The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 174 The Immortal Turtle Shell Determines the Opponent

The speaker was shrouded in black light, and just by standing there, a dense dark substance emanated from him, filling the heavens with an ominous aura that seemed to want to drag all living beings into boundless darkness.

Around him, specks of black light drifted, distorting the rules of this world.

"Pu, Pu the Demon King!"

Beneath the Imperial Pass, a creature's pupils constricted sharply as it recognized the figure's origin.

The Demon King Pu's true form is a Pu Demon Tree. He has extremely tenacious vitality and is extremely warlike. He is an immortal giant in the alien realm, and his strength ranks among the top five even among the many powerful kings in the alien realm.

Because his true form is a plant, the Demon King Pu is not afraid of bloody battles and is always at the forefront of every fight against the ancient realm.

This is an extremely terrifying giant among the kings of the alien realm. He has fought bloody battles with giants such as the True Dragon King and the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, but none of them could defeat him.

Boom boom boom!
Just then, six or seven more hazy figures appeared in the black mist, their terrifying aura engulfing the heavens and stirring the long river of time.

Their aura was terrifying and unparalleled; just standing there, they seemed to transform into the most terrifying source of darkness in the world, shocking all living beings in the myriad realms.

With so many immortal giants, plus the numerous immortal kings below, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could destroy all the heavens.

"How...how is this possible? Eight immortal giants? Could it be that the heavens intend to destroy our realm?"

A voice of despair rang out from the ancient beings. The current situation was extremely critical. The alien realm had practically mobilized its entire force to try and disrupt Chu Tianshu's path to becoming king.

At this time, most of the kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm were either dead or crippled. The only ones who could still fight were probably the Endless Immortal King, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and the Stone King. How could they possibly contend with so many immortal kings and giants from the other realm?

In contrast to the anxiety of the ancient, primitive world, the creatures of the other realm were in high spirits.

Because there were just too many immortal giants appearing in this alien realm. Apart from the few giants who frequently appeared, such as the Crimson King and the Demon King Pu, many other giants had not appeared for an era or even longer.

This led them to believe that these giants were no longer alive, but now it seems they are still around.

"Hoohoho!"

"The Emperor Ancestor is invincible and will surely sweep across all the heavens. The Primordial Ancient Realm and the Immortal Realm will all grovel at your feet."

An immortal being saw the figure that was faintly visible in the mist and immediately roared with excitement.

In an instant, a series of reverent voices, like a mountain roar and a tsunami, swept across all the heavens and myriad realms, shaking endless mountains and rivers.

"Wu Zhong, Liu Dao, your perseverance is meaningless. Even if this young man succeeds in breaking through, so what? Can he defeat us?"

"In my opinion, you might as well join us; perhaps you'll have a better chance of advancing further."

An immortal giant spoke up, hoping that the Immortal King of No End and the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation would voluntarily throw themselves into darkness.

This way, they can not only avoid unnecessary losses, but also attract two extremely powerful giants. Why not?

These words shocked everyone, and countless experts turned their attention to the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudaoshenji, wanting to see their response.

If the two Celestial Kings truly succumb to darkness, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe, and the situation will inevitably deteriorate further.

Even the Immortal Realm might not be able to withstand it at that time.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Immortal King Wuzhong responded decisively and without the slightest hesitation.

Do you think everyone is like you, selling themselves out to prolong their lives?

"Be bold!"

"Wu Zhong, I think you're tired of living!"

No sooner had the Immortal King Wuzhong finished speaking than several extremely angry voices rang out from within the black mist, shattering the endless sky.

Clearly, the words of the Immortal King Wuzhong struck a nerve with some of the most sensitive spots of certain beings.

The reason why there are so many immortal kings and giants in other realms is not because the beings there are exceptionally talented and can easily break through realms.

Many of these beings either willingly or unwillingly succumbed to darkness and became corrupted beings. The words of the Immortal King Wuzhong were like rubbing salt into their wounds and spitting on them.

"There's nothing more to say. Since your Primal Ancient Realm is unwilling to surrender, let it be utterly destroyed today!"

One of the immortal giants looked impatient and prepared to take this opportunity to completely destroy the Primordial Ancient Realm.

boom!
But just as the two sides were about to start the battle, a celestial gate appeared out of the void.

The next moment, terrifying figures stepped out from behind the immortal gate, numbering about dozens. Seven or eight of them were Immortal King giants, their terrifying auras surging as they confronted the foreign kings.

"The Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm has dispatched troops!"

"Is the Immortal Realm finally unable to hold back because it fears the complete destruction of the Primordial Ancient Realm and the loss of its buffer zone?"

The appearance of the kings of the Immortal Realm immediately relieved the powerful beings of the heavens. After all, if a powerful world is destroyed, it goes without saying that other weaker worlds will fall sooner or later.

Fortunately, the Primordial Ancient Realm is adjacent to the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm has always regarded the Primordial Ancient Realm as a buffer zone between them and other realms. If they really encounter a crisis, the Immortal Realm cannot remain indifferent.

After all, if the Primordial Ancient Realm were truly destroyed, the Immortal Realm would directly face the threat of other realms, which is something they cannot tolerate.

Moreover, the Immortal Realm has made great efforts to ensure the continued existence of the Primordial Ancient Realm, sending Immortal Kings to provide support on more than one occasion.

Some Celestial Kings even suffered severe injuries and were corrupted by the alien realm. They wanted to return to the Celestial Realm to recuperate but were ruthlessly refused. However, the Celestial Realm was also half-hearted in its efforts, sending mostly ordinary Celestial Kings, with very few even being top-tier Celestial Kings, and not a single Celestial King giant.

Otherwise, the Primordial Ancient Realm wouldn't have fallen to this state, and they and the alien realm would probably have been locked in a stalemate for quite some time.

Unfortunately, most of the people in the Immortal Realm are short-sighted and overly selfish, which has led to the situation deteriorating step by step.

The appearance of the kings of the Immortal Realm finally brought the atmosphere to a climax. Both sides are among the top realms in the myriad worlds, and the number of Immortal Kings is not small.

At this moment, a hundred Immortal King-level beings have gathered near this small Imperial Pass, an unprecedented event.

Once the two sides go to war, it may really destroy all the heavens and myriad worlds and affect endless ancient history.

For a moment, the powerful beings of all the heavens and myriad realms held their breath, watching the two sides, who were on the verge of drawing their swords.

Before long, the foreign lands couldn't sit still and spoke out first.

"Are you sure your Immortal Realm wants to get involved in this matter?"

The one who spoke was the Crimson King, one of the immortal giants of the alien realm. His true form was a Time Beast, and his strength was extremely terrifying.

Although his voice was calm, it carried an undeniable authority, and it spread throughout the myriad realms in an instant.

"Red King, the Primordial Ancient Realm cannot be destroyed!"

After a long while, a powerful Immortal King spoke up, expressing his unwillingness to watch the Primordial Ancient Realm perish.

Otherwise, if the ancient realm is corrupted by darkness, then their immortal realm will be the next target, and there will be no peace forever.

Therefore, under no circumstances can the Immortal Realm stand idly by and allow the Primordial Ancient Realm to be polluted, allowing darkness to border the Immortal Realm.

Above the Imperial Pass, two completely different paths confront each other. Terrifying figures stand atop the sky, overlooking all the heavens and myriad realms, but neither side makes a move.

The two sides were clearly divided, like the Chu River and Han border, and engaged in a powerful standoff.

The kings of the foreign lands fell silent, a rare occurrence. Even the ever-warlike Demon King Pu remained silent, fearing that this standoff would escalate into a decisive battle.

The Immortal Realm is different from other great realms. In terms of sheer numbers, the Immortal Kings there are no fewer than those in the Immortal Realm. They do not have a numerical advantage and cannot adopt a siege strategy like they did when facing the Primordial Ancient Realm.

If the two sides really start fighting, regardless of whether they can win or lose, the foreign land will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

After an unknown amount of time, the alien realm finally finished its discussions, and an immortal giant stepped forward with overwhelming power.

"We can promise not to destroy the Primordial Ancient Realm, and we also promise not to taint it with holy defilement. However, the Immortal Kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm must fight a decisive battle with our realm. The Ancient Realm will absolutely not allow any complete Immortal King-level beings to exist!"

This voice was incredibly domineering, like a decree issued by an unparalleled king, carrying an unquestionable tone that resounded throughout the ten directions of the heavens.

Strangely, no Immortal King or other powerful figure from the Immortal Realm offered a rebuttal.

The promises from the other realm were perfectly timed, striking a nerve with them. If the destruction of the Primordial Ancient Realm hadn't implicated the Immortal Realm, they would never have shown themselves.

Call them short-sighted or call them raising a tiger to cause trouble, once a compromise is reached, naturally not so many people will be willing to risk their lives for a completely unrelated world.

Among the kings of the Immortal Realm, there are indeed those with foresight and wisdom, but their voices are too weak to change the self-deceiving mentality of most people.

"Brother Wuzhong, I'm so sorry!"

A powerful Immortal King looked at the exhausted Immortal King Wuzhong with a hint of apology in his eyes.

He had been invited by the Immortal King Wuzhong to help him, but now he was backing out in front of everyone, which naturally made him feel ashamed.

But then he thought about it again and realized that he had done his best to risk his life because of his friendship with Wuzhong, and he immediately felt justified.

"Brother Dao, you are too kind. It is already quite difficult to protect my realm. I myself do not have too many extravagant desires."

The Immortal King Wuzhong remained calm, showing no fear or complaint, only composure.

"Brother Liudao, we're probably in for a calamity today!"

The Immortal King Wuzhong turned his head and looked at the equally weary Immortal King Liudaoshen, speaking in a calm tone.

"Hahaha……"

"To die on the battlefield alongside Brother Wuzhong would make this life worthwhile!"

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King laughed heartily, his expression carefree, as if he had already disregarded life and death.

The next moment, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously unleashed their supreme power, taking the initiative to walk towards the kings of the alien realm.

"You pathetic creatures from another land, your Six Paths Grandpa has come out. Do you want to gang up on me or fight one-on-one? Let's draw a line."

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King's eyes burned fiercely, piercing through the heavens, as he looked at the foreign kings with disdain.

"Humph!"

"Good courage! Since you two are willing to die, we will not deceive you."

"Let's use the old method—determine the opponent with the tortoise shell!"
