The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 189 Chu Tianshu Makes a Move

Dam.

This is an unimaginable place, built in some unknown era, stretching between heaven and earth, seemingly blocking something.

At this moment, many figures stood on the dam. The weakest among them were beings from the Immortal Realm. Most of them were clad in armor, holding long spears, and looking ahead with tense expressions.

Their armor and spears were stained with multicolored blood, carrying an ominous and unsettling power.

On the other side of the dam, there were some huge corpses lying below, and judging from their appearance, it seemed that they had been trying to climb the dam before they died.

"Everyone get ready, the monsters are coming!"

With a deafening roar, all the figures on the dam activated their magic, gripped their weapons tightly, and stared nervously at the front of the dam, preparing to unleash their killing moves.

Boom boom boom!
The next moment, an endless black fog surged in from the other side of the dam, blotting out the sky and engulfing everything, as if turning the entire other side of the dam into eternal darkness.

Within those black mists were countless figures, each with a different form. Some were humanoid, while others were creatures never before seen in the myriad realms.

A dense array of scarlet eyes shone from the black mist, carrying an eerie quality.

"kill!"

Before long, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. Various divine lights danced in the air, and the sounds of fighting and the clang of metal filled the air. Blood of all colors splattered on the embankment, including the blood of immortals and the dark true blood of dark creatures.

The battlefield here is as long as the dike, and every place is a battleground where lives are being fought.

Whenever a dark being falls, a figure emerges from the darkness to fill the gap; the same is true for the immortals on the dam.

Roar!
A terrifying roar came from the black mist in front of the dam, and then a fallen blood phoenix flew out from behind.

It was enormous; its two blood-red wings were like two curtains of the sky, covering most of the heavens. Its body was covered with all sorts of dense dark runes, and its aura was terrifying.

The Fallen Blood Phoenix merely emerged from the darkness, and its violent aura made it difficult for the True Immortals in the area to breathe.

"A Quasi-Immortal King! A dark being with the potential to become an Immortal King has crossed over!" A being from the Immortal Path couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, the sound echoing in all directions.

click!
The cry of alarm from the immortal being seemed to awaken the fallen blood phoenix. It suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a cruel killing intent.

It immediately opened its blood-red maw, and a thick blood dragon spewed out from its mouth. The blazing blood light illuminated the sky and distorted the void before crashing heavily onto the dam below.

boom!
In an instant, dozens of immortal beings exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist with no trace of their bodies.

"what……"

Some immortal beings were unfortunately caught in the blood-red light, and half of their bodies were immediately burned away by the crimson flames. If they hadn't decisively cut off that part, they probably would have died on the spot.

"They are quasi-immortal kings, dark beings. How could they possibly cross the boundary?"

"Oh no! All the lords have gone to the Boundary Sea to hunt down the Dark King. Is there anyone who can save us?"

The appearance of a dark creature at the quasi-Immortal King level immediately shattered the balance on the battlefield, filling countless immortal beings with despair.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there is only one minor realm difference between a True Immortal and a Quasi-Immortal King. Even the weakest Quasi-Immortal King can kill a peak True Immortal with a single move.

Moreover, this Fallen Blood Phoenix did not seem to be an ordinary Quasi-Immortal King. With a single strike, it caused the immediate deaths of dozens of immortal beings.

Bang bang bang!
The next moment, streams of blazing blood dragons spewed out from the mouth of the Fallen Blood Phoenix. Each stream of blood dragons swept away dozens of immortal beings on the dam, clearing a large blank area.

"Hahaha……"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix stood atop the sky, its arrogant voice echoing throughout the entire dam battlefield.

"It's all over! A quasi-Immortal King, a dark being, has crossed over! Who can turn the tide?" Looking at the ferocious and overwhelming Fallen Blood Phoenix, many immortal beings looked as if they were facing their own parents.

This Fallen Blood Phoenix was too powerful; it was clearly not an ordinary Quasi-Immortal King, and no one dared to step forward to fight it.

With an extremely powerful quasi-immortal king leading the way, the dark creatures advanced with unstoppable momentum, almost breaching the entire dam battlefield.

Just when these true immortals were almost in despair, the battle situation seemed to have changed again.

"presumptuous!"

Accompanied by an angry voice, a heroic young man suddenly appeared in the void and blocked the fallen blood phoenix.

The appearance of the heroic man immediately excited many immortal beings, and some recognized his identity.

"Great! It's Gu Qing, the most amazing son of the Ancient Immortal King Gu Tuo! We're saved!"

Ancient Immortal King Gu Tuo was an unparalleled genius born after the Immortal Realm shattered. In a very short time, he pushed his cultivation to the Immortal King realm. He was the pillar of the younger generation of the Immortal Realm and was regarded as the hope for the future of the Immortal Realm.

As the strongest son of the Ancient Immortal King, Gu Qing was naturally expected to achieve great things. He showed remarkable talent in the early stages of his cultivation and has now advanced to the Quasi-Immortal King realm.

"But Lord Gu Qing has only recently broken through to the next realm. Could he be a match for this Fallen Blood Phoenix?" a celestial being worried.

After all, Gu Qing had only just stepped into the Quasi-Immortal King realm, while this Fallen Blood Phoenix was clearly no ordinary Quasi-Immortal King, and he might not be its match.

In an instant, everyone's faces darkened.

If even the Celestial King's own son is no match for this Fallen Blood Phoenix, then they are likely to meet their doom today. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Regardless of the world's concerns, this young and valiant man has already clashed with the Fallen Blood Phoenix, his overwhelming power sweeping across the eight wastelands.

But his good fortune didn't last long. This valiant man had only recently reached the Quasi-Immortal King realm and was no match for this fallen Blood Phoenix.

Before long, his body was soaked in blood, covered with large and small bloodstains, and his flesh was almost torn apart.

Tear!

With a tearing sound, Gu Qing's arm was ripped off by the Fallen Blood Phoenix. Brilliant immortal blood rained down from the sky, and boundless killing intent engulfed a large area of ​​land, even killing some weaker dark creatures on the spot.

However, Gu Qing was very tenacious. He forcibly gathered his flesh and blood, reconstructed his body, and once again attacked the Fallen Blood Phoenix, entangled him tightly.

boom!
Not long after, Gu Qing was knocked away by the Fallen Blood Phoenix again. This time, his injuries were more severe, and his body was cracked, which took a long time to heal.

Compared to Gu Qing's miserable state, the Fallen Blood Phoenix was in much better condition, with only some of its fur being rather disheveled.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Boy, judging from your appearance, you haven't been in the realm for long, yet you've managed to fight me to this extent. You're quite a rare and exceptional genius. Instead of following the destruction of the heavens, why not join my clan? With your talent, you'll definitely receive a lot of resources after joining my clan, and breaking through to the Immortal King realm will be just around the corner."

Seeing that Gu Qing was already severely injured, the Fallen Blood Phoenix did not continue to attack, but instead tried to recruit Gu Qing.

Those who can cultivate to the Quasi-Immortal King realm on their own are all outstanding individuals of their time. If they can transform into dark beings, their aptitude will be further enhanced, the difficulty of breaking through will be reduced significantly, and there will be a high probability of continuing to break through.

It is precisely because of this that a considerable number of beings in the various realms have voluntarily thrown themselves into darkness in order to break through their current realm.

"Pah! You think you can corrupt me? Dream on!"

Gu Qing painstakingly reconstructed his physical body, and scoffed at the Fallen Blood Phoenix's offer of recruitment.

As a being of the Immortal Realm and the son of an Immortal King, Gu Qing fully understands the horrors of darkness.

Once you actively engage with and accept the transformation by those dark substances, your mind will be completely warped, and you will become a completely different person.

The consequences are too severe; if you lose even your sense of self, what meaning does anything else have?

"Hmph! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Since you're unwilling to surrender, then you might as well die!"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix's face was gloomy. After letting out a roar, it charged at Gu Qing again, intending to kill him completely.

Bang bang bang!
In a very short period of time, Gu Qing suffered a series of severe injuries, his body split open several times, and it took a long time to heal.

In the end, only Gu Qing's head was still struggling; the rest of his body had been completely blown apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"go to hell!"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix's face contorted in a ferocious expression. It raised its phoenix head high and fiercely pecked at Gu Qing's head.

Its beak was as black as ink, as if it were cast from celestial gold, indestructible, and a strange, eerie light flashed across it, adding to its eerie appearance.

Wherever it passed, the void shattered and all things perished, its power resounding throughout the entire dam battlefield.

"It's all over! Even the Celestial King's own son is going to die a horrible death!"

"Why haven't the Celestial Kings returned yet? Our home is about to be destroyed!"

"Damn it, you dark creatures, I'll fight you to the death!"

Seeing that the Immortal King and his son were about to die tragically, many immortal beings showed despair. Some were paralyzed, some were filled with self-pity, and some even rose up in resistance.

"Ugh!"

Just as everything was about to settle down, a soft sigh came from the heavens.

The voice seemed to come from the ancient wilderness, carrying an endless sense of time, and spread throughout the world.

Wherever the sound passed, the dark mist that shrouded the world instantly vanished, and the countless dark creatures that once filled the world were annihilated, leaving not even a trace of embers behind.

Even the Fallen Blood Phoenix at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal King realm was no exception, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Its overwhelming power cleansed the heavens, purifying all darkness, and the sky once again revealed its clear blue color. Thousands of golden rays shone down, soothing the wounds and pain on the battlefield.

All that had happened before seemed like an unreal dream, giving the immortals present a sense of temporal and spatial disorientation.

Such power was too terrifying. With just a sigh, it swept across the heavens and purified the darkness. Even the most knowledgeable immortals were dumbfounded.

Some creatures stared in disbelief at the bright and beautiful world before them, even though they had just been fighting a bloody battle and were on the verge of a crushing defeat.

But unexpectedly, the situation was completely reversed in the blink of an eye, and even their injuries were healed, returning them to their peak condition.

Such immense power seems beyond the capabilities of beings at the Immortal King level.

"emperor?"
