Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 346 Taking it a step further! Goodbye, little girl!

"Senior, save...save..." Wang Teng called out, his voice very weak, which made even the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon feel a pang of heartache.

Without any hesitation, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon immediately broke free from Ye Fan's sea of ​​suffering, rushed to the top of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and plunged into the abyss.

For the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon, the depth of the Ancient Forbidden Land Abyss is so great that it only takes a moment to travel from the surface to its deepest point.

When he arrived at the deepest part of the desolate forbidden land, he finally saw Wang Teng.

To his surprise, Wang Teng is currently in very poor condition.

When they parted, Wang Teng was full of vigor. Although he did not show any arrogance, he was still radiant and full of youthful energy.

Of course, most importantly, Wang Teng was very healthy back then, with no injuries all over his body. But now Wang Teng is in very poor condition. It's not so much that his body is covered with dense wounds, but rather that there are hardly any unscathed spots on his body.

Wang Teng's entire body was almost completely broken. Now he was like a rag doll that had been torn apart and then sewn back together. Although he could still be vaguely seen as human, he was not actually complete.

Moreover, it wasn't just Wang Teng's physical body that was shattered; his divine sense also seemed to have suffered severe damage, as if it had just been torn apart and was only now barely managing to reassemble itself.

Most importantly, Wang Teng is not doing nothing; he is currently fully utilizing the "Zhe" Secret Technique and several other Emperor-level healing techniques.

Even so, Wang Teng's current condition is very poor, and he can only barely maintain the status quo. It is conceivable how serious his injuries are.

Just as the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon was eager to make a move, a powerful pressure descended upon him, leaving him stunned in place.

The ancient emperor and his divine beings shifted their attention and were surprised to find that it was the Ruthless Great Emperor who was watching him.

A simple glance was enough to make him feel immense pressure, as if a world-destroying attack would descend upon him the moment he dared to move.

The oppressive force froze him in place, preventing him from moving.

However, seeing Wang Teng's current poor condition, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon couldn't help but speak up, "Senior..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Let him do it himself..."

A clear, cold voice echoed in the hearts of the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon and Wang Teng.

The ancient imperial weapon deity glanced helplessly at Wang Teng, the meaning in his eyes already quite clear.

He was powerless to help.

“It’s alright… I can do it myself…” Wang Teng said with difficulty.

He is indeed in very poor condition right now, and it is difficult for him to even speak. As it appears to the outside world, there is almost no intact part of his body.

Because he is facing another version of himself, fighting against himself, how could he possibly gain the upper hand?

He paid a heavy price to win, having used up almost all his trump cards.

In the end, he won because he relied on his own tool—the source of the Dao that transcends the two timelines of past and present lives and exists between reality and illusion.

The Ruthless Great Emperor might be able to simulate anything else about himself, but he could never imitate the Source of the Dao.

Because this thing is not a product of a single world, a large part of the reason why Wang Teng was able to master the power of time and space is because he experienced his past and present lives and felt the differences in time and space in two different worlds.

This alone makes Wang Teng different from everyone else in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Although Wang Teng rarely used his Source of Dao before, not using it doesn't mean he didn't have it.

In the recent battle with his other self, the Source of Dao unleashed unprecedented power, directly helping Wang Teng defeat his other self.

"Alright, then be careful. Your current injuries are much more serious than so-called Great Dao wounds. Be careful and cautious, and don't leave any hidden dangers for yourself!" The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon God solemnly instructed Wang Teng.

Logically speaking, the empress should also be very concerned about Wang Teng's situation, but the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon still couldn't help but want to give him some advice.

Wang Teng was about to nod when he suddenly heard a cracking sound on his neck.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and heal your wounds!" Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon said with concern.

For a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm to make such a sound from his spine, one can only imagine how serious the injuries Wang Teng sustained in this battle were.

The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon had many questions he wanted to ask Wang Teng, but now was clearly not the time to speak, so he could only hold back and ask them later.

Under the watchful eyes of a Great Emperor who appeared to be a Mortal Immortal and a supreme imperial weapon, Wang Teng finally began to focus all his efforts on healing his injuries.

His current injuries are too severe. Even one of the Nine Secrets, renowned for its healing abilities, would find it difficult to restore Wang Teng to his peak condition in a short period of time.

Because Wang Teng is currently suffering not only from external injuries, but also from internal injuries.

This internal injury doesn't refer to a mental or physical injury, but rather to the lingering aura of ancient emperors within him—a deadly move from the Emperor's Scripture.

Although Wang Teng withstood those deadly attacks, the killing intent spread within his body, constantly damaging his vitality and preventing the healing of his injuries.

These injuries are the result of another Wang Teng inflicting them upon himself.

There's no way around it; both of them have mastered many of the inheritances of ancient emperors, and can readily use various killing moves from imperial scriptures. If they were to fight, even a casual strike could be a trump card from some ancient emperor.

Those attacks were not so easily stopped.

Currently, within Wang Teng's body, the auras of at least a dozen ancient emperors are spreading, raging, and destroying the life force within him.

"That's ruthless..." Even Wang Teng himself couldn't help but grin when looking at the masterpiece of his other self.

It had to be him. He also possessed so many ancient emperors' scriptures, and was able to temporarily alleviate the murderous intent of those emperors spreading within his body by relying on the same source of energy. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have died countless times by now.

To fully recover, besides healing the wounds, the most important thing is to remove the remaining killing intent of the ancient emperor from his body.

If those murderous energies are not eliminated, even if he simultaneously uses the Secret of the Word "Zhe" and other healing scriptures from ancient emperors, he will not be able to fully recover.

This process is destined to be long and painful.

However, this process is also a process of testing oneself.

Because while removing the aura of those ancient emperors, Wang Teng was also essentially practicing the mysteries within those ancient emperors' scriptures once again, and was also witnessing his own learning, thoughts, and insights from another perspective.

This process lasted three months.

Wang Teng's body was broken down for three months.

If he hadn't been constantly using the highest scriptures to heal his injuries, he probably would have bled to death in those three months.

However, at the same time that all the killing intent of the Great Emperor was extracted from his body, five-colored flames suddenly burst into flames beside Wang Teng.

He took a deep breath, swallowing the surrounding flames. Under the tempering of the flames, the wounds on his body and the patterns of his divine sense slowly disappeared, as if they had been erased. He returned to his peak once again!
The divine sense and physical body are completely integrated, and both the strength of the physical body and the resilience and power of the divine sense have surpassed those of the past!

"Suddenly I feel like I've touched a divine taboo..." Wang Teng wondered to himself.

Originally, his realm and strength were already top-tier among those in the same realm. Now, his physical body and divine sense have advanced even further, so one can imagine just how powerful he is now.

Although his current cultivation level is still at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, his combat power has increased significantly. If he were to encounter his other self from three months ago, even if he couldn't easily defeat him, Wang Teng would be able to do so much more easily.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Wang Teng stood up and said earnestly.

How could he not understand that this was his master's test and guidance for him?

He successfully passed the test, and his strength increased dramatically once again.

"You're very good..."

A cold voice echoed in Wang Teng's mind.

Although the voice was cold and clear, to Wang Teng it was like a clear spring flowing in winter, calming his mind and preventing him from becoming too agitated by the increase in his strength.

"You can continue walking now..."

The voice sounded again.

Wang Teng stayed here for more than three months, but he never exchanged more than five sentences with the Ruthless Emperor.

But Wang Teng had already gotten used to it. When his Dao Palace deity Lu Hao was cultivating here, he didn't exchange more than three words with the Ruthless Great Emperor for two whole years.

After all, what remains here now is only the physical body of the Ruthless Great Emperor; the Dao Fruit of the Ruthless Great Emperor is still circulating outside.

"Yes!" Wang Teng nodded.

He was also a very decisive person. When the Ruthless Great Emperor said he could leave, he left without lingering there any longer.

Before leaving, Wang Teng said goodbye to the other slaves who had regained consciousness.

When Wang Teng left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Abyss, he did not see Ye Fan. He guessed that the beam of light that had erupted from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Abyss some time ago was too powerful and had disturbed Ye Fan.

Furthermore, considering that Ye Fan was later frightened by the Wilderness Slave, Ye Fan has probably already left the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land and is probably observing from the outside world.

On the way out of the desolate ancient forbidden land, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon remained silent, which was completely unlike his usual self.

However, immediately after leaving the desolate forbidden land, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon started talking non-stop.

"What exactly happened to you three months ago? How did you get so badly injured? When I first saw you, I even thought you were going to die and were only being kept alive by the secret technique of the character '者'..."

"I was extremely anxious at the time, but that person wouldn't let me intervene. Luckily, you pulled through on your own, and now you've even made further progress..."

"By the way, when you met that person, I took a look at the Ancient Sacred Body, and guess what I saw in his Sea of ​​Bitterness..."

"The aura of the Azure Emperor still lingers within that guy's Sea of ​​Bitterness..."

"Moreover, there seems to be a fragment of a celestial artifact on him, but on that fragment, there is also the aura of the Azure Emperor..."

The moment he left the desolate forbidden land, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon became very talkative, telling Wang Teng about his discoveries over the past period.

"Moreover, I suspect that the Azure Emperor may not be dead!" Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng finally stopped. He hadn't expected that the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapons had also discovered the clue that the Azure Emperor was not dead.

“I will look for other relevant clues during this time, so you don’t need to worry too much. I will give that person a hint and see their attitude. If they don’t care, then it proves that even if the Azure Emperor is not dead, it will not affect your attainment of the Dao and becoming an emperor,” the Chaotic Ancient Emperor God transmitted.

"I understand, thank you, senior." Wang Teng said earnestly.

The Ancient Chaos Emperor Weapon truly cares about itself. Although this senior is very talkative and often rambles on, sometimes talking to himself for a long time, he is genuinely devoted to the Ancient Chaos Emperor Weapon.

"Oh, it's nothing," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon deity said casually.

After leaving the Forbidden Wasteland, Wang Teng arrived at a small town that was neither the closest nor the farthest from the Forbidden Wasteland.

Ye Fan is hiding here.

Of course, Wang Teng did not directly meet with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan is still cultivating diligently.

But here Wang Teng saw Xiao Nannan again.

The moment the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon saw the little girl, it immediately shut up and stopped its incessant telepathic communication to Wang Teng.

"Little girl, do you still remember me?" Wang Teng asked as he approached the little girl, holding a string of candied hawthorns.

The little girl still looks like she's four or five years old, and she's very strong with Wang Erya, as if she'll never grow up.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the little girl, she is actually very forgetful, and sometimes she may forget things she just experienced.

However, when facing Wang Teng, Xiao Nannan only thought for a moment before immediately remembering who this older brother was.

"Oh! Brother Wang Teng!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly, rushing up to hug Wang Teng's arm.

"Good girl." Wang Teng reached out and patted the little girl's head, then handed her the candied hawthorn.

Throughout the entire process, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapons remained hidden within Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Bitterness, not daring to make a move.

He was filled with horror, thinking that Wang Teng was incredibly audacious.

Before, when he didn't know her true identity, it was one thing for Wang Teng to call himself "brother" to this little girl. But now that he knows her true identity, he still dares to come up to her and let her call him "brother."

To be honest, even the ancient imperial army was panicked.

In the darkness, he seemed to sense a gaze falling upon Wang Teng.

But Wang Teng seemed to ignore it.

He took the little girl's hand and strolled around the town. Whatever the little girl wanted to eat, Wang Teng would buy it for her and then watch her eat it carefully.

After eating, Wang Teng would reach out and wipe the little girl's mouth, his eyes even showing a hint of doting affection.

Seeing this, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon dared not move even more. He was really worried that when the Ruthless Great Emperor couldn't stand it anymore, he would kill him as well.

Fortunately, Wang Teng had gained the approval of the Ruthless Emperor from the very beginning, so despite all that Wang Teng had done, he did not cause any dissatisfaction or resentment from the Emperor.

Because Ye Fan is in seclusion, Xiao Nannan is currently living alone in an inn in the small town.

Although Ye Fan instructed the innkeeper to pay close attention to the little girl's safety, the innkeeper wouldn't ask too many questions as long as the little girl was alright.

So for the past few days, the little girl has been following her brother Wang Teng and has been very happy every day.

Compared to the little girl's happiness, the soldiers of the Chaotic Ancient Empire have been on tenterhooks these past few days.

He wanted to remind Wang Teng that it was time to leave, but he didn't dare to speak up, fearing that his words would break the happy atmosphere between Wang Teng and Xiao Nannan, and thus cause that person to target him.

A few days later, Wang Teng finally chose to leave.

Before leaving, Wang Teng gave Xiao Nannan a small pink ball and reminded her that if anyone treated her badly in the future, she could throw the ball with all her might.

Seeing this, even the ancient imperial soldiers were speechless.

Because the ball Wang Teng gave out was very unusual!
Those small balls were obtained by Wang Teng from sealing the killing intent of the Great Emperors within his body. He previously had the killing intent of more than a dozen Great Emperors within him, so he only extracted a dozen or so small balls in total.

Each small ball contains the killing intent of an emperor at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Once it erupts, it is equivalent to an ancient emperor at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm unleashing his full power and wantonly destroying everything around him.

Of course, this third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm is not comparable to the cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm outside, but rather to Wang Teng!
It is said to be the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, but in reality, if it were to erupt, even a powerful being from the Immortal Platform Realm might not be able to withstand the killing intent of an ancient emperor!
If this thing were accidentally thrown out, it would be enough to destroy a small to medium-sized force.

"I don't need it." The little girl looked up, her innocent and lovely face full of purity.

"Why?" Wang Teng squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and asked.

"Because everyone is so kind to me! Brother Wang Teng is so kind to me, and another brother named Ye Fan is also so kind to me, and the innkeeper is also so kind to me..."

The little girl counted on her fingers and said very seriously.

Seeing this, Wang Teng couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

The little girl only remembered who was good to her, but not who was bad to her.

"It's alright, you can keep it. Even if you don't want to throw it away, you can play with it like a glass ball," Wang Teng said with a smile.

This color was specially prepared for his little girl; it's a lovely pink that sparkles when held in the hand.

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Wang Teng." The little girl was very happy.

When it was time to say goodbye, the little girl was still very reluctant to leave.

"It's okay, we'll meet again soon. How about I introduce you to a little friend then?" Wang Teng rubbed the little girl's face, comforting her.

"Okay." The little girl's face lit up with a smile again.

After parting ways with Xiao Nannan, Luan Gu Di Bing hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong, senior?" Wang Teng asked.

"Do you want Xiao Nannan and Xiao Erya to meet?" asked the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon.

"Is there a problem?" Wang Teng asked.

"It's nothing, just asking. After all, Xiao Er Ya is from an ancient race, different from humans," the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon reminded her.

"Don't worry, senior, I know what I'm doing," Wang Teng chuckled.

Before leaving the Eastern Wilderness this time, he left Xiao Er Ya in the Supreme Holy Land and asked the people there to take care of her.

On the one hand, Xiao Er Ya was already familiar with the older brothers and sisters in the Supreme Holy Land; on the other hand, one of his own Dao Palace deities was in the Supreme Holy Land, so he could monitor Xiao Er Ya's every move at all times.

"Alright, it's good that you understand. I'm just reminding you that the future isn't always entirely in your control, so you should have some leeway for the worst-case scenario," the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon reminded Wang Teng.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, senior!" Wang Teng always readily accepted good advice. Since the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon had spoken up, it meant that the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon still wanted the best for him. How could Wang Teng possibly refuse such kindness?

After saying goodbye to Xiao Nannan, Wang Teng changed direction and headed towards the Fire Domain.

At that time, Wang Teng's strength was not high, and he did not go deep into the very center of the Fire Domain.

However, Wang Teng's own strength is already quite formidable, and with the help of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon and the Bronze Ring, Wang Teng feels that he should be able to reach the very center of the Fire Domain.

Upon arriving at the Fire Domain, Wang Teng walked directly inside. The first few layers of flames posed no threat to him; even if he were to withstand the flames with his physical body, they would no longer exert any pressure on him.

Having survived three tribulations and undergone a baptism in the abyss of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Wang Teng's physical body now far surpasses that of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body at the same level.

When it comes to physical strength, let alone the Eastern Wilderness, even in the Big Dipper or the entire starry sky, can you find someone with a physical body stronger than Wang Teng's in the same realm?

Therefore, Wang Teng went directly to the seventh floor, where the flames were already five-colored, a level that many powerful beings could not even reach.

But Wang Teng arrived at this floor directly using his physical body.

Upon arriving here, Wang Teng finally felt a faint burning sensation.

Of course, this slight burning sensation was still within his tolerance range.

Even if he goes deeper, he can still withstand it.

Before reaching the eighth floor, Wang Teng saw seven-colored flames.

He was already feeling a slight pain here. If he went any deeper, he would have to fight off the burning flames with all his might. Of course, he still didn't need the protection of the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon and the Bronze Ring.

It wasn't until he entered the eighth floor that Wang Teng felt the pressure.

He needed to fully activate the Imperial Scriptures, using some techniques from the Eternal Universe Imperial Scripture and the Sun Imperial Scripture to resist the scorching flames.

To go any deeper, one would need the protection of the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon and the Bronze Ring.

Wang Teng made a brief stop here, drawing upon the seven-colored flames to fill his spiritual treasury and, incidentally, to temper his source of Dao.

Meanwhile, Qi Hao, far away in the Eastern Wilderness, suddenly changed his aura.

He was already a genius at the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and now his aura is transforming towards the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Many people were speculating what kind of heavenly tribulation Qi Hao would encounter if he broke through, but to everyone's surprise, when Qi Hao successfully broke through and entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, no heavenly tribulation descended.

This shocked and puzzled everyone. How could Qi Hao, with his talent and brilliance, possibly not encounter a heavenly tribulation?
Qi Hao simply replied, "Why should a supreme being need a heavenly tribulation to test them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness became even more dissatisfied with this unruly youth, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

Only after Qi Hao broke through did Wang Teng stand up and look at the ninth level of the Fire Domain.

He was considering whether to delve deeper.

Finally, he stood up and walked forward.
