The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 141 Taiyi, you didn't want this either... (Please subscribe)
Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Because of the Emperor, Duan De did not rush to erase his memories in this life.

Instead, they stayed on the ancient star Tianji, silently waiting for the Emperor to make a move.

During this period, Chu Tianshu and Duan De would occasionally discuss philosophy with each other, and they both gained a lot from the discussion.

After all, Duan De was no ordinary person. After attaining enlightenment in the mythological era, he has lived in the world ever since, and has returned against all odds to prove himself again.

Even if he progresses slowly on the path to immortality in the mortal world, it doesn't mean that his understanding of the Great Dao is weak.

His path was also of great reference value to Chu Tianshu, and was extremely helpful in his deduction of the path of the Immortal Empress of the Mortal World.

Moreover, Duan De has lived in reverse since ancient times, so even if his memories are incomplete, he still knows a lot of secrets.

At least Chu Tianshu learned about the laws before the mythological era from Duan De.

That kind of law is called the law of this world. It is the law of a very ancient era. At that time, the human world was called the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Although it was also somewhat damaged, the environment was much better than it is now.

However, because a great purge that affected all the heavens and myriad realms and lasted for several eras broke out in that era, it was later referred to as the Chaotic Ancient Era.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths only declined completely after the great war at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era, which settled everything, and became what it is today.

Legend has it that before the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were incredibly glorious, and there were many who attained immortality. There were even more than one Immortal King, making it not much inferior to the Immortal Realm.

That era was also known as the Immortal Ancient Era. However, at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also fought a decisive battle with a certain nemesis and were ultimately defeated. Even the Immortal Kings were mostly killed.

The law that Chu Tianshu obtained from the Undying Emperor was the law of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Ancient Era, also known as the Immortal Ancient Law.

The laws of this world are merely a new kind of law that people in this world have re-derived based on the laws of the ancient times after the great war at the end of the Immortal Era, when the world was incomplete.

These secrets also made Chu Tianshu aware of the world's magnificence. Immortality is not the end of the path of cultivation. At least above immortals, there are beings like immortal kings who are comparable to a great world.

As for whether there are realms above Immortal King, Chu Tianshu felt that there was a high probability that there were.

If there are emperors in the human realm, there's no reason why there shouldn't be emperors in the immortal realm.

However, that level of attainment is still too far from Chu Tianshu's current level, so it will not be considered for the time being.

The only pity is that whenever Chu Tianshu asks about the specific people or events that happened in the Chaotic Ancient and Immortal Ancient eras, Duan De's primordial spirit becomes extremely confused and he can't recall anything at all.

On this day, as Chu Tianshu was discussing Dao with the Underworld Lord as usual, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura spreading from the path to immortality.

This aura was terrifying beyond compare, so terrifying that it caused all things in heaven and earth to groan under its pressure. The entire human realm trembled violently, almost on the verge of complete collapse.

At the same time, extremely serious disasters broke out in every corner of the universe. The earth was torn apart, the sky was shattered, and gales and tsunamis erupted in almost every source of life, resembling a scene of apocalyptic catastrophe.

For a time, all living beings in the human world were filled with fear, mistakenly believing that the world was about to come to an end.

"What, what should we do? The world is about to be destroyed, where should we go?!"

"Father...Mother..."

"Don't be afraid, child, your mother is here..."

"Supreme Heavenly Emperor, we beg you to open your eyes and see the human realm on the verge of collapse! Your believers faithfully pray to you, hoping that you will save this shattered world."

As its power continued to spread, unprecedented disasters occurred in various places, and even some ancient sages perished.

Endless crimson dyed the human world crimson, and countless tears were shed, engulfing the entire human universe.

The remaining creatures knelt down and bowed repeatedly in the direction of the ancient star Tianji, praying for the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi to quell the chaos.

The scene was so tragic that it surpassed even the dark turmoil of yesteryear.

After all, those supreme beings in forbidden zones could only slaughter one star field at most, while this emperor who was close to becoming an immortal could cover the entire human world with a single move.

He seemed afraid that Chu Tianshu would hide and not come out, so he deliberately used this method to force Chu Tianshu to come out and fight him.

Tianji Ancient Star.

"Fellow Daoist Netherworld Lord, look, they've already issued a challenge!"

On a sacred mountain belonging to the Chu family, Chu Tianshu flicked his finger, and boundless immortal light shot into the heavens, instantly eliminating the great calamity in the world and restoring stability to the human realm.

In an instant, the entire human realm was filled with sounds of gratitude and thanks.

The boundless power of faith transformed into an endless milky-white ocean, surging towards the ancient star Tianji.

“Fellow Daoist Taiyi, it seems that my disciple has completely fallen into depravity. I should not have harbored any illusions.”

Duan De gazed at the crimson human realm, his eyes filled with rage. The Emperor's actions had undoubtedly extinguished the last trace of hesitation in his heart.

Back in the late years of the mythology era, although he sensed that something was amiss with the Emperor, he was only targeting those supreme beings lurking in the forbidden zones of life.

He didn't want to turn against his disciples because of some outsiders, so he left without saying goodbye and quietly departed.

But the Emperor's actions at this moment felt completely unfamiliar to him, and were quite different from the shy boy he remembered.

Before the Immortal Gate.

The Emperor remained indifferent, looking down at the human realm below, and did not continue to make a move.

The moment Chu Tianshu made his move, he had already locked onto his location. As long as he could eliminate this variable, the human realm would still be his.

"Taiyi, let's fight on the path to immortality!"

"You wouldn't want anything to happen to your people, your family and friends, or to all living beings in the world, would you?"

The next moment, an incomparably majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, echoing in the ears of every living being.

"Wha, what?"

"Was the disaster just now caused by His Majesty the Emperor?" "No, I don't believe it. His Majesty is not that kind of person."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, all living beings in the world were in an uproar, their expressions filled with disbelief.

After all, in everyone's understanding, the Emperor has always been a great and righteous being. How could they believe that he would suddenly jump out and try to destroy the world?
"Hmph, how could he not be that kind of person? It is rumored that the Heavenly Court's attack on the Path to Immortality was the Emperor's conspiracy, in order to sacrifice the Venerables and achieve his own goal."

"There are even rumors that the reason why Lingbao Tianzun and Taiyi Tiandi clashed with Dizun was because Dizun wanted to refine the entire human world."

Just then, a passerby who knew the inside story spoke up to refute it, revealing some of the hidden details.

These explosive news stories caused an uproar among all living beings.

……

"Fellow Daoist Underworld Lord, do not be soft-hearted at this critical moment!"

Chu Tianshu gave Duan De a deep look, and then immediately unleashed his supreme power.

In an instant, a dazzling celestial light shone from the ancient star Tianji, piercing through heaven and earth.

This celestial light was so dazzling that it seemed to illuminate all the heavens and myriad realms throughout history, making the entire human world completely bright.

In every starry sea and every corner, one can see the supreme and majestic figure of an emperor, whose stature cannot be described even a fraction of its grandeur.

He emerged from the ancient star Tianji, broke through the path to immortality in one step, and stood before the gate to immortality.

Opposite him stood an equally imposing imperial figure, engaging him in a final confrontation.

A terrifying aura emanated from it, as if it would collapse the heavens and annihilate ancient history.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"

A creature cried out in surprise, wanting to fly onto the path to immortality and fight alongside the Supreme Heavenly Emperor.

But soon, an invisible force locked them in place, unable to move.

Boom!

With a series of deafening sounds, the rift in the starry sky closed completely, leaving only a hazy imperial figure, shrouding the mortal world in endless darkness.

On the path to immortality.

Chu Tianshu gazed indifferently at the Emperor standing before the Immortal Gate.

"Your Majesty, I have now revealed myself. Surely you will not bully the weak and release my junior!"

"Humph!"

"Taiyi, you underestimate me. I wouldn't even deign to take the life of a mere nascent Immortal Body!"

The Emperor snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and a middle-aged man in purple robes fell from the void.

"Your Majesty! Our land has disgraced you!"

Chu Shanhe slowly awoke and found a vast imperial figure standing before him. The familiar aura immediately brought him to his senses, and he looked at Chu Tianshu with a face full of shame.

"Mountains and rivers, return to the human world!"

Chu Tianshu spoke, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"No!"

"Your Majesty, this whole affair started because of me. I want to stay and fight alongside you!"

Chu Shanhe was visibly agitated and refused to leave.

"Clap clap clap!"

Just then, the Emperor, who was standing in front of the Immortal Gate, took the lead in clapping and looked at Chu Tianshu with a smile on his face.

"What a scene of filial piety! But today you are destined to shed your blood across the heavens."

On the other side, Chu Tianshu struck out with his palm, sending Chu Shanhe back to the human realm.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor, why waste words!"

"Since I, the Emperor, have come to accept the challenge today, then only one person can leave this place!"

Although Chu Tianshu spoke calmly, his words revealed boundless confidence, as if everything was under his control.

"Taiyi, today's victor is only me!"

The Emperor showed no weakness. In his view, he had already seen through a part of Chu Tianshu's origins, and this battle would surely end his life.

"It's no use talking more!"

"war!"

Chu Tianshu roared, his entire body bursting forth with unparalleled immortal light, and took the initiative to attack the Emperor.

Boom!

In the instant of the collision, the entire Path to Immortality exploded, and boundless light obscured everything.

Neither the Emperor nor Chu Tianshu held back in this battle; their brilliant light illuminated the dark chaos.

The Great Dao roared, the heavens and earth trembled, and aftershocks of the battle continuously emanated from the point of the two's confrontation, bombarding the human realm, the strange world, and the immortal gate, stirring up vast ripples.
