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

Chapter 259 The Secret of the Character "Lin", The Spiritual Treasure Killing Array Slays the Vermilion Bird
"The supreme secret technique of the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana has actually reappeared!"

The ancient snake of the Kunlun clan was also alarmed and appeared near the sealed site, speaking slowly and deliberately.

He sensed that great Dao and immediately knew whose Dharma it was—the legendary secret of the character 'Lin'—that the Holy Spirit had obtained the corresponding Dharma.
Since the mythological era, Feixian Star has been occupied by the Kunlun remnants, and naturally there are some places with strategic advantages and opportunities. The Stone Stele Forest is one of them. In ancient times, nine secrets were manifested and obtained by beings from the outside world. This event was recorded in ancient books and passed down to later generations, making people remember it.

However, as time passed, no one gained any new knowledge from the Forest of Steles. Everyone believed that the existence of the Nine Secrets in this place was just a vague legend and not worth taking seriously.

Unexpectedly, in this lifetime, another being has obtained that lost Nine Secrets.

Within the mountains, the old serpent's divine eyes flickered as it muttered to itself, "It seems the ancient texts are true. Besides the ancient ancestor, there is also an ancient celestial being. The convergence of countless ages is all in this lifetime..."

Runes rippled, life essence surged back, and a strange light flashed in Yan Ming's golden eyes. Dao traces flowed in all directions and appeared on the ground.

He bid farewell to the old serpent, took the candle and went far away, to prepare for the hunt for the demon god.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Court established by the Empress was also preparing for war, and friction arose with the Qi Refining Warriors' formation.

The reason was that a descendant of a certain divine general, covered in blood, went to the Phoenix Nest to ask for help, saying that thousands of his clansmen had been killed by a certain Qi Refining Saint, and that Chaos had been refined into an evil artifact such as the Soul-Supporting Banner.

"The Taoist followers of Flying Immortal Star are unruly and have even brought disaster to the world!" This was the Empress's comment, which was meant to escalate a minor matter and use the incident as an excuse to make a big fuss.

When the Phoenix Court army arrived, the Flying Immortal Star trembled, and the four poles of heaven and earth shook violently. The Kunlun remnants were the first to respond.

The Qi Refining faction was taken aback. How many years had passed?

In just ten years, as the Heavenly Court has departed, the Phoenix Nest has risen again. Is another great war about to begin?
The female quasi-emperor of the Phoenix Dynasty arrived at Feixian Star, conquering cities one after another. Finally, she fought a great battle with Ge Hong, a Qi cultivator from the Jin Dynasty, causing endless destruction. At the critical moment, a jade hand reached out, intending to wipe out everyone on the battlefield. If Rong Chengshi, Ge Xuan and others had not appeared, the situation might have been irreversible.

Faced with the threat of a person about to attain enlightenment, the Qi cultivators reacted quickly, sending an envoy to the Phoenix Dynasty to sue for peace. They were very polite and did not want to make enemies with the Undying Empress.

In the end, the two sides made peace, but the Phoenix Nest's army remained stationed on Flying Immortal Star.

On the Qi Refining side, Ge Hong personally took action to capture the evil Taoist who had fallen into darkness.

After this result spread to the outside world, the power of the Phoenix Nest grew even stronger, forcing a group of Qi Refiners to bow their heads voluntarily.

Those Taoist priests were not without those who were about to attain enlightenment. Ten years ago, they helped them block the swarm of crows from the Heavenly Court, but they did not appear this time, which is enough to show how terrifying the Undying Empress is.

In the following years, the conflict between the Phoenix Nest and the Qi Refiners intensified, and the areas where the armies were stationed were on the verge of war.

Meanwhile, in a certain ancient star field, a terrifying ultimate law erupted. Some people saw death energy, as vast as the abyss, break through its restraints, obscuring the sun and moon, and shaking the world.

After everything was over, a sage personally explored the area and found that nothing was left behind.

This incident didn't cause any stir!
Time passed quickly, and the atmosphere on Flying Immortal Star was tense. The traitorous cultivator committed multiple crimes in a few months, killing several saints. Later, he even revealed that he possessed the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and rebelled against a Saint King, completely causing a major upheaval.

Upon hearing this, a certain sect within the Qi Refining faction was terrified, knowing that disaster was imminent.

The Heavenly Court was the first to respond, forming an alliance with the Phoenix Nest and the Kunlun Remnants to investigate any Daoist sects suspected of harboring the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

People knew that this was just an excuse, and the real target was most likely the immortal tree belonging to the Rong family.

A cataclysmic storm was brewing, the oppressive atmosphere suffocating the Qi cultivators. Some couldn't bear it any longer and sought out the true peerless masters, for only their return could avert disaster. A day later, the situation took a dramatic turn. The anticipated battle on Flying Immortal Star did not erupt; instead, the Divine Court was ravaged!

The "Heavenly Nest Alliance," composed of the Heavenly Court and the Phoenix Nest, marched straight in, attacking and slaughtering, aiming to wipe out the Emperor and annihilate him completely. It was a vast and mighty force, like a cosmic torrent, stretching as far as the eye could see, and it had mobilized a huge army to kill!
The Immortal Queen rides the Ancient Emperor's Nest into action!

The Heavenly Court's Lord Yama also moved, stepping on the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus to tear apart the universe, and shattering all heavens with a single blow of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, exuding a terrifying aura, and directly traversing the Divine Court Fortress.

There are array patterns and defenses here, but they are no match for the cultivator who is about to attain enlightenment. The massive army behind him is pressing in.

The territory of the Divine Court was breached, and the Fire Spirit Azure Flame, who had transformed into a Quasi-Emperor, roamed the starry sky alone, leading the True Crow Army to break through the domains and reunite with the female guard from the Phoenix Nest.

The Heavenly Nest Alliance's blitzkrieg was too fast, catching the Divine Court off guard. By the time they reacted, six of the Emperor's eight sons had been captured, and the other had been forcefully killed by Ye Tong as a political task among the higher-ups.

"I never expected you would join forces!" A crimson dragon aura ripped through the universe, leaping with flames, and an aura approaching that of a supreme being appeared.

As the Divine Court Emperor emerged from seclusion, he gazed at the vast army before him, their imperial weapons arrayed high and their battle formations fluttering in the wind. He suppressed his anger, never expecting that the Undying Empress would stand shoulder to shoulder with her enemy.

Over the years, he has sent envoys with generous gifts to Phoenix Nest many times, hoping to establish good relations between the two families, at least on the issue of Yan Ming.

But this is the scene we see now.

"Fellow Daoist, you are born with the destiny of the Vermilion Bird of this world. If you enter the Sacrifice Cliff, you may become a supreme being of the Li Fire." The man next to the Pure World White Lotus spoke, his expression indifferent. His voice, accompanied by quasi-Emperor level laws, spread boundlessly and resounded in everyone's ears.

Despite his words, Jiang Yifei's sword was dripping with blood, and he had killed countless lives along the way, making him a true killing star.

His realm is unique, falling between Great Sage and Quasi-Emperor, but with the help of that demonic sword, he can unleash some of the power of a Quasi-Emperor.

Yan Ming remained motionless, his expression indifferent. He wore an ancient Taoist robe in the style of mythical times, carried a killing sword on his back, and his golden eyes were filled with order. The Chaos Bell above his head circulated primordial energy, with thirty-three waterfalls flowing from it, making it exceptionally superior in terms of material.

"There is no grudge between us that cannot be resolved. If I am defeated, you will be next. How about we join forces? This woman can be yours then."

No one expected the Emperor to say such a thing in public. He stood there with a majestic figure, wearing a crimson dragon armor. Apart from the Undying Empress and Yan Ming, no one else caught his eye.

"How dare you offend our lord! Your entire clan will be wiped out!" The Phoenix Nest army rioted, many drawing their weapons, their killing intent overwhelming.

"boom!"

The Empress gave too much, and Yan Ming didn't reveal the real reason. He was the first to act, stepping on the south-facing position, flicking his sleeves, and immediately setting up an array to send the Emperor on his way.

Zhuyin, standing to the side, twirled her hands, summoned the Nine Li Diagram for self-defense, and ascended the Eastern Pole Formation Gate.

Dark Kunpeng and Zhen Mi also moved, protected by ancient imperial weapons, controlling things, and together with Yan Ming, they formed a complete ancient celestial venerable killing formation.

"Hey!"

A streak of crimson light cleaved through the sky, shattering everything in its path. The Undying Empress, her long hair flying wildly, her eyes cold and intimidating, urged the Phoenix Nest to fly into the universe to avoid being contained by the array diagram. However, her primordial spirit was also making a move, demonstrating her terrifying cultivation at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

That divine light was so terrifying and unparalleled in the mortal world that it sent chills down everyone's spines. The hair on the bodies of many saints was falling off in a flurry. Even a quasi-emperor as powerful as him could not withstand such an attack!
