In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start

Chapter 132 The Beginningless Killing Array

"Boom!"

After traveling for several miles, the originally clear sky was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning, which struck the two men, causing them to emit black smoke from their bodies.

However, one of them possessed an innate sacred body and the other an ancient sacred body, making their physical bodies incredibly strong. Although they looked somewhat miserable, they were actually not injured.

"We didn't go to the wrong place, so is there something wrong with this array pattern? Why is it hitting us too?"

Yu Yi has obtained the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi. If he were to be killed by the killing formation set up by the Great Emperor Wushi, wouldn't people laugh their heads off if this got out?

The two crossed one black mountain after another and arrived at a void. This area did not have the Great Emperor's array patterns, but its aura was very mysterious.

This is a very open valley, nestled between several black mountains, with a lake in the middle that is as smooth as a mirror.

At this moment, the sunset had already dyed the horizon red, and the lake was also tinged with a golden hue.

However, at this moment, a humanoid creature with snow-white hair and pale skin, as bloodless as snow, emerged from the lake.

"This is an ancient corpse, which has been dead for at least tens of thousands of years. It should have become spiritual in recent years and probably has the strength of a half-step great power."

After Yu Yi finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently pointed at the ancient corpse. A divine light shot out from his fingertip, and the ancient corpse was hit by the divine light and instantly shattered into pieces.

But just as Yu Yi killed the ancient corpse, the lake surface suddenly rioted, and the sound of iron chains shaking came from beneath the lake, where there were terrifying creatures.

Yu Yi's eyes flashed as he looked into the lake. He saw three ancient corpses at the bottom of the lake, each possessing strength comparable to a half-step great power.

Beneath the lake lay a huge shadow, which turned out to be an iron sedan chair, its poles bound with iron chains, making it quite eerie and frightening.

"The sedan chair beneath the lake should belong to the Immortal Daoist, an avatar of the Immortal Emperor, and the four ancient corpses were probably servants who carried the sedan chair in their lifetimes."

Before the three ancient corpses could rush out, Yu Yi raised his hand again and lightly tapped, shooting out three divine rays. The divine rays passed through their bodies, and the three ancient corpses turned to ashes.

The two continued on their way. Since there were no array patterns on this section of the journey, it went relatively smoothly. Soon, they arrived at a black, broken mountain.

The black mountain peak was broken off, which was particularly striking, as if a huge creature had burst out of the mountain and split it open, creating this scene.

The two crossed one black mountain after another. As they went deeper, the power of the array patterns continued to increase, but they could barely hold on with their current strength.

"Rumble—"

Suddenly, a strange black wind swept in from the front, accompanied by a sound like a tsunami. The black wind uprooted many ancient trees.

It even hurled massive boulders high into the sky, causing them to swirl like mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.

What's chilling is that, in the eye of that strange black wind, there was a pair of cold and malevolent eyes staring intently at the two of them.

"town!"

Ye Fan summoned the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron to suppress the strange black wind. The strange black wind disappeared, and the eyes quickly went out, disappearing into the void without a trace.

A tuft of long black fur drifted down from the sky. With Ye Fan's strength, he only managed to cut off a tuft of black fur, without even seeing what the beast looked like.

"What the hell was that thing just now?"

Ye Fan's expression was solemn. His attack just now could have killed even a half-step Great Power. The monster in the black whirlwind was at least as strong as a Great Power.

"In the past, a supreme being was born on the Undying Mountain, which triggered a dark upheaval, and the entire universe was filled with rivers of blood."

"Until the Void Emperor was born, he used the Void Mirror to destroy the Undying Mountain Supreme, leaving only an arm that fell into the Undying Mountain."

"The monster in the black gust of wind just now must have been that arm that had become sentient and taken human form—"

Yu Yi recalled a plot point from the original novel: the Sacred Cliff was cut from the Undying Mountain, and the arm followed it to the Sacred Cliff, eventually becoming spiritual and taking human form after many years.

However, it was just an arm after all. Even if it could be spiritualized and transformed, its strength was only comparable to a powerful being. Ye Fan could barely deal with it, so Yu Yi didn't take it seriously at all.

As they continued forward, the two passed through a valley and immediately felt an incredibly terrifying heat, as if they had jumped into a furnace.

The two quickly summoned the Yin-Yang Mirror and the All-Knowing Mother Qi Cauldron, each of the magical artifacts hovering above its owner's head to withstand the terrifying high temperature.

A tall, black peak blocked the way. It was the same height as the other mountains, but much wider, like a black wall lying there.

On this black peak, there are many ancient caves that spew out flames, and the intense heat emanating from them is unbearable even from a distance.

"True Solar Fire, one of the most terrifying divine fires in the world. It's a pity that these flames contain too little True Solar Fire, but they are still extremely rare."

The True Fire of the Sun is the ultimate Yang fire, and it is the most supreme divine fire in any world.

"Senior, let's take a detour! If we disturb that three-legged golden crow, we'll be in big trouble—"

The three-legged golden crow that Ye Fan mentioned was a creature born from the true fire of the sun, but it only resembled it in appearance and was not a real three-legged golden crow.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow is a mythical creature, comparable to the True Dragon, the Divine Phoenix, and the Qilin. It is impossible for such a creature to have been born at Sacred Cliff.

Yu Yi nodded upon hearing this. Although he had already broken through to the Great Power level and entered the Eight Forbidden Domains, the gap between him and a Half-Saint was still very large.

In the original story, the three-legged golden crow was able to fight the old madman and escape injured, which shows that its strength is at least comparable to the peak of the Dao-Slaying stage, which is equivalent to a half-saint.

The fifty-odd black peaks, though covering a vast area, were not insurmountable. The two crossed one mountain after another and finally reached the deepest part of the Sacred Cliff.

The towering mountain at the center of the sacred cliff is dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood, and you can even smell a trace of blood.

"Investiture of the Gods!"

On the massive, pitch-black mountain, there is an ancient golden plaque, sealed on the mountainside, flowing with mysterious energy and exuding a vast and oppressive aura.

That golden ancient list, called the Investiture of the Gods, is a sacred sealing artifact crafted by the Great Emperor Wushi, equivalent to the Great Emperor Wushi placing one of his hands on this place.

The two began climbing the mountain. The area was covered with array patterns, so they were extremely careful and dared not take a wrong step. If they triggered the killing array, they would definitely die without a burial place.

In short, if you take a wrong step on this mountain and trigger the Wushi Killing Array, it's equivalent to being slapped in the face by the Wushi Emperor.

What kind of strength does the Great Emperor Wushi possess? Let alone them, even if a quasi-emperor came, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single slap from the Great Emperor Wushi; they would be instantly reduced to ashes!

Fortunately, Yu Yi obtained the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi and shared it with Ye Fan. The two were very familiar with the Wushi Killing Formation and made it to the top of the mountain without any major incidents.
