The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 227 Duan De Reappears
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and the Great Dao of Amitabha Buddha began to dissipate, no longer suppressing the human realm.

As heaven and earth began to revive, the essence of heaven and earth in the various life-source areas began to rise, giving birth to all kinds of powerful physiques.

This is a brand new era. The imprint of the old emperor's great path has faded, and the throne of the new emperor still hangs high in the heavens, awaiting his new master.

Countless prodigies emerged from various life-source areas, embarking on brutal battles in an attempt to achieve ultimate victory.

During this period, a major event also occurred. The two Holy Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, realizing that the path to immortality in the mortal world was blocked, chose to go to a strange world to continue their arduous cultivation.

Neither of them felt any reluctance. With the Thai King overseeing the situation, there was no chance of any accidents, so they left with peace of mind.

However, not many people know about this. Apart from the Thai King, only a very small number of high-ranking members of the two major religions know that the two holy emperors seem to have left the mortal world, but they do not know where they went.

Chu Tianshu intentionally concealed the news about the strange world. The conditions in this world were too good, enough for an Supreme Being to easily live for over a million years, and the difficulty of entering and leaving was not great.

If news of the strange world were to become known to future generations, it would cause those who seek enlightenment in later generations to begin to waver and make unfavorable choices.

After all, the risk of reversing the cycle of life and death is too high. If you are not careful, you may die and your life may be lost. The success rate is relatively low.

Knowing about the existence of strange worlds increases hesitation when facing life and death, making one afraid to take the final step.

Perhaps the geniuses who could have lived a third or even more lifetimes placed their hopes on the strange world and missed the right path.

This could easily lead to a narrower and narrower path for those who seek enlightenment in later generations, and might even affect the three Heavenly Emperors of later generations.

This was not the outcome Chu Tianshu wanted to see, so he deliberately concealed the news about the strange world.

Unless it is someone like the two Holy Emperors of Taiyin and Taiyang, who are truly unable to continue their transformation in the human world, he will not reveal the existence of the strange world.

Deep in the universe.

On a certain desolate star, the place was lifeless and devoid of any vitality, as if it were a forgotten world.

Just then, a sudden and dramatic change occurred on the star. Thick, dark clouds shrouded the sky and earth, a fierce wind howled, and faint sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling could be heard, as if some great upheaval was about to happen.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the entire tomb exploded, engulfing everything in smoke and dust. A blurry figure appeared and disappeared in the mist.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah... I'm going to choke to death, you damned Heavenly Venerable!"

A series of curses rang out, and then a fat Taoist priest leaped up from the graveyard.

He first sensed the heavens and earth, wanting to determine whether there was a great emperor in the world at that time.

"The Reincarnation Method is good in every way, except that it is too tedious. You can't decide when you will awaken, and it's easy to run into the era when the current enlightened one is in the world."

The inability to control his own awakening time is the biggest drawback of the Reincarnation Law. Many times when he was born, there were already enlightened beings occupying the Heavenly Heart Mark. Helpless, Duan De had no choice but to choose a slightly less desirable alternative path to enlightenment.

In his previous life, he could have achieved the ultimate Dao fruit as well, but his disciples almost caused a great disaster in the mortal world, and even bullied the weak and targeted the descendants of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor.

Duan De felt ashamed, so in his previous life, he did not choose to attain enlightenment and instead gave the throne to Chu Shanhe.

Soon, Duan De began to grin and laugh, his laughter extremely lewd.

"Hehehe, damn Heavenly Venerable, I'm lucky this time. I just got born and the Golden Age has begun. I can finally attain the ultimate Dao fruit."

"If I can also attain enlightenment in this life, then my path to immortality in the mortal world will soon come to an end. If all goes well, I will definitely be able to collect all nine reincarnation seals and achieve the Dao fruit of nine lifetimes within one or two million years."

A hint of surprise flashed in Duan De's eyes. If he could achieve perfect cultivation in this life, he would possess the Dao Fruit of Six Incarnations, and only three lifetimes would remain before he could traverse the Immortal Path of the Mortal World.

At the same time, information from the human realm over the past hundreds of thousands of years flooded into Duan De's sea of ​​consciousness like a tidal wave.

"The Supreme Heavenly Emperor has become an immortal?"

Duan De was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that all of this was perfectly normal.

Back then, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor had already successfully transformed into a Chaos Body, completing half of the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World. Given his intelligence and the cruelty of the transformation path, it was quite normal for him to achieve Immortality in the Mortal World after so many years, and Duan De was not surprised.

But the next moment, the news that the God Emperor had become a Mortal Immortal left him completely stunned.

"The God Emperor has also become a Mortal Immortal? No, where did the God Emperor come from? Didn't he pass away long ago? Now you're telling me that the God Emperor suddenly appeared, directly triggering the light of immortality and becoming a Mortal Immortal?"

Duan De was somewhat bewildered. He was well aware of the power of the God Emperor; the fact that he had been able to maintain his power for 100,000 years was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this ancient emperor.

However, since the God Emperor passed away, he had never manifested his power in the mortal realm. Now, he suddenly appeared and became an immortal, which Duan De found hard to accept. "Damn it, I never thought there was someone more sinister than me in this mortal world. I've never heard of the God Emperor in all these years, nor have I ever seen a trace of him. He's just too despicable." Duan De kept muttering to himself.

Whether it's him or other beings who choose to transform in the human world, they will all leave some traces in the world, more or less.

However, since his passing, the Divine Emperor has never manifested his divine power in the mortal realm, nor has he ever made a move. Most people believe that he has vanished into the long river of time, including Duan De.

Who knew that his birth would bring such a great shock to the world, making him the second person to be definitively declared an immortal.

Soon, as Duan De continued to receive information from his sea of ​​consciousness, he also gained a general understanding of the changes that had taken place over the past hundreds of thousands of years.

Around 300,000 years ago, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor once again manifested his divine power in the human world, displaying his supreme might and reversing the environment of the entire world, causing his territory to expand tenfold.

Since then, the requirements for those who have attained enlightenment in the human realm have risen rapidly. Ordinary people with the qualifications to attain enlightenment simply cannot survive the great tribulation of becoming an emperor. Every emperor who has attained enlightenment is an extremely powerful being, which is very rare even in ancient history.

A celestial being was born to attain enlightenment, and within a few hundred years, all enemies were defeated. He lived for three lifetimes, spanning ten thousand years, and rivaled the former God Emperor.

The two ancient emperors of the human race, Taiyin and Taiyang, defied the heavens and returned to prove their Dao once again.

Legend has it that an extraordinary genius emerged from the Undying Golden Body, which could rival the Overlord Body, defeating all under heaven, breaking all shackles, and attaining the title of Great Emperor after nine transformations of the Golden Body.

Not to be outdone, the Overlord Body lineage produced another invincible Overlord Body on the ancient star Tianji, forcefully suppressing the mortal realm. Even after failing to break through to the Ultimate Dao realm, after thousands of years of silence, he still defied all doubts and transformed into an Overlord Immortal Body, defying the heavens to prove his Dao.

The previous Amitabha Buddha Emperor was also extraordinary. He forged a path of faith that was unprecedented and unparalleled, creating a paradise on earth and desiring to lead all beings to liberation. He had great ambition.

Most importantly, these individuals may not have perished and are still struggling in the mortal realm.

"Have the requirements for attaining enlightenment in the human realm become so high now?"

After Duan De finished compiling the major events that had occurred in the last few hundred thousand years, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

In the last few hundred thousand years, those who have attained enlightenment have emerged. Not to mention in the present day, even in the ancient history of the entire human world, they are extremely outstanding beings with infinite potential.

"This is truly an era of brilliant stars. It seems that more and more talents are being born in the world, and more geniuses will emerge in the future, and more and more people will achieve immortality in the mortal world."

Duan De couldn't help but sigh. The world was changing so drastically, those who could attain enlightenment were certainly not ordinary people.

As Duan De gazed at the star-studded sky, where countless geniuses were battling it out, hoping to become the rulers of the new era, his passion was ignited, and boundless fighting spirit rose within him once more.

"How could such a wonderful era be complete without my presence?"

The next moment, he severed his own memories and joined the struggle for the Emperor's Path, hoping to obtain the supreme Dao Fruit once again.

Thousands of years later.

The battle at the final imperial pass continues, truly a scene of eagles soaring in the sky, fish swimming in the shallows, and all creatures competing freely under the frosty sky.

Countless geniuses shed their blood under the stars, becoming withered bones by the roadside.

Meanwhile, even more outstanding talents embarked on the ancient path through the starry sky, competing with their predecessors and peers, refusing to back down even a step.

There can only be one emperor, and no prodigy is willing to relinquish it.

At that very moment, a special prodigy stormed into the ancient starry road, defeating many other prodigies and forcing them to retreat in disarray.

Even when numerous prodigies attacked him, he easily deflected their attacks and even killed them in the process.

The reason he is so powerful is that this prodigy is not only strong in his own right, but also has unparalleled mastery of source techniques. With every move he makes, he can use the world to construct an unparalleled formation.

Fighting this prodigy is not just about battling him personally, but also about facing the opposition of an entire world; naturally, no one can rival him.

Since this prodigy was born, in just a few hundred years, no one in the universe has been his match, marking the end of this generation's struggle for the path to the throne.

Rumble!
One day, accompanied by a series of thunderous roars, boundless light gathered at the edge of the universe, its immense power spreading throughout the world and shaking all living beings.

"The Golden Age has only been open for a little over a thousand years, yet there are already geniuses who have defeated all powerful enemies and successfully triggered the great tribulation of enlightenment. They are truly admirable and awe-inspiring."

Some cultivators couldn't help but sigh. They originally thought that this struggle for the throne would last for a long time, but they didn't expect that it would end in just over a thousand years.

"I wonder if this prodigy can withstand the tribulation mark of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, after all, that one is still on Mount Sumeru," a cultivator said quietly, causing a tremor in the hearts of the people present.
