Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

too strong.

The young man also returned to his original form, exuding the aura of a saint, and his body was surrounded by golden lightning, with a golden sea of ​​lightning appearing behind him.

"I want you to pay with your life!"

The thin young man gritted his teeth and said, his mind was in a mess because he had gone completely insane.

"boom!"

The thin young man blocked Xu Changqing's slap and was about to rush over when he felt dizzy and then saw his body gushing blood.

Xu Changqing suddenly appeared beside him, grabbed the young man's hair with his right hand, and pulled hard, tearing his head off. With a final slap, he destroyed the frail young man's soul.

Those who had just arrived at the Imperial Road were immediately thrown into turmoil. They had initially been watching the show with amusement, but now they were beginning to question the meaning of life.

Without a doubt, that thin young man must have a special physique.

But he was easily killed by the white-haired youth.

We dare not provoke them.

How dare you seek revenge without any real strength, and how dare you provoke others without being 100% certain of success?

Xu Changqing ignored the two corpses on the ground and walked directly to the end of the road, arriving at an open space. The space in front of him exuded an ancient and vast aura, as if he were facing an ancient emperor.

It inspired awe and fear, inspiring no murderous intent in anyone.

Ahead, a black wall blocked everyone's view. There were traces of blood that had not yet dried on the black bricks, as well as marks from swords and axes. A huge bronze door was tightly closed.

This is the first hurdle for the human race.

However, given Xu Changqing's cultivation level, staying in the first level of the human race is useless; he is now a saint.

They should have gone straight into the deepest part to fight.

Chapter 37 The Guide

"Who is he?" All the younger generation present were asking themselves.

Who was so monstrous as to kill a saint in just a few moves? This was something they had never seen before.

In the open space, an intense killing intent spread, and a vast aura of blood covered the entire area, turning the whole world dark red.

That was the bloodlust and killing intent that they had carried for many years without fading away.

But Xu Changqing was the only one who remained calm and peaceful, showing absolutely no murderous intent, and he simply appeared rather indifferent.

A young man holding a paper fan walked up to Xu Changqing, looked him over carefully, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Brother Dao, why have I never heard of your reputation in the starry sky?"

Logically speaking, whenever such an event occurs—killing a sacred beast in one move or a powerful individual with a special physique in a few moves—it will be discovered and eventually spread to the Imperial Pass in a special way.

Xu Changqing's eyes were incredibly deep, like a secluded spring under the moon. He did not respond to the man's words, but simply gazed quietly at the city in front of him.

The young man held a paper fan, a peaceful smile on his face, and wore a blue robe, looking like a scholar. However, at this moment, he was also somewhat embarrassed.

How could this white-haired young man be so rude? He tried to get closer to the younger generation and wanted to learn about their historical records, but the man clearly didn't want to talk to him.

"Brother Dao, where do you come from?"

"Brother Dao, what's your name?"

As long as I'm not embarrassed, the one who's embarrassed is this white-haired young man.

But clearly, the young man was overthinking things. Xu Changqing had no intention of paying attention to anyone and simply waited quietly for the door to open.

"Hey, brat, someone's asking you a question, what's with the sullen face? You want to get fucked?!" At this moment, a burly man riding an ancient beast walked up to Xu Changqing. He exuded a vast blood aura, like a boundless ocean.

Judging from his appearance, he is also a powerful individual who has just emerged from the Trial Path.

What he disliked most was Xu Changqing, a person who ignored everyone. Also, why was he expressionless? He looked like everyone owed him something, which made him quite annoyed.

As for why he was so irritable, it was naturally because he knew that young scholar.

"Lin Feng, long time no see. What did this brat do to you?" The burly man, riding an ancient beast resembling a Qilin, asked Lin Feng with a smile.

Lin Feng was the young man holding the paper fan. He was very handsome and dashing. Some women would blush when they saw his face. He was very good-looking.

Unfortunately, he was now sweating profusely and quickly moved away from Xu Changqing, also pulling the burly man away with him.

Xu Changqing didn't stop him; he was just a piece of trash, a half-saint, and he couldn't be bothered with him.

"What's wrong? Why are you sweating?" the burly man asked, puzzled.

Lin Feng condensed his primordial spirit power into a line, his lips moved slightly, and he said, "Old Han, stop talking, or you'll die."

"Did you see the corpse behind that white-haired man?"

The burly man looked behind Xu Changqing and immediately noticed that the two corpses were emanating an aura that made him feel suffocated; they were two saints.

"and then?"

"He killed them. He killed that sacred beast in one move and the prodigy with the special physique in a few moves." Lin Feng gestured for the burly man to look.

To Xu Changqing.

The burly man was also dumbfounded, swallowing hard. Anyone who could get here was a ruthless person, and even a saint might not be able to get in.

Because most of the people here are semi-saints, and there are almost no saints, but Xu Changqing is an exception. He is not only a saint, but also a powerful person who can easily kill a saint.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure erupted from the city wall. A middle-aged man in black armor stood in the city wall, coldly watching the crowd, and then said: "Silence. Before the Imperial Gate, there shall be no killing or fighting!"

"Otherwise, don't even think about getting in!"

The aura emanating from him made it hard for the many young people present to breathe; the suffocating feeling made their eyes almost pop out—it was terrifying.

"At least a Saint King!"

"Why is he alright?!"

Of everyone present, only Xu Changqing remained calm, standing quietly in place, silently watching the soldiers on the city wall.

Soon, the scene quieted down. The Saint King Captain simply stood on the city wall, gave Xu Changqing a deep look, and then stepped back.

"Buzz!"

A gentle breeze swept by, and the younger generation present were all restored. They all looked towards the city gate.

A blurry figure was found floating in the middle of the city gate. The figure was shrouded in chaotic energy and could not be seen clearly. It was even unknown whether it was male or female.

He didn't even have any aura; he looked just like a mortal.

“I am your guide, and I will now tell you the rules of the Imperial Road.”

"Within the city walls of the Imperial Road, there is no fighting or killing. Any grudges can be settled as long as you can enter the training grounds."

The aged voice echoed throughout the empty space.

"Also, don't provoke those you shouldn't provoke." As he said this, the guide gave Xu Changqing a deep look.

As the guide of the ancient path, and also a Great Sage, he would naturally understand the human powerhouses in the starry sky.

According to the geniuses from the Burial Emperor Star in the fiftieth level, there are two even more monstrous figures who haven't arrived yet.

Everyone present turned their gaze to the silent Xu Changqing, and even the envoy advised them not to provoke him.

This person seems to be an extremely terrifying individual.

"Come with me, this is not your battlefield." The guide appeared in front of Xu Changqing in an instant, his face filled with a dense aura of chaos, and his eyes shining like divine lamps.

Xu Changqing nodded and followed behind the guide.

The guide asked again, "And the last one?"

He was referring to the woman in white.

Xu Changqing shook his head and did not speak.

The guide suddenly asked, "Xu Changqing, after you severed your emotions, why do you still want to compete on the Imperial Road and become an emperor? Shouldn't you be detached from worldly affairs and not care about worldly matters?"

"Or are you running away?"

He didn't quite understand. A person without feelings has no goals, and having goals means having some kind of feeling.

However, he still wanted to see how Xu Changqing's Dao heart was.

Xu Changqing remained completely calm, not caring how the guide knew his name, and said, "That depends on how you understand the word 'emotion'."

"In my opinion, emotions are the most troublesome thing on the road to becoming an emperor."

"Of course, any of you can refute my point of view, after all, everyone has a different perspective on every matter."

"Some people believe that being ruthless means having no ambition, pursuit, or emotions, and that one should look down on the world from a high place and gaze at the stars."

"If you get an opportunity, don't be greedy and just leave it where it is. This is some people's understanding of ruthlessness. If you take it, it means you are greedy."

"If you don't take it, how can you rise up, how can you attain enlightenment? So, it's contradictory."

I don't want to explain that much.

The guide listened quietly. Unlike the other guides, he simply did what he had to do: be himself.

However, he asked these questions with a purpose.

He also didn't want to put Xu Changqing in the human race's dozen or so levels, because he was already a saint, and the human race's level before level fifty wouldn't be of much use to him.

It would be better to go directly to the Seven Golden Cities, where the young generation from all over the universe gathers and meets for the first time.

Amidst the complex gazes of the younger generation, Xu Changqing disappeared along with the guide.

The Guide is a powerful figure in the Imperial Pass; I've heard that his minimum cultivation level is Great Sage.

Even the Great Sage advised them not to provoke the white-haired man.

After Xu Changqing disappeared, people soon began to appear from the ancient road.

P.S.: I'm going to take my driving test (Part 2) these next few days. I have to get up at 7 a.m. every day, and I'm completely exhausted.

Thank you all for your generous donations.

Chapter 38 The Cruel Path to Emperorship

The creatures that had just arrived at the gates of the Imperial Pass fell silent when they saw Xu Changqing being personally led into the city by the guide.
