Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body

Chapter 82 Li Qingshan: I said, you will be restrained by me!

boom!!!

The entire sea of ​​thunder suddenly contracted.

The endless purple-gold lightning seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, squeezed inwards, and concentrated all its power into a single point.

That spot was precisely where the Lord of Purple Heaven was located.

The Heavenly Punishment Thunder Pool simultaneously emitted light, and the thunderous magma within the pool shot skyward, transforming into a thunder pillar that pierced through heaven and earth, merging with the shrinking sea of ​​thunder.

The nine thunder dragons roared simultaneously, transforming into nine bolts of lightning that merged into that single point.

Above the sea of ​​thunder, the floating celestial thunder trembled slightly before finally falling.

It fell very slowly, so slowly that the Lord of Purple Heaven could clearly see its trajectory.

But the moment it landed, the entire desolate frontier froze.

Time stops.

Space freezes.

Everything was frozen in that instant.

The celestial lightning struck and entered the brow of the Lord of Purple Heaven.

"No!"

The Lord of Purple Heaven let out a final roar, a roar filled with endless fear and resentment.

But it was all too late.

His body began to disintegrate, starting from his brow.

Like morning dew evaporating, like all tangible things returning to nothingness.

First the head, then the torso, then the limbs.

His body is disintegrating, his principles are dissipating, and everything about him is returning to nothingness.

boom!!!

The body of the Lord of Purple Heaven exploded completely, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

Within that blood mist, fragments of purple Dao principles flickered, the essence of his lifelong cultivation flowed, and the traces of his lifelong conquests were fading away.

However, at this time...

But then an unimaginable shockwave suddenly exploded out!

The force of the fluctuation was so great that it tore apart a corner of the sea of ​​lightning, creating a passage through the endless purple-gold lightning.

A figure burst out of the passage at a speed that surpassed the limits of speed in the world, the passage of time, and the barriers of space.

It was Yunheng!

He was entirely black, with long black hair reaching his waist that stretched into a straight line behind him. His eyes were burning with a mad light, and his demonic aura was so intense that it almost solidified.

He broke through Lei Hai's blockade and rushed towards Li Qingshan's location at an incredible speed.

Yunheng knew very well that in this completely isolated world, there was no way to escape.

The only chance of survival is to kill this terrifying being before us!

His speed was extremely fast.

That speed was not just about moving; it affected the stability of the surrounding space and even disrupted the passage of time.

The Secret of the Character "行"!

This is the supreme secret technique of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, which allowed him to traverse the ancient era. It is known as the fastest speed in the world. Once unleashed, there is no place in the sky or on the ground that he cannot go, and no one he cannot catch.

At this moment, he pushed this secret technique to its limit, intending to use it to kill Li Qingshan.

"Once you encounter my Word Secret, everything will fall into place!"

Yun Geng's voice echoed in the void, carrying an arrogant disdain for the world: "I admit you are strong, but you cannot kill me today!"

"Is that so? I say, today you will be subdued by me!"

Li Qingshan gave a soft shout.

He neither retreated nor dodged; he simply raised his left hand.

That hand was long and fair, looking no different from an ordinary person's, yet it gently grasped my hand.

hum! ! !

The sky-covering net that had always surrounded this area suddenly tightened.

The giant net woven from endless darkness and the threads of cause and effect, which originally only covered the four directions and isolated the secrets of heaven, now contracted from the outside in at Li Qingshan's whim.

The network cable is thin and transparent, yet it is stronger than you can imagine.

They surged in from all directions, frantically coiling around the location where Degen was.

Yunheng's expression changed slightly, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared in another location thousands of feet away.

But those network cables seemed to have a life of their own; as soon as he appeared, they caught up and continued to entangle him.

Yunheng flashed again.

The network cable needs to be retrieved.

His speed was unbelievable; each flash exceeded the limits of human perception.

But those network cables were also incredibly fast, accurately catching up to his new location every time, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Yungeng roared and frantically activated the Xingzi Secret Technique, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the void.

The countless celestial lights and shadows covered the entire space shrouded by the Heavenly Net, each one lifelike and seemingly real.

But the network cable completely ignored those afterimages and only chased after his true form.

Wherever he goes, the network cable follows.

After a short while, Yunheng finally slowed down.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move quickly, but rather that the network cables had woven themselves into an impenetrable net, compressing his living space smaller and smaller.

Just as he slowed down slightly.

Li Qingshan stretched out his right hand, and the Heaven-Slaying Pole appeared in his palm. The verdant bamboo pole shimmered with a warm, jade-like luster under the purple-gold lightning.

With a flick of his wrist, all four fishhooks flew out at the same time.

The natal hook is a chaotic color, the immortal-slaying hook is a deep purple color, the immortal-suppressing hook is a pale gold color, and the reincarnation hook is a deep blue color.

Four fishhooks, four colors, four different styles.

The moment they took flight, they disregarded the distance in space and Yun Gen's super-fast movement, shooting towards him from four different directions.

Yunheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He sensed it.

Each of the four fishhooks locked onto a different wisp of his energy.

This energy corresponds to his very "existence".

No matter how fast he runs or where he goes, those four fishing hooks will follow.

Can't escape!

There's no escaping it!

"Damn it!"

Yunheng roared, his black hair dancing wildly, his silver eyes filled with murderous intent.

He desperately activated the Word "Xing" secret technique, pushing his speed to an unprecedented limit. His entire body shone with dazzling divine light and astonishing auspicious radiance—it was an amazing celestial light!

The power of time!

However, being trapped in the all-encompassing net and locked by those four fishhooks is like a bone-deep infection. No matter how he tries to dodge, as long as he cannot truly transcend time, the distance will continue to shrink!

Just as all four fishing hooks were about to snag him at the same time.

Yunheng suddenly stopped.

He knew there was no escape.

Four fishhooks fell at the same time, hooking his limbs.

The moment the hook tip entered the body, it felt as if something had been nailed down and locked in place.

Yunheng looked down at the four thin, transparent fishing lines extending from four directions and connecting to his body, a complex and unreadable expression on his face.

There was fear, resentment, anger, and a sense of relief that he himself was unaware of.

"So you actually managed to restrain yourself? Is this your true method?"

He looked up at Li Qingshan, his voice hoarse, "Using us as fish, cause and effect as the line, and this world as the fishing ground—what a grand scheme!"

Yunheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

The laughter was hoarse and grating, carrying an indescribable sense of sorrow.

"I have existed since the primordial era, once ruling an entire age, slaughtering all my enemies. I have been lying dormant since then, waiting only for the path to immortality to open—"

He murmured, "I thought I was waiting, lying dormant, preparing for the final ascension to immortality."

"But only today do I understand—"

He looked down at the four fishhooks that had caught him, the curve of his lips widening until it turned into a hoarse laugh.

"I'll sever myself, lie dormant for eternity, awaiting the opening of the path to immortality—hehe, hahaha—"

He laughed wildly, and he laughed sadly.

Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching him.

The laughter stopped after a moment.

"Do you know what the carefree Celestial Venerable was most proud of in his entire life?"

Yunheng raised his head, his silver eyes unusually calm.

"I know!"

Li Qingshan spoke, his tone very calm.

"And I know that you are the Carefree Celestial Venerable!"

Yunheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

"The creator of the Xingzi Secret, the most amazing existence in the ancient times, and one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables."

Li Qingshan continued, "You think that by changing your name and hiding in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, no one will recognize you?"

Yunheng remained silent.

The expression on his demonic face became extremely complex, and the light in his silver eyes flickered uncertainly.

After a long silence, he spoke, his voice hoarse.

"You knew all along?"

"What does it matter if I know or I don't?"

Li Qingshan looked at him. "Whether it's the Carefree Celestial Venerable or Yun Gen, it's just a code name. The important thing is that you're standing here now, hooked by me, waiting for me to decide your life or death!"

This is a direct statement, without any embellishment.

Yunheng's face twitched.

But he did not refute it, nor could he refute it.

"Go on."

Li Qingshan raised his chin. "What are you most proud of in your life? I'd like to hear it!"

Yunheng looked at him, a complex light flashing in his silver eyes.

"What the Celestial Venerable is most proud of is that he has seen through the true nature of this world!"

He paused, his voice hoarse.

"What supreme beings of forbidden zones, what self-mutilation to await immortality, they are nothing but a bunch of pathetic worms clinging to life."

True powerhouses have already slain everything in their path during their prime; why should they need to lie low?

"But he is different. He sees himself as a hunter, a hunter who treats all living beings as a farm. Those supreme beings in forbidden zones, those powerful beings in holy lands, those countless beings who are struggling to cultivate—in his eyes, they are nothing more than livestock that he raises, which he can harvest whenever he wants."

He thought he was at the top of the food chain, looking down upon the world!

Yunheng looked at Li Qingshan, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

"Only today did he realize that from beginning to end, he was the prey!"

"A farm?"

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow, his tone remaining calm, "You've reminded me."

Yunheng was taken aback.

Li Qingshan raised his right hand and pointed to the desolate area shrouded in immortal fire and the sky-covering net, as well as the faint traces of the Great Dao that could be seen around him, which were left by the three supreme beings who had long since perished.

"You're right. The Supreme Being stands at the pinnacle of humanity and certainly has the right to treat all living beings as a breeding ground!"

He looked at Yunheng, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Then let me ask you, what do you, the supreme beings, mean to me?"

Yunheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he remained silent.

Li Qingshan answered for him.
