Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 109 Immortal King's Interception
An avatar is ultimately just an avatar; Xu Yuanming's true body roams the heavens and the sea of ​​stars, traversing countless universes in the blink of an eye.

During this period, he saw many true immortals.

Xu Yuanming sparred with those people one by one, and without exception, the match ended when the opponent had made his move, with the winner determined within five moves.

Gradually, Xu Yuanming gained fame throughout the myriad realms.

A young man in the realm of humanity can easily defeat an ordinary True Immortal.

A supreme immortal deliberately lay in wait, just to fight Xu Yuanming.

The universe was overturned, the stars were reversed, and within a hundred moves, even the most powerful immortals admitted their inferiority and willingly surrendered.

From that moment on, all the heavens were astonished.

How long has it been? There are beings in the human realm who have not yet attained immortality who can kill true immortals at will!

Only the former ruler of the Heavenly Court had ever managed to easily defeat a True Immortal using the realm of humanity.

This matter was spread by the Heavenly Court and is documented in historical records, but many people in the myriad realms still have doubts.

After all, the difference between the human path and the immortal path is so great that they can hardly believe it.

Until Xu Yuanming appeared, the human realm had already gained the strength to rival a quasi-immortal king!
Furthermore, this person's methods are extremely extraordinary; so far, none of those who have sparred with him have been able to discern how this young man attained enlightenment.

However, this was just a friendly spar, not a life-or-death battle. No one knew whether this mysterious young man who suddenly appeared could actually fight a quasi-immortal king.

Finally, the strange race could no longer stand it. In all the myriad realms, Xu Yuanming would wipe out any strange stronghold he encountered, and several strange True Immortals had already fallen at Xu Yuanming's hands.

On that very day, as the river of time flowed by, an invincible aura swept over them, a power that transcended heaven and earth.

king!
A Celestial King has made his move!

A celestial king has been born from a mysterious clan, and they want to nip Xu Yuanming in the bud.

This aura was like a vast ocean; even a tiny particle could collapse a universe. Now, it poured down on Xu Yuanming without holding back.

They feared that Xu Yuanming would succeed and become a powerful figure like the Desolate Emperor, and would then launch a strong attack.

Since Xu Yuanming broke through to the fifth incarnation, the chaotic energy throughout the heavens has become clearly visible. He is heading towards the ruins of the giant at the speed of traversing space. Dawn is just ahead, but darkness has enveloped the earth, threatening to devour all the light. This is a divine law of the Great Dao, capable of slaying gods and seizing souls, annihilating people invisibly.

This kind of calamity is the most terrifying. Xu Yuanming was not careless at all and quickly used all his strength. In just a moment, he streaked across countless stars and dodged the fatal blow.

After the escape, that universe was instantly annihilated, black holes appeared everywhere, and then chaos exploded.

"Buzz!"

Even with another attack, this speed wasn't enough to shake off the Celestial King!
It was a giant hand, seemingly descending from the heavens. All the great laws of the heavens were useless. No matter what kind of attack Xu Yuanming manifested, it was useless. Even Shi Hao's Emperor Sword and Thunder Pool were ineffective.

Before the Celestial King, all other methods are child's play.

It was too fast for Xu Yuanming to avoid. He did not run away, but instead tried his best to meet the attack head-on. With a "poof", he coughed up a mouthful of blood and his body flew out on the spot. He was almost torn to pieces and died in the starry sky.

"Oh? He's still alive? That's interesting."

The cold voice seemed to be natural, born from the existence of all the heavens and myriad worlds. Even Xu Yuanming, who proved his Dao through destiny, was far inferior to a Celestial King in his mastery of the myriad Daos.

Furthermore, the so-called myriad paths of the heavens are utterly useless before the Immortal King; a single strike can shatter them all!

Xu Yuanming's destiny body was severely damaged. A mere casual palm strike shattered his primordial spirit, making it difficult for him to continue fighting. Xu Yuanming was now unable to continue the battle, and even a supreme being could kill him.

The Celestial King's attacks were terrifying, impossible to anticipate, and seemed to be omnipresent.

Xu Yuanming remained unfazed. He used the aftershocks of the attack to fly sideways and dodge the attack at top speed, but it was no use. The laws of the Immortal King seemed to spread outwards. Once activated, everything here would become the opponent's domain. The radiance engulfed the area, leaving Xu Yuanming nowhere to escape.

"puff!"

Xu Yuanming's body exploded, but he used the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique and the Willow God Technique to quickly heal himself. At the same time, he activated the Endless Heavenly Art to accelerate the passage of time, and the body fused together again the moment it was torn apart.

This new life brought him back to his peak.

"It's just like a rat, jumping around everywhere."

The eerie immortal king sneered, treating Xu Yuanming like a toy, merely toying with him without taking him seriously.

To be honest, this was beyond Xu Yuanming's expectations. He thought he would encounter a quasi-immortal king as an opponent, but he never expected that an immortal king would personally take action against him.

The giant hand in the sky reached out again.

Xu Yuanming immediately split into nine true forms, each seemingly equivalent to his original body, and fled in different directions.

"It's useless. Before the Celestial King, everything is just an illusion."

This statement, though arrogant, is not wrong.

These nine forms, comparable to true immortals, were too slow; they were all wiped out by the Immortal King's killing intent in an instant.

Xu Yuanming activated the "Scripture of Destiny," which once again separated into nine true forms, remaining unchanged.

His expression changed. The problem was far beyond his understanding; the Celestial King was far more powerful than he had imagined, and he was completely unable to counter it.

Just as he was exploring the path to the pinnacle of immortality, the Immortal King intervened. Xu Yuanming was about to achieve his goal, but then he encountered such a calamity.

It was devastating; Xu Yuanming was shattered once again, just like this, for an unknown period of time.

Even the Celestial King felt annoyed. He had tried many times but failed to kill this being who had not yet become an immortal, which made him feel ashamed.

If word gets out, he'll be laughed at for the rest of his life.

Xu Yuanming roared, his hands outstretched, and he performed all kinds of supreme techniques. At this moment, all kinds of techniques shone with amazing light. Above his head, a chessboard glowed, as if it contained all the living beings of a great world, and endless light emanated from within it.

This attack was thorough, completely absorbing all the power in the vicinity of the heavens. This attack was completely equivalent to an attack by a Celestial King.

have equal shares!

Xu Yuanming used the combined power of everyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to launch a counterattack. The will of Heaven descended, and a finger was severed.

Blood flowed, each drop piercing through the infinite universe; the so-called Great Dao exploded, destroying countless things.

The four-fingered hand stopped at that moment.

"You little reptile...you've really angered me..."

The eerie immortal king didn't react immediately; he was injured.

It wasn't one of the Celestial Kings in the Heavenly Court, nor one of those flawed Celestial Kings who were slightly inferior; it was a mortal who hadn't yet transcended the realm of humanity!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yuanming used the power of fate to connect all the places he had passed through, and in the next moment, he disappeared from the spot. He rushed in and fled into the distance, the chaotic energy spread, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the Heavenly Will's slash had not yet ended, and the aura of near eternity fell again.

This time, however, the eerie Immortal King was prepared, using the Great Dao to fix it in place and then shatter it.

The myriad realms are vast, and many places are dark, cold, and devoid of any sound.

Xu Yuanming sat cross-legged in a desolate and destroyed world. He dared not use the Flower of Eternity or the Great Dao Talisman, but instead slowly healed his injuries little by little.

He is absorbing the essence of the most primordial world, slowly refining his essence into qi to strengthen himself—something only those who haven't yet cultivated can do.

Xu Yuanming started from the very basics, mainly because his injuries were too severe and dangerous this time, almost resulting in his complete annihilation. Even his multiple supreme healing techniques were useless, and he even had to use the true meaning of time and space to forcibly rewind countless millennia to heal himself.

"As expected of the Celestial King."

The myriad realms and countless worlds are like being in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Each universe is like gazing at the starry sky in childhood, with each star shining brightly.

They all carefully released their radiance, which seeped into Xu Yuanming's pores. Although he was suppressing it, his cultivation level was simply too high, and this little bit of essence was completely useless.

Xu Yuanming's every cell and every drop of blood can be described as a bottomless pit, which even a universe could not fill.

He had to control himself and couldn't stay there for long; the Celestial King's methods were truly terrifying.

When Xu Yuanming felt it was about time, he quickly fled, using the power of fate to connect with heaven and earth, and instantly arrived at another place.

Xu Yuanming sat cross-legged once more, slowly entering a meditative state like a beginner, nurturing his primordial spirit. The gates of his spiritual world were fully open, devouring the vitality within to nourish his physical body and smoothing the cracks in his destiny body.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Xu Yuanming was about to leave, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

He felt like his head was about to explode; the five great secret realms trembled simultaneously, and the two great spiritual worlds nearly collapsed.
Just ahead, Xu Yuanming saw a figure—it was the true form of the Celestial King!
The other party had no intention of teasing him anymore. At this moment, the Immortal King, who stood alone in the heavens, was being led around like a little brat.

However, this still didn't work; the gap between the two was simply too great. A child who knows how to handle a gun can kill an adult.

The moment Xu Yuanming's primordial spirit became unstable, his physical body was also pierced by that sound wave. His blood and flesh seemed to separate from themselves and began to slowly fade away, scattering into the boundless starry sea of ​​the heavens. Then they quickly reassembled and slowly glued together.

He vowed to kill this immortal king. He had never been so terrified in a long time, and he fled around like a stray dog.

Even the people of the Yin-Yang realm at that time could only be forced to trigger the rules to attack, and could not play around with it like a cat toying with a mouse.

"rise!"

Xu Yuanming roared, and the Immortal King's Shroud appeared, forcibly blocking all the attacks.

This is a great battle of escape, and whether Xu Yuanming lives or dies, it will be known throughout the heavens and the myriad worlds.

For such a long time, not even a Celestial King has managed to suppress and kill someone who has reached the pinnacle of humanity. How could this not surprise them?
The great escape has begun again, and Xu Yuanming is going all out. As long as he has time, he can strengthen himself.

Having experienced life and death multiple times, he seems to have found the ultimate path. Given time, he can definitely suppress and kill this Immortal King!

However, this was difficult. Even Shi Hao, who had become a mortal immortal, was unable to completely escape from the hands of the immortal king. If it weren't for the help of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, he would likely have perished much earlier.

Decades later, Xu Yuanming was found by the Celestial King again. He no longer attacked, but instead used the opponent's attacks to escape.

Xu Yuanming was very lucky. He found a celestial herb and a Daoist talisman. Without hesitation, he immediately turned them all into tea and drank it all in one gulp.

This is a crazy addition, completely disregarding its intrinsic value, and is like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

But Xu Yuanming had no other choice but to do this.

The body of destiny, covered in blood and cracks, was nourished and its injuries healed considerably, which gave him an opportunity and time to recover.

For Xu Yuanming, time was life itself, and his repeated use of the power of time and space was constantly consuming his lifespan.

Between life and death, he experienced his sixth rebirth.

Although his strength hadn't increased much, restoring him to full condition was crucial for him. Xu Yuanming had traversed the cosmic sea and made constant escapes, exhausting all the means he could use, including all the secret treasures and forbidden artifacts.

……

……

The Heavenly Court also dispatched celestial kings, who were shocked to learn that Xu Yuanming had been pursued by celestial kings for thousands of years.

The Celestial King who appeared was none other than the Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng.

An unparalleled immortal king.

This is truly a being that stands at the very top.

Immediately after he left, another Supreme Immortal King emerged from the Mysterious Clan.

"Elder Meng, it's been many years since we last met. I hope you've been well."

This person was none other than the supreme immortal king of the strange clan who had nearly killed Shi Fan.

"Step aside."

Meng Tianzheng said calmly.

"Let the younger generation fight it out themselves. Since you, an old man, are going to do it, I, an old man, will naturally have to lend a hand as well," the eerie and supreme man laughed.

Meng Tianzheng was furious.

"You mean, it's reasonable for a Celestial King to attack a Supreme Being, since they're considered peers?"

The people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were like children to him. That place was his homeland. He was overjoyed to learn that a being comparable to Shi Hao had been born there and wanted to meet this young man who had stepped into the mortal world as a seed.

Who would have thought that during this time, the other side would be so shameless as to actually send out a Celestial King!
A strange smile appeared on his face.

"For us, aren't we all juniors if we're not among the giants?"

……

……

Finally, Xu Yuanming's figure vanished, and the Immortal King could no longer be found.

Xu Yuanming's spirit underwent a sixth rebirth, a phoenix rising from the ashes once more. He experienced life and death multiple times, and the nearly ten thousand years of pursuit left him exhausted.

Fortunately, it was all worthwhile. He has already embarked on the path and understands how to proceed on his journey to the pinnacle of immortality.

"Just wait! I'll be back."
