The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 1 Crossing the Heavenly Tyrant Body to Great Success Tribulation
"Since the Battle Saint Emperor failed to transform into a Battle Immortal, an unprecedented divine war that has affected all the heavens and myriad realms has begun."

"This war of the gods had a wide-ranging impact, involving countless Dao-proving individuals from the early Primordial Era and even the Mythological Era."

"Even many celestial beings and emperors who have been confirmed to have passed away in ancient history have appeared to settle scores with all their old enemies."

"The flames of war spread across the four seas and eight wastelands. Countless mountains and stars were reduced to dust in this divine war, and countless races were wiped out in this great war."

"Even the once high and mighty enlightened ones could not escape, with only a few managing to escape and return to the forbidden zone of life to eke out a living."

"After this battle, the world changed drastically, the Great Dao was suspended high, and we entered an unprecedented period of great difficulty."

"Let alone the lofty Celestial Venerables and Ancient Emperors, even Quasi-Venerables and Quasi-Emperors have only appeared a handful in the past 100,000 years."

"All things in heaven and earth suffered another blow from the will of heaven. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly diminished, and even the spirituality of immortal gold and divine medicines was greatly reduced."

"At the same time, the lifespan of cultivators is once again drastically reduced, leaving only three-quarters of that of the Primordial Era."

On a lush, sacred mountain, an old man with white hair and beard was preaching to the crowd below, and he happened to be talking about the series of changes that occurred after the Battle Saint Emperor failed to transform into a Battle Immortal.

"Master, were there really Celestial Venerables and Ancient Emperors living ten thousand years ago?"

"Yes, yes, aren't those all things imagined by the ancients?"

"Master, could it be that you've encountered some mishap during your mortal trials, causing you to utter such nonsense?"

"It's over! Master's cultivation has encountered a major problem. We must leave quickly, or we will all face a great calamity today!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's face grew increasingly dark. He immediately stood up, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

"You unfilial disciples, now you even dare to joke with me. I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

Just as the old man was about to make a move, suddenly, a vast aura came from the edge of the universe, stirring up all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Has someone triggered a tribulation to attain enlightenment?"

The old man stopped in his tracks, staring at the desolate edge of the universe, and exclaimed in disbelief.

On the edge of the universe, a majestic figure stands amidst the sea of ​​stars, surrounded by the illusory images of nine immortal phoenixes, nine true dragons, nine qilin, and nine white tigers.

Boundless thunderclouds gathered, and the vast aura of tribulation lightning covered the entire universe, as if a cataclysmic calamity was about to strike.

"After three thousand years of arduous cultivation since coming to this world, I have finally reached this crucial step."

Chu Tianshu, dressed in a black cloak, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemingly holding the birth and death of the universe, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

"It was all by chance that I was able to come to this world. If I hadn't impulsively decided to go out that day, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today," Chu Tianshu thought to himself.

He was not from this world, but one day he suddenly had a whim and calculated that his opportunity was about to arrive.

Unfortunately, he didn't check the auspicious day before leaving home and was hit head-on by a car, his body was instantly crushed to pieces.

Just as he was about to return to the world, a strange celestial light appeared, bringing his soul to this world for reincarnation, which led to the Chu Tianshu we know today.

For the first ten years after arriving in this world, Chu Tianshu had returned to a feudal dynasty similar to ancient China.

It wasn't until he accidentally found a fragment of a Taoist scripture and learned about cultivation realms that he realized he had entered the legendary world of Shrouding the Heavens.

"Unfortunately, I arrived a bit too early and ended up in the early stages of the Desolate Era."

At the end of the Primordial Era, the Battle Saint Emperor failed to transform into a Battle Immortal, which triggered a divine war that affected all the heavens and myriad realms, bringing the Primordial Era to an end.

These two momentous events, which shook the entire universe, also triggered extremely serious consequences. The Great Dao of the Universe underwent a shift, the Heavenly Will Blade reappeared, the Great Dao hung high, and the difficulty of cultivation increased dramatically.

It was even more difficult than the post-ancient era that Ye Fan lived in in his previous life.

For 100,000 years, the highest cultivation level of those ancient Celestial Venerable lineages and ancient royal families was only at the second level of the Immortal Platform, which was extremely inconsistent with their status as Celestial Venerable lineages and ancient royal families.

Even if some exceptional geniuses are born occasionally, they are quickly cultivated and then sealed away by their elders using divine sources, in preparation for being released to the world after it has recovered in future generations.

This situation was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the ancient races, but for the human race, it was the best news imaginable.

Throughout the millions of years of the Primordial Era, only two emperors, the Sun and the Moon, emerged among the human race.

For almost 99% of the time, the human race has no emperor reigning supreme.

However, the human race reproduced far too rapidly, with a population so vast that it occupied most of the universe's territory, making it arguably the largest race in the universe.

However, this largest "race" in the universe has not had an ancient emperor descend for a long time. Over time, it has been regarded as food by the ancient races, who have the power of life and death over it at will.

Except during the reigns of the two Holy Emperors, the Sun and the Moon, most of the human race was oppressed by the ancient races for a long period of time.

Since the universe changed and the era of hardship arrived, environmental degradation has far exceeded people's imagination.

Over these ten thousand years, cultivation has become extremely difficult, and very few people have been able to break through the Dao-severing barrier.

The strength of the human race and the ancient races was rapidly narrowed, and most of the ancient royal families lived in seclusion and had no time to care about the human race.

Without the suppression of the ancient races, the human race began to rise gradually, and countless geniuses emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, shining with their own brilliant light.

However, these human prodigies were both fortunate and unfortunate.

Fortunately, most of the ancient races were living in seclusion at this time. They did not suffer the same fate as the ancient sages, who were ruthlessly suppressed by the other races. Many of them were killed before they even had a chance to show their potential.

They were fortunate to live in an ancient era when all races were silent; they were undoubtedly lucky.

Unfortunately, this was a time of great change in the universe, when the Great Dao was hanging high and the essence of heaven and earth was extremely depleted.

Various rare treasures simply cannot be nurtured in the environment, and cultivation resources are extremely scarce.

Many people spend their entire lives cultivating, yet they can only wander around in the Sea of ​​Wheels, with very few actually breaking through.

Only after Chu Tianshu began cultivating did he realize that he was actually in this transitional period between the old and the new.

Fortunately, he was exceptionally talented in this life and possessed the bloodline of the legendary Azure Heaven Overlord Clan.

It is said that once the Heavenly Overlord Body is fully mastered, it can challenge Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors, although it will ultimately be defeated.

However, it can barely be called a supreme title, as it is one of the most powerful physiques in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

However, at this time, the Heavenly Tyrant Body was far less renowned than it would be in later generations, and very few people knew about it.

However, Chu Tianshu knew the potential of the Azure Heaven Overlord Body. In terms of physique, it was only below the Chaos Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, belonging to the first-class quality, and was on par with the Undying Golden Body, which was extremely terrifying.

At the same time, because of that wisp of immortal light, Chu Tianshu's comprehension greatly increased, and he made progress in his cultivation, which led him to abandon self-imposed seclusion and choose to prove his Dao in this world.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Chu Tianshu was lost in thought, his Great Completion Tribulation of the Heavenly Overlord Body finally arrived.

The Great Tribulation of Lightning was finally completed, and boundless lightning illuminated most of the universe, instantly awakening some terrifying beings that had been dormant for a long time.
