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

Chapter 396 Suppressing an Ancient Saint, Breaking the Limits of Heavenly Tribulation

Amidst the heavenly tribulation, a group of ancient saints were filled with shock and fear.

They hadn't expected Wang Teng to make a move and summon such a powerful being.

Their cultivation level was completely suppressed—no, it can no longer be said that their cultivation level was suppressed; their current cultivation level has simply disappeared!

Not long ago, they were still high and mighty ancient saints, but now they are already cultivators of the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm!
Their pride and joy in their cultivation vanished completely after that delicate hand reached out!

It's not just their cultivation level, but also the vitality and energy within their bodies!

Everything they had was stripped away by that delicate hand, and they truly became cultivators of the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm!
At this moment, the ancient saints were filled with shock and regret.

They could have continued to seal themselves away, waiting for the right time to break the seal and emerge from the mountains, enjoying the worship of everyone and radiating the light of ancient saints.

But nowadays, let alone radiating the light of the ancient saints, whether they can even leave alive is an unknown.

"How do you all feel?" Wang Teng asked with a smile, looking at the group of shocked and bewildered ancient saints in front of him.

Originally, he planned to deal with these ancient saints himself. After all, he had experience fighting ancient saints of the same realm. These ancient saints might seem very powerful to outsiders and almost impossible to defeat, but to Wang Teng, these ancient saints were not even as good as the desolate slaves in the desolate ancient forbidden land.

Those who can become Wilderness Slaves are either extremely powerful to begin with, or they were later transformed in the Ancient Wilderness Forbidden Land.

Although they lose consciousness after becoming slaves of the wilderness, they are transformed by the power of the ancient forbidden land and gradually adapt to its power, becoming stronger than before.

Not to mention that after Wang Teng arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, those Desolate Slaves regained their senses, and after they took the initiative to cultivate, their strength became even greater.

Originally, those barbarian slaves were already among the best in their realm, and after they were able to cultivate on their own initiative, their strength increased even more.

Those barbarian slaves were already considered among the best in their class.

When fighting those people, Wang Teng felt much more pressure.

Even so, Wang Teng had both wins and losses when fighting those people, let alone these so-called ancient saints nowadays.

In a battle between beings of the same realm, Wang Teng was far stronger than these ancient saints!

As a result, Wang Teng did not feel much pressure when facing these ancient sages.

"Who exactly is behind you?!" the Great Sage asked, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.

Even the fate of a quasi-emperor shouldn't have shocked him so much.

However, the owner of that delicate hand was clearly not just a quasi-emperor!

As a Great Sage, he had seen Quasi-Emperors before, but even the strongest Quasi-Emperor he had ever seen did not have the same oppressive feeling as that giant hand.

Let alone a quasi-emperor, even one of the ancient emperors he had ever met did not have the same oppressive feeling as that giant hand.

That delicate hand merely reached out, doing nothing, yet it completely erased the realms of these ancient saints, and even stripped them of their life force.

This method reminded him of some rumors about their lineage, so he asked Wang Teng for some information.

"Didn't you already figure it out?" Wang Teng chuckled and said.

This Great Sage is the powerful figure behind the lineage of the Holy Son of Yao Guang, and he shares the same lineage as the watchdog of the Supreme Holy Land.

Wang Teng had already seen through the opponent's move from the very beginning, but he didn't make a fuss and treated this Great Sage as an ordinary opponent.

But now that this Great Sage has spoken, Wang Teng is not stingy in letting him understand all this before he dies.

In any case, during the Heavenly Tribulation, let alone a Great Saint whose cultivation has been severed, even if he is at his peak, it would be difficult for him to send messages out from within the Heavenly Tribulation.

"What!" The Great Sage was shocked upon hearing this.

But the next moment he showed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder you are so powerful, no wonder the Holy Son targeted you so many times, yet you still managed to escape danger! No wonder our lineage's attacks on you have had no effect!"

Wang Teng calmly watched the other person's shock.

For him, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

If the Holy Son of Yaoguang finds out the truth in the future, he will probably be even more shocked.

Among the six ancient saints present, this Great Saint was not the only one from that lineage.

When another ancient sage overheard the conversation between the Great Sage and Wang Teng, he was equally shocked.

However, the other four ancient saints came from different forces, and after hearing the conversation between the two, they still didn't know what had happened and felt very confused.

"Who exactly are you?!" another unsuspecting ancient saint asked, his voice filled with shock.

He never imagined that he would be defeated by a junior, nor did he ever imagine that his proud cultivation would be completely stripped away because of a junior.

"I am Wang Teng, a young man from the Northern Plains. Of course, from this day forward, others may call me the Northern Emperor Wang Teng."

Wang Teng smiled and began to speak.

After this battle, whether he concealed his abilities or not, he had come into everyone's view.

Therefore, it's better to be flamboyant and draw the attention of most beings in the world of Shrouding the Heavens to yourself.

“He is a descendant of the Ruthless Great Emperor! Much closer to him than our lineage! If I’m not mistaken, the hand that just appeared should belong to that Great Emperor!” The only Great Sage present spoke with a solemn expression.

He was a descendant of one of the Ruthless Great Emperor's lineages, and he knew a great deal about many things concerning the Ruthless Great Emperor. But it was precisely because of this knowledge that he was filled with shock at this moment.

"Impossible! That emperor was a powerful figure from hundreds of thousands of years ago! Even ancient emperors should have perished by now, how could he possibly be alive today! Let alone target us!"

Another skeptical ancient saint looked grim and immediately spoke up, expressing his disbelief that what the great saint had said was true.

The other ancient saints also looked grim; they refused to believe it was true.

After all, anyone who hears that an ancient emperor from hundreds of thousands of years ago is still alive and is attacking them would likely be skeptical at first.

These ancient sages, sealed away for so many years, have witnessed so much history. Some of them even lived through the era of more than one great emperor, and some ancient sages even met the great emperors many times.

But that's precisely why they were filled with disbelief when they heard about it.

"Are you questioning the strength of our lineage? Our quasi-emperors and another powerful figure still believe that that person is still alive, and they worship and cultivate that person's legacy. Do you think our lineage is a joke?"

The Great Sage's face was very ugly as he spoke.

That's why he was filled with disbelief.

They had been searching for that being for so long, yet they had never seen its true form. But just now, one of the little creatures they were targeting actually summoned that being. For a moment, even the Great Sage found it unbelievable, wondering if what they had insisted on for so long might not be accurate.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The other ancient saints' faces were extremely grim. They never imagined they would experience such a thing. They had only appeared to target a mere child, so how could they have attracted the attention of an ancient emperor?
"Alright, everyone, now that you know about this, you can set off now," Wang Teng said with a light laugh.

“Young friend… no, young master! We are of the same lineage, we should not kill each other here!” the Great Sage hurriedly said.

His voice even carried a hint of flattery and pleading.

This is in stark contrast to his initial arrogant attitude and resolute determination to fight to the death.

It's quite remarkable to get a great sage like that.

Perhaps it was to save his life, or perhaps it was because they saw the connection between Wang Teng and their lineage, that he so urgently pleaded with Wang Teng to spare his life.

however,
“You and I are not of the same lineage, and you are not worthy to join mine,” Wang Teng said calmly.

The so-called "his lineage" refers to the wild slaves who once trained with him; those people were the other core figures in the ancient forbidden land besides the Empress.

Apart from these people, others who claim to belong to this lineage have little to do with it.

"No! I am a branch of your lineage. I have a deep connection with your lineage, and I have always practiced your lineage's techniques..."

The Great Sage immediately spoke up, urgently pleading with Wang Teng to let him live.

If that delicate hand hadn't appeared, even if Wang Teng had suppressed him, he wouldn't have given in, and would have even gone to great lengths to drag Wang Teng down with him.

But now he has only one thought in his mind: to survive and to see the owner of that fair hand.

However, Wang Teng didn't give him that chance at all.

Even after his cultivation was severed, the Great Sage continued to plead desperately. Wang Teng remained calm, walked over, and then unleashed the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Upon witnessing this scene, the ancient sages around confirmed that Wang Teng was indeed that person's successor!

“Since you are so sincere, then leave all your cultivation to our lineage,” Wang Teng said calmly.

He placed his hand on the Great Sage's head, unleashing the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to frantically extract everything from the opponent, ultimately condensing it in his palm into a small ball of light.

This seemingly ordinary ball of light contains the cultivation of the Great Sage in the first half of his life, at least the cultivation and insights he gained in the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm.

If this thing were given to an ordinary cultivator, it would definitely benefit them greatly, but in Wang Teng's hands, it was no different from a pile of trash.

With a slight exertion, the ball of light in his hand shattered and vanished along with the Great Sage.

The Great Sage was thus easily killed by Wang Teng!

After witnessing the fall of the Great Sage, the remaining powerful figures looked even more grim.

“Young friend, I have some connection with your lineage. The powerful figure behind me is an old acquaintance of that Empress. Please be lenient. If our powerful figures meet in the future, we can sit down and talk.” Another ancient saint spoke up. Although the content of his words was relatively normal, his tone carried a faint plea, and his voice trembled slightly.

It's impossible for him not to feel fear when a great sage, who is countless times more powerful than him, falls right before his eyes.

His cultivation has already been reduced; if he were to lose his life here, it would be the end for him.

If he manages to escape alive, even without his ancient saint cultivation level, he can rely on his past cultivation experience to start cultivating again. With the help of powerful figures behind him, he still has a great chance to return to the ancient saint realm in the future.

So he didn't want to die.

"You think you're worthy?" Wang Teng said calmly.

The power of immortality erupted. A dazzling light flashed, and the ancient saint who had just spoken was instantly killed.

Two of the seven ancient saints who wanted to kill Wang Teng perished in an instant, and the remaining five were all in danger, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Wang Teng.

At this point, they knew that pleading was pointless. The two who had spoken earlier had been ruthlessly killed by Wang Teng, so even if they wanted to beg Wang Teng to show mercy, it would be useless.

Looking at the five ancient saints who were calmly awaiting their fate, Wang Teng smiled and killed them one by one.

The seven ancient saints were killed one by one in the sea of ​​heavenly tribulation lightning.

Keep in mind that this is only the first Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Saint's explosion that formed the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Sea!
Besides this one Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Saint, there are five other Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Saints who have not been defeated.

Before the sea of ​​lightning had even dissipated, Wang Teng rushed out, or rather, he carried this vast sea of ​​lightning to confront the other five Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Saints.

The area is sealed off by the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Sea, preventing outsiders from seeing it. Therefore, Wang Teng can act more freely, using whatever moves are powerful.

The so-called Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Saint couldn't even withstand Wang Teng's single strike of Immortal Light.

In a battle between beings of the same realm, if Wang Teng were to unleash the Empress's legacy, he would be delivering a devastating blow to any living being!
If he were to go all out and combine it with the various inheritances he possessed, Wang Teng felt that he could easily reach the Eighth Forbidden Level!

Even the legendary forbidden realms are not without a chance of being touched!

The five ancient saints who had been subjected to Heavenly Tribulation endured six moves from Wang Teng before transforming into five seas of lightning that enveloped him!
The six seas of lightning erupted simultaneously; even powerful beings who entered would be reduced to ashes by the heavenly tribulation.

Even Wang Teng suffered cuts and bruises when facing these heavenly tribulations, his body was shattered several times, and he struggled to rebuild himself.

But the more this happened, the more excited he became. In the end, he even used his divine sense to hold the Source of the Dao and actively rushed to the very center of the sea of ​​thunder to receive the baptism of lightning.

When the sea of ​​lightning dissipated, the tribulation clouds in mid-air seemed reluctant to leave, still lingering there.

Wang Teng reassembled his body for the last time, looking at the heavenly tribulation in the sky with a defiant gaze.

boom!
The tribulation clouds surged once more, condensing to cover an area of ​​200,000 li in radius. In the end, they transformed into a bolt of lightning ten thousand feet thick, almost piercing the entire sky, and struck directly at Wang Teng.

"Is this a farewell to me?" Wang Teng chuckled and took the initiative to greet him.

The Sendai Heavenly Tribulation is just the Sendai Heavenly Tribulation; no matter how powerful it seems, it won't break the limits by too much.

Therefore, Wang Teng remained full of confidence.

But to others, Wang Teng's actions were no different from suicide!
"Hiss... Let's prepare for a grand funeral." Qi Hao said, instructing the Peacock King and the others beside him to prepare for the funeral.

“I want to sit at the same table as the saintesses,” the Black Emperor said cheerfully from the side.

The people around looked at each other strangely, thinking to themselves that this man and his dog were quite adept at getting things done.

After the lightning bolt that pierced the heavens and earth dissipated, no one saw Wang Teng again.

For a moment, the group of people were filled with shock and confusion.

"No, where is Wang Teng?"

"Are you really going to have a big celebration?"
