The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 212 The Situation in the Human World

Almost instantly, an incomparably majestic and magnificent imperial figure stood on the dark ancient land. His aura was terrifying and unparalleled, illuminating all the heavens and myriad worlds and shaking the past, present, and future.

At the same time, this ancient land shrouded in darkness underwent a dramatic reversal, with boundless light shining down, allowing this gloomy place to return to the embrace of "life".

Darkness and misfortune were swept away, and the mighty imperial power swept across the ten directions, cleansing all sins and evils.

"This...this can't be a dream, can it?!" The Ten-Crown King was completely stunned by what was happening before his eyes.

Just moments ago, there were dozens of near-supreme beings in the mist, but in the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

What's even more incredible is that this being completely reversed the entire Dark Ancient Land, returning it to normal. Such power far exceeds their comprehension.

"So this person could have broken through long ago. It was all a setup, a trap to lure the dark creatures into walking into a snare." Shi Yi looked at the majestic imperial figure and vaguely saw the shadow of another great being.

Only now do they realize that everything that happened before was deliberately orchestrated by this unknown entity, all for the purpose of deciding the fate of the world in one battle.

"Isn't this great? With a new emperor, the turmoil will stop, and we won't have to live in fear every day!"

The Ten-Crown Kings smiled. Previously, they had been hiding in the Ultimate Ancient Land. Now that the dark turmoil had been quelled, everything would return to light.

The next moment, the two who were talking suddenly saw a blur before their eyes, and when they came to their senses again, they were in a completely different world.

Before them stood an unparalleled and magnificent imperial figure at the edge of the sky. It was the Dao, the only one, and endless imperial radiance cascaded down, bringing peace and tranquility to all the heavens and myriad realms.

This is an incredible being, capable of destroying the heavens with a single thought, and also creating the heavens with a single thought.

The Ten-Crown King and the Double-Pupiled One lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the Emperor. Before they could even bow, the supreme being spoke first.

"I've heard of you, the Ten-Crown King, the Double-Pupiled One."

Chu Tianshu spoke calmly, without a trace of hostility. He had truly stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and breaking through the barrier meant reaching the pinnacle. Everything was laid bare before his eyes.

He recognized the origins of the two people. One of them had a verdant sapling inside his body. The sapling had a unique aura, seemingly containing all the principles of heaven and earth. However, it was still quite immature and had a lot of room to grow.

The other person possessed no divine abilities, but his eyes were unique, unlike those of ordinary people, and held countless great secrets, indicating extraordinary potential. Chu Tianshu even sensed a vast aura within him, which he himself could not fathom.

This aura must have originated from his cousin, the legendary Desolate Emperor.

Even though Chu Tianshu had already established himself in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, he couldn't glean a single clue, which meant it must truly involve the Emperor.

"I have met the Emperor of Heaven!"

"I have met the Emperor of Heaven!"

The two men bowed deeply to Chu Tianshu with respectful expressions.

"No need to be polite!"

Chu Tianshu nodded slightly, and the next moment, the two of them stood up involuntarily, as if it were all perfectly natural.

"Gentlemen, there are still many Dark Kings in the Boundary Sea. I'll leave this matter to you two to handle!"

After Chu Tianshu's sweep, there were no more traces of dark creatures in the entire Ultimate Ancient Land. However, there are still quite a few dark kings in the Boundary Sea, and there may even be dark quasi-supreme beings.

However, Chu Tianshu had no intention of interfering. The principle of Yin and Yang is the way of things; Yin alone cannot produce anything, and Yang alone cannot grow.

In this world, there is yin and yang, light and darkness.

The Dark Clan's origins do not lie in the Ultimate Ancient Land. Even if they are completely wiped out, they will eventually return. The more ruthlessly they are wiped out, the stronger their counterattack will be.

Before conquering the heavens, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had already attained the status of Immortal Emperor. He left behind an unparalleled sword light, separating darkness from all the myriad realms and leaving behind a perfect world for humankind.

But as time went by, problems eventually arose, almost leading to a major disaster, especially for Chu Tianshu, a quasi-immortal emperor.

Since that's the case, it's better to leave some dark creatures behind so that the beings of all the heavens and myriad realms won't dare to be negligent. Who knows, some outstanding figures comparable to him might emerge in the future.

The next moment, Chu Tianshu waved his hand, sending the Ten-Crown King and the Double-Pupiled One back to the Boundary Sea, while he remained alone in the Ultimate Ancient Land, exploring its secrets.

He was particularly interested in the entrance to the heavens, and wanted to find it to see if he could gain insight into some of the battles above the heavens.

At the same time, we also need to confirm whether the battle situation above the heavens has truly reached a critical point.

At this time, he had not yet stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor, and he did not want to confront the source of darkness directly unless necessary.

And so, Chu Tianshu walked through the Ultimate Ancient Land, exploring its secrets.

……

The Human Realm. Since the Taiyin Human Emperor's defying-the-heaven return and attainment of enlightenment, the Human Realm has once again fallen into silence, with countless geniuses lying dormant, awaiting the Human Emperor's passing.

After millions of years, the Taiyin Divine Sect once again reigned supreme, ruling the entire universe and ushering in a new era. The ancient star Ziwei once again became the center of the universe.

However, the Taiyin Human Emperor rarely appeared after attaining enlightenment. Like those who had attained enlightenment, he also hoped to walk the right path and become the next immortal being in the mortal world.

About ten thousand years later, the Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens collapsed, and the Taiyin Human Emperor "passed away" in the eyes of the world, and the suppression of the Great Dao descended once again.

This also brought a long sigh of relief to the world. With the precedent of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor, if the Taiyin Human Emperor were to live for three lifetimes like the Immortal Phoenix, they would really not be able to bear it.

But only the Taiyin Divine Sect knew that the Taiyin Human Emperor had not passed away, but like his predecessors, he had stripped away the Heavenly Heart Mark, leaving a way for future generations to survive. However, only a very few people knew this news.

An ordinary Dao-proving cultivator might not be able to do this, but the Taiyin Human Emperor had already lived three lifetimes and followed the example of the Emperor Chong to cultivate. After proving the Dao, his strength had already established itself in the Heavenly Emperor's domain, so he could easily remove the Heavenly Heart Mark.

Another ten thousand years passed, the suppression of the Great Dao dissipated, and the conditions for attaining the Dao reappeared in the human world.

"Hahaha……"

"Even if you, the Emperor of Taiyin, defy the heavens and return, so what? In the end, you will only live one lifetime. This time, it will surely be my era!"

A prodigy from all races broke free of his seal and, gazing at the Heavenly Heart Mark suspended in the sky, descended into a state of frenzy.

He was a prodigy born from the third incarnation of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor. He had been sealed away for nearly 50,000 years before finally having the opportunity to prove his Dao for the second time.

Last time, because the phantom of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor was too terrifying, he was not confident in withstanding the attack of the phantom of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor, and could only watch helplessly as the Taiyin Human Emperor attained enlightenment.

Now the opportunity to attain enlightenment has presented itself to him once again, and he is unwilling to miss it. He wants to attain enlightenment and become the new emperor.

boom!
Without the slightest hesitation, this prodigy decisively triggered the great tribulation of attaining enlightenment. The vast tribulation light engulfed heaven and earth, immediately attracting the attention of the world.

"Someone like this dares to defy the heavens and prove his path; he's probably just a pioneer for the king."

An ancient prodigy looked in the direction of the tribulation of attaining enlightenment and sneered. If it were that easy, would it be his turn?

Over the past hundred thousand years, countless geniuses have accumulated throughout the world, and the number of pairs of people who have reached the threshold of enlightenment is countless, with a vast difference between them.

"That's right. He overestimated his own strength and underestimated the terror of the Taiyin Human Emperor. He was destined to shed his blood in the starry sky."

Another ancient prodigy echoed this sentiment, believing that the one who triggered the great tribulation of enlightenment had no chance whatsoever.

He knew some secrets: the Human Emperor had already lived three lifetimes in the ancient times, and now that he had returned to prove his Dao, his strength must have reached an incredible level. His tribulation mark was also terrifyingly strong.

He even suspected that the legendary human emperor had not died, but had embarked on that path like other legendary beings.

Not long after, a mangled corpse fell from the sky, confirming their earlier suspicions.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the world and caused a great shock.

"Just like 20,000 years ago, it couldn't last long in front of the Human Emperor's phantom."

"Alas, in the last hundred thousand years or so, the requirements for proving the Dao have become increasingly higher. I truly envy those ancient emperors of the Primordial Era. They did not encounter powerful Dao-proving individuals who would obstruct their path, nor did they encounter more than a handful of those who were about to attain the Dao." A prodigy sighed softly, his eyes filled with a sense of desolation.

There are two main reasons for this situation. One is that the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor gave back to the human world, causing the territory of heaven and earth to expand dramatically, the dead star to revive, and the population base to increase exponentially, resulting in countless geniuses being born.

Moreover, as time goes by, more and more prodigies are born.

The second reason is that the Immortal Phoenix Emperor set a bad precedent. This immortal emperor who attained the Dao was too terrifying, leaving later generations completely powerless to face his tribulation mark.

The one who can prove his Dao against such a formidable figure must also be a ruthless character, someone who would certainly give these prodigies a run for their money.

Rumble!
Just then, the light of immeasurable eons reappeared, and someone in the desolate edge of the universe triggered a great eon of enlightenment.

With the lessons of the past still fresh, how could anyone repeat the same mistakes?
"Who was it? Didn't you see what happened to that person?"

"No way! Is this person really confident in attaining enlightenment?"

In an instant, the expressions of the group of geniuses in the human realm changed drastically. Someone had just died tragically under the heavenly tribulation, yet someone still dared to trigger the tribulation of attaining the Dao. They must have considerable confidence, otherwise, how could they dare to do so?

Many prodigies used various methods to look towards the tribulation in the borderlands, hoping to find out the origin of the person undergoing the tribulation.

The next moment, a burst of solar divine power erupted, instantly illuminating the entire human realm. The supreme imperial might filled the universe, plunging the world into an unprecedented awe.

"This...this...it's the Sun Emperor! How is this possible? The Sun Emperor has also returned against all odds?"
