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

Chapter 11: Betrayal Once Again

The ever-changing battle situation, the sudden intervention, and the easy killing of the immortal queen by Chuan Ying left the spectators dumbfounded.

Enraged, Ning Fei unleashed his Imperial Laws, his eyes turning bloodshot as he charged towards Chuan Ying.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He wanted to kill Chuanying to pay for the life of the Undying Empress, and then kill the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

Just when everyone thought that the next step would be for the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and Ning Fei to besiege Chuan Ying and deal with this common enemy, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality coldly attacked from behind with a sword, causing Ning Fei, who was already burning his essence and blood to boost his combat power, to suffer another serious injury and withdraw from his peak state.

"If you're crazy, you should let me absorb your essence and blood to continue your imperial destiny and end this farce."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality coldly continued his attack on Ning Fei, aiming to take his life.

As Chuan Ying attempted to stop the Eternal Celestial Venerable, hoping to gain a temporary ally, four imperial weapons flew out from the Immortal Tomb to stop him.

"You can't stop me." Chuan Ying laughed loudly, his staff flashing as he used the Milky Way as arrows to fight against the Emperor's weapon, which was remotely controlled by the Supreme.

On the mythical battlefield, the Immortal Daoist was already considering retreating, and the Suanni Supreme's face was extremely gloomy.

Seeing this turn of events, Jiang Bai laughed loudly, "So you guys aren't in cahoots after all."

Then Jiang Bai attacked even more recklessly, advancing when the enemy retreated, striking once to avoid a hundred blows – this is a saying left by our ancestors.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai roared, "Human King Sacrifice!"

The third effect of this secret technique involves self-sacrifice to gain even greater combat power.

The Immortal Daoist and the Suanni Supreme immediately frowned; this man was a madman.

In the past, if the current emperor could not quickly defeat the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone, he would be willing to take a step back and end the game once the opponent showed signs of retreat.

But Jiang Bai refused to let them leave.

"Fellow Daoist, I can forgive everything that happened before. How about we call it quits?" the Undying Daoist roared.

Jiang Bai's self-sacrifice made them feel suffocated; if they didn't undergo a process of sublimation, they would probably be beaten to death here.

"I'm all alone. If I don't act a little crazy, you'll think I'm easy to bully. Fellow Daoists, wouldn't it be great if your deaths reinforced my reputation as a madman?"

Jiang Bai laughed loudly and fought even more vigorously.

"Come back to life, Supreme Mu Ming."

The Supreme Mu Ming mark within the Myriad Souls Banner emitted boundless light, and his figure appeared, wielding an Emperor Sword in one hand and the Myriad Souls Banner in the other, as he charged towards the Suanni Supreme.

This scene caused the pupils of the Supreme Beings in the forbidden zone to shrink sharply. They could truly see the Great Dao of the Supreme Being in Mu Ming's figure.

Jiang Bai revealed a ferocious smile to the Immortal Taoist, flipped his hand, and the Vajra Pestle appeared, radiating endless Buddhist light.

"Fellow Daoist, the second round has begun."

Having once attempted to break through the suppression of the Great Dao and forcibly prove his Dao, Jiang Bai, now at the peak of Blood Qi and possessing heaven-defying combat power, is already stronger than the Undying Daoist. It would require the Undying Daoist and the Suanni Supreme to join forces to fight against him.

After sacrificing himself and forcibly boosting his combat power, Jiang Bai could be considered a half-step Heavenly Emperor, if not a Heavenly Emperor. His combat power was enough to overwhelm the Undying Daoist and the Suanni Supreme. Given time, killing the two would not be a problem.

Therefore, now that the Suanni Supreme is being restrained, the Undying Daoist truly doesn't think he has any way out, and madness appears in his eyes.

"You forced me to do this." The Immortal Taoist muttered, and an ancient incantation resounded throughout the universe.

The power of faith belonging to the Undying Emperor began to stir, ancient divine sounds resounded in the universe, and a cursed force pressed down on Jiang Bai.

This is a forbidden secret technique created by the Immortal Emperor, used to suppress one person with the faith of all the heavens.

"You're not the only one who understands the power of faith." On Mount Sumeru, in the courtyard of Amitabha Buddha, Jiang Bai's faith god gave a cold smile.

In the universe, the faith power of King Jiang Bai and the faith power of the Undying Emperor instantly mingled together.

"This is impossible," the Immortal Daoist exclaimed in shock.

His origin, the Immortal Emperor, was such a hero, having gone extremely far on the path of faith. How could anyone who came after him possibly catch up?

"Nothing is impossible; arrogance is the greatest original sin."

Jiang Bai sneered, with the Demon-Subduing Pestle above his head, his left hand holding the Human King Seal and his right hand holding the Heaven-Turning Seal. The two secret techniques inherent to the Human King Body carried the aura of suppressing all heavens and struck the Undying Daoist who had been momentarily stunned.

Battles between supreme beings often end in an instant, and the Undying Daoist was severely injured in a flash.

The deity within the vajra began chanting scriptures.

As the chanting of Buddhist scriptures resounded, the power of faith emanating from the Immortal Taoist began to slowly dissipate.

"No!" The Undying Daoist roared, realizing his foundation had been touched, and tried to resist, but Jiang Bai directly suppressed him and tore his imperial body apart. Amitabha Buddha's journey in the power of faith was no shorter than that of the Undying Emperor.

In the original work, the Divine Knight can use certain rules of the power of faith to make the power of faith on Mount Sumeru "give back" to all living beings.

Amitabha Buddha, a great emperor who had deeply studied the power of faith, naturally understood this power as well.

The power of faith gathered on the Immortal Daoist was dispersed, transforming into a rain of light that drifted towards all beings in the universe who worshipped the Immortal Emperor, merging into their bodies, healing their hidden injuries, and aiding their cultivation.

For the power of faith to be pure, it lies in the purification of the choices made by the believer and the believed.

There is gain and loss; this is an inevitable process.

For many years, the Immortal Taoist has been drawing power from the faith of all living beings in order to survive, and has never "give back" to them.

Now that the deity of the Vajra Pestle is helping him "give back," it's equivalent to directly affecting the very foundation of the Immortal Taoist's life.

Click,

Jiang Bai shattered the Immortal Daoist, who was extremely weak from the excessive "feedback," and directly tortured and killed him.

Jiang Bai collected the imperial origin from the Undying Daoist, which was of great research value. Although this guy was born from the power of faith and lived by it, he was also an ancient emperor.

It is the most famous work of the Immortal Emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Suanni Supreme immediately headed towards the Big Dipper.

He can't fight anymore; he still has enough lifespan left, so he can retreat.

Outside the Big Dipper, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality had already killed Ning Fei, absorbed his remaining essence, and restored his body to a good state, where he engaged in a life-or-death battle with Chuan Ying.

The fight between the two was brutal; they were the kind of enemies who would fight to the death.

So much so that in such a short time, both of them had already bled.

If things continue like this, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality will once again enter a state of "poor" health.

Jiang Bai chased after the Suanni Supreme towards the Big Dipper, and shouted to the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, "Heavenly Venerable, stop the Suanni, let's join forces."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality glanced at Jiang Bai, who had the Demon-Subduing Pestle above his head, held the Myriad Souls Banner, and was bleeding profusely and in poor condition, and chuckled: "Fellow Daoist, I am the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone."

The Longevity Sword flipped and slashed fiercely at Jiang Bai, its light shattering the starry river along its path.

Within the Divine Void of the Big Dipper, a tower rose up, pressing down upon Jiang Bai.

Inside the Immortal Mausoleum, an old woman emerged, clutching a jade ruyi, and headed towards Mount Sumeru.

"I apologize, fellow Daoist. Just now, Shenxu and I reached a cooperation agreement."

"Target: Hunt you down."

"Oh, and there are also fellow Daoists from the Underworld; they also want to settle their karmic debts with Chuanying."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai remained expressionless. "I knew it would be like this. The smoother things go in the beginning, the more devastating the crisis will be later."

Above the underworld, the figure of the Prison Suppressor King appeared.

The beings of the universe were stunned by this scene; the turn of events in the war of gods was too abrupt.

At the same time, everyone realized that the legacies of the Immortal Taoist, the Immortal Empress, Ning Fei, and a series of other Immortal Emperors had all been sold.

With wolves in front, tigers behind, and a desolate tower suppressing them overhead, it could be said that the life-or-death situation had come to a head. Chuan Ying came to Jiang Bai's side and said mockingly, "To ally with the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone means to suffer the price of betrayal."

Jiang Bai glanced at Chuan Ying and sneered, "Emperor Venerable once associated with the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone."

Others may not know how the magnificent scene of numerous emperors in the ancient Heavenly Court came about, but Jiang Bai does.

That was something the Emperor had obtained by using the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and forbidden secret techniques to extend the life of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone for two thousand years.

Ignoring Chuan Ying, Jiang Bai looked at Changsheng Tianzun and Suanni Zhizun, and once again performed the Human King Sacrifice, offering himself up to increase his combat power by half a step from the half-step Heavenly Emperor level, reaching the level of a quarter of a Heavenly Emperor. He sneered:
“Heavenly Venerable, I have been unlucky all my life and have always been betrayed, so I eventually came to understand a principle.”

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality felt a surge of crisis and instinctively raised his sword to block.

The clang of metal against metal resounded throughout the universe as the Celestial Venerable of Immortality was smashed away by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

"As long as I am strong enough to crush all enemies, I can survive and I don't care about any betrayal."

Having sacrificed himself twice, Jiang Bai, whose black hair had turned white, stood under the starry sky and mocked "betrayal" and "bad luck".
