The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 194 Charging into the River of Time

In an instant, the scene before Chu Tianshu changed rapidly. Boundless black mist rose from all directions and enveloped the entire world in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by bursts of arrogant, eerie laughter, a massive monster gradually emerged from the mist.

This monster resembles a white tiger, but its fur is entirely black, and it has dragon and phoenix heads growing on either side of its tiger head, making it exceptionally ferocious.

Its four tiger claws were like four pillars supporting the sky, and its aura was as vast as the sea, seemingly exceeding the scope of the Immortal King's realm.

Simply by standing there, it exudes an extremely dense dark substance, and any ordinary living being that touches it will immediately fall into darkness.

"Such dense dark matter; this monster is probably not far from breaking through to the King Realm."

Chu Tianshu felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing the menacing aura emanating from the three-headed monster with dragon, phoenix, and tiger heads.

This monster is very strong, far stronger than the eight-headed serpent he killed on the way. It should be like him, touching the threshold of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even Chu Tianshu has to take it seriously.

“I see that you are about to break through, but I'm sure you know how difficult it is to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. Why not join my clan and receive the baptism of divine light? It will surely help you take a crucial step.”

Upon seeing Chu Tianshu, the three-headed monster did not immediately attack; instead, it began to persuade Chu Tianshu to join the dark faction.

A being who has cultivated to the threshold of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor cannot be easily ignored by the Strange Clan. Once they successfully break through, they will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent.

However, if he can be recruited into the clan of the supernatural, he will become a great general in no time and should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary Immortal King, he would have slapped him long ago.

"No need, this threshold can't stop me," Chu Tianshu replied coldly.

Regardless of whether this threshold can stop him or not, Chu Tianshu will never submit to the strange clan and become someone else's puppet.

The essence of Taoist cultivation is to follow one's heart and desires. If one loses even one's true nature, what is the point?

"Sigh! I really mean it for your own good. Over the years, only one Desolate Emperor has emerged in all the heavens and myriad realms. Unfortunately, he is currently preoccupied with his own affairs in the heavens and is being restrained by some supreme figures."

"Your resistance is futile. Once the clan is determined to launch the Great Sacrifice, all the heavens and myriad realms will be destroyed." The three-headed monster sighed, revealing some information to Emperor Chu.

"Too busy to take care of himself? Has the Desolate Emperor encountered a formidable enemy in the heavens?" Chu Tianshu's heart sank.

It's easy to tell from the three-headed monster's tone that the strange race is indeed terrifyingly powerful, with probably quite a few beings at the Immortal Emperor level. Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is being held back by them, unable to intervene in the affairs of the myriad realms for the time being.

"So? What's your decision?"

The three-headed monster's eyes gradually revealed impatience. It believed that it had shown the utmost sincerity, but Chu Tianshu had been perfunctory in his dealings with it.

"Hmph, not good at all!"

Chu Tianshu snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand shone brightly. He unleashed a series of astonishing sword lights, sweeping towards the three-headed monster.

"Ignorant of good and evil!"

The three-headed monster's eyes blazed with intense light, and six terrifying divine rays shot out from its three heads. Wherever they passed, the void collapsed, the rules of the Great Dao were melted, and its power shook the ten directions.

Rumble!
The earth-shattering sword light collided with the divine light, instantly unleashing a terrifying power. Heaven and earth shattered, and the vast aftershocks rippled in all directions, destroying ancient realms wherever they passed and stirring up towering waves in the endless sea of ​​realms.

Both Chu Tianshu and the three-headed monster are about to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. Their power is unimaginable, and they are truly capable of overturning all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Fortunately, this great battle broke out deep within the Boundary Sea; otherwise, even a ripple from it would have been enough to sweep away an ancient realm and create boundless carnage.

"Roar!"

The three-headed monster roared. Just now, a sword light had slashed across its lower abdomen, almost disemboweling it, but it managed to dodge at the last moment.

Even so, the sword light left a deep wound on the lower abdomen of the three-headed monster, and streams of blood flowed down from the wound, like a blood-red curtain falling, dyeing the entire world crimson.

"How is this possible? How can you be so strong?" The three-headed monster's pupils widened in shock as it stared at Chu Tianshu in disbelief.

As a prodigy of the mysterious race, and on the verge of breaking through to the supreme realm, he has rarely encountered an opponent since his birth.

However, in just a brief exchange, it was nearly severely injured by the humanoid creature before it, which naturally made it feel alarmed.

Faced with the three monsters' questioning, Chu Tianshu remained silent, only continuously wielding his killing sword and slashing repeatedly.

If Chu Tianshu had reached the threshold of Quasi-Immortal Emperor through his own abilities, he certainly wouldn't have done it so easily.

However, the strange race is different. They were forcibly elevated by dark matter and lacked the tempering of blood and fire. Their strength is not much better than that of the sewers in the same realm. How can they contend with him?

Before long, the three-headed monster was completely outmatched in its battle with Chu Tianshu. Ferocious wounds covered its entire body, and crimson dark blood spilled into the boundless sea, polluting ancient realms one after another.

The three-headed monster grew increasingly terrified as the fight progressed. He had initially thought he was just there to handle a minor matter, but he never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent, who nearly caused his Dao heart to collapse.

"No, we can't continue fighting, or we'll all be done for here today."

Seeing Chu Tianshu's growing ferocity in battle, the three-headed monster couldn't help but consider retreating. "Hmph, my clan has matters to attend to, so I'll let you go this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three-headed monster transformed into a ball of black light and sped off into the depths of the Boundary Sea.

If the strange race were to witness this scene, they would be greatly astonished. The three-headed monster, a prodigy of the race, had actually come to such a sorry state.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"

Chu Tianshu's eyes turned cold. He had fought so hard for so long, how could he let him escape so easily?

In an instant, Chu Tianshu also transformed into a streak of rainbow light, relentlessly pursuing and attacking the three-headed monster.

As the two chased each other, fragments of time flew about, and a magnificent river appeared in the Boundary Sea.

"It's the river of time, there's hope!"

The three-headed monster looked at the rushing river of time before it and charged into it without hesitation.

It only needs to shake off Chu Tianshu over the course of time and then return to the present world to easily escape, which is nothing short of a lifeline for him.

"boom!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Tianshu immediately followed the three-headed monster's back and charged into the River of Time, determined to cleave it in two with his sword.

In an instant, Chu Tianshu spotted the figure of the three-headed monster in the river of time. Without hesitation, he immediately slashed at the three-headed monster with his sword.

Zhengzhengzheng!
Accompanied by a series of resounding sword cries, a dazzling streak of light appeared in the river of time. Its fierce killing aura was so intense that even the river of time could not withstand it, stirring up towering waves within it.

"Madman...madman, how dare you launch a large-scale operation in the long river of time? Aren't you afraid of utter destruction?"

Upon seeing Chu Tianshu's actions, the three-headed monsters were immediately terrified, their faces turning deathly pale. A great battle in the long river of time has always been a major taboo.

At their level, their every move can affect all the heavens and myriad realms, greatly influencing the long river of time and causing large-scale changes in ancient history.

Unless one is a quasi-Immortal Emperor, no Immortal King would dare to guarantee that they could withstand the backlash of the River of Time.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The three-headed monsters used all their strength to barely block Chu Tianshu's attack, and then fled upstream along the River of Time without stopping.

Tear!

On the other side, Chu Tianshu's expression remained unchanged. He once again swung his killing sword and slashed fiercely at the back of the three-headed monster. In an instant, the world was turned upside down and time was reduced to ruins, yet he was not affected by the backlash of the River of Time.

This was actually thanks to Chu Tianshu's physical body and primordial spirit, two flowers of the Great Dao. At this moment, they were respectively located at the upper and lower reaches of the River of Time, resolving the backlash from the River of Time one by one, which is why they did not affect Chu Tianshu's true form.

However, even if the backlash from the river of time affects his true form, he can withstand it with his powerful physique, and at least he won't have any major problems before killing the three-headed monster.

"Roar!"

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death! When this affects the ancient histories of all the heavens and myriad worlds, let's see if you can withstand it!"

Seeing that Chu Tianshu was relentless, the three-headed monster knew that things couldn't end peacefully today. It roared and charged at Chu Tianshu.

Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the three-headed monster unleashed its full power. The dragon, phoenix, and tiger heads shone brightly, displaying supreme techniques and fiercely battling Chu Tianshu. The aftershocks fell into the river of time, like a star falling into the sea, causing boundless waves.

Seeing this, Chu Tianshu didn't hold back. He raised his sword and attacked the three-headed monster head-on. In no time, he had cut off the dragon and phoenix heads of the three-headed monster, while the tiger head in the middle remained intact.

"Crack!"

Just as the three monsters were about to perish, a huge gap suddenly appeared in the river of time ahead, and below that gap in time, there was a magnificent imperial city.

At the same time, the scene of Chu Tianshu fighting the three-headed monster was also seen by those below.

"Peerless powerhouses are battling in the River of Time, tearing apart space and time!" In the alien realm, an immortal being gazed at the River of Time hanging in the sky before him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This is an absolutely unimaginable powerhouse, capable of reversing time and space, making the long river of time visible.

At the same time, due to this sudden change, An Lan, the immortal king of the alien realm, had to stop what he was doing and stare intently at the River of Time in the void.

This also relieved the Stone King, who was fighting against Anlan in the Primordial Imperial City.

But soon, the Stone King sensed a very familiar aura in the long river of time, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

Disregarding his own physical body which was on the verge of collapse, he took the initiative to manifest his Dharma form in the void.

"Immortal King Taiyi, is that you?"
