The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 132 A mere ant dares to challenge the might of Heaven! Let Taiyi come! (3K10K)

The Stone Emperor did not conceal his inspection tour, and soon the news spread throughout the entire human realm.

The world was not surprised, after all, Fuxi, Nuwa and Daoyan had all visited the Chu family after they attained enlightenment.

Especially Emperor Daoyan, who would run to Tianji Ancient Star every few days; now it's just Emperor Shi's turn.

The fact that the Stone Emperor has taken the initiative to visit the Chu family has become a topic of great interest among all living beings, who are once again discussing the legendary deeds of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor.

This human emperor was extraordinary. In the short span of ten thousand years he lived, he made countless immortal contributions to the world and all living beings. He also single-handedly killed more than twenty ancient supreme beings and quelled many sources of turmoil.

He later allegedly entered the immortal realm and became an "immortal".

His two appearances, especially tens of thousands of years ago, brought the world's reverence for him to a new peak.

Even people from various races suggested re-establishing the calendar and designating the year of the birth of the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi as the Heavenly Emperor Calendar.

However, the Chu family rejected the idea, since although their ancestor was still alive, he had not appeared in the Chu family for a long time and it was not appropriate to be too ostentatious.

It was another sunny day, and the ancient star Tianji remained peaceful.

Since Chu Tianshu attained enlightenment, apart from the dark turmoil during the reign of Fuxi, no one has dared to cause trouble on Tianji Ancient Star.

This is partly due to Chu Tianshu's prestige, and partly due to the Chu family's considerable strength.

With the Hegemon Bloodline and the blessing of the third edition of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, once cultivated to the perfect state, one can unleash the power of a flawless ancient emperor.

However, although the Chu family is powerful, they are not arrogant. Instead, they have a dignified yet gentle demeanor, which is no less than that of a king.

However, some people today mistake this gentleness for weakness and believe that it is permissible to bully others at will.

boom!
With a resounding roar, a golden road descended from the depths of the universe, directly blocking the entrance to the Chu family's mountain gate.

The overwhelming imperial might of the Supreme Dao filled the universe, seemingly poised to turn the world upside down, displaying extreme impoliteness.

"I have heard that the Heavenly Emperor once invaded the Immortal Realm, so I have come to seek his guidance."

A defiant voice came from the heavens, instantly spreading throughout the human realm and shaking all races.

"Wha, what?"

"Does the Stone Emperor want to challenge the Supreme Heavenly Emperor?"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"Does this stone figure truly believe itself to be invincible? It should be known that there are differences even among those who have attained enlightenment."

In an instant, the entire human realm was in an uproar, and everyone could hardly believe it.

This stone man, who had only recently attained enlightenment, dared to challenge the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor, who had been enlightened for nearly two hundred thousand years?

"Quickly, quickly activate the clan's ancestral artifact. I want to behold the majestic countenance of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

"This is a momentous event that has occurred throughout history; we cannot afford to miss it!"

The thought that the Supreme Heavenly Emperor might reappear in the mortal world excited all the ancient clans, who then summoned their ancestral artifacts and searched for the location of the Tianji Ancient Star.

……

Rumble!
The overwhelming aura of imperial power pressed down on the universe, shattering the tranquility of the ancient star Tianji.

Before long, a towering stone figure emerged from the sea of ​​stars, carrying a black and gold halberd with dragon patterns, exuding an extremely terrifying aura, and descended upon the ancient star Tianji.

The Stone Emperor opened and closed his eyes, quickly discerning the ancient star Tianji beneath his feet, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"So, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor wasn't on Tianji Ancient Star after all?"

Shi Huang murmured to himself, not sensing any aura unique to those who had attained enlightenment on the ancient star Tianji.

Clearly, the human emperor had not returned to Tianji Ancient Star for a long time.

But what if the Supreme Heavenly Emperor is still alive?
The Stone Emperor was confident that he was invincible and would not be inferior to any other enlightened being.

Just then, a man in green robes walked out of the Chu family and came to Shi Huang's side.

"Chu Fengyuan of the Chu family greets His Majesty the Stone Emperor!"

The man in blue robes appeared to be around forty years old. His face was dignified yet refined, and he possessed an extraordinary bearing. There was also a hint of quasi-emperor aura flowing between him.

"Ok?"

"The Chu family only sent you, a quasi-emperor, to greet us?"

"Where are the fully-developed Hegemons of your clan?"

Shi Huang looked displeased. In his view, his presence as a dignified emperor was a great honor for the Chu family, a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor.

The Chu family only sent a quasi-emperor to greet him, which showed they didn't take him seriously at all.

The next moment, a vast imperial might emanated, pressing down on the man in blue opposite them.

In an instant, Chu Fengyuan felt a fatal crisis surge into his heart. Even though he was already a quasi-emperor, he was still like an ant in front of this vast imperial might.

But he felt no fear, and his expression remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"Your Majesty the Stone Emperor, most of the ancestors are in slumber and it is not convenient for them to emerge into the world."

Over the years, the Chu family has naturally produced some members with great bodies, but most of the time they have sealed themselves in the divine source and ignored worldly affairs.

"Humph!"

"The Chu family has such great power; they actually dare to despise the emperor of this era!"

With a cold snort from the Stone Emperor, Chu Fengyuan felt his mind and body suffer a severe blow, his physical body almost bursting apart, and a trace of purple quasi-emperor blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the once bright Tianji Ancient Star dimmed completely, and a terrifying imperial aura filled the sky, with wisps of destructive energy hanging down, as if it would completely destroy the Tianji Ancient Star.

In an instant, this scene was immediately understood by all the major races, and they were shocked.

"hiss!"

"Judging from this, it seems this Stone Emperor has come with ill intentions!" "No way, could it be that the Stone Emperor has lost his mind, daring to provoke the Supreme Heavenly Emperor?"

“That’s right. Even if the Supreme Heavenly Emperor is not here, the Chu family still has the Great Completion Hegemon Body, which cannot be easily insulted by a mere emperor.”

At this moment, the tense scene in the void of the ancient star Tianji shocked all the ancient races.

The world could hardly believe that this new emperor was so bold as to directly threaten the Chu family.

It should be noted that the Chu family is not an ordinary imperial family; their bloodline contains not only the Hegemon Body bloodline but also a portion of the Heavenly Emperor bloodline.

Even an ordinary Great Completion Body could exchange a few blows with a Dao Proving Person, let alone the Great Completion Body of the Chu family.
More than 100,000 years ago, during the dark turmoil, the three Great Masters of the Chu family demonstrated their terrifying power to the world.

The three fully-developed Overlords killed two Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones and assisted Emperor Fuxi in killing many more Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, achieving remarkable feats.

Such combat power is something even a true Daoist must take seriously.

But no matter what people speculated, the Stone Emperor did it anyway, and his attitude was extremely firm.

……

Tianji Ancient Star.

Did Emperor Shi know about the Chu family's deeds? Of course he did.

Since his birth, he has heard the most stories about the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi and the Chu family, and knows the strength of the Chu family.

But as a holy spirit who has attained enlightenment, the Stone Emperor is confident that he is invincible. Even if the Supreme Heavenly Emperor appears, he will only know who is stronger after fighting him.

Moreover, the Chu family was someone he specifically chose to establish his authority. In Shi Huang's view, the world now only knows Taiyi Tiandi but not the current emperor, which is simply putting the cart before the horse.

If we don't suppress the arrogance of the Chu family, how can we gain the trust of the world and rule over all living beings?
The stronger the Chu family is, the better the effect of his establishment of authority will be. It would be best if he could force the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor out and defeat him personally, so that the world could witness the supreme power of the Stone Emperor.

As for the thought of being outmatched, it never arose in Shi Huang's mind.

As a contemporary enlightened being, with the blessing of the Heavenly Heart Mark, the Stone Emperor did not believe that anyone could be his opponent.

Even a true immortal would not be a match for the Stone Emperor at this moment.

"Hahaha!"

"Fellow Daoist Shi Huang, your presence is an honor to our Chu family."

"Our Chu family was at fault in this matter, and we hope that Fellow Daoist Shi Huang will forgive us!"

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from the Chu family ancestral land below, shrouded in divine light, and immediately dispelled the imperial majesty that had enveloped the Tianji Ancient Star.

Golden rays of light descended from the sky, illuminating the mountains and lakes once more.

An old man in purple robes stood in the void and cupped his hands in greeting toward the towering Stone Emperor.

"I am Chu Shanhe, and I greet Fellow Daoist Shi Huang!"

The old man in purple had a gentle face, revealing no aura whatsoever, appearing as an ordinary old man, completely unremarkable.

"Humph!"

"How dare a mere ant who has not yet attained enlightenment call me, the Emperor, a fellow Daoist!"

Stone Emperor's eyes were cold, and he looked at the purple-robed elder with a mocking expression.

Normally, if a fully-developed body cultivator addressed him as "fellow Daoist," he wouldn't mind too much and could accept it.

But not now. This is a battle to establish his authority after he has attained enlightenment. He must appear extremely powerful and not tolerate the slightest offense.

He knew that people were all cowards who feared power but lacked virtue, and that if he acted too kindly, they would take advantage of him.

Therefore, he had to use swift and decisive measures to destroy the prestige of the Chu family, without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh?"

"What instructions does His Majesty the Stone Emperor have?"

Chu Shanhe's smile vanished, and his expression turned cold.

This is the first time since his birth that someone has dared not give the Chu family the slightest face.

Although he was facing the emperor of the world, Chu Shanhe felt no fear.

He had already cultivated the Overlord Body to perfection, and with the third edition of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture passed down by Chu Tianshu, he was confident that his strength was no less than that of any royal being.

If the constraints of the third edition of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture were not too powerful, how could it have been the mere Stone Emperor who had to attain enlightenment?
"It's easy!"

"I have heard that the Supreme Heavenly Emperor has already become an immortal, so I have come here to take a look at this scripture!"

A cold glint appeared in the Stone Emperor's eyes; borrowing the Heavenly Emperor Scripture was merely a pretext.

His true intention was to force the Chu family to take action, so that he could then use his imperial authority to wipe out the Chu family and establish unparalleled prestige.

If he were to directly attack the Chu family, it would make him, as an emperor, appear petty.

"Is Shi Huang joking with the Chu family again?"

Chu Shanhe said coldly, with a terrifying aura about to burst forth, threatening to destroy heaven and earth.

"What, do you dare to challenge the imperial authority?"

A smile flashed in Shi Huang's eyes, completely unconcerned about Chu Shanhe's attitude.

"Right on my mind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, boundless power erupted from Chu Shanhe, instantly shaking the heavens and the world.

"You insignificant ants, how dare you defy the might of Heaven!"

"Let Taiyi come!"
