Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 166 Finale
That day the sun set and never rose again...

Xu Yuanming arrived in this world, looked at the original owner's story, and smiled slightly.

……

……

It's all over. This era is truly over.

"My era has come to an end."

Xu Yuanming wandered through this world, going around in circles, but in the end, he returned to his coffin.

He arrived in the era of the Creator God. At this moment, his cultivation, having experienced so many worlds, finally gathered together and returned to Xu Yuanming.

Breakthrough.

On the sacrificial path!

But no one knew.

At that very moment, at the pinnacle of this world, three people were beckoning to him.

Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng.

Xu Yuanming looked back and saw the Creator God behind him.

"They're calling us, let's go!"

The Creator God has finally manifested in this era. He looked at Xu Yuanming in the temple and smiled.

The Immortal Emperor Wanzhen and the Immortal Emperor Shangbei, standing beside Xu Yuanming's dojo, looked at each other in bewilderment. What had happened?
Didn't Xu Yuanming just achieve a profound spiritual enlightenment not long ago?

What's going on now? Could it be a sacrificial ceremony?
All the sacrificial beings of this era emerged, a total of six, and they bowed to the figure on the horizon: "Greetings, Lord Creator?"

Who?
Who is that?
What do the important figures in the ritual call this person?
The Creator God is beckoning to Xu Yuanming, asking him to go somewhere.

Immediately afterwards, the beings who were performing the ritual also bowed to Xu Yuanming and said, "Greetings, Senior Xu Yuanming."

Xu Yuanming has ascended the sacrificial altar!

The two Immortal Emperors were utterly astonished; Xu Yuanming had actually reached the same level as the Creator God!
How can this be?

However, the two were still happy.

I'm protected by beings above the sacrificial altar!
They made the right choice from the start; instead of becoming enemies with the Holy Immortal Emperor and Xu Yuanming, they chose to befriend each other.

Now, all the beings who had performed the rituals came to the sides of the two Immortal Emperors, offering them words of comfort and concern.

……

……

"In the end, only the five of us were left. We were amazing! Only we know how hard we went through all that!"

Chu Feng smiled.

Everyone looked at him.

Five beings from the sacrificial path were present.

Chu Feng was very relaxed on his own.

After the strange phenomenon was cleared away, Shi Hao and Ye Fan broke through to the Sacrifice Path not long after.

As for Chu Feng...

em
I don't want to comment too much on this person.

I just cultivated honestly and straightforwardly, without any obstacles, and naturally, hey! I've reached the Dao of Sacrifice!

Xu Yuanming, Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao, Ye Tian Emperor Ye Fan, Ruthless Great Emperor, Wushi Great Emperor...

They're lazy bums who win without lifting a finger!

I, Chu Feng, the Heavenly Emperor, am the MVP!

As soon as he finished speaking, three pairs of eyes locked onto Chu Feng.

The creator god made no comment, but simply stepped aside.

What followed was an unparalleled and massive siege.

The three priests ganged up on Chu Feng!
Chu Feng was bruised and swollen; there wasn't a single part of his body that was unharmed.

Xu Yuanming smiled and said, "Chu Feng, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've already broken through to the level of the Sacrifice Path. At your age, your future is limitless!"

Chu Feng shuddered; Xu Yuanming was unlike anyone else.

In the battle just now, the opponent really went all out. He had a feeling that not only would he not be his opponent, but he might even be swallowed up and turned into nourishment, just like the strange progenitor back then.

Uh……

As for what realms exist above the sacrificial path, that remains unknown.

Of course, whether or not this is true remains to be discussed.

……

……

"Tianzun!"

Upon seeing this familiar figure, Yuan Feng couldn't help but call out.

Xu Yuanming waved to him.

He hadn't heard this title, "Celestial Venerable," for a long time. Upon seeing Yuan Feng, he said with some disdain, "How come you're still just a Celestial King?"

Yuan Feng was somewhat embarrassed: "Heavenly Venerable... there's nothing I can do, my talent is limited, perhaps in this lifetime..."

Xu Yuanming rolled his eyes, snapped his fingers, and in an instant, Yuan Feng's cultivation level rose like a rocket. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Feng became Immortal King... no, now he's Immortal Emperor Yuan Feng!

……

……

Xu Yuanming was quite content walking in his own spiritual world. He sat down in the same little teahouse as before, chuckling to himself.

He's like a fool.

Everyone who saw him kept their distance, but the boss didn't kick him out.

This world is a wonderful place; it can't be so bad that it can't accommodate a crazy, idiotic fool.

Xu Yuanming was very happy. No matter what happened, he was always smiling. Nothing could make him sad anymore.

After all, there is nothing in this world that he cannot do; on the path of sacrifice, anything is possible.

It had been so long since he transmigrated to this world that Xu Yuanming himself was too lazy to even recall it.

He just knew that he had accomplished everything he had wanted to do in the past. At first, he wanted to survive, and then what? To live a prosperous life.

hey-hey……

Then came the attainment of enlightenment and becoming a Celestial Venerable.

Having lived five lifetimes in the mortal world to become an immortal, he points his sword towards the path of the Dao Ancestor, and embarks on the journey to become an Immortal Emperor.

It's all been described so casually, but... that's how it is!

It's all in the past now, isn't it simple?

Xu Yuanming is now a high-ranking official in the Imperial Sacrificial Ceremony. What does he need? Do others have the final say?

That doesn't count. I'm above the sacrificial altar, so my word is law.

I don't need to work any harder; I've already reached the top.

The road stretches to the heavens, each goes their own way; I have my broad, sunny path, you have your narrow, winding bridge…

Oh!
No, I've swallowed up all the narrow bridges. There are no more narrow bridges, only my own broad road!

The next moment, the two former Great Accomplished Overlords and Great Accomplished Saints, Cangming and Tianlan, arrived in front of Xu Yuanming.

Following behind him, just as before, they were one of Xu Yuanming's three representatives in the human world.

Now, both of them have become Dao Ancestors. Although their strength isn't anything special, I'm happy with them, after all, I watched them grow up.

Xu Yuanming waved his hand, and they too became Immortal Emperors.

And so the three Celestial Emperors followed behind this seemingly mad young man, traveling together through the myriad realms, enjoying themselves immensely.

……

……

This is a completely new era. The world is no longer plagued by the most terrifying darkness and turmoil, and no one will wash everything in blood.

Beyond the mortal realm, three Heavenly Emperors reign supreme over everyone.

The presence of these three beings above the level of the sacrificial path ensures that this world will always live in peace and prosperity, and will become even more flourishing, with an ever-growing number of beings in the sacrificial realm.

However, there are only a few living beings on the sacrificial path.

The creator god did not appear, and Xu Yuanming disappeared.

Everyone tacitly acknowledged the three Heavenly Emperors above the Sacrificial Path.

The old man's symptoms of the Creator God disease are similar to those of Wang Xuan, but he is not as advanced as Wang Xuan!
Xu Yuanming told the Creator God about Wang Xuan's story, which inadvertently provoked the Creator God to curse him.

Wang Xuan is way too far beyond the scope. The Creator God is furious. Why is it that this person is the same as himself and nothing happens to him, but he is like this?
The Creator God instructed Xu Yuanming to lead him to a man named Wang Xuan, so that he could have a proper discussion with him about the Dao.

"So... is it possible that he's such a supermodel... to the point where even you can't beat him?"

Upon hearing Xu Yuanming's words, the Creator God disappeared again. He seemed to have stopped restricting his cultivation and began to focus on his practice, setting a small goal: to suppress Wang Xuan.

only……

Xu Yuanming thought to himself, "It's impossible in this lifetime."

……

……

In the world beyond the depths of space.

Wang Xuan suddenly yawned.

His many wives hurriedly asked him if it was possible to catch a cold even in a realm beyond the Dao, and urged him not to get sick!
Wang Xuan laughed and said, "No, how could I possibly be sick? Think about who your husbands are! I'm Wang Xuan, invincible! What a joke!"

The ladies asked in unison, "Then why did you yawn just now? That's not like you!"

"He's a friend of mine!"

“Friends? Who? Qin Cheng? Chen Yongjie? Wu Xingtian…”

Wang Xuan denied all of their speculations.

"Who is that? Did you go off to flirt with some other woman without our knowledge?"

Zhao Qinghan smiled.

She was Wang Xuan's wife, and they were a truly lawfully wedded couple.

Wang Xuan shook his head: "His name is Xu Yuanming. He's not from our world. He passed through our world once. He's a very interesting person. Like me, he's quite strong, but compared to me... he's still..."

"Is that so? Fellow Daoist Wang Xuan, it's not good to talk about others so casually!"

At this moment, the world changed, and a young man dressed in a moon-white robe appeared, smiling at Wang Xuan.

"Oh, you've arrived! Come and see, I haven't been flirting this time. The person I'm talking about is him!"

Jiang Qingyao suddenly interjected, "You wouldn't spare men too, would you? No, for beings of your level, is the difference between men and women really that great? As for your inner thoughts... no, your mindset..."

Wang Xuan's face darkened. He went directly behind the other person, covered his mouth, and gave Xu Yuanming an awkward smile.

“Fellow Daoist Xu Yuanming, please don’t blame her, that’s just how she is.”

Xu Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "What's the big deal? It's nothing serious. On the contrary, what you said earlier is wrong. You and I have never fought each other, so how do you know I'm not as good as you?"

"Oh?" Wang Xuan licked his lips. He could sense that Xu Yuanming's strength had become ethereal, unlike before. It was very likely that he had broken through his cultivation after leaving with him. His fighting spirit was ignited. After so many years, he finally had someone he could go all out against. He said, "Fellow Daoist Xu Yuanming, then we shall see who is truly stronger. Don't cry if you can't win!"

Xu Yuanming rubbed his hands together, looking at Wang Xuan's group of wives, and joked, "As the husband of so many wives, you shouldn't be embarrassed by me like this. I'd feel really bad if you did!"

Many women smiled.

They had all witnessed Wang Xuan's growth at every stage of his journey. Those who used to speak to Wang Xuan like that are long gone. If it were someone else, they might not have taken it to heart, because Wang Xuan would win and be invincible.

This mysterious man named Xu Yuanming was different; he appeared and disappeared suddenly, and even their husband, Wang Xuan, was unaware of it.

……

……

After a while, the battle between Xu Yuanming and Wang Xuan ended.

Xu Yuanming remained as impeccable as ever, his moon-white robe undisturbed, and a smile still graced his face.

On the contrary, Wang Xuan now looked like a pig's head. He was very frustrated, wondering why he couldn't beat this person.
Xu Yuanming was also very surprised. Wang Xuan was so strong. If the Creator God came to find him, he would probably beat him to a pulp!
Xu Yuanming stepped forward, patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder, and laughed, "Wang Xuan, don't be discouraged. Losing to me is nothing to be ashamed of!"

Wang Xuan grinned, "Just you wait, I'll definitely get my revenge someday, and then I'll make you kneel on the ground and sing 'Conquer' for me!"

……

……

Xu Yuanming returned to the world of immortality.

Here, he was drinking with Xiao Chen and others.

These people from the world of immortals didn't know who Xu Yuanming was, and when they asked Xiao Chen, he shook his head.

This party is special; how could we let a complete stranger in?
Xiao Chen revealed what Xu Yuanming had done in that great battle.

A lone figure stands in the center of the battlefield, shouting and singing amidst the blood and tears of all the sages, without flinching. After the battle ends, this lone figure wanders the world, singing the ancestral gods' hymns.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xu Yuanming, who was sitting in the corner, with awe and pity in their eyes.

Xu Yuanming felt these gazes, his face darkened, and he went forward to explain.

"Don't listen to what Xiao Chen is saying! There's no such nonsense!"

"Senior, may I ask your name? The Realm of Immortality needs your name; your deeds are worthy of being sung about for eternity in the Realm of Immortality!"

Xu Yuanming turned around and smiled: "My name is Xu Yuanming. Remember me. I'll be coming here to drink all the time. Don't be rude to me then!"

……

……

"Chen Nan, it has to be you! You've got your eye on seven people all by yourself."

Xu Yuanming looked at Chen Nan and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Nan's face darkened: "Senior, they are indeed my wives!"

Xu Yuanming clicked his tongue: "Look at them, how old are they? Do you even know that the minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum is death!"

"What on earth is this?!"

Chen Nan felt powerless, but he was still happy. This reminded him of his former companions, and his lips trembled slightly.

Some memories are truly cherished, but unfortunately, all of that can never be relived; the past is the past.

Xu Yuanming patted him on the shoulder, took out some fine wine, and said with a smile, "Where were we last time? I certainly don't remember. If you don't remember either, then I'll have to start the story from the beginning."

"Speaking of which, on this blue planet, there is such a family..."

"Stop, stop, stop... Senior, it's your turn to transmigrate. How are you going to survive? And how can you grow to your peak?"

"That's a long story, let me have a sip of wine first..."

"Speaking of which, Xu Yuanming transmigrated to the world of Shrouding the Heavens! He didn't have any cheat codes in this world..."
