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

Chapter 93 made a huge mistake.

With Jiang Bai's guidance, coupled with Lin Feng's own good temperament and his truly remarkable aptitude after the cleansing, Lin Feng spent a thousand years to advance from Great Sage to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, just one step away from entering the alternative path to enlightenment.

"Brother, why don't you ask the Void Emperor to help me resist the myriad paths and let me directly undergo the Emperor Tribulation?"

Lin Feng's eyes gleamed with excitement. He had finally realized one thing: as long as he clung to a powerful figure, it would be difficult not to attain enlightenment.

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes. "Your cultivation isn't high enough. You should try to achieve an alternative path to enlightenment first."

Have you ever seen a great emperor who only reached the quasi-ninth level after more than three thousand years? Those who were slower and more steady achieved enlightenment after more than a thousand years.

The time you've wasted is enough for a normal Great Emperor to attain enlightenment twice.

Lin Feng's attempt to overcome the Great Emperor Tribulation failed, and his subsequent unconventional path to enlightenment attracted the attention of the entire universe.

Looking at the void that appeared on the other side, Jiang Bai waved his hand, knowing that he would be needed next.

The price Lin Feng paid for failing his tribulation was damage to his very essence, causing his entire aura to weaken.

"Brother, I'm going to undergo Nirvana ahead of schedule using the method of inscribing a great array within my body." Lin Feng felt that Jiang Bai had previously prevented him from using this method to cleanse his aptitude, and instead used the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, all for this moment.

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes. He was overthinking it.

With the use of a forbidden secret technique at the level of a celestial immortal, Lin Feng was easily cured.

"Keep the Nirvana Method with the great array engraved in your body. Use it when you achieve enlightenment. Right now, you need to accumulate your cultivation. Wait until your cultivation in the void is sufficient, and when you try to resist the myriad paths, you can prove yourself as an emperor in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, how can I prove my awesomeness as the King of Men, for having nurtured a great emperor?"

Jiang Bai said jokingly, but Lin Feng was deeply moved. "Brother, from today onwards, you are my real brother. I was ignorant before and actually called you my little brother."

Xu Kong's pupils contracted sharply. Was the difference between people really that great? He was still thinking about how to prolong his wife's life, while Jiang Bai had already artificially cultivated an emperor.

Moreover, judging from Lin Feng's level, although he is much worse than Lin Feng was at the same level, he has barely reached the passing grade of the Great Emperor.

"The Void is no weaker than anyone else, and the Void lineage cannot be weaker than anyone else either. When I return, I will also study how to cultivate an Emperor." A determined look flashed in the Void's eyes.

Now that he's become the Supreme Emperor, he definitely needs to figure out how to surpass the Human King.

Must I spend my whole life subservient to others?

Void felt that the Human King treated him very well, so if he became stronger, he would also take care of Jiang Bai, but he was indeed unwilling to be subordinate to anyone.

Jiang Bai was unaware of Xu Kong's thoughts; otherwise, he would have definitely said something like, "You're all so intolerant of my title of Human King! What will you do when I change it to Human Emperor? Won't you be furious, and I be ecstatic?"

After Lin Feng was beaten by the void for three months and completely stabilized his realm, Jiang Bai led the two of them to establish a great formation in the chaos.

Using the spiritual veins in the chaos as the foundation of the formation, a forbidden zone that conforms to the operation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is constructed, and the power of this forbidden zone is pushed to the point that it can destroy a quasi-emperor.

A better way to describe it is that it was man-made, a divine punishment.

Lin Feng has a high talent for Origin Arts and has come up with the most ideas for the construction of this forbidden land. Jiang Bai has contributed the most effort, and Xu Kong has done the most hard work.

There's nothing we can do; one of them has a higher cultivation level than Xu Kong, and the other has a higher talent in Origin Techniques.

Three people spent a thousand years to finally construct the first forbidden zone in the depths of the Chaos Sea, the Fallen Ridge that covered thousands of miles of chaos.

This forbidden land contains various Daos such as sound, allure, depravity, darkness, and bloodlust. These Daos clash with each other, unleashing a terrifying power of mental interference that lures people into depravity, ultimately causing them to become lost within, absorbed by the flowers and plants, and finally transformed into nourishment.

"Next, we'll test the intensity. I'll go first." Lin Feng stepped in first.

Lin Feng was unharmed after traveling a hundred miles.

A thousand miles away, Lin Feng was still perfectly fine.

Three thousand miles away, Lin Feng's soul began to suffer.

Four thousand miles away, Lin Feng sat cross-legged to defend against the mental attack. At this moment, the flowers bared their fangs, and the vines transformed into venomous snakes, exuding a dangerous aura as they charged towards Lin Feng.

Suddenly, Lin Feng opened his eyes, circulated his magic power, and a terrifying pressure spread out, instantly destroying everything around him.

Even if it's just an unconventional path to enlightenment, it's still at the supreme level, and one's mind is extremely firm.

However… “It was a forced break free,” the void said calmly.

Four thousand five hundred li, five hundred li away from the center of Fallen Ridge, Lin Feng sat down cross-legged again.

After a few breaths, Lin Feng began to exude an aura of confusion, something a supreme being shouldn't possess.

“As expected, as long as the strength of the Great Dao is sufficient, even a Supreme Being will sink into the environment,” Jiang Bai said, his eyes flashing.

"Should we bring him out?" Void whispered.

Lin Feng was ultimately just an unconventional cultivator trained by Jiang Bai, and his mentality was far inferior to those who entered this realm through life-and-death battles alone.

To illustrate, consider two people: one who fought his way up without any backing, and the other who rose to power with the help of a powerful patron. When faced with a life-or-death crisis where their patron is useless, the former will perform far better than the latter.

“No, this is an opportunity to mend his foundation.” Therefore, Jiang Bai rejected the Void’s proposal.

Soon after, a sharp aura emanated from Lin Feng, cutting through everything.

"All things that have not happened are false and cannot shake my will."

Lin Feng stepped forward again. This time, he walked more smoothly and arrived at the center of Fallen Ridge. There, he fought against the plants and animals manifested by the Great Dao and won the battle.

"How do you feel?" Jiang Bai asked Lin Feng.

"It's perfect." Lin Feng solemnly thanked Jiang Bai and Xu Kong.

Lin Feng told the two that the illusion he encountered was a future event.

"In that illusion, this universe had no human king, no Lianshan Guizang, no Daoist treasure land. It was still a dark and turbulent era, and you, the Void Emperor, were constantly waging war."

"I rose to prominence in the Big Dipper, triumphed over all the Source Arts families with great vigor, became the first Source Master, and finally reached the Saint Realm, where I founded my family."

"But after I died, my family was wiped out, and my legacy was taken away by the few remaining descendants, and eventually inherited by others."

So that's how it is—it's about using another future to disturb people's hearts.

"Perhaps, that wasn't an illusion, but rather the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth allowing you to experience another future," Jiang Bai murmured.

Upon hearing this, Void then got up and stepped into Fallen Ridge. Soon after, he walked out with a grim expression and a cold demeanor.

Protected by the Great Accomplished Holy Body, he rose to prominence through bloody battles, survived two tribulations, fought to the death in the forbidden zone, swept across the six directions and eight wastelands, and was so severely injured that he had to take the elixir of immortality to prolong his life.

In that experience, Void felt despair. If he hadn't been the Great Emperor, with his unwavering will, Void felt he would have succumbed to despair.

After listening to the void's account, Jiang Bai became even more certain of his guess. Another timeline had materialized here, truly worthy of being called the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Then I'm even more determined to give it a try." Jiang Bai suppressed his cultivation level and stepped in with a smile.

However, Jiang Bai was met with nothing but emptiness, feeling like a small boat adrift on the vast ocean.

Do you really exist?

"Are you Jiang Bai, the King of Men, or..."

"Do you really know who you are?"

Do you really consider yourself a human being?

What do you consider this world to be? A game, or reality?

A series of questions rang out, and a series of decadent sounds rushed towards Jiang Bai's primordial spirit.

At the same time, scenes from Jiang Bai's past life flashed before his eyes, ending with him fainting and being taken to the hospital by his colleagues.

"Kid, wake up! There's no such thing as time travel in this world. This is just the dying fantasy of an unlucky guy who died from overwork."

"Wake up, let everything return to dust, let everything return to ashes."

A wave of fatigue washed over Jiang Bai, making him want to sleep.
