The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 209 Breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal Emperor

In an instant, Chu Tianshu decisively attacked, charging towards the five people. A dazzling sword light shone in the dark ancient land, and endless light began to illuminate this dim place.

Under the blazing sword light, everything was disintegrated and vanished, even the Dark Path runes were no exception, and began to gradually collapse.

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" A dark creature sneered, its voice like that of a vengeful ghost from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.

He held a celestial halberd in his hand, and with a sudden swing, a faint light appeared, and countless dark runes were scattered, colliding with Chu Tianshu's sword light.

The sword light collided with the Heavenly Halberd, instantly triggering a tremendous collision that caused the sky to collapse, the earth to split, and ghosts to wail. The surging aftershocks rippled in all directions, turning everything into dust.

The aftershocks of this collision were terrifying; even Immortal Kings would be instantly killed, and Supreme Giants would be severely injured.

"puff!"

In the very instant of their exchange, the dark creature felt a powerful force flowing through the Heavenly Halberd, instantly entering its body and unleashing a terrifying killing intent that nearly tore its flesh apart.

"How is this possible? You're actually this strong!" The dark creature wielding the Heavenly Halberd's expression changed drastically.

He was aware that his strength was different from what he had cultivated, but he never expected to be severely injured in just one moment of fighting.

If it were a one-on-one confrontation, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before I would perish at the hands of this ruthless man.

Seeing the situation change, the other dark beings did not hesitate and unleashed their supreme power, attacking Chu Tianshu.

Chi!
Swish!
boom!
...

Faced with the attacks of the group, Chu Tianshu's killing sword shone even brighter, with beams of immortal light descending, carrying an indescribable Daoist charm, as if it were about to completely end everything.

Heaven and earth, the Great Dao, and all things trembled and were even worn away under the shroud of the sword light.

In particular, those few near-supreme beings had the strongest senses. They could feel a stinging pain in their bodies under the sword light, as if they were about to explode at any moment, which made them uneasy.

They were clearly the ones with the advantage, but they felt unable to contend with this being, and even seemed to be at a disadvantage.

If this gets out, it will probably cause a huge uproar, a scene rarely seen in history.

This great battle was so vast that, in the midst of everyone's clash, large swathes of heaven and earth were torn apart and the sky was overturned. Even with the reduction of the dark runes, nothing was spared, leaving behind eternal and indestructible traces in the world.

Despite being surrounded by several people, Chu Tianshu handled the situation with ease. His physical body, having undergone the tempering of dark runes, had become considerably immune to the attacks of these dark creatures.

In addition, his physical body is sturdy, so even if he were to directly confront an attack from a near-supreme being, he would not suffer any significant injuries.

"How can there be such a powerful being in all the heavens and myriad realms?" the dark being with a human face and a bird body exclaimed in terror.

They initially thought that the five of them against one would have a sure victory. But the result was completely different from what they expected; they were overwhelmed by him alone.

"He is too terrifying. We absolutely cannot let him live. We must kill him completely, leaving no possibility of survival."

"Otherwise, if he continues to break through, he might very well break through directly and become a Dao Ancestor, which would be too terrifying."

The dragon-headed creature spoke again, its expression extremely grim.

Quasi-Immortal Emperors are also divided into levels, with the lowest being those who break through as dark beings or those who break through with the help of external forces.

However, if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor breaks through on their own, their strength is far greater than theirs, and they are called Dao Ancestors by the world, second only to those beings at the end of the road.

Even among their strange race, there are only a few supreme beings who can rival the Dao Ancestor.

If this being were to break through to the next level, the Dark Ancient Land might truly be overturned.

"kill!"

A strangely shaped, dark, near-supreme being roared, carrying immense killing intent, attempting to overturn the world and kill Chu Tianshuge on the dark earth.

The overwhelming killing intent turned the dark ancient land crimson, as if even time and space had been frozen.

"cut!"

Chu Tianshu's eyes narrowed, and he brandished his killing sword, slashing fiercely at the near-supreme being.

In the instant of the exchange, Chu Tianshu neutralized the dark, near-supreme attack, and the remaining power of the killing sword struck his body fiercely.

Tear!

As expected, the strangely shaped dark quasi-supreme was cleaved in two by his force, and silver dark blood rained down from the sky, annihilating the endless earth.

"what……"

A piercing scream rang out, instantly echoing throughout this dark ancient land, sending chills down the spines of those dark kings.

"No, really? Five quasi-Supreme Lords joined forces, and they still couldn't defeat him alone?"

A dark king gazed at the battle ahead, completely stunned. The battle did not seem to be unfolding as they had anticipated; instead, not long after the initial clash, a near-supreme being was severely wounded.

"This is troublesome. Judging from the looks of it, these five lords are clearly at a disadvantage." Another Dark King chimed in, expressing his concern. "Hmph, I admit he's strong, but our clan still has quite a few quasi-Supreme beings. This time, we were just careless and underestimated his strength. Next time our clan makes a move, there will be more than five quasi-Supreme beings."

A dark creature snorted coldly, believing that Chu Tianshu might be able to withstand one encirclement and attack, but he would definitely not be able to escape death next time.

The Dark Ancient Lands are their lair, home to numerous near-Supreme beings, making them absolutely capable of accomplishing this.

Just as everyone was talking, a mournful cry suddenly came from the sky, and endless dark blood rain fell, carrying a strong sense of eeriness and foreboding.

"Zhun, the Supreme One has fallen!"

A dark king cried out in terror. The strange phenomenon in the sky indicated that a near-supreme being had fallen. Otherwise, if all the heavenly beings had fallen on the ancient dark land, there would not have been such a grieving phenomenon.

"Hiss! Is this being really that strong? Not only were those five beings unable to kill him, but he also countered them, causing one of the quasi-supreme beings to perish. This is terrifying."

Seeing the extraordinary phenomenon of heaven and earth grieving, the people were unable to accept it for a time.

……

On the battlefield, the others looked at the ferocious Chu Tianshu with a sense of unease. Especially after seeing that Chu Tianshu had not suffered any obvious injuries after killing a quasi-supreme being, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Five quasi-supreme beings surrounded and killed one person, but not only did they fail, one of them was killed first, which almost directly foreshadowed the failure of this operation.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the dragon-headed creature, seeing that it could not kill Chu Tianshu, immediately prepared to leave. After all, their previous attempt to surround and kill him with five people had been ineffective, and now that only four remained, the level of danger had suddenly increased dramatically.

Continuing the fight would likely only result in pointless casualties. The dragon-headed creature remained remarkably calm and decisively issued the order to retreat.

"You can't leave if you want."

Chu Tianshu had naturally overheard the conversation of these dark creatures, so how could he let them leave so easily?

I've already used almost all my strength this time, and the strange race will definitely send out an even bigger force next time. If I can eliminate these few in advance, it will alleviate some of the pressure in the future.

"Hmph, you think you can stop us all by yourself? You're just delusional."

"That's right, we are all near-supreme beings. Even if we are weaker than you, if we want to run away, you can't stop us!"

Those near-supreme beings sneered upon hearing this. At their level, unless there was a significant gap in their cultivation realm, no being of the same level could stop them if they wanted to escape.

"burst!"

The next moment, Chu Tianshu let out a soft shout and decisively detonated the Dao-Slaying Power that had been accumulating within those people for a long time.

In just a moment, the aura of those quasi-supreme beings plummeted, and their cultivation levels dropped at a visible speed.

"W-what? What kind of sorcery is this?"

"What happened? How could my Dao Fruit be damaged, and my cultivation level actually regress?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Those few dark quasi-supreme beings panicked completely. Before they could react, a hazy celestial light enveloped them and instantly reduced them to dust.

Wow!
In the blink of an eye, the endless sky once again began to drizzle with dark blood rain, an eerie atmosphere filled the universe, and an inescapable sorrow permeated the world.

In a very short time, the five quasi-supreme beings were completely killed by Chu Tianshu's sword. Not one of them was able to escape. It is conceivable that once the news is spread, it will cause a great shock to the strange race.

The next encirclement and attack will definitely not be as simple as today.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu did not leave. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to recover from his injuries.

Those beings were, after all, beings of the same realm as him, and their strength was considerable, so they still managed to inflict some injuries on him.

In order to prepare for the upcoming great battle, he must recover to his peak condition as soon as possible and leave no room for error.

On the other side, Chu Tianshu attempted to unify the three flowers and break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

If he can fully integrate the three flowers, then the power of the past and the future will converge in the present world, not only increasing his combat strength, but also making him fearless in any bloody battle.

He can recover from any injury instantly, and the past and future will keep him at his peak.

Once he truly breaks through, he will most likely reach the pinnacle and become invincible at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

The reason why Chu Tianshu has been unable to break through is that he is stuck at the last moment.

He was never able to connect the past physical flower and the future primordial spirit flower with the present world, and could not achieve the level of constructing a small cycle.

Chu Tianshu closed his eyes tightly, and vaguely, a golden flower of the Great Dao rose above his head, swaying with supreme Daoist charm, carrying a peaceful aura that purified everything.

Even in the very place where Chu Tianshu sat cross-legged, the eternal darkness began to fade, and the laws of the Great Dao began to reverse.
