Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chen Hao traveled over mountains and valleys, diligently searching the land, and unearthed several precious medicinal herbs that shimmered with light and color, which were at least fifty or sixty thousand years old.

Just as he was filled with joy, he heard a deafening roar like a dragon's cry from afar. Immediately afterward, a red light dyed the entire sky red, fiery clouds surged, and crimson clouds rose into the sky, as if ten thousand dragons were leaping, creating a magnificent spectacle.

In addition, there were also fierce roars of bulls and howls of monkeys, the sound of iron being hammered and forged, and a continuous roar like a meteorite hitting the earth.

Chen Hao felt the mountain tremble and raised an eyebrow, standing on the mountaintop and gazing into the distance.

He saw a dragon-horse covered in fiery red scales and horns, a golden bull king as big as a small mountain, a black giant ape hundreds of feet tall wielding a long sword, and a Taoist priest who had transformed into human form, wielding a black dragon spear, wearing a purple-gold crown, with a sallow complexion and looking sickly.

"Is the infighting caused by unequal distribution of spoils? That black dragon spear must have been left behind by Rong Cheng."

Rong Chengshi is really unlucky. It's like he lost treasure while fighting a monster. Not only did he lose his weapons after fighting the Emperor, but he also lost the elixir of immortality, the ginseng fruit tree, on the Hegemon Ancestral Star.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the ginseng fruit tree that flew back to Earth, but rather the black dragon spear that had already been shattered once.

Chen Hao was thoroughly enjoying watching the giant beasts fight, when suddenly he remembered the original plot and his eyes became fixed on the black dragon spear.

If I remember correctly, that was Rong Cheng's war spear, a quasi-imperial weapon that had been destroyed.

One or two thousand years ago, a quasi-emperor war broke out near the ancestral star of the Overlord Body.

The two sides in the battle were Rong Chengshi and the Emperor, both of whom were at the Quasi-Emperor level. Rong Chengshi wielded a black dragon spear, while the Emperor of the Divine Court wielded a cyan spear. In the end, the two were both severely injured, and their spears and dragon spears were almost shattered.

However, the cyan spear was taken away, while the black divine spear pierced through the universe, disappeared into the void, and finally fell to Earth.

  

After being knocked away, the black dragon spear not only flew straight towards Earth, but also planted a ball of fire god energy along the way, eventually landing within the Kunlun Immortal Land.

The Dragon Spear was later obtained by a Taoist priest, while the fallen Fire God Source combined with the Kunlun Immortal Vein, transforming into a strange energy that formed a cave dwelling, where cultivation could be twice as effective.

The golden bull king, the black ape king, the Taoist, and the dragon horse were originally at peace with each other and even had some friendship, but they eventually clashed when they fought for the cave formed by the source of the fire god, and they often fought afterward.

"The crippled quasi-emperor weapon has its Dao patterns mostly broken, and the divine spirit within it has probably been residing there. All that remains is its indestructible material and a few traces of the resentment and lingering spirit of the weapon."

Most of the time, it's like an inanimate object, occasionally unleashing a little power, but like Duan Yu's Six Meridian Divine Sword, it's unreliable and doesn't last long... Only when it encounters a descendant of the Emperor's lineage will it unleash a bit of quasi-Emperor power.

Chen Hao was very interested in this dragon spear, which might be forged from black gold with dragon patterns.

Even if it wasn't forged from dragon-patterned black gold, this crippled quasi-emperor weapon is still a rare treasure; its greatest advantage is its sturdiness and durability.

"Dragon Horse, I have finally reactivated this spear. You are doomed to defeat today. Give up the Fire God Cave!" the Taoist shouted.

A streak of dark light shot up from the black spear, piercing the sky and instantly putting Longma on the defensive, forcing him to dodge left and right, not daring to directly confront its edge.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the black spear trembled, and its awe-inspiring power vanished, fading into darkness. The dark light disappeared completely.

The dragon horse, which had been somewhat intimidated, laughed upon seeing this. Then, with a long neigh, its body flashed with flames and leaped about, instantly regaining its majestic presence and sweeping away its previous humiliation.

"Eek—!"

Chen Hao, who was watching the show, seized the opportunity and, after the dragon spear weakened, immediately let out a strange cry and rushed into the battlefield.

As he cried out, Chen Hao's brow shone brightly, emitting bursts of dragon roars. This caused the three beasts and the Daoist present to feel their minds become unstable, their souls to surge, and they felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies, leaving their minds blank.

Their bodies trembled, a sharp pain as if their souls might shatter from the inside out at any moment, their bodies stiffened, and they lost control for a moment.

However, Chen Hao did not use his secret technique at full strength. Furthermore, the beast kings nurtured by the Kunlun Immortal Land were not ordinary beings. They had deep foundations, and if caught off guard, they would at most be suddenly stunned and confused for a while, but would recover quickly.

Chen Hao merged into the void, seizing the moment when the Taoist's eyes were glazed over and his body stiffened, revealing a weakness, and like a ghost, instantly snatched the black dragon spear from his hand.

Although Chen Hao had not cultivated to the point of being able to touch the realm of time, he was like a darling of the void, able to manipulate space at will with his talent alone. He could already perform instantaneous spatial teleportation without cooldown.

Breaking through the void, tearing apart spatial barriers, and traversing realms at will were Chen Hao's forte. He could also directly anchor coordinates and navigate the void from within his inner world.

Moreover, as a time traveler, he has personally experienced the cycle of life and death and time travel, and has a talent for the Dao of Void that is difficult for ordinary people to match. In addition, the complete set of Tianshan Sect inheritance movies he obtained a few days ago includes the instant teleportation technique that pays homage to Dragon Ball.

"My darling~ From today onwards, you belong to me!"

Chen Hao stood in the sky, weighed the divine spear he had just seized, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He casually wiped away the aura left by the Taoist and began to refine it on the spot.

This divine spear is entirely black, with a real dragon coiled around it. It is unknown what kind of metal it is made of, perhaps mixed with a lot of dragon-patterned black gold, or perhaps it is made entirely of dragon-patterned black gold. The spear is heavy, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. The spearhead is sharp, but it is dull and has no luster.

"Who are you?!"

After the beast kings came to their senses, they looked at Chen Hao with surprise and uncertainty.

Chen Hao's unethical sneak attack to steal the treasure made him seem like a bad person, but after obtaining the black dragon spear, he patiently waited for them to recover and did not continue to attack them.

Although we don't know the extent of their direct strength, the fact that they just used force to control them is enough to make us wary.

Moreover, the opponent has a dragon spear in hand. If they continue to swing the dragon spear and stab them a few more times while their minds are off guard, they will be seriously injured even if they don't die.

Although the Black Dragon Spear is unreliable and doesn't have any special Dao principles, it's tough enough—much stronger than their physical bodies. The spearhead is also very sharp; if someone's head gets pierced and blown off when they're unprepared, they're truly doomed.

"My name is Chen Hao, and I am just an unknown rogue cultivator. I came to Kunlun to search for treasures."

Chen Hao stored the black dragon spear in his inner world, looked down at the tense beast kings, and revealed a kind smile.

In his view, these tough-skinned beast kings were perfect training targets!

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, which Shi Hao intentionally transformed into a training ground for raising Gu worms, simply understanding the Dao and cultivating, and single-mindedly focusing on arduous practice, is not enough.

There is no such easy and carefree paradise for spiritual cultivation; one must be fierce enough in battle to protect oneself and one's loved ones.
