Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Xu Changqing spoke calmly, his deep eyes fixed on Duan De, a cold smile playing on his lips, as if he would kill Duan De if he didn't eat.

Sure enough, Duan De's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I can't bring myself to eat it."

He couldn't bring himself to eat people.

"Why?"

"Humans are also living beings. We can eat the flesh and blood of various demon races, so why can't we eat humans?"

"In my eyes, people are just like the stones on the roadside; all are equal."

Xu Changqing calmly said that when he was a teenager, he fled and ate countless human corpses.

"This is not a human corpse, but the Holy Spirit."

Duan De breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he admitted that it really did look like a human leg.

The jade-white thigh was stained with red blood, making him unable to distinguish between a human and a holy spirit for a moment. Moreover, it also had the divine aura of a Great Sage, leading him to mistakenly believe that Xu Changqing had killed the thigh of the human guide.

Inside the black space, outside were countless stars and a boundless blue ocean.

On the seabed, countless cultivators lingered among a coral reef. The colorful coral reefs were densely packed, resembling a herd of giant dragons.

The corals were very thick, and they intertwined to form a peculiar gate covered with dense runes and flowing imprints of the Great Dao.

Strands of Quasi-Emperor-level energy spread out.

"It's true! It's actually real! It really is the Emperor's Tomb!"

"I can already feel the Emperor's might!"

Many people were exclaiming in surprise as the vast and terrifying imperial might spread out in wisps, filling the brains of many powerful individuals and causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

They had never seen a Quasi-Emperor, nor had they ever felt the Emperor's oppressive aura, so they assumed that the terrifying and supreme aura belonged to the Emperor.

On the seabed, an inconspicuous transparent basin floated. Xu Changqing sat on a stool, silently gazing at the situation outside.

Duan De cooked the Great Sage's flesh and blood in a cauldron, occasionally adding some divine medicine and seasonings, and using his own Dao fire to refine the bone marrow.

However, Xu Changqing suddenly noticed that some of the runes inside the coral gate were quite special, emanating a familiar aura.

Only she could make him instantly sense a familiar aura.

"It seems she orchestrated this."

P.S.: Sorry, I was too busy last night and forgot to update.

My cousin has been quite busy lately because he's getting married.

I also have to practice for my driving test (Part 3), so I don't have much time to write.

There is more in the evening.

Chapter 66 The Ten Great Clans of the Imperial Road

On the boundless ocean, deep beneath the seabed, numerous exceptionally talented individuals gathered, all converging here.

Among all the myriad realms, there are countless individuals with special physiques, but very few of them are ordinary people who have made it to the Emperor's Road and are standing here.

At this moment, this place is filled with people with royal bodies, divine bodies, and even several of the world's ten strongest physiques.

Newly emerging forms of powerful bodies, such as the Overlord Body, the Innate Dao Embryo, the Primordial Spirit Body, and the God King Body, were also present. Xu Changqing even saw an Indestructible Golden Body, which calmed him down somewhat.

After all, on the road to the Emperor, there is a family whose members are all Saintly Bodies.

However, they have few connections. The Imperial Path Holy Body family produces a Holy Body in every era, all of which are inherited from the same lineage.

Unfortunately, this Holy Body is currently only at the Saint realm.

However, he was already capable of fighting against Saint King level experts, so he was qualified to come here.

In this day and age, the Holy Body is not called the Holy Body, but rather the Immortal Golden Body.

The Holy Body earned its reputation during the Dark Turmoil, when humanity had no Great Emperor!

"Yang An, I heard that your nemesis is about to become a Saint King. The great battle between you two..." A girl in a yellow dress looked worriedly at the somewhat burly man next to her.

"It's alright. I've only been cultivating for nearly two hundred years and I'm already at the ninth level of the Saint Realm. That Tyrant Immortal has been cultivating for almost three hundred years and is only at the peak of the Saint King Realm. He's a whole realm higher than me, so I have nothing to fear."

Yang An had thick black hair, a somewhat robust build, and a gentle yet cold appearance.

He is the contemporary immortal golden body. He started cultivating a bit late, otherwise he could have squeezed into the first tier.

This is not the future; the Human Saint is no longer cursed and his cultivation speed is extremely fast.

"Moreover, his brother, Ba Huang, was crippled by Tun Tian and is now useless."

It has to be said that the name of the Overlord family is really arrogant, with names like "Emperor" and "Immortal," but this name is destined to be full of ominousness.

Deep underwater, the densely packed crowd was divided into several waves. The strongest prodigies of the day stood not far away, each with their own camp, and their followers followed behind them in silence.

"This is not the tomb of an emperor at all, but the tomb of a quasi-emperor."

"If it is an imperial tomb, then it must possess imperial power, not quasi-imperial power."

Gu Yan spoke softly, her gentle voice like a spring breeze, brushing against everyone's hearts and causing them to tremble. They had already thought of a name for the child.

cheated!

Everyone felt frustrated, and some were even furious. Some of them had already reached the deepest part of the Emperor's Road and were just a few levels away from leaving their names on the Crystal Stele.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the sea surged violently, and twenty figures appeared on the surface, each one extremely terrifying.

Upon seeing one of the figures, a man with thick black hair exclaimed in surprise, "Ancestor, what brings you here?"

Many powerful figures present were shocked, and some of the younger generation of powerful figures were calling him "Ancestor".

"The Devourer has hidden here!" The aged figure covered the entire area, so the Great Sage's aura spread out.

In an instant, many of the younger generation could not breathe. The terrifying pressure was like a demonic mountain pressing down on their heads, causing their backs to bend.

However, Tian Youqing and the others stood calmly before the coral gate, silently watching.

Twenty figures on the sea.

"Ten Great Saints, ten Saint Kings at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm—these are the ten strongest clans on the Emperor's Path!"

"It seems they are determined to kill Devouring Heaven."

"That's right. The things that Devouring Heaven did were inhuman. The younger generation of the ten major clans all provoked Devouring Heaven, so they were all killed by him. Afterwards, he even found their mausoleums and directly absorbed the divine bodies of many ancestors in the mausoleums. No wonder they mobilized all their resources to hunt down Devouring Heaven."

Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

This treatment is truly unparalleled.

Xu Changqing watched all this calmly. Anyway, these people couldn't see him. He held a wine glass in one hand, leaned back in his chair, and watched the show with ease.

"Brother Ruthless, why don't you receive this kind of treatment?" Duan De asked, his chubby face flushed as he sipped his soup. He seemed quite intoxicated, with white steam occasionally rising from the top of his head.

“They are afraid,” Xu Changqing said calmly.

If the ten major clans also choose to hunt him down, then they will face the revenge of the two strongest young generation members.

They mobilized all their resources and still couldn't capture Devourer of Heaven, let alone Ruthless.

"The ten most powerful clans on the Imperial Road are the Hegemon Clan, the Yan Clan, the Xiao Clan, the Lin Family, the Tang Family, the Ye Family, the Chen Family, the Lu Family, and the Guiding Envoy Family." Duan De counted carefully; these were the ten most powerful families in the world today.

The younger generation in their family is extremely arrogant, but they have the right to be arrogant.

Every family has a Great Sage and a powerful figure.

The Overlord Clan is among the most prominent, and it is rumored that there are even Quasi-Emperors within the Overlord Clan.

However, none of these claims have been verified.

"She is at the bottom of the sea. Immediately block all escape routes and find her!" a Great Sage said in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

The ten Holy Kings began to set up an inescapable net, blocking all escape routes, with various terrifying runes flashing.

Many of the most talented and powerful individuals changed their expressions.

However, Heaven was merciful, and Gu Yan and her companions ignored these Great Saints and Saint Kings, thinking that with such meager skills, they wouldn't be able to capture them.

Moreover, these people are only targeting Devouring Heaven, not them.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, the quasi-emperor's tomb at the bottom of the sea began to emit popping sounds, bursting out terrifying pressure and light. Accompanied by bursts of chaotic energy, the seabed became violent, and many geniuses were stunned by the sudden situation.

Xu Changqing, with his sharp eyes, noticed that among the dense array of quasi-emperor-level sword marks, a strange black rune was devouring the divinity, or assimilating it.

"The Quasi-Emperor's Tomb is about to open. Is there a time limit?" Everyone was surprised. They originally wanted to wait until there were more people before opening the Quasi-Emperor's Tomb together.

But unexpectedly, this situation has now arisen.

Although they were somewhat disappointed by the trip, at least it was a tomb of a quasi-emperor, which gave them some comfort.

If it were the tomb of the Great Sage, they wouldn't want to come at all.

Duan De, sitting in the basin world, was also stunned by this scene. He stared at the coral patterns in disbelief and said, "Damn it, those patterns are actually being devoured and transformed into another form."

Duan Deke, the Heavenly Master, saw through these problems at a glance.

although

His own combat strength was not strong enough, but his mastery of formations was arguably the best in the world.

Even considering his past life, he is better than any spiritual treasure.

"It's a trap!" Duan De immediately became certain that this was definitely the woman's doing.

I just don't know what she's trying to do. Does she want to kill everyone present to perfect her Taoist magic?

That's too cruel!

"Shh!"

Suddenly, everyone saw a black figure transform into a stream of light and disappear into the vast expanse of runes. Those were quasi-emperor runes, and they were in a state of upheaval.

Even the Great Sage would die if he went there, and the speed and aura emanating from the black figure's full power were only those of a Saint King.

Isn't this courting death?
