Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

On the side of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, there was only one full-blooded Immortal Emperor, Liu Shen. Even though her combat power was heaven-defying, she could only hold off three of the other side's strange Immortal Emperors at most. But now, a full five strange Immortal Emperors were directly facing her.

Of course, although the two Immortal Emperors, Meng Hai and Luo Tianxian, are no longer in their former state, they can still help her share the pressure of an Immortal Emperor. Even so, it cannot change the huge gap between the two camps at the Immortal Emperor level.

Not to mention, at the Sacrifice Dao realm, with the birth of the second Ancestor, the Desolate Heaven Emperor is facing unprecedented and terrifying pressure. Having just entered the Sacrifice Dao realm, he is about to face the siege of two veteran Ancestors at the Sacrifice Dao realm.

It wasn't that the Desolate Emperor wasn't amazing enough; it was simply that his opponent was far too powerful, so powerful that it almost drove people to despair.

If given time, he might continue to grow, after all, he is a being with almost limitless potential, and he could become even stronger in the future. Perhaps he could really change everything on his own. But unfortunately, the ancestral ancestor could no longer give him this opportunity.

After the Battle of the Soul River ended, time flew by, and another two hundred thousand years passed. During these two hundred thousand years, many things happened. For example, in the various worlds of the heavens, after years of accumulation, more people broke through to the Dao Ancestor realm. Some of the young people who had participated in the Battle of the Soul River even made further progress and reached the Dao Ancestor giant realm.

Only life-or-death battles are the best way to hone geniuses. The continuous battles between Dao Ancestors are the best selection method. The strong become stronger, while the weak are directly eliminated, turning into a pile of corpses and becoming stepping stones for others to advance to higher realms.

For Jiang Yun, however, these two hundred thousand years held a different meaning than for others.

He finally resolved the problem above his primordial spirit. Even those Great Dao scars could no longer bind him. Instead, they became weapons for him to hone his invincible physical body. He even comprehended the sacrificial laws of the Desolate Heaven Emperor from those wisps of sword light, and on this basis, he formed his own unique insights.

With all these conditions combined, and after the fusion of his bloodline, he was once again elevated to a perfect state, initially reaching a state above perfection. With the fusion of millions of bloodlines, Daos, scriptures, methods, and techniques, his body rumbled and rang. His whole being was solemn and sacred, and he had clearly reached the end of the path of the Dao Ancestor.

Unlike others, he first reached a profound and mysterious realm in the shortest time under various conditions and by chance. After that, he encountered setbacks and wasted millions of years before finally returning to this realm.

Right now, his path to becoming an Immortal Emperor is crystal clear. That mysterious and profound realm is like a divine forbidden zone, which he can enter at any time. Now, he has everything ready to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, only lacking the final push.

All that's missing is the perfect opportunity.

But from beginning to end, he hid himself very well, never letting anyone discover his true state. Most people thought that his primordial spirit and physical body had serious problems and that he would never have the chance to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm in this lifetime. Only a very few people knew that his body was recovering, like a spring seedling, and was gestating new life.

Only he himself knew that the spring seedling had sprouted and grown into a towering tree. One day, when the time was right, this towering tree would grow into the World Tree and become the Jianmu!

In contrast, the ancient underworld has been relatively quiet over the past two hundred thousand years, compared to the constantly warring Soul River. Although Dao Ancestors still emerge and fight bloody battles with Dao Ancestors from all over the world, overall it has been in a relatively peaceful state.

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor has also recovered from his severe injuries and is now a true Dao Ancestor giant. However, his control over the Ancient Underworld is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

First, there are the Dao Ancestors who came from the ancestral land. Although they made great contributions, the ancestral land also strictly ordered them not to return after the Great Sacrifice begins and this sacrificial period ends. At most, only one or two people can return. The rest are to replenish the strength of the ancient underworld.

Just like the experiences of the previous Netherworld Dao Ancestor, the Later Netherworld Dao Ancestor, and others, after learning that there was little hope of returning to their ancestral land, and having made great contributions, their mentality naturally changed, and they were unwilling to be subordinate to others.

If you can't fight against the ancestral land, surely you can fight against the Netherworld Dao Ancestor?

Therefore, these Dao Ancestors who came to provide support spontaneously formed a small group, with several Dao Ancestor giants at its core, seemingly poised to rival the Dao Ancestors of the Underworld.

The situation was similar in the other ancient lands of origin. The Dao Ancestors who came to provide support were unable to return to their ancestral lands. Whether it was out of a desire for self-preservation or to consolidate their power and seek greater opportunities in the future, they gradually formed their own groups, which led to various conflicts with the Dao Ancestor giants who had previously dominated the four ancient lands of origin.

Besides, there's another special aspect to the situation in the ancient underworld: the presence of Jiang Yun.

Now, with Jiang Yun at the core, along with Hou Ming, the Evil Emperor, the Ten-Crown King, the Double-Pupiled Shi Yi, and the Black Bird, these five Dao Ancestors are showing signs of forming a group. Moreover, after surviving hundreds of battles, apart from the Evil Emperor who has not yet broken through to the Dao Ancestor Giant realm, everyone else has already entered the Dao Ancestor Giant realm.

Among them, Shi Yi, the one with double pupils, and the Ten-Crown King Emperor have surpassed others and made further progress, exploring their own path to becoming Immortal Emperors. The journey to the heavens allowed the Ten-Crown King Emperor to find a way to evolve the World Tree, while Shi Yi, the one with double pupils, also found traces left by the former Daoist with double pupils in the oldest cycle of reincarnation in the ancient underworld.

That person was once infinitely close to the realm of Immortal Emperor, but he died in an accident during the great battle. His era was even earlier than the time when the Dao Ancestor of the Underworld descended to the ancient underworld, and it is completely untraceable. Throughout the entire river of history, no trace of him can be found.

Only Shi Yi, who was also a person with double pupils, was able to sense that person's Dao traces with his Dao Ancestor cultivation level, thanks to the special connection between people with double pupils, and thus clarify his own path to becoming an Immortal Emperor.

As for Jiang Yun, he is already so powerful that he is not afraid of any living being below the level of an Immortal Emperor. It is only in the eyes of outsiders that he is not so outstanding.

Besides, many other things happened in these two hundred thousand years. First of all, what Jiang Yun did not expect was that after Ye Fan became a Dao Ancestor giant, he did not go into seclusion to cultivate. Instead, he fought a series of battles with other Dao Ancestor giants. This battle lasted for two hundred thousand years.

Perhaps it was because he was stimulated by the black hand during the battle in the River of Souls that he truly realized his own inadequacy, and then an infinite desire for the Immortal Emperor realm arose in his heart.

In addition, he himself followed two paths: the path of the Battle Immortal and the path of the Mortal Immortal. After he became the Dao Ancestor, these two paths were directly merged into one. However, he inherited the characteristic of becoming stronger with each battle. Therefore, after two hundred thousand years of great war, his combat power had reached the forefront of the Dao Ancestor giants.

The next step is to find one's own path to becoming an Immortal Emperor. The next step after that is to reach the profound and mysterious realm of Jiang Yun, only then can one truly prepare to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. However, it's unknown how many tens of thousands of years this will take. At the very least, it's impossible in this era, because no matter how heaven-defying one is, it's impossible to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in such a short time.

It should be noted that even a prodigy like the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who was born to cultivate and was destined to face calamity, took nearly three million years to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

This also includes many special moments such as dreaming back to the ancient immortal era. In fact, in normal cultivation, no matter how monstrous one's talent is, it takes a lot of sacrifices to become an Immortal Emperor.

People like Emperor Bone and Willow God are already incredibly powerful, able to become Immortal Emperors in just one sacrificial cycle. Moreover, this is only because the sacrificial cycle is relatively long. Some sacrificial cycles may only last one or two million years, so how could an Immortal Emperor be born in such a short time?

It was during Ye Fan's great battle that, even towards the end, the beings of the ancestral land came to know Ye Fan's name. They knew that there was such a being who came from the same place as the Desolate Emperor, was of the same age, and was in no way weaker than the Desolate Emperor. In the end, even many Dao Ancestor giants from the ancestral land descended into the sacrificial sea, just to fight Ye Fan to the death.

Among them were many former servants of Emperor Yi, but without exception, they were all defeated. And those defeated servants, before their deaths, revealed a piece of news that made Jiang Yun somewhat uneasy:
Di Yi did not die in battle. On the contrary, he has fully recovered and is currently attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. When he reappears next, he will surely be a being at the Immortal Emperor level.

Even Jiang Yun was momentarily stunned upon hearing this news, and many of the younger generation were completely unaware of who Di Yi was. Time truly is the greatest weapon.

However, the older generation all knew how powerful Di Yi was. When they heard that he was going to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, they all looked troubled. Everyone knew that in the current battles at the Immortal Emperor level, Huang Tiandi's side was already at a disadvantage. If there was another strange Immortal Emperor on the ancestral land, the situation would be even more severe.

As a result, many Dao Ancestors secretly ridiculed Jiang Yun, believing that although Di Yi did not kill him in that battle, both of them were seriously injured after the battle. However, after a million years of recuperation, Di Yi began to prepare to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm again, while Jiang Yun remained stagnant.

Not only is there no hope of advancing any further and truly approaching the Immortal Emperor realm, but he also cannot even resolve the injuries to his own Great Dao. In comparison, the gap between the two is considerable.

However, Jiang Yun didn't care much about this, because only he knew his true situation.

However, he couldn't ignore the news about Di Yi, so he specially left the Ancient Underworld and went to the Sacrifice Sea to try to contact Ye Fan and confirm the news with the latter.

"Cousin, that Di Yi is probably going to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but at the very least, it's unlikely that he can achieve the Sacrifice Origin."

Ye Fan spoke to Jiang Yun, and after a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun replied to Ye Fan:
“I know about this matter. I came here to warn you to be more vigilant. After all, this person’s combat power was extraordinary in the past, and there’s no guarantee that he won’t turn against you now.”

"As for me……"

Jiang Yun shook her head, not really caring.

What's there to say about the opponents who were defeated by him? Back then, if it weren't for Di Yi's protector who risked being severely injured by the sword light to take Di Yi away, Di Yi would probably have turned into a pile of bones long ago. How could he have achieved his current glory?
Although this person was strong, Jiang Yun was not afraid at all. He was even confident that he could reach the true Immortal Emperor realm before that person!

Ye Fan was greatly shocked by his cousin's expression. He then realized that most of the rumors about his cousin were untrue. At the very least, his cousin was confident enough to deal with that so-called Emperor Yi!

"More important than this is to prepare early."

Jiang Yun looked at Ye Fan and said seriously, "Especially the world on the other side of the Boundary Sea, we must do our best to preserve it, no matter what, because it is our foundation."

"As for the great battle on the ancestral land, although I don't want to say much, we still need to prepare in advance. At the very least, we need to be prepared for everything to be overturned."

Jiang Yun gave Ye Fan these instructions, and then turned and left. He believed that Ye Fan, with his intelligence, would naturally understand what he meant.

The ancient Heavenly Court, led by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, is dwindling in number with each battle. Even with the continuous support from all realms of the heavens, it is merely a drop in the ocean. If this situation continues, one can only imagine what will happen.

In the last one or two hundred thousand years, more and more ancestral Dao Ancestors have begun to descend into the Sacrifice Sea. Some are for great battles, while others are secretly carrying out various actions. Jiang Yun discovered one of the Dao Ancestors and headed directly towards the depths of the Sacrifice Sea, towards the ancestral altar that had long been destroyed.

There, he discovered the figures of many ancestral Dao Ancestors. They had completely occupied the area, and the Dao Ancestors of all ages could not get close. Then, there, the many Dao Ancestors joined forces to begin repairing the destroyed ancestral altar.

Above it were endless sacrificial texts from the Celestial Emperor, as well as all sorts of unimaginable artifacts from the ancestral land, all for the purpose of repairing the ancestral altar. One can imagine why they did this.

The grand sacrifice should be coming soon, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think. On the other hand, the situation on the ancestral land must have deteriorated to an unimaginable degree by the time of the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Perhaps the day of defeat is not far off; an era of bloodshed in the heavens and the fall of all spirits is about to arrive.

Now, whether it's the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the Willow God, the Menghai Immortal Emperor, or the Luotian Immortal Emperor, they are all struggling to hold on, trying to buy more time for future generations. They still want to continue fighting, but the situation has clearly reached a point where it's beyond repair. (End of Chapter)
