The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 260 Morality Enters the Dam

The dam is vast, like a giant dragon that blocks out the sky, blocking everything and seemingly obstructing something.

Even from a great distance, the Celestial Venerable of Morality could sense that endless, ancient, and desolate aura, as if it transcended ancient history.

"Is this the dam that Fellow Daoist King Tai spoke of?" Daode Tianzun murmured to himself as he gazed at the dam before him.

The dam is a crucial point that isolates the strange race from all the realms. Who exactly built it is unknown, but it is known that it has endured countless years and blocked the invasion of darkness time and time again.

Without the obstruction of the dikes, the strange race could act with impunity, directly ascending to all the heavens and myriad realms and instigating dark turmoil.

It was precisely because of the existence of the dikes that the invasion of the strange race was known in advance, giving the myriad realms enough buffer time.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality continued his journey toward the dam and soon arrived at a mysterious place.

It was very quiet here; not a sound could be heard. Deathly silence enveloped everything, becoming eternal.

However, when the Celestial Venerable of Morality first set foot in this place, a dark divine lightning bolt suddenly appeared and struck down towards the Celestial Venerable of Morality's head.

Chi!
The Celestial Venerable of Morality remained unhurried, waving his whisk, and a beam of black and white light shot forth, instantly shattering the divine lightning completely.

This divine lightning might be troublesome for beings in the human realm, but for the Moral Celestial Venerable, a mortal immortal, it could be suppressed with a mere gesture.

Then the Celestial Venerable continued toward the dam, and no matter what attacks this mysterious place unleashed, they could not stop him.

Soon after, a vast expanse of sand appeared before the Celestial Venerable of Morality. At a glance, the entire sand was laid out before him, with nothing superfluous except for a string of flickering footprints.

These footprints are faint, as if they are about to be eroded by time and disappear into the sand, traces left over from a long time ago.

The Celestial Being tried it, but he found it difficult to leave a trace, let alone even to shake a speck of dust in the sand.

"Is this what the Quasi-Immortal Emperor left behind when he went alone to quell the chaos in the ancient land of darkness countless years ago?"

Long before the Celestial Venerable of Morality entered the Immortal Realm, he learned many secrets from the Emperor of Tai, including the Quasi-Immortal Emperor who perished countless years ago.

That emperor was born in a very ancient era and once established a celestial court. Later, he sensed a great upheaval in the Dark Ultimate Ancient Land and went alone to quell the rebellion there.

Ultimately, however, he was powerless and perished there, plunging all the heavens and myriad realms into great annihilation. Countless living beings were wiped out and it took a long time for them to slowly recover.

That period, also known as the Fall of the Emperors, was a significant turning point in the ancient history of all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The deeds of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor were too distant for the Celestial Venerable of Morality to dwell on. He only wanted to focus on becoming an Immortal King as soon as possible to prepare for future changes.

If what the Thai King said is true, the strange race is really about to make a comeback once again, and even the Celestial King may not be able to protect himself. He needs to become stronger as soon as possible.

Moreover, all of this is based on the premise that the Heavenly Emperor does not encounter any problems.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Emperor is outnumbered and a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor emerges from the Dark Ultimate Ancient Land, he could easily tip the scales, and everything would likely be reduced to ruins.

Before long, the Celestial Venerable of Morality followed the footprints on the sand and saw the faintly visible dam ahead.

When he got really close to the dam, the Celestial Venerable of Morality realized his own insignificance. The dam in front of him was magnificent and spectacular, and he was not even a speck of dust in front of it.

On the dam, there were countless figures, clad in armor and wielding long spears, their backs to the heavens, fighting against an unknown entity, the clanging of metal against metal echoing incessantly.

These people have very high cultivation levels. The weakest among them are beings at the Supreme level, while the strongest are even comparable to the Moral Celestial Venerable.

"Supreme beings have all entered the fray. Has the situation become this critical?" The Celestial Venerable of Morality's expression turned solemn.

According to the Thai King's fellow Daoist, when the Heavenly Emperor stepped onto the dam, the participants were mostly immortal beings.

In just a few hundred thousand years, the situation has changed dramatically, and beings in the human realm have also begun to join the war.

This indicates that the situation on the dam is no longer optimistic, and the strange race could break through the defenses at any time and slaughter all the heavens.

Just then, someone on the dam seemed to sense the presence of the Celestial Venerable of Morality and immediately shouted.

"Fellow Daoist, please lend us a hand!"

His voice carried a hint of weariness, yet also a sense of joy.

Clearly, the arrival of a quasi-immortal king is very favorable news for the myriad realms.

In the current world, even a quasi-immortal king is a formidable force, capable of influencing the outcome of battles at a crucial juncture, and should not be underestimated.

boom!
Without the slightest hesitation, the Celestial Venerable of Morality stepped forward and truly descended upon the dam, where he was greatly surprised by the scene before him.

Amidst the dam, figures of various kinds roamed, not just humans. The sounds of battle were deafening, and bloody fighting erupted everywhere.

Multicolored blood was splattered on the dam, the murderous intent soaring to the sky, a single wisp of it enough to sever the sun, moon and stars.

Countless corpses lay beneath the dam, some enormous in size, their impact so powerful it could suppress the entire universe. Beyond the dam stretched an endless black mist, eerie and ominous, like eternal darkness threatening to drag everything into oblivion.

In that endless darkness, there were also pairs of scarlet eyes, their power terrifying, each wisp of their aura seemingly capable of crushing the void.

"So many Quasi-Immortal Kings?"

The Celestial Venerable of Morality looked solemn. He sensed many terrifying auras in that black mist, much like his own.

The dam side was not to be outdone, with one terrifying aura after another rising up, magnificent and imposing, confronting the powerful members of the strange race.

"Kill! Annihilate them, and offer your blood as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

A colossal figure loomed in and out of the mist. With a wave of his hand, countless figures emerged from the darkness once more, like a tidal wave, charging toward the dam with overwhelming power.

Not to be outdone, roars echoed as countless divine lights intertwined and charged towards the dark creatures.

boom!
The bloody battle erupted once again, with countless lives falling every moment. Immortal blood and dark blood spilled, seeping into every corner of the dike.

The length of this dike is the length of the battle line, with bloody battles erupting everywhere and endless cries of agony echoing from every direction. Whenever a life falls, someone else immediately takes its place and takes over the fight.

Neither the strange race nor any of the myriad realms retreated.

Especially for those in the myriad realms, they have no way out. Once defeated, everything will be overturned, and surrender will be a pipe dream.

After all, the strange race currently holds the advantage. To launch a grand sacrifice, they need to slaughter a sufficient number of living beings. They cannot accept anyone's surrender until the required number is reached.

There are too many strange creatures; their dark figures are everywhere, and an ominous aura permeates every corner, as if trying to distort everything.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality looked solemn. Just as he was about to make his move, more than a dozen terrifying auras locked onto him, their oppressive power surging as if they might unleash a devastating attack at any moment.

"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps going to bully the weak and break the rules of the agreement?"

From within the thick fog, a humanoid creature emerged, licked his lips, and revealed a sinister smile.

His aura was so terrifying that simply standing there was enough to greatly increase the morale of the strange race below, causing them to partially take over.

Clearly, this being was renowned among the strange race, earning the respect and admiration of countless beings of the race.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality could sense that the strange being confronting him was very strong, no less powerful than him, and definitely a powerful being of the strange race.

"Hmph, don't be so arrogant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a heroic young man appeared beside the Celestial Venerable of Morality. He was dressed in a blue-gold armor, holding a black halberd, and exuded a powerful aura as he confronted the unknown creature opposite him.

The appearance of the two leading figures instantly pushed the battlefield atmosphere to a climax, and the fighting became even more brutal.

After a long while, the strange creature on the other side spoke, letting out a series of eerie laughs. Its voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, making people extremely uncomfortable.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"I'm just reminding this new fellow Daoist not to break the rules."

After saying this, the strange creature gave the Moral Celestial Venerable a deep look before slowly disappearing into the darkness.

On the other side, the valiant man saw the strange creature retreat and did not try to stop it, letting it go.

"Fellow Daoist, let's find another place to talk!"

The Celestial Venerable of Morality nodded slightly. He was new to the place and needed to understand many things, otherwise he might easily do something bad with good intentions, just like before.

Before long, the two arrived at the main camp of the myriad realms. Terrifying auras soared into the sky, their power spreading through the ages. Each one was extremely powerful, comparable to the Heavenly Venerable of Morality.

So many Quasi-Immortal Kings?

The Celestial Venerable of Morality was somewhat surprised. There were many Quasi-Immortal Kings in the main camp; just from what he sensed, there were no fewer than dozens.

However, these numbers pale in comparison to the number of the strange race.

Soon, the two arrived at a grand hall and sat facing each other.

"My name is Gu Qing. I've met this fellow Daoist. I never expected that there would be such a powerful expert as you in our Immortal Realm." Gu Qing cupped his hands slightly.

The appearance of a quasi-Immortal King is a rare piece of good news for all the heavens and myriad realms.

The kings of the Immortal Realm are deep in the Boundary Sea, fighting against the kings of the strange race. They have no time to attend to the Immortal Realm. Each quasi-Immortal King is a rare fighting force, capable of stabilizing the battle situation on the dam.

"This humble Daoist is Morality, and greets Fellow Daoist Gu Qing." Morality Celestial Venerable bowed.
