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

The blinding beam of light eventually dissipated, and Sha Xiao stood tall in the sky with his hands behind his back, while the colorful Gu worms circled around him listlessly.

"Did he cause the calamity? Did he deceive Lingxu Cave Heaven from the very beginning?"

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang was shocked and frightened, but hesitated to unleash the attack he had been preparing for.

He fears!

He feared that the illusory figure of the Azure Emperor had not truly vanished, and that the Azure Emperor's illusory figure had left some kind of life-saving contingency plan for this unknown cultivator.

"No, he doesn't have any dragon aura. How could he possibly have entered the Immortal Ascension Tribulation?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, quickly made up his mind, and said with absolute certainty.

"Yes, it wasn't him. It was the thing in his hands, that treasure crafted by the Great Emperor himself!"

The Supreme Elder of Yaochi finally stepped out of the carriage, his eyes fixed intently on the five-colored sphere of light in front of Sha Xiao.

From a distance, the thing that radiates five-colored light and is wrapped in auspicious five-colored clouds looks like a ladybug.

The tiny Gu worm's main body is a blend of the essence of nine kinds of nine-colored divine jade, its back shell is made of Dao Tribulation Gold, its eyes are made of the true essence of the sun, and its limbs are made of Chaos Stone.

As for the rest of the divine materials, they could only be used as patterns or embellishments on the body.

Upon seeing that tiny Gu worm, a thought inexplicably flashed through everyone's mind:

That Gu worm is probably the most magnificent and precious treasure in the world!

Although I don't know why the colorful light emitted by that little insect that pierced through the heavens and earth had no effect other than coating everyone with a layer of light that quickly dissipated.

However, no one doubts the preciousness of something crafted by an emperor.

That little insect must have some special function, which is why the Great Emperor left his divine thoughts to complete it even after ten thousand years.

Even if what made the move was just a phantom of an emperor whose identity was uncertain!

Moreover, even just the materials used to make the Gu worms are enough to make people drool just by looking at them.

Whether it's the legendary Nine Heavens Divine Jade that combines nine colors, the Dao Tribulation Gold that is known as the exclusive divine material of the Great Emperor, or the Chaos Stone that even the Great Emperor rarely sees.

Even a single appearance of such a treasure is enough to alarm those old fogies who would risk their remaining lifespan to fight for it.

What's more, the Great Emperor actually refined them into a mysterious treasure.

Everyone present dared to say that if they obtained that secret treasure, they would not hesitate to shatter the Dao artifacts they had nurtured their entire lives and turn that little beetle into their own Dao-proving artifact.

There was no room for hesitation; it was just eight words.

Emperor Certification, Quality Guaranteed!

"Young man, hand over the secret treasure and the Emperor's Heart, and the Ji family will guarantee your survival."

Without the slightest disturbance, Ji Lan, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family, directly crossed space and arrived behind Sha Xiao.

He held a hazy mirror in his left hand and made a large hand seal in the air with his right, clearly intending to capture Sha Xiao first.

Whether it's a special person or a secret treasure that can be used as a weapon to prove one's path, he wants them all!

As if foreseeing the future, Sha Xiao turned around precisely at the same time Ji Lan appeared.

Looking at Ji Lan, whose pupils had shrunk to pinpoints and whose face was filled with disbelief, Sha Xiao smiled and pointed to the ripples around Ji Lan that were invisible to ordinary people:

"It's too obvious. With such a low level of Void Technique, are you really the Supreme Elder of the Ji Family?"

"Crackling sound—"

Five-colored lightning flashed, and the auspicious five-colored clouds surrounding Sha Xiao's five-colored insects instantly shrank by one-fifth.

This was one of the backup plans that Sha Xiao had prepared when he was refining the Gu.

When choosing the five lights, he specifically rejected the Five Elements Divine Light proposed by the Azure Emperor's illusory image.

Instead, through careful consideration, he deliberately chose a unique, uncharted path.

Among these five lights, the lightning light from the golden mysteries of the Dao Tribulation is one of them.

Sha Xiao's goal was to use the Five-Colored Gu as the core to create a five-turn light path killing move—Eternal Lightning—as the tribulation clouds were about to end.

With the power of the Immortal Gu and the Golden Mystery of the Tribulation, his killing move can forcibly absorb the lightning and even part of the tribulation clouds.

Then releasing it at such a crucial moment could have a miraculous effect.

"Crackling sound—"

A five-colored bolt of lightning flashed from the clouds and flew towards Ji Lan; it was none other than the Five Elements Divine Lightning that had served as the tribulation lightning earlier.

"Five-Colored Divine Thunder—!"

Ji Lan's face drained of color, her buttocks clenched, and her vocal cords tensed as she uttered a coloratura soprano.

When he broke through to the first level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, he barely managed to do so thanks to a powerful magic weapon provided by his family. And that was just ordinary Five Elements Thunder.

He was nearly killed by a single ordinary golden lightning bolt, which had been weakened by a powerful king-level magic weapon. How could he possibly survive a hit from the five-colored divine lightning?

As the five-colored divine lightning was about to strike her, the faces of the Ji family elders, who were many times more talented than her but had all perished in the heavenly tribulation, surged in Ji Lan's mind.

In an instant, he frantically fled into the void as if he were a madman.

Virtual wall, a thin line separating them, void teleportation, a giant handprint in the void, divine light in the void, a void-splitting slash...

In an instant, Ji Lan unleashed all the knowledge she had acquired in her life, using every trick in the Great Void Technique she had ever learned, even the little tricks she had used as a child.

But all of this is meaningless. The moment he was locked onto by the heavenly tribulation lightning at such close range, his fate was already sealed.

Just as Jilan's piercing scream reached everyone's ears, lightning struck him.

Five-colored lightning pierced through the void, breaking through the three-foot-thick layer of divine power surrounding him.

While tearing apart his Saint Lord-level precious robes and armor, they mercilessly gave him a full-body massage.

"Awoooo ...

"Click—"

The replica Void Mirror above Ji Lan's head shone brightly, and the gray light swept across, neutralizing the lightning and narrowly saving his life.

However, this treasure also cracked open instantly, with five or six holes almost running through the back of the mirror.

"Ahhhhh—"

Lightning-struck patterns covered Ji Lan's entire body, and every inch of his skin and flesh was torn open.

His once elegant and ethereal white hair was now charred black, curly, and standing upright.

Judging from the way the monsters below were rolling their throats, Ji Lan's body was already fully matured.

"Agh—you brat! How dare you insult the Ji family! Today, no one can save you! I said it!"

Overwhelmed with shame, Ji Lan looked down at the crimson handle, her eyes turning bloodshot as tears streamed down her face.

"Why--"

The Supreme Elder of Yaochi closed his eyes early on, so as not to dirty them.

The old man was shrewd and clever, and the desiccated old man of the dynasty was not frightened at all.

Instead, he keenly noticed that one-fifth of the clouds on the secret treasure in front of Sha Xiao had disappeared.

"It's all a bluff. This kid has at most four more attacks to his name."

The cunning old man immediately proclaimed his judgment, his words carrying a faint, mournful cry of a dying dragon, which stirred a restless heat within the listener.

Ha, no wonder it's called "Covering the Sky".

No one is useless; every high-level cultivator has risen through blood and fire.

If even the slightest detail or flaw appears, it will definitely be discovered.

Sha Xiao admired him inwardly, yet laughed loudly without any fear:

"Senior has excellent eyesight, but I wonder if anyone would be willing to come forward and test how many more heavenly lightning bolts are left for someone else?"
