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

Chapter 397 Returning in Triumph, the Ancient Sage of the White Crane

The calamity clouds dispersed, but Wang Teng was nowhere to be found.

This left many onlookers puzzled and worried.

Wang Teng's previous performance was too dazzling. He underwent two tribulations in a row and fought against six ancient saints during the tribulation.

They didn't see the six ancient saints the instant the tribulation clouds dissipated, so what happened is already quite obvious.

Many people speculate that Wang Teng killed those six ancient saints.

After all, this wasn't the first time Wang Teng had killed someone stronger than him during a heavenly tribulation.

However, before everyone could even celebrate, Wang Teng suddenly summoned another heavenly tribulation, and disappeared under its influence.

This left others completely baffled.

"Is Wang Teng alright?" Princess Yan Ruyu of the demon race asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Wang Teng's strength and background are extraordinary. Even if I die, he might not die," Qi Hao said with a smile.

He is a deity of Wang Teng's Dao Palace. Don't be fooled by his previous nonchalant attitude; if something really happens to Wang Teng, he will be the first to vanish.

He shares the same roots as Wang Teng, so if something happens to Wang Teng, he will be the one most affected.

"That's good." The demon princess nodded.

Although Qi Hao is arrogant and flamboyant, he is also very reliable. He rarely tells lies and is dependable in many matters.

So when Qi Hao spoke, Yan Ruyu didn't dwell on whether what Qi Hao said was true or false.

"Don't worry, even if those ancient saints die ten or eight times, they won't be a threat to Wang Teng," the Black Emperor said with a smile.

"Hmm? Is Wang Teng's background extraordinary?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"As a descendant of an ancient emperor, how could his trump cards be ordinary? Even some holy lands might not have as powerful trump cards as Wang Teng," the Black Emperor said with a smile.

A single supreme imperial weapon capable of complete resurrection at any time and place would be enough to flatten those holy land families that have never produced an ancient emperor.

Not to mention that the Chaotic Ancient Emperor certainly left Wang Teng with more than just this one trump card. As an ancient emperor, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor must have left Wang Teng with multiple backup plans.

“No wonder…” Yan Ruyu nodded gently.

Beneath the veil, her peerless face was thoughtful, her gaze still fixed on the Void Mirror, eager to find that figure within it.

Others are also searching, and those Holy Lords who originally came to provide support are now even more worried.

They paid a heavy price for betting on Wang Teng, even offending those mysterious ancient saints and the forces behind them. If Wang Teng were to perish under the heavenly tribulation, it would be a complete loss for them.

Even the Ji family's Dao-Slaying King, who wielded the Void Mirror, became anxious and spared no effort in activating the Void Mirror to search for Wang Teng's whereabouts.

Finally, in the deepest corner of the enormous crater tens of thousands of feet wide left by the heavenly tribulation, they saw a tattered piece of clothing.

A corner of a blood-stained robe fluttered gently, as if to warn that someone was present.

When they saw this corner of the robe, many people outside the holy city felt a pang of anxiety.

But soon, the corner of the robe moved, and deep within the giant pit, a figure struggled to stand up.

It's Wang Teng.

Although there was blood at the corner of his mouth, he looked to be in very poor condition, his body was tattered, and his face was covered with dried blood, making him look extremely disheveled. Even his original battle robes were in great tatters.

Rather than calling him the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness, Northern Plains, and even Central State, it would be more accurate to describe him as a beggar who has just come from the bottom of society.

Perhaps sensing his own disheveled state, Wang Teng flashed a bright smile in the direction he was being watched.

Then he waved his hand gently, and the golden ancient chariot lay horizontally before him. He entered the golden ancient chariot.

When he came out again, he seemed like a completely different person.

Her demeanor remained elegant and ethereal, clad in a dark battle robe, with a smile on her face, just as always.

Seeing this, many people were relieved.

Especially those holy land families who had invested so much in Wang Teng, when they saw this scene, the weight in their hearts finally lifted, and those holy masters were so excited that they almost shed tears.

After this battle, it was inevitable that Wang Teng would grow into an unparalleled powerhouse.

Even the Great Sage couldn't kill Wang Teng, so it will be very difficult for any powerful figure to target Wang Teng in the future. At the very least, no one at the Sage level can target Wang Teng unless an even stronger figure appears.

But how easy is it for stronger beings to appear?
Everyone knows that Wang Teng's growth is unstoppable.

Amidst the ruins left by the tribulation, Wang Teng looked up and gazed at them.

The giant crater left by the heavenly tribulation was at least several thousand feet deep, which, if converted to meters, would definitely exceed 20,000 meters. In the previous life, it was equivalent to the heavenly tribulation casually carving out a place larger than the Mariana Trench.

"Fortunately, I chose the location before the tribulation, otherwise the Holy City would definitely have been reduced to ruins, and countless lives there would have been affected by me..."

Wang Teng felt a surge of relief.

Even at his current level, Wang Teng still regards living beings as living beings, rather than treating them as "ants" or insignificant tools simply because he has become stronger.

Perhaps this is what distinguishes Wang Teng from many other powerful individuals, and why those powerful figures in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land value Wang Teng so much and are willing to protect him.

After a moment of reflection, Wang Teng drove the golden ancient chariot out of the Heavenly Tribulation Ruins.

After entering the Sendai Secret Realm, Wang Teng's strength even exceeded his previous expectations.

The true dragon of the spine rushed into the Sendai, spreading Wang Teng's divine sense countless times, and his cultivation level also increased rapidly in the process.

In comparison, Wang Teng even felt that the powerful figures he had previously encountered could only be described as "pseudo-powerful figures".

Compared to Wang Teng at this moment, some powerful beings were not as strong as he was now in terms of aura strength, divine sense strength, and other aspects.

"Perhaps this is the 'Eternity' in the Sacred Ruins?" Wang Teng guessed.

On the way back to the Holy City, Wang Teng did not use the domain gate. He personally drove the golden ancient war chariot, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning, and in an instant, he had already traveled tens of thousands of miles. "Very good. You are now able to unleash most of the power of this holy weapon. Once you reach the Dao-Slaying King realm, you should be able to unleash the full power of this holy weapon."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God appeared in Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Bitterness, and couldn't help but marvel at Wang Teng's current state.

He didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear: when Wang Teng reaches the realm of the Dao-Slaying King, he will be able to attack a Saint even without the help of Heavenly Tribulation and the power of a legendary holy weapon.

As a supreme imperial weapon, he possesses the memories of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and can be considered an extension of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor. However, even after searching through the memories of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon could not find anyone as outstanding as Wang Teng.

Even those who chased the Chaotic Ancient Emperor the longest back then, those who were known as peerless geniuses and possessed the qualifications to become emperors, and were called the most powerful people in history by the beings of that time, were not as powerful as Wang Teng was now, even when they first entered the Sendai Secret Realm.

Wang Teng's power has even exceeded the initial imagination of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God.

"What are these eight restrictions, nine restrictions, and divine restrictions? Even if a true powerhouse appeared before you now, you could defeat them," said the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God.

The so-called Eight Forbidden Zones are merely the limits of ordinary people. True geniuses are able to reach the Divine Forbidden Zones much earlier, just like Wang Teng at this moment.

"I'm powerful now, but I still have a long way to go."

Even before the ancient imperial weapons and deities, Wang Teng remained humble.

"You're still too modest. Young people should show their talents. Back then, that guy Luan Gu was hunted down so badly, but he still showed his talents. He would rather be hunted down than hide his identity to exchange for peace," said the deity of the Luan Gu Imperial Weapon.

"It hasn't been long, and you've already reached this level. You were able to suppress and kill powerful beings as soon as you entered the Sendai Secret Realm, and you even killed seven ancient saints during the Heavenly Tribulation. I'm afraid even Xiaohe would be very surprised if he saw this." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon God continued.

The little crane he mentioned was the same crane that had once taken Wang Teng to cultivate various techniques and brought him opportunities.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng hasn't seen that crane since he was a teenager, and it's been about six or seven years since then.

That crane was actually an ancient saint who had been protecting Wang Teng since he was a child. However, after Wang Teng obtained the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon, the crane stopped paying much attention to him. Perhaps it felt that the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon was a more powerful protector.

"By the way, is Senior Crane still in Beiyuan?" Hearing the Ancient Emperor's weapon mention Little Crane, Wang Teng also remembered the crane that had taken care of him a lot when he was young.

Previously, he had been busy with his cultivation and self-improvement, and had hardly stopped to think about these things. Now, when he recalls that crane, his heart is filled with longing.

If it weren't for that crane, there probably wouldn't be the Wang Teng from the original story, nor would there be the Wang Teng of today.

"He's doing well right now. You probably don't know that he's currently keeping an eye on your sister for you. On one hand, it's to protect her, and on the other hand, it's to keep an eye on her and prevent the ancient clan memories within her from reviving and causing any impact on those around you," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor God said with a smile.

Wang Teng was taken aback; he really didn't know about this.

It turned out that the crane elder had not gone far away, but had stayed to help him take care of Wang Erya, which was something Wang Teng had not expected.

When he was heading to Zhongzhou, he thought that he might encounter many battles and come into contact with those dynasties. If he rashly took Xiao Erya there, it might cause some disputes and troubles. So he left Wang Erya in the Supreme Holy Land.

Unexpectedly, Senior Crane also stayed behind in secret.

"Hehe, you'll see him when you get back." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God chuckled.

Wang Teng nodded and continued to steer the golden ancient chariot at lightning speed through the sky.

With his current cultivation level, if he were to ride a legendary holy weapon-grade golden ancient war chariot, he could travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. A distance of several million miles would not be very long for him.

So soon, the powerful figures outside the holy city saw a golden lightning bolt rushing from the sky.

"This speed... is already comparable to mine!" A powerful figure in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

He knew that the place where Wang Teng underwent his tribulation was millions of miles away from here, but Wang Teng returned in just a short while, a speed that even surpassed his own speed when traversing the void.

"Don't overthink it. He's driving an ancient war chariot that's a legendary holy weapon! But even if I were driving a legendary holy weapon, I wouldn't be as fast as Wang Teng..." another powerful figure said.

Not to mention them, even the holy lords of those holy land families were filled with shock at this moment.

Those who can become the Holy Lords of Holy Land Families are at least top-tier experts, just one step away from becoming Dao-Slaying Kings, but even they were shocked by Wang Teng's speed.

They asked themselves if they could travel millions of miles at that speed if they were piloting a sacred weapon. But even they couldn't come to a definite conclusion.

The inability to determine the outcome already implies the result.

When the golden lightning bolt reached the outside of the holy city, it finally slowed down.

Wang Teng's figure, riding the golden ancient chariot, appeared before everyone. This time, even without the aid of the Void Mirror, everyone could clearly see Wang Teng.

Wang Teng stood atop the golden ancient chariot, full of vigor and with a smile on his face. He exuded the aura of a master from the Sendai Secret Realm, and in the eyes of some, he even surpassed some great powers.

Upon seeing Wang Changgui's group of Saint-level figures, they immediately stood up and went out to greet Wang Teng.

Although Wang Teng has not yet become a great power, in the hearts of those holy masters, Wang Teng is now qualified to be on equal footing with them.

Not only did the Holy Lords go to greet Wang Teng, but the powerful figures from the Supreme Holy Land were also exceptionally enthusiastic, and other powerful figures also greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Those younger people who were close to Wang Teng were unable to get in.

Princess Yan Ruyu of the demon race looked at the people in front of her and did not push her way through.

She remained standing among the group from the Supreme Holy Land, holding the Demon Emperor's Weapon, raising her head with her eyes fixed on Wang Teng.

In the crowd, Wang Teng also raised his head and looked in the direction of the Supreme Holy Land.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Wang Teng smiled, nodded slightly to Yan Ruyu, and then began to deal with the group of powerful figures beside him.

After finally getting through the formalities, someone suggested celebrating Wang Teng's successful tribulation.

However, Wang Teng did not agree.

"It's too early now. Those predecessors who fought for me are still fighting hard on the battlefields beyond our borders. Let's wait until they return," Wang Teng said.

Although he dealt with seven ancient saints, some still escaped, namely those ancient saints who went to the outer battlefield.

"Let me go."

Just as Wang Teng finished speaking, a voice came from the crowd.

A white crane spread its wings and walked gracefully, like a dancer, to Wang Teng.
