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

Chapter 71 Fishing for the Deepest Fish
Faced with the revelry of all living beings in the universe, Jiang Bai chose to return to the Divine Land World to cultivate in seclusion.

A thousand years later, when all beings in the universe were diligently cultivating and waiting for the birth of the next great emperor, the myriad paths that filled the starry sky let out a mournful cry, the statues of human kings and gods closed one after another, and the divine land world ceased to expand and was sealed off.

All living beings in the universe were stunned by this scene.

Considering Jiang Bai's previous removal from the restricted area, people speculated that there was a problem with Jiang Bai's transformation.

"But that's not right. With the strength of the Human King, if his lifespan is cut off, he can go to another world to extend his life."

Questions were raised.

"It shouldn't be a problem with lifespan, but rather a problem with the Great Dao, or a problem with one's own transformation."

Over the years, everyone has come to know that Jiang Bai survived by undergoing transformation after transformation, struggling in the mortal world and striving for an alternative path to immortality.

However, the Divine Land World is sealed off, and no one can enter. They can only go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to seek an audience with the ruthless person.

However, when everyone arrived at the outer perimeter of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, they found that the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was also sealed off. Time flowed extremely fast inside, and entering would result in a significant loss of lifespan.

The Great Sage of Yaochi, the Great Sage of Jiang Family, and the Great Sage of Divine Silkworm Ridge attempted to enter with imperial weapons, risking their lives to seek help. They withstood the power of time but were driven out by the Desolate Slave.

A quasi-emperor used imperial weapons to defeat the desolate slaves and rushed into the nine sacred mountains, only to be driven out by an even more ferocious power of time.

People are in despair. What's wrong?
"It's truly shattering, not a disguise." In the unknown depths of the Chaos Sea, the Emperor frowned slightly.

He saw it more clearly: in that place above all paths, Jiang Bai's mark of the Human King was already on the verge of shattering.

The Emperor of the Desolate Forbidden Land also saw it. In his eyes, the Empress inside also had a problem; her primordial spirit was scattered and her Dao fruit was weakening.

"Is it a scheme? The price is too high."

"Isn't it a scheme? Then it's just a case of borrowing the tiger's power. Even the destruction of Burial Sky Island was just a pretense to lure people in."

The Emperor fell into thought, but then he smiled.

"Let the Immortal Emperor test the waters."

What he wanted were several immortal fruits to reach a higher realm. Since Jiang Bai and the Empress had encountered problems, he would continue to target the Undying Emperor.

Although it's a bit slow, the Immortal Emperor is still reliable.

Although Jiang Bai and the ruthless man are making rapid progress, every step they take is fraught with danger, just like now, when a problem has arisen.

"As expected, not everyone is as strong as me." A smug glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes.

In this strange world, the Undying Emperor looked at the message from his hidden plan in the universe of "Covering the Sky," and the same thoughts as those of the Emperor flashed through his mind.

"He's pretending to be fishing; he's actually weak."

"Or is he really trying to fish for me and scam me?"

A look of struggle flashed in the eyes of the Undying Emperor. In his eyes, they were now racing against time with Jiang Bai and Wu Shi.

The best way to hold someone back is to destroy one of their pillars.

Similarly, Jiang Bai killing one of them would also be a good way to buy time.

"I'll take the gamble. It'll just mean a few useless people die." The Immortal Emperor made up his mind shortly afterward.

On this day, the universe shook violently, and the Flying Immortal Waterfall descended upon the world, spanning the outer reaches of the Divine Land.

Those who had been sent here by powerful cosmic races and lineages to keep a close eye on the Divine Land world all showed expressions of shock.

It's unbelievable that such a strange object could suddenly appear, and without any warning at all.

A sage once tried to approach the Flying Immortal Waterfall, but as soon as he got close, he was killed by a gentle, jade-like hand that reached out from inside.

No, they didn't even touch. He simply extended his palm, and a wisp of energy shattered the saint's body, causing him to die.

The rest of the onlookers, whether saints, great saints, or quasi-emperors, all fled in panic; this was no longer something they could participate in.

His palm shot directly toward the Divine Land World, instantly shattering the blockade that even a Quasi-Emperor couldn't see through, and crushing the outer Emperor-level formation as well.

"Is this an immortal?" A quasi-emperor among the onlookers stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Within the divine land, the witches, led by their faith puppets, launched an attack on Wen Ying's jade-like hand.

The faith puppets mobilized their faith power, activating the imperial array buried deep within Kunlun Mountain, Undying Mountain, Holy Spirit Ancestral Land, Burial Sky Island, Immortal Tomb, Divine Void, and Reincarnation Sea, unleashing terrifying attacks.

The Holy Spirit Ancestral Land was brought back by Yu Feng and Little Divine Silkworm, and transformed into the foundation of this world for the expansion of the Divine Land World.

But it was useless; it couldn't stop Wen Ying's jade-like hand for even a moment.

The palm traveled all the way to the King's Palace on Mount Kunlun, as if people on the other side of the Flying Immortal Waterfall could see everything here.

"As expected of the Undying Emperor, he is decisive enough." Jiang Bai looked at Wen Ying's large, smooth hand, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

If an outsider were to see Jiang Bai at this moment, they would be utterly shocked. His once thick black hair was now draped in white, and his overall condition was strange. He looked aged, yet a closer look revealed a vibrant life force within him. But strangely, that vibrant life force gave the impression that it was unable to be unleashed.

Jiang Bai summoned the Myriad Souls Banner and unleashed endless sword energy, slicing the Undying Emperor's hand to pieces.

"roll."

Jiang Bai's voice brought immense joy to the beings outside the Divine Land World: the Human King was safe and sound, that was wonderful.

"You really did have a problem. Eradicating Burial Sky Island was just a bluff." The voice of the Undying Emperor rang out, full of pleasure. He had made the right bet.

If Jiang Bai were at his peak, he shouldn't have just chopped up the hand that Jiang Bai had created, but instead smashed the entire Flying Immortal Waterfall and tried to severely injure him.

No, there's no problem. I'm undergoing a transformation, and incidentally, I'm fishing.

Integrating the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm with alchemy requires more than just deduction and speculation; it necessitates practical application.

Jiang Bai is now putting this into practice, and through this he intends to advance from the sixth generation to the seventh.

In practice, Jiang Bai made a bold move, injecting his own essence, energy, spirit, a portion of the secret realm techniques, and the Human King Dao Fruit into his Golden Core, to see if he could transform into a completely new state in one go, or even... ascend to immortality in one step.

Well, it can't be said that it has failed. At the very least, it is stuck in the middle, to the point that not only has it not entered the seventh generation, but its own combat power has also been reduced by half.

However, it's not a big problem. Our combat strength is still sufficient to protect ourselves, and we also have backup plans.

After all, there's a fishing purpose involved this time, so we can't afford to be careless.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind, but they all came in an instant.

"Kill him." The indifferent voice of the Undying Emperor echoed from within the Flying Immortal Waterfall.

At the same time, five beings, radiating supreme aura but with peak blood energy, and whose power was far inferior to that of the Emperor of the Heavens, burst out from the Flying Immortal Waterfall, rushing towards Jiang Bai with boundless killing intent.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Bai laughed in anger: "Your Majesty, you're really underestimating me."

They actually sent five people who could be killed with a flick of their wrist. I'm speechless.

"How could this be?" The Five-Colored Heavenly Blade flew out of the Flying Immortal Waterfall along with the voice.

In an instant, the dazzling blade light collided with the silver armor, and Jiang Bai was forced back.

"Your condition is so poor, I'll kill you." From within the Flying Immortal Waterfall, the Undying Emperor's voice was filled with excitement, and he attempted to unleash even more power.

Jiang Bai coldly waved the Myriad Soul Banner, unleashing endless chaotic sword energy, which this time directly severed a small portion of the Flying Immortal Waterfall.

"I'll hold you up for you." A cold voice rang out, and the Undying Emperor instantly projected an avatar into the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

Judging from his aura, Jiang Bai realized that he was only slightly weaker than himself at this moment, but with the support of five useless supreme beings and the backing of his main body in the Flying Immortal Waterfall, he was more than capable of killing him.

"Kill you." The Undying Emperor's incarnation unleashed a five-colored divine light, striking towards Jiang Bai.

At this moment, Jiang Bai was in danger in everyone's eyes, but Jiang Bai smiled.

"Emperor, if I were to slay one of your avatars, destroy five of your supreme subordinates, and then ruin your Flying Immortal Waterfall, would you feel any remorse?"

A sharp sword light flew out from the Big Dipper. Before the Flying Immortal Waterfall shattered, the Undying Emperor only saw a woman wearing a bronze mask coming from the universe, beautiful and powerful.

Jiang Bai laughed. The ruthless man's state of being half-awake and half-drunk was quite suitable for swindling people.

The beings of the universe were stunned; the Human King was indeed a swindler.

"No, there's still a problem. There's no need to watch anymore." In the shadows, the Emperor sighed and left.

In his eyes, there were two forces devouring each other within Jiang Bai's body at this moment, and the five secret realms were severely weakened, so he was probably doomed.

Even ruthless people are seen as walking on the edge of life and death by the Emperor, and could run into trouble at any moment.

Moreover, the Emperor guessed that the reason Jiang Bai and the Ruthless Man were in such a hurry was because they were afraid of him.

Overall, there's no need to pay attention to it for now.

After the sense of crisis in their hearts subsided somewhat, Jiang Bai and the ruthless man exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The Immortal Emperor is a fish, and the Emperor in the shadows is also a fish.

"I should be able to focus on my spiritual practice in the years to come."

After encountering the Divine Child and guessing the Emperor's strength, Jiang Bai had a terrifying thought: would this guy secretly kill him?

Especially after constantly feeling the Emperor's gaze, this idea became even stronger, and the sense of crisis in his heart grew bigger and bigger. Now it's all right.

This is also why he did not choose to transform immediately, but instead personally killed the incarnation of the Immortal Emperor.
