Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 170 The Path to Breaking the Emperor
"The Stone Emperor is incredibly audacious, daring to covet the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Chaos Celestial Venerable. He deserves to die a thousand deaths."

"Let him live for now, but punish the Stone Emperor to be a slave of the Primordial Ancient Mine."

The Stone Emperor, firmly bound within the Bronze Immortal Palace, felt an endless surge of rage within him, and the divine light in his eyes seemed to burn.

However, he no longer had the strength to resist the powerful Tai Chu.

The Primordial Imprint left countless extremely complex immortal runes, forcefully sealing away the divine power within the Stone Emperor's body.

Even his primordial spirit was imprisoned.

He was the great emperor of his time, and should have reigned supreme and been invincible. However, after his body and primordial spirit were shattered by Tai Chu time and time again, his Dao heart was completely broken. Even if Tai Chu released him, it is likely that the Stone Emperor would find it difficult to advance on the path of the Great Dao.

Tai Chu cleaned up the battlefield and collected all the broken weapons of the Stone Emperor. These fragments were all dragon-patterned black gold, which were extremely precious.

They also collected the Stone Emperor's essence blood and broken bone fragments, which were also treasures.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Tai Chu, along with the Desolate Tower and the Bronze Immortal Palace, returned to the Tai Chu Ancient Mine.

The Great Dao's Heavenly Sound roared, and countless extraordinary phenomena swirled around Tai Chu's body. The supreme divine power of the Dao covered the sky and shook the universe.

One powerful figure after another had already descended upon Ziwei Star, where they respectfully awaited the return of Taichu.

Even the Holy Spirits looked upon the beginning with worshipful eyes.

No one expected that with the defeat of the Stone Emperor, the entire Holy Spirit Heavenly Court would collapse so suddenly.

It was as if they had never existed.

The numerous Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors, watching the victorious return of the Primordial Emperor, all shouted in unison: "Welcome back, Great Emperor Primordial Emperor!"

At this moment, everyone finally saw what Tai Chu looked like. He was a man who looked to be around twenty years old, with a majestic and imposing figure, a powerful aura, and unfathomable depth.

He defeated the Stone Emperor even before he had attained the Dao and become an emperor, which is truly awe-inspiring.

The beginning came from the ancient mine and is the Holy Spirit of the ancient mine.

The Primordial Emperor resided on the Purple Star, flanked by the Desolate Tower and the Bronze Immortal Palace.

His body radiated a sacred and powerful light, and he uttered an incomparably grand voice.

"The Stone Emperor is too arrogant, daring to offend my Primordial Ancient Mine. I hereby punish him to be a slave, never to be freed."

The voice of the beginning resounded throughout the starry sky, and everyone fell silent.

Then the entire universe went into a frenzy.

The Stone Emperor, this great emperor of his time, was rendered a slave to the Primordial Ancient Mine after his defeat—an unprecedented event in history.

Historically, once the great emperors and ancient sovereigns successfully attained enlightenment, they were destined to rule the world for at least 20,000 years.

It's incredibly difficult to produce an Emperor.

If someone has already proven their faith, it is extremely difficult for someone else to succeed in doing so.

No matter how amazing one's talent for cultivation may be, in the end, it can only end in disappointment.

Historically, apart from the Chaos Body, perhaps only the Undying Emperor, a phoenix who fell from the Immortal Realm, had the power to defy the heavens and attain enlightenment when there were already other enlightened beings.

But this Primordial One is neither a Chaos Body nor a visitor from the Immortal Realm; it is merely a Holy Spirit Immortal Embryo nurtured in the Primordial Ancient Mine, yet it possesses such power.

Despite the Stone Emperor's attainment of enlightenment, he was actually forced to break through.

When many people heard this news, they were filled with disbelief and wondered if they were still asleep.

The Stone Emperor is the great emperor of this era. He has been integrated with the Heavenly Heart Mark for so many years and has ruled the world for nearly 20,000 years. He is still at the peak of his health and strength.

He killed all the quasi-emperors who dared to challenge him, which shows his arrogance and cruelty.

But now, the Stone Emperor has actually been defeated by the Primordial Beginning.

People didn't believe it at first, but they soon had to accept it as a fact.

The Stone Emperor wanted to seize the Primordial Ancient Mine; everything else was just an excuse.

He thought that opening the ancient mine would be an easy way to take over, but he did not expect that there was a powerful Primordial being lurking there, constantly being nurtured.

Now, the Primordial One burst forth from its gestation and immediately suppressed the Stone Emperor upon its birth.

Many people have seen that since his birth, Tai Chu has been fighting against the Stone Emperor, and has not even had time to consolidate his realm or try to prove his Dao.

Without triggering the Heavenly Tribulation for attaining Dao, he shattered the Stone Emperor, which can be said to have created a myth.

Why is the power of the Primordial One so strong? It is almost comparable to the legendary Chaos Body.

Many people are filled with turmoil and have deep doubts about the origins of the beginning.

According to the recorded legends, the Chaotic Body is the most powerful physique known to date.

The advantages of this physique are comprehensive.

No other physique can compare to it; at least before the birth of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, no physique can compare to the Chaos Body.

But now, this primordial beginning is so rich in origin and so powerful.

He belongs to the Holy Spirits, just like the Stone Emperor, but his strength surpasses that of the Stone Emperor.

Logically speaking, the Stone Emperor, who is currently at the peak of his second life, should have an absolute advantage in combat power over the Primordial Era.

Tai Chu proved to everyone that he was more powerful than the Stone Emperor.

If it weren't for Xiao Ping'an's meticulous nurturing, if Xiao Ping'an hadn't taught him the Heaven-Mending Technique early on, and if he hadn't been nearly killed by the Dark Supreme as in the original story, Tai Chu would never have been able to grow so powerful.

It was this disciple, whom Xiao Ping'an accepted on a whim, who changed his fate and created a miracle.

Many people, seeing the immense power of the Primordial Beginning, felt even greater awe for the Primordial Ancient Mine.

The light of the ultimate path surged and shone, illuminating the starry sky.

Tai Chu looked at the crowd worshipping and nodded. He generously preached to them for three days before entering the Tai Chu Ancient Mine.

Just as Tai Chu was about to enter the Tai Chu Ancient Mine, a group of Great Perfection Holy Spirits emerged.

"Your Majesty, please wait! We have something to ask of you!"

Then one after another, perfectly formed Holy Spirits stepped forward.

Although they are also perfect Holy Spirits, they are far inferior in spirit to the perfect Holy Spirit of the beginning.

They could barely stand before the beginning.

Tai Chu glanced at the few Great Perfection beings who followed the Stone Emperor and immediately knew that they had betrayed him and no longer supported him.

They quickly explained their purpose: they wanted to invite Taichu to reside in the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court and become its second ruler.

However, Tai Chu did not recognize this Holy Spirit Heavenly Court, and he directly and decisively rejected it.

What a joke! Master Batianzun is extremely secretive about the name of the Heavenly Court. Back then, when the Emperor wanted to hand the Heavenly Court over to Batianzun, Batianzun refused. Now, establishing a Heavenly Court is just asking for trouble.

Moreover, Taichu had no interest in being a ruler; he preferred to attain enlightenment and become an emperor, embarking on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

The second and third junior brothers are Fuxi and Nuwa, both disciples of their master, Batianzun.

Now that they have lived through their fourth life, and without living through their fifth, they have entered a strange world.

They are sure to have a bright future.

As the eldest disciple of Ba Tianzun, even though he has just been born, he cannot bring shame to his master.

Now that Batianzun is a mortal immortal, he is still cultivating and seeking enlightenment, aiming to reach an even higher realm.

Of course, Tai Chu would follow in the footsteps of Ba Tian Zun.

He also needs to cultivate diligently, strive to attain the Dao and become an emperor, and embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

. . .

In the beginning, the Great King Stone was defeated and punished by being made a servant.

This event caused a sensation throughout the world and is destined to be recorded in history as a major event.

The Stone Emperor overestimated himself. Instead of being the proper ruler of the Heavenly Court, he coveted the Primordial Ancient Mine and invaded it.

As a result, he angered the Holy Spirit Supreme of the Primordial Ancient Mine, who came out and smashed him to pieces.

It's truly unbelievable that Tai Chu, instead of attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor, almost killed the Stone Emperor.

The whole world was talking about it, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Many people's understanding of the profound history and awe of the Taichu Ancient Mine have unknowingly been elevated several levels.

After entering the Taichu Ancient Mine, Taichu did not remain idle but continued to cultivate diligently.

Since the Primordial Beginning intended to break the Heavenly Heart Mark and traverse the myriad paths of Heaven and Earth, it naturally needed to make many preparations.

He secretly visited his master, Ba Tianzun, but found him in seclusion. He didn't disturb him and quietly returned to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Rumble.

The mysterious Primordial Mine occasionally emits tremendous roars that shake the planet Ziwei, and sometimes even more immense fluctuations that spread into the cosmos.

The entire Primordial Ancient Mine was shrouded in mysterious light, with countless Great Dao Laws interwoven in dense patterns, and the Heavenly Sounds of the Great Dao resounding.

Every now and then, an aura that shook the heavens and the earth, surpassing even the Heavenly Heart Mark, would emanate from it.

The heavens and earth roared, like divine thunder exploding, and the entire universe trembled.

A chaotic light, obscuring the sky and the sun, swept across the starry heavens.

In the primordial, boundless chaos, the supreme Dao constantly transformed and sublimated.

The terrifying fluctuations of the Great Dao made people think that the Primordial Chaos was undergoing tribulation.

Tai Chu has already declared that he will not only defeat the Stone Emperor, but also break his suppression of the Great Dao and traverse the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

Many people looked solemn and skeptical about this matter.

They acknowledged that the beginning was powerful, but power does not necessarily guarantee the attainment of the throne.

This does not mean that it can be above the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Throughout recorded history, very few people have ever been able to break free from the Heavenly Mandate and traverse the myriad paths of Heaven and Earth.

Each one of them was renowned and powerful.

Almost everyone who broke the Heavenly Heart Mark embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world; they were truly exceptionally talented.

If it weren't for the suppression of the Great Emperor, people would believe that it was possible for the Primordial One to attain enlightenment and become Emperor.

But the Stone Emperor is still alive, and his terrifying suppression of the Great Dao has made many peerless geniuses feel hopeless.

Tai Chu was indeed very powerful; he was able to kill Shi Huang even before he had attained the Dao and become an emperor.

Now that the Stone Emperor has been suppressed and imprisoned, people don't know what kind of experiments Tai Chu is conducting, but they are certainly going to thoroughly prepare the Stone Emperor.

The Great Dao's Heavenly Sound resounded, and the area around the Primordial Ancient Mine was transformed into a magical place for enlightenment.

Many people disregard their own safety and treat the area around the Primordial Ancient Mine as a dungeon to grind, and every now and then, peerless geniuses come here to comprehend the essence of the Great Dao.

Even Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors descended here, not to pay homage to the Primordial Beginning, but to comprehend the divine essence of the Great Dao.

It is truly incredible that two Holy Spirit Emperors, the Stone Emperor and the Primordial Emperor, were born in almost the same era.

If Taichu could truly attain enlightenment and become Emperor, that would be truly extraordinary.

Both the Big Dipper and the Purple Star are nodes on the ancient star road, so it's not surprising that many extraordinary talents come to the Purple Star for training.

The strange phenomena in the Primordial Ancient Mine caused the Great Dao of the entire Ziwei Star to resonate, even stimulating the divine essence of the Great Dao of the Sun Saint Emperor and the Moon Saint Emperor.

After the news spread, even more powerful beings from beyond the realms descended upon Ziwei Star to train there.

Countless supreme laws were densely interwoven throughout the Ziwei Star, creating an extremely mysterious and powerful spectacle.

As everyone knows, the Primordial Ancient Mine is currently the best place for enlightenment on Ziwei Star, but after defeating the Stone Emperor, the Primordial Emperor treated him as a servant, which shocked everyone.

Those Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors only dared to cultivate and comprehend the Dao from afar, and did not even dare to peek into the interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine.

. . .

In the ancient mine of the Primordial Beginning, one could see the Primordial Beginning cultivating and comprehending the Dao. Occasionally, he would extend a finger and beat up the weakened Stone Emperor, occasionally extracting his soul to search for his forbidden secret techniques.

The Stone Emperor's spirit and body were as blazing as the sun; even if he were killed, he could be resurrected in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, although Tai Chu had completely suppressed the Stone Emperor, he was still keeping a close eye on him.

Since we need to break through his Great Dao suppression, we naturally need to study the Stone Emperor's techniques and secret arts carefully.

Looking at the Stone Emperor, who had once again materialized, Tai Chu smiled and asked, "You wanted to take over the Tai Chu Ancient Mine? Wasn't that courting death? Do you regret it now?"

Upon hearing this question, the Stone Emperor's face turned ashen.

Now, standing in this Primordial Ancient Mine, sensing the ever-growing energy of the Primordial Era, he felt his negative emotions were about to explode.

He was originally confident that he was invincible and would rule the world, but now he has become a prisoner.

He could now sense that Tai Chu was indeed a person with great fortune and perseverance, and his origin was indeed much stronger than his own.

After being defeated and treated as a servant, Shi Huang, as the great emperor of his time, also had his own pride.

He resolutely refused to yield.

Even if he is defeated time and time again, he will never become a servant.

"So what if I have it? So what if I don't?" the Stone Emperor shouted arrogantly.

Tai Chu looked at this stubborn guy and his smile faded.

"Since you, Stone Emperor, are so unrepentant and haven't realized your mistakes, then I'll teach you a lesson."

Then Tai Chu began searching for souls.

The Stone Emperor had been completely suppressed and was powerless to resist. He could only watch helplessly as Tai Chu reached his hands into the world of his brow altar and searched for something carefully.

At this moment, the Stone Emperor knelt on the ground, appearing to be in great pain.

His dragon-patterned black and gold battle armor and dragon-patterned black and gold halberd had long been destroyed by Tai Chu, and he collected the fragments.

Although the Stone Emperor was in a very sorry state and in great pain, he still exuded an extremely fierce killing intent, truly a ferocious and malevolent figure.

This proud contemporary enlightened one is clearly unwilling to become a prisoner; he is still struggling and has not given up.

Although he knew that there was a huge gap between his strength and that of Tai Chu, he still had a chance since he was still alive.

Although the Stone Emperor was in great pain during the soul search, he endured it.

His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his whole body was engulfed in a raging fire of resentment.

With each mournful roar, the supreme divine power blotted out the sky and shattered countless galaxies.

The many cultivators of Ziwei Star were trembling with fear, not knowing what had happened.

Many people bowed and worshipped at the location of the Primordial Ancient Mine, hoping that the Primordial Emperor would protect them.

One after another, powerful Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors, upon hearing that mournful roar, all recognized who it was—the legendary Stone Emperor.

As the great emperor of his time, Shi Huang possessed his own dignity and pride.

The fact that the Supreme Being Tai Chu forced the Stone Emperor to let out such a fierce scream clearly shows that Tai Chu's methods are far beyond those of ordinary people.

No matter how many forbidden techniques the Stone Emperor uses, his final fate—whether he lives or dies—is determined by a single thought in the beginning.

The Stone Emperor was shrouded in mist, his eyes flashing with cold light, and his body shifted between reality and illusion.

His primordial spirit shone as brightly as the blazing sun, and a terrifying aura permeated the air.

Just as he was about to abandon his physical body and let his primordial spirit escape, he was surprised to find that a mark had appeared on his primordial spirit.

This forbidden secret technique, similar to the Divine Transcendence Technique, is specifically designed for exceptional geniuses. As long as their strength is sufficient, even Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns can be turned into loyal servants.

From then on, the Stone Emperor became a servant of the beginning.

From now on, the Stone Emperor will have no freedom and can spend the rest of his life here.

The Stone Emperor stared in shock at the wisp of mark on his primordial spirit, at the immortal runes emanating from it that filled him with despair, and his face was filled with rage.

He never imagined that he, who was once the Lord of the Holy Spirit Heavenly Court, would now become a plaything in the hands of the Primordial Beginning.

He resisted with all his might, his face full of resentment, staring coldly at Tai Chu.

Meanwhile, Tai Chu, who was constantly researching the Path to Breaking the Emperor, looked at the famous Stone Emperor with a face full of disdain.

His eyes were filled with disgust.

"You dog slave, do you think you're so powerful?" Tai Chu shouted.

His gaze grew increasingly cold, chilling to the bone, as if it could freeze the Stone Emperor to death.

"Your dog slave has a lifespan of a few thousand years, barely enough. Be a good servant and I'll let you live a few more years. If you don't obey, I'll turn you into fertilizer," Tai Chu said without any politeness.

The stone emperor before them had not yet realized his place.

The Stone Emperor had ruled the world for nearly 20,000 years and once governed countless living beings. The Primordial One before him was humiliating him without any courtesy, which made him so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

However, he lacked the power to retaliate and could only unleash a deafening roar.
