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

Chapter 284 Ultimate Sublimation, Clash of Imperial Paths

The ancient supreme being stood outside the Big Dipper Domain, his eyes flashing with a ghostly light. Crimson imperial blood flowed down, which looked dazzling, but his imperial body still stood alone, shrouded in a great aura.

"Do you wish to learn the Void, and offer your life to those ants?" the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness said coldly.

His condition was very poor. He had just left the Immortal Path twice and was severely injured. Being surrounded and attacked at this moment was truly fatal. He might face eternal death after this battle.

"Is this your understanding?" Yan Ming was slightly surprised, then smiled brightly and said, "I almost killed one of his own children."

"Ok?"

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness frowned, then his pupils narrowed. A large handprint wrapped in dark light flew out from his vision, its killing intent shaking the ages, and a dark world could be vaguely seen in it.

"Roar!"

He let out a roar like mountains and seas, his battle armor was covered in runes like waterfalls, his body was radiant with glow, and his aura suddenly became several times stronger. He rushed forward and fought the Holy Body in close combat. The two imperial weapons were fully revived and engaged in a great battle.

"It seems my companions can't wait any longer. Fresh imperial blood, I look forward to it..." Yan Ming licked his lips and smiled faintly. His aura also reached its peak, causing the entire void to tremble.

A pale golden light shone down as he charged forward like a beast from the depths of hell, leaving thousands of afterimages in his wake, moving with incredible speed.

This is the "Travel Secret" driven by the laws of time, a method of unparalleled speed in the world. Yan Ming arrived in an instant, his slender and long fingers slamming down, causing the Imperial Law to fly up.

"Woooo..."

The wind and thunder roared in this place, and gods and demons howled. This attack made the world lose its color and the sun and moon lose their light!
This single collision destroyed vast swathes of starry seas and chaotic wastelands. If Yan Ming hadn't used the Blood Gourd to defend against it at the critical moment, the Big Dipper might have exploded instantly.

"Buzz!"

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness summoned a divine staff, very short, no more than a foot long, forged from Dao Tribulation Gold. It was dazzling and so brilliant that it made the starry river pale in comparison. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere. His body swayed, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered backward, almost flying out of the air, his blood splattering the starry river. He suffered a great loss.

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness is very strong. He has survived the battles on the Immortal Path and still exists, which shows his supreme combat power. His life essence is still intact, so he still has the power to fight. From another perspective, it is enough to show how terrifying the person who made the move is. His brilliant strike is shocking.

"Looks like you're nearing the end!" Yan Ming said.

"Young man, this is just the beginning, don't rush."

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness remained indifferent, forcefully gathering his blood energy. His left pupil was shrouded in darkness, as if it could swallow the universe, encompassing and obliterating all things in the world. At this moment, his left pupil burst forth, darkness enveloped the void, swallowing all the stars in the heavens. Light vanished from the world, leaving only darkness!
This is his law, this is his way, to melt down all the heavens, to engulf Yan Ming, and to deliver a fatal blow!

The opponent's physical strength is even more terrifying than the Holy Body; he has no advantage in physical combat.

At his peak, he feared nothing, even a Great Perfection Saint Spirit could be killed. But today is different. His blood energy is waning, and he urgently needs to unleash the Dark Turmoil. Right now, every bit of divine essence needs to be cherished and controlled, and cannot be wasted in vain.

"buzz"

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness stepped forward, his Heavenly Spirit Bone bursting with light, and endless chains of divine order flew out from his body, like chains of immortal gold, piercing through all directions, all blessing the world of darkness and light.

In particular, the most powerful imperial laws are condensed into talismans to kill the primordial spirit and obliterate it from the source.

"Kill!" The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness said this, and did just that. The world fell, bringing with it endless laws, rushing towards Yan Ming's Immortal Platform.

"boom!"

At this moment, an even more terrifying wave surged into the sky. The immortal bell shone brightly, vibrating with ripples of immortal energy, causing countless stars to fall from the sky. The Great Dao wailed, rising and falling with the bell's waves, and all the laws of the Dao trembled.

The Clock of Time radiated traces of time. Under Yan Ming's urging, it first collided, and the light it emitted impacted dozens of star fields, spreading into the universe.

Then came the merciless annihilation. He shattered the 'Dao' and 'Li' unleashed by the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness, and one after another, the chains of the Imperial Dao exploded in the void.

Finally, a divine spear, fierce to the extreme, pierced through the void!

Yan Ming poured almost all of his power into his weapon. It was clear that the strange fire was surging, and the Supreme Battle Armor could not even provide basic protection under the erosion of the immortal laws, and it was instantly breached.

"Hey!"

A cascade of light surged forth, and the dark red spearhead emitted a deafening roar as it pierced the Supreme Being's shoulder blade, spurting out a large amount of blood.

The ruthless soldiers are once again stained with the blood of the extreme!

The world of laws was instantly blown away, and even the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness was backlashed. He was knocked down by the Immortal Bell and pierced by the spear. The attack of the Holy Body also came, shaking the Dark Shield and causing the Lord of War's eyes to sway. He was like a rock that had stood for thousands of years, finally unable to hold on, about to collapse and reach the end of his life.

The two pursuing figures relentlessly pursued him, like a persistent, invasive disease. The darkness grew increasingly terrifying, causing his body to crack, as if something was trying to tear open his body and erode it.

"Open it for me!"

With a roar, the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness unleashed a surge of innate primordial energy from the top of his head, cleansing his body. In the end, it even oozed blood from his Immortal Platform, forcing back the laws of time and the Emperor-Slaying Spear. He struggled to emerge, staggering and unsteady.

This is astonishing; the power of the Immortal Bell is in the hands of the other party, posing a tremendous threat to him!

Without a doubt, this immortal artifact had definitely killed an Emperor-level being. The moment the bell rang in his ears, it was as if a funeral dirge was playing, and even ancient supreme beings would change color.

"My time is running out, and you've forced me to this point." The Light and Dark Supreme's eyes were icy cold, his blood-stained forehead glowing, unleashing an aura of power he had never shown before, ready for a final battle!
The moment this thought arose, it was put into practice. Perhaps having witnessed the fate of the Lord of Reincarnation, the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness acted decisively and ruthlessly, his primordial spirit blazing with fire that reached the heavens.

In the ensuing battle, Yan Ming made several attempts to disrupt the enemy, causing him to fail in his ascension. However, once the ancient supreme being was on guard, it became difficult for him to replicate the glorious achievements of the Lord of Reincarnation.

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness paid a price, forcing the Holy Body to retreat and leaving for the Mythical Battlefield, thus denying Yan Ming the opportunity to eliminate him. The last loophole was plugged.

"boom!"

A violent collision erupted, light and darkness burst forth. The blood-soaked imperial body, entwined with divine runes and radiating auspicious light, slowly healed the Dao wounds left by the Immortal Bell. His supreme aura swept across the heavens and earth, causing all the stars to tremble. He had recovered to his peak, determined to kill his enemy, even if it meant his own death afterward!
"Young man, though you have courage, you are still ignorant of your own limitations." The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness said coldly, making no attempt to conceal his divine power, as if he could crush the entire primordial universe with a single step!
Forced into this situation, the flames in his chest could almost burn down the entire sky. His killing intent was astonishing, and he immediately made his move, using the complete Emperor Dao Laws to control the light staff and dark shield. At this moment, the extreme Dao aura covered the sky, boundless and brilliant, filling the universe.

This also means that he will soon destroy himself in the most brilliant light.

"Boom!"

The final battle erupted as the three charged into each other, fighting to the death until the vast universe trembled and fragments of time flew everywhere.

The ancient emperor, having ascended to a higher level, unleashed his power, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the earth to crack with a flick of his finger, accompanied by the wailing of ghosts and gods, as the great battle entered its most brutal phase.

Yan Ming calmed his mind and focused his spirit, his eyes undisturbed. His limbs and bones burned with the divine power of the Heaven-Slaying Immortal, flowing with Dao light as if blood were burning within him. He had predicted this moment a hundred years ago. Facing an ancient supreme being who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment, there was no way out but to go all out. There was no turning back; only victory was possible!

Undoubtedly, the All-Encompassing Secret was in operation throughout the entire process. He possessed all nine secrets except for the Number Secret, which corroborated each other, placing him in the Supreme Realm. The success rate of triggering the All-Encompassing Secret was extremely high, and its duration was long, allowing Yan Ming to reach the pinnacle of his life.

He had just undergone tribulation and could be considered extremely inexperienced among forbidden beings. However, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Holy Spirit when he underwent tribulation, with some of the great dragons entering the Immortal Platform. He also possessed the Undying Scripture and had cultivated the Heaven-Piercing Immortal-Burning Technique. Now, with the assistance of the All-Word Secret, his combat power had increased tenfold, allowing him to fight head-on with the sublimated Supreme Being!

"If time changes and blood and energy remain, what are you unworthy beings? Today, I will annihilate you all!" The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness roared, destroying the sun, moon, and stars. He unleashed the flawless imperial law, surpassing all the laws of the world.

Under this fluctuation, Yang Xi's ancestor instantly bled. The Great Handprint of Life and Death was shattered. At the moment of collision, various runes bloomed and then collapsed. His holy body was also almost shattered. It was torn apart by the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness, and his head and torso were separated, with ink blood flowing continuously.

"boom!"

However, the next moment, the most dazzling light erupted from the mythical battlefield, illuminating the boundless starry sky, shaking the ages, and shattering all imperial paths!
Yan Ming made a finger seal, and as his hands moved, afterimages appeared in many places, buzzing and humming, like the flapping of wings of an ancient golden crow, bringing with it a terrifying gale.

The celestial bell unleashed countless rays of divine light, dissolving rules and tearing apart order. Even the complete laws of the ultimate path could not withstand it and were swept away by the bell's waves.

"Oh!"

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness, with keen spiritual senses, did not turn around. He used the Golden Staff of Tribulation to support Zhong Bo, and spat out a beam of blood light, which transformed into an indestructible heavenly blade. Like a divine dragon swinging its tail, it swung upwards at great speed, aiming to sever Yan Ming's forehead bone.

With a whoosh, a blinding light erupted between the two as the celestial bell and the light staff collided, unleashing two vibrant runes that cascaded like a galaxy, dazzling and spectacular.

"Zhong Mie!"

Yan Ming roared and charged forward with the Immortal Bell, shattering the light staff and breaking the imperial artifact, which already had cracks.

In that instant, the two clashed dozens of times, obliterating everything in their path and extinguishing all life.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the sky was filled with the poignant blood of the emperor, a crimson hue tinged with various colors. The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness, disheveled and bleeding, fell from the sky, his severely wounded body clutching a shattered scepter and shield. Even weapons forged from Dao Tribulation Gold and Dragon Pattern Black Gold were no match for them, which dimmed and faded in the chaos of battle, heading towards destruction.

Yan Ming's body immediately blurred, disappearing from the spot and arriving through the air to continue his attack, carrying the war of killing the emperor to the end.

His path to enlightenment was rapidly perfected during the great battle, and the essence blood he had recently obtained on his path to immortality was being refined into lamp oil to nourish his primordial spirit. His accumulated wealth far exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Hehe, haha, this is the Immortal Bell. No wonder some old people are so eager to see it..." The Light and Dark Supreme staggered as he looked at the Time Bell, his face bearing the blood-stained glory, a cold smile mixed with sinister eyes.

A living fossil from the forbidden zone once said that the ancient Heavenly Court's master, the Emperor, was also severely injured by the Immortal Bell, resulting in an incurable wound, and was eventually killed by the rebellious emperors.

Will this day be a replay of ancient history?

No, he will change all that; he will sink the Immortal Bell.

"cut!"

Yan Ming shouted, unleashing a powerful surge of life force.

He unleashed the great divine power of the Golden Crow of the Sun, traversing thousands of miles and penetrating the vast starry sky. A blood gourd instantly erupted, condensing the essence of the galaxy and swiftly unleashing a sword strike!
On the other side, the Holy Body, acting as a feint, charged forward like a sun, unleashing a torrent of Dao fire. Surpassing all speed, it blocked the path ahead and clashed with the Lord of the Divine Ruins several times. At this point, however, his strength was insufficient; if he were to take on the main offensive, he would truly perish!

"puff!"

The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness emitted light from between his brows and unleashed a stream of light with great effort. The light rain, mixed with blood, collided violently, causing fragments of weapons to fly everywhere. A small portion of the staff and the shattered shield turned into countless fragments of immortal gold, which could never be repaired.

At the point of impact, the entire cosmic wasteland was destroyed, galaxies dimmed and annihilated into nothingness, dust was scattered, and the blood-soaked supreme being tore through the universe, launching a preemptive attack.
The battle between emperors continues, the mythical battlefield is in turmoil, imperial blood flies everywhere, a three-way battle takes place, and all sorts of terrifying and bizarre events occur. In particular, this battlefield of celestial beings from the mythical era is experiencing torrential rain of blood, with streaks of black lightning flashing and thunderclaps following one after another.

In the distance, one can vaguely see endless heavenly soldiers and generals returning, ancient heavenly palaces hanging high, a golden sun rising, radiating boundless light, moving in harmony with the Fusang tree.

Unfortunately, nothing matters in this imperial war; all strange phenomena and bizarre scenes will be obliterated, and a burst of light will erupt from the ruins of the star system.

"boom!"

Once again, blood gushed into the sky. This time, it was the blood of immortal crows, flowing with the life essence of the most divine and sacred beings. The Heavenly Venerable Battlefield collapsed, and some enormous corpses were blown to ash.

But then more imperial blood splattered, accompanied by the roar of the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness, shaking the outer realms and causing the souls of the creatures in the nearby star fields to tremble, chilling them from head to toe, with a deep chill in their bones.

Meanwhile, on the distant ancient starry road, the Lord of the Divine Ruins and the Supreme Abandoner of Heaven have already embarked on their journeys, each following the paths they remember to begin their bloody cleansing of the world and unleash a dark upheaval.

They sensed the ripples of ultimate sublimation and saw the laws of the celestial bell, yet their hearts remained unmoved.

Having traversed countless ages and walked the path to immortality, how could one willingly perish at this moment?

"It seems that the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness is about to be defeated. Even if he returns to the throne, he cannot make up for the deficiency in his life essence. That bell, which intertwines time, is too much of a constraint on us."

The cold voice of the Lord of the Divine Ruins rang out. He descended upon an ancient star, washing the heavens in blood, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood in his wake...
