From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 135: The Way of the Ruthless, The Way of the Slashing, The Falling Eagle Cliff in the Northe

Chapter 135: The Way of the Ruthless, The Way of the Slashing, The Falling Eagle Cliff in the Northern Territory (Two in One)

“Thank you, big brother. You are a kind person. Nannan will definitely remember you.”

The little girl looked at him gratefully, her big eyes filled with tears, and started to wolf down the food regardless of the heat.

Si Chen knew why the little girl said that, because after a period of time, she would forget the past. Even if someone adopted her, she would leave on her own and start wandering again.

“Eat slowly. Are you thirsty? I’ll buy you a cup of soy milk.” Si Chen had an inexplicable liking for little Nannan.

For some reason, this feeling is very strange. Perhaps it is because I have practiced the Immortal Heavenly Art and have a chaotic body, so there is a trace of cause and effect in it.

After drinking some soy milk, tears flashed in the little girl’s eyes. She wiped away her tears and said solemnly: “I will repay my big brother.”

“Need not.”

Looking at the poor little girl, Si Chen didn’t know what to say. He sighed lightly and just bought her some food and asked her to carry it with her so that she wouldn’t be hungry.

Then he bought her a set of clothes and shoes, even though he knew it was useless.

The ruthless man’s obsession will cause the little girl to continue reincarnating and return to her original appearance.

This might be the secret of immortality of the ruthless emperor, and it might be related to her being able to live into her fifth life. Little Nannan was left behind when her lifespan transformed in her fourth life.

It is similar to the longevity method of the Eternal Dream, but somewhat different.

“Big brother…this is for you.”

Before leaving, the little girl took out a crystal clear stone from her tattered clothes. Seven kinds of light were flowing on it, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.

“This is my protective stone. Nannan hopes you can be safe.”

Si Chen was stunned, took the stone, held it in his palm, observed it carefully, revealed a solemn expression, and opened the Chaos Sky Eye.

The divine light was so bright that at this moment, the void was distorted, as if it was about to collapse.

Infinite principles of Tao emerged from the colorful stones, with countless rays of light and thousands of auspicious colors, bright and transparent. The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot in Si Chen’s body also sensed it, and was leaping for joy, with a dark light shining brightly.

“clank……”

The Sky-Devouring Demon Cover let out wailing sounds, and dropped rays of immortal light, which resonated with the bronze ring in Si Chen’s hand. There were strands of light between the two, connecting them together.

But the scary thing was that the pedestrians around didn’t notice anything at all and were still walking and talking on the street, including the monks.

“The Law of the Ruthless Emperor!”

Si Chen’s face changed color. There was a ruthless path in it, which was too supreme and was beyond his ability to comprehend at the moment.

He hasn’t even cut off his Dao yet, and if he makes any contact with it rashly, it will have an impact on his Dao which has not yet been formed.

But after he achieves the Dao of Slashing, this seven-colored stone will be useful. By comprehending it, he can speed up his practice of the Dao of Slashing realm.

However, after thinking for a long time, Si Chen chose to refuse. After all, the little girl said that this was her protective stone.

Besides, with his speed of cultivation, he doesn’t need this stone.

Unexpectedly, the next second, another colorful stone appeared in the palm of little Nannan’s hand, exactly the same as the previous one: “Brother, keep it. Look, Nannan has conjured up another one.”

“It’s a pity that stones can’t be eaten, otherwise my daughter wouldn’t be hungry…”

Listening to the little girl’s innocent words, Si Chen was speechless for a moment.

“Thank you, Nannan. Brother accepts it. You must grow up well too.” Si Chen solemnly put away the stone, touched little Nannan’s head and expressed his gratitude.

He knew that there was not just one stone. It would automatically refresh itself every once in a while. It should be a magical object produced by the Dao Fruit of the Henren Emperor.

However, this thing is useless to ordinary people even if they possess it. It is of some use to Si Chen only, because he is a chaotic body and has also cultivated the Immortal Platform Scroll of the Immortal Heavenly Art. He can comprehend it after he has achieved the Dao of Destruction.

Seeing that he was about to leave, little Nannan looked at him reluctantly. Seeing this, Si Chen bought the little girl another string of candied haws.

The little girl was eating candied haws happily. Her face was covered with stains, but her eyes were clear. Si Chen sighed and strode away.

He disappeared on the street. Little Nannan stopped and looked at his back without saying anything.

……

Si Chen was thinking about the path he was going to cut. For any cultivator, the third path of cutting is a big hurdle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Dao of Killing is the most important level in the Method of Covering the Sky. Only by cutting out the most terrifying avenue can you create the most glorious and broad road and go further in the future.

Xian San slashed the road and cut off the monk’s path. People can also cut off the Tao, cut themselves off with a knife, cut off the thoughts in their hearts, cut them all, cut them clean, and cut out their own Tao!
Before achieving the Dao of Destruction, although one needs to understand the Dao in order to improve one’s cultivation, the Dao that one comprehends is fragmentary and incomplete.

The way of cutting is to integrate these fragmented pieces of the avenue, make choices, keep the useful ones, and finally form a unique avenue that belongs to you alone.

The more powerful the avenue you form, the higher your future potential will be.

Of course, this avenue is just a prototype, it is the foundation for the cultivator to become an emperor in the future.

However, even in its infancy, it is not easy to integrate it.

Especially for cultivators with outstanding talents, the fragments of the Dao they comprehended before they cut off the Dao are far more powerful than others, so cutting off the Dao is more difficult than for others.

To achieve the Dao of slashing, one does not need to practice hard, but to understand oneself. Some people may not be able to cross this hurdle even after spending their entire lives, while others can understand it in an instant and soar into the sky.

This level is really special. There were several extraordinary geniuses in history who were said to be comparable to or even better than the young emperors of all ages, but they all died at this level. You can imagine how dangerous it is.

Sometimes people often wonder, if those few people had gotten through, would there be more emperors? However, there is no if, once you fail, no matter how amazing you were in the past, it will be useless.

When reaching the stage of Zhan Dao, talent sometimes does not serve as a help, but becomes a hindrance instead. The more talented the cultivator is, the more likely he will be trapped.

Si Chen currently knows of two paths.

Most of the cultivators cut themselves with a sword to cut off some of their obsessions, understand their own hearts, and allow themselves to move forward.

Ye Fan went against the great way and chose to start from the way of the ancient emperor, man cutting the way of heaven, because he was a holy body, and the heaven and earth in the post-ancient times could not tolerate holy bodies, so he had to take this path.

After Ye Fan’s sword was cut, his combat power indeed soared. It was incomparable to before. Before he was cut, he could only fight against the ancient prince on equal terms, but after he was cut, he could suppress him.

As for the other people who have found their way to immortality in the mortal world, it is still unknown what path they took, but a ruthless person will definitely not cut off her path in a normal way, because she will not cut off her obsession.

“The path that everyone wants to cut is related to themselves, so what kind of path should I cut out?” Si Chen was thinking.

Zhan Dao, what was his own Dao? He didn’t have much idea for a moment.

“Let’s polish myself first and prepare for the Dao of Cutting.” He didn’t plan to cut in Beidou, but return to Ziwei Ancient Star to cut again.

……

One of the most famous dangerous places in the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland is the Falling Eagle Cliff.

As the name suggests, even an eagle will fall if it lands on the cliff. You can imagine how steep and dangerous it is, and it is impossible to stand on it.

According to legend, this place was a battlefield in ancient times, and even a great holy spirit died there and was killed by the Fighting Saint Emperor.

“It’s really a dangerous place.” After seeing the terrain here, even Si Chen exclaimed in admiration.

The Eagle Falling Cliff was ten thousand feet high, straight up and down, and the valley it formed was like a chimney, steep and dangerous. The entire cliff was dark red, as if it had been stained with blood.

This blood was at least left by the Ancient Ancestor King at this level, which is comparable to a saint. This amount of blood means that at least hundreds of saints died here, which is really scary.

The only place that can be compared to this place is the Arctic ice field.

Si Chen did not hesitate and jumped in. The sound of the wind whistled in his ears, rapidly descending, blowing against people’s skin. All kinds of black clouds and evil spirits surged.

Below, you can vaguely see undulating mountains and open plains, boundless as far as the eye can see. Wherever there is a valley, it looks like a continent.

In the ancient times, too many people died in battle here, and the corpses of beheaded kings and saints were everywhere, causing this vast area to almost become a human area, and many strange things happened.

Eventually, an unknown ancient emperor refined the entire land under the Falling Eagle Cliff, and it became like this.

Not long after, Si Chen landed on the ground. The front was extremely open. He could see the scenery when he opened his divine eyes, but it was a little dim.

He walked forward, and this place really was like a continent, boundless and with almost no end.

Along the way he saw large tombs, each as big as a hill, and many fossil-like corpses, stretching as far as the eye could see. And this was only a corner of the ancient battlefield. It was hard to imagine how many people died back then.

When passing through a pitch-black fog, the front suddenly became dazzling. All kinds of lights were flying, various ancient weapons were attacking, and various laws were flashing.

This is murderous intent, an undying resentment, and the fighting spirit of the heroic spirits who died in battle.

The laws issued by the ancestral kings in the ancient times gathered the essence of heaven and earth, circulated endlessly, and continued to turn this place into an eternal killing field. If ordinary cultivators broke in, they would die.

After traveling more than 800 miles, Si Chen finally approached the core area of ​​the battlefield.

This is a terrifying area, with all kinds of ancient weapons and divine lights dancing in the air. They are the manifestations of divine rules left behind by the ancient ancestor kings, which are equivalent to the aftermath of a saint’s impact.

“The next step is to enter here!” Si Chen took out the Goddess Furnace and held it in his hand to protect himself.

As the divine power flowed, the goddess’ furnace emitted colorful clouds, and endless light hung down to protect him.

Si Chen did not take out the imperial weapon because there was no need. He came here just to comprehend the principles of this place.

But in this case, the pressure he will face will not be small. After all, there are too many saints who have fallen here, and among them there are even the laws of the Great Sage. Even with the protection of the Goddess Furnace, every step forward is very difficult. He can only save his life. If he wants to go deeper, he will need fierce confrontation and tempering.

Along the way, various laws and lights impacted Si Chen, who faced and fought against them every day, and gradually comprehended many divine rules that were difficult for ordinary people to reach.

As he moved forward, he also summoned the Chaos Orb and tried to imprint these divine laws in the void.

The Chaos Pearl was suspended above Si Chen’s head, dropping wisps of chaotic energy. As he moved forward, countless divine rules were also imprinted on it, making its aura even more unfathomable.

During the journey, Si Chen deliberately reduced the power of the Goddess Furnace, released more divine rules to bombard himself, and used his own flesh and soul to fight a life and death battle in order to gain a deeper understanding of these divine rules.

This was no less than the most terrifying natural calamity, one after another. He used the divine rules left over from the ancient battlefield to temper himself, his muscles, bones, and soul. He fought against these laws as he walked, accepting the tempering.

Verified by the countless Dao patterns left behind by the saints on the battlefield, his Taoism was improving, and countless Dao gods were manifesting in his heart. He gradually gained a deeper understanding of the various ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor that he had practiced.

It took Si Chen more than three months to travel this road before he finally crossed the edge of the battlefield and entered the core area.

“Rumble”

Various lights were flying, this was a sea of ​​interwoven divine principles, with thunder roaring continuously. If there were no handed-down holy weapons to protect the body, even the most accomplished king would be reduced to ashes if he came in.

It was a horrifying sight, as if hundreds of ancient saints were battling against each other, displaying the most essential divine principles of their lives in a fierce confrontation.

Three months of hard work have made Si Chen more mature and more fierce.

Standing in the core area of ​​the battlefield, looking at the terrifying ocean of divine rules in the sky, Si Chen fell into thought.

According to the unreliable fellow Black Emperor in the original novel, this is a good place to refine weapons. If one can survive the saint’s heavenly tribulation here and use the ultimate level of immortal materials, perhaps one can refine an emperor’s weapon without the need to attain the status of a great emperor.

The basis of his theory is that there are the divine essences of hundreds of saints here. If a heavenly calamity is triggered, it would be equivalent to bringing hundreds of saints, saint kings, and great saints through the calamity together.

Such a superposition will inevitably trigger the most terrifying heavenly punishment, which even the peak quasi-emperor may not be able to withstand. Perhaps an imperial weapon can be born.

It sounds reasonable at first, but it’s obviously bullshit.

Saints and emperors are not creatures of the same level at all. Let alone hundreds of saints, even hundreds of quasi-emperors are still ants in the eyes of the emperor.

It is possible for it to become a quasi-imperial weapon, but it is absolutely impossible for it to become an imperial weapon.

“Let’s refine the weapons first.”

The Chaos Pearl on Si Chen’s head flew into the ocean of divine rules and was placed in the center of the Dao rules. It was immediately bombarded and lightning flashed across the sky.

The nine primordial essences within it all revived at this moment, transforming into dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds, fish, insects, all things in heaven and earth, and gathering the divine rules of the ten directions.

The Chaos Pearl was roaring, floating up and down in various Taoist lights, being baptized, and being struck and shaken, but it remained immortal and absorbed the laws of heaven and earth.

These nine essences of chaos were the ones he had refined during the Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation. They were extraordinary, and this time they emerged on their own initiative.

It was like it was transforming into a divine fetus, extremely strange, gradually growing stronger, evolving into plants, turning into mountains and rivers, and becoming real dragons and fairy phoenixes, with thousands of forms and countless living creatures.

This is the gestation of a divine fetus. If one wants to become a supreme imperial soldier, this is the first step that must be taken. Then, after being baptized by heavenly calamity and evolving through the great way, a god will be born inside, which will become the “divine foundation” among the imperial soldiers.

In the ancient times, there were countless gods left here. Under the crazy absorption of the Chaos Pearl, the area within hundreds of miles became a vacuum.

The nine lines on the surface of the Chaos Pearl are glowing, with Qilin, Xuanwu, Suzaku, plants, fish and insects appearing in various forms, evolving an inexplicable mechanism, making it even more mysterious.

“You go too.”

Si Chen also summoned the Eternal Blue Halberd in his body and threw it into the light, hoping that it could also be transformed.
