The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 11 The Ninth Heavenly Palace

Although the Immortal Emperor's Mark is a manifestation of lightning tribulation, it is ultimately incomparable to that of ordinary Dao-proving individuals.

The supreme imperial might that erupted from every gesture seemed to suppress all the heavens and myriad realms.

Endless divine light burst forth, engulfing the entire edge of the universe, and all the myriad paths of heaven and earth emitted mournful cries, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Faced with the attack of the Immortal Emperor's Mark, Chu Tianshu dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately swung his sword and unleashed a stunning sword light to press down on it.

The sword light was extremely dazzling, containing Chu Tianshu's Dao and Dharma, as if it could annihilate all things in the world.

In an instant, the world was ablaze with light as two extreme forces collided, triggering a massive explosion.

The surrounding space was annihilated inch by inch, and chaotic void currents raged across the edge of the universe.

In the endless sea of ​​lightning, Chu Tianshu encountered an unprecedented enemy, his physical body being repeatedly shattered by the Immortal Emperor's mark.

Crystal-clear purple blood flew out from the endless sea of ​​lightning; it was Chu Tianshu's perfected Overlord Body blood.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"As expected of one of the greatest schemers in history, he managed to force me to this point with just a remnant of the past manifested by a lightning tribulation."

Amidst the vast sea of ​​lightning, Chu Tianshu appeared extremely disheveled, his clothes tattered.

The Great Accomplished Body, comparable to that of an emperor, was covered with countless cracks, like a porcelain doll about to shatter. Thick life essence overflowed from the wounds, spreading throughout the entire Heavenly Palace.

As one of the few powerful figures comparable to the Emperor, the Undying Emperor's strength is indeed formidable.

It was merely a mark manifested by a lightning tribulation, yet the power it unleashed had already subtly exceeded the scope of the Extreme Dao Realm.

Otherwise, given Chu Tianshu's mastery of the Overlord Body and his final kick, the fight would never have been so difficult.

As one of the few physiques in the human universe capable of sparring with those who have attained the Dao, the Great Body at its peak is said to be able to challenge even the Great Emperor.

With abundant vital energy and a superb physical body, he truly met the standards of an imperial physique.

This is the root cause of why the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body and the Great Accomplishment Holy Body can challenge the ancient emperors.

Furthermore, Chu Tianshu had already explored the Great Dragon into the Immortal Platform to over 90%, infinitely approaching the Imperial Dao Domain, and had almost mastered over 90% of the Imperial Dao Laws.

In terms of primordial spirit, Chu Tianshu has also achieved extraordinary success.

Although he did not obtain the secret of cultivating the primordial spirit, in this era of difficult cultivation, Chu Tianshu had to face the suppression of all the myriad paths of heaven and earth with every step he took forward.

Each breakthrough and each trial forged Chu Tianshu's unwavering will and incomparably powerful primordial spirit, making him no less capable than those who had attained the Dao.

With a fully formed imperial body, nine-tenths of the imperial laws, and a fully formed imperial primordial spirit, Chu Tianshu's combat power truly stepped into the realm of the ultimate path.

Even the Supreme Being Qiwu, after undergoing the ultimate ascension and regaining his former invincible Dao Fruit, was no match for Chu Tianshu at this moment.

If it weren't for the Black Mist Supreme's intervention, Chu Tianshu was confident that he could have completely killed Qiwu Supreme at the cost of only minor injuries.

"Fight again!"

Chu Tianshu roared, and the countless wounds on his body instantly healed. His body burst forth with brilliant light, and his aura surged once more.

Boom boom boom!
The Heavenly Sword swept across the sky, its sharp and unparalleled sword light unleashed by Chu Tianshu, seemingly about to cleave the entire world in two.

Heaven and earth wailed, the universe trembled, and all living beings trembled under Chu Tianshu's sword light.

Wherever this sword beam passed, space shattered, stars collapsed, and endless chaotic energy surged forth.

A world-shaking battle has begun again, and the entire tribulation of lightning is engulfed by endless light.

The laws were broken, the Great Dao roared, and strange phenomena of the universe's birth and death appeared, as if the universe was about to be destroyed.

This terrifying divine battle lasted for nine days and nine nights before gradually subsiding.

"Failed?"

A supreme being from a forbidden zone looked at the lightning tribulation gradually subsiding in the desolate edge of the universe and wondered, "What a pity. This human prodigy encountered the Undying Emperor during the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, and his efforts were in vain." Another supreme being sighed.

The reason why so few people can survive the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation is that the tribulation will reveal the mark of the person who attained enlightenment in the past.

Even if these marks don't represent the peak combat power of a Daoist, they still possess about 70-80% of their strength.

Ordinary people who are about to attain enlightenment have not yet fully entered that realm, so how can they contend with it?
Furthermore, given that Chu Tianshu had encountered not only the Nine Heavenly Venerables but also Holy Emperors and Divine Emperors, it was already quite surprising that he had managed to hold on until this point.

It is quite normal for it to fall into the hands of the immortal emperor, the supreme god in legend.

Throughout history, there have always been one or two beings whose existence surpasses human imagination.

Even the proud among them had to admit that there were differences among those who had attained enlightenment, and the Undying Emperor was one of them.

"It's good that we failed. Otherwise, given the domineering nature of this human prodigy, we might have a hard time dealing with him in the future," a supreme being from a forbidden zone said gloatingly.

For the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, the greatest danger always comes from the contemporary Dao Prover.

Unless they are truly unable to contain themselves, they would not choose to launch a dark upheaval when a sage has descended upon the world.

It's not that those who attain enlightenment in this world have such noble sentiments as to be willing to risk their lives for all living beings.

These supreme beings in forbidden zones are truly treasures from head to toe; their imperial weapons, imperial blood, and imperial bodies are enough to make contemporary Daoists drool.

In particular, these supreme beings in forbidden zones are not in good condition, and even if they have reached the ultimate sublimation, they are no match for the contemporary Dao-proving beings who control the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Furthermore, suppressing the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone would ensure eternal fame; why not?

"what?"

"The one who underwent the tribulation is already dead, so why hasn't the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation subsided yet?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the sea of ​​lightning, which had been gradually calming down, began to surge violently, and a majestic figure appeared and disappeared in the lightning tribulation.

"Look, isn't that the human prodigy?"

"He's still alive?"

"What? How is this possible?"

"Even the Undying Emperor couldn't stop him. Could it be that this human is truly defying the heavens?"

When the supreme beings saw the figure in the sea of ​​lightning, they all gasped in shock.

For a moment, the entire universe fell into a deathly silence, and all living beings held their breath, not daring to exhale even a breath.

The imposing figure took a step forward and charged into the Ninth Heavenly Palace.

"He broke into the Ninth Heavenly Palace!"

"At this point, why does he still insist on undergoing the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation? Isn't he afraid of dying and losing his cultivation, thus wasting his entire life's hard work?"

"Hmph, if he's asking for his own death, he has no one to blame but himself!"

Boom boom boom!
As Chu Tianshu stepped into the Ninth Heavenly Palace, countless strange phenomena appeared out of thin air.

Above the heavens, chains of divine laws and order manifested, demonstrating the endless principles of heaven and earth.

Each chain of divine order seems to contain supreme truths; comprehending any one of them can lead to an unparalleled realm.

As Chu Tianshu looked around, he felt countless insights rising in his heart, and his Dao realm began to soar rapidly.

At the edge of heaven and earth, a terrifying phantom stood in the center, shrouded in hazy ultimate laws, its aura vast and boundless.

It possesses an invincible spirit that can conquer the universe and traverse the past, present, and future.
