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

Chapter 103 One step further

But the Emperor's son was ultimately lacking in luck.

Several hours later, the Heavenly Emperor's son burned away everything he had, his primordial spirit and blood essence perished together, and he fell from the starry sky.

Jiuli stood in the starry sky, covered in blood, with Qi Sheng lying beside him, barely clinging to life.

"What a pity." Jiang Bai looked at the Emperor's son and sighed.

The Heavenly Emperor's son ultimately lost because of his imperial body. Even though he possessed the powerful bloodline of the Immortal Phoenix, his recovery ability was still inferior to that of the Nine Li imperial body.

In the starry sky, the human race cheered. Another great emperor had been born into their race, and this ancient era was destined to be their glorious time.

After attaining enlightenment, Jiuli immediately brought Qi Sheng to the Divine Land World.

At this point, Qi Sheng was inhaling more air than exhaling, and his burst of energy was similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor's son, both burning their life force.

Jiang Bai looked at the captain of the enforcement team he had booked, took a portion of the immortal essence, touched it between the eyebrows, and then buried Qi Sheng under the Bodhi tree.

"If he can wake up on his own from the near-death state of demonic possession, he will most likely be able to start a second life and control his bloodlust in the future."

"It's a mixed bag, you could say."

After all, he was eventually forced out of his demonic state by the Emperor's son, which brought him back to his senses.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Li breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Jiang Bai in thanks.

In the years that followed, the universe once again fell into tranquility. The Jiuli, like the great emperors of the past, explored the path to immortality and researched methods to live out their next life.

The method Jiuli researched for living out the next life was to observe Qi Sheng's recovery.

In Jiuli's words, I'm witnessing the transformation up close.

As for whether Qi Sheng can wake up, Jiu Li firmly believes that he can, after all, he is his brother.

Jiang Bai felt embarrassed at the thought of Qi Sheng waking up to find himself surrounded by a burly man who had seen right through him.

Just like when he woke up from a car accident before he traveled through time, he was completely naked and the first thing he saw was his big brother.

I was touched, but I also felt really awkward.

"I hope Jiuli won't tease Qi Sheng like my unlucky brother used to tease me," Jiang Bai said, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.

Three thousand years later, the immortal essence that Jiang Bai had sealed into Qi Sheng's body was exhausted, and Qi Sheng began to age rapidly.

The good news is that the bloodthirsty demonic aura around him has begun to weaken, and his purple hair has turned back to black.

Another century has passed, and Qi Sheng's black hair has turned white, his vital energy is gradually declining, much like someone whose lifespan is nearing its end and who is on the verge of death.

Another hundred years later, Qi Sheng's physical body began to recover rapidly, and the vitality of life rose from the sea of ​​suffering. Jiu Li stared intently at this scene, and with the blessing of the Bodhi tree, he desperately tried to understand, analyze, and explore the changes within it.

Ten years later, a tremendous surge of energy rose from beneath the Bodhi tree, and Qi Sheng crawled out from underground.

Jiang Bai glanced at it, and by breaking free from his bloodthirsty nature, he successfully underwent a rebirth.

Upon returning, Qi Sheng looked at the dirt on his body, then at Jiu Li, and said with a strange expression, "You really are my good brother, you even gave me a tree burial."

Jiang Bai interrupted their reminiscing and threw them out, telling them not to bother him while he was comprehending the mysterious runes left behind by the Emperor.

Three thousand years later, as Jiang Bai was studying the mysterious runes left by the Emperor and refining the Dao Fruit of the Secret Realm, a suppressed aura emanated from the universe.

It was the Nine Li who were challenging the Great Dao's suppression and the Heavenly Heart Mark, creating an opportunity for Qi Sheng to seize the Dao.

After a bloody battle, the universe once again ushered in an era of two emperors soaring through the sky, both of whom were human.

Jiang Bai looked at Qi Sheng's figure and sighed slightly: "He still hasn't broken free from his bloodthirsty nature."

When Qi Sheng was undergoing his tribulation, he could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from Qi Sheng, which was subtle and still being suppressed.

"From another perspective, the bloodthirsty nature is essentially the same as the Three Corpses. It can be constantly weakened, suppressed, or even briefly unleashed, but as long as a person is alive and has thoughts of it, it will always exist and cannot be completely eradicated."

After figuring it out, Jiang Bai continued to study the mysterious runes left behind by the Emperor. The more he studied them, the more he could sense within them.

It contained a great deal of profound knowledge, which made Jiang Bai somewhat fascinated by it.

It turns out that it contains knowledge about the evolution of the world. With the help of this, Jiang Bai's secret realm cultivation method became more and more perfect, and his immortal golden core also became more and more perfect.

Three thousand years later, Jiang Bai emerged from his comprehension of the mysterious runes, exuding a peculiar aura. He stepped into the Chaos Sea, venturing ever deeper, further and further away from the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Having traversed an unknown distance, deep within the endless chaotic sea, Jiang Bai released his self-suppression.

The great array engraved within Jiang Bai's body, used to isolate the secret realm techniques and alchemy methods, shattered inch by inch.

At the same time, the five great secret realms began to collapse, merging with the alchemy and cultivation methods, and the secret realm's Dao fruits merged into the immortal golden elixir.

The fusion of the two made the figure within the Immortal Golden Core even more realistic.

Boom! The Great Tribulation of the Immortal King descended, and countless Great Dao runes from all directions, past, future, and present, pressed down on Jiang Bai.

This is the Great Tribulation of the Immortal King, unlike the ordinary tribulations of lightning, it is judged by the Great Dao.

Under the crushing force of the massive Dao runes, Jiang Bai's physical body exploded, shattering into pieces.

"Give me life!" Jiang Bai's primordial spirit roared, and with the Immortal Golden Core as its core, a new physical body was born.

Crushing, birth, absorbing the power of the Great Dao runes—this process repeats endlessly, like forging steel a hundred times.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Bai's physical body finally stabilized, withstanding the test of the crushing force of the Great Dao.

But the key is what comes next. To become a Celestial King, the most important thing is the primordial spirit.

In the Immortal King realm, as long as the primordial spirit remains intact, one can continuously resurrect, and the physical body can be created at will.

Under Jiang Bai's gaze, one after another great path emerged from the void, directly bombarding his primordial spirit.

At the same time, the Dao runes that had previously squeezed his physical body reappeared, crushing into the Immortal Golden Core within him.

In an instant, Jiang Bai's primordial spirit and the immortal golden core within his body both suffered a terrifying blow.

The primordial spirit was bombarded by dozens of Great Dao attacks in an instant.

The immortal golden core was crushed by endless Dao runes until it showed signs of breaking and was on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Jiang Bai endured the impact of the Great Dao, frantically circulating his alchemy techniques to resonate with the figure within the Immortal Golden Core.

The plan has changed; we can no longer ascend to the Immortal King realm before delving into the deeper realms of alchemy.

Now, Jiang and Bai need to work together.

"I don't need you to crush me, I'll shatter myself." Jiang Bai swung his fist and shattered the bombarding Dao runes and Dao beams, roaring angrily.

Wherever the angry roar passed, the chaotic sea trembled, giving birth to countless worlds.

"Come out here." With Jiang Bai's gritted teeth, the incredibly hard Immortal Golden Core shattered, and a child-sized Jiang Bai sat cross-legged in his dantian.

The fragments of the Immortal Golden Core split into two groups: one merged into his physical body, and the other merged into Jiang Bai's primordial spirit, helping him resist the bombardment of the Great Dao.

Jiang Bai sat cross-legged in the chaotic sea, calmly accepting the baptism of the Immortal King Tribulation. His primordial spirit and the nascent soul within him communicated with each other, sharing the destruction of the primordial spirit by the rules of the Great Dao.

Under the baptism of the Great Dao's bombardment, the nascent soul within his body grew increasingly powerful.

When the Celestial King Tribulation ended, Jiang Bai slowly opened his eyes. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, there was already the aura of the creation of heaven and earth.

Jiang Bai looked up and saw the River of Time within reach; he could watch it by activating his magic.

All causes and effects in the world can be observed.

When Jiang Bai stepped out of the Chaos Sea and returned to the Shrouding the Heavens Universe, he immediately saw the direction of the Immortal Realm and witnessed the earth-shattering battle within the strange world.

The ruthless Wushi is currently engaged in a final battle with the Undying Emperor, a native immortal of the strange world.

Under pressure, all four of them ascended to immortality at a speed far exceeding that of the original story.

Looking at the Shrouding the Heavens Universe, Jiang Bai released his own limitations and began to give back. In Jiang Bai's eyes, the myriad paths of the Shrouding the Heavens Universe began to cheer and rejoice.

Jiang Bai also felt a sense of grievance, as if a wronged wife who had been wronged for many years had finally received a reward.

This made Jiang Bai laugh.
