Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

The source of the ancient underworld, within the Daoist temple of the Houming.

The Blood River Dao Ancestor was trapped here, his body bound by chains of the Great Dao, and surrounded by portions of Hellfire that Hou Ming had specially separated from his body, which would fly over from time to time to burn the Blood River Dao Ancestor.

If the pain was already unbearable for him, then the sight of Long Qi lying obediently beside him, cultivating, was even more humiliating.

Everyone knows that this dragon-qi is Dao Yuan's mount.

Now, the two of them have deliberately trapped themselves next to Dao Yuan's mount, the humiliation of which is self-evident.

He knew, of course, that Hou Ming would not kill him, because that was something strictly forbidden in the ancestral land.

But this humiliation was more terrifying than killing him.

This dragon-qi, being a Dao Ancestor-level ancestral beast, was surprisingly docile, seemingly willing to be Dao Yuan's mount, completely disregarding its status as a Dao Ancestor.

This left Xuehe utterly perplexed. Little did he know that Long Qi had truly suffered greatly at Jiang Yun's hands, witnessing Jiang Yun's extraordinary combat power, which was why he acted this way.

Blood River had no idea about these things, but he could probably guess that it was entirely because of the extraordinary strength of the Dao Source that enabled him to achieve this.

He truly couldn't understand why Dao Yuan possessed such heaven-defying combat power.

They're both Dao Ancestors, so why is there such a huge difference?

Moreover, Dao Yuan's cultivation period is so short that it seems he shouldn't possess such terrifying combat power.

Even if some old monster were to be reborn, it shouldn't be like this.

It can be said that Blood River Dao Ancestor is now filled with regret. He never imagined that he would end up in such a situation.

But at this moment, he had not completely lost hope, and he placed all his hopes on that young man named Di Yi.

Once that young master arrives and decisively defeats Dao Yuan, everything will naturally be overturned.

He will return all the suffering he has endured at this time.

This is what keeps Xuehe going. As for what he thinks, Jiang Yun doesn't care at all.

At this moment, he and Hou Ming stood facing each other.

Hou Ming ignored the Blood River Dao Ancestor who was being tortured at the edge of the dojo, and looked at Jiang Yun with a slight worry.

"That young man has at least mastered the Great Dao of Thunder, and has cultivated it to an extremely profound level."

Among all the Dao Ancestors, perhaps none can compare to him.

Hou Ming and Jiang Yun were analyzing the Thunder Dao extracted from the ancestral land's decree. The more they analyzed it, the more shocking it became to Hou Ming.

As one of the most fundamental forces in the world, thunder has naturally been studied by many Dao Ancestors. In fact, many Dao Ancestors even took thunder as their name and cultivated to an extremely high level in the way of thunder before they were able to advance to the level of Dao Ancestor.

The power of thunder is inherently associated with killing and is one of the most powerful forces in the world. It can be said that any Dao Ancestor who has achieved something in the way of thunder is no ordinary person.

Many eons ago, Houming had fought against a Dao Ancestor of all ages who cultivated the Dao of Thunder.

The final result was a draw, and the fact that her opponent's Thunder Path was unaffected by Hellfire left a deep impression on her.

However, compared to the Thunder Dao Ancestor of the past who cultivated the Thunder Dao, the Thunder Dao mastered by this young man is even more powerful.

This was the result of her analysis of the Thunder Dao contained within the ancestral land's decree, and she was certain that it was only a part of that young master's Thunder Dao.

In other words, that young man's mastery of the Thunder Dao was so great that even the former Thunder Dao Ancestor would have to admit defeat and feel inferior.

"What young master? He's called Emperor Yi, but he's not actually the number one in the world."

Moreover, daring to call oneself an emperor before even reaching the Immortal Emperor realm is not necessarily a good thing.

Jiang Yun shook his head, unconcerned.

He had absolute confidence in himself; at the Dao Ancestor level, no one could be stronger than him.

Unless that person is an Immortal Emperor disguised as a Dao Ancestor.

But was that Celestial Emperor just bored and had nothing better to do?

It should be noted that Jiang Yun belongs to the ancient underworld and is also part of the mysterious lineage.

He didn't reveal anything about his undercover work, so why would the Celestial Emperor specifically target him?

What ancestral land specifically cultivated this child of destiny to deal with the Desolate Heaven Emperor, bearing the expectations of the ancestral land's Immortal Emperor?

Perhaps when facing the Desolate Emperor, he would be cleaved into pieces by the Desolate Emperor with a single sword strike.

Jiang Yun's goal is not just to become an Immortal Emperor; he wants to become a Sacrificial Daoist, or even someone above the Sacrificial Daoist level.

Only in this way can we completely change everything, break through the Ecuadorian Plateau, end the mysterious lineage, and change history.

He can do what the three emperors Huang, Ye, and Chu can do.

No matter how amazing Di Yi is, don't forget that Jiang Yun still has the stone jar, the broken Emperor Sword, and of course, the mysterious Reincarnation Dao Flame.

Jiang Yun refused to believe that the young man could defeat him with these methods.

Of course, Hou Ming knew none of this.

Then Ming spoke like that because he cared about him.

Seeing the worry on Hou Ming's aloof and stunning face, Jiang Yun chuckled:

"Sister, don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing. Everything is going according to plan, and there won't be any unexpected changes."

Even if that Emperor Yi came, he couldn't possibly defeat me.

Hou Ming and Jiang Yun had cultivated together for many years, so he naturally knew that Jiang Yun's strength was unfathomable and that he stood at the forefront among all the Dao Ancestors.

It was just an instinctive concern at that moment. After thinking for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, she directly used a secret technique to create a small chaotic world, and then pulled Jiang Yun into that small chaotic world before daring to speak:
"If there ever comes a day when the heavens and earth collapse, Brother Yun, I will be with you. Even if it means leaving the underworld, I will go with you."

These words coming from Hou Ming's mouth clearly showed that she had made up her mind.

Hearing this, Jiang Yun was deeply moved. Then, she nodded gently.

This is obviously a matter of great importance, which is why such a chaotic little world was created to isolate everything.

Jiang Yun, sensing this sentiment, naturally made up her mind.

Of course, what the two of them didn't know was that the news that a young adult from the ancestral land, a being named Di Yi, was about to descend to the mortal realm to fight against the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld had already spread throughout the four ancient origin lands.

Even during the sea sacrifice, many Dao Ancestors from various worlds heard the news, not to mention those in the heavens. Immediately, discussions arose, and all the Dao Ancestors were paying attention to this matter. It could be said that the name Dao Yuan once again shook everyone.

Dao Yuan's previous attack from the Boundary Sea, which severely injured the Evil Emperor and made him a powerful figure in the Ancient Underworld, had already made him famous.

His subsequent creation of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, reorganization of the cycle of reincarnation, and attacks on all worlds and the heavens made his name resound even among the Dao Ancestors.

Afterwards, he launched a life-or-death battle among the Immortal Kings, aiming to push them to the Dao Ancestor realm, and even drew countless Dao Ancestors into his plan, whether willingly or unwillingly.

The Dao Ancestors are high above and, according to the rules, will not participate in the battle of Immortal Kings. However, most of their disciples, followers, and even descendants are at the Immortal King level. How could they not participate in the life-or-death battle of Immortal Kings?

Needless to say, they knew perfectly well that the experts from the Eight Paths of Reincarnation had stolen the show in this great battle.

Dao Yuan, the master of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, has gained recognition from all the Dao Ancestors of the heavens.

Such a peerless and powerful figure actually provoked a young master from the ancestral land of the E'tu Plateau, and even prompted him to descend to the mortal realm to deal with Dao Yuan.

This is truly an unimaginable myth. All the Dao Ancestors knew that this was bound to be an earth-shattering and unimaginable great battle.

Moreover, the internal conflicts within the strange clan are even more interesting.

Even the Celestial Emperor couldn't help but start paying attention to this matter, even from the highest heavens.

After all, both Dao Yuan and Di Yi, who claimed to be born with the fortune of the ancestral land specifically to deal with the Desolate Emperor, were worthy of the attention of beings at the Immortal Emperor level.

Meanwhile, in the Upper Realm, Luo Tianxian and several other remnant Immortal Emperors were secretly plotting and taking the opportunity to gather the few Dao Ancestors left behind by the Upper Realm.

Clearly, they sensed something and began making preparations in advance.

Of course, all the Dao Ancestors of all ages heard this news, and each person reacted differently.

Some felt heavy-hearted, believing that the strange power was too strong, and that so many beings with the potential to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm were emerging, filling them with worry about the future.

Others, however, were secretly laughing, believing that the great battle between Dao Yuan and Di Yi was merely an internal conflict within the strange lineage. Regardless of the outcome, someone's Dao heart would be shattered, making it impossible for them to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Immortal Emperor, also known as the powerhouse at the end of the road, has been advancing triumphantly since birth, defeating all opponents in the myriad realms and fighting his way to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Any defeat, regardless of the reason, could shatter their Dao heart, making it impossible for them to cultivate with a perfect state of mind again.

In that case, it would be impossible to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm.

This is an ancient, ironclad rule that no one has ever broken.

As for the Dao Ancestors of other ancient origins, their reactions to this matter were mostly different.

However, most of the Dao Ancestors still hoped to take this opportunity to join the young master's ranks and become his most loyal subordinates.

As for the outcome of the battle with Daoyuan, they had no doubt that the young master would win decisively.

Deep down, they have a completely blind worship of their ancestral land.

It can be said that the power of their ancestral land is imprinted deep in their souls, making their primordial spirits instinctively remember it.

How could a young master nurtured by such an ancestral land possibly be defeated by Dao Yuan?

Only that person is a true prodigy. What does it matter if such a young person, destined to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm, becomes his subordinate?

That is also the highest glory.

It can only be said that everyone has their own aspirations, different mindsets determine different choices, and different choices ultimately create different paths of spiritual cultivation.

Regardless, this news has become a hot topic.

The life-or-death battle between immortal kings is nothing compared to this.

After all, wouldn't a clash between the most powerful Dao Ancestors be far more captivating than a life-or-death battle between Immortal Kings?

The heavens are in flux, and a storm is brewing.

Meanwhile, those veteran, top-tier Dao Ancestors were secretly frowning and pondering. They believed their combat strength had reached the pinnacle of the Dao Ancestor realm, and they couldn't believe that two such young beings could surpass them by so much.

However, figures like Kong Zun and the Ancestor of Hell have not shown up or spoken, as if they were completely absorbed in their own affairs and unable to extricate themselves.

Throughout the world, the terrifying oppressive atmosphere has already been felt, all because of the clash between two peerless Dao Ancestors.

During the sea sacrifice, a great world was also destroyed as a result, simply because of the atmosphere of this great war.

Throughout the long river of time, many illusory, destructive creatures have evolved, seemingly sensing the terror that this great war would bring and beginning to foreshadow something.

It can be said that the long river of time is most sensitive, and has already begun to evolve this unprecedented clash between cultivation prodigies.

Those Dao Ancestors who could sense the changes in the river of time were even more convinced that the upcoming great battle would surpass the limits of the Dao Ancestor realm.

And so, in such a terrifying atmosphere, the Ecuadorian Plateau eventually revealed its presence over the course of time.

Then, the river of time suddenly became unstable, and all sorts of scenes overlapped, with the past, present, and future colliding.

Then, while many Dao Ancestors were filled with doubt and uncertainty, on the long river of time, at the source of all worlds, a being slowly descended from there, emitting a blazing light and carrying an infinitely strange aura, into all worlds.

The sacred and the eerie, destruction and rebirth—these completely conflicting auras were perfectly fused within him.

He was so radiant and intense, yet also so demonic.

Within him, the secrets of creation and the ruins of countless worlds evolve simultaneously. He simply stands there, and his gaze can fix on a stretch of time, or even make the river of time flow backward, creating chaos in the past, present, and future.

Everything about him demonstrated his extraordinary status and terrifying combat power.

Indeed, just as he said, he never advanced to the Immortal Emperor realm, but he had the bearing of an Immortal Emperor.

It must be said that this young man who calls himself "Emperor" does indeed have the right to be proud. He is just like a true immortal emperor, crossing the river of time and about to descend into all worlds.

"coming!"

"The demeanor of an invincible being, such methods truly surpass our imagination!"

"The Dao Ancestor could never do such a thing. Although we can travel through the long river of time, how can we make the river of time flow backward and cause chaos in the past, present, and future?"

"Even a true Immortal Emperor descending to earth wouldn't be more impressive than this... Compared to this young lord, he is like the sun and the heavens, while I am but a firefly."

"Therefore, I am willing to serve as the young master's subordinate, to fight alongside him in all the heavens and myriad worlds, to kill until we are driven mad, to kill until all worlds are reduced to ruins!"

In all four ancient origin lands, the Dao Ancestor left to go to the sacrificial sea to welcome and pay homage to the young master Di Yi from the ancestral land.

Their faith in their ancestral land, coupled with the power displayed by the young Emperor Yi, drove them into a state of complete madness. (End of Chapter)
