Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

"Moving mountains and overturning seas..."

Ye Fan stood there stunned, speechless for a moment.

Arriving late aboard the Kunlun Jade Ship, he watched as the entire Vatican, including the underground dragon veins, were hollowed out and devoured by Chen Hao with his supernatural power capable of moving mountains and overturning seas.

All that remained was a huge, seemingly endless hole, with no visible boundary or bottom. This pit was nothing short of a deep abyss.

Ye Fan was greatly shocked. He had never had a clear concept of what a strong person could do before. Chen Hao's killing of enemies was basically effortless and he could not see any real skill involved. Now he finally witnessed a truly grand scene.

Then a surge of pride rose in his heart, and he vowed that he would one day possess such power that could move mountains and overturn seas!

Leaving aside Ye Fan's grand vision for the future, Chen Hao had already returned with a full load of achievements and only wanted to return to Kunlun as soon as possible to find a quiet place to properly digest his gains.

It's just tough on those Westerners who weren't chosen by Audrey, since only a minority of the chosen ones are qualified to enter the Kingdom of the Great God.

The chosen ones are mostly exceptionally beautiful young women, elegant and dignified noble ladies from well-educated families, pure and kind nuns, resolute and courageous female knights, learned and talented female mages proficient in various spells, innocent and carefree mountain spirits, beautiful and holy angels, and alluring and seductive fallen angels...

The Vatican residents who were not selected looked at this hellish abyss, which was even more desolate than the barren desert, and wept bitterly. This place was no longer suitable for spiritual practice or normal life. The only option was to relocate collectively to the former holy city of Jerusalem.

According to the saint, although that place was also punished, the Sovereign did not take away the land.

After the Sovereign sent down divine punishment to destroy the false gods, Jerusalem has passed the trial and successfully cleansed its sins. Moreover, the Sovereign has bestowed a divine monument, so perhaps more hope will be born in that divinely granted land in the future.

……

In the following period, Chen Hao went on a campaign, not only traversing the Vatican and Jerusalem, but also climbing Mount Olympus, visiting the sacred land of Egypt, and venturing deep into the Buddhist land of India. Of course, he also visited the various Taoist lineages in China, leaving his footprints in every famous Taoist temple in the world.

Some stubborn individuals refused to believe the evil and simply annihilated the Vatican, but not everyone was so obstinate as to seek their own death. The tragic state of the Vatican's original site made all religions more welcoming and hospitable.

Not wanting to follow in the footsteps of the Vatican, they warmly welcomed Chen Hao's visit and guidance, practically granting him every request.

Chen Hao, however, would not go on a killing spree against the sensible sects; he would simply take what interested him and browse through their ancient texts and traditions.

They also comprehend and understand the Daoist principles left behind by ancient sages in famous mountains, rivers, grottoes, and blessed lands, nurturing their Daoist embryos and incidentally comprehending some lost secret techniques, such as the powerful secret art of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.

This period was busy and fulfilling. However, even though Chen Hao had been intentionally suppressing himself, just like Wang Bo deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed to solidify his foundation when he was rebuilding, Chen Hao's Divine Tomb Martial Arts cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Rank. His Secret Realm cultivation had also naturally broken through and improved with the passage of time, reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Every time Chen Hao made a small breakthrough, he had to endure an incredibly terrifying tribulation, making him feel like he was dying.

However, Chen Hao also knew that as long as he wasn't killed by the lightning, the heavenly tribulation was both a calamity and an opportunity. Therefore, unlike the Great Emperor Wushi, he didn't start studying the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns after being struck by lightning too many times.

However, Chen Hao had gained insights and made research in other areas after being struck by lightning so many times.

He was very interested in the fact that the Heavenly Tribulation could imitate the Dao traces of the strong in the world, and reproduce a part of the power of the strong in the form of humanoid lightning to temper the one undergoing the tribulation.

After all, his innate Dao embryo is naturally close to the Dao, and he can control the power of the Great Dao. Moreover, his "Dao embryo" supernatural power can also imitate the Dao principles of others. Stealing merits and seizing the Dao is only a thought away. It's just that his database is not as comprehensive as the marks of the strong automatically imprinted by heaven and earth.

Therefore, during his tribulation, in addition to honing himself and absorbing the fragments of powerful Dao principles contained within the lightning tribulation, he also intentionally observed the condensation, generation, and manifestation of humanoid lightning.

Chen Hao himself knows many techniques and secret arts, such as the Divine Body Condensation Technique, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the Demon Summoning Scripture, the Flower Blooming in a Single Thought, the Ruler of the World, the One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones, and the Endless Battle Soul that he created before.

Chen Hao combined his extraordinary comprehension with the essence of these divine arts, blended his observations of humanoid lightning with them, and used the essence of the Dao principles absorbed by the Dao Embryo as a foundation to comprehend the method of manifesting the Dharma body of others with his own Qi.

Although the manifested pure energy incarnation can only be a familiar existence, the more proficient one is in its principles, the better the effect; otherwise, it is merely a mere shell.

  

However, for Chen Hao, this is already a good start. As his cultivation deepens, he will surely be able to continuously improve this method.

Of course, the Qi Transformation Method is just a little thing he developed on a whim, and it's currently just for his own amusement.

To Chen Hao's amusement and exasperation, the profound foundation he had accumulated from the secret technique he had previously comprehended, which allowed him to cultivate in harmony with his Daoist partner, was now in effect.

Chen Hao can perfectly manifest his Daoist partners, but he needs to carefully observe and familiarize himself with others. Ideally, he should be able to see the essence of their Daoist techniques and their personal characteristics in battle.

When Chen Hao was testing this method, he was also able to mirror his incarnations onto his fellow Daoists and friends to help them cultivate. After all, being able to fight against an incarnation that was exactly like him in every way was a rare experience, and as long as one could break through their own limitations, they would definitely benefit greatly.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."

Ye Fan plopped down on the ground and shouted loudly.

His face was covered in bruises and his body was covered in wounds, while in front of him was a guy who looked exactly like him but whose body was radiating golden light and extraordinary battle aura effects.

"Haozi, are you really sure this guy is on par with Ye Fan? Did you use your divine sense to fight for him?"

Pang Bo, who also had a bruised and swollen face, looked at the other Ye Fan and clicked his tongue in amazement. Although he had fought against his other self and had been unable to break through his moves and had suffered many setbacks, he had never lost as miserably as Ye Fan.

Elsewhere, many disciples of the Kunlun Sect, as well as numerous Daoist partners and relatives of Chen Hao, are struggling against their other selves. Very few can fight to a draw, and none can win.

Some who are able to adapt to the situation and even improve themselves in battle are surprised to find that their opponent's other self will also synchronize with their own strength in real time. The stronger they are, the more powerful the other self that Chen Hao has transformed into becomes.

"If I were a substitute, Ye Zi wouldn't have lasted this long before calling a halt. The reason he looks so miserable is simply because he himself is very strong."

The other Ye Fan I conjured up had the same strength as him, and couldn't defend against the attack from my other self. Naturally, he looked more badly injured. In reality, Ye Fan had thick skin and flesh; these were all superficial injuries, and he wasn't seriously hurt at all.

Chen Hao shook his head.

"Father, when will you take me to that place again?"

Ye Fan got up from the ground, wincing in pain, but quickly ran over and asked in a low voice with a smile.
