Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Xu Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, with runes of order flowing within them, as deep as the starry sky and as cold as the underworld under the moon.

Wow!

He stood up from the Nine-Colored Immortal Pool, his white hair fluttering, his body crystal clear, and his heart pounding like thunder.

He absorbed all the energy, the laws of the Great Dao, and all sorts of strange substances contained in the Nine-Colored Immortal Pool.

It must be said that the Dao Yan Emperor invented many wonderful things, and each stage could unlock the treasures of the human body and elevate the physical body to its limit.

At this moment, Xu Changqing felt an unprecedented power. He clenched his fist, and the secret room trembled. The space with the Emperor Mark cracked in his fist.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is imminent."

Xu Changqing sensed his own realm and found that he had reached the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, which meant that the heavenly tribulation in the outside world was at least the fifth level of heavenly tribulation.

"You go through your tribulation first." (Golden Battle Armor)

The will emanating from them was also stirring.

Good heavens, it had never seen anything like it before. After sleeping for ten years, it woke up to find itself at the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Moreover, it was the first time it had ever seen someone undergo five layers of Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation at once, as five layers of Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation were about to descend upon the outside world.

Xu Changqing nodded, strode out of the secret room, and stepped into the outside world.

The fresh air captivated him; after being chased for so long, he finally calmed down.

Ten years is a long time; so much can change in that time.

As for why he was able to advance to the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor in ten years, it was because when he was being chased by the Supreme Being, some of the Supreme Being's attack reverberated in his body.

Those chases back then left a deep impression on him, and he had many insights that he hadn't had time to process.

Now that he has digested it, his cultivation level has suddenly reached the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor.

Xu Changqing vaguely sensed that his other half of flesh and blood was moving rapidly.

He gave a cold laugh, his icy eyes fixed on the starry sky. "Just you wait, Underworld!"

He had considered self-destruction, but given his level of cultivation, could he really self-destruct in front of a Supreme Being?

The physical body that the underworld desires—can they allow themselves to self-destruct?

However, this is exactly what he wanted. Now that the underworld has taken his physical body, he will have a coordinate when he seeks revenge in the future, so he won't have to search everywhere.

"Boom!"

When Xu Changqing appeared in the outside world, the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation suddenly became violent, as if someone was proving the Dao, shaking the six directions and eight wastelands.

Even the Imperial Pass, located in countless star fields, sensed a suffocating aura.

Xu Changqing vanished instantly from the Eternal Starfield, leaving behind the ancient land of life and entering a desolate and lifeless starfield.

boom!

Divine lightning destroyed the world, engulfing the vast star field in its light. The colorful star field was instantly submerged by the chaotic divine lightning, and no stars could be seen in this place anymore, as they had all been shattered by the lightning.

Lightning flashed, each bolt like a galaxy, its long silver rays streaking across the dark universe, dazzling and breathtaking.

This tribulation was immense; the vast star field was actually submerged by the sea of ​​lightning, which was practically spanning across star fields. Furthermore, above the sea of ​​lightning, there were five more peculiar tribulations.

Each level of heavenly tribulation is stronger and more vast and terrifying than the previous one.

The myriad paths of the heavens trembled, the divine chains of order were shattered by lightning, and countless laws and traces of the Dao retreated.

In the universe, lightning flashed, and five layers of lightning seas spanning star fields suppressed the ravages. A single wisp of lightning divine power could shatter an entire star field, turning countless stars into dust.

Xu Changqing's white hair fluttered, his back was straight, and his black clothes swayed wildly, making a popping sound. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking expressionlessly at the heavenly tribulation above his head.

A bone knife covered in cracks appeared beside him.

Faced with such overwhelming divine power, he appeared extremely small, like a mortal facing an endless sea in despair.

This is a scene that will shock the world.

The white-haired man stood in the starry sky with five layers of lightning above his head and his hands behind his back. He was incredibly small; compared to the heavenly tribulation that spanned star domains, he was not even a microorganism.

However, the aura emanating from him was incredibly powerful, with white immortal light constantly surging out from his body and his blood energy continuously expanding.

A thick sea of ​​blood spread from Xu Changqing's body.

Come.

In an instant, the sea of ​​blood expanded, overflowing the star field and becoming incredibly vast.

"boom!"

The divine lightning finally struck; the fifth level of calamity, like the collapse of the universe, crashed down directly upon them.

Like water cascading down a waterfall, Xu Changqing, standing below, was completely submerged.

"Hey!"

The blade light was earth-shattering, severing all paths. The river of blood transformed into light, scattering the sea of ​​lightning. An extreme blade light cleaved the heavenly tribulation that traversed the star field in two!

Several days later, the heavenly tribulation here became even more violent, turning this place into a forbidden land of all heavens, where even quasi-emperors would die.

A notorious astronaut once passed through this place, only to be awestruck by what he saw.

He believed that someone was trying to become emperor!

A ray of lightning burst forth from the heavenly tribulation, breaking through its range and causing numerous nearby star fields to explode. Countless stars, like fireworks, burst forth with colorful brilliance in the dark universe.

The Star Thief saw a blurry, blood-stained figure battling the creatures within the Sea of ​​Thunder. He had previously seen a vast palace appear above the Sea of ​​Thunder, with countless humanoid lightning bolts charging past.

He was too far from the location of the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if he unleashed all his Great Sage power, he could only see the direction of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Otherwise, if they get too close, they might be killed by the divine power of the heavenly tribulation!

A month later, Lei Hai gradually disappeared, leaving only a white blade and a mangled, bloodied figure in the area.

The Star Thief was terrified. He had actually survived such a world-shaking calamity. Had this person become an emperor?

This kind of heavenly tribulation is so great that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he became an emperor, since he had never seen an emperor's tribulation before.

"open eyes!"

The blood-covered man turned his gaze in this direction, and two beams of divine light pierced through the darkness of the universe, causing countless stars to fall. His mere gaze made the myriad laws of heaven and earth tremble, and the laws of the myriad laws opened a path, as if time itself was about to explode!

The Star Thief trembled all over and knelt directly in the starry sky, not daring to look in that direction again.

That look was just a warning to himself; otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.

After Xu Changqing completed his tribulation, he returned to the Eternal Starfield, put on his golden battle armor again, changed his appearance, and left.

He is 470 years old this year, but his cultivation has reached the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, and his physical body is already immeasurably powerful.

Perhaps he's already able to have a run-in with the underworld youth from back then.

A few days later, the heavens trembled. Some said they saw an unparalleled expert undergoing tribulation to become an emperor, but there were no unusual phenomena in the world, so it was probably not an emperor.

But just listening to that person's description, and the fact that he recorded some clips with a photo stone...

Everyone believed that the powerful figure who had transcended the tribulation had become an emperor!

Chapter 104 Seeing Heaven and Earth, Seeing All Living Beings

The Big Dipper Starfield, Eastern Wilderness.

Xu Changqing arrived, his appearance and physique changed, his aura restrained, just like an ordinary person.

The Big Dipper Starfield is completely different from the maps of later generations. The Northern Region was not a barren wasteland, but a boundless oasis and a land of life.

Even the Great Emperor's lineage doesn't have that many.

In the morning, the weather was clear and bright. In the mortal city, some people were carrying heavy objects on the streets under the scorching sun.

The vendors, wearing straw hats and pushing wooden carts adorned with various decorations, were enthusiastically hawking their wares.

Xu Changqing, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a few freckles on his face, had an extremely ordinary appearance and dry hair. He walked steadily into Zhuque Town.

Following the direction of my memory, I arrived at a small corner in the west of the city, where there was a quaint little house with a sign hanging on it.

-

Qingyu Steamed Bun Shop, five big characters.

Because it was morning, there were many people here. The steamed bun shop wasn't very big. A man and a woman had smiles on their faces. The man took steamed buns out of the steamer, wrapped them in paper, and handed them to the customers.

Nearby, a woman was making soy milk.

After receiving the hot buns, pedestrians took a bite and said with a look of enjoyment, "No wonder it's an old shop with a history of over 400 years. Even the emperor would come here because of its reputation. The taste is excellent."

"Alas, my ancestor was just a waiter in the shop back then. He didn't even learn the proper skills. It was the owner of this house who went to seek the secrets and passed the recipe to my ancestor."

The man, who was extremely busy, also chuckled.

Looking at this place that was once his home, Xu Changqing felt no longer any emotion or nostalgia.

He is here now for ascetic practice, so naturally he wants to see his beloved cottage from back then.

“See the world, see all living things, and see yourself.”

The atmosphere here is very much like the secular world, with little scheming or intrigue. Everyone is busy with their own affairs and stops here and there from time to time.

Some people glanced at the breakfast stall, then sighed, shook their heads, and left.

With no money in my pocket, I dare not even dream of eating a steamed bun that even the emperor praised.

Although it's not expensive, I don't want to waste it.

Unbeknownst to anyone, behind Xu Changqing's head was a yin-yang disc, with a curved line running through the center, each side depicting various aspects of life.

They are so lifelike, with smiles or tears on their faces, one side of the sky is clear and blue, the other is covered with dark clouds.

It seems to be recording every move in the world, and all kinds of people.

Xu Changqing lingered at the shop he used to frequent for a while.

"Sir, would you like a steamed bun? Judging from your appearance, you must be here to escape from disaster."

“Our family tradition says that refugees can receive a steamed bun.”

The man, who looked to be in his thirties, sighed as he saw Xu Changqing observing his shop.

He looked at Xu Changqing, who was dressed simply and had his hair casually disheveled, like someone who had just fled a disaster.
