I am asking the Ancestor to ascend to heaven in the world of "Covering the Sky".

There is probably only one supreme being who has been proclaimed emperor by the Holy Spirit.

That's the Stone Emperor!

In the original work, it was this guy who was one of the leaders of the Dark Turmoil, and he was killed by Ye Hei when the Path to Immortality was opened.

Now, Ji Lingyun had seen him in person, but her heart was not stirred at all; only a chilling killing intent permeated her being.

After all, this guy is the Ji family's mortal enemy, both in the original story and now.

"You're very good, exceptionally talented!"

Shi Huang spoke, staring at Ji Lingyun's face, seemingly lost in thought.

"When did it become your place to judge me?!"

Ji Lingyun responded coldly, displaying unparalleled dominance.

He has now reached the pinnacle of power, becoming a flawless emperor, and fears no one.

Even if all the emperors of the past were to be resurrected, they would only communicate as equals.

Moreover, as the Ji family's mortal enemy, Shi Huang would not give him any face and directly rebuked him.

"You're so crazy!"

Shi Huang's expression immediately turned cold, and he gripped his halberd tightly, his aura rising.

But then, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he slowly released the halberd, his breathing becoming steady.

"As the current emperor, you hold the reins of power over the rise and fall of dynasties, and we do not wish to be your enemy for the time being. But you must know that everyone eventually runs out of strength, so it is best not to be too forceful!"

“Even your ancestor Ji Xukong wouldn’t dare to challenge me like this. You should learn what it means to be low-key.”

"You borrowed numerous imperial weapons back then and killed several supreme beings, but now you are all alone. Don't think you still have the power you had before!"

After uttering those words, he stared at Ji Lingyun, his pupils flashing slightly.

Clearly, his words were a threat to Ji Lingyun.

Chapter 345 Disdain for the Stone Emperor

It should be noted that this era was arguably the darkest in history, with the number of supreme beings in all forbidden zones reaching a peak of approximately several dozen.

They were all once invincible in their era, and all of them had attained enlightenment and ascended to the realm of the Great Emperor.

The Stone Emperor's meaning is precisely the issue that Ji Lingyun has been worried about for many years.

That is because there are simply too many Supreme Beings, making it difficult for one person to handle them all.

Ye Fan is a living example; as a Great Perfection Saint Body, he can rival the ancient emperors.

It could even crush a great emperor.

However, without the ascension of a supreme being from the forbidden zone, Ye Fan was still nearly brought to his death.

It's not that Ye Fan is weak, but that he has too many opponents.

More than twenty Supreme Beings—that's an incredibly terrifying number. These aren't ordinary cultivators; they are all self-severing Great Emperors who were once invincible in an era.

Even if Ye Fan were incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly defeat four opponents with just his two fists, because there were simply too many of them.

"Are you threatening me?"

Ji Lingyun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in an icy voice.

"No, we just don't want to be your enemy for the time being."

The Stone Emperor smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, it exuded murderous intent.

The two were exchanging sharp words, causing the atmosphere to rise dramatically, potentially recreating a scene from the mythical era where emperors clashed!

However, Ji Lingyun was also filled with doubt at this moment.

Even when Lu Han was killed by him, the Stone Emperor did not show up. Why would he suddenly appear now?

It should be noted that Lu Han is the supreme leader of the Undying Mountain faction.

"What does he want to do?"

Ji Lingyun guessed.

Just then, the Stone Emperor spoke again: "Then farewell, and I look forward to seeing you again."

He smiled meaningfully, then led the four supreme beings away, preventing a battle from taking place.

This isn't because those four supreme beings of the forbidden zones obeyed the Stone Emperor's orders. At their level, who would consider themselves weaker than others?

They simply didn't want to reach the pinnacle of spiritual advancement or engage in a bloody battle; they wanted to conserve their energy to prepare for their future path to immortality.

Immortality is the ultimate goal pursued by all supreme beings in forbidden zones. To fight to the death with Ji Lingyun at this moment would be utterly pointless.

Therefore, these supreme beings did not say much. Although the atmosphere eased slightly, they were still as if they had eaten a dead child, their faces turning green. They had no choice but to endure it.

After all, Ji Lingyun is the current emperor, and the next ten thousand years belong to him; they cannot afford to fight him.

At this moment, deep within the universe, Ji Lingyun is confronting five supreme beings from forbidden zones, and the entire world is watching closely.

"Is the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone going to back down?"

Someone frowned and spoke.

As things stand, the tense atmosphere has eased somewhat and is no longer so hostile.

However, regarding beings at the Great Emperor level, nothing is certain, and another great war could very well break out.

Everyone was intently watching the depths of the starry sky, extremely tense.

Meanwhile, deep within the starry sky, the Stone Emperor smiled slightly, nodded to the other four Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, and said, "I would like to invite you all to Mount Undying. There are some matters I need to discuss with you."

The supreme beings remained silent, their eyes flickering as if they were deep in thought, but they ultimately nodded in agreement.

This scene led some quasi-emperor cultivators to speculate: "The battle should come to a temporary end; it won't escalate further."

Just when everyone thought it was all over, with a loud "boom!", a giant hand suddenly appeared, carrying overwhelming divine power, like a holy sun descending, radiating terrifying Dao runes, and rumbling loudly.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!"

The five players in the restricted area were swept away and exploded in the starry sky. Blood and bones flew for billions of miles, and they were directly blasted apart by a single slap.

Ji Lingyun made a powerful move, killing five supreme beings with a single hand, causing a great shock to the universe.

This scene was simply too domineering and too powerful.

"Ji Lingyun, you're asking for death! This is outrageous!!!"

The five supreme beings immediately reconstructed their physical bodies, roaring madly.

This was the second time they had been shattered, which made their Dao hearts somewhat unstable, almost causing them to fall into demonic possession.

Several supreme immortal platforms even began to emit dazzling light, incomparably brilliant, like a divine lamp fixed in the universe.

"boom!"

Their auras began to rise rapidly, and they were just one step away from regaining the Emperor Realm and recreating their unparalleled glory at their peak.

The Stone Emperor's face was even more ferocious, his eyes as cold as ice. Since his birth, who has dared to treat him like this?

Ji Lingyun was the first.

"what!!"

He roared to the sky, only to be shattered by a single slap. Unable to bear it, he nearly went mad. The halberd in his hand immediately emitted a dark light, and an aura of supreme power filled the air, causing the universe to groan in despair.

"I do not accept threats! If you're not convinced, then try your best to ascend to the highest level! I think it would be quite a spectacle if the five Supreme Beings embarked on their journey together!"

Ji Lingyun spoke, her tone extremely forceful.

The Supreme Leader of the Forbidden Zone had red eyes and was trembling all over. This was the first time they had ever encountered something so humiliating.

If you don't reach the pinnacle of your abilities, you won't be able to win; you're doomed!

Even after reaching the ultimate level of refinement, one can still fight, or one is destined to die!

This made them turn green with envy, wishing they could turn back time and return to their invincible era to fight them.

In the end, the battle between the emperors did not break out, and the Stone Emperor and the others once again endured and swallowed their anger.

This puzzled Ji Lingyun greatly. Looking at their actions, it seemed as if something extremely important was waiting for them, that they would be willing to give up their supreme dignity for it, which was hard to imagine.

Just then, the Stone Emperor's voice rang out again.

"Everyone eventually runs out of strength. In this era, all the forbidden zones of life have reached their peak. You decide what to do!"

He spoke through gritted teeth, his murderous aura soaring to the heavens, directly shattering a distant cluster of stars and turning it into dust.

Afterwards, Shi Huang and his companions rushed into the Undying Mountain without looking back and left the place.

Watching the five forbidden zone supreme beings gradually disappear into the distance, Ji Lingyun did not stop them, but merely looked at them coldly, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

The Stone Emperor is right. This era is too dark. There are far too many Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones. Each one of them is an unparalleled powerhouse who is invincible in an era. None of them are weak.

If they are pushed too far, the mythical era might actually reappear, with dozens of emperors emerging at the same time.

When things got to that point, even he might be powerless to reverse the situation.

"It truly was the darkest era in history."
