Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 101 The Birth of Jiuli
The time when Qi Sheng secluded himself to improve himself was the happiest time for the Emperor's son and his entourage.

Finally, I'm rid of that annoying guy who likes to sneak up on me.

But this happy life didn't last long...

"Oh, you must be the Crown Prince, the one hailed as having the greatest bloodline in history."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiuli, and I'm here to kill you."

Outside Hangu Pass in the starry sky, the young Jiuli greeted the Heavenly Emperor's son and his entourage, who had come to comprehend the Xuanwu Daoist treasure land, with a cheerful smile.

"Extremely arrogant." A supreme descendant from a strange world drew his sword and slashed.

A seemingly ordinary sword strike contains boundless killing intent; it is the supreme technique of his lineage.

However... it was useless.

A beautiful scroll unfolds, with countless flowers, birds, fish, insects, wild animals, mountains, and rivers rushing out to suppress the Emperor's son and his entourage.

The Jiuli people, standing among them, seemed like gods who controlled all things, while the Heavenly Emperor and his companions were demons.

"Arrogant." The Heavenly Emperor drew his Phoenix Blood Heavenly Blade and slashed out, the dazzling blade light threatening to tear everything apart.

The Heavenly Cloud Emperor's son and the others did the same, quickly taking action and instantly obliterating the attack launched by the Nine Li Diagram.

Jiuli, however, didn't care and smiled dismissively: "It's just an appetizer. The real thing is yet to come."

The Nine Li Map hung overhead, casting down bursts of light.

Jiuli himself charged straight at the Emperor's son, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with his bare hands.

Fighting enemies from all sides alone—this is the best description of the Jiuli at this time.

Moreover, the Jiuli seemed to be born as martial gods, and they did not fall behind even when fighting multiple opponents.

At Hangu Pass, the powerful human race on the ancient star of the primordial world showed no surprise at this scene, only disdain.

"That guy from Jiuli clearly prefers close combat, but he ended up creating the Jiuli Diagram. I really don't understand it."

"I really don't understand. And why did he target the Crown Prince and the others?"

"What else could it be? It's just the battle for the Emperor's Road. The Nine Li want to become the Great Emperor, and since the other side is blocking their way, they're going to test their mettle."

The explanation was given by a Taoist sage who was stationed at Hangu Pass.

In the struggle for the imperial path, there are no so many whys; it's simply a matter of fighting if you disagree.

"By the way, why haven't we seen any of the Immortal Emperor's former subordinates come out to support the Crown Prince all these years?"

New questions have been raised.

"They've been terrified of being killed by the Human King. If that black banner comes out, it really will lead to the extinction of their race. Besides, the Undying Emperor has already been defeated."

That's how realistic the cultivation world is. If you, as a leader, lose, you have to be prepared for your subordinates to defect.

Of course, there are many loyal people in the universe, but millions of years have passed, and those who swore an oath to the Immortal Emperor are all dead. How could their descendants be loyal to him?

While everyone was chatting at Hangu Pass, the war outside had reached its climax.

At this moment, Jiuli had already killed three supreme descendants who followed the Heavenly Emperor's son and the Heavenly Cloud Emperor's son. His momentum was becoming more and more prosperous, and he had completely transformed into a war god.

The Heavenly Cloud Prince and the Heavenly Emperor Prince had grim expressions; they hadn't expected to encounter another madman.

If Qi Sheng is a bloodthirsty killing madman, then Jiu Li is a battle maniac.

He catches weapons with his bare hands, trades injury for life, and his momentum grows stronger with each fight. He is also very cunning. He seems to be following the path of magic, but in fact, his physical body is comparable to that of a human holy body, making him a pure combat type.

High defense, high health, strong attack power, and extremely easy to deal with.

"All of you step back, I will fight alone!" The Heavenly Emperor roared, blocking Jiuli with a single strike and sending everyone else flying.

With the others around, he felt somewhat constrained. Moreover... the more the Heavenly Emperor looked at these supreme offspring, the more he felt they were useless. They couldn't even restrain the Nine Li, and would be killed as soon as they got the chance. It was truly outrageous.

Even that Heavenly Cloud Emperor's son, he's not as good as him in a battle at the same realm.

Were their parents also useless?

Even the Emperor's son was somewhat puzzled as to why the Immortal Emperor had sent the Heavenly Cloud Emperor's son and the others over.

A hint of regret flashed in Jiu Li's eyes. A peerless genius leading a group of trash, and having to take care of the trash around him, was not performing well.

In their one-on-one battle, they reached their peak from the very first exchange. The Heavenly Emperor's son unleashed a barrage of phoenixes from his Phoenix Blood Heavenly Blade, which swooped down upon the Nine Li.

He also unleashed the Imperial Dragon Qi Secret Technique that he had previously comprehended in the Dragon Qi Treasure Land.

The dragon and phoenix intertwined, yin and yang converged, and the killing power reached a new level. The Milky Way beneath Jiuli's feet was instantly shattered by the aftershocks.

"Hahahaha, that's more like it." Jiuli laughed loudly, his body bursting with surging battle intent. He directly tore apart the charging phoenix and dragon energy with his bare hands, withstood the explosion, and sent the Heavenly Emperor's son flying with a single punch.

At the same time, Jiuli's physical body grew wildly, quickly transforming into a towering giant standing in the starry sky.

The Nine Li Painting Scroll was held in the hands of the Nine Li, who then slashed it down fiercely.

No one says that you can only use an axe to create the world, right?
The world reopens, and the surging laws of earth, fire, wind, and water sweep over the Emperor's son.

"Sing." The Heavenly Emperor's son transformed into a phoenix, rising with crimson flames to heal his injured body and resist the earth's fire and wind.

The Heavenly Emperor remained silent, merging with the Phoenix Blood Heavenly Blade. His aura surged, and he flipped over, his two wings slicing down like blades.

"Heavenly Blade, Heavenly Dao." The all-encompassing aura of the Heavenly Dao enveloped the Nine Li.

"We humans shall fight against heaven and earth! Break!" Jiuli brandished the Jiuli Diagram, which was imbued with the aura of all things, and charged forward.

"Hey, I didn't expect to encounter such an earth-shattering battle so soon after leaving the pass. How wonderful."

The great battle ended with the Emperor's son fleeing.

Qi Sheng suddenly attacked and sent the Heavenly Cloud Emperor's son away. Most of the remaining Supreme Descendants were also killed by Qi Sheng. This made the Heavenly Emperor's son furious. The human race... is too insidious.

Upon seeing this, Jiuli burst into laughter and gave chase, forcing the Heavenly Emperor's son to flee with the remaining descendants of the Supreme Being.

Jiang Bai, who occasionally came out of seclusion to rest, was stunned by this scene and couldn't help but complain, "Is the supreme offspring sent by the Undying Emperor so weak?"

After all, you can't tell how strong someone is just by looking at their cultivation level and realm. For example, the Undying Emperor and Ye Fan are both Immortals of the Mortal World, but the Undying Emperor can't beat Ye Fan.

"What is the Immortal Emperor after?"

But Jiang Bai didn't care. He turned his gaze to Qi Sheng and Jiu Li, who were now feeling a deep connection and regretting not having met sooner.

Jiuli said he would cure Qi Sheng's illness, and the method was very simple.

"Brother, if you ever want to kill someone but can't find the villain, come find me, and I'll smash your dog's head in."

"If I fight you at the same level, I will defeat you and make you submit completely, and your illness will be cured."

Qi Sheng laughed upon hearing this, "Alright, let's see who smashes whose head."

During their battles, the two forged a deep friendship and joined forces to hunt down the Emperor's son.

"With the help of those supreme bloodlines, my talent has finally caught up, my combat power has become stronger, and I've also met you, brother, so naturally I have to play the role of Old Cat for a while."

Qi Sheng's smile was filled with endless killing intent. He was able to defeat the Heavenly Emperor's son before, but he only won by a few moves because of his reckless fighting style.

Now that the talent pool is level, it's natural to have a fierce battle.

Next, we need to speed things up and enter the Immortal Realm.
