Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

"Then why should I help you?" Xu Changqing suddenly smiled. Why did the Azure Emperor want to help him without paying a price?

However, the Chaos Green Lotus spoke without hesitation: "I am about to undergo Nirvana. I possess the profound mysteries of Immortal Nirvana and the Great Dao of Chaos within me. I will only keep the seed; you can take the rest of the body."

It knew that Xu Changqing wanted to live out his third life, but it also wanted to transform into a human to cultivate.

Xu Changqing thought about it and agreed. Of course, he could also imprison Wan Qing and study him slowly, just like Duan De had done back then.

"Go to my dojo." Xu Changqing sent Wan Qing into the dojo and planted her on the Chaos Faith Mountain.

Wan Qing was stunned as soon as he entered. The power of faith here was extremely pure, and it had even transformed into an enormous divine mountain waterfall. Even an emperor couldn't pull off something like this.

Faith Waterfall, if it were settled here, would be even better than Immortal Pool.

However, Wan Qing soon saw a golden-haired mortal yawning.

Emerging from a bamboo hut, he stripped off his clothes and leaped directly from a large rock on the shore into the lake formed by the power of faith.

After a quick soak, I returned to my room and lay down on a large bed filled with divine essence.

"This kid is a bit strange, using the power of faith to cleanse the turbidity in his body." If Wan Qing were in human form, his lips might twitch.

This was the first time it had ever seen the power of faith used in this way.

Xu

Changqing traveled through the heavens, visiting one secret realm after another, and found countless methods for Nirvana, as well as some of the Undying Emperor's techniques and scriptures.

As a divine phoenix, the Undying Emperor naturally possesses the Nirvana Method, after all, given Luan Gu's status, he is one of the Ten Fiends.

Unfortunately, Xu Changqing only found an incomplete method of Nirvana, but it was enough for him.

Next, he collected many more formations.

Xu Changqing obtained the Secret of Character Formation and the Source Book.

The Empress was also preparing, studying various scriptures.

The essence of all the heavens and myriad realms has begun to weaken, and we have entered the Dharma-ending Age. Unless one is a heaven-defying cultivator, it is very difficult to cultivate to the level of severing the Dao.

The Dual Emperors Calendar – 90,000 years.

As Xu Changqing and the Empress entered their later years, in their second life, they lived for 60,000 years.

For 60,000 years, the two of them were researching, discussing and debating the path ahead from time to time.

The Empress began her seclusion in the Bronze Ancestral Hall to comprehend the Dao and undergo a transformation.

Xu Changqing, on the other hand, set up the most terrifying array in the heavens within his own dojo, a fusion of the Word Formation Secret and the Origin Heaven Technique.

He drew upon the essence of life from all the heavens and placed his elixir at the center of the formation, just in case.

Finally, he began to study the Nirvana Dao Law within Wan Qing's body. This was a gift from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, granting immortality to the elixir of immortality, but it required Nirvana.

He began to study the method of Nirvana in seclusion. Countless techniques and scriptures were like a vast ocean. Gods and demons chanted scriptures in the temple, and immortal scriptures shone brightly.

In an instant, the entire dojo was covered with densely packed runes, and ancient characters were imprinted in the void.

At this moment, Xu Changqing was old, his white hair had turned yellow and withered, and he was as thin as a rake, with cracks appearing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Three thousand years later.

Xu Changqing was over 93,500 years old, and his time had come.

Chapter 134 Living the Third Life

His physical body exuded a dense aura of death, and cracks appeared on his primordial spirit, the marks of time.

The divine bridge within his body collapsed, the sea of ​​suffering crumbled, and both the Dao Palace and the Immortal Platform disintegrated.

"Using my body as a tree, I will draw upon the celestial tribulation!"

With a deep, ancient shout, a clear light leaped into the sky, and the origin and everything else reached their ultimate sublimation. The profound meaning of Nirvana began to emerge in the heart, preserving and condensing the last remaining vitality.

All living beings in the myriad realms could feel an aura that surpassed the pinnacle of humanity emanating from the Big Dipper Starfield.

A white light containing countless laws of the Great Dao condensed into an aura of immortality, piercing through the vast universe.

That was Xu Changqing's last burst of energy before death; he used various means to elevate his life, burning away the deathly and decaying aura.

With his cultivation level in his first life, he would have been able to trigger a celestial tribulation long ago.

If this were in the ancient world, he would have become an immortal long ago.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the heavens trembled, and a heavenly tribulation surpassing the aura of humanity appeared. Countless powerful beings were terrified, and all living beings in the myriad realms felt an aura of death and destruction.

The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone were shocked and awoke once more, all looking towards the direction of the Big Dipper.

However, they discovered that the Big Dipper Starfield was filled with celestial tribulation lightning, causing countless beings to be terrified, fearing that the heavenly tribulation would shatter the Big Dipper.

"Boom!"

But the next moment, they thought again, a colossal white sacred mountain, with a waterfall of faith, towered into the outer realm.

All beings saw an old man with white hair sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, his eyes flashing with divine light as he gazed at the thunder in the sky.

"boom!"

The next moment, only the vast thunder could be heard in the world. All the heavens and myriad realms trembled, the Heavenly Heart Mark cracked, and the lightning was restricted by a terrifying array.

A celestial map stretched across the sky, enveloping the Big Dipper constellation. No one knew what was happening outside; the world was plunged into darkness.

However, they soon could no longer hear the sounds outside, because the human world was isolated from the Big Dipper Star Region, blocking the aftershocks of the immortal divine thunder.

Countless star fields were affected, but Xu Changqing had already set up formations to block the immortal tribulation lightning.

Xu Changqing hovered between life and death, and at this moment he seemed to see one after another supreme emperor dying under the tribulation of immortal lightning.

However, he did not want to become an immortal.

He is now like a diseased tree that has been afflicted by pests. After being struck by lightning, the tree body explodes and falls apart in the lightning and fire, but the roots are still there, waiting for new life.

The Chaos Divine Mountain exploded, and Wan Qing trembled as he hid in the Daoist temple. The terrifying lightning tribulation was enough to kill him, preventing him from undergoing Nirvana.

Xu Changqing, bearing the tribulation of immortality, formed hand seals, and countless profound mysteries emerged in his mind. Finally, he condensed those Nirvana mysteries into a black fruit, merging the six reincarnation black holes into one.

He hid the most essential part of his essence within a black fruit in his body, where a black hole absorbed divine lightning from the immortal path and refined it into life force.

His primordial spirit was cleaved apart by lightning, and the immortal thunder purified the decaying and deathly aura.

Xu Changqing's purest primordial spirit was also hidden inside the black fruit.

Chaotic energy permeated the entire sacred mountain. Xu Changqing, his life force depleted, collapsed there. A vast expanse of lightning fell, and billions of bolts of lightning descended, a truly terrifying sight.

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, who had been hiding in the shadows, once again vanished far away, directly escaping into the depths of chaos.

Silently watching this earth-shattering celestial calamity.

"If you can't live to the third life, do you choose to fight to the death in your old age?" a supreme being sneered.

Much later, Xu Changqing's body exploded, his entire body shattered into pieces, and the immortal divine lightning disappeared.

One of the Supreme Beings exclaimed, "That's not bad. After all, even the Fighting Saint Emperor couldn't last long back then, but Wuqing was able to last for three days. During that time, his physical body only exploded, but eventually recovered."

"Unfortunately, he is no longer viable. He is torn to pieces, his primordial spirit is annihilated, the lightning is still there, but the celestial tribulation has disappeared, which means that he is dead."

"If he were in his prime, he could probably have become an immortal. It's a pity he's old now."

Some supreme beings sighed, some laughed heartily, and some wanted to take the forbidden zone back to Beidou.

On the shattered Chaos God Mountain, a sea of ​​lightning submerged a skeleton. The lightning flashed with brilliant light, and the destructive energy attempted to obliterate the skeleton, wanting to completely destroy this heaven-defying person.

Unfortunately, the remains could not be completely erased, but instead the flesh and blood of the remains were torn apart, exploded, and stuck to the broken black boulder.

For a moment, all the heavens and myriad realms fell silent, and the aura of the two great emperors began to disappear.

Countless people were stunned; two great emperors had fallen!

That makes sense. After all, the two emperors have been alive for almost 100,000 years. How could they possibly let anyone else live?

For ninety thousand years, countless exceptionally talented individuals have failed to reach the Quasi-Emperor level.

Even the Great Sage finds it difficult to cultivate, after all, the suppressive power of the two Heavenly Emperors is extremely domineering, forcing countless geniuses to seal themselves away in desperation.

Now that the two emperors have fallen, their Dao traces are estimated to take another 20,000 to 30,000 years to disappear.

The lightning tribulation was originally a source of destruction, but it also contained a glimmer of life. Xu Changqing's consciousness was completely extinguished.

The human world returned to its normal size, and the shattered divine mountain was moved back to the Daoist temple. On the chaotic divine mountain, immortal thunder was spreading, and an aura of destruction was spreading.

There was also an inconspicuous black fruit soaked in terrifying immortal lightning.

Inside the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Empress's Nirvana took an unexpected turn. Her body from her previous life exploded and shattered into pieces, blasting a hole in the Bronze Immortal Palace. She was on the verge of failure.

But she was well-prepared and began to transform using the laws of time, severing the source of chaos, returning to her original state, and becoming a mortal.

"Boom!"

Soon, a vast aura of blood energy engulfed the heavens. The forbidden area that had just approached the Big Dipper Starfield immediately stopped. Sensing the familiar aura, it turned around and left.

Many of the supreme figures in the restricted area were still cursing and swearing.

"Damn, that's insane. The Empress has lived a third life."

"No, my lifespan is almost over. If this continues, she will outlive me and I won't be able to start the Dark Turmoil."

The Supreme Being, on the verge of death, was helpless. The Ruthless Emperor died, but the Devourer of Heaven lived on.

He was already incredibly domineering in his second life, what about his third?

Having just lived her third life, the Empress paid no heed to the mangled corpse in the Bronze Immortal Palace. Her face was somewhat pale as she rushed to Xu Changqing's Daoist temple without stopping.

When she lived her third life, the Empress sensed the aura of the Immortal Tribulation, which must have been brought by Xu Changqing.

The temple grounds remained peaceful and serene. The peach trees had withered, and the fallen yellow leaves covered the temple grounds. The elixir of immortality was rooted in the center of another waterfall.

And that sacred mountain of faith has not disappeared.

All that could be seen were charred, broken earth and massive black stones, with some charred flesh and blood lying on the black stones.

The Empress looked on in disbelief, her eyes flashing with emotion. Her mouth slightly open, she quickly walked to the pile of charred flesh and blood, her hands trembling as she picked up the black hand.

The world and the bone knife remained silent. Xu Jin crawled out of the divine source liquid, knelt in front of a pile of black stones, his face covered with tears, and said nothing.

"died."
