The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 114 The Immortal Emperor - Fall (3K10K)

When the Emperor of Immortality saw how powerful Taiyi was, he pondered for a long time and decided to abandon his plan to kill Taiyi in order to avoid being caught off guard.

I had thought that the Heavenly Emperor of the human race had passed away at the Immortal Gate on the path to immortality, but it seems that Taiyi, like him, has chosen to conceal his identity and lie low in the shadows.

What shocked the Undying Emperor the most was that in just seventy or eighty thousand years, this human emperor's cultivation had advanced to such a level that, judging from his power, he seemed to be even stronger than him.

This was unbelievable to the Immortal Emperor, who had gone through millions of years and undergone several rebirths to reach this point.

Taiyi, who has cultivated for a full 100,000 years, has actually managed to surpass him.

"Immortal Emperor, you've really been a long time coming for me!"

As Chu Tianshu stepped onto the path to immortality, he immediately saw a young Taoist priest dressed in a golden robe, wearing a phoenix-blooded crimson-gold Taoist crown, holding a five-colored heavenly blade in his hand, with a very handsome face, like a banished immortal.

Calling the Immortal Emperor a banished immortal is not an exaggeration, since he was born in the Immortal Realm and also has the background of an immortal spirit.

If he hadn't unfortunately fallen into a spatial rift as a child, he wouldn't have ended up in the human world.

"Taiyi, have you been searching for me in secret all this time?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Logically speaking, he never leaves any trouble behind when he takes action. How did this human emperor know that he was still alive?
"Stop talking nonsense and suffer death!"

Chu Tianshu was too lazy to waste words. He flipped his right hand, and a nine-colored immortal sword appeared in his palm.

Terrifying killing intent rained down from the immortal sword, seemingly freezing the entire path to immortality, and a faint aura of immortality flowed down from it.

Purple Sky Sword!
After nearly 100,000 years of nurturing by Chu Tianshu across three lifetimes, the profound mysteries of the nine immortal golds have been largely awakened, and they are now only one step away from becoming true immortal artifacts.

"cut!"

Chu Tianshu raised the Zixiao Sword and gently swung it, unleashing an extremely brilliant sword light.

In an instant, the light of the entire path to immortality dimmed, leaving only a dazzling and awe-inspiring sword beam.

Wherever the sword light passed, space and time collapsed, the Great Dao shattered, and all cause and effect and constraints were severed. It seemed to carry a faint sense of ending everything and cutting everything off.

"Humph!"

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

The Undying Emperor snorted coldly. Although Taiyi's power made him feel uneasy, he did not think he would be unable to defeat him.

Not to be outdone, the Undying Emperor also wielded the Undying Heavenly Blade and slashed fiercely at Chu Tianshu.

As the Heavenly Blade flashed, its five-colored blade light stretched like a sea, carrying a transcendent quality that surpassed the laws and principles of the mortal world, making it appear as if it were not of this world.

But the Immortal Emperor's expression changed drastically the next moment.

The anticipated massive collision did not occur; the dazzling sword light did not seem to be unleashed at that moment and did not collide with the Heavenly Blade.

Instead, it slashed directly at the Immortal Emperor's true form, as if to split him in two on the spot.

"Damn it, what kind of magic is this?"

The Undying Emperor was utterly terrified. He roared inwardly and used all his power to activate his Dao techniques, trying to dodge this earth-shattering sword light.

This sword strike came with overwhelming force, clearly not something to be trifled with. The Undying Emperor dared not let it strike him.

In an instant, a phoenix appeared on the path to immortality. Its five-colored wings swirled with light, and a terrifying aura descended, shaking the path to immortality violently.

If this place weren't so far from the human world, and if Chu Tianshu hadn't set up an unparalleled formation outside the ancient star Yinghuo.

The commotion here has probably already spread throughout the heavens and the earth, becoming known to the entire world.

In the blink of an eye, the phoenix flapped its wings, seemingly traversing endless time and space.

Unfortunately, all of this was in vain. No matter how the Undying Emperor dodged or used various methods, he could not affect that peerless sword light.

It seems that this sword light does not belong to this ancient history, and people of this era cannot influence the past or the future no matter what means they use.

"Wow!"

Accompanied by a series of shrill screams, the sword light slashed fiercely at the body of the Undying Emperor.

The expected spectacle of phoenix blood scattering and broken wings did not occur.

However, if he wished, the Immortal Emperor would rather suffer physical injury.

Because Chu Tianshu's sword strike was not aimed at the physical body, but directly at the profound and mysterious Dao Fruit of cultivators.

With a single sword strike, a significant portion of the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit was severed, almost completely eradicating his entire lifetime of cultivation.

"Taiyi, what kind of technique is this?!"

The Undying Emperor's body fell from the void, holding the Undying Heavenly Blade in one hand, and stood as a pillar on the path to immortality, his aura greatly diminished.

Although there were no visible injuries, the Undying Emperor could clearly sense that a significant portion of his Dao Fruit was missing.

What shocked him most was that Chu Tianshu's sword not only damaged his Dao Fruit, but also severed the damaged part of his understanding.

In other words, that part of the path to enlightenment has been permanently lost.

Even if the Immortal Emperor later repaired the Dao Fruit, it would be completely different from before.

"How did Taiyi comprehend such a bizarre attack?"

The Undying Emperor's eyes were filled with fear. If Chu Tianshu were to strike him a few more times, his millions of years of hard work would be in vain, and he would be reduced to a phoenix with no cultivation.

On the other side, Chu Tianshu did not rush to make a move after shattering the Undying Emperor's blade light with a punch.

From the moment he blocked the Immortal Emperor, his defeat was inevitable.

Unless he blasts open the strange world and escapes the moment he sees Chu Tianshu, he will be absolutely certain to suffer any consequences after taking a single sword strike. "Undying Emperor, that sword strike just now didn't taste good, did it?"

"I have been preparing for this sword strike for a full 100,000 years."

"I thought you would take advantage of my old age to make your move, but I didn't expect you to be so cautious."

Chu Tianshu looked at the Undying Emperor whose aura had plummeted and muttered to himself.

This sword strike was naturally the next move Chu Tianshu used in his later years to kill sixteen ancient emperors—the Severing of the Dao and Destroying the Fruit.

The previous move, "Severing the Dao and Destroying Fortune," was mainly aimed at those supreme beings in forbidden zones whose Dao fruits were incomplete.

For those beings who have achieved perfect enlightenment, the effect is not ideal.

The greatest source of Chu Tianshu's confidence in catching the Emperor alive in his first life was precisely this move, Severing the Dao and Destroying the Fruit.

It can truly sever a cultivator's Dao Fruit. Even a flawless being of the Imperial Dao will experience a sharp drop in cultivation if struck by its sword.

Back when Chu Tianshu was in his first life, the gap between him and the Undying Emperor and the Emperor was too great. If he hadn't resorted to some underhanded tactics, he might have ended up with a tragic end.

After much thought, the only options are to increase or decrease the power of the amplified power.

The increase is self-evident, but in the extreme realm, the effect is negligible, as everyone's methods are quite similar.

Therefore, Chu Tianshu focused his attention on weakening the enemy.

Those incomplete forbidden zone supreme beings undoubtedly gave him a good idea. Since they could cut themselves in half and fall from the extreme realm, there was no reason why Chu Tianshu, who had mastered the way of killing, couldn't.

Of course, the initial Dao-Severing and Fruit-Destroying techniques were far less powerful, and it was also difficult to lock onto the flawless Dao Fruit of an Extreme Dao Supreme, unless he stood there motionless and let you cut him.

At first, Chu Tianshu only wanted to take advantage of the Undying Emperor's sneak attack to do the opposite and strike him hard when he was off guard.

Anyone struck by this sword will have their Undying Emperor Dao Fruit damaged, and their strength will plummet by more than one level on the spot.

Then, if Chu Tianshu were to use his full strength to strike down the severely weakened Undying Emperor, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

As a result, the scruffy bird, fearing exposure, did not make a move.

Chu Tianshu naturally wouldn't expose his ultimate move for the sake of some weakened supreme beings, lest others find a way to counter it.

After living a second life, Chu Tianshu's strength greatly increased. At that time, with his cultivation comparable to the three Heavenly Emperors, he was not afraid of the Undying Emperor.

But he did not give up this unique skill. Instead, he kept innovating and incorporated all his insights into the Great Dao into it.

Especially when Chu Tianshu lived out his third life with the Chaotic Body, he gradually began to master the Great Dao of Time.

The reason why the Undying Emperor couldn't affect that attack was because Chu Tianshu had incorporated the Great Dao of Time into it, and was not in this world.

Instead, it constantly leaps between the past and the future, only returning to the present world when it truly defeats the immortal emperor.

Unfortunately, the immortal emperor at that time had no time to react, which led to such a result.

Of course, this sword strike can also be said to be the result of Chu Tianshu's continuous iterations over three generations over 100,000 years.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"So you already knew of my existence. No wonder you attacked the Path to Immortality back then."

"It must be precisely to slip away from the limelight and move from the public eye to the background!"

The Immortal Emperor was pale and coughed violently several times, coughing up a clump of shimmering, five-colored essence blood. He was extremely weak.

Having just been struck by Chu Tianshu's sword, his Dao Fruit was incomplete, almost completely wiping out his lifetime of arduous cultivation. At the same time, the incomplete Dao Fruit also caused the Undying Emperor's strength to plummet.

At this point, he was probably far inferior to Fuxi, and his strength was only slightly better than those supreme beings of the ultimate realm.

"Are you finished?"

"Having said all that, I will send you on your way."

Chu Tianshu remained indifferent; he didn't actually harbor much malice towards the Undying Emperor.

His methods may not be exactly honorable, but he didn't deliberately target any of the myriad beings in the world, making him fundamentally different from those supreme beings in forbidden zones.

If it weren't for the fact that his path to immortality in the mortal world was destined to clash with Chu Tianshu, he wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention to the Undying Emperor.

The only one to blame is that the Undying Emperor was outmatched and blocked on his path to immortality by Chu Tianshu, leaving him with no way to advance or retreat.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Wait!"

"Taiyi, don't you want to know about the Immortal Realm?"

"I am from the Celestial Realm..."

Unfortunately, before the Undying Emperor could finish speaking, a dazzling sword light completely engulfed him, utterly destroying his Immortal Platform, Primordial Spirit, and Dao Fruit.

The Immortal Emperor, the supreme deity revered by all races in the human realm and one of the greatest schemers of all time, has fallen completely today.

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to sense it, and a light rain of blood fell from the void, staining the path to immortality crimson, accompanied by faint cries of ghosts and gods, and the mournful sounds of countless paths.

"The Immortal Realm?"

"I can't trust you!"

Chu Tianshu looked at the enormous phoenix corpse lying across the path to immortality and muttered to himself.

He naturally knew that the Undying Emperor came from the Immortal Realm, but as Chu Tianshu himself said, he did not believe in the Undying Emperor.

The worst thing about intelligence is that it's nine parts true and one part false, and since he had never been to the Immortal Realm, he had no way of judging the truth or falsehood of the Undying Emperor's words.
