I am asking the Ancestor to ascend to heaven in the world of "Covering the Sky".

"what……"

Screams rang out.

This is a great saint of the demon race.

He was in a terrible predicament; covered in blood, he was grazed by a wisp of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi, and his entire lower body exploded.

Then the upper body followed suit, turning into a blood mist, its form and spirit utterly destroyed.

This sight was terrifying, even the Great Sage would be horrified.

The visual impact of seeing a renowned Great Sage-level expert perish right before their eyes in an instant was overwhelming.

"Holy crap! How could this happen?!"

The only remaining Great Sage Bull Demon King of the demon race, with an extremely ugly expression, shouted.

Of all the demon race members, only these two Great Saints were fortunate enough to break into the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels and obtain extraordinary fortune.

The result was such a perilous ordeal. The legendary Immortal Execution Emperor Sword was right in front of them, but they were unable to obtain it. Instead, they were killed by the four dark red Emperor Swords. It was truly frustrating.

"This shouldn't be the case. The power of these four imperial swords is too strong. Even with the resurrection of our clan's supreme imperial weapon, the divine being, they can't suppress them head-on?"

The Great Sage of the Light Clan had a solemn expression, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

During his first attack, he was too careless and tried to break the seal of the Heavenly Venerable Immortal Spring by himself, attempting to seize four imperial swords at once. He was almost killed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi.

This time he learned his lesson and knew how to leverage the power of all the Great Saints and the young Supreme Beings present, bringing together their strength to revive the Divine Refining Pot, an imperial weapon, to a very high level. Even the deities within the imperial weapon awakened.

Despite all the favorable conditions, they still returned empty-handed.

This is too bizarre and defies common sense. The extreme power unleashed by the four imperial swords is terrifying, as if they were truly controlled by an ancient celestial being, and are unstoppable.

Above the heavens, the power of the ultimate path spread. The Refining God Pot and the four Emperor Swords were locked in a fierce standoff. Around them, the star field collapsed, and many large stars were knocked down and crashed into the black ocean. The entire star field was shaking.

"Look! Above the four killing swords, there seems to be an ancient diagram manifesting. The killing intent is terrifying and terrifying!"

Inside the Divine Refining Pot's Emperor Light Energy, the human protector exclaimed in surprise, having been the first to notice this.

Subsequently, the other Great Saint-level experts also realized what was happening and showed expressions of surprise.

"The array diagram above the four imperial swords—I understand now. It must be the legendary Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram. It belongs to the mythological era and was personally crafted by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. It is innately integrated with the imperial swords and can unleash the full power of the four imperial swords."

"I never imagined that this Celestial Venerable Spring would not only nurture the Emperor Sword, but also seal this ancient array diagram within it. We're doomed now! The legendary Immortal Slaughtering Emperor Sword combined with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Diagram is tantamount to the Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure's true body residing here, making us invincible!"

The Great Sage wailed, his face filled with despair. Faced with such a powerful and heaven-defying combination of imperial swords, he no longer had any hope of survival, and he didn't even have the thought of fighting anymore.

"Fellow Daoists, do not panic. The Immortal Slaughtering Emperor Sword is compatible with the array diagram. Although it is incomparably powerful, fortunately, there are only four Emperor Swords under the array diagram at this moment. The last one is still missing, which is why the power of the ancient Heavenly Venerable Emperor Sword cannot be brought to its peak. This is our opportunity."

"Once we get through this most difficult period, the power of the Emperor Sword and the array diagram deep within the Immortal Spring will naturally weaken. We must persevere!"

The human protectors and the demon king, the Great Sage Bull Demon King, both spoke up.

In such a life-or-death crisis, where the lives of every cultivator are at stake, no one dares to relax in the slightest. If even a Great Saint-level expert feels despair, one can only imagine what it would be like for others.

At this point, no matter what, everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep fighting; there was no turning back.

"What are you doing hiding in the back, you brat who obtained the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Divine Technique? Get out here right now! Do you really think I didn't see you before?"

Just then, the Bull Demon King of the Demon Clan turned his gaze and roared at the young supreme camp behind him.

His roar startled all the cultivators, who had no idea what this renowned demon saint was up to.

"That ox... it actually sensed my presence, and even knew that I had received Lao Tzu's inheritance?"

At this moment, Yin Tiande, also in the camp of the young supreme, was equally alarmed.

He thought he had kept a low profile enough, but he didn't expect to be targeted by a Great Sage-level figure.

And it was a cow!

"Could he be..."

In a flash, a thought struck Yin Tiande, and he seemed to connect it to the origins of the Bull Demon King, making him even more shocked.

He never expected to encounter the ox described in ancient books in such a setting.

Swish!

Without hesitation, Yin Tiande, his thoughts racing, flashed to the front of the Great Sages and met the eyes of the Bull Demon King.

"Moo! Kid, you've finally come out. Stop talking nonsense and quickly bring out the Vajra Bracelet on your body. In this dangerous situation, only when the two Vajra Bracelets in our hands are combined can we unleash their maximum power."

Upon seeing Yin Tiande reveal himself, the Bull Demon King didn't waste any words and spoke directly in a deep, resonant voice.

Upon hearing this, Yin Tiande's pupils contracted, and he hesitated for a moment.

Although the Bull Demon King in front of him was very likely the mount of the supreme Daoist he knew, he was being forced to reveal his greatest hidden trump card with just one word.

"What are you dawdling for? If you keep hesitating, we're all doomed."

The Bull Demon King roared in annoyance.

Driven by a strong instinct, he sensed an even more terrifying danger was about to befall him.

In order to save its own life, it had no choice but to join forces with Yin Tiande, the contemporary inheritor of Lao Tzu.

Chapter 247 The Mastermind Appears

Sonorous!

In the end, Yin Tiande did as he was told. In a dazzling silver light, the Vajra Bracelet reappeared, bursting forth from his body with overwhelming power and energy, causing the heavens to rumble and tremble.

"That mysterious young supreme being actually possesses the same Vajra Bracelet magic weapon as the Bull Demon King. No, the former's Vajra Bracelet is even more terrifying, as if it seals some kind of unfathomable mysterious power inside."

Upon witnessing this scene, the other Great Sages and the young Supreme Beings were also shocked.

No one expected that the low-key and reserved Yin Tiande would have such a powerful background and connections, and that he was suspected of having some special connection with the Bull Demon King of the demon race.

But now is not the time to delve into these trivial matters. The Light Clan's Divine Refining Pot is still locked in a fierce standoff with the Immortal Execution Emperor Sword. Every second that is delayed now will increase everyone's safety.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Emperor Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram have ultimately miscalculated. It seems we can only resort to our last trump card."

In the sky above, under the guidance of the array diagram, the Immortal Execution Emperor Sword unleashed a surge of chaotic killing light, becoming increasingly terrifying. Even the Emperor Weapon Refining God Pot was forced to retreat steadily, shaking and trembling.

At this moment, the Great Sage of the Light Clan, who held the main control over the Imperial Weapon, had an even more gloomy expression, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"The situation is now clear. We are all caught in a stalemate between imperial weapons and have no time to spare. Fellow Daoists hiding in the shadows, it's time for you to make your move!"

At this moment, the Great Sage of the Light Clan suddenly raised his head and roared.

Despite the risk of severe injury, he wielded the Refining God Pot and unleashed his most ferocious attack once again.

This attack was not aimed at the Zhuxian Emperor Sword and the array diagram that rushed towards the sky, but rather at the depths of the Ancient Celestial Venerable's Immortal Spring, causing a series of great upheavals there.

Under the impact of such terrifying power, the four imperial swords in the sky became even more violent, and countless sword lights of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword cleaved down, shattering everything in their path; it was too terrifying.

With the destructive power of these two supreme ancient artifacts, a huge crack was torn open once again at the outer edge of the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels.

The runes of the ultimate barrier were all shattered, and there, a mysterious ancient domain was connected to the outside world, with the aura of void turbulence permeating the air.

“Great Sage of the Light Clan, this is… Damn it, this old guy still has a trump card up his sleeve. His previous actions were indeed just him using us.”

Upon noticing this sudden change, everyone's expression changed drastically, realizing that something terrible was about to happen.

"Old man, you're a traitor! At such a crucial moment, you still dare to betray us!"

Both the old stone man of the Holy Spirit Clan and the Great Sage Gray Dragon had very ugly expressions, and they let out low growls, filled with killing intent.

"Please don't misunderstand, everyone. I have no choice but to do this. The combined power of the Immortal Execution Emperor Sword and the array diagram is simply too great. Even if all of us join forces, we will find it difficult to break through. The only solution now is to draw in an even stronger external force."

"Rest assured, my previous promise to you still stands. I would never dare to harm your lives."

While wielding the Refining God Pot, the Great Sage of the Light Clan confronted the four Emperor Swords head-on.

At this moment, the Great Sages wanted to resist, but they were already under the control of the Divine Refining Pot Imperial Weapon. The Imperial Weapon continuously drained their original power, leaving them with no chance to make a move.

"Other players have also entered the fray one after another!"

Ji Lingyun, who had been lying low on the edge of the sky, murmured to himself.

Throughout the entire process, he witnessed the unfolding events without taking any action.

Now, the masterminds behind the scenes have finally been brought to light one by one.

He wasn't in a hurry; these guys were all here for the big fish.

"Boom!"

Within the ancient domain of the Heavenly Venerable Wheel Sea, in the sky above, the Divine Refining Pot and the four Immortal Execution Emperor Swords confronted each other. At their edge, under the sudden manipulation of the Great Sage of the Light Clan, a void rift was pierced, connecting to another mysterious ancient domain.

Deep within that vortex, a similarly earth-shattering and destructive wave was surging, resounding like thunder throughout the eight directions; such a wave was far too terrifying.

From the depths of the vortex, two figures burst forth. One of them possessed a powerful Great Saint-level aura and boundless blood energy, making him extremely terrifying.

However, the Great Sage stood respectfully behind a young man, looking extremely humble.

In contrast, the young man's form was hazy, enveloped in endless, dazzling golden light, as if he were wearing an immortal armor.

Even a Great Sage-level expert would be alarmed, as they would be completely unable to fathom his presence.

"What a battle for the ancient Celestial Venerable's relics! Such a lineup is truly rare throughout history."

"Today, we were able to break through the seal of this immortal spring barrier to such an extent, thanks to everyone's efforts. My secret planning has not been in vain. Thank you again."

After the young man arrived, he glanced at all the Great Saints and young Supremes present and said with an arrogant expression.
