Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 139 Journey Through Time and Space
The era of imperial decline.

A beam of light illuminates the past and present, shattering the long river of history. The boundless Dao swallows this world, and in the end, it all converges on one person.

He was a young man dressed in white, spotless, stepping through time, bowing to the long river of time.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I have now broken through the King and become an Emperor. Fellow Daoist has traveled thousands of miles from the future to come here. May I ask what brings you here?"

Xu Yuanming slowly emerged from the long river of time, his figure overlapping with endless dimensions, all of time and space infinitely close, as if he had stepped out of destiny.

"I have met you, fellow Daoist. I have come here today to learn about your 'uniqueness' and to discuss the path of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

The white-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor was startled. Only after the other party fully manifested from destiny could he truly see the other party's origins.

He hasn't yet broken through to become emperor!

However, that power made him tremble. Before he had completely broken through to the Immortal King level, the white-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor had already become invincible. There was no one in the myriad realms who could pose a threat to him.

And now, such a thing has actually appeared in the long river of time!
A being who was merely a Celestial King could actually frighten him, who had become a Quasi-Celestial Emperor, causing him to tremble from the depths of his soul.

How can this be?

It is almost impossible to cross every realm within the Immortal King realm, but this person has the combat power of a quasi-Immortal Emperor in the Immortal King realm.

The white-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor sighed. From which time and space did such an extraordinary being come?
Fortunately, the other party meant no harm, otherwise I might have been killed by this person across the ages.

Turning the pages of ancient history, there were indeed a few very powerful individuals, so powerful that beings with the potential to become near-Immortal Emperors were swept away with a single glance, and the once mighty Heavenly Court fell into ruin.

Having reached this point, he naturally knew many secrets; all those people had broken through the ranks of kings and become emperors.
The white-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor felt very complicated. The young man in front of him looked very ordinary, but the power he possessed was unmatched by anyone in history.

"To the best of my knowledge, I hope it can be of help to you, fellow Daoist."

Xu Yuanming produced a mirror, tossed it over, and laughed, "I didn't listen for nothing. This replica of the Immortal Emperor's weapon is passable. Although its supreme characteristics have disappeared, it is still considered powerful among Quasi-Immortal Emperor spiritual treasures."

The white-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor asked, "Quasi-Immortal Emperor? Immortal Emperor?"

Since ancient times, there has only been the saying that one who breaks through the king becomes an emperor.

There has never been such a thing as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or an Immortal Emperor.

Xu Yuanming replied: "As the name suggests, Quasi-Immortal Emperor is the realm you are currently in. You exist through all ages, are eternal and unique, and have attained a complete cultivation system, becoming its ancestor. This is what a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is."

"As for... the Immortal Emperor, that's another realm altogether. This realm is also known as the 'Supreme of All Heavens' and the 'End of the Road Realm.' If you are destined, you will know. For now, you only need to know that until you reach this realm, you will never know the power of this realm."

"Just as the name suggests, 'The End of the Road,' this realm is far beyond imagination. You can think that anything you think a Celestial Emperor can do, and in all the myriad realms, in the heavens above, those who can reach this point are without exception the most outstanding geniuses, the chosen ones of countless eras."

The white-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor clenched his fist, his Dao heart resolute: "I will surely become an Immortal Emperor in the future."

Xu Yuanming smiled but said nothing.

This person's talent is absolutely terrifying. In this era, when the future is unknown, he broke through the Immortal King realm and proved himself to be a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. In the future, he is very likely to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

It's a pity that he will die soon. Fate is hard to change, and countless times have changed, which will greatly affect future generations and interfere with his own life.

However, Xu Yuanming had other ways to save him, but now was not the time.

……

……

A special period. Xu Yuanming emerged from the earth, looked at the ravaged heavens and earth and pondered for a moment.

The layout of this world is familiar: Chaos Island, Void Forbidden Zone, Primordial Ancient Mine...

The forbidden zones are widespread and transcend the mundane world. However, unlike other eras, there are other forbidden zones, including life-threatening zones that he is unaware of.

He saw a young man who was extremely silent. After seeing Xu Yuanming, he asked him a question.

“There should be no creature like you in this world.”

Xu Yuanming laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist's strength is also ordinary. In this era, you have attained the Dao Supreme and become the pinnacle of the Dao. Even in the next era, you will still be an invincible existence."

The young man, puzzled, asked, "What makes you think so, senior?"

Xu Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yuanfeng, if you were given a chance to live to that era, would you choose it?"

The cultivator at the pinnacle of the Dao before him widened his pupils. He had been proving his Dao for three thousand years and was a supreme being of the Dao, a peak existence in the realm of humanity. Even before the great changes in the world, he was a top-tier existence.

During this period, he never appeared in the world, and many people had already forgotten him.

Now, this person in front of me, who looks like an ordinary person, can tell me his background at a glance.

"S-Senior, who are you?"

Yuan Feng then noticed that the 'person' dressed in moon white was quite ordinary, not like a whole body, but rather like a part of a primordial spirit or soul.

Xu Yuanming said, "You will know in the future how much time has passed since the Desolate Emperor left?"

"It has been more than three million years. During this time, there has been a lot of activity in the forbidden zone of life. The whole world has fallen into such a state that the Great Dao has long since collapsed. It takes hundreds of thousands of years to finally give birth to a Supreme Being of the Ultimate Dao."

Yuan Feng continued, "May I ask when you came from, senior? Could it be that you once saw the Desolate Emperor in his youth?"

Xu Yuanming smiled and said, "I have seen him, and he is indeed extraordinary, but compared to this, it is of no benefit to either of us."

Yuan Feng remained silent for a long while before finally nodding and speaking softly.

"Senior, you may not know this, but many years ago, I witnessed the Desolate Heavenly Emperor ascend to immortality. However, due to the environment and the creatures of those forbidden zones, he had to seal himself away. Now, with his resurgence in this era, I sense that this world has already..."

Xu Yuanming smiled and asked, "What do you think will happen many years from now?"

"The number of beings at the pinnacle of the ultimate path will dwindle. At that time, it's unbelievable how many people will still be alive in the world. Without the cultivators at the pinnacle of the ultimate path dominating the world, who can withstand the forbidden zone of life?"

Yuan Feng sighed.

You will see it one day.

After Xu Yuanming finished speaking, he struck down with his palm, splitting heaven and earth in two, transforming it into a source of immortal energy which he then threw into the man's hand before disappearing.

"This this!"

Yuan Feng's pupils widened. The person in front of him had appeared suddenly without anyone noticing, and then left just as abruptly. The source stones he had thrown at him before leaving were terrifying, far superior to anything he had ever seen.

And this was something the other party created casually.
