【Covering the Sky】The Universe.

The ancient star of the Big Dipper, also known as the Burial Emperor Star, is where countless ancient emperors and great rulers have been buried throughout history.

In the post-ancient era, the universe underwent great changes, making it difficult to attain enlightenment. Only the Azure Emperor, who lived tens of thousands of years ago, defied the heavens and attained enlightenment, becoming the only person to become an emperor in the post-ancient era.

But the Azure Emperor has been gone for nearly ten thousand years.

Now, the world around the Big Dipper is undergoing great changes, and all the ancient races are beginning to emerge. Various rare physiques are also appearing one after another, such as the Ancient Holy Body, the Divine Body, the Demon Body, and the Dao Embryo. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is an era of great strife, and also the beginning of a golden age!

According to the calculations of emperors and sovereigns throughout history, the correct time is about to arrive.

But for Cao Ya, who was sealed inside the divine source of the Purple Mountain Tomb, none of that mattered. He didn't even know what era it was in the outside world.

But he vaguely sensed that someone outside his divine source seemed to be watching him and had already made a move.

Thank God, I'm finally going out...

Cao Ya was so excited that he almost cried, but he was trapped in the divine source and couldn't move at all. His heart was churning with emotions, but his face remained wooden and lifeless.

Suddenly, several indistinct sounds came from outside and entered the divine source.

"Black Emperor, are you sure this is a human?" a young man asked.

"Don't dig up an ancient race, that would be a real mess," an old voice said.

"Old blind man, don't talk nonsense. What if it really is an ancient ancestral king... Little Ye, it's up to you. You're the only one among us who controls a saint's body. You take the blame if there's danger, and we'll take the benefits." A ruthless man chuckled.

"Get lost! You shameless Taoist! The lid and the jar of the Devouring Demon Jar are in the hands of you and that old blind man. That's an ultimate imperial weapon, what are you afraid of? Be bolder!" The young man who started it said with a laugh.

"Woof! Don't worry, if I say he's a saint of the human race, then he is a saint of the human race." A dog barked, followed by a voice saying.

"If only he were a saint of the human race, the ancient races would have emerged and the Big Dipper would have been in turmoil, but the situation of the human race is not so optimistic." The young man sighed softly.

"What's there to be afraid of? We have supreme imperial weapons. What do we care about some ancient race? Even if it's an ancient royal family, we'll still dig up their ancestral graves. Thieves never leave empty-handed... Ah, ptooey, people never leave empty-handed!" said the unscrupulous Taoist.

Inside the divine source, Cao Ya's heart stirred. Judging from the conversation, the people outside should be Ye Fan, Duan De, Black Emperor, and Old Blind Man, whom he knew well.

Therefore, this is the prelude to an era of turmoil and golden age, with all the ancient races emerging one after another...

Cao Ya was relieved that he hadn't missed the deadline and was about to be dug out before the golden age.

Otherwise, what follows would be Ye Fan's era as the Heavenly Emperor. Before Ye Fan becomes an immortal in the mortal world, becoming an emperor? That would be extremely difficult.

The three people and the dog outside talked while cutting open the divine source.

“I heard the Great Emperor mention that there is a human saint within this divine source… well, it should be. He wasn’t originally in this place, but the Great Emperor moved him here when he swept through Purple Mountain,” the Black Emperor said, sounding a little guilty. He had forgotten whether the Great Emperor Wushi had actually referred to a saint or something else.

Ye Fan was suspicious. Had this damned dog misremembered? "It should be," but this "should be" wouldn't do.

However, with the opening of the divine source, the figure inside was revealed, and it was indeed a human being.

Ye Fan didn't ask any further questions, and with a swift motion, he sliced ​​open the Divine Source.

"Phew~~~"

Suddenly, a deep, resonant breathing sound echoed from within the mountain.

"What's wrong? The Primordial Ancestral King has appeared?" Duan De jumped up, his hair standing on end.

Ye Fan, the Black Emperor, and the Blind Old Man all gasped in shock, thinking that the ancient ancestral king in the Purple Mountain Tomb had sensed their movements and thus emerged into the world.

Ye Fan activated the Sacred Shell, which was the body of a deceased saint, who had cultivated a single secret realm and was comparable to a saint.

Duan De and the old blind man, one taking off the lid and the other holding the jar, were about to activate the ultimate imperial weapon—the Devouring Demon Jar.

"Don't move, it's me." Cao Ya's eyes twitched as he stepped out of the shattered divine source.

That was the first breath in over 200,000 years, so it was understandably exciting and made quite a commotion.

As a result, Ye Fan and his group misunderstood, becoming like frightened birds.

The Purple Mountain Tomb is indeed fraught with danger, being one of the ancient imperial mountains. They encountered peril on their way in, but fortunately Ye Fan had taken over the Sacred Shell, and the Devouring Demon Jar was also with them; otherwise, they would have perished before even entering.

"You? Who are you?"

Ye Fan jumped back and stood with Duan De, the old blind man, and the Black Emperor, looking at Cao Ya, who was moving his hands and feet, with a solemn expression.

They couldn't detect any aura from this person, yet their intuition kept telling them: a great threat!

The group exchanged glances, all thinking to themselves, "It seems this person is indeed a saint, otherwise how could he have been completely unaware?"

It should be noted that Ye Fan was at the peak of the second level of the Sendai realm, while the old blind man was at the third level of the Sendai realm.

In layman's terms, Ye Fan is an absolute master, and the old blind man can be called a king who has slain the Dao!

Duan De and Hei Huang are also formidable.

The only one who could pose such a severe threat to them is a saint.

"Junior Ye Fan, this is Senior Old Blind Man, this is Duan De, and that is Black Emperor, who followed Emperor Wushi..." Ye Fan said, cupping his hands. Suddenly, he remembered that according to Black Emperor, he had followed Emperor Wushi into Purple Mountain several times, and that's when he had this divine source.

Clearly, this person lived in an era before the time of the Great Emperor Wushi.

"Yes, Emperor Wushi was a great emperor of the human race, and he was invincible throughout the nine heavens and ten earths!" Ye Fan continued.

"The greatest emperor of all time!" the Black Emperor added.

Ye Fan and the others were speechless. The Great Emperor Wushi was indeed extremely powerful, but could it really be said that he was definitely more powerful than the Great Emperor Ruthless, the Great Emperor Void, and the Great Emperor Hengyu?

"Cao Ya." Cao Ya cupped his hands and looked at Ye Fan and the others, especially Ye Fan, who was the future Emperor Ye, and was known as one of the most powerful people, along with Wu Shi and Ruthless Man.

He has not yet become a saint.

While he was sizing up Ye Fan and his group, Ye Fan and his group were also observing Cao Ya.

Ye Fan and his companions ventured into the Purple Mountain Tomb in order to unearth a confirmed and verified human saint in order to deal with the emerging Primordial Ancestral King.

Now, with the resurgence of all ancient races, the situation of the human race has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

At the level of saints, those ancient races sealed away for millions of years are either young prodigies or older generation powerhouses. Ordinary people are not worth expending divine resources on.

Therefore, the ancestral kings of all ancient races, that is, the sages, were numerous, far exceeding the number of the human race.

It should be noted that before this, the Big Dipper did not allow people to become saints, with very few exceptions. No matter the older generation, or the middle and new generation of strong people, there had never been an ancient saint who had risen to prominence. They were still below the four immortal saints.

Even Ye Fan is still at the second level of the Immortal Realm, not yet the third level of the Immortal Realm, the King of the Dao.

Even with Ye Fan's extraordinary talent, he could stand in the forbidden realm and conquer multiple realms.

However, the second immortal being is far inferior to the fourth immortal being a saint.

The Sendai realm, each level of heaven, can be further subdivided into nine layers.

Furthermore, those who can become saints, regardless of the era, are not weaklings, and many of them can also trigger the forbidden domain of gods.

After the ancient races were revived, they were greatly displeased to see the human race occupy the position of the master of heaven and earth. Also, for the sake of resources, they targeted and even wantonly slaughtered humans, which aroused the indignation of countless human powerhouses, who went to various places to express their grievances.

In his deep sorrow, the Black Emperor recalled that he had followed the Great Emperor Wushi into Purple Mountain, where, in addition to the ancient races, a human saint was also sealed away.

This led Ye Fan, Duan De, and the old blind man to each use their trump cards—the Holy Shell and the Devouring Demon Jar—to venture deep into the Purple Mountain Tomb in search of the human saint.
