The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 251 The Empress Quells the Rebellion
Big Dipper.

Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared, wearing a mask that resembled a ghostly face, neither crying nor laughing, making it impossible to tell whether she was male or female.

"Was the Devouring Heaven Sect destroyed?"

The Empress looked towards the headquarters of the Devouring Heaven Sect. The former splendor was long gone, leaving only ruins.

Clearly, after she discarded the Heavenly Heart Mark, the world truly believed she had perished and joined forces to destroy the Devouring Heaven Sect.

The Empress had actually foreseen that the Devouring Heaven Sect would be destroyed. After all, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art she created was against the natural order, and the people of the Devouring Heaven Sect did not possess her strength or talent.

While she was alive, things were alright; various forces feared her existence and dared not openly resist her.

But once she enters the process of transformation and becomes unable to intervene in external affairs, it will only be a matter of time before the Devouring Heaven Sect is destroyed.

To this end, she left her ultimate imperial weapon in the Devouring Heaven Sect. Unfortunately, the Devouring Heaven Sect had too many enemies, and she still could not change the final outcome.

The Empress shook her head and stopped paying attention to the matter.

In the years that followed, she continued to walk among mortals. By chance, the Empress found the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality in a secluded place, which made her ecstatic.

This divine herb is very special. It has nine roots, and its overall shape is unique. Each time it produces a different fruit, there are nine different kinds, and each has a different medicinal effect. It was once controlled by the ancient royal family, the Divine Silkworm Clan.

However, after the Primordial God Emperor went into seclusion, this immortal herb flew away from the Divine Silkworm Ridge, and no one who has attained enlightenment has ever obtained it since.

The Empress highly values ​​the Nine Miracle Elixir of Immortality. Legend has it that each elixir contains a great secret, and if one can understand it, one can be reborn, which is extremely important to the Empress.

Afterwards, the Empress found the former Daoist temple of the Immortal Emperor and took over it directly. At the same time, she divided the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine into nine plants and planted them on the nine main peaks.

The fact that the former Immortal Emperor's dojo had been taken over quickly caused a huge uproar on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, with countless powerful figures flocking to the area to find out what was going on.

Unfortunately, none of these powerful individuals who entered the training grounds were able to leave alive, not even those at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

The emergence of a new forbidden zone is a momentous event rarely seen in history. Since the beginning of forbidden zones, their number has not remained constant, and there have been numerous instances of forbidden zones disappearing throughout history.

To put it simply, the Underworld was destroyed by the returning Lord of the Underworld over ten thousand years ago. But the creation of new forbidden zones is an unprecedented event since the dawn of the ancient era.

In an instant, the major sects in the vicinity moved away, no longer daring to remain around the desolate and forbidden land.

The Empress simply went into seclusion in the desolate forbidden land, comprehending the path to immortality in the mortal world, and detached herself from worldly affairs.

The Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

There is a forbidden zone here, rarely visited by humans, surrounded by boundless wilderness for hundreds of thousands of miles.

In the heart of this vast wilderness, there exists a continuous mountain range, each peak exceptionally tall, its interior brimming with the essence of heaven and earth, and teeming with rare and precious treasures.

In the center of that mountain range, several terrifying auras lurked.

This is the forbidden zone of the Holy Spirit, where the immortal Holy Spirit dwells, and it is the ancestral land of the Holy Spirit lineage.

boom!
One day, a terrifying aura awakened from the Holy Spirit Forbidden Zone, its power awe-inspiring, intertwined with the laws of the Imperial Path, manifesting a boundless sea of ​​fire within the forbidden zone.

"Fire Spirit Emperor, can't you seal yourself anymore?" A cold voice came from the depths of the forbidden zone.

"That's right, my life essence is almost exhausted. If I don't replenish it soon, I will pass away completely."

"I wish to be born to reap all living beings. Are there any fellow Daoists who would like to be born with me?"

Deep within the Holy Spirit Forbidden Zone, a blazing figure appeared and disappeared, with explosive imperial laws swirling around, a single wisp enough to obliterate a region of life source.

"Isn't it a bit too early for him to be born now? According to our calculations, the path to immortality will open on the ancient star of the Big Dipper in hundreds of thousands of years. We might as well wait a bit."

"As far as I know, there are still many terrifying beings lurking in the human world. If you rashly emerge into this world, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending," the Holy Spirit Emperor advised.

Since the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi ascended to immortality, the landscape of the human realm has undergone tremendous changes, especially in the last few hundred thousand years. Many cultivators have embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world, and if they encounter those beings, they will most likely face dire consequences.

"I can't seal it anymore. I also want to wait for the path to immortality on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, but my life essence is about to run out. At most, I can only hold on for a few thousand more years."

"Moreover, those beings may not necessarily interfere. Back then, the Killing Emperor and the Devouring Emperor slaughtered without restraint, and the atrocities they committed were even greater than those of the Dark Turmoil, yet those people, including the Heavenly Emperor and the God Emperor, did not stop them."

The Fire Spirit Emperor gave a wry smile. He wouldn't have started the Dark Turmoil if it weren't necessary. After all, the mortal realm was far too dangerous right now, and a Supreme Being who had fallen to the Extreme Realm had no right to speak.

But if he does nothing, he will soon disappear completely into the long river of time, turning into a handful of dust.

At the same time, the Fire Spirit Emperor did not believe that those former Dao Prodigies would interfere.

After all, every battle for the Emperor's Path is incredibly bloody, with countless lives lost, comparable to the Dark Turmoil. He simply wanted to reap some of the rewards.

“Since that’s the case, then go ahead and do it. As long as you’re not one of those two who have achieved the mortal immortality, we don’t believe we can’t protect you!” another Holy Spirit Emperor said.

As a provener of the Dao, he did not consider himself weak. Furthermore, with an entire forbidden zone of life, he refused to believe he couldn't protect even one person. Especially since the Supreme Heavenly Emperor and the Divine Emperor had been absent from the world for so long, some supreme beings had long been unable to contain themselves and wanted to launch a dark upheaval.

"Fellow Daoist Stone Emperor, what do you think?"

Just then, a Holy Spirit of the Imperial Way looked towards a certain place. There, another Holy Spirit of the Imperial Way lay dormant, a Holy Spirit Emperor who had attained enlightenment in the early days of the Primordial Era.

After a long while, a calm voice finally came from that place.

"Fellow Daoist Huo Ling, please do as you please. We will protect you."

Hearing everyone's words, the Fire Spirit Emperor's confidence soared, and he immediately made a promise: "If other fellow Daoists emerge to reap the rewards in the future, I, the Fire Spirit Emperor, will take it upon myself to protect you."

The next moment, the Fire Spirit Emperor unleashed his full power, his supreme imperial might soaring into the sky, proclaiming his existence to the world.

With a wave of his hand, countless beings on the ancient star of the Big Dipper fell into pools of blood. Their life essence gathered into magnificent celestial rivers, surging towards the Fire Spirit Emperor and completely engulfing him.

When the Supreme Being was born, the heavens and earth collapsed and the earth split apart. With a wave of his hand, he devoured billions of living beings and caused boundless slaughter, immediately causing countless living beings to fall silent.

"With the Supreme Being appearing, how dare they? Aren't they afraid of the Heavenly Emperor and the others taking action?"

"Dark turmoil has erupted, and an ancient supreme being has emerged to slaughter the world. Who can save us?"

In an instant, the entire ancient Big Dipper star was shrouded in blood, and cries and prayers filled the heavens and earth.

No one expected that, hundreds of thousands of years later, a supreme being from a forbidden zone would dare to emerge and devour billions of living beings to make up for himself.

"Who can save us? Supreme Heavenly Emperor, please descend with your divine power and quell the turmoil!"

"Merciful Emperor of the Moon, Holy Emperor of the Sun, we cherish your ideal of the coexistence of all spirits. Please intervene and stop all of this!"

"..."

No matter how much people prayed, no one responded, countless tragedies continued to unfold, and countless lives were lost in pools of blood.

The Fire Spirit Emperor stood in the void, absorbing the essence of all spirits, his expression joyful. He could feel his condition constantly recovering, and the originally cracked platform had healed considerably.

"As I guessed, the Heavenly Emperor really didn't interfere. Those people wanted me to test the waters; I wonder if this result satisfies them?"

Since the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, supreme beings in various forbidden zones have long been unable to restrain themselves and want to launch a dark upheaval to make up for their lifespan.

But those supreme beings had doubts in their hearts and never dared to appear in the world.

The Fire Spirit Emperor himself had no choice; he simply couldn't seal himself off, otherwise he wouldn't have emerged to cause chaos. However, to be on the safe side, he avoided the time when contemporary Dao-proving individuals were present, trying his best not to clash with them.

"continue!"

Seeing that no one was stopping him, the Fire Spirit Emperor became even bolder. However, the next moment, the Heavenly Sword swept across the sky, and a terrifying sword light cleaved out from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, fiercely slashing towards the Fire Spirit Emperor.

The sword light surged to the heavens, carrying an unparalleled killing intent, tearing an indestructible wound in the sky, even shattering the chains of divine laws.

"who?"

The Fire Spirit Emperor was both shocked and furious. Looking at the peerless sword light before him, he felt a deadly crisis. Even his proud imperial body trembled before the peerless sword light, and even began to crack.

If he didn't push himself to the limit, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow. Fortunately, he had already collected a considerable amount of life essence, and his condition had recovered considerably.

"Let's fight! Burn the heavens, burn the earth, burn everything, burn the immeasurable!"

Fire Spirit Emperor roared and decisively reached the pinnacle of his power, restoring his perfect Dao Fruit.

Endless crimson light erupted from his body, illuminating most of the universe. Countless imperial laws appeared, transforming into a boundless sea of ​​fire, and rushed forward.

Chi!
In the instant of contact, the sea of ​​fire was completely shattered, and the remaining power of the sword light slashed fiercely at the Fire Spirit Emperor.

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to sense it, and a light rain of blood began to fall from the sky, accompanied by the sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling.

Even the most supreme being could not withstand a single blow, despite his ultimate ascension.

"That place is an ancient forbidden zone. Which great emperor intervened and quelled the dark turmoil?"

"There is too little information to determine who it is, but it is certain that it is someone who is walking the path of immortality in the mortal world, otherwise it would be impossible to kill a Holy Spirit Emperor instantly."

The Great Perfection Holy Spirit is already quite remarkable, comparable to the Great Accomplishment Holy Body and the Overlord Body. If it can prove itself as an Emperor, its strength will not be considered weak among those who prove themselves.

But this former Holy Spirit Emperor couldn't even withstand a single move, which was so astonishing that people couldn't believe it.
