Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 121 Past Cause and Effect
The secret arts of destiny that Xu Yuanming cultivated are vast; even a Celestial King could not comprehend them in millions of years, let alone a collection like that of Xu Yuanming.

His body was like the sun, his divine light spreading everywhere. He suppressed everything in this world, and he was invincible!

The Myriad Shadows Immortal King was trying to avoid Xu Yuanming's sharp edge. Without the Time Furnace, he was no match for Xu Yuanming, who had used his trump card. The outcome would be decided in a short time, but he couldn't do that anymore.

Above the clouds, the light shines brightly.

One after another, colossal figures sat cross-legged, seated atop the ninth heaven!
Immortal King!

There are giants among them! Not just one, but one after another.

They had even touched upon the supreme realm, and their immortal king bodies radiated boundless pressure.

The Myriad Shadows Immortal King roared to the sky, forcing him to fight back. He had no choice but to fight Xu Yuanming to the bitter end and contend with him.

"when!"

Ultimately, Xu Yuanming forcibly severed the connection between the Time Furnace and the Myriad Shadows Immortal King, separating their soul imprints.

This attack shattered the body of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King, leaving him coughing up blood and his primordial spirit nearly collapsing.

Now, all those strange immortal kings are on their way. Although he was prepared, Xu Yuanming cannot be careless in the slightest. He must kill this person in a short time and also kill the strange immortal king who attacked him earlier.

boom!
With the activation of the Life-Destiny Technique, Xu Yuanming's combat power reached its peak. This strike was the culmination of his life's learning, with all three bodies exerting their full strength.

"what……"

The Immortal King of Myriad Shadows roared as he tried to block Xu Yuanming's unparalleled fist strike. He could only take out his weapon, but it was shattered in an instant and was about to hit him.

Now that things have come to this, it has revealed its true form, a ferocious creature, or rather, something that can no longer be called a creature. It is extremely strange, like a substance that has been gradually fused and mixed together.

At the same time, each of its five claws held a powerful magical artifact, and it unleashed its strongest divine power to blast Xu Yuanming and fight him to the death.

The River of Souls was turned upside down, and its surrounding branches collapsed, scattering into endless chaos.

Xu Yuanming was being eroded by a strange power, and his five secret realms were glowing.

With a single, overwhelming punch, the Great Dao collapsed, and time itself was suppressed.
This kind of last-ditch counterattack is the most terrifying. When facing death, no one can be calm and collected. Even those with overwhelming strength cannot let their guard down.

"kill!"

Xu Yuanming's entire body was radiating the light of destiny. He was injured; he had been struck by this being at the Giant Realm.

He pierced through the five hands of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King with a single finger, then clenched his fist and unleashed a devastating attack.

when!
One after another, the five weapons of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King shattered. Without any pause, Xu Yuanming threw another punch at the Myriad Shadows Immortal King.

The Myriad Shadows Immortal King gave a bitter smile, activating all his connections and transforming them into a black hole—his last resort.

"Little Doyle!"

Xu Yuanming controlled the three swords of destiny, fixing the surrounding anchor points.

This was Xu Yuanming's method of destiny. This attack was extremely terrifying, as if a supreme immortal emperor had made a move, attempting to suppress and kill the Myriad Shadow Immortal King at points in the past and future.

Brush brush!
Several hideous holes appeared on the body of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King.

puff!
Xu Yuanming's true form followed, wielding the Sword of Destiny directly at the center of the black hole, abruptly halting it.

Clang!
Chaos vanished, and the future Immortal King of Myriad Shadows completely disappeared.

In the end, everything came to a close. The body of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King was covered with sword marks, and all the Great Daos were shattered. However, his primordial spirit was indestructible and could not be killed for the time being.

"receive!"

Xu Yuanming gave a soft shout and took it away from the gourd at his waist.

He grasped that body, and in the next moment, the power of destiny intertwined, transforming all the Dao Fruits of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King into his own, including that trace of the supreme residual charm.

"That's all."

At this point, Xu Yuanming wanted to leave. If he accumulated more powerful figures and influential voices, it would be extremely difficult to break through the encirclement and suppression.

The combined attack of three Celestial Kings a while ago nearly cost him his life, let alone these even more bizarre Celestial Kings now.

"How dare you, you brat?"

Just then, the Immortal Kings of the Soul River rushed over and made their move across the vast expanse of the Soul River. A huge hand reached out and patted Xu Yuanming on the back.

Those eerie immortal kings from the River of Souls have arrived!

Xu Yuanming turned around, looking down at the various powerful figures with disdain as he gazed at the people who had arrived.

There were five giants in total, and at the farthest point, an unparalleled immortal king was on his way.

Clang!
The Immortal King closest to Xu Yuanming made the first move; this was an Immortal King who had just entered the Giant realm.

With a clang, Xu Yuanming casually struck, severing his hand.

Suddenly, he chose to turn around.

"It is you!"

Boom!

With these words, Xu Yuanming charged directly at the man once again.

Then two large hands reached out.

"Nothing more than that!"

With a soft shout, Xu Yuanming summoned the Sword of Destiny, which fixed a hand within the River of Souls.

The other was in a very pitiful state; not only were its hands damaged, but its entire body was covered in scales and blood.

At the same time, Xu Yuanming clenched his fist and attacked the strange immortal king who had made the first move.

The Celestial Kings who attacked on the road were completely helpless; no matter what methods they used, Xu Yuanming could neutralize them.

Moreover, they are all the optimal choices; in this realm, there is no such thing as luck.

Another persistent attacker made multiple attempts to annihilate Xu Yuanming's primordial spirit. Xu Yuanming responded directly, unleashing three swords of destiny simultaneously, piercing the attacker's body.

This was only a brief clash, yet several industry giants have already been injured.

Xu Yuanming really wanted to stay and wreak havoc, but he couldn't stay. This was the River of Souls, and even the strange Immortal Kings had been alerted. If he delayed any longer, he would be hunted down by the kings.

If it were merely a Celestial King or a giant, that would be one thing, but he worried that a supreme being might come wielding an Imperial Weapon.

He is indeed very strong. If it weren't for that terrifying existence, Xu Yuanming could have single-handedly wiped out the Soul River.

"kill!"

The one who made the first move was a newly minted giant, and his momentum was at its peak.

"You actually dare to come back? Do you really think we're a place you can just come and go as you please?!"

The Immortal King giant, who had been blasted apart by Xu Yuanming's three Swords of Destiny, roared. He thought he had been careless just now, otherwise how could he have been blasted apart by someone of the same realm in just a few moves?
Boom!

Xu Yuanming held the Sword of Destiny in both hands. As the sword light rose, it swept across the battlefield, unleashing endless secret techniques accompanied by lightning, laws, and the fire of the vast sky... The sword light contained everything, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Dangdang Dangdang!
It wasn't just that many Immortal King artifacts were hit; Xu Yuanming's swordplay clashed with that of several powerful figures.

In an instant, Xu Yuanming's heart trembled. Many of these strange immortal kings had gone extremely far, and one of them was even close to becoming an unparalleled being.

This person's strength is not much different from that of the Myriad Shadows Immortal King.

Xu Yuanming was exceptionally powerful. If it were an ordinary giant, he would have been killed on the spot. He was incomparably strong. Even when surrounded by so many people, he still wanted to kill the strange Immortal King who had not yet entered the Immortal Realm and was chasing him.

boom!
At this moment, a palm-sized celestial mirror appeared, and in the blink of an eye, light scattered, and the two sides seemed to flip like the universe itself.

With a clang, Xu Yuanming flicked his finger, and the Sword of Destiny in his hand shattered it. Suddenly, the vast world rose up, breaking through one layer of the universe, revealing an even more expansive universe.

The radiance of the Great Dao poured forth, and the power to create heaven and earth exploded before Xu Yuanming, causing the universe to collapse.

The mist enveloping Xu Yuanming's body dissipated, revealing his true form.

"Ok?"

The strange immortal king who made the first move stared at him, utterly astonished.

"How can it be?!"

This is incredible.

Just now, Xu Yuanming intentionally concealed the secrets of heaven. If the truth were to be deduced by multiple people, and if multiple mysterious and supreme beings were to take action, it would put him in a very passive position.

"How could it be him!?"

"Who?"

The other strange immortal kings were puzzled, but this young man, who had just stepped into the realm of giants, was shocked by this almost supreme youth.

"He...he is that person!" The eerie immortal king's lips trembled.
Everyone knew that the person he was talking about was unbelievable.

"How is this possible? Two hundred thousand years to go from a supreme being to a giant? And even suppress and kill Wan Ying..."

The giant holding the magic mirror was greatly alarmed.

Logically speaking, in this field, no one is much weaker than anyone else, but there are always exceptions.

The Myriad Shadows Immortal King is just like that. As a manifestation of supreme matter, his combat power is extraordinary and terrifying. Although he is now suppressed by Xu Yuanming, his primordial spirit is still strong, and a faint aura is still emanating from him, conveying information for these strange immortal kings.

"Humph!"

Xu Yuanming said coldly, merging the three Swords of Destiny into one, no longer keeping them, but directly splitting their primordial spirit.

Having suffered such damage, and with his physical body being devoured, any other giant would have died long ago. However, as a being formed from supreme matter, he possessed characteristics far exceeding those of ordinary people, and his vitality remained.

The eerie Immortal King roared, and he was the first to strike. This was often ridiculed, and he had been mocked by the people of Heaven for many years.

Even so, a mysterious and supreme being perished!

That supreme immortal king was even close to becoming a quasi-immortal emperor, but he still perished, defeated by Meng Tianzheng, the "Grand Elder" of the Heavenly Court.

He inherited everything from the other party, refined the light of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and will surely become an unparalleled existence within a million years.

Otherwise, how could they have broken into the realm of giants in less than ten thousand years?
Now, he has led the kings on a hunt, acting with utter madness, and we must kill him on the spot.

"kill!"

Xu Yuanming's heart tightened as he saw the Supreme Immortal King approaching from behind. He walked and stopped, constantly turning around to fight back, eager to kill that strange Immortal King again.

However, these people are all too strong, all giants. If it were a one-on-one fight, Xu Yuanming could kill them within ten moves. But now they have joined forces to kill him, cooperating with each other to give him no chance.

This was an earth-shattering battle, alarming almost all the Immortal King level evolvers in the Soul River.

Boom!

At this moment, a small cauldron appeared, coming from beyond the sky, carrying supreme pressure and an extremely terrifying aura. Chaos exploded, and it flew from afar to suppress and kill Xu Yuanming.

Without a doubt, this is an unparalleled being among the Celestial Kings!
when!
Xu Yuanming clashed head-on with it, his punch striking the cauldron with the Seal of Destiny, causing it to shake and spin away. Only a slight crack appeared, but the oppressive aura remained undiminished and continued to revive.
The Emperor’s Sun and Moon Cauldron!
Xu Yuanming had heard of him before; he was a giant of a great realm in the past who once roamed the boundary sea and fled far away at the end of the last era.

This person is incredibly mysterious, rarely makes a move, and is renowned throughout the myriad realms.

It is said that the cauldron swallows all things, and the sun and moon are hidden in its heart.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually degenerated and became a powerful figure in the Soul River.

In addition, attacks from various powerful figures came one after another.

Another great war has broken out.

The River of Souls collapsed in countless places, and even the branching streams that were difficult for a Celestial King to penetrate were forcibly reversed.

Xu Yuanming was in a very bad mood; some creatures were indeed terrifyingly strong.

However, the creatures on the other side of the Soul River were not having an easy time either. A strange immortal king was brutally beaten to death by him. Although Xu Yuanming suffered several blows and was injured, he still managed to terrify the strange immortal king.

They were hunting!

Multiple powerful figures, and even a supreme being, were attacking from afar, yet even so, one person managed to break through and was not stopped.

The onlookers in the Soul River were terrified, including the giants themselves. Could they really let this giant of destiny escape alive?

boom!
At this moment, sacrifices were held in many places within the River of Souls, intending to use the Great Dao imprints obtained over many years from all the heavens and myriad worlds to suppress and kill Xu Yuanming here.

Xu Yuanming is now bloodthirsty. He bathes in the blood of his enemies and uses various healing techniques combined with the principles of time and space and destiny to quickly heal himself. Even so, he still has many wounds on his body.

All sorts of attacks were rained down on Xu Yuanming.

Of course, the enemies were also in a bad way. One of the giants was banished and his body was forcibly separated by the three Fates in a short time. If it weren't for the Immortal King who risked his life to save him, he would have been in dire straits.

They probably would have died on the spot long ago.

Time reversed, the Great Dao collapsed, and this battle was extremely fierce, with most of the Soul River turning to ashes.

Xu Yuanming roared, his three bodies merging into one, using all his strength to forcefully draw out the power of destiny from his hands.

He grabbed a main branch of the Soul River and pulled hard, causing the Soul River to flow backward, with most of the diversion falling into Xu Yuanming's gourd.

"presumptuous!"

The supreme immortal king was furious, and Xu Yuanming's actions directly affected the foundation of the Soul River.

The other strange immortal kings also took action, not wanting Xu Yuanming to succeed.

click!
The weapon of the immortal king who was chasing Xu Yuanming broke down; he had blasted it apart!
Xu Yuanming pressed his advantage, and all sorts of supreme divine skills manifested.

Suddenly, a large seal crashed down from afar at incredible speed, shattering the river of time, and landed directly on Xu Yuanming's back, leaving him no chance to dodge.

There were at least a dozen Immortal Kings participating in the encirclement and suppression in this battle! The sky was filled with rules and restrictions, and the Great Dao rules were everywhere, making it impossible to avoid.

Xu Yuanming endured it all, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
