The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 9 The Fighting Saint Emperor
No matter how worried those supreme beings in the forbidden zones are, unless they risk their lives to emerge, they will have no impact on Chu Tianshu.

In the desolate borderlands, the great calamity grew increasingly fierce, its power gradually reaching its peak.

The endless calamity clouds actually evolved into the legendary Nine Heavens Palace, with a magnificent palace standing in the center of each heaven, as if it were the abode of the gods.

"It truly is a Ninefold Immortal Tribulation!"

"This was expected. Given the strength of this human emperor, it would be strange if Heaven didn't send down a ninefold celestial tribulation!"

"Alas! Will another figure, comparable to the Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, emerge in the long course of time?"

A supreme being stepped out of the forbidden zone, gazing at the boundless divine calamity at the edge of the universe.

The Ninefold Immortal Tribulation is the most terrifying lightning tribulation among the great tribulations of attaining enlightenment. Since ancient times, very few have been able to experience the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation during the great tribulations of attaining enlightenment.

Only those exceptionally talented individuals with immense potential will be subjected to the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation by Heaven as a test.

Chu Tianshu stood alone beneath the lightning tribulation, his powerful aura illuminating most of the universe, his purple qi rising for tens of thousands of miles, as if a celestial king had descended to earth, overlooking the eternal sky.

He was well aware of the power of the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation.

The Ninefold Immortal Tribulation is actually the Dao and Dharma of the strongest Dao-proving individuals throughout history, whose Dao and Dharma are deeply engraved in the heavens and earth.

The Nine Heavens Palaces, each representing an ancient emperor who was once invincible in the world, were manifested by the heavens and became the final obstacle for Chu Tianshu's path to enlightenment.

As long as he can overcome the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, Chu Tianshu's great dragon will completely leap into the Immortal Platform, and his Ultimate Dao Fruit will be truly perfect, making him another Dao Prover in ancient history.

Chu Tianshu's gaze was cold as he charged into the lightning tribulation, carrying a three-foot-long sword, and pushed open the gate of the first palace.

In the palace, a majestic phantom sat cross-legged, a three-foot-long immortal iron rod lying across his lap, and endless extreme pressure emanated from him, his power terrifying.

"Fight the Holy Emperor!"

Chu Tianshu recognized the origin of this illusory figure; it was none other than the last ancient emperor of the Primordial Era—the Fighting Saint Emperor.

The Fighting Saint Emperor used a single Immortal Golden Iron Cudgel to defeat all the ancient races, dominating the world and proving himself as an emperor with unparalleled power.

Throughout the late Primordial Era, apart from Di Que who could rival him, no one else was his match.

The Fighting Saint Emperor's life was unparalleled in its explosive power; his path to enlightenment can be summed up in one word: battle.

From the moment he revealed his ancient emperor potential, he fought his way through the ancient world without being able to defeat anyone, until he encountered his destined nemesis, Di Que.

Their encounter was a meeting of equals, a clash of titans. They fought fiercely all the way to the Great Sage's door, neither willing to back down.

In the end, the Fighting Saint Emperor proved superior, defeating Di Que at a terrible cost. However, although the Fighting Saint Emperor won, he was also nearing the end of his life.

Left with no other choice, the Fighting Saint Emperor used the Elixir of Immortality to defy fate and live a second life. Since then, no one among the myriad races has been able to rival the Fighting Saint Emperor.

In the end, he fought his way to the ultimate imperial pass, sweeping away the geniuses of all races, triggering the tribulation of enlightenment, and successfully attaining enlightenment, becoming another ancient emperor in the Primordial Era.

However, the Fighting Saint Emperor did not rule the world for very long, only a little over ten thousand years.

However, because he took the elixir of immortality too early and lived a second life, the elixir of immortality became useless to him after he attained enlightenment.

However, the Fighting Saint Emperor was not willing to die like this, but he was also unwilling to cut off his own life and become the Dark Supreme.

Therefore, in his later years, he decisively chose to transform into a Battle Immortal, but unfortunately, his foundation was ultimately insufficient, leading to his failure. Chu Tianshu still held considerable goodwill towards this last ancient emperor of the Primordial Era.

After attaining enlightenment, the Fighting Saint Emperor truly became selfless and impartial, and he did not even settle scores with his former great enemy, the Dique clan.

At the same time, the human race lived a relatively safer life in that era. Although it was not like when no one dared to offend them during the reign of the two Holy Emperors, it was still much better than the precarious times of that era.

Another factor was the failure of the Battle Saint Emperor to transform into a Battle Immortal. In addition, a massive divine war at the end of the Primordial Era led to the evolution of the Great Dao and the change of the universe, giving the human race an opportunity to rise.

Otherwise, if the world were still under the rule of the ancient myriad races, even someone as powerful as Chu Tianshu wouldn't be 100% certain of reaching the Dao Proving stage.

He might just be beginning to show his talent when a great sage from an ancient royal family comes knocking on his door with his ultimate imperial weapon.

"war!"

Chu Tianshu raised the three-colored longsword in his hand and swung it fiercely, unleashing an extremely sharp sword light.

The next moment, the entire universe darkened, and all the myriad paths of heaven and earth groaned in despair, seemingly unable to withstand Chu Tianshu's attack.

At this moment, the Fighting Saint Emperor, who was originally sitting cross-legged, sensed the sharp sword light, and his eyes suddenly opened, shooting out two divine beams that pierced through the universe.

At the same time, the immortal iron rod on the Fighting Saint Emperor's lap instantly unleashed a terrifying and unparalleled supreme imperial might, and endless battle intent surged towards Chu Tianshu like a raging wave.

Under the oppressive force of that fighting spirit, space twisted and distorted, as if it were about to crumble into dust.

"How brave!"

The voice of the Fighting Saint Emperor seemed to come from the ancient times, carrying boundless imperial might and shaking heaven and earth.

He suddenly stood up, brandishing his immortal iron staff, and unleashed his extreme power, which collided directly with Chu Tianshu's sword light.

In an instant, the light was blinding, and a world-destroying power erupted. At the point where the two clashed, space was torn open with black rifts, and a surging energy storm raged wildly in all directions, destroying countless star seas.

"As expected of a peerless warrior who dared to transform into a battle immortal, his strength is indeed extraordinary." Chu Tianshu was secretly shocked.

In the instant they clashed, an extremely violent imperial force rebounded from the sword's edge, causing Chu Tianshu's arm to go numb and his blood to surge, almost causing him to lose his grip on the Purple Cloud Sword.

"Come again!"

Chu Tianshu suppressed his surging blood and qi, and once again charged towards the Fighting Saint Emperor with the Purple Cloud Sword.

A terrifying and unparalleled battle of gods has begun!

Chu Tianshu and the illusory image of the Fighting Saint Emperor were locked in a fierce battle. The nine divine forms collided with the Fighting Saint Emperor's laws, and endless Dao and Law intertwined at this moment, instantly shattering countless star fields. The entire desolate edge of the universe was plunged into a scene of impending doom.

After a long while, Chu Tianshu finally seized the opportunity and annihilated the Thunder Tribulation phantom of the Fighting Saint Emperor with a single sword strike.

As the illusory image of the Fighting Saint Emperor fell, Chu Tianshu's figure also emerged from the tribulation lightning.

At this moment, Chu Tianshu's body was covered with countless wounds, and the extremely domineering Battle Emperor Law was attached to the wounds, preventing them from healing.

Drops of purple, blood from the Great Accomplishment Body flowed down the wound, falling into the starry sky and dyeing the entire desolate land purple.
