Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

However, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but roar to the sky, "Yes, this is the feeling!"

Wu Shi formed hand seals, and Daoist seals formed from the power of time appeared in the void, revealing his astonishing talent in formations.

Now, he used the laws of time to condense array patterns and arranged them in the void, forming some kind of grand array!

"Reverse time and space!"

boom!

In an instant, celestial lightning descended upon the world, its terrifying aura making one momentarily believe someone was about to undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality. Around the lightning, celestial rain fell, and divine light illuminated the world.

Light pierced through the universe and penetrated the star field. A golden light rose from the Eastern Wilderness and pierced through the outer realm.

It gives the impression that someone is opening the gates of heaven and creating a new world!

"Boom!"

The next moment, countless people felt it. The entire Eastern Wilderness was shaking violently. Many cracks appeared outside countless cities. The void shattered, the ground cracked, and some houses in the cities shook, as if a magnitude 7 earthquake had caused many cities to collapse.

Finally, some people saw two beams of divine light rush into the outer realm, where they engaged in a fierce battle in the starry sky.

A bell tolled, suppressing chaos, while a nine-colored sword light pierced the dark universe, staining the beginningless universe with blood.

The battle raged on for an unknown duration, with both Xu Jingxian and Wu Shi covered in blood, yet no victor emerged.

However, Wu Shi was seriously injured. His entire body was cut open by the nine-colored sword light, leaving countless sword wounds all over his body.

As for Xu Jingxian, blood was flowing from her red lips beneath the mask, dripping onto her proud chest. There was a bloody hole above her eye, and her hands were covered in bruises.

When Wu Shi saw Xu Jingxian's situation, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. Damn it, after fighting for so long, she only suffered a little injury.

Even if he is the emperor's son, it shouldn't be like this. The emperor's son definitely can't beat him.

Because the Nine Li Emperor's son had his Dao Heart shattered by his own attack. There was a prodigy in the Central Plains whom he had never fought, but he was no match for him.

But Xu Jingxian is abnormal. Her physique is heaven-defying, and her Dao techniques are terrifyingly powerful. A casual strike is a Dao technique at the level of an emperor.

Moreover, each strike is unique. For example, with each sword strike, Wushi can sometimes sense the will of Heaven targeting him, feel the sword intent that cleaves through eternity, and even sense the aura of reincarnation.

For example, the Law of Time is stronger and more mature than the laws governing my own path through time; it might even be a technique of an emperor.

However, no emperor in the world has ever become an emperor by cultivating the Way of Time.

There are also those lightning bolts that resemble tribulations, which, upon their appearance, eclipse the sun and moon, extinguish the color of heaven and earth, and draw the attention of all, as if someone is truly undergoing a tribulation to ascend to immortality.

Every Taoist technique is terrifying beyond compare.

Emperor Wushi felt that he was the one with the most profound foundation, after all, his father was a Great Accomplished Holy Body and his mother was a Great Emperor.

But still not as good as Xu Jingxian

To this day, none of them have truly found their own path. In the early stages, Taoist techniques and physical constitution were everything.

In the later stages, it all came down to his own understanding and talent.

"The gap is quite large now, but once I find my own path, I should be able to completely crush her."

"The stronger her bloodline, the harder it is for her to break free from the bloodline order left in her body by her parents. But I'm different. In the future, I'll definitely be able to easily crush her." Wu Shi comforted himself.

Another fierce battle ensued.

In the end, as expected, Wushi lost.

He was thrown into the depths of space, his consciousness was hazy, and he almost died.

The feeling of failing for the first time in life is truly unpleasant.

Wu Shi finally understood why those geniuses had looked at him with such fear and resentment back then.

It's because it's too strong.

When you lose, you feel resentful, but you have no hope of beating yourself, so you harbor resentment.

In fact, he didn't know that Xu Jingxian was also seriously injured; she was just putting on a brave face in front of Wushi.

Even if Xu Jingxian is strong, and has great advantages in bloodline and physique, she has already severed the Dao. Wushi has already begun to walk his own path and has the rudiments of his own Dharma.

As for myself, I only managed to defeat Wushi by using the advantages and techniques given to me by my parents; I probably won't be able to defeat him later.

However, it was this great battle that made Xu Jingxian realize that she possessed an incredibly strong foundation to defeat Wushi.

If I only possess the Chaos Body and some Great Emperor scriptures and techniques, I definitely cannot defeat Wushi.

"This battle was very rewarding." After Wushi recovered from his injuries, he began to reminisce about the battle.

The other party's time-based techniques are incredibly advanced, greatly aiding my own path.

P.S.: Don't worry, the protagonist's daughter won't get married, won't have any ambiguous relationships, and will remain beautiful on her own.

Wu Shi wouldn't be a simp, nor would he openly express his love; he would treat it as a relationship that was more than friends but less than lovers.

Chapter 171 The Scene Two Hundred Thousand Years Ago

Wu Shi fled in defeat, and no one knew about it except for Xu Jingxian and her parents. No one else witnessed this scene.

If anyone saw this, they would be utterly astonished; if all the people of the heavens knew, it would be simply unbelievable.

Wushi will be defeated? Impossible!

He's so powerful, who can defeat him?

Unfortunately, no one witnessed this scene.

After being defeated once, Wushi became silent, no longer full of vigor, but extremely calm, and began to bury himself in arduous cultivation.

He embarked on the ancient road through the starry sky, and Xu Jingxian naturally followed suit, heading towards the Imperial Pass.

Fifty years later, the two faced off again at their peak. In those fifty years, they had both become Great Sages, their rate of advancement being nothing short of monstrous.

They were already Great Sages before they were even a hundred years old.

In this epic battle, Wu Shi was slightly weaker, but the gap had already begun to close.

Because now, although Xu Jingxian's physique is terrifying, and physique will play a significant role later on, Wushi's physique is not bad either.

This battle made all the powerful beings in the universe aware that there was a young woman who could contend with Wushi, but the outcome remained unknown.

For fifty years, Wushi devoted himself to arduous cultivation, roaming the heavens and destroying a divine mech in the Eternal Starfield, nearly sinking the Eternal Ancient Star. He was hailed as the second Heavenly Demon in history.

The first Heavenly Demon was naturally Wuqing, but no one wanted to mention that name.

Because this person was a ruthless individual who almost destroyed the Eternal Starfield, but Wu Shi was no less formidable, having beaten up all ten major families one by one, and destroyed numerous Saint-level mechs, as well as God-level mechs.

Over the next century, both of them made rapid progress, especially Wu Shi, whose combat power became even stronger, because they would have a major battle every thirty years.

He secretly learned the other party's techniques, especially Xu Jingxian's terrifying time technique, which Wushi learned almost completely. He also secretly learned some of the secrets of her terrifying lightning technique.

He had already guessed whose offspring Xu Jingxian was.

Having traveled through the starry sky for so many years, I have heard countless stories.

The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor, with white hair and dressed in black, was so powerful that he caused the geniuses of that time to despair, and they couldn't even see his back.

He has a special physique that gives him the power to suppress others, preventing him from unleashing his full potential at his peak.

Xu Jingxian also experienced this situation; Wu Shi was suppressed once and was directly defeated.

As for who can be with the Ruthless Heavenly Emperor, it must be the Empress of the same era.

Otherwise, Wu Shi couldn't imagine who could have given birth to a prodigy like Xu Jingxian, who was even more monstrous than him.

If they were the offspring of two Heavenly Emperors, he wouldn't think much of it.

Because his parents' cultivation level was inferior to theirs, and the scriptures they practiced were even less advanced.

So if you lose, you lose.

But Wu Shi refused to admit defeat; his resolve was unwavering. He envisioned a future where he could defeat the offspring of the two Heavenly Emperors, a victory that would bring him immense satisfaction.

The exhilarating feeling of turning the tables on someone is something he'll probably never forget.

In the years that followed, in the dazzling golden age, everyone else became their supporting characters, with only one man and one woman standing side by side, invincible under heaven.

On the road to the Emperor's Palace, some guides and many powerful figures pursued them, but they were all killed in return.

Among the younger generation, none could withstand three moves from them.

Even the legendary Kunlun Immortal Clan were defeated by these two.

The older generation exclaimed, "These two are so similar to the era of the two Heavenly Emperors recorded in ancient history!"

"Could it be that two more emperors will emerge in this lifetime?"

According to ancient records, two hundred thousand years ago, two Heavenly Emperors emerged, invincible in the starry sky, slaying many holy spirits, killing supreme beings, shaking forbidden zones, and creating an unprecedented golden age.

In that lifetime, the forbidden zone was extremely quiet, and was even startled away, fleeing from the Big Dipper.

In that era, there was no darkness or turmoil, because there were two great Heavenly Emperors suppressing it.

In his youth, he severed the ancient path of the Holy Spirit, killed extraterrestrial gods, and ascended to the throne by stepping onto the Great Dao of the Nine Heavens.

In this era, people believe that it is probably no weaker than in the previous one.

This era also saw the emergence of two exceptional figures, and several younger generations had the potential to become emperors, but these hopes were dashed by two individuals.

Like a genius from the Central Plains in the Big Dipper Star Region, he is almost the strongest among the younger generation below the two.

Xu Changqing had been paying close attention to Wushi's growth, thinking to himself, "Wushi is stronger than in the original story. Even that young member of the Kunlun clan with the bloodline of a true immortal was still easily defeated by Wushi after entering the Divine Forbidden Zone."

"Moreover, he's also started to hide his trump cards."

Over the next few hundred years, Xu Changqing and the Empress watched their daughter grow up. Starting with the Great Sage, she would break through a new realm every ten years, and the same was true for Wushi.

The two of them cultivated at a rapid pace.

The younger generation has only just become Saint Kings, while they are already Quasi-Emperors.

However, the fact that the genius from Zhongzhou was able to keep up with their cultivation level puzzled the two of them.

Although the Central Plains Prodigy also possesses a special physique and is the strongest among the younger generation in terms of combat power, it is impossible for him to catch up with their cultivation level.

Wu Shi's improvement speed began to accelerate rapidly. He became stronger, and every time he fought Xu Jingxian, he was able to steal her top-level secret techniques.

After the two reached the age of 480, their cultivation level also reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

This scene seems familiar; the two Heavenly Emperors of yesteryear rose to power at an astonishing pace.
