Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

The Star Sea is located at the very edge of the Eternal Starfield, and there are not many people here after the beings of the Eternal World learned about the conditions for entering.

Xu Changqing stood on the beach of Xinghai, where every grain of sand radiated brilliant light, and the starlight was breathtaking.

He crouched down, reached out and touched the surface of the sea, and immediately discovered that it was covered with runes, all kinds of golden runes and laws of order intertwined.

However, he did not sense that vast and majestic aura of an ancient emperor, the aura of an emperor.

Therefore, he guessed that this was not the so-called relic left by the Great Emperor.

"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Changqing muttered to himself, stood up, and gazed at the boundless sea of ​​stars, which looked like an ocean formed by countless star languages ​​condensed together.

The sea breeze ruffled his white hair, his face expressionless. He strode across the calm sea of ​​stars, step by step walking deeper into the distance.

During this time, he saw silver threads intertwined beneath his feet, supporting his entire body.

After walking for a while, he discovered a huge stone pillar in front of him, standing in the center of the starry sea, shrouded in a dreamlike mist.

There are also ancient golden characters on the stone pillars.

Xu Changqing gazed at the massive stone pillar ahead, where dense runic light flowed and a wondrous aura emanated from it. Only by coming here could he sense a trace of the Emperor's aura.

The vast and boundless sea of ​​stars, the dreamlike journey, the tiny white-haired figure, and the towering pillars that pierce the outer reaches of the world form a stark contrast.

"Dao Yan."

"Fighting in the Sky".

"The Way of One".

"Burning Sky."

"Lin Qianyu".

“Ziti”.

Xu Changqing saw those ancient characters; those golden ancient characters were the writings of the Great Way, and people of every era could understand the meaning of these characters.

The pillars are covered with dense ancient characters, so they contain people's names.

The stone pillar is inscribed with the words "This is a stone tablet for testing the successor," but it is more like a massive pillar of heaven than a stone tablet.

"What kind of place is this? Why has even the Great Emperor Daoyan come here?" Xu Changqing was a little confused. He saw Dao Yi, who was also on the list.

Even Lin Qianyu was among them.

He walked over and reached out to touch the stone pillar.

hum!

A buzzing sound rang out, followed by a burst of silver light, which showered down from the stone pillar, illuminating him.

Enveloped.

Xu Changqing discovered that a lot of information was appearing in his mind.

This stone pillar was left by a quasi-emperor. It is unknown when it was created, but Emperor Daoyan had not yet risen to power. He came here in his youth to obtain the inheritance.

This stone pillar also symbolizes the trial ground for the strongest young generation in the Eternal Starfield. Whoever climbs it can enter the inheritance ground left by the quasi-emperor powerhouse.

Those who choose to embark on the ancient trial path will come to this place to test how much they differ from the strong individuals of yesteryear.

But the gap is obvious; the name that Emperor Daoyan left here when he was young has never been surpassed.

After returning from the ancient road, these people would choose to leave behind their heirlooms or other items inside.

It's not impossible that the Dao Yan Emperor left something inside; it's just unknown what he might have left behind.

The silvery light enveloped Xu Changqing, making him understand what this place was for.

Originally left by that quasi-emperor to his successor, it was mistakenly believed by everyone to be the last trial before embarking on the Ancient Star Road. As long as one's name is on the list, embarking on the Ancient Star Road will also make one a powerful figure.

"Use your strongest divine power to strike the stone pillar, leave your name on the list, and then enter a certain passage to continue to undergo trials. There are a total of four trial levels."

"The Dao Yan Emperor left behind something, but it must surpass his strength."

Xu Changqing pondered for a while, then removed his hand from the stone pillar and quietly looked at the huge stone pillar in front of him.

After taking a few steps back, he took out a bone knife.

"He's only surpassed the Dao Yan Emperor; he's not that strong." Xu Changqing's eyes flashed coldly. The young Dao Yan Emperor wasn't that strong to him.

Compared to the Immortal Emperor or the Fighting Saint Emperor, the Dao Yan Emperor is still very weak.

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changqing suddenly unleashed his strongest combat power. White mist emanated from his body, spreading throughout the dreamlike sea of ​​stars. A beam of clear light pierced through the outer realm from the top of his head, illuminating the sky.

In the bright, mirror-like sea of ​​bitterness, white mist began to rise from the bottom, turning the calm sea of ​​bitterness white, releasing incomparably pure life essence.

The potential light within the body converged, and the five internal organs emitted different lights. Those lights condensed together and transformed into nine-colored divine light.

Above the sea of ​​suffering, there is a transparent long sword.

This is Xu Changqing's secret technique, a technique used to counter the "All" secret technique.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!

That transparent longsword appeared the day he developed a sword intent, and after he finally severed all ties with love, it became like this.

At this moment, Xu Changqing mobilized the sword intent that had been nurtured for hundreds of years.

Outside his body, Xu Changqing's physical form continued to emit white mist, and he suppressed some of the laws of the Great Dao here.

His brow split open, and a transparent longsword slowly revealed its tip, before merging with the bone sword in his hand.

Finally, the bone knife was enveloped in light, and when it reappeared, it had a scabbard, which was black.

"boom!"

Behind him, a bizarre phenomenon of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared. A white-haired man knelt on the mountain of corpses, with a fallen emperor and shattered weapons in front of him.

An unusual phenomenon has occurred: the Emperor has fallen!

Xu Changqing's aura grew stronger and stronger, and he seemed poised to break through to the Saint realm. His physical body radiated...

Brilliant flames and endless runes appeared from his body.

He absorbed all the spiritual energy in the world, and the dreamlike starry sea beneath his feet was drawn into a galaxy that flowed back above his head.

"God willing!"

Xu Changqing murmured, and the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation spread from his body. Countless transparent longswords appeared above his head, eventually merging together and disappearing into the bone blade.

The combination of the two secret techniques caused the entire starry sea to tremble, and the enormous stone pillar emitted an even more intense light.

"boom!"

Xu Changqing unleashed a powerful surge of energy, unleashing a wondrous technique that instantly propelled his strength into the realm of divine prohibitions.

The changes here also caught the attention of some younger people who were preparing to test their combat capabilities.

They saw a white-haired figure emanating a terrifying aura; even from a distance, they could feel a suffocating sensation.

The white-haired figure was burning, the flames scorching the starry sky, and comets fell from the heavens. The pitch-black sky was covered by white fire, which was extremely spectacular.

Finally, the younger generation who came for the trial saw the white-haired figure soar into the sky and quickly surpass the name of the Dao Yan Emperor.

He forcefully slashed out with his sword above Emperor Daoyan.

"Hey!"

The world instantly turned white, accompanied by a clanging sound and the aftershocks of the energy collision. The entire Star Sea was swept up by towering waves that crashed against the giant stone pillars.

"Ah, my eyes!" The powerful figure in the shadows was instantly blinded by the white light.

Blood streamed from their eyes.

"boom!"

A surge of energy spread out, and the endless sword intent swept across the starry sea like a vast ocean. Saints who were close to Xu Changqing were blown away and shredded into pieces by the merciless sword intent.

The moment Xu Changqing touched the stone pillar, many people nearby noticed it, and Xu Changqing naturally noticed it as well, but he ignored it.

For him, it's best to get the good stuff first.

Moreover, it may contain things left behind by the Great Emperor Daoyan, or the inheritance of cultivation techniques.

He doesn't yet possess the Great Emperor's Secret Technique.

Chapter 21 Battle against Dao Yan's young Dao body

The world turned into white light. Apart from white, there were no other colors in the world. Even the island warships outside the starry sky could see the dazzling light bursting out on the edge of the eternal main star.

The white light pierced through the atmosphere of the Eternal Starfield, extending all the way to the outer reaches of the starfield. The energy was so terrifying that it shattered the large stars outside the starfield.

There were restrictions imposed by the quasi-emperor, but Xu Changqing's system suppressed some of them, and all the residual energy dispersed some of the weak points.

Xu Changqing unleashed his full power, standing directly on top of the two characters "Dao Yan," and then, wielding a bone knife, fiercely carved the characters onto the stone pillar.

click!

Sparks burst forth, each containing terrifying power. If a cultivator who had just reached the Dao stage were to accidentally touch one, they might be burned to ashes.

Soon, two characters appeared above the characters "Dao Yan".

ruthless!

He was a few meters away from Dao Yan's name.

At this moment, Xu Changqing displayed his full strength to the fullest.

The moment the name was inscribed, the Eternal Starfield suddenly roared, and a silver ripple shook the four seas and eight wastelands, enveloping the entire Eternal Main Star.

Unconsciously, something new appeared in the minds of all living beings in the Eternal Starfield: ruthlessness was the seed of a god.

A seed of godhood, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is the kind of being capable of becoming an emperor.

In the Eternal Starfield, gods are emperors.

"boom!"

At this moment, everyone saw the pillar in the sea of ​​stars burst forth with a dazzling light. The light pierced through the star field, shattering the starry sky and connecting to a passage.

At this moment, countless golden runes surged within the sea of ​​stars, ancient characters were imprinted in the void, and silver threads of order intertwined to construct a dreamlike passage.

Xu Changqing put away the bone knife in his hand, took a slight breath, and then stepped into the passage with a firm gaze.
