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

"Bang bang bang—"

The sacred artifact that had been blocking Sha Xiao's way shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of scrap metal in an instant.

Seeing this power, Sha Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and he immediately regretted his actions.

Not a buddy?

If you have such power, how were you exploited by Ye Fan in the original story, and how did you manage to be able to manipulate anyone?

Why didn't you say so earlier? Why would I have come in here searching for some imperial weapon? Wouldn't it have been better to just crush the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, get rich, and run away?

The azure divine blood, flowing like a mighty river, circulated along the blood vessels and repaired the shattered heart and ribs upon its return.

Qingdi Xin didn't linger for even a second before diving back into the void.

As if feeling it had lost out, it went straight for the aging Immortal Gu that was huddled in the corner relaxing, and with a single leap, it absorbed half of the Dao marks on the Immortal Gu's body.

The Decrepit Immortal Gu immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, lying there half-dead and limp.

"no!"

Sha Xiao couldn't sit still any longer. Half a Celestial Gu in one go? Is your blood made of gold?

Why didn't you speak up when Ye Fan was exploiting you? Are you discriminating against him?

Despite his shock, he managed to grab the ball of light thanks to the power of the Azure Emperor's Heart.

Ignoring what the divine materials inside were, Sha Xiao quickly took out the various colored treasures that Xiao Qing had just collected.

He carefully peeled off the thin, translucent layer of precious light and discovered that inside was a piece of primordial Dao Tribulation Gold that had not been refined.

Sha Xiao casually tossed it to Xiao Qing to keep, then got down to business.

He first crushed a piece of pure source the size of a human head, turning the solid source into source liquid.

Next, he used his own life essence to ignite a Dao fire within the source liquid.

The flames in the source liquid were affected by the Azure Emperor's essence that was now overflowing in Sha Xiao's body, which was about to explode, and they also revealed a little bit of blue color in addition to the blood red color.

The two colors combine and, when combined with the flowing pure liquid, refract dozens of different colors.

Sha Xiao carefully controlled the flow of the source liquid until she found a point where only one color could be seen from any angle, and then decisively threw all the precious light into it.

"Xiaoqing, I can't be distracted from now on, I'm leaving everything to you."

Seeing that the refining process was about to enter a crucial stage, Sha Xiaochao gave Xiao Qing some instructions.

"Hiss hiss hiss."

Seeing this, Xiaoqing's playful expression vanished, and she nodded seriously.

Sha Xiao took a deep breath, expelling the increasingly close sounds of explosions, shouts, and distracting thoughts from her mind.

The materials and techniques he was going to use to refine the Gu worms this time were all improvised by him.

Although it incorporated many of the two Venerable Ones' experience in refining Gu, the core part, the handling of the materials for the "Covering the Sky" Gu, was completely unreferenced.

He had to try it all himself; it was the first time he had ever walked without crutches.

Moreover, the thunderous sounds of battle outside were telling him that if he didn't want to reveal the trump card he had prepared for the Emperor, he had to succeed in one fell swoop!

"Regardless of circumstances, our intentions remain the same!"

He recited the original heart of the Great Love Immortal Venerable from five hundred years ago, recalling his countless experiences of traversing the wilderness of failure to find shortcuts to success.

Sha Xiao gradually poured all her mind and every thought into the source liquid in front of her.

Every experience of refining Gu since he came into this world resurfaced in his mind.

Regardless of whether it was after opening the void orifice, the first time the white pig gu was refined in the slaughterhouse using true essence.

It was during a summer vacation in college that I traveled 20,000 miles with Ye Fan and obtained the second-stage Nostalgia Gu for the first time by condensing Dao traces.

Or perhaps it was the experience of working day and night after arriving in Beidou, frantically refining Gu in the Qingmaoshan Secret Realm, and exploring the materials of the Shrouding the Heavens World that gradually seeped into his actions.

Gradually, he became dissatisfied with the methods of the two immortals, Daotian and Da'ai.

He mobilized his newly created sea of ​​suffering, connecting it with his divine power.

Use the wheel of life to crush the materials, and use the sea of ​​bitterness to dilute them.

At this point, Sha Xiao was no longer like an apprentice learning to walk in Handan by following the memories of the Great Love Immortal Venerable, nor was he a robot that completely replicated the methods of the Heavenly Stealing Demon Venerable when refining Gu.

His technique became increasingly fluid and unpretentious, exuding a unique charm of his own.

At the same time, the Azure Emperor's Heart within his body beat rhythmically, and drops of bright red essence blood were squeezed out on its own.

"Knock knock"

"Knock knock"

The ceaseless beating of his heart exuded a strange charm, enveloping a three-meter radius around Sha Xiao, causing all the weapons that were supposed to be heading this way to silently change direction.

Gradually, these weapons unknowingly began to revolve around Sha Xiao, protecting him amidst the myriad swords.

Looking up at Sha Xiao, whose mind was focused and who had attained enlightenment, Xiao Qing remained motionless, her eyes fixed on him.

As Sha Xiao frowned during his calculations, divine light descended behind him and dissolved, providing him with energy.

With a wave of his hand, countless divine materials flew over, allowing Sha Xiao to use them at will.

When he stops thinking, another batch of extraordinary talents will inexplicably appear.

Sometimes it's rotten silt, sometimes it's a chaotic treasure that even the greatest emperor would covet.

Sometimes Sha Xiao would suddenly realize and nod, taking the worthless silt; other times he would find the divine materials that the Great Emperor could hardly find an eyesore and knock away the unwanted divine materials.

As Xiaoqing watched Sha Xiao's every move, she suddenly felt as if someone was having a discussion and exploration with him out of thin air.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing saw something clearly.

Her intuition was right; those divine materials were indeed summoned by a figure!

Shh—, the phantom that had appeared out of nowhere turned around and smiled at Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing looked at that figure and trembled uncontrollably.

Her primal bloodline was already boiling, and memories of that man flooded her mind.

A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky; the owner of this tomb is the most recent demon emperor—Emperor Wanqing.

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

Meanwhile, outside the ancient temple.

The many Supreme Elders who were comprehending the illusory image of the Azure Emperor suddenly all woke up.

Watching the demon emperor's projection disappear before their eyes, and hearing the explosions coming one after another from inside the hall, they were filled with hatred.

Especially the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, who almost suffered a heart attack.

This ancient palace is located in the Southern Region, within the territory of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

As long as this phantom exists, they might be able to find a genius who can comprehend the Demon Emperor Scripture. For their holy land, which has never produced a Great Emperor, this would be a chance to change their fate!

What the hell were the people below doing?

We've already said we should try our best to preserve the integrity of the ancient temple, so why are there still so many sounds of fighting coming from inside?

Look, even the Azure Emperor's phantom has disappeared. What a huge loss that is!

A group of Dao Palace cultivators who have transformed into dragons can easily capture three minor cultivators from the Bitter Sea realm. The advantage is clearly in my hands.

How did things turn out so ugly?

I told you to catch a pig, but you ended up fighting with it?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I seem to sense the pulse of heaven and earth. I wonder if any of you feel the same?"

The Supreme Elder of Yaochi Holy Land frowned and asked in confusion.

"This feeling is unmistakable; a rare treasure is about to appear in the world."

The aged imperial figure's voice was like muffled thunder, and from his direction came the clanging sound of armor clashing.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang pursed his lips and remained silent, his body surrounded by 108 halos that flickered slightly.

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family was like a phantom, shifting between reality and illusion.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, countless dark clouds appeared above the hall, and five-colored lightning flashed in the clouds.

"Judging from this, he is at least a powerful figure in Sendai."

A kind-looking middle-aged man, whose voice I'd never heard of before, spoke up from the other side.

"boom!!!"

Five-colored lightning coalesced into a dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it slashed down towards the main hall.

"Thump!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the main hall, which had just withstood the angry attack of the Holy Lord Yao Guang without even a mark, was actually pierced through the top center by this lightning bolt!

???

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang looked at the ancient palace with a completely bewildered expression.

No, you weren't like this just now!
