Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you helping me?" she asked in a tense tone, exuding a dangerous aura, as if warning Jiang Yun not to act rashly.

A dazzling light erupted from his primordial spirit, and power appeared around his body, shaking the heavens and earth and causing a tremendous echo.

There were some dark creatures left behind by Jiang Yun on the path of reincarnation, but he purified them and used them to repair the ancient path.

More than 200,000 years have passed, and they have worked tirelessly to build many pavilions and towers, forming a huge ancient city. The buildings are connected together, blocking out the sun.

Their hard work has almost restored this section of the cycle of life to its former glory.

Unfortunately, at that moment, a terrifying aura reverberated along the path of reincarnation, and everything was destroyed.

The ancient palace collapsed with a roar, the stone bridge crumbled, and the Yellow Springs ceased to flow.

All the dark creatures trembled with fear, as if witnessing the end of the world. They lay on the ground, shivering, awaiting their fate, daring not to resist in the slightest.

Even the seal left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was affected, emitting a dazzling light.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun finally spoke.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to help you escape, but I'm thinking about other things. I've already joined the Underworld and taken over your dojo. If you return, what will become of me?"

This statement seemed somewhat selfish, but it dispelled Xuan Niao's doubts; Jiang Yun's concerns were reasonable.

Moreover, Jiang Yun has already joined the Underworld. Even if he really wanted to harm me, he couldn't kill me. This is an ironclad rule of the strange race, and Jiang Yun couldn't possibly violate it.

She relaxed and thought to herself that perhaps she was being too suspicious. Jiang Yun was just weighing the pros and cons and didn't have any malicious intent.

She was somewhat displeased, but still withdrew her aura.

At this moment, the dark beings in the cycle of reincarnation finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a catastrophe and stood up again, facing the collapsed ancient city and buildings with no tears left to shed.

More than 200,000 years of hard work vanished into thin air before the wrath of the Dao Ancestor.

"Sigh! Let's start over!"

The dark creatures were helpless.

Deep within the cycle of reincarnation, the Black Bird fell into deep thought. She was unwilling to give up the Daoist temple in the abyss, not only because she had spent countless years there, but also because she did not want to leave Houming.

Much later, the Black Bird did not answer Jiang Yun's question, but instead inquired about the events that had occurred over the past two hundred thousand years.

Jiang Yun spoke fluently and confidently, recounting how he entered the Underworld and how he inherited the Xuan Bird's Daoist temple, cultivating alongside Hou Ming.

As for how he survived the sword light, it was only mentioned briefly and not elaborated upon.

It is only said that when he was young, he entered a ruin left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and obtained some kind of secret technique.

This claim has many flaws. Perhaps someone will press for details about this secret technique, try to cross the sword light, and even discover the flaws in the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Dao technique.

However, Jiang Yun was not worried. The sword light left behind by the Desolate Emperor was about to disappear, and everything would vanish with the wind, making it impossible to verify the authenticity of the so-called secret technique.

They could also argue that the sword light that separated the boundary sea had another hidden story, containing a unique Dao that was not the Dao of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor himself.

When Jiang Yun spoke of Hou Ming, his tone softened slightly. Xuan Niao keenly noticed this and felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Jiang Yun occupied her dojo and was so intimate with Hou Ming, it was as if she had already fallen, inherited her legacy, and stolen her past.

The black bird harbored resentment in its heart. Once it was freed, it would definitely take everything back. Jiang Yun was ultimately a latecomer and could never compare to it.

However, Jiang Yun soon brought up the imperial decree.

The order was given to send Dao Ancestors from the four primordial lands to assist in the battle. Thirty-nine Dao Ancestors went to war together, their power was so great that it was hard to resist and almost changed the course of the battle. However, the Desolate Heaven Emperor unleashed an invincible sword strike. The sword light fell, causing many strange Dao Ancestors to perish.

This made Xuan Niao put aside her previous thoughts, and she felt a little scared. If she had stayed in the underworld, she would definitely have been transferred and might have met with the misfortune of death.

Soon, Jiang Yun started talking about the great battle between the Immortal Emperors, which attracted all of Xuan Niao's attention, making her forget everything and her primordial spirit subconsciously move closer to Jiang Yun.

"You mean the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the three Immortal Emperors of the Ancestral Land engaged in a final battle, and a victor was decided? What was the result?" Xuan Niao pressed, her tone anxious, filled with resentment towards the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and a desire for his defeat.

Jiang Yun did not hide anything and recounted the entire process of the battle. That battle had a great impact on Jiang Yun, and everything was still vivid in his mind, as if it had happened not long ago.

He recreated the scene vividly, making the black bird feel as if it were there.

When talking about the fall of the mysterious Immortal Emperor, he also revealed just the right amount of worry and anger.

Xuan Niao's heart was in turmoil, hoping to hear news of the Desolate Emperor's defeat, but the result greatly disappointed her. The Desolate Emperor not only did not lose, but also killed one of the strange immortal emperors, and the other two strange immortal emperors left in a hurry.

He fought against three opponents single-handedly, holding his own and even killing one of his most formidable enemies.

In fact, if it weren't for the existence of the ancestral land, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor would definitely have launched a powerful pursuit, causing these two strange Immortal Emperors to perish.

This was something the Black Bird could hardly imagine. How could the Desolate Heavenly Emperor be so powerful? He was just a powerful figure who had risen to prominence in the last two million years. It was simply unreasonable.

Throughout countless sacrificial rites, it has always been the strange race that initiates the grand sacrifices, causing other living beings to bleed. When has it ever been anyone's turn to kill a powerful being of the strange race?
This Desolate Heavenly Emperor could seal himself away, but even the Strange Immortal Emperor was no match for him!

She was lost in deep shock and thought, unaware that Jiang Yun had already arrived beside her primordial spirit, with nine stone artifacts faintly appearing behind her, and the image of a huge stone millstone also appearing above her head, enveloping both of them.

If she saw this scene, she would definitely find it familiar. They were all powerful treasures from the underworld. Although they were not the original forms, they still had a certain charm, exuding a mysterious aura and possessing unimaginable abilities.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's eyes showed a hint of relief. It was worth the effort he had put into telling Xuan Niao about the sea sacrifice and what had happened above the heavens; it had indeed shaken her resolve and caused her to reveal her weakness.

His cultivation level surpasses that of Xuan Niao, and he has even conducted experiments with the Evil Emperor. He should be able to convert her, but he is still worried about accidents and that Xuan Niao might not submit and suffer severe injuries in the confrontation.

Moreover, the Black Bird is different from the Evil Emperor. It has been in darkness for countless years and only rose and transformed through countless battles. It was the winner of the brutal competition.

Trying to convert the Black Bird might present unimaginable difficulties.

Unlike the Evil Emperor, who had not yet fallen into darkness and whose origins were not severely tainted, Jiang Yun accomplished this with ease.

Xuan Niao was, after all, a Dao Ancestor who had fallen into darkness several sacrificial years ago. Its ominous and eerie aura had long been deeply ingrained in its bones, making it far more difficult to be corrupted than the Evil Emperor.

However, Jiang Yun was quite confident.

He wanted the Black Bird to return to the Underworld safely, which would greatly help him.

To do this, he was willing to waste a lot of time.

hum!
The projection of the stone artifacts enveloped the Xuan Bird's primordial spirit, radiating an inexplicable glow, and the phantom of the stone millstone swayed accordingly.
The nine sets of stone tools, imbued with traces of the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, possess incredible power. The stone millstone alone is enough to crush the eeriness and ominousness within the bones of an Immortal Emperor. Its level is unimaginably high, even surpassing the realm of sacrificial rituals. Its creator's identity is beyond description and comprehension.

The projection that Jiang Yun cast was far inferior to the stone artifact itself, but it still contained unimaginable mysteries.

Runes appeared in the air, all of which Jiang Yun had comprehended from the stone millstone.

These runes combined to form an ancient and profound scripture. Ancient murmurs arose, and the laws of the Great Dao appeared and disappeared, causing the Xuan Bird's eyes to gradually become unfocused.

"Jiang Yun, what are you doing?"

At this moment, she finally realized something was wrong. Coming back to her senses, a powerful force surged from her primordial spirit, attempting to break free from the projection's constraints, but she failed.

The stone projection held her firmly in place, preventing her from escaping easily.

Jiang Yun's strength and realm have far surpassed hers, and the Xuan Bird has not yet completely escaped its confinement; only its primordial spirit has broken free of the seal.

If Jiang Yun hadn't been worried about injuring the Xuan Bird and causing his cultivation level to drop, he wouldn't have had any reservations and might have already converted the Xuan Bird.

Jiang Yun remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the struggles of the black bird. His fingers flew, shooting out beams of golden light that shone on the projections of the nine sets of stone tools and the stone millstone.

These golden lights resembled a cage, with nine sets of stone artifacts projected at the top and the phantom of a stone millstone at the bottom, trapping the black bird within.

At this moment, the more than nine million bloodlines within Jiang Yun's body were boiling. These bloodlines had already merged with his body and were usually difficult to manifest, only appearing when he summoned the nine sets of stone artifact projections.

The abundant blood and qi were transformed into fuel, which was supplied to the nine sets of stone tool projections.

At the same time, his divine sense was rapidly depleted, maintaining the illusory image of the millstone.

The phantom of the millstone began to slowly rotate, emitting a terrifying attraction that sought to draw the primordial spirit of the Black Bird into it.

This was a powerful force, containing an aura of destruction. The black bird's eyes widened, feeling that if it were sucked into the phantom, it would be crushed and perish completely.

Her eyes were filled with fear and rage as she used all her strength to resist, even attempting to condense that terrifying flame to break through the seal and release her true form.

Even if it leads to unbearable consequences, she is willing to do it.

The Xuan Bird's body emitted countless golden rays, its blood and energy boiling. This energy, accumulated in preparation for breaking free from the seal, was now being unleashed without reservation to counter Jiang Yun's methods.

boom!
Another loud noise rang out, and this section of the cycle suffered another devastating blow.

The dark creature, who was about to rebuild the pavilions and towers, trembled with fear, almost thinking that the crisis of world destruction was about to arrive. It could not understand why it had been hit by such shocks one after another. More than 200,000 years of hard work had been destroyed in an instant, and it was beyond tears.

A fierce wind arose, and the final struggle of the Black Bird unleashed a powerful force that blew away the buildings on the Cycle of Reincarnation, and even affected many dark creatures, who were blown far away.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly, not worried about the Xuan Bird's resistance. The gap between them was too great; the Xuan Bird was no match for him.

He was just worried that the Xuan Bird would damage its Dao foundation in the process of resisting, and it would be bad if it completely fell from the Dao Ancestor level.

"Black Bird, you don't need to do this! I don't want to kill you, but to enlighten you!"

Jiang Yun spoke slowly, his voice carrying a calming power. This was a method from the Thirty-Six Volumes of the Heavenly Gang, a technique contributed by the Evil Emperor.

Back then, Yin Hong, the good disciple of the Evil Emperor, used this method to deceive hundreds of Immortal Kings in an attempt to complete a grand sacrifice and become the fuel for his breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

This technique, when applied to sound, can captivate the listener. Jiang Yun summarized and concluded that its power was far greater than that displayed by Yin Hong.

At first, the method worked; the black bird's eyes became slightly unfocused, its resistance weakened, and even the golden light of its true form dimmed.

But for some reason, she suddenly started trembling all over again, as if she had seen a terrifying scene. The power was pulled away again, and she resisted even at the cost of damaging her own source.

"No! You can't!"

Jiang Yun's heart stirred, and his eyes shot out boundless light as he stared directly at the Xuan Bird's primordial spirit, trying to figure out why she was acting this way.

The next moment, he entered the primordial spirit of the Black Bird and returned to the distant past.

An incredibly powerful figure held the Xuan Bird captive, possessing unimaginable strength. The Xuan Bird mobilized all its power to break free, but to no avail.

Even in Jiang Yun's opinion, this figure was too powerful; he couldn't possibly contend with him.

At this time, the Black Bird was not the same as the one Jiang Yun had seen. It was radiant with countless rays of light, with six wings and three legs, and its aura was very powerful.

However, in front of this human figure, the black bird was no different from an ordinary chicken or duck, and could only be slaughtered at will.

The figure waved its hand, plucking feathers and tearing off legs, snapping off all the wings and golden feet of the Xuan Bird. Golden blood flew everywhere, each drop a rare and precious medicine, which the figure gathered together with the wings and golden feet in a cauldron!
"Ah! Spare my life!"

The screams of the black bird echoed in his memory, causing Jiang Yun to frown. He had realized that the figure belonged to the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

This is the scene of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor cooking back then, which has become an inescapable nightmare in the heart of the Black Bird, one that it can never forget.

When she faced another crisis, she immediately recalled it, which is why she lost control and fought back desperately.

Jiang Yun shook his head helplessly. He had originally thought it was some kind of secret technique of the underworld or a special prohibition of the strange race, but he did not expect it to be like this. The Xuan Bird was scared out of its wits by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

He took one last look at the figure of the Desolate Emperor and grinned. This Desolate Emperor does know how to cook, using the essence blood of the Black Bird to stew meat, using the original broth to digest the original food.

No wonder he found the soup to be incredibly rich and flavorful when he ate the meat; now I understand.

He withdrew the glint in his eyes and withdrew from the primordial spirit of the black bird.

At this point, not only the cycle loop but also this part of the hive was affected, and it began to shake constantly, almost completely breaking apart.

Powerful figures emerged, only to be reduced to ashes by the impact.

These were all powerful beings who were trapped in the hive back then, but they succumbed to the passage of time and ultimately perished.

Now, the desperate resistance of the Black Birds became the last straw, and their remaining bodies were completely destroyed, disappearing into the long river of history.

However, one figure seemed unaffected, remaining unharmed amidst the tremors—that was the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Behind the Ruthless Great Emperor, Little Nannan peeked out and cast a concerned look at Jiang Yun, seemingly worried about him.

More than 200,000 years have passed, and the little girl seems to have been unaffected. Time has left no trace on her, and she remains pure and ethereal.

Having just reunited, her eyes were filled with worry for Jiang Yun, as if she feared something might have happened to him. (End of Chapter)
