Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

The attack caused by Emperor Daoyan has not yet been recovered.

However, in his memory, Emperor Daoyan did give him a healing technique of an emperor.

Unfortunately, Emperor Daoyan did not grant him any forbidden imperial techniques, only the cultivation method to reach the quasi-emperor level from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and some supernatural abilities.

Chapter 25 Harvest

Xu Changqing's white hair was stuck to his back, and his body was covered in large patches of blood, with countless cracks intertwined.

Blood kept oozing from the crack, and a blue light was flashing within the wound, hindering its recovery.

He sat down cross-legged, and the healing method that Emperor Daoyan had given him came to mind.

It gathers the essence of life from the outer world, and when combined with the Life Stone and Life-Sustaining Grass, it can revive people on the verge of death.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to spend time healing. I'll just jump in." Xu Changqing stood up, looked at the pool in front of him that emitted a five-colored halo, and walked straight in.

"Hey!"

As soon as his right foot stepped in, the sound of roasting meat came from inside. Xu Changqing was covered in blood and had cracks all over his body.

The moment the soles of the feet touched the five-colored pool, bursts of white mist immediately rose from beneath their feet.

A piercing pain shot deep into his bones, but he remained expressionless, as if the pain did not exist.

The Five Elements Laws began to invade his body. At first, there was no pain, but when the Five Elements Liquid touched the wound, it made a sound like roasting meat.

At this moment, Xu Changqing felt as if he were walking on boiling oil and red-hot coals, but his face remained expressionless as he walked directly to the center.

The five elements liquid had already submerged his bladder. Then, Xu Changqing sat cross-legged, and the pool reached just up to his chin.

While soaking in the precious liquid, Xu Changqing closed his eyes and looked at the Great Emperor's scriptures given to him by the Great Emperor Daoyan in his mind. To put it bluntly, the Great Emperor Daoyan's scriptures changed Xu Changqing's perception of him.

Why was Emperor Daoyan able to come up with the path of technology, while the other emperors could not?

It can be said that Emperor Daoyan was also exceptionally talented.

Otherwise, he could not have proven his Dao through external objects; he was the first emperor in the world of "Covering the Sky" to prove his Dao through external objects.

If a fight breaks out, and it devolves into hand-to-hand combat, and he were to launch countless quasi-emperor warships to bombard them, the scene would be...

Xu Changqing hadn't anticipated this. If Emperor Daoyan had just unleashed tens of thousands of warships and mechs, along with various high-tech guns and cannons, bombarding him with overwhelming firepower...

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. This incident made him realize that everyone who can become an emperor is different.

Although there are differences in strength among emperors, that only applies to emperors, not to oneself.

I was too confident.

Xu Changqing knew that the Dao Yan Emperor had gone easy on him, after all, he possessed the memories and methods of becoming an emperor, and had the ability and understanding of realms that he could not comprehend.

Otherwise, if a Great Emperor were to suppress his cultivation level, he could easily defeat him with just one hand.

"I can't have this kind of mentality again," Xu Changqing murmured. This time, he realized his mistake: he had underestimated many people.

From now on, every move must be made with full force; there can be no more underestimation.

Xu Changqing stopped thinking about it and began to cultivate some techniques given to him by the Dao Yan Emperor, which included how to absorb the strongest precious liquid and various concepts for making precious liquids.

"In the end, the precious liquid is the same kind of thing as the essence of heaven and earth. They are all rare stones nurtured by heaven and earth. After my processing, fusion and refinement, it finally forms a kind of precious liquid that is beneficial to my own improvement."

"world

There are crystals, divine substances, and iron ores; these things contain substances that are either beneficial or harmful to living beings.

"By refining harmful substances and retaining beneficial substances, one can achieve self-improvement. In the process of refining those substances, one can also cultivate self-control."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but marvel at the Dao Yan Emperor's philosophy. Indeed, none of those who could become emperors were simple individuals.

Just as he said, no one can judge his path, not even an emperor.

Then one has no right to judge others' paths, nor to look down on others' paths.

As Xu Changqing examined the things left behind by Emperor Daoyan, he ignored the excruciating pain, which had almost completely disappeared.

He had become numb to pain.

He sat cross-legged, his white hair swaying with the water, his body radiating five-colored light, and every crack in his body was like a stream, constantly expelling dirt and blood.

Finally, his skin cracked and began to peel off, and the wounds began to heal.

Xu Changqing could clearly feel that his physical body was undergoing some changes, and his sea of ​​suffering seemed to have been expanded, becoming a little wider.

Warm currents began to flow through my limbs and bones, as if I had been frozen like a dog in winter and suddenly soaked in a spring, feeling so comfortable that I wanted to groan.

But while the bones felt more comfortable, the pain became even more intense.

"Clang. Clang."

The bones all over Xu Changqing's body made a piercing sound, as if each bone was not broken. Finally, they were placed under the hydraulic press and crushed into bone particles, and then subjected to the combined baptism of the precious liquid.

This transformation lasted a long time.

Unbeknownst to him, he broke through to the realm of a sage.

However, this place possessed incredible power, which the Heavenly Tribulation did not sense.

Even Xu Changqing was unaware that he had already made a breakthrough.

The first transformation took two days, and by the time of the second transformation, the Five-Colored Pool had turned purple-gold.

This time, the target is the primordial spirit.

The pain, more intense than physical pain, made Xu Changqing frown, but he remained silent. Gradually, he adapted to the pain, his brows relaxed, and he calmed down again.

In that pool, fragments of old skin had already appeared.

He was focused on cultivating and evolving himself and did not notice the changes in the pool.

Xu Changqing had already absorbed the scriptures given to him by Emperor Daoyan, whose ideals were even higher than his own.

Ultimately, he was living in a civilization that was less than level one back then.

But Emperor Daoyan was the one who created technological civilization and conquered the stars with technology, so naturally he couldn't compare to him.

He laughed when he saw someone on a forum say that when the Dao Yan Emperor fought, he was wearing a suit, smoking a cigarette, and driving a spaceship to crash into people.

The transformation is still ongoing, but the outside world is already in an uproar.

The white-haired man had been missing for a month and had not been seen yet, leaving the people who had made such a fuss speechless.

Qianlong, with his black hair and dressed in blue, stood quietly beside Lin Qianyu, gazing silently at the enormous pillar standing on the sea of ​​stars, lost in thought.

Those two words were utterly false, so much so that he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance. He was the first...

This is the first time I've seen someone stand above the title of Emperor.

"If that female demon were here too, how spectacular that would be!" Qianlong thought of that woman; he had almost fought with her back then, but thankfully they hadn't.

Otherwise, I might die.

The female demon is infamous, has no name, rarely speaks, is extremely cold, and possesses great opportunities.

Even the divine strategists of the Feathered Divine Dynasty couldn't deduce the origins and background of that female demon.

"Who is the female demon?" Lin Qianyu asked, frowning. Why did she sound like another terrifying figure?

"Didn't I tell you already?" Qianlong looked at Lin Qianyu speechlessly.

"Oh, the other mortal you mentioned, the other demon lord known as one of the Twin Demons of the Era over there?"

Lin Qianyu suddenly realized that she had been thinking about Xu Changqing's knife attack during this time and hadn't had much time to pay attention to other things.

Qianlong nodded and said, "She has been targeting the Feathered Divine Dynasty, and many of its geniuses have died at her hands."

"His strength is comparable to that of Wuqing, and his talent is unparalleled."

"Can you imagine the shock of two mortals rising to power in this era?"

Lin Qianyu naturally shook her head. In the starry sky, even mortal bodies are not up to par. It is extremely difficult to cultivate to the level of Dragon Transformation or Immortal Platform, let alone a mortal body that has entered the forbidden domain.

“Perhaps, when we head to the Ancient Star Road, we will hear of that female demon’s formidable reputation,” Qianlong said simply, his hands behind his back.

He simply enjoyed seeing the shocked expressions of the geniuses from the Eternal Starfield. In truth, the people of the Eternal Starfield either called him a savage or a backward monkey.

This made him very unhappy.

"Even if Wuqing comes out, he won't be able to escape." Lin Qianyu sighed as she looked at the densely packed warships and crowds around her.

I suddenly feel a little sorry for that man.

Qianlong rolled his eyes at Lin Qianyu and said, "Impossible, how do you know they don't have any trump cards up their sleeves?"

"Perhaps his appearance will shake your entire star system."

He knows Xu Changqing very well; he wouldn't do something like that without at least a 50% chance of success.

And so, two months passed.

The enormous pillar burst forth with dazzling light, as if announcing to the world that the trial had been passed.

“It’s out! It’s out!!”

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Under the night sky, countless spaceships and enormous warships began to emit dazzling light, which burst forth and illuminated the night sky.

High technology is everywhere—in the sky, on the ground, and within the sea of ​​stars—and the chilling white light is enough to make anyone shudder.

Countless mechs stood in the void, densely packed, their metal sheen visible at a glance.

"If he refuses to join our family and bear us offspring, then capture him, imprison him, and study him," some powerful figures coldly ordered.

Xu Changqing began collecting items in that place: the blood-stained Saint's spaceship, the blood-stained Saint's mecha, and various high-tech guns and cannons, as well as the cultivation techniques and scriptures left behind by the Dao Yan Emperor.

Those cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and scriptures were all spoils of war he obtained in his past battles, so now they've benefited Xu Changqing.

He underwent three transformations in total. The first transformation allowed him to break through to the Saint realm, and he underwent two more transformations within the Saint realm.

His physical body was already ridiculously powerful, and combined with his physique, it was simply defying the heavens.

"It's time to go out." Xu Changqing muttered to himself. Although there were still many things here, he didn't take them all. Instead, he took some as Dao Yan Emperor had instructed.

After the bloodstained warship was taken away, there was a silver altar with countless patterns on it. Purple light spread along the patterns, like streams.

After he activated the altar, a silver passage appeared, with passages made of various metals along its edges.
