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

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

A single bolt of lightning was enough to leave a powerful immortal in a sorry state, almost turning him into an acquaintance.

If they go up there, who dares to bet that Sha Xiao might act impulsively and concentrate his firepower to take one of them away?

Even though Elder Ji Lan had just made a harsh statement and wished she could skin Sha Xiao alive and eat him alive, she didn't move.

The treasures left behind by the illusory image of the Azure Emperor have been proven to be truly powerful.

They were all from powerful and influential groups, and had only glimpsed the treatment of those at the level of imperial princes from fragments of ancient texts.

Who knows if Sha Xiao still has any passive life-saving treasures left behind by the Azure Emperor's phantom, treasures that even Sha Xiao himself is unaware of?

For example, the Azure Emperor's Heart that is currently beating inside that kid's body?

Or perhaps, the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon that wasn't left to the so-called Azure Emperor's bloodline back then?

Although they weren't observing each other, everyone knew that no one wanted to be the vanguard for the king.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang could not resist the temptation of the Five-Colored Gu and made a ruthless move.

That's how cultivators in the world of "Covering the Sky" are; as long as it's related to their own Great Dao, they'll risk anything, even if it's just a potential danger.

Even if it's the Emperor himself, as long as you don't show any power, he'll still dare to pounce and take a bite!

In an instant, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang shone brightly.

He activated the Holy Light spell to obscure the consciousness and five senses of all cultivators below the Sendai level.

Even the other elders were interrupted for a second.

In high-level combat, this one second could be the fatal blow!

Clearly, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang has taken a stand for his future.

With his left hand he held the Heaven-Turning Seal, and with his right hand he pulled a chain of divine patterns that had somehow filled the void, locking Sha Xiao in every direction he tried to escape from. At the same time, he also laid out Dao patterns that deceived heaven and earth.

With a replica of the black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns on his head, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang arrived in front of Sha Xiao in the blink of an eye, as if he really wanted to kill him before he could react!

As the only powerful cultivator at the second level among those present, his first move was a decisive, ruthless attack that left no room for error.

"No, Lord Yaoguang!"

The Supreme Elder of Yaochi exclaimed in surprise the moment he recovered from the Holy Light Spell.

"Yao Guang, you dare?"

The dignified man who had been hiding couldn't help but show himself, activating a divine furnace to crash into Yao Guang.

Everyone was thinking about how to use up all the chances of Sha Xiao using his treasures before capturing him alive.

After all, the phenomenon of rejuvenation and the reversal of life's cycle is extremely rare, occurring only once every ten thousand years.

If we could capture it and study it carefully, it might become the key to some important person living out a second life.

Even if that doesn't work, consuming that body that has been reshaped by the Azure Emperor's heart might prolong my life!

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that he was chosen by both the Sacred Heart left by the Azure Emperor for the demon race and the Azure Emperor's illusory image suggests that he possesses a great secret.

None of them expected that the Holy Lord of Yaoguang would be so ruthless, intending to reduce Sha Xiao to ashes.

The Azure Emperor's trump card is right there; aren't you afraid of dying?

If you're going to kill someone, don't do it here!

What if the Great Emperor leaves behind an indiscriminate attack? Wouldn't we all die with him?

"You brat, die!"

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang's voice was cold and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

In his view, a bird in the hand is worth more than a thousand birds in the forest.

What's the point of prolonging life or the secrets of the Azure Emperor? Nothing is as important as raising his own cultivation level.

If he obtains that five-colored stone, he will surely be able to break through to the third level of immortality or even become a saint.

By then, he will surely be able to cleanse himself of the filth, and may even be able to glimpse the secrets of the Azure Emperor's bloodline with the help of Sha Xiao.

In addition, with the method of changing bloodlines passed down by the Azure Emperor, it's not impossible for him to become a descendant of the Azure Emperor.

When he comes to power, wielding the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, who in this world will be able to subdue him?

Why wait for that brat in the Holy Land to steal my title of Holy Lord of Yao Guang?

Why not let him become the Holy Emperor of Yao Guang himself!

Seeing that all of Sha Xiao's aura was firmly fixed by the replica of the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, rendering him unable to move and only able to helplessly sense Sha Xiao approaching on light.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang cheered inwardly for his bold intuition.

Indeed, he was the chosen one, destined to be an emperor.

He's been a seasoned veteran for so many years, how could he not have thought of what the other elders wanted to think of?

But he's willing to gamble!

He was betting that the Great Emperor's phantom was bound to the ancient palace and that it couldn't leave behind any powerful means.

As for the Azure Emperor's Weapon, while the Yao Guang Holy Land may not know much else, their research on imperial weapons is second to none.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang knew very well that the weapons left behind by the Great Emperor were mostly for future generations to use to protect them at crucial moments.

Moreover, the resources required for an imperial weapon to forcibly revive on its own are not insignificant.

As long as I don't kill Sha Xiao, the Azure Emperor's soldiers won't be able to awaken so easily.

There's no other way; apart from the Yao Guang Holy Land, which extreme power doesn't have an Emperor's Scripture?

The entire reliance of the Yao Guang Holy Land rests on the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, an imperial weapon. What else can they do but study it?

At the critical moment, the multicolored Gu spontaneously activated.

With a "whoosh," it flapped its wings and blocked Sha Xiao's path.

The multicolored Gu hissed, its shell runes swirling on its back, and the four bolts of lightning surrounding it erupted completely.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was instantly filled with five-colored lightning, forcing the Holy Lord of Yao Guang to retreat.

"Alive?"

Immediately, everyone was shocked to see the beetle, whose light had dimmed somewhat, but which was still flying around Sha Xiao.

Although it only lasted for a moment, everyone could feel it.

The aura emanating from that little insect was not like that of a weapon; it was the aura of life.

Moreover, it is a new life that has just been born.

Sha Xiao finally came to her senses, a wave of fear washing over her.

Gu cultivators tend to favor magicians, and what they fear most are reckless and ruthless individuals like the Holy Master of Yaoguang who disregard all consequences.

Still feeling a bit scared, he touched the colorful Gu surrounding him with satisfaction.

His choice of Dao Tribulation Gold from among seven or eight types of imperial weapon materials was well worth it.

The essence of the Dao Tribulation Gold lies in its ability to mimic calamities and in its ever-growing vitality.

Through his bold methods and with the help of the Azure Emperor's illusory figure, he actually succeeded in activating the profound meaning of the Dao Tribulation Gold.

Now, the colorful Gu is both a Gu worm and a living being.

They can gradually develop their own wisdom, and even refine their own Gu by consuming the necessary divine materials.

Once it grows a bit more, it wouldn't be so bad to call it a colorful wild beast!

This is a groundbreaking breakthrough by Sha Xiao in the art of Gu refining, a unique Gu refining method characteristic of the novel "Covering the Sky".

"My God, is he... turning stones into spirits?"

The Yaochi Elder looked at the colorful Gu flying around in front of Sha Xiao with burning eyes.

In that instant, a thought flashed through her mind.

She thought she knew why the Azure Emperor had left his imperial weapon and his imperial heart to this ordinary young man.

That ancient and unparalleled demon emperor must have foreseen the birth of this young man and his unique weapon-refining techniques before his death.

If Sha Xiao can continue his research, until one day he is able to apply this technique to Imperial Weapons...

With the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon bearing the Dao Fruit of the Great Emperor, plus the Emperor's Heart, wouldn't the Azure Emperor be resurrected?!

"Did the Azure Emperor see a glimpse of the future? That's why he gambled the Rebirth Technique on the future, on him."

Shocked, the Supreme Elder of Yaochi subconsciously uttered his own guess.

This sentence was like a key, instantly unlocking the doubts that had been troubling the minds of these powerful figures.

What could possibly make a great emperor abandon his descendants and his dojo, handing over his imperial weapon to an outsider?

Rebirth!

Only rebirth!
