Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

"Emperor Hengyu was a true man," Xu Changqing sighed.

He chose to keep the bone knife because he had a very deep impression of the Void Emperor from reading the novel back then.

Helping the Void Emperor would also be a way of settling a lingering attachment from my past life.

As for what will happen to the Void Emperor after he acquires the Bone Blade, that remains to be seen.

I'm just providing a weapon.

If Xu Changqing's guess is correct, in the ensuing dark turmoil, the descendants of Emperor Hengyu died in battles against the Supreme Being.

P.S.: I'll see if I have time to write later.

Chapter 149 Fragments of the World Left Behind by Chaos

In the pitch-black chaos, brilliant laws occasionally shatter, fragments of time fly by, and the long river of time is severed.

There are some places that even Xu Changqing and the Empress cannot set foot in now, because there are traces of laws left by the supreme war in the chaotic ancient times. Even after hundreds of millions of years, they can still be seriously injured or even killed.

That was a desolate place left behind by the great battle of the Immortal Kings, and even they found it difficult to get close.

And so, the two walked through the chaos for more than 30,000 years. In the nine heavens and ten earths, the traces of the Dao belonging to Emperor Hengyu had disappeared.

During this period, several forbidden zones launched a dark upheaval. A holy being rose up and watched his loved ones die one by one in the dark upheaval, filled with grief and indignation.

Unfortunately, this Holy Body has not yet risen to power.

As darkness and turmoil descended, the Prince of Hengyu was born. With the cultivation of a Quasi-Emperor at the ninth level, he wielded the Hengyu Furnace and charged into the depths of the universe.

On that day, the Hengyu Furnace burst forth with the most dazzling flames, burning everything in the universe. The Emperor's son burned the Emperor's blood within his body, briefly gaining terrifying power and dragging down a Supreme Being to death.

He himself perished, and even his body disappeared. Hengyu Lu was dented by the impact, and with his tattered blood-stained clothes and a severed arm, he returned to the Jiang family.

Emperor Hengyu had only one son, who died protecting the common people during the dark turmoil.

In the centuries following the Dark Turmoil, a human saintly body rose to prominence. Although the Emperor's Path was not opened, this saintly body managed to traverse the heavens with the cultivation of a saint.

During this time, they experienced countless hardships and witnessed the world left behind after the Supreme One launched the Dark Turmoil. The earth was bleeding, and even after hundreds of years, there were not many cultivators left in the world, and countless living beings had died.

The Human Saint Body was furious at the sight. He remembered that his family had died in the Dark Turmoil, and he was spared from being affected only because the Prince of Hengyu arrived in time.

In this lifetime, the Human Race's Holy Body cultivated for two thousand years, and as the world began to recover its vital energy, he achieved great success within those two thousand years.

After achieving his full potential, he silently protected the world. The last time the Dark Turmoil was caused by the Undying Mountain, he now guards the Undying Mountain.

This Great Accomplished Holy Body was also observing the promising talents of the heavens and discovered a boy with exceptional talent beside the Ji River in the Big Dipper Star Region.

He had an ordinary appearance and nothing special about him, but despite his lack of distinctive features, he comprehended the Dao of Space at a young age.

"If there is no emperor in this life, who else can protect this world?" the Great Accomplished Holy Body murmured.

In the decades that followed, many extraordinary talents emerged throughout the heavens, and the path to becoming an emperor began once again.

A young man named Ji Xukong burst into everyone's sight, his mastery of spatial techniques leaving the younger generation in awe.

He even entered the Eight Forbidden Domains at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In the pitch-black chaos, a massive barrier blocked the way.

The terrifying barrier emanated an aura surpassing that of an emperor, and was covered with countless runes. The dazzling barrier, woven from the Great Dao, blocked Xu Changqing's path.

Countless crimson lightning bolts surrounded the area, lightning bolts that surpassed the level of an emperor. Various violent runes raged, the laws of time and space were shattered, and the Great Dao wove together a barrier.

In the cold darkness

In the midst of chaos, the sudden appearance of such a magnificent barrier was no less awe-inspiring and surprising than a dying mortal encountering a city wall after days of wandering in the desert.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Changqing took a step forward, his white hair dancing wildly, his black clothes fluttering in the wind, and in an instant he arrived not far from the barrier.

Frowning, he looked at the barrier and said softly, "Even a Great Emperor cannot break through the Dao patterns on this barrier."

He recalled the plot of Sacred Ruins. Before Chu Feng became a Mortal Immortal, he couldn't break through the world barrier; only a Mortal Immortal could.

"What if the two of us join forces?" The Empress followed Xu Changqing's steps, her smooth black hair swaying gently, her white clothes fluttering, and she wore a ghost mask.

Xu Changqing stared at the barrier in front of him, lost in thought. Chu Feng's situation was the destruction of all the heavens, while this was only equivalent to the world he was in.

With their combat power, they should be able to kill a True Immortal.

The barrier of this world before us is merely a Great Dao Law that transcends the realm of humanity, similar to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

They can all break through their own world barriers to enter the chaos, and even open up the path to immortality and strange worlds.

The two of them working together should be able to break down a corner of this world's barriers.

“Okay.” Xu Changqing nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous boom erupted, and terrifying chaotic divine lightning enveloped his body, the chaos dense and intense.

A dazzling burst of fist light erupted, shattering everything in the universe. The rules exploded under the Immortal Thunder Fist, and the white ripples suppressed the world's barriers.

The Empress activated the mortal realm, and a tremendous blade of light erupted from it, severing time and splitting through eternity.

"boom!"

The two attacked with all their might, shaking the world barrier. Finally, they worked together to open a corner of the world barrier.

Without any hesitation, Xu Changqing and the Empress entered the world directly.

As soon as they entered, they sensed a different aura, a rejection from the laws of the Great Dao.

Xu Changqing and the Empress suppressed their own Great Dao Laws once again, sat cross-legged in the depths of the universe, and carefully comprehended this world.

However, they discovered that this world had no Heavenly Heart Mark, and even its cultivation system did not belong to the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

This is a closed world, with no connection to the outside world, and it has been drifting in chaos. It is still moving rapidly now, and its destination is unknown.

"That shouldn't be the case. The Desolate Emperor's system covers all the heavens and myriad worlds. The system was already planted before the world was shattered." The Empress was somewhat surprised because the system of this world was very different.

Without Sendai, there have only been four great emperors throughout history.

Xu Changqing frowned. His vast divine sense swept across the myriad realms, but he discovered that while the life and technology here were somewhat advanced, the cultivation system was from the Chaotic Ancient Era.

In other words, before the Desolate Heavenly Emperor planted the Dao Seed, this world had already been lost in chaos.

It is very likely that when the Dark Turmoil came, the Desolate Emperor had not yet grown up and was shattered. After billions of years, this place has been revitalized.

"No, the Chaotic Ancient Era was incredibly vast. This might just be a world created by a True Immortal within that era, which is why it differs from the Great Dao of the outside world."

"Then it was isolated, and the seed of the Dao was not transmitted inside." The Empress had a flash of inspiration.

The laws governing her ancient forbidden land are different from those of the outside world.

Xu Changqing also remembered that the Desolate Emperor passed down the system of using one's own body as a seed when he was at the peak of humanity, and "sowed" along the Great Dao of the Heavens.

However, those worlds were shrouded in the laws of immortal kings or true immortals, and with his cultivation level at that time, he probably couldn't break through those barriers.

Just like the Sacred Ruins of later generations, the myriad realms of heaven and earth shattered and were divided into thirty-six heavens, and the world they were born in was the Lesser Underworld.

And beside the Lesser Underworld, there are many other worlds, such as the Greater Underworld and the Greater Yang World.

Moreover, the cultivation systems are all different.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. Let's go see what's going on inside." Xu Changqing stood up from the universe and stood side by side with the Empress as they walked through this world.

Arriving in a vast star field, after disguising themselves, they discovered that most of the people here were not very powerful, and many even had no cultivation at all.

However, he possesses an incredibly strong physical body, having received various herbal decoctions and machines from a young age to enhance his abilities.

It wasn't as developed as the Eternal Starfield; it was more like Earth in later times.

Through investigation, it was learned that all these things were created by a great emperor, but that emperor only lived for ten thousand years before passing away.

Because there is no immortal matter in this world, in billions of years, only four powerful beings have ever become emperors.

"I can't sense the existence of the Immortal Path here, nor can I sense the existence of any strange world. It's a world independent of chaos." The Empress carefully sensed all the fluctuations, only to discover that this place was detached from the Immortal Realm.

In the time that followed, Xu Changqing and the Empress traveled through this world, learning many secrets about it.

Ancient texts record that this place is called Linxian Land, one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. However, when the alien army invaded, this world was shattered. Because this place was protected by the laws of true immortals, it was separated from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and drifted in chaos.

In the following period, the two of them began to collect the laws of the Chaotic Ancient Era. However, through hundreds of years of observation, they found that the people here all stopped cultivating after reaching the Void Dao Realm, because for them, the Dao Seed was very difficult to find.

Only those beings with abundant opportunities can find a good seed for the Dao.

"So our Life Spring is the Cave Heaven Realm, and the Sea of ​​Wheels is formed by the collision of life and death energies." The Empress carefully studied the Chaotic Ancient Cultivation System and gained a great deal.

Unfortunately, there were no great opportunities in this world, because those four great emperors had already plundered them all.

Once, Xu Changqing found the tomb of a great emperor, broke in, and saw the records of that emperor.

That emperor received the inheritance and seed of the immortals. Moreover, all four emperors had received such seeds and were able to become emperors because of the immortal seeds.

They also tried to break down the barriers between worlds and travel to the Chaos to find the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths recorded in the records, but found that they could not break through them on their own.

He passed away peacefully.

Chapter 150 Confession?

After spending several hundred years in this world, Xu Changqing and the Empress found that they had gained nothing, so they decided to return.

People are unaware that beings from beyond the heavens have ever visited this world, and they continue to live their lives as before.

Neither Xu Changqing nor the Empress left behind the cultivation methods of the Desolate Emperor. If an exceptionally talented individual were to emerge and create a new cultivation system, that would truly be defying the heavens.

This time, they traveled back very quickly because they had accurate coordinates. As long as they followed the accurate coordinates in their minds, they could travel back at full speed.

After returning to their hometown, the two did not rush back to the desolate forbidden land, but continued to wander around.

This return to its homeland took only three hundred years, while the journey there took tens of thousands of years.

"During that time, several more dark upheavals were launched?" the Empress murmured, feeling an oppressive and despairing atmosphere as soon as she returned to the universe.

However, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth began to recover, and a new round of the Emperor's Path began.

Emperor Hengyu has been dead for over ten thousand years, and his Dao traces have disappeared.

During this period, another dark upheaval occurred, and a human holy body was born. Unfortunately, one of the human holy bodies was killed by the overlord body.

Thousands of years ago, a Holy Body was also born. That Holy Body directly settled in the Big Dipper Star Region, not far from the Undying Mountain.

In the Big Dipper constellation, the weather is clear, the sky is vast and blue, and the sun shines brightly on the world.

Xu Changqing and the Empress changed their appearances and entered a city. They randomly went to a small tavern and ordered expensive dishes.
