Their strength can be considered as half-step seventh rank!
So, at this moment, what stage is this ruthless person in? First life? Second life? Third life? Or fourth life? Or perhaps, already in the process of transforming into a mortal immortal?
This is crucial; it directly relates to whether Lin Yang can escape! It's a matter of life and death. If he were still in his first life, things would be much easier. He could easily escape by unleashing ten or eight high-grade sixth-tier spiritual treasures at full power!
After all, even a Great Emperor at his peak would be held back for a few breaths when faced with double-digit numbers of fully revived Imperial Artifacts. A few breaths was enough time for Lin Yang to escape.
Slowly raising his head, Lin Yang discovered that the ruthless man who had been bathing in the Immortal Pool was now standing opposite him, only a hundred feet away.
A hundred zhang—in a Yellow-level world, that distance would be practically impossible to catch. In a Profound-level world, it would be nothing more than the blink of an eye. In an Earth-level world, it would be practically the same as being in direct contact!
Now that he had been discovered, Lin Yang stood up seriously and carefully observed the ruthless woman. She was now dressed, but still wore a mask, radiating an aura of invincibility and eternal dominance.
Sensing her imposing aura, Lin Yang was certain he was no match for her! So the question was, had she discovered him peeping while he was showering? Let's test it out!
Then, Lin Yang gave what he thought was a very good smile and greeted him directly.
"Hello, you ruthless person!"
"Goodbye, ruthless one!"
Then, he turned and left. He said nothing more. Perhaps he'd noticed, perhaps he hadn't—who knows? Anyway, his first priority was to get out of there!
"Although I don't know how you got here, this is where it ends."
As he spoke, he gently raised his right hand, and streams of chaotic energy appeared. In an instant, the world changed color, and at the same time, a powerful will locked onto Lin Yang.
Looking at this overwhelming palm strike, Lin Yang felt nothing; he even wanted to laugh. No, at this moment, all he wanted was peace and quiet. Don't ask me who Jingjing is!
With his current level of cultivation, he can only know that this move is very strong, really very strong, but if you ask him to explain why this move is so strong, he actually doesn't know.
After all, forcing a fifth-order cultivator to evaluate a sixth-order cultivator's techniques is a ridiculous exercise, like the blind men describing an elephant! If one could truly understand the mysteries within, wouldn't one have already become a sixth-order celestial immortal?
Just like a three-dimensional object projected into a two-dimensional world, it's just an image with length and width, but no height! Projected into a one-dimensional world, it might even just be a line.
The difference between a sixth-tier Celestial Immortal and a fifth-tier beginner is even greater than this! It's a difference in dimensionality; how can Lin Yang possibly withstand it?
Fortunately, if you lack strength, you can make up for it with cheats! As a pay-to-win player, Lin Yang has no shortage of spiritual treasures. Even sixth-tier spiritual treasures, also known as imperial artifacts, are not lacking in Lin Yang at all.
Before the palm strike even landed, Lin Yang produced a jade ruyi. To be precise, it was a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!
The head of the Ruyi scepter is shaped like auspicious clouds, with three infinity pearls inlaid within it, which are respectively blue, green, and red.
The upper part corresponds to the three luminaries of the sun, moon, and stars, while the lower part corresponds to the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity. The meaning is: to be ordained by Heaven and to live in harmony with the Dao (referring to the Way of Heaven).
The handle of the Ruyi scepter features nine five-clawed golden dragons, each rising and falling differently, and none alike. Each of the nine golden dragons possesses its own unique charm, weaving through auspicious clouds, with every scale and whisker of each dragon meticulously detailed.
Thousands of golden rays shone on the dragon's body, which trembled, its neck arched and head raised as it leaped into the air. Its whiskers were wide open, its mouth was broad and its whiskers were long, its scales and claws were sharp, and its elbow hair was like a sword. Its enormous body stirred up the clouds, its momentum unstoppable, as if a real dragon had reappeared.
Meaning: In the vast universe, I am the only one who reigns supreme.
The end of the Ruyi is shaped like a lingzhi mushroom and has five blessing patterns. Although each pattern is different in shape, they are similar in essence. Their energy is vigorous and profound, their strength is fierce and powerful, and their momentum is like dragons and snakes, flowing and smooth. It can be said that the blessing contains the saint, and the saint is like heavenly blessing.
Meaning: May you enjoy eternal bliss and long life.
That's right, this is a replica of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi held by Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones in the legend!
In terms of grade, it is a top-tier spiritual treasure with thirty-six restrictions. It is equivalent to a half-step immortal artifact in the novel "Covering the Sky"! For its specific power, you can refer to the Void Mirror after it was bathed in the Emperor's blood, and the broken Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Of course, if it weren't a counterfeit, it wouldn't be in Lin Yang's hands! Moreover, even though it's just a counterfeit, its power is by no means weak!
Lin Yang formed hand seals, and his primordial spirit in his sea of consciousness visualized the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, transforming all his power into incomparably pure Jade Purity Divine Power.
"The world is turned upside down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his strength increased several times over in an instant, thanks to the blessing of the Heaven-Turning Seal!
Most importantly, this enhanced power directly entered the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, acting as a catalyst to instantly unleash the power of the jade ruyi itself.
With the Heaven-Turning Seal among the Nine Primordial Seals, combined with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Lin Yang was still very confident!

Chapter 54: Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors with Distorted Brains
However, the ruthless man seemed to ignore Lin Yang's overtures and continued to unleash his various supernatural powers, constantly activating the Devouring Demon Jar.
The combined forces were extremely powerful, along with the effects of the Devouring Demon Jar, a special imperial weapon, the divine restrictions unique to the Great Emperor, and various other secret techniques.
In that instant, the ruthless man's attack power directly surpassed the late stage of the sixth rank, reaching the peak of the sixth rank, and even slightly felt like he was half a step into the seventh rank.
In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, what is the strength of a half-step seventh-tier cultivator? It means that if you want, you can slap those weak ancient emperors and kings who have cut off their own swords and die instantly!
Therefore, the ruthless woman was quite confident in this move. In her view, even if those incomplete ancient emperors from the forbidden zone came, without undergoing a transformation, they would only meet a gruesome end, their bodies and souls annihilated.
Thinking about it this way, she looked at Lin Yang with great interest, even though in her eyes Lin Yang was already a dead man. However, she was still very interested in the way Lin Yang had appeared and the two newly appeared 'Emperor Weapons'.
Seeing this, Lin Yang smiled disdainfully. "You can't talk about ice with a summer insect," and "A frog in a well"—this perfectly describes these emperors in *Covering the Sky*!
Even though the ruthless ones are already among the best, they are still trapped in old ways and have great limitations!
In Lin Yang's view, the world of "Covering the Sky" is a world of pure fighting! Here, the strong do whatever they want, the weak have nothing, and the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is vividly demonstrated!
This is precisely why the Taoist methods and supernatural powers that everyone studied, and even the paths they took, went completely astray! They were fundamentally wrong!
The simplest example is the emperors in those forbidden zones. In pursuit of immortality, they severed themselves and then used the chaos of darkness to live for hundreds of thousands of years without any problem!
In all this time, couldn't you properly investigate why the universe is in trouble? Why has the immortal matter contained within the world itself disappeared?
How can we enhance the fundamental nature of the universe and upgrade the world? After the world is upgraded, will immortal matter reappear?
