The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 131 Metamorphosis and the Endless Stream of New Emperors (10K10K)

At the same time, Chu Tianshu's mind was also swallowed up by the endless darkness.

Before new life is born from the chaotic cocoon of light, Chu Tianshu's mind will remain dormant.

He was completely corrupted, just like the God Emperor of the past, until he successfully transformed.

However, the risks involved are also enormous.

Unlike his later years in his first life, which could also be considered a death, he did not remain in a state of deathly stillness for long.

After Chu Tianshu had completed the unification of the Yin-Yang Dao and evolved into chaos, he awoke from the dead silence.

His physical body still retained a trace of life, so the process of promoting the evolution of the Overlord Body was very smooth, and he encountered almost no obstacles.

Even in his later years when he evolved into chaos, Chu Tianshu still retained a trace of life force and gradually completed the transformation of his physical body.

This time was different. In order to completely eliminate the chaotic body, Chu Tianshu not only extracted the Great Dao Laws from his flesh and blood, but also completely melted his physical body and personally severed the last trace of life.

It bears no mark, no special characteristics, and is completely stripped of all supernatural elements.

They were completely fused together, transformed into a divine essence, and it is hoped that they will give birth to new life.

While this approach is thorough, it also makes the transformation process exceptionally long.

Chu Tianshu didn't know when that ball of divine essence would be able to generate new life.

Everything requires waiting!
During this process, all Chu Tianshu could do was to guard in the darkness, protecting his mind from being completely devoured.

During this process, he also needs to keep his mind clear as much as possible, otherwise he may easily miss the process of the divine essence giving birth to life.

If he misses the opportunity and lets that divine essence develop on its own, then the "mortal body" he envisioned may not be born.

Even if they manage to live to the next life, they may not achieve the results Chu Tianshu expected.

There is even a chance that they will perish completely and remain forever in darkness.

After all, Zhang Mazi once said that the most important thing for someone who wants to become a county magistrate is to be patient!
……

The human realm.

Since the Dao Yan Emperor attained enlightenment, he has not caused any significant disturbance in the universe.

Like the previous ones, this human emperor was not particularly interested in ruling the world.

He rarely even returned to the Eternal Starfield.

Dao Yan devoted almost all his time to the ancient stars of the Big Dipper or Tianji, trying to find the legendary Taiyi Emperor and seek his advice on the future.

Unfortunately, more than 10,000 years have passed, and this new emperor of the human race has never been able to achieve his wish.

Fortunately, during his search for the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, he had some opportunities and luckily found an elixir of immortality.

Ten thousand years after attaining enlightenment, Dao Yan was reborn in a second life with the help of the elixir of immortality.

Having lived a second life, Dao Yan no longer focused his attention on searching for the whereabouts of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor.

After so many years of searching, Dao Yan vaguely understood that whether it was the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor, the Fuxi Emperor, or the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable and the Emperor Venerable, they must have lived more than one lifetime. Therefore, the source of their power was hidden in their transformation.

After that, Daoyan simply focused all his energy on the transformation in his second life.

As fellow seekers of enlightenment, Dao Yan was confident that he was by no means inferior to others throughout his life.

Unfortunately, the difficulty of self-transformation far exceeded Dao Yan's imagination. Even in his later years in his second life, Dao Yan still failed to develop a new method of transformation.

"Hey!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is a genius; I am no match for him!"

On his deathbed, Daoyan suddenly realized his mistake, let out a long sigh, and then quietly passed away.

Emperor Daoyan, the fourth human emperor of the ancient era, failed to continue the glory of his predecessors and successfully embark on the path of transformation, passing away after living for 20,000 years.

With the collapse of the Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens, and the mournful cries of all paths, this new emperor of the human race passed away completely.

The entire human realm was thrown into an uproar because the Dao Yan Emperor's lifespan was "too short."

Among the three previous human emperors, the Taiyi Emperor needs no introduction. Since attaining enlightenment, he has remained in the world without ever passing away. Tens of thousands of years ago, he even confronted the legendary Lord of Heaven on his path to immortality.

As for Fuxi, who came after, there's not much to say. He lived for four generations, and also for a considerable period of time.

Even the shortest-lived Nuwa Emperor lived in the human world for over 30,000 years before passing away.

However, it is widely speculated that the Great Goddess Nuwa, like the Great God Fuxi, may still be alive in the human world.

Dao Yan, the Great Emperor of the Human Race, only lived for 20,000 years before passing away, which naturally made all living beings in the universe feel incredible.

However, some speculate that Emperor Daoyan did not die, and may have followed a special path like his predecessors.

Regardless of what people speculate about, after the Dao Yan Emperor passed away, the suppression of the Great Dao truly descended.

The Great Dao's suppression has returned, and all races in the world have fallen silent, sealing away their prodigies to await the struggle for the throne ten thousand years later.

……

In the desolate and dim cosmos, nine enormous dragon corpses dragged a massive bronze coffin, constantly traversing various ancient life-bearing planets. A sage once caught a glimpse of them and attempted to pursue them, but all his efforts were in vain.

If one could penetrate deep into the bronze coffin, one would surely see a hazy cocoon of light pulsating in a corner inside the coffin.

On the surface of the cocoon of light, various Dao runes flowed, and streams of chaotic energy descended, seemingly to suppress the heavens.

Through the cocoon of light, one can see a cluster of brilliant divine essence rising and falling within, filled with divine radiance and extraordinary splendor. In the darkness, the voice of the Great Dao can be heard, as if it is nurturing a great and sacred being.

The only pity is that although this divine essence is extraordinary, it seems to be lifeless and resembles an inanimate object.

All that had happened before seemed like an illusion.

Everything still needs to wait; only after going through countless hardships can it shine with its most brilliant light!

……

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years have passed.

With the end of the Great Dao suppression by the Dao Emperor, the entire human realm once again ushered in a new era.

Eagles soar in the sky, fish swim in the shallows, and all creatures compete freely under the frosty sky!
Whether it's the human race or the various ancient races, they all awaken the geniuses who have been dormant for a long time, vying for the position of the Great Emperor in this era.

Needless to say, the human race has been the only ones to attain enlightenment in the past two hundred thousand years since the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment. Naturally, they want to continue this glorious legacy.

The ancient clans were not to be outdone, because since the passing of the Fighting Saint Emperor, no new emperor had been born among the ancient clans for more than 300,000 years, and they were naturally unwilling to accept this.

Countless prodigies emerged from various star regions, where they met and fought on ancient roads, their blood and tears staining the entire starry sky.

For five thousand years, the battles before the final imperial pass never ceased.

Neither the human race nor the ancient races have produced an overwhelming genius who can sweep away all enemies and trigger the tribulation of attaining enlightenment.

The struggle for the throne in this generation continues unabated.

boom!
One day, a loud explosion suddenly resounded in the universe, and then a majestic stone figure appeared at the top of the universe. The heavens and earth roared endlessly, as if celebrating his birth.

A perfect and flawless Great Holy Spirit has been successfully born!
In an instant, the news spread throughout the entire human realm.

All the races marveled at this. Although there were many holy spirits born in the world, most of them could not reach the stage of perfect birth.

The appearance of a perfect Holy Spirit is truly astonishing.

But soon, this perfect stone saint rushed into the ultimate imperial pass and went on a killing spree. Whether they were human prodigies or ancient prodigies, they were all treated equally and slaughtered to death.

Even those peerless experts who were on the verge of achieving enlightenment were no match for this stone statue.

This stone figure is quite special. Although it has not yet reached the ultimate realm, it can already vaguely exert some of the power of the imperial path, which is terrifying.

In an instant, blood stained the ultimate imperial pass, and the pride of all races fell here, perishing in the hands of the stone men.

However, the various races did not despair. Throughout ancient history, there were many great saints who were born, but how many of them were able to truly reach the ultimate realm?

Although the Holy Spirits are uniquely blessed and their perfect birth is almost comparable to the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Overlord Body, at the same time, the constraints of the Imperial Way are equally powerful.

Although unlike the Holy Body or the Overlord Body, which require obtaining the power of a flawless Great Emperor before attaining the Dao in order to have any hope of passing the Dao Tribulation, the difficulty is still far beyond that of ordinary physiques.

Throughout history, those holy spirits who have been able to prove the truth are among the most powerful of all those who have proven the truth.

Although this stone figure has shown remarkable talent, it does not mean that it can break through the shackles of the imperial way.

Over the next three thousand years, events unfolded almost exactly as they had predicted. Although the stone man resided high in the heavens, he was never able to take the final step and successfully attain enlightenment.

The prodigies of all races also fell silent, no longer attempting to challenge the stone men at the ultimate imperial pass.

They planned to avoid the Stone Man's lifetime and then compete for the throne again.

Unfortunately, their hopes were soon dashed. On a stormy night, the stone figure high in the heavens finally saw through everything and successfully passed the tribulation of enlightenment.

A terrifying imperial might descended from the heavens, instantly sweeping across the entire universe and overwhelming the human realm.

"I, the Stone Emperor, attain enlightenment today!"

With a majestic voice resounding in the hearts of all beings, the struggle for the imperial throne, which had lasted for more than eight thousand years, finally came to an end.

In this battle for the throne, neither the human race nor the various ancient races were able to subdue the other and achieve final victory.

Instead, a naturally formed stone figure swept across the nine heavens and ten earths, forcefully proving its Dao.

However, this matter is not unacceptable to the various ancient clans.

After all, having the stone man prove his Dao is far better than the human race producing another Great Emperor.

boom!
Just then, a golden road descended from the heavens, stretching straight into the depths of the cosmos.

The Stone Emperor's procession caused such a grand spectacle that it instantly attracted the attention of the world.

"That, that place..."

"It's the ancient star Tianji!"

"Could it be that the Stone Emperor is going to visit the Supreme Heavenly Emperor?"
