Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 117 Red Dust Fairy

The young man had no choice but to back down, as he couldn't beat the man in front of him.

"This place is quite unusual, but it can't stop you. It just takes some time. Whether it's real or fake, where it comes from, and what its meaning is, you have to explore for yourself. After all... I may not actually exist. It's a lie within the truth, and a truth within the lie."

Xu Yuanming looked at the young man who had already resigned himself to his fate and said, "Don't be so pessimistic."

"No matter what it is, it will be suppressed by fate, there's nothing we can do about it." The young man threw his piece of paper to Xu Yuanming.

He thought a lot while he was speaking, and finally realized that he was really ignorant.

"However, this piece of paper must be related to the heavens."

"Heaven?" Xu Yuanming asked.

The young man nodded: "It might be related to those supreme beings. The three supreme artifacts of the heavens are very magical. I have seen them before. Although they were just phantoms, they still managed to investigate something. It is very likely that the place has dissipated and been sacrificed."

Xu Yuanming said, "They were indeed wiped out."

After a moment of silence, the young man said, "How did you know?"

Xu Yuanming was lost in memories. It was indeed a long time ago, so long that even he himself couldn't believe that he had come to this point.

He held up one finger.

The young man was shocked, but he did not flinch. His eyes revealed determination. He knew he was no match for Xu Yuanming. When he saw the other man raise his hand and point it at him, he had already thought about what would happen next.

……

……

"Ok?"

Xu Yuanming looked at the young man with his eyes tightly closed and felt somewhat helpless.

The young man was very happy.

"I can't believe it, you are actually... no, I am actually a time traveler."

Xu Yuanming smiled lightly.

The young man shook his head again: "You're not like me."

Xu Yuanming asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

The young man clicked his tongue: "You're like a vessel, your emotions are detached, you're not the same as before."

Indeed, this was true; the young man was like a real person, even more so than Xu Yuanming.

The real Xu Yuanming was a solitary traveler who walked on the Great Way, and the only thing that could accompany him was the Great Way itself.

The road leads to heaven, each goes their own way; death is death, life is life.

My entire life has been dedicated to the Dao; it would not be an exaggeration to say that I was born to cultivate the Dao.

"God knows."

"The sky is gone, how could it know?"

Xu Yuanming pointed to his chest.

"The sky is my sky."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head with a sense of relief. Although the young man in front of him couldn't see it, he could see it himself.

The fog here is so thick and heavy that it can completely cover the sky.

But, in the farthest, farthest place.

It was a bright moon.

This has always been the case since ancient times; the bright moon has always hung high in the sky.

It was a very, very big moon, so bright it was almost blinding. Its white light spilled into the mist, calming people's hearts like a refreshing breeze.

"Where is there no moon?" Xu Yuanming murmured to himself.

Where are there no bamboo and cypress trees?

"That's what the young man said jokingly."

……

……

Upon entering the Land of Creation, Fu Ling's expression instantly relaxed.

Their senses returned.

The strange creatures around them all vanished and returned to their original places.

Xu Yuanming reappeared in the street, all the fog dissipated, and his life level instantly increased, only one step away from success.

However, the monsters did not completely retreat.

Because when Xu Yuanming appeared, the runes of destiny in the Land of Creation reached an unprecedented state.

In the blink of an eye, all those strange creatures died.

Fu Ling and his companions were mistaken. These strange creatures were stronger than they had imagined, with the weakest being close to the level of True Immortals, and many having already reached the level of Immortals.

However, they were like ants in front of Xu Yuanming, completely powerless to resist.

Even the most powerful immortals could not achieve this; a mere instantaneous interweaving of laws would completely annihilate an immortal.

Even a Quasi-Immortal King cannot achieve this. Although this realm is very strong and there is a significant gap between it and ordinary True Immortals, it is still only half a step away from the True Immortal realm.

True Immortals have a very high level of life force and are difficult to kill. In the past, Xu Yuanming would have needed some means to completely suppress and kill a True Immortal.

And now, it only took one night for them to disappear and reappear.

He could then use a single thought of fate to kill a cultivator at the True Immortal level.

Immortal King!

Fu Ling, Ling Yu, and Dao Zhen thought to themselves.

"You've broken through?" Fu Ling asked tentatively.

Xu Yuanming slowly extended a finger, and all the strange phenomena in the city instantly vanished, and all the eeriness almost disappeared.

"The Immortal of the Mortal World".

It has been 230,000 years since it came into this world.

Due to the acceleration of time, this body has actually lived for 600,000 years.

Now, Xu Yuanming has truly escaped the ravages of time and attained immortality in the mortal world.

The pinnacle of immortality was right before him; he had merged his three bodies into one.

After opening up a third spiritual world, he directly reached the top level of the Mortal Immortal realm, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds, making him stronger than Qin Hao, who was still fighting a great battle deep in the Land of Creation!
Xu Yuanming's strength was truly beyond measure; the rules of the Creation Land were emerging, tracing back to a great battle millions of years ago.

That ancient history, where a Celestial King once died, is being revisited.
Xu Yuanming gently flipped his palm, and the world seemed as fragile as paper, completely shattered.

This single strike was quite devastating; it effortlessly obliterated the rules of this place.

The three of them were excited upon hearing this.

This is a celestial being in the mortal realm!
Is it really that simple?

However, seeing the other party's methods, they had no choice but to believe it.

Because this is something that only a powerful being with the strength of a Celestial King can do.

Xu Yuanming possessed top-tier quasi-immortal king combat power even before becoming a Red Dust Immortal. How strong must he be now that he's a Red Dust Immortal?

Peerless Immortal King!

They had this thought in mind and made bold predictions.

Once you reach the Immortal King realm, each minor level is almost equivalent to a major realm.

They were incredibly bold to drop three realms directly to the Peerless Immortal King level.

Xu Yuanming wanted to investigate the truth of this place.

He no longer concealed it; the great path of destiny had all converged, becoming an ancient river that flowed from the southwest toward the horizon.

The so-called rules of giants are child's play to him now.

"Who is it? This..."

A true immortal peered over, and in an instant, the person turned into a corpse.

A king!

A Celestial King swaggered through the ruins, making no attempt to conceal his presence.

Moreover, he came from the Land of Creation. Those who had previously besieged Xu Yuanming remained silent for a long time upon seeing this familiar Great Dao.

However, they still dismissed this unrealistic idea.

Just as Xu Yuanming set off, an eye opened on the blood-red horizon.

The blood flowed onto the ground, incredibly alluring; this was the scene of his first visit here.

Two true immortals died in this way.

Xu Yuanming could only retreat back then, but now he no longer needs to. With the strength of a supreme Immortal King, he can see the origin of everything.

There was a tycoon who died with his eyes wide open, and even after millions of years, his resentment has not dissipated. And that eye is the resentment of his past.

This resentment is so strong that even cultivators at the quasi-immortal king level would keep their distance and dare not confront it directly.

However, this means nothing to Xu Yuanming today.

He merely extended a finger, and those blood-red pupils, comparable to those of a flawed immortal king, began to dissolve as if by water.

"The giants... cannot be insulted!"

That eye, carrying the true spirit of a former giant, merely extended a finger upon seeing a being who had not yet entered the realm of Immortal Kings, showing utter disdain.

A cold voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

boom!
Cover the sky with a snap of your fingers!

The blood-red scene on the horizon began to dissipate. This eye, which had claimed countless lives over millions of years, proved utterly vulnerable, vanishing into nothingness in an instant.

Xu Yuanming did not linger; it was merely the unwillingness of a former giant to accept the situation, and he did not care about such things at all.

Xu Yuanming wanted to extract the last bit of value from this place before leaving.

The Mysterious Immortal King!

This was his target; Xu Yuanming still remembered the grudge from the pursuit back then.

The stars danced in the sky, and the other shore seemed to be right before our eyes. Layers of divine light began to intertwine, and the boundless Great Dao was as fragile as dust, vanishing without a trace with just a slight breeze.

Just like today, Xu Yuanming is truly invincible.

In all the myriad realms, he is already among the top beings below the strongest group.

How many supreme beings and giants are there in total?
The myriad realms are so vast, what does it matter if someone's realm is higher than his?

Even if Xu Yuanming was no match for him, he could still escape.

In just a moment, the sky above the ruins was completely enveloped by the river of fate.

As for where Xu Yuanming himself is, no one can find out anymore.

An aura comparable to that of an unparalleled immortal king reigned supreme over the world, causing all living beings to want to flee.

Do not!
No one could stop him, and there was no chance of escape. In the blink of an eye, all the strange things began to decay.

This is the true meaning of spacetime, involving multiple dimensional jumps.

Xu Yuanming's understanding of this Great Dao is now second only to that of the Immortal King Wuzhong.

As the heavens collapsed, every step seemed to resonate in people's hearts.

tread!
tread!
tread!
Dead, all dead.

All those who had previously besieged Xu Yuanming are dead.

They themselves didn't know why they died.

They were dead beyond dead, even with talismans.

Let alone them, even the immortal kings who created the talismans could be suppressed and killed by Xu Yuanming in front of him, let alone just an insignificant talisman.

The rules within the ruins are becoming increasingly fierce, a provocation unlike anything seen in millions of years.

For such a long time, no one has ever dared to so brazenly ignore everything here.

Over the years, the shadowy figure of the giant has appeared and disappeared, seemingly poised to manifest in the world at any moment.

"Little Doyle."

Xu Yuanming simply waved his hand, and all those great Daos were sucked into the gourd at his waist.

As his strength increased, not only he himself, but his spiritual treasures also became more terrifying. Although he had not yet truly reached the life level of a Celestial King, his spiritual treasures had already entered the realm of Celestial King artifacts.

clack clack...

The sky completely disappeared.

Creation, reincarnation, soul.

This is the Great Prison where three giants who died in the past once stood.

Now they've all been trampled underfoot by Xu Yuanming.

Even if he were to come back to life, Xu Yuanming would still rise up and attack him, let alone now.

……

……

"Someone has become a Celestial King?"

Deep within the Land of Creation, Qin Hao fought a great battle with a Celestial King for several days.

Their strengths are evenly matched, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Qin Hao raised an eyebrow the moment he sensed it; this aura was stronger than his own.

who is it?

It's almost impossible that someone could become so peerless so soon after entering the realm of Immortal King.

Seeing this, the Celestial King of the Land of Creation fought with increasing ferocity.

"It seems this battle is about to end. When that time comes, I will take your head and show it to the current Heavenly Emperor how his uncle's head was severed!"

Qin Hao snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and the Heavenly Reincarnation Technique manifested.

This is a precious technique he obtained from his elder brother, which he has gradually evolved into his own.

"Heh... I wonder how that person would react if they found out their own brother was dead?"

The scythe exuded an aura of death, the spirit of ghosts enveloped the heavens and earth, and destruction permeated the entire land of creation.

This is a Celestial King who was brought back to life by the power of creation. After living a lifetime, his strength was considerable, and he was not far from becoming an unparalleled Celestial King.

Of course, Qin Hao was no pushover either. Although he had only recently entered the realm of ordinary Immortal King, his strength was considerable. Given time, he could drag the battle out until the very end and kill him.

Those who have reached this stage are rarely mediocre, so who would admit that anyone is less capable?

Qin Hao exhaled a deep breath, carefully sensing his body, feeling the blood boiling in his bones.

"war!"

The Death Immortal King's heart skipped a beat; the aura that suddenly arose startled him.

This is a suppression based on his very nature and bloodline, which has pushed him to the extreme.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the most powerful beings in the entire universe would be terrified by this invincible bloodline.

This is simply because this bloodline originated from Shi Hao's filial piety.

With this bloodline, becoming a Celestial King is just the beginning.

At this moment, two more Celestial Kings opened their pupils.

One of them has already reached the peerless realm!

"I really didn't expect that you all would actually lay in ambush here."

Qin Hao said in a cold voice.

He had no intention of backing down, facing three Immortal Kings alone, his aura was in no way inferior, just like a god of war.

The three Celestial Kings before them were the very same Celestial Kings who had been casually killed by Shi Yi in that great battle millions of years ago.

But now, they have resurfaced, incorporating the rules of this place.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. If you lose, you die. And if you die, you die. No matter how much you say, it's meaningless. You're just a dead man."

The peerless immortal king made the first move, and a huge axe appeared in the sky. At the very peak of the Great Dao, starlight twinkled, and endless chaos immediately receded.

Create the world!
Just as the axe fell, a dazzling sword aura tore through the sky in the distance, slashing towards this place.
