In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 122 Void Clash

The Black Emperor ran ahead, and a group of powerful figures chased after him. They soon discovered the problem.

"No! There's a trap here. My magic is frozen, and the more I chase, the worse the freeze gets!"

Many powerful figures stopped after discovering this situation, but some did not give up and continued to relentlessly pursue the Black Emperor.

Even though it could no longer fly, it still ran after the dog, much like a group of children in the countryside chasing a dog with sticks.

With their magic frozen and completely unable to fly, their hopes of catching up with the Black Emperor, who possessed a demonic form, were dashed.

With their magical power frozen, the demon race is already stronger than the human race. Moreover, the Black Emperor is a powerful cultivator who has undergone a major rebirth. In terms of physical strength alone, he is probably comparable to a king-level demon, which is naturally beyond the reach of these second-tier immortals.

Even if a powerful demon cultivator from the second stage of the game came, he would be beaten up by the Black Emperor and would be no match for him.

And so, a dog ran, a group of people chased, and one after another they arrived at the seaside formed by the Three Yin Divine Water.

At the center of this ocean is the altar where the Immortal Emperor's skin is located. There used to be a coffin there, but it has been divided up by the demon race, Yaochi, and Zhang Taichu.

Between the sea and the altar, there are three thick chains that can be climbed to reach the altar.

There used to be nearly ten chains, but now only three remain; the rest were severed by Ye Fan's Heavenly Wrath Blade.

When I first came here, there were some bone ships at sea. Although they looked a bit like ghost ships, they could still carry people across the sea. Now they have also been destroyed.

In other words, unless one flies over on a bird-like demon, the only option is to rely on those three chains!

With Xiao Nanyin on his back, the Black Emperor climbed onto a chain without hesitation and rushed toward the altar.

When the pursuers arrived, they had to stop because each of the three chains was guarded by a person: Zhang Taichu, Ye Fan, and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The three stood steadily on the chains, as if they had been waiting for a long time. Beside the altar, Li Heishui and the others were using the power of the Heavenly Wrath Blade to resist the Emperor's might.

After the Black Emperor rushed over, he joined in as well. Only in this way could he avoid being crushed by the imperial might of the Undying Emperor's Skin!

"That's... Imperial might?! There's an Emperor-level treasure on that altar! It might even be an unclaimed Imperial weapon!"

The elders of the Yin-Yang Sect had greed on their faces. Their original goal was to retrieve the Yin-Yang Mirror and then steal the treasures from Zhang Taichu and Ye Fan.

But to everyone's surprise, there was actually an Imperial Weapon here! This was an unexpected delight.

"It might not be an imperial weapon; it could be a treasure of the Great Emperor level, or even the corpse of a Great Emperor!"

An elder from the Ji family spoke up. Coming from an ancient family, he knew very well that imperial weapons were not the only things that could exude imperial might.

At the same time, he had some knowledge of feng shui and burial sites, and was considered a colleague of Duan De. Long before entering the Realm Within a Realm, he noticed that the terrain here was very suitable for a burial site, and therefore guessed that it was an imperial burial site.

At this moment, a group of powerful immortals arrived one after another. After determining that it was Emperor Wei, they all revealed greedy and joyful expressions.

Each of them harbored their own ulterior motives, already plotting how to monopolize the imperial weapon or the imperial corpse on the altar.

Of course, before that, we still need to get rid of Zhang Taichu and Ye Fan. They are their common enemies. Even if we have to make concessions, we have to take care of these two people first.

At that moment, Zhang Taichu's voice came.

"You guys are really persistent, and the number of people you bring each time is greater than the last. If I'm not mistaken, many of you don't have any grudges against me, right? Especially those people from the immortal dynasties in Zhongzhou, do you want to get involved in this mess too?"

After saying that, Zhang Taichu looked at Xia Yiming, the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, in the crowd.

"Brother Xia, are we to meet with swords today?"

Xia Yiming felt a little embarrassed, and after consulting with his uncle who was standing next to him, he stepped forward.

"Brother Zhang, and Brother Ye, this time our Great Xia Dynasty is not helping either side. We are only here for what's on the altar. Please don't misunderstand."

Ye Fan spoke.

"Brother Xia, you can tell that you are not a hypocrite. Since that's the case, I might as well tell you that the things on the altar are not something you can take away. Even if you bring an imperial weapon, you will still return empty-handed. So you should leave."

"Sacred Body Ye Fan, aren't you being far too presumptuous? Do you even know how powerful an Emperor-level weapon is?"

A prince from the Jiuli Dynasty arrived at the seaside and spoke rudely.

Zhang Taichu then spoke, first letting out a disdainful laugh.

"The Immortal Dynasty of Zhongzhou speaks with authority. Your Nine Li Diagram is indeed incredibly powerful. I've heard it even refined two Perfected Saint Spirits?"

"Hmph, at least you have some knowledge. In that case, why don't you move aside?"

Zhang Taichu waved his hand.

"Let me finish speaking. The Nine Li Diagram is indeed remarkable, but that depends on who wields it. In the hands of your founding ancestor, it could be refined into a perfect Holy Spirit, but in your hands—"

Zhang Taichu stopped, and then a dense aura of tribulation energy erupted from his body, and the next second, tribulation clouds began to gather in the sky.

Everyone's expression turned serious.

"Whether it's the Nine Li Diagram, the Supreme Emperor Sword, or the Ji family's Void Mirror, they may not fear the Heavenly Tribulation, but what about you who wield imperial weapons? Do you have the ability to survive the Imperial Tribulation?"

The ominous clouds in the sky were gathering more and more, and could strike down at any moment.

Not long ago, the Great Sacred Tribulation triggered by the Yin-Yang Mirror wiped out ten powerful beings in one blow. They didn't even leave behind their corpses; they all turned into ashes.

This is just the Great Sage Tribulation. If it were the Great Emperor Tribulation caused by an Imperial Weapon, then let alone people, the entire Big Dipper would probably be blown up!

Unless the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone intervenes, Beidou will definitely not be able to survive.

Heavenly tribulations are just that unreasonable. The stronger you are, the greater the power of the heavenly tribulation you will face. Unless you have something like the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern to avoid heavenly tribulations, even an imperial weapon will be useless!

Xia Yiming and the Prince of Jiuli retreated quickly, moving away from the range of the Heavenly Tribulation's attack. But this was useless; once the Heavenly Tribulation struck, it could easily cover the entire Realm Within a Realm.

Even the gods couldn't escape after being trapped, let alone them.

Just then, as expected, the four elders of the Ji family rushed out. They quickly rushed in four directions, and each of them threw out a formation flag and quickly activated it.

"Be careful, those are array flags made of rare materials! They can be deployed quickly, and although they're not complete Emperor-level array patterns, they're still extraordinary!"

The Black Emperor's roar came, loudly reminding Zhang Taichu and the other two.

As expected, the void array quickly took shape, protecting all the pursuers and isolating the space to form its own realm. In this way, the heavenly tribulation could not find them and naturally could not descend.

"Young man, I'll show you something today."

One of the powerful figures from the Ji family spoke, but Zhang Taichu tilted his head to listen.

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

The voice of the powerful Ji family member did not travel out, nor did Zhang Taichu's words travel in. The two were simply engaging in a futile battle in the void!

Seeing this, the four powerful members of the Ji family expanded the range of the Emperor's Formation, intending to encircle Zhang Taichu and the other two on the chains.

Once inside the formation, the three of them will become meat on a chopping board, utterly powerless to fight back.

"Kid, do you want to retreat now? This isn't some void talisman; it's a real void array. It has more than just the ability to isolate space. Once you're trapped inside, you'll be attacked by an Emperor-level being and will surely die!"

The Black Emperor's voice came again, and Zhang Taichu smiled.

"Although it was a bit unexpected, I had anticipated that the Ji family would bring something even stronger this time, so I was prepared."

After saying that, Zhang Taichu took out the Void Chessboard. At the same time, strong spatial fluctuations erupted from his body, and his hands began to move on the chessboard.

Under the Emperor's might, everyone's magical power was affected; even the second-level immortals were unable to fly using their magic.

Forget about using secret techniques; nowadays, the only way to unleash a decent attack is with magical artifacts.

However, similarly, the power of a magical artifact will be greatly reduced if sufficient magical power cannot be provided.

However, formations are an exception. Formations are self-contained and can mobilize the power of heaven and earth to attack enemies.

The person who sets up the formation only needs to use a small amount of magic power to activate it.

The void array set up by the Ji family is like this, and so is the void chessboard in Zhang Taichu's hand. Strictly speaking, this thing is also a magic array, but it is portable and much more advanced than setting up an array temporarily with array flags.

Therefore, when the two forces of the same origin collided, the expansion of the Void Array immediately stopped and was even pushed back. The edge of the array was strictly controlled on the land and could not cover the sea surface at all, so it could not affect Zhang Taichu and the others.

"How is this possible! What is that thing? How can it block the Great Emperor's magic array?!"

"No, that—that looks like the chessboard mentioned in the ancient texts, it belonged to the Great Emperor!"

"That belonged to our ancestors, how did it end up in Zhang Taichu's hands?!"

The four elders of the Ji family were extremely excited, but also furious. In their view, only the Ji family could control the things belonging to the Void Emperor, so how could they fall into the hands of outsiders?

However, no matter how much they shouted, their voices couldn't reach the outside world, making their behavior resemble that of clowns.

The Yin-Yang Sect members looked grave upon seeing this. The Void Formation was their only way to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation, and now that it had failed, how could they possibly deal with Zhang Taichu?

Just like Zhang Taichu's previous rebuttal to the people of the Nine Li Dynasty, even bringing an imperial weapon wouldn't work when facing a heavenly tribulation, let alone going straight into battle.

The direct consequence was total annihilation; no matter how many people there were, it was useless!

Now that the void array has failed, the entire situation has immediately fallen into a stalemate. They are unable to advance, yet unwilling to retreat.

Including the neutral ones, nearly a hundred powerful figures stood on the beach, staring at Zhang Taichu and his two companions, creating an extremely awkward scene.

Especially the people of the Jiuli Dynasty, who just thought they had a great advantage and displayed the arrogance of the immortal forces to the fullest, are now in a predicament where they don't even have the right to say a few conciliatory words to negotiate with Zhang Taichu.

It's unbelievable that a mighty, immortal power could be driven to this state by just one person, but that's exactly what happened!

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Zhang Taichu opened his mouth and uttered a Daoist sound. To everyone's astonishment, this Daoist sound ignored the blockade of the void array and went straight in.
