Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "If you were taken to my hometown, perhaps you would suffer the same fate."

"Where would you rank in terms of strength in your hometown?" Lin Qianyu was very curious. She knew from ancient history that the Burial Emperor Star was the most difficult ancient land for humankind to live in.

Qianlong shook his head again. He didn't know either. The Burial Emperor Star was full of hidden talents and powerful figures.

There are many types of special physiques, but in the Eternal Starfield, there are only a few types of special physiques.

"If you can last a hundred rounds against me, I will take you away from this place and follow me. I will lead you on the ancient trial path of the human race," Lin Qianyu said confidently. She was very curious about the environment on the Burial Emperor Star.

Because in the Eternal Starfield, among the younger generation, almost no one can defeat Qianlong.

Upon hearing that he could leave, Qianlong's heart stirred. He raised his head, revealing a handsome face with a glint in his eyes, nodded, and said, "Alright, what if I defeat you?"

Lin Qianyu was taken aback by these words, then her lips curled up slightly as she confidently said, "Defeat me? You're not good enough. But if you really can defeat me, I'll marry you and follow you. In the Eternal Starfield, you'll be the king of the younger generation."

As the strongest and number one among the younger generation in the Eternal Kingdom, she has almost never been defeated.

call

Qianlong stopped speaking and began to adjust his aura. His strength began to rise, and the void visibly began to distort.

His physique is very unique; it is also a divine body that can influence the void and the universe. His physical body is also extremely powerful.

"boom!"

A surge of blood energy, like smoke from a wolf's beak, burst forth from the top of his head, shattering the clouds and turning the sky crimson. The vast blood energy surged and churned.

“From the day I was born until now, I have only lost once, but I will not lose a second time.” Qianlong’s fighting spirit burned, his tone filled with a certain anger and fighting intent.

Lin Qianyu was stunned. She hadn't expected Qianlong to be so powerful that he had overwhelmed the younger generation of the Eternal Kingdom and made them unable to lift their heads. He had actually been defeated.

"boom!"

The war broke out instantly.

Qianlong clenched his fists and slammed them towards Lin Qianyu in front of him. In an instant, the void twisted and formed two black holes, shattering the sword intent emanating from Lin Qianyu.

The fist light was dazzling, and the fist force covered all directions, forming a cage of fist intent.

The instant the attack began, a huge phantom appeared behind Qianlong and also attacked.

Lin Qianyu stood quietly in place, her jade-like hands raising the long Miao sword, the tip of which was pointed at the ground, and gently placed it down.

With a clang, the sword intent swept out like a whirlwind, destroying Qianlong's fist intent.

Xu Changqing watched quietly. He himself was also a swordsman, so he could naturally sense that Lin Qianyu's sword intent was very strong, but compared to his, it was still a little weaker.

"boom!"

The arena was filled with boiling energy and dazzling light. The intent of fist and sword intertwined and finally exploded in mid-air, cracking the void. The tip of the sword flashed with divine light and slashed sideways.

Ding, Ding

On the battlefield, sparks flew, energy surged, laws transformed into raging winds, and brilliant light erupted. Blood spurted out from time to time, and the battle grew increasingly fierce.

Many people present held their breath.

Many people were still shouting, while others were quietly watching the battle between the two.

As time passed, the battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce, and bloodshed began to break out.

Lin Qianyu hadn't expected that no matter how powerful she was, she wouldn't gain much advantage against Qianlong.

Although she maintained the upper hand, her opponent never showed any signs of defeat.

"I admit, I underestimated you." After unleashing a devastating sword strike, Lin Qianyu retreated and stood in mid-air, speaking softly.

The two had been fighting for three thousand rounds, which surprised Lin Qianyu greatly. She thought that with her cultivation level, she would be able to easily defeat Qianlong, but she did not expect that she was too confident.

Several marks appeared on Qianlong's handsome face, and blood dripped from his face. He did not show much expression. He simply wiped the blood off his face and said, "Your swordsmanship is still a little inferior to that of my old friend."

He was referring to Xu Changqing, who was so badly attacked back then that he questioned his existence.

"Oh? There's actually someone in the younger generation who can surpass me in swordsmanship?" Lin Qianyu was very surprised and curious.

If she were to unleash her full power, she could fight a saint to a draw.

"If this is all the strength you have, you're not qualified to embark on the path to heaven and encounter people from my hometown, especially those two." Qianlong stood tall and proud, his injuries not hindering his swagger.

Within the Big Dipper constellation, they may fight amongst themselves, but in the vastness of space, they might unite.

"Who are those two people?" Lin Qianyu asked.

"Only when you defeat me will you be qualified to know." As soon as Qianlong finished speaking, he directly used his supernatural power, his fists shaking the heavens and earth.

A slight smile appeared on Lin Qianyu's lips. Her originally watery eyes turned incredibly sharp, her hair moved without wind, and an endless aura of sword intent began to spread. She said coldly, "I will no longer hold back!"

boom!

With a loud bang, an extremely dazzling light burst forth from Lin Qianyu's crown chakra. At the same time, her aura began to rise, and the energy fluctuations became even more violent and terrifying.

Those present were stunned by what they saw, and the younger generation even stood up, staring wide-eyed at Lin Qianyu.

Lin Qianyu, who originally only had the strength of a half-saint, now exuded an extremely profound aura, and her momentum once rivaled that of a saint. With every move she made, the void shattered.

Qianlong's pupils contracted as he saw a scene that was extremely familiar. It was the same scene that Xu Changqing had witnessed during his great battle years ago.

"Eight prohibitions!"

Several high-achieving students sitting next to Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 18 Meeting Qianlong

For these people, the Eight Forbidden Zones are legendary forbidden areas, a height that countless chosen ones cannot reach. Perhaps only one or two people in a single Ancient Land of Life can enter the Eight Forbidden Zones, or even none at all.

The younger generation of the Eternal Starfield were all excited and shouted wildly. It would be a great honor to follow such a figure.

“The Eight Forbidden Realms, that’s a realm that so many people want to reach. Even I am only below the Eight Forbidden Realms.” The man sitting next to Xu Changqing said bitterly, glancing at Xu Changqing.

However, Xu Changqing remained calm, without any fluctuation, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

In the Big Dipper Starfield, there are several people who openly or secretly possess the strength of the Eighth Forbidden Realm.

As far as Xu Changqing knew, there were Ximo's Buddhist disciples, Bodhi Maiden, and some special forces, such as the Feathered Divine Child and a Holy Spirit.

Only he and that woman were able to enter the forbidden area.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a vast sword intent appeared on the battlefield, sweeping across like a tornado. The sharp sword intent transformed into a gale, causing Qianlong to tremble all over, his clothes torn, and his body to be covered with countless visible wounds.

"You have persevered for thousands of rounds, and you are qualified to follow me." Lin Qianyu's eyes shone with divine light, her black hair tied in a ponytail danced wildly, and her black robe fluttered in the wind from her sword intent.

She stood in mid-air, like a female war goddess, her eyes shining with divine light as she stared intently at Qianlong, whose face was gradually returning to normal.

The Miao sword was pointed at the crouching Qianlong. The sky darkened and countless sword energies transformed into a giant dragon behind Lin Qianyu. The huge dragon head stared intently at Qianlong, spewing out endless sword intent.

Qianlong's face was extremely pale and he looked very unwell, but he still nodded and replied, "I mean what I say."

A century ago, he encountered the rising Xu Changqing and was defeated.

A hundred years later, in the Eternal Starfield, he encountered Lin Qianyu and was defeated.

He acted as if he had a grudge against the powerful figures of the Eight Forbidden Realms.

"Hoo~" Qianlong cleared his mind, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and murmured, "This is my strongest move. I used it against that man back then."

Xu Changqing watched with great interest as Qianlong gathered his strength. Back then, Qianlong had caused him a lot of trouble with that move, and he had even been at a disadvantage for a time, but things might be different now.

Back then, he was just a dragon-transformation cultivator and not particularly powerful, but things are different now.

"The universe trembles, heaven and earth shatter, the fist is as powerful as Mount Tai, shaking countless valleys, as heavy as the primordial chaos."

The Dao sound emanated, and the heavenly sound of the Great Dao shook the starry sky. Golden ripples were exhaled from Qianlong's mouth, and the area around him began to distort, with countless black holes appearing in the space.

His fists radiated holy light, drawing upon the brilliance of stars from beyond the realm, as if celestial light were entering his fists.

A massive amount of runes erupted from the top of his head, eventually merging into the black hole beside him, creating a hazy, vast world.

The profound aura rippled outwards like waves, instantly isolating Lin Qianyu's sword intent.

"boom!"

A refreshing breeze

Xiao, his blood energy instantly receded, and all the infinite profound laws converged into Qianlong's fists, turning them into a purplish-gold color, like a piece of immortal gold, looking extremely hard.

Behind him, nine starry skies appeared, overlapping each other and moving with his fist.

"kill!"

With a loud shout, Qianlong charged directly at Lin Qianyu in mid-air. His combat power seemed to have increased several times. He had only taken one step when he arrived in front of Lin Qianyu in an instant.

Then, his purple-gold fist smashed down, and a universe behind him was suppressed in the process.

In an instant, the entire arena was filled with starlight, as if a real starry sky had been cut off and refined within the arena.

With an unparalleled aura, it pressed down, and Lin Qianyu instantly felt as if she were carrying an ancient divine mountain on her back, incredibly heavy.

Xu Changqing glanced at it a few times and knew that Qianlong was going to lose again. There was nothing he could do; the Eight Forbidden Rules were just that abnormal.

"Clang, bang!"

Sure enough, after Qianlong threw nine punches, his energy and spirit began to decline, and Lin Qianyu was also injured, with her tiger's mouth split open and her face swollen from the blows.

However, half of Qianlong's face was cleaved open, one of his hands was cut off, and three deadly, gruesome knife wounds appeared on his chest.

A long Miao sword was pressed against his neck, and blood dripped instantly from the tip of the blade.

"You lost." Lin Qianyu looked at Qianlong with cold eyes, the long sword in her hand trembling slightly.

Because Qianlong's iron fists were too terrifying, they caused her to experience severe pain.

At this moment, Qianlong calmed down and accepted his defeat with equanimity, saying, "I lost. As agreed, I will follow you to conquer the starry sky."

Seeing Qianlong say this, Lin Qianyu also sheathed her long sword, healed her injuries, turned around, leaving Qianlong with a dashing back view, and said, "Come with me, I'll take you out."

Qianlong stood up from the ground and stood in the center of the arena, which was surrounded by countless onlookers, facing Xu Changqing.

He looked at the white-haired man with his hair parted in a 3:7 ratio and felt that the aura was definitely that of the man.

His divine body is the Qiankun Body. He once fought with Xu Changqing and is extremely familiar with Xu Changqing's aura. Even if Xu Changqing's aura has changed or become more restrained, his original aura will not change.

He faced Xu Changqing, opened his mouth, but didn't speak. Although the two had been enemies, he had no intention of harming Xu Changqing or exposing him now.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing stood up and walked directly out of the passage.
