In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dog Without Beginning

The God King Jiang Taixu had no breath left, as if he were dead. Ye Fan carried him on his back and walked into the depths of Purple Mountain.

"Old Lü, the God King is on his last legs and is likely in imminent danger. He won't be able to leave before he needs treatment now," Ye Fan suggested to Lü Yao after sensing Jiang Taixu's condition with his divine sense.

"Wait a little longer, it's not safe here." Lu Yao's expression was somewhat solemn; he sensed danger in the area.

The two had just passed several ancient creatures. Some resembled human women but had gems between their eyebrows, while others were covered in scales, like deep-sea creatures. Fortunately, they were all dead.

Of course, the two also encountered Yuan, who was suspected of sealing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, which was the work of Zhang Lin, the fifth generation Yuan Master.

Lu Yao told Ye Fan to follow his intuition, and Ye Fan chose a direction with weaker demonic power and continued forward.

Suddenly, Lü Yao sensed a spying on him as he walked, but he couldn't pinpoint where it was.

"Give me your golden cone; we may be being targeted by ancient creatures."

Ye Fan quickly handed the golden cone to Lü Yao and looked it over: "Can you sense what level of ancient creature it is?"

Lu Yao sensed the faint aura: "It's different from the aura of human cultivation techniques. This is the first time I've seen it, but its strength is not bad. It should be around the first level of the Immortal Platform realm."

Actually, he seems to be stronger than the human immortal, Lu Yao guessed, possibly because he has the blessing of a special bloodline.

"No, there's another one that looks like a powerful being." Lu Yao suddenly sensed something was wrong. The aura of that powerful being was mixed in with that of a half-step powerful being, as obvious as a campfire at night.

So he hurriedly urged Ye Fan to speed up, because this was far more powerful than the ancient creature that had chased Ye Fan in the original story.

Was it because of himself? Or because of his poker face?

The creatures still alive in Purple Mountain are not necessarily those that broke through the source. Ancient creatures with cultivation levels like these are not worth being sealed in the source by powerful beings.

Perhaps they are the offspring left behind by some creatures that broke free of their seal and reproduced.

After walking briskly for several hundred feet, a bell suddenly rang out in the Purple Mountain, clearing the mind and sweeping away ignorance.

That sense of being watched and the demonic power vanished with the sound of the bell.

It seems that some more powerful creature has awakened and been detected by the Boundless Bell.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With an imperial weapon, he has nothing to fear as long as the Ancestral King is not born, and he can leave at will. However, he will miss out on the Origin Book and the Black Emperor.

He still had his eye on the Boundless Array Pattern in the Black Emperor's possession.

This is the best situation now, with the Primordial Bell keeping those ancient creatures in check.

He and Ye Fan entered the interior of the Boundless Bell, into an extremely spacious hall. A human skeleton lay on the ground, next to which was a silver scroll that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

The two could finally breathe a sigh of relief; no powerful ancient creature dared to enter the Boundless Bell.

Lü Yao and Ye Fan put away their weapons.

“It might be the ancestor of the Zhang family. This silver book is the Origin Book.” Lu Yao stepped forward and examined the skeleton. It was wearing tattered stone clothes, exactly the same as those on Ye Fan.

He picked up the silver book.

Ye Fan gently laid God King Jiang Taixu on the ground, then turned to look at Lü Yao upon hearing this, his tone joyful: "Is it really the Origin Book?"

“Yes.” Lü Yao saw the book cover, which was engraved with three ancient characters: Yuan Tian Shu (Book of Origin).

The entire book is engraved in metal, has about a hundred pages, and feels unusually heavy when you hold it.

Suddenly, Lü Yao looked up, took the Source Book and walked to Ye Fan's side, because he found that Jiang Taixu's aura had weakened even more.

"Save Senior God King first." Ye Fan also sensed Jiang Taixu's abnormality and shifted his attention from the book to the person.

He pulled out a drop of blood, which shone like a ruby, exuded a unique fragrance, and emanated a strong life force, instantly filling the entire hall with vitality.

Without hesitation, Ye Fan took out a drop of the Azure Emperor's essence blood to repay the God King's kindness in passing on the Dharma.

"Can the Azure Emperor's essence blood save the God King?" Ye Fan asked.

“At least it will prolong their lives,” Lü Yao replied.

Jiang Taixu's original essence has been depleted to the point of being beyond saving. Only by consuming the complete elixir of immortality or by undergoing a metamorphosis can he live a second life.

But who else but the Supreme Being could possess the complete elixir of immortality? Neither the True Phoenix Elixir of Immortality in Purple Mountain nor the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality in the Myriad Dragon Nest could be obtained by Jiang Taixu or the Holy Master of the Jiang Family.

Ye Fan's ability to obtain even a few drops of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir is already a testament to his extraordinary luck.

Upon arriving in Beidou, Lü Yao, along with Ye Fan and Pang Bo, spent a long time working in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, picking a few of each of the nine kinds of Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine Fruits and quietly taking them out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

It was unclear what fraction of the full potency of the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality it might possess; even Lü Yao was uncertain.

However, the essence blood of the Azure Emperor definitely has the medicinal power of a semi-divine medicine. If the divine spring of the Desolate Ancient Holy Land is added, the medicinal power may be even higher.

Suddenly, Lü Yao paused for a moment, then resumed his normal movements: "Let's try the Emperor's essence blood first, combined with the divine spring. If that doesn't work, we'll try something else."

But his divine sense was focused on one direction, where something seemed to be spying on him.

But it was definitely not an ancient creature; it had neither murderous intent nor any aura of the ancient era.

It only appeared for a moment; if I hadn't achieved a high level of spiritual cultivation, I wouldn't have noticed it just now.

Ye Fan noticed Lü Yao's unusual behavior and asked telepathically, "What's wrong? Is there something unusual here?"

Lü Yao: "There is a strange creature here, but it is not an ancient being. It revealed its presence when you took out the Azure Emperor's essence blood."

"Can you beat them?"

Lu Yao nodded slightly, guessing that it was the Black Emperor, the dog of the Great Emperor Wushi.

"Then let's lure him out." When Ye Fan heard that the other party had given away clues when the Azure Emperor's essence blood was mentioned, his eyes narrowed and he came up with an idea.

"Hmm." Lü Yao continued to look down at the condition of God King Jiang Taixu, thinking about how to use the essence blood of the Azure Emperor and the divine spring to heal him.

The Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron was Ye Fan's personal treasure trove; he kept everything he owned inside.

He carefully took out a fruit from the cauldron. The fruit was like a ginseng fruit, shaped like a baby, and was filled with rosy light and Daoist charm, which was refreshing and invigorating. Its vitality was no weaker than that of the Azure Emperor's blood essence.

This is the fruit with the most abundant life essence among the nine kinds of fruits, and it is also the one with the most mysterious appearance, which is very similar to the legendary elixir of immortality - the ginseng fruit.

The moment the fruit appeared, the aura that had just appeared reappeared, and the sound of water droplets falling to the ground clearly reached their ears. Lü Yao suddenly turned around to look at the source of the sound.

Ripples spread through the void there, and two jet-black beast eyes hung suspended in mid-air, about two meters high.

Ye Fan was startled, thinking it was some ancient creature: "What is that?!"

Lu Yao moved with lightning speed, his figure vanishing in an instant. Holding the golden cone in his hand, he stabbed at the fleeting crack, wedging it perfectly. He then channeled his divine power, tearing open the void with a sharp sound.

It's a dog.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Lu Yao reached out to grab the big black dog, and at the same time, the big black dog's blood-red maw bit into Lu Yao's hand, its teeth gleaming coldly as if they were made of divine materials.

With a flick of his wrist, Lü Yao stuffed the golden cone into the big black dog's mouth.

"Awooo—" The big black dog let out a miserable howl and immediately retreated, but unexpectedly, a small Tai Chi Yin Yang diagram appeared in Lu Yao's other hand and pressed down on the black dog.

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

Black Emperor felt the heavy suppressive force on his body, even harder than a broken awl that was as hard as an imperial weapon. He let out a miserable cry and jumped out of the void, his tail drooping, looking pitiful.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: This Emperor is Destined to Become the Demon Emperor

Ye Fan was on guard when he suddenly saw this creature, and his heart skipped a beat. He blurted out, "What a big dog!"

Upon hearing this, the big black dog slowly raised one of its front paws, bared its teeth, and touched its chin.

One of its teeth was loose in its large mouth, clearly injured by the golden cone that Lü Yao had previously unleashed.

"Human brat, how come you're so weak?" The Black Emperor looked at Ye Fan with an innate sense of superiority and said, "In the past, you wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes, let alone being my pet."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately chuckled: "Oh ho, you're still so arrogant even after being suppressed? Believe me or not, I'll take you out and find a thousand mongrels to breed with you, half male and half female, and make you a dog emperor?"

Lu Yao watched with a helpless expression, his lips twitching slightly. Ye Heizi's moral bottom line was truly unpredictable; even if he didn't know the Black Emperor's identity and only regarded it as an ordinary dog ​​demon, he could still come up with such a crooked trick.

"Old Lu," Ye Fan took two steps closer, his gaze intently scrutinizing the large black dog, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly is this guy's background? Look at this place, so many powerful figures have perished here, yet it's still alive and kicking here?"

"Why don't you go up and ask it directly?" Lu Yao knew that the Black Emperor had many trump cards and could not be easily suppressed by him. He suspected there was a trap, so he gave Ye Fan a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan prepared to approach the Black Emperor.

At this moment, a yin-yang rune was still faintly visible on the Black Emperor's body, pressing him firmly to the ground, so that even his dog head could not move.

As Ye Fan approached step by step, it suddenly let out a mournful cry, a hint of fear showing in its eyes.

Ye Fan's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his steps faltered.

He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said in a feignedly heroic tone, "Garlic bird, garlic bird, bullying a dog doesn't make you a hero."

At the spot where the Black Emperor had just appeared, Lü Yao discovered a jade platform covered with array patterns.

The Xuan Yu Platform is made of quite good material, measuring one meter square. No wonder the Black Emperor's eyes were more than two meters off the ground just now; it seems he was standing on this Xuan Yu Platform, hiding and observing the two of them.

It was only because the essence of the Azure Emperor and the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality had shocked its dog heart that it unconsciously poked its eyes and nose out of the remnant formation, which is how Lü Yao discovered it.

Seeing that Ye Fan was pitying this bastard, Lü Yao pursed his lips, preparing to teach Ye Fan a profound lesson. And so... the suppressive power on the Black Emperor suddenly disappeared.

Black King suddenly felt a lightness on its body, but it didn't move. It maintained its original posture, rolled its eyes, and suddenly let out a mournful howl, extremely shrill.

"What's wrong?" Ye Fan put away the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir Fruit, flicked his finger, and the Azure Emperor's essence blood turned into a stream of light and went into Lü Yao's hand. He was about to ask him to heal the God King.

But he noticed the big black dog howling in pain and assumed that Lü Yao had secretly poisoned it behind his back, so he tried to stop him.

It's just a dog demon, let it go.

Suddenly, he saw a dark shadow flash by, followed by a sharp pain—a large mouth bit down hard on his leg!

"Let go, you dead dog!" Ye Fan shouted, swinging his leg with all his might, but he couldn't shake the dead dog off.

Black King bit into his leg, feeling as if he had bitten into steel. One of his teeth, which had been broken by the golden cone, was already loose, and now it was about to fall out.

It quickly released its grip, and with a swift movement, transformed into a black shadow and arrived beside a stone platform, warily watching the two, especially the golden cone in Lü Yao's hand.

"Stop pretending. That restriction didn't work on you. You're afraid of this, aren't you?" Lu Yao waved the golden cone in his hand and returned it to Ye Fan.
