Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

A sigh, as if from the endless primordial ages, spanning millions of years, seemed to echo right beside my ear, like a ghost.

What's even more peculiar is that the sigh carried both a sacred and an eerie feeling, as if a fusion of a celestial being and a demon had been created.

"who is it?"

Jiang Yun was terrified. He had never encountered anything like this since he entered the Dao Ancestor realm. Therefore, his figure immediately disappeared from the spot and hid in the infinite chaotic void.

Even so, he was still in shock, because everything that had happened was too unbelievable for him to imagine.

Is it haunted?

No, this sounds like a ghost story, but he is a Dao Ancestor, with earth-shattering cultivation, an invincible existence among Dao Ancestors. How could he be haunted?
What audacious ghost would dare to provoke this Dao Ancestor? To put it figuratively, it's like an old corpse in a mountain village encountering Sun Wukong—how could it possibly dare to cause trouble?

In particular, he followed the three Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit all the way here, and the three Dao Ancestors never discovered his figure from beginning to end, which is enough to show how successful his concealment was.

But now, this sudden sigh sent shivers down his spine, making him almost suspect that he had been discovered.

"Is it an illusion?"

Jiang Yun hid in the chaotic void. He stood there for a long time but did not see any other changes. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, wondering if he had just hallucinated.

It makes sense. The Dao Ancestors were incredibly powerful and possessed extremely keen divine senses. The three Dao Ancestors were able to penetrate the void and chaos and find this great world simply by relying on the information left behind in the past.

How could someone of such a level be unknowingly infiltrated into their vicinity?

Even Jiang Yun, who was confident that he could hide behind the three Dao Ancestors and follow them from a distance without being discovered, could never appear silently beside them and leave no trace.

The Dao Ancestors are the founders and representative figures of an evolutionary path. They are in harmony with the Dao of Heaven. Even if they do nothing, the surrounding void and chaos will automatically merge with them.

This is what is known as the Dao Ancestor. In other words, they are able to explore everything around them, and the space-time in which they exist will take them as the center of everything.

It was all because the Dao Ancestor was too powerful, causing all things in the universe, stars, and the will of the great realms to automatically merge with him. That's why Jiang Yun found such a thing unbelievable.

The most likely explanation is hallucination, but conversely, would the Dao Ancestor experience hallucinations?
Isn't that even more incredible?
"Could it be that there is something strange about this place?"

Or perhaps it was because the battle between the Dao Ancestors just now affected the stability of spacetime here, allowing me to hear sighs from before an era…”

After much thought, Jiang Yun could only come to this conclusion.

Regardless, he was now on high alert, because he clearly realized that this place was very unusual and strange.

It seems that everything is related to that so-called opportunity of becoming an Immortal Emperor. After all, it is the place where the Immortal Emperor once fell, so it is not surprising that something like this could happen.

Only then did he manage to calm his mind and stop thinking about it. Gazing at the distant ancestral land, he pondered for a moment and then made up his mind again.

We can't scare ourselves; we have to go and see what's going on, since it involves the so-called Immortal Emperor's opportunity.

With that thought, his figure vanished into the void. He directly tore open the boundary wall and silently slipped into this great world of the ancestral land.

This time, he didn't hear that strange sigh; everything was normal, and nothing unusual happened.

He infiltrated this great world very smoothly. As soon as he entered, he sensed that the spiritual energy in this great world was extremely rich. Among the many great worlds he had visited, only the heavens could probably compare.

As expected of a place where a Celestial Emperor was born in the past, only such rich spiritual energy could give birth to such a powerful figure.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then began to focus his mind to search for the foundations of those Dao Ancestors.

In fact, there was no need to exert any mental effort to search. The traces left behind by the Dao Ancestors fighting desperately could not be concealed at all.

He followed the shattered cosmic river directly down. Then, he arrived at the very center of this great world, in the universe where spiritual energy was most abundant.

With a single, gentle strike, the Dao Ancestor could destroy countless universes.

When he entered this great world, he sensed that although the spiritual energy was abundant, many great universes had been completely shattered and their life force cut off after the battle between the Dao Ancestors.

The vast universe before him was miraculously unaffected.

At this moment, he could vaguely see the figures of several Dao Ancestors within this vast universe.

He also took a step forward and entered this vast universe, where he could now clearly see the scene.

At this moment, the Dao Ancestor of the Ancestral Land of the Outer World is backed by a giant mountain range, and on this giant mountain range is an unparalleled array. At this moment, the Dao Ancestor of the Ancestral Land of the Outer World is using this unparalleled array to activate the Dao Fruit of his life's cultivation.

The three Dao Ancestors stood opposite the Dao Ancestor of the Ancestral Land of the Outer World. At this moment, they seemed to realize the importance of this great battle, and each of them manifested their true forms.

The Demon Ancestor's demonic flames surged to the heavens, making him appear like an invincible demon god. His expression was cold, and an infinitely eerie aura flowed around him.

Within this once sacred and ancient universe, much of the vital energy of the heavens and earth has been corrupted by the existence of this Demon Ancestor, and there is no possibility of recovery.

The Black River Ancestor further refined numerous star rivers, transforming them into black rivers that surrounded him, and he himself concealed himself within these black rivers.

The most mysterious and silent of the three Dao Ancestors, the Blood Blade Dao Ancestor, did not act like the other two Dao Ancestors. He simply held his blood blade and coldly looked ahead.

But at this moment, the blood-red blade seemed to have sensed some kind of stimulation, and it had completely revived itself, with a vast universe faintly evolving on it.

An aura of boundless slaughter permeated the air, with countless Immortal King souls roaring within, and even remnants of Dao Ancestor souls among them.

The remnant soul of the Dao Ancestor roared, trying to break free from the control of the Blood Blade, but it was all in vain. The Blood Blade naturally evolved with the laws of slaughter, grinding away at the remnant soul of the Dao Ancestor again and again.

"Do you think you can defeat us with just this one formation?"

The Demon Ancestor sneered.

"This formation is a bit strange. Hmm, upon closer inspection, it seems to be quite remarkable."

Faced with this formation, I actually felt a vague sense of dread, as if it could harm me…

The Black River Dao Ancestor was the most cautious. Although he manifested his true form, his soul was surrounded by an endless black river, clearly indicating that he had sensed something.

"Yes, it's the formation left behind by that Immortal Emperor back then..."

A cold glint flashed in Blood Blade Dao Ancestor's eyes as he realized the origin of the formation.

If it were merely a formation at the Dao Ancestor level, how could it have caused the three Dao Ancestors such apprehension?

The three Dao Ancestors pursued them all the way here, destroying countless cosmic rivers and galaxies along the way, extinguishing all life wherever they went. They even broke the immortal sword of the World Ancestor and Earth Dao Ancestor, which shows how powerful and ruthless they were.

But at this moment, faced with this formation, they hesitated for a moment.

"Now that you've recognized this formation, why don't you retreat?! Back then, even your clan's so-called Immortal Emperors perished within this formation, let alone you."

Although the Dao Ancestor of the Ancestral Land of the World spoke in this way, his condition was actually not good. He was coughing up large amounts of blood, and gray demonic energy, black blood, and red sword energy were constantly emanating from his body.

It was clear that he had suffered serious injuries under the combined pursuit of the three Dao Ancestors.

If it were just the laws of the three Dao Ancestors themselves, that would be fine, but there is also a strange aura in them.

It can be said that if it weren't for the Immortal Emperor Formation suppressing the strange aura within his body, this Dao Ancestor from the Outer Ancestral Land would probably be in serious trouble and facing a life-or-death crisis even without the intervention of the three Dao Ancestors.

"It is indeed an amazing magic array, but how could that Immortal Emperor have perished because of it? At most, this magic array can only weaken him."

The Demon Ancestor spoke coldly.

"The strength of the magic array is secondary; the most crucial factor is the level of the being who presides over it. If an Immortal Emperor's magic array is presided over by an Immortal Emperor, it can naturally deal with an Immortal Emperor."

"But you are merely a Dao Ancestor, and you have suffered heavy injuries at our hands. Do you think you can force us to retreat with such a simple formation?"

The Black River Ancestor's voice was icy, but despite speaking in such a manner, he remained extremely cautious.

"If your formation could really deal with the three of us, you probably wouldn't have explained it at all. You could have just waited for the three of us to enter the formation and then started the massacre. Why bother with all this?"

However, the Blood Blade Dao Ancestor at the very back was the calmest; he had already analyzed the situation before him:
"You're saying this because, although you obtained this formation, you're completely unable to unleash its power."

More likely, given your severe injuries, you wouldn't even be able to maintain the basic operation of this formation for long. Therefore, you're simply bluffing.

"Moreover, this formation was once a Celestial Emperor's formation. Now, with the changing of eras and the erosion of time, it is nothing more than a fragment of the original Celestial Emperor's formation!"

Do you really think we've never seen a real Immortal Emperor's formation?
Such formations obliterate the past and present, severing the future. Even a Dao Ancestor wouldn't need to enter the formation; merely approaching it would result in the complete annihilation of their soul.

It must be said that Blood Blade Dao Ancestor, worthy of being the one who killed Dao Ancestor in the past, is the most daring and meticulous. After some observation, he has basically figured out the truth about the Dao Ancestor of the Outer World and this formation.

The Dao Ancestor of the Outer Land was merely bluffing; he himself had already suffered severe injuries.

Besides, the Immortal Emperor Formation he mentioned wasn't a real Immortal Emperor Formation at all. The Immortal Emperor War of the last era reduced everything to nothingness, and even the Immortal Emperor Formation was shattered long ago under the impact of the Immortal Emperor War.

It is said to be a Celestial Emperor's Formation, but in reality it is at most a remnant of the Celestial Emperor's Formation from the past.

If this Immortal Emperor Formation is truly this heaven-defying, then it shouldn't have been the two Immortal Emperors who perished together, but rather the Immortal Emperor from the ancestral land of the secluded world who defeated the strange Immortal Emperor.

"Even if you can see through the truth, so what?"

Indeed, as you said, this formation cannot deal with the three of you Dao Ancestors at the same time.

But if you dare to enter this formation and force me into a life-or-death battle, then I am confident I can take one or two of you with me!

"It all depends on whether you dare to enter the fray and whether you're willing to do the work for someone else."

At this moment, the Dao Ancestor of the Ancestral Land of the World also became ruthless. Even though the other party had seen through his true intentions, he had no way back.

At that moment, he was disheveled and in very poor condition.

Clearly, after the three Dao Ancestors attacked simultaneously, he felt he had no other hope. Therefore, even though his vital energy was being rapidly drained, he would not leave this remnant Immortal Emperor Formation.

After all, beneath this remnant formation of the Immortal Emperor, there is something even more important, which is also his greatest reliance in fighting so hard to this day.

Upon hearing the Dao Ancestor of the Ancestral Land of the World speak in this way, whether it was the Demon Ancestor, the Black River Dao Ancestor, or the Blood Blade Ancestor, they all fell silent for a moment.

The Strange Race has always been a warrior race; even those in the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit claim to be a warrior race.

The fact that they were able to rise from the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit itself shows that they were absolutely willing to fight to the death.

However, those who dare to fight to the death are not necessarily reckless.

In particular, they also clearly realized that what the Dao Ancestor of the ancestral land of the secluded world said made sense.

Although it is a remnant formation of an Immortal Emperor, under the guidance of the Dao Ancestor, it may be able to unleash a fraction of its former brilliance.

In that case, their claim of taking away one or two Dao Ancestors would not be a lie.

There is indeed a possibility of their demise. Given their nature, although they came together, they were all here for the opportunity to become the Immortal Emperor. How could they be willing to do the work for others?

"I, the Blood Blade Dao Ancestor, am willing to swear an oath of blood. Now that things have come to this, there is no other way but to enter the formation. Once I enter the formation, I will fight a bloody battle and will absolutely not transfer the danger to you, fellow Daoist."

If I break this oath, my cultivation will never advance further in this life, I will surely die at the hands of others, and my soul will never be reincarnated.

Blood Blade Dao Ancestor became ruthless and made such a vow.

The so-called blood oath of the Dao Ancestor is even more terrifying than the so-called oath to heaven. After all, in front of the Dao Ancestor, the so-called heaven and earth are just a joke.

But the blood oath of the Dao Ancestors is different; once they make a blood oath, it will truly be fulfilled in their own Dao attainment.

"I wonder what you two fellow Daoists think?"

"I, the Demon Ancestor, am also willing to swear a blood oath to the Dao Ancestor!"

Black River Dao Ancestor hesitated slightly, but seeing the cold eyes of Demon Ancestor and Blood Blade Ancestor, he couldn't help but speak:
"I, the Dao Ancestor of the Black River, am also willing to swear a blood oath as the Dao Ancestor, and in this bloody battle, I will absolutely not retreat a single step!"

"Then what else is there to say? Let's fight together and break through the formation!"

Blood Blade Ancestor let out a cold laugh, and then without any further hesitation, charged directly into the great formation.

The other two hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.

Jiang Yun followed them here and saw that within the formation, chaotic killing intent surged forth, and even more so, the supreme law of destruction flowed.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that beneath the so-called remnant array of the Immortal Emperor, there was something that even made his soul tremble! (End of Chapter)
