Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

With his white hair and black clothes fluttering in the wind, he stood on the mountain, looking out at the endless mountains and rivers, a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The empress's hair flew in the wind, her clothes billowed, and her slender figure was exceptionally beautiful, as if she had stepped out of a mythological world. She was so transcendent, like a celestial being descended to earth.

She possessed an otherworldly aura, seemingly not belonging to this world, exuding an aura untouched by worldly concerns, as if she might ascend to immortality at any moment, transcending the mortal realm.

At the same time, she was holy and noble. Just by standing there, the heavens and earth blossomed for her. Her beautiful face was expressionless as she gazed into the distance.

The breeze blows.

Her beautiful hair danced gently, shimmering like starlight. Her moon-white dress accentuated her graceful and proud figure. Her skin was fair and white, like jade carved from mutton fat. On her snow-white neck was a face of unparalleled beauty.

The Empress remained silent, then turned her head slightly to look at Xu Changqing with incredibly gentle eyes, and said softly, "Alright, be careful."

It wasn't that she didn't want to go with Xu Changqing, but rather that she was obsessed with it.

Xu Changqing nodded, took a step, and stepped into the sky, carrying a long black sword on his back.

The Empress watched silently from the mountain, her clear autumn eyes filled with reluctance, but in the end she could only sigh and watch Xu Changqing leave.

From then on, she had another obsession.

Waiting for Xu Changqing's return.

"I will not enter the Immortal Realm, but only wait for your return." The Empress said softly, her eyes shining. Her gaze remained fixed on Xu Changqing until he stepped into the Chaos.

Finally, he turned around and returned to the desolate forbidden land.

Xu Changqing's departure was sudden, and she didn't know why he made this decision.

He left without any warning.

Xu Changqing didn't want to leave either, but he found that he was becoming less and less like the person he used to be.

If things continue like this, I might end up becoming dependent on the Empress.

I had no choice but to leave.

He needs to become stronger, strong enough to survive the dark turmoil that follows.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, wouldn't I become a useless person?

Xu Changqing offered no guidance on Wan Qing's path; if he wanted to evolve the Immortal Realm, then so be it.

If I had been able to return in time, perhaps the Azure Emperor wouldn't have died like this.

Xu Changqing left, and the Empress lived alone in the courtyard.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body remained silent, then sighed and left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, choosing to sleep with the Great Black.

I was already uncomfortable being with the two Heavenly Emperors, and now that I, a grown man, am in the same place as the Empress, I feel even more uncomfortable.

Thankfully, there's Big Black.

Otherwise, I'd have to bite the bullet and stay here.

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

The Golden Age has begun again, but although many new physiques and powerful individuals have emerged in this era, they are affected by the environment of heaven and earth, making it difficult for them to achieve enlightenment.

However, a prodigy named Wan Qing rose to prominence rapidly in the Dharma-ending Age, defeating his peers without equal.

Even many of the older generation died at his hands, and his reputation resounded throughout the entire Beidou region.

Regardless of their physical constitution, they all suffered a crushing defeat at his hands.

In the post-primordial era, the world underwent great changes, and even severing the Dao was no longer an option, causing many people to lament their fate.

However, Wan Qing defied the odds and forged ahead, leaving his peers far behind.

The peerless geniuses of the same era were in despair. They were all born in the same world, so why was this man able to crush all his rivals like Wu Shi?

He seemed to have no cultivation bottlenecks, and his cultivation level continued to improve rapidly.

As time passed, Wan Qing became an enemy of the entire world in the Big Dipper Star Region. No one knew who had spread the news that Wan Qing was an immortal elixir.

This led to countless powerful figures searching for him and numerous major forces hunting down Wan Qing, but he escaped time and time again, growing stronger with each battle and fighting countless elders in bloody battles.

No one knows who this exceptionally talented man's teacher was, but he is hailed as the most promising candidate to attain enlightenment.

Finally, Wan Qing forcefully entered the Qishi Mansion and embarked on the ancient starry road.

He fought his way through the ancient starry road, passing through one life-bearing star field after another, defeating countless geniuses and driving his generation's geniuses to despair.

In the end, Wan Qing transcended the tribulation and became a saint, while those with special physiques had not yet severed their Dao.

After passing through the Eternal Starfield, he fought a great battle there, shattering countless mechs and leaving behind endless legends before departing.

He then forcefully advanced into the depths of the starry sky, and Wan Qing embarked on the path to becoming an emperor.

Chapter 182 The Shattered Battlefield

Wan Qing stepped onto the Emperor's Path and began to contend, while Xu Changqing moved forward at an extremely fast speed in the chaos, with fragments of time flying around him.

Every move he made shattered the chaotic space. The violent laws that fell upon him were like a warm breeze, without any deterrent effect.

In the raging chaos, even a quasi-emperor would be reduced to blood and gore, perishing directly in this terrifying chaos.

The emperors would not enter the Chaos because they knew that the Chaos contained nothing. Perhaps there were some secret realms and worlds, but with their lifespans, it would be far too short to travel there.

Xu Changqing, however, was not afraid, as he still had tens of thousands of years of lifespan before his fourth incarnation.

Now he is an unparalleled master of formations. After leaving his coordinates in the Big Dipper, he resolutely entered the depths of chaos.

Chaos is a state of directionlessness, a state of confusion, a disorder of space and time, and a chaotic state of the five elements.

Occasionally, fragments of stars would brush past, only to be reduced to nothingness by terrifying laws.

There are some places that even Xu Changqing, with his cultivation level, wouldn't dare to enter.

"I will not return until I become a Celestial King." Xu Changqing made up his mind and plunged into the terrifying chaotic currents.

He traveled through the chaos for hundreds of years, encountering dangers from time to time. The terrifying blade of chaos, like the hand of a true immortal, could actually injure him.

There is no essence or spiritual energy in the chaos. Fortunately, Xu Changqing is a chaotic body in this life, and he can refine the violent chaotic energy for his own use.

This solitary journey lasted for over three thousand years.

Xu Changqing walked through the chaos with a blank expression, his steps firm. His determination was not shaken by loneliness. There was no one to speak, no life, no color.

On this day, he encountered a broken black continent in the chaos, which floated in the endless land of laws.

Outside the black continent, there was a bloody hand, its surface translucent white, the blood flowing with an endless celestial glow, instantly silencing the chaotic chaos.

Xu Changqing frowned, his face grave, and stepped forward, holding a black knife.

This was the only "living" creature he had encountered during his more than three thousand years of wandering in chaos.

"The blood flows with the laws of immortality, it seems to be the hand of an immortal. However, even after an era, the divine power of the blood of a true immortal has not disappeared."

He leaned forward and felt a pressure, though it wasn't intense for him. However, he believed that even an ordinary emperor wouldn't be able to get close to this place.

Ahead lay an endless, dark land shrouded in lightning, where golden patterns, like tadpoles, swam along eerie veins, absorbing chaotic energy.

Inside were black mountains and rivers, countless collapsed pavilions, and pairs of skeletons, some of which glowed, and some of which still showed signs of life.

"Qiang!"

Xu Changqing reached out and took the bloody hand. The hand seemed to come alive, bursting forth with earth-shattering divine light that shattered the chaotic currents.

A surge of true immortal power erupted, and endless laws, like a vast ocean, burst forth from that blood-soaked palm, engulfing Xu Changqing.

Sparks flew everywhere. Although the laws of the True Immortals were incredibly powerful, they had been ravaged by time and could no longer harm Xu Changqing.

But he still felt a slight numbness in his body.

"True Immortal Laws?"

"It's not like I don't have any."

In order to transform into his third incarnation, he once raised his cultivation to the pinnacle of humanity and then triggered a celestial tribulation for his Nirvana.

Now, if he were to undergo another tribulation, he would be ninety percent certain.

Immortal!

"Boom!"

The next moment, dazzling lightning erupted from Xu Changqing's body. In the darkness and chaos, the lightning was like a lamp in the deep sea.

The immortal lightning suppressed the true immortal's palm. Then, Xu Changqing directly used the chaotic energy as a furnace to draw upon the great laws of the sealed dark land ahead.

He threw the knife in his hand into the Chaos Furnace, attempting to melt the True Immortal's palm into the black knife.

The black blade was forged from the essence of primordial chaos, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the Chaos Heavenly Blade.

Inside the Chaos Cauldron, the Chaos Heavenly Blade continuously slashed at the True Immortal's palm. Unfortunately, even after slashing thousands of times per second, it only caused a few more wounds to the already bloody palm.

Helpless, Xu Changqing took matters into his own hands. The black and white light within his body bloomed, suppressing the True Immortal Laws. Finally, with a boom, white immortal fire erupted and began to refine his palm.

A year later, the Chaos Heavenly Blade, bathed in immortal blood, became even more extraordinary.

It looks even more ancient, with a small notch on the blade. On the black blade, there is a dark red color, which is immortal blood!

Chapter 183 Mysterious Evil Spirit

A pitch-black world, collapsed mountains and rivers, black bones everywhere, the earth cracked open, and countless black mists gushed out like springs.

"Ow!"

A mournful howl echoed throughout the world, and countless ghosts crawled out of the ground, shrouded in black mist, their scarlet eyes densely packed, like a surging red sea.

In the sky, a blood-red eye stared at Xu Changqing with murderous intent.

A vast expanse of black mist swept across the sky, and Xu Changqing, like a divine lamp in the night, was radiating lightning all over his body, holding the Chaos Heavenly Blade, his eyes cold and indifferent.

An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped him.

This is the place where the immortals fell, a world shattered in the no-man's-land. Over countless years, malevolent energy, resentment, and dark matter have combined to form a terrifying creature.

Just like the boundary tombs in the chaotic ancient era, there is a kind of creature called the evil spirit.

They are beings defeated in the ancient era of immortals. Their resentment did not dissipate after death, and the combination of various resentments formed a unique being.

Xu Changqing took a deep breath, held the knife in both hands, and unleashed the knife intent that had been nurtured within him for over two hundred thousand years.
