Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

"boom!"

When one of the Great Sages arrived, Duan De stopped thinking and used the Eight Seals of Forbidden Immortals to withstand the attacks of the five Great Sages.

Xu Changqing unleashed his full power, directly attacking the Great Sage at the eighth level of the Saint King realm.

He held a bone knife in his left hand and a wooden sword in his right.

Various secret techniques were continuously unleashed, and the swords in his hands were wielded with great power and force, with sweeping and powerful movements, scattering clear light and exuding a boundless sword intent!

"Clang, clang, clang"

Xu Changqing remained expressionless, his physique exerting its power to suppress all local forces, leaving the Great Sage with no room to maneuver.

The Great Sage held a golden holy sword, but it had a nick. When he activated it with all his might, the aura of a quasi-emperor emanating from it was extremely strong.

The wooden sword in Xu Changqing's hand seemed to be stimulated, and it suddenly revived, instantly unleashing the aura of a flawless quasi-emperor, causing the opponent's Holy Sword of Light to tremble.

Xu Changqing was also blasted away by the aura of a quasi-emperor. His physical body disintegrated in mid-air, and his bones were crushed by the aura of a quasi-emperor. His primordial spirit almost collapsed. At the critical moment, he still took out the demonic flag to resist the pressure of the quasi-emperor.

"What?!"

The Great Sage was completely dumbfounded. How could the wooden sword suddenly come back to life?

The god of his own Holy Sword of Light was gone, but the god of the wooden sword still existed!

"Qiang!"

Suddenly, the wooden sword and the Holy Sword of Light collided, and the sword intent, like an ocean, engulfed the entire starry sky, causing Xu Changqing's skin to begin to peel off.

"Old friend, long time no see."

A vague, indistinct wave spread out, and an aged voice emanated from the clash of the two swords.

However, the Holy Sword of Light no longer had a deity and could not respond at all; its divinity resisted instinctively.

Seeing this, the expert at the eighth level of the Great Sage Realm did not hesitate at all and directly attacked Xu Changqing. Without the wooden sword, Xu Changqing was definitely no match for him.

But he was overthinking it. Xu Changqing didn't rely on the wooden sword; he relied more on himself.

"boom!"

The vast blood energy surged forth, like a boundless ocean, immeasurable and awe-inspiring!

"Your Demonic Great Sage's legacy has been exposed. I believe it won't be long before you are hunted down by the entire starry sky," a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Great Sage realm sneered.

He was the strongest person openly known in the Imperial Pass, with the strength of a Great Sage at the eighth level, so naturally he knew a lot about what happened back then.

He comes from the Ye family of Diguan, and his name is Ye Feng. He was once an unparalleled genius who had entered the Eight Forbidden Zones, but unfortunately, he can no longer do so now.

old.

He had lived for seven thousand years and was preparing to pass away. If it weren't for the better development of his family in the future, he wouldn't have bothered to hunt down Devourer.

"Even if I only have 20% of my strength now, I am still not someone you, a mere half-step Great Sage, can contend with." Ye Feng's silver hair was disheveled, and he looked like an old man in his eighties, with cloudy eyes, depleted blood and energy, and a shriveled body.

But with each of his punches, Xu Changqing's blood surged and his internal organs ached.

"I refuse to believe you can unleash that same attack as before!" Old Man Ye Feng crushed Xu Changqing, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

Xu Changqing stared at Ye Feng with his deep eyes, dodging his attacks while using his bone knife to continuously block the terrifying fist.

The loud banging sounds were like thunderclaps.

"Everything has come to nothing!"

Xu Changqing once again unleashed his ultimate forbidden secret technique, even burning his primordial spirit and origin. He slapped his chest with his right hand, and with a "poof," he spat out two drops of bright red blood, as vivid as agate.

This is his heart's blood, containing the essence of his great Dao.

Blood mingled with the bone blade, and various sword techniques and the quasi-emperor's swordsmanship merged once more, his entire body surging with white flames, like the flames of a celestial realm.

Xu Changqing, who originally possessed only 60% of his strength, now only has 20% left.

With his current strength, he can only unleash three attacks at most before paying a heavy price.

However, Xu Changqing wanted to kill Ye Feng in one blow, so he burned his primordial spirit and origin, and even spat out his essence blood.

In an instant, his face turned as white as a dead man, his lips were bloodless, his white hair was disheveled, and his blood-stained clothes emitted an eerie red light. The Emperor's Fall phenomenon unfolded once again, transforming into a dark red longsword.

"What!" Ye Feng's cloudy eyes widened in disbelief, revealing his broken yellow teeth, and his wrinkled face turned pale.

He hadn't expected Xu Changqing to be able to unleash such a powerful attack, and even more so than before.

That attack was even more powerful.

That was too decisive. They were willing to sacrifice their own essence and blood. It would take thousands of years to recover from that loss.

However, all of these will be restored once one becomes a Great Sage.

"Hey!"

A silver river pierced the darkness, its blade intent boundless and vast. This strike seemed poised to bury the heavens and transform all living beings into the Dao.

All the laws of the Great Dao become meaningless and empty within this one strike.

"what!"

This strike directly hit Ye Feng, causing his physical body to disintegrate, his Dao to collapse, his inner source to be severed, and his primordial spirit to lose connection with his physical body.

But he still didn't die.

But that's about it. Ye Feng's strength was originally only at the fourth level, but he was suppressed by Xu Changqing's physical Dao and was severely injured. Now, with this incident, it's even worse.

"Here comes the humble Taoist!" Duan Dexing rushed to Xu Changqing's side in an instant, activated the hammer in his hand with all his might, and smashed it fiercely towards the place where the light of the blade was overwhelming.

boom!

In an instant, wisps of quasi-emperor aura swirled around the massive hammer, its surface covered with countless patterns and shimmering with laws.

boom!

A huge explosion was heard from that place, and Ye Feng disappeared with the attack.

Xu Changqing's face was frighteningly pale, but there were still five Great Saints to deal with, and his strength was almost gone, his divine power was about to run dry.

But he still chose to continue fighting; there was no other way, as there were too many advantages to fighting the Great Sage.

"boom!"

Two minutes later, the wooden sword emitted a mournful aura, severing the Holy Sword of Light and returning to Xu Changqing's hand.

Having acquired a quasi-Emperor artifact, Xu Changqing directly launched an attack on the five Great Saints.

First, the Holy Spirit Great Sage was slashed more than a dozen times by Xu Changqing before he was finally killed using the Quasi-Emperor Sword Technique.

Finally, the attack was turned on the Yin Demon Great Sage. As the successor of the same evil Great Sage, Xu Changqing knew the Yin Demon Great Sage's secret techniques inside and out.

After he killed the Great Sage of Yin Demon, he was completely powerless and could only walk in the starry sky, his figure swaying.

Duan De put him into a basin to rest.

Chapter 72 The End

In the dark basin, all the dishes that had been overturned by the Devouring Sky had been restored, and she had regained her mobility, sitting cross-legged not far away again.

Her deathly pale face made her look somewhat pitiful, but her eyes held a deep indifference, and her delicate face was stained with blood.

Originally dressed in a bright white dress, it has now turned into an eerily crimson dress, dripping blood from time to time, the blood seemingly never drying up.

Xu Changqing staggered in from the outside, let out a soft breath, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to take out various precious materials, as well as some corpses of Great Sages.

In the blood-red hand, he held a jade-white arm, as beautiful as amber, with Great Sage runes swirling around it.

Xu Changqing expressionlessly put that slender and beautiful jade finger into his mouth. With a snap, fresh blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. The sweet blood contained the divine laws of the Great Sage, and he swallowed it.

In the silent space, after hearing the commotion, Tuntian watched Xu Changqing eating a human hand with an extremely calm expression.

The sound of chewing continued, and Xu Changqing ate with relish, his divine power slowly recovering.

While Xu Changqing and Tuntian were recovering their strength, Duan De was already going on a killing spree outside, but even with all his skills, he couldn't kill the two Great Saints.

This made him somewhat devastated. Why was it so easy for Xu Changqing to kill the Great Sage, but when it came to him, even with a quasi-Emperor weapon, he could only fight with the upper hand and could not completely crush the Great Sage into blood and gore.

It's impossible to say that he didn't forge his own path.

His physical body rivals that of a Great Sage, his primordial spirit is even more terrifying, and his Taoist magic also possesses mysterious secret techniques.

Duan De can sometimes fully enter the state of divine restriction, but unlike Xu Changqing and Tuntian, he cannot enter the state of divine restriction anytime and anywhere.

"Damn it, this fat man is only at the eighth level of the Saint King realm, but his physical body is comparable to ours, and he also possesses many techniques and magical artifacts." An old man with white hair said with a gloomy face, his tone filled with exasperation.

Ruined

The two Great Sages had only these three words in their minds. Devourer of Heaven and Ruthless were sent away by this fat man, who then stopped them.

Given the personalities of Wuqing and Tuntian, they will eventually come after them or their families and slaughter them all.

"While Wuqing and Tuntian are healing, let's go. Let's take our people and escape into the starry sky." Another middle-aged Great Sage also had a deathly pale face; they were utterly terrified.

Although they are not among the strongest of the ten major clans, they are still renowned figures in the starry sky, after all, each of the Great Saints has a very famous reputation.

This fat man can't be killed either, after all, Duan De has many tricks up his sleeve, and he has the most ways to save his life.

Want to kill him? Even if Xu Changqing and Tuntian joined forces, they might not be able to kill Duan De.

As the battle raged on, Duan De discovered that the two Great Sages on the other side were completely powerless. Soon after, the two Great Sages left this starry sky without looking back.

Duan De was too lazy to chase after them. He returned to the basin, panting, and saw that Xu Changqing and Tuntian were healing their injuries. He didn't care about his own injuries and directly activated his magic weapon to escape into the starry sky.

Xu Changqing's injuries weren't serious, but they still required time and effort.

It took him a lot of time to recover because he used his own essence and blood essence when he killed the Great Sage of the Eighth Heaven with his final blow.

So at this moment, he looked as if he had a wound.

His face was deathly pale, and he looked completely weak.

As for Tuntian, her injuries were even more severe than Xu Changqing's. The three years of pursuit alone had exhausted her, and the constant fighting with many Great Saints over the past three years had left her body riddled with wounds and her essence like a sieve.

In the final moments, he was pierced through the top of his head by the Great Sage's evil insect Soul-Devouring Nail, which also eroded his physical body, primordial spirit, and the laws of the Great Dao. Such a severe injury would be difficult to recover from in less than several hundred years.

"Where do we go next?" Duan De asked, his face pale. The battle with the Great Saints had been incredibly rewarding, and he wanted to find a place to go into seclusion and try to break through to the Great Saint level.

"Let's find a place to heal," Xu Changqing said calmly. As for where to go, how would he know?

Tuntian didn't speak, presumably because she also wanted to travel with the two of them until she recovered from her injuries before parting ways.
