Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 465 The Guidance of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor
The Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Pollen Empress were not surprised that Xiao Ping'an wanted to attempt the Dao of Sacrifice in this era.

Xiao Ping'an's birth was, in their eyes, a variable, one they hadn't anticipated.

Although they initially thought it was impossible for Xiao Ping'an to succeed, they began to deduce how likely it was that Xiao Ping'an and his clone had grown to such an extent without them even realizing it.

The number of bizarre progenitors lurking within the strange plateau now far exceeds previous estimates.

Even if the Desolate Emperor were incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly fight against so many bizarre progenitors at the same time.

The Pollen Queen shared the same mindset.

They so desperately hope that someone will grow up and be able to help them.

Now, Xiao Ping'an, the strongest among the Immortal Emperors, has the hope of becoming a Sacrificial Dao expert, which is definitely a great joy for them.

The Boundless Heavenly Venerable was extremely shocked that Xiao Ping'an's strength had reached such a level.

He found it even more unbelievable when he heard that Xiao Ping'an had already begun to attempt higher levels of cultivation.

However, considering Xiao Ping'an's extraordinary abilities, he felt it was only natural.

After all, it's quite legendary that the Boundless Celestial Venerable was able to reincarnate as a dark creature.

Before this, no reincarnated being had ever cultivated to this level and still maintained their original rationality.

The Desolate Emperor looked at Xiao Ping'an with a solemn expression: "How much hope do you think there is for a successful breakthrough?"

Is there anything we can do for you?

As the Desolate Emperor was able to become a powerful figure in the Dao of Sacrifice, he naturally knew the difficulties involved.

The same goes for Pollen Empress; they all went through countless near-death experiences before finally reaching this point.

Those who manage to break through are lucky people, people who have received blessings from heaven.

Throughout history, countless immortal emperors have attempted to break through to the next level, only to be ultimately blocked.

Some unfortunate souls simply died silently and vanished without a trace, leaving no trace in the vast expanse of ancient history.

That's just how cruel reality is.

Now, Xiao Ping'an wants to try the Dao of Sacrifice, but the difficulty involved is simply too great.

Especially now that the strange progenitors have awakened, they have been keeping a close eye on the heavens and may take action at any time to make Xiao Ping'an's efforts go to waste.

It's important to understand that the difficulty of breaking through the barrier when the Ominous Progenitor is alive and when it's asleep is worlds apart.

They can certainly break through easily while they are asleep.

If they try to break through while they are still conscious, they are likely to be ruined.

After all, once you reach that level, it's extremely difficult to hide your breakthrough.

This will more or less affect the eerie progenitor in the eerie plateau.

The Desolate Emperor said solemnly, "The so-called Sacrifice Dao Realm is to push one's Dao Fruit and one's path of evolution to the extreme."

"Only by sacrificing all the great Dao and cause and effect, and sacrificing all traces of one's own existence, can one possibly succeed."

"Moreover, the probability of success is not very high, or rather, it is very slim."

The Desolate Emperor stared at Xiao Ping'an: "If you hesitate even slightly, or if your cultivation is insufficient, you may very well die completely, turn into nothingness, disappear forever, and never come back."

"Even if I were to personally intervene, I would not be able to reproduce the image."

The Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Empress are very familiar with this kind of thing.

When they tried to restore the eight Celestial Emperors who had died in the heavens, they discovered that the difficulty involved was truly different.

Some people die completely when they try to break through.

Even if they wanted to be resurrected, it would be very difficult.

This is why some seeds in this world take root and sprout, while others remain dormant.

When the Desolate Emperor said these words, he was not only giving Xiao Ping'an some pointers, but also hoping that he would carefully consider the risks involved and think about as many factors as possible to increase the probability of success.

Xiao Ping'an's cultivation talent is truly astonishing; even the Desolate Heaven Emperor had to give him a thumbs up.

However, Xiao Ping'an's method of cultivation was never used by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor; it was a path of greatness that Xiao Ping'an had forged on his own.

However, the time it takes for the body and spirit to accumulate after they are separated is still somewhat short.

Logically speaking, to become a powerful figure in the sacrificial path, one must have sufficient accumulation and foundation.

If Xiao Ping'an were to forcefully attempt to break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm now, the probability of success wouldn't be that high.

The greater probability is that it will turn to ashes.

However, the Desolate Emperor also considered other matters. For example, Xiao Ping'an had cultivated through the Tongtian Land, traversing countless eras and accumulating astonishing Dao foundation and Dao roots.

Although he didn't know exactly how many years Xiao Ping'an had lived through.

However, he had a vague feeling that Xiao Ping'an's accumulated knowledge and experience must be very profound.

Because of the urn and crematorium, even the Desolate Emperor could not see how profound Xiao Ping'an's accumulation of power truly was.

However, the Desolate Emperor had a vague feeling that Xiao Ping'an's accumulation might already be enough.

The reason Xiao Ping'an hasn't started practicing the Dao of Sacrifice yet is simply because he wants to become stronger and become a more powerful Dao of Sacrifice expert.

If the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit is perfected, and he can reach the ultimate level of sublimation, he can become a powerful sacrificial Dao expert. That would be wonderful.

But that is not the case.

Doing all this is merely the foundation for attempting the Way of the Sacrifice; to truly become a Sacrifice, there are other hidden conditions.

Some things are hard to explain or articulate, but they certainly exist.

Upon hearing the words of the Desolate Emperor, Xiao Ping'an's expression also became solemn.

"My combat strength is indeed already very strong."

"My insights and accumulated knowledge do indeed meet the basic requirements."

"But I feel I'm still a bit weak. I want to become a stronger sacrificial master, so I'm still waiting."

Xiao Ping'an was most aware of his own situation, his strengths and weaknesses.

He knew that the Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Empress could only impart some experience to him, but even this experience was enough to benefit him greatly.

So, under the cover of the urn and crematorium, he explained his situation in detail.

For example, how did the Chaos Celestial Venerable evolve, and how did he possess the body of the Undying Emperor?

The Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Empress listened attentively. They did not think that Xiao Ping'an was a bad person for possessing Wang Bo's body or the Undying Emperor's body.

When cultivation reaches their level, it's purely a struggle for the Great Dao.

If such results could be achieved by sacrificing only two people, they would do it without hesitation.

It's worth sacrificing some people if it's possible to fight against the darkness and the bizarre.

This world is cruel, a dark forest, a world of survival of the fittest.

It's really cruel.

Life is truly unpleasant for the weak in this world.

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Pollen Empress stared at Xiao Ping'an in astonishment.

I was worried that Xiao Ping'an hadn't accumulated enough experience, and it would be a real pity if he died.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ping'an's experience was already so profound, and he was full of confidence.

And in order to reach a higher realm and become a stronger sacrificial master, they are still striving forward.

"I never imagined you'd come this far..."

"If you can truly use three Dao Fruits to perform a sacrificial ceremony, you will likely become the strongest sacrificial ceremony master in history."

"Perhaps after success, I will immediately have the strength to fight the three strange progenitors."

Empress Pollen remarked with a sigh, "Sacrificing a Dao Fruit does indeed seem somewhat weak."

"It is indeed a regret that I was unable to use the dual Dao Fruits to perform the Dao sacrifice back then."

"If I had been able to cultivate two Dao Fruits back then, even if my accumulation was insufficient, it would have made up for the deficiency in accumulation."

"I never expected that you would cultivate three Dao Fruits, a feat unprecedented in history."

"It seems that after so many millennia of silent and diligent cultivation, the time has finally come for you to reap the rewards."

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Pollen Empress were truly astonished that Xiao Ping'an had chosen such a path.

If a dual-path fruit is still within their comprehension, a triple-path fruit is simply inconceivable.

It can be said that it created an unprecedented miracle.

No one in history has ever been able to cultivate to this level.

Many people are completely stuck at the Immortal King realm and can only cultivate one Dao Fruit.

Only exceptionally talented individuals, such as the Great Emperor Wushi, can switch from cultivating the Great Dao of Time to cultivating the Great Dao of Space and achieve two Dao Fruits.

Unfortunately, time ran out in the end, and he ultimately stopped at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm during the final battle, failing to successfully perform the Dao sacrifice.

In this world within the small coffin, concealed by the urn and crematorium, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the Pollen Empress, Xiao Ping'an, and the Boundless Heavenly Venerable were all silently deducing and cultivating their Dao.

The relics from the highlands here have concealed all traces of their past.

At the same time, it also exudes a supreme divine aura that far exceeds everyone's imagination.

After careful deduction, the Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Empress approved of Xiao Ping'an's path.

At the same time, I'm also trying to help him fix some potential loopholes and make the plan as perfect as possible.

"Your ingenious ideas are truly inspiring."

"I wonder if you also intend to hone the Chaos Celestial Venerable and the Undying Emperor to their ultimate level in the Immortal Emperor realm?" "I'm afraid this will take a very long time."

"Your current physical form has indeed reached its peak."

"However, the other two Dao Fruits are relatively weak."

"I'm afraid this could lead to unexpected complications."

Since this path is correct and feasible.

Given enough time, Xiao Ping'an seems destined to succeed and become an unprecedented powerhouse in the Dao of Sacrifice.

It might even be possible to glimpse the realm of that supreme being, laying an unparalleled foundation for becoming a being above the path of sacrifice.

However, to achieve such a feat, it might take countless epochs to forcibly refine them to their ultimate form.

But in this era, it was too late for Xiao Ping'an.

He no longer has enough time to allow the other two Dao Fruits to reach their peak.

Moreover, the risks involved in offering three Dao Fruits should not be underestimated.

It's hard to say that conflict won't occur.

It's even possible that they will perish together, completely annihilated into nothingness.

The Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Empress took the risks involved very seriously.

Because they had actually seen people turn to ashes while attempting to perform a ritual.

Xiao Ping'an's eyes were burning brightly, and endless Dao runes were flying around.

"I believe I will succeed!"

"Even if the hope isn't 100%, it's enough for me."

"The Dark Age is drawing ever closer to its end. Only by becoming a more powerful priest can I possibly save this world."

"A certain amount of risk and sacrifice is worthwhile."

"I believe that both of you fellow Daoists will make the same choice."

"As long as I can give God a better chance of survival, I will do my best."

Xiao Ping'an is not a saint, but he has his own family and friends, and he doesn't want them to just disappear like that.

I don't want to see them fall into darkness.

Xiao Ping'an cultivates so diligently so that one day he can live freely and that his descendants can also live freely.

In the fight against darkness and the bizarre, who hasn't made significant sacrifices?

Look at those deceased True Immortals, deceased Immortal Kings, deceased Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and those deceased Immortal Emperors.

They could have run away, they could have hidden themselves.

But they didn't; they all bravely appeared on the front lines against the darkness and the eeriness.

The Desolate Emperor and the Pollen Empress were certainly not cowards.

They smiled after hearing Xiao Ping'an's words.

Only like-minded people can become friends. It's really unbearable for people with different values ​​to stay together.

It was very gratifying for them that Xiao Ping'an had similar thoughts to them.

After all, no one wants their descendants to grow up to be like a rebellious child.

“Well said. We cultivators are inherently defying the heavens. Now, we have gone against the will of the strange plateau and the strange progenitor, and we have indeed been punished accordingly.”

"But even so, the principles in our hearts and the moral bottom line in our hearts will never change."

"We will forever stop those bizarre races from performing great sacrifices to the heavens."

"So what if it's just a mere eerie progenitor? I firmly believe that victory will ultimately belong to us."

The Desolate Emperor exuded a soaring battle intent, displaying unparalleled domineering power.

Heaven and earth trembled, and all things cried out in anguish.

The Desolate Emperor truly deserves to be called the number one expert in the Dao of Sacrifice in this world.

They never admit defeat or accept their fate in the face of the suppression from the mysterious progenitor.

To Heaven, it was like a compassionate father of steel, sending everyone into the battlefield to hone their skills and cultivate themselves in the brutal arena.

He has done his best and has a clear conscience.

Xiao Ping'an nodded, completely agreeing with the Desolate Emperor's statement.

Although he was unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices, he knew that once one's cultivation reached a certain level, one would become a sacrifice in the eyes of the Mysterious Immortal Emperor and the Mysterious Ancestor.

It's not that you won't be targeted or punished if you don't resist.

Rather, once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, they will inevitably be targeted.

The grand sacrifice to the heavens to destroy the entire world was the will of this strange progenitor.

Only by destroying them can the world be saved.

Xiao Ping'an looked at the Desolate Emperor. He knew that the Desolate Emperor had been under immense pressure during his breakthrough.

Throughout his life, he often had to force himself to break through before he could even hone his skills to the fullest.

However, the Desolate Emperor did not become crippled because of this; on the contrary, he grew stronger with each battle.

He trained through battle, gained insights in combat, transformed and sublimated, forcibly broke through, and ultimately became a super strongman.

He was born in the darkest and most turbulent era of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Realm, and could die at any moment.

He rose against all odds in the Dharma-ending Age, and ultimately broke through the barriers to become an incredible powerhouse.

Seeing Xiao Ping'an's gaze, the Desolate Emperor instantly understood Xiao Ping'an's thoughts.

The Desolate Emperor shook his head and did not offer any further explanation.

His birth and breakthrough were truly an accident; no one else could replicate them, and explanations were useless.

The Desolate Emperor's gaze turned toward the direction of the strange plateau.

"I wonder if those strange progenitors are also silently watching over the heavens."

“I always felt that they deliberately let us grow unchecked, and then turned everyone into sacrifices.”

"We must become an unexpected variable in order to truly gain the upper hand in the final battle."

"The worst-case scenario is that we shouldn't be completely wiped out; we must preserve the seeds of hope."

"When those eerie progenitors reappear, the battle will surely be earth-shattering, with heavy casualties."

“I have a vague feeling that when that strange progenitor reappears, there may be even more strange progenitors appearing together.”

“They will sacrifice everyone.”

"We may have to exhaust all our resources to find hope of survival."

"The Desolate Emperor said with a solemn expression."

Xiao Ping'an nodded, having similar thoughts or premonitions.

In the original text, these strange progenitors performed grand sacrifices to the heavens multiple times.

By the time the Holy Ruins Era arrived, at least four eras had passed, which is truly terrifying.

At that time, it seemed that everything in the world had been destroyed and polluted.

Even spiritual practice has become an extremely luxurious thing.

The cultivation methods of the five secret realms have been completely destroyed.

The Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were also destroyed, turning into the so-called Great Underworld, Small Underworld, and Great Yang World.

People use pollen and breathing techniques in conjunction with their spiritual practice.

In the end, most people will be corrupted and undergo bizarre changes, turning into strange monsters like Cthulhu.

Now that Xiao Ping'an has transmigrated to this era, he naturally wants to change everything.

Xiao Ping'an will not allow these damned, bizarre progenitors to destroy this beautiful world like this.

We must not allow them to pollute so many paths of civilization's evolution.

From then on, they would spend their days here together seeking enlightenment and cultivating their spiritual practice.

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor was also guiding their cultivation.

In particular, he instructed the Boundless Heavenly Venerable to attempt to transform and sublimate using dark and strange substances.

There was a seed planted by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor himself, who personally suppressed the mind of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable to prevent strange changes from occurring.

The Boundless Heavenly Venerable can confidently research and use small amounts of primordial matter.

With urns and crematoriums to suppress it, and bronze coffins from this world to suppress it, there is no need to worry about this terrible primordial substance spreading out.

In the palm of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's hand, the seed had grown into an incomparably tall divine tree, taking root in that world.

At this moment, they slowly moved out of the world and arrived at the celestial platform of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

The soul imprint of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable was imprinted on that sacred tree.

After being nourished, it becomes even more powerful and sacred.

At the same time, it will be more effective at resisting the invasion of strange and primordial matter.

A terrifying and bizarre substance raged within the body of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, yet his brow altar remained perfectly clear.
