The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 173 The Great Tribulation of the Immortal King
The dark figure cautiously approached the vicinity of the Imperial Pass, concealing its aura to avoid attracting attention from either side.

After all, whether it's the alien realm or the ancient primordial world, the opponents are all giants among the Immortal Kings. If he were discovered, his current small body would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, he was lucky. The two kings were locked in a standoff and did not pay attention to him. Seeing this, Dark Body couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, I haven't let you down. Whether you can return to the Primordial Ancient Realm depends on your own destiny!"

Darkness silently chanted in his mind, and then a faint light floated out from his body, flying silently towards the Imperial Pass.

At the same time, the dark figure gradually faded and disappeared into the vast fog.

On the other side, in order to avoid being discovered by the alien giant, Chu Tianshu also completely calmed his mind and did not reveal the slightest fluctuation.

Fortunately, this time there were no unexpected events, and he successfully overcame numerous obstacles to return to the original ancient world.

Before long, the faint light transformed into a resolute-looking young man, his body radiating Daoist energy and emanating celestial light that illuminated the entire universe. Between his brows, he exuded an unparalleled aura that transcended and suppressed everything.

Chu Tianshu turned his head, and in the blink of his eyes, there were reflections of all the heavens and myriad worlds, as well as the mysteries of the changing world and the evolution of all laws.

He looked at the foreign land shrouded in mist, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Before, I was in a foreign land, a caged bird and a fish in a net. This journey will be like a roc soaring in the sky and a dragon returning to the sea, no longer bound by any constraints!"

At this moment, Chu Tianshu felt an overwhelming surge of pride. After overcoming countless hardships, he had finally broken free from his confinement.

"As long as I survive the Celestial King Tribulation, I can go wherever I want, no matter what other realms or immortal domains they are. Who can stop me in the slightest?"

"Today, I shall attain the Dao and become an Immortal King!"

Chu Tianshu murmured, and then his voice grew louder and louder, gradually resounding throughout the heavens.

Not only in the Primordial Ancient Realm, but also in the Other Realms, Immortal Realms, Burial Grounds, and other Great Realms, his murmurs could be heard. Even from the other side of the Boundary Sea, his Daoist voice echoed.

boom!
The next moment, an unparalleled aura suddenly erupted, instantly sweeping across all realms and stirring up the long river of time.

Chu Tianshu stood atop the heavens, hands behind his back, his long black hair flowing freely, exuding an aura of eternal immortality, towering above all the heavens.

Within his body, the five great secret realms resounded incessantly, with countless wondrous techniques operating and intertwining within them, demonstrating the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

One ray of light after another burst forth from his body, and boundless immortal light illuminated the world, revealing the gateway to his human potential.

At this moment, they roared and bloomed together, fully unleashing the potential of their physical bodies.

At this moment, Chu Tianshu held nothing back. He unleashed his full power, determined to break through all obstacles, to achieve glory at the pinnacle of immortality, and to become a Daoist King!

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and he has finally reached this point. From this day forward, no matter what other realms or immortal realms, no matter what burial grounds or seas, only a handful of people will be worthy of his attention. He will roam the heavens and look down upon all ages.

Rumble!
Within Chu Tianshu's body, a terrifying roar resounded, causing the five secret realms to tremble violently, and all the potential gates were opened.

He is breaking through a barrier, his physical body is undergoing a transformation, he is advancing towards the realm of the Immortal King, and is about to transform into an unparalleled Immortal King.

At the same time, the commotion caused by Chu Tianshu's breakthrough reverberated throughout the heavens, and the first place to discover it was the dilapidated ancient realm.

One day, endless celestial light burst forth, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and awakening all the creatures in this devastated ancient world.

No matter where you are in the ancient world, in any corner, as long as you look up, you can see a majestic and imposing figure.

He stood atop the heavens, seemingly transformed into the Tao and reason, causing the heavens and earth to dim, and all the heavens revolved around him.

"Heavens, heavens, does our ancient realm still have such an unparalleled powerhouse? I feel my whole body trembling, as if I are facing an emperor!" A celestial being gazed at the immortal figure in the heavens and murmured in a dreamlike voice.

"He, he is the Taiyi Quasi-Immortal King, how is that possible? It is said that he perished in the siege of the Three Kings in the alien realm 420,000 years ago!" A creature recognized the figure's origin and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's right, it's the Taiyi Quasi-Immortal King. I witnessed him killing many Quasi-Immortal Kings from other realms when I was in the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea. I'm sure it's him!"

Before long, another person confirmed the origin of the figure at the top of the sky, and the entire ancient world was invigorated.

Since the war between the Primordial Ancient Realm and the Otherworld began, most of what people have heard is bad news: either this Immortal King has fallen or that Immortal King has been severely injured.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and most of the kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm have died. Even those who are still alive have lost their fighting power and are no longer able to fight.

In the entire desolate land, only the Immortal King Wuzhong, the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui, and the Stone King remain. Even the Immortal King giant, the True Dragon King, has perished. The Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit has repeatedly stormed into the alien realm's main camp, only to be surrounded and severely injured by the alien realm's kings. At this moment, it is unknown where he is undergoing Nirvana.

At this moment, a new king is about to be born, how could the beings of the ancient world not be excited?

"Ok?"

"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this person who does not belong to this world has finally recovered from his injuries and reached this point?" At the border imperial pass, a hazy figure was awakened by the commotion.

However, the voice sounded weary and weak, clearly indicating that it was nearing its end. "I thought he had perished completely, but I never expected him to return," echoed the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King beside him.

After all, they had witnessed the battlefield firsthand. The fact that Taiyi, with his quasi-immortal king body, had withstood three immortal kings for several days was enough to shock them.

Even the Immortal King Wuzhong, who had the most faith in him, believed that it was unlikely that he would be able to return.

But hundreds of thousands of years later, Taiyi not only fully recovered from his injuries, but also made further progress and is about to break through to the Immortal King realm.

"Ugh!"

"When I see Taiyi, I am reminded of Leidi. He was just as talented and had the potential to become a supreme giant. Unfortunately, he was always unlucky and perished under the siege of the foreign land."

"If he can survive the siege from the alien realm, he should be able to break through to the Immortal King realm!"

Thinking of the Thunder Emperor, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King couldn't help but sigh. Even with the precedent of Chu Tianshu, he still couldn't protect this prodigy.

If the Thunder Emperor can grow stronger, their pressure might be significantly reduced.

Meanwhile, Chu Tianshu's breakthrough to the Immortal King realm was becoming increasingly significant, but it was eventually uncovered by the alien forces.

"Humph!"

"I never imagined that after hundreds of thousands of years, he would not perish but instead advance even further!" In a mountain range somewhere in another realm, a majestic king figure was enraged upon sensing the aura of the Immortal King Tribulation.

The vast energy engulfed the sky and shattered endless mountains and rivers.

The person who made the sound was naturally Xuan Shang, one of the three kings who had surrounded and killed Chu Tianshu.

I originally thought that sending three immortal kings to besiege and kill a quasi-immortal king was a complete waste of my talents.

But unexpectedly, this trip resulted in a double loss. Not only did they fail to kill this human prodigy, but he also lost his Dao Fruit and almost fell from the King Realm.

After hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, he still hasn't recovered much. It will probably take half an era or even longer to return to his former peak.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. This human prodigy not only did not perish, but is doing better and better, with hope of further advancement. How could Xuan Shang accept this?

Soon, Xuan Shang joined forces with two other victims to launch a Taiyi threat theory to the kings of the alien realm, emphasizing Taiyi's Dao-Slaying Sword Technique, hoping that the giants of the alien realm would take action and kill him before he could break through to the Immortal King realm.

The Taiyi threat theory quickly caused a huge uproar among the kings of the alien realm. Putting everything else aside, the fact that Chu Tianshu managed to withstand the siege of three kings and escape after several days of bloody battle was enough to make the alien realm take him seriously.

"This Taiyi must be eliminated. If he breaks through to the next realm, it will cause considerable trouble!" In a certain hall in the alien realm, a blurry figure spoke, his voice resolute and without the slightest hesitation.

"I agree. We've finally brought the Ancient Realm to its last breath, we can't let them have even the slightest chance to catch their breath!" Another immortal giant chimed in, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

"Such an awesome genius will not be allowed to exist in the myriad realms!" Another immortal giant made the decision.

Chu Tianshu's progress was too rapid. Back in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea, he hadn't even reached the peak of the Quasi-Immortal King realm. In just a few hundred thousand years, he was about to break through to the Immortal King realm.

If we allow him to continue growing, he will inevitably disrupt our plans in the alien realm.

Before long, the immortal giants from the alien realm unanimously decided to destroy King Chu Tianshu.

Boom boom boom!
In the desolate borderlands, one terrifying aura after another swept in, engulfing the heavens and shaking the world.

Seven or eight colossal figures appeared in the desolate borderlands, their power shaking the ages and even stirring up towering waves in the long river of time.

The next moment, a large, white hand, as white as jade, rose up and slammed down on the figure at the top of the sky.

In an instant, the giant hand grew longer against the wind, almost encompassing the entire primordial ancient world, intending to destroy all the heavens!
"This...this, an immortal giant has made a move, preparing to kill the Taiyi Quasi-Immortal King?"

At the borderland imperial pass, immortal beings gazed at the sky and were utterly shocked to see the attack of the immortal giant.

The commotion caused by the giants was so immense that it not only affected the Primordial Ancient Realm and the Otherworld, but also sent a message to the Immortal Realm.

In an instant, the world was shocked and the ten directions were shaken, with countless experts turning their attention to the Primordial Ancient Realm.

"How dare you! Do you think there's no one in our realm who can stand up to you?"

Just then, a loud shout rose from the Imperial Pass, followed by an unparalleled aura that repelled the giant hand.

The next moment, two imposing figures appeared in the sky above the Imperial Pass, confronting the foreign kings.

"Hehehe..."

"Wu Zhong and Liu Dao, do you think you can stop us with just the two of you?"
