Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 123 Who Rules the Vast Land?
Xu Yuanming smiled faintly.

The next moment, the barrier seal of the Immortal King Wuzhong broke, and an ancient river, unchanged since time immemorial, stretched straight from north to south, breaking through the sky, shattering the firmament, and tearing apart the heavens.

The puppy stood behind Xu Yuanming, dumbfounded. How could a Celestial King-level evolver possibly possess such power?

Such an aura was something that even the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and the Endless Immortal King had never felt before, and it should be noted that they were giants among the Immortal Kings.

And this cultivator who has been in the realm of humanity for hundreds of thousands of years has actually reached this point?
Having disappeared for so long, what changes have occurred in this world? Where did he go, what opportunities did he obtain, and will he truly be able to break through to the King Realm in the future?

……

……

Chaos reigned, corpses littered the ground, blood and bones mingled in the soil, and everywhere, living beings wailed in agony.

A golden spear pierced through the heavens and earth, breaking through the dawn, flashing with countless bolts of lightning, and crushing all the laws of the Dao in this place.

Roar!
This is a true dragon at the Immortal King level. At this moment, it is being besieged by several Immortal Kings. Its physical body, comparable to that of a giant, is extremely powerful. In the past, it fought a great battle against the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan who had become friends with Xu Yuanming in the Purple Bamboo Forest. It narrowly lost and earned the title of 'Second Best in the World'!
In fact, its combat power is indeed invincible. Even when multiple Celestial Kings besieged it, they had no way to deal with it.

"At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme over the world; with Anlan here, there is heaven!"

An immortal king's pupils shone brightly. He held a spear, like a war god. The blood of a true dragon spurted from the spearhead, making him truly invincible.

The second most powerful roar in the world made a final struggle, unleashing the pure True Dragon Treasure Technique within this body, its fist imprint piercing through heaven and earth.

"not good!"

An Lan was shocked and quickly retreated.

Yu Tuo, who was standing beside him, immediately made his move, and immortal light descended from the heavens.

The second-best-looking creature in the world, with its crimson eyes, shifted its target without flinching. Its golden body unleashed boundless power, tearing the sky apart with a single claw.

The most terrifying creatures are those on their deathbeds, no longer caring about their own lives, relying entirely on their bloodthirsty instincts.

puff!
An immortal king with a sinister expression struck first, wielding his immortal sword and slashing down.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The Immortal King's Sword broke, smashed to pieces by the desperate strike of the Second Best in the World.

An Lan and Yu Tuo quickly intervened and managed to block the attack with great difficulty.

The three Immortal Kings besieged the second-ranked immortal in the world, and one of them was almost killed in the process.

An Lan sighed, "It's a pity you were unwilling to surrender, otherwise you would have been destined to become a giant village on par with Wu Shang in the future. What a pity!"

They all knew that although this attack was terrifying, the second-best in the world had reached its limit, and his primordial spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Another immortal king couldn't wait any longer. He held a long spear and thrust it straight at the second-best primordial spirit in the world.

He had just truly felt the breath of death.

Just then, sword energy rose up on the horizon.

A celestial sword descended from beyond the heavens, its eternal power irresistible. It pierced the sky, belonging neither to the past nor to the future, existing only in this very world.

From the very origin of dimensions, all laws are swept away, and they come straight here.

Divine light flashed and spread in everyone's hearts.

All the living beings around were momentarily stunned.

They seemed to see a towering figure, standing alone at the pinnacle of the Great Way, traversing the river of destiny, incomparable to anyone else.

As the light dimmed, the Immortal King, wielding a golden spear, stared wide-eyed; a trail of blood ran down his neck.

As An Lan and Yu Tuo locked eyes, the head was severed, and the Immortal King's blood dripped down.

Blood rained down from the sky, and beings at the Immortal King level were forever silenced, never to return. Heaven and earth were moved and deeply grieved.

Before the rain even hit the ground, a clear, cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"If I do not agree, why surrender first?"

After he finished speaking, all the strange phenomena disappeared.

A sword coming from the west, flying immortals from the sky.

Beyond the heavens, a young man arrives riding the river of destiny, surrounded by three unparalleled immortal swords, seemingly belonging to a different era.

Apart from that, there were no unusual phenomena. In the past, this would have been a grand spectacle, but now, the Ten Fiends could no longer measure up against him.

The so-called extraordinary phenomena are just icing on the cake; he is simply himself and no longer needs any embellishment.

"Who are you?"

An Lan held the Crimson Peak Spear in one hand and the Immortal Shield in the other, looking up at the figure on the horizon and finding it extremely dazzling.

What level of evolutionary being is this?
Even a giant couldn't possibly kill a peerless immortal king with just a casual sword strike, right?
"destiny?"

Yu Tuo gasped, muttering to himself in disbelief, "Could there really be such a thing as fate in this world?"

An Lan angrily asked, "Who exactly are you? The Six Paths of Reincarnation? Wu Zhong? Or that willow tree? Who broke through the giant's domain?"

As the great wave receded, the strange phenomena surrounding Xu Yuanming dissipated. His eyes remained expressionless, and he said nothing, only slightly raising his right hand.

Suddenly, the sword light flashed again.

……

……

"That...that's true? Anlan, Yutuo...they're all dead? Just one sword..."

The puppy's body trembled. Even after half a day, it couldn't believe that the Immortal King who had killed countless people in their realm over the years was dead.
Xu Yuanming remained calm, completely disregarding the three Celestial Kings.

All the alien creatures in the vicinity vanished. The sword light was irresistible; it originated from the very depths of their hearts.

The second-best in the world was already in a daze. He had seen all of Xu Yuanming's actions, but he had gone mad. His primordial spirit was almost torn apart, and he had lost all his intelligence. At this moment, he directly attacked Xu Yuanming.

"Small……"

The puppy was about to remind Xu Yuanming.

Then, a light flickered in the sky, and the young man pointed a finger, sealing his primordial spirit into the forest, where it was temporarily and eternally extinguished.

Seeing this, the puppy breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to itself, "As expected, this level of strength is already half a step away from the Immortal King level. The beings in the Supreme Domain are all monsters. Even the second strongest member of the True Dragon Clan, who has a body comparable to a giant, couldn't even withstand a single finger..."

Its earlier warning wasn't that Xu Yuanming was in danger, but rather that he wasn't an enemy and shouldn't be killed.

Xu Yuanming looked at the true dragon before him and said calmly, "You still have your use. In the next era, you will usher in your greatest opportunity."

The puppy shook its head. It didn't understand what Xu Yuanming meant by the next era, or the greatest era, but it didn't ask any further questions.

Beings at the Immortal King level can glimpse a corner of the future, let alone beings like Xu Yuanming who are already halfway to leaving the Immortal King level.

The existence of such supermodels is unfathomable; no one knows just how powerful they are.

The puppy asked, "Where are we going next?"

"Another land".

Xu Yuanming glanced around, passing through the Imperial Pass and crossing the Chaos, his gaze landing on an ancient battlefield. The battle there was far more intense than here.

Several Celestial Kings are besieging the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan.

He was sincerely grateful to the immortal king who had shown goodwill to Xu Yuanming when Xu Yuanming was still in the realm of humanity.

Especially during the ensuing discussion, the other party did not consider Xu Yuanming's level of understanding to be low, and offered all his assistance.

In discussions of the Dao, it is impossible not to have heated arguments; several celestial kings were unfriendly to Xu Yuanming.

At that time, Xu Yuanming was nothing more than an ant in their eyes. How could he be qualified to be with them?
And why did he dare to discuss the Dao with them? He repeatedly made things difficult for Xu Yuanming, deliberately using the understanding of a Celestial King to suppress him.

The most classic approach is to let the real skills be revealed, and we'll stop when we've made our move.

All of these were stopped by the True Dragon Immortal King, who even turned against him on the spot and severely injured one of the Immortal Kings.

The True Dragon Clan has always had a bad reputation; they are known for their irritability and never consider the wishes of others.

In addition, the True Dragon Immortal King's strength was terrifying, and even the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Wuzhong were unwilling to fight him.

At that time, Xu Yuanming was highly regarded and people were willing to befriend him.

Xu Yuanming kept this in mind all along. Now that it has been besieged, how can he not repay the kindness Xu Yuanming showed him?

“I…I have my own things to do, so we part ways here.”

"That's what the puppy said."

Xu Yuanming nodded and left a wisp of Destiny Sword Qi in his body, just in case.

……

……

The border between the alien realm and the ancient immortal realm.

There were no other living beings in the vicinity.

Multiple Celestial Kings launched a siege, and there was even a powerful figure among them!

The True Dragon Immortal King had already transformed into his original form, his body covered in wounds, and his primordial spirit was nearly severed.

This was an unnamed giant, but his strength was extremely terrifying. He was seriously injured in many battles in the Immortal Ancient Era and eventually died without surviving this era.

This great battle can be said to have truly determined one of the victories and defeats in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

As one of the most powerful beings in the Immortal Ancient Era, he truly deserves the reputation of being the leader of the Ten Fiends of this generation; ordinary Immortal Kings would not be his match at all.

Opposite them, the three Immortal Kings were also seriously injured.

"True Dragon, you are doomed today! You have slain many immortal kings and countless powerful figures of my realm. Today, I offer your blood as a sacrifice to the heavens, and I will destroy this world with your blood!"

The giant charged at the forefront, its chest bearing a ferocious claw mark; even a giant's body could not withstand the dragon claws of the True Dragon Immortal King.

He was already injured in the previous battle, and now he was considering retreating. After killing the True Dragon Immortal King, he wanted to leave this place.

Otherwise, I might really have perished here!

Roar!
The True Dragon Immortal King's claws are the hardest weapons in the world; so-called immortal gold, chaos stones, world stones... these are utterly insignificant in front of his body.

"Attack together! I refuse to believe he can really kill us!" An immortal king stood at the back, his battle flag landing on the ground as he roared at his retreating comrades.

They were already terrified. This top expert from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was truly terrifying. In a one-on-one fight, apart from those ancient ancestors, who could rival him?
The other Immortal Kings glanced at them coldly without saying a word. None of them were willing to be the first to step forward, lest they become the target of the True Dragon Immortal King.

Based on the strength the opponent is currently displaying, unless it is a Celestial King at the giant level, being hit by that grab in the past would undoubtedly mean certain death.

Roar!
As the True Dragon Immortal King's tail fell, the starry river shone brightly, the heavens and earth spun, and the infinite Dao shone brilliantly, all of which shattered into fragments in an instant.

"It's about to break into the giants!"

The giant from the other realm then noticed the True Dragon Immortal King's condition and coldly muttered to himself, "If I let you break through in this state, what am I worth?"

If the True Dragon Immortal King were in this predicament, he would surely die; there was no way he could survive.

Unless another Celestial King with combat power comparable to a giant appears in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, no one can save the True Dragon Celestial King.

Even if we save them, what then?
The entire world has been invaded, and many territories are in turmoil. What good is it to survive?

Furthermore, the Celestial King has already betrayed us. At this critical juncture of life and death, everything has changed, and if we are not careful, a traitor may come to kill us.

Faced with this situation, the True Dragon Immortal King had no choice but to forcefully break through the barrier and become a giant. In this way, it could possess combat power comparable to an unparalleled being and turn the tide of the battle.

This can delay the start of the great war. Liu Shen, Liu Dao Lun Hui, and Wu Zhong are already on their way, and they may become supreme immortal kings at any time.

If that's the case, even those supreme beings from other realms in the Boundary Sea would have a very difficult time returning.

How could something like this snowballing happen?
It's all just futile imagination!

"kill!"

The immortal giant roared, and countless worlds appeared around him, with waves of heat rising up as if they were flames from hell that could burn everything in the world.

Even the True Dragon Immortal King had broken through his cultivation barrier and was powerless to stop it, so he could only endure the blow.

Only under such circumstances did the other immortal kings dare to make a move.

All sorts of amazing techniques fell upon it.

At this moment, clusters of qi and blood arrived from the heavens and the earth.

"It's futile! What good are sacrificing countless supreme beings and true immortals? Anyone who doesn't reach the Immortal King level is just an ant!"

The alien giants realized that the True Dragon Clan within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was nearly wiped out. The last remaining beings of this already rare race had all become nourishment and burrowed into the True Dragon Immortal King's body.

The True Dragon Immortal King roared, and one of its tails suddenly fell down, its roar echoing through the heavens, shattering worlds into fragments.

"what!"

An immortal king had most of his body swept away. Already severely injured, he could no longer withstand the blow, and the light of his primordial spirit dimmed.

not good!

The other Immortal Kings quickly took action, not expecting that the True Dragon Immortal King would launch a counterattack at the critical moment of their deaths.

Ignoring the attacks, the True Dragon Immortal King flew straight towards the target, tearing the Immortal King's primordial spirit in two with its sharp claws.

Roar!
The dragon's roar echoed for a long time.

This sound chilled everyone to the bone; the bodies of the immortal kings trembled, and even the alien giants felt powerless.

The five-person encirclement and suppression failed, and one of the immortal kings was even killed by the True Dragon Immortal King!
However, the True Dragon Immortal King's body was also shrinking, and his once majestic eyes had lost their light.

It was exhausted, its blood was all drawn, and the dragon had fought in the wilderness, but it could no longer fight.

It truly deserves the name of a dragon.

"Who controls the rise and fall of the vast earth?"
