Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

In the time that followed, he traveled through countless worlds, his cultivation becoming increasingly profound, and he collected the complete versions of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Ruthless Heaven Art.

He refined his skills again and again, but he always had a sense of being watched.

This was due to his heightened senses developed after countless battles.

"Is it the underworld?" Emperor Chaos muttered to himself. He still wanted to find the underworld to avenge his past grievances.

But it couldn't be found; the secrets of heaven remained shrouded in mystery.

Time flies, and five thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor had crafted the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman, a life-saving artifact, and he planned to venture into the forbidden zone to try his luck.

His cultivation has reached its pinnacle.

Even if the restricted area didn't provoke him, he was just too lonely.

wanna die.

I have nothing left, I just want to find a sense of existence.

Moreover, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes.

"Taking one or two supreme beings with me before I die might not be a bad choice." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor suddenly smiled. He had nothing left, and after becoming an emperor, he had lost his purpose.

The pursuit of immortality?

He didn't want to, because having only lived for five thousand years, he had already felt loneliness and solitude.

Even

He didn't even want to live in his second life.

Within the Big Dipper Starfield, a golden road traversed countless starfields and descended directly.

"The Chaotic Ancient Emperor!"

Countless people shouted, and numerous powers of faith appeared. A white red-crowned crane shrank and stood on the shoulder of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

The next moment, countless people saw the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, with a fierce expression on his face and holding the Chaotic Ancient Axe, storm into the Undying Mountain.

However, what was exciting was that no major battle broke out; instead, one aura was locked onto by more than a dozen auras.

But the Chaotic Ancient Emperor still ventured deep into the area, sat down beside the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and began to comprehend the Dao.

A hundred years later, he picked all the tea leaves from the Enlightenment Tea Plantation. Finally, he searched through all the forbidden zones, but no supreme being came forward to make a move.

The warnings were merely subtle, but the Chaotic Ancient Emperor completely ignored them.

Finally, he arrived outside the desolate forbidden area, where the feeling of being spied on was even stronger.

"It's the creatures inside spying on me." The Chaotic Emperor frowned, then chose to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

The terrifying laws of time and the black mist there were actually able to affect him.

Upon entering the desolate forbidden land, they saw the elixir of immortality beside the nine divine springs, though it had been separated.

This method startled the Chaotic Ancient Emperor; dividing the elixir of immortality into nine parts was something even he couldn't do.

As soon as he entered the desolate forbidden land, he saw a black-haired youth sitting cross-legged on a huge rock. Behind the youth was an incomparably dazzling immortal path.

"A Great Accomplished Sacred Body?" The Chaotic Ancient Emperor was quite surprised. He did not expect that there would be a Great Accomplished Sacred Body here, and that it was at its peak. Just its aura was not much different from that of an emperor.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body opened its eyes, saw the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, smiled slightly, looked him over, and said, "Not bad, your Dao heart is unbreakable. The two Heavenly Emperors have been observing you for thousands of years."

"Two Heavenly Emperors?!"

P.S.: Should we let Luan Gu survive, or go to the restricted area for a final push?

Chapter 165 A Question from Chaotic Ancient Times

Nine sacred mountains in the desolate forbidden land are planted with the Nine Wonders of Immortality Medicine. White mist envelops the area like clouds, and towering peaks that seem like sharp swords.

The old trees are lush and verdant, with a huge abyss at its center that leads straight down to the ground. Not far away, countless snow-white skeletons stand, and the terrifying laws of time seem capable of snatching away the lifespan of living beings in an instant.

In the past two hundred thousand years, several great emperors have appeared in the world, and several forbidden zones have been visited by them. However, the Ancient Forbidden Land is the only place where even great emperors are affected when they enter.

Moreover, this is the only forbidden area that has not been the site of any dark upheaval.

For so many years, no one has dared to set foot here, filled with awe.

Many people know that tens of thousands of years ago, a terrifying phenomenon appeared here. With the cry of an infant, the phenomenon transformed into celestial light and entered the area, and an extraordinary baby was born.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor had thick black hair and looked incredibly heroic. Dressed in black, he stood outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, leading many to believe that he was about to destroy this mysterious forbidden zone.

But what people saw was a tall, imposing young man in a golden robe standing on the edge of the abyss, talking to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

Luan Gu's expression changed drastically. Looking at the Great Accomplished Holy Body, he couldn't help but say, "Are you saying that the two Heavenly Emperors have been watching me grow up all along?"

"Does that sense of being watched originate from them?"

Besides those two Heavenly Emperors, who else in history has been mentioned?

He had received an opportunity from the Empress, although it was only a fragment of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, it still played a huge role in his transformation into a demonic fetus.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body nodded and said, "The Heavenly Emperor thinks your path to rise is somewhat similar to his. They'll see how far you can grow."

"To be honest, I had lost interest in you after seeing you fail again and again back then, but I never expected that you would be able to persevere in the end and turn everything around to become an emperor."

No one knows how interesting the Great Accomplished Holy Body looked back then. He was questioning his life. If such a person could become an emperor, why couldn't they destroy their golden bodies?

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to the two Heavenly Emperors." The Great Accomplished Holy Body gestured for them to proceed.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor stepped forward and descended into the abyss. He immediately felt a terrifying aura, and his vital energy almost flowed out of his body.

He couldn't help but sigh. The center was truly bizarre, actually affecting even a Great Emperor-level expert. It was mysterious and terrifyingly powerful, and there was also a terrifying sword intent that raged around at all times. Fortunately, no killing intent appeared.

Otherwise, the mystery and eeriness here will attack you in an instant.

After entering the desolate forbidden land, he had mixed feelings. The two Heavenly Emperors were still alive, and his rise to power was all thanks to the cultivation techniques of the three Great Emperors.

The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor's Dao-Severing Technique: Severing emotions is severing the self, and one must comprehend one's own Great Dao.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor relied on the Ruthless Heavenly Art to create the "Severing Myself to Understand the Dao," which involved severing his own origin, purifying his own origin, and then understanding the essence of himself.

Based on the concept of "Heaven's Will, One Blade," he created the Heaven-Opening Axe.

The Empress's Devouring Heaven Demon Art allowed her to transform into a demonic fetus, successfully reversing everything.

The Void Emperor's cultivation techniques enabled him to create treasures such as the Chaotic Ancient Secret Technique, Eternal Exile, and Annihilation of the Ten Directions.

Deep beneath the abyss lie vast ruins; it is unknown how long these ruins have existed.

Ancient times. Just stepping into this place, the laws that come your way are different from those in the outside world. It is as if this place is isolated from heaven and earth. The laws are ancient, and the aura of the Great Dao is still from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The deeper one goes, the more astonishing the aura becomes, almost capable of stripping the emperor of his life force!

The Great Accomplished Holy Body remained silent, leading the Chaotic Ancient Emperor into the depths. As for the ability to deprive the emperor of his life essence, it had no effect on him; in other words, it wasn't targeted at him.

Boom!

The next moment, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor saw a huge stone gate in front of him opening with a rumble, and immortal mist surged out, like the Yellow River breaking through its dam, with white mist surging outwards like the rushing Yellow River.

Inside was a strange world, which made the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's eyelids twitch. In a daze, he thought he had arrived at the end of the path to immortality, in front of the Heavenly Gate.

A moment later, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor arrived at the deepest part, where there was an incomparably dazzling immortal path. On the immortal path was a courtyard and a medicinal field planted with many immortal herbs and divine medicines.

The Great Emperor of Chaos's expression changed drastically. All the immortal elixirs of the heavens had vanished; they were here all along.

Nourished by immortal matter and divine light.

As he continued forward, in the deepest part of the central immortal path, a man and a woman sat cross-legged in front of him. They were surrounded by terrifying chaotic energy, making it difficult even for him to see their true faces.

His face was obscured, but his white hair cascaded over his shoulders, a snow-white bone knife pressed down on his right shoulder, a bronze sword pressed down on his left shoulder, and the Devouring Demon Jar hung above his head, emanating a terrifying chaotic aura.

There was also a woman with a stunning figure, draped in a painting. The creatures in the painting seemed to come alive. A white-haired man sat on a coffin pulled by nine dragons, and a white-clad woman wearing a mask stood beside him.

Beneath their feet lay the corpses of numerous emperors, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood. Further down lay all the perilous lands and landscapes of the myriad realms.

They've lived for two hundred thousand years and they're still alive!

The Great Emperor of Chaos changed his expression several times, and finally sighed, saying, "Greetings to the two Great Emperors."

The Empress turned her head slightly without speaking. With a wave of her hand, a futon appeared, formed entirely of Dao energy. The terrifying Dao energy startled even the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

He sat down next to the two of them. Even though they were very close, he still couldn't see their faces clearly, as if they were covered by something. He didn't have any terrifying divine power; he was just like an ordinary person, without any aura.

"Your Majesties, I would like to ask you some questions," said the Chaotic Ancient Emperor after a moment's hesitation.

Since we're already here, let's ask some questions.

Neither of them spoke, and the Chaotic Ancient Emperor knew that neither of them liked to talk.

Then he asked, "Did the two emperors become immortals or achieve eternal life?"

"If there is reincarnation, I am willing to pay the price of my life to resurrect my relatives and friends."

He felt guilty because everyone around him had died because of him. After becoming emperor, his only companion was a young red-crowned crane.

The Chaotic Emperor spoke at length, but the Empress and Xu Changqing remained silent, waiting for him to finish.

After a long time, the desolate forbidden land fell silent. He had truly felt the power and unfathomable depth of the other party at such close range. Although it seemed like nothing, he could feel that the two of them could kill him with a single casual blow.

“Reincarnation exists, but with your current cultivation level, you cannot even begin to grasp it,” Xu Changqing said, as he himself dared not study reincarnation.

"Perhaps, hundreds of thousands of years later, a similar flower will appear." The Empress spoke up the next moment.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor nodded, his expression somewhat somber. After becoming emperor, he had lost far too much.

"I would like to ask, after the Ruthless Emperor became emperor, did he feel boundless loneliness, and guilt for all his relatives and friends dying?" He was very curious about the Ruthless Emperor's feelings.

What were his feelings when he first became emperor?

Xu Changqing suddenly smiled and said, "Guilt? Why would I feel guilty towards them? Boundless loneliness? With her around, how could I be lonely?"

"My feelings upon becoming an emperor are that I have already embarked on the path to immortality, and all I seek is eternal life."

"Anything but immortality can be discarded!"

If I felt guilty, I guess I felt the same way as the Chaotic Ancient Emperor—I didn't want to live anymore.

Everything except immortality can be discarded.

Upon hearing these words, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor was terrified and felt a chill run through his body.

How did they survive?
