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

"Wait!"

A sharp, piercing voice roared.

"We haven't lost yet! Your purple-gold... your purple-gold is fake!"

A voice cried out desperately, as if grasping at the only straw.

"Who doesn't know that your Origin Heaven Divine Eye also emits purple divine light? You must have used Origin Technique to forge the Immortal Gold Phenomenon, trying to deceive us and pass off the real thing as the real thing. This thing is definitely not the real Divine Mark Purple Gold."

These words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing the last vestiges of hope in the hearts of all the cultivators who had lost everything.

"Yes, the Source Heaven Divine Eye also emits purple light; it must be a fake!"

"We are betting on genuine divine medicine and immortal gold, not illusions of source techniques. This round doesn't count."

"Shameless scoundrel, trying to swindle my 1,252 jin of source with fake immortal gold."

The wails turned into roars, and the sound waves surged into the sky once more, suppressing the despair that had just been there.

They would rather believe it was a huge scam than accept losing everything.

On the high platform, several powerful figures from the holy lands and aristocratic families were taken aback at first, then a hint of amusement flashed in their eyes.

This absurd excuse, though unexpected, seemed to... make things easier for them later.

Li Chenzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.

Very well, this shamelessness saves him a lot of trouble.

"Since you all have doubts and believe it's fake..." he said calmly, "then let's continue cutting this second piece of stone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange stone "Demon Embryo" floated to the surface.

Divine power flowed out once more, transforming into the finest carving knife, and began to peel away the stone's outer layer.

This time, the process was slow and clear, and everyone's hearts were in their throats as they stared intently at the strange stone.

When the stone skin was completely removed, the dragon's head, deer antlers, lion's eyes, and a small purple beast carrying a celestial map appeared, accompanied by a pungent medicinal fragrance. The entire Dao Yi Stone Workshop fell silent once more.

"...Qilin...Qilin?"

"No, it's the scent of medicine, it's the elixir of immortality!"

"The seed of the Qilin Immortality Elixir is actually real!" A powerful figure from a sacred land exclaimed, revealing the truth.

The real, living, ancient seed of the immortal elixir is right before my eyes!

This is something that source techniques could not possibly forge.

Those cultivators who were just now frantically shouting "fake immortal gold" seemed to have their throats choked.

All sounds ceased abruptly.

Utter despair!

The appearance of a true divine medicine was more impactful than any celestial gold, shattering their last shred of illusion.

"No--!"

The collapse sounded again, but all that remained was utter despair.

Li Chenzhou walked towards Yuanshan again, "It seems there's no doubt about it this time."

He said no more, his divine power surged forth, and he began to collect the spoils of war.

"I'm willing to gamble... and I'll accept the consequences."

A powerful figure from a sacred land spoke in a cold voice, like ice that had stood for millennia. His gaze swept over Li Chenzhou, his killing intent undisguised.

Right now—

A sudden change has occurred!

The void split open, and a gourd that seemed to swallow the heavens descended, its dark light sweeping straight towards Li Chenzhou.

A man dressed in black, his face concealed by a secret treasure, unleashed his Dragon Transformation Realm cultivation, roaring fiercely, "Fang Han, return my parents' lives!"

They grabbed the camera with large hands, intending to kidnap the person and their valuables.

However, he was met with an even more terrifying fist imprint.

The fist strike is like the first wisp of killing intent at the beginning of time, striking first even after being launched later.

"puff!"

The man in black, along with the gourd that swallowed the heavens, was instantly pierced by the fist imprint and disintegrated on the spot.

The broken gourd fell into Li Chenzhou's hands.

Sold out instantly!

The entire audience fell silent in shock!

Several powerful figures from the holy lands narrowed their eyes, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

A second-level Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator was instantly killed by a single punch?

What kind of monster is this boy?

Even the powerful Jiang family members gasped in astonishment.

A powerful figure from a holy land, his face grim, quickly exchanged glances with the others, and one of them silently disappeared into the void.

The void trembled violently once more, and a gigantic hand reached out, covering the sky. Its five fingers collapsed like pillars of heaven, tearing the universe apart.

Each finger imprint was hundreds or thousands of feet long, distorting space and shattering the clouds in all directions.

Before the wind even arrived, the palaces and buildings below could no longer bear the weight and turned to dust.

A powerful being spared no expense, concealing his true form and activating a secret technique, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

"Come!"

Li Chenzhou spoke the truth, his voice like a Taoist chant.

hum-

A divine furnace pierced the sky, its crimson color like blood. Nine immortal phoenixes on the furnace walls revived, their long, resounding cries echoing, and endless flames showered down.

However, he did not directly summon the Jiang family's ultimate imperial weapon, but instead first activated another quasi-imperial weapon of the same origin.

The Divine Furnace of Departure!

hum!

It was precisely by using this weapon, which Emperor Hengyu used in his early years, that Li Chenzhou was able to communicate with the Hengyu Furnace.

He let out a low shout, and the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire roared. The imperial runes within it, like bridges, instantly connected a certain boundary.

The next moment, the entire sky seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand, and an even larger crimson divine furnace descended with a roar!

Earth-shattering!

The entire holy city trembled.

Using the Divine Furnace of Li Huo as a catalyst and the Imperial Mark as a bridge, he briefly borrowed a portion of the power of the Hengyu Furnace.

"burn!"

Li Chenzhou remained indifferent, and with a wave of his hand, he sent tens of millions of catties of pure source into the Hengyu Furnace.

The furnace trembled violently, flames erupted, transforming into crimson chains of divine order that instantly burned away the void.

The hidden powerhouse didn't even have time to utter a sound of shock before the entire space was completely ignited by the Emperor's Fire.

Along with his physical body, primordial spirit, and all his protective magical treasures, they were all refined into ashes and dissipated into the world.

Li Chenzhou sat high in the heavens, with the divine furnace rising and falling beneath his feet.

He regained his original appearance, his black hair dancing, his robes fluttering, his gaze calm as he looked down upon the millions of cultivators.

fear!

despair!

Life and death are not in our own hands!

Several powerful figures from the holy lands were drenched in cold sweat, while the Yao Guang and Ji family members were pale as death, not daring to look directly at the sky.

Imperial Weapon!

He can actually wield the Jiang family's ultimate imperial weapon!

He is not Fang Han at all!

He was Li Chenzhou, the one they had jointly wanted a few months ago, who ended up causing the deaths of many of their top fighters.

"I need an explanation."

Li Chenzhou's voice rang out again, not loud, but it made everyone feel as if their souls were about to break.

Li Yishui, the Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Sect, suppressed his fear and forced an indignant expression: "I never expected such a madman to infiltrate the Holy City. I have disturbed you, young friend. You deserve to die. Your supernatural powers are truly unparalleled..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of imperial fire descended, ignoring space and locking onto Li Yishui, who was activating the Xuan Yu Platform.

"No--"

Li Yishui had already half his body submerged in the void passage, but he was horrified to find that the Emperor Fire followed him like a shadow, crushing the terrifying laws of eternity, leaving him with no way to escape.

"what!"

The screams abruptly stopped.

As the flames swept by, a powerful cultivator at the Sendai Realm, along with his magical treasures, was instantly vaporized, his body and soul annihilated, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

Li Chenzhou frowned slightly.

The imperial weapon was too powerful, leaving no spoils of war, which was a real waste.

His gaze swept over the million cultivators below, a dark mass, and a thought flashed through his mind: If this place were to be slaughtered, the resources obtained would probably be astronomical...

A force that grows, disregarding all living beings and regarding all things as resources.

But the next moment, his Dao heart trembled slightly, and he extinguished that thought.

His power surged so much that he almost fell into the demonic path.

If one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow. At this moment, he is not yet capable of controlling such a pure desire for destruction.

He took a deep breath, his eyes regaining their clarity, and looked down: "I need an explanation."

This time, no one dared to speak; a deathly silence enveloped the world.

Finally, a powerful figure from the Jiang family flew out, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, for the sake of the Jiang family's relationship with the God-King, could this matter... be dropped?"

Li Chenzhou's gaze swept over him, then turned towards the location of the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Desolate Ancient Ji Family, his voice suddenly turning cold:

"I acknowledge the Jiang family's favor, but some old scores must be settled today."

"As the ancients said, a gentleman does not leave a grudge unavenged. I, Li Chenzhou, am clear about my gratitude and resentment."

He pointed his fingers like a sword at the two forces: "I have a deep grudge against you. Today I will kill you and send you to the Yellow Springs. I'm sure you will have nothing to say then."

"No! This is a misunderstanding!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, spare my life!"

Pleading and cursing erupted instantly.

Li Chenzhou remained expressionless. With a gentle turn of the Hengyu Furnace, the Nine-Headed Immortal Phoenix let out a deafening roar, spewing out several beams of extreme fire that landed at the very heart of Yao Guang and the Ji family.

"ah--!"

"You little beast! I curse you!"

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs!"

After the firelight subsided, all the noise came to an abrupt end.

Those places were reduced to nothingness; all traces of existence had been completely erased.

Li Chenzhou stood with his hands behind his back, the imperial fire blazing behind him, making him appear both godlike and demonic.

All the curses are nothing but the lamentations of a defeated dog; they are not worth mentioning.

"It is not that I am bloodthirsty." Li Chenzhou stood atop the Hengyu Furnace, surrounded by heavenly flames, with the phantom of a nine-headed immortal phoenix circling and hissing, making him appear like a fire deity.

His voice was calm, yet it silenced the holy city.

"The Ancient Ji family and the Yao Guang Holy Land offended me first. If I remain indifferent, won't the world really think I, Li Chenzhou, am easy to talk to?"

Apart from the powerful members of the Jiang family, no one dared to respond.

He stood above the heavens, the wisps of imperial might emanating from the Hengyu Furnace causing the space to tremble and rustle.

"One day, you will understand," Li Chenzhou's gaze swept over them, his tone indifferent, "it is not that I, Li Chenzhou, have offended the Holy Land families, but that you, the Holy Land families... have provoked me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step and disappeared. No matter when or where, ( ) will always be your most loyal reading companion.

In the distance, a streak of light returned from the void and landed in Jiang Yifei's sleeve.

……

A message, originating from the Holy City of the Northern Region, swept across the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The young demon Li Chenzhou, who inherited the legacy of the Source Celestial Master, cut the Qilin Immortal Medicine Seed, Dragon Pattern Black Gold, and Divine Mark Purple Gold in one day at Dao Yi Stone Workshop.

They set up an astonishing gamble and amassed a staggering 100 million kilograms of pure mineral

Furthermore, they unleashed the Jiang family's ultimate imperial weapon, the Hengyu Furnace, and brutally killed several powerful figures from the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ancient Ji family, including two powerful beings at the Immortal Platform Realm!

The Northern Region became the epicenter of the storm in the Eastern Wilderness.

Countless people who heard this news couldn't help but scoff.

The ancient emperors sought the elixir of immortality for a lifetime but could not obtain it. One day, he cut off two of them.

The Heavenly Emperor of Nanling once regretted the lack of celestial gold, so he used his own body to forge weapons. In one day, he obtained two more supreme divine materials.

Yuanshan, worth hundreds of millions?

To use the Hengyu Furnace to suppress and kill powerful beings?

How could the Jiang family sit idly by and watch the imperial army fall into the wrong hands?

Each one is like a myth, completely defying common sense.

However, when millions of eyewitnesses unanimously describe the scene of that day...

Imperial weapons swept across the sky, celestial gold shone brightly, divine medicines exuded fragrance, and great beings perished.

All the skeptics were horrified and speechless with shock.

It's true!

For hundreds of thousands of years, the ancient clans and sacred lands have stood tall like ancient divine mountains, overlooking the changing world.

Killing a member of a holy land is already a heinous crime, let alone killing a powerful figure.

This was a horrific event worthy of being recorded in history.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Eastern Wilderness that very day, causing a massive upheaval.

Various rumors are rampant:

It is said that the Jiang family has recalled the Hengyu Furnace, and the demon Li Chenzhou has lost his support, so he hastily crossed the realm to escape with the help of the Xuanyu Platform.

A rumor circulated confidently: "Li Chenzhou has been secretly killed by the combined forces of the Ji family's Holy Master and the Yao Guang Holy Master; his life and cultivation have vanished!"

Some even secretly spread rumors that Li Chenzhou was seriously injured and was hiding somewhere to heal. They claimed that if one could find him and take his life, one could obtain immense wealth and have a smooth path to cultivation...

……

Meanwhile, in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, another piece of news also shook the world.

The Bronze Immortal Palace has reappeared in the world.

This oldest relic in the Eastern Wilderness is said to have been built by immortals and contains the secret to becoming an immortal. This time, it has appeared in the vicinity of the Tai Xuan Sect.

The chance to become an immortal is enough to drive any cultivator mad.

In just a few days, the southern region was in turmoil, with undercurrents surging.

Countless ancient monsters broke through their barriers and crossed the dimensional gate.

The powerful human race, Nangong Zheng, was said to have passed away five hundred years ago, but he has reappeared in the world and entered the Tai Xuan realm.

The Peacock King, a powerful demon king who was arrogant throughout his life and once said, "I will fly down to the world," also descended upon the territory of Wei.

The path to immortality is elusive. Throughout history, countless brilliant and talented individuals, even the mighty Emperor Wushi, who looked down upon the heavens and earth and suppressed an era, ultimately vanished into the long river of time, with no definitive evidence of their ascension to immortality.

The emergence of the Bronze Immortal Palace brought a glimmer of hope to all cultivators who were despairing about the future.

However, after entering the world, the Peacock King did not go straight to the Bronze Immortal Palace, but instead did another astonishing thing.

He descended upon the ancient Ji family's mountain gate and, without saying a word, shattered the Ji family's gate with a single palm strike.

The Ji family was enraged by being provoked twice in one day.

But soon, the reason came out:

It all started because of Yan Ruyu, a descendant of the Demon Emperor.

After the Azure Emperor's tomb was opened, the Ji family became powerful and wanted to seize the Demon Emperor's sacred weapon, forcing Yan Ruyu to flee all the way. Even some powerful figures within the demon race coveted the treasure.

The Peacock King is doing this to stand up for the descendants of the Demon Emperor and seek justice.

The coldness and indifference of human nature can be seen here.

Even the powerful Emperors Taiyin and Taiyang shed their last drop of blood for the human race, and their descendants also suffered misfortune and were ignored. How much more so for the now-declining Demon Empress.

The Eastern Wilderness was plunged into turmoil because of Li Chenzhou and the Bronze Immortal Palace.

……

Above the sky, muffled thunder rumbled incessantly.

Space was like a shattered mirror, with countless cracks spreading out. The battle between peerless powerhouses was powerful enough to burn mountains and boil seas.

The Peacock King stood tall and straight in the air, like a peerless divine sword, its sharpness soaring straight to the heavens.

Beside him stood the Azure-Clad Demon King, his aura overwhelming, each step he took causing the void to collapse and lightning to flash.

Opposite them, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang was surrounded by one hundred and eight divine halos, shining as brightly as the sun in the sky.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family merged with the void, his body covered by hundreds of layers of spatial barriers, thus establishing himself as invincible from the outset.

A chilling atmosphere permeated the surrounding area, suffocating all living beings.

"kill!"

Without a word, the Azure Dragon King confronted the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, while the Peacock King charged straight at the Holy Lord of the Ji Family.

Below, the two powerful figures clashed violently, their battle resounding throughout the heavens and earth. Mountains and rivers shattered, and large sections of space collapsed as the chaotic battle raged on.

On the edge of this chaotic battlefield, three figures were breaking out.

"Pang Bo, split up and run!"

Ye Fan gave a low shout, and he and Pang Bo, in perfect sync, split up and sped off, displaying the profound footwork they had learned from the Mad Old Man to its fullest extent.

As for the little moon of the Ji family, since she escaped with them, we can't worry about her now.

Behind them, hundreds of disciples from the holy lands and aristocratic families pursued relentlessly, their battle cries shaking the heavens.

However, in the very next moment—

A voice rang in Ye Fan and Pang Bo's ears:

"Ye Fan, Pang Bo, it's been a long time."

Immediately afterward, the sound of footsteps descended from the sky.

It wasn't a supernatural power, nor a magical artifact; it was merely a footstep that shattered the void, yet it caused a spatial tremor.

puff!puff!puff!

The hundreds of disciples from the Holy Land who were closest to him didn't even have time to cry out before their bodies instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Amidst the rain of blood, a figure in white appeared, standing in the void.

His aura was restrained, yet he possessed a boundless power; every gesture seemed to contain the unparalleled divine might to pluck stars and seize the moon.

"The ship sank!"

"The ship sank!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

The girl in purple who was traveling with them also suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

Even the four peerless experts who were engaged in fierce battle in the distance slowed their attacks, their gazes becoming serious as they looked in this direction.

"The devil... Li Chenzhou!"

Upon recognizing the newcomers, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang and the Holy Lord of the Ji family immediately unleashed a torrent of killing intent.

This person actually dared to show up here!

"Oh."

Faced with the killing intent of the two Holy Lords, Li Chenzhou merely let out a light laugh.

He might not be able to defeat the powerful beings on the second level of Sendai, but if he wanted to leave, there was absolutely no way they would stop him.

The Divine Furnace of Li Fire was brought forth.

With a flick of his sleeve, a power enveloped Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the girl in purple.

The next instant, space distorted, the world spun, and when the group came to their senses, they were already thousands of miles away.

"...You villain! Drop the pearl of the Ji family!"

Faintly, one could still hear the roar of the Holy Lord of the Ji family, piercing through the void, but it quickly faded away and disappeared.

Four people sat facing each other amidst the mountains.

Li Chenzhou's gaze fell on the girl in purple. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she was full of spirit. The two shallow dimples on her cheeks should have added to her playfulness, but at this moment she looked pitiful because of her fear.

"You seem to be afraid?" Li Chenzhou asked calmly.

"No...no...I'm not afraid of you!"

The girl's voice trembled, and she instinctively shrank back, almost wanting to bury her head in her chest.

Her cultivation level was only at the Dao Palace level, but facing the man in front of her, the absolute suppression of his life level made her soul tremble.

"Oh? Then why are you trembling?"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were overjoyed.

Nearly two years after their separation from Qingdi Tomb, they realized the dire situation of being jointly hunted down by the two great holy families, and they were constantly worried about Li Chenzhou.

Reunited at this moment, a huge weight has been lifted from my heart, and my joy is beyond words.

"Sinking Boat! It really is you!"

"I knew you'd be alright!"

Li Chenzhou looked at his two old friends, a hint of warmth appearing in his eyes: "Of course it's nothing. However, while we are happy to be reunited, we still need to get rid of some annoying flies first."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue's face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Li Chenzhou in horror.

Ye Fan seemed to have thought of something and opened his mouth to speak.

But Li Chenzhou did not move; he simply raised his eyes and looked up at the sky.

One breath later.

A captivating, alluring laugh, soft and sweet yet carrying a hint of icy killing intent, drifted from the woods:

"Little Leaf, you don't need to run anymore, I'll make sure you're safe."

"Oh? Little Sister Ziyue is here too? I've been looking for her for ages!"

Ye Fan turned around and saw a woman in a long emerald green dress walking gracefully towards him.

She was tall and graceful, with skin as white as snow. A pale blue moon hung above her head, and five-colored divine thunder trod beneath her feet. Her jade feet were spotless and gleamed with a warm luster, like a finely crafted work of art.

Her eyes sparkled with allure, exuding endless temptation; she was clearly a radiant enchantress, yet her tone was as soft as a lover's whisper.

"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked in a deep voice, protectively shielding Ji Ziyue behind him.

"This humble servant is Ji Biyue."

The woman smiled radiantly, her gaze sweeping over the group before finally settling on Ji Ziyue. "Sister Ziyue, you seem to have just returned from some wild revelry with your three little lovers in the mountains and bushes. Tsk tsk, if word gets out that the pearl of the Ji family is so dissolute, where will the reputation of the ancient Ji family be?"

Her tone was gentle and smiling, but her words were as vicious as knives.

Ji Ziyue was trembling with anger and fear.

Ji Biyue's cultivation level is far higher than hers. She has already entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm for many years and is ruthless. It is unlikely that things will end well for her today.

"She's the one who wants to kill me," Ji Ziyue whispered to Ye Fan, her voice filled with despair.

Are you talking about me?
