The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 50 The Birth of the Four Venerables
Suddenly, a chilling voice boomed from the depths of the starry sky, and countless stars collapsed in the next moment.

The moment they saw Chu Tianshu appear, the many supreme beings of the forbidden zones became even more certain of their guesses.

Although the Heavenly Heart Mark has stabilized again, it is only because Taiyi is putting up a brave front. It will be revealed in a few years.

Just then, a terrifying wave came from the depths of the universe, striking the aged emperor's figure on the golden road.

Rumble!
The boundless imperial might spread outwards, vast and mighty, as if the sky were collapsing.

Wherever it passed, the void shattered and all paths vanished. The entire human realm trembled as if a cataclysmic calamity had descended.

"Oh no! Those forbidden beings see that the Great Emperor is getting restless in his later years and want to emerge and settle all scores!"

"That's right. When His Majesty Taiyi attained enlightenment, he suppressed many forbidden zones of life in one fell swoop, forcing them to pay a huge price."

"By this time the emperor was in his twilight years, and they wanted to take back everything they had once possessed."

The world was shocked.

After Emperor Taiyi attained enlightenment, he powerfully ascended to the ancient star of the Big Dipper and repeatedly ventured into the forbidden zone of life that terrified the world, confronting the former Heavenly Venerable and Ancient Emperor time and time again.

This is a world-shaking event. Never before in history has a Daoist been able to achieve this, making the eight forbidden zones of life bow down and forcing them to flee to the stars.

"This imperial aura seems to be that of the ancient Sirius Emperor from the Primordial Era!"

"Rumor has it that the Ancient Emperor Tianlang underwent a great change in his later years and passed away prematurely. Unexpectedly, he severed his own life and fell into the forbidden zone!"

Soon, a powerful figure recognized the origin of the supreme being who had made the move.

"Are all the forbidden zones of life preparing to emerge together today to hunt down the Great Emperor Taiyi?"

"Some of the powerful figures said in fear."

Throughout history, most enlightened beings have only lived two lifetimes.

However, some extreme beings seem unwilling to end their lives here. They choose to sever their own ties, seal themselves away, and lie dormant in forbidden zones of life, becoming supreme beings of darkness.

Even so, those Dark Sovereigns could not perfectly lock in their life essence, and their lifespan was still slowly fading away, only at a much slower rate than usual.

In order to prolong their lives, these supreme beings of forbidden zones would periodically launch dark upheavals, harvesting the life essence of all living beings to fill their own voids.

Besides harvesting the life essence of all living beings, there is actually a more efficient method.

That is hunting down contemporary enlightened beings!
If one could hunt down a contemporary Dao-proving being and devour his flesh and blood, it would be comparable to launching several Dark Turmoils.

However, hunting contemporary enlightened beings is extremely dangerous, and one can easily be killed if one is not careful.

Therefore, most of the dark turmoil actually occurred in times when there were no enlightened masters in the world to oversee things.

Unless they are truly unable to seal themselves off, those supreme beings of forbidden zones will not rashly confront a contemporary Dao-proving being, even if he is in his later years.

Chu Tianshu's situation was completely different; he caused enormous damage to various forbidden zones.

Not only did they force the forbidden zones to admit their mistakes, but they also brought out a large number of rare treasures.

Such a humiliation is unprecedented in the history books of all nations.

During his heyday, all the major forbidden zones naturally avoided him.

But when he reaches old age, these forbidden zones of life will naturally emerge and wreak havoc, reclaiming everything that was once his.

"what?"

"Are there really people who aren't afraid of death and dare to show their faces?"

Chu Tianshu looked at the overwhelming imperial might in surprise, then flicked his finger, shattering it completely.

He didn't expect that just because he was slightly weakened, a supreme being couldn't sit still and jumped out to cause trouble.

It seems these forbidden zones truly hate him to the bone; of course, it's also possible they covet his flesh and blood.

After all, his physique is extraordinary, and the life essence accumulated within his body far surpasses that of ordinary Dao-proving individuals. If they could hunt him down, it would probably be enough to allow several Dark Sovereigns to survive for countless years.

Rumble!
Wave after wave of supreme imperial might spread, turning everything visible into nothingness in its path and creating visible ripples throughout the universe.

Terrifying imperial might spread throughout the universe, and murderous intent pierced through the heavens and earth, creating endless strange phenomena above the heavens.

The heavens and earth collapsed, the emperor shed blood, and all paths ceased to exist. One after another, destructive phenomena appeared in the heavens, seemingly foreshadowing Chu Tianshu's fate, causing all beings in the universe to be terrified.

one two three four!

Four terrifying figures emerged from the depths of the universe, standing atop the starry sky, clad in ancient royal robes that commanded the worship of all races.

An endless, ancient, and wild aura flowed from them, as if they had come from the beginning of time, passed through countless years, and arrived in this world.

"It's the Ancient Emperor of the Ibis! The Ancient Emperor of the Sirius! The Ancient Emperor of the Armadillo! The Ancient Emperor of the Teng Snake!"

Soon, powerful figures from all races recognized the origins of these newly emerged supreme beings, their voices trembling.

"With four forbidden beings emerging at the same time, and Emperor Taiyi already in his twilight years, no longer at his peak strength, can he handle it?"

"Perhaps we are about to witness history!"

Unexpectedly, in the later years of Emperor Taiyi, four supreme beings from forbidden zones emerged together to settle scores with the contemporary Daoists.

This is an unprecedented event, the first of its kind in all of history.

While there have been instances in the past where elderly sages were hunted, nothing like what we see today has ever happened before.

Whether it is the Great Emperor Taiyi who forcefully subdues the various deities today, or the deities who divide and devour Taiyi, both will leave an indelible mark on ancient history.

However, it is clear that the world does not have a high opinion of Emperor Taiyi.

After all, the opponents he faced were all ancient emperors who were once invincible and unparalleled in the world.

As fellow seekers of enlightenment, who is weaker than the other?
Moreover, Emperor Taiyi was facing four former ancient emperors.

Most people have no hope for it.

However, there are still some living beings who hope that Chu Tianshu can quell the turmoil and bring the matter to a peaceful end.

"Taiyi!"

"Ten thousand years ago, when you stormed into the Undying Mountain, did you ever imagine this scene would unfold today!"

At this moment, one of the supreme beings standing atop the starry sky spoke, his voice icy cold, his tone revealing an aura of unparalleled invincibility, confident that he could settle everything.

He had waited for this moment for ten thousand years, and finally, in his later years, he arrived at this time.

"Oh?"

"Is it just the four of you?" Chu Tianshu asked, somewhat disappointed.

He had thought that all the major forbidden zones would come out in full force this time, but instead only sent four supreme beings to test him.

It seems those forbidden zones aren't stupid either; they want to test his condition first.

"Humph!"

"Taiyi, you're about to die and you're still putting on an act!"

"Today, let a few of us take care of your final moments!"

Rumble!
The next moment, the supreme battle erupted without warning, and the vast collision of ultimate paths instantly swept across the universe.

In an instant, the four supreme beings of the forbidden zones immediately chose to undergo the ultimate sublimation to restore their perfect Dao fruit.

Even in their later years, they dared not be careless in the slightest towards Chu Tianshu, the first emperor of the ancient era.

boom!
In an instant, four perfect and flawless imperial auras erupted from the depths of the universe, and the vast and boundless imperial might overwhelmed the world, allowing people to witness once again the great power of the flawless ancient emperor!
