted array.

The ruthless man in white was the first to step in, each step creating a void. Ye Fan's golden blood energy soared into the sky, like a war god descending upon the world. Five figures followed one after another into the formation.

Upon seeing this, Mu Gu's immortal eyes lit up, and he was about to transform into light and rush out.

The next instant, a foot landed, simple and unadorned, yet seemingly carrying the weight of the entire universe.

"Bang!"

Mu Gu Xian's body was sent flying back as if it had collided with immortal gold.

Before he could regain his footing, a beam of axe light descended, once again slashing him and causing his immortal blood to splatter everywhere.

"Li! Chen! Zhou!"

Mugu roared, his hatred burning the starry river.
