Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 20 Eastern Wilderness Southern Region, Attaining the Dao through the Scripture Sea Scroll

The Chaotic Ancient Three Slashes is part of the true inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, and only involves a portion of the sword techniques of the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword.

Originally, the complete inheritance was the Five Slashes of Chaos, but the last two slashes required the Chaos Battle Axe to be used, and even the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword could not withstand the power of the last two slashes.

However, one strike is enough to deal with just three petty thieves!

"Kill him!"

Wang Teng spoke.

With the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword in hand, a golden sword light appeared, and streaks of sword light danced and swirled around the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword.

The three cultivators opposite seemed surprised that this little guy was so decisive, daring to attack them directly despite their cultivation levels being significantly higher than his.

However, the three monks did not feel fear; instead, they were filled with anticipation.

"As expected, it's a member of a large family who sneaked out to play all by himself!" one of them exclaimed in surprise.

They noticed this little guy when they were crossing the void through the domain gate.

Among a group of cultivators, a lone child is conspicuous, which is why they had designs on him.

Now that they saw Wang Teng take out the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword, they were overjoyed.

The golden Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword is clearly no ordinary item. If we can obtain it, the rewards will be substantial!

Even when faced with Wang Teng's attack, the three cultivators wore smiles, and the two leading cultivators from the Dao Palace Secret Realm didn't take Wang Teng's attack seriously at all.

Could a mere fellow at the Other Shore Realm possibly injure two cultivators at the second level of the Dao Palace Realm?
They thought confidently.

However, when the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword fell, one of them changed his expression.

"Is this a cultivator at the Other Shore Realm?" roared a cultivator at the second level of the Dao Palace.

As soon as the sword light fell, he sensed something was wrong. His body glowed as he tried to block the attack, but when the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword fell, the glow on his body was shattered instantly.

He was sent flying backwards, leaving a trail of blood in mid-air.

"My level is still a bit too low..." Wang Teng said with some regret.

The Heavenly Emperor Holy Sword is undoubtedly a sacred weapon. Even its inherited technique—the Chaotic Ancient Three Slashes, which is most compatible with the Heavenly Emperor Holy Sword—could not kill a cultivator at the second level of the Dao Palace in one strike.

Ultimately, it comes down to one's own low level of understanding.

However, Wang Teng's mutterings sounded like boasting to the three people opposite him.

"Something's wrong! Retreat!"

Another cultivator at the second level of the Dao Palace turned and ran, showing no regard for the safety of his companion.

But how could Wang Teng let the other party go so easily?

The Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword unleashed its sword light once more, striking the second Dao Palace Second Heaven cultivator on the back, slicing a huge gash that sent flesh and bone fragments flying out and falling through the air.

The cultivator at the second level of the Dao Palace let out a wail and fell to the ground.

The Heavenly Emperor Holy Sword is, after all, a legendary holy weapon. Although it is limited by Wang Teng's realm and cannot unleash its true power, how could the wounds left by a legendary holy weapon be repaired by the cultivators of the Dao Palace Secret Realm?

The cultivators from both Dao Palace Secret Realms were groaning on the ground, enduring the excruciating pain of the sacred weapons corroding their bones.

If Wang Teng hadn't been lacking in cultivation level, the residual power of the legendary holy weapon alone would have been enough to suppress and kill countless cultivators in Dao Palace Secret Realms.

The only cultivator at the Other Shore Realm originally planned to build a divine bridge to escape, but seeing the fate of his two elder brothers, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "This junior knows his mistake! Please, senior, show mercy!"

Wang Teng glanced at them, expressionless, and swung his sword, killing the cultivator at the Other Shore Realm. Then, following their auras, he found the other two cultivators at the Dao Palace Secret Realm and directly attacked and killed them.

Wang Teng knew that these people were definitely not good people. They were probably not doing this kind of murder and robbery for the first time, which was why they were so skilled at cooperating.

Such scum would be killed outright by Wang Teng if he were in the Wang family, let alone cultivators outside the Wang family.

The Wang family patriarch, who had been protecting Wang Teng along the way, was pleased to see this. Kindness without being overly kind and decisiveness in the face of adversity are also essential qualities of a strong person.

As for Wang Teng's ability to overcome so many realms to kill a cultivator at the second level of the Dao Palace, the Wang family patriarch was not particularly surprised.

Wang Teng, bearing the legacy of the Great Emperor and wielding a sealed, legendary holy weapon, was naturally expected to perform in this manner.

After killing these cultivators, Wang Teng didn't even have the desire to search their bodies for spoils.

What good stuff could a few rogue monks possibly have?

Moreover, they had just used the domain gate to teleport, and the entrance fee alone had probably exhausted their money.

He directly erected a divine bridge and headed towards the southern region of the eastern wilderness.

Along the way, he asked for directions many times and finally arrived near Lingxu Cave.

He had no intention of joining the Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Within the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, the strongest are only at the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and most of the elders are at the Divine Bridge Beyond Realm. With Wang Teng's current realm, once he enters the sect, he will directly become an elder or a supreme elder.

As for concealing one's true level, spending several or even decades here is truly unnecessary.

After arriving outside the Lingxu Cave Heaven, Wang Teng observed it for several days. The situation here was similar to that in the original story: there were not many disciples, and their abilities varied greatly.

He had stopped near Lingxu Cave Heaven, but to his regret, he did not sense the aura of the Daoist scriptures.

"As expected, only those destined to be the protagonist can sense this aura." Wang Teng left with regret.

Then, the next day, he communicated with the powerful ancestor who was secretly protecting him, and shielded himself from the perception of everyone around him as he dug his way through.

"I know you're here, do you think I'd let you get away?" Wang Teng first used his sacred weapon as a hoe, venturing deeper and deeper until he finally found the Demon Emperor's tomb.

Just as he had anticipated, the demon race was already making preparations.

The Demon Emperor's tomb is loosening, and although it hasn't been fully opened yet, this is the best time to do so!
The powerful patriarch of the Wang family was stunned by what he saw.

What kind of chosen one is this, to be able to find such a large tomb near a small sect?
Moreover, judging from the fluctuations, it must be a tomb of at least a saint-level being!
Wang Teng secretly circled the Demon Emperor's tomb for a long time. Without disturbing the demon race, he first transformed into a short, fat Taoist priest. Then, using the methods from the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, he entered the Demon Emperor's tomb with great difficulty. On a platform in the center of a side hall, he saw a golden page.

Wang Teng picked up the golden pages and confirmed that this was indeed the Daoist scripture.

He put the golden pages into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, using the nine large characters from the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture to suppress the past and future, achieving a brief eternity. Then he quickly memorized the characters to prevent the writing on the golden pages from disappearing.

After obtaining the Daoist Scripture Wheel Sea Scroll and memorizing the large characters inscribed in the scripture, he took out the golden pages and put them back in the distance.

He does not need the Golden Daoist Scripture as a magic weapon.

He's already burdened with so much suffering that he can hardly let go of anything more.

There are three or four items of the level of legendary holy weapons alone, and above them is a real imperial weapon, and at the bottom is Wang Teng's own artifact - the Source of the Dao.

A single page of the golden Daoist scripture might be a priceless treasure to others, but to Wang Teng, it was nothing more than a useless trifle. He had far more powerful tools for both offense and defense.

As for the other items in the Demon Emperor's tomb, Wang Teng was not interested. Whether it was the Demon Emperor's weapon in the main hall or the green copper block hidden somewhere, they were all things with great karmic consequences, and Wang Teng did not want to touch them.

After doing all this, Wang Teng quietly left the Demon Emperor's Tomb without leaving any trace.
