Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 367 The Four Giants of the Underworld

Thanks to the efforts of Xiao Ping'an and the Undying Emperor, the World Tree in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has now been restored to its original state.

It incorporates the celestial imprint of the world and carries the myriad laws of heaven and earth.

All those who attain enlightenment and become emperors will cultivate and seek enlightenment on this World Tree.

Gaining the World Tree's approval means possessing the true power of an ancient emperor.

Once you survive the Heavenly Tribulation, you can truly attain the Dao and become an Emperor.

There are no longer any limits on the number of places available worldwide.

In this era, the children of various ancient emperors and sovereigns are also beginning to emerge and continuously cultivate and experience.

There are far more emperors and ancient rulers in this world than in the original text.

One reason is that many incompetent emperors have emerged throughout history, and another is that in Ye Fan's era, numerous peerless geniuses have also attained the Dao and become emperors.

Although the invasion of darkness caused heavy losses, many of the children of the ancient emperors and kings still survived.

Their descendants, the great emperors and ancient sovereigns, also began to attain the Dao and become emperors one after another.

The cultivation practices throughout the world seemed largely unaffected by the dark turmoil.

On the contrary, due to the blessing of the Celestial King, many peerless geniuses were born and began to grow rapidly.

It is conceivable that within the next tens of thousands of years, many people will be able to attain the Dao and become emperors, making up for the loss of those supreme powerhouses.

Yes, thousands of years is enough time for those mortals to regain their vitality.

However, those rare high-end combat forces cannot be replenished in a short period of time; this is what requires the most time to accumulate.

Many ancient emperors and kings, as well as many others, desperately sought to live a new life by relying on those dark and eerie substances.

Yes, this dark and eerie substance has countless harmful effects.

However, if one is truly fortunate enough, one can indeed live a new life using this strange substance.

If you can get through this, it can really transform your body.

The ancient road to the starry sky is becoming more and more prosperous.

More and more powerful individuals have embarked on the ancient path through the starry sky.

Many people also entered the mythical battlefield, where they constantly honed their skills.

. . .

Within the nine heavens and ten earths.

In a sparsely populated part of the universe, there lies the underworld.

In the endless void, a pitch-black continent suddenly appeared, floating and sinking in the endless chaos.

Because of the invasion of darkness and eeriness, the underworld has become extremely terrifying. The extremely dense aura of death and darkness, after combining with the dark and eeriness, is as if it has been activated.

The underworld at this time was completely different from before, as if it had truly become a dark place.

The Underworld was originally a fragment of the Burial Domain that fell from the Immortal Realm. It was a special place formed after the land was once polluted by darkness and evil, and it underwent a transformation and sublimation.

Now, dark and eerie substances are once again invading this land, making the underworld even more bizarre and terrifying.

It seems to have undergone another transformation and upgrade.

This infamous forbidden zone for life existed even before the age of mythology.

Since it fell into Xiao Ping'an's hands, it has continued from the end of the mythical era to the present day, and has even become an important training ground on the ancient star road.

When the dark and eerie forces invaded, the Underworld was a special case, so it was also targeted by the Fallen True Immortals and Fallen Supreme Beings.

There are also quite a few of those dark and eerie substances scattered here.

Despite the fact that the ancient emperors of the underworld have undergone many transformations and many people are asleep here, the result of the battle was still extremely tragic.

The immortal artifact left behind by Xiao Ping'an was also shattered.

More than a dozen ancient emperors who were sleeping in the underworld died on the battlefield.

The entire underworld was almost destroyed.

Normally, the underworld that was invaded should have been destroyed, or at least it would have taken a very long time to recover.

Surprisingly, the underworld, invaded by that dark and eerie substance, was not destroyed. Instead, it used the substance as nourishment and a resource for further transformation and sublimation.

Although the price was making the Underworld even more terrifying, it did indeed undergo another transformation and sublimation, becoming a divine land for cultivation and training.

Some kinds of Reincarnation Soil and Soil of All Things have even been created, allowing people to practice the Burial Method here.

After this great battle, many powerful beings, corrupted by the pollution, were buried in this land to undergo transformation.

Xiao Ping'an hoped that they, like the Burial King and the Golden Burial Warrior in the burial ground, could break free from the invasion of darkness and strangeness and return against the heavens.

After all, those powerful figures in the Burial Domain were corrupted in the first place.

Normally, he should have been corrupted and become like an immortal king in another realm, falling into darkness.

But they ultimately succeeded in their transformation. Instead of becoming immortal kings of another realm, they became the legendary and unique Burial Kings.

In this underworld, Xiao Ping'an and the Undying Emperor have made some arrangements to prevent these failed dark creatures from escaping and harming all living beings.

Blah blah blah.

The Yellow Springs River roars and surges through the underworld, its mysterious aura constantly nourishing countless creatures of the netherworld.

If you keep following the Yellow Springs water, you will soon reach the source of the Yellow Springs.

The Yellow Springs are the very foundation of the underworld.

It is also the most central place in the underworld.

Rumble.

The Yellow Springs had merged with the entire underworld, and for millions of years, an endless stream of Yellow Springs water had been flowing out.

The water flowing from the Yellow Springs is like melted divine essence, radiating a vibrant power that nourishes the Yin soldiers and generals, as well as numerous other creatures of the underworld.

In the Yellow Springs, there is a very special world, which was not created by Xiao Ping'an, but was born naturally.

In that mysterious world, a rich and pure dark and eerie substance flowed, emitting extremely terrifying and eerie fluctuations.

In the area where the eerie substance was most concentrated, many corpses could be seen lying there.

Each one was buried in a coffin, which contained a thick layer of earth.

Who would have thought that so many corpses of degenerate creatures would be buried here, waiting to be transformed?

Moreover, the Yellow Springs is so mysterious.

Within these countless terrifying, dark, and bizarre substances, astonishing fluctuations of the Great Dao emanate, possibly from fallen True Immortals or fallen Supreme Beings.

These are not the fallen true immortals and fallen supreme beings brought by An Lan, Yu Tuo, and others, but rather the corrupted beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or the Immortal Realm.

After the invaders were wiped out, how to deal with these corrupted creatures became a problem.

After all, it's easy to kill, but difficult to save.

Xiao Ping'an originally intended to cut the Gordian knot, eliminate all the strange substances, and also destroy those corrupted creatures.

However, after experiencing the miraculous transformation in the underworld, he found a more reliable solution.

It means burying them in the underworld, waiting for them to transform and be reborn.

The strange substances in the underworld are now so concentrated and pure that if they were to leak out, it would surely cause boundless disaster.

Fortunately, Xiao Ping'an personally arranged a supreme array at the Dao Ancestor level, completely isolating these dark and strange substances at the Immortal King level, absolutely preventing them from affecting and polluting the outside world.

Not only is it forbidden to pollute the underworld, but it is also forbidden to pollute the outside world.

In that Yellow Springs, countless rich and pure spring waters flow out, crystal clear and full of life.

The world in the underworld consumed most of the life essence, nourishing one corrupted and fallen powerhouse after another.

Some people were relatively intact, but many more had broken bodies, covered with countless wounds from the Great Dao, and were polluted and corroded by strange substances. Their bodies emitted black mist or flowed with black blood, making them look extremely creepy.

The most eye-catching of these is undoubtedly a corrupted, ancient sacred body.

He has been buried here for thousands of years; his primordial spirit has fallen into oblivion, and his body has lost all vitality.

The incredibly dense, dark, and eerie substance within the body has firmly taken hold, relentlessly corroding every single cell. Without external interference, this body, like any other, might remain dormant for decades, millions, or even tens of millions of years before finally awakening.

Surprisingly, the body underwent a remarkable change just five thousand years after being buried.

Rumble.

From the body of that ancient holy body came a deafening thunderous sound, and even the roar of heaven and earth.

Countless dark and eerie substances emanated from his body, black mist erupted, and black blood flowed.

That eerie and ominous aura of the Great Dao was so astonishing, as if a corrupted, dark, and fallen being was about to awaken and rush out to wreak havoc.

The terrifying fluctuations of the Great Dao relentlessly assaulted the surrounding formations, as if they wouldn't stop until they broke through them.

buzzing.

Countless mysterious runes appeared, emanating a supreme aura of the Great Dao, and endless divine light shone forth, sacred and peaceful, firmly controlling everything there. All the strange substances and mist were obliterated by that mysterious aura.

Despite the countless strange substances bursting forth and surging wildly, they could not break through the mysterious rune defenses here.

Seemingly sensing that eerie and terrifying aura, many of the ghostly soldiers and generals felt it, and many creatures trembled in fear.

They looked at the Yellow Springs deep in the underworld with expressions of horror.

The eerie and terrifying fluctuations emanating from there were chilling.

Just as the numerous ghostly soldiers and generals trembled in fear, mysterious auras emanated from the underworld, and one after another, enormous tombstones appeared.

The tombstone continuously spews out a dark and deathly aura, soothing the ghostly soldiers, generals, and spirits, while also exuding an aura of supreme majesty.

The numerous Yin soldiers, Yin generals, and Yin spirits, upon sensing this unique aura of death, immediately became energetic as if they had taken drugs.

As if they had gained confidence, they straightened their backs and stopped trembling.

One after another, powerful figures appeared, heading deeper into the underworld to observe the changes in the Yellow Springs.

Then a skeleton, its body radiating holy light, arrived at the Yellow Springs.

This person transformed into a majestic middle-aged man, exuding an aura of supreme power.

This powerful figure was actually the Skeleton King, because the powerful figure whom Xiao Ping'an had once guided had already lived several lifetimes and was walking steadily on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

Several other figures also appeared: the Prison Emperor, the Underworld Emperor, and the Yama Emperor.

They are known as the Four Giants of the Underworld, and can be said to be four Underworld giants personally trained by Xiao Ping'an.

They are not the Prison King, Underworld King, or Yama King mentioned in the original text.

They are truly beings born from the underworld.

It can only be born from this special atmosphere.

By this time, they had all undergone several transformations, and their bodies were either radiating powerful light or shrouded in a dark, deathly aura.

This youngest Yama King, also known as the Yama Heavenly Emperor, is a chaotic entity cultivated over countless millennia.

Unlike the others who were surrounded by deathly aura, he was surrounded by chaotic aura.

They had all received Xiao Ping'an's kindness, and with the help of this terrible dark invasion, they all successfully lived out a new life thanks to that strange substance.

The most outstanding Yama King, in particular, with his special physique, actually underwent two transformations in succession with the help of this dark and strange substance, living out two new lives, which is truly incredible.

In some respects, this also reveals the special nature of chaotic entities.

In this place today, the Skeleton King is undoubtedly the oldest, having followed Xiao Ping'an since the end of the mythological era.

It was originally a creature that Xiao Ping'an accidentally discovered in a dark and deadly place when he opened up the ancient star road.

Later, Xiao Ping'an arranged for him to be the leader of a training ground in the underworld.

Xiao Ping'an never expected that this nameless skeleton in the original text would have such a fortuitous opportunity.

He not only became the Skeleton King, but also the one among the four giants of the underworld who underwent the most transformations and was the strongest.

Sensing the change within the yellow circle, the Skeleton King was the first to awaken and immediately corrected his behavior.

At this moment, he held a white bone knife in his hand.

Although it is a bone sword, it is pitch black, only revealing its original white color during battle.

He was on high alert, not allowing anything to happen that was beyond his control.

He knew that many fallen powerhouses were buried here, including fallen true immortals and fallen supreme beings, each of whom was incredibly powerful.

They were undergoing a transformation here. Although Xiao Ping'an had made arrangements, the Skeleton King, as Xiao Ping'an's follower, would certainly not allow any accidents to happen here.

He had been silently observing the transformation of these powerful individuals, hoping that they could successfully transform and return from the dead.

Although he attained enlightenment through a skeleton, he still possessed basic moral qualities due to Xiao Ping'an's influence.

At least in terms of fighting against darkness and the bizarre, almost all the powerful have reached a consensus.

No one has surrendered yet, unless they have truly been corrupted to the point of possession.

"It's Xiao Tianchu!"

What's wrong with his health?

"This is the 26th generation descendant of the Overlord, a person of noble status. We cannot afford any mistakes."

buzzing.

Before the four giants of the underworld, in that mysterious world, Xiao Tianchu, who had been dormant for more than five thousand years, began to show vigorous vitality in his body after expelling endless dark and strange substances.

The countless dark and eerie substances were either devoured and refined by his body or forcibly expelled, making the scene seem very strange.

As one of Xiao Ping'an's most beloved and powerful descendants, Xiao Tianshu truly deserves the title of the first ancient emperor of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

He fought bravely during this invasion of darkness, even killing two fallen immortals.

After so many years of transformation, he has successfully lived through seven lifetimes and is getting closer and closer to becoming a mortal immortal.

It was precisely because of his great strength that he encountered the focused attacks of those fallen immortals.

When Xiao Ping'an discovered his body, he almost thought he was dead.

It was only by using an unparalleled forbidden divine power from the heavens that a body was forcibly formed for him.

Even so, his face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were closed, and there was a deathly stillness between his brows.

He possessed a powerful body, but had lost his primordial spirit.

As the person who has gone the furthest on the path of immortality in the mortal world among the Ancient Sacred Body, he is undoubtedly the pride of the Ancient Sacred Body lineage.

Even Hua Wuque, the brother of the Ruthless Empress, and Ye Fan regarded him as a senior of the Ancient Sacred Body lineage.

During the great battle, his body was corroded and his spirit was obliterated. Terrifying and strange substances threatened to take over his body at any moment and give birth to a new soul.

He was almost lost in darkness.

In order to protect the sacred ancestral star, the ancestral land of the Xiao family, and the sacred mountain of Ziwei Star, Xiao Tianshu fought countless battles. In the end, he was corrupted by the strange substance. After living a new life with the help of the strange substance, he was still unable to turn the tide of the battle or remove the strange substance from his body.

After sensing the changes in his body, those fallen immortals used even more and higher-level strange substances, determined to completely corrupt him and turn him into one of them.

His transformation is truly astonishing.

If he were a normal person, then Xiao Tianchu's physical body regaining its vitality should normally be a happy thing.

However, after carefully examining Xiao Tianchu's body, the Skeleton King and the others looked solemn and finally let out a series of sighs.

"Although his physical body seemed to have been expelled from the dark and eerie substances, his primordial spirit dissipated along with the dissipation of the dark and eerie consciousness."

“No, his body hasn’t completely gotten rid of the dark and strange substance. On the contrary, some of the doors seem to have turned black. It’s like the doors in his body have been contaminated.”

"That's a serious problem. If he continues down this path, he could very well become a source of pollution."

"Unless it is completely eradicated, it will pollute wherever it goes."

"Is there really no way for him to turn back? Even the Overlord and the Undying Emperor can't do anything about it?"

"I feel that after his primordial spirit and the strange entity perished together, a new primordial spirit seems to be being born in his body."

"It is a newly born soul within this body..."

"Is it a case of a corpse communicating with spirits?"
