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

Chapter 125 Disdain II

At the same time, this battle caused Emperor Xia Yan to offend many people, and many supreme beings felt that they had lost face.

After all, being defeated in front of everyone would be too humiliating to spare their lives.

The Ninefold Imperial Pass was specially preserved by Shen Bai as a public place for people to seek enlightenment.

But in recent years, few people have come here. Everyone goes to the Daoist Treasure Land to comprehend the Dao, hoping to obtain the inheritance of immortality. So this place seems extremely deserted.

Almost no one came, allowing the Emperor to easily book the entire venue.

The Supreme Emperor ventured deep into the Chaos Mountain, where the statues of various ancient emperors, great emperors, and celestial deities resided, to gain enlightenment.

Finally, the Emperor arrived at the Chaos Mountain where the statue of Jiang Bai was located, entered it, and respectfully bowed and worshipped before the statue.

I am using Senior Wang's name to go into seclusion; please forgive me.

A moment later, under Jiang Bai's curious gaze, the Supreme Emperor sat down cross-legged and set up a great formation, transforming the Daoist aura of the ancient emperors, celestial beings, and great emperors into Daoist attacks, which he then channeled into his body to hone his own Dao.

Under Jiang Bai's watchful gaze, the Emperor's physical body and primordial spirit began to be constantly impacted, entering a process of cracking and healing.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but feel that this process resembled the tribulation of becoming a Celestial King.

After some deduction, it turned out that the Supreme Emperor had been born long ago and had witnessed the ruthless man undergoing the tribulation of becoming an immortal king, which greatly inspired him.

"So, this kid used the Great Dream of the Mortal World before to enhance the strength of his primordial spirit."

"interesting."

"But it's crazy enough. They still have countless years of lifespan to enjoy and an easy and proper path to immortality, but they choose to undergo a forced transformation, bringing them to the brink of death, and then improve their cultivation."

Three hundred years later, the Emperor's physical body and primordial spirit were severely damaged and broken, and even his vital essence could not be retained.

Just as it was about to perish, a life force rose from the dragon spine within the Emperor's body, healing everything.

He lived a second life, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

"So, those kids are really unlucky," Jiang Bai sighed.

The Emperor Taihuang, who had just stepped out of the Ninefold Imperial Pass, felt the world suddenly go dark. Then he entered a killing formation, with endless sword energy slashing at him.

This is a supreme killing formation.

"So you can't beat them one-on-one, so you resort to a shameless gang attack? You deserve to be trash."

Emperor Xia Yan looked at the nine figures who didn't even dare to show their true faces and uttered a mocking remark.

This killing formation was surrounded and attacked by nine supreme beings.

"You're courting death." The Nine Bright Supremes moved simultaneously, unleashing their forbidden secret techniques in an instant.

"You're the ones courting death." Emperor Xia Yan coldly raised his hand, and nine giant dragons, formed from the imperial dragon energy, charged out with an aura that could suppress the world.

The dragon tore apart the forbidden secret technique, shattered the great formation, and forced the nine supreme beings into the depths of the starry sky.

"How is this possible? How can you be so strong?" a supreme being roared.

As fellow supreme beings of the new era, how come this guy is so strong?

"Because you are noobs in the Supreme Realm, while I have already embarked on the mortal immortal path."

The Supreme Emperor didn't know if the gap between the supreme beings of the past was as large as it is now, but he felt that the supreme beings currently besieging him would definitely not be able to defeat the emperors of the past.

He had already made great strides in the Supreme Realm, and killing them would be no problem for him.

Just as no matter how many ants there are, they can't kill a dragon. "Impossible! You've only been a Supreme for a few years, and your lifespan hasn't even ended yet. You haven't even finished walking the path of the Supreme, so how could you possibly embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world?" one of the Supremes roared.

Since the formation of the Primordial Ancient Realm and the reduction in the difficulty of cultivation, Supreme Beings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in various major clans, and some Supreme Beings have begun to classify the combat power of the Supreme Realm.

After comparison, it was found that some of the weaker supreme combat powers were only comparable to the former quasi-emperor level nine heavens.

Some, relying on their powerful bloodline and physique, can rival some of the unorthodox paths to enlightenment in the past, such as the Great Accomplishment Saint Body of the past.

Some of the strongest among the Supremes are comparable to those who committed suicide in the past, and the peak Supremes may be comparable to ordinary Great Emperors in the past.

But no one really knows how strong ordinary emperors were in the past, so it's hard to make a comparison.

In the study of the comparison of supreme combat power, everyone found that it is very difficult for supreme beings to improve their combat power, and there may even be a situation where they cannot make a single step forward for thousands of years.

The prodigies of the Blue Maple lineage of the Immortal Realm, who were previously killed by the Supreme Emperor, were descendants of the native Red Dust Immortals of the Strange World. They were renowned for their strength. The reason they could have become emperors if they had been born in the past was because they were still able to make great strides in this era when it was difficult for supreme beings to improve their combat power.

Even so, they did not embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

In the minds of many supreme beings, Emperor Xia Yan, with his peak supreme level, was already quite capable of cultivating to the level of an ordinary Great Emperor in the past. How could he possibly embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world? What makes him so special?

He was just an ordinary human. Apart from comprehending the imperial dragon aura and having some heaven-defying killing power, he had nothing else. So how could he embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world?
A sense of resentment permeated the hearts of the nine supreme beings. Each of them possessed extraordinary bloodlines, either having ancestors who were supreme beings from strange worlds, descendants of immortal lineages, or bloodlines of emperors from the original Shrouding the Heavens universe, or special physiques.

Neither of them embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

"Because I'm crazy. When you thought I was just idly building the Great Xia Dynasty, I was actually indulging in a dreamlike world, wandering between the real and the unreal, between the two perceptions of an ordinary supreme being building a dynasty and a peerless genius honing themselves, thus tempering my primordial spirit."

A glint of madness flashed in the Emperor's eyes; those hundreds of years of life must have been incredibly exciting.

If he fails, his invincible spirit will be destroyed, and he will be reduced to the state of an ordinary supreme being who establishes an empire, becoming as vulgar as the trash on the other side.

However, the Emperor Taihuang did not believe he would fail, after all, he was incredibly powerful.

And indeed, he succeeded. After walking for three hundred years through the illusions and realities of the mortal world, he awoke with a full primordial spirit. After nourishing his physical body, his cultivation level increased dramatically, allowing him to take the second step. He imitated the scene he had once witnessed of a ruthless person undergoing the tribulation of becoming an immortal king, using the Great Dao to kill him, breaking free from his cocoon and embarking on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

"They can't even train to the death, they can only live off the benefits of the times, yet they dare to claim they've surpassed the great emperors of the old era?"

"Utterly ridiculous, die."

The Emperor wielded his sword, increasing his killing power once again, forcing the nine opponents to retreat violently.

Without any battle formation to conceal it, news of the battle spread quickly, attracting many onlookers who were astonished by the Emperor's incredible strength, finding it utterly outrageous.

"What I hate most in my life is your claim that you have surpassed the old era."

"Especially those one or two good-blooded, atavistic losers who think they're awesome."

"If they're really that powerful, why don't they go and overthrow their own ancestors? Is that benevolence?"

In the starry sky, the Supreme Emperor raised his sword high, gathering millions of dragon energies, and coldly slashed down, instantly blasting the Nine Supremes to pieces.

Jiang Bai laughed when he saw this, and the others in the Heavenly Court also laughed. They felt that the Supreme Emperor was the level of an emperor in their understanding.

He is ruthless, resolute, and hateful enough. Most importantly, he disrespects heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and doesn't care about so-called bloodline theories.

"We will soon have another companion among us." The voice of the Golden Ancient Emperor echoed softly in the small group.

The new supreme beings born in the Primordial Ancient Era never caught their eye; the gap was simply too vast.

The Supreme Emperor was the first, because he was strong and ruthless enough to hone himself to the level of the Great Emperor of the old era in this era of abundant longevity resources, and then embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world.
