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

Chapter 136 Chaotic Ancient Times III

To Jiang Bai's surprise, after Luan Gu finished taking revenge, he came to the Heavenly Court and signed up to become a Heavenly Soldier Commander.

Compared to a local quasi-emperor, the Heavenly Army Commander is like the head of a chicken, commanding a region, while the Heavenly Army Commander is like the tail of a phoenix, magnificent but suppressed and controlled.

However, when Jiang Bai saw Luan Gu inquiring everywhere about how to get an audience with him, he understood the reason: there was a secret that Jiang Bai needed to answer.

Even so, Jiang Bai was still puzzled. You are invincible, you have defeated all the people in the world, and you can get an audience with me after obtaining the title of Emperor.

After learning about Luan Gu's needs, the Supreme Witch Clan leader who processed Luan Gu's application to join the Heavenly Court asked the same question.

Luan Gu sighed softly, "I can't wait any longer."

Okay...that makes sense.

The Supreme Witch Clan said softly to Luan Gu, "The opportunity to meet the Human King is easy to obtain. Becoming a Great Emperor and becoming famous throughout history allows you to create your own path of evolution, also known as the Cultivation Method."

"Or perhaps some earth-shattering event was discovered, which attracted the appearance of the King of Men. That's all."

"These two methods were even developed by ourselves, so their authenticity cannot be guaranteed."

The Supreme Ruler of the Witch Clan stated that Luan Gu's attempt to join the Heavenly Court in order to meet Jiang Bai ahead of time was somewhat reckless.

After all, it's really not a shortcut.

For Luan Gu, who had already weathered many storms, this reply did not stir his emotions.

Afterwards, Luan Gu stayed inside the Heavenly Court, where he fought against many quasi-emperor-level heavenly soldiers to hone his skills.

Five hundred years later, Luan Gu broke through to the Supreme level at the age of over a thousand.

Because the Path to Supreme Power had been restored, Luan Gu received the Blessing of Heaven and Earth during his breakthrough.

That day, Luan Gu looked at the heavenly soldiers enjoying his supreme blessings and his eyes reddened. He thought of his dead brothers, wife, and family.

The agreement was that everyone would take turns traversing the Path to Supreme Power, obtaining the Supreme Blessing, and using this thing to strengthen the family's foundation and build a behemoth family.

He had promised to fulfill this dream together, but now he was all alone. His family, brothers, lover, and teachers, who should have enjoyed his supreme blessings, had all passed away.

After his heartbreak, Luan Gu's resolve hardened. He was determined to cultivate diligently, to become invincible, and to earn the title of Great Emperor.

Then he was going to see Jiang Bai and ask if, after surpassing the Immortal King, it was truly possible to resurrect a deceased lover or brother.

With unwavering resolve, Luan Gu requested leave from the Nine Li Emperor, who was in charge of the Heavenly Army, to go to the Primordial Ancient Realm and seize the title of Emperor.

This request for leave amused Jiuli, who was usually quite warlike. He immediately told Luan Gu, a notorious oddball in the ancient world, "Go, fight! Fight hard! Make a name for your Heavenly Court!"

Luan Gu then solemnly declared that there was no problem and that he would absolutely not bring shame to the Heavenly Court.

Thanks to Jiuli's big mouth, the news of the chaos in ancient times spread throughout the Peach Banquet held by the Western Emperor, which was only open to Red Dust Immortals and above.

By this time, many immortals in the mortal world knew that Luan Gu was vying for the title of Great Emperor on behalf of the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, everyone learned about the story of Luan Gu.

The story of Chaos Ancient is quite bizarre, but for the celestial beings in the Heavenly Court who are in seclusion year-round, they all know about it but don't pay attention to it.

After hearing this, everyone said that they must pay attention to this unlucky kid. He lost every battle, but finally forged his own path, became a demon, and turned the tables. It's the first time I've ever seen anything like it.

The main theme is that the world is so vast that anything is possible.

But the old Golden Crow Supreme also said: "Being able to bear the title of 'Chaotic Ancient' is truly impressive."

Zhan Chenzangwang also laughed and said, "That's true. I feel like he wouldn't be so unlucky if he changed his name."

Jiang Bai understood their words because, in his eyes, Luan Gu was always burdened with some cause and effect.

"I guess I brought this upon myself," Jiang Bai chuckled.

Jiang Bai guessed that when Luan Gu reached the Immortal King level and saw the karma of the heavens, he would most likely collapse again. The karma brought about by a single name had plunged him into suffering for the first half of his life.

Of course, Luan Gu might have been able to persevere back then, after all, he had experienced a lot.

Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Bai and the others, Luan Gu began to emulate the former Emperor Taihuang, visiting the gates of various sects and powerful clans one by one, and exchanging greetings with each one.

The supreme rulers of various lineages and powerful clans were in agony. They admitted they were weak, but they couldn't expect someone to challenge them every tens of thousands of years.

Seeing the distress on the faces of the supreme beings of various races, Jiang Bai smiled. This was good; it allowed them to directly engage in infighting.

If you don't want to be surpassed by one successor after another, then you must accelerate your cultivation, make rapid progress, and strive to suppress those who come after you.

Otherwise, they will only become stepping stones for those who come after them to become emperors.

However, Luangu was much more polite than Taihuang and did not commit too many killings, only defeating without killing.

Even some supreme beings who were too weak were only defeated by Chaos Ancient, without being injured.

"Challenging your own limits, using every bit of power to the extreme?" Inside the Heavenly Court, the Western Emperor's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The Emperor, no, the Supreme One, has reached the pinnacle of mastery over power.

However, in a battle between opponents of the same level, the ability to injure without killing, or to lose without killing, requires a completely different level of control over power.

In their view, Luan Gu was challenging his own limits.

"It is indeed a challenge to the limits, and most likely it is preparation for the Immortal Path in the Mortal World," Wu Shi said softly, explaining again.

Five thousand years later, Luan Gu returned to the Heavenly Court and, under the watchful eyes of many Heavenly Sovereigns, began a transformation.

Jiang Bai and the others were also secretly observing.

Luan Gu ignited his own Great Dao Fire using an extreme method, transforming his lifespan of millions of years into nourishment for the Dao Fire.

In this self-destructive situation, Luan Gu, having honed his "ultimate control over his own power" through battles with numerous supreme beings, began to frantically mobilize the Dao Fire to ignite the "essence" that had been sublimated.

Use these essences to create a divine embryo within the body.

This process is as perilous as forging steel with an ordinary hammer.

What's even more reckless is that the iron itself forges itself.

It's very dangerous; it tests a person's character, their resolve, and their courage.

Secondly, it tests a person's mastery of power. If one cannot master it well and not waste every bit of the essence burned out, one will fail to condense the divine embryo and die because there is not enough essence.

Luan Gu's mental state is not a problem, after all, he is capable of recovering from a mental illness.

Luan Gu's control over power is also quite good. After all, five thousand years of challenges have passed, and Luan Gu's mastery of power has reached its peak. He can defeat many supreme beings who are not as good as him without killing them or injuring them.

Three years later, Luan Gu's old demonic body was completely burned away by the Great Dao Fire, and Luan Gu's new divine body was fully formed.

The moment Luan Gu opened his eyes, terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Court. Several guardians and Heavenly Court Supremes who were also comprehending the Dao felt the pressure, and their expressions changed drastically.

They are all beings who have gone very far on the path to supreme power, and Luan Gu would never have challenged them first.

As a result, once Luan Gu embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world, he had only undergone one transformation in his previous life, yet he made them feel pressure simply by opening his eyes. This was too outrageous.

Keep in mind that the current Luan Gu is only a little over six thousand years old, while they are already tens of thousands of years old.

A single lifetime of transformation surpasses their tens of thousands of years of cultivation?

That's absolutely outrageous.

“It surpasses all the supreme beings in the ancient realm,” Jiang Bai said quietly.

After all, the Primordial Ancient Realm has not been formed for very long. Although there are many Supreme Beings, they cannot embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world. How fast can they progress by relying solely on arduous cultivation?
