Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

During this time, he also met some younger people who mentioned a female demon who was digging up graves and searching for all sorts of good things. Those with special physiques who wanted to obtain the female demon were all killed by her.

Finally, those people seemed to have been drained dry, their bodies became shriveled, and even the characteristics of their special physique disappeared.

Those who are alive call her Devourer of Heaven, while others call her the Man-Eating Demon.

Xu Changqing knew that the woman was beginning to gain fame and rise to prominence.

After Xu Changqing and that woman became famous, different reactions began to emerge in the Imperial Road, and undercurrents began to surge.

In the fifty-eighth level of the human race, many geniuses gathered. Upon hearing that two powerful enemies had begun to appear, they all became excited and expectant.

On a sacred mountain, mist surges, ethereal energy wafts, and auspicious light shines; this is the best training ground for the fifty levels.

At the mountaintop, a radiant glow spread out, pollen filled the air, and colorful specks of light danced in the air. The laws of the Great Dao were abundant, and order cascaded down like a waterfall.

A tree was laden with golden fruit, and its leaves were purple with bright veins, like lines etched onto a grand road.

"Miss, recently a white-haired man and an unknown woman have risen to prominence on the Imperial Road, becoming incredibly famous and powerful."

"Few of the younger generation who fought against them survived."

A girl in a yellow floral dress walked into the depths of the medicinal field with a worried look on her face, her voice trembling slightly.

"What are their nicknames?" A cool, mature female voice came from the mist deep within the medicinal field.

Upon hearing this voice, even the girl who brought the message couldn't help but blush slightly. This voice was so captivating; it charmed men, women, young and old alike.

"I don't know. According to rumors, the white-haired man is named Xu Changqing, but this has not been confirmed so far because no one has seen him speak."

"But most people call him the Heavenly Demon, or the Nameless. A few people think he is inhuman and utterly devoid of conscience, so they call him Heartless."

As she spoke, the girl's face turned deathly pale. She looked very delicate, with an oval face and large, watery eyes. It was clear at a glance that she was not the type to fight, but rather the type to serve.

She thought of certain rumors: that the white-haired man had killed countless people and was incredibly powerful; even a saint could defeat a saint king.

In the end, he wiped out countless families, killed many pregnant women, teenagers, and children; those who offended him rarely survived.

She even heard that the white-haired man, in order to cultivate, specifically targeted young women, and those women with special physiques would have their virginity stolen by him.

It was then refined into pills, and even the primordial spirit was not spared, and was directly stored in a flag.

"That woman was known as Devourer of Heaven, or the female demon, but most people called her a fairy."

The girl heard many people

It is said that the woman was very beautiful, but no one has ever seen her true face. However, judging from her figure and temperament, one can imagine a stunningly beautiful scene.

"Miss, as a person with a naturally formed Dao embryo, you must be careful of that man." The maid couldn't help but worry about the woman inside.

Although Miss is very strong, she has not yet achieved any outstanding feats. Her record is far inferior to those two.

"It seems it's him. I only met him once back then, when he was gambling on jade. It's a pity he was just a nobody with a little fame at the time. I never expected this."

Tian Youqing could never have imagined that the young man who gambled on stones not far from him back then would become so powerful.

However, she still wanted to see just how strong Xu Changqing really was. She had heard that he had entered the Eight Forbidden Domains in his mortal form back on the Burial Emperor Star.

Unfortunately, she was focused on her own cultivation at the time and couldn't go out to spar with him, which became a regret for her.

"Tell me when he gets here."

The maid saw a figure dancing in the thick fog, her dress swaying gently with the graceful movements, her fingers as beautiful as orchids, and her beautiful legs dancing in the fog.

For a moment, the maids were all mesmerized. Although they had never seen the young lady's true face, her figure, her temperament, and her bright almond-shaped eyes were enough to captivate both men and women.

The powerful figures from the Burial Emperor Star all heard of that person's arrival. They were all looking forward to it, but more than that, they felt a great enemy was coming.

Because only they truly understand just how terrifying the Twin Demons of the Era are.

But most people dismiss it, because they think it's impossible to have someone of that level of abnormality.

A young man who looked remarkably like Xu Changqing was strolling down the street when he heard that the man had appeared. His heart was filled with turbulent waves, his voice became hurried, and a hint of panic and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" A beautiful woman asked softly from the side. She had a great figure, but she was heavily pregnant.

"He's here." Xu An was somewhat at a loss, but more than that, he was afraid to face him and filled with fear.

He thought that once he reached the realm of a saint, he would be able to face that person directly, but at this moment, hearing the news of his brutality, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Who, your father?" The beautiful woman smiled slightly, a glint of light in her eyes, and said happily, "That's wonderful! I also want to meet your father and let him meet his daughter-in-law!"

"No, you mustn't meet him!" Xu An panicked for a moment. If this woman went to see that man, she might be killed.

"Why?" the woman asked, puzzled. She noticed cold sweat on her husband's forehead and fear in his eyes.

Xu An thought he had successfully emerged from that person's shadow, but unexpectedly, upon hearing the news of that person's rampage again, he couldn't help but panic.

Because he hasn't been able to enter the Eight Forbidden Realms yet, but that person was able to do so when he transformed into a dragon.

And back then, he almost killed me. If it weren't for his blood ties, I might have died long ago.

But Xu An still remembered a sentence Xu Changqing said when he was released by Xu Changqing.

"Although you are my son, we have no feelings for each other. Although you have my blood, you pointed your sword at me. I will let you go this time, but next time, if you provoke me again, I don't care who you are, I will kill you!"

Xu An still remembers being stepped on by that cheap father, who looked at him with cold eyes and an icy tone.

"Let's go, let's leave the Imperial Road. After you give birth to the child in your belly, I'll take you home." Xu An didn't want to face his biological father. Although he had never been defeated on the Imperial Road, his mental state had long since collapsed.

Those people are all powerful individuals capable of entering forbidden areas. How can someone who has entered the four forbidden areas fight against those terrifying monsters?

"Alright, I don't want you to compete on the Imperial Road either. If something unexpected happens, the child will be fatherless." The woman's face relaxed, and she gently stroked her swollen belly with a smile.

"Tell me about your father," the woman, heavily pregnant, said with genuine curiosity, clinging to Xu An's arm affectionately.

Xu An didn't say anything, and left the place with his wife.

That great battle became a shadow he could never escape, a shadow he could never shake off for the rest of his life.

Chapter 40 Enemies are Everywhere

Many famous figures are also looking forward to seeing just how powerful the Twin Demons of the Era, as mentioned by those from the Burial Emperor Star, really are.

They didn't believe that two mortals could suppress an entire era.

"When he arrives, I want to see just how powerful this mortal body, which is touted by the beings of Burial Emperor Star, really is."

"A mere mortal can enter the forbidden realm? You're kidding me. It's a miracle he wasn't killed by someone of a higher level, let alone enter the forbidden domain? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"He must be a strong person with a special physique."

Many powerful figures scoffed at the rumors about Xu Changqing, even thinking that the people on Burial Emperor Star were crazy. They would have believed it if they had said that Xu Changqing possessed some kind of terrifying physique.

Xu Changqing has traversed the starry sky for several years, encountering increasingly stronger enemies, but most of them are unable to contend with him.

He had witnessed far too many horrific scenes that he had never seen in his mortal days. He had seen a peerless demon who, in order to cultivate, turned billions of mortals into food and raised his cultivation to the level of a Saint King.

In this world, there is no right or wrong.

Debating right and wrong is a mindset of the weak. They believe the world is fair and often say things like, "You're wrong, I'm right."

But if you're strong enough, does right or wrong, right or wrong, even matter to you?

No.

As the stars faded and countless heroes perished, the once brilliant geniuses faded away since the opening of the Emperor's Road, while the once insignificant figures gained opportunities and soared to great heights.

Another year has passed, and five years have passed since Xu Changqing arrived at the Imperial Road.

Five years of fighting, battles, and enlightenment made him increasingly composed, and his temperament changed. He gained a more murderous aura, and his intense killing intent caused the surrounding void to freeze.

Even his cultivation level has reached its peak, and he can enter the Saint King realm at any time.

He planned to enter the Saint King realm only after encountering special circumstances. If there were no special circumstances, he would go to the fiftieth level to undergo tribulation and become a Saint King.

Xu Changqing has arrived at the 49th level of the human race.

His white hair was loose over his shoulders, his face was expressionless, and he was tall and slender. He walked through the city with firm steps and no emotion in his eyes. People around him looked at him and talked about him.

There was admiration, disdain, hatred, and resentment.

But no one dared to approach him. Even the commanders, upon seeing Xu Changqing, silently walked away, not daring to provoke him at all.

Some of those leaders were at the Saint level, and some were Saint Kings, but none of them dared to provoke this executioner. They paid close attention to the legends that came from the ancient road.

"Is this the Heavenly Demon? He's certainly extraordinary; even from a distance, he instills fear in me."

"I don't want to go any further. I've made up my mind. I'm going to withdraw from the struggle for the Emperor's Road and become a commander here. Perhaps that's not a bad choice."

"He was special. His eyes were cold and devoid of emotion. His breathing was steady, and he was completely unaffected by his surroundings."

The road was paved with bluestone, and there were shops, withered trees, and even more monks on both sides.

They were all silently making way for each other.

Because Xu Changqing, who had experienced five years of bloodshed, possessed an aura that was too terrifying, coupled with those rumors.

It made everyone feel more confident.

I dared not breathe too loudly, for fear that my breathing would displease that person.

"Heartless! Give me back my daughter's life!"

Suddenly, a mournful roar came from the sky, and an incomparably vast aura swept across the entire city like a vast ocean, making it difficult for many people to breathe due to the terrifying pressure.

"boom!"

A crimson sea of ​​blood descended from the sky, an incredibly thick aura of blood.

"Boom!"

Two golden beams of light shot into the sky, startling everyone on the street before they scattered and fled.

The intense pressure caused countless shops and houses to collapse, but none of the commanders or guides appeared; they all watched from the shadows.

Xu Changqing stopped, raised his head, looked at the sky, his face expressionless, his icy eyes freezing the very air.

A sage king, though still full of vigor, was clearly on the decline.

Over the years, he had killed countless Saint Kings. In his eyes, the Saint King in the sky was nothing more than a clown.

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion resounded from the void, followed by a series of countless sparks exploding in the air, accompanied by two divine lights.

Xu Changqing's figure became illusory, and finally he disappeared completely, as if he had merged into the void, or as if he had transcended this world, without any aura or ripples.
