Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

The sunlight shone perfectly on her flawless face; although her expression was aloof, she looked incredibly sweet.

Xu Changqing paused slightly and looked at the Empress; their eyes met.

"Okay," Xu Changqing replied, his face showing little emotion.

Actually, this was the first time he had ever gone to the movies with a woman; in his previous life, he had never been to one himself.

He believes that going to the cinema is a waste of money, and it's better to lie in bed and watch it on your phone.

The cinema here is very high-end, allowing people to have a hands-on experience. There are experiential pods, and if you are not satisfied with the plot, you can change it at will.

The cinema was incredibly spacious, like a small world filled with countless creatures. Rows of silver experience capsules resembled coffins, yet also rectangular bricks with countless patterns spreading across them.

The two naturally walked together and arrived at an experience cabin large enough to accommodate both of them.

Then they lay down inside, their limbs touching instantly, and they could feel each other's warm and smooth skin, but neither of them reacted.

Physical contact?

During the fight, we've touched each other countless times; what part of our body haven't we touched?

Xu Changqing and the Empress's consciousness seemed to have entered another world. A law was pulling them into the shadow world, but if they resisted even slightly, the entire world would probably explode.

After all, once the Emperor's divine sense is revealed, the Ancient Land of Life may be turned into a dead star.

An hour later, Xu Changqing sat up in the experience chamber with a gloomy face. Although the special effects of the movie were good, the story was actually based on him.

The movie tells the story of an ordinary person who rises against all odds, defeating all sorts of geniuses along the way, and finding all kinds of rare and precious treasures on the go.

Immortal gold will also fall from the sky, and when life and death are at stake, someone will appear to help.

You can fall into an imperial tomb while walking, find imperial weapons in ordinary secret realms, and the herbs that everyone despises in the Great Wilderness are actually elixirs of immortality.

Moreover, the main character is actually called the Ruthless Emperor, but in the story he is just like a teddy bear in heat.

The Empress also sat up from the experience area, a smile on her face, her autumn eyes looking at Xu Changqing with a smile.

"They probably didn't do it on purpose. After all, in a fast-paced world, there is pressure everywhere, and these seemingly outrageous movies are just a way for people to relieve stress."

The Empress's voice was incredibly beautiful, like a spring breeze, brushing against Xu Changqing's heart, attempting to dispel his resentment.

"So, have you relieved the pressure?" Xu Changqing asked the Empress with a stern face and no expression.

The Empress nodded naturally, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Mm."

Okay, okay, okay, is this how you play it?

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

If all else fails, drag the Empress into a fight.

That should make me feel better.

No rush, there's no rush now.

Xu Changqing planned to endure it for now and begin the corporal punishment after leaving the Eternal Starfield.

Now he refuses to believe it; he can't find a single movie about the Empress.

It should be noted that their deeds are unique in all of history, two great emperors in one era.

Although hundreds of thousands of years have passed, their path to rise and countless deeds have been forgotten by the world.

But there are always some people who take risks for profit, using their popularity to make movies and fabricate stories.

The Empress wanted to leave, but Xu Changqing insisted on taking her to see a movie.

This observation lasted for a century, during which time the author traveled to the ancient planet Eternal and watched countless movies.

During that time, I also found movies and novels about the Empress.

Xu Changqing also remembered a genius director who made the empress his concubine. Originally a high and mighty empress, she was eventually knocked down from her cultivation and fell to the mortal world, where she was rescued by an emperor.

In the end, to repay the debt of gratitude, the empress offered herself to him as a concubine, and she used any means necessary to rise to power, eventually becoming empress.

Isn't this just a palace intrigue drama?

Xu Changqing will never forget this day: the Empress's desire to destroy the Eternal Starfield.

She can't afford to play this game!

P.S.: Something came up, I don't know if I can make it up tonight.

If not, supplement it gradually.

Chapter 142 Array Patterns in the Starry Sky

In the starry sky, Xu Changqing and the Empress left the Eternal Starfield, not knowing where they were going, and just wandered around aimlessly.

However, during this time, they discovered some extremely hidden Dao traces and array runes, so Xu Changqing stopped.

Observing from the edge of the universe, those array runes were extremely well hidden, so much so that even a Great Emperor could not detect them.

Only powerful individuals like Xu Changqing and the Empress could barely see it.

“The Emperor is not dead. He has probably lived for seven or eight lifetimes. Judging from the strength of the formation he set up, his cultivation is above ours.” Xu Changqing squatted in the dark starry sky, tearing a space with one finger.

There was a shimmering silver snake-like thread there; it was an array pattern. Even when Xu Changqing touched it, his fingers went numb.

He was the only one who knew that the Emperor and the Immortal Emperor were not dead, but he told this to the Empress.

As expected, the Empress was shocked. The Emperor was the Lord of Heaven, the strongest being in the mythological era, and the most revered among emperors.

I learned from the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana that the Emperor Venerable had laid out a grand scheme in order to become an immortal, but unfortunately, it was still discovered.

The immortal emperor, who attained enlightenment through unconventional means, used the Immortal Bell to launch a sneak attack on the Emperor, but that divine battle was extremely fierce.

Many powerful figures died, the Immortal Bell was shattered, and even the Supreme Being and Heavenly Venerable died.

Despite being ambushed and surrounded by numerous powerful figures, the Emperor survived and has lived from the mythological era to the present.

It's really outrageous.

Having lived for millions of years, he must have truly become an immortal.

Now that he's set up this formation, what does he want to do?

The Empress frowned slightly, deep in thought, staring at the terrifying array runes, which seemed to be echoing something, or perhaps connecting with something.

"If what you say is true, then he has been watching over all the heavens from the shadows, and may even be watching us discuss him." The Empress spoke softly, her overwhelming divine sense sweeping across the surroundings.

But Xu Changqing calmly said, "It's alright. Even if he shows up, he might not kill us."

Even if the Emperor becomes a mortal immortal, so what? He and the Empress are still on their way.

Besides, the Emperor wants to refine two great worlds to create the World Cauldron, so it's impossible for the Emperor to appear.

He's probably still setting up formations in that strange world right now.

After all, refining two great worlds is an extremely large undertaking.

"What does he want to do?" The Empress originally didn't want to pay attention to the Emperor, but seeing the silver array patterns flashing, she had a bad feeling.

"What else can I do? Refine the two worlds into a World Cauldron and become an immortal," Xu Changqing said calmly.

If the Emperor succeeds, he can indeed advance to the Immortal King level and then directly open the Immortal Realm.

However, he couldn't possibly succeed, since he died in the murder mystery game.

If Xu Changqing were an Emperor, he wouldn't wait for Ye Fan to become a Mortal Immortal, but would directly sacrifice himself to become the World Cauldron after everything was arranged.

Of course, this is just his speculation from God's perspective. He doesn't know what the Emperor is doing, how he became a mortal immortal, or how he survived.

"I feel that the Immortal Emperor is not dead either. When I traveled through the heavens, I vaguely sensed his presence," the Empress said after a moment's thought.

There are also some rumors that back then, the Undying Emperor launched a sneak attack on the Fighting Saint Emperor, who was enraged and smashed the Undying Emperor's dojo.

There was also human skin that the Immortal Emperor shed in the Immortal Mountain, but it has now disappeared.

His traces can also be found on the Immortal Path in Zhongzhou, and all indications suggest that the Immortal Emperor has not died.

"Whether they live or die is none of my business." Xu Changqing had no intention of paying attention to the Emperor and the Undying Emperor. As long as they didn't provoke him, he would pretend he didn't see anything.

If you offend them, there's no other way but to fight.

Although the chances of winning are not high.

After all, he was improving, and those two were also improving, making the Emperor even more terrifying.

"This world is not as simple as it seems." The Empress's eyes gleamed; this era was too strange.

In an era where immortality was impossible, two powerful beings emerged who had lived for millions of years without dying, and they were both on their way to immortality.

There will definitely be more people like them in future generations, such as Duan De, who is already the fourth incarnation, having lived from the chaotic ancient era to the present.

Even in the chaotic ancient era, only one such figure appeared: the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, a figure who lived in legend.

But in this era, there are Duan De, Emperor Zun, the Undying Emperor, and the two of them are still on their way.

Xu Changqing naturally knew the Empress's thoughts; this era was indeed extraordinary.

After all, in later generations, Ye Fan and the others either died or fled, and the Heavenly Court was destroyed. The only option was to create a new cycle of reincarnation to revive everyone.

"Let's go and study that fat man's reincarnation seal. The method for me to live out my fourth life without any problems probably lies in him," the Empress said.

Duan De condensed his Dao Fruit of one lifetime into the Reincarnation Seal, while the Empress planned to condense the Dao Fruit of each lifetime into the form of her childhood.

She severed part of her primordial spirit and flesh, and then transformed all her obsessions into a little girl, walking in the mortal world.

Duan De: Even if he dies, I won't let him go.

Xu Changqing and the Empress went to a dead star, broke through the terrifying imperial formation, and arrived in a pitch-black space.

Duan De's body lay quietly on a large black stone slab, surrounded by countless array runes. Dense patterns appeared from his body, and boundless chaotic energy surged forth.

The Empress stroked her chin with one hand, her autumn eyes flashing with divine light, silently looking at the corpse protected by the great formation, and murmured: "The formation extended autonomously from his body, and this formation is extremely terrifying, even more terrifying than the Formation Secret. The peaceful chaos has been transformed into an unparalleled killing sword."

This formation is etched into Duan De's flesh and blood!

She was shocked; the chaotic killing array engraved in her flesh and blood was even more powerful and terrifying than the Word Formation Secret.

Although I know that Duan De is the patriarch of Yuan Tianshi, he is only at the same level as Zu Zi Mi. However, the great array inside his flesh and blood seems to be not carved by man, but a killing array that was born spontaneously by heaven and earth.

Xu Changqing calmly said as he watched the Empress staring intently at the chaotic runes, "This is a killing formation from the Chaotic Ancient Era, known as the third killing formation of chaos, capable of killing emperors and immortals."

During the following period, the Empress went into seclusion here, and Xu Changqing quietly guarded her.
