Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 164 Only Killing
"It's chaos, everything is a mess!"

The gaunt old man from the heavens murmured to himself, looking at the scene unfolding before him with disbelief.

Throughout history, how many people have been able to reach the end of the road?

In such a short time, we've seen so many, and two of them are already dead!

What is the origin of these myriad realms? How did so many beings at the end of the road come into being?

What's the point of unification now?
It's all a joke. When beings from the End of the Road Realm made their move, all of time went into chaos. They witnessed two such high-level battles.

Where is the legendary one?
What about that empress and the Heavenly Emperor surnamed Ye?

And that person who caused the Heavenly Dao Ancestor to suffer heavy losses some time ago.

Are they still at war?

Rumble!
The sky seemed to have collapsed, and from the heavens above, many gazes were cast down upon it.

Several mysterious immortal emperors have emerged!

Two eerie progenitors appeared in the world, one of them coldly laughing: "Today, all the heavens and myriad worlds will surely perish, everything will return to its origin, and everything will repeat itself from the beginning."

A ray of light illuminated the boundless universe, and in the endless years, a woman wearing a ghost mask emerged from endless fate.

The Empress, one of the Three Heavenly Emperors!
Upon seeing the woman, the Black Emperor immediately tucked his tail between his legs.

If you had to say who he fears most, it would only be this woman. Others might joke about killing him, but this woman could actually do it.

"Sacrifice?"

A mysterious ancestor sighed, "We were careless again. First, we let that one become a sacrificial offering, and now you two have become sacrificial offerings. But this is the end. All the heavens and myriad realms will be settled and enter a new cycle of reincarnation. So what if you become a sacrificial offering? You will all be eternally silenced!"

The Ruthless Great Emperor remained silent, clad in armor and wielding a halberd, facing two sacrificial ancestors alone, his majesty undiminished.

"kill!"

After one of the eerie progenitors withstood the attack, he solemnly said, "Reveal your true form and let us take a closer look."

"I was born in splendor, and I will die as light. You have no right to look me in the eye!" The Ruthless Emperor spoke coldly, a strand of his black hair fluttering as he held a halberd and pressed forward.

The two progenitors involuntarily took a step back. They were worried that the dream might come true and some things might be reflected in reality. Otherwise, they wouldn't have all come out of seclusion now.

They were afraid of dying. Their opponent was clearly extraordinary, extremely powerful, and even those in the sacrificial realm might perish.

At this moment, the Ruthless Great Emperor, clad in armor and wielding a halberd, marched forward, like an invincible war god in this realm. Although she was a woman, she was incredibly domineering, with unparalleled elegance and dazzling brilliance!
"In the end, you are all alone. There are no more Immortal Emperors in the myriad realms. What can stop you? Empress, today you will watch helplessly as the person you cherish dies before your eyes, powerless and unable to change anything!"

Without uttering a word, the Ruthless Emperor charged towards the creature that had spoken.

At this moment, at the end of the cycle of reincarnation, a being emerged, who was none other than the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

"Too much time has passed, and many have forgotten us. Now we have resurrected and manifested only to quell the chaos. In the ancient times, we were defeated and needed someone to save us. Now, we offer our meager strength! Let us kill these strange Immortal Emperors!"

He was reborn at the end of the mythological era of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming the last one to attain enlightenment. Relying on the secret method of reincarnation, he finally became an immortal and has now reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

Beside the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was the Immortal Tribulation Immortal Emperor, who had also entered the Immortal Emperor realm.

Those who are true dragons are all a bit lacking; they are now all top-tier Dao Ancestors, but still some distance from becoming Immortal Emperors.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Emperor looked into the farthest distance and sighed.

Previously, he was always vaguely superior to the Immortal King Wuzhong, but unexpectedly, after reincarnation, the other party became an Immortal Emperor before him and even successfully performed the Dao sacrifice.

He knew his own talent; perhaps reaching the level of Immortal Emperor was already the limit, and the possibility of further advancement was very small.

Suddenly, the Butcher and the Burial Master also arrived. The two of them had followed the Desolate Heavenly Emperor Shi Hao and had now become Immortal Emperors, coming from another realm to fight their way in.

Five Celestial Emperors gathered here, looking at the strange Celestial Emperor above the sky.

"But that's all. How do you know that our clan only has these ancestors who practiced sacrificial rites?"

One of the strange Immortal Emperors spoke, looking at the myriad realms with a playful expression.

"And the progenitor of the Daoist religion? How is that possible?"

Emperor Bone exclaimed in surprise. He had already gained the upper hand and wanted to kill this strange Immortal Emperor in one fell swoop, but now he was being told that there were still many strange Immortal Emperors!
Suddenly, his momentum plummeted. He knew many secrets, and the current Desolate Emperor Shi Hao had been stopped. Only the strange ancestor of the sacrificial path could have done it.

The fact that this strange Immortal Emperor spoke like this means that these things have been removed, which also means that the strange Immortal Emperor still exists!

"Our race has a long history; what in the world can compare? All the heavens and myriad realms will surely fall and be sacrificed; your resistance is futile..."

Before he could finish speaking, the plateau suddenly exploded. A figure with a torrent of energy and blood revived on the plateau and shattered it!

"Emperor Ye!"

Throughout the myriad realms, those old people were moved to tears.

When they talk about the Great Emperor Wushi and the Ruthless Great Emperor, they get excited and admire them greatly, but that's about it.

Only Ye Tiandi, one of the three Heavenly Emperors, is different!
His appearance brought a sense of security. It wasn't that the other two Heavenly Emperors were incompetent, but only Emperor Ye could bring that truly comforting feeling.

"How brave!"

The remaining three ancestors emerged, looking at Ye Fan with sneers: "You actually dare to challenge the high plateau alone. Even that one was stained with blood in the past. Perhaps you are extraordinary, but we are all at the Sacrifice Dao Realm. Even if we die, we can still drag you down with us. I don't believe you can kill the three of us by yourself!"

"As long as one of us survives, and helps the other strange progenitors, we will be able to annihilate you all!"

"Wait, one person is missing?"

A strange progenitor noticed something was wrong.

There are three strange ancestors blocking Shi Hao's side, one on the side of Emperor Wushi, two on the side of Emperor Ruthless, and three on the side of Emperor Ye Tian. Where did the other one go?
"Some time ago, a being from the Dao Ancestor realm traveled through time and space, rewrote his destiny, and went to that era."

"That part? Was it him?"

"Hmm, but I don't know why they haven't returned yet. It's very unreasonable. They couldn't have died at the hands of that Dao Ancestor, could they?"

"Heh... Look at what you're saying, the Daoist priest died at the hands of the Dao Ancestor? What a joke!"

Ye Fan formed the Heavenly Emperor Fist and charged straight at the enemy.

"Heh... After he kills that Dao Ancestor, I wonder if you'll still surprise us..."

Suddenly, the river of time was torn apart. Countless runes of destiny reversed, and all the great principles of eternity converged together.

All the heavens and myriad realms, beyond the world, all time and space, hundreds of millions of dimensions, all different paths are heading towards one place.

Emperor Bone Brother scratched his head: "What's this? Someone's about to perform a ritual?"

He was the first to start cultivating, and aside from Shi Hao, the other three actually performed the Dao-cultivation ritual before him!

This already made him somewhat uncomfortable, and now someone is going to perform a ritual, how could this not bother him?

Before those strange ancestors could make a move, Xu Yuanming's figure materialized, holding a head in his hand and grinning.

"Looks like the ritual isn't all that great. I haven't even performed the ritual yet, and I've already killed one."

His words were casual and nonchalant, as if in his view, killing a priest was no different from killing a dog.

"How is this possible! You are that person. You were clearly a Dao Ancestor before, how did you reach the pinnacle of your path and sublimate now? You even possess the power to eternally sacrifice to the Dao!"

The remaining nine ancestors could hardly believe it.

The sudden appearance of three primordial voices puzzled everyone in the myriad realms, who had no idea where they came from.

It was a beam of light that suddenly surged.

It was clear that Shi Hao was facing off against the three progenitors alone.

"The Mysterious Clan... has a total of ten ancestors at the Sacrifice Dao Realm!"

Xu Yuanming laughed and said, "I have already performed the ritual. I wonder if anyone else would like to try with me?"

His voice was calm, as if he didn't care about these creatures of the same realm.

"Arrogant! So what if you have five priests? How could we, the nine progenitors of the priesthood, be no match for you?"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Xu Yuanming smiled, completely unconcerned. After the sacrificial ceremony, he felt the power within his body. Now, he didn't care about these ancestors at all. Although he wasn't far from the sacrificial path, it was more than enough for him to kill these strange ancestors.

After he finished speaking, all living beings in the world were in a daze.

A Celestial Emperor wanted to check on Xu Yuanming's condition, but after investigating, he found nothing but emptiness, as if it had never existed.

Not long ago, they thought Xu Yuanming was very strong, but now they couldn't even detect him. Did they, as evolved beings at the Immortal Emperor level, not even have the qualifications?

In this scene, all the Dao Ancestors in the battlefield between the two realms felt their soul light tremble.

A blinding sword light cleaved through the depths of space.

A strange immortal emperor whispered, "We were only focused on the grand sacrifice, but this is all we've achieved. How can this person become so powerful without relying on sacrifices? This is illogical."

Xu Yuanming thrust his sword forward.

"It seems you gained a lot of benefits in that era, perhaps even some things from the creator god. Otherwise, how could you be so powerful?"

The White-Haired Mysterious Ancestor's Speculation.

It now revealed its true form, which was incredibly enormous, making even the myriad realms seem extremely weak in comparison.

All cultivators in the world were shocked and terrified, for this was a realm that almost surpassed that of the Immortal Emperor.

Priest!
Many people fainted, while some beings collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. This included not only ordinary cultivators but also some Dao Ancestors who couldn't help but worship.

Countless people were filled with fear and despair; the sacrificial domain was indeed so terrifying.

Can they really win?
Many Immortal Emperors were sinking into despair. They couldn't change the course of the battle, so what if they killed all these strange Immortal Emperors?

Even these bizarre ancestors of the sacrificial path are no match for them; just one is enough to bring them all to a miserable end!

"You may be extraordinary, but in the end, it was just that the ancestor was careless and failed to use his strongest state. Since that's the case, then let me show you the true ancestor of the sacrificial path!" The white-haired, eerie ancestor spoke, with considerable confidence and composure.

Xu Yuanming noticed that behind most of its outstretched body, there was a faint, ethereal figure, which was very likely the Creator God.

The strange race was cheering; they outnumbered the opposing force by almost double.

Having reached this level, how many people can take on several opponents by themselves?

Sooner or later, they will be worn down and die; all the heavens and myriad worlds will be unable to escape the fate of destruction.

Xu Yuanming didn't care anymore and took action directly.

With a snap, he stretched out his large hand and grabbed the hand of the white-haired, eerie progenitor, knocking the other's weapon away.

"How is that possible? You've only just entered this realm!"

The white-haired, eerie progenitor screamed in agony, blood splattering everywhere. It couldn't believe it. Unlike the eerie progenitor who had died at Xu Yuanming's hands, it had summoned a coffin and reached its peak strength, yet it had been struck down by Xu Yuanming like this!

Its body was covered with dense Dao runes, but it still couldn't stop Xu Yuanming, who was holding a sword, but simply shattered it with his bare body.

"After listening to you talk for so long, I thought you were some kind of strong person, but it turns out that's all you've got?"

Xu Yuanming said coldly, grabbing it and squeezing it tightly. The body of the sacrificial Dao Realm was now under Xu Yuanming's control, with almost no extra movements, a pure crushing.

"I don't believe it! I refuse to accept this!" it screamed, turning back to look at the coffin in the lake. It even had some doubts: was it a direct descendant of the Creator God, or was it this person in front of it? Otherwise, how could it be so strong?
With a soft "poof," it instantly bled, staining the void crimson; most of its body had been smashed to pieces by Xu Yuanming.

Then, Xu Yuanming grabbed its neck, twisted it, and ripped its head off.

"Roar!"

It howled mournfully and cried out pitifully. As the progenitor of the sacrificial path, it was utterly powerless to fight back. No matter how many supernatural powers it possessed or how much light of rules it shone, they all vanished like bubbles.

The coffin still wanted to move, to grant this white-haired, eerie progenitor more power, but Xu Yuanming cut off most of it with a single sword strike.

"You want to join the fight too? Fine, then we'll stand together!"

Xu Yuanming, wielding the Sword of the Great Dao, began his attack.

"Ah... Help me!!" the white-haired, eerie progenitor roared, trying to get the other progenitors to split their forces and help it resist Xu Yuanming.
It felt like it had seen a ghost. How could this being who had just entered the realm of sacrificial arts be so powerful? Could it be that this person really killed that strange ancestor before achieving the status of sacrificial arts?
"You talk too much." Xu Yuanming found it noisy and garrulous. He gently squeezed its head, and with a "poof," the body of the ancestor of the sacrificial rites exploded.

An ancestor of the sacrificial path died, just like that! Like a little chick, he was grabbed by the head and then beaten to death with a forceful blow.

But this isn't a chicken; it's an ancestor!
