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

Chapter 154 The Black Emperor's Reputation Improves

Ye Fan, his face dark with anger, suppressed the Human Emperor and walked toward Jiang Bai, bowing once more and saying, "Senior, I am powerless to assume the position of Heavenly Emperor."

Jiang Bai waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, you can be the Heavenly Emperor."

After a pause, Jiang Bai surveyed the crowd and continued, "Although your cultivation level is not the highest, I believe that you will definitely catch up with everyone here in the future and surpass them one by one."

Jiang Bai's trust made everyone present look at Ye Fan. Could he really do that?

"You're talking nonsense. Although Ye Fan defeated his contemporaries and all the returning True Immortal seniors in the Supreme Realm, he has never defeated a returning Immortal King or any of us who have already achieved the status of Immortal King," Yu Feng jumped out and said.

Yu Feng was genuinely indignant; he was not convinced.

"Ye Fan will definitely succeed in the future." Jiang Bai stared at Yu Feng and said with a smile.

At that moment, a thought popped into everyone's mind: Could this Ye Fan be Jiang Bai's illegitimate son?

Could Black King's question have been pre-arranged?

“Yes, I also believe in young friend Ye Fan.” Wu Shi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Now the others were even more confused. You believe it too?

Because of the sudden change of the Heavenly Emperor, the discussion in the second half of the banquet ended before it could continue.

Jiang Bai called out to Ye Fan and led him into the myriad realms.

At this time, war raged throughout the heavens, with infected dark creatures battling and killing uninfected beings.

In some great realms, Jiang Bai led Ye Fan to meet the Dark Immortal King, who had already begun to emerge.

He then explained the terrifying nature of the dark creatures, how a single infection could create a dark breeding ground, nurture a continuous army of darkness, and easily destroy a vast realm.

This infection was so widespread that it plunged the entire universe into war.

Jiang Bai then led Ye Fan to the depths of the Boundary Sea, where they watched the strange kings who were being stopped by some unknown force but were still relentlessly attacking.

"Although some Celestial Kings from the past have returned to our side, their numbers are still not enough."

"A quasi-immortal emperor like myself doesn't even know how many enemies I have."

"Ye Fan, the future is dark and bleak."

"If we cannot improve our cultivation as soon as possible to help the Desolate Emperor and the others, then before we grow up, this world may be torn apart and plunged into the most terrifying and endless war."

"The Heavenly Emperor's position has immense karmic blessings. As long as you can withstand it, you will receive positive feedback and your cultivation will progress rapidly."

"do you understand?"

A shadow crossed Ye Fan's eyes; he understood what Jiang Bai meant.

It's practically a matter of entrusting one's orphanage to another, except that this orphanage is the entire primordial ancient world.

But Ye Fan still had one question: "Why me?"

"It's probably because you come from the lineage of the Holy Body and are on good terms with the Black Emperor that Ruthless Man and Wushi won't make things difficult for you."

"You can defeat the others on your own, but these two bugs are not something you can defeat in a short time."

Jiang Bai believed in Ye Fan's potential, but he wouldn't underestimate Wu Shi and Ruthless Man's potential because of that.

According to the original novel of Sacred Ruins, the three truly showed their strength after breaking through the Soul River and after Wushi died in battle.

The immense pressure at that time caused Ye Fan's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, surpassing the Ruthless Man and quickly entering the path of sacrifice.

In the years prior, the trio's strength had not diverged significantly. After returning to the Primordial Ancient Realm, Ye Fan did not disappoint Jiang Bai; to everyone's astonishment, he entered seclusion, handing over the Heavenly Court to the Black Emperor.

Having obtained the righteous cause from Ye Fan, and with the support of Wu Shi, Xi Huang, Yun Xiao, and others, as well as the Black Emperor Sect under his command and the newly recruited Silver Blood Twin Emperors as his disciples and lackeys, the Black Emperor directly began his own Black Emperor Era.

Under the Black Emperor's rule, all living beings in the Primordial Ancient Realm embarked on a brand new... civil war.

It wasn't the Black Emperor causing trouble; it was others who were stirring up trouble. Those who didn't accept Ye Fan as the Heavenly Emperor came out to target Ye Fan's faction.

Ye Fan's disciples, Ye Tong, Xiao Song, Yang Xi, and Hua Hua, were all challenged in turn.

These challengers come from various powerful clans and lineages, and behind them are more or less some True Immortals and Immortal Kings.

The Black Emperor was so angry that he cursed them for being shameless, but he didn't dare to disturb Ye Fan's seclusion and could only endure it for the time being.

Until this day, Ye Tong went to the heavens to train and was severely injured. He was thrown outside the border gate, but his life was not in danger. He just needed to recuperate for a period of time.

Afterwards, Ye Tong recovered and, suppressing her anger, said, "It was an attack by a group of people."

The repeated provocations finally enraged the Black Emperor: "Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return."

The enraged Black Emperor found the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who was a contemporary of Ye Fan, and after a barrage of sweet words, successfully persuaded her to join Ye Fan's faction in the Heavenly Court.

Afterwards, Hei Huang found Ji Haoyue and immediately said, "You don't want your sister to become a widow, do you?"

After that, the Black Emperor found Tai Chu, who had been traveling alone: ​​"I know you have a grudge against the Immortal King of the Tai Chu Ancient Mine lineage. You definitely can't rely on your own strength. Join us."

In the years that followed, Black King began stirring up trouble in various places.

For example, the Black Emperor said to Yao Guang, "You keep following the Empress's path, is it because you lack talent? That's probably why you lost to Ye Fan."

For example, Hei Huang said to Jiang Yifei, "Do you know why you are not as good as Ye Fan? It's because you have always lived in the shadow of your family and have not grown up as wildly as Ye Fan."

For example, the Black Emperor said to Yin Tiande, "Do you know why Yin Qingwu fell in love with Ye Fan? It's because you don't have the charisma to suppress the world on your own."

For example, the Black Emperor said to the Southern Demon, "You and Ye Fan are friends, so I won't bully you. So, join the Heavenly Court to protect me, and you can fight the world alone."

For example, the Black Emperor said to the White Sword God of the God Organization: "If you want to restore the glory of the Heavenly Court, you must surpass the Emperor. So, go and overturn this firmament."

After the Black Emperor stirred things up, many talented individuals from various families and powerful clans broke out of their homes and became independent, infuriating a group of old fogies.

They knew that the Black Emperor was plotting against them, but the Black Emperor's words to Jiang Yifei were too provocative.

Those besieging the Black Emperor discovered that he was now protected by a group of geniuses of Ye Fan's generation, including Nan Yao, and were waiting for them to attack so they could launch a counterattack.

The Light Clan, a powerful cosmic race that primarily challenged Ye Fan's faction in the Heavenly Court, was defeated by the Black Emperor and Nan Yao, who emptied their family's treasure trove.

The leader of the Light Clan roared angrily at Nan Yao and Tai Chu: "Have you really become that dog's lackeys?"

Black King laughed loudly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are partners."

Nan Yao and Tai Chu looked at the leader of the Light Clan with the eyes of looking at an idiot, and said indifferently, "Normally, if you invade a large clan, you will be in the wrong even if you win. But if you cooperate with the Black Emperor, you will not be in the wrong."

Because the Black Emperor angers others, making them attack first.

Afterwards, the Black Emperor provoked all the Immortal King clans of the Primordial Ancient Mine lineage, causing them to attack him. Then, he led the Primordial forces to storm in and exact revenge.

Perhaps because the Black Emperor truly completed the first phase of revenge with the Primordial Chaos, many people who were dissatisfied with the Immortal King Clan joined the Black Emperor's ranks, united, and began to cause trouble everywhere with him.

Gradually, Black King's reputation went from being a mess to being both praised and criticized.
