Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

"This is the Dao Fruit of your alternative path to enlightenment. I have sealed it within my body. When you achieve this alternative path to enlightenment, the two Dao Fruits will merge, allowing you to reach the pinnacle of enlightenment, forcefully shatter all paths, and become an Emperor."

This is Xu Changqing's ultimate goal: to make his disciple an emperor!

Inside a golden fruit, supreme Dao patterns swirled, and terrifying laws permeated the air, while streaks of white divine light shimmered within the golden fruit.

The golden fruit merged into Xu Jin's brow and was sealed within his still-unopened sea of ​​consciousness.

Xu Jin became a mortal again.

He was sealed inside the divine source by Xu Changqing.

Dahei cultivated for four thousand years, but his cultivation level stopped at the third level of Quasi-Emperor because Xu Changqing never preached to Dahei again after that.

Let Dahei cultivate on its own and find its own path.

"Great Emperor, I feel that I am suited for array formations and talismanic arts." Dahei's voice had become weathered, with the charm of a middle-aged man.

“You can study it yourself. I will see you sealing it two thousand years from now,” Xu Changqing said.

He then went to the Cloud Break Mountains and lived in seclusion with the Empress.

The two went into seclusion to deduce the path ahead, verifying each other's findings, exchanging Daoist techniques, and jointly controlling the Heavenly Heart Mark.

In the myriad realms, great eras began to decline, and many powerful beings began to age, their vitality waning.

"The two emperors still stand at the pinnacle of the heavens. Their path seems to have just begun. Their blood energy is terrifying, and their combat power is unimaginable. But we were in the same era back then. I'm almost at my breaking point."

"Back then, the Ruthless Emperor and I teamed up to explore the secret realm, but he became an emperor while I remained at the Saint level."

Many independent cultivators sighed, and in the end, even the saint passed away peacefully.

They were only four or five thousand years old when they were already past their prime; the sages passed away peacefully, and the sage kings also reached their twilight years.

Xu

An, once a great sage, has now become a wanderer, disheveled and dirty, walking through mortal towns, occasionally venturing to the heavens to sigh at the breathtaking scenery.

As for the gods, he didn't want to go back.

Three thousand years have passed, and so much has changed. His daughter's cultivation has even reached the level of a quasi-emperor.

He had also come looking for him, but Xu An did not meet with him.

However, on this day, Xu Wanxian still found her father. Seeing her father's disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but cry and said, "Father, shall we go back to the God Clan?"

But Xu An gently shook his head, raised his face, his face full of the marks of time, extremely weathered, with beard spreading along his cheeks, and his deep eyes showing exhaustion.

"What's so great about the gods? It's not as comfortable as being outside. If I go to the gods, wouldn't that be like making me marry into their family?"

He couldn't disgrace his father. Even though the emperor didn't acknowledge him, he couldn't marry into the divine race.

No matter what, he still possesses imperial blood within him.

How can I become someone else's son-in-law?

Whether they die outside or are killed, they simply cannot return to the Protoss.

"My mother is about to pass away," Xu Wanxian said, her eyes dim.

Xu An's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed, saying, "I will not return to the God Clan. Bring her to me, and the two of us will travel the world until we die."

"If she doesn't want to, then forget it and don't come looking for me again."

In the end, Xu Wanxian couldn't bring herself to forcibly take Xu An back to the God Clan. As a quasi-Emperor level expert, it would have been far too easy for her to kidnap a Great Sage.

Imperial Calendar – 6,000 years.

The times have changed drastically, many powerful figures have begun to pass away, the essence of heaven and earth has rapidly receded, and the environment is even worse than before.

Several young supreme beings of the same era as Xu Changqing achieved extraordinary success and became powerful figures in their own unique way.

Even so, they all grew old very quickly.

Chapter 126 They all passed away peacefully.

Xu Changqing looked down upon the myriad realms, watching his former enemies fall one by one, without feeling any emotion. He had imagined this scene many years ago.

Mu, a uniquely enlightened human, and the Wanderer, passed away peacefully.

Before the wanderer passed away, Xu Changqing led his disciples to see him off, after all, the wanderer had saved Xu Jin and taken care of him for a long time.

The original intention was to use the Emperor's blood to allow the wanderer to live a second life.

But the wanderer laughed heartily and said, "I have lived for almost ten thousand years, and I am satisfied. All my contemporaries are dead, and Mu has also reached the end of his life. What is the point of me still living?"

“I am very happy to see the Emperor off.”

The wanderer took out the divine wine that had been sealed away for many years. After drinking it with Xu Changqing, he sat down and passed away in the chaos. His bones turned into specks of light and scattered in the starry sky.

As for Mu's passing, Xu Changqing did not go there. He simply used his divine sense to scan the area and found that Mu Miaomiao had built a large curtain for her master, placed him in a coffin, and spent her days weeping.

Finally, Mu Miaomiao also moved into the ancient tomb.

After sealing Xu Jin again, Xu Changqing began to go into seclusion to study the path ahead.

Now that we know of the existence of the Mortal Immortal, let's think about the future.

Five years later, a royal aura suddenly emanated from a four-star star in the sky.

Xu Changqing suddenly opened his eyes from his seclusion, a cold light flashing in them, and immediately attacked in the direction of the fluctuation.

"boom!"

A gigantic hand, wreathed in celestial light, pierced through the Big Dipper. Countless powerful figures and many young people, upon seeing that hand, experienced violent shocks throughout their bodies, almost to the point of exploding and dying.

All the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones awakened, and they were all shocked as they looked at the palm surrounded by immortal light. It was too powerful; even its aura alone could make them feel the aura of death.

Is this still the fighting power that an emperor could possess?

With a casual palm strike, he pierced through countless galaxies, transcended chaos, and covered all the heavens.

"bump!"

The desolate star field was completely reduced to dust. The palm of his hand had the appearance of creating the world, and it seemed that all the heavens and myriad worlds would be destroyed in this palm.

A dead star suddenly exploded, a terrifying aura was rising, light pierced the universe, and the imperial aura shook the world.

The three imperial formations revived simultaneously, restricting the giant hand, while countless chaotic sword lights slashed at it.

But these terrifying attacks only left marks on Xu Changqing's palms and two wounds.

But it still couldn't stop it.

"boom!"

A streak of red light pierced through the galaxy, and a blood-stained fat man, his face filled with horror, crashed into the star cluster, his physical body's imperial laws being shattered.

The four reincarnation seals within his body began to glow, and inside them sat tiny figures, all with their eyes open.

But the next moment, that huge hand gripped Duan De directly.

Duan De unleashed his full power, but he couldn't break free from that enormous hand.

"How is this possible? I set up three Great Emperor-level formations, and they still couldn't stop him!"

"He used the Origin Heaven Technique to communicate with the power of all heavens, but he still discovered it, and he broke through three Great Emperor-level formations with a single palm strike!"

Duan De was shocked. Was this the fighting power that the Great Emperor could unleash?

brush!

The next moment, the fat man, covered in blood, suddenly felt the air and...

The feeling of having your feet firmly on the ground.

He looked up and found Xu Changqing staring at him coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The terrifying killing intent was like two celestial swords, causing him to feel a sharp pain all over his body, as if he were being pricked by thorns, and cold sweat poured down his back.

As if sensing danger, the Samsara Seal within Duan De's body began to radiate a bright white divine light, and streams of imperial aura emerged from his body.

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with dense runes as he began to examine the unique features of the Reincarnation Seals. Duan De seemed to notice this and tried to block them.

However, Xu Changqing imprisoned him in place, unable to move.

"Want to appear?" He looked at the four reincarnation seals, wanting to break through the seal, return to themselves, and achieve ultimate sublimation.

But soon, a white ripple emanated from Xu Changqing's body, completely suppressing Duan De. Even the Dao Fruit miniature inside the Reincarnation Seal was sealed inside.

Duan De was horrified. He had just pushed his cultivation to its peak in this life, but in the end, he was suppressed to the level of a Quasi-Emperor of the Eighth Heaven.

"You'd better stay here with me. I'll give you a proper send-off after you die," Xu Changqing said coldly, and then imprisoned Duan De.

"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so confident back then, and I shouldn't have abandoned all principles for a little benefit."

Duan De also regretted it, after all, he was very confident that Xu Changqing would be able to escape, but he did not expect to die in the starry sky, but he was eventually resurrected.

I just don't know how they were resurrected.

Upon hearing Xu Changqing's legend again, Duan De chose to hide, not daring to go upstairs, fearing that Xu Changqing would kill him with a bone knife.

In this life, he had just become a supreme powerhouse, yet he was sensed and could not withstand even a casual strike from Xu Changqing with all his might.

"I won't kill you. After all, you're a being who has lived from the chaotic ancient era to the present. The reincarnation mark within you is worth studying." Xu Changqing's words shocked Duan De even more.

If it weren't for the many memories that appeared in his mind after he became a supreme being, he really wouldn't know that he was a figure from the Chaotic Ancient Era, nor that he was the Underworld Emperor and the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable.

However, Xu Changqing was able to know about his past life and that the mark in his body was the Reincarnation Mark.

This guy is something else, he's not simple.

“It’s shocking. The moment you sensed the aura of death, the mark within you has already revived. The aura emanating from the Dao Fruit within you doesn’t belong to this era.”

“I have sensed the aura of the Chaotic Ancient Era, and you have it. I have also sensed the aura of the Mythological Era, and you have it. Even the aura of the Primordial Era is present in you.”

Over the past few thousand years, Xu Changqing and the Empress have traveled through countless worlds, including the Immortal Path, and even found the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Duan De remained silent, then gave a wry smile and said, "I have been cautious for many years, but I never thought I would be caught by you. Fine, do as you please."

If Xu Changqing wanted to kill him, the Reincarnation Seal within his body would merge, and at that time, Xu Changqing would likely be unable to resist him.

After all, he had lived four lifetimes.

Duan De was taken away by Xu Changqing and taken to the Empress's dojo.

After tying Duan De up, the two began to study him.
