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

Chapter 293 Monkeys Make Havoc in the Underworld at the End of the Primordial Era

"Don't you want to talk to me? He's just a dead man. Even if you don't kill him, my time is running out." The Prison King said with a smile, blood trickling from his mouth and his brow splitting open, from which black blood overflowed.

The Dark Quartet stood deep within the Evil Lands, looking down upon the former supreme rulers.

Sometimes, silence is also an answer!
The Prison King was no ordinary person and did not want to be treated like this. He remained silent, turned around, and slowly walked to a death monument. He calmly sat down, maintaining the equal status between the two parties.

"Just as you all think, I am not the Underworld Emperor. In the mythical war, I wielded the Underworld Treasure and fought against the heavens on his behalf, causing that upheaval," the voice echoed on the ancient stele, booming and making heaven and earth submit.

But by the end, his voice was filled with melancholy.

Clearly, that battle had a significant impact on him. Several top-tier imperial experts, all at their peak after consuming the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, failed to kill the Emperor and even allowed him to achieve eternal glory. This was a huge blow to the Supreme Being.

"The Underworld Emperor did not perish; he revived a million years ago, causing unease among some people in the Underworld and resulting in tremendous changes."

"That time, Changsheng left. He had discussed the Dao with the Underworld Lord and knew how terrifying that person was, so he did not want to be his enemy."

"He's always like this, trying to evade fate and karma, thinking that he can just cut ties and leave."

The Prison King muttered to himself, revealing some astonishing secrets. He was about to die, clearly because he had encountered four beings of the same kind, or rather, beings of equal caliber, and wanted to reveal some ancient secrets that he had kept hidden in his heart for a long time, not wanting to take them to the underworld.

As for those Yin soldiers and generals, even the three Quasi-Emperors and Ninth Heaven Palace Masters, they were probably just ants in his eyes, and had no interaction or common ground with him, a Heavenly Dragon who dwells in the clouds.

"That lifetime was when the Fighting Saint Ape was in power," Yan Ming suddenly said, recalling the mention in Shrouding the Heavens that the Human Demon had met Duan De in the Primordial Era.

The Emperor of the Prisons' eyes flickered slightly, confirming his guess. At this point, there was no point in denying it.

The great upheaval at the end of the ancient era, which seemed accidental, was actually orchestrated by the underworld.

"That monkey came to the underworld and caused quite a stir. In the end, it clashed head-on with the funerary artifacts and coughed up blood," said the person above the cold stone tablet.

The monkey's disturbance in the underworld was neither a major nor a minor matter, not enough to warrant a major intervention from the Supreme Being of the Underworld. However, the resurrection of the Underworld Emperor was a different story, and many people feared his reckoning.

After the Holy Emperor of Struggle passed away, the masters of the Yama Palace and the Prison Palace took action and killed the quasi-emperor entrusted by the Monkey King, causing chaos throughout the world.

Yan Ming understood that this result was not unexpected.

How could an ancient emperor, especially one who wasn't ruthless, not have a few quasi-emperors under his command?

When that monkey was in power, he was quite fond of talent. Even when Hun Tuo challenged him, he only knocked him away with a single finger. His care for him was self-evident. A ruler with this kind of personality can definitely win over the future emperor to his loyalty.

"In that lifetime, the underworld's ghostly soldiers went out in all directions, but found nothing."

"If this is just a worry, the fact that the Heavenly Treasure, or rather the Heavenly Nether Treasure, flew away tens of thousands of years ago was a sudden change."

“Apart from the rebirth of the Underworld Emperor, no one can summon the Heavenly Underworld Treasure from the Underworld. During that time, Yama passed away, the Corpse Emperor went far away, and the Source God and Source Ghost also disappeared. In the vast Underworld, only I remained.”

"The Underworld Emperor is a genius... He inspires great fear in people's hearts. I know he will return sooner or later. He has been forging a path for immortality, and no one has gone further between life and death than him."

The Prison King showed no emotion, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth; his reign was truly coming to an end.

He has lived for far too long, traversing from the mythical era to the present, and this moment marks the end of his life.

"It seems that Cao Yusheng went too far at that time and encountered a sudden change, so he had no choice but to call back the Netherworld Treasure." Yan Ming did not think that the Heavenly Netherworld Treasure would betray him, because that was impossible.

Even if the spirit of the Immortal Cauldron wants to break free of its constraints and be reborn as a human, as long as the Emperor is alive, he will never be able to resist that person for all eternity.

Because the weapons contain the blood, spirit, and imprint of their creators, this suppression is even more terrifying than blood ties.

Even though the Netherworld Treasure and the Chaos Blood Monster have merged into one, and the Netherworld Emperor has been reincarnated and is extremely weak, as long as his primordial spirit reappears, he is still the most severe 'father' of the Netherworld Artifact.

The idea that a celestial artifact can "kill one's father" only exists in theory!
It's practically impossible...

The conversation in the underworld lasted a long time, during which the King of Hell revealed many secrets as a parting gift.

Although Yan Ming and the others came to see him off, he didn't care at all. He never bowed his head, never made a last-ditch effort to summon the Heavenly Nether Treasure, and never asked other forbidden zones for help. Perhaps it was the pride of a mythical supreme being, or perhaps he had worn the mask of the Nether Emperor for too long and could no longer bow his head...

The Golden Crow Elixir of Immortality was destroyed in the mythical war against the heavens. It was successively collected by the Emperor and the Golden Crow Heavenly Venerable who guarded the Eastern Heaven. During the great war, the two fought each other and destroyed many buildings in the Heavenly Court.

The latter opened up the Holy Spirit Forbidden Zone after the war. This statement seems inaccurate, because the Holy Spirit Royal Family Forbidden Zone existed in the mythical era... The Prison Suppressor Emperor knows a lot. Like the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, he has lived through countless years and can be called a living fossil of the End of Dharma Realm.

When Yan Ming spoke up, indicating his desire to locate the hiding places of the Source God, the Source Ghost, and the Chaos Blood Monster, the ancient supreme being remained silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.

He sensed a certain intent in Yan Ming's eyes, unlike the others. That gaze, which regarded the Supreme Being as prey, was too blasphemous.

The opponent possesses a celestial bell and is unafraid of the Heavenly Nether Treasure; they intend to wipe out those three in one fell swoop.

The Prison King was straightforward and gave the answer directly. Having slept with those people for countless millennia, he naturally wouldn't be without precautions, as they were all too familiar with each other.

In a sense, those three were tantamount to betrayal, fundamentally different from the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Corpse Emperor. Those two left peacefully, without concealing their whereabouts.

"At the end of reincarnation, everything will come to an end, and the underworld is the final destination of all spirits..." The King of Hell struggled to get up and said these words, which echoed in the underworld like a curse.

"It has been said... This will be my end, my final resting place, my burial ground." He began to falter, his body staggering, on the verge of collapsing, about to become dust in history. Even a supreme being of his generation was reaching the end of his life.

The eyes of this ancient supreme being held reluctance and resentment. Although he had killed countless people and was already hard-hearted, his wish had not been fulfilled, leaving him with a deep sense of regret.

Throughout the process, he did not make any demands on Yan Ming, even though he knew that three of the four were originally corpses who had attained enlightenment. Even if these new primordial spirits had some traces of their past lives, they were vastly different from resurrection. The underworld had been doing this all along, so it was not a novelty.

"What is immortality? Ask the whole world, and no one can achieve it. In the end, we all turn into a handful of dust. No matter how outstanding your talent or how great your heroism, it won't work." His body could no longer hold on, and black blood flowed out in streams. His whole body was burning with dark light, and he said with a tragic air, "Back then, the Emperor... hehe... haha... wanted to sacrifice us alive, but in the end, he failed to become an immortal!"

"Being tormented to this extent by the end of the Dharma..."

Yan Ming shook his head, as the 'second', he had to give him a quick death.

The Emperor-Slaying Spear flew out, carrying a streak of dark blood, piercing through the Emperor's bones and sending the Prison-Suppressing Emperor on his final journey.

The three imperial artifacts—the Nether Iron Armor, the Death Sky Spear, and the Dark Gold Shield—flew out but were frozen in place by Yan Ming. Only the shattered black battle spear was buried with the Prison Emperor and placed in a coffin made of dark dragon wood.

Yang Xi was summoned, and after a brief discussion, his ancestor led him to the underworld.

As a direct descendant of the supreme ruler, he received everything from the underworld, and several ancient steles from before the myths were all moved to the Heavenly Court.

The three Palace Masters of the Nine Heavens became Yang Xi's subordinates, and after being transformed by dark matter, they quickly switched sides.

The Four Dark Emperors turned away, not looking back once more, and moved on to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

Unlike the imagined balance of the forbidden zone, in Yan Ming's eyes, some things in the forbidden zone are just things he temporarily stores there, so he naturally wouldn't try to extort money like Ye Fan in Shrouding the Heavens.

It doesn't matter whether it's your own thing or something else, whether it's earlier or later.

In the vast universe, there is a dark divine path that is so magnificent that it runs through the nine heavens and ten earths, leading from the underworld to the Big Dipper, without any concealment.

At this moment, everyone was horrified, and all the powerful figures trembled. Even the Undying Empress, who had relinquished her title and was quickly lying dormant in preparation for sealing herself into the future, was stunned. The target of this direction was the Beidou Life Forbidden Zone.

Is that devil really going to sweep through every restricted area one by one and wipe them all out?!

That's impossible. Throughout history, among so many enlightened beings, not a single one has been able to do it. Because if you really push the people in the forbidden zones to the limit, they will strive for ultimate sublimation. At that time, a group of flawless imperial experts will emerge, and even the descent of immortals cannot stop them.

"That little thief, he really dared to do this?" The Empress's fair and beautiful face was filled with disbelief, and she seemed to still smell the strong scent of that person. She was almost in a daze.

However, Yan Ming really came. His true form descended upon the Big Dipper Starfield, arriving on the land where he had risen to power, overlooking the seven forbidden zones of life.

At this moment, without needing anyone else to awaken them, all the forbidden zones except for the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land trembled. The Underworld had just been pacified, and the emperors of the Dark Heavenly Court descended upon the Big Dipper Star Region, immediately triggering a massive earthquake.

"This shouldn't be happening. Within a month, we've already killed six Dark Lords, destroyed the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body, and destroyed the Underworld lineage. If we continue to sweep across with such force, we'll make too many enemies. All the forbidden zones of life will be terrified and unable to tolerate such a threat."

"Too much of a good thing can be bad. If this continues, even if the four emperors of the Heavenly Court stand side by side, it may be in danger. There are even more supreme beings deep in the forbidden zone. It's not something that can be easily eliminated. Even so many great emperors couldn't do it."

Some powerful figures trembled, and even some quasi-emperors in the world changed color, feeling that this would stir up a great storm.

They acknowledged the power of the Four Dark Emperors, but they were still worried about Yan Ming if things continued this way. Even the Supreme Beings were once the strongest beings in the world, capable of reaching the pinnacle of power and ultimately becoming true emperors.
