Chapter 242: Chapter 150: An Enemy to the Entire World, Proving the Dao as an Immortal Emperor

RUMBLE!

The vast sky thundered, sending clouds churning for ten thousand miles.

Following an earth-shattering, world-ending collision, the battle erupted in an instant!

Everyone thought a brutal battle would follow.

And that it would end with the death of the Celestial Destiny Emperor.

However, the way things unfolded defied all expectations!

The Celestial Destiny Emperor, who had achieved Enlightenment before the age of one hundred, was using some unknown method to cut down the Immortal Kings one by one, as if harvesting wheat!

In just a few short moments.

More than a dozen Immortal Kings had fallen on the spot, without even a chance to resist!

Their thousands of Daoist Techniques and myriads of Magic Techniques were utterly useless.

The Celestial Destiny Emperor seemed to merely wave his hand—or perhaps, he didn’t move at all.

The Immortal Kings fell one after another, as if afflicted by some kind of curse!

Every Cultivator watching this war among kings was shocked beyond belief.

It was too terrifying, too astounding!

A technique like this was far beyond their understanding of Magic.

"W-what in the world did the Celestial Destiny Emperor do? What kind of technique is this?"

"A curse? Unlikely. To curse so many Immortal Kings to death in one breath... Even the Destruction Sect, which reigns supreme with its Curse Techniques, couldn’t possibly manage that!"

"Could it be... an Immortal Technique?"

"Impossible! The Law within him has yet to take shape, so he can’t use an Immortal Technique. If he could, those Immortal Kings would have fled long ago. Why would they ever attack!"

"I’ve got it! He didn’t comprehend an ordinary Earth Immortal Law, but a Celestial Immortal Law, just like a Master of a Holy Land! That would explain why he can wield power far surpassing ordinary Magic, even though he hasn’t yet ascended!"

"To comprehend a Celestial Immortal Law in less than a hundred years... If he ascends, doesn’t that mean he’ll become an Immortal Emperor?!"

The Cultivators all trembled at this possibility.

Even an unformed Celestial Immortal Law possessed power comparable to a regular Earth Immortal Law!

And once one ascended with it, they would be invincible, without a single rival.

Otherwise, why were the Holy Lands that stood above the Immortal Sects even called Holy Lands?

It was because they each had an Immortal Emperor, capable of suppressing all enemies in the world.

Even Earth Immortals, or Immortal Monarchs at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, were completely unable to resist!

A Celestial Immortal Law possessed power that transcended all else in the world.

Only an Immortal Emperor could fight another Immortal Emperor. This was an eternal, unchanging truth.

"If that’s true, then this Celestial Destiny Emperor is an even bigger problem... Neither the Immortal Sects nor the Holy Lands will want another Holy Land to appear in this world!"

"Unless... unless he can be like Mu Tiange, the Master of the Taiyi Holy Land, and ascend to emperorship over the corpses of countless Earth Immortals, making the other Holy Lands so fearful they wouldn’t dare to make a move!"

Fifty thousand years ago, across the Four Great Realms, there were only three Holy Lands.

They were the Confucian Academy in the Eastern Divine Land,

the Rulai Temple on the Western Continent,

and the Chaotic Star Sect in the North Sea Islands.

At that time, no Holy Land had yet emerged on the Antarctic Ice Sheet; it was a land where the major Immortal Sects vied for supremacy and countless paths to power clashed.

The Earth Immortals and Immortal Monarchs of every Immortal Sect all dreamed of comprehending a Celestial Immortal Law and ascending to become an Immortal Emperor!

However, to everyone’s surprise, Mu Tiange—a mere Loose Cultivator—achieved Enlightenment at the age of one hundred while besieged by numerous Immortal Sects!

The resulting fluctuations in Heaven and Earth naturally attracted the attention of a host of Immortal Kings.

Afterward, Mu Tiange decisively slaughtered the Immortal Kings who had come to besiege and kill him!

Only then did the Immortal Sects realize he had comprehended a Celestial Immortal Law.

Consequently, the Earth Immortals from the major Sects began to hunt him down.

But Mu Tiange only grew stronger with every battle, eventually ascending to become an Immortal Emperor over the corpses of countless Earth Immortals and founding the Taiyi Holy Land.

The Taiyi Holy Land is exceptionally mysterious, accepting only three members each generation: an Elder, a Saint Son, and a Saintess.

Yet, no one dared to underestimate it.

Because Mu Tiange was simply too powerful.

Even among all the Immortal Emperors, he ranked number one.

It is said that Mu Tiange is the only Immortal Emperor to have ever comprehended two Celestial Immortal Laws!

’Could it be... that this Celestial Destiny Emperor intends to walk Mu Tiange’s path to becoming an Emperor?!’

Just as all the Cultivators were reeling in shock and doubt,

High in the sky,

RUMBLE!

a series of thunderous booms pulled the Cultivators back from their thoughts.

Everyone looked up.

High in the sky, they saw the hands of the Immortal Kings begin to glow with a dazzling light.

This light pulsed with a profound and mysterious aura.

The moment it appeared, all of Heaven and Earth began to fluctuate violently!

"It’s... It’s an Immortal Artifact! Those Immortal Kings actually brought their sects’ Immortal Artifacts!"

Countless Cultivators stared up at the sky. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

They were all utterly shocked as they saw the brilliant radiance glowing in the hands of the Immortal Kings.

The main reason Immortal Sects were distinct from smaller sects and Loose Cultivators was their legacy!

This was a legacy of Cultivation Techniques stretching back millions of years, as well as a legacy of Immortal Artifacts passed down through generations!

Not every Immortal Sect possessed an Immortal Treasure capable of contending with an Immortal Emperor,

but every Immortal Sect was certain to have at least one Immortal Artifact.

In fact, they surely had more than just one.

Every single Immortal Artifact was forged from the most precious materials in the world!

Most importantly, every Immortal Artifact contained an Earth Immortal Law!

Although an Immortal King couldn’t fully unleash an Immortal Artifact’s power, the difference in strength between an Immortal King with one and an Immortal King without one was night and day!

The very instant the Immortal Kings brandished their Immortal Artifacts,

RUMBLE—

the heavens began to tremble violently as an endless, profound Earth Immortal Law enveloped all of the Immortal Kings!

KRAK KRAK KRAK—

It sounded as if something was cracking and grinding together.
