The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 201 God Emperor vs. Tai Emperor

"You don't need to worry too much. According to my calculations, no Dark King will ascend the dam for at least two to three million years. This period of time is enough for you to break through to the Immortal King realm."

"As for the higher-level Quasi-Immortal Emperors, there shouldn't be any in the Boundary Sea yet. The reason I went there this time is to investigate the situation in the depths of the Boundary Sea."

Although the Desolate Emperor's sword light encountered a minor problem, it is unlikely that a dark being at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level above the heavens could break through the sword light's limitations and appear in the Boundary Sea.

Unless one of the dark kings in the Ultimate Ancient Land breaks through and advances to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

The probability of this is also very small, otherwise, after Chu Tianshu killed the three-headed monster, a dark being at the quasi-immortal emperor level would have already made a move.

Even among the strange race, the three-headed monster, a dark creature on the verge of breaking through, is a minority. It's impossible for someone to remain indifferent after it has been killed.

Hearing the Thai King's explanation, the Divine Emperor's mood grew even more solemn. Time was of the essence. If he couldn't break through to the Immortal King realm before the Dark King ascended the dam, he might not even have the ability to protect himself in the future.

He had witnessed firsthand the terrifying nature of the supernatural race. Once corrupted by them, they would undergo an extremely horrific transformation, becoming bloodthirsty monsters—something he could not accept.

"Has the cultivation of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm?"

The God Emperor recalled what had just been said and couldn't help but ask.

According to the Thai Emperor, the Dark Kings cannot reach the dam for the time being, but there should be quite a few Dark Kings in the Boundary Sea, and there may even be dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

Since the Supreme Heavenly Emperor dared to venture alone into the depths of the Boundary Sea, his strength must far surpass that of ordinary Immortal Kings, and he was very likely to have reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

"Becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is not that simple. To reach the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, one must forge one's own path. Right now, I am still a little short of that."

Emperor Tai shook his head. If they were dark beings, it would indeed be easier for them to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, but their strength would be far inferior to his own Quasi-Immortal Emperor breakthrough.

Legend has it that there is another way to break through the shackles of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor in all the heavens and myriad realms: to establish a Heavenly Court that is respected by all the heavens, and to break through with the help of the fortune of the heavens and myriad realms by obtaining the Heavenly Emperor's position.

This method is roughly the same as that of the dark creatures, both relying on external forces to forcibly break through the shackles of a quasi-immortal emperor.

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing in cultivation is to force growth. It's not too difficult to make up for it at a lower level.

However, once you reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, if you break through with the help of external forces, it will be very difficult to make up for it later. The time required will be astronomical, which will greatly delay the time it takes for Chu Tianshu to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Chu Tianshu already felt that time was of the essence, so how could he possibly ruin his future?

A major upheaval is imminent, and the strength of a quasi-immortal emperor is simply insufficient to reverse the situation.

On the contrary, a mediocre Quasi-Immortal Emperor would undoubtedly be a tempting prey when faced with the Dark Turmoil, and would inevitably be hunted by the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

"Wouldn't the Supreme Heavenly Emperor encounter a quasi-Immortal Emperor level dark being deep within the Boundary Sea, risking his demise?"

The God Emperor's expression instantly turned serious. Even though there were no dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level in the depths of the Boundary Sea, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor was still at risk of perishing if he ventured deep into the dark lair.

If the Supreme Heavenly Emperor were to fall into darkness, it would be a tremendous loss for the entire human realm and even for all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Don't worry, he has his own methods. Even if he perishes in the dark lair, he has a way to defy the heavens and return."

As Chu Tianshu's golden body of faith, he was well aware of the Heavenly Emperor's methods. Don't be fooled by his presence in his true form; even a dark being at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level couldn't possibly cause his complete demise.

Don't forget that his physical flower and primordial spirit flower are both in the long river of time. If you want him to perish completely, you must destroy all the Great Dao flowers that he buried in the past and future of the long river of time.

Although a Quasi-Immortal Emperor can travel freely through the river of time, finding Chu Tianshu's Great Dao Flower within it is akin to searching for a speck of dust in the vast universe.

As long as even one of the three Great Dao Flowers remains, Chu Tianshu will be able to defy fate and return.

This is why Chu Tianshu had the confidence to venture alone into the ultimate ancient land to investigate the source of darkness.

"Alright, that's roughly the situation. Don't worry too much. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Your most important task right now is to perfect your Dao and Dharma, and hurry up and break through to the King Realm."

As for the God Emperor, not only did the Thai Emperor think highly of him, but even his true self valued him highly, believing that he had the potential to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

As for higher levels, that depends on his personal talent and opportunities; both are indispensable.

"Fellow Daoist King of Thailand, I have another request. May I ask if we could have a friendly spar?"

After the God Emperor finished speaking, he stared intently at the figure shrouded in golden light before him.

He naturally knew that the Thai king's strength far surpassed his own, and that he must have reached the realm of the Immortal King. Even just sitting there, he gave him the feeling of facing the vast universe.

This only fueled the fighting spirit in the God Emperor's heart; he wanted to see how much of a difference there was between him and the legendary Taiyi Heavenly Emperor.

"no problem!"

The King of Thailand agreed without hesitation.

Swish!
Swish!
In an instant, the two figures disappeared from the summit of the sacred mountain.

In the vast chaos, rage and disorder have always been the themes of chaos. If an ordinary cultivator were to mistakenly enter the chaos, he would probably be completely annihilated by it in no time.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the chaos, immediately calming the turbulent chaotic energy flow.

The first figure was dressed in a divine silkworm battle suit. He was a handsome man with a terrifying aura, and even the myriad paths of heaven and earth bowed down at his feet.

Between his brows, there was an invincible air that looked down upon the past and present, and rays of light overflowed from his body, illuminating the boundless chaos.

Opposite him stood a Taoist priest enveloped in golden light, his face blurred and obscured by the Great Dao, making him indistinct. What was terrifying was that even the Great Dao seemed to disappear beside him, as if it itself were yielding to him—it was utterly unbelievable.

"Fellow Daoist King of Thailand, please enlighten me!"

The Divine Emperor cupped his hands in greeting, then unleashed his full power, unleashing unparalleled might that stirred the boundless chaos.

His physical body was glowing, and endless Tao and Dharma gathered on his fist, which then slammed towards the Thai King.

Click, click, click!
The God Emperor's power was too terrifying; with every move he made, the chaotic space shattered layer by layer, manifesting endless phenomena of destruction.

"Not bad!"

The Thai Emperor nodded secretly. The God Emperor's strength was indeed impressive, surpassing that of ordinary quasi-immortal kings.

Just as the God Emperor approached, the Thai King made his move.

He simply raised his right hand slightly and lightly slapped it towards the God Emperor without any unusual phenomenon.

But even such an insignificant action, in the eyes of the God Emperor, was like a vast universe pressing down on him.

With a loud "smack," the God Emperor, powerless to resist, was instantly slapped away by the Emperor and fell into the boundless chaos.

"Cough cough cough, is this the power of a Celestial King?"

The Divine Emperor coughed violently several times, a trickle of crystalline immortal blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He could sense that the Thai Emperor was not using his full strength, but was only preparing to strike at any moment.

Even so, the Divine Emperor felt that his internal organs had shifted and he had suffered a minor injury.

"As expected of the Heavenly Emperor who is sung about by the world, his power is so terrifying just from the golden body of faith. I really don't know how strong his true self is."

Although the God Emperor knew he was no match for the God Emperor before the battle began, he felt he could at least withstand a few blows.

The Thai king simply waved his hand, sending him flying. However, the king showed no sign of discouragement; instead, his fighting spirit soared even higher.

The fact that the God-Emperor could endure the darkness for millions of years during his transformation demonstrates his terrifying temperament. He is confident that given enough time, he too can reach the level of Immortal King or even higher.

With such a powerful being present, the God Emperor undoubtedly had a towering goal ahead of him, giving him a target to strive for.

Before long, the two reappeared in the Undying Mountain and began to chat, occasionally exchanging cultivation experiences, but mostly the Emperor Tai spoke while the Emperor Shen listened.

It wasn't until several months later that the Thai King interrupted the exchange.

"Fellow Daoist Divine Emperor, I wonder if you plan to continue your ascetic cultivation in the mortal realm or go to the Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing these words, the Divine Emperor began to ponder.

Both methods are feasible. Staying in the mortal realm to cultivate asceticism is more stable. Given enough time, the God Emperor is confident that he can grow and reach the realm of Immortal King or even Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

It just takes a long time, but the advantage is that there is no danger to life.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm, dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal King level have already reached the dam, making it quite dangerous.

However, there are also many benefits. It is a gathering place for powerful beings from all over the world, including beings at the Quasi-Immortal King or even Immortal King level. There are many people who can communicate with him, which can accelerate his improvement of his Dao and Dharma.

With the strategy of sustaining war through war, the Divine Emperor was confident that he could reach the Immortal King realm in a very short time.

There are advantages and disadvantages; fighting on the front lines carries a high probability of death.

"If one cultivates diligently in the mortal world, one may live a peaceful life, but if one loses the courage and perseverance to advance, one will be nothing more than a skeleton in a tomb. When darkness and turmoil arise, one will inevitably end up dying and disappearing."

"If that's the case, why not face the darkness head-on, witness the brilliance of the world, and carve out a path to survival from the brink of despair?"

Soon, the God Emperor's gaze hardened. He had carved a bloody path through the mortal realm to forcefully attain enlightenment; naturally, he could also forge a supreme path through battle in the darkness.

He did not want to be powerless to prevent the coming of darkness and turmoil, only to become food for the darkness itself.

Moreover, if he chooses to run away all the time, no matter how high his potential is, he will probably just blend into the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Tai, I choose to go to the Immortal Realm."

The God Emperor made up his mind that he would rise from the darkness and attain the supreme Dao.

"Fellow Daoist, you have great ambition. Whenever you wish to enter the Immortal Realm, I will open the gate for you."

The Thai king was not surprised by the God Emperor's decision. Having successfully traversed the path to immortality in the mortal world, he naturally had no fear of life or death.

"Just now."

The God Emperor did not hesitate at all; he had made up his mind.

boom!
In an instant, a dazzling immortal gate appeared atop the divine mountain, and beyond the gate lay a vast immortal land.

A rich substance of longevity emanated from the immortal gate, making the Undying Mountain even more mystical.

The God Emperor leaped into the air and stood before the Immortal Gate. He glanced back at the ancient Big Dipper star, then took a step forward and completely disappeared into the Immortal Gate.
