Supreme Heartless Body

On the boundless grassland, Xu Changqing stood bare-chested, his thick white hair cascading to his waist and swaying gently in the breeze. His face was expressionless. He did not know where to go and could only keep walking forward.

He examined his body inwardly and discovered that it had undergone earth-shattering changes.

White runes flowed across his bones, immortal mist rose from his flesh and blood, and his Sea of Bitterness was bright as a mirror, without the slightest trace of impurity.

His five viscera and six bowels radiated different colors. Every organ contained an emotional deity and existed independently.

His Immortal Platform glowed brightly like a golden mirror, reflecting everything within his sea of consciousness.

He also possessed his own Vision. It was himself, half-kneeling atop a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, with Ancient Emperors lying before him.

During the Severing Dao Tribulation, although he could not defeat the strongest Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, some ordinary Ancient Emperors had still fallen beneath his hands, turning into imprinted portraits that entered his Vision.

This was his unique Vision, and it had now become the Vision of his constitution.

As for how powerful it was, he did not know. He only knew that once he activated the Vision, the Ancient Emperor Dao Bodies within would emerge to fight.

My comprehension seems to have improved. Without entanglements or restraints, it feels as though I have broken free of some kind of shackle. My constitution has become stronger, and so has my cultivation speed, Xu Changqing thought to himself.

He could clearly sense that his current constitution was vastly stronger than a Mortal Body. Furthermore, his flesh had been transformed by All Heavens and Myriad Daos, baptized by endless lightning and white water.

I can even sense that the Great Dao is right beside me. It holds no secrets from me.

He could even feel as though his constitution had fused with the Great Dao, like an Innate Dao Body—a constitution close to the Dao.

"Emotion Severing does not mean completely cutting away all emotions. Any living being with intelligence will have emotions to some extent."

"Emotion is the root of all living beings, and also the source of all chaos."

"Perhaps many people will not agree with my Dao and believe that I have eradicated my humanity, but that is not the case."

"I simply will not fall in love. I will have no romantic love, no Family Affection, no friendship, no brotherhood."

Xu Changqing had long understood the meaning of the word emotion. Some people broke through because of the feelings in their hearts, while others worked tirelessly toward goals set for the ones they loved and eventually succeeded.

But even more people were wounded by emotion. After being hurt, they would languish for a time before reigniting the goals in their hearts. Yet upon seeing that person again, they could not help but soften.

Some people appeared heartless, fiends who slaughtered all things, yet in truth, they had fallen onto the demonic path after enduring countless hardships. They were heartless toward others, but toward certain people or matters, they still had feelings.

Yet Xu Changqing had truly become heartless. He no longer held the slightest emotion for the people in his memories.

But if anyone tried to make his heart stir again, he would wield the butcher's blade without hesitation. No one could destroy his path or his Dao heart.

"I wonder where my Supreme Heartless Body ranks among the constitutions of Covering the Heavens," Xu Changqing muttered. His was a constitution close to the Dao.

The abilities of his constitution had yet to be fully developed. For now, he only felt that his cultivation speed had increased and that his physical body had become even more terrifying.

Moreover, after this tribulation, his cultivation had entered the half-step Saint Realm. With only a little more effort, he could pierce that final barrier and completely enter the Saint Realm.

It could not be helped. His Heavenly Tribulation had simply been too abnormal.

"I wonder how she is doing." Xu Changqing thought of the Ruthless Great Emperor in her youth.

At this moment, her cultivation should have been about the same as his.

She had no name and rarely spoke. People merely called her the Female Demon or the Woman in White.

But Xu Changqing knew that she was called Little Nannan. Yet she was no longer little, so calling her Little Nannan would not do. Nannan? That did not seem right either.

Beneath the cloudless sky, the emerald grassland stretched endlessly like a green sea, rolling and undulating as far as the eye could see.

Xu Changqing had no idea where this place was. Back then, the Bone Saber had used a Great Sage's Divine Movement Talisman to race through the universe. They had crossed countless star domains and ended up in some unknown life-bearing star domain.

"Let's find a place to restore my blade..."

He now possessed many precious materials, but no Immortal Gold. However, he did have Divine Iron, materials at the highest tier beneath Immortal Gold.

He did not fuse that Divine Iron into the Bone Saber. Instead, he allowed the Bone Saber's deity to absorb the essence of the Divine Iron and strengthen itself.

Xu Changqing casually found a place to stop. Standing on the grassland, he took out the shattered Bone Saber, then produced over a dozen precious materials beneath Immortal Gold and began helping the Bone Saber refine the essence of the Divine Iron.

Within the Big Dipper Star Domain, a Woman in White stood silently in the starry sky. She gazed in the direction where Xu Changqing had undergone his tribulation and fell silent before leaving without looking back.

After this tribulation, her Dao techniques had risen to another level. Fighting the Dao Bodies of Great Emperors in their youth was an opportunity that countless people could only dream of.

Although she and Xu Changqing had been suppressed the entire time, they had unleashed endless potential amid life and death.

The Woman in White successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and reached the peak of the Severing Dao Realm. She was about to enter the Saint Realm.

She looked back at the Big Dipper Star Domain, her gaze seeming to pierce through the endless starry sky as she looked toward the Feathered Dynasty with killing intent.

In the end, she turned away decisively and walked into the starry sky. She was going to fight upon the Emperor's Road.

The Feathered Dynasty's foundations were far too deep. Had she not obtained a divine object capable of concealing her aura by chance, hiding from the senses of Quasi-Emperors and Great Sages, she would have long since been killed.

She would embark upon the Starry Sky Ancient Road, return with peerless cultivation, and destroy the Feathered Dynasty.

Within the Big Dipper, she had fought many possessors of special constitutions, slain many King Bodies, and killed several Divine Bodies. But that was still not enough to perfect her Dao.

Therefore, on this journey along the Emperor's Road, she would surely return after becoming an Emperor!

Still, she found Xu Changqing's fate rather regrettable. After all, his constitution had also been a Mortal Body, yet his comprehension had been no weaker than hers.

Moreover, they had both been alone and without support, wandering by themselves.

He had also been the one who imparted the Dao to her. Xu Changqing's death left her deeply regretful.

"The Twin Demons of the Era were once incomparably dazzling. With Mortal Bodies, they defeated the Holy Son of Qiankun Holy Land, slew the Ice Cold Body of Moon Palace, and beat the Divine Body of Misty Holy Land to the brink of death. What a pity that they fell."

"The Female Demon's achievements were dazzling. Many King Bodies were defeated by her hand, yet no one knows her name even now."

"Judging from how they faced their tribulations, even peerless Heavenly Prides like the Feathered Divine Son, who have gone onto the ancient road, would have met bitter defeat at their hands."

Everyone lamented their loss. After all, they had never seen or heard of anyone without a special constitution defeating Divine Bodies. Xu Changqing and the Female Demon had given those with Mortal Bodies hope.

Divine Bodies were not invincible.

Xu Jin stood quietly before the window, gazing at the starry sky with sorrow on his face. He deeply respected Xu Changqing.

He even considered himself Xu Changqing's disciple. Even if Xu Changqing did not acknowledge him, he shamelessly acknowledged it himself.

He had cultivated for only a little over twenty years, yet he was already a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"Although I am a Frog Body and not human, as long as I become strong enough, I can fight upon the Emperor's Road in the name of your disciple. That would not disgrace your mighty name," Xu Jin thought to himself, his gaze becoming even more resolute.

Although he had only crossed paths with Xu Changqing once, without Xu Changqing, there would be no him today.

Perhaps he would still be a golden frog, soaking in filthy marshes or lying in the belly of some fierce beast, quietly waiting to die.

On Xu Changqing's side, he had already restored his Bone Saber. Its blade was crystalline like jade, and both its hilt and blade were made of milky-white jade.

Several patterns ran across the milky-white blade, along with a scarlet line extending beside the edge. Only the blade's edge itself was scarlet.

"Baa~"

Sheep bleated from another part of the grassland. Xu Changqing naturally heard them and turned his gaze in that direction.

He discovered a youth who appeared to be only sixteen lying quietly on the grass, one leg crossed over the other, basking in the warm sunlight with a blade of grass between his lips. Behind him were forty sheep.

A tiny lamb rested in his arms. It was small as a puppy and looked adorable as it curled quietly against the youth's chest.

This was the first human Xu Changqing had encountered after walking for so long, but he did not pay any attention to him.

Anyone appearing in a place like this was either a peerless expert or an old monster.
