Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

That was just a wisp of the Great Sage's aura, yet it created an extremely terrifying scene.

Even Qianlong, hundreds of millions of miles away, could feel a tightness in his chest and a sense of suffocation. It was too strong; that aura was terrifying.

The nearby city began to crumble, an earthquake struck, and buildings thousands of meters tall began to sway and finally collapsed with a roar. Various trains and hovercars flying in the sky also exploded in an instant.

Suddenly, the dimly lit Eternal Starfield burst into flames, and the instruments in the sky turned into fireworks, exploding continuously.

Everyone was in despair.

"boom!"

The next moment, an even more terrifying heavenly tribulation appeared.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing immediately threw the nail in his hand at the Saint King expert on the ground.

At that very moment, with a deafening roar, the thunder of the Great Sage's divine might crashed down.

"what!"

The Soul-Slaying Nail, carrying a blinding light, covered the Holy King's armor. The armor let out a mournful cry and then vanished completely.

Those in the shadows gasped. Damn, this kid doesn't play by the rules.

Xu Changqing looked pained; he knew that the nail was gone forever.

Because nails contain countless evil energies and vengeful spirits, lightning is the most effective way to counter such weapons, so that weapon was essentially destroyed.

But it's not a big problem. He still has five. He originally had six, but now he only has five left.

Xu Changqing flew up from the Earth's core, bringing with him a large amount of magma, and flew rapidly in one direction, constantly resisting the terrifying heavenly tribulation.

He removed the demonic flag from his body, gripped the flagpole, and as he passed familiar landmarks and aristocratic families, he stopped without hesitation, standing in mid-air and coldly looking down.

In the city, countless people stood silently on the streets, weeping quietly. Some little girls hid in their mothers' arms, and the mothers, with tears in their eyes and mouths agape, wanted to plead for the white-haired man in the sky.

Xu Changqing took in the expressions on these people's faces.

"Sir, I beg you, please spare me! My child is only three years old!"

"My God, my child is due in two days, please spare us."

"My God, my wife is waiting for me to come home. I'm not from here. Please let me go!"

Countless mortals knelt on the ground begging for mercy, tears streaming down their faces, banging their heads against the ground, their heads covered in blood. Even pregnant women were no exception.

Xu Changqing remained expressionless, his white hair fluttering, his body covered in blood and wounds. He stood in mid-air, holding a milky-white bone knife that was dripping blood.

He didn't speak, but instead targeted those with cultivation levels who were wearing family or faction clothing.

He had no

He Lianmin directly waved the battle flag in his hand.

"Woooooo~"

One after another, the sounds of ghosts wailing and howling arose. Countless mortals noticed that ghosts were passing by them, but they did not harm them, which made them happy.

A pregnant woman, dressed in a blue bodysuit with a purple three-star symbol on her chest and delicate ancient characters below, is kneeling on the ground, praying.

When Xu Changqing saw this scene, his eyes immediately turned cold. He was very familiar with the symbol on the chest; it belonged to the family that piloted the Saint-level spaceship.

"Kill all participating families and factions, regardless of age or gender!"

Xu Changqing gave the order, and the ghosts and vengeful spirits, laughing and crying, surged into the major cities in an overwhelming manner.

He wrapped himself in the Great Sage Demon Banner, and was extremely familiar with the aura of those aristocratic families.

In the blink of an eye, apart from mortals and rogue cultivators who did not participate in the battle, everyone was overwhelmed by countless vengeful ghosts.

"what"

"No, no!"

"my child!"

Various cries of agony, screams, and calls for help echoed from within the city, but Xu Changqing remained unmoved.

Soon, 30% of the city's population had perished. Blood was everywhere in the streets, and rivers of blood contained various heads, metal objects, and ruins.

The once bright and technologically advanced town is now extremely desolate, with various buildings collapsed, countless flames erupting, various electric lights swirling around, and acrid smoke billowing.

This day was the darkest day in the Eternal Starfield, known to the world as the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.

An extraterrestrial demon invaded the Eternal Starfield, causing the fall of powerful families in the Eternal Starfield, leaving fewer than a hundred members in each family.

Some family members were piloting spaceships and training in space, unaware of the changes in their family, so Xu Changqing was powerless to help them.

On this day, the Eternal Starfield was filled with cries, blood, and the pungent smell of blood, along with intense fire and blazing tears.

The Eternal Family had many noble families, but now they have all been reduced to ruins.

Those holy kings couldn't bear to see this scene and wanted to go out and stop it, but they also understood that they were powerless to change the situation and could only choose to escape and go far away into the starry sky.

This is the result of their own actions.

"I will go to find the Immortal Robe. Once I find it, I will go to the Big Dipper to take revenge!" A Great Sage secretly vowed, and the only Great Sage also disappeared into the starry sky.

Because he knew that even after Xu Changqing survived his tribulation, he wasn't very confident he could keep him alive.

Because they still didn't know how much Xu Changqing hadn't revealed.

Emperor Daoyan was a household name. Since he was able to give Xu Changqing so many saintly weapons, he must have given weapons ranging from Great Saint to Quasi-Emperor.

If I act impulsively and go out to fight Xu Changqing, even if he doesn't die once he activates his Quasi-Emperor weapon and attacks me, I should be able to escape from him given his Quasi-Emperor power.

Besides, his blatant appearance must mean he has something to hide.

Many people have this idea: to escape into the starry sky and return after Xu Changqing leaves.

However, two Holy Kings were blinded by rage and waited there for Xu Changqing to complete his tribulation so they could go directly to him and seek revenge.

Xu Changqing naturally noticed it as well, his mouth

A cold smile appeared on his face. He was confident that if he dared to do such a thing, he could leave.

When he was undergoing his tribulation, he also had a talisman made by the Great Sage, so he was not afraid of the Great Sage chasing him, or the Holy King chasing him.

Moreover, he also has the Saint King Armor and spaceship given to him by the Dao Yan Emperor.

While enduring the heavenly tribulation, Xu Changqing unleashed a crushing massacre, sparing no force that had participated in the battle.

The heavenly tribulation grew stronger, and his injuries worsened; and this was only the beginning.

On this day, all living beings in the Eternal Starfield were deeply impressed, as the great powers they revered were all wiped out in blood.

Within the family, regardless of age, gender, or even the pregnant woman, everyone was wiped out, and the buildings were destroyed by terrifying lightning.

Everyone was in despair. The sky was dark, the sun and moon had disappeared, and metal fragments kept falling from the sky.

"A truly ruthless person." Qianlong clicked his tongue, his fear of Xu Changqing growing even stronger.

Lin Qianyu's face was deathly pale. She had witnessed her father and mother fall into the bone knife and her three-year-old sister being cleaved in two.

"No, no, why are you doing this? They didn't do anything to you."

"It was those bastards who surrounded and killed you, why did you have to involve my family?"

Lin Qianyu was so anxious that her face grew paler and paler, her palms and back were covered in sweat, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Seeing this, Qianlong sighed and said softly, "Masochist, let's see if you feel comfortable now. You even like her looks?"

He couldn't bear to see this scene, so he carried Lin Qianyu on his back and fled into the starry sky, taking out the spaceship Lin Qianyu had given him and heading towards the direction of the Imperial Road.

He glanced back at the Eternal Starfield.

They found the white-haired man standing atop a vast mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, kneeling amidst the dense piles of steel and dead bodies, panting heavily, his body covered in blood, with some areas devoid of flesh, exposing stark white bones, while blazing lightning continued to fall from the sky.

This scene left a very deep impression on him.

I'll never forget it.

Chapter 30 The Ominous Heavenly Tribulation

Xu Changqing knelt in a pile of broken metal. At his feet lay countless corpses, blood flowing like a river, the air thick with the stench of blood, and bits of flesh scattered everywhere.

"Boom!"

A terrifying heavenly tribulation appeared; it was a red lightning bolt that, with a single strike, sent him flying from the mountain of corpses. Half of his body was torn apart in mid-air.

But he quickly recovered, and even took out a bottle of blue liquid and drank it all in one gulp.

This is the evolution fluid he found from the destroyed aristocratic families; there are many, many of these things.

This was specifically designed to help a saint evolve to a higher level, but for him, it could only heal his injuries and restore some of his health.

They destroyed countless families, obtained many good things, various crystals that are hard to find in the universe, some immortal gold, and countless cultivation techniques.

"You demon, even the heavens despise you!"

"You deserve to die for slaughtering hundreds of millions of people in my Eternal Kingdom!!!"

"From now on, if we see any outsiders, we shall arrest them and torture them to death!"

In the distance, two voices filled with extreme rage resounded eternally. Two mechs, one gold and one blue, stood billions of miles away, raging in utter impotence.

They dared not approach Xu Changqing, fearing that the terrifying heavenly tribulation would strike them. The only thing they could do was to disturb Xu Changqing's state of mind.

Xu Changqing ignored the two monkeys' impotent rage and instead quietly went through his tribulation or healed his wounds.

"My granddaughter was about to be born, and you actually killed them all! Are you even human?" A hoarse, choked sob came from inside the blue mecha, accompanied by endless resentment.

"What is your purpose in doing this? What good will it do you to kill all those people?!" the golden mech roared in question.

But their shouts went unanswered, which made them even more upset.

"If your family, your descendants, and everyone around you experienced the same scene you've depicted today—the massacre of my family—what would you do? How would you feel?!"

Xu Changqing, who was undergoing his tribulation, heard these words and a cold smile appeared on his lips. His indifferent eyes were like those of the deepest hell, extremely cold. He did not respond and looked indifferently at the heavenly tribulation.

What would that feel like?

What could one feel? Perhaps only endless tranquility.

Because there was no one around him.

Even if they exist, what do I care about their lives or deaths?
