Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 185 The Path to Corpse Immortality
Duan De spent over a thousand years here, reaching the age of over eight thousand six hundred.

Then, just as Tongtian Mingbao was about to curse, the white-haired Duan De was finally about to prove himself as Emperor.

At this point, he had finally succeeded.

His physical body and the path of the Great Dao are flawless.

These five secret realms of this lifetime are now perfect.

Although it seems that its peak of vitality has passed, it has its own unique techniques and secret arts to restore its youth.

Without hesitation, Duan De used the formation in the Kunlun Secret Realm to instantly regain his youth and transform into a young man of about twenty years old.

Everything about him has returned to its peak condition.

He tore through the void and entered the chaotic sea at the edge of the universe.

Tongtian Mingbao's figure also followed.

In fact, he would follow Duan De every time he became emperor.

It's not just for protecting the Dao, but also because he wants to transform and upgrade, to become a more powerful immortal artifact, and perhaps one day even become an immortal king artifact.

Rumble.

The earth-shattering thunder roared once more; such a terrifying tribulation for attaining enlightenment shocked everyone.

That unique aura of the Great Dao greatly bewildered all living beings in the world.

It is clearly a tribulation for attaining enlightenment, so why is it so different from the tribulations of others?

Moreover, with the Overlord Emperor and Laozi ruling the world, the suppression of the Great Dao is so terrifying. In this era, to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation for Dao Attainment is simply asking for death.

Almost all the Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors have similar thoughts.

Now, both the Overlord Emperor and Laozi are above all the paths of the mortal world; they are not ordinary emperors.

To dare to trigger the tribulation of enlightenment at this time is truly courageous.

But regardless of what others thought, that person triggered the tribulation of attaining enlightenment, and it was so violent and powerful that it was truly astonishing.

Everyone was silently watching, paying attention to the person undergoing the tribulation.

They truly couldn't believe that anyone could defy the heavens and attain enlightenment under the suppression of the two Heavenly Emperors.

Could it be that this person intends to forcibly merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark, willingly accepting two great emperors standing above his head?

It looks difficult, but it's actually even more difficult.

After all, there is an even more terrifying suppression of the Great Dao above the Heavenly Heart Mark, and not just anyone can merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark.

The difficulty is many times greater than when there is no Great Dao suppressing it.

Historically, there may have been instances where someone merged with the Heavenly Heart under the suppression of the Great Dao, but that was only achieved by the Overlord or the Undying Emperor secretly suppressing the Great Dao.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no hope.

Throughout history, countless extraordinary talents have been unwilling to remain suppressed and unable to attain enlightenment. More than one person has challenged the Great Dao of the contemporary emperor, but their final fates were extremely tragic.

Almost everyone turned to ashes.

Historically, those who have succeeded have almost always had benefactors to help them.

Rumble.

The terrifying thunder was earth-shattering, its brilliance reaching its peak, as if it were about to destroy the world.

Countless powerful beings used their Heavenly Eyes to observe the Chaos Sea at the edge of the universe, and were horrified by the terrifying lightning there.

They were even more astonished to see that such a violent heavenly tribulation could not leave any marks on this person.

I thought this person would soon turn to ashes in such a violent calamity, but unexpectedly he persevered.

It even devoured the illusory immortal figures that emerged from the lightning, one by one.

People were shocked to see the chubby figure and hear the faint curses coming from behind.

After all, those who have reached that level of cultivation have already experienced countless millennia of worldly trials. They have all fought their way up, and each of them is incredibly calm, or rather, incredibly domineering.

No one has ever cursed and swore like this fat man, it's like a shrew yelling in the street.

The Undying Emperor, the Overlord Emperor, Laozi, and even those Quasi-Emperors and Great Sages vaguely sensed it.

I think it's very likely that someone will become emperor today.

Even so, most of them still couldn't believe it.

Many people recognized the Tongtian Mingbao and Duan De, who seemed to bear a striking resemblance to a certain legendary guzheng player.

People have various speculations, some believing it to be the reincarnation of the ancient deity, others believing it to be a descendant of the ancient deity.

Soon Lao Tzu's voice rang out: "The path of the Underworld Lord is truly amazing; he can forge a different path each time."

"Now that the physical body has been reincarnated and the corpse has become spiritual, it has actually embarked on a different path and a more unorthodox way."

Lao Tzu and the Underworld Lord were both celestial beings from the mythological era, and relatively speaking, they knew more secrets than many others.

Moreover, Lao Tzu also followed the path of reincarnation and rebirth. Although their paths were different, they benefited greatly from their exchanges.

In every life, Lao Tzu walked the original Great Way, and each time he transformed and sublimated on the original Great Way.

However, the Lord of the Underworld walks a different path in each of his lifetimes.

But regardless of one's understanding of the path of reincarnation, Lao Tzu knew that the spirit communication of the corpse of the Underworld Lord Duan De was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

The soul he conceived still contained fragments of the original soul, unlike others who were conceived as spirits.

His corpse possessed a spirit, and the soul that emerged from it was still human.

Just like Lao Tzu's corpse communicating with spirits, it was a human being, not a spirit.

Many people were shocked to learn that the person undergoing tribulation was actually the Underworld Lord from the mythological era.

Legend has it that the current Overlord of the Underworld is not the creator of the Underworld.

The true creator of the underworld is the Lord of the Underworld, who is the person currently undergoing tribulation.

Legend has it that the Underworld Lord was once the Emperor Lord's master, and later they became friends. Their relationship was complicated, as they were both master and friend.

Although the Emperor was very secretive about this master-disciple relationship and did not know what happened back then, it is known that the two were once very close friends.

Now the Emperor has become the Heavenly Emperor of Yufeng, and no longer uses that infamous title of Emperor. Moreover, he has been in the strange world for so many tens of thousands of years. I wonder how he is doing now.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Underworld was still reincarnating in this world in his physical form.

Many people, upon seeing this underworld deity who called himself Duan De, suddenly recalled historical legends.

According to the theory of the Mortal Immortal passed down by the Overlord, this corpse is spiritually connected, and the seal of nine reincarnations is united, so it is actually following the path of the Corpse Immortal.

This path is actually very powerful, and it can even lead to immortality.

Many people immediately understood that the Underworld Lord was walking this path of becoming a Corpse Immortal.

He wants to merge the seal of nine lifetimes of reincarnation and become an immortal in the mortal world.

As everyone watched Duan De undergoing his tribulation, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Each time, he was able to prove himself as emperor through a different Dao, which is truly admirable.

It is unknown how many reincarnation marks are already present in Duan De's body.

What everyone can be sure of is that Duan De is making steady progress on this path.

If one reincarnates nine times, one may very well become an incomparably powerful immortal in the mortal world, just as the Overlord of Heaven predicted.

Although this path to immortality in the mortal world will take a long time and may involve great terrors of life and death, it is ultimately a viable path.

Many people, watching Duan De undergoing his tribulation, couldn't help but marvel at his great perseverance and wisdom.

The nine reincarnations merge into one seal, seemingly very stable, but in reality, one must go through countless life-and-death crises.

Every time a psychic encounter with a corpse goes wrong, it may perish completely and never be able to come back to life.

Moreover, after the nine reincarnation seals are combined, no one knows whether it is the person who achieved the initial state or the person who achieved the final state where the corpse became a spirit.

Everything is still just theoretical.

Therefore, when people want to embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world, their first attempt is usually the introductory level of the immortal transformation method in the mortal world, the Holy Spirit Transformation Method.

The long years can not only make up for the deficiencies in the Great Dao and the foundation of the Great Dao, but also make the path to immortality in the mortal world more stable.

Although everyone has heard about the path of the Nine Reincarnation Seal taken by the Underworld Lord and Lao Tzu, few people still dare to try it.

Because a Supreme Being actually tried it, and failed.

The corpses turned into zombies, causing a zombie calamity, which was then forcibly suppressed.

Those who attempt to follow the path of reincarnation and rebirth become even more cautious.

Duan De, who was undergoing his tribulation at that moment, was like a fish in water amidst the terrifying lightning.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Nether Treasure was flashing with countless Daoist runes and Immortal runes amidst the terrifying thunder.

In this world today, with the Overlord and the Undying Emperor, basically no one dares to court death or interfere with someone else's path to becoming an emperor.

Therefore, Tongtian Mingbao and Duan De were both undergoing their tribulations with peace of mind, without worrying about any unexpected events. They had been on guard, but ultimately trusted the character of Batian Zun and the Undying Emperor; no one dared to challenge their authority.

The Tongtian Mingbao, having endured countless ages and numerous celestial tribulations, has become increasingly mysterious and powerful.

Moreover, in each of his lifetimes, he would devour the new weapons forging the Dao created by the Underworld Lord.

Integrate the new material into your body, imprint countless mysterious Dao runes on it, and make yourself even stronger.

It can be said that there is a significant difference between weapons of True Immortal level and weapons of Mortal Immortal level.

It's really easy for a weapon of the Mortal Immortal level to shatter a weapon of the True Immortal level.

Although the Tongtian Mingbao is already a celestial artifact, it continues to evolve.

If we consider these nine lifetimes of mortal transformation as the nine transformations of a true immortal, then the Tongtian Mingbao will go further on the path of weaponry with each of Duan De's transformations.

Each time, it undergoes a change, becoming even more powerful.

The aura of the Heavenly Treasure and the Heavenly Tribulation intertwined, giving birth to strange rules of the Great Dao.

He was also constantly summoning and devouring the lightning.

It seems that Tongtian Mingbao and Duan De never had any contact after they separated in the original text.

Or, on the surface, they seem to have no connection whatsoever.

However, the Tongtian Mingbao in the original text did not evolve into a celestial artifact at the beginning, but only slowly evolved into a celestial artifact over a long period of time.

Moreover, his weapon deity was also extremely bold, actually leading a fusion experiment of chaotic monsters in the underworld.

Together with several other Dark Lords, they forcibly created a chaotic monster.

Although he didn't ultimately achieve immortality through chaos, he did spend some time merging with that chaotic monster.

However, the weapon deity of the Tongtian Mingbao was ultimately superior. After studying the Chaos Monster, seeing that the Chaos Monster was no match for Ye Fan from the future, he simply fled.

Moreover, because of his relationship with Duan De, Ye Fan did not kill him.

In the end, this Heavenly Treasure still fell into the hands of the joker.

While the Heavenly Nether Treasure may seem to have no connection with Duan De, it is very likely that they are secretly connected and have a tacit understanding.

Now, this Heavenly Nether Treasure has long since become a celestial artifact, openly and legitimately connecting with Duan De.

They would protect him from time to time, and their relationship was much closer than described in the original text.

Now, this Heavenly Nether Treasure has become increasingly mysterious and powerful, with many new immortal runes added to it, and its immortal aura has become even stronger.

Even the immortal aura flowing from it flowed into Duan De's body, allowing his body to become a true immortal-level treasure body ahead of others.

As the final bolt of lightning struck, all the lightning was devoured by the Tongtian Mingbao and Duan De.

Then, the heart imprint finally appeared.

As expected, Duan De did not merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Duan De's body burst forth with countless rays of light, and one after another, divine chains of the Great Dao Order flew out from the formation of Kunlun Mountain.

All the chains of divine order flew into Duan De's body, further enhancing his aura.

With a deafening roar, Duan De broke through the Heavenly Heart Mark and charged straight upwards.

That day, the mark of the heart was shattered into countless fragments, scattering everywhere.

Then came an even more terrifying thunderbolt.

Duan De and Tongtian Mingbao safely passed their tribulations amidst the thunder.

Duan De stood quietly in the void, above the Heavenly Heart Mark, the five secret realms perfectly intact, his whole body emanating an incomparably grand Dao Heavenly Sound.

People seemed to hear the sounds of countless living beings being sacrificed.

Everyone who heard it couldn't help but silently recite Duan De's honorable name.

One mysterious power after another emanated from the chanting, blessing Duan De and causing his body to emanate an aura of profound mystery.

The Immortal Emperor was astonished to discover that Du De's approach was truly outrageous.

They actually managed to transform that power of faith into the power of reincarnation.

He not only used it himself, but also gave it to the Tongtian Mingbao, showing no fear of the weaknesses in the power of faith.

The Heavenly Netherworld Treasure shone with dazzling immortal runes, suppressing all the myriad paths of heaven and earth beneath it.

The jet-black wheel hangs high above, at an infinite height.

The immortal laws emanating from it all told everyone that this immortal artifact had been upgraded again.

It has now become an even more powerful celestial artifact.

Countless astonishing phenomena swirled around.

Duan De's figure stood steadily on the Heavenly Heart Emergency, standing shoulder to shoulder with the figures of Ba Tian Di and Lao Tzu.

He forcefully imprinted his mark onto the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Countless showers of light, golden lotuses of the Great Dao, and gushing divine springs appeared throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The whole world became sacred and peaceful.

Duan De gained countless benefits, forcefully proclaimed himself Emperor, and rose above the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Then Duan De and Tongtian Mingbao disappeared.

This tribulation was entirely within Duan De's calculations.

The Heavenly Nether Treasure has become even more powerful.

With the help of the mysterious aura emanating from the Tongtian Mingbao, Duan De elevated this physical body from the Heavenly Emperor level to a true immortal body.

It can be said that Duan De had already taken the lead and possessed a physical body at the level of a true immortal.

Although the soul has not yet reached the level of a true immortal due to the connection between the corpse and the spirit in the cycle of reincarnation, as long as it continues to reincarnate, it will surely be able to reach the level of a true immortal in the next life.

Although it may only be achieved in the instant of death, it is still something to be proud of.

In each reincarnation, after the corpse becomes sentient, the soul becomes even stronger, all because the physical body also becomes stronger during each reincarnation.

The physical body and the primordial spirit are two separate entities, originating from the same source.

It's no wonder that they promote each other.

When the true Nine Reincarnation Seals are united, he will surely return against all odds.

At that time, our strength will experience a qualitative leap.

Now, a new reincarnation mark has appeared in Duan De's body, making him even more mysterious and powerful.

Although it will be a long time before the Nine Paths of Reincarnation Seal is fully integrated, Duan De is full of confidence in it.

Especially after learning that Ba Tianzun had become a true immortal in the mortal world, and that the Undying Emperor, although still in his eighth life, was already past his prime and could live out his ninth life at any time and become a true immortal in the mortal world, Duan De was deeply shocked.

He embarked on this path to immortality earlier and further than anyone else. Unexpectedly, the Overlord and the Undying Emperor had already achieved immortality in the mortal world.

With these two role models, Duan De's cultivation speed is now much faster than in the original text.

After all, the original text is like a headless fly, everything is theoretical.

He silently ventured into an unpredictable field, unsure of whether he would succeed.

Now, the Overlord has become a mortal immortal, just like a lighthouse, illuminating the path ahead for all the dark supreme beings.

All the great emperors and ancient kings had a role model.

The power of example is endless.

All the ancient emperors firmly believed that as long as they could embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world, they would surely be able to ascend to immortality in the mortal world just like the Overlord.

Yes, that's how confident the Great Emperors, Ancient Emperors, and Supreme Beings in the world of Shrouding the Heavens are.

Instead of saying you can't do it, talk about whether you have confidence and how strong that confidence is.

These tough guys, none of them were willing to admit they were weak. Even when they were beaten and running away with their heads in their hands, they refused to admit defeat and could not admit defeat.

How many people can rise again after their Dao heart is shattered, like the Great Emperor of Chaos?
In the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens, there is only the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

In this life, Duan De, with the help of the Tongtian Mingbao, successfully made his physical body take the lead and achieve immortality, which strengthened his confidence in his path to the Great Dao.

However, it's still uncertain whether allowing the physical body to ascend to immortality ahead of others is a good thing or a bad thing.

As for the power of the Nine Reincarnation Seal and its subsequent effects, it's really hard to say.

In the original text, the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, Ye Fan, and the Underworld Lord were the last four surviving immortals and the final victors. However, after entering the Immortal Realm, the Underworld Lord actually failed miserably.

By the time of the final battle at the Sacred Ruins, Ye Fan had already become a Sacrificial Dao, the Ruthless Great Emperor broke through to become a Sacrificial Dao on the eve of the battle, the Wushi Great Emperor died because he was covering the rear, wasting a long time, but still became the strongest Immortal Emperor, while the Underworld Venerable Duan De was only at the peak of the Dao Ancestor.

This made Xiao Ping'an wonder, when he read the original text, whether the path taken by the Underworld Lord was worthwhile.

There must be a reason for this.
