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

Li Chenzhou sat quietly in the secluded valley, his vital energy surging, and his fiery blood energy soaring into the sky, condensing into several dragon-shaped pillars of light that tore through the night sky.

He was dressed in white, spotless, with flowing black hair and radiant light all around him, like a god descending to earth.

Dragon-shaped blood energy surged from his body, resonating with heaven and earth.

His physical body is undergoing an astonishing transformation, a release of the power of life's origin. With this physique alone, he is enough to suppress all enemies of his generation.

"Buzz—"

As the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture was activated, a mysterious ancient bell appeared above his head.

Thousands of dark rays descended, like silk threads. The bell's body was simple and unadorned, yet it seemed to be a vessel of the Great Dao, as if it were the source of all laws.

Under the shadow of the dark light, Li Chenzhou appeared even more otherworldly.

Her white robes fluttered, her hair swayed gently, and her body radiated divine light, making her appear like a primordial deity. Every inch of her skin flowed with the essence of life, far surpassing any ordinary mortal spirit.

As the pores of the body open and close, vital energy flows freely, and the internal organs and bones are all bathed in a dazzling divine light.

He ate the divine fruit and possessed the mind of embryonic breathing. His five great divine treasures were all perfected within half a day, and he no longer needed to stay in the pass for long.

"Whoosh—"

The five Dao Palaces resounded in unison, and the heavenly sound of the Great Dao reverberated throughout the universe, like the booming of ancient bells and drums.

Li Chenzhou transcended the self and the external world, remaining detached and unmoved by the changing winds and clouds around him.

He sat high in the heavens, with the Demon Bell floating above him, like a god who created the world, looking down over the vast land.

The starlight and moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall, all flowing into the celestial spirit, and the life essence of heaven and earth surged and was refined.

His physical body underwent a transformation, becoming increasingly crystalline and flawless, like crystal, and his life force became increasingly terrifying.

His heartbeat was like the drums of a war god, shaking the void with each beat.

A complete transformation, a fresh start!

Li Chenzhou's physical body is undergoing a complete transformation, a sign that he is about to break through to a higher realm.

The entire valley trembled, and a massive amount of the essence of heaven and earth was drawn into his body.

His body radiated divine light, growing ever more dazzling, as if a celestial being had descended upon the world.

Suddenly, his heartbeat became heavier and stronger, like the beating of a heavenly drum, and endless essence flowed into his body, making him radiate light.

Boom!

With a loud bang, his body was engulfed in blazing divine flames, the firelight shooting into the sky, his body becoming almost transparent, and his internal organs and bones clearly visible.

Blood seeped from every pore of his body. Flames burned, the blood evaporated, emitting a strong bloody aura. Old blood was constantly expelled, while new precious blood containing divine radiance was born within his body, shining brightly.

Click!

A clear cracking sound rang out as his bones broke and reformed. He had never seen such a complete transformation; it was a true rebirth, with even the hardest bones being regenerated.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the crystal-clear surface of the body, like a fine piece of jade breaking. The internal organs were vibrating, the joints were humming, and everything was undergoing a rebirth.

The entire valley was stained with blood. Divine flames completely enveloped him, and he seemed to be reborn from the ashes. Every bone, every inch of flesh, and even the strands of hair were being replaced.

Li Chenzhou drew upon the essence of heaven and earth to cleanse his physical body, rejuvenating his blood and marrow. His physique was undergoing an astonishing transformation, shedding his old shell and reshaping a completely new self.

Boom!

He suddenly stood up, looked up at the starry sky, his disheveled hair flying wildly, his newborn body radiating divine light.

Just then, a bolt of purple lightning tore through the sky and struck him down fiercely.

Heavenly Tribulation!

A thunderbolt ripped through the sky and crashed down on Li Chenzhou.

This is not the ordinary lightning of the Dragon and Snake World, but a heavenly tribulation carrying the will of heaven and earth.

He stood tall, his eyes reflecting the starry sky, his physical body defying the might of heaven.

"Boom!"

As the first bolt of heavenly lightning struck, divine light radiated from his body, and the eerie glow of the demonic bell flowed beneath his skin. He withstood the devastating blow, his body remaining completely unharmed, instead becoming even more crystalline and radiant.

The second tribulation followed immediately, no longer a single bolt of lightning, but a vast sea of ​​thunder.

Purple lightning poured down, turning the entire valley into a thunder prison. Electric snakes danced wildly, thunder dragons surged, and blinding lightning devoured the heavens and earth. The void crumbled inch by inch under this terrifying pressure.

Li Chenzhou was completely engulfed by the sea of ​​thunder. His blood splattered for the first time, the thunderous sound shattered the universe, his body began to crack, and his bones groaned, but his spine remained straight.

The third wave of lightning transformed into an ancient lightning dragon, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and swooped down. The fourth wave of lightning tribulation condensed into an ancient lightning palace, which suppressed the attack.

His chest was pierced and his shoulder blades were shattered, yet he still stood firm amidst the sea of ​​lightning.

Such power would have already annihilated the body and soul of an ordinary cultivator.

As the fifth wave of lightning descended, the demonic bell hanging overhead emitted a deafening dragon roar, and countless Dao traces appeared on its body, actively devouring the lightning and engraving innate lightning patterns upon it.

Li Chenzhou let out a long roar, and his shattered body was reborn, with even the newly grown bones imprinted with profound Dao patterns.

The sixth tribulation of lightning transformed into a thunderous battle halberd, cleaving through the void; the seventh tribulation condensed into a thunderous immortal sword, severing the galaxy.

Each bombardment changed the landscape, and Li Chenzhou's figure flickered in and out of existence amidst the sea of ​​lightning, yet he remained steadfast and unyielding.

The eighth wave of thunder evolved into the phantom of the ancient Thunder Emperor, who struck down with a palm, causing the Demon Bell to explode. It then reformed amidst the lightning, with nine new thunder patterns appearing on its surface.

The ninth wave of world-destroying lightning descended, and the entire sea of ​​lightning collapsed into a single point of extreme light, instantly engulfing him completely.

Time seemed to stand still, and all things were extinguished.

Finally, the towering sea of ​​lightning dissipated, and the world returned to silence.

On the scorched earth, only a charred shell stands tall, its body covered with cracks, yet faintly emitting the roar of a dragon and the sound of thunder.

The entire valley transformed into crystallized glass. Li Chenzhou's aura was weak, but deep within his charred body, a glimmer of divine light rekindled.

In the stillness of the valley, a crisp sound rang out.

The charred body trembled, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

Li Chenzhou stood up. Although his body was charred black, his eyes were as clear as a deep, cold pool, with a gleaming light in them.

"Click—"

Cracking sounds rang out one after another, and the charred outer shell cracked inch by inch.

The newborn body is as clear as jade, shimmering with a faint, precious glow.

Having undergone the baptism of lightning, his physical body has been transformed, and every inch of his flesh and blood contains even more immense power.

The charred shell had completely peeled away, revealing a flawless and precious body.

Electricity faintly flows beneath the body, and profound Daoist patterns are imprinted on the bones.

His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, his eyes shone like stars, and he casually draped a white robe over his shoulders, looking like an immortal descending to earth, ethereal and otherworldly.

Li Chenzhou stood silently in the void, feeling the surging power within his body.

The physical body has indeed broken through its limits, with its internal organs absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and dragon roars resounding throughout its limbs and bones.

However, when he summoned the Demon Bell, he always felt that something crucial was missing, as if a perfect painting was missing its final finishing touch, making it difficult to truly achieve perfection.

"Why is this? Is it a conflict in the cultivation system? No, it's not."

Li Chenzhou was puzzled, and slowly closed his five fingers.
