In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

The scaly lion's eyes were gouged out, and all its scales were shattered.

His limbs were twisted and turned, completely unable to move, and he could only writhe on the ground, begging for mercy.

"At this very moment? You must be joking!"

The Green Ox Demon sneered and stomped its hooves hard on the Scaled Lion.

"Thump!"

A sound like a drum being shattered by a drumstick rang out, and large sections of bricks and tiles, along with the heart of the scaled lion, were shattered into fragments.

A powerful demon at the second level of the Dao Palace lost his life in an instant.

Having killed his opponent, the Green Ox Demon could no longer hold on and quickly transformed into human form to reduce his energy consumption.

"Ahem!"

The horned demon coughed up blood, but his face was full of joy.

The Scaled Lion had gone further than him in the exploration of bloodlines. With the other's corpse, the Bull Horned Demon was confident that he had taken a big step forward on the path to becoming a Qilin.

Suddenly, a green light flew out from the ruins shattered during their battle, silently rushing towards the horned demon from behind.

The green light entered the body of the bull-horned demon, and in the blink of an eye, dense demonic runes began to spread from its chest to both ends.

"What the hell is this? Get out! Get out!"

The horned demon pounded its head with all its might, but it was all in vain.

In no time, the bull-horned demon's eyes lost their light.

When it opened its eyes again, they shimmered with an eerie green light, and a mysterious demonic script appeared on its forehead.

"Emperor Ancestor..."

Ignoring the corpses on the ground, it strode quickly to the front of the ancient temple.

Gazing at the Azure Emperor's retreating figure, its voice trembled as it placed its hands on the ancient palace door.

"Fool, the ancient temple's protective barrier isn't open, no one can..."

Golden Hawk, who had been observing the situation closely, was halfway through his taunt when he suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.

No one knows what method the Great Demon of the Bull Horn used, but after a series of fluctuations, a small hole was opened in the barrier at the entrance of the main hall.

The horned demon glanced back at the crowd and pushed the palace door open a crack.

"Thump!"

That dull yet powerful sound was even more terrifying.

The expressions of everyone present changed, and they felt a pain in their hearts.

After seeing the photograph, everyone knew that it was the beating heart left behind by the Demon Emperor.

The fact that it still possesses such power after so many years makes one wonder what it means to be so imposing.

Without the slightest hesitation, the horned demon went straight inside.

"Damn it! It beat me to it!"

The golden hawk suddenly flapped its wings with all its might, sending Master Li tumbling head over heels.

With a flap of her wings, she shot straight into the gap in the barrier like a golden light.

"Walk!"

In the blink of an eye, all the great demons stopped fighting and rushed towards the magnificent ancient palace.

Super ferocious birds and beasts like Zapdos also took to the air and rushed towards the ancient temple.

-----------------

Beside an unremarkable, long-overlooked earthen hill, an aged voice echoed from the void.

"Miss, our ancestor has lost his physical body; he can't fight against so many opponents. Should we go in and help him?"

"The Emperor's great love left behind such a precious legacy; what if..."

A cool, clear voice calmly said:

"No, just stick to the plan. The more you do, the more traces you leave behind."

"At that time, even if there are Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns, those Heavenly Mystery Masters will be able to deduce them."

"We've been preparing to the limit for years. Now, all we have to do is wait."

Soon, the sounds of battle could be heard from inside the ancient hall.

The ancient palace began to shake, and the roars of demonic beasts and the angry shouts of the elders of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven rose and fell.

"Thump," "thump," "thump"...

The Demon Emperor's heartbeat grew faster and faster.

Before long, only a small portion of the super-fierce birds and beasts that had charged in at the beginning swayed and retreated.

Their condition, already compromised from the fierce battles, was unimaginably poor.

Some barely managed to crawl out by sheer willpower.

Some even died right at the palace gate, just one step away from survival.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who were collecting the scaled lion's corpse, were also shocked.

This is a heartbeat that has already been processed by the Azure Emperor, and it is already so terrifying. I wonder how much power it would have had when he was alive.

"grumble--"

Zapdos coughed up blood, its golden feathers scorched and broken in patches.

It flipped one wing 180 degrees, struggled to flap its single wing, and wobbled as it flew out of the ancient palace.

Zapdos coughed up blood and looked around, trying to find a safe place to rest.

Suddenly, it saw the carcass of the scaled lion below.

Suddenly, it was like a traveler who had lost his way in the desert and found an oasis.

With a long, relieved cry, Zapdos glided laboriously toward Ye Fan.

"Damn, they're coming for us? Yezi, should we give way or...?"

Pang Bo pressed down heavily with his right hand, his meaning becoming clear.

"Take it down!"

Without a second's hesitation, Ye Fan said firmly.

"Rumble—"

The words had barely left his mouth when Zapdos crashed to the ground like a plane that had just crashed.

After hitting the ground, it slid for a while, pushing the rubble along the way up to cover itself.

"what?"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both stunned for a moment.

They haven't even put up their fight yet, and you've already fallen down. Are you trying to scam me?

"Is he really dead?"

Pang Bo was somewhat skeptical.

He picked up a stone and smashed several bloody holes in the Zapdos, but it still didn't budge.

The two exchanged a glance, and Pang Bo, who could practically have several lives thanks to his transformation technique, took the initiative to go first.

Pangbo shook Zapdos and flipped it over.

Suddenly, a different golden glint appeared in a patch of golden feathers.

"Whoa, it's really dead. Leaf, there's treasure here!"

Pang Bo greeted Ye Fan with delight.

The two huddled together and, after parting the feathers, discovered that the golden light was emanating from Zapdos's wound.

The two men opened their wounds, and dazzling beams of light shot out, so bright they could barely open their eyes.

Ye Fan reached out and took something out; a thin gold page appeared before them, heavier than metal.

Upon closer inspection, it is covered with countless ancient characters.

Each ancient character shines like a star, dazzling and radiant.

Did you really find something good?

They both swallowed hard. Ye Fan beckoned with his finger and whispered:

"Old Sha, come quick! Looks like we've found a big one!"

Less than two seconds later, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and even the giant Zapdos disappeared from everyone's subconscious.

"They're here."

Sha Xiao held the emerald green leaf, looking at the golden page that Zapdos hid in its chest, his face terribly gloomy.

Without Ye Fan and the others saying anything, Sha Xiao already knew what this was—the Daoist scripture of the Supreme Lord of Morality.

It's still the original scroll of Lun Hai from countless millions of years ago!

In the original work, Ye Fan was able to lay a solid foundation in the Wheel Sea Realm, and the Daoist scriptures played an indelible and significant role in this.

Obtaining the Daoist scriptures is naturally a joyful thing.

The problem is that, because of Sha Xiao's intervention, all the times and places have changed.

The old ghost that was supposed to possess Pang Bo was avoided, and Ye Fan and the others didn't go looking for it.

How did this thing still manage to get in front of them like this?!
