The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 249 The Empress Battles the Heavenly Emperor

The Empress recognized the blurry figure as none other than the renowned Heavenly Emperor Taiyi. To her utter surprise, this chaotic little world was actually the Heavenly Emperor's training ground.

Not long ago, she found the place of the Heavenly Emperor's fourth incarnation's transformation in the mortal realm. Unexpectedly, she then found the Heavenly Emperor's Daoist temple in the chaos.

"But judging from this, the Heavenly Emperor must have been away for a long time," the Empress said thoughtfully.

If the Heavenly Emperor were still alive, he would not have allowed the Bronze Immortal Palace to attack his Daoist temple at will.

According to the Bronze Immortal Palace, it discovered the existence of this chaotic small world hundreds of thousands of years ago, but it was not strong enough and failed to break in despite several attempts.

On the other hand, although the blurry figure revealed by the supreme formation was terrifying, according to the Empress's estimation, it should be the work left by the third Heavenly Emperor, and its aura was similar to the fragment in her hand.

Even so, that blurry figure was still terrifying, its imposing presence no less than his own. No wonder he couldn't break into the Bronze Immortal Palace back then.

Seeing this, the Empress stopped making a move. The Supreme Heavenly Emperor was a legendary figure who had long since achieved the status of a mortal immortal, and she had also received some of his favors.

If they were unaware of this beforehand, it would be one thing, but now that they clearly know this is the former sacred site of the Heavenly Emperor, continuing to attack it seems like repaying kindness with enmity.

If the Heavenly Emperor were to return in the future, he probably wouldn't let her off easily.

Although the Chaos Minor World was wealthy, it wasn't worth her having to confront a legendary Mortal Immortal. With that thought, the Empress withdrew her aura and prepared to depart.

Just as the Empress was about to leave, a majestic voice rang out, causing her to stop in her tracks.

"If you defeat me, this chaotic little world will be yours."

The Empress was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She had originally been prepared to leave, but she did not expect that the spirit of this supreme formation would say such a thing.

However, the Empress was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, she took the initiative to ask, "Can you tell me the reason?"

She was very curious. Each of the nine immortal metals could be used to forge supreme imperial weapons. Legend has it that when the nine immortal metals were combined, they could even forge immortal artifacts. Even an immortal would not be able to ignore immortal artifacts.

There are quite a few of the nine immortal metals in the Chaotic Small World, enough to forge several immortal artifacts. Why would the Heavenly Emperor hand them over to someone else?
"The Heavenly Emperor said, 'Power should not be exhausted, nor should blessings be enjoyed to the fullest.' If our predecessors exhaust all resources, our descendants will surely face great difficulties and will resort to any means necessary to achieve their goals."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor specially left behind the Chaos Small World, as a gift to those destined to reach it in future generations."

"Being able to reach this point proves that you are indeed a destined person, but whether you can completely possess this chaotic small world depends on your own strength," the array spirit explained, its majestic voice resonating in the boundless chaos.

Although Chu Tianshu discovered this chaotic small world, he only took the nine immortal metals needed to refine the Human Emperor Palace and the Immortal Sword, leaving the rest in the small world.

He left this chaotic little world behind, indeed for the sake of future generations.

At that time, the human world was in dire straits, and the entire world was in constant decline. Immortal gold was becoming increasingly scarce. At that time, he was far from becoming a mortal immortal or an immortal king, so he was unable to give back to the world.

So he left this chaotic little world behind for future enlightened beings.

After he became an Immortal King, the human world received a boost, the environment was greatly improved, and various top-grade immortal materials were nurtured once again.

The chaotic miniature world became dispensable, so he stopped paying attention to it.

"I see!"

The Empress nodded slightly. She admired the Heavenly Emperor's magnanimity. No wonder that since the Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, all races had worshipped him as the supreme deity for millions of years without ever slacking off.

This is not only because the Heavenly Emperor made immortals in the mortal world and opened up a new path for people, but also because we admire the Heavenly Emperor's broad-mindedness in treating everyone equally.

The Empress's expression turned solemn. Since this chaotic small world was specially left to future generations by the Heavenly Emperor, she would no longer stand on ceremony.

These celestial treasures were very helpful to her. At the same time, she was also very curious about the Heavenly Emperor's strength and wanted to see what was so special about this legendary Heavenly Emperor.

"Perfect timing! I also want to see just how powerful the Heavenly Emperor was back then!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress's aura surged rapidly, and her terrifying supreme imperial might erupted, instantly sweeping through the chaos, as if time itself had frozen here.

She formed hand seals, and mysterious runes appeared, intertwining laws to construct a hazy, ancient treasure bottle. Wisps of energy descended, as if to devour everything.

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle is a forbidden killing move developed by the Empress. It can contain everything and devour everything, making it an unparalleled offensive technique that is no less powerful than the Flying Immortal Technique.

Since its creation, it has rarely had the opportunity to appear in the mortal world. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to fight the Heavenly Emperor, she can see the power of this killing technique.

"go with!"

In an instant, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle flew out from the Empress's head, transforming into a sky-covering entity that devoured endless existence. It seemed that everything tangible and intangible in the entire chaos was about to be completely swallowed up by it.

Seeing the Empress's fierce approach, the spirit of the formation immediately showed no mercy. With a flick of his right hand, endless Dao principles converged and transformed into a radiant immortal sword.

Tear! A dazzling celestial light shone in the chaos, and an unparalleled sword beam appeared, tearing apart everything in its path and slashing straight at the Empress and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle above her head.

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle naturally sensed the threat as well. Layer upon layer of light curtains descended, each capable of easily withstanding the attacks of those who had attained the Dao. These layers protected the Great Dao Treasure Bottle and the Empress within them.

Rumble!
The peerless sword light struck the light screen, unleashing a deafening roar, its radiance spreading as if illuminating the entire chaotic miniature world.

"not good!"

The Empress's expression was solemn. In the blink of an eye, the layers upon layers of light were cleaved into pieces by the peerless sword light. The power of the sword light was immense; if it had truly struck her, even if her true form was a chaotic entity, she would likely have suffered severe injuries.

She dared not be careless, and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a burst of celestial light as she continuously poured her magical power into the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

In an instant, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle shone brightly, and the originally dim light screen instantly brightened. Countless Dao principles intertwined, flickering under the attack of the peerless sword light, but ultimately it managed to barely withstand the attack.

"With one thought, flowers bloom and you rule the world!"

Having gained a brief respite, the Empress did not hesitate and immediately unleashed her supreme offensive techniques once again.

In the next moment, dazzling celestial flowers appeared in the chaos. Each one seemed to be the embodiment of the Great Dao, shining brilliantly. It was an absolutely beautiful scene, a sight that did not belong to the mortal world.

However, behind this dazzling beauty lies immense killing intent. Each flower of the Great Dao can be transformed into a supreme killing technique, its power no less than that of the true body casting it personally.

Faced with such unparalleled offensive techniques, no one dared to underestimate them.

The formation stirred, wielding its immortal sword, its entire body radiating immortal light, carrying overwhelming killing intent, tearing through the chaos, and charging towards the Empress's true form.

With each swing of the immortal sword, a celestial flower withers, transforming into endless rain of light that falls, creating boundless phenomena in the chaos.

Rumble!
The great battle erupted completely, and the entire chaos seemed about to explode. Endless radiance burst forth from the battlefield, illuminating the boundless chaos.

The Great Dao roared, laws intertwined, and the entire Chaos trembled. Ripples spilled from the battlefield, annihilating everything in their path.

Their battle was terrifying. One was a supreme empress with two lifetimes of chaotic essence and unparalleled talent throughout history, while the other was able to manifest a portion of the power of the Heavenly Emperor from back then.

If they were on Earth, their battle would be enough to shatter the universe and annihilate countless stars and living beings.

In the midst of their battle, chaos vanished, and all tangible things were obliterated. Had the chaotic miniature world not been shrouded by an unparalleled array, it would likely have ceased to exist as well.

Even so, the Chaotic Small World suffered a great calamity. The sky was torn apart, the earth was overturned, and many divine materials were reduced to dust.

However, the two of them couldn't care less about it at this moment and started fighting with all their might again.

"Flying Immortal Technique, Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, Divine Crossing Technique, One Thought Blossoms, Reigning Supreme..."

The Empress stood tall amidst the chaos, her beauty unparalleled, like a celestial being descended to earth. With her hands flying, she unleashed one terrifying attack after another, a total of nine, which transformed into a supreme celestial light, striking towards the array spirit.

She once imitated the secret techniques of the Nine Heavenly Venerables and created nine peerless killing moves. The combination of the nine killing moves was no less powerful than the combination of the nine secret techniques.

Chi!
The supreme immortal light illuminated the chaos, tearing everything apart. Even the myriad paths of heaven and earth collapsed under the immortal light, plunging all things into a great end, annihilating all existence, and fiercely crashing towards the array spirit.

Rumble!
Another earth-shattering collision occurred, its aftershocks rippled outwards, shattering endless chaos, and causing all the laws of heaven and earth to wail incessantly, constantly collapsing under the onslaught of the two.

But as time passed, the blurry figure grew dimmer and dimmer, as if it might disappear at any moment.

"Is the spirit array about to give up?"

The Empress noticed something amiss. Although this supreme formation manifested some of the Heavenly Emperor's power from back then, it was ultimately not the Heavenly Emperor himself and could not unleash the Heavenly Emperor's full strength.

The reason they've been able to fight her this far is entirely due to the Heavenly Emperor's mark from back then.

Before long, the array spirit could no longer hold on, and as the blurry figure dissipated, the chaos gradually subsided.

"The Supreme Heavenly Emperor truly lives up to his reputation. Just a mark from the past is enough to make me go all out."

Based on previous observations, the Heavenly Emperor's mark within the Supreme Formation was left by the third Heavenly Emperor. The Empress initially thought it wouldn't be difficult, but the actual battle defied her expectations, causing her considerable hardship.

This also shows that the Heavenly Emperor of the Third Incarnation had already gone very far on the path to immortality in the mortal world, otherwise his strength would not be so astonishing.

"Now comes the harvest!"

The Empress looked at the chaotic little world floating before her, a smile appearing in her eyes.
