Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Scared.

Moreover, after this tribulation, his realm has reached the level of a half-step saint. With just a little effort, he can break through that membrane and completely enter the saint realm.

There's nothing we can do; his heavenly tribulation is just too abnormal.

"I wonder how she is doing." Xu Changqing thought of the Ruthless Great Emperor in his youth.

At this moment, her cultivation level should be about the same as mine.

She had no name and rarely spoke; people simply called her the female demon or the woman in white.

Xu Changqing knew her name was Xiao Nannan, but she wasn't little anymore, so calling her Xiao Nannan wouldn't work. Calling her Nannan? That wasn't good.

Under a clear blue sky, the grassland stretches out like a vast green sea, rolling endlessly.

Xu Changqing had no idea where he was. Back then, Bone Blade used the Great Sage's Divine Speed ​​Talisman to move rapidly into the universe, traversing countless star fields and arriving at some unknown inhabited star field.

"Let's find a place to restore my knife."

He now possesses many precious materials, but lacks celestial gold. However, he does have divine iron, the material at the highest tier below celestial gold.

Instead of fusing the divine iron into the bone knife, he allowed the bone knife's deity to absorb the essence of the divine iron and strengthen itself.

Xu Changqing casually found a place to stop, stood on the grassland, took out the broken bone knife, and then took out more than a dozen kinds of precious materials below the level of immortal gold, and began to help the bone knife refine the essence of divine iron.

In the Big Dipper Starfield, a woman in white stood quietly in the starry sky. She gazed in the direction where Xu Changqing was undergoing his tribulation, fell silent, and then left without looking back.

Having survived this tribulation, she has reached a new level in her cultivation, and is now able to fight against the Dao body of the young emperor—an opportunity that countless people dream of but cannot obtain.

Although she and Xu Changqing were constantly being overwhelmed, they unleashed boundless potential in the face of life and death.

The woman in white successfully survived the heavenly tribulation and reached the peak of the Dao-Slaying Realm, about to enter the Saint Realm.

She glanced back at the Big Dipper Star Region, her gaze seemingly piercing through the endless starry sky, and looked at the Feathered Divine Dynasty with murderous intent.

Finally, she resolutely turned and left, walking through the starry sky, to conquer the Emperor's Road.

The Feathered Divine Dynasty possessed such profound resources that if she hadn't fortuitously obtained a divine artifact that concealed her aura, thus evading the perceptions of quasi-emperors and great saints, she would have been killed long ago.

Embark on the ancient path through the starry sky, return with unparalleled cultivation, and annihilate the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Within the Big Dipper, she fought against many beings with different physical constitutions, killing many king-level beings and several god-level beings, but these were not enough to perfect her Dao.

Therefore, on this journey to the throne, she will surely return as the Empress!

However, she still felt a little sorry for Xu Changqing, after all, Xu Changqing's physique was also mortal, but his comprehension was just as good as hers.

Moreover, both of them were alone and had no one to rely on.

And it was also her preacher, Xu Changqing's death, that she found particularly regrettable.

"The two demons of the era, who were once incredibly dazzling, defeated the Holy Son of the Qiankun Holy Land, killed the Ice Body of the Bright Moon Palace, and brought the Divine Body of the Misty Holy Land to the brink of death in their mortal forms. Unfortunately, they perished."

"The female demon's record is dazzling; many royal bodies have fallen to her, but to this day, the reason why..."

Her name.

"Judging from their state of undergoing tribulation, even the peerless geniuses like the Feathered God Child who went to the ancient road would perish at their hands."

Everyone felt sorry for them, since they had never seen or heard of anyone without a special physique being able to defeat a god, giving hope to those of them with mortal bodies.

Even a divine body is not invincible.

Xu Jin stood quietly by the window, gazing at the starry sky, a look of sadness on his face. He had great respect for Xu Changqing.

He even considered himself Xu Changqing's master, and even though Xu Changqing didn't acknowledge him, he shamelessly claimed to be Xu Changqing's master.

He has only been cultivating for over twenty years, yet he is already a cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"Although I am a frog, not a human, as long as I am strong enough, I can fight on the Emperor's Road in the name of your disciple, which will not bury your reputation." Xu Jin muttered to himself, his gaze becoming even more determined.

Although he only crossed paths with Xu Changqing once, he wouldn't be who he is today without Xu Changqing.

Perhaps he is still a golden frog, soaking in filthy marshes, or lying quietly in the belly of some wild beast, waiting to die.

Meanwhile, Xu Changqing had already restored his bone knife. The blade was crystal clear, and both the hilt and the blade were made of milky white jade.

On the milky white blade, there were several lines, and a scarlet line spread along the edge, with only the blade itself being scarlet.

"Mea~"

On the other side of the grassland, the bleating of sheep could be heard, and Xu Changqing naturally turned his gaze in that direction.

They found a boy who looked only sixteen years old lying quietly on the grass, legs crossed, basking in the warm sunlight, a blade of grass between his lips, and forty sheep.

In his arms was a tiny lamb, so small it looked like a puppy, nestled quietly in the boy's embrace.

This was the first human being that Xu Changqing had encountered after traveling for a long time, but he ignored it.

People who appear in such places are either unparalleled masters or old monsters.

Chapter 11 Asking

"Without emotion, there is no motivation for cultivation. You have gone down the wrong path." A somewhat immature voice came from the plains, like a thunderclap in Xu Changqing's ears.

Xu Changqing retorted without hesitation: "No one has the right to judge my path. There is no right or wrong path, only forks. There may be obstacles on the forks, but as long as you overcome the obstacles, you can reach the destination."

There were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walked on them, they naturally appeared.

Can the ways of the ancient emperors be judged by others?

Perhaps your path has flaws, but you haven't gone astray. Even if you have gone astray, you should persevere to the end!

Xu Changqing knew that it was the shepherd boy who spoke up, that the boy was asking a question, wanting to challenge his path.

He was naturally unafraid, because his Dao heart was firm and no one could disturb his Dao heart.

"You're right. If you've severed your emotions, what reason do you have to cultivate?" the boy continued softly, his tone slightly intrigued.

He was very curious as to why Xu Changqing was able to sever his emotions and thus survive the tribulation.

Because when a person has no emotions and only the Tao in their heart, they can be on par with the Great Tao.

Because the Tao has no emotions.

"To become an emperor, to become an immortal, to achieve immortality." Xu Changqing's answer was simple.

"And what happens after you become an emperor, an immortal, and live forever?" the boy continued to ask.

Throughout history, countless ancient emperors perished in their quest for immortality.

The only person in legend to become an immortal was called the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

But those are just legendary figures recorded in scattered ancient history records; whether they actually existed or not, no one knows.

Moreover, apart from the ancient emperors, very few people know of this person's existence.

If there are no emotions, what is the point of becoming an emperor, an immortal, or achieving eternal life?

"We'll talk about it after it's done." Xu Changqing didn't look back at the boy, but kept walking forward, step by step on the vast lawn.

He didn't know whether he would succeed or not; he only knew that he had done his best.

Success or failure, these are all normal parts of life; no one is immune to failure.

No one has a guaranteed ending; if it doesn't work out, it's because they lack the luck or the talent.

The boy kept watching Xu Changqing's back. The figure, not particularly tall, appeared somewhat lonely, with flowing white hair and firm steps. He sighed softly and then slowly disappeared from the spot.

Even as they disappeared, they didn't forget to leave a few words behind.

"Stepping into the starry sky will allow you to enter the ancient path of human trials."

"I'm curious about your final achievement: will you fade into obscurity or rise to prominence?"

"Let nature take its course. Whether I succeed or fail, I feel neither sadness nor frustration. As long as I've tried my best, that's enough," Xu Changqing replied calmly.

He first looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, and the tender green grass swayed gently in the breeze.

He didn't know who the boy was, but he figured he must be a powerful figure, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to sense even the slightest bit of the other's aura.

Xu Changqing, dressed in black with his white hair cascading over his shoulders and deep eyes like a moonlit spring, walked step by step into the sky, standing tall beneath the vast expanse of land, looking down at the boundless grassland below.

At first glance, this place is only

There is grassland, but no buildings or tall trees.

His immense divine sense swept out, only to find the same thing.

"It seems that he created this world," Xu Changqing muttered to himself, referring, of course, to the boy.

He didn't want to know who the boy was, nor was he curious, because none of that mattered to him.

Instead of trying to find out who that boy is, it's better to improve your own strength.

When you have the strength, you'll naturally know everything.

"Now that we have successfully severed our path, let's conquer the Emperor's Road!"

"So what if we were born in the same era as her? We'll still fight and kill, until one of us becomes emperor."

Xu Changqing thought of the woman in white, but instead of being afraid because of her achievements in his mind, he was filled with fighting spirit.

"It seems she has also embarked on the ancient path of the stars." Xu Changqing's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, his eyes icy.

Back in the Big Dipper Star Region, he had interacted with many young people and was also hunted down by many forces. But those people have either lost their Dao hearts and fallen in the Big Dipper Star Region, or embarked on the ancient star road.

He almost killed his own son, and now he has embarked on the ancient road to the stars.

Xu Changqing silently adjusted his state in this world. Although he was in good condition, he had just successfully survived the tribulation and needed to recuperate for a while.

He began to realize that his Supreme Ruthless Physique was a near-Daoist physique, equivalent to a pre-natal Dao embryo, and also possessed characteristics that a pre-natal Dao embryo did not have.

That is, they are extremely sensitive to special emotions. For example, a well-disguised assassin can detect even the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

For example, he can detect when hypocritical people try to assassinate or scheme against him.

Moreover, his sea of ​​suffering was as clear and transparent as a mirror, without any turbidity, which was different from the sea of ​​suffering of all other cultivators.

His Dao Palace nurtures the source of his emotions, which can transform into deities and form the prototype of terrifying secret arts.

His altar was like a staircase in the sky, golden and mirror-like, as if stepping over those steps would lead to immortality and eternal life.

Above the mirror-like sea of ​​suffering, there was a bizarre sight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It was a cruel and desolate picture: the sky was dark red, the heavens and earth were cracked, countless magma spewed out from the cracks in the ground, billowing black smoke swept in, and an endless sea of ​​blood roared.
