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

Chapter 94 The Desperate Void

A wave of helplessness surged through Jiang Bai's heart, making him want to give up.

What to give up? Oh, it's living.

A thought also welled up in Jiang Bai's mind: You are not an invincible person who shook the universe, created the alchemy method, and was revered as the King of Men; you are just an unlucky guy who worked overtime until he died suddenly.

Everything you're experiencing now is just your dying fantasy.

Child, wake up, depart, say goodbye to this sorrowful world, and find complete liberation.

Whispers continued to rise, tempting Jiang Bai to give up.

At the same time, scenes from his past life, which he hadn't recalled for many years, appeared in Jiang Bai's mind.

The gifted boy from the countryside realized his powerlessness for the first time when he entered a city high school.

After striving and entering a top university through the college entrance examination, I discovered that I was still just an ordinary person.

Choosing the wrong major, going through the arduous process of postgraduate entrance exams to change majors, working desperately to earn money to support oneself, finally graduating with great difficulty, thinking that one can become a superior person.

As a result, I found myself only able to work like a beast of burden, spending every day in front of the computer typing away, working overtime to complete one project after another.

After years of hard work, he had amassed millions in wealth and was finally able to return home and take his parents to enjoy a better life... when he suffered a brain hemorrhage.

"Although it was tough, it proved that I was good enough and my mind was firm enough, which laid the foundation for my fame as the King of Men and for walking the path of immortality in the mortal world between life and death, didn't it?"

Jiang Bai slowly opened his eyes, stood up, shattered the corrupting laws of the Fallen Ridge, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"As for my dying fantasies? Am I the inspirational Jiang Bai, or the King of Men Jiang Bai?"

"All I can say is that what I see, what I hear, and what I stand on are all real, and I... am real."

Turning around, Jiang Bai walked gracefully towards the edge of the Fallen Ridge, where the void and Lin Feng awaited him.

He had come to understand how Fallen Ridge operated; it didn't reflect another future, but rather struck at the softest spot in one's heart, leading to despair and death.

Lin Feng's gentleness stemmed from his early fame. He believed he could bring his family "ascension" to the heavens, so the Fallen Ridge manifested a tragic ending for him, caused by his "youthful impetuosity," which led to his death and the subsequent misery of his family.

The softness of the void is the greatest righteousness, so Fallen Ridge evolved its darkest side for him. He fought desperately all the way, enduring alone, and finally ended up in a desperate situation where he wanted to kill the enemy but was powerless to reverse the situation.

All of this is a test of will.

Those with unwavering will, like Lin Feng, Xu Kong, and Jiang Bai, can easily overcome and break free, and achieve inner fulfillment.

Those with weak willpower will most likely succumb to depravity, their primordial spirit annihilated, and their physical body transformed into nourishment for the Fallen Ridge.

"Senior, shall we open this place to all living beings in the universe?" Void asked Jiang Bai.

"Let's open it up. It can help us gather another batch of faith power, but we need to tell you about the dangers beforehand." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Bai decided to open it up. This place was not bad as a place to hone one's mental state.

On behalf of all beings in the universe, Xu Kong thanked Jiang Bai. In his eyes, Fallen Ridge was a good place for geniuses to temper their minds.

The more perfect one's state of mind is, the further one can go in the future.

With the blessing of Fallen Ridge, even more prodigies will emerge in the Shrouding the Heavens universe in the future.

Of course, some people will perish in Fallen Ridge during this time, becoming sustenance for this desolate place.

.........

Fallen Ridge targets the soul, while the second fortress created by Jiang Bai and his companions will target the physical body. It's a direct confrontation.

Unfortunately, there are no forbidden zones in the world of Shrouding the Heavens that can threaten the Great Emperor, otherwise Jiang Bai and the other two could have imitated it.

After discussion, the three decided to develop this second forbidden land into "Emperor's Calamity".

The Great Emperor Tribulation is the most common type of existence in the Shrouding the Heavens universe that can threaten the life of a Great Emperor.

"In order to better imitate and evolve, Lin Feng, you should undergo tribulation. Void, you should also try to shatter the myriad paths and erase the Heavenly Heart Mark," Jiang Bai suggested to the two.

Five hundred years later, as a large number of saints from across the universe were tempering their minds on the outskirts of Fallen Ridge, bolts of lightning flashed across the edge of the universe. The light refracted by the Void Mirror pierced through the sea of ​​lightning, illuminating a small part of the universe.

In the past, the Void's application of the Great Dao of Space was mostly in battlefield maneuvering and ambushes. This time, however, his application of the Great Dao of Space is in direct combat.

As the forbidden secret techniques from the Void Scripture were unleashed, seas of lightning were shattered by space, and the overwhelming suppression of the void was blocked.

With a roar, the beam of light from the Void Mirror, which had shone through countless ages, shattered the Heavenly Heart Mark in the void, forcefully creating a hole in the suppression of all paths.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity to draw down his own Great Emperor Tribulation, and he was extremely excited.

Having been tempered by Fallen Ridge, he now lacks nothing.

"As the Great Emperor of the Human Race, how can I be suppressed by the myriad paths? How can I mediocrely follow the path of conforming to the myriad paths? I should be on par with the myriad paths, and even surpass them!" A roar suddenly burst forth from the void.

The usually calm and silent Void was now filled with madness.

Watching the battle, Jiang Bai, who was using the Lian Shan Gui Zang technique to imitate and evolve the New Origin Technique, and was preparing to create the Great Emperor's Thunder Tribulation, saw the changes in the void and a smile appeared on his lips.

This is right.

The void is no weaker than humans; it has not only enemies but also allies.

Sometimes Jiang Bai thought that his survival was an inspiration to the later Human Emperor of Shrouding the Heavens.

The Void has been performing rather uneventfully all these years, which is something he's really not used to.

Now the Void should learn from him, to rise above all paths, that's the right way to do it.

Unfortunately, the Void's strength was still somewhat lacking. Even though it tried its best to extract the Heavenly Heart Mark from the fusion of myriad paths, it was still still a little short.

"After all, he was just a Great Emperor for one lifetime, and he didn't have any special physical enhancements. He also hadn't experienced the tempering of a special tribulation, so his combat strength was a bit lacking."

Void didn't lose because of its mentality or willpower, but because of its basic numerical values.

Jiang Bai turned his gaze to Lin Feng. This guy was undergoing tribulation at a rapid pace. With sufficient basic strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with the Great Emperor's lightning tribulation. Moreover, he had already activated the Origin Technique Array located in the Chaos Sea as originally planned.

From the beginning, they made two preparations: one was for Jiang Bai to evolve independently, to be engraved, and to imitate.

One method was to pre-bury a source technique array in the Chaos Sea as the foundation of the new forbidden zone, to be used to inscribe the Great Emperor's lightning tribulation. When Lin Feng was undergoing tribulation, as long as he could withstand it, the Great Emperor's lightning tribulation would be drawn over, and the array in the Chaos Sea would be used to inscribe it.

With Jiang Bai backing us up, we're not afraid of anything going wrong.

It seems the plan was a success. The Origin Technique Array buried in the Chaos Sea has been activated under Lin Feng's control, and a portion of the aura of the Great Emperor's Tribulation has been inscribed on it. As the Origin Technique Array operates, it crushes countless chaotic objects, creating continuous mountains and rivers, upon which flows the aura of the Great Emperor's Tribulation.

As Lin Feng finished his tribulation, the void was no longer under pressure. Looking at the Heavenly Heart Mark that he had almost managed to pull out from the myriad paths, a raging fire burned in his eyes. He didn't want to be just a little short; he wanted to succeed.

"Come out!" The roar echoed throughout the universe, and the myriad paths that had their Heavenly Heart Marks removed let out a mournful cry.
