Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Xu Changqing took another step, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed. A magnificent, colorful starry river swept past him.

Big Black noticed that a white halo protected it.

Giant, glowing rocks flashed past its eyes, an endless galaxy was reflected in its eyes, and the enormous sun was blindingly bright.

Fortunately, it was covered by a white halo, otherwise the light alone would have blinded the big black thing.

Big Black was dumbfounded

Looking ahead at Xu Changqing, he asked, "Master, where is this?"

I've never even seen a place like this in a book.

“The universe, the starry sky,” Xu Changqing said calmly.

But Big Black's legs trembled, and he said in a shaky voice, "Is this above the heavens?"

Xu Changqing nodded. Dahei's courage still needs to be honed, but he also knew that Dahei was just an ordinary cow.

Even saints feel a sense of panic and loneliness when facing the starry sky.

Besides, Niu Niu is still a naive and inexperienced young man.

"Where are we going?" Big Black's eyes were still bright. Having left his hometown, where were they going?

"The Other Side of Myth".

Xu Changqing plans to obtain the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Judging from the information he learned at the gathering, that Holy Spirit has risen and his cultivation level is now that of a Quasi-Emperor.

Devouring Heaven's fate is unknown; he is still being hunted.

Xu Changqing quickened his pace and headed towards the ancient road of the human race.

Along the way, Big Black went from fear to curiosity, and finally to appreciation. It even started drawing and writing notes.

On the yellowed book, Da Hei wrote the date.

Big Black's Diary:

"In the second month with my master, he took me to the heavens, which he called the cosmos, the destination being the mythical other side."

"He said he would take me to travel among the stars and broaden my horizons. My master rarely speaks, but he is very kind to me."

Big Black sat inside the white light shield, its posture just like a human's, with one hoof holding a writing brush and the other supporting a yellowed book.

Time passed, and Xu Changqing did not rush on his way. Instead, he let Dahei broaden its horizons, build its courage, and teach it cultivation.

It can be said that Dahei is Xu Changqing's only partner.

"In the third year with my master, I have broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm today. In these three years, I have traveled to many places, enjoying the scenery with my master and visiting various small worlds."

"While my master was cultivating, I secretly found a white heifer in the mountains. I must say, the heifer was very attractive; my back was aching."

"In the fourth year of wandering the stars, I learned the true face of my master. He was very handsome, with white hair and black clothes. He looked a lot like the peerless figure I had read about in books, but I didn't ask."

"In the fourth year, as we approached the other side of mythology, I saw my master make his move for the first time. With a single palm strike, he killed a giant ancient star beast. I saw the starry sky shatter; it was terrifying."

Over the years, Xu Changqing has been taking Dahei around everywhere, from initial fear and curiosity to his current composure.

He even killed a star-domain ancient beast at the eighth level of the Great Sage realm, which shocked Dahei.

But Dahei became even more arrogant, and he no longer knew the meaning of fear.

Throughout the myriad realms, on every ancient star, there are traces of a person and an ox.

Having traveled to so many places, the Yin-Yang disc behind Xu Changqing's head became even more extraordinary, recording countless life-bearing star fields and numerous star battlefields.

Xu Changqing's cultivation level had reached its peak, but he did not break through.

He wants to directly transcend tribulation and become an emperor in one go, or achieve enlightenment in an alternative way. He is currently consolidating his cultivation.

In the fifth year of their journey through the starry sky with Big Black, they arrived at the other side of mythology.

P.S.: Just filling in the numbers a bit, otherwise I won't be able to write a million words.

Chapter 109 Obtaining the Immortal Execution Sword

The sky was clear and bright, but the sea of ​​suffering was boundless. On the endless black ocean, blood stained the sea of ​​suffering red.

Many powerful beings fought in the mythical other side. Some demons tore the heavens and earth apart, some ancient races swept across the celestial realm, and some human powerhouses wielded heavy swords and traversed the sea of ​​suffering.

This is a vast ocean comparable to a star field. Stars are occasionally knocked down from the sky by powerful beings, but once they enter the ocean, they don't cause any big waves.

This is like a sea where the universe is evolving, and various races are fighting each other on it.

Xu Changqing arrived, leading Dahei, and strolled on the scarlet sea, ignoring the fighting around him. The people seemed not to see either of them.

In the heart of that vast ocean, there was an extremely powerful and sacred essence, rising like celestial radiance, surging and flowing with the sea, causing one's pores to open wide, and surrounding it were many powerful and terrifying corpses.

The Great Sage's corpse floated and sank wherever it was, and even the enormous ancient beasts were chopped into pieces.

A divine glow filled the air, and auspicious energies surged forth. The corpses and blood began to fade, as if they had been absorbed by some living being.

Upon approaching the divine spring, Xu Changqing stopped because a corpse lay on the spring, its purple eyes emitting astonishing divine light as they opened and closed.

"Wait for me here." He patted Big Black and set up a quasi-emperor formation to protect Big Black.

He walked alone on the dark sea, expressionless. The purple-haired corpse in front of him was no match for him.

"boom!"

A dazzling purple light illuminated the world, and the purple blood energy surged immensely. The intent of the fist swept across the starry sky, instantly stirring up towering waves in the black sea of ​​suffering.

This situation has been witnessed by many people.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and stared at the divine spring in the center of the sea, momentarily stunned.

Good heavens, not long ago, a great sage joined forces to arrive, but was killed by that corpse.

It's easy to imagine just how powerful this ancient corpse guarding the sacred spring truly is.

But to their surprise, the figure remained motionless the moment the ancient corpse threw its punch.

"Boom!"

The next moment, heaven and earth collapsed, the universe was torn apart, the sea of ​​suffering was overturned, and a vast purple mist filled the heavens, but it still could not shake Xu Changqing.

He took a solid punch from the Overlord Corpse, but was completely unharmed.

Xu Changqing's face was cold as he stretched out his right hand and slapped the ancient corpse's head.

boom!

The sheer power of his physical body caused the ancient imperial Dao traces that permeated the area to crumble, plunging the world into darkness and extinguishing the sun and moon. This single palm strike instilled fear in countless hearts.

"puff!"

With just one slap, the ancient corpse, possessing the cultivation of a Quasi-Emperor with a Overlord Body, exploded instantly, its head bursting open, and its last vestige of life vanishing.

Quiet, extremely quiet.

Time seemed to stand still. The once chaotic sea of ​​bitterness was now filled with people staring in disbelief at the figure standing on the surface of the water.

"Who is this? How can he be so terrifying? Moreover, he can stand on the sea of ​​suffering all by himself without needing a boat to cross."

"One slap killed a Quasi-Emperor Ancient Corpse with a Overlord Body, damn it."

How come killing a peerless expert is as easy as playing around?

Xu Changqing ignored the crowd's shock, staring expressionlessly at the divine spring beneath his feet. The spring continuously emitted celestial energy, but this energy...

It's not of much use to him.

He could sense that the supreme and holy essence, like celestial mist, contained a murderous intent that had permeated the ages. That murderous intent alone was enough to chill his body.

Xu Changqing entered the divine spring but did not find the killing sword. With no other option, he collected many divine springs and left with Dahei without looking back.

As Xu Changqing disappeared from sight, countless people shouted and rushed towards the Divine Spring, piloting their divine ships to fight and collect its essence.

After walking for dozens of miles, Xu Changqing encountered another sacred spring and saw an old man guarding it.

This time he did not take action. After watching for a while, the Four Swords of Zhuxian were also gone.

Xu Changqing continued forward until he arrived at the very center of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. At the very center, it seemed as if nine divine springs surrounded a life spring, from which sword energy occasionally overflowed.

The terrifying sword energy seemed to pierce through countless ages, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to shake. Countless runes enveloped the area, preventing the sword energy from overflowing.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing sat cross-legged above the Life Spring and began chanting the Scripture of Salvation.

“Accumulated Yang becomes spirit, spirit contains form, form is born from the sun, the sun is born from the moon, accumulated Yin forms shape, form contains spirit…”

"A clear mind illuminates all things, a powerful spirit prevails, all senses are contained in a single breath, and all things are observed with a single mind..."

He was glowing, as radiant as the sun, and his body swelled up, like a giant god or demon sitting there, every inch of his skin covered with dense, mysterious, and complex patterns.

The sound of the Dao was like the tolling of a bell in the universe, spreading in harmony with the Great Dao. Below the life spring of Lingbao Tianzun, dense runes began to appear.

A mysterious aura merged with Xu Changqing's Daoist voice.

Many powerful figures on the other side of the myth stopped their battles and all looked into the distance.

But they discovered that a pitch-black giant sat cross-legged above a spring of life, chanting scriptures.

A vast divine might of a quasi-emperor emanated from him, as if he were about to attain enlightenment.

That aura was earth-shattering, causing the universe to crumble and the sea of ​​suffering to surge with towering waves.

The sound of the scriptures resounded throughout the sea of ​​suffering, deafening, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami spreading across the heavens and earth.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a dark red gas rose from beneath the Spring of Life, countless runes trembled, and the entire Bitter Sea World shook.

"boom!"

The next moment, four dark red divine lights pierced through the heavens and earth, heading straight towards the outer realm. The terrifying killing intent filled everyone with despair. That kind of aura seemed to come from the ancient past.

It was as if someone had unleashed a world-shaking sword strike across eternity, causing even the immortals to weep.

"Buzz!"

Four dark red killing swords slowly rose from beneath the Spring of Life, as if hesitating.

But the moment their sword tips were revealed, all the heavens fell silent, countless great paths retreated, and countless images appeared in the sky.

The imperial aura was pervasive, but their deities did not awaken.
