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

Chapter 99 The Vast and Resource-Rich Human Race

"Ah!" A piercing scream echoed through the mountains.

Many demon gods changed their expressions. It was the voice of the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace. How dare that human holy body kill them when they were all present?
At the summit of the mountain range, Zhou Ming, the Holy Body, stood with the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Palace master under his feet, looking at the numerous demon gods with a sneer, and said disdainfully, "Next, I'm going to the Heavenly Demon Palace to kill people. If you have the guts, come and stop me."

After saying that, Zhou Ming, the Holy Body, decisively turned and left, causing the group of demon gods to be furious. What an arrogant junior!

"Die!" The Heavenly Roc Demon God broke through the obstruction of the previous Holy Lord of the Yao Guang Holy Land and attacked the Holy Body Zhou Ming.

“You’re the one who’s going to die.” Holy Body Zhou Ming retaliated with a Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and grabbed him tightly.

"That's right, it's you who deserves to die, fellow Daoist." The former Holy Lord of Yao Guang Holy Land launched a sneak attack from behind the Heavenly Roc Demon God.

One hundred and eight halos evolved into one hundred and eight worlds, which crashed down.

"Ah, humans, you are shameless!" Tianpeng Demon God screamed.

Other demon gods tried to provide support, but were firmly blocked by their opponents. Zhou Ming and the former Holy Lord of Yao Guang Holy Land launched a frenzied attack, trading injury for life, and killed Tianpeng Demon God within a few dozen moves.

"Humans, you're quite the schemer." The Great Sage from the Demon Emperor's Palace spoke with an icy expression.

At this moment, they understood that this was a trap set by the combined forces of the human race to suppress the glorious era of the demon race.

"Shameless? Still, it's better than your cruelty. You kill billions of people without a second thought." Zhou Ming's face was cold.

"Today, you will pay for your crimes in blood."

A massive war has begun again, sweeping across the entire Eastern Wilderness and Southern Ridge.

Everywhere Jiang Bai looked, there was war.

In the Southern Ridge, the demons revealed their true forms, each towering and upright, while the barbarians transformed into war gods, equally formidable, fighting to the death without retreating.

Soon after, the imperial court and the various schools of thought in Zhongzhou dispatched a group of elite troops to support Nanling, launching a surprise attack on the Demon Emperor's Palace headquarters and severely damaging the enemy.

In the Northern Plains, both the sacred lands of the human race and the ancient aristocratic families were engaged in fierce battles with non-human forces.

Here, there were not only demons, but also some ancient races left behind, making the battle even more fierce. The major families were just short of using their deepest reserves, making it extremely tragic.

The Western Desert is the most peaceful place, because the demon race has been converted by Buddhism, and bodhisattvas and arhats have boarded warships to support the Eastern Wilderness.

Zhongzhou was the most capable, but after supporting Nanling, it was also exhausted.

The Eastern Wilderness was the place where the fighting was the most brutal and the battles the most fierce.

Dragons danced in the sea, rivers, and lakes, stirring up floods.

The roc soared through the sky, leading a large number of demons to support various battlefields.

All sorts of demons attacked wildly, unleashing their racial talents and attacking any city they encountered without mercy, revealing their full strength.

Even the universally recognized benevolent and neutral holy land of Yaochi has taken action, and other small human sects have also mobilized in a frenzy.

It's clear that the human race intends to crush the glory of the demon race in one fell swoop and break their bones.

Because of Jiang Bai, in this lifetime, many human forces with imperial weapons, such as the Jiang family, the Ji family, the Shenzhou Dynasty, and the Yuhua Dynasty, did not descend upon Beidou, making the human race's strength somewhat weaker than in the original timeline.

However, also because of Jiang Bai, the human race is now very resilient and cannot afford to disgrace the King.

Especially with Zhou Ming as the pillar of support.

In Jiang Bai's view, the fighting spirit of the various holy lands and aristocratic families was to crush the rising period of the Beidou Demon Clan in one battle.

Aren't you all full of demon gods? Aren't there many demons in various places? Aren't you physically strong and magically powerful? Then kill them all.

In this chaotic battle, Zhou Ming, the Holy Body, slaughtered his way through the enemy lines, his jet-black halberd stained red with blood from the sheer number of killings.

What Jiang Bai found amazing was that no one complained to him, which was quite impressive.

In the blink of an eye, the great war lasted for three years, and both the human and demon races of Beidou suffered heavy losses.

It was at this time that a human prodigy named Qi Sheng rose to prominence, wielding a scepter and wielding the Xingzi Secret Technique, dominating various battlefields. His first stop was infiltrating the gathering place of demon prodigies, where he carried out a massacre, killing them all.

The various demon clan secret realms posed no obstacle to him whatsoever.

While being pursued by a demon saint, he fought back as a half-saint and killed him when he was alone.

Qi Sheng roamed freely across the five major domains of the Big Dipper, looking down upon the world with unparalleled might. Among those of the same realm, the prodigies of the demon race were all defeated, and he killed so many that his lineage was cut off.

Furthermore, Zhou Ming, the Holy Body, killed eight demon gods in the Great Sage Battlefield, directly turning the tide of the battle.

The rising Beidou demon race was brutally crushed by the human race.

The subsequent distribution of spoils left many of the human race's holy sites bloated with wealth, and the best lands in the Big Dipper were occupied by various human holy sites and sects.

The demon race was driven into a small world that depended on the Big Dipper for survival, with only major forces such as the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Demon Emperor's Palace remaining.

This was a resounding victory.

After the war, Qi Sheng invited Zhou Ming to join the faction he had established, the Assassin Heavenly Court.

"I think being an assassin is awesome. You can kill people at will and unleash your bloodlust."

It was only then that everyone realized that Qi Sheng, this human prodigy, was ill and unable to control his killing intent.

"So, what kind of good person would build a force that focuses solely on assassination? You can tell from its attributes that it won't last long."

Jiang Bai sighed inwardly, realizing that he had solved another point of confusion he had encountered while reading the book.

After the war, Zhou Ming, who had broken through to the Quasi-Emperor level, personally took action to suppress Qi Sheng's murderous intent and led him to places like the Western Desert Buddhist Sect to carry out the suppression.

But it was still useless. Qi Sheng's bloodlust was innate. His words, "My parents are not to be killed, but all others can be killed," represented everything.

You could call him a born devil.

"Since I can't solve this problem, and I don't want to die easily or let my legacy end, I'll just stick to the plan and build the Assassin's Court, have a glorious time, and enjoy myself to the fullest."

"Moreover, I'm lucky. When you, Senior Holy Body, entered the Strange World after achieving Great Completion, I was able to go in with you."

Qi Sheng didn't intend to seal himself off, and he was also afraid that his bloodlust would prevent him from doing so and that he would come out and start a massacre.

Zhou Ming's expression froze for a moment, then he said seriously, "As long as you don't kill innocent people indiscriminately or commit wanton slaughter, I will definitely protect you."

He was a hero who contributed to the war between humans and demons; his achievements cannot be denied, but of course, they should not be exaggerated.

Jiang Bai shook his head upon seeing this, manifested his figure, and said softly, "If a bloodthirsty Asura were to slay evil, stop killing with killing, and perform acts of protection, then he would also be a good person."

"If one indulges in desires and kills indiscriminately, no matter how many reasons one has, it cannot change the fact that one is a demon."

“Young man, the legacy you need to build is not the Assassin's Court, but a greater power. Now, you need to make yourself an emperor first.”

When Jiang Bai saw Qi Sheng, the founder of the Assassin Heavenly Court in the original novel, a thought immediately came to his mind: this guy is perfect for being part of the enforcement team.

During the great war at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, there were defectors such as the Fallen Blood Phoenix and the Fearless Lion.

Within the Sacred Ruins dwells a Celestial King, whose lineage of Overlord Blood willingly embraces darkness.

Therefore, in the future, when the world of Shrouding the Heavens is restored to the original ancient realm and the Great Realm of the Heavens, and confronts the strange race, some people will inevitably choose to defect.

Cowards exist everywhere.

Qi Sheng, a bloodthirsty demon lurking in the darkness, is best suited to deal with these traitors.

To uphold justice in the darkness, to stand firm in one's territory, is to both stay true to one's principles and unleash one's desires.

"Therefore, our human race is vast and rich in resources, and we have all kinds of talented people."
