Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 428 Duan De, the Underworld Lord who Presides Over the Cycle of Reincarnation
After the Immortal Emperor bestowed his blessing, Xiao Ping'an disappeared from everyone's sight.

With a flicker, he vanished from the Immortal Realm.

When he reappeared, he was already in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, on Earth.

At this point, this blue planet had transformed from a technological civilization into a prehistoric civilization.

It has now transformed into a primordial ancient star, where various great sects stand tall and cultivation flourishes.

The entire ancient planet was many times larger than the technological civilization era.

Today, the status of the Primordial Ancient Star in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is similar to that of the Big Dipper and the Purple Star.

Even more important.

This place has become an essential route for ancient emperors and kings on their path of reincarnation.

For example, the Western Emperor, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, the Void Emperor, the Eternal Universe Emperor, Laozi, the Moral Celestial Venerable, and the Amitabha Buddha Emperor all once communicated with the spirits of corpses here.

As the Western Emperor, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, the Void Emperor, and the Eternal Universe Emperor approached the level of Immortals, more and more people came here to attempt transformation.

Most of the major holy sites and aristocratic families have branch bases here.

Many sacred sites and aristocratic families have even had ancient emperors and kings transform here.

According to ancient legends, this is the birthplace of many great figures, in addition to the Desolate Emperor.

People are skeptical about the legend of the Desolate Emperor.

However, since this place is generally recognized as the hometown of the Desolate Emperor, it has naturally aroused the interest of many people.

Xiao Ping'an is certainly powerful, but his home planet, the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body, is not a place that just anyone can go.

Moreover, the suppression of the Great Dao there is too severe.

Apart from the Azure Heaven Overlord Bloodline, all other bloodlines would be suppressed there.

Therefore, by comparison, everyone likes to take a trip to the ancient star, which is almost a training ground for every cultivator.

Even their final resting place is in this place.

Many people yearn to bury themselves in the Kunlun Mountains, hoping that one day their corpses will be able to communicate with spirits.

After all, the legendary path to reincarnation in the Kunlun Mountains has become an open secret.

The Celestial Emperor Meng Tianzheng is stationed there.

Ordinary people are certainly not qualified to enter the Kunlun Purgatory and meet Meng Tianzheng.

However, the aura that occasionally emanated was enough to greatly benefit those ancient emperors and kings whose corpses possessed spiritual power.

Xiao Ping'an has come here today.

Without greeting the numerous lineages, he tore through the void and entered the Kunlun Purgatory.

The Kunlun Purgatory world remains an endless expanse of coldness and darkness.

On the boundless red land, the divine city, radiating a holy and luminous aura, remains the only bright spot in the entire world.

Countless densely packed broken weapons and corpses floated in the sky, twinkling like stars.

Apart from these lifeless corpses, there were no other living beings.

Many people want to try to enter this place and train and cultivate themselves here.

However, without Meng Tianzheng's permission or the guidance of someone like Xiao Ping'an, they wouldn't even know how to enter the Purgatory World.

Not only is it impossible to enter, but it is also impossible to leave without Meng Tianzheng's permission.

Perhaps someone once entered this place by chance, but with the City of Light and the Wheel of Reincarnation blocking their way, they could only cautiously leave.

This is a cold and dark world.

After Xiao Ping'an arrived, a huge roar suddenly erupted.

As if the heavens and earth were collapsing, Xiao Ping'an's figure was sacred and powerful, radiating a brilliance like the sun.

That supreme aura of an immortal emperor illuminated this world.

Countless millennia later, Xiao Ping'an returned, arriving in this world once more.

Nothing seems to have changed here, except that the enormous Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation is gone.

In a daze, Xiao Ping'an seemed to understand something.

Could it be that the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation has already left this place and entered the long river of time in the heavens?

Could it be that the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation that the Undying Emperor was transforming into is this Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation?

Meng Tianzheng is really willing to give up so much.

Are you really willing to let the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation leave this place?

Or is it that the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation had already given birth to life, and Meng Tianzheng let it leave out of respect?
Xiao Ping'an sensed the aura here, stepped forward, and flew directly towards the City of Light and the Wheel of Reincarnation.

He could sense that this seemingly ordinary purgatory world was actually filled with endless Immortal Emperor killing formations.

It must have been arranged by Lao Meng when he had nothing else to do.

The closer one gets to the City of Light, the more one can feel that terrifying killing intent.

The City of Light and the Millstone of Reincarnation must have been personally arranged by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Ordinary people cannot pass through the Reincarnation Graphite here.

This place had long been no longer a threat to Xiao Ping'an, and with the urn containing his ashes, he was able to cross over here with ease.

I wonder if he was still at the Immortal Emperor level when he created this place of reincarnation?
After he became a powerful figure in the sacrificial path, I wonder if he ever came back to make any arrangements.

Xiao Ping'an was quite at ease about this Kunlun Purgatory, after all, it was still operating stably even in the Holy Ruins era.

Xiao Ping'an has been here many times and is very familiar with everything here.

All the Celestial Emperor formations were utterly ineffective against Xiao Ping'an.

He went directly to the City of Light.

Here, he saw mountains of corpses.

Legendary immortals, strange and powerful races, rare humans, and all sorts of corpses appear here.

Now that Xiao Ping'an has stepped into this cycle of reincarnation again, he senses something different.

Perhaps it's because Lao Meng gained new insights after leveling up.

His gaze was intense as he carefully observed the countless mysterious Dao runes here.

The secrets of some of the corpses were quickly deciphered.

It turns out that ever since Xiao Ping'an seized the Ancient Underworld from the four major strongholds of the strange race, the entire cycle of reincarnation in the Ancient Underworld has fallen into the control of the heavens.

These countless corpses included not only those from the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also those from the Heavens and the myriad realms.

A mysterious force transported them here across endless distances.

Not only are there normal corpses here, but there are even corpses of bizarre creatures.

Logically, those strange creatures should have been resurrected on the eerie plateau.

It seems that there are even more secrets hidden within the ancient underworld controlled by these strange creatures.

Xiao Ping'an observed carefully and found that no matter what kind of creature's corpse it was, or even the soul essence formed after the body exploded, or the scattered light rain, it was all drawn here by a mysterious force.

In other words, whether it is a complete corpse, a broken corpse, or only the flame of the soul remains, it will be summoned by this wheel of reincarnation.

After being refined and processed, they become the raw materials of the soul, like walking corpses, queuing up to move forward on this cycle of reincarnation.

Xiao Ping'an was surprised to find that the path of reincarnation had indeed evolved.

Previously, it could only attract corpses, but now it can even attract fragments of souls.

Soon, Xiao Ping'an's gaze fell upon the enormous Reincarnation Millstone.

On that millstone, a man exuding a powerful aura appeared.

Xiao Ping'an was taken aback by the man's appearance.

This person was none other than the Underworld Lord Duan De.

Xiao Ping'an also did not expect that Duan De, the Underworld Lord who entered the battlefield of the heavens, would return to this world silently.

Clearly, they are here to comprehend a more profound understanding of the cycle of reincarnation and to break through to a more powerful realm.

It seems he wants to break through to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor here.

Because Xiao Ping'an had already seen a faint wisp of quasi-immortal emperor light above the head of the Underworld Lord Duan De.

He has become the legendary Emperor Light Immortal King.

Once the final transformation is completed, he will become a true Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Xiao Ping'an's gaze pierced through the barrier of the Reincarnation Millstone, directly seeing through the cycle of reincarnation behind it, and looking at the clay figure beyond the abyss, and the burial ground behind the clay figure.

There, more coffins and new graves appeared, exuding the aura of birth and death.

Clearly, over the years, many more Immortal Kings and True Immortals have died on the battlefield, and their corpses or fragments of their soul fire have been returned.

There were also countless other corpses or fragments of souls that were either from the heavens or from the earth itself, which were also sorted out.

They are also nourished here, hoping to one day be resurrected and return.

It seems that Meng Tianzheng is not just sitting here in a daze, guarding against those dark and eerie things, but is also overseeing this path of reincarnation.

It seems he has done a lot of things in secret.

For example, how to bring back the corpses and souls of the dead. Sensing Xiao Ping'an's powerful and sacred aura, the Underworld Lord Duan De slowly awoke.

Although he was much older than Xiao Ping'an, he still bowed respectfully.

"Meet Tyrant Lord!"

"Lord of the Underworld, Duan De, I never expected you to have quietly returned from the battlefield of the heavens."

"Now that you are sitting in charge of this millstone of reincarnation, are you trying to comprehend the great Dao of reincarnation within it?"

"It seems you're not far from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

The Underworld Lord Duan De is truly an old ghost. He was from almost the same era as Meng Tianzheng and once called the young Desolate Emperor his brother. They were old acquaintances.

Therefore, it seems there is no doubt that Meng Tianzheng brought back the Underworld Lord Duan De, who was Cao Yusheng back then.

Perhaps in Lao Meng's eyes, the Underworld Lord Duan De is still the same Cao Yusheng from back then, the genius who trained alongside the young Desolate Emperor.

Therefore, it seems understandable that the Underworld Lord Duan De was able to gain another chance to enter this place and sit on the Wheel of Reincarnation.

Perhaps the Desolate Heavenly Emperor also secretly baptized Cao Yusheng and Meng Tianzheng.

After Meng Tianzheng became the Immortal Emperor, he may have given Cao Yusheng some guidance and baptized him with the blood of the Immortal Emperor.

In any case, the current Underworld Lord Duan De is much stronger than before.

Xiao Ping'an could sense that the Underworld Lord Duan De in front of him was different from before.

It's as if it has traveled through millions of years to arrive in this era.

He is not only Duan De, he is also Cao Yusheng. No matter how many times he reincarnates, he is still the same Cao Yusheng.

Duan De, or rather Cao Yusheng, politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"I have indeed quietly returned from the battlefield of the heavens."

“I received a message from Elder Meng Tianzheng to come here and help him guard the mausoleum and cemetery, and guard the Reincarnation Mill.”

"He hopes that I can become a quasi-immortal emperor here, and that one day, if something happens to the heavens, I can temporarily replace him to guard the cycle of reincarnation."

"He will then enter the bloody battle of the heavens."

Xiao Pingan nodded after hearing this.

Meng Tianzheng is now much stronger than in the original text, and he became an Immortal Emperor much earlier.

It would indeed be a waste of combat power to stay here and guard the cycle of reincarnation.

He deserves a broader stage, a chance to battle those eerie immortal emperors.

Having a Quasi-Immortal Emperor here is enough.

If the Underworld Lord Duan De could become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it would indeed be possible for him to help Meng Tianzheng guard this path of reincarnation.

Meng Tianzheng was entrusted by the Desolate Emperor to guard this path of reincarnation.

The Underworld Lord Duan De was once a sworn brother of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

The Cao Yusheng who was guided back to his former Dao Fruit is not the unreliable Duan De of later generations.

Therefore, if Meng Tianzheng were not around, Cao Yusheng would undoubtedly be the best successor.

"I have indeed found the opportunity to break through and become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"At this moment, the Overlord returned and gave a lecture on the Great Dao. I also heard a lot from him and felt that I benefited greatly. I am now closer to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"I must also thank the Heavenly Lord Batian for his generosity!"

Xiao Ping'an just smiled and let it go. He had done countless good deeds and really didn't care who he was helping.

"I wonder how things are on the battlefield in the heavens?" When the Underworld Lord Duan De left, the situation on the battlefield must have been extremely intense.

Therefore, after meeting Xiao Ping'an, he was very concerned about this issue.

"No major problems!"

"I only managed to come back during a short break this time!"

"The battlefield above the heavens has temporarily fallen silent!"

"Currently, only Quasi-Immortal Emperors and True Immortals are fighting there. Those strange Immortal Emperors have temporarily retreated. I don't know if they entered the Strange Plateau because they underwent a transformation or if something else happened."

"You can focus on your cultivation here without worrying about the battlefield above."

When Xiao Ping'an came here before, he would always refine elixirs to revive a large number of powerful individuals and lead them into the Heavenly Realm to participate in the battle.

If he were to arrive here now, he would still resurrect some of the deceased Immortal Kings and True Immortals, and continue to lead them into the battlefield of the heavens.

Among those who perished this time were likely some quasi-immortal emperors from all the heavens and myriad realms.

If darkness were to invade, this place would certainly be extremely busy.

It is also very dangerous.

But after the dark and eerie invasion, almost nothing special happened here.

Everything can operate automatically and smoothly, without requiring any effort.

All you need to do is follow the steps and practice here.

The Underworld Lord Duan De has been cultivating here for a very long time.

At this moment, sensing that Xiao Ping'an's aura was becoming increasingly powerful, his eyes were filled with envy and awe.

You should know that he was the one who personally witnessed how the Desolate Emperor grew up.

He even sensed that Xiao Ping'an might be even more powerful than the Desolate Emperor, who was at the same level back then.

He could sense the terrifyingly powerful aura emanating from Xiao Ping'an.

Even Xiao Ping'an once entered a strange state or domain that even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had never entered.

This astonishing transformation allowed Xiao Ping'an to accumulate a foundation comparable to that of the Desolate Emperor.

Xiao Ping'an has now actually progressed so far in the Immortal Emperor realm.

Now, even though the Underworld Lord Duan De is from the same era as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, he has already fallen far behind Xiao Ping'an.

It should be noted that even if we start counting from the mythological era, the Underworld Lord Duan De was much older than Xiao Ping'an.

At first, even the Underworld Lord Duan De thought that Xiao Ping'an wasn't that strong or outstanding.

However, Xiao Ping'an grew stronger and stronger, not only becoming an emperor but also paving his way to immortality in the mortal world.

Then, he went a step further and entered the realm of Immortal King.

After that, he seemed to have a cheat code activated, and his cultivation progressed with unstoppable momentum.

The Underworld Lord Duan De seemed to have vanished, unable to even see Xiao Ping'an's back.

With such talent for cultivation, Duan De felt as if he were seeing another peak rising.

Perhaps one day he can walk side by side with the Desolate Emperor.

Now, Xiao Ping'an has once again slain the Dark Immortal Emperor who has mastered the Dao of Reincarnation on the battlefield of the heavens, and his understanding of the Dao of Reincarnation is becoming deeper and deeper.

That Dark Immortal Emperor once resided in the ancient underworld, and his understanding of the Great Dao there far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Looking at the Reincarnation Millstone, Xiao Ping'an had even more thoughts in his mind.

He silently watched the millstone of reincarnation turn.

The creaking sound wasn't from wear and tear on the roulette wheel itself, but from the sound of the corpses being crushed.

The millstone looked ancient and rough, just like the one I had seen in my own eyes in the courtyard on the sacred plateau years ago.

This millstone decomposes countless corpses, transforming them into the most primordial light of the soul, which then becomes individual soul shadows, lining up to move forward on the path of reincarnation.

It's unknown what the Desolate Emperor thought when he accidentally obtained this Reincarnation Millstone, and how he planned to use it to filter out the departed souls.

Even a Celestial Emperor, using every means at his disposal, could not deduce the origin of this Reincarnation Millstone.

This alone shows how mysterious this wheel of reincarnation is.

This also provides further evidence that there should still be beings on the sacrificial path in the world.

Otherwise, such a mysterious artifact could not possibly exist.

Perhaps the Desolate Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear was suddenly inspired after seeing the Great Dao runes on the Reincarnation Millstone.

That's why I thought of arranging this millstone of reincarnation on the path of reincarnation and rebirth.

Moreover, it serves as the first step in eliminating all darkness and mystery.

This Reincarnation Millstone is truly amazing. The aura it emits is so mysterious and powerful. It has been running for so many years without ever having any problems.

This cyclical millstone contains astonishing secrets, which countless people may want to uncover.

At this moment, only Xiao Ping'an knew the secret of this Reincarnation Millstone.

At this point, even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor probably didn't know the true origin of this Reincarnation Millstone; it was merely a guess.

The Underworld Lord Duan De sat cross-legged on this millstone of reincarnation, quietly comprehending everything.

Xiao Ping'an also passed on the Dao of Reincarnation of the Dark Immortal Emperor he had killed to the Underworld Lord Duan De.

He also passed on his understanding of the cycle of reincarnation to Duan De.

He hoped that Duan De could grow up quickly and become a powerful Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

That way, Meng Tianzheng could support Heaven at any time.
