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

The three Dark Immortals looked at Li Chenzhou, a chill creeping into their hearts.

The figure stood there, with a shattered galaxy seemingly reflected behind him, and all the stars in the heavens seemed to flicker in his eyes.

Celestial King?

It doesn't quite look like it, but that terrifying aura...

"I'm sorry, we shall perish today."

Li Chenzhou's voice was calm as he shook his head slightly.

Do you need a reason to kill a supernatural being?

The question itself is ridiculous.

Era after era, blood has soaked into ancient history.

With the immortals buried beneath the earth, the world fell into chaos and decay, and countless glorious civilizations were reduced to dust beneath the feet of the strange.

Countless lives have been tainted by misfortune. The strange race has caused sin and evil. Their path is to devour, to end, and to plunge all the heavens and the myriad worlds into eternal night.

Even among ordinary cultivators, there are those who commit evil deeds, and those whose good intentions remain like an ever-burning spark.

One can choose to join the darkness...

Their origins have been replaced, and their blood has long since turned cold.

So-called conscience and so-called cause and effect disappear completely once tainted by darkness.

Even if there were millions of them, not a single person with a conscience could be found.

"Because of your very existence..."

"That is the greatest sin against all living beings."

The current situation is different from that of the alien realm during the chaotic ancient years. Now, it is the creatures of strange races who have personally intervened, planting ominous seeds directly into all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Ordinary cultivators and the mysterious forces are locked in a life-or-death struggle.

There was no compromise, no coexistence, only slaughter.

The bizarre race has committed countless acts of extermination.

Their so-called "Great Sacrifice" is a blood sacrifice performed on an epochal basis, involving an entire ancient history and countless living beings, whether mortals or immortals.

Time and time again, one era after another.

The bones of the sacrificed beings could fill the boundary sea, and their vengeful spirits could disrupt the cycle of reincarnation.

The number is already incalculable.

Once they step into the realm of the bizarre, they are no longer on the same path. Their way is to tread upon the corpses of countless civilizations, and their path is fueled by the blood and souls of all living beings.

Therefore, upon seeing them, the only response is to kill.

No need for further words, just eliminate them all.

Li Chenzhou didn't pause, leaving only the words: "This place is yours."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around, took a step, and his figure blurred and disappeared.

He left without hesitation, leaving the deadly trap and the three Dark Immortals entirely to the four people behind him.

He trusts them.

More precisely, he understood what these people were asking for.

It was by no means a smooth-sailing protection, but rather a series of life-or-death battles, a tempering process that was sublimated to the extreme in blood and fire.

They have their own path, and others neither need to nor should interfere excessively.

As for Li Chenzhou himself, he also needs experience.

As he departed, the three Dark True Immortals in the arena were first stunned, then burst into wild joy.

"What an arrogant fool!" The leading Dark Immortal sneered, dark runes coalescing once more. "You actually intend to use us as whetstones to temper your junior?"

"Unfortunately, arrogance leads to certain death!" Another True Immortal licked the black blood from the corner of his mouth, his smile twisted and cruel. "Today, I'll use you, this 'sharpening stone,' to shatter your dull blade!"

They thought that under Li Chenzhou's watchful eye, they wouldn't even have a chance to send a message and were destined to perish here.

But now... a golden opportunity has presented itself!

Almost the instant Li Chenzhou disappeared, the leading Dark Immortal suddenly smashed half of his own chest with a palm strike, pulling out a ball of boiling black blood.

This is the mark that their lineage has made by signing a contract with the source of the strangeness, using a portion of their own origin.

"With my blood as the guide, with my soul as the bridge, I summon my clan's king—all causes and effects have befallen me, lower your gaze."

He roared ferociously and crushed the black blood.

"Buzz!"

An obscure fluctuation, surpassing the level of a true immortal, pierced through the void and spread into the depths of darkness.

It was a calling, a sense of purpose.

At the same time, the three Dark Immortals' eyes flashed with ferocity, transforming into three world-destroying demonic dragons that pounced on the four of them.

"A swift and decisive victory! Slaughter these ants before their elders return!"

They would use the blood and souls of these four people as offerings for their audience before their "king" arrived.

Time seemed to be on their side.

Terrifying dark reinforcements are tearing through the void from a distant, eerie source.

But... will they really be able to wait?

Facing the towering black flames, the four men showed no fear, only a chilling fighting spirit, like four peerless heavenly blades about to be unsheathed, ringing out with a clang.

The ruthless woman stood alone in the void, her gaze not even flickering, only her slender fingers slightly raised.

With a single thought, a flower blooms, and the ruler reigns supreme.

Flowers bloom out of thin air, crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.

She charged towards a dark immortal.

The Dark Immortal felt his hair stand on end instantly. Beneath that extreme beauty lay a pure and intense killing intent, layer upon layer, sealing off every inch of space and time, aiming to completely "dissolve" him from body to soul!

"You are no ordinary cultivator!"

The Dark Immortal roared, unleashing a surge of dark magic power to resist the falling petals.

laugh!

The fairy flower made contact with the dark giant shield, and billowing green smoke rose up.

The two forces are annihilating each other in a frenzy.

Beauty and grotesqueness, holiness and filth, are locked in a direct confrontation.

At this critical moment of stalemate, on the other side, at Wushi's place, a strange change also occurred.

At this critical moment of stalemate, on the other side, at Wushi's place, a strange change also occurred.

He didn't make a move; he just stood there quietly, yet a kind of "powerful aura" naturally flowed around him.

It was as if the stars of the heavens revolved around him, and the river of time slowed its flow beneath his feet.

His mere existence is like that of an ancient emperor suppressing the source of time, impervious to all laws and causing all evil to retreat.

The dark immortal who was confronting him grew increasingly alarmed.

"Who...who are you?" The Dark Immortal couldn't help but exclaim in horror.

His voice trembled slightly.

He had fought for hundreds of thousands of years and seen countless geniuses, but he had never felt such a terrifying aura from a cultivator in the human realm.

The man standing there made him feel more uneasy than many true immortal beings.

"We are not immortals, but merely a few cultivators of the human path."

In another shattered battlefield, Ye Fan and the Azure Emperor stood side by side, facing the third Dark True Immortal together.

On the path of immortality in the mortal world, Ye Fan and Qingdi did not go as far as Wushi and Ruthless.

Therefore, the two of them faced off against a single immortal.

At this moment, the two stood side by side, their surging auras intertwining to create a grand presence that even immortal beings would take notice of.

Ye Fan's black hair was loose, his eyes were like lightning, and the phantom of the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron behind him rose and fell, vaguely conveying a belief that "I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall suppress all enemies in the world," which transformed into a battle intent that soared into the sky and stirred the starry river.

Unyielding, domineering, and radiant like the sun, illuminating the darkness.

The Azure Emperor, still dressed in his green robes, exuded a completely different aura from Ye Fan.

He stood still like an ancient blue lotus, exuding a vitality that never ceases to thrive, a life force that revives from the ashes.

That vitality was not gentle, but rather carried a vastness like grass breaking through rocks and time enduring through eras.

Beside him, countless illusory worlds appeared and disappeared, which were the prototypes of the evolving Immortal Realm. Although not yet perfect, they already showed a spirit of transcending the world.

The two did not attack immediately, but instead connected their energy into one.

One is like a towering mountain, fierce and powerful; the other is like a boundless sea, deep and vast.

Two different yet equally powerful forces intertwined, forming a world-shaking field of yin and yang rotation, locking onto that dark immortal.

The Dark Immortal, seeing Li Chenzhou leave and realizing that his opponents were only two "weak" human cultivators, was filled with murderous intent and an urgent desire to escape.

But at this moment, struck by these two powerful auras, he felt a sudden chill, and his ferocity was somewhat suppressed.

His pupils contracted as his divine sense swept over the two of them.

The more they investigated, the more alarmed they became.

One of them exuded a boundless aura of blood and blood, seemingly carrying the battle intent of a glorious era. The other, a demon transformed from a blue lotus, though clearly rooted in the present world, possessed an ethereal aura as if it had wandered from a distant era, carrying a Daoist charm and grand vision that did not belong to this time.

"Another one... no, two!"

The Dark Immortal was filled with shock and disbelief. "Who exactly are these people? How could such extraordinary beings appear one after another?"

"We can't delay any longer!"

The Dark Immortal suppressed his shock, his killing intent burning even brighter.

Such variables and such audacity must be nipped in the bud.

Dark matter surged around him, and he launched the first attack. A giant black hand pressed down, covering the starry river, and crashed down with a deafening roar.

"war!"

Ye Fan let out a long roar and swung the Heavenly Emperor Fist. Golden blood energy engulfed the universe and crashed upwards, as if his punch would shatter through eternity.

The Azure Emperor remained silent. With a wave of his hand, the phantom of a lotus in the eternal blue sky swayed, and the azure sky was filled with rosy clouds. The seemingly gentle blue light contained the supreme power to dismantle all laws, sweeping in from the flank and perfectly matching Ye Fan's domineering offensive.

A great battle erupted.

Although it was two against one, and although the path to immortality in the mortal world might not be as "lofty" as that of his two companions, the grandeur displayed by Ye Fan and the Azure Emperor had already made this Dark True Immortal feel a different kind of chill.

On the other side, Li Chenzhou stepped into another great realm.

This place is different from the broken Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The sky is high and distant, the Great Dao is complete, and the stars are arranged like an ancient formation.

Looking around, there are hundreds of smaller universes revolving around this world, like stars surrounding the moon.

This is one of the lairs of the Dark Faction.

The boundary sea here has been "pacified" to create a vast area.

Each of these great realms is presided over by one or even several Immortal Kings, while the surrounding smaller realms are garrisoned by Immortal True Immortals and the Dark Army.

The boundary sea here has become the "territory" of the dark faction.

Celestial Kings drive the universe, True Immortals guard the borderlands.

Bound by the source of darkness, a bizarre race has laid out an earth-shattering chess game that has spanned countless eras.

This reshaped boundary sea is no longer a creation of nature, but an immense war fortress that suppresses all light and uncertainty.

"Mo Cang, come out and face your death!"

Li Chenzhou's voice, like a thunderclap from chaos, shattered the tranquility of this "Archipelago Universe".

Countless large stars trembled, and the boundaries of some smaller worlds shook violently.

"presumptuous!"

"Where did this arrogant fool come from, so ignorant of his own limitations!"

"How dare you address a Celestial King by his name so casually?"

Some of them stood atop the stars, while others trod on ancient warships, their faces filled with disdain and coldness.

In their perception, although the newcomer's aura was heavy, it lacked the "royal might" unique to Immortal Kings, which transcended all other paths.

There was no oppressive feeling that made the soul instinctively tremble and made one's own great path bow down.

He was just a slightly more powerful True Immortal, perhaps he had reached the pinnacle, but... that was all.

Below the Celestial King, all are but ants.

This is an ironclad rule, a truth proven by countless battles and bloodshed.

"Lord Mo Cang is currently comprehending the supreme law on the Central Divine Continent; how could he be interrupted because of an ant like you?"

An immortal sneered. His body was shrouded in ominous black mist, and his aura had reached the pinnacle of True Immortal. He was an important guardian of this archipelago.

"Bindle your own soul, kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and perhaps a bit of your true spirit may be spared, cast into darkness, and enjoy the eternal bliss of burning."

Before he finished speaking, several Dark True Immortals behind him stepped forward in unison, their murderous aura overwhelming, triggering the rules of this "tamed" boundary sea, and suppressing Li Chenzhou.

That was the power of the formation set up here by the Celestial King, enough to crush ordinary immortal beings.

However, Li Chenzhou simply watched all of this indifferently. The formation that was enough to make even a True Immortal change color was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.

He said no more, but simply took a step forward.

"Thump!"

As this step was taken, the entire "World Islands" trembled violently.

It wasn't a shaking of space, but a deeper, more terrifying "pulse".

It was as if this step was not on the void, but on the great path of this archipelago universe.

"Snap!"

Centered on Li Chenzhou, visible cracks spread wildly.

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

The disdain on the faces of countless dark cultivators instantly froze, turning into horror.

They felt their connection to this world weakening, and the dark magic circulating within their bodies began to stagnate.

The peerless immortal's pupils shrank drastically, because he finally sensed that the other party was not without "royal might," but rather that the other party's pressure had been condensed to the extreme, having long since returned to its original simplicity, completely merging with its own flesh and blood, soul, and the Great Dao, not outwardly manifested, but dominating within.

At this moment, the other party no longer deliberately concealed their presence, and a trace of their aura was leaked...

"He...could he be...?"

The immortal's voice trembled as a terrifying thought chilled even his very soul.

Just then!

"Boom!"

In the heart of the archipelago, deep within the vast world known as the "Central Divine Continent," a terrifying will that had slumbered for countless millennia has awakened.

Above the heavens, at the endless heights, a colossal face materialized, woven from the purest dark laws, covering countless star fields.

His eyes, like two black hole vortexes, slowly rotated, casting their gaze downwards.

"For countless eons... not a single ant has ever dared to call me by my name in my territory."

The voice was calm yet majestic; with each syllable, countless dark cultivators knelt in reverence, and the cracks in the rules temporarily ceased to appear.

Immortal King Mo Cang, manifest your divine power!

The gaze of that giant face pierced through the void and locked onto Li Chenzhou, as if it wanted to see through all the causes and secrets of him from the past to the present.

"Interesting, you... have a nauseating odor about you."

The Celestial King's Dharma form spoke, with a hint of scrutiny and amusement, "State your name, you ant. Your blood may be worthy to add a touch of color to my 'Map of Myriad Realms'."

Facing the Immortal King's Dharma Image, Li Chenzhou remained upright, like an ancient divine mountain. His fighting spirit not only did not diminish, but burned fiercely, almost burning through the sky.

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud.

"The one who will kill you is Li Chenzhou."
