The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 18 The Golden Tribulation
This is why Chu Tianshu, despite his strong stance, is not in a hurry to take action.

In the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, with its towering waves, Chu Tianshu strolled along the edge of the core of this forbidden zone of life. The Purple Cloud Sword in his hand gleamed, and a vivid, dripping blood stained its blade, radiating an awe-inspiring killing intent.

This is the imperial blood of the Gluttonous Supreme, now stained on the three-colored longsword, adding an extra touch of eeriness to it, as if it were about to transform into an unparalleled killing sword.

Even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones felt a chill run down their spines the moment they saw this killing sword, as if it would strike them down at any moment and obliterate all traces of their existence.

As time passed, Chu Tianshu grew increasingly impatient as he saw that the other party had not yet reached a conclusion.

At the same time, the Purple Cloud Sword in his hand clanged, and a forbidden killing move was brewing on the blade.

When Heaven unleashes its killing intent, stars shift and constellations change; when Earth unleashes its killing intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land; when man unleashes his killing intent, the world is turned upside down.

Moreover, he was an emperor who had already attained enlightenment. The entire Samsara Sea trembled under Chu Tianshu's supreme imperial might.

The outside world was in turmoil, with the sky and earth changing color. A murderous aura enveloped the entire Big Dipper star field, and various apocalyptic phenomena appeared one after another in the sky above the ancient Big Dipper star, as if the end of the world had arrived, which terrified the people of Big Dipper to the extreme.

"Does that human emperor truly intend to wage a complete war against that forbidden zone of life?"

"We must not start a fight, otherwise the ancient star of the Big Dipper will collapse in an instant, and billions of lives will perish along with it."

"The human emperor is too powerful. Beidou Ancient Star is no longer a suitable place to stay. We must immediately activate the inter-star field teleportation array and escape from Beidou Ancient Star."

Powerful beings from all races gazed towards the direction of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and saw beams of light shooting straight into the sky, which terrified them.

Regardless of whether this war breaks out or not, we can no longer stay on the ancient star of the Big Dipper.

If even a single wisp of supreme energy were to fall upon the ancient star of the Big Dipper, it would be enough to easily wipe out all these ancient races.

Rather than staying here in fear, why not risk crossing the stars? Perhaps there's another chance for survival.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu's confrontation with the many supreme beings of the Samsara Sea also attracted the attention of other forbidden zones of life. One after another, earth-shattering auras awakened, gazing at the forbidden zones of the Samsara Sea.

"Hehehe, this is going to be good!"

"Hehehe, the human emperor is as explosive as ever! Let's start fighting! I can't wait to see rivers of blood and both sides suffering heavy losses!"

"Not necessarily. Those old fogies in the Reincarnation Sea are extremely afraid of death. How could they possibly fight this emperor to a standstill? They'll most likely have to compromise!"

One after another, supreme divine thoughts collided in the void, all watching the every move of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

On the other side, the many supreme beings of the Samsara Sea, seeing that Chu Tianshu really intended to make a move, immediately became restless.

"Human Emperor, let's talk this out. If we really start fighting, it will only benefit the beings in other forbidden zones."

"Yes! You have only just attained enlightenment and stepped into the realm of the Emperor's Path. You still have ten thousand years of good days ahead to enjoy. Why bother getting entangled with us?"

"The Supreme Taotie is dead. We did not hinder your path to enlightenment. There is no deep-seated hatred that cannot be resolved. Perhaps in your later years we will still be on the same path."

"Human Emperor, if you cease hostilities here, we are willing to pay the price to turn swords into plowshares. As long as you live, no supreme being will ever emerge to cause trouble in our Reincarnation Sea. What do you say?"

From the depths of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the voices of supreme beings echoed.

When they saw that Chu Tianshu really intended to make a move, they immediately backed down.

Although they guessed that Chu Tianshu was unlikely to actually make a move and probably just wanted to ask for some benefits, they still didn't dare to actually engage in a life-or-death battle with him. After all, the scene of Chu Tianshu slaying the Taotie Supreme with a single sword strike on the Mythical Battlefield not long ago was still fresh in their minds.

To be honest, the strength of this new human emperor far exceeded their expectations, faintly surpassing the realm of the ultimate path, and showing the shadow of the former Undying Emperor and Emperor Venerable.

Even a mythical ancient venerable who had undergone the ultimate sublimation and returned to his peak combat power could not withstand a single sword strike when using forbidden techniques. How could this not terrify them?

If he were to actually fight Chu Tianshu to the death, he would have to pay an extremely heavy price, and there was no guarantee that he would win.

"Oh?"

"Is any price acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianshu suppressed his murderous intent and asked with great interest.

Those supreme beings guessed correctly; he indeed had no intention of taking action, but that didn't mean he would easily let go of these forbidden zones of life.

He has cultivated the Dao for three thousand years in this life, and apart from the Purple Cloud Sword, he has nothing else. He doesn't even have the materials to refine a Dao-proving artifact.

In the words of Director Zhao from his previous life, he was truly terrified of being poor.

Even the main material of the Purple Cloud Sword in his hand was unearthed from the ruins of his predecessors, which can be described as extremely tragic.

He also tried to find the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Immortal Elixir of the Ancient Tree of Life among the remains of Lingbao Tianzun on the ancient mythical road, but to no avail, as they seemed to have been taken long ago.

This also made Chu Tianshu realize that the events experienced by Ye Tiandi in later generations could only be used as a reference.

After all, the era he is in now is at least a million years apart from the era of Emperor Ye. In such a long period of time, no one knows what happened in between.

Therefore, as soon as he attained enlightenment, he chose to attack their doorstep. On the one hand, he wanted to settle accounts with the Taotie Supreme who was blocking his path to enlightenment, and on the other hand, he wanted to gain some benefits from these forbidden zones of life.

If someone doesn't dare to extort money from forbidden zones before attaining enlightenment, and doesn't dare to do so after attaining enlightenment either, then wasn't his enlightenment achieved in vain?
Moreover, the forbidden zones that can provide these self-severed supreme beings with a means of survival are all top-tier divine lands in the human universe, containing unparalleled creation.

Furthermore, these supreme beings in the forbidden zones were all ancient emperors who had once suppressed the world and were invincible, so they must have plenty of good things in their hands.

Just as Chu Tianshu was pondering, a piece of gold the size of a millstone flew out from the depths of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

Dao Tribulation Gold is one of the nine divine golds.

It is entirely golden and translucent, resembling a dazzling little sun, radiating endless brilliance. Its texture is extremely hard, making it virtually indestructible.

Moreover, the Dao Tribulation Gold possesses a mysterious Daoist charm that resonates with the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth. There are even rumors that the Dao Tribulation Gold is related to the Heavenly Tribulation and can even control the Heavenly Tribulation under special circumstances.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that Dao Tribulation Gold has always been sought after by many cultivators as a divine material exclusive to the Great Emperor, and cultivators who obtain Dao Tribulation Gold are generally believed by the world to have a "destiny".

Even among those who attained enlightenment, there were those who used Dao Tribulation Gold to forge artifacts for enlightenment, such as the Golden Ancient Emperor of the Primordial Era, the Dao Yan Emperor of later generations, and the Golden Crow Emperor.

Simply adding a small piece of Dao Tribulation Gold to a cultivator's magic weapon is enough to greatly increase its defensive power.

Such a large amount of Dao Tribulation Gold is enough for Chu Tianshu to refine a powerful artifact. Its value is immeasurable, which shows the sincerity of the Reincarnation Sea.

"Well, Your Majesty, this Tribulation Gold is our gift to celebrate your ascension to the throne."
