Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 248 The Contamination of the Cultivation System, the Terrifying Gaze of the Immortal Emperor
After carefully contemplating the matter, Xiao Ping'an took a step forward, stepping once again into the river of time, and continued his journey.

When he emerged from the river of time once again, he discovered that it was a very special kind of chaos.

In this boundless, chaotic sea, he continued forward, feeling an increasingly terrifying sense of oppression.

Not long after, the terrible chaos seemed to have been dyed as black as ink.

Xiao Ping'an sensed an incredibly dense and eerie dark substance here.

"How could there be so much dark and eerie substance here?"

Where have I come to?

After careful deduction, Xiao Ping'an discovered that this place should be an alien realm, but he didn't know which era it was from. He roughly deduced that it should be in the Immortal Ancient Era or even earlier.

He continued onward, and soon, amidst the pitch-black, chaotic sea, he saw glimmers of green light, occasionally bursting forth with a burst of brilliance.

Seeing that strange creatures seemed to have appeared in the polluted chaos, he immediately became more vigilant.

The creatures that appear here are definitely not good.

He continued onward and soon discovered that a corrupted immortal king appeared ahead.

That green glow was the blood gushing from his body, green blood.

Soon, in that black, chaotic sea, he found a monster covered in green fur, shrouded in pitch-black mist, extremely frenzied, clearly having lost its mind.

When Xiao Pingan discovered him, he had obviously also discovered Xiao Pingan.

The green-haired monster roared and charged at Xiao Ping'an.

That was a Celestial King who had been corrupted by dark and eerie substances. Before being corrupted, he should have been a powerful Celestial King, but unfortunately, he had completely lost his mind and his body was filled with only that eerie dark aura.

Xiao Pingan cautiously threw a punch, and soon realized that the monster was fighting on instinct and had not truly unleashed its full strength.

The monster's green fur suddenly transformed into dazzling green flames, which burned towards Xiao Ping'an.

Xiao Ping'an acted decisively, defeating the monster in just two moves.

Monsters without reason are no match for Xiao Ping'an.

Despite his struggles and resistance, it was all in vain.

He was quickly brought under Xiao Ping'an's firm control.

Xiao Ping'an separated his body parts and carefully examined everything inside.

Subsequently, the Great Dao Laws within Xiao Ping'an's body surged, operating the method to expel and refine that strange substance at the Immortal King level.

Within the monster's body, countless black mists were expelled, and the dark, eerie substances that had almost merged with its body were refined by it.

As Xiao Ping'an purified the monster's body, the monster seemed to regain its senses.

"Kill me now!"

Seemingly regaining a little of his senses, the madness in the monster's eyes lessened, and he even begged Xiao Ping'an to kill him quickly.

"He's regained his senses?" Xiao Ping'an was surprised to see that he could actually communicate, and the two of them had a careful exchange.

Subsequently, Xiao Ping'an increased the speed at which he refined the strange substance, continuing to frantically refine the dark and strange substance in the person's body.

As Xiao Ping'an evolved faster and refined more and more, the monster became more and more lucid.

He shook his head and said, "What you're doing is useless; it's just a waste of effort."

"Even if these strange substances are all refined, they will inexplicably reappear."

“Those who helped me have been corrupted by me, or killed by me.”

"I'm guilty!"

"Only by killing me as soon as possible can all this end."

Xiao Pingan continued to examine the man's body. After he had almost finished cleaning up all the strange substances, a scene that shocked him suddenly appeared.

"What's this..."

While refining the dark and strange substance, Xiao Ping'an also devoted himself to exploring its source, trying to find out where the dark and strange substance in this person's body came from.

But as he continued to investigate and deduce, he was surprised to discover that these dark and strange substances, besides being constantly generated by the monster, also seemed to have a special channel connecting to the monster's body.

"This passage..." Xiao Ping'an was also shocked.

"No wonder we couldn't completely remove this person's pollution. It turns out there's this mysterious spacetime tunnel that continuously transports strange substances through it."

"No wonder they couldn't completely eliminate it no matter how they tried to purify it; it turns out there's a spacetime tunnel connecting them."

It seems that this monster was ambushed and subjected to all sorts of bizarre and unbelievable methods without its knowledge.

"Where does this passage lead?"

Xiao Ping'an was puzzled, and then, under the protection of the urn, he began to explore and sense this passage.

This is a special passage that even this monster cannot detect, but for some reason, Xiao Ping'an can sense it.

That feeling of something almost nonexistent, so unreal, yet somehow real.

If you look along that passage, you can see at the other end some crystal-clear, dazzling, and incomparably sacred substances.

Xiao Ping'an was taken aback; there was an even higher level of dark and eerie substance over there.

The high-level, dark, and eerie substance, like a sacred relic, made the entire passage sacred and peaceful.

This sacred and peaceful thing is actually a more terrifying, dark, and eerie substance.

Fortunately, Xiao Ping'an was protected by the urn containing his ashes, so he didn't have to bear the pressure of facing the dark source of matter directly.

This dark and eerie substance is terrifying; no wonder the Celestial King couldn't withstand it.

Dark and eerie substances are the most coveted sacred substances for those strange creatures.

Even to the strong who have not fallen into darkness, it is still dazzling and radiant.

However, Xiao Ping'an, who had read the trilogy, knew all too well that the more sacred a strange substance appeared, the more terrifying it was.

That should be at least a strange substance at the level of a quasi-immortal emperor.

Unexpectedly, the thing this passage connects to is just like that legendary ancient artifact, so terrifying.

Under the protection of the urn, Xiao Ping'an continued to perceive this dreamlike passage.

The further we went, the more terrifying that aura became.

At the same time, it felt very strange.

It felt as if I had traversed countless times and spaces, as if I had entered an indescribable place, neither a real world nor a fantasy world.

That peculiar, eerie aura was extremely terrifying.

"Ancient Underworld? River of Souls? Floating Soil of the Four Extremes? Burial Pit of the Heavenly Emperor?"

One terrifying name after another flashed through Xiao Ping'an's mind, wondering where this place led.

He continued onward, believing in the hidden power of the urn that could protect him.

The increasingly bizarre and terrifying laws of the Great Dao permeated this place, but no matter what level of law it was, it would inexplicably disappear when it encountered the faint light of the urn, and would not harm Xiao Ping'an.

Finally, it seemed we were about to reach the end of that passage.

Xiao Ping'an sensed that it was an ancient and mysterious place.

It exudes a strange aura that doesn't belong to this world, as if it transcends all realms and the long river of time, as if it lies hidden in the past, present, and future.

That desolate, ancient, dark, and eerie atmosphere was truly terrifying.

A grand sacrificial chant arose, and one broken scene after another flashed before our eyes.

He soon discovered that drops of black blood were falling onto the altar.

The aura of black blood is extremely terrifying.

"Could this be the black blood that contaminated the Corpse Immortal Emperor?"

Even with the urn blocking his view, Xiao Ping'an still felt waves of horror as he sensed that terrifying aura.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xiao Ping'an's mind, and he sensed that something terrible was about to happen, as if some terrifying creature was about to be awakened.

Xiao Ping'an immediately took the urn and left. Before leaving, he vaguely saw a pair of terrifying eyes awaken and search continuously.

Then, all the images and channels became disordered.

Xiao Ping'an, returning from the passage, felt his soul still trembling. From those terrifying eyes, he sensed a life-or-death crisis.

That terrifying aura seemed to pierce through the past, present, and future, even scanning along this illusory spacetime passage.

Just a glimpse of those eyes out of the corner of my eye made me tremble uncontrollably.

It took Xiao Ping'an a long time to completely erase that terrifying pressure, even using an urn.

As the faint light emanating from the urn gradually faded, Xiao Ping'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if waking from a dream, or recovering from a serious illness.

Fortunately, the urn concealed the truth, otherwise things would have been terrible.

Xiao Ping'an deduced that the guy was probably not just a quasi-Immortal Emperor, but very likely an Immortal Emperor.

Because he has now given birth to the light of a quasi-immortal emperor, he has a certain understanding of the strength of a quasi-immortal emperor.

However, that terrifying, irresistible aura made him certain that it was definitely a Dark Immortal Emperor.

Xiao Ping'an continued to look at the monster in front of him. He noticed that after he came out of the passage, the dark and eerie substance on the monster's body seemed to have completely disappeared.

The passage gradually became blurry and eventually disappeared completely, becoming undetectable.

After some deduction, Xiao Ping'an was surprised to find that the reason why this monster was corrupted seemed to be related to the cultivation techniques and secret arts he practiced.

"Is the entire cultivation system corrupted?" Xiao Ping'an said to the monster, "The cultivation techniques and secret arts you practice come from a special cultivation system, and the entire cultivation path you've taken has been corrupted."

After examining the monster carefully again, Xiao Ping'an spoke to it with a solemn expression.

"The cultivation system is corrupted?" The monster was also taken aback: "The entire cultivation system can be corrupted?"

Xiao Ping'an nodded: "That's right. This terrifying, dark, and bizarre creature possesses a special method that can corrupt the entire cultivation system. All those who cultivate this thing, all those who practice this method, will be forever plunged into darkness." Xiao Ping'an said.

"So the entire path of cultivation has been corrupted! No wonder all my relatives, friends, descendants and grandchildren have died or been injured!"

"what..."

The monster let out a series of shrill roars.

"Dark and eerie, you are all too ruthless, too vicious."

"If this entire path of cultivation and evolution is corrupted, won't all the people on this path die out, or turn into monsters?"

After some deduction, the monster suddenly became extremely distressed and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

“I have also experienced the corruption of darkness, but I withstood the attack and found a way to deal with the eeriness of darkness.”

“But my cultivation system is different from yours. The originators of your cultivation path have been corrupted, making it almost impossible to solve the problems of this path.”

"Unless you can cultivate to the same level as that founder, or even surpass that founder, and become the Dao Ancestor of this path of cultivation and evolution, you will have no chance to escape this dark corruption."

"what?"

"How can this be!"

The monster was shocked that Xiao Ping'an, who had also been corrupted, was able to break free from the darkness.

He also believed that it was impossible for him to reach the level of the founder of this path of cultivation, at least he didn't have the time.

"If I really had that talent, and could find another way to open up a new path on this evolutionary path, then I would have already broken through the King and become an Emperor, and become the Dao Ancestor."

"Now that I have cultivated to this level, I have reached the pinnacle of my cultivation, and I see no hope of progressing further."

"I just hope I die quickly so as not to pollute any more alien geniuses."

This place truly is a foreign land, and it was a foreign land right after the world was first polluted.

It seems that their war with the Immortal Realm was not something they wanted to start.

Instead, it was only after being replaced by that dark and eerie consciousness that it took the initiative to attack the Immortal Realm.

No wonder the great war between the Immortal Realm and the Other Realm in the original text was so inexplicable. If it were just about competing for resources, that would be one thing, but in the original text it was portrayed as pure killing for the sake of killing.

If we look at it from the perspective of polluting more places and more lives, then everything makes sense.

With Xiao Ping'an's current strength, he could kill this Immortal King giant in just three or five moves.

If this person were at the peak of the Immortal King realm, it would take Xiao Ping'an considerable effort to kill him.

However, it is clear that this person has suffered serious damage under the influence of this darkness.

When were you contaminated by this dark and eerie substance?

Why are there so many dark and eerie substances here?

When did these dark and eerie substances appear?

Xiao Pingan had countless questions he wanted to ask.

However, the monster's eyes were vacant, as if it had lost most of its memories, not knowing how it got here or when it was corrupted.

His thoughts seemed to have fallen into chaos, and his speech became incoherent, as if the dark and eerie substance was a strange restriction preventing him from revealing the whole truth.

Suddenly, the monster's body began to emit an incredibly dense and eerie dark substance again.

The dark, eerie substance was impossible to clean up, and the man's gaze turned crazed again.

It grew increasingly crimson, and its gaze toward Xiao Ping'an became more and more vicious.

"Kill... I'll kill you..."

As the aura of this person grew increasingly eerie and the killing intent intensified, a strange consciousness that had arisen within his body suddenly emerged and took control of the person's body.

It had clearly devoured the last wisp of this person's will, completely transforming him into a dark and eerie creature.

Looking at the monster that had transformed into a dark immortal king, Xiao Ping'an raised the urn and smashed it down.

Xiao Ping'an knew he couldn't save him, since he wasn't from this era, and whether he saved him or not would have a huge impact.

To eliminate this influence, one must use a precious object like an urn, which can erase all cause and effect and conceal all traces of life.

The Desolate Emperor saved Huo Ling'er and the corrupted Meng Tianzheng back then, but he only did so when he became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even an Immortal Emperor.

With Xiao Ping'an's current strength, he simply cannot save this immortal king from another realm.

Xiao Ping'an looked at the corrupted immortal king from another realm and smashed a can down on him.

"Thank you for freeing me!"

Before utter destruction, this person seemed to regain his senses for the last time, expressing his gratitude to Xiao Ping'an.

Then it turned to ashes completely, leaving no trace.

Xiao Ping'an used the urn to erase all traces of his ashes before leaving.

"Dark matter is truly terrifying; this pollution is pervasive."

"No wonder the ancestors of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor were misunderstood when they killed those corrupted Immortal Kings..."

"Not killing them will allow more people to become polluted, but killing them will only lead to misunderstandings. It's just too difficult."

"Especially when it comes to brothers who fought alongside you, it's hard to bring yourself to kill them..."

How was this immortal king from another realm corrupted? Was he deliberately targeted and assassinated by the powerful members of that strange race? Or was he just an unlucky soul who was randomly corrupted?
And what about the eyes of that Immortal Emperor? Was it the Dark Immortal Emperor or the corrupted Corpse Immortal Emperor?

Xiao Ping'an was completely baffled and continued to wander in this foreign land.

This area has been completely corrupted by terrifying, dark, and eerie substances, and there is no normal living being to be found there.

He ignored the weaker, ordinary dark creatures and continued on his way.

After leaving one chaotic sea, they encountered another polluted chaotic sea, which was still dyed as black as ink.

Especially that dark and eerie substance, which seemed to be even more advanced and more concentrated.

One terrifying storm of laws after another swept through the chaos, stirring up towering waves in the chaotic sea.

Xiao Ping'an was extremely surprised as he looked at the terrifying and bizarre storm of laws and the countless Dao runes flashing on it.

Because within these shimmering Dao runes, he sensed runes at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. The aura of these runes was exactly the same as that of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's light, surpassing even the Immortal King level.

Xiao Ping'an was also taken aback.

In this era, the quasi-immortal emperors in the entire world should be the world-destroying old man, Cang Emperor, Hong Emperor, and Yu Emperor on the other side of the near sea. This time, which quasi-immortal emperor was responsible for polluting the alien realm?
Or was it the Corpse Immortal Emperor behind it who personally orchestrated this?

This incredibly violent storm of laws was truly astonishing. If Xiao Ping'an hadn't had the urn of ashes in his possession, he probably would have escaped long ago.
