Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chapter 89 Poisoning Duan De, a Dark Move

Not long after Ye Fan and his group left, the stone mountain where they had been standing collapsed, and a vibrant green glow filled the sky. A huge green treasure basin emerged from the ground and sucked the Demon Emperor's weapon into it.

"What is that?"

Ye Fan was extremely shocked that something could actually absorb an imperial weapon.

Is that a beaver?

"Boundless oh bound ...

Duan De was so surprised that he stammered a little, but at the same time he instantly understood everything and knew why this place always attracted spirit weapons to fly over.

"What kind of treasure basin can even gather imperial weapons?"

Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, a woman of unparalleled beauty and captivating charm stood before the treasure basin. After putting away the treasure basin containing the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon, she transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

All that remained was a string of heavenly laughter: "Many thanks to the seniors for their help, otherwise even if the descendants of the Demon Emperor came in person, it would be difficult to truly obtain the Great Emperor's supreme treasure—"

"Even a descendant of the Demon Emperor himself couldn't retrieve the Emperor's treasure? This...this...is that right? Are you really a descendant of the Demon Emperor?"

Ye Fan was still completely bewildered. He didn't understand and always felt that there was something strange about the Beidou region.

"How dare you speak such nonsense! That Heavenly Venerable Wuliang now possesses divine weapons; does Fairy Fanye not know the principle that trouble comes from the mouth?"

Perhaps because he felt a connection with Ye Fan, Duan De kindly offered Ye Fan a reminder.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Duan."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan snapped out of his daze and realized that the two of them were in a desolate mountain with no one around, making it the perfect opportunity to strike. With a smirk, he triggered the long-accumulated poison within Duan De's body.

"Why...why do I suddenly feel so dizzy?"

Duan De felt dizzy and his obese body began to sway.

"Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal."

The emerald green light mixed with shimmering gold, and under the cover of countless green leaves, Duan De's temples were struck countless times by Ye Fan.

The accumulated poison in his body erupted, and Duan De, who was already dizzy and weak, was further beaten by Ye Fan. Finally, he could not withstand it, his eyes rolled back, and he had no more power to resist and completely passed out.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

A round of applause followed.

"Who?"

Ye Fan reacted instantly, turning around to reveal his fierce expression, his long hair cascading down as if dancing without wind.

"Well done, Ye Zi. To be able to defeat a Celestial Venerable who has just completed his cultivation, you truly have the makings of an Emperor."

Chen Hao, with a forced smile on his face, clapped and praised.

"Haozi, it's you! You scared me to death!"

After recognizing the person who had come, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to complain, "Haozi, I'm suffering! You have no idea how shameless the local cultivators in Beidou are. They've all ganged up on me! You have to stand up for me!"

After suffering so much in Beidou, Ye Fan felt like he was seeing a relative when he saw Chen Hao, his powerful backer, and a surge of grievances welled up in his heart.

"Speak properly, why are you pulling and tugging like this?"

Chen Hao used a gentle force to push Ye Fan away, who was trying to hug him.

"Oh, I understand."

Ye Fan saw Weiwei behind Chen Hao and revealed a subtle expression. Remembering that he was still in female form, and that Haozi was afraid that the newly formed fairy would misunderstand, he immediately transformed back into his male form.

Sigh, what a miserable life I've been living these past few days. Judging from this, Haozi has probably hooked up with quite a few high-quality beauties again. What a beast!

Moreover, there seems to be a cute and sensible little sister by his side, which is very comforting to look at, unlike himself who is either being chased or being tricked and attacked all day long.

"Brother Hao, you said that Taoist priest is a Celestial Venerable?"

Knowing beforehand that Ye Fan was a man, Weiwei wasn't jealous; instead, she focused her attention on Duan De.

"The Celestial Venerable? Him?"

Ye Fan looked incredulous.

"He really is something else. When have I ever lied to you? This fat guy has quite a background. In the past, some people called him the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, the Underworld Venerable, the Underworld Emperor, and the Source Emperor—at the same time, he was also the teacher of the Emperor Venerable and created the cancerous force of the Underworld."

The scourge of corpses that has plagued this world for countless years, while not entirely his fault, is certainly related to him.

Before Chen Hao could finish speaking, Ye Fan, his face darkening, began to stomp on the fat man's face with his imposing big feet.

The dire state of Earth is inextricably linked to the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains created by the ancient Heavenly Court, which requires advanced source techniques. This fat man is clearly one of the creators, but that's not the point. More importantly, the Great Accomplished Holy Body grew red hair in its later years, which was a vicious curse cast by the Underworld, and this fat man is the creator of the Underworld.

Ye Fan was filled with rage and didn't care how powerful the other party was. All he wanted to do was beat this fatso to vent his anger.

"call----"

After beating the fat man like a punching bag, Ye Fan took a deep breath and felt a sense of relief.

"Haozi, since this fatso is a Heavenly Venerable cultivator, his origin must be extremely profound, right?"

Ye Fan's eyes were sharp, as if a ferocious beast about to be unleashed.

It is said that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, so surely the essence of a Celestial Venerable would be able to push his demonic arts to their peak, saving him the trouble of devouring the essences of the kings one by one.

Duan De, this big fish, just happened to fall into his hands during his period of decline and rebuilding. If he doesn't squeeze him dry, it would be a waste of his talent!

"Well, don't overthink it. This fatso is on the path of condensing the Nine Reincarnation Seal, ultimately unifying the Dao Fruits of the Nine Reincarnations, and becoming a Mortal Immortal."

Before he dies in each of his lifetimes, he leaves behind a memory crystal before burying himself.

Once the Reincarnation Seal is formed, the primordial spirit and Dao fruit of the previous life are all contained within it, and a nascent consciousness of spiritual rebirth is born in the body. Then, after the new consciousness touches the divine crystal, it can understand all past lives.

In order to cultivate in this life, after reading all the memories, he will cut off everything within an hour of waking up, leaving only a profound skill to protect his body.

The Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit, memories, and Dao fruits are locked away in the Samsara Seal. You don't have the ability to swallow them. If you really have the ability to provoke them out, we will all be in big trouble.

"And setting aside the Reincarnation Seal, his current physical origins and newly formed primordial spirit are practically starting from scratch. Even if you could absorb them, how much could you possibly absorb?"

Chen Hao understood that Ye Fan wanted to devour Duan De's origin, but he was not optimistic about it.

Duan De's path of unifying the Dao Fruits of nine lifetimes reminded him of Dugu Baitian from the novel "Immortal and Undying." Both were about continuous reincarnation and unifying the Dao Fruits of nine lifetimes, connecting all past and present lives, but there were also significant differences.

Dugu Baitian is an immortal battle spirit, constantly reincarnating. In each life, he has a new body, but his soul origin remains unchanged; only his memories and personality differ.

In fact, even with different personalities, one can completely disregard their past lives. However, he ultimately took the Dugu Baitian personality as the main one, acknowledged his previous nine lives, and finally merged all his memories and Dao fruits into one.

Duan De, on the other hand, continuously buries his own body, waiting for his physical body to become spiritually connected, forming new reincarnation seals. What remains unchanged is the essence of his physical body, which nourishes the rebirth of his primordial spirit, and finally, he fuses the nine reincarnation seals together to become an immortal.
