Covering the Sky: The Ruthless Empress's Brother, Becoming an Emperor Through Biting!

The Big Dipper Starfield, Eastern Wilderness.

Ancient and forbidden land.

"Boom—!"

With a deafening roar that tore through the heavens, a rusty bronze coffin pierced through the endless void, descended from the sky, and crashed heavily onto the top of a giant mountain.

The terrifying impact caused the entire mountain to groan, and a bottomless crater was smashed into its summit.

"Clang!"

The coffin lid slid open at one corner.

"Cough...cough cough!"

"I'm alive? I'm saved?!"

"Quick! Get out of here! I don't want to stay in this awful place anymore!"

In the darkness, a group of ragged, terrified young men and women scrambled out from the gaps in the coffin.

They were survivors who were taken away by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin on Mount Tai and then suffered a terrifying attack by the Crocodile Ancestor on the ancient planet Yinghuo.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Ye Fan was the first to climb out. He didn't immediately feel relieved, but instead turned around and helped out a lazy-looking young man.

"It's nothing." Jiang Xuan yawned and patted the dust off his clothes. "It's just that the shock absorption system on this interstellar flight is terrible. It shook me so much that my bones almost fell apart."

"Uncle, what time is it and you're still joking!" Pang Bo's tall figure squeezed out, and he looked around warily. "Ye Zi, Uncle, where...where is this?"

What came into view was no longer the red desert of the ancient star Yinghuo, but a desolate primeval forest.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, and old vines grow like dragons.

The air was filled with an intense, almost palpable, life force; a single breath was enough to restore some of the strength to everyone's parched and hungry bodies.

"The air is so... so rich!"

"I feel like my wound doesn't hurt as much anymore!"

However, beneath this vitality lies a chilling stillness.

There were no birdsong, no insect chirping.

"Where...where are we?" Lin Jia asked in a trembling voice.

"Who cares where he is! It's better than being in a coffin!" Liu Yunzhi got up with a gloomy face and glared venomously at Ye Fan and Jiang Xuan.

While everyone was still in shock, looking around at this new world.

No one noticed that the moment Jiang Xuan's feet touched this land—

His unique aura, stemming from his ancient holy body and the fusion of the ruthless empress's brother's soul, was like a pebble thrown into an eternally unchanging pool.

……

The deepest part of the desolate, forbidden land.

It was a bottomless abyss, shrouded in endless chaos.

Beneath the abyss, sat a peerless figure in white robes.

She was stunningly beautiful, yet seemed to be separated from all of time, sitting there alone, unchanging through the ages.

She is the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Throughout the endless years, she remained seated, unmoved by external things, as if she had long since severed all emotions and desires.

However, the moment Jiang Xuan stepped into the forbidden area...

The white-clad empress's eyelashes, which had remained motionless for millennia, suddenly trembled slightly.

An aura that she had waited for far too long, so long that she almost thought it was an illusion, wafted from beyond the abyss.

That's not an illusion.

That was the breath that she had nurtured for countless years, finally giving it a new life.

The white-clad empress slowly raised her face, which was hidden by the ghost mask.

"elder brother?"

A low murmur, filled with endless confusion and trembling, echoed in the abyss.

next moment.

A single, crystal-clear tear slipped through the gap in the mask and dripped into the chaos.

Where tears flow, time and space seem to stand still.

……

The summit of the forbidden mountain.

"boom!"

A supreme divine thought swept across from the direction of the abyss.

"Thump!"

"what!"

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Liu Yunzhi... all the classmates knelt down in unison at this moment, their souls trembling, almost fainting on the spot.

"I...I can't move!" Pang Bo's face turned red, and his veins bulged, but he couldn't even lift a finger.

"Is this... divine power?" Ye Fan gritted his teeth, struggling to hold on, blood seeping from all seven orifices.

Only Jiang Xuan.

He remained standing there lazily.

When that divine sense swept over his body, it didn't exert any pressure at all; instead, it felt like it was caressing him.

"Hmm?" He frowned slightly and looked towards the abyss.

That aura just now... was it Nannan?

Countless memories surged through Jiang Xuan's mind.

In his previous life, he was sacrificed by the Feathered God Dynasty. His soul was transformed into a celestial cauldron deity. His sister found him and used nine kinds of celestial metals to recast the cauldron, which took countless years to nurture.

"My sister... is really amazing."

Jiang Xuan muttered to himself, then resumed his lazy expression.

He looked inward into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, where the small cauldron, forged from nine kinds of immortal metals and his companion immortal artifact, was trembling slightly, as if responding to the call from the abyss.

"Calm down, calm down," Jiang Xuan reassured the immortal cauldron in his heart.

Divine thoughts come quickly and go quickly.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Huff...huff..." Pang Bo lay sprawled on the ground, his body soaked in sweat. "What...what was that just now? It scared me to death..."

Ye Fan was still shaken. He looked at Jiang Xuan, the only one still standing, and asked, "Uncle, are you... are you alright?"

"Me?" Jiang Xuan stretched his neck. "Of course I'm fine! What could possibly happen to your uncle?"

Ye Fan: "..."

Pang Bo: "..."

"Alright, stop lying there." Jiang Xuan kicked Ye Fan's butt. "Come with me, let's find something to eat. We're starving."

"Food?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Uncle, where can we find food in this godforsaken place..." Pang Bo was about to retort.

But then Jiang Xuan spotted a direction and walked straight there.

He navigated the area with ease, as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

"This..." Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

"Wait for us!" Lin Jia quickly pulled Li Xiaoman to catch up.

Liu Yunzhi and the others hesitated for a moment, but could only grit their teeth and follow behind.

In this eerie place, their only way to survive seems to be through the mysterious and unpredictable Jiang Xuan.

We passed through a mist and circled around several giant rocks engraved with ancient runes.

Soon, a refreshing fragrance wafted over.

Before them appeared a divine spring!

The spring water was crystal clear and shimmered with rosy light. Just standing next to it and taking a breath of it made everyone feel refreshed and full of energy.

"Don't move, be careful..." Ye Fan was about to stop him.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xuan had already gone up first.

Jiang Xuan walked to the spring, scooped up a handful of spring water, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ha..." he sighed contentedly, "It tastes alright, much better than soda."

Seeing this, Ye Fan and Pang Bo rushed over and, imitating Jiang Xuan, drank water in large gulps.

"Holy crap!" Pang Bo had just taken a sip when he felt a warm current surge through his body. "I feel full of energy! Even my injuries have healed!"

Ye Fan was also shocked; he felt as if his body had been cleansed.

Seeing this, the other students couldn't resist any longer and rushed forward to grab the water.

Jiang Xuan ignored them and, after drinking his fill, looked towards the divine spring.

There, several sacred trees grow.

The tree was laden with colorful fruits, each one radiating divine light and exuding a wonderful fragrance.

"Some more fruit, please."

Jiang Xuan casually picked a purple sacred fruit and took a bite with a "crunch".

"Uncle, can we eat that?" Ye Fan's eyes widened.

"Nonsense, the buffet is practically right in front of you, why not take advantage of it?" Jiang Xuan picked a golden one and handed it to Ye Fan, then tossed a red one to Pang Bo. "Eat up, so we can get going."

The two took the sacred fruit and eagerly took a bite.

"boom!"

A massive amount of life energy exploded within their bodies!

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were glowing, and the dirt and hidden injuries on their bodies were instantly expelled, making them seem as if they had been reborn.

"This...this is a divine fruit!" Pang Bo trembled with excitement.

"I feel like I could kill a bull!"

They ate with their mouths greasy.

Those students who drank from the divine spring also eyed the sacred fruit with envy.

This is destiny with immortals!
