Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 288 The Road to Heaven is Blocked
This Phoenix Ancestor passed on all his cultivation experience and insights, as well as the cultivation systems he had acquired, to Xiao Ping'an.

This is something he collected from the heavens over countless millennia; for those who haven't entered the heavens, it's an absolutely invaluable treasure.

"Some of these cultivation systems come from the Dao Ancestor, and some come from the Immortal Emperor."

"Now that you've become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, you're qualified to gain a deeper understanding of these cultivation systems."

"The reason I didn't pass on these insights to you before was because I was worried that it would interfere with your original path of enlightenment."

In addition, this Phoenix Ancestor also taught Xiao Ping'an the spacetime coordinates for entering the heavens.

Looking at so many cultivation systems and spacetime coordinates, Xiao Ping'an was full of confidence.

He felt it was time to enter into the heavens.

There are countless cultivation systems and countless powerful races there; only there can one make faster progress in cultivation.

Although this Phoenix Ancestor has obtained many cultivation systems, there are still many things that are kept secret and cannot be seen by him.

Only by experiencing it firsthand and fighting against others can one truly understand the profound mysteries of the Dao.

Only through battle can you become a stronger version of yourself.

Then Xiao Ping'an began his enlightenment and cultivation here, wanting to find something that could help him advance further.

He thoroughly stabilized his realm and carefully studied almost all the scriptures, which took him hundreds of thousands of years.

His aura grew stronger and stronger.

Rumble.

Xiao Ping'an flowed along the long river of time, rushing downstream.

He's going back; he's leaving this era.

On the waves of this long river of time, he saw heroes who shone brightly throughout the era, and he also saw pollution and the black fog that permeated the entire era.

He walked alone quietly along the river of time.

He made a copy of these spiritual experiences and insights, and placed them on the river of time, sealing them away with his own unique imprint.

This is what he left for the Chaos Celestial Venerable and the Undying Emperor, hoping that they would receive this great gift after their cultivation was sufficient.

Then he strode out, tearing through the long river of time.

Flying towards the time and space coordinates of the heavens.

He quickly crossed the Boundary Sea and traveled to a world beyond.

Along the way, he encountered countless dark and bizarre substances and witnessed one dark immortal king after another.

He killed it with a casual gesture.

Until one day, he encountered a Dark Immortal King with a rather peculiar aura. If the information provided by the Phoenix Ancestor was correct, that Dark Immortal King should have come from the Ancient Underworld, and he exuded the unique aura of the Ancient Underworld.

The Dark Immortal King, his eyes filled with terrifying killing intent, unleashed an incomparably powerful dark force. He showed no fear whatsoever towards Xiao Ping'an, a quasi-Immortal Emperor, and took the initiative to attack.

Xiao Ping'an blew him apart with a single punch.

A deafening roar was heard, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split apart, shattering the entire universe.

Even if that Dark Immortal King has the Immortal King Shield and armor, what good is it if he goes all out?
Compared to Xiao Ping'an, who had become a quasi-Immortal Emperor or even a Dao Ancestor, they were truly no match.

The Dark Immortal King exploded in a bang, and a wisp of primordial spirit fire flew out—it was the Dark Immortal King's primordial spirit.

Xiao Ping'an waved his hand and directly grabbed the primordial spirit.

Then he began searching souls, trying to obtain something.

He found it strange that there were so many Dark Immortal Kings on the path to the heavens.

A strange fluctuation arose. In the instant that the Dark Immortal King's primordial spirit was completely obliterated, black hole ripples seemed to appear in the void.

The black hole grew larger and larger, and the ripples of the Great Dao became stronger and stronger, eventually creating a new spacetime passage.

Xiao Pingan could vaguely see that on the other side of the passage were caves exuding a dark aura, and he didn't know where they led.

"The aura of the underworld!"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ping'an took the urn of ashes and entered the space-time tunnel, rushing towards the so-called ancient underworld.

As one of the four bridgeheads for the Dark Clan's attack on the myriad realms of the Upper Heaven River, the passage of the Ancient Underworld has actually been opened here. No wonder there are so many Dark Immortal Kings blocking the way.

Just after Xiao Ping'an entered the ancient underworld, terrifying roars came from the cave, as if countless souls were screaming in terror or wailing in agony.

Countless souls that had been reincarnating in the ancient underworld rose into the sky, blotting out the sun.

The aura of reincarnation seemed to reverse time here, as if it had reincarnated hundreds of times in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ping'an let out a cold snort and immediately suppressed this power of reincarnation. His aura, at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, spread everywhere, instantly suppressing the terrifying wailing and howling.

In an instant, the entire ancient underworld fell silent, as if the terrifying roar from before had been an illusion.

But the next moment, the entire ancient underworld was in an uproar.

Countless terrifying auras seemed to awaken, the Great Dao rippled, surging like waves, and even more soul power fell from the void like raindrops.

This soul power is very peculiar, as if it comes from the deepest part of the underworld. It is like matter, yet also like divine power, seemingly constantly shifting between illusion and reality.

That terrifying rain of souls, carrying wisps of reincarnation power, possessed a peculiar corrosive force, swirling around Xiao Ping'an.

Each raindrop is like a powerful, endless creature.

Even the dust on the ground here, every single grain of dust is the manifestation of a powerful soul, and countless souls, densely packed and obscuring the sky, rushed towards Xiao Ping'an.

Xiao Ping'an walked forward in the cave of the underworld, letting the power of the soul corrode him, but it could not do anything to him.

With an urn in hand, no matter how powerful the so-called soul is, it can't be destroyed.

Rumble.

The eerie fluctuations in the underworld grew increasingly terrifying, as if countless demons and monsters had been born, all tainted with strange substances, seemingly spanning the past and future.

There was an even more bizarre power in the void, constantly corroding Xiao Ping'an's primordial spirit fire, trying to completely obliterate him.

Xiao Ping'an emanated the light of a quasi-immortal emperor, impervious to all laws and blocking all demons and monsters.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, click-click.

The terrifying rain of souls fell on Xiao Ping'an, but was instantly repelled and obliterated.

The light of the soul and the essence of blood within those raindrops vanished completely.

Countless souls seemed to be ignited, burning fiercely until they were completely extinguished.

These so-called powerful souls were no match for Xiao Ping'an.

He continued forward, traversing the blood-stained red cave, surrounded by eerie black matter and mist, yet he remained fearless.

The aura emanating from the cave ahead had a chilling feel to it.

The once desolate underworld was suddenly swept by a black whirlwind, swirling up a sky full of blood-red sand, making it appear extremely eerie.

At the same time, the black mist, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sun, enveloped everything once more.

The entire underworld seemed to be awakening once again.

He heard the sound of chains being dragged from the depths of the underworld cave, as if some terrible monster was about to break free.

With a deafening roar, a violent wind of souls raged, and the entire underworld seemed to erupt in chaos.

Endless cries, wails, roars, and all sorts of negative sounds and emotions rushed towards us.

An eerie aura emanated from the depths, like the prelude to a funeral procession, guiding countless souls into the cycle of reincarnation.

Accompanied by eerie sounds of soul burial, countless souls seemed to be completely transformed into a rain of light and utterly annihilated.

"The underworld is everyone's final destination..."

A faint, indistinct voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.

It sounded like a spell, with ancient syllables, in an unrecognizable ancient language.

The language seemed to carry a mysterious curse, and everyone who heard it felt as if they were cursed.

This incantation transcends the realm of language, words, and the soul; it can strike directly at the heart in the form of the great principles of the universe.

The caves of this underworld seemed endless, eerie sounds and curses echoed here, black aura permeated the air, and scarlet blood seemed to be flowing, the eerie atmosphere slowly manifesting itself.

Xiao Ping'an roared, shaking the entire underworld.

He threw a punch directly in front of him.

The three supreme laws erupted, and countless densely packed Dao runes shot out, resembling three blazing suns. These suns crashed and raged throughout the underworld, instantly turning countless souls into ashes.

Xiao Ping'an became increasingly familiar with and powerful in applying the three supreme laws.

Incidentally, he also raised the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques he had mastered to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

As his three supreme laws circulated, countless souls in the underworld were reduced to ashes.

Countless powerful monsters were also dragged out from the shadows.

A burst of crimson light erupted, and monsters that seemed to be formed from blood appeared.

Every monster looked incredibly Cthulhu-like, beyond description.

It had extra legs, scales, fur, and several eyes; it looked very strange no matter how you looked at it.

None of the creatures resembled normal shapes; they seemed to be a fusion of countless creatures gathered together, and then undergoing a peculiar mutation.

These monsters in the underworld are truly peculiar; they must be defective products that couldn't withstand those dark and eerie substances.

Because the higher the level of the strange creature, the more likely it is to have a human-shaped body.

He watched as one monster after another, all at the level of a Celestial King, appeared, and with a mere snort, he blasted each and every Dark Celestial King to pieces.

A monster roared, its body emanating a dense and incredibly eerie black substance, and surged up like a great river.

The other monsters were the same; regardless of their level, they showed no fear towards Xiao Ping'an, who was at the Immortal Emperor level.

Xiao Ping'an waved his hand, and endless flames covered the sky, as if setting the place ablaze.

This is one of the Phoenix Treasure Techniques he comprehended when he possessed the body of the Primordial Phoenix.

This flame was filled with endless Dao runes, as if turning this place into a crematorium.

Just as these monsters were being judged, all the Dark Celestial Kings were drawn into this furnace.

The countless dark and eerie substances turned to ashes in the blink of an eye when faced with the raging flames.

None of these terrifying creatures could even withstand a single blow from Xiao Ping'an.

Even if they all attacked together, it wouldn't work.

Even though they had reached the peak of the Dark Immortal King realm, they were still no match for Xiao Ping'an.

After the entire underworld was attacked by Xiao Ping'an, one ancient underworld path after another seemed to be interrupted. Souls that had just arrived here were evaporated before they even had a chance to transform.

These are souls summoned from some unknown world by a strange race. The original plan was to cast them into the underworld for reincarnation and then use them to create more powerful and bizarre beings.

These souls were extremely precious and powerful, yet Xiao Ping'an cremated them with ease.

The entire underworld was ablaze. Although the size of the underworld was unknown, Xiao Ping'an was able to ignite the phoenix fire in every part of the ancient underworld he could explore.

The underworld, which was originally dark and eerie, was now bathed in sunlight, as if all the moldy places had been illuminated.

One mysterious portal after another opened, all of them violently opened after being scorched and destroyed by flames.

You can see one after another dark immortal kings there who have not yet completed their transformation.

And the dark souls that were born one after another.

They all turned to ashes in the flames.

"court death"!
"How dare you trespass into our ancient underworld!"

Not long after, an earth-shattering aura finally erupted from the ancient underworld.

A deafening roar, accompanied by endless Dao runes, eerie aura, and black mist, extinguished one terrifying flame after another like a violent storm.

That terrifying and bizarre power emerged in a mighty torrent, and it was indeed a bizarre power at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

A Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor has appeared.

The dark quasi-immortal emperor lurking in the deepest part of the ancient underworld was finally alerted.

Click click click.

One section of the underworld after another collapsed, the void collapsed, and then, as if reshaped, it once again became that eerie red cave.

Then the cave exploded, as if it had transformed into another world.

A red sky, a red earth, a crimson void.

Blood-red rivers even flowed across the land.

The sights in the underworld are astonishing.

Like a battle fortress, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor tore open the passage to this ancient underworld in the blink of an eye, as if this were a battlefield carefully prepared by the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor for his battle with Xiao Ping'an.

This Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor's power was indeed formidable; his strange Dao Laws stirred up an endless black storm that swept across the area.

Seeing the changes here, Xiao Ping'an immediately took action.

Since this is the ancient underworld's war fortress, he will naturally not be polite and will destroy it as much as possible.

He would not allow this place to become a bridgehead for the slaughter of all the heavens and the realms above.

The Great Crimson Heavenly Blade appeared, and a crimson light shot out, sweeping everything away, as if slicing the entire ancient underworld in two.

A crimson light streaked across the underworld, instantly slicing countless souls in two.

The clanging sound of the Heavenly Blade seemed capable of destroying all obstacles.

The countless terrifying Dao runes of that Quasi-Immortal Emperor were shattered by the Great Crimson Heaven Blade.

Now, Xiao Ping'an's Overlord Bell and Great Crimson Heaven Blade have merged into one; the bell is the blade, and the blade is the bell, and they can switch between them at will.

Moreover, it contains countless treasures, making it an absolutely incredible weapon among quasi-immortal emperor level artifacts.

Infinitely close to the legendary Immortal Emperor's weapon.

Now that it had become a quasi-immortal emperor's weapon, it shone with its due brilliance for the first time, directly stabbing that dark quasi-immortal emperor in the back.

A shrill roar was heard, and a gigantic black figure let out a shrill roar.

The crimson light surged.

The black figure also erupted in a frenzy, as if it were engulfed in flames, and countless storms of laws rushed toward Xiao Ping'an.

That Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor directly mobilized the power of the Ancient Underworld, clearly knowing that he alone could not contend with Xiao Ping'an.

This ancient underworld contains power accumulated over countless millennia, its power is truly terrifying. Time and space seem to have been erased, as if it has pierced through the long river of time and attacked Xiao Ping'an.

"Human, you are seeking death!"

The dark figure suddenly opened its eyes, as if two enormous blood-red suns had appeared.

His jet-black palms slowly slapped forward, one palm after another, layer upon layer.

Even more strange black matter, as if boiling, swept towards Xiao Ping'an.

That was a dark and eerie substance at the level of a quasi-immortal emperor.

In a daze, the black, eerie preservative substance surged and roared like a river, with countless souls pouring into it to become nourishment, making the river even stronger.

Those handprints, one after another, contain the power to destroy the world and the cycle of reincarnation.

Looking at this Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Xiao Ping'an felt no fear whatsoever and remained extremely relaxed.

As he stretched out his large hand, a purple light shot into the sky and struck the black hand directly.

With a deafening roar, the earth-shattering collision obliterated a large portion of the ancient underworld, shaking the entire region.

Mysterious places were being shattered one after another, and terrifying storms of laws were raging everywhere.

The ancient underworld, which had just been restored, was instantly reduced to ashes.

This ancient underworld is no ordinary place. In addition to quasi-immortal emperors, there are even immortal emperors who have been stationed here and have personally reinforced this place.

But now, it seems that none of this has worked, and large swathes of the ancient underworld have been shattered.

The clash between quasi-immortal emperors spanned the past, present, and future, tearing apart the river of time.

Xiao Ping'an remained completely unmoved and unharmed. The place where he stood seemed to have transformed into an eternal land, a supreme pure land, where the strange substances and strange laws outside could not harm him.

The Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, however, was sent flying backwards and exploded with a bang.

He tried his best to recover, but his body still shattered several times.

Black blood flowed everywhere, and bone fragments flew everywhere.
