Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Without hesitation, it placed its essence fruit above Xu Changqing's head.

The fruit resembles a pineapple, golden and translucent, with dense, intricate patterns and endless laws visible through its peel.

The golden fruit floated above Xu Changqing's head, and then began to shower down rich life essence.

The rich fragrance made the whole world seem like a fairyland, and the Holy Emperor Tower stopped moving.

This valley is now charred black, destroyed by the Yin-Yang Fire.

The area was scorched black, with cracked ground everywhere and countless dead plants.

But the moment the fruit released its essence—just an aura—it caused tender green grass to sprout throughout the valley, drawing in countless streams of spiritual energy.

Outside the valley, countless fish without sentience leaped and thrashed about, forming a dense, dark mass like a tidal wave, as if a colossal wave was crashing in and soaring into the sky.

But the Holy Emperor Tower emitted a gentle ripple, pushing countless large fish back into the sea.

After absorbing the fruit, Xu Changqing was covered in black skin, like a large black cocoon.

Click!

The large black cocoon split open, bursting forth with a blinding light, and charred skin began to peel off Xu Changqing's body.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling light shot into the sky—a massive white pillar of light that burst forth from the top of Xu Changqing's head and shot straight into the heavens.

Like ripples spreading across water, a rushing sound arose, and a vast, boundless sea of ​​blood appeared.

Within the sea of ​​blood, stars twinkle, heavens cycle, and the underworld is constructed from endless Dao runes.

That was Xu Changqing's blood and energy; his bone nodes seemed to contain a perfect world.

Each of his cells is like a universe, containing all the phenomena of the mortal world and the joys and sorrows of all living beings.

Chapter 86 The Strange Yin-Yang Roulette

Xu Changqing remained completely silent. The pain was beyond his previous limits, a pain that came from his body and his soul, and it almost made him faint.

At this moment, his bones were roasted until they were golden brown and brittle, as if they would fall apart at the slightest touch, but they were covered with dense Dao patterns and runes, and nine golden bone fragments were playing a mysterious role.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

It was as if a giant hammer was forging Xu Changqing's body.

The divine might of the Quasi-Emperor continuously emanated from the Holy Emperor Tower, and the Yin-Yang Fire poured down relentlessly. Fortunately, they had made prior preparations, preventing the divine might of the Quasi-Emperor from spreading.

Otherwise, even the Purple Star would tremble, the starry sky would collapse, and the North Sea would instantly evaporate into dry, hard soil.

Bone Knife was still overjoyed. He carefully used the power within his body to place the two pieces of immortal gold next to Xu Changqing and used the Yin-Yang Fire to refine the essence of the immortal gold.

It watched from the sidelines as its master grimaced and was roasted alive, his body occasionally bursting open, before finally being rescued by the Fusang Divine Tree.

Seeing this, it was relieved that its owner hadn't made it undergo the tempering process with him.

"boom!"

Xu Changqing's body exploded, his torn flesh splattering everywhere. His blood had been evaporated by the Yin-Yang Fire, and his most primordial blood essence was protected by the Fusang Divine Tree.

Seeing this, Bone Blade felt sorry for Xu Changqing. Although he had been beaten to a pulp countless times in the past, this time it was truly terrifying.

Even the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation that cuts through the Dao is not as terrifying as it is now.

This is equivalent to a Quasi-Emperor at the first level of cultivation going all out, while Xu Changqing is only at the ninth level of Great Sage, and his physical body is also close to that of a Quasi-Emperor. However, he cannot fight back and can only silently accept it.

"Little guy, what are you looking at? Come here too."

Soon, the unremarkable bone knife was spotted by the Holy Emperor Tower. Originally, it did not intend to let the bone knife undergo tempering, but the bone knife was mischievous and secretly took out two pieces of immortal gold right under its nose, so naturally it could not be let go.

It truly envied the Bone Blade, for its body contained Divine Mark Purple Gold, Eternal Blue Gold, and Yellow Dao Immortal Gold.

These three items are extremely rare. I never expected that a mere Great Sage weapon would contain all three, and there are even two types of immortal metals that have not been fused together.

"Qiang!"

The Bone Blade Deity was stunned, and then felt a tremendous force drag it into the Yin-Yang Fire Sea.

In an instant, its blade turned completely red.

The deity's face showed pain, but it remained silent.

Since it gained sentience, its blade has broken countless times, and Xu Changqing has always patched it up. Only after the addition of immortal gold did the situation improve considerably.

The black and white Yin-Yang fires, like two giant dragons, surrounded Xu Changqing and Bone Blade, while the Holy Emperor Tower in the sky continued to shower flames down.

The hibiscus tree continued to heal Xu Changqing's wounds with great enthusiasm.

This arduous training drove Xu Changqing to the brink of collapse.

Hey bro, could you please treat it a little better? Why can't the affected area be larger each time it heals?

One arm exploded, and the Fusang Divine Tree only restored one hand, ignoring the rest.

At this moment, Xu Changqing was no longer recognizable as human.

His body was charred and emaciated, his white hair had been burned away, revealing cracked scalp and his brain matter that was emitting a fragrance.

However, whenever his body is healed by the Fusang tree, he becomes stronger, and the damage from the flames to certain areas becomes less.

At this moment, the important figures outside fell silent, for they had witnessed Xu Changqing's living hell.

They mistakenly believed that the white-haired man was the first to discover the place and go inside.

They had all thought that the white-haired man had given them a chance, but they never expected it to be such a torment that it was hard to even die.

They were terrified and dared not seize the opportunity presented by Tanggu Fusang.

A naked figure stood beneath a hibiscus tree, his white hair flowing smoothly, his handsome face etched with indifference, and his eyes deep like a moonlit spring.

Xu Changqing didn't react much to the idea of ​​walking birds under the tree.

With a flick of his arm, he donned a black silk robe, bowed to the Holy Emperor Tower and the Fusang Tree, and then soared into the sky to begin his tribulation.

"This is just a physical tribulation; his primordial spirit hasn't reached the Quasi-Emperor level yet, so the tribulation might not be perfect," said the Holy Emperor Tower, who had witnessed the Holy Emperor go through this process himself.

In the past, in pursuit of ultimate power and to carve out a new world for humanity, the Holy Emperor chose to go to the most terrifying place in the world to temper himself, and with the body of a Great Saint, he fought against the quasi-emperors of the ancient race.

Only later did I learn that his physical body was already that of a quasi-emperor.

At this moment, all the powerful figures on Ziwei Star saw that countless seas of lightning had appeared in one place.

The world, which was originally clear and sunny, suddenly became dark and deep, as if it were night, accompanied by the roars of dragons and the howls of gods and demons.

Ordinary people slaughtered chickens and sheep, worshipping the gods in their hearts, hoping to escape this strange natural disaster.

The cultivators, on the other hand, were gazing towards the North Sea.

A figure dressed in black with white hair, accompanied by a beam of white light, shot upwards from the North Sea, emanating a terrifying aura.

An endless expanse of darkness, with dark clouds looming overhead, and countless thunder dragons weaving through them; the sky resembled a vast ocean of ink and brush.

This is an incredibly stunning scene.

A person charged forward fearlessly, facing the heavenly might that was like that of an emperor, without any fear.

At this moment, everyone felt that the figure was far too small in the face of the endless dark clouds and thunder dragon, as small as a speck of dust.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the man disappear into the clouds, entangled by endless thunder dragons.

"boom!"

The next moment, an endless sea of ​​lightning crashed down, engulfing the man. The entire Ziwei Star trembled, and a terrifying pressure made everyone afraid to breathe.

Fortunately, the Ziwei Star, also known as the Emperor Star, had the mark of an emperor undergoing tribulation reappear, thus blocking the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation; otherwise, the entire world would have been destroyed.

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar resounded, and lightning flashed intermittently atop the dark clouds, accompanied by the furious roar of a true dragon.

No one knows what happened up there.

"Hey!"

A celestial river appeared, its dazzling light illuminating the world. The boundless black sky was split by a white line—a divine light of unparalleled brilliance.

It split the entire sky apart!

The scene was extremely spectacular; everyone was stunned, and the sky and earth were...

It's been split open, divided in two!

Xu Changqing threw the bone knife into the sea of ​​lightning, allowing the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation to temper its blade and better integrate the immortal gold essence with it.

Xu Changqing, on the other hand, used his physical body to fight against a huge azure dragon, which was a quasi-emperor true dragon transformed from the heavenly tribulation.

Extremely powerful!

"Boom!"

However, Xu Changqing was even more powerful when he unleashed his full combat strength. His boundless blood energy seemed to engulf the entire heavens, and the starry sky trembled with every move he made. With one step, he disappeared instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the dragon's head, one hand gripping the dragon's horn, the other hand clenched into a fist, the white light dazzling like the sun, smashing directly into the dragon's head.

"Thump, plop!"

With a single strike of the Sun Emperor Fist, the dragon's head was pierced through, and a vast quasi-emperor aura emanated from the dragon, sweeping across the eight wastelands.

With hands forming a mudra, he drew upon the emotional power within his body, using the fundamental laws of the Great Dao to construct a wheel.

A yin-yang disc appears, with all living beings depicted on both sides: one half beaming with joy and overflowing with love, the other half weeping in despair and fear.

Xu Changqing's fingers moved like butterflies, forming hand seals and then blooming like flowers. When his hands came together and then opened again, a yin-yang wheel the size of a fist appeared between his hands.

The Yin-Yang Wheel is extremely strange, looking neither fish nor fowl. It resembles a circular scroll depicting human suffering, yet it also exudes an aura of Yin and Yang in opposition.

"boom!"

The next moment, Xu Changqing placed his hands, holding the Yin-Yang Wheel, on the Azure Dragon's forehead, and it exploded. Countless sounds came out, including despair, joy, laughter, and tears.

This move was created by Xu Changqing using the principles of Yin and Yang. With Yin and Yang as the framework and all living beings as the power, all their joys, sorrows, and happiness seem like a hell.

"boom!"

The head of the quasi-Emperor Thunder Dragon exploded, and its body was grabbed by Xu Changqing. A small opening appeared in his palm, which directly devoured the Thunder Dragon's body.

This is his modified version of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. Although it's not as powerful as the original, it's not for fighting; it's just for devouring.
