Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Perhaps her arrival was a mistake, but she wanted to try and see if he would come to her rescue if she were really kidnapped.

Even if I get kidnapped, I still have a quasi-emperor weapon to fight back.

P.S.: Damn, my brain's been a bit foggy lately, I even got the name wrong.

Chapter 69 The Ruthless Great Emperor's Heart Flutters? (Part 2)

Xu Changqing followed several Great Saints who were chasing Tuntian, but discovered that there were even more powerful figures in the shadows who were also chasing Tuntian.

"There are the auras of evil gods and holy spirits in the shadows." Duan De frowned and muttered. If there really were outsiders participating in this hunt, then Devouring Heaven would be in serious trouble.

Now, she no longer possesses supreme magical power, nor is she a Great Sage, nor can she kill her enemies like she did when she used the Quasi-Emperor's Tomb.

Now all we can do is run.

Xu Changqing frowned slightly. If it really was an evil god, then it would be troublesome, because the evil god possessed the ultimate weapon, the Refining God Pot.

In this era, human imperial artifacts are extremely rare, almost all of them are in the hands of others and have not been scattered abroad.

On the road to becoming an emperor, Xu Changqing only knows where the Immortal Execution Sword is and how to obtain it, but he just can't get it.

Without the secret techniques of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, it's impossible to withstand the killing intent of the killing sword.

Once you get close to the Immortal Execution Sword, you'll probably be killed instantly by its aura.

I know where it is and how to get it, but I don't have the authentic immortal scriptures of Lingbao Tianzun, so I can forget about getting the Zhuxian Sword.

Even if the Demon Emperor's tomb were in the starry sky, he couldn't enter it, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to get the broken Demon Emperor's Ruler.

Because the Demon Emperor's obsession still lingers, and there's also an unconventional dragon-horse that has become an emperor, there's absolutely no hope.

The further into the Golden Age we go, the more dangerous the world becomes. Without imperial artifacts, it is difficult to withstand those powerful individuals who possess them.

It might be possible to obtain the immortal robe of the Dao Yan Emperor, because the scriptures given by the Dao Yan Emperor contain the incantation for finding the Dao Yan immortal robe. You can use the Dao sound to search for the Dao Yan immortal robe, and then the Dao Yan immortal robe will appear.

After all, it's an equal exchange. If I become an emperor, my bone sword will protect Dao Yi, which is dispensable to Dao Yi.

But I can't do it now. I don't have an Emperor Weapon, so it will be hard for me to survive in the future unless I reach the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor and my physical body can withstand the divine power of the Emperor Weapon.

But right now, he's still far from being a quasi-emperor.

Xu Changqing was pondering where the Dao Yan Immortal Robe was. It seemed to be with the gods, or perhaps beside Dao Yi in his slumber.

"Forget it, after becoming a Great Sage, I'll leave my name on the Crystal Tablet, travel through the heavens, find the cultivation techniques and immortal scriptures of the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, and find the Immortal Golden Battle Armor."

Outside, several terrifying auras were pressing down on the heavens. In the starry sky, stunning lights would occasionally flash, splitting the starry sky, the Great Sage's power overwhelming the world.

This pursuit lasted an incredibly long time, with Devouring Heaven constantly teetering on the brink of death.

Every now and then, they would be caught up by some great sages, fight with them, and then run away again.

Xu Changqing followed this for three years, never showing his face, quietly watching from behind the scenes.

Three years on the run left her increasingly exhausted, her health deteriorating day by day. She had no respite, no rest, and was constantly on the verge of death.

If it weren't for the image of her brother being taken away by the Feathered Divine Dynasty constantly replaying in her mind, she might not have been able to hold on any longer.

His divine power was depleted, his origin was damaged, his primordial spirit was cracked, and his physical body was somewhat grayish-white and covered with various corpse spots.

Devouring Heaven's face remained calm, though blood continuously trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his long, jet-black hair swayed wildly.

He flew backward, covered in blood, his face pale.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a giant axe appeared in the void and cleaved directly at Devouring Heaven. In fact, the aura of Great Sages burst forth from all directions.

It happened so suddenly, as if it had been waiting right in front of us!

Four unfamiliar Great Sages suddenly appeared, tearing through the surrounding void without anyone noticing, as they had treasures to conceal their auras.

"when!"

With his black hair flowing freely and his blood-red robes billowing, he stood firmly in the starry sky. He activated the black spear in his hand, swept it around fiercely, and wisps of quasi-emperor divine power spread out, unleashing a dazzling spear light.

The black spearhead pierced the void, bringing with it an immense quasi-emperor-level pressure that blocked the giant axe and various great saint weapons.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from above, and a huge black nail fell from the sky, piercing straight into the top of Devouring Heaven's head.

"puff!"

The black nail pierced into the small head, bursting with bursts of dark light, and even strange black runes spread out. Black threads, like tentacles, wrapped around the Devourer's body.

It was too fast; I didn't even have time to react.

The moment the needle pierced her head, Tuntian's mind went blank. A strange sensation made her roll her eyes, and she stood there stunned, as if her soul had been pulled out.

Her brown pupils quickly disappeared, leaving her with wide, beautiful autumn eyes, and then black lines began to appear on her face.

"what!"

The next moment, Tuntian let out a shrill wail, her blood-red dress fluttered, and blood was flung out of the starry sky. The intense pain was unbearable for her.

It wasn't just physical pain, but more so the pain of the primordial spirit and the origin. The primordial spirit was locked up, as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives, and it felt as if it would be annihilated at any moment.

Duan De saw that Tuntian was wailing and his eyelids twitched involuntarily. He said, "Damn it, that's a great sacred artifact, specifically designed to target the primordial spirit. It was actually pierced straight into Tuntian's crown chakra. He's going to die soon."

"Moreover, these Great Saints seemed to have planned this all along. Five Great Saints actually appeared at once. Four Great Saints were responsible for interfering with Devouring Heaven's perception, making her concentrate on dealing with the four of them. The last one used some secret technique to launch a surprise attack from above her."

"boom!"

Suddenly, a small bump appeared on Tuntian's left hand. On his jade-white arm, a small black bump seemed to be wriggling with something inside, and finally it burst open.

A swarm of black insects, imbued with golden primordial spirit energy, burst forth from Devouring Heaven's left hand, growing ever larger like dark clouds.

This black worm is actually gnawing at the primordial spirit of Devouring Heaven!

Immediately afterwards, small black bumps began to appear on her exquisite and beautiful face, with something wriggling inside them as well.

This is chilling and terrifying to look at.

"Hehehe, you think you can survive after being hit by my Evil Insect Soul-Devouring Needle?" A blurry figure stood beside Devouring Heaven, sneering sinisterly.

"Whoo~"

A scorching wind appeared, and a fiery red storm swept across the starry sky, causing all the Great Sages to flee from the area; the wind was simply too terrifying.

It made even the Great Sage of the Human Race feel a burning sensation on his skin, as if he had fallen into a rock.

In the slurry, within two seconds, the person was drenched in sweat, as if they were about to melt.

It was as if a quasi-emperor had made his move.

"Boom!"

The starry sky trembled, the universe collapsed, and at the edge of the ancient human path, a red-haired middle-aged man appeared. The moment he appeared, a terrifying aura swept across the entire area.

The intense heat terrified everyone.

"boom!"

Among those besieging Devourer was an old man with green hair. He was a Holy Spirit Great Saint who originally wanted to seek revenge on Wuqing, but by a twist of fate, he encountered Devourer and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Senior, we don't know where Wuqing is, but we have captured Tuntian."

The green-haired elder spoke respectfully, ignoring the fear of the human powerhouse beside him.

"Destroy her primordial spirit, take her physical body back, and nourish it with her blood." The red-haired middle-aged man spoke coldly. With his great supernatural powers, he pried open the Human Race's Imperial Path and shattered the protective barrier on it.

"Hey!"

An even more terrifying sword light appeared, slashing directly at the Holy Spirit Quasi-Emperor.

Xu Changqing saw it; it was a blurry figure holding a purple immortal sword, and he immediately gave chase.

"There's something strange about you, like some kind of being watching you from the shadows," the Holy Spirit Quasi-Emperor mentioned before hurriedly running away.

"Damn it, when did the human race have a Quasi-Emperor level seven expert?"

The Holy Spirit Quasi-Emperor was also extremely frustrated. He was only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm. If he hadn't been a Holy Spirit, he might have been killed long ago.

After all, he had been hunted down for several years and could not go back, and that woman was fierce.

Duan De's heart skipped a beat, his pupils contracted, and he said in a trembling voice, "Impossible! How could a quasi-emperor possibly see through my treasure?"

"That can't be right, I found this treasure in the tomb of a quasi-emperor."

He couldn't believe that his prized possession had been discovered by a quasi-emperor of the Holy Spirit Clan.

Xu Changqing remained calm and said, "Even quasi-emperors have varying strengths."

At this moment, all the Great Sages outside became vigilant, their vast and boundless divine senses sealing off the void, like a net covering the sky and earth, locking down everything here.

They would act immediately at the slightest sign of any disturbance or even the faintest hint of something.

Devouring Heaven had just used that move to kill four Great Saints, and had been chased by six Great Saints for several years. Now, it was severely injured by five more Great Saints ahead, and was also severely injured by Nails. It couldn't escape.

"What should we do?" Duan De asked. If they ignored Devouring Heaven, they could still run away.

After some thought, Xu Changqing realized that he had already stepped into the Great Sage realm with one foot in it, and with the three years of cultivation he had spent following several Great Sages, he was already capable of entering the Great Sage realm.

Devouring Heaven cannot die; if he dies, what will happen to his Devouring Heaven Demon Art?

As long as he obtains the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he doesn't care how she dies.

Not now, because he still needs to refine his own laws.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was silent and staring indifferently outside, Duan De mistakenly assumed that he was about to leave, so he abandoned Tuntian and tried to escape on his treasure.

But as soon as he activated the treasure, he could no longer sense Xu Changqing's presence.

"puff!"

"what!!"

Suddenly, everything outside turned white, accompanied by extremely pitiful screams, which startled Duan De, who looked outside.

but

They discovered that the man had disheveled white hair, was wielding a bone knife, and had cleaved the green-haired Holy Spirit powerhouse in two with a single strike!

Afterwards, Xu Changqing used the Emperor's Movement technique and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already standing next to Devouring Heaven.

Xu Changqing placed his right hand on Tuntian's head, grabbed a protruding metal nail, and pulled it outwards with a sudden force.
