The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 246 The Transformation Ground of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor

"It's hard to tell!"

"Although the Devouring Emperor did not obtain the elixir of immortality, her talent is unparalleled throughout history. She was able to create the supreme immortal scripture of transforming into a chaotic body on her own. Her first life may not be her end."

The people who heard this were all silent. Although the Devouring Emperor was ruthless and infamous among the people, his talent was indeed rare throughout history.

With a body of utter weakness, he broke through the path to immortality by "eating people," created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, transformed into a chaotic body, and defied the heavens to prove his Dao. This was unprecedented in ancient history and was destined to be remembered for eternity.

Perhaps because the Devouring Emperor had committed too many killings, although he defied the heavens to attain enlightenment, he did not receive the favor of the Elixir of Immortality, and it seems that he could not even forge an Imperial Weapon.

Such a rare enlightened being, even without the elixir of immortality, might still be able to live a second life.

Although the Heavenly Mark above the nine heavens trembled, it did not collapse in the end. After people paid attention to it for a while, they withdrew their attention.

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed, and the Empress's transformation has finally come to an end.

On a desolate mountain.

An old figure sat cross-legged there, his body hunched over, his hair white and dry, without any luster, looking as if he was about to die.

If it weren't for the fact that this old woman still had a faint breath, she would probably have been mistaken for someone who had been dead for a long time.

"almost."

The Empress slowly opened her eyelids, revealing cloudy eyes.

After more than a hundred years, she had used all the essence of the old body's flesh and blood to worship the divine embryo, and the task was now complete.

If one could enter the Empress's body, one would see a radiant halo, with endless rules of heaven and earth surrounding it, demonstrating the ultimate principles of the universe. One could also vaguely see a blurry figure within the halo, which was the divine fetus that the Empress had painstakingly nurtured.

The next moment, the Empress's aura vanished instantly, and she seemed to die completely, her head drooping down.

In an instant, the entire desolate mountain fell into complete silence, and time seemed to stand still.

After an unknown amount of time, the aged body suddenly emitted a soft sound.

click!
Kaka!

The sound grew louder and louder, and the next moment, a hideous crack opened up from behind the old man's body, as if some creature was about to crawl out from inside.

On this desolate mountain, abandoned by time, strange sounds kept coming, which seemed extremely frightening.

Finally, a jade hand emerged from the crack, followed by another jade hand, and then a graceful body stepped out of the crack.

She was an extremely beautiful woman, beyond description, exuding an aura of unparalleled elegance, and surrounded by the harmony of heaven and earth.

The Empress habitually took out a ghost mask, concealing her stunningly beautiful face and revealing only a pair of cold eyes that inspired fear in those who looked upon her.

"This is the Flawless Chaos Body. It is indeed much stronger than the previous one," the Empress murmured to herself.

She could feel that after this transformation, not only had her Chaotic Body become completely perfect and many of her human body's portals been opened, but her strength had also made a significant progress, far surpassing her first life.

She was especially satisfied with the lifespan of the flawless chaotic body; a rough estimate suggested it could easily live past 30,000 years.

For the Empress, this was the best news imaginable.

After all, she learned from Emperor Xuan Chen that both similar flowers and becoming an Immortal Emperor require a long wait, and the longer one's lifespan, the greater the hope.

Ideally, she should become a celestial being in the mortal world, so that she can pursue both paths.

This is where the importance of lifespan becomes apparent. The longer one lives, the more time one has to study the path to immortality in the mortal world, and the greater the probability of succeeding.

Previously, in the human realm, the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor and the Divine Emperor who achieved the status of a Red Dust Immortal were all extremely rare special physiques or beings.

The former was the Heavenly Overlord Body that proved its Dao, and later, based on the Overlord Body, it went a step further, achieving the Overlord Immortal Body, and finally even mastering Yin and Yang, transforming into the Chaos Body. The Taiyi Heavenly Emperor has a very long lifespan in each of his incarnations, and is the first being in the human realm since the mythological era to be confirmed as a Red Dust Immortal.

The latter attained enlightenment through the Divine Silkworm. This race is similar to the Feathered Body, greatly enhancing its potential with each transformation, especially the Divine Emperor, who underwent nine transformations to become an Emperor and ten transformations to surpass all ages. People speculate that this Divine Emperor may have completed eleven transformations before becoming a Mortal Immortal.

These two beings who achieved the status of immortals in the mortal world both had extremely long lifespans.

It is rare to hear of ordinary cultivators living multiple lifetimes, not because they do not wish to, but because their lifespan is limited and they are unable to research the method of transformation.

Or perhaps their method of transformation has major problems and a high probability of failure, all due to the urgency of the situation.

The Empress wanted to walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, so the longer her lifespan, the better, as it would give her more room for maneuver. "This old body cannot be wasted either. It is, after all, a Chaos Body. Even if it has flaws, it is still stronger than ordinary immortal metal and can be used to forge a powerful supreme imperial weapon." The Empress focused her gaze on her body from her previous life, intending to refine it into a supreme imperial weapon.

Her first life was very unlucky. Just as people guessed, she seemed to be disliked by heaven and earth. Not to mention the elixir of immortality, she didn't even obtain a single piece of the nine immortal golds.

Before she attained enlightenment, although she had defeated all the world's heroes, many of their weapons contained immortal gold, but she had shattered most of them, making it quite troublesome to extract the immortal gold.

In addition, she was focused on researching the method of reverse transformation, so she temporarily put it aside.

Now that the Empress has lived her second life, not only has her strength greatly increased, but her lifespan has also been greatly extended. Naturally, she put the matter of refining the ultimate imperial weapon on the agenda, so she set her sights on her old body from her previous life.

Even ordinary cultivators can forge supreme imperial weapons from their physical bodies, let alone those who have attained enlightenment through chaotic bodies. Perhaps only rare immortal materials such as immortal gold that have awakened the profound mysteries of origin can compare to them.

Moreover, since the old body and she are of the same origin, it would be easy for him to refine it into an ultimate imperial weapon, which would also be of great help to her.

With this in mind, the Empress stopped hesitating. The Supreme God Fire appeared, enveloping her old body and refining it into a dark pottery jar.

In the years that followed, the empress handed the pottery jar over to the descendants of the small mountain village, while she continued her ascetic practices on the barren mountain.

The descendants who obtained the pottery jar were overjoyed. Although they had previously established the Devouring Heaven Sect, there was no supreme imperial weapon in the sect. If it weren't for the Devouring Heaven Emperor in power, they would probably be at a disadvantage when facing other supreme forces.

At this moment, obtaining the Emperor's weapon from the Devouring Emperor undoubtedly fills the last gap in becoming an extreme power.

With the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar in hand, the Devouring Heaven Sect became increasingly reckless. Originally, they were somewhat hesitant when facing other extreme forces, but with the Extreme Emperor Weapon in their possession, they were no longer afraid and even dared to take the initiative to ambush and kill the geniuses of extreme forces.

The major powers in the mortal realm dared not speak out against the Devouring Emperor's rule and forcibly suppressed their anger.

It is foreseeable that once the Devouring Emperor passes away in the mortal realm, the Devouring Sect will likely face immediate backlash.

The Devouring Heaven Sect was well aware of the malice of the various extreme forces, but instead of showing any restraint, they intensified their actions.

After all, putting everything else aside, the grudges between the Devouring Emperor and the ancestors of the various sects alone meant that they would not be easily let go after the Emperor's fall, and an earth-shattering war was bound to happen sooner or later.

Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the Emperor's reign and slaughter all the geniuses in the world? On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the enemy's potential, and on the other hand, it might even produce another genius who has mastered the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

However, the latter possibility is too small. Many members of the Devouring Heaven Sect are powerless after devouring a thousand kinds of origins. Not to mention having a flawed Chaos Body, they have not even been able to cultivate some of the characteristics of a Chaos Body.

And so, the human realm remained in chaos, with blood permeating the entire world. Despite being the reign of the current emperor, the level of chaos surpassed even the Great Dao War.

The Empress, however, paid no attention and continued her arduous cultivation on the desolate mountain. In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years had passed.

After the Empress, a being of the Heavenly Emperor level, went into seclusion for a long time, the originally barren mountain had become extraordinary. The rocks and plants were all radiant with light, and any one of them was enough to forge a legendary holy weapon.

One day, the Empress suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, as if a great opportunity was about to arrive.

Chi!
In an instant, the peerless empress opened her eyelids and looked into the depths of the universe. Just moments ago, while she was comprehending the myriad paths, a peculiar aura suddenly emanated from her, seemingly guiding her.

"Go and see!"

The Empress was very confident in herself. Although she had only lived her second life, she had been a chaotic being in both lives and had already traveled a certain distance on the path to immortality in the mortal world. There were not many living beings in the human world worthy of her attention.

Most importantly, she didn't feel any danger from that feeling; it was as if it were a great opportunity, which was the real reason she decided to go there.

In an instant, the empress's figure disappeared from the desolate mountain and soared into the vast starry sky.

In the dazzling sea of ​​stars, nine enormous dragon corpses traversed the universe. Each dragon corpse was about a hundred meters long, its body as black as ink, as if cast from molten iron. An aura of endless desolation and antiquity emanated from them, as if they had endured countless years.

Each of the nine dragon corpses was tied to a thick iron chain, and behind them was a giant bronze coffin about twenty meters long, constantly traveling through the universe.

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin, it's actually this?"

The empress's figure appeared from the void, and she looked at the giant bronze coffin in front of her with a surprised expression.

There are countless legends about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. Some say that immortals are buried in the bronze coffin, some say that the bronze coffin is a treasure left behind by immortals in the human world, and some say that the bronze coffin is the last paradise on earth.

But regardless of the circumstances, one thing is certain: from ancient times to the present, it seems that no living being has ever entered the interior of the bronze coffin, not even the Dao-proving beings of this era, who could not even get close.

However, when the Empress stepped into the bronze coffin, the scene before her eyes overturned her understanding.

"This is... where the Supreme Heavenly Emperor once underwent a transformation?"
