Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

Just as Jiang Yun was hesitating about whether to take action, another unexpected event occurred.

The large black hand covered in hair of various colors reached out again from the ancient passage, intending to forcibly detain Ye Fan, Qingdi, Wushi, and Ruthless Man!

Under the immense power, the aura of the Immortal Emperor almost suppressed all Dao techniques and supernatural abilities. At this moment, the waters of the Soul River were about to freeze, and the numerous Dao Ancestor phantoms that had evolved on it shattered instantly. All of this was because the power of this giant hand was too strong.

Although it wasn't a true Immortal Emperor descending, it made no difference to Ye Fan, Qing Di, Wu Shi, and Ruthless Man, because that power had completely surpassed their imagination.

Above ordinary Dao Ancestors are Dao Ancestor Giants, who can also be called Supreme Dao Ancestors. Of course, there are also differences in strength among Dao Ancestor Giants. Beings like Kong Zun and Mingyu Dao Ancestor can be considered powerful even among Dao Ancestor Giants.

Above the Dao Ancestor giants are the Dao Ancestors who have forged their own path to Immortal Emperor. Such Dao Ancestors have unlimited potential and are expected to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future. Above that are the Dao Ancestors who have truly forged their path to Immortal Emperor and are able to enter that profound and mysterious realm at any time.

He is not a Celestial Emperor, but he has already begun to possess the power of a Celestial Emperor. With every move he makes, he can even influence spacetime.

Above that profound and mysterious realm lies the true Immortal Emperor, whose mere hand far surpasses that of the Dao Ancestor. Even the strongest Dao Ancestor cannot compare to it.

Within the ancient lands of origin in the sea of ​​sacrifice, there are no Immortal Emperors because Immortal Emperors are too powerful, capable of affecting the stability of spacetime. As beings at the end of the path, the means they can master are on a completely different level. They can easily cause a great catastrophe in the sea of ​​sacrifice, equivalent to a minor sacrifice.

That giant hand didn't even care about the spacetime passage opened up by Wushi, as if it never existed. And it certainly had the power to do so. Under its terrifying power, the spacetime passage couldn't maintain its stability and began to collapse on its own.

All the strange Dao Ancestors, from Kong Zun and Hun Tian to the many strange Dao Ancestors who came to help, knelt down and solemnly paid homage when the black hand appeared.

That was supreme power, the true power of an Immortal Emperor from the ancestral land. At this moment, no matter what this Immortal Emperor wanted to do, they dared not stop him. Even when Kong Zun was furious and wanted to grab Ye Fan and ask him questions, he dared not utter a word of obstruction.

Ye Fan, Qingdi, Wushi, and Ruthless Man immediately changed color, as they all knew what that giant hand was going to do with them.

They simply coveted their almost limitless potential, perhaps even the possibility of reaching the Immortal Emperor realm in the future. By forcibly imprisoning them, they were meant to capture them and take them to the ancestral land to cleanse their marrow and let them be devoured by the will of the ancestral land, transforming them into bizarre creatures!
This is a common tactic used by the ancestral land. After destroying the Great World, in addition to leaving behind a portion of promising immortal seedlings, they will also bring some true geniuses back to the ancestral land for transformation. After countless years, they will become an important force for the rebirth of the ancestral land, and will completely forget their past, only knowing to follow the will of the ancestral land to conquer the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At that time, beings who originally belonged to the same great world might very well turn against each other. Beings from the ancestral land have completely forgotten the past and are fighting with their true blood relatives. Throughout history, such tragedies have happened countless times, and each time, they only make the ancestral land stronger.

Only in this way can the ancestral land prosper and remain in a state of flourishing, thus ensuring its terrifying ability to suppress all the myriad realms.

"No!"

All four resisted; it was a situation they could not accept under any circumstances. They would rather die in battle than degenerate into bizarre creatures—that would be truly terrifying.

However, although the four of them had unlimited potential, they were not true Immortal Emperors after all, and had not even touched the path to becoming an Immortal Emperor. How could they possibly fight against that terrifying and strange hand?

During this process, they were locked onto by a strange, powerful hand. Even if they wanted to commit suicide, they couldn't, because that terrifying will suppressed all Taoist magic and supernatural powers, leaving them only able to watch helplessly as they were suppressed and taken away.

Even Jiang Yun felt a chill run down his spine. Faced with such terrifying power, he felt that he could not withstand it. Even if he entered that profound and mysterious realm, even with the help of the stone jar, he was definitely no match for that terrifying giant hand.

If he were to force his way in, he might be able to save a few people, but that would mean all his efforts would be in vain. And even if he could temporarily save everyone with one strike, what then?

Could that terrifying giant hand just disappear like that? At most, he could block one strike from that giant hand, but could he block a second one?

How is that possible?

But it was absolutely impossible for him to just stand by and watch them be kidnapped. At this moment, he felt a surge of hatred.

He had clearly warned Ye Fan, Qingdi, Wushi, and others through the God Emperor, telling them to make thorough preparations before attacking the Soul River. Why did these people not make sufficient backup plans before attacking?
Didn't they seek help from a Celestial Emperor level beforehand? At the very least, they could ask Heaven to unleash its true power, or at the very least, to use the talismans left behind by Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai to temporarily block a Celestial Emperor's attack.

It's impossible that the two Immortal Emperors, Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai, didn't leave such a preparation for Heaven. Although those Immortal Emperor Talismans are expensive, at this point, how could Ye Fan and the others not be able to obtain them?
But that's just how it is. No matter what Jiang Yun thought, the situation developed in a way he never expected. At this moment, although he was helpless, he could only prepare to take action forcefully.

He held the broken imperial sword in his hand, then placed the stone jar on his head and sent a divine thought to the God Emperor. He was about to make his move when a powerful aura that he recognized suddenly appeared.

A willow branch extended directly from the spacetime passage opened up by the Great Emperor Wushi, forcefully holding back the passage that was about to be destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, the willow branches glowed, forcibly forcing back the group of strange Dao Ancestors, and then directly protected Ye Fan, Qingdi, Wushi, Ruthless Man and others as they left!

Liu Shen made her move. Although she was still in an unknown space-time and surrounded by several strange immortal emperors, she still sensed the changes happening here and took action across endless space-time to try to rescue these people.

However, the large black hand was still there. How could it let the Willow God leave so easily? Immediately, the large black hand stepped forward and was about to grab the willow branch. "Willow God, I have long heard of you. You are extraordinary. In the past, you even defeated my clan's Immortal Emperor. Now, let me see what kind of wonders you possess."

The black hand emanated such a will, carrying an icy chill. Wherever that hand passed, almost no living being could survive. Even the Dao Ancestor of the Soul River had his soul involuntarily split and absorbed by the black hand when it passed by.

This was a truly ruthless and terrifying being, a true superior. Even when facing the strange Dao Ancestor who belonged to the same race, it showed no mercy. The black hand absorbed everything, not even sparing the waters of the Soul River, and headed towards the willow branch.

At the critical moment, the willow branch glowed, and the power of the Immortal Emperor erupted. Although it was just a branch, a towering, emerald-green willow phantom appeared behind it. Then, profound Immortal Emperor laws evolved on that branch. Immediately afterwards, specks of green energy burst forth, directly protecting the four people.

In an instant, the four people were transferred away by the branches of the Willow God. During this process, the four people were not harmed at all. The Willow God could be said to have withstood the attack of the black hand and forcibly accomplished this, which made the black hand feel a sense of surprise.

“Indeed extraordinary. It seems that your victory over my clan’s Immortal Emperor in the past was not a coincidence.”

"However, since you took these people with you today, you can leave this branch behind."

Numerous sacrificial inscriptions appeared on the black hand, all concerning the mysteries of the Great Dao of Time and Space. Immediately afterwards, these numerous runes appeared in the void, aiming to freeze everything, including that single branch, in a very short time.

That branch was incredibly powerful, undoubtedly originating from the Willow God's true form, essentially a smaller version of the Willow God. Obtaining this branch would allow one to study the Willow God's mysteries and gain an invincible position in future battles.

This was a brilliant plan, but at that very moment, numerous ancient sacrificial texts suddenly appeared on the branches of that willow tree. These were sacred sacrificial texts, completely different from the ancestral sacrificial texts held by the black hand, and they came from an even more ancient immortal era.

It was with the aid of this sacrificial text that this willow branch successfully broke through the opponent's spacetime blockade and found the correct coordinates of the ancient immortal era. In that case, it was as if it had found its past self and broken free from the shackles of spacetime. Then, this willow branch directly threw itself into the river of time and space and disappeared.

A rare, chilling rage emanated from the massive black hand. Then, he forcefully opened the River of Time and Space and began to follow the trail.

In the end, the two powerful Immortal Emperors left, and Kong Zun, Hun Tian and the others who had survived by chance were able to stand up. They watched with lingering fear as the two powerful figures disappeared into the end of the river of time and space, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

What followed was endless rage, especially from Kong Zun. Looking at the Soul River riddled with holes, his wings trembled involuntarily, and then the flames that burned the heavens expanded.

The entire Soul River was severely damaged during the great battle. What angered Kong Zun even more was that someone took advantage of the battle to forcibly detain half of the Soul River's source water and leave.

This was an unbearable burden. In his rage, he wanted to find all the suspects. At this moment, he was convinced that this matter was related to Ye Fan and the others, and he wished he could go directly to the Sacrifice Sea to hunt down Ye Fan and the others. However, reason prevented him from being so impulsive.

In the end, he could only angrily issue an order to track down clues about the Soul River at all costs, and to personally deal with anyone who suspected that they were related to the Soul River.

However, this anger had nothing to do with Jiang Yun anymore. After ensuring that Ye Fan and the others had successfully escaped under Liu Shen's protection, he left.

Before leaving, he released the God Emperor and gave him a series of earnest instructions, telling him many things to pay attention to. He also told him that no matter what, he must find a way to continue his undercover work and that his own safety should be the top priority before he left.

After that, he returned to the ancient underworld. This time, he didn't look for anyone and went straight back to his own dojo.

After making sufficient preparations, he took out the stone jar and then directly took out half of the source water of the Soul River!
This is the true source of the Soul River. Every drop is formed from the soul and primordial spirit of a powerful being from the past. You can even see the glory of their past Dao achievements in it. If you comprehend it carefully, just a drop of this Soul River water can give a Celestial King some confidence to advance to the Dao Ancestor realm.

It is conceivable how precious and rare the Soul River Water is. If it were to spread to the outside world, it would probably cause countless Immortal Kings to fight over it. Even for beings at the Dao Ancestor level, the Soul River Water is a rare treasure, because it can nourish injuries to the soul and primordial spirit!
"With all this water from the River of Souls, the wounds on my primordial spirit can be completely healed..."

Jiang Yun muttered to himself, although his primordial spirit had been almost completely repaired, there were still a few small cracks in it, which would be huge weaknesses in a life-or-death battle.

He carefully guided the waters of the Soul River, then improved upon the method of the Divine Emperor with his own understanding. After that, he quietly sat cross-legged in his own Daoist temple and began to cultivate.

Unbeknownst to him, while he was cultivating, another great change was taking place in the heavens.

With the resurrection of the mysterious Immortal Emperor who had been killed in the past, and the arrival of many Dao Ancestors from the depths of the ancestral land to provide support, the ancestral land was no longer struggling so much when facing the Desolate Heaven Emperor. On the contrary, as time went by, it began to gain the upper hand.

This is a natural principle. Although the ancient Heavenly Court received support from all the realms above, that support was ultimately unstable. There were also people in the ancestral lands constantly sniping at various passages. Even if a Dao Ancestor was able to break through the encirclement and support the ancient Heavenly Court of the Desolate Emperor in its battle, the number of people was still too small.

On the ancestral land, the number of Dao Ancestors far exceeded the combined number of the ancient Heavenly Court and all the worlds above, not to mention that they were fighting right at the gates of the ancestral land.

Compared to the shortcomings of the Dao Ancestor level in combat power, the gap is even greater for the Immortal Emperor level! (End of Chapter)
