The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 196 Invincible Across the Heavens
At the same time, Chu Tianshu suddenly reached out with his left hand and pressed down on the tiger's head of the three-headed monster, locking its primordial spirit inside its skull.

The three-headed monster had already approached the threshold of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and its primordial spirit was also stained with a few traces of imperial radiance. Even if Chu Tianshu wanted to completely obliterate it, it would take some time.

So Chu Tianshu simply sealed its primordial spirit inside its head, suppressing it, and planned to slowly erase it after returning home.

Only after finishing all this did Chu Tianshu have the energy to focus his gaze on the strange space-time below.

"Huh? I didn't expect to accidentally return to the ancient primitive world again. Judging from this, it should be the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era."

The reason for this certainty was not entirely due to the Stone King; Chu Tianshu also saw the figure of the Desolate Emperor in his youth on the Imperial Pass.

As far as he knew, the Desolate Emperor Shi Hao rose to power at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era.

Just as Chu Tianshu was observing what was below, the beings from other realms and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were also looking up at him.

People couldn't believe that such a terrifying being dared to fight back against the consequences of karma throughout the long river of time.

Even a wisp of energy overflowing from the long river of time seems capable of crushing the heavens, and a drop of blood is enough to dominate the past and present.

Such an existence is too incredible.

At the borderland imperial pass, all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths gazed at that illusory and hazy figure, their hearts filled with excitement, their faces full of anticipation as they looked into the void.

"The legendary Taiyi Immortal King, who disappeared for an era, has reappeared and even killed a peerless powerhouse!" A supreme being exclaimed with reverence.

No one expected that the Immortal King Taiyi would return in such a shocking way, overturning their understanding.

"It is said that at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Taiyi Immortal King was already able to kill Immortal King giants. Now, an era has passed, and he will only be more powerful. The alien realm will definitely not dare to make any rash moves."

Above the Imperial Pass, many creatures wore expressions of joy, confident that the Taiyi Immortal King could quell the turmoil just as he had done at the end of the Immortal Era.

But only a handful of people in the know wore bitter expressions, their eyes filled with growing despair. Clearly, they recognized the state of the Taiyi Immortal King.

This legendary Taiyi Immortal King does not belong to this world. Even if he really makes a move, how long can he last?
Meanwhile, those in the other realms were on high alert, and even after an entire era had passed, some of them still dared not forget that face.

It was because of this figure that the alien realm's plan to destroy the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths failed, and many important figures perished. They were even humiliated by him when he stormed into their core territory. Even now, the losses from that incident have not been fully recovered.

Now that their formidable enemy has reappeared, they are immediately uneasy, but fortunately, the Immortal King Taiyi does not seem to be in a hurry to make a move.

For a time, the atmosphere in the entire borderland became increasingly oppressive, and neither the foreign lands nor the borderlands dared to make any rash moves.

"Taiyi, you should go back!"

A majestic voice exploded in the void, like a thunderclap resounding throughout the universe. The speaker was none other than Kundi, one of the leaders of the alien realm, known as the number one person in the alien realm, whose strength was even above Wushang's.

"Oh? What if I don't go back?"

Chu Tianshu chuckled, and his previously somewhat illusory figure became solid. No matter how the river of time eroded him, Chu Tianshu's figure remained as steadfast as a pillar that stabilized the sea.

From the perspective of the beings below, a previously blurry figure began to become clearer, and it seemed to be emerging from the past or future to fully descend into the present world.

Such an existence is too incredible; throughout all the heavens, it seems that no one has ever heard of such a feat.

“Taiyi, you do not belong to this ancient history. If we were to fight, it would cause a great upheaval. The endless backlash of cause and effect would be enough to easily injure you severely, or even cause your death. You might as well go back.”

Wu Shang, another supreme giant from another realm, spoke. His face was cold and stern, and he held a bronze halberd in his hand, which was said to be impervious to all magic. His strength was not much different from that of Kun Di.

Behind them, many Immortal Kings glared fiercely, their faces contorted with malice, and some were even eager to launch an attack.

In their view, with the two ancient ancestors Wu Shang and Kun Di present, along with many immortal kings, how could they possibly be afraid of a mere Tai Yi?

But since the ancient ancestor had not made a move, they could not act on their own initiative.

"Hehehe..."

"You few dare to spout such nonsense before me! Even if I have to withstand the backlash of karma from all the heavens and suppress quasi-supreme beings with one hand, I, Taiyi, am still invincible in all the heavens!"

Chu Tianshu chuckled softly, his voice not loud, yet it resonated throughout the heavens.

Tatata!
The next moment, Chu Tianshu's figure moved, and the River of Time began to surge wildly. An unimaginable force bombarded his body, trying to stop his progress.

Unfortunately, all of this was in vain. Chu Tianshu, with a ferocious tiger head in his left hand and a blood-stained killing sword in his right, moved with each step spanning an era, and his figure appeared on the desolate borderland.

Is there really anyone who can withstand the backlash of karma from all the heavens and forcibly return to the past?

In an instant, whether in foreign lands or the heavens and earth, whether as immortal kings or immortal beings, everyone was plunged into unprecedented shock, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

"Hiss! Is Taiyi really going to defy the heavens? I can sense the backlash behind him. In just a moment, it would be enough to easily cause an Immortal King to perish!" An Immortal King was so shocked by the scene before him that he turned pale.

He could sense the terror of the backlash, but what terrified him even more was the figure. The terrifying killing intent seemed to freeze time and space, making the hairs on the back of his head stand on end.

Wu Shang and Kun Di, who were standing in front, also became solemn. The development of the situation far exceeded their expectations, especially Tai Yi's strength, which seemed to have exceeded the scope of the Immortal King.

Having just been separated by the vast river of time, and with Chu Tianshu not targeting them, their feelings were not clear.

But when Chu Tianshu finally overcame all obstacles and appeared in the desolate borderlands, his magnificent aura completely shocked them.

"Don't act rashly. It seems that Taiyi is about to break through to become an emperor!" Kundi whispered, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

The kings from other lands could also sense the terrifying power of that figure, and they all bowed their heads in submission.

In an instant, the entire desolate borderland fell into an unprecedented silence, like the prelude to a storm, the oppressive atmosphere suffocating.

“Taiyi, you also have your own enemies over there. If you really want to make a move, even if you can withstand the causal backlash, your enemies will not give you that chance.”

After a long while, Kundi spoke again. He seemed to see more than one kind of terrifying blood on Chu Tianshu's immortal sword, all of which came from some terrifying beings.

Clearly, this Taiyi Immortal King has more than one enemy. Kundi used this to make Chu Tianshu hesitant and afraid to actually make a move.

“That’s right, Taiyi, why are you making things difficult for us? You don’t belong to this ancient history, so why bother?” Wushang said from the side.

"You are right, I do have a great enemy. Forcibly returning to the past has caused me unimaginable backlash. But you have forgotten who I am. I am Taiyi. So what if I am an enemy of all the heavens and myriad worlds? This sword can still cause most of you to perish."

Chu Tianshu murmured to himself, his voice seemingly echoing from the future, returning to the endless, distant past.

Zheng!
In an instant, an unimaginable sword light appeared, carrying supreme killing intent, and slashed fiercely towards the foreign land.

Subsequently, Chu Tianshu could no longer withstand the backlash from the River of Time, and his figure gradually disappeared into the world.

But at the last moment, Chu Tianshu still saw the scene he wanted.

Immortal Kings fell in droves like dumplings, their multicolored blood of the Dark Kings scattering across the sky. Heaven and earth were torn apart, the earth was overturned, and the entire alien realm was cleaved in two by him, creating a massive rift.

Wow!
As the sound of surging waves rang out, Chu Tianshu's figure fell from the void and crashed heavily into the Boundary Sea.

It wasn't until much later that he slowly crawled out of the Boundary Sea.

"Cough cough cough..."

Another violent coughing fit ensued, and streams of bright red blood flowed down, staining his blue robe crimson.

"In the end, he failed to fully step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

At this moment, Chu Tianshu was in a terrible state. All his internal organs had shifted, and his body was riddled with cracks of all sizes. His green robe had been completely stained red, and his vital energy was less than half of what it was at its peak.

Killing the three-headed monster did not injure him. Even when he reversed the flow of time and forcibly returned to the past, the backlash only made him feel uncomfortable.

The real reason he was in such a sorry state came from the karmic backlash from all the heavens and myriad realms. Under his sword strike, more than half of the immortal kings of the alien realms were killed or injured, which greatly interfered with the ancient history, and that's why he was completely and severely injured.

This is also why Chu Tianshu failed to truly reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level; otherwise, no matter how much trouble he caused, it would have been impossible for him to be injured.

"Let's continue our journey into the land of darkness!"

After a brief moment of rest and recuperation, Chu Tianshu continued his journey into the depths of the Boundary Sea. Based on his estimation, there shouldn't be any quasi-Immortal Emperor level dark beings in the Boundary Sea for the time being.

Otherwise, his battle with the three-headed monster alone would have been enough to lure out that supreme being.

Since he didn't make a move, either there were no dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, or he was wary of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's sword light. This was the best opportunity for him to explore the Ultimate Ancient Land.

……

world.

As time passed, another 30,000 years went by in the blink of an eye, and the second life of the Immortal Phoenix was finally coming to an end.

The Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens began to become unstable, and countless living beings looked on with anticipation, wanting to witness the end of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor.

This immortal spirit is incredibly long-lived, with a lifespan of 30,000 years in one lifetime and a total of 60,000 years in two lifetimes, causing countless geniuses to stagnate and thus attracting envy and resentment.
