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

"Puff puff!"

A clear, resounding sound of a body exploding echoed throughout the area.

"There are living beings inside!"

The Heavenly Questioning Divine Sword descended with countless laws, incomparably sacred, suppressing Ye Fan and isolating him from that ominous aura.

"Hey hey hey..."

A chilling laugh echoed, like metal scraping against metal, making one feel uneasy and causing goosebumps to rise. Within the faint black mist, a pair of eyes, ruthless and sinister, coldly watched this place.

“We… are here again. That man from back then… never expected this day would come.”

A sinister and eerie voice came from above, as terrifying as a demon that had escaped from hell, emitting chilling sounds.

"boom!"

Ji Lingyun made his move. He used the Nine Secrets technique in his left hand and unleashed a sword aura of the Desolate Sword Technique in his right hand, which directly blasted into the faint black mist.

In an instant, the black mist was stripped away, splitting in two and revealing the creature inside.

They were three humanoid beings, but their bodies were already rotting, their faces were pale, and they smelled foul.

"Darkness! Eternity! We are immortal!"

The three eerie creatures spoke, and their words sent chills down one's spine.

"puff!"

Ji Lingyun made his move, his large hand sweeping horizontally, directly imprisoning the three humanoid beings, smashing them to pieces with a single slap, and killing them here.

"What eternal and indestructible? Anyone who ever said that to me is dead."

Ji Lingyun spoke indifferently.

At his feet lay the three humanoid corpses, motionless.

The stench of decay grew stronger and stronger. The three corpses, as if they had existed for ten thousand years, suddenly shuddered and turned into black powder, scattering on the ground.

"It really was that kind of thing!"

Ji Lingyun frowned. He tried to grab the black powder, but a strange power suddenly emerged from it, which he quickly dispersed.

The three humanoid corpses seemed to have gone through countless years in an instant, crushed by time, rotted, dried up, weathered, disintegrated, and finally turned into dust.

"What the hell is this?"

Faith leads to the question.

At this moment, Ye Fan also broke free from the suppression of the Heavenly Questioning Divine Sword and walked over. The eeriness and ominousness completely disappeared, and no black hair grew out.

He took a deep breath, staring intently at the area shrouded in black mist before him, lost in thought.

Chapter 384 From Above Heaven

Ji Lingyun stood not far away, standing there for a long time. No other creatures emerged from the black mist, making it very quiet and silent.

Then he set off, capturing a venomous python from the mortal realm and throwing it in. Almost instantly, the one-horned python, as thick as a water bucket, stopped moving, its body stiff, lying there silently.

"It really is that kind of dark substance!"

He stepped back, then with a wave of his hand, used a secret technique to bring out the corpse of the venomous python, wanting to examine it up close.

However, the black mist churned, and a strange aura rushed towards him. Ji Lingyun decisively retreated, not wanting to get involved with that kind of thing.

"It's really difficult."

As the black mist receded, he acted again, finally bringing the venomous python close to his eyes and carefully examining its body. The results only confirmed his suspicions.

"This is that kind of dark matter."

The poisonous python didn't seem to have been suddenly killed; rather, its primordial spirit was completely annihilated.

"laugh!"

As Ji Lingyun raised his hand, he unleashed a divine light that severed the venomous python in two. He noticed that the color of the blood inside the python's body had completely changed.

black!

It turned from scarlet to black, lifeless and devoid of its former vitality.

Apart from that, there is no other difference.

As a wisp of black mist emerged from the python's body and surged toward him, Ji Lingyun deflected it with a palm strike, turning it into wisps of smoke.

However, like a persistent ghost, the scattered black energy once again rushed towards Ji Lingyun, trying to entangle him.

"boom!"

Ji Lingyun used the Nine Secrets to evolve the light of the Great Dao, using the most domineering light of the heavens to suppress this black substance and completely obliterate it.

The wisps of black mist were dispersed and never reappeared, as if they had been purified.

However, Ji Lingyun showed no joy. This was only a wisp of dark matter emanating from the black mist, and it was already so overwhelming. How could he possibly contend with the vast expanse of black matter ahead?

Moreover, its origin lies in the Boundary Sea, which allows it to descend upon the human realm.

This is enough to show that the Boundary Sea and the human world are connected again.

You should know that there is a high possibility that there are true immortals or immortal kings inside!

Not long after, Ji Lingyun captured another ferocious tiger. This was a vicious beast that wreaked havoc in the region and ruled the mortal world, once swallowing an entire town whole.

If classified by strength, it is in the Divine Bridge Realm.

Ji Lingyun threw it into the black mist.

The result was astonishing; it still had no power to resist and died as soon as it fell into the black mist, just like a venomous python.

Ji Lingyun used his great supernatural powers to pull it out of the darkness, only to find the same result: its primordial spirit dissipated, and the blood in its body changed, turning black.

“It must be blocked, otherwise the whole world will be plunged into chaos.”

Ye Fan also came over, sensing a deep sense of worry.

Then, he flicked out three drops of blood from his Great Accomplished Holy Body, which fell into the darkness.

He then discovered that the bright red blood droplets turned black in an instant.

"It's so weird."

Ye Fan's expression changed.

The Faith Body also took action. It was not a real person, but a spiritual being constructed from the thoughts of all living beings. It was extremely pure and without any impurities.

He unleashed a wisp of his own primordial power, pure and holy, and one could vaguely hear countless people revering Ji Lingyun and praising his unparalleled achievements.

But the result remained unchanged; that wisp of primordial substance was instantly contaminated, turning into black mist and sinking into silence.

"It can even corrupt the thoughts of sentient beings."

Ji Lingyun's expression turned serious.

Finally, he took a risk, raising his hand to summon a wisp of black mist from afar, intending to test the power of this dark substance.

As a result, he broke out in a sweat, even a wisp of it was terrifying. It was connected to the large patch of black mist that invaded his body the moment it entered. A violent surge came from behind, like a raging storm, as the black substance rolled in.

"boom!"

In the end, Ji Lingyun used the "Nine Secrets" in his left hand and the "Severing the Two Realms" in his right hand to cut off the black matter and avoid being submerged.

There's really no solution!

As expected of something capable of corrupting an Immortal Emperor, it's incredibly troublesome. Fortunately, the black substance wasn't very concentrated; it was just a faint patch. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You two stay here and remember not to get your hands on that black substance. I'm going to the Bronze Immortal Palace."

Ji Lingyun said calmly.

He left Ye Fan and Faith Body behind to keep an eye on the black substance, in case any more dark creatures emerged.

He himself immediately arrived at the top of the universe and met the Ruthless Great Emperor.

"The ruins of the Immortal Mountain have also encountered problems; black substances have appeared."

Ji Lingyun said with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, the Empress had been staring at the desolate edge of the universe that she had shattered, sitting there for entire days without moving.

She desperately wanted to break in, shatter the source of all the strangeness, and see what had happened—her brother had reappeared, shrouded in darkness!

But she knew that it was very dangerous inside, and that great terror existed there, so she couldn't be reckless.

That's why she used the Bronze Immortal Palace to strike, shattering everything and preventing the strange event from happening in advance.

"Let's go and find out."

The empress's voice was cold, no longer elegant and otherworldly; her whole body surged with a murderous aura, as if she wanted to wipe out all darkness.

"boom!"

The bronze immortal palace moved horizontally, like a golden sun flying across the sky, directly descending upon the Big Dipper and rushing into the Undying Mountain.

"The Emperor and the others have gone to the Undying Mountain."

A cultivator from the Eastern Wilderness exclaimed in shock.
