Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

The Immortal Granny's face was contorted, as if ancient ice had shattered, her eyes filled with endless rage and resentment.

She wanted to speak again, but her remaining body was like a candle in the wind, unable to sustain itself any longer.

The last remaining fragment of its origin also dissolved into the Dao, merging into the myriad realms, leaving behind only a look of despair reflecting the vastness of eternity. Its unwillingness almost tore through time and space, causing all living beings to tremble.

Throughout the vast universe, countless cultivators stood frozen in shock, unable to recover their senses.

But deep within the forbidden zone of life, things were in complete turmoil. Ancient divine thoughts tore through the starry sky, like ferocious beasts that had been sleeping for billions of years suddenly awakening.

Even the old man, the demon, and the Victorious Fighting Buddha, who had rushed to the battlefield from the edge of the universe, changed their expressions drastically, their figures froze, and they were filled with doubt and uncertainty, not daring to immediately set foot on that ultimate ancient land.

In that instant of hesitation, a roar that shook the ages suddenly resounded from the path to immortality.

It was the roar of a white tiger, its sound splitting the heavens and piercing the universe, accompanied by endless celestial light bursting forth and chaotic energy surging, as if a great world was being born and destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, a white tiger with half its body mutilated and covered in blood flew backward from the celestial light, its appearance gruesome, as if it had been torn apart by an immense force.

"Immortal...is this the true immortal?!"

"Throughout the ages, we... have all gone down the wrong path!!"

He let out a mournful cry, the sound of which shook not only the galaxy, but also the very foundation of all things, and the entire universe resonated and trembled in response.

The despair and horror contained in his words were more awe-inspiring than his shattered Dao fruit.

Combining the distorted words of the Fairy Mother with the sight of this scene, an unbelievable yet increasingly clear thought arose in the minds of all living beings.

On the path to immortality, there may truly be immortals descending upon the world!
How terrifying it is that a being who was once an ancient emperor was beaten to the point of having his Dao heart shattered and uttered such a mournful cry that has never been heard before.
Upon hearing these words and sensing this scene, a supreme being deep within the forbidden zone could no longer contain himself.

From the deepest part of the Divine Ruins, a dazzling light and shadow tore through the void, its aura shaking the ages. As soon as it appeared, it absorbed the endless essence of the universe, causing countless immortal lights to boil and billions of laws to intertwine.

Without hesitation, he poured his vast and boundless supreme essence into the body of the White Tiger Supreme, who was undergoing the transformation process, intending to slow down the process and hoping to glean the truth about the path to immortality from its mouth.

"What exactly did you see?! What beings exist on the path to immortality?!"

His voice resounded throughout the star field, carrying a hint of urgency and fear that even he himself was unaware of.

However, all of this was in vain.

When his immense energy, enough to reshape the galaxy, surged into the body of the White Tiger Supreme.

He was horrified to discover that although the other party still had an outward appearance, his insides were already empty, and his once unparalleled imperial essence and blood were almost completely exhausted.

Only a flawed yet brilliant Dao Fruit remains, transforming into the Dao and returning to nothingness.

At this moment, although the Tiger King still exists in form, in a sense, it has already perished!

"How could this be...?"

Even though this supreme being was an invincible being who looked down upon the universe, upon witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but feel an unprecedented chill in his heart.

That was an unparalleled supreme being who stood alongside him at the pinnacle of the ultimate path.

Even though he was confident that his own path to immortality was invincible, he also acknowledged that his opponent possessed unparalleled combat power comparable to his own, at most slightly inferior.

Yet this very being, who had only been on the path to immortality for a short time, was struck so hard that his Dao source dried up, leaving only his broken body to transform into the Dao.

The immense terror foreshadowed behind this is enough to chill even the most supreme being to the bone.

However, deep within that endless chill and terror, an even hotter, inextinguishable flame suddenly ignited from the very depths of his Dao heart—

"Immortals!...There really are immortals in this world!?"

Apart from true immortals, he could not imagine what other existence could suppress two supreme beings who had reached the pinnacle of imperial power and returned to the highest level of imperial power in such a short time, forcing them to transform into immortals and return to heaven!
Yes, in that extremely short moment, he had already understood.

Immortal Granny and Tiger King did not voluntarily become immortals, but were forcibly pulled off the path to immortality by an unimaginable and irresistible supreme power, which forced them toward the final outcome of Dao dissolution and return to nothingness!

As the supreme being of darkness within the forbidden zone, such an extremely powerful being would not be thinking of transcending the Dao in the final moments of his life.

They will not voluntarily return their Dao fruits and their purest essence to heaven and earth.

Instead, they will try their best to find ways to ensure their continuation.

Both of them are now forced into transformation by others, driven by anger and resentment.

The eternal silence was broken. Above the Big Dipper constellation, a passage filled with chaotic mist and countless strands of celestial light rumbled, as if it pierced through the river of time and connected the past, present, and future.

This time, the aura emanating from the passage was more real than ever before, and all the laws of nature cried out and retreated before it!
A figure resembling a true immortal stepped down from the other end of the passage, his aura shaking the ages and causing the entire universe to tremble.

"The path to immortality must have been opened, and a true immortal descended from above."

The White Tiger Supreme and the Immortal Granny were defeated and killed in the shortest amount of time when they clashed with that person.

But at the same time, they also came into contact with the supreme immortal path and found the way forward.

"The Emperor Realm is by no means the end of cultivation... there is still a path beyond it!"

"Becoming an immortal is not something that can be achieved simply by following a certain path to immortality. Immortality can also be achieved in this world. The world cannot completely limit us!"

The thought exploded in his Sendai like a thunderclap.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to sever his immortal source, awaken from the deepest part of the Divine Ruins, and resolutely emerge into the world.

Not only him, but also several other ancient and terrifying divine thoughts intertwined and surged within the forbidden zone of life, achieving a tacit understanding rarely seen throughout the ages in an instant.

The void cracked open, and three more figures stepped out, each exuding a domineering aura and flashing cold lightning in their eyes, as if they could turn galaxies to ashes and recreate the universe with a mere gesture.

One was surrounded by primordial energy, as if he came from chaos;

One stands amidst the galaxy, seemingly rejected and driven away by the entire universe;
The other one simultaneously displays both darkness and light; with each blink of his eyes, the world falls silent.

Four supreme beings, once invincible in an era, stood side by side before the path to immortality, gazing at the entrance bursting forth with endless immortal radiance and chaotic energy.

Occasionally, the sounds of dragons roaring through the heavens and tigers howling across the universe could be heard; these were celestial sounds that did not belong to the mortal world, captivating the soul.

"Attack together! The greatest secrets of all time are revealed now!"

The Lord of the Divine Ruins spoke first, his voice like a heavenly bell, shaking the stars and the heavens.

Without hesitation, the four of them simultaneously reached the pinnacle of their spiritual advancement and reclaimed their former Dao fruits!
Rumble——!
The entire universe trembled, and all things wailed. The Heavenly Mark emerged from nothingness, but it did not descend upon their heads.

They all attained enlightenment in the primordial era, merging with the will of Heaven, yet they severed their own ties, relinquishing their imperial status and remaining dormant for ten thousand years.

Although he has now regained his former Dao fruit, he is ultimately an emperor of the "past," not favored by the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Even so, they returned to the pinnacle of their cultivation, their auras becoming extremely domineering, as if they could restart the earth, water, fire, and wind with a single thought, reshaping the universe.

Just as the four were about to join forces and step onto the path to immortality.

call out!
A blur of motion suddenly flew out from the path to immortality, blood splattering across the sky, carrying with it an intense, overwhelming aura of death and resentment!

The four of them felt a sudden unease, their hearts leaping simultaneously.

How long has it been since the seven supreme beings entered? Yet three of them have already perished?

This path to immortality is even more brutal than the path to becoming an emperor; the supreme beings are as insignificant as weeds, and their lives are as fragile as paper!

The entire universe fell into a deathly silence, and all living beings were filled with fear, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Divine Ruins had a blazing gaze, like two divine lamps illuminating eternity, instantly discerning the truth from falsehood. “This is not the fellow Daoist who just stepped in… but a loser from an even more ancient era. His body has decayed, his spirit has perished, and he was buried on the path to immortality countless ages ago. Today, he was merely pushed out by the fluctuations of the path to immortality.”

Before the words were finished, the severed body suddenly exploded, transforming into a dazzling and eternal celestial light that instantly dissolved into the Dao and merged into the world.

The remaining light waves crashed into the starry sky, instantly turning dozens of large stars near the Big Dipper into dust. The dazzling rain of light resembled a cosmic funeral, both tragic and beautiful.

Only the four supreme beings who have reached the pinnacle of enlightenment could stand here and remain indifferent.

If a quasi-emperor were here, even a wisp of light would cause his soul to disintegrate on the spot, or he would turn into cosmic dust.

The path to immortality lay ahead, fraught with peril, yet the four supreme beings' gazes grew ever more resolute.

An age-old wait, a lifetime of obsession, all tied to this journey!

If there is an opportunity to become an immortal or a chance to break through to the next level, these cultivators who stand at the pinnacle of the human world will never back down in the slightest.

This is the culmination of their life's journey, a struggle for destiny, and the inevitable result of their entanglement with the cause and effect of countless ages.

Yet at this moment, not a single person dared to step forward.

This is because the path to immortality is fraught with strange changes, and the spirits and remnants of heroes from the past continue to emerge!
Amidst gasps of horror and astonishment, the chaotic energy surged and churned on the path to immortality.

Like the beginning of time, when the universe was first created and chaos was broken apart, it exudes a primordial aura that is breathtaking.

Suddenly, half of the body, charred black as charcoal and wreathed in immortal imperial laws, burst forth from the void.

Although it was already incomplete and broken, it still exuded an extreme pressure that made the stars tremble and all living beings tremble;

In a hazy dream, the roar of a dragon seemed to echo from the edge of the universe, and all living beings vaguely saw a real dragon crossing time and space.

But the dragon shape immediately disintegrated, turning into a shower of dazzling light, like tears falling from the sky.

The Beidou cultivators who had not yet left were all shaken. Some of them shouted in trembling voices, their voices filled with disbelief and fear.

"Was that... a truly fallen celestial dragon?"

"No, it's not a true dragon. In this ancient mortal realm, when has a pure-blooded immortal dragon ever truly been born? That was the Demon Emperor... Xue Yueqing!"

The moment the name was uttered, the entire ancient Big Dipper star fell into a deathly silence.

Even the far reaches of the universe and the star fields seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure, all living beings fell silent, and the stars dimmed.

Decades or even centuries ago, at a crucial juncture on the ancient human path, someone discovered the tomb of the Demon Emperor Xueyue Qing.

To be precise, it is the burial place of his loyal steed and the soldiers who accompanied him throughout his life of battle.

Although it is the tomb of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing is not actually in that tomb.

There are already tragic records throughout the universe about the Demon Emperor's later years.

The great tomb contained a fragment of the Demon Emperor's past, recording a brief period of his memories.

The path to immortality opened then, but it was not the right time.

Although Xue Yueqing is still the supreme ancient emperor who has integrated the Heavenly Heart Imprint and wields the Great Dao Law, he has entered his twilight years. His vital energy is declining, his lifespan is exhausted, and he is about to pass away in the long river of time.

With unparalleled combat power, he shattered the path to immortality, cutting through all obstacles, and even stood before the gates of the immortal realm, able to reach out and touch the door that had blocked his dreams for millennia.

But in the end, the lamp burned out, the imperial blood dimmed, and it was powerless to push open that last door.

His weapon, revived on its own by this eternal tragedy, roared as it hurtled toward the immortal gate, but ultimately broke.
The Demon Emperor himself could only perish sadly at the end of the immortal path, leaving behind eternal lament and desolation.

Now, seeing his half-destroyed body disintegrate in the air, with light rain falling and the laws of the Dao wailing, countless cultivators felt a pang of sorrow, sharing the desolation and resentment. Many old cultivators even shed tears, as if they were seeing a microcosm of the end of their own path.

Even the four ancient emperors and celestial beings remained silent at this moment, sensing a trace of sorrow.

The immortal path is collapsing, yet the immortal light shines ever brighter, like white clouds unfurling and light gauze swirling, permeated with the aura of immortality, and mixed with strands of the Emperor's laws of sorrow and regret, spreading across the entire starry sky.

Some elderly saints and great saints whose lifespans were nearing their end and who were about to pass away could no longer restrain themselves and rushed forward to greet them.

Their eyes gleamed with their last light; even if they could only absorb a trace of immortal energy, it would be enough to comfort their life's path.

Even with the figures of four ancient emperors and celestial beings standing before them, their imperial might suppressing all ages like four immortal monuments, they showed no intention of retreating. Instead, they reached out to receive this once-in-a-millennium opportunity for immortality.

After all, getting close to the Dark Lord will lead to death, but ignoring it will also cause them to die from exhaustion of their lifespan.

Since death is inevitable anyway, might as well try to get closer; perhaps you can obtain a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to become an immortal.

Before they could even get close, they were already unable to withstand the immense pressure of the Dao. Their bones cracked and popped, and they all knelt on the ground, unable to get up.

Only the fire of longing in his eyes still burned.

Finally, only a few wisps of ethereal light, like smoke and mist, slowly drifted down and entered their bodies.

In an instant, the group of elders felt their bodies lighten, their spirits become clear, and their weakened blood and energy seemed to surge again... Their condition improved significantly, and some even couldn't help but let out a long howl, tears streaming down their faces.

Even the cultivators who were initially panicked and intended to stay away from the Big Dipper stopped and stared blankly into the depths of the Immortal Path.

A magnificent ancient city wall, shrouded in chaotic energy, slowly emerged. Within the wall, vermilion birds danced, true dragons soared, white tigers roared to the sky, and qilin strode forward...

It was both illusory and real, like a celestial painting, or a remnant of a glorious civilization from ancient times, reflecting the heavens and causing all who witnessed it to tremble in their hearts.

Everyone was in a daze, asking themselves these questions.

Did the gates to the Immortal Realm ever truly open for this purpose?

This is the most magnificent and splendid sight in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Rumble!
But the most dazzling scene did not last even a moment before a brilliant light shot into the sky.

The most brilliant and dazzling light burst forth from it, piercing through the city walls, killing the Vermilion Bird, and slaying the White Tiger.

Then, with unparalleled force, it rushed into the vast universe, piercing through one giant star after another during its leap. The entire universe seemed to be welcoming a grand and dazzling fireworks show.

"That is?"

All beings were terrified, and even the most powerful cultivators turned their heads in awe.

The old man, still in the starry sky, raised his hand and stopped a streak of light that was flying by. He stared blankly at the fragment that was flashing with blue light.

"Fragments of the weapon of the Ancient Qilin Emperor?"

"The Qilin Ancient Staff was broken?"

Beside him, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, used the immortal iron rod left behind by the Victorious Fighting Emperor to block several fragments.

At this moment, there was silence and a feeling of dread.

Among them are several fragments of the Qilin Ancient Staff and several fragments of the Immortal Sword of Immortality.

These are two supreme imperial weapons.

Just now, two supreme experts entered the path to immortality, but in the blink of an eye, their weapons were destroyed.

It's hard to imagine how intense and terrifying the battle must have been deep within that cave. (End of Chapter)
