Covering the sky: Starting from the Golden Crow of the Holy Cliff

Chapter 245 Evil Spirit and Mingfei, The Divine Court Lord Considering the Imperial Title

The celestial bird cried out, its roar shattering the thunderous sea and azure sky. A gigantic Vermilion Bird appeared, its body covered with secret patterns, as red as blood, with flames raging between its feathers. Its aura was terrifying. With a long cry, it shattered the void of all things and swept forward like a blood-red tide.

The figure inside the Eternal Blue Gold Tower remained indifferent, his hands moving to manifest the Dao Fruit. His cultivation was so powerful that it made people tremble, rivaling that of ancient supreme beings.

Even someone as powerful as Huang Gu couldn't stop him from attacking; he was determined to continue.

In the Emperor's view, beings carrying the destiny of the Holy Spirit Royal Family are difficult to kill, but the will of Heaven manifested and used a miraculous method to allow him to see through everything.

The other party was abandoned by Heaven, and Heaven entrusted him with its own destiny!

"Heaven's will is on my side. I will kill him. Who in the world can stop me?!" The emperor's expression was cold, his voice strong and confident, domineering and unparalleled, possessing an innate and terrifying intimidating power.

He fixed his gaze on his target, his entire body radiating Dao principles and divine light, determined to eliminate the threat, and launched another attack.

People of this caliber have unwavering beliefs; once they've made up their minds, they're resolute and will never back down, no matter what.

"boom!"

In an instant, the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and a fierce flame burst through the sky, sweeping across the land. To everyone's astonishment, the person who had been locked on did not retreat but remained standing in place. The crimson divine light shone through the vast distance to the heavens, and a large rain of light appeared all around, as if the person were a flying immortal.

Those watching from afar were all trembling with fear and retreated at top speed. That Vermilion Bird was not a physical entity, but rather a being woven from the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It was the most terrifying kind of Dao, capable of reaching the heavens and moving the gods, and resonated with the Vermilion Bird of the Immortal Realm.

In this vast world, there are very few who can stop this Vermilion Bird. Even someone as powerful as Rong Chengshi frowned and sighed inwardly, realizing that he was inferior to it. This was the power of a Quasi-Emperor at the Ninth Heaven.

If we don't cross that line, what will we use to defend ourselves?

"boom!"

The tribulation of lightning erupted, and Yan Ming's ordeal was not yet over. At this moment, a new climax appeared, with countless chaotic divine chains of order descending from the sea of ​​lightning and binding him.

Oh no! Those who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines. Why did it have to happen at this time? Even the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation is like this, bound by the heavens for a period of time, and must break free to complete the great tribulation.

"Showing up at this time, isn't that just making him a target?"

"Could it really be that Heaven despises him? This person's killing spree is too rampant, and his reputation is widespread. The hidden dangers sown in the past have fully erupted at the quasi-emperor level!"

Several powerful divine senses probed in; they belonged to the patriarch-level beings of various great domains, all of whom were very old and were closely monitoring the changing situation.

The Emperor's power is evident to all, and he is definitely not easy to deal with. He is one of the most powerful beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Now that Yan Ming is trapped in the sea of ​​thunder, he has exhausted all his tricks. What can he use to fight?
The only hope lies in the supreme being slumbering deep within the forbidden zone of life!

However, those ancient supreme beings who have survived to this day have paid the most severe price, as each resurrection consumes their life essence.

Those who are about to attain enlightenment should not be underestimated!

At the very least, the Lord of the Divine Court is definitely more vigorous in terms of blood and energy than the supreme beings who survived from ancient times. He is currently at the peak of his life and has a good chance of taking that step. The next ten thousand years will be his era.

Faced with such a rising star, are the taboo beings of Immortal Ruins and Sacrifice Cliff really willing to offend him?
"Crash..."

Amidst the thunder, chains of divine order intertwined, binding Yan Ming tightly. The dense web of laws made him look like a mummy.

His fortune seemed to have reached its lowest point, and the final curtain fell in the depths of the starry sky, like a final burst of light before death. The power of calamity surged to a new height, and a vast primordial world descended, with true dragons coiling, celestial phoenixes dancing, and suanni roaring across mountains and rivers with overwhelming lightning...

This is just like a celestial realm, pressing down and crushing Yan Ming. It truly is a case of internal and external troubles.

A thunderous laugh echoed from the Life Mountain of the Divine Realm. The master was in high spirits, never expecting that his greatest threat would die in such a way. He couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.

"As expected, even the heavens despise him. This is a decree to use the quasi-emperor deep in the starry sky to destroy him." The god had a faint smile on his lips, but he soon stopped smiling. Someone was watching this place, locking onto the Tree of Life, their gaze burning.

The aura originated from the owner of those slender, jade-like hands.

She coveted the Immortal Tree and even wanted to seize the Supreme Array Diagram, completely disregarding the ruler of the Divine Realm.

After sending away the jackals, they were greeted by tigers and leopards, which enraged the aged god, causing him to experience great emotional turmoil that day.

"Is he going to die? It seems I don't need to take action," the Immortal Queen said quietly.

Having been invaded by the calamity energy, which had crossed realms, she only vaguely sensed something was wrong at this moment and did not continue to attack. However, she had already offended that unfamiliar quasi-emperor, and there was a great karmic connection between them.

That person must die!

Fortunately, a quasi-emperor from the Ninth Heaven arrived with murderous intent and was willing to lend a hand, allowing her to observe the changing situation calmly.

"A little fellow who has advanced to the quasi-emperor level before he is even a hundred years old is truly amazing. It's a pity that he must have offended an ancient supreme being, and he is doomed to perish today." The Empress sighed softly, how could she not know that someone was setting a trap?

Using divine secrets as a chess piece, using others to do one's dirty work.

This tactic is very clever. Many quasi-emperors have been attracted. A rough estimate suggests that four or five of them harbor ulterior motives. Even without me and that Vermilion Bird, others would have jumped out.

Stifling geniuses and wielding absolute power—this is often the scene.

"Do you really think I have no power to fight back?" At this critical moment, Yan Ming, who was bound by shackles, spoke, looking calmly ahead, his forehead radiating an unprecedented light.

"Hehe, hahaha..."

The Eternal Blue-Gold Tower floated and sank, the ethereal god inside laughed, and this entire star field trembled, on the verge of collapsing at any moment!

At this point, the so-called supreme being of the forbidden zone did not manifest, allowing him to kill the quasi-emperors of the Heavenly Court. This reveals many things.

It was almost exactly as he had guessed in the past.

The true emperors and ancient kings are all dead. When the forbidden beings in the forbidden zone fight desperately, they can return to their former supreme state and remain invincible!
But those people dared not, for afterwards the altar would collapse and their primordial spirits would be on the verge of death—an unbearable burden!

"Even if they are stronger than my true form, it is not a world of difference. The tide is in my hands!" The Emperor's mind was settled, and his Dao heart became more and more solid. At this moment, his understanding of the Emperor's Dao had made a new breakthrough, moving towards the extreme realm, and the Emperor's aura surrounding his body became more and more intense.

This made him even happier, seeing the future glory and splendor, and he even began to consider how to choose his future imperial title.

He established a divine court, and when he attains enlightenment, there will be one more divine emperor among the thirty emperors of all time!
He possesses the true blood of the Vermilion Bird, so perhaps he could also be called the Flame Emperor; it wouldn't be unreasonable to bestow an imperial title upon him using his surname 'Xuan'...

This life is destined for him!

The Divine Court will live on forever in the mortal realm! "You have extraordinary talent and could have been the Vice-Lord of the Divine Court, but alas... you do not understand the will of Heaven. Kill!" The Emperor spoke, his face filled with cruelty and ruthlessness, his eyes chilling to the bone, and the killing intent in the last few words was so intense it seemed to shatter the heavens.

He made his move immediately. The Vermilion Bird transformed into eternal light, crashing against the shore like a raging torrent, and charged towards Yan Ming's altar, aiming to annihilate his primordial spirit.

At the same time, in the Eternal Blue Gold Imperial Tower and the World of Blazing Fire, two fair hands in the distance were also glowing, and the chains of order were clanging as they held back the divine form formed by the Holy Spirit Imperial Bone.

"boom!"

Yan Ming let out a clear shout, and a burst of auspicious light shot up from his head, shimmering with crimson light. An ancient stone token appeared and slammed forward violently.

This is the companion weapon of the fallen Holy Spirit of Dayuepo, with boundless power. After being subdued, it has been carefully nurtured in the Wonderful Realm of Sendai, along with a stone book.

This item is rarely shown to others in normal times. Like the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, it is a unique mark belonging to Yan Ming.

At this moment, it erupted, the stone token shone brightly, and the imperial power was once again displayed!

Amidst the sea of ​​lightning, Yan Ming teetered, bound by divine chains, his entire body trembling. He didn't rush to break free, but instead concentrated all the power of his physical body and divine consciousness to break free of these shackles.
People generally believed that his reliance was on the ancient supreme ruler, and since the taboo existed and could not be easily broken, there were countless people who dared to rebel.

Little did they know that he was the true source of darkness!
"boom!"

Outside, the Immortal Realm pressed down, threatening to engulf the tribulation seekers. True Dragons, Immortal Phoenixes, Vermilion Birds, White Tigers, Suannis, and other powerful creatures all pounced upon them.

Yan Ming let out a clear whistle, drawing all his power into his body. With a slight tremor, the Divine Mark Purple Gold Lamp, located in the center of the Sendai Heaven, cracked open, and a large amount of immortal light rushed out, enveloping a phantom figure.

This is a dark demonic embryo, containing Yin Wu within, originally intending to ascend to the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and combine the power of two Dao Fruits to break through to the Emperor Realm.

But once he truly entered the realm of Quasi-Emperor, his understanding of the ultimate realm of the Imperial Path deepened, and he realized that this method had hidden dangers.

Although it was a scrapped case, it can still shine with the most dazzling light!
Yan Ming gently stroked the lamp's body with his divine sense, a gesture filled with reluctance and regret. This kind of contingency plan could truly save hundreds of years of hard work, but he didn't have that time; time was of the essence.

With a final roar, he did everything in his power to destroy the celestial lamp.

"What's going on?" Everyone who saw it was shocked, especially the powerful people who knew Yan Ming. They were even more shocked and puzzled.

The Fire Spirit is destroying its own divine weapon!

This lamp carries the fruit of a great sage, and has an extraordinary origin. It was forged from divine purple gold and has followed Yan Ming since he rose to fame, reflecting the light of all heavens. Later, it even established twenty layers of heavens. It should be the Dao weapon that Yan Ming values ​​most. Why would he destroy it?
"boom!"

Yan Mingdao's thoughts flowed like a waterfall, and the densely packed secret runes of the character "前" glowed. He destroyed the immortal lamp, from which drops of blood flowed, landing on his body. The blood was so clear and dreamlike that it exuded a terrifying aura.

Why does a lamp drip blood?

Even the Emperor was taken aback, his brows furrowing as he sensed an aura of imperial power. The divine blood light ripped through the heavens and earth, making it impossible to look directly at him, and at the same time, it blocked his Vermilion Bird divine form.

"The blood of the Great Perfection Holy Spirit... has actually been nurtured with life." In the distance, the owner of the slender white hand was shocked and whispered this. She had crossed the ancient times, shared a bed with the Emperor for thousands of years, and had also been acquainted with Ning Fei. With her extremely high vision, she immediately saw the situation clearly and felt that something was wrong.

In comparison, the Emperor's understanding is far inferior!

Inside the lamp, there was flesh and blood, fresh blood, and even bones!
The saying "a mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru" is nothing to people of this level.

There's more to this lamp than meets the eye!

In the dim light, one could see a pitch-black owl inside the bow, surrounded by the mysterious light of the moon. It was very young, and now it had been torn apart. As the lamp body was destroyed, its growth was interrupted, and its whole body was dripping blood.

"This is an aura that originates from the same source as the Fire Spirit, like the opposite of the light side, the sun and the moon. What great ambition! To unite yin and yang and attain the Dao to become an emperor!" In the distance, an old quasi-emperor said tremblingly, having seen through some things, his expression excited.

"Back when the Fire Spirit was first conceived, a Taiyin Golden Crow was born. Both of them inherited the bloodline of the Imperial Fire Spirit from the Ancient Era, but the former rose first, suppressed the Yin Crow, and refined it into an avatar."

"With such a shared lineage, the combined power of these two Dao Fruits would be unimaginable!"

Some people guessed what had happened and were shocked. Such an opportunity was truly rare, but it was enough to give a glimpse into Yama's cruelty.

If they treat even the Yin Crows of the same origin in this way, turning them into furnaces and cauldrons, is it to monopolize the fortune of the Holy Spirit Royal Family's forbidden zone lineage?
But in the end, it was all for nothing!

Faced with the coercion of the Divine Court Master, even a scheming Yama could only be powerless. Instead of waiting for the Taiyin Immortal Embryo to grow to its peak, he took the initiative to shatter the Immortal Lamp and forcibly awaken it.

But why is the oppressive aura of this dark crow so heavy? It can actually block the Emperor.

"The Golden Crow of the Sun possesses multiple royal bones; could the True Crow of the Moon also have them?" some speculated.

Drop after drop of Holy Spirit blood fell and entered Yan Ming's body. His aura grew stronger, and a terrifying aura permeated the starry sky, becoming vast and powerful!

No one knows what the holy spirit imprisoned in the Dayuepo Burial Ground of Gods and Demons is.

In a sense, it was not wrong for the Celestial Venerable to suppress it. The stone spirit represented the ultimate evil, and the lotus flower was also a cauldron, serving as the consort of the evil spirit.

After its body was unsealed, Yan Ming incorporated it entirely into the Divine Mark Purple Gold Lamp, intending to use the Yin Crow to take over and nurture an invincible demonic body.

At this moment, as the sacrificial incantation resounded, the body of the ancient holy spirit was imbued with spirit and showed signs of revival!

"This aura... is it a Great Accomplished Holy Spirit?!" The Emperor's pupils contracted, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Even though he didn't know what had happened to Yan Ming in the past, he could still see some clues.

If it were truly a perfected Yin Crow, how could it possibly be suppressed by the other party? It would surely reign supreme for a lifetime.

"Why aren't you making a move? Kill him!" he shouted, signaling the owner of the jade hand to join the attack, not wanting any unexpected incidents to occur.

"boom!"

However, it was too late. A grand and terrifying aura erupted. Yan Ming held the blood-dripping broken lamp, his brows flashing. Behind him, a dazzling golden light appeared, and a twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus descended to this place, its huge lotus leaves filling the starry sky.

At this moment, the Demon Lord and the Bright Consort manifested, just like in the mythical era millions of years ago, carrying an ominous and chilling aura.

The man and the lotus released an unparalleled and terrifying aura, so malevolent it was almost extreme. He shattered the seal and stepped out, causing all things to tremble.
He actually crushed the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation with his foot!
"Boom!"

He swung the stone token in his hand and hurled it forward, directly facing the Eternal Blue Gold Tower. He had long coveted this powerful artifact.
