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

Chapter 279 Siege and Kill the Lord of the Forbidden Zone
The celestial bell emitted a divine sound, clear and melodious!

This is a time-traveling celestial bell. Normally, it ignores even those who have attained enlightenment, existing independently in the world. Every manifestation of it foreshadows a divine war.

Throughout the ages, apart from Kunlun, it had the deepest karmic connection with the Immortal Phoenix, but in the end, it still flew away. And now, for the first time, it speaks like this.

"Buzz!"

Yan Ming's crown shone brightly, and a purple lamp shot out, illuminating countless mountains and rivers, while he himself remained untouched by dust. Following him emerged the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings, manifesting their divine mandate and shattering the universe.

Within him, the order of the Quasi-Emperor's Domain was undergoing a transformation, gradually condensing into the Imperial Path Chain!
The Imperial Fiery Body, forged from the Undying Scripture, is the first of its kind since that single sword strike that shattered eternity!
A golden figure born from the Dao Tribulation stepped out from between his brows and landed in front of the Immortal Bell, making its choice through action!

Not to become an immortal, but only to gather all the great medicines of the world.

Yan Ming's black hair moved without wind, his arrogant expression radiating as he cast a dangerous glance at Beidou.

The celestial bell tolls gently beside us!

This entire universe will be his hunting ground!

"boom!"

The next moment, an oppressive aura descended upon the entire universe, filling it with an endless sea of ​​lightning, which transformed into a Great Perfection Fire Spirit Tribulation.

The boundless Dao is vast and boundless, shattering the desolate edges of the universe and sweeping into the great cosmos, turning countless galaxies into dust, as a supreme and sacred law spreads.

Yan Ming charged into the Thunder Dao Abyss, his indestructible body entwined with Dao traces. At this moment, all the Daos wailed, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seemed to be suppressed, thus forging a supreme path for one person.

More than 100,000 years after the beginning of time, a fully-developed fire spirit has appeared once again, roaring across the human world!

"boom!"

The Xuan Guang was devastating, vast and boundless, covering everything and engulfing countless star systems. It was as if it was destroying the human world, annihilating everything and leaving nothing behind.

The rules of the Great Dao are being arranged and constantly changing. One after another, streaks of purple lightning transform into celestial spirits, with surging chaotic energy and blazing electric light dancing wildly. Each streak spans several star systems, incredibly thick and long, which is awe-inspiring.

At this moment, Yan Ming, with the Chaos Bell above his head and the Emperor-Slaying Spear in his hand, pierced through the nine heavens, resembling a Sun Immortal King on the offensive.

A vast expanse of golden blood energy soared into the sky, its fluctuations transforming into a field that imprisoned heaven and earth, piercing through numerous lightning strikes.

As you can see, one after another, the immortal spirits that were suppressing him exploded in the air. Taotie, Azure Dragon, Huashe, and Vermilion Bird turned into dust one after another, becoming brilliant sparks, with fragments of light scattering everywhere.

"Is this the tribulation of reaching the peak of Fire Spirit cultivation? It's terrifying!"

"His tribulations at the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow are different from those of the Innate Holy Spirit."

As he faced three tribulations simultaneously, amidst the heavenly punishment and endless lightning, a golden figure stood alone, fiercely resisting and conquering the Great Dao. The Chaos Bell, the Divine Mark Lamp, the Emperor-Slaying Spear, and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls underwent baptism, each enduring the torrent of lightning and gradually generating the imperial pressure.

With a cry of a crow, time and space begin to collapse, and the river of time flows through them!

A burst of fire blazed into the sky, and a golden figure seemed to break free from the shackles of eternity, traversing most of the universe. All living beings in the myriad realms witnessed this scene, and the terrifying heat almost made them prostrate themselves in worship.

"Is it going to succeed?! It seems the throne of this era belongs to him." The Spirit Emperor in the Divine Ruins spoke, never expecting that the lineage that was destroyed in the past would be resurrected.

Looking at the calamities suffered by later generations, he thought of his own glorious years. His gaze shifted, as if it were millions of years away, filled with an indescribable sense of vastness and etherealness.

Not far away was a princess who stared at the golden crow that spanned the heavens and earth, and only at this moment did she feel relieved.

Some beings are destined to rise and leave their mark on ancient history, no matter how hard she tries to pursue them.

In the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness, deep within the ancient forbidden land, the Chaos Cave remained deathly silent, without any fluctuation.

The Golden Crow of the Sun from beyond the realm is breaking through the tribulation of lightning!

Eleven supreme beings are walking the path to immortality in the cave!

Suddenly, a kind of spiritual light appeared out of nowhere. At this moment, the quasi-emperors around the Big Dipper were terrified, and the Great Sage who was about to pass away also felt a sense of unease. He felt that the world was different and that a great change was about to happen. They seemed to see a corner of the future!
"What exactly happened? What will happen?"

"Could it be that the ancient supreme beings' entry has affected the entire world, and unpredictable changes are about to occur?!"

The world was shocked. Not to mention the strongest cultivators, even ordinary cultivators sensed something was wrong at this moment. Wisps of immortal energy were rising and spreading out from the great crack, and they all felt that something bad was about to happen.

"The path to immortality is disappearing!"

A quasi-emperor exclaimed in surprise, unable to help but retreat. The great rift in the immortal path was healing, constantly closing. This life was truly coming to a complete end, and the curtain was about to fall!

However, at this final moment, a deafening sound rang out, the entire immortal path shattered, and then began to expand again!
All of this was because the chaotic cave exploded, and a figure flew out, stopping everything and opening up a huge dark rift.

This person was radiant and possessed an extremely powerful force. Countless showers of light flew out from his body, like countless stars, dazzling and splendid, incomparably brilliant.

The blood energy surged forth, unique to the Great Emperor of the Human Race. This aura was too intense, accompanied by a roar that was both mournful and shrill, shaking the entire universe and instilling a sense of despair in everyone.

"That Star Emperor, his time is coming to an end." At the edge of chaos, the Holy Cliff Body recognized who it was.

The supreme being who challenged the Immortal Gate with the phrase "Eternal Stars Fall in the West" withdrew from the Chaos Cave, his life essence rapidly dissipating, reaching the end of this life.

As the rain of light faded, his body was a bloody mess, with glistening blood droplets like translucent rubies, dazzlingly beautiful, scattered all over the ground, revealing the white bone fragments.

"This life, right and wrong, has turned out this way, full of hope and despair!" The Star Daoist's voice was low, his words filled with sorrow and grief. After waiting for countless ages, this was the result. In the end, he still failed to become an immortal. What kind of feelings must he have?

Becoming an immortal, becoming an immortal, in the end it's all for nothing.

"The other supreme beings haven't come out. Could it be that they've all become immortals?" A Qi cultivator in the outer starry sky asked in surprise.

In the crowd, Rong Cheng frowned, preparing to leave, vaguely guessing the outcome of this Immortal Path.

"At the last moment, I am no longer in my prime, otherwise I would have been destined to become an immortal in this life!" The ancient supreme being roared loudly. He was originally an ancient emperor with immortal aura and standing at the pinnacle of humanity, but at this moment he was roaring, which was very different from his usual appearance.

He lost that air of having everything under his control; all that remained was resentment and despair.

"The Yin and the Demon Emperor also said the same thing." A voice rang out, almost severing all emotions and desires, leaving only indifference.

As the great calamity shifted, amidst the endless sea of ​​thunder, a golden crow forged from the gold of the Dao Tribulation traversed the universe, striking the nine heavens above and probing the nine netherworlds below.

"Boom!"

Amidst endless lightning, the bell, lamp, spear, and pearl transformed, their golden light illuminating the thirty-three heavens. The primordial energy of all things transformed into a waterfall, surging through the Azure Sea, creating a sense of mythical weight. The golden crow charged into the star field where the Burial Emperor Star was located, condensing into a black-haired man who walked within the forbidden zone.

With the Immortal Bell in hand, he could fight even if that woman made a move.

Yan Ming stood guard at the entrance of the Chaos Cave, watching the distraught ancient supreme being. A purple light flashed in his palm, and a mottled token appeared.

"The right place, the right time, but no right person." The Supreme Being, disheveled and covered in blood, swayed there, about to fall, but he barely managed to maintain his form, nailed to the void.

Yan Ming did not make a move, but simply watched calmly. His golden eyes were covered with Dao patterns, and he saw a different future.

In that timeline, he had a connection with this ancient emperor, using the Purple Token to escape into the Primordial Ancient Mine, obtaining its scriptures and secret techniques, and inheriting the remnant array of the Zhou Tian Stars, thus laying the foundation for his rise.

In this life, he dreamt many times and achieved great success at an astonishing speed, with fewer obstacles and fewer stories along the way.

The tribulation was not yet over, but the climax had passed. The remaining aftershocks roared and moved in tandem with the cracks in the immortal path, making the field here even more violent.

"boom!"

At that very moment, a loud bang echoed from the chaotic cave, and blood splattered everywhere, so vivid and dazzling that it made one's heart tremble and one's pores feel as if they were being pricked by needles.

Bright red blood, like red diamonds, splattered from the chaotic cave, filling the air with mist. Glistening white bone fragments fell out, a horrifying sight.

This was an ancient emperor, whose true form was a wild crane. When he was born, he rode out on pure air and gentle breeze, with an ethereal demeanor. Now, however, he lies dead on the path to immortality, leaving only a pile of bones, a tragic end.

The ancient emperor perished, carrying the resentment of failing to become an immortal, and shattered at the entrance of the Chaos Cave, his blood gushing out in a shocking crimson. It wasn't that he was weaker than others, but rather that he was too old, and in the end, he could no longer hold on.

No matter how outstanding a person was in life, after death, all is vanished!

Yan Ming made his move, showing no mercy this time. He used the twenty-four heavens to weave a net, taking away the shattered ancient emperor, and in the future, another deity, the Desolate Crane God, will emerge.

"what……"

With another roar, the third Supreme Being rushed out, almost instantly turning into a Dao being.

"Why is this happening? Killing the karma of a hundred lifetimes, defying the years of ten thousand lifetimes, all for this one life? Where is my path, my way?!" The ancient emperor roared, shaking the universe. He failed the trial and was on the verge of death. His state of mind spread, causing the ancient forbidden land to tremble.

This is a black-golden roc, extremely bloodthirsty. It attained enlightenment in the early Primordial Era, but now its reign has come to an end. At its peak, its cultivation techniques were too fierce, and it lacked proper nourishment. Now, having failed to pass the trial, it has collapsed at the crossroads to immortality.

Similar to him is the Fighting Saint Emperor, whose combat power usually reaches an extremely high level during his lifetime, but he is unlikely to be the best in terms of lifespan.

"Buzz!"

Not far away, a blood gourd hung high, devouring the Dao patterns imprinted in the void, absorbing all the spilled imperial blood and royal bones.

"The second major medicinal herb."

Yan Ming muttered to himself, refining the lightning to elevate his state, while simultaneously baptizing the Dao soldiers once more with immortal fire.

The so-called opportunity to become an immortal, a hope that was more important than anything else to the Supreme Being, was discarded by him like a worn-out shoe, not even worth a glance.

"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme..."

Another aged voice rang out, defying the passage of time and attempting to contend with the heavens, but defeat is defeat after all. Unable to become an immortal, having endured countless ages of vicissitudes, what more can be said!
"On the path to immortality... listen to my own funeral song, shattering my eternal dream!" The Ancient Emperor of Qilin appeared, carrying endless sorrow and desolation, making those who heard it feel heartbroken.

"So this is the ending? Was it wrong? Was it right? Whoever attains enlightenment in this lifetime will become an immortal!"

Yan Ming looked over and saw that the Lord of the Undying Mountain was no longer as powerful as before, but was full of dejection. He cleaved through the chaos with a halberd, his armor was stained with blood, and he dragged his body away from the path to immortality.

"I am not reconciled!" A blood-stained staff of light appeared, followed by a black and gold shield with dragon patterns.

"Those who are waiting, you are also wrong. This life is neither right nor wrong. It's the right time and the right place, but it's just missing the right person!"

The eighth person appeared, covered in blood and in poor condition, but the moment he stepped out, he was met with the most terrifying attack!
"Supreme Reincarnation, you might as well die on the Immortal Path." Yan Ming charged forward, his killing intent undisguised. His spear was sharp, flashing with a bright death light, as he prepared to send this Lord of the Forbidden Zone to his death.

"boom!"

The two holy bodies beside them also attacked simultaneously, pouncing like a prehistoric beast.

Both of them unleashed their forbidden domains, their radiance filling the universe with countless rays of light, including the life-and-death handprint that tore the world apart, the vast sea of ​​suffering, and the boundless, beautiful rivers and mountains.

Unusual phenomena appeared one after another, merging with Yan Ming's thrust to unleash the most terrifying energy storm, almost causing the entire desolate forbidden land to explode.

"Boom!"

Everything happened so suddenly and so fast. The supreme power surged, penetrating the past, present, and future, shattering the three thousand realms. Even the powerful master of the forbidden zone could not withstand it and was forced to meet the attack amidst a furious roar, flying straight away.

A chaotic bell resounded, its laws boundless. The flowers, birds, fish, insects, sun, moon, and stars on the bell's surface all surged forth, and celestial spirits manifested. True dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, and serpents pounced together, determined to tear the enemy apart.

"Youngster..."

The Lord of Reincarnation suffered a great loss; his Immortal Platform became unstable, and he almost damaged his primordial spirit. He instantly withdrew from the gloom of the Immortal Path and did his best to resist.

"boom!"

An epic collision erupted, rendering even the battle armor forged from celestial gold useless. It clashed with too many imperial artifacts, annihilating space and time. The Lord of Reincarnation was injured and suppressed by a giant handprint.

The Emperor-Slaying Spear pierced his chest, drawing blood of the Emperor. It was a fatal blow, and in that fleeting moment, Yan Ming seized the opportunity.

"what!"

The Lord of Reincarnation roared and flew out, his chest bones breaking, blood exploding in the sky and earth. Moreover, his forehead was grazed by the fist of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, his forehead bone shattering. He fell into the starry sky, using disintegration as the price to go to the faraway wilderness, just to get rid of this passive situation.

The heavens and earth trembled, and the star field shook violently. Yan Ming stepped out using the Xingzi Secret Technique, unleashing one deadly move after another. There was no way he would stop just like that.

"Hey!"

The other two members of the trio immediately gave chase, determined to completely eliminate this supreme being and give him no chance.

The heavens and earth were vast and boundless. Even the supreme beings at the crossroads to immortality changed color, never expecting to witness such a great change after emerging.
