The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 206 The Direction to Break Through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor
It can be said that the current Boundary Sea is extremely lacking in high-end combat power. Although the Ten-Crown King and Shi Yi are strong, they cannot fight against many opponents. There are also many supreme giants of the Strange Clan, and the two of them are also struggling to hold on.

If an Emperor Light Immortal King could join the battle at this moment, it would certainly alleviate the pressure on the two of them.

However, Tianjiao Ant is also worried that the current Taiyi Immortal King, like the previous two, has mistakenly entered this era and will have to leave soon, at which point he may be disappointed.

For a desperate person, the most frightening thing is not failure, but failing after seeing hope.

"Don't worry, I'm not from the future; I'm from this era myself." Chu Tianshu saw the Heavenly Horned Ant's concern.

"Really, really?"

The Skyhorn Ant exclaimed in surprise, its entire being instantly invigorated. With the addition of this legendary Celestial King, the Skyhorn Ant's confidence increased even further.

He had witnessed the strength of this Taiyi Immortal King firsthand. Tianjiao Yi felt that he was no less powerful than Shi Hao before he broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and was definitely an extremely strong fighter.

The addition of a Celestial King on the verge of a breakthrough to the battlefield will surely disrupt the balance of the Ultimate Ancient Land.

"Heavenly Horned Ant, what's the situation at the Ultimate Ancient Land? Have any dark creatures at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level appeared?"

Chu Tianshu set foot in the Boundary Sea because he wanted to find out the current state of development of the dark creatures.

If a dark being at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level were to appear, he would not be stubborn and would simply retreat, returning to exterminate it after his future breakthrough.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." That's the principle at play.

With the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's sword light present, those dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level won't be able to get here for a while.

However, if no quasi-Immortal Emperor level dark beings appear in the Ultimate Ancient Land, he will not hold back. All Immortal King level dark beings in the Boundary Sea are within his scope of cleanup.

Chu Tianshu was never a passive person; he preferred to nip danger in the bud.

While it's relatively easier for dark beings to break through to the Celestial King level, achieving that level isn't easy either. If this were to be accomplished, it should guarantee peace throughout the myriad realms for a considerable period.

Those future immortals in the mortal realm will have more time, so that they won't have to face the darkness and turmoil as soon as they set foot in the immortal realm.

“Senior Taiyi, according to the investigations of the Ten-Crown King and Shi Yi, there are currently no dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level in the Ultimate Ancient Land. The strongest among them are only at the Quasi-Supreme level, and their numbers are very small.”

"The Ten-Crown King once encountered a near-Supreme Dark Being deep within the Ultimate Ancient Land and managed to escape."

"Besides those two, there are many other Celestial Kings from the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Realm who hunt down Dark Kings on the edge of the Ultimate Ancient Land to curb the growth of the Strange Clan."

Before long, the Skyhorn Ant gave a general explanation of the current situation in the Boundary Sea.

Millions of years ago, after it was discovered that the Strange Clan had swept in, the Heavenly Court led its various Immortal Kings into the Boundary Sea to kill the Strange Clan's king.

However, most of the Celestial Kings in the Heavenly Court have limited strength and can only operate on the edge of the Ultimate Ancient Land, hunting down some ordinary Dark Kings.

As for the Ten-Crown King and Shi Yi, they had already ventured deep into the Ultimate Ancient Land and were waging guerrilla warfare against the Strange Clan, hoping to take this opportunity to slow down the Strange Clan's growth as much as possible.

The information that even the Heavenly Horned Ant knew was provided by the Ten-Crown King and Shi Yi, so that the people of the Heavenly Court could prepare in advance and immediately retreat to the Immortal Realm if things went wrong.

"So that's how it is. So the current strange race hasn't produced any dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level yet?" Chu Tianshu muttered to himself.

Without dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, things become much simpler. Killing those dark kings on the Ultimate Ancient Land will greatly delay the outbreak of the dark turmoil.

This is not only for the sake of all the heavens and myriad realms, but also for Chu Tianshu himself. Otherwise, once a dark being breaks through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, a being like him on the verge of a breakthrough will inevitably be the primary target of an attack.

Since that's the case, it's better to take advantage of the time before these dark creatures grow up and strike first, eliminating those dark creatures that have the potential to break through.

Although he had found the path to breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, he still needed some time. Chu Tianshu himself was unsure exactly when he would be able to break through.

However, Chu Tianshu had a vague feeling that if he simply cultivated diligently, it might take a long time before he could break through.

Only by rising up in battle and concentrating his energy and spirit can he perhaps find his way forward more quickly.

When he opened the sixth secret realm, he relied on the Great Dao of all the heavens and myriad worlds and the tempering of the kings to make the three flowers of the Great Dao—essence, energy, and spirit—bloom.

To continue making breakthroughs, one must fight a bloody battle across the entire wilderness.

This involves considerable risks. Although the creatures of the Weird race are generally weak, even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. The Weird race has no shortage of manpower.

Chu Tianshu had no intention of giving up. He still possessed two Great Dao Flowers in the long river of time, and these strange creatures posed no threat to him. Even if he perished in the Ultimate Ancient Land, he could return; at worst, it would only delay him a little.

"It's impossible to break through quickly without taking risks. Alright, I understand the situation. Go back and recover first. I'm going to the Ultimate Ancient Land."

Now that he knew the information about the Ultimate Ancient Land, Chu Tianshu was unwilling to delay and prepared to go to the Ultimate Ancient Land to slaughter the dark creatures according to the original plan.

At the same time, see if you can take advantage of this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough.

"Senior Taiyi, please be careful." A hint of worry appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Horned Ant.

Although the Taiyi Immortal King is powerful, there are also beings in the Ultimate Ancient Land who are no less powerful than him, and he also faces the risk of perishing.

If the Immortal King Taiyi were to fall into the Ultimate Ancient Land, it would be a great catastrophe for all the heavens and myriad worlds, and might even lead to a recurrence of the events of the Chaotic Ancient Era.

This time the situation is much more dangerous, because Shi Yi, the strongest ten-time crown king in the myriad realms, is still some distance away from becoming a quasi-immortal emperor.

Although the Strange Clan currently lacks beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, that's only a matter of time.

The next moment, Chu Tianshu bid farewell to the Heavenly Horned Ants and continued his journey towards the Ultimate Ancient Land.

The vastness of the Boundary Sea exceeded his imagination. Even after 120,000 years of flight, there was still a long distance to the ultimate ancient land.

However, Chu Tianshu did not waste any time. While traveling through the Boundary Sea, he comprehended the Dao and the Law, constantly trying to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

However, the difficulty of becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was beyond his imagination. Without sufficient pressure, Chu Tianshu was unable to unify the Three Flowers and take the crucial step.

Faced with this situation, Chu Tianshu was not discouraged. Since he began cultivating, only a little over a million years had passed, yet his cultivation had already reached the level of Emperor Light Immortal King.

Such speed is an extremely impressive achievement even in the vast history of the universe.

Moreover, having reached his level, he has gradually shed the constraints of the secret realm techniques and embarked on a completely new path, which naturally takes a long time.

Otherwise, if he continues down the path of the secret realm method, becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor will be Chu Tianshu's limit, and breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm will be almost impossible.

Only one person can become an Immortal Emperor by following this path to the end; according to the strange race, this is called the "End of the Path" level.

Once someone reaches the end of that path, even if a successor possesses extraordinary talent and widens the path, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor will be the limit.

It is impossible for two Immortal Emperors to stand on the same path at the same time.

Chu Tianshu had this in mind when he created the Three Flowers Secret Realm. He planned to start with essence, energy, and spirit, unify these three aspects, and open up a new path to break free from the shackles of the secret realm's methods.

In his mind, if he could integrate the three flowers of the Great Dao—essence, energy, and spirit—and create a small cycle, it would be enough for him to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

If one can then integrate the River of Time, creating a closed loop where the past, present, and future exist at the same moment, existing within every single second of the River of Time, then one should be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Unless the river of time can be evaporated, no one will be able to threaten his life.

However, that realm was merely Chu Tianshu's deduction; whether he could actually achieve it was another matter entirely.

And so, Chu Tianshu made his way toward the ultimate ancient land while studying how to integrate the three flowers to create a small cycle and step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

As Chu Tianshu gradually approached the ultimate ancient land, he encountered more and more dark kings. However, without exception, all of these dark kings became victims of Chu Tianshu's sword.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu also saw many Immortal Kings in the depths of the Boundary Sea. They were also lingering in the depths of the Boundary Sea, waiting for an opportunity to kill the Dark King.

Chu Tianshu even saw a Celestial King whose face resembled Gu Qing's; this should be Gu Tuo, the new generation leader of the Celestial Realm.

He was leading several celestial kings to besiege the Dark King on an island.

After glancing at it briefly, Chu Tianshu withdrew his gaze and continued his charge towards the Ultimate Ancient Land.

“Immortal King Gu Tuo, who is that fellow Daoist? Judging from the direction he’s heading, he seems to be preparing to storm into the ultimate ancient land. Isn’t he afraid of perishing?” An Immortal King wearing golden armor couldn’t help but ask.

Following the direction pointed out by the Golden Armored Immortal King, the group saw a hazy figure with his back to them, stepping into the depths of darkness, carrying a blood-stained killing sword in his hand.

"Immortal King of Emperor Light? Is there such a being in all the heavens and myriad realms?" Gu Tuo's expression changed drastically. He saw an eternal and indestructible imperial radiance on that figure.

That imperial radiance was so dazzling that it seemed to wash away even the darkness wherever it passed, restoring the world to its normal state.

“That’s right, he is definitely an Emperor Light Immortal King on the verge of a breakthrough. I once had the honor of seeing the Ten-Crown King, but his power was far inferior to this person.”
