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

Chapter 250 Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven, Guang Chengzi

In the black starry sky, a figure stands tall, like a pillar supporting the heavens, reaching the divine palace above and stepping into the netherworld below. There is an indescribable sharpness about him, which is the manifestation of the Dao and the release of ruthless rules that can obliterate everything in the world.

The pressure is too much!

Yan Ming's celestial platform was crystal clear, and his essence, energy, and spirit rapidly increased. Strands and strands of silk intertwined to form his physical form. To be precise, after his tribulation, he underwent a life leap, and his blood boiled. These were life imprints and chains of order!

At this moment, the terrifying pressure of the Quasi-Emperor Level 3 erupted, causing waves to crash against the shore and making the inside of the Phoenix Nest tremble!
The fusion of Yin and Yang, and the Taiyin True Crow brought Yan Ming a comprehensive improvement, leaping him from a newly promoted Quasi-Emperor to a Second Heaven existence. Not to mention that it also contained the essence and blood of a Great Perfection Holy Spirit, as well as the dark accumulation of the past years.

During his dual cultivation with the Empress, his divine power surged, and with the assistance of a quasi-Emperor at the ninth level, he reached the pinnacle.

At the last moment, he even blasted through that 'membrane' and advanced further from the peak of the second level!
With his current level of cultivation, he doesn't even need to make a move. Just releasing a little bit of his aura is enough to make cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor level tremble and their physical bodies shatter.

Compared to before, the absolute dominance and overwhelming sense of pressure from above in this realm is indescribable!
As far as Yan Ming is concerned, now a single strand of his hair can wipe out a top-tier lineage, a wave of his hand can destroy a star field, refine the sun, moon and stars, and if he has any killing intent, he can instantly annihilate a group of sages.

If one were to ascend to the realm of divine prohibitions, one could absolutely fight against giants at the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm or above.

Because he possesses ancient immortal skills and uses the Undying Scripture to temper his body, he is fundamentally far stronger than beings of the same realm, and has always been able to defeat the strong with the weak and overcome the superior with the inferior.

Now, with his divine power soaring to the heavens and standing at the Quasi-Emperor realm, he truly has the potential to soar to the top.

With the addition of that Imperial Dao Gourd, even those on the verge of achieving enlightenment would be fearless, daring to burn their blood and borrow another body to fight!
Finally, the diva fell silent, indicating that she would consider it.

She sensed something was wrong. The opponent's strength was too great, exceeding the scope of the Third Heaven. Even she felt some threat.
A strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart, and her most acute intuition told her that there was something seriously wrong with the creature in front of her, which immediately made her think of another invincible being.

"It's very similar... The Emperor also has a similar aura of law."

The Immortal Queen stared intently and noticed the details. It was indeed very similar, with that divine, ethereal charm that was sacred at the very tip of the breath, and the pure white aura that was unforgettable at first sight.

She sighed inwardly, unaware that this was a unique quality found only in Taoist scriptures.

From a higher-dimensional perspective, the laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are incomplete, making it difficult to nurture life-giving substances. Even if there is immortal energy, it will only be seen on the path to immortality, and is rarely seen in the mortal world.

Strictly speaking, the 'qi' on Yan Ming's body is not a celestial substance, but it possesses similar sacred patterns, making him stand out among the beings in the Dharma-ending Age.

Just like the immortal demeanor before attaining enlightenment, it could make the Kunlun clan welcome him with open arms and lend him their immortal bell.

After a long silence, the Empress chose to back down and took out two more fragments of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, which almost accounted for half of her resources. In the original timeline, the three ancient gods had only received this treatment.

It's less of a transaction and more of a way of winning someone over.

She was optimistic about Yan Ming's future, believing he would almost certainly become a powerful master of the imperial path.

After agreeing on a time for a joint attack on the Divine Court, Yan Ming departed.

The spatial node he emerged from was unfamiliar, located on the edge of an unknown chaotic place. Clearly, the Empress was very concerned about her reputation, steer the Phoenix Nest deep into the no-man's land to avoid gossip from the Quasi-Emperor circle and the forbidden zone.

It's commonly known as: "Having become a tyrant, one still wants to erect a white jade archway (a symbol of virtuous conduct)."

It is perfectly acceptable to name this 'adulterer' in this regard.

He soared through the air and rushed into a desolate area. Soon after, a vast sea of ​​lightning crashed down, a double calamity descending simultaneously with outrageously powerful force.

This is exactly the kind of tempering Yan Ming needs!

His cultivation level rose too quickly, and he needed a great battle to make up for it. His previous slaughter of quasi-emperors was entirely due to the Dao Fruit of the Holy Spirit of Dayuepo. That feeling of being omnipotent was naturally good, but it was a castle in the air. Once he broke free from that shell, the emptiness was like a bone-deep sore that it could make him depressed for a long time.

The simplest point is that he lost the Divine Forbidden Domain, and could no longer freely ascend to the summit. He needed dozens or even hundreds of attempts to barely break in.

The difference is unimaginable!

"boom!"

Jin Yang leaped up, transforming into a golden ancient crow of the Dao Tribulation, soaring straight up for ninety thousand miles, terrifying to the heavens, as if it could refine all things and create the world!
This is the true form of the Immortal Crow. Behind Yan Ming, there seems to be a real immortal world. The Fusang tree rises from the ground, the golden crow carries a bell in its mouth, flaps its wings and plunges into the sky. The whole world cannot contain it, and it fights fiercely against the humanoid lightning.

For nine consecutive days, Yan Ming honed his skills in the sea of ​​lightning, often drawing blood and engaging in fierce battles. During this process, his Dao Fruit rapidly stabilized, and his originally somewhat weak divine power became increasingly solid. The profound meaning of the Undying Scripture revived, and he regained his Immaculate Body.

Finally, the lightning dissipated, leaving him alone in the divine barrier, chewing on the quasi-emperor level Dugu. Behind him stood a forest of black shadows, all peerless masters who had died at his hands.

"Buzz!"

Yan Ming's forehead glowed, and from this interaction with the Heavenly Dao, thousands upon thousands of divine chains of order descended, all gathering on his body and hanging above the stars. He seemed to have ascended to immortality, with a divine chain appearing from every pore, as if he had been reborn in the flames of immortality.

Behind him, a pair of eyes opened, staring at his back, cold and indifferent, as if they had extinguished all emotions and desires, and severed all feelings in the world.

The darkness shattered, and a candle dragon appeared. The altar was severely suppressed, remaining motionless and shrouded in gloom among the clouds.

As an ancient ancestor, her ferocity is unimaginable. If her life were not in someone else's hands, she would definitely have risen up and caused chaos.

In this realm, very few beings are willing to be servants. Even those who submit are basically bowing and kowtowing to the ancient supreme beings. It is difficult for those of the same level to gain their recognition, even for those who are about to attain enlightenment, such as emperors.

The fact that there is only one Feathered Heaven cultivator at the first level of the Divine Court gives a glimpse into this situation.

"You want to fight me." Yan Ming murmured to himself, standing in the starry river, not turning around, frozen in place.

In the chaos, those terrifying eyes became even more dazzling. After realizing that the mark on the altar had been removed, Zhulong suddenly stood up and let out a deafening dragon roar, ready to fight the great enemy. She was never one to submit and would never yield to a holy spirit whose strength was inferior to hers.

This battle started quickly, but ended even faster.

Zhulong's magic eyes descended. This was a renowned time-related treasure, not her weapon, but a rare treasure forged tens of thousands of years ago by another quasi-emperor at the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm. It was powerful enough to shatter the sun and moon and traverse the three thousand worlds.

"boom!"

However, the being shrouded in Dao patterns simply raised its hand, as if an ancient immortal had descended to earth, and slapped the heavens, knocking the Candle Dragon Seal away. The deities inside wailed, unable to withstand such an attack.

He caught a quasi-emperor's weapon from the seventh level of heaven with his bare hands!
"Ah..." Zhulong was terrified and trembled all over. Yama was too terrifying. It was as if he was paying homage to an ancient supreme being. He really had that kind of aloof and superior aura.

Yan Ming stood still, simply looking at her indifferently. The power to sever hearts and destroy souls was so overwhelming that even the Kunlun Quasi-Emperor of the Fourth Heaven trembled at it.

Under this sweeping gaze, the dragon transformed, shattering a large expanse of clouds, and in the magnificent crimson glow, it turned into a beautiful woman, who was completely convinced and bowed before it.

"Zhuyin...pays respects to my lord!" She knelt down, all her resentment and frustration dissipating, leaving only a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion).

"Zhuyin" is not a name, but a title bestowed upon the ruler of the Zhulong tribe, much like "Diaochan" in ancient China or "Chang'e" in mythology. These are titles for female officials, not individual figures.

After subduing this generation of Zhuyin, Yan Ming learned many things. The Zhulong tribe had a Heavenly Venerable-level expert in the mythical era, who sealed himself away, but met a tragic end, being forcibly suppressed and killed when the ancient Heavenly Court launched a strong attack on Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

The Emperor was extraordinary; even the ancient Zhulong, having reached its ultimate level of sublimation, was no match for him. The ancient formation was breached head-on, and in that battle, dragon blood was spilled all over Kunlun.

Their lineage also declined and never regained its former glory.

However, because of the Ancient Venerable Zhulong, the Kunlun descendants took good care of them.

A thousand years ago, the quasi-emperor Qingyang, from the Qi Refining faction, took action and killed the previous generation's old Zhulong. She and three quasi-emperors from the Kunlun clan attacked together and almost swept through the enemy and wiped out the Ji clan.

But at the last moment, a terrifying figure appeared and forcefully stopped the fighting.

"In the past, our lord fought against the Qingyang clan, driving them mad and causing them to flee, creating boundless bloodshed. This may attract the attention of that invincible quasi-emperor," Zhuyin said.

Then the strange occurrences during that period were brought up again.

She had no enmity with Yan Ming, and even had some goodwill towards the Heavenly Court because of Qing Yangzi, but at that moment the heavenly secrets were in chaos and everything was shrouded in mystery.

"At that time... I saw a glimpse of the future." Zhuyin sighed softly, his expression complex, because that future had truly become a reality.

Time achieves a closed loop!

It's truly regrettable.

All signs indicate that when Yan Ming broke through to become a Quasi-Emperor, a technique targeting him was launched, causing the heavenly secrets to boil and attracting multiple Quasi-Emperors, including two who were about to attain Dao.

This can be described as a fatal calamity.

However, no one could have predicted that Yan Ming had a backup plan. Once the Great Completion Holy Spirit Body was unleashed, empowered by dark matter, it caused widespread suffering in the human world. The once high and mighty Quasi-Emperors were reduced to pigs, their blood splattering across the starry river.

“An ancient supreme being who is hostile to me.”

Yan Ming's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of the Reincarnation Sea, then the Immortal Tomb and the Primordial Ancient Mine, before shaking his head, unconcerned.

They didn't even dare to stand up.

Even the ancient supreme being in the shadows is nothing more than this. In the end, the other party is wary, fearing that it might attract the attention of a being of the same level who is sleeping deep within the Immortal Ruins, which would be a greater loss than gain.

“Time…time…” he murmured, then his eyes flickered as he received a message, and his expression immediately turned cold. It was a message from a certain official of the Heavenly Court.

Yan Ming did not humiliate Zhu Yin, who was willing to surrender. The two walked side by side, no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship.

With a soft sound, the universe was torn apart, and two quasi-emperors descended upon the divine realm.

In the blink of an eye, from the desolate land to the battlefield where shouts of battle shook the heavens, no one knew that a fierce battle had broken out in the divine realm.

Saints are as numerous as clouds, constantly striking down stars; terrifying figures fight fiercely in the clouds.

One of them has a very special aura... originating from a special cultivation system, absorbing the essence of the universe, and possessing a unique Daoist charm.

The 'god', this great domain lord, was besieged and fought fiercely, but alas, divine light shone upon him, and there were also beings on the other side who falsely held the quasi-emperor status. In the midst of the radiance, his path was constantly blocked.

His body was riddled with weapons and covered in blood. This terrifying being, a god-king who had lived two lives, had actually come to this.

High in the sky, the supreme array diagram forged by the ancient celestial being roared through the heavens, battling against another divine diagram.

Behind the group of Qi cultivators, streaks of rosy light intertwined to form a figure, with an ethereal and otherworldly air, white hair and a youthful face, engaging in a great battle against the Dark Kunpeng of the Heavenly Court.

This Taoist is truly powerful. With a flick of his finger, light flows like a waterfall. He is not only dealing with the Kunpeng, but also guiding the sea of ​​mental power. His Taoist attainment is extremely high, and he has the supreme demeanor of a generation of immortal masters.

On the other side, twelve Qi cultivators, each a master of the Daoist sect, formed a great formation, merging with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and slaughtered the master of the Divine Realm, sending him flying and staining the sky with blood.

It must be said that this is a terrifying group of cultivators. They can annihilate a Great Sage, and when they are combined and use the ancient array diagram, they can rival a Quasi-Emperor. They are hard to resist!
"Guang Chengshi, the Lord of Kongtong Mountain, he actually came here." Zhu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recognized the powerful Qi Refining cultivator who had a great reputation on Feixian Star.

She was puzzled, wondering why Guang Chengzi had come here. Was it for that Supreme Immortal Map?

This is illogical. You must know that the Immortal Scroll must be equipped with a complete set of swords to unleash its full power, and the Immortal Trapping Sword is currently in Yan Jun's hands.

With his reputation, how could a mere member of the Guangcheng clan dare to provoke him?

"A tree of immortality, do you think it's worth it?" Yan Ming's lips curled slightly, showing no prejudice against so-called mythical figures and no surprise.

The fact that the Qi Refining faction learned about the Tree of Life so quickly suggests that there must be some extraordinary individuals among them.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Court had been planning this for a long time, sealing the heavens and the earth. Only when Yan Ming broke through the barrier during his tribulation was this other world revealed to the world. But only a few days have passed since then.

It can lock onto the information of the immortal tree and then launch a conquest that spans galaxies!

With such mental fortitude and methods, if it weren't for the intervention of a quasi-emperor from Heaven at a critical moment, the Tree of Life might have already changed hands.

Among Qi cultivators, there are figures like the Qingyang Clan, and naturally there are other hawks who would laugh at anyone who thinks they are all good people.

Once you reach the Quasi-Emperor realm, who hasn't had their hands stained with blood?

The fact that the other party dared to come to the Divine Realm in order to achieve immortality and live another life already speaks volumes.

"Who are you?"

A Qi Refiner spotted Yan Ming at the edge of the battlefield and rushed over, loudly questioning him.

"Since you're here, don't leave."

Yan Ming stood on the void rift, making no attempt to conceal his powerful aura, which instantly surged like a vast ocean, sweeping across the six directions and eight wastelands.

"boom!"

He was bathed in light, and divine power began to flow through him.

With a thud, Yan Ming slapped out a giant hand that covered the starry sky, pressing down all the beings in the Qi Refining camp, and then exerted his power to strike this place.

With an overwhelming force, the army of Qi cultivators, who had previously been fighting against heaven and earth and displaying an unparalleled attitude, were instantly frozen in place, turned into statues, and could no longer move.
