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

The Ji family members below were all shrewd and experienced; how could they not understand what was happening?

Seeing that their own Supreme Elder, though at a disadvantage, had firmly restrained the opponent's strongest combat force, they immediately seized this fleeting opportunity.

"Assist the Supreme Elder in capturing and killing the petty thief first!"

More than twenty prominent members of the Ji family roared in unison, their voices echoing across the surrounding area.

They no longer fought individually, but instead their auras merged, forming a profound combined attack formation.

The immense divine power resonated and intertwined with the laws of the void, transforming into a gigantic net that blotted out the sky and descended upon Ye Fan and Weiwei!

The net's threads were composed of condensed spatial power, incomparably sharp, leaving long, dark trails in the air wherever they passed.

This combined attack, which brought together the power of more than twenty cultivators at the Dragon Transformation and Four Extremes levels, possessed a chilling power that subtly surpassed the aftershocks of the battle between the two powerful cultivators at the Immortal Platform level next to it!

Elder Liu's expression hardened.

If he focuses all his efforts on dealing with Ji Changkong, he will find it difficult to fully protect Ye Fan; if he is distracted in resisting this combined attack net, he will give Ji Changkong an opportunity to take advantage.

For a moment, although the holy light around him surged like a tide, transforming into layers of light curtains and dazzling halos, he had to resist Ji Changkong's elusive, cunning, and ruthless attacks, as well as contend with the massive void net that covered him and was powerful enough to cut through his body. He suddenly appeared to be struggling to cope.

The originally expanding holy light domain was also forced to shrink slightly.

Fortunately, Weiwei had already summoned the seven-tiered crystal tower, from which thick, hazy light descended, firmly protecting her and Ye Fan within.

The small tower is quite remarkable; it has managed to hold its own against the aftershocks of the battle for the time being.

Through the hazy light screen, Ye Fan stared intently at the earth-shattering duel outside, which far surpassed his current level. He was deeply shocked and unable to contain himself.

At the same time, he could clearly see that Elder Liu seemed to be in a passive position, and he couldn't help but look anxiously at Weiwei beside him.

"Senior Sister Weiwei, I still have a trump card up my sleeve that might be able to help Elder Liu!"

Ye Fan was a responsible person after all. He knew that the current turmoil was all his fault. The two people from Yao Guang Holy Land had been implicated because of him, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

His mind raced, and he recalled the five-colored flames sealed within the primordial energy of the Xuanhuang Mother in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

This flame originates from the seventh layer of the Fire Domain and is incredibly powerful. Even if it cannot burn Ji Changkong, who is at the Sendai Realm, it could greatly alleviate Elder Liu's pressure if it could catch him off guard and severely injure or even kill several of the Ji family's renowned elders and venerable ones below.

With a slight thought, he prepared to communicate with the sea of ​​suffering.

But when Weiwei heard this, she smiled and gently raised her hand, a subtle movement that stopped Ye Fan from saying anything more.

Her gaze remained fixed on the fierce battle outside, her tone gentle yet conveying a convincing composure:

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Ye. We can handle this situation ourselves, so there's no need for you to use any trump cards."

Her eyes were clear and bright, and her tone carried a reassuring calmness. "When the Holy Son sent us here, he had already anticipated the obstacles we might encounter, so he specially bestowed upon us a precious treasure to ensure our safety."

Having said that, her expression turned serious, and she called out in a clear voice, "Elder Liu!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already activated the seven-story pagoda above her head with all her might.

The small tower suddenly trembled violently, emitting a clear, melodious hum like a dragon's roar. The tower's body shone brightly, its previously hazy luster suddenly intensifying! A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the previous level and causing one's soul to tremble, suddenly spread out, as if an ancient king had awakened from a slumber!

The tower swelled in the wind, spinning rapidly, and transformed into a gray rainbow that flew towards Elder Liu.

Countless thick, almost tangible strands of gray light cascaded down from the eaves of the tower. Wherever they passed, the enormous, incomparably sharp net of void, laid out by the combined efforts of the Ji family, melted and disintegrated rapidly, like snowflakes under the blazing sun, making a hissing sound!

Elder Liu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he laughed loudly, "Well done!"

He grabbed the base of the small tower in mid-air, and poured his immense holy power from the second level of the Sendai Heaven into it without reservation, like a river bursting its banks.

"Buzz—Clang!"

With the full power of a great being, this kingly divine weapon seemed to be completely awakened! The tower body burst forth with a silent gray light that illuminated the universe, and within the light, there seemed to be ancient world phantoms rising and falling.

A vast and boundless "suppression" intent swept across the eight directions, and the space within a radius of dozens of miles instantly became viscous and solidified, as if it had turned into a huge piece of amber.

Ji Changkong was the first to be affected, and his expression changed drastically. He was horrified to discover that his connection with the surrounding void laws had become more obscure and difficult than ever before, and the exquisite movement techniques he relied on to maneuver were now impossible to use.

"A divine weapon of kings?! Yao Guang actually entrusted such a powerful artifact to a junior?!" He was both shocked and furious, his voice trembling slightly.

"town!"

Elder Liu's words thundered, and wielding the revived divine weapon of kings, he seemed to be holding up an ancient realm, and fiercely pressed down on Ji Changkong and the Ji family members below!

The small tower transformed into a colossal mountain, carrying with it the annihilating gray light of destruction and the majestic holy light, and crashed down with a deafening roar.

The seemingly unbreakable combined attack formation of the Ji family members crumbled instantly like paper under the absolute suppression of power and rank.

"puff!"

"what!"

More than twenty people were struck as if by an ancient divine mountain, spitting out blood and flying backward uncontrollably. The weaker ones crashed directly into the forest below, sending dust billowing into the sky.

At this point, the Ji family members had completely lost the ability to join forces in a siege. Their remaining strength could only barely converge on Ji Changkong's side to jointly resist that terrifying crystalline gray tower.

However, each clash between the gray light and the holy light, each collision between the tower and the power of the void, was accompanied by the screams and falls of the Ji family elders.

A terrifying energy storm ravaged the heavens and the earth, causing catastrophic destruction to the mountains and forests below. Towering ancient trees were reduced to dust in large swaths, hard rocks crumbled and disintegrated, and the ground was leveled and torn apart layer by layer, leaving behind countless shockingly huge craters.

In just a short while, the originally undulating hilly terrain had been transformed into a desolate plain scarred by devastation!

"Ah! Break it!"

Ji Changkong's eyes were bloodshot, knowing he had reached a dead end. In a roar, he did not hesitate to burn his own life essence.

He moved his hands with difficulty, and a huge, deep void, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, emerged in front of him, emitting a heart-palpitating suction force, attempting to engulf the kingly divine weapon that was pressing down.

However, the gray tower only trembled slightly.

hum!

An even denser, chaotic gray light cascaded down like a waterfall. The void black hole, which contained Ji Changkong's desperate power, couldn't even hold on for a moment before violently twisting and collapsing with a mournful cry!

The aftershocks of the collapse swept back and slammed into Ji Changkong.

"puff--!"

He suffered another severe blow, his clothes stained with blood, and his life force visibly weakened.

The tide of battle turned completely and without any doubt the moment this kingly divine weapon intervened in the war!

In the end, Ji Changkong barely managed to stand in mid-air, his body swaying precariously, coughing up blood incessantly.
