Covering the Sky: My path to becoming an emperor is invincible, thanks to my fellow cultivation of Y

Xu Sheng, dressed in a gray robe, stood calmly in the void, his bald face showing no change in expression despite his opponent's psychological tactics.

Wait, bald?

Many cultivators rubbed their eyes and looked again, but he was still bald. Wasn't the Longevity Temple a Taoist temple? How could this Xu Sheng be bald?

Moreover, this gray robe looks a lot like that of an ascetic monk!

Many people gasped. All the cultivators present were shocked. Could it really be as Ye Liuyun said, that Xu Sheng's Dao heart had collapsed after losing to the Three Missing Daoist? And that he had even entered the Buddhist order?

Is it true?

Li Wangxian stared intently at the gray-clad youth in the arena, and finally smiled. All he saw was determination, without a trace of despondency or despair.

"Xu Sheng is not the kind of fragile person. His bald head is because he has been tempered in the lightning field for many years. His hair regeneration rate cannot keep up with the ravages of lightning, so he simply shaved his head."

An elderly resident of Leicheng, who was in the know, said this at the time.

"Indeed, his Dao heart is stronger than iron. He once lost to Daoist Sanque and, after much reflection, he realized that he had cultivated too quickly in the past, resulting in insufficient foundation. He did not undergo the baptism of heavenly tribulation during the Four Extremes, which is why he was defeated by Daoist Sanque."

Therefore, he came to the Ninefold Thunder Domain to cultivate diligently, repeatedly risking his life to venture into deeper layers of the Thunder Domain, all to gain the strongest tempering and forge the strongest foundation for his Dao, so that he could fight the Three-Lacking Daoist once again.

Another cultivator spoke up, revealing a great secret that made many people gasp for breath and feel extremely excited, because it meant that the battle for the Holy Son might break out again at the Mingling Longevity Temple in the near future.

Ye Liuyun, who was in the arena, also heard these words. At this moment, two piercing glints appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "You deliberately stopped me to test my combat strength? What do you take me for?"

Upon hearing this, the later cultivators were greatly surprised. It turned out that it was Xu Sheng who had approached Ye Liuyun, which led to this impending battle between the Holy Sons.

The cultivators who had witnessed the incident earlier suddenly understood why they hadn't heard of any conflict between the two. However, Xu Sheng suddenly stopped Ye Liuyun and was about to attack him. It turned out that he wanted to use a holy son to test Ye Liuyun's combat strength.

People were horrified when they thought of this. How could he be so confident as to use a holy son to test his results? Just how strong was he?

Chapter 20 The Holy Son's Power

In the Ninefold Thunder Domain, a vast and seemingly endless expanse of lightning, two holy sons are about to engage in a great battle. After all, having come this far, this battle is now unavoidable.

Ye Liuyun, already beyond furious, didn't want to say anything more. Only the blood of his opponent could wash away the humiliation he had suffered.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a unique technique from the Azure Heaven Sect, instantly unleashing ten thousand sword energies that flowed like a river, pressing down on Xu Sheng as if a piece of azure sky were falling.

At this moment, many people were terrified, felt suffocated, and were overwhelmed by the immense pressure.

"What kind of supernatural power is this? Isn't it a sword technique? It should be extremely fierce, so why does it give people such great pressure, as if the sky has collapsed and a piece of the sky has fallen?"

One of the cultivators, unable to withstand the pressure, asked loudly in confusion.

"Heavens! This is the peerless sword technique of the Azure Sky Sect, the renowned Ten Thousand Mile Sky Sword of the Divine Continent, which Ye Liuyun has actually mastered!"

A knowledgeable cultivator exclaimed that this sword technique had once dominated the Divine Continent for an era and was a closely guarded secret of the Azure Heaven Sect. It was generally only those selected as the successors to the Holy Lord among the younger generation who could learn it.

Many people were shocked. Even a holy son should not be able to receive this sword technique so quickly. Could it be that Ye Liuyun has already been designated as the future holy master of Qingtian Sect?

"A very powerful sword technique!" Li Wangxian's face also showed a hint of surprise. This sword technique was extraordinary and should be a Saint-level sword technique. The original work did not describe Ziwei much, but the vast territory of Ziwei Ancient Star could not possibly contain only the few forces that appeared in the original work.

"Unfortunately, the person using it is not good enough." Li Wangxian shook his head. Although it was the first time he had seen this method, he could see that although Ye Liuyun could use this sword technique, he could not show many of the profound meanings. It was just a formality.

If everyone present knew what he was thinking, they would think he was crazy. Ye Liuyun's sword technique was incredibly powerful, and the sword intent was like the sky falling down, making everyone present breathless. How could he think that Ye Liuyun was no good?

Does he really think he's some kind of young emperor?

Even Xu Sheng in the arena wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!

But Xu Sheng in the arena was really arrogant. To everyone's astonishment, he did not use any amazing divine techniques such as the Longevity Technique, but instead forcefully broke into the sea of ​​swords with his physical body.

"Your sword sea and sword intent are far inferior to the world-destroying heavenly punishment in the Thunder Domain."

Xu Sheng's body glowed with a shimmering light, and the Thunder Dao technique in his hands unleashed its power to counter the sword energy shooting towards him, attempting to forcefully blast open the sea of ​​swords, while ignoring the sword energy beside him.

For a moment, he roamed freely in the sea of ​​swords, as if he were in an empty land. The incredibly sharp and incomparably powerful sword light beside him could not even cut his physical body, which shocked everyone present so much that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Ye Liuyun's Ten Thousand Miles Sky Sword possessed a sharp and vast sword intent, with divine light soaring into the sky. Each sword qi could pose a certain threat to cultivators of the Four Extremes. Now, with ten thousand sword qi unleashed simultaneously, causing chaos and upheaval, it should be able to kill a large number of cultivators of the Four Extremes.

At least many of the cultivators present believed that even if ten of them went up there, they would be instantly killed without any suspense. Yet now someone was treating such an unparalleled and terrifying sword technique as nothing. This was too terrifying and a blow to their confidence.

This shouldn't be happening! Many people found it hard to accept and tried to look into the sea of ​​swords to find the reason. But what they saw made many people cry out in shock.

"His body radiates golden light, making him virtually impervious to all magic. Has Xu Sheng cultivated a golden body?"

Some people's voices trembled as they spoke, their minds unsettled by this conjecture. If it were true, would the Temple of Longevity produce another outstanding person with the potential to become emperor?

"You've cultivated a golden body? I don't believe it!" Ye Liuyun let out a long roar, and a holy sword materialized, colliding powerfully with Xu Sheng, who had broken through the sea of ​​swords.

"Boom boom boom"

With sharp sword light and thunderous roar, the two saintly geniuses engaged in an earth-shattering clash. In an instant, sword intent and lightning crisscrossed the area. The two exchanged over a hundred blows in a flash, fighting from the sky to the ground. The aftershocks shattered the earth, leaving it in ruins.

"Is Ye Liuyun really that strong? How could he fight so fiercely against Xu Sheng, who has cultivated a golden body?" someone asked in confusion.

"Wait, Xu Sheng's golden body has been broken? And blood is trickling from the corner of his mouth?"

A sharp-eyed cultivator noticed that Xu Sheng, who was using an unknown thunder technique to counter Ye Liuyun's Eternal Sky Sword Intent, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, as if he had been injured by the sword intent.

This is shocking. Is Ye Liuyun really that terrifying?

You know, in the past, the legends of cultivators who achieved the Golden Body were invincible myths, right? But now Ye Liuyun has actually broken through it?

"That's nothing, it's just a minor physical supernatural power, it's far from being a golden body."

Li Wangxian couldn't stand it anymore. At this moment, he curled his lips and spoke coldly.

This kind of rubbish performance shouldn't be used to tarnish the reputation of the organization!

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, both by the news and by his slightly disrespectful tone.

Is this person simply praising the power of the golden body? Or is he disdainful of the two holy sons?

Or perhaps a combination of both?

While the others were unaware, his words dispelled the doubts of some cultivators, as Xu Sheng's performance did indeed contradict the golden body described in ancient texts.

“This young friend is right. This should be a kind of physical supernatural power, rather than the attainment of a golden body.”

Some people were startled. If Ye Liuyun was so terrifying that he could pierce through the golden body with a sword, he should have been as famous as Lu Ya and Yi Qingwu in Ziwei long ago, instead of not even standing out among the Holy Sons.

Of course, after this battle, Ye Liuyun's reputation will rise to a new level. Being able to wield the Ten Thousand Mile Sky Sword to such an extent and forcefully suppress Xu Sheng, who had been honing his skills in the Ninefold Thunder Domain for several years, shows that perhaps everyone had underestimated him in the past.

After all, although the two were fighting fiercely and seemingly evenly matched, Xu Shengdu had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, while Ye Liuyun was unharmed, making it seem as if the outcome was already clear.

Therefore, at this moment, a cultivator praised, "Ye Liuyun is a genius. He has mastered the Ten Thousand Miles Sky Sword Technique to perfection and has powerfully suppressed Xu Sheng. He may one day be on the path to becoming a Great Emperor."

Li Wangxian's lips twitched again. This seemingly insignificant passerby could be frighteningly knowledgeable at times, but at other times his perspective seemed shockingly narrow.

How dare someone of this caliber claim to have traversed the Heavenly Road? Don't be ridiculous. On the ancient road of stars, such a person doesn't even deserve to reveal their name.

Fortunately, this time Li Wangxian didn't need to come out to refute, as a renowned figure spoke up and said, "No, it's Xu Sheng who's going to win. Ye Liuyun is no match for him."

"How could that be? Xu Sheng is already bleeding, while Ye Liuyun is still fighting him fiercely."

Some people were puzzled. The situation seemed clear, but no one dared to refute it because someone recognized the old master. He was very knowledgeable and had a keen eye, so he rarely made a mistake.

The veteran was also puzzled by this. He could clearly see that although the two seemed to be evenly matched in the duel, Ye Liuyun was already struggling and fighting hard. It was only because the battle between the two was too intense that it appeared to be a draw.

"No, Xu Sheng's injury doesn't seem to be caused by sword intent. There seems to be a flash of lightning in the blood that is flowing out?"

A sharp-eyed cultivator then made an astonishing discovery that suddenly enlightened everyone.

"That's right. Xu Sheng has just emerged from the lightning domain and hasn't fully recovered from the injuries caused by the lightning, which is why there's blood trickling from the corner of his mouth."

Chapter 21 War Breaks Out Again

"How terrifying is Xu Sheng! He's injured, yet he still dares to use Ye Liuyun to test his combat strength like this."

"After years of honing his skills, has he truly gained the strength to challenge the Three-Lacking Taoist?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and their opinion of Xu Sheng rose even higher. Some believed that after he transformed into a dragon, he might actually be able to fight against the Three-Missing Daoist. Some people had already begun to look forward to it.

Meanwhile, the battle between the two intensified. Xu Sheng unleashed a series of lightning punches. After the fierce battle, his understanding of the Dao of Thunder seemed to have reached its peak. With each punch, the heavens and earth roared. He descended like a thunder god, bringing down heavenly punishment with thousands of lightning bolts.

Ye Liuyun was retreating step by step. With each swing of his holy sword, the sword energy was still incomparably sharp, cutting through layers of lightning. However, the sword intent that once looked down on the world, cut through the heavens, and turned the sky into a sword was gradually fading away, and that indescribable aura was gone.

"Am I going to lose?" This thought, which had never crossed Ye Liuyun's mind before, flashed through his mind. He had been suppressed all along. His opponent was as if he had cultivated the legendary golden body. His sword techniques were sharp and unparalleled, but they could not cut through the opponent's body at all. On the contrary, his opponent's moves were powerful and heavy, and difficult to resist.

Now, his opponents are getting stronger and more confident with each battle, making him feel that he is powerless to turn the tide and that defeat is inevitable no matter what he does.

Are we going to admit defeat?

It seems that we have no choice but to admit defeat. We can't even cut the opponent's physical body. What else can we do but admit defeat?

But as soon as this thought appeared, Ye Liuyun was jolted awake by a roar in his mind. This made him instantly furious. When did I start to think that I was doomed to defeat and that I didn't even have the courage to fight back?

"The stars are falling in the west across the vast sky."

Enraged, Ye Liuyun let out a long roar and unleashed the ultimate technique of the Ten Thousand Mile Sky Sword. Stars fell in the west, tearing through the eternal sky. In an instant, the holy sword in his hand burst forth with boundless holy light, illuminating the entire world as he attacked his enemy.

At this moment, it was as if he was no longer wielding a sword, but rather severing a sun from the heavens to attack his enemy; his divine power was astonishing.

Seeing this, almost simultaneously, Xu Sheng also unleashed his thunderous divine powers.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Prison".

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning flashed across the heavens and earth, and the world seemed to have transformed into a small world dominated by thunder.

"Boom!"

The two unparalleled divine powers collided, and boundless divine light burst forth between heaven and earth. Nothing could be seen in the center of the battlefield except for the endless aftershocks. Sword energy shot out, and amidst the thunderous roar, mountains were cleaved and the earth was shattered.

Who won?

This is the question on everyone's mind right now: Will Xu Sheng return in force after several years of silence?

Or was it Ye Liuyun's heaven-defying sword that severed everything?

It's hard to say. In the past, people would have thought that Xu Sheng had a better chance of winning, but Ye Liuyun's last sword was too amazing. The sword technique that seemed to cut down the stars in the sky was really too terrifying, which made people feel infinite confidence without realizing it.

Finally, the divine light dissipated, and people could see the outcome of the battle.

"In the end, he did not defy fate; Xu Sheng won."

On the battlefield, the two holy sons, one standing and the other holding half a holy sword, were barely kneeling to keep themselves from falling.

Standing there was Xu Sheng, and the one holding the broken sword was naturally Ye Liuyun. At this moment, his entire body was charred black, and he was spitting out large amounts of blood from the corners of his mouth, making for a rather frightening sight.

People from the Qingtian Sect rushed forward to offer various healing medicines, and then hurriedly carried away Ye Liuyun, who had been staring intently at Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng didn't care about any of that. He was also covered in blood, from his own opponents and his own. He was thinking about whether his current combat strength was enough to fight against the Three-Deficient Daoist who had once been at the Four Extremes Realm.
