The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 8 The Fear of the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zone
The situation before him was completely unexpected. The Black Mist Supreme did not expect that Chu Tianshu, who had just survived the ninth level of the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Tribulation, would still have the foundation to trigger the Dao Proving Tribulation.

The Black Mist Supreme's attack was incredibly swift. The extremely dark black light seemed capable of devouring all light, instantly tearing through the void and heading straight for Chu Tianshu.

"late!"

Chu Tianshu's face remained calm, like an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

He had anticipated this situation and immediately swung his three-colored longsword, unleashing a boundless sword beam that easily neutralized the Black Mist Supreme's attack.

"You worthless scoundrels think you can stop me from attaining enlightenment?" Chu Tianshu's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and his aura surged once again, quickly reaching an incredible level.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu's entire body shone brightly, and his spine completely transformed into a great dragon, carrying the Dao Fruit of the five great secret realms combined, rushing towards the Heavenly Gate in the darkness.

The expressions of Black Mist Supreme and Qiwu Supreme both turned extremely ugly. As former Dao Provers, they knew the terror of the Dao Proving Tribulation.

Even ancient emperors and celestial beings like them, at their peak, dared not easily venture into it.

Moreover, they had already severed their own foundations, falling from the realm of imperial power, their vital energy severely depleted, and their strength reduced to less than one-tenth of what it once was.

If handled improperly, death and annihilation can occur in the blink of an eye.

"We can't delay any longer! We must kill him before he fully triggers the Immortal Tribulation!"

With a low roar, the Supreme Qiwu unleashed a burst of crimson light, and his Azure Phoenix Dharma Form blotted out the sky, carrying boundless imperial pressure as it hurtled straight at Chu Tianshu.

The Black Mist Supreme no longer held back; the black mist around his body surged violently, and the ultimate laws condensed around him, transforming into black chains that coiled around Chu Tianshu.

Facing the all-out attack of two beings with extreme combat power, Chu Tianshu was not afraid at all. The three-colored longsword in his hand burst out with dazzling extreme imperial power, and the sword light was like a dragon, sweeping across the eight directions and six realms.

Each sword strike carries boundless Daoist energy, as if it could sever time and space, shatter all laws, and end the past, present, and future.

"Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, descend!"

Chu Tianshu roared to the sky, his aura exploding outwards and stirring up the vast and boundless tribulation clouds in the heavens.

Boom boom boom!
The immense lightning tribulation instantly enveloped the entire desolate borderland, and the terrifying aura of the tribulation spread throughout the universe.

All living beings in the universe could sense this oppressive atmosphere, as if the end of the universe was imminent and the world was about to restart.

Chu Tianshu's tribulation to attain enlightenment has finally arrived!
Countless divine thunderbolts manifested, transforming into vast, boundless thunder dragons that struck Chu Tianshu.

"Damn it! I spend all my time hunting birds, and today I never expected to get pecked in the eye by one!"

The Supreme Being of Qiwu had a gloomy expression and blasted the oncoming lightning tribulation dragon to pieces with a single punch.

"Qiwu, concentrate on dealing with the lightning tribulation."

The Black Mist Supreme's expression was also unpleasant. Under Chu Tianshu's calculated attack, the two of them had been completely tricked. They were now locked onto by the lightning tribulation, and as long as they remained within the human realm universe, they could not escape the tribulation.

"Damn Chu Tianshu!"

The Black Mist Supreme roared as he felt his ultimate secret technique begin to crumble under the suppression of the Immortal Tribulation.

The tiny crack in Sendai is gradually widening, its vital energy is rapidly declining, and even its lifespan is beginning to fade faster.

This filled the Black Mist Supreme with immense fear, for the reason he had been able to survive from the mythical era to the present day was precisely because he had repeatedly instigated dark upheavals and harvested the life essence of all living beings.

Millions of years have passed, his primordial spirit has long since faded, his altar is rotten and decaying, and his whole body exudes a putrid odor.

If he hadn't used his ultimate secret technique to firmly lock himself in, sealing himself within the Immortal Source, he would have long since become a skeleton, disappearing into the long river of time. However, even so, his condition had reached its limit; each emergence required a vast amount of life essence, and the slightest carelessness would lead to his complete demise.

Falling into Chu Tianshu's Ninefold Immortal Tribulation at this moment would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury.

The Supreme Being Qiwu was also not in good condition. Although he was in a slightly better state than the Supreme Being Heiwu, he was currently in a state of extreme sublimation, which was consuming his limited lifespan.

The Azure Phoenix Dharma Image gradually dimmed under the bombardment of thunder, and the imperial aura was suppressed to the extreme.

Compared to the two weakened Supreme Beings, Chu Tianshu felt that his condition was extremely good.

After all, he was a man of his time, with ample lifespan and vigorous vitality, allowing him to unleash all sorts of forbidden techniques with ease, without worrying about exhaustion or decline.

In the heart of the desolate frontier, the lightning tribulation grew increasingly fierce, and the endless starry river tribulation clouds seemed poised to devour the heavens and earth.

All sorts of world-destroying divine lightning, yin-yang divine lightning, and five-element divine lightning took turns attacking Chu Tianshu, pressing down on him all at once.

Chu Tianshu, dressed in an imperial robe with his purple hair flowing, confronted the Immortal Tribulation with a three-colored longsword in his hand, truly displaying an invincible spirit that could swallow the universe and look down on the past and present.

At the same time, the commotion on the edge of the universe also made the supreme beings of the forbidden zones who were secretly watching tremble with fear.

"A good plan. First, use your own tribulation at the ninth level of the Quasi-Venerable realm to lure out Qi Wu and the others."

"Then seize the opportunity to break through to the Emperor Realm, use your own Dao-proving tribulation to restrain the Supreme, and buy yourself a chance to prove your Dao."

"This human prodigy is truly extraordinary. I'm a little worried about Qi Wu and the others."

A Supreme Being from a well-developed Forbidden Zone watched with great interest the Great Tribulation of Proving One's Dao in the desolate edge of the universe.

"What? Fellow Daoist has actually awakened?"

"Could it be that you are also interested in emerging into the world to hunt down the current emperor?"

A chillingly dark voice rang out.

"Forget it, this emperor's physique is extraordinary. After he passes the Dao Tribulation, his strength will probably be extremely astonishing. What if we end up losing more than we gain by trying to catch a chicken?"

“That’s right. Right now, he’s in the prime of his life. If we wait until he’s old and his health is declining before we make our move, our chances of winning will be much higher.”

The divine thoughts of many supreme beings of life communicated in the void, feeling extremely wary of Chu Tianshu, who was undergoing tribulation, and wishing they could get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, when the topic turned to letting them besiege them, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

They were no longer the invincible, supreme ancient emperors who once dominated the world. Since their self-inflicted wound, their pride had long been cast aside.

At this moment, it would be impossible for them to risk their lives to attack a current emperor.

After all, hunting the current emperor is extremely dangerous, even if there are multiple supreme beings attacking.

A contemporary emperor, with his peak vitality and the mark of the Heavenly Heart, can easily take one or two supreme beings down with him.

Those who have slain themselves are all selfish and self-serving people; how could they possibly give up their lives for others?

Moreover, at this time, the lifespans of the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones are still relatively long, far from the situation where they had to emerge and cause chaos as they did in the later stages of the Ancient Era.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone would never choose to launch a dark upheaval when a contemporary emperor is present; that would be tantamount to going to the toilet with a lantern in hand.
