Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

"puff!"

In the blink of an eye, before the three women could even rejoice for long, they were beheaded along with their spaceship.

"boom!"

A burst of eerie white flame erupted from the blue spaceship, and the Saint-level spaceship quickly turned into red liquid.

The three women also turned into ashes, which mixed with molten iron and fell into the Eternal Starfield.

"I won't be merciful and let you go back. It would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Even if you pose no threat, you'll still cause trouble," Xu Changqing muttered coldly to himself.

The three women's families posed no threat to him, but what if they told those who possessed the Great Sage?

Solving the problem means solving the problem of the person who created it.

Chapter 15 Follow the Heart

In the Eternal Kingdom, a colossal city of steel, light shimmers everywhere, the chilling metallic glow sparkling in the sunlight.

Amidst all the skyscrapers and sky-high roads, there is a quaint courtyard.

At this moment, in the main hall of the courtyard, several middle-aged men looked at the sky with gloomy faces, and their faces showed pain as they watched the molten iron falling from the sky.

"The warship built by the renowned craftsman was destroyed, and my daughter is dead," a middle-aged man said in a trembling voice, clutching his chest.

Their only daughter went out to gain experience, but she was killed right above them, and the person who killed her never showed up.

hate it!

"I told you to let me go with them, but you insisted on stopping me, saying they should go out and explore on their own. Now look what happened!" An elderly man with white hair pointed angrily at the middle-aged man and scolded him.

However, some calm people said, "To be able to kill them in one strike and destroy a Saint-class warship in one strike, that person is no ordinary individual. How did they offend that person?"

"To be able to destroy a Saint-class warship in one blow, one must be a powerful Saint, or even a Saint King."

Inside the hall, the crowd was discussing how their Luo family had finally produced a prodigy, only to have her die in the starry sky—how ironic!

"So what do we do now?" someone asked, looking at the head of the Luo family.

The head of the Luo family was a middle-aged man who appeared easygoing, gentle, and refined. He had a neat buzz cut, wore a tight-fitting mechanical battle suit, and was deep in thought with his eyes closed.

"I want to avenge my daughter," Deputy Luo said, his face contorted with ferocity and tears. His daughter was none other than that little girl.

He simply couldn't believe that anyone could bring themselves to kill such a lovely daughter.

Anyone with a shred of humanity wouldn't kill a beautiful woman, especially one who looks like a teenage girl.

"What will you use to take revenge? Your Dao-Slaying cultivation?" At this moment, the Luo family patriarch opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if he were deep in thought.

Vice President Luo felt extremely frustrated; his beloved daughter had died, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

"A set of data was sent back when the warship was destroyed," the Luo family patriarch said calmly.

He took out a silver cube, something unique to them, that could be used to contact someone far away in a star system. The silver cube was as thin as a paper wing, just like a piece of paper held in his hand.

With a gentle touch, blue screens popped out from the silver stones, covered with dense text.

The hall fell silent as everyone watched the Luo family patriarch perform some actions.

After waiting for about a minute, the head of the Luo family showed a surprised expression and said, "How is this possible? How could a half-saint shatter a saint-level warship with a single blow?"

At that moment, a screen popped up from the silver cube, displaying a photo—a close-up of a handsome young man with white hair. He looked approachable and not at all fierce.

Name:? ? ?

Strength: Half-Saint.

constitution:???

Estimated combat strength: Easily controlled.

But on the other side of the photo, there is a video.

The white-haired youth stood in the dark universe, casually...

With a swish, a white barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the holy-level attack from the blue warship.

Then they saw the white-haired youth suddenly appear in front of the blue warship, punch it, and the warship trembled violently, eventually cracking open.

He shattered the Saint-level laws with a casual flick of his wrist.

In the end, the white-haired man did not kill the three women, but instead had them lead the way to the Eternal Starfield.

Upon arrival, the scene suddenly trembled, and a white streak of light shattered countless meteorites with unstoppable force, causing the heads of the three women to fall off simultaneously.

The scene ends here.

Inside the lobby, no one dared to speak; even breathing stopped.

"So powerful." The old man couldn't help but murmur. Even with his saintly cultivation, he could feel the power of that strike.

Upon seeing this scene, Vice Luo's pupils contracted, he felt dizzy and couldn't help but fall to the ground. He pointed at Xu Changqing's portrait, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

After his initial shock, the head of the Luo family calmly analyzed the situation and concluded, "We can't avenge this."

"Given the strength of this white-haired man, he might be the disciple of a powerful figure. Although he is from another star system, the fact that he could destroy a Saint-level law with a single blow despite only having the cultivation of a half-saint means he is definitely not a simple person. Perhaps there is a protector secretly following him."

“Our family only has four or five saints. According to ancient records, when the Great Emperor was young, he was able to kill a saint while he was still a half-saint, and he was also able to enter the legendary divine forbidden zone.”

Even if we find him, we can't kill him.

“He must have a lot of life-saving items on him. If we can’t kill him, we’ll be in big trouble. We might even be wiped out.”

The head of the Luo family was very self-aware and would not give up his life because of losing face. He was not that kind of person and would not let momentary anger cloud his judgment.

"So we're just going to let this go like this?" Vice President Luo couldn't help but ask. He hated himself for not being strong enough and for being too confident.

He thought that having a Saint-class warship would ensure his safety in space.

"What else can we do? It was your daughter who provoked him. If you want revenge, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't drag the entire Luo family into it," the Luo family head said helplessly.

"He must be someone with a special physique. We can spread the word that an outsider with a special physique has come to the Eternal Kingdom, and get those powerful families to help us take revenge," someone whispered.

"Foolish!" the Luo family patriarch roared, his face turning red with anger.

Right now, only their family knows that Xu Changqing has come to the Eternal Starfield. Who else knows?

"Once the news is released, that person will definitely suspect the Luo family and then, before everyone can react, start a massacre. The Luo family can't afford such a loss."

"A person who can traverse the starry sky alone with the cultivation of a half-saint and shatter a saint-level warship with a single blow, could be an ordinary individual?"

"Use your pig brains to think! Why would he dare to slaughter members of our family right above us?!"

The head of the Luo family shouted, his originally refined face turning extremely gloomy. He was truly exhausted for the sake of this family.

The Luo family members were all frustrated and fell silent. There was nothing they could do; after all, the family head was the strongest.

People have come to your territory and are causing trouble, and you're pretending not to know.

I can't stand it!

"No one is to leak this news today. Also, lock up Deputy Luo and release him only after that young man leaves."

"Remember, greed is acceptable, but you must spit out what you can't swallow, or you will pay a heavy price."

"How many young powerhouses heading to the ancient road have those families captured over the years? How many divine bodies have they captured? Some of those families have even been wiped out, haven't they?"

"Think about it yourselves."

After giving his instructions, the head of the Luo family left.

If Xu Changqing were here, he would have to give a thumbs up to the head of the Luo family. He truly deserves to be the head of the family; he is so thoughtful.

The advantages were not considered at all, but all the disadvantages were considered.

After glancing at the various powerful figures, the Luo family head sighed and left. He knew that his words might not have much effect.

"Greed comes at a price. I'd better take some children and settle down in another star system as soon as possible," the Luo family patriarch muttered to himself.

He's not being cowardly; this comes from the heart.

He knew exactly what kind of people were in this star field. After hundreds of years of observation, he had long known that those powerful families secretly captured divine bodies that traversed the starry sky, imprisoned them, and drained their blood.

However, he also knew that a few years ago, someone tried to capture a person with a special physique, but failed and was instead wiped out.

Although there was only one such case, he didn't want his family to become the second family to be wiped out.

Chapter 16 Acquaintances in the Colosseum

A few days later, Xu Changqing successfully smuggled himself from a life-bearing planet next to the Eternal Starfield into the Eternal Kingdom.

He looked at the streets filled with steel, feeling completely dazed, and thought to himself, "I once dreamed of entering the cyberpunk world, and now it's really come true."

Having seen what I had dreamed of during my mortal days, I no longer felt excitement or excitement, only endless peace and a sense of dazed recollection.

Everywhere you look, there are various sci-fi scenes: steel skyscrapers thousands of meters high, with railway tracks floating in mid-air, winding and twisting through the sky, the silver tracks radiating a cold light.

On the street, someone rode on a greatsword. The greatsword was engraved with strange patterns, a combination of runes and technology. Blue and white halos flowed from the sword, and the patterns looked like glowing streams.

The hilt of the sword is a jet generator; with a gentle jolt, blue flames of hydrogen gas will be ejected.

The streets are lined with shops, densely packed and dazzlingly bright; as far as the eye can see, it's a sea of ​​lights.

Some people drive hovercars that soar through the air, even entering a black hole mid-air.

The wondrous scene left Xu Changqing dazzled and mesmerized.

There were many pedestrians on the road, dressed in fashionable clothes, and some of them were not human, but purely mechanical beings.

Some silver robots were lying in an alley, with wires wrapped around their backs and a white charging cable plugged into their bodies.

The world looks chaotic, but there is no trash, and it is spacious everywhere. The streets on both sides sell some kind of things, which are all glowing stones.

"Hey, look, this guy is dressed as an ancient person! I have to say, he's so handsome, especially with that flowing white hair that reaches his waist." Some young women on the street cautiously pointed at Xu Changqing and whispered to their sisters.

Countless millennia ago, the Eternal Kingdom had already developed into a technological world, and Xu Changqing's attire was outdated for countless years.

Some women, their faces flushed, ran up to Xu Changqing and stammered, "Handsome, can I have your contact information?"

Xu Changqing glanced at the women, said nothing, and walked away without responding.

"Hmph, what's the use of being handsome if you have no manners at all? You're not even as handsome as my readers."

Xu Changqing changed his posture.
