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

"Who goes there?!"

A furious shout, as loud as thunder, shook the entire Prince Wu's mansion!

The anger and killing intent contained in that voice were almost tangible, soaring into the sky!

Followed by.

Streaks of light shot up from the depths of the mansion, piercing the sky like shooting stars streaking across the heavens, carrying boundless pressure and killing intent, heading straight for Li Chenzhou!

Each streak of light represents a powerful being!

Spirit Transformation Realm! Inscription Realm! There were even a few with even deeper auras, clearly at the half-step Array Formation Realm!

Such a lineup, if deployed elsewhere, could easily allow any one of them to dominate the world, carve out their own territory, and command the submission of other powers. Those so-called "overlords" and "patriarchs" of remote regions wouldn't even deserve to carry their shoes!

But at this moment, these powerful figures have gathered together, all for one person!

All for a madman who dared to kick down the gate of the Wu King's Mansion and trample on the dignity of the Wu King's Mansion!

The light fell to the ground, revealing figures.

There was an old man with white hair and beard, his body covered in runes, his aura as heavy as a mountain; there was a middle-aged man with eyes like lightning, full of murderous intent; there was a beautiful woman holding a long sword, her face as cold as frost; there was a young talent with wide-open eyes, wishing he could devour Li Chenzhou alive!

Dozens of powerful figures surrounded Li Chenzhou!

A terrifying pressure surged in like a tidal wave, distorting the entire void!

The crowd that had gathered on the street had long since retreated a hundred feet away, yet they could still feel the suffocating oppressive atmosphere. Some people's legs went weak, and they could barely stand; some were pale-faced and sweating profusely; and some with lower cultivation levels simply collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

so horrible!

Is this the profound heritage of the Wu Prince's Mansion?

Is this the power of the top kings and nobles of the Stone Kingdom?

Faced with such a lineup, how should that young man cope?

Countless eyes were fixed on the still calm figure in the arena.

"How many years has it been..."

An elderly man with white hair spoke slowly, his voice low and deep, yet carrying a chilling undertone.

"For many years, no one has dared to act presumptuously in front of my Prince Wu's mansion."

He took a step forward, his body radiating with runes, and a terrifying pressure, almost tangible, pressed down on Li Chenzhou!

"Today, it doesn't matter who you are or what your background is."

"They're all going to die!"

The moment the word "death" was uttered, the world changed color!

A sudden gust of wind arose, and murderous intent soared to the heavens!

Li Chenzhou stood in the center of the field, his gaze slowly sweeping over the figures formed by the streams of light.

He looked very carefully.

He looked closely at each person's face, scrutinizing and examining them as if searching for something in a pile of junk.

Those powerful individuals whose gaze swept over him felt a chill creep into their hearts. His gaze was too calm, so calm that it didn't seem like he was looking at a group of murderous enemies, but rather like he was looking at... an insignificant stone by the roadside.

What is he looking for?

What is he identifying?

Finally, Li Chenzhou withdrew his gaze. He seemed to have found what he was looking for: the hideous, disgusting faces of those who had jumped around and acted recklessly after the tragedy that had occurred years ago.

"Who is it?"

Li Chenzhou spoke, his voice very soft, as if he were talking to himself.

But that light, airy voice, like a gust of wind, instantly spread throughout the entire capital!

Every household, every street, every mansion, every person—everyone heard those two words clearly!

Countless people looked up in the direction of the Wu King's Mansion, their hearts filled with profound shock.

What kind of tactic is this?

What level of cultivation is this?

The sound continued, still so soft and faint, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"They've come to collect a debt."

These four short words resounded like a thunderclap over the capital!

The expressions of the powerful figures from the Martial King's Mansion changed drastically!

They initially thought he was just an arrogant fool who dared to cause trouble at the Prince Wu's mansion. But now, the voice that echoed throughout the city, the calm and composed demeanor, and the profound meaning contained in the words "collecting debts"—all these things changed.

This person is no ordinary person!

The power of the Prince Wu's Mansion is indeed formidable.

The powerful figures surrounding Li Chenzhou were all capable of dominating their own territories. Those with slightly better talent and accomplished cultivation were at least at the Spirit Transformation Realm; those with even deeper auras were already cultivators at the Inscription Realm. Such individuals would be able to carve out their own territory and establish a powerful force in the outside world.

Deep within the mansion, several even more terrifying auras lingered, already touching the edge of the Rank Pattern Realm.

Inscription involves engraving one's own runes within the body; array formations involve engraving powerful killing formations within the body. Each step is incredibly difficult, requiring a vast amount of time and resources.

For prodigies like Little One, the barriers to realm seem nonexistent, easily overcome. But for the general public, and even for so-called geniuses, inscriptions and runes are peaks that require half a lifetime or even a lifetime to climb.

The Martial King's Mansion is able to possess so many Inscription Realm experts at the same time, as well as those who are about to step into the Rank Inscription Realm.

Indeed, it is powerful.

They were powerful enough to roam freely in the Kingdom of Stone.

The overwhelming pressure that surged into the sky, the dazzling light of those magical techniques, and the terrifying aura of dozens of powerful figures simultaneously unleashing their killing intent caused passersby on the street to retreat again and again, their faces pale and their legs weak.

But Li Chenzhou remained standing in the same spot.

Not moving at all.

His expression was calm and indifferent.

He looked at the imposing figures, at the unfathomable mansion, at the terrifying aura that lingered within, but his gaze remained completely calm.

With such power, including the legendary King Wu, they could indeed dominate the Stone Kingdom.

But it can be with Li Chenzhou.

It has no meaning whatsoever.

He slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze falling on the depths of the mansion.

"A debt collector," he repeated, still very softly.

This time, however, the sound seemed to penetrate through the many courtyards and reach the deepest part of the Wu King's mansion.

Those old guys hiding in the shadows, those beings who had reached the level of the Rank 1, all felt a chill run down their spines at the same moment.

Li Chenzhou's gaze swept over them lightly.

That's all.

Those powerful figures who soared into the sky from the Martial King's Mansion with murderous intent, those cultivators whose bodies shone with dazzling light and whose murderous aura was as solid as a substance, suddenly froze in mid-air!

They remained poised to charge forward, some having just unleashed their powerful techniques, some having just uttered their roars, and some already raising their longswords. But at this moment, everything froze.

Like dozens of flying insects frozen in mid-air by an invisible hand, unable to move.

Another collective gasp rippled through the street.

Dozens of powerful individuals! The lowest level is the Spirit Transformation Realm! These are the kind of powerful figures who could dominate the world and be granted titles and honors!

Just a glance?

Just a glance?!

What kind of tactic is this?!

Li Chenzhou ignored the horrified stares. He simply watched the figures frozen in mid-air, his gaze slowly sweeping across each face.

identify.

Examine.

then.

Some of the people were thrown from the air and gently fell back to the ground, like fallen leaves.

Like the guards at the gate, they were imprisoned in place, unable to move, and could only stare wide-eyed at everything that was about to happen.

Some of these people looked bewildered, some had complex expressions, and some had a hint of relief in their eyes. They didn't know why they had been left behind, but they vaguely sensed something.

"Some of you treat the Prince Wu's mansion as your own home."

Li Chenzhou's voice was soft, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"But little do they know, some people only see this place as a tool for profit and power."

His gaze fell on those people who were still frozen in mid-air.

Those who jumped up and down, fueled the flames, and kicked someone when they were down after the tragedy happened.

Those who, in order to please those with double pupils, to curry favor with that faction, and to get a share of the pie in this power game, ruthlessly suppress an infant in swaddling clothes.

Those who truly owe a debt.

Li Chenzhou withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining calm.

On the ground, those left behind stared blankly at everything, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside them.

They didn't know who this unfathomable young man was.

But they vaguely understood.

Today, the Wu King's Palace is about to undergo a major change.

"Still trying to hide?"

Li Chenzhou's voice was as cold as frost, devoid of any warmth.

Suddenly, lightning flashed in his eyes! Those two gazes, like the first ray of divine light at the dawn of creation, pierced through the void and swept over every corner of the Martial King's Mansion.

Pavilions and towers, deep courtyards and winding corridors, secret rooms and hidden compartments, deep within the underground palace.

There is nowhere to hide.

There is nothing that can be hidden beneath those eyes.

Li Chenzhou saw it.

He saw faces that had never appeared in the little one's memory. Those who lurked behind the scenes, those who secretly fueled the flames, those who emboldened and supported the evil deeds of yesteryear.

Some hid in secret rooms, trembling with fear; some mingled in the crowd, trying to conceal themselves; and some hid in the deepest part of the mansion, thinking that no one could detect them.

ridiculous.

Li Chenzhou raised his hand as if to grab.

next moment.

An incredibly spectacular scene unfolded in the sky above the capital!

Above the renowned Martial King's Mansion, figures rose out of thin air, as if lifted from various corners by invisible hands and suspended in mid-air!

One, two, three...

A dozen or so!

Some of them had white hair and beards, and were senior members of the household; some were in their prime and were powerful stewards; some were even dressed in fine clothes, clearly indicating their extraordinary status.

At this moment, they were like grasshoppers strung together, suspended in the air, struggling desperately!

"Let me go!"

"Do you know who I am?!"

"You audacious madman, how dare you! Ah!"

Some roared, some threatened, and some cursed. They frantically activated their cultivation, runes flashing, and precious light soaring into the sky. But all their struggles were like throwing a stone into the sea, utterly futile.

That invisible hand is more steadfast than the Way of Heaven.

In the capital, countless people looked up at this scene, speechless with astonishment.

Those are people from the Prince Wu's Mansion!

That was someone who was usually high and mighty, and arrogant!

At this moment, they are like a string of dead fish, suspended in the air, at the mercy of others!

"this……"

"Who exactly is that person?!"

"What is he going to do?!"

Countless gazes turned to the young figure standing in front of the Wu King's mansion, their hearts filled with surging waves of shock.

Li Chenzhou looked up at the struggling figures, his expression still calm, but the thunder in his eyes had grown colder.

These are all the disgusting faces from back then.

Some acted directly, some plotted behind the scenes, some provided support and encouragement, and some turned a blind eye while secretly stirring things up.

Not one was missed.

He withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Those who owe money, all of them are here."

The sound wasn't loud, but it froze those suspended in mid-air, their faces turning deathly pale.

The capital was deathly silent.

Only those figures struggled desperately in the sky above the Prince Wu's mansion, like dying fish.

At that moment, many people suddenly remembered a saying.

Come out and mix, always have to pay back.

"Who are you? Do you know this is the Martial King's Palace, the imperial capital, right beneath the Emperor's feet!"

The old man, with his white hair and beard, had a ferocious expression and roared madly, his voice echoing throughout the entire block. He was suspended in mid-air, struggling desperately, but like an insect nailed to the void, he could not move no matter how hard he tried.

But his mouth can still move.

His eyes gleamed with a mixture of resentment and fear, and he brazenly invoked every powerful backer he could find.

Wu Wangfu.

The capital city.

The Human Emperor.

It was as if these titles could crush the young man in front of him, as if these backgrounds could save his life.

Li Chenzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Just one glance.

His gaze was indifferent as water, calm as a mirror, without anger, without killing intent, and without even the slightest fluctuation.

It's like looking at an ant.

An ant crawling by the roadside, about to be crushed underfoot at any moment.

The gaze that fell on Shi Lei instantly froze the white-haired old man, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him. All the words stuck in his throat, all the threats were stuck on his lips, and he couldn't utter a single word.

In those eyes, there was no fear he had imagined, no hesitation he had anticipated, and no reverence for the Martial King's Mansion, the Imperial Capital, or the Human Emperor.

Only indifference.

Absolute, thorough, as indifferent as looking at dust.

Shi Lei suddenly became afraid.

He was a senior member of the Wu King's Mansion and one of the main forces in that tragedy. He stood on Shi Yi's side and personally pushed for the suppression of Shi Ziling's lineage. He watched as the infant in swaddling clothes had his supreme bone removed and heard the desperate cries.

He thought he was right.

He thought that by attaching himself to the lineage of those with double pupils, he had secured the future of the Martial King's Mansion.

But now, being stared at by those indifferent eyes, he suddenly felt that he had never truly understood what "fear" meant.

Li Chenzhou withdrew his gaze, not even bothering to look at it again.

"Shi Lei." He uttered the name softly, his tone as flat as if he were reciting an insignificant symbol.

But when the sound reached Shi Lei's ears, it was like a death knell tolling.

I know this person.

I know his name, I know his identity, and I know what he has done.

Shi Lei's face turned completely pale.

Li Chenzhou stopped looking at him and shifted his gaze to the figures that were still hanging in the air, struggling desperately.

"Under the Emperor's feet?" he repeated softly, a slight smile playing on his lips, but devoid of warmth.

"Does being under the Emperor's feet mean you can default on your debts?"

"Can one take an infant's bone and escape punishment simply by standing at the feet of the Emperor?"

"Just because the Emperor is right here, you filthy creatures can run rampant and act with impunity?"

He asked three questions in a row, his voice still not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in the sky above the capital!

Countless people looked up in awe, their hearts and minds deeply shaken.

Those suspended in mid-air had faces as pale as paper.

They finally realized it.

Today, no one can save them.

The Emperor cannot.

The Prince Wu's residence is not allowed.

No one can.
