Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

In the end, all that was left for people was an eternal emptiness. Even after countless millennia, no life could evolve here again.

Whether it is the Great World, the Dao, or the Void, all have completely disappeared here; only eternal emptiness remains.

It was all because of that fierce battle. In the end, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's single-handed sword strike, which caused Emperor Yi's protector, a true and mysterious Immortal Emperor who dared to cross realms from the ancestral land, to pay a heavy price.

It could be described as a true clash of immortal emperors' Dao techniques. Although the time was very short, the rampant imperial might still destroyed everything, especially the sword light.

After a long time, nothing changed here, and people left one after another.

The first to leave were the Dao Ancestors of the Four Directions Origin Ancient Land. After the might of that sword strike, they were completely terrified and retreated at top speed without any hesitation, looking as if they were afraid of being wiped out by that sword light.

After that, the Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Realm left one after another, along with their disciples.

Many people remained, hoping for a miracle, but as time passed, no trace remained, and none of those involved in that battle ever reappeared.

Neither Emperor Yi, the chosen one of the ancestral lands, nor his mount, the Heavenly Beast, nor Emperor Yi's protectors appeared here again. Even Jiang Yun's whereabouts were nowhere to be seen.

Despite his severe injuries, Hou Ming, who had been flicked away by a finger, descended to this place and waited here for thousands of years without seeing Jiang Yun's return. Finally, unable to hold on any longer, he returned to the ancient underworld.

She possessed the Reincarnation Token and had special means to confirm that Jiang Yun had not completely perished and still retained a glimmer of hope, but she could not find any trace of Jiang Yun at all.

It was as if Jiang Yun had simply vanished into thin air.

Ye Fan, Qingdi, Wushi, and others stayed even longer, for thousands of years, but they did not live to see the miracle happen.

Jiang Yun did not return. In the end, Qingdi and Wushi left and re-entered the heavens. After that battle, they had earned a great reputation and understood the path they would take next.

Afterwards, they received special attention from Heaven and were cultivated as seed-level candidates for the Dao Ancestor realm.

Ye Fan stood there for a long time, still unable to believe that his cousin Jiang Yun had died like this. He also had a premonition that his cousin Jiang Yun had not really died, but was recuperating somewhere.

But he couldn't find it either.

After staying here for thousands of years, he finally turned and left. Then, he began to venture into the sea of ​​sacrifice, traveling to one great world after another. On the one hand, it was for his own cultivation, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find the whereabouts of his cousin Jiang Yun.

Ultimately, after this battle, no one from the past remained here. Only some descendants, having heard of the ferocity of the battle, regarded this place as a historical site, coming here to reminisce and appreciate the lingering atmosphere unique to the aftermath of the imperial war.

In the end, time flowed by unnoticed, and ten thousand years passed, during which too many things happened.

However, all of this was no longer relevant to Jiang Yun.

Returning to the moment when the sword split into strands of light that cleaved through his body, he never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

Why did the Desolate Emperor's sword strike target him?

Clearly, a tacit understanding had been formed between himself and the Desolate Emperor. He would act as a spy for the Strange Ones, while the Desolate Emperor would confront the true power of the Strange Ones in the world above the heavens, giving the younger generation time to develop.

But why is this? Is it because the sword light has developed its own will and is unaware of its tacit understanding with the Desolate Emperor, which is why such a misunderstanding has occurred?

At first, that was what Jiang Yun thought, but as time went by, he painstakingly condensed his physical body and soul, and began to revive within the stone jar. After gaining his own will, he slowly realized what was happening.

Those wisps of sword light were not meant to kill him; on the contrary, they were actually helping him.

Because of the unimaginable intensity of his previous battle with Di Yi, and even in the end, when the two were in such a mysterious state, Jiang Yun was not confident of completely defeating Di Yi, and thus ended up fighting to the death with countless Dao wounds on his shoulders.

The consequences would be extremely serious. Even if one won, the scars on one's body would be irreparable, and one's cultivation level might even drop, just like the most ordinary Dao Ancestor.

Countless eras have passed, and he will never be able to return to his former glory. Not to mention, it will be even more difficult for him to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future.

The existence of the scars on the Great Dao has already sealed the fate of the matter.

Even with a Celestial Emperor protecting him and the blessing of his ancestral land, Emperor Yi, burdened with severe injuries to his Great Dao, would likely not be able to recover. Of course, the subsequent Cycle of Reincarnation further aggravated his injuries.

But Jiang Yun was still unsure whether Di Yi was really dead. He had a feeling that even if others could not survive in that situation, Di Yi might not be able to.

Because Di Yi is too strong and too special, the ancestral land might have heaven-defying methods that could help him revive.

However, due to the existence of the Great Dao scar, Di Yi's path afterward will also be difficult. This is based on the premise that he has the resources of the ancestral land and a Celestial Emperor to protect him. As for Jiang Yun?

Jiang Yun has no Immortal Emperor protecting him. Even if he has a certain understanding with the Desolate Emperor, the Desolate Emperor is unlikely to protect him, since the Desolate Emperor has more important things to do.

That's why those wisps of sword light directly entered Jiang Yun's body, causing his physical body to collapse and disintegrate.

During this process, the irreversible Dao wounds within Jiang Yun's body were suppressed by wisps of sword light, preventing them from worsening further.

If things don't get any worse, that would be a huge blessing for Jiang Yun, especially since he has finally been reborn in the stone jar after thousands of years.

The wisps of sword light still lingered within his body, and the wounds from the Great Dao remained, but a strange balance had formed between the two.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was indeed unable to use the unique Daoist techniques and supernatural powers belonging to the Dao Ancestor, but the strength of his physical body was slowly recovering. Finally, after a thousand years, he completely repaired his physical body, restoring it to the strength of the Dao Ancestor realm.

But this is already incredibly difficult. To go any further and truly restore one's former supreme cultivation level as a Dao Ancestor is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Because of the entanglement between the wisps of sword light and the scars of the Great Dao within his body, he was unable to unleash his Daoist supernatural powers. At present, his power of Daoist supernatural powers was at most at the level of a Celestial King. "The wisps of sword light should have other benefits. Perhaps, after a long period of time, I will be able to completely suppress these scars of the Great Dao and fully comprehend the imperial might within these wisps of sword light. That will be the time when I return to the pinnacle of the Dao Ancestor realm."

Jiang Yun muttered to himself that, according to his deduction, this process was indeed difficult, but it was also the only way for him to avoid being affected by the Great Dao scars and thus be unable to enter the Immortal Emperor realm for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he now fully understands that those wisps of sword light have a tremendous effect on him.

Moreover, he also realized that he was being shattered by wisps of sword light in front of Emperor Yi's protectors and the Immortal Emperor in the ancestral land of the E'tu Plateau. This also proved that he had absolutely no connection with the Desolate Emperor.

This is necessary; otherwise, the sword light cleaved even the eerie Immortal Emperor in two, so why didn't it harm you? This necessary sacrifice is precisely the best cover.

Of course, wisps of sword light were constantly entangled with him. Any being who had achieved a certain level of cultivation could sense the intertwining of sword light and Dao scars within his body. Under such circumstances, even if he were to revive and return to the world, no one would doubt his true identity.

It can only be said that these wisps of sword light played a truly significant role.

"Judging by the time, it's been almost ten thousand years. I've completely suppressed the scars on my Great Dao and gained a clear understanding of the wisps of sword light. There's no rush anymore..."

"It's time to go back to the ancient underworld. I just wonder what changes have occurred in the past ten thousand years, in the Sea Sacrifice, in the myriad worlds of the heavens, and in the ancient lands of origin in the four directions..."

"And how do they view that battle from the past..."

Jiang Yun was certain that some people would be happy to see her return, while others would probably treat it like they'd seen a ghost.

In the end, Jiang Yun awakened Long Qi, who had been in a deep sleep since the great battle, also affected by it.

In the battle against the Heavenly Beast, Long Qi was also seriously injured. Although most of the power of the sword light was applied to Jiang Yun, Long Qi was indeed affected. His primordial spirit was damaged and he has been sleeping at the bottom of the stone jar ever since.

Now, awakened by Jiang Yun, Long Qi realized that ten thousand years had passed outside when he woke up.

However, for it, these ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Its primordial spirit has been completely repaired, and the wounds that once affected it have also completely disappeared.

"I never thought you and I would survive..."

After learning the situation briefly, Long Qi was somewhat bewildered and sighed in this way.

In that cataclysmic war ten thousand years ago, it couldn't have imagined that it would survive in the end. It also couldn't have imagined that Jiang Yun could actually enter that profound and mysterious state and fight to defeat the incredibly powerful Emperor Yi, the chosen one of the ancestral land's destiny.

"But what exactly is your situation right now?"

Longqi was somewhat uncertain. It could clearly sense that Jiang Yun's physical body was terrifyingly strong, but Jiang Yun seemed to have lost the supernatural powers that a Dao Ancestor should possess.

Jiang Yun remained silent, merely glancing at it before striking its Qilin body with a palm. The next moment, the nine enormous ancestral dragon heads of the dragon Qilin roared in pain, attempting to resist, but Jiang Yun held them down firmly, leaving them no room to fight back.

In the end, Long Qilin surrendered and obediently lay down, allowing Jiang Yun to mount it again. Then, he directly activated the divine power of a Dao Ancestor-level Ancestral Beast, shifting stars and moving from the infinite void towards the direction of the Ancient Underworld.

On the way, Jiang Yun did not hide anything, allowing Long Qi to notice the terrifying Dao scars in Jiang Yun's body, as well as the wisps of sword light. This made Long Qi gasp, thinking that Jiang Yun was too crazy.

Those two powers that could drive even a Dao Ancestor to despair were actually absorbed into Jiang Yun's body at the same time, and instead used as a whetstone for his Daoist techniques and supernatural abilities.
At this moment, Long Qi was deeply impressed and finally understood why Jiang Yun was so powerful. He was so crazy and so talented, no wonder he had such terrifying strength.

Thus, Long Qi began to understand that someone like Jiang Yun would eventually return to that profound and mysterious realm of the past, and ultimately look down upon all the Dao Ancestors.

Therefore, it dared not have any other thoughts and obediently carried Jiang Yun toward the ancient underworld.

As a Dao Ancestor-level Ancestral Beast, it is indeed a disgrace to be a mount for a Dao Ancestor, but if it is a "Celestial Emperor", then it is naturally a different story.

At this moment, although Jiang Yun's physical body had reached the level of his former strength and his magical powers were not yet manifest, Long Qi already regarded him as his true master.

Along the way, Jiang Yun also learned a lot of information through the Reincarnation Token.

First, the battle for survival between Immortal Kings continues, and some beings, enraged and dominating their generation, have even advanced to the Dao Ancestor realm in an incredible battle.

However, he was not a follower of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, such as the Bull Demon King or Zhu Jiuyin. On the contrary, that being ascended to the Dao Ancestor realm by stepping on the corpse of Emperor Guang Immortal King of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation. Even at the last moment, when the Bull Demon King made a move, he was forcibly killed by him.

In addition, perhaps due to this incident, the life-and-death battle between the Immortal Kings of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation and the myriad worlds of the heavens became even more brutal, completely unaffected by Jiang Yun's absence. As a result, many Immortal Kings of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation perished, and some even disappeared without a trace.

In addition, some cycles of reincarnation also changed. The entire group of Eight Paths of Reincarnation disappeared, but the ones who made the move were not the powerful beings from all the worlds above, but other Dao Ancestors from the ancient lands of origin in all directions. In particular, Jiang Yun vaguely sensed the presence of a certain old acquaintance among them.

Blood River Ancestor.

This Dao Ancestor, who was in charge of the cycle of reincarnation after Hou Ming and before Jiang Yun, repeatedly provoked Hou Ming, but was eventually suppressed by Hou Ming and Jiang Yun at Hou Ming's Daoist temple.

However, for some unknown reason, this Blood River Dao Ancestor seems to have escaped his predicament, and seems to be certain that Jiang Yun cannot return, so he has started to relapse into his old habits.

Was it because of Hou Ming's serious injury that Blood River Dao Ancestor had the opportunity to escape? Is it possible that Blood River alone would be so audacious?

Jiang Yun couldn't help but think this, and then a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

It seems some people haven't been behaving themselves while I was away. Well then...

Let's start with this Blood River Dao Ancestor, making an example of him! (End of Chapter)
