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

On this day, at the edge of the universe, an indescribably blazing pillar of light erupted, illuminating the boundless sea of ​​stars.

"Heavens! What is that? Has the universe cracked open?" A cultivator looked up, and the magical artifact in his hand crashed to the ground.

"My Great Dao... is trembling! What is happening?" A sage in seclusion could hardly contain himself.

Meanwhile, across the universe, those living fossils sealed within the divine source began to awaken one after another.

Meanwhile, in some star systems, in ancient cities where numerous cultivators gather, and on floating continents, everyone is speculating:

"That light is alive! It's breathing, it's pulsating! I can almost hear all the Dao chanting!" A young monk, his face flushed with excitement, shouted, pointing at the starry sky.

"The light of ascension... the light of immortality! This is the opening of the path to immortality; someone is about to break through the shackles of eternity and ascend to immortality on the spot!"

"The light of ascension... shines through the ages, piercing the netherworld! The legendary... the legendary scene is actually true!"

"Become an immortal? How is that possible? Has anyone ever become an immortal?" someone instinctively refuted, but their voice trembled violently.

"boom!"

As if in confirmation of the shout, the light grew even more intense, no longer just light, but transformed into a substantial sea of ​​light.

The divine radiance of the immortals illuminated every corner of the universe, reaching from the highest heavens to the deepest hells.

In an instant, endless rain of Great Dao light fell, and the depleted stellar spiritual veins showed signs of revival. Old medicines were revitalized, and dying beings were infused with a wisp of vitality. The sound of the Great Dao resounded in the hearts of every being.

This was no longer an anomaly, but rather a baptism of the entire universe.

Shocked!

An unparalleled and breathtaking experience!

This era, though filled with geniuses, shining with imperial stars, and with forbidden zones bowing in submission, is a glorious age, all living beings know that immortality is severed and the path to immortality is cut off—this is the law of heaven and earth.

Apart from the Heavenly Emperor, no matter how outstanding or invincible you are, you will eventually be swept away by time, turning into a handful of dust and a legend.

However, at this moment, this ironclad rule has been broken.

"Someone... is going to defy the heavens!" Deep within an immortal dynasty, an ancestor murmured to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

"It must be that the Heavenly Emperor is about to become an immortal."

Since the realm of immortality has enveloped the universe, some "high-level secrets" have gradually spread throughout the world.

One of them is a record about "becoming an immortal in the mortal world".

Instead of relying on shortcuts, they truly relied on their own strength in this degenerate age to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, defy fate, and forcibly "refine" themselves to attain the status of immortals.

The difficulties involved are terrifying to anyone.

Even if you are exceptionally talented, have extraordinary luck, and are fortunate enough to live for tens of thousands of years, without true wisdom and perseverance, how can you expect to become an immortal in this degenerate age?

This is utterly delusional, even more hopeless than an ordinary person trying to carve out an ocean in the desert.

too difficult!

In the Dharma-ending Age, the material for immortality no longer exists. Even if one attains the Dao and becomes an emperor, one still needs to suppress all the geniuses of an era and monopolize the fortune of heaven and earth. Moreover, not every era can produce such a person.

The Imperial Road is littered with corpses, and the Immortal Road is completely severed, with only fragments remaining in legends.

But today, at this moment, this barrier has been shattered directly by an indescribable force in the most direct way.

Although none of the myriad beings in the universe witnessed that figure transcending tribulation to become an immortal, in the unseen realm, all paths resonated, and cause and effect pointed in the same direction. In the hearts of all living beings, a name emerged—a title imprinted at the pinnacle of the era, its light shining upon the past, present, and future.

God!

Only him!

It can only be that man who sweeps away all enemies, quells the darkness and turmoil, opens up the realm of eternal life, and creates miracles in the impossible!

"It's the Heavenly Emperor! The Heavenly Emperor has defied the heavens and become an immortal in the mortal world!" This thought spread like wildfire, igniting the starry sky across the myriad realms.

"Boom!"

The entire universe trembled and cheered for this name.

The world was shocked and the world was in an uproar!

Whether on the most remote planets inhabited by life, or in the mortal world, or in the ancestral lands of various races, the cry of the "Heavenly Emperor" resounds throughout the universe.

An immortal born in the Dharma-ending Age has arrived!

"Heavenly Emperor!"

"Heavenly Emperor"

"Heavenly Emperor!"

At this moment, as if the heavens possessed a spirit, they descended with sweet rain and celestial dew, the earth roared, rosy clouds soared into the sky, and the essence of life transformed into dragons.

In the void, countless golden lotuses bloomed, each flower a world, each leaf a Bodhi tree, swaying gracefully, their Daoist charm naturally manifested.

Even more ancient immortal spirits, such as dragons soaring, phoenixes dancing, and qilin spitting out auspicious omens, appeared and surrounded the pillar of light in worship.

The entire world was enveloped in radiance. The once desolate starry sky was now flowing with celestial light, as if it had transformed from a "land of desolation" into an "immortal paradise."

The Heavenly Emperor is about to become an immortal!

"boom!"

A world-destroying bolt of lightning, its terror beyond description, suddenly struck down from the top of the pillar of light that had brought immortality.

The moment it struck, all the clamor instantly fell into a deathly silence.

All living beings in the myriad realms, from supreme beings who have attained enlightenment through unorthodox means to mortal ants, involuntarily held their breath, their pupils contracted, their souls stiffened, and they dared not utter a single sound.

That lightning... it was terrifying!

It was not ordinary lightning; it was more like a "thunder waterfall" formed from the solidification of countless shattered worlds.

It was so large that it could fill a galaxy, and its length stretched through the deep space of the universe. Wherever it passed, space was not distorted, but directly annihilated, and even the turbulent flow of time escaped in all directions.

Even across countless star systems, an irresistible fear gripped every living being.

The feeling was like an insect looking up at the collapsing sky, its soul about to be shaken apart by the destructive will within the lightning.

Under this thunderbolt, the concepts of the strong and the weak lost their meaning.

The supreme beings who attain enlightenment through unconventional means, capable of plucking stars and grasping the moon, are just as insignificant and weak as mayflies that live only a day and die at dusk.

This is not a difference in strength, but an absolute chasm between levels of life, which is despair-inducing.

Under this calamity, all beings are equal.

Equally trembling, equally ants.

"This...this is...the tribulation to become an immortal?" In the Eternal Realm, a cultivator who had experienced various heavenly tribulations in the "Trial Grounds of All Heavens" had a dry voice and swallowed hard.

The Trial Grounds of the Heavens is one of the creations of the Eternal Realm, capable of simulating all the tribulations of the heavens, including the simulation of the "Great Emperor Tribulation".

That calamity was devastating, and those who survived it were all extraordinary talents.

however……

"The gap..." Another patriarch from a major sect stared at the world-destroying lightning on the light screen, his face drained of color, leaving only boundless horror. "Compared to the Great Emperor's Tribulation... it's like a spark!"

The tribulation of the Supreme Being is terrifying, but it still falls within the category of "calamity," serving as a test and tempering of cultivators by Heaven and Earth.

But this lightning... is it a test?

This is clearly an attempt to obliterate!

It's the end!

"No wonder...no wonder there's a break in ancient history, and emperors and sovereigns have all vanished...no wonder the path to immortality has become empty..."

Someone muttered in despair, "To be touched is to die! Even if an ancient emperor were to be resurrected at the height of his power, if he were to be grazed by the edge of this lightning, his imperial body would shatter, his imperial laws would be annihilated, and his body and soul would be destroyed."

Although the Great Emperor Tribulation in the Trial Grounds of the Heavens killed countless heroes, it was the Realm of Immortality, where people could "die and come back to life" and learn lessons.

But where is there even a sliver of hope in this real tribulation that is being brought down for those who seek to "become immortals in the mortal world"?

The mere sight of that thunderbolt clouded the hearts of those who witnessed the calamity, making their souls feel as if they were about to shatter.

It represents the world's denial and punishment of those who "defy the heavens to become immortals".

The world-destroying thunder roared furiously, its lightning almost endless, filling the void. Every wisp of lightning was wrapped in chaotic energy, pouring down towards Li Chenzhou's location with a deafening roar.

This is no longer a "calamity," but a "destruction"!

It is a world-ending divine punishment!

Since the end of the mythological era, the world has never manifested such a terrifying scene of destruction.

This overwhelming power was not meant to test the one undergoing tribulation, but rather to completely destroy the universe itself.

The void was evaporating in large swaths, the Great Dao was retreating, and one desolate star field after another was returning directly to nothingness.

"Snap!"

Another desolate star field, the size of several galaxies, vanished in an instant, leaving not a speck of dust behind, as if no matter had ever existed there.

Fortunately, over the past ten thousand years, the Gate of Immortality has almost radiated throughout the universe, and can naturally move living beings. The living beings in this area have long been cleared out. Otherwise, this opening alone would have been enough to cause an immeasurable catastrophe.

In the center of the sea of ​​thunder, chaotic energy surged.

Li Chenzhou raised his head, took a step forward, and crashed into the edge of the universe, heading towards the more ancient and chaotic depths.

He cannot undergo tribulation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

If this calamity were to be dealt with here, even with his protection, the aftershocks would surely shatter the starry sky, causing irreversible damage to this universe.

This thunder was terrifying beyond reason.

The life level of a mortal immortal has transcended, and their status is comparable to that of a complete universe.

In the Dharma-ending Age, the Heavenly Dao is flawed and the laws are incomplete, making it impossible for the Tribulation of Immortality to descend.

A mortal immortal who has no scruples can destroy the universe with his full power, so how can the universe test him?

In the original timeline, when Emperor, Immortal, Ruthless Man, Wushi, Ye Fan, and others achieved the status of Mortal Immortal, they did not trigger this kind of calamity.

Most of them are things that happen naturally, transforming step by step.

Li Chenzhou's path to immortality was extraordinary.

I'm afraid this calamity wasn't sent down from the heavens and earth.

The true source must be even more terrifying; only those who transcend the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can unleash such a tribulation for immortality.

It's even possible that the calamity of destruction originated from the other side of the Boundary Sea, where some of the Boundary Sea's rules were triggered by this rebellious weather mechanism.

This already carries a hint of the terrifying characteristics of the Immortal King Tribulation, albeit a weakened version.

Judging from this extraordinary calamity, Li Chenzhou's immortal status is probably far beyond that of an ordinary mortal immortal, reaching a level that would make the rules of all heavens "punish" him!

Countless gazes from across the universe converge on the desolate frontier.

All the emperors of the Dao Realm were also paying close attention to this world-destroying lightning tribulation, watching the majestic figure in the boundless sea of ​​lightning.

"Even the tribulation to become an immortal cannot harm me."

As Li Chenzhou finished speaking, the entire starry sky trembled.

His expression was indifferent; this calamity could neither kill the Immortal King nor him.

Although he did not become an immortal, his cultivation was all earned through fighting his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Tribulation lightning? It's nothing more than a whetstone.

The next moment, he took a step forward, as if strolling leisurely, and went straight into the deepest part of the tribulation clouds.

boom!

A thunderstorm erupted over billions of miles, with countless blazing lights rushing and intersecting, like the Great Dao's Heavenly Blade slicing through space and time, shattering the laws of nature and turning that area into a complete wasteland.

boom!

A thunderstorm erupted over billions of miles, with countless blazing lights rushing and intersecting, like the Great Dao's Heavenly Blade slicing through space and time, shattering the laws of nature and turning that area into a complete wasteland.

Only Wu Shi, Ruthless Man, Azure Emperor, and Ye Fan's gazes pierced through the sea of ​​lightning, looking towards its core.

Li Chenzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his body shimmering with mysterious light, letting the destructive lightning wash over his flesh.

However, the world-destroying lightning split to the sides, preventing it from touching him at all, and could even injure him.

He stands like an ancient sacred mountain, unmoved by raging seas and towering waves.

This tribulation to become an immortal cannot harm him.

"I wish to become an immortal."

Li Chenzhou remained calm; such a calamity could neither kill a Celestial King nor him.

Even though he has not yet truly become an immortal and is still in the mortal world, so what?

He took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the sky full of tribulation clouds.

In an instant, the sea of ​​thunder boiled violently!

Billions of cataclysmic rays of light shot into the sky, tearing apart the universe. Each ray could cleave down stars and pierce through the great world, completely engulfing Li Chenzhou.

Space and time were distorted by the lightning, and endless destructive energy surged forth, as if to reopen the chaos.

The heavens trembled in fear, and all paths groaned in anguish.

This is no longer a tribulation, but a divine punishment that destroys the world.

In the middle of the thunderous sea, Li Chenzhou's figure remained clearly visible.

The light of calamity fell upon him, and lightning storms pounded his body. He didn't even flinch, standing at the center of destruction, letting the myriad lightning temper his body, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.

"The Heavenly Emperor... is too powerful!"

In the distance, the universe is filled with awe and terror.

The thunderstorms grew increasingly violent, unleashing a reign of terror across the heavens. Celestial kings descended upon the nine heavens, gods and demons bowed in submission, and the cycle of reincarnation collapsed... Various strange phenomena descended, accompanied by the killing intent of the Great Dao, determined to end this rebellious cultivator.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wushi sighed softly, "The Heavenly Emperor is invincible."

In the middle of the calamity sea, the scene was beyond human comprehension.

Three feet above Li Chenzhou's head, a doorway opened wide.

The gate seemed to open at the end of the heavens, its entire body condensed from chaotic energy, and its interior was deep and boundless, as if it contained an entire unexplored universe.

The world-destroying lightning, like a thunder dragon, roared, but ultimately could not break free from the devouring power of the portal and was completely swallowed up!

Within the gate, the Daoist fire blazed to the heavens.

That was no ordinary fire, but the true flame manifested by the Great Dao. The sea of ​​thunder fell into the fire and was tempered and refined. The power of the tribulation was refined and transformed into the essence of the origin, which was poured onto Li Chenzhou's body.

"Sizzle!"

Each wisp of lightning that fell stirred up earth-shattering Daoist sounds.

His body was glowing, every inch of his flesh was roaring, as if countless ancient gods and demons were chanting scriptures within him, or as if they were creating a new world.

The lightning struck his body, and the innate vitality refined from the lightning magma was more precious than the true blood of the immortal phoenix. It merged into his life essence and strengthened his Dao foundation.

Using calamity as a furnace and thunder as medicine.

He stood still, letting fate cleanse him. His gaze was calm. The lightning punishment that could cause a true immortal to perish and a great world to reopen was, to him, merely the resources for evolution.

Beyond the Chaos Thunder Sea, Wushi gazed silently, his heart unable to find peace.

He was also an invincible figure who rose to power by sweeping all the way up, traversing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and breaking through the barriers of time with his two Emperor Fists.

His path has always been one of overwhelming dominance, sweeping away all enemies without ever suffering a defeat.

But at this moment, witnessing the figure in the center of the sea of ​​thunder, the Great Emperor Wushi, who had once made even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone tremble, finally let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"Absolutely amazing."
