Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

Without turning his head, he said in a low voice, "You handle this yourselves. I need to restrain the enemy's strongmen."

On the other side, Xia Jiuyou and Hei Huang were both stunned upon hearing this.

Then, Xia Jiuyou couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Black King, standing to the side, laughed so hard he collapsed to the ground, first pounding the ground with his two front paws, then rolling around on his back with all four paws in the air, laughing so hard he was shaking.

Even Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi's lips twitched slightly for a moment.

Where does this mere dragon-transformation-level little guy get the audacity to claim he can restrain both of them at the same time?

Upon seeing this, the old bandit frowned slightly and sneered inwardly: "Playing tricks, putting on airs, trying to lure me into making the first move and revealing my weakness."

He had fought for years, seen all sorts of cunning tactics, even those involving dual cultivation during battle. Did they really think they could provoke him with something like this? Wishful thinking.

Seeing that there was no hope of reinforcements, the remaining three were instead provoked and launched a fierce attack on Luo Heng from three directions.

The silver-glowing Bagua mirror turned slightly, shooting out a dazzling divine light that instantly reached Luo Heng.

Immediately afterwards, the ancient bronze lamp, its flames billowing, spun in the air, and a raging sea of ​​fire, illuminating half the sky, swept towards Luo Heng.

The last golden cauldron transformed into the size of a mountain and descended upon them!

Facing the extremely fast-moving mirror light, Luo Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he appeared dozens of feet away on a Dao pattern footprint he had left earlier.

The mirror-like light brushed past, piercing through several distant mountain peaks before crashing into the earth and creating a small mushroom cloud.

And as the overwhelming sea of ​​fire and the terrifying golden cauldron descended—

Within the originally illusory halo of holy light surrounding Luo Heng, three newly formed ancient characters quietly emerged, connecting with the three ancient characters that had been inscribed before.

In an instant, the halo of holy light solidified as if it were cast from celestial gold, and the hazy phantom of the small world within the halo seemed to become real.

The raging inferno engulfed Luo Heng, yet it failed to ignite even a single hair on his head.

As for the golden cauldron that pressed down like a mountain, it crashed onto the divine ring, unleashing a deafening roar like stars colliding.

A huge hole was actually punched through the bottom of the cauldron—Luo Heng didn't even move, using the defensive power of his divine ring to pierce through the golden cauldron!

The middle-aged man who controlled the golden cauldron immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his life force rapidly diminished.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man holding the Bagua mirror turned the mirror again, and another beam of light shot out.

This time, Luo Heng didn't even move a step.

The beam of light struck the Holy Light Ring, but it was completely absorbed by the ring without causing even the slightest ripple.

The Mirror Master's expression changed drastically. Knowing that he could not defeat the old man, he turned around and transformed into a divine rainbow, fleeing towards the old man.

The young man holding the lamp had already sensed something was wrong and flew towards the old man first.

Luo Heng did not stop him from doing so.

Firstly, given that his escape speed spanned several minor realms, it was indeed difficult for him to catch up with the two of them;

Secondly, with Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi in charge, he never thought these people could really escape.

So he slowly flew toward Gai Jiuyou, Wei Yi, and the old bandit who were still "standing in the same place" and whose expression was constantly changing.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder where I had seen the weapons these four people were using before.

……

Landing beside them, Luo Heng gently nudged the Black Emperor, who was still twitching on the ground, with his toe: "What's going on here?"

Black King covered his face with his two front paws, letting out "goose goose goose" laughter from between his claws, completely ignoring him. Annoyed by being kicked, he only flicked his tail and lashed out at Luo Heng.

Luo Heng was somewhat speechless, then turned to Xia Jiuyou on the other side: "What's going on? Who's that old man over there? Is he strong? Why does the atmosphere here feel... weird?"

Having calmed down, Xia Jiuyou rolled her eyes at him, leaned close to his ear, and quickly recounted the events of their "confrontation" in a low voice.

Luo Heng was speechless. He looked at the old man opposite him with a bit of admiration, thinking that he should let the old man leave with some dignity later - after all, this man had "restrained" a saint and an unorthodox enlightened being by his own strength.

With that thought in mind, he took a step forward.

Xia Jiuyou was startled and quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Are you crazy? The opponent is a Dragon Transformation Stage 1! You're only at the Other Shore Realm now. Even if you really have the power of the Eight Forbidden Realms, you can at most fight against the Fourth Heaven of the Third Heaven. And do you even have the power of the Eight Forbidden Realms?"

Luo Heng curled his lip in disdain and forcefully pulled his sleeve back: "So what if it's the Eight Prohibitions? I have all eighteen prohibitions."

After saying that, he walked straight toward the old man.

Xia Jiuyou didn't stop her this time.

With these two around, Luo Heng would have a hard time dying even if he wanted to. He was just surprised and instinctively reached out to stop them.

Seeing him like this now, I'm actually happy to see him suffer a bit.

The others naturally wouldn't stop them either.

The old man opposite him looked at Luo Heng as he stepped forward, his brows slowly furrowing. He glanced at Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi, thinking to himself: How despicable! Realizing they have no chance of winning, they send a junior to be cannon fodder?

Thinking this, he slowly opened his mouth, his tone surprisingly kind: "Young man, I see that you have extraordinary talent and outstanding combat strength."

But they sent you here to die, so you must not be their true successor. Go now; with me here, those two old geezers won't dare pursue you.

What he was really thinking was: This kid probably really has the combat power of a sixth or seventh level of forbidden realm, and is a prodigy of our time. Since we have already made enemies, how can we let the tiger return to the mountain? I will deal with those two old men first, and then it will not be too late to hunt down this kid.

Luo Heng looked completely bewildered.

Unable to fathom the other person's thought process, he decided to stop wasting time and spoke directly:

"Old man, after this battle, you're quite a legendary figure. Tell me your name."

Although the old man didn't understand how he had become a "legend," he still proudly declared, "I am Xing Daorong."

Upon hearing the name, Luo Heng stumbled and nearly lost his balance. He looked at the person opposite him with a speechless expression.

Alright, alright, so it was you. No wonder you had such "mysterious self-confidence"...

"General Xing, is it?" Luo Heng nodded. "Today, I'll let you die knowing why."

"This is a phenomenon I created myself—the Supreme Emperor Yellow Heaven of the Thirty-Six Heavens."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Heng simply raised his hand slightly—

"Buzz!"

A small world, resembling a celestial realm descending from heaven, suddenly expanded from his body, instantly covering an area of ​​several miles.

In this small world, towering mountains rise into the sky, ancient trees reach for the heavens, silver waterfalls cascade down, and the Daoist spirit flows as if it were real.

At the same time, Luo Heng's mind completely connected with the Heavenly Heart Imprint deep within the Great Luo Heaven. At this point, he finally revealed the strongest form he could currently control...

Before the old man named Xing Daorong could react, he was already enveloped by this small world.

He was startled at first, but then realized that nothing was wrong with him, and his brows furrowed even more.

Looking at the ethereal, otherworldly scenery around him, he scoffed inwardly: A bluff...

Before he could make a move, Luo Heng raised his right hand and pressed it down sharply!

"Buzz—!!"

A terrifying gravitational force suddenly descended.
