The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 195 Overwhelming Power Throughout History
The moment the Stone King appeared, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths erupted in chaos.

"Who...who is that? The aura is terrifying. Are there still beings like that in our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

On the Imperial Pass behind, some creatures were shocked to see the Stone King suddenly rush out of the Primordial Imperial City.

Legend has it that at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, although the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths managed to repel the invasion of the alien realm, they also suffered great losses. Not only did the world become devastated, but even immortal beings and those above the level of immortals did not survive.

However, it seems that some top experts have survived from that battle to the present day.

"It's Lord Stone King, one of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands. I didn't expect him to still be alive."

Soon, beings in the Imperial Pass recognized the Stone King as one of the seven kings who had long been stationed in the borderlands during the Immortal Ancient Era.

"Who did Stone King just shout? Did I hear him wrong?"

Above the Imperial Pass, a creature remembered the name the Stone King had just called out, and its face immediately became excited, its whole body trembling uncontrollably—a sign of extreme excitement.

"Rumor has it that after the great war at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Taiyi Immortal King fought his way out of the core of the alien realm and went to the Boundary Sea. Has he finally returned today?"

"Great! With the return of the Immortal King Taiyi, the alien realms will definitely not dare to launch a large-scale invasion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. We are saved."

They couldn't believe that after so many years, the legendary figure had actually appeared. In an instant, the entire Imperial Pass was filled with thunderous cheers.

Compared to the excitement of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the reaction from the other realms was quite the opposite. Upon hearing the name of the Taiyi Immortal King, they couldn't help but gasp in shock, and some immortal beings even cried out in surprise.

"W-what? The one who fought in the long river of time was the Great Demon King Taiyi!"

"Oh no! The Great Demon King Taiyi is not dead. Quickly go and invite the two ancient ancestors, Wushang and Kundi."

Since the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, an entire era has passed, and the Taiyi Immortal King has never appeared in the myriad realms again. However, at the crucial moment when they invaded the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, this peerless king actually appeared, which shocked them.

Even after an era has passed, the beings of the alien realm will not forget the fear that the Taiyi Immortal King brought them. He alone was able to single-handedly storm into the very heart of the alien realm, and then easily retreated despite all obstacles.

At this moment, the entire borderland, whether it was the alien realm or the nine heavens and ten earths, held their breath and stared intently at the surging and rushing river of time in the void.

There, the power of time dances and dances, depicting the changes of the years, and in the distance, two hazy figures are fighting each other in the long river of time.

Their aura was terrifyingly powerful, and the long river of time collapsed under their great battles, even experiencing brief periods of interruption.

A wisp of energy fell from the long river of time, immediately causing the entire desolate borderland to erupt in chaos. A terrifying aura permeated all directions, as if it were about to crush the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, all living beings in the entire borderland could feel a deadly crisis surging into their hearts, but fortunately, at the last moment, that wisp of aura did not actually fall.

"What kind of battle was this? Even a wisp of aura seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth. Even the two ancient ancestors of our clan would be far inferior to it!"

The Immortal King's expression changed drastically. Just now, he truly realized that the aura was enough to completely kill him.

How could this be? He is the Immortal King! When did he become so vulnerable that he couldn't even withstand a wisp of his aura?

Wow!
Just then, rivers of crimson blood flowed down from the gap in the river of time, obliterating endless space and time.

This blood was so dazzling and its killing intent was overwhelming that even immortal beings dared not look directly at it, as their primordial spirits would be scattered by the terrifying aura.

But they could sense that within that crimson blood was an extremely dense dark substance, seemingly originating from the same source as them.

"Could it be that the one fighting Taiyi is an ancient ancestor of our race from ancient times?"

An immortal king, gazing at the dark true blood before him, couldn't help but speculate. After all, such a dense concentration of dark matter couldn't possibly belong to a powerful being from any of the myriad realms.

But no matter how they speculated, the great battle in the river of time was still not over. The runes of the Great Dao collided in the river of time, causing boundless waves that almost destroyed the entire ancient and unchanging river.

"Roar!"

With a painful roar, an enormous tiger claw was severed and fell into the River of Time, stirring up boundless waves. Crimson dark blood spilled out, staining the entire River of Time crimson.

Even across endless time and space, people can sense the terror of this great war.

Once the aftershocks fall, they will be utterly annihilated. Beings capable of acting with impunity throughout the ages are far beyond their comprehension; they are unfathomable beings.

Such a terrifying battle is rare even in ancient history, but today, they witnessed it together.

Whether it was the high and mighty immortal king or the weak beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they all witnessed a scene rarely seen in history today.

"The great battle is almost over!"

A living being sighed. Even a being that had never cultivated could see the situation of the great battle in the long river of time. The dark creature that resembled a white tiger was on the verge of death and probably wouldn't last much longer.

Rumble!
Just as everyone was focused on the situation, a series of terrifying auras suddenly emanated from the rear of the alien realm. "It's the aura of the two ancient ancestors, Wu Shang and Kun Di. They've finally arrived."

"Not only that, other immortal giants and immortal kings have also rushed over."

"That's great. Even if the Great Demon King is strong, with so many ancient ancestors here, he can still die here."

In an instant, the foreign land's momentum surged, confident that with so many ancient ancestors present, they would surely be able to defeat all enemies.

"Back then, Taiyi only managed to escape by taking advantage of the absence of my two ancient ancestors, Wushang and Kundi. Today, let's see how he deals with this!" An immortal being sneered.

Since the great war at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, it took tens of thousands of years for the alien realm to finally make contact with the two ancient ancestors, Wu Shang and Kun Di.

Unfortunately, by the time they returned, the Taiyi Immortal King had already disappeared without a trace. However, in order to guard against the Taiyi Immortal King's sneak attack, the two ancient ancestors stayed there to guard the foreign land. In the blink of an eye, an era has passed, and today Taiyi has finally appeared.

Before long, terrifying figures appeared in the desolate borderlands, their aura so powerful it seemed to shatter the heavens, plunging all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths into despair.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Taiyi disappeared after the great battle. It turns out he didn't belong to this ancient history." A mighty voice rang out on the battlefield, causing countless living beings to tremble.

The two who fought in the long river of time do not belong to this ancient history, which is naturally clear to the discerning eyes of the foreign kings.

“Ancestor Wushang, you said that Immortal King Taiyi does not belong to this world, but why was he able to make a move at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, and it seems that he has not suffered any karmic backlash?” an Immortal King asked in confusion.

If the Taiyi Immortal King did not belong to this era, then why was he able to take action at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era? He even killed two immortal giants, causing heavy losses to the alien realm, which they could not understand.

"Legend has it that in the myriad realms there is a magical place where, if one is fortunate enough to enter, one can travel back in time."

"However, over the long years, very few beings have been fortunate enough to enter that place that connects the past and the present. Even I thought it was just a joke, but I never expected it to actually happen?" Wu Shang finished speaking, his face still showing an incredulous expression.

"What? There's such a place in the world?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Taiyi suddenly appeared from the Primordial Ancient Realm and then disappeared in a hurry at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era. So that's how it is."

Upon hearing Wu Shang's explanation, the kings from other realms suddenly realized why Taiyi had suddenly disappeared years ago.

"Ancient Ancestor, should we make a move?"

"Taiyi caused us heavy losses back then, and even killed the Crimson King who was expected to become a supreme giant. We cannot let him go today."

"That's right. While Taiyi is preoccupied with his own problems, we can strike suddenly and surely make him die here."

At this moment, an immortal king suggested that while Taiyi was engaged in a great battle in the River of Time, they should launch a surprise attack to turn the tide of the battle.

Although those two figures in the long river of time are terrifying, with so many immortal kings here, if they join forces, they might be able to kill Taiyi and make him perish here.

In an instant, many immortal kings looked toward the two towering figures, awaiting their response.

Without the intervention of these two supreme giants, they would not have dared to interfere in such a great war that would affect the entire course of history, and would have perished immediately.

However, the two ancient ancestors were different; with their cultivation levels, they should be able to suppress the backlash.

After a long while, a majestic voice finally rang out.

"Taiyi is quite powerful, and he doesn't belong to the same ancient history as us. If we were to engage in a great battle with him, it would inevitably disrupt the long river of time, triggering a major upheaval in the ancient history of all the heavens and myriad worlds. At that time, under the backlash of cause and effect, I'm afraid few of us would be able to escape."

Upon hearing this, many Immortal Kings looked indignant and turned their gazes toward Kundigu, hoping he would take the lead in making a move.

But Kundi ignored the kings and kept his eyes closed, as if he hadn't heard them.

Seeing that both ancient ancestors were in such a state, even if the kings were unwilling, they could only accept it helplessly.

"Hehehe, he got off too easy!"

Throughout the long years, Chu Tianshu did not respond to the Stone King's call. Instead, he focused all his attention on the three-headed monster, determined to kill it.

"Damn it, since you won't let me go, then let's die together!"

"The River of Time, Explode!"

Seeing that they had no hope of survival, the three-headed monster roared and prepared to detonate the River of Time.

"Hmph! Delusion!"

Chu Tianshu snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand shone brightly with unparalleled killing intent. In an instant, he overcame numerous obstacles and beheaded the three-headed monster with a single sword strike.
