Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 122 Returning to the Immortal Ancient Times
Xu Yuanming's back was almost entirely rotten; this pain was imprinted deep within his primordial spirit and began to spread from that moment on.

He turned around abruptly and realized that it was the same Immortal King who had held the magic mirror before!
Seeing his old friend nearly die, he finally held nothing back, using the Immortal Mirror to create a magical seal, thus enacting the ultimate changes in the world.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to all sorts of forbidden secret techniques.

This wasn't just a desperate attempt to break through; Xu Yuanming also wanted to kill the eerie Immortal King!

"Boom!"

The Emperor's Sun and Moon Cauldron glowed, and a hazy mist flowed from its large opening, its corrosive aura attempting to melt Xu Yuanming.

"Go away!"

Xu Yuanming's brow gleamed slightly as the three swords of destiny merged once more. The chaotic sword light cleaved through everything, causing a shift in time and space, seemingly capable of severing eternity, and pierced a large hole in the Emperor Sun and Moon Cauldron.

The sword energy erupting in the void was almost unstoppable, simulating Xu Yuanming's legendary sword strike that could shatter eternity.

"The sky is about to split open!"

For a moment, I was in a daze; this move was too terrifying, simply impossible to resist.

The sword light fell, striking the eerie Immortal King. Its majestic divine power caused the heavens, the earth, and all the realms to collapse.

next moment.

The light dissipated.

The bodies of the two giants were torn apart, leaving only the remnants of the Great Dao.

The immortal king who initially pursued Xu Yuanming and the immortal king who held the immortal mirror are dead.

Even the primordial spirit was gone.

The supreme immortal king, who was nearly a quasi-immortal emperor, arrived. His gaze was icy, and a faint light flickered deep within his primordial spirit.

"Chase!"

After he finished speaking, that wisp of Quasi-Immortal Emperor's aura became completely unprecedented and surpassed all others in the world.

……

……

Xu Yuanming's light scattered, and he landed in a nearly withered world. The laws governing the world had dissipated, but with the power of fate, he was transported here.

He suddenly realized that this place was once a corner of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but it had been scattered among the heavens after the great battle of the Immortal Ancient Era.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and hurriedly began to heal himself, as his injuries were now too severe.

The sword strike that Xu Yuanming used to sever the ages had exhausted all his strength, leaving him with very poor power and an unstable cultivation level.

It's even possible that they could fall from the forbidden realm of the pinnacle of immortality.

Xu Yuanming felt the new life surging within his body and exhaled deeply.

The first secret realm represents one's true self.

The second secret realm represents one's own vitality.

The third secret realm represents one's own physical body and spirit.

The fourth secret realm represents one's own path.

The fourth secret realm was completed quickly. This realm was quite simple, at least for Xu Yuanming at the moment.

It is very easy for a Celestial King, who is comparable to an unparalleled being, to deduce the realm of the human realm. As long as the direction is established, it will only take a short time to cultivate successfully.

And now.

What is the fifth secret realm?

This is the ultimate realm of humanity. What can possibly be worthy of this realm?
How strong does one need to be in the realm of humanity?
Xu Yuanming did not know this; he was merely making deductions.

Time flies by.

……

……

The myriad realms were in complete chaos, and during this period, the Heavenly Court began to take the initiative to attack, continuously suppressing and killing those in forbidden areas.

The River of Souls was destroyed, and only the Heavenly Emperor Sun and Moon Cauldron, which possessed the light of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, escaped.

Blood and chaos became the dominant theme across all the heavens and myriad realms.

The Heavenly Court and the Mysterious Clan are evenly matched, with roughly equal strength.

Many people also died in Heaven.

I don't know why, but after a while, that person will reappear.

Only the most powerful beings knew that the founder of the Heavenly Court was not dead.

The Desolate Emperor was still conquering the heavens, surrounded by countless supreme beings. Yet, even so, he still chose to divert his attention to revive those who had died.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would not be a match for the strange race.

It's almost time.

Xu Yuanming, far above the heavens, deduced that Xu Yuanming's Great Dao was being perfected and had now become a truly supreme being.

Once one perfects their past self, they can ascend to the pinnacle and become a supreme quasi-immortal emperor.

At that moment, the strangeness of all the heavens and myriad worlds will be wiped away.

Only a supreme-level, mysterious Immortal Emperor could make a move; even supreme beings in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm would be no match for Xu Yuanming.

Whether those strange immortal emperors can break through his defenses remains to be seen.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuanming's eyes hardened. He sensed the barrier of his realm, and he was about to reach the final level of this domain and undergo a sublimation.

Even before he reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, he was no longer afraid of those strange and powerful cultivators who had ascended to the highest level. Once he entered this realm, Xu Yuanming made up his mind to personally visit the plateau and explore its true mysteries.

……

……

Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Jade Emperor has vanished without a trace, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable has disappeared into the Outer Heaven, his fate unknown.

As for the Celestial Deity, he has not manifested for an unknown period of time; it has been a very long time.

People's impressions of him have gradually become blurred, but no one believes that Xu Yuanming will die. They just believe that Xu Yuanming has reached the pinnacle and is about to become an immortal.

The turmoil in all the heavens and myriad realms seemed to have nothing to do with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the last ten thousand years, a celestial being attained enlightenment through immeasurable methods, created the supreme secret law, and ruled over an entire world.

Just then, a young man rose to prominence. He defeated the geniuses of the Holy Body and Hegemon Body lineages one after another while being at the same cultivation level, and then defeated the prodigies of various races.

They fought to the very end in the spiritual realm.

Many ancient celestial beings were no match for this person.

Even the Jade Emperor and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable fought their way to the Heavenly Venerable of Destiny.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he fought a great battle against Xu Yuanming, who was from the same realm, but in the end he was defeated.

Xu Yuanming was no exception in this matter, after all, he was the Chaos Body King Bo.

This incident propelled Wang Bo to the peak of his career, and at the same time, he no longer concealed his physical condition.

The most powerful physique in this era: the Chaos Physique!

However, he died halfway through his journey, at the hands of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

However, Wuliang Tianzun also died many years later.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed across the myriad realms.

Xu Yuanming slowly opened his eyes. The five secret realms inside his body had completely transformed, and the method of using his body as a seed had become part of his system.

At the same time, he also ushered in his seventh rebirth.

Countless phantoms appeared behind Xu Yuanming, and all the phenomena of the heavens and the myriad realms arose.

Illuminating the heavens! This realm, which is extremely advanced on the path of pollen, unfolds in the fifth secret realm that Xu Yuanming has been studying, using the power of all the heavens and myriad worlds to forge myself.

It's like a field, connecting the power of heaven and earth.

But this realm is different; it reflects all the heavens, and through the "self" of all the heavens, it achieves the "self" of this world.

One can transform into many, and many can be transformed back into one.

Finally, the five great secret realms merged into one, becoming the pinnacle of the human realm.

Having entered this realm, Xu Yuanming has already made a model-based prediction of his sixth secret realm, and there is no other Dao that is more omnipotent than destiny.

An attack method that is difficult to defend against and almost impossible to solve.

Moreover, it is not limited to this; there are many other almost incredible evolutionary processes.

Xu Yuanming deliberated repeatedly, and in just a short time, he had traversed tens of thousands of paths.

Finally, a 'heavenly light' shone between his brows, a light that was extremely dazzling.

That is what is called 'immortal'.

The true 'immortal' is not an 'immortal' in terms of realm.

Rather, 'I' was originally an 'immortal'.

The ultimate goal of any living being in the heavens is to become a true immortal, an eternal being, independent of the world.

Xu Yuanming referred to this "immortal" as "feathering".

To become an 'Ascension Immortal'.

This realm is quite remarkable. Xu Yuanming held the small cauldron of the Time Furnace in his hand, contemplating the flaws in his final transformation into the Sixth Secret Realm.

He discovered that his 'past self' had always been the weakest and needed to be improved.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuanming attempted to connect with the power of this world.

All traces of the ancient times in this place will be revealed, and the Time Furnace will be used as an aid in the end.

At this moment, Xu Yuanming was in a daze, and he saw all sorts of scenes.

The ancient cave has returned to its original state.

In that instant, hundreds of bolts of lightning in the cave suddenly looked up, their eyes like lightning, all staring in this direction.

Inside the ancient cave, the air was thick with energy, a mixture of primordial chaos, the primordial energy of all things, and celestial energy, resembling the scene at the beginning of time.

The atmosphere here is extraordinary, with wisps of vital energy permeating the entire space, making it feel like a fairyland.

"Roar……"

A deafening roar erupted, and a lightning spirit several meters long emerged from the horde, its entire body golden, clearly one of the leaders. It howled to the sky, its eyes filled with rage and sorrow. The other lightning spirits followed suit, sobbing, tears streaming from their eyes.

Although they are not humanoid beings, they are showing deep emotions at this moment, immersed in an indescribable grief.

"Woof... Awoof!"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from inside the cave. Xu Yuanming was startled and wondered if he had misheard.

"Wang..."

The sound was like a loud cry, yet it was also mixed with dog barks, making it seem particularly abrupt, coming from deep within the ancient cave.

Xu Yuanming's expression froze, a look of astonishment and confusion flashing in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the cave.

The hundreds of thunder spirits did not stop him; they simply guarded the straw mat silently, seemingly unconcerned about Xu Yuanming's arrival.

"Awooo...Woof!"

The cries of loud sobs mingled with the barking of dogs, the sounds both loud and mournful, as if expressing some unspeakable grief.

Xu Yuanming stared intently into the depths of the ancient cave where chaotic essence was overflowing. He was certain he wasn't mistaken—there really was a dog there, not very big, only about the size of a palm.

It was lying on the ground, burying its face in its hands and crying its heart out, its cries filled with extreme grief.

"Lord Wuzhong, how could you leave me like this... Waaah... I'll never see you again. You were an unparalleled Celestial King, how could you wither away? Will you be able to reappear in the mortal realm after a thousand lifetimes? Awooooo..."

The puppy cried bitterly, tears streaming down its face.

Xu Yuanming recognized it; they had crossed paths two hundred thousand years ago.

In the past, the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Lunhui studied the Great Dao of Time and pondered reincarnation, trying to understand the secrets of the past and present—whether there are reincarnated people or reincarnated events.

Who would have thought that Xu Yuanming would see it again here!

First, Lei Ling carried the corpse on the straw mat, and now they saw the puppy; they had all come to the same destination.

"you……"

The puppy sensed someone approaching, looked up abruptly, its eyes filled with shock and disbelief, "How did you get here?"

It was still crying, without any attempt to hide it, and compared to its wild and untamed appearance a thousand years ago, it seemed to have completely changed into a dog.

"This is where?"

Xu Yuanming asked in a deep voice.

"Waaah..." Upon hearing this, the puppy burst into tears again.

"The Immortal King Wuzhong is dead, he'll never come back... Even this place can't save him, there's no hope left, waaaaah..."

The puppy's cries were heart-wrenching, as if the whole world was collapsing.

This is indeed the place!
"In this world, there are no people who can reincarnate... Perhaps, there are only similar flowers and similar people. I will never see the true soul of the Immortal King of No End again."

The puppy's voice was low and desperate, as if announcing an irreversible end.

Xu Yuanming remained silent, his gaze deep, as if deep in thought.

The chaotic energy still permeated the ancient cave, and the whimpers of Lei Ling intertwined with the cries of the puppy, creating a desolate and mysterious scene.

The puppy's voice was hoarse: "This era is about to end."

Xu Yuanming asked, "How did you know?"

"The alien realm has already attacked. Unless a true quasi-immortal emperor descends upon the world, no one can resolve this."

The puppy cried bitterly.

Xu Yuanming laughed and said, "Open your eyes and take a look again."

The puppy's trembling body returned to normal. It opened its eyes and found that the air in the ancient cave had not changed; it was exactly the same as when it had closed its eyes.

The next moment, it knew.

"How could I have had such a dream? How could Lord Wuzhong possibly be defeated?"

Xu Yuanming remained silent.

Even these Thunder Spirits were completely unaware of this.

The ancient immortals in my memory were indeed destroyed, but that was in the original timeline; things are different now.

The little black dog muttered to itself.

"But why? If we're going to win, why seal me away? Is this a dream, or was it just a dream?"

Xu Yuanming glanced at it and said, "Seeing is believing. Which one do you think is the real world? Why don't you come with me and take a look, to see if this world was destroyed in your dream, or what?"

"Alright!" The little black dog quickly realized after agreeing, "This is a barrier created by Lord Wuzhong. Even a Celestial King would find it difficult to break. You are only at the Supreme Realm, after all..."

"You...you haven't become a Celestial King, have you?"

"No...how is this possible?"

The little black dog stared wide-eyed at the young man in front of it, its face filled with disbelief.

How many years has it been?
It hasn't been long since that banquet at the Purple Bamboo Grove in the South China Sea.
Hundreds of thousands of years?

This is indeed a long time for ordinary practitioners, but too short for supreme practitioners and above.

Those who can become immortals in this time are geniuses among geniuses, and they will surely become immortal kings in the future.

And this Destiny Heaven... Destiny Immortal King actually broke through the Human Path and True Immortal in one go, and arrived at the Immortal King Realm!
