Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 43 The Unfortunate Ascension

"In the past, I hunted down the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones because I wanted to use their power to become stronger."

I also wanted to vent my frustration from the bad luck.

"But there are too many Supreme Beings in the restricted area, and their effect on me is getting weaker and weaker, so it's better to divide them into different groups."

"After all, as you know, the remaining restricted areas are all clustered together."

Although the players in the restricted area are not very skilled, their sheer number makes up for it.

The number of creatures accumulated from the mythological era to the present day, even without the attacks, erosion, and slaughter by figures such as the Western Emperor, the Ruthless Man, the Void, Hengyu, the Supreme Emperor, and the Azure Emperor, remains terrifying.

It was far from the time of Ye Fan, when only two remained in the Reincarnation Sea and the Undying Mountain, the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land disappeared, the Divine Ruins had only three or four left, the Immortal Tomb had only five or six left, and the Burial Sky Island and the Primordial Ancient Mine had more.

Take, for example, the Divine Ruins and Immortal Tomb, which were swept aside by Jiang Bai; both were built upon at least six or seven supreme beings from forbidden zones.

The Primordial Mine, the Undying Mountain, the Reincarnation Sea, the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land, and the Burial Sky Island—each of these places is estimated to still have seven or eight forbidden zones where supreme beings reside.

It's normal to have ten ancient mines.

Therefore, being a Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone wasn't very useful for improving his strength. Now that the effects of consecutive lives had diminished and his own bad luck had disappeared, Jiang Bai had lost interest in hunting them.

Jiang Bai did not choose to contact the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone directly, nor even indirectly; he simply sent a message to the entire universe in a calm manner.

"The world that the Immortal Emperor entered is called the Strange World. It contains a small amount of longevity substances that can greatly extend a person's lifespan. It is also a transit station between our universe and the Immortal Realm."

"To break down the barriers between the two sides, one must possess at least the combat power of a Heavenly Emperor."

"Throughout history, only a few people have possessed the combat power of a Heavenly Emperor: Lingbao, Dizun, Bu Si, the God Emperor of yesteryear, myself, Wushi, and so on."

"However, once you enter, it's very difficult to come back; the cost is quite high."

The universe beings who received the reply, as well as the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones who received the news from their subordinates, were all in an uproar.

There was actually a transit world before entering the Immortal Realm.

Only those with Heavenly Emperor-level combat power can enter?
And do emperors also have different combat power levels?
This news is absolutely explosive!

Many people want to refute this, arguing that since the Great Emperor is already at the pinnacle of cultivation, how come another Heavenly Emperor level has suddenly appeared?

What the hell is that!
However, considering Jiang Bai's past exploits of sweeping through forbidden zones, killing Supreme Beings like slaughtering chickens, and his solo defeat of six Ultimate Ascension Emperors after Wushi's tribulation, everyone suddenly felt that the idea that Heavenly Emperor-level combat power and Emperors were also divided into different ranks was not unacceptable.

In the years that followed, the entire universe fell into tranquility. With Jiang Bai's help, Wu Shi and Xi Huang suppressed their own Great Dao within their bodies using imperial weapons, so as not to affect the universe.

"Perhaps after ten thousand years, Yunxiao will return, and he will be able to prove his Dao after shedding his sacred body."

This is Jiang Bai's reason for persuading him.

However, all beings in the universe are grateful to Wushi and Xihuang, and hope that future emperors will also make the same choice. In this way, the saying that two emperors will never meet will be broken, and there will be multiple emperors standing side by side in the future. What a prosperous scene that would be!

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly happy; then even the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone would be even less likely to emerge.

Jiang Bai was speechless after hearing this. They had no idea how difficult this matter was.

It takes at least the Heavenly Emperor level to do this, and one must also possess several Imperial Weapons or Immortal Artifacts.

Well, so Jiang Bai introduced the Taiyin Sect, the Taiyang Sect, and Mount Sumeru to the Western Emperor and Wushi, asking them to borrow the imperial weapon and, incidentally, help refine it, purifying the Taiyin and Taiyang Sects as well, as payment for borrowing the imperial weapon.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the Taiyin and Taiyang sects have become riddled with worms.

Jiang Bai thought the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones would come looking for him soon, but to his surprise, ten thousand years had passed, and when Yunxiao emerged from Kunlun Mountain, the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones still hadn't arrived.

"Thank you for saving my life, King." Yunxiao bowed solemnly to Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing. This is the karma I owe for fishing with Wushi."

"You should hurry up and cultivate to attain enlightenment, your wife's lifespan is running out."

Even though the Western Emperor attained enlightenment through the innate Dao embryonic constitution, his lifespan was only 13,000 to 14,000 years. He had taken the elixir of immortality during the previous great battle, and now, 10,000 years later, he was in his twilight years.

It's just that I rely on the power of faith to maintain my health, and my blood and energy are still relatively sufficient.

For ten thousand years, Wu Shi tirelessly searched for the ingredients to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, but he was never able to gather them all.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Yunxiao's expression changed, and he immediately headed towards Beidou.

Jiang Bai shook his head upon seeing this. It's fine to think about love and romance occasionally, but it's better to avoid actually pursuing it, as it would really interfere with cultivation.

As the clouds awaken, a new journey to become emperor begins, with countless geniuses embarking on the ancient starry road to make their names on it.

Among them, the most famous contestants are a young man named Yuhua from the ancient star Yuhua and a young man named Shenbai from the ancient star Honghuang.

Both were human, equally outstanding, and both managed to surpass their contemporaries.

His combat prowess after ascension is astonishing. At a young age, he mastered the power of ascension and the light of immortality. His killing power shocked his contemporaries, but his reputation is not good. He is too domineering in his actions.

Shenbai is different. He is naturally close to the power of faith, has a gentle personality, loves to be kind to people, and has helped many people along the way, which has led many people to voluntarily sing his myths.

Everyone calls him the second Amitabha Buddha, for his benevolence.

The two who ventured together on the ancient road never actually fought each other, which is something that people find regrettable.

After all, even if Shen Bai is called the second Amitabha Buddha, he should still show some strength.

Although Amitabha Buddha never killed any living beings in his life, it does not mean that he did not have the power to kill. He once used force to suppress a generation, but no one died.

Jiang Bai never expected that Shen Bai would take the initiative to come to the Divine Land World to find him, hoping that after someone attains enlightenment, he could regain his former power.

"Even if someone has already proven their path, I should still be a supreme emperor after regaining my former power."

"Since that's the case, why should I bother to fight for it?"

Shen Bai said gently to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai, as always, entrusted the transactions and management of the Divine Land World to Shen Bai, who was essentially a free robot.

The people of Yuhua Ancient Star were overjoyed by Shen Bai's withdrawal from the battle for the Emperor's Road. As a result, the current Emperor of this era will be the one from Yuhua Ancient Star.

The saying "too much joy leads to sorrow" applies to every world.

Just before Yu Hua reached the Quasi-Ninth Stage and was preparing to prove his Dao, Yun Xiao appeared.

"I'm sorry, young man, but I have reasons why I have to fight."

Upon seeing Yunxiao's astonishing aura of blood and energy, Yu Hua gritted his teeth and prepared to fight.

Giving up is not in his nature; he will inevitably have to wage an epic battle.

The power of ascension and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist collided in the starry sky, unleashing terrifying power. Even the residual force destroyed galaxies.

I went out for a while earlier, so I'm updating late. Sorry.

Otherwise, updates are usually around 9 PM.
