The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 232 The cause of the past, the effect of today

"Your ability to take human form is also a stroke of luck for you." The Thai king waved his hand, signaling the green-clad youth to stand up.

As a being of the Celestial King level, even a weed could become a rare treasure if it only touched a wisp of his aura, let alone a celestial root like the Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree.

"You've come at just the right time. The suppression of the Underworld Lord's Great Dao has just dissipated, and the Heavenly Heart Mark has become available again. Now it's your time to shine."

The Thai King highly values ​​the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree. This immortal root is extraordinary, naturally controlling all paths and in harmony with heaven and earth, making it a chaotic entity among immortal roots.

Once he successfully attains enlightenment, he will undoubtedly become unimaginably powerful. Coupled with his talent for comprehending the Dao, he is also a promising candidate for immortality in the mortal world.

"I will not fail the Immortal King's expectations after I attain enlightenment. I will serve the Immortal King again after I have achieved enlightenment." The green-clad youth bowed deeply, bid farewell to the Emperor, and resolutely stepped out of the Undying Mountain.

"The flowers bloom the same every year, but the people are different year after year." The King of Thailand sighed as he watched the departing figure of the boy in green.

Since he took up residence at the Undying Mountain, approximately 300,000 years have passed in the human world. During this time, seven enlightened beings have emerged, one after another.

If this were in the past, over 300,000 years, at least ten enlightened beings would have been born.

However, since the Heavenly Emperor began to give back to the human world, the quality of those who attain enlightenment has become increasingly higher, and each of them is able to stay in the human world for a long time.

This is only because the two Holy Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, voluntarily gave up the Heavenly Heart Mark, and the Underworld Lord only lived one lifetime; otherwise, this number would have decreased further.

The next moment, the Thai king closed his eyes again, no longer paying attention to worldly affairs.

Decades later, a young man in green stepped into the starry sky, holding a strangely shaped precious tree in his hand, and forcefully entered the ancient starry road.

At first, this prodigy didn't attract much attention, and people thought he was just an ordinary genius. But with each clash, this prodigy rose to prominence at an incredible speed.

His peers, the most talented of their generation, were left far behind, their backs completely obscured. Even the older generation of prodigies were not spared, most falling victim to this one.

In particular, this prodigy's moves were imbued with the harmony of all the principles of heaven and earth, making him exceptionally extraordinary. Such a characteristic is rumored to be possessed only by one type of physique: the legendary Chaos Body.

Soon, news of the emergence of the Chaos Entity spread throughout the world, attracting the attention of countless people.

The Chaos Entity has only appeared once in history, but its glorious achievements are still sung about by people even after countless years.

In the mythological era, a Chaos Body that had not yet reached its full potential actually managed to defeat an ancient Celestial Venerable at his peak, truly possessing complete Imperial Battle Power before attaining the Dao, and allowing the world to experience the terrifying power of a Chaos Body for the first time.

Since then, countless people have hailed the Chaotic Body as the number one physique in the human world and have devoted themselves to its research. Unfortunately, over the endless years, no genius or Dao-proving expert has been known to have made any significant progress in its research.

Unexpectedly, in this era, a being resembling a chaotic entity has emerged, naturally attracting the attention of countless people.

These people include not only the prodigies on the path to becoming emperors, but also some old relics from extreme forces.

For them, if they could capture the Chaos Body alive and then study its secrets, they might even be able to transform themselves into the Chaos Body.

Even if someone else proves their Dao first, they can still rely on the characteristics of the Chaos Body to obtain the Chaos Emperor Throne. The attraction of this is too great, and no one is willing to give it up.

Soon after, the competition for the Emperor's Path took a completely different turn. Nearly 90% of the geniuses in the entire human realm united to besiege the green-robed youth.

Even those powerful forces have ancient figures emerging, intending to personally intervene with their supreme imperial weapons.

Such an action was certainly beyond the original intent of the struggle for the Emperor's Path. On that day, accompanied by a powerful and resounding sword cry, the world trembled and the universe was overturned. All the supreme imperial weapons that were used were cleaved in two.

Of course, only the immortal sword left behind by the Heavenly Emperor could achieve this level of skill.

Not long after, a message came from the ancient star Tianji.

The use of ultimate imperial weapons is prohibited in this competition for the Emperor's Path. If such a violation occurs again, the Chu family will take action and personally eliminate any ultimate forces involved.

The moment this news broke, the entire human realm erupted in chaos, and the number of experts hunting down the green-clad youth increased rather than decreased. After all, the Chu family had only stated that Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons were not allowed to be used, but they hadn't said that the major powerhouses couldn't intervene.

For a time, the green-robed prodigy, who was suspected to be of the Chaos Body, found himself surrounded by enemies. Some powerful forces even offered to give him a flawless Great Saint Weapon on the spot, as long as he had accurate information about the green-robed prodigy.

The scale of the project is astonishing.

The effect was naturally surprisingly good. No matter where the green-clad prodigy went, people recognized his origins, which once drove him to the brink of despair.

Just when the world thought it was all over, what happened next far exceeded their expectations.

The green-clad prodigy not only did not perish under the pursuit and interception of the world, but instead fought with increasing ferocity, advancing triumphantly and killing everyone in the world.

In just a few hundred years, this green-robed prodigy reached the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, his growth rate even surpassing that of the former Immortal Phoenix Emperor by a factor of three. Upon reaching this level, the green-robed prodigy immediately began his journey of revenge. He went to every force that had previously attacked him, settling scores and settling all scores.

He dared to storm into even the strongholds of extreme forces alone.

Faced with a formidable enemy coming to their door, those extreme forces disregarded the Chu family's warning and focused all their efforts on reviving their extreme imperial weapons and imperial formations, intending to completely suppress the green-clad prodigy.

Unfortunately, they greatly underestimated the terrifying power of this prodigy. Even the fully revived Supreme Emperor Weapon could only withstand a few moves in his hands before being completely destroyed.

Over the next few decades, the Green-Clad Prodigy's footprints covered the entire universe, settling scores with those who had attacked him in the past.

Blood completely enveloped the world, and countless lives perished in this turmoil. Cries of agony and weeping echoed throughout the universe, never ceasing.

Some people have sought help from the Chu family, hoping that the Chu family could step in and stop the Green-Clad Prodigy's unbridled slaughter.

However, the ancient star Tianji only uttered one sentence: "The cause of yesterday is the effect of today."

Later, some people have calculated that during that period, more than 70% of the major forces were destroyed by the Green-Clad Prodigy, and even several extreme forces were destroyed. At least 10% of the living beings in the world perished at the hands of the Green-Clad Prodigy.

Such losses far surpass even the dark turmoil of ancient times.

The edge of the universe.

On a desolate, dead star, a green-clad prodigy sat cross-legged. He still looked like a young man, and his every move was in harmony with the myriad principles of heaven and earth. His aura was extraordinary and otherworldly. The immaturity in his eyes had completely faded, leaving only a deep and mysterious look.

Over the centuries, he made many friends, but after he revealed his unique talent, most of these friends chose to betray him.

Several close friends refused to betray him, but were instead implicated, and even their relatives were not spared.

After the green-clad prodigy grew up, he naturally showed no mercy, taking revenge on his former enemies a thousandfold, which could be considered as avenging them.

"All grudges have ended; it is time to trigger the great tribulation of enlightenment."

Decades ago, the green-clad youth could have triggered a great tribulation to achieve enlightenment, but he didn't rush to do so.

If one does not settle the karmic debts before attaining enlightenment, a pent-up anger will accumulate in his heart, making his thoughts impossible to understand.

That's why he spared no effort to make his Dao heart pure and flawless.

boom!
The next moment, an unparalleled aura burst forth from the green-clad prodigy, illuminating the world with heavenly light. The terrifying aura spread throughout the universe, instantly triggering a response from heaven and earth.

Rumble!
Boundless light of tribulation began to converge, and the aura of the great tribulation of attaining enlightenment shook the heavens and earth, attracting the attention of countless people.

"Hiss, this killing star has finally stopped killing and is beginning to trigger the tribulation of attaining enlightenment."

A powerful figure trembled involuntarily as he gazed at the green-clad figure on the edge of the universe. This prodigy was truly different from before; his killing intent was far too intense. Back then, almost no one who participated in the encirclement and kill had escaped unscathed.

Under his rule, the entire human realm was plunged into chaos and despair.

"Tch, you can't blame anyone else for this. Since you've been eyeing other people's physiques, you should be prepared to be retaliated against."

"If you ask me, that person wasn't ruthless enough. They only slaughtered the cultivators, without eradicating all the mortals as well!"

Some people scoffed, agreeing with the green-clad prodigy's approach. In fact, his idea was even more radical, aiming to eliminate even the most powerless mortals.

"I wonder what kind of physique this prodigy has. He actually has characteristics similar to the Chaos Physique. Judging from this, his performance is no less than that of the Chaos Physique. Could it be that another top-tier physique has been born in the world?"

After years of fighting, all living beings in the world have come to understand that the Green-Clad Prodigy's physique is not the Chaotic Physique, but a completely new one.

This physique also has similar characteristics to the Chaos Physique, capable of drawing the myriad paths of heaven and earth into harmony. In particular, the performance of this prodigy has vividly demonstrated the power of this physique.

"Could it be the Chu family's Overlord Immortal Body? It is rumored that the Overlord Immortal Body is also extraordinary, and it is an improvement on the Overlord Body. Even if it is not as good as the Chaos Body, it is probably not far off."

However, these words were met with opposition from the world as soon as they were spoken.

"Impossible. The performance of the Overlord Immortal Body is different from that of this prodigy. My ancestor witnessed Emperor Xuan Chen's tribulation and left behind some footage, which is completely different from that of this prodigy."

“That’s right. Although I have never seen the Overlord Immortal Body, our clan is very familiar with the Chu family. I was unable to sense the Chu family’s bloodline aura on this prodigy.”
