Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

"Boom!"

Xu Changqing's Daoist magic trembled, and a thick white mist emanated from his entire body. A strange wave rippled outwards, and all the powerful figures present noticed that their strength had been suppressed by as much as four-tenths.

"what!!"

The moment Xu Changqing pulled the nail out, Tuntian trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted, screaming pitifully, which was heartbreaking to witness.

A glint of divine light flashed in Xu Changqing's eyes as he discovered that the black nail was absorbing her primordial spirit, origin, and the laws of the Great Dao.

No wonder she screamed so pitifully and so hard.

If you were to fall for this trick yourself, the same thing would happen.

"puff!"

The moment Xu Changqing pulled the nail out, blood and brain matter gushed out like a waterfall.

Xu Changqing's magical power surged, his right hand tightly gripping the Evil Insect Soul-Devouring Nail, and then a vast blood energy surged, like an endless sea of ​​blood appearing.

His physical body is definitely no weaker than that of the Great Sage, and he is able to catch the Great Sage's artifact with his bare hands.

Finally, Xu Changqing used all his strength and his physical constitution to suppress the evil insect soul-devouring nail, a magical artifact of the Great Sage.

They killed all the insects, collected the fragments of the Devouring Heaven's primordial spirit, and then sent the fragments back into her body.

Tuntian's beautiful face was deathly pale, and her white eyes gradually showed signs of unfocusing pupils.

Xu Changqing popped the small black pimple on her face and then cleaned it out.

After cleaning her up, Xu Changqing saw that her primordial spirit was still recovering, so he could only place her in the starry sky, protecting her tightly behind him, and fight against the eleven Great Saints.

He and Tuntian had no background, no powerful backers, and no followers; they did everything on their own.

The two were both rivals and friends, relying on each other.

Perhaps even without the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, Xu Changqing would still have intervened to save her, since her survival would have brought him far too much benefit.

If she dies, then the next target will be myself.

If she lives, she might be able to shield him from the fire and share the burden of being hunted down by many powerful figures.

Moreover, just as he was about to sever his Dao, Xu Changqing was captured by the Misty Holy Land. It was Devouring Heaven who, wielding a sacred artifact, broke into the Misty Holy Land and rescued him.

Both morally and logically, this time, they must be saved.

But it won't be possible next time.

In a hazy state, Tuntian regained her vision, but her whole body was in excruciating pain and her vision was blurred. She was breathing heavily.

She lay fallen amidst the starry sky, her blood-stained clothes as vibrant as the flowers of the other shore. When she opened her eyes, everything was blurry.

She saw a white-haired man holding a bone knife, standing proudly in the universe, surrounded by many great saints, but always blocking her way.

A black nail flew from his hand and pierced a black figure beside him.

Then, she saw the white-haired man come up to her, squat down slightly, and extend his left hand.

Someone saved her!

Having fought across the stars for many years, faced countless pursuits and near-death experiences, he has always been a lone wolf.

This is the first time someone has stood in her way.

This was the first time someone had come to her rescue, shielding her from numerous powerful figures!

Her heart skipped a beat.

The white-haired man was covered in blood and wounds, but his face remained calm. He didn't speak, but bent slightly and extended his blood-soaked left hand.

Several tens of minutes had passed since he appeared and started fighting with the Great Sage.

But from the perspective of Devouring Heaven, it only lasts for a few dozen seconds.

She had just fallen into a coma, her consciousness was extremely hazy, and Xu Changqing could not fight freely, so he could only protect Tuntian behind him.

Otherwise, if she dies, how will he perfect his Supreme Ruthless Heavenly Skill?

At this moment, the Devouring Heaven consciousness gradually awakened, in a hazy state.

"Come on, I'll take you home!"

It was as if a voice appeared in her mind, seemingly coming from the future, or perhaps from beyond time itself.

But she was certain that the words were not spoken by the white-haired man in front of her, because Xu Changqing did not speak.

Chapter 70 All in Vain

The cold and dark starry sky was evaporating from the aftermath of the great battle, with stars turning into dust and scattering across the sky.

Tuntian was covered in blood and her consciousness was somewhat blurred. Looking at the bloody hand in front of her, she reached out and grasped it.

A tremendous force pulled her up from the universe, and she stood up unsteadily, the spear in her hand still trembling.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing hoisted the Devouring Sky onto his back, coldly holding the bone knife, and silently confronted the Great Sage who surrounded him.

"Cough cough." Behind him, Tuntian's beautiful face was deathly pale as he coughed up blood and internal organs.

Blood was still gushing from the top of her head like a fountain.

That attack just now caused her a great deal of damage.

To this day, I still haven't recovered from the shock.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a golden halo appeared behind Xu Changqing's head. The halo was filled with the resentment and curses of the Holy Spirit. He had originally covered up the Holy Spirit's curses with a secret technique.

However, a great holy spirit was present, and the curse appeared on its own.

"Heartless!" Upon seeing this scene, the green-haired Holy Spirit elder's eyes turned bloodshot, his face filled with rage, and his entire being exuded an extremely powerful aura.

"Hey!"

But what responded to him was an extremely dazzling blade of light, which illuminated the universe, cleaved the heavens and earth, and seemed to have severed the river of time.

"Qiang!"

A green furnace immediately appeared in front of the green-haired Holy Spirit, blocking Xu Changqing's attack, but it also had one of its arms severed.

"Hehe." A somewhat lewd, sinister laugh came from the side, belonging to the blurry figure of the Great Sage.

With a clench of his fist, he restored the nail that Xu Changqing had crushed across thousands of miles, and exclaimed in admiration, "This physical body is truly terrifying. It can actually crush my natal weapon. Fortunately, I had a backup plan."

The next moment, he dropped his playful smile, his face filled with endless indifference. He revealed his true form; he was human, but his eyes were incredibly peculiar. The black dots in his pupils were as fine as needles, each completely covered by the whites of his eyes.

It looks extremely eerie.

“You have received the inheritance of your master, so in principle we should join forces. Unfortunately, someone gave you too much.” The Great Sage of Yin Demon said with a regretful expression.

The grandmaster he was referring to was naturally the Great Sage of Evil.

"kill!"

Soon, the roars of six Great Saints came from behind. Now that Wuqing and Tuntian had appeared together, the two most terrifying enemies on the Emperor's Road should be eliminated.

"Boom!"

The starry sky trembled, the void collapsed, as if the power of creation was emanating, chaos surged, the laws of the Great Sage were densely distributed, like a vast ocean, billions of laws poured out, disrupting the laws of the Five Elements.

Xu Changqing's expression was calm, the bone knife in his hand hummed softly, his aura grew stronger and stronger, and his whole body was engulfed in a white flame, making the starry sky boil.

"boom!"

A thick pillar of white divine light erupted from the top of his head, resembling a celestial road traversing the universe and seemingly connecting to the immortal realm.

Countless longswords emerged from the universe, unleashing a vast surge of blood energy, and the phenomenon of the Emperor's Demise unfolded.

Xu Changqing unleashed his full power without holding back, employing the Heavenly Will Blade and the Drawing Sword Technique, along with the Reincarnation technique.

His swordsmanship, the Emperor's Fall Phenomenon, and the sword techniques passed down to him by the Quasi-Emperor were all combined to form his strongest forbidden secret technique.

This was also the first time he had used it!

"Boom boom boom!"

Xu Changqing, carrying the Devouring Sky sword on his back, stood in the darkness, his hair dancing wildly, his eyes gleaming white light, his clothes fluttering, and two dazzling long swords appearing on his shoulders.

The blade's light tore through the void of the universe, its overwhelming momentum spreading outwards, its unwavering determination startling even the most powerful sages.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon of imperial ruin appeared, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood appearing out of thin air in the universe, and countless sword intents stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Buzz!"

The strange phenomenon of the Emperor's Demise transformed into a dark red longsword, its surface engraved with numerous patterns: all living beings lying dead, the Emperor submitting, imperial weapons shattering, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The moment the dark red Heavenly Blade appeared, ten thousand gods and demons roared on either side of it—all powerful figures whom Xu Changqing had slain.

Now, the strange phenomenon of the fallen emperor has transformed into a blade, and those corpses have turned into demonic souls, which it uses to its advantage, causing its killing intent to surge.

At this moment, Xu Changqing was completely calm, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow. The two long swords floating on his shoulders exuded the aura of heavenly tribulation and reincarnation, while the dark red long sword above his head emitted a demonic roar.

This was merely the strongest secret technique he was about to unleash, yet it had already caused the universe to collapse and terrified the Great Sages present, who felt as if they were facing the secret technique of an Emperor.

"null!"

Xu Changqing gave a soft shout, and slowly raised the bone knife in his hand above his head. The blade shone brilliantly, like a lighthouse in the dark universe.

The void trembled, and blood dripped from his tiger's mouth.

He named his ultimate secret technique—Void!

This means that under this blade, everything becomes meaningless.

"Buzz!"

The transparent blade manifested by the Heavenly Will Blade trembled as if it possessed a spirit, and directly disappeared into the bone blade in Xu Changqing's hand.

The Reincarnation Blade Technique transformed into seven strange longswords, which then merged together into a black blade, fusing into the milky-white bone blade.

The blood-red blade, transformed from the Emperor's Fall phenomenon, was further fused into the bone blade with the roars of ten thousand gods and demons.

In the mirror-like sea of ​​suffering, a transparent scabbard trembled, its terrifying sword intent even more terrifying than the Heavenly Will Sword. This sword intent had existed since the time of mortals and had now been around for four hundred years.

This process may seem slow, but it happens in an instant. The moment the many Great Sages felt their scalps tingle, the secret technique had already appeared.

"Zheng!"
