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

Chapter 42 doesn't fit the character's persona, senior.

The beings in the universe felt like they were going crazy. Those powerful races kept sighing that it was really good to live so long, because they could see everything.

First, the Great Emperor Wushi, who had not yet attained enlightenment, killed the Supreme Light and Darkness, who had recovered to his peak and was once an invincible ancient emperor.

Then came the Great Emperor Wushi's defying the heavens, attempting to attain enlightenment in an era when it seemed impossible.

At the critical moment, the six supreme beings of the forbidden zones returned to their peak and emerged to hunt down the Western Emperor's family.

In the ancient times, the supreme deity of all races, the Immortal Emperor, was born and came to confront the Human King, leading to a great war between the two sides.

After the earth-shattering battle broke out, the Supreme Being of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was born first. He turned out to be a Great Accomplished Saint Body, and his opponent was the protector of the Great Emperor Wushi.

Immediately afterward, the father of the Great Emperor Wushi, whose Great Accomplished Holy Body was Yunxiao, died in battle.

Not long after, the Great Emperor Wushi successfully proved himself against the heavens. Holding the Myriad Souls Banner of the Human King, he angrily killed six supreme beings of the forbidden zones. Afterwards, he joined forces with the Human King to besiege the supreme god of the ancient times, the Undying Emperor.

But this earth-shattering battle wasn't the most exciting part.

The most exciting part was the spatial rift created by the Immortal Emperor's final strike, leading to a world where immortal substances emerged.

Is that the realm of immortals?

Have the supreme deities of the ancient times already become immortals?
Not only all living beings in the universe, but even the supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life were in an uproar. What the hell was going on?

That old bird, the Immortal Emperor, had some good stuff but didn't tell them. That's just too much!

The excited crowd was chanting "mud horse" repeatedly, unable to stop.

.........

In the Divine Land World, within the Human King's Palace, Jiang Bai extracted the memories of the Source Ghost and Source God, crammed on knowledge about formations, especially Source Techniques, and then secluded himself for two hundred years, pushing them to an even higher level.

Then Jiang Bai had Wu Shi move Kunlun Mountain to the Divine Land World and set up a Source Heaven Formation inside for the Great Accomplished Holy Body Yunxiao.

He then connected this magic array with the Eye of Creation, the Dragon Vein Holy Spirit in the Central Continent of the Big Dipper, and the Stone Embryo that the Western Emperor was fortunate enough to find, allowing the Great Accomplished Holy Body Yunxiao to strengthen himself by seizing their creations.

"From the perspective of the principle of cause and effect, this method has huge flaws."

"Yunxiao is essentially in debt to this universe, and he has to repay it."

The statement that the Holy Spirit is the beloved son of heaven and earth is not a joke.

In the primordial world, the Holy Spirits, especially the Great Accomplished Holy Spirits, should be comparable in rank to the innate deities born of heaven and earth.

Therefore, Yunxiao's act of seizing the creation of two holy spirits to reshape his physical body is a way of borrowing money from heaven and earth.

In the past, Jiang Bai would not have cared, but after studying the power of faith and learning that the Immortal King had to give back to the universe he was born from, and after experiencing bad luck and repaying his debts, Jiang Bai still held the concept of cause and effect in high esteem.

It's best not to owe anything if you can avoid it. Just like how he used Wushi as bait, he's now helping Wushi save his father and settling the karmic debt.

Upon hearing this, Wushi, Xihuang, and the Great Accomplished Holy Body of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land asked, "Then how should this karma be repaid?"

“Killing the supreme beings of the forbidden zones could bring blessings to the universe, or it could lead to a rapid advancement in cultivation, allowing one to become an immortal in this universe, achieve a higher status, and then give back,” Jiang Bai said calmly.

“There are many ways.”

Wu Shi, Xi Huang, and the Great Accomplished Holy Body of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief. Was it really that simple?

They ignored the rest and only remembered the first five words: Kill the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

Jiang Bai smiled too; it really was that simple.

This universe actually needs very little, or rather, all universes don't need much. By eliminating the internal cancers, the cultivators within become stronger.

The biggest cancer in the Shrouding the Heavens universe is the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.

For the universe to develop, people must be born, experience trials, fight, prove their path, and step towards higher levels.

The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones will directly disrupt this process; their hunting of the universe will directly annihilate any potential geniuses who might emerge at a higher level while they are still weak.

Throughout history, countless prodigies who had the potential to attain enlightenment were destroyed by supreme beings in forbidden zones at the near-ninth level. The number is simply innumerable. The Golden Crow Emperor had the potential to attain enlightenment in his first life, but in order to survive, he still researched the Nirvana Method and ultimately took a huge gamble.

During the Golden Age, the Fire Kirin, Dao Yi, and other ancient royal children each possessed an array left by their fathers to conceal their tribulation aura. This array could be used up to the Quasi-Ninth Stage, allowing them to directly undergo the Great Emperor Tribulation.

The defense is against other supreme beings in the restricted area.

Therefore, the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones are a malignant tumor hindering the development of the universe. Eliminating them is to benefit the universe and repay the karmic debt.

"I'm going to kill people in the forbidden zone," Emperor Wushi said directly.

Jiang Bai nodded. As long as you're happy. Anyway, you're now at the Heavenly Emperor level, and even the forbidden zone can't do anything to you.

"But the problem is you have to find the restricted areas."

Wu Shi's expression instantly turned ugly. Indeed, he needed to find the forbidden zone.

The remaining restricted areas are now hidden too well, making them difficult to find.

In the original novel, Ye Fan was incredibly powerful, yet he was helpless against the hidden Primordial Ancient Mine.

"What should we do then?" asked the Great Accomplished Saint Body of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, looking worried.

"Of course, it's about developing the inside game, making some of the top players in the restricted area who think they can negotiate with us betray the others," Jiang Bai smiled slightly.

There are two types of supreme beings in forbidden zones. One type is those who are deeply sinful and have committed mad massacres of the universe, such as the Stone Emperor and the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

One type is those who have special methods for achieving longevity, or those who, while still possessing sufficient blood and energy, go into a deep sleep and continue sleeping until the path to immortality opens, with examples such as the Blood Phoenix Ancestral Emperor and the Myriad Dragon Emperor.

Those who can be discussed are people like the Myriad Dragon Emperor and the Blood Phoenix Ancestor Emperor.

They certainly didn't want to die alongside the other supreme beings of the forbidden zones, especially now that they had seen another world and possessed the substance of immortality.

Jiang Bai flipped his hand, and a ball of light composed of the power of faith appeared. Through the boundless power of faith, everyone heard inquiries about transactions from all living beings.

Did the Immortal Emperor enter the Celestial Realm?
Could that world grant immortality?

What exactly is Weili?
Great King, I beg you, grant us immortality!

Jiang Bai slightly circulated his magical power, from which several special sounds emanated.

Tian Yuanzi of the human race requests an audience with the Human King.

The Turtle Taoist of the North Sea requests an audience with the Human King.

The Purple Spirit Venerable requests an audience with the Human King.

The Flame Kirin of Fire Kirin Cave requests an audience with the Human King.

Wanlongchao Qianlun requests an audience with the King of Men.

………….

"See, many people actually want to be our friends."

"After all, I can fight to a standstill with the Undying Emperor, so in their eyes I must be able to open that world."

"They might be starting to suspect that the Immortal Emperor and I have obtained the true immortal inheritance and know many secrets."

Jiang Bai smiled and said casually.

"It seems that Senior Human King has long wanted to make a deal with the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone?" the Western Emperor suddenly said.

This doesn't fit Jiang Bai's character and style.

If it were the old Jiang Bai, wouldn't he have killed them all?
