The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1155 The Grand Stage of Nine Heavens, Come If You Have a Dream!
Chu Feng suddenly didn't want to go to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that Longma had mentioned.

He was afraid, afraid that he might go there alive but not come back alive.

The story of Chu Daozu, who died before completing his creation of the Dharma, is somewhat abstract.

This is not unfounded worry; it is a tragedy that could actually happen.

After all, his greatest reliance was a Time Furnace... Now Chu Feng had a guess that it was most likely forged by a supreme expert above the Dao of Sacrifice.

Wielding this powerful weapon and hiding in some obscure corner, perhaps even the world's strongest warriors wouldn't be able to find him.

But, home delivery?

In places where there are anywhere from three to a group of transcendent beings clustered together, you might not even have a chance to make a move before you're caught in a sack, knocked down with a club, and then... that's it!
Chu Feng's eyes flickered, and his pace slowed subtly, drawing Long Ma's attention. "What's wrong?"

"..."

Chu Feng's expression was serious. "It's so dangerous, why didn't you say so earlier?"

“But if you want to follow the path of the Demon Ancestor, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are your only choice…” Longma smacked his lips, “His most distinctive traces and core lineage are all left there, nowhere else!”

Ryoma said, "Besides..."

It struggled to squeeze out a few tears from the corner of its eye. "If I'm not mistaken, that place is currently a chaotic mix of good and bad, the most perfect place for you to fish in troubled waters."

"If it were any other time, a being like you entering it, while not a heavyweight fish, would still be enough to create ripples, attract attention, and then cause a chain reaction, which would be noticed by the strongest beings."

A being who has achieved the status of Emperor through physical cultivation can challenge the Dao Ancestor. Although this may not seem like a groundbreaking achievement in this era, hundreds of Immortal Emperors have been born, not to mention Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

However, when one steps into a realm of countless heavens, it is enough to cause ripples. After all, in the past, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was a miracle of life that could only be created by the common reverence of all heavens!

Chu Feng understood what Long Ma meant. His strength was already powerful enough that he was not suitable to enter that realm of heavens under normal circumstances. Whether intentional or not, terrifying gazes would fall upon him, watching and staring.

Unless, of course, the timing is special!
"What happened? Why are you saying this..." Chu Feng had just asked when he looked at Longma, whose eyes were slightly wet with tears, and suddenly understood something, feeling a sense of sympathy for him.

"I understand... It's because your powerful backers have fallen? Too many powerful figures died, causing this earth-shattering upheaval, is that it?"

“Indeed,” Longma sighed. “They died, and died tragically. All the powerful figures at the Immortal Emperor level were wiped out. As for the stronger ones, I don’t know where they are now. Perhaps they are doing well, or perhaps they are in even worse shape…”

"Their deaths have fallen like a boulder upon the circle of top experts who have attained Dao in this era. Who could not be terrified?"

"In circles you're unaware of, those Celestial Emperors are all taking action, either secretly investigating certain clues or aggressively pushing forward certain plans..."

"Furthermore, the tragic deaths of so many Immortal Emperors, though shocking and horrifying... also signify immense opportunities. Exploring deep into those realms might just lead to some unparalleled treasure."

"The timid starve, the bold feast... There are quite a few well-informed Quasi-Immortal Emperors who have already set off!"

"Aren't they afraid?" Chu Feng asked. "The deaths of so many emperors are terrifying consequences. Even if they have the opportunity to become immortal emperors... So many emperors have already died, are they afraid of adding another one to the list?"

"If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening... Moreover, the realm of Immortal Emperor is extraordinary. It can be said to be the most crucial transformation on the path of cultivation. It is to break free from the cycle of reincarnation. If you keep it in mind, it will surely resonate."

Longma began to explain in detail.

"Even if a deadly calamity is imminent, there might still be a sliver of hope left. That alone is enough to make those peak Quasi-Immortal Emperors fight to the death."

"Moreover, there are some Immortal Emperors of this era secretly stirring things up... They dare not easily get involved or risk their lives, but they not only have the guts to instigate some Quasi-Immortal Emperors to be cannon fodder for scouting, they have a great deal of guts..."

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
Chu Feng understood completely.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have now become a super vortex, stirring up the winds and clouds of the human world and attracting the attention of powerful figures from all ages.

The grand stage of Jiutian awaits you – if you have a dream, come and join us!
Openly and secretly, countless powerful figures are fighting and underhanded forces are emerging—too many to count!

It's so chaotic that no one can see anything clearly, making it perfect for taking advantage of a confusion!

"Yes……"

Chu Feng pondered, "A group of Immortal Emperors died violently... Even the death of a rabbit evokes sorrow in the fox, how could the other Immortal Emperors not be horrified and try every means to investigate?"

"Even the beings involved in the rituals will make their own moves, unwilling to remain silent..."

Chaos brings disaster, but it also contains opportunities for advancement.

"The world is about to descend into chaos..."

A sudden realization dawned on Chu Feng, followed by a mix of sorrow and relief.

It was a tragedy that the small village that had once nurtured him, the villagers who were no weaker than the Celestial Emperor, died so cleanly and decisively, without causing the slightest ripple in the mortal world, unknown to anyone, their traces completely covered up.
I'm still glad that I died peacefully, and that my soul won't be disturbed by a pack of ambitious hyenas who would chase after me by my scent.
Chu Feng's emotions were complex, and he couldn't quite distinguish the various feelings at the moment.

In the end, he calmed down.

"Since that realm of heavens will be quite lively, I might as well join in the fun..."

Chu Feng murmured, even though it was a den of dragons and tigers.

However, the water is muddy enough, and there are enough people to take the fall. I believe it is enough for him to use the supreme supernatural power of "retreating behind everyone" and sacrifice his fellow Daoists to save himself!
Once he made up his mind, his speed increased again, chasing time, crossing the endless sea of ​​time, and heading to the myriad worlds at the coordinates given by the dragon horse.

It seemed like a fleeting moment, yet it also felt like an eternity.

Finally, he descended from beyond the world and arrived at a realm beyond the heavens.

As soon as he arrived, Chu Feng felt an overwhelming aura impact... The immense power gathered from all the heavens and myriad worlds was too terrifying, and the impact on him, a cultivator who walked the field of magic, imitated all the heavenly and earthly forces, and traced the past existences, was too strong!

Fortunately, it was just a fleeting moment of sensation that vanished, like a dream bubble.

"call!"

Chu Feng let out a long breath, calmed his mind, and looked at the heavens with a slight change in his expression.

There, time seemed to stand still, and the void seemed to solidify. If a sword light were shining there, it would be unparalleled throughout eternity, capable of severing all prying eyes and covetousness!
However, upon closer inspection, it was not a sword light, but a city that stood horizontally—the Imperial Pass! A boundless aura surged forth, blocking the way before the heavens—a symbol of suppression and protection!
On the city wall, eight hundred veterans, clad in armor and wielding spears, were connected with the aura of the Imperial Pass. Each of them exuded imperial power, like quasi-immortal emperors standing shoulder to shoulder, guarding the peace of the heavens!
This is not empty talk; it is peace written in blood… On the city wall hang nine heads, from different races and heavens. Each head exudes a powerful aura. Chu Feng observed that they had all progressed far beyond the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, almost reaching the peak of that level. If they took another step, they might become true Immortal Emperors!
But they all died, their heads were cut off and hung on the Imperial Pass as a warning to all living beings who descended upon this land that this was not a place where they could run rampant!

"This is……"

Chu Feng, hidden deep within time and space, looked at the dragon horse with a questioning gaze.

"They were once the followers of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, eight hundred of his soldiers..." Longma said, revealing their origins, "They once followed the Desolate Heavenly Emperor in his conquests, fighting against strange and ominous forces, truly seasoned warriors, having fought in the most brutal and bloody battles..."

"Having gone through life and death, the Desolate Emperor even baptized them with his own blood; each of them can be considered an unparalleled figure in the field of combat..."

"Young Chu, don't think you can look down on the world just because you've achieved the Body Emperor realm and opened your own path... In a battle against these veterans of the same realm, even if you win, you'll still get splattered with blood..."

Longma recounted his past, which filled Chu Feng with awe.

He carefully examined the veterans; each one exuded murderous intent, and the strongest seemed to be at the level of an Immortal Emperor, their quality terrifyingly high.

Suddenly, the commander of the eight hundred veterans looked up, his eyes cold and his killing intent piercing the eternal sky!
He suddenly wielded his heavenly halberd, severing the past and present, and the long river of time itself faded into nothingness at that moment!

Wherever Tian Ge passes, the sea of ​​time seems to boil, the stars shift, the world changes, and an instant becomes eternity!

Amidst the roar, a sharp, invincible blade, seemingly capable of destroying billions of worlds, pierced into what appeared to be nothingness!

boom!
The void collapsed, revealing a blurry figure that had been pierced by Tian Ge!

"what!"

A roar rang out, and extreme pain ensued. The figure's head was severed, flying diagonally before exploding. Then, the body also disintegrated under the sharpness of the Heavenly Halberd, turning into shattered bones and blood mist!
This is a devastating massacre!
Destroy all things, destroy everything, even cause and effect are being destroyed and annihilated!

However, this figure was no pushover either.

"Roar!"

A beam of soul light broke free from the blood mist, roaring and raging, igniting an unnamed fire that burned the blood mist and shattered bones, creating a terrifying aura that seemed to annihilate both time and space.

In the flames, blood and bones turned to ashes, but a jet-black golden elixir rose up, spinning rapidly. The next moment, a body grew out, transforming into a living person!
Reborn, reappearing, its aura twisted and changed, transcending the cause and effect of the past, so that even the killing power comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor could not completely strangle or destroy it from the level of cause and effect!
Because cause and effect cannot break the cycle of reincarnation!
Reincarnation severs all cause and effect. In that instant, the figure seemed to be reborn, and naturally escaped the calamity!
However, the price he paid was also terrible. His face was deathly pale, and he was forced to retreat through countless dimensions, roaring angrily, "We have no enmity between us, why do you intend to kill me?!"

He shouted, simultaneously transmitting his voice in all directions, "Fellow practitioners, this city is hindering us, its hostility is obvious. With it here, we have no freedom. Let us join forces to attack and destroy it!"

However, there was no response when trying to transmit the message.

The hidden creatures were all very calm and patient.

On the city gate, the commander who made the move had a cold look in his eyes.

"Interesting, Golden Elixir Technique... Evil Spirit Soul..."

"The Golden Elixir Technique forges an indestructible body, seals away evil spirits, and creates an immortal and indestructible soul..."

"Emperor Ye's techniques are indeed astonishing throughout the ages. Every being who has cultivated to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is very difficult to kill, and he has more than one extra life..."

As he spoke, the commander was somewhat moved.

The path of this era is indeed bizarre; everyone is vying to become mentally unstable, taking multiple paths, and desperately wanting to progress.

However, its strength is undeniable.

It was really difficult to deal with an old-fashioned cultivator like him who was "conservative" and insisted on the path of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. He was so bad that he was not killed in one move!
“You harbor malice and your soul contains evil light, which has triggered a response from this city. If I allow you to enter the heavens behind me, you will surely stop at nothing and cause a bloody disaster. How can I stand by and watch?”

After his initial remark, the commander's voice turned icy cold: "We welcome friends with fine wine, but we welcome unwelcome guests with swords and spears!"

"Our community welcomes all peaceful and honest exchanges... but if someone comes with malice, we will not let them off the hook!"

Having said that, he made his move again.

The Heavenly Halberd moves again, vast and boundless, like a world of myriad realms being wielded, or like a long river of time being drawn out, covering immeasurable space and time, crushing down in the most explosive manner!

Wherever Tian Ge pointed, the blurry figure turned pale. He tried his best to escape to the end of time, but in a daze, he still didn't move!

Helpless and desperate, he fought desperately, using unparalleled power to reach the pinnacle of his life. A Dharma image emerged, condensed from several kinds of mother metal. Then the Dharma image stepped forward and merged with his true body, creating an unparalleled golden body!
Its golden body roars, conquering heaven and earth, indestructible through countless calamities, it's practically a divine weapon of an immortal emperor!
but!
boom!
The Imperial Pass shone with light, as if transcending the world, a flowing sword light!
Before the sword light, the past, present, and future are all severed. Every thread resonates with the Heavenly Halberd. What is eternity, what is immortality, what is indestructible? All... are rendered ineffective!

puff!
Countless streaks of blood-red light severed the immortal and shattered the indestructible, transforming into the most powerful calamity, enveloping the golden body, trapping it in the most terrifying cage, and obliterating it completely!

Boom!

The destructive light swept across the vast sky, causing countless figures to flee in terror like stray dogs. They were caught in the blast and forced to reveal themselves or hide.

At the same time, they were also closely watching the outcome of this battle.

The result was unexpected, yet it seemed not unexpected at all.

In the terrifying light, a golden body was shattered, and all talk of eternal indestructibility vanished into nothingness!

Finally, a blood-dripping, hideous head fell to the ground, was caught in the commander's hand, and hung on the city wall, alongside his nine predecessors, dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief!

"The Golden Elixir Technique is good, but it depends on who uses it..."

The commander said coldly, glancing around at the powerful figures who had been forced out, "Our realm has experienced ups and downs. Even in the face of calamity, we cannot be bullied or humiliated!"

"Those with good intentions may enter; those with malicious intentions... will be like these people!"

Even when facing powerful figures, and with the unknown possibility of even more terrifying beings lurking in the shadows, he still spoke in this manner.

"interesting……"

The wind whispers softly.
