The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 248 Heavenly Emperor's Dojo
This chaotic little world will give birth to countless rare and precious materials. The Nine Great Immortal Golds, Chaos Stones, and Divine Medicines are not to be underestimated, but they are certainly not uncommon. There might even be an elixir of immortality inside, making its value immeasurable.

The Empress, in particular, couldn't help but show a hint of joy upon hearing the news about the Chaotic Small World.

After all, she's not exactly wealthy now; a chaotic little world would be enough to make her rich overnight.

The bronze palace floated in the Empress's palm, and a hazy consciousness appeared, as if it were telling some message.

"You mean that small world is shrouded by a great formation, and even you can't set foot in it?"

Soon, the Empress understood what the Bronze Immortal Palace wanted to convey.

Although it discovered a small world in the chaos, it was shrouded by a terrifying array, and even with the Bronze Immortal Palace unleashing its full power, it was unable to enter the small world of chaos.

Only through the overwhelming array could one vaguely sense the presence of nine immortal metals, traces of some divine medicines, and even a trace of longevity substances.

As for whether there was any trace of the elixir of immortality, it did not find any.

However, for the Empress, even without the elixir of immortality, the nine immortal treasures alone were worth trying.

She was also very curious about the great formation that blocked the Bronze Immortal Palace. Even with the Bronze Immortal Palace unleashing its full power, surpassing even ordinary Dao Proving cultivators by several levels, it still failed to shake the formation.

This kind of formation was something the Empress had seen before, on the ancient star of the primordial world. It was set up by the Underworld Lord in the past, and she personally crippled him.

The next moment, the Empress put away the bronze immortal palace in her hand and continued to advance into the depths of chaos.

In the vast chaos, as far as the eye can see, there are boundless chaotic currents. These chaotic currents are not peaceful; they are extremely violent and can form all kinds of overwhelming chaotic tides and chaotic storms.

Ordinary cultivators who venture into the depths of chaos will be torn apart in an instant; it is extremely dangerous.

But as a hazy figure appeared, the previously raging chaotic energy immediately subsided, and various chaotic calamities dissipated one after another.

As the Empress continued to travel through the chaos, she became increasingly distant from the human realm, and her connection to the Heavenly Heart Mark grew ever more blurred.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, their strength would plummet after losing the blessing of the Heavenly Heart Mark.

However, the Empress felt that after losing the Heavenly Heart Mark, she was more at ease, as if she had been freed from shackles and felt much more relaxed.

"Is the Heavenly Heart Mark a shackle? No wonder none of those who have attained enlightenment have been able to hold onto the Heavenly Heart Mark for long." The Empress pondered.

She could clearly feel that without the constraints of the Heavenly Heart Mark, her strength not only did not decline, but became even more harmonious and was no longer subject to the various limitations of heaven and earth.

Although the Heavenly Heart Mark can amplify the strength of those who attain enlightenment, it is ultimately a product of the human realm, and its explanation of the myriad paths is too one-sided and lacks depth.

Holding the Heavenly Heart Mark for a long time will inevitably create constraints on the myriad paths of heaven and earth in the human realm, making it difficult for the cultivator to fully unleash their talents.

Only then did the Empress understand why those who embarked on the path to immortality in ancient history rarely occupied the Heavenly Heart Mark for long.

Besides the fact that the transformation process is not safe, the Heavenly Heart Mark is also a major factor. For beings who embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world, the Heavenly Heart Mark is already a burden that needs to be lightened to move forward.

"Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to get rid of the Heavenly Heart Mark!"

With this in mind, the Empress simply severed her connection with the Heavenly Heart Mark.

At the same time, the moment the Empress made her move, the Heavenly Heart Mark could no longer sense her aura and immediately began to dissipate, with an aura of Dao Transformation spreading from the sky throughout the universe.

In an instant, the entire human realm learned of the Devouring Emperor's fall, and was plunged into an uproar.

"This...this can't be right. The Devouring Emperor has just lived for over ten thousand years in her second life. Judging from her lifespan in her first life, she should have lived for at least another ten thousand years. How could she suddenly perish?" A powerful figure looked up at the sky in disbelief.

This situation is very strange. Not long ago, the Heavenly Heart Mark was indestructible, but in the blink of an eye, it collapsed. The speed was unprecedented.

Especially now that it has only been a little over ten thousand years since the Devouring Emperor lived her second life, even if the Devouring Emperor lived her second life with the Elixir of Immortality, her lifespan could not be so short.

However, the reality was completely unexpected. The Empress's Heavenly Heart Mark suddenly collapsed, and the period of suppression of the Great Dao had arrived.

However, some people were overjoyed and couldn't wait to celebrate.

"With the fall of the Devouring Emperor, isn't this the perfect opportunity to purge the Devouring Demonic Cult?"

"Indeed, the Devouring Heaven Demonic Cult, relying on the support of the current emperor, has acted with impunity throughout the universe, slaughtering countless lives. They should not be allowed to exist in this world!"

"Well said. It's time for us to uproot this cancer in the world and restore a bright and clear world to it."

In an instant, public sentiment was aroused, and countless people jumped out to enumerate the crimes of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect, wishing they could immediately launch a purge and eliminate it as soon as possible.

How many of them are sincere and how many are just taking advantage of the situation is unknown.

After all, the Devouring Heaven Demonic Cult had ruled the world for over 30,000 years, and due to its modus operandi, it had encroached on the interests of too many forces, forging deep-seated hatreds with various factions. Previously, because the Devouring Heaven Emperor was still alive, the major forces had no choice but to bow their heads and act subserviently, swallowing their grievances.

But now that the Devouring Emperor has fallen, how could they continue to be subservient? This is their best opportunity for revenge, and at the same time, they can divide up this great power that rules the universe.

Whether from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of ancestral blood feuds, they have no reason to let go of the Devouring Heaven Sect.

"It's not necessarily a fatal accident. Perhaps the Devouring Emperor has made great progress on the path to immortality in the mortal world and has removed the Heavenly Heart Mark." Someone shook their head, believing that the possibility of the Devouring Emperor having an accident was very small.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's hearts.

The Devouring Emperor was no ordinary Daoist; his talent was rare throughout history. He may have embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world, and it is not necessarily true that he perished.

If they were to actually go to their doorstep and find that the Devouring Emperor was still in the mortal realm, wouldn't that be tantamount to courting death? For a moment, everyone began to have second thoughts.

"That's right. This situation is not without precedent. Those who have embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world will remove their Heavenly Heart Mark when they have sufficient strength, so as not to block the path of those who come after them."

"The Killing Emperor was like this back then, and the Xuan Chen Emperor and the Immortal Phoenix Emperor before him were the same."

"The only thing that is surprising is that the Devouring Emperor has only been practicing for a little over 30,000 years, yet he has already reached this level. He is truly admirable and awe-inspiring."

More and more people realized that the probability of the Devouring Emperor's demise was very small. After all, the emperor's deeds were too legendary, and he could be considered one of the best among all the Dao-proving beings in history.

However, although the major powers did not quite believe that the Devouring Emperor had fallen, their actions spoke louder than words. They continued to put pressure on the Devouring Sect, and various parties launched attacks to suppress them.

Especially as time went by, the actions of various forces gradually became more aggressive. After discovering that the Devouring Emperor had not shown up, the various forces became even more ruthless.

Finally, on a dark and stormy night, the Devouring Heaven Sect was attacked by a coalition of major powers and wiped out on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, with only a few people escaping.

Thus, the Devouring Heaven Sect, which ruled the world, followed in the footsteps of the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Although the Devouring Heaven Sect was wiped out, the situation on Earth did not stabilize; instead, it became increasingly chaotic, with remnants of the Devouring Heaven Sect wreaking havoc in every corner and slaughtering countless lives.

In chaos.

A strange light appeared ahead, and then a vast small world appeared in the Empress's eyes.

The area was shrouded in an unparalleled array, with countless Dao runes interwoven, exuding a terrifying aura.

Through the array, one can see a dazzling little world, where the essence of heaven and earth rains down, rare and exotic beasts abound, and the Nine Heavens Divine Jade is as common as any other object; it is not exactly everywhere, but it is not too rare either.

Occasionally, one can see a few divine herbs, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

The Empress also sensed a trace of immortality from the small world, which made her blood and energy more active.

"What a wonderful immortal land! It's no less impressive than the forbidden zone of life on the ancient star of the Big Dipper!" The Empress exclaimed in admiration as she looked at the chaotic miniature world before her.

This small world is very rich, with treasures shining brightly. Even the lowest quality items are materials for refining legendary holy weapons, and there are also many of the nine kinds of immortal gold.

In particular, the amount of longevity substances in the small world is enough to allow several Dao Provers to live a second life, making it far more precious than the elixir of immortality.

boom!
The Empress unleashed a palm strike, showering down a rain of light that instantly spread across the chaos like celestial flowers. Carrying the power of immortals, it transformed into a vast and boundless sea of ​​immortals, attempting to break through the supreme formation.

This is the Flying Immortal Technique, a killing technique created by the Empress, whose killing power is unparalleled in the world.

In the hazy rain of light, it seemed as if a figure was ascending to heaven, carrying the power of countless immortals, and charging towards that chaotic little world.

The Empress's aura was too strong; even a Dao Proving cultivator would tremble before her.

Unlike before, this time she truly unleashed her full power, directly using her forbidden killing move.

Rumble!
Sensing the Empress's aura, the supreme formation was also completely awakened, and the entire formation boiled over, with endless Dao runes intertwining and a powerful aura engulfing the chaos.

The next moment, an extremely blurry figure was manifested by the great formation. He was peerless and terrifying, and all the laws of heaven and earth bowed before him, as if his supreme power was descending to suppress the past, present and future.

Just by standing there, it inspires no resistance.

Swish!
With a gentle wave of his hand, the hazy figure vanished without a trace, and the rain of light in the sky was instantly extinguished.

"The Supreme Heavenly Emperor? This is his Daoist temple?"

The Empress's pupils contracted sharply as she recognized the origin of the blurry figure, whose aura was remarkably similar to that of the fragment in her hand.
