The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 46: Thunder Tribulation
The next moment, Chu Tianshu decisively threw the Human Emperor Palace into the chaos, preparing it to undergo the baptism of lightning tribulation.

boom!
The moment it escaped Chu Tianshu's grasp, the Human Emperor Palace shone brightly, with countless crimson-gold streaks of light descending from the palace. Terrifying divine might spread through the chaos, almost as if it were about to topple the entire universe.

"As expected of a treasure forged from nine immortal metals, even before it has passed the Dao Proving Tribulation, the power of the Human Emperor Palace far surpasses that of ordinary imperial weapons."

Chu Tianshu smiled and repeatedly praised the performance of the Human Emperor Palace.

His creation of the Human Emperor's Palace was not merely to boost the fortunes of the human race; it also involved considerations for his own future transformation.

The path to immortality through nine lifetimes in the mortal world is extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong in any of these lifetimes, and you end up in a state of annihilation like Lingbao, then things could get really messy.

Chu Tianshu racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. Finally, he thought of the power of faith.

How do we define a person's death?
Physical body? That's not quite right.

Forgot?

Yes! Only forgetting!
When a person dies physically, he is not truly "dead," at least his family and friends still remember him.

Only when, decades later, all his relatives and friends have passed away and his last trace of memory of the world has completely disappeared, can this person be considered truly dead.

For a supreme being like Chu Tianshu, even if he were to pass away, even if all those who knew him were to pass away.

However, in the ancient history of the world of "Covering the Sky" and in the memories of the human race, there must be traces of his existence.

Whether it takes 100,000 years, 1 million years, or even longer, his name will surely be sung by the world.

However, the further back in time, the fewer people knew about him. Perhaps in the end, all they knew was that the human race once had such a great emperor.

But as long as someone remembers him and his achievements, the power of faith will naturally arise in the unseen world.

As the saying goes, what you keep in mind will eventually come to pass.

Once Chu Tianshu reaches this level, he will be able to sense if someone in the human world or the universe worships him.

However, relying solely on the beliefs of the masses was probably not enough to awaken him from his annihilation, which led to the creation of the Human Emperor Palace.

It was not only the treasure Chu Tianshu used to suppress the human race's fortune, but also the beacon when Chu Tianshu fell into a state of annihilation, and his own protective treasure.

In times of crisis, the Human Emperor's Palace will amplify the power of faith of the people, awakening the gradually sinking Chu Tianshu and preventing him from truly perishing.

At the same time, the Human Emperor's Palace also served as a testing ground for Chu Tianshu.

It is said that the power of faith possesses all sorts of incredible abilities.

There are even legends that the power of faith can resurrect the deceased and bring them back to life.

This piqued Chu Tianshu's curiosity, so in the Human Emperor's Palace, there was not only his own golden statue of faith, but also the golden statues of the Sun and Moon Holy Emperors.

He wanted to see if the power of faith truly possessed such heaven-defying might.

He had only been groping his way across the river on the path to immortality through nine lifetimes of mortal life. Apart from being a more certain immortal than those supreme beings in forbidden zones, he was also surrounded by darkness.

The specific methods of transformation need to be created by oneself, and the various changes encountered on the path to immortality need to be experienced by oneself.

You can only rely on yourself for everything.

If it is true, if he encounters a great calamity one day, he might be able to return through the Human Emperor's Palace and walk the path of immortality again.

Even if the rumors are wrong, it doesn't matter; it's just an experiment.

That is why the Human Emperor's Palace is so important to Chu Tianshu.

If it weren't for his deep connection with the fate of the human race and his overly close entanglement with the power of faith, he would have truly wanted to use the Human Emperor's Palace as his means of proving his Dao.

Unfortunately, nothing in this world is perfect. Even the most supreme beings have their regrets.

Rumble!
Just then, the aura leaking from the Emperor's Palace was finally sensed by Heaven and Earth.

Endless calamity light gathered in the chaos, and the originally dark chaos immediately transformed into a sea of ​​lightning.

The tribulation for achieving enlightenment in the Human Emperor's Palace has finally arrived!
Only by overcoming the tribulation of enlightenment and undergoing the baptism of lightning can it be called a true supreme imperial weapon and have a chance to achieve Chu Tianshu's vision.

Rumble!
With a deafening roar, several thick bolts of Heavenly Annihilation Divine Lightning instantly descended, slamming heavily onto the Human Emperor's Palace.

In an instant, endless laws of lightning manifested, striking the Emperor's Palace as if to utterly destroy it. The immense power instantly threw the surrounding area into chaos.

In the dim light, even the chaos was almost split apart by the endless lightning tribulation.

Chu Tianshu's gaze was cold, and he did not choose to interfere with the Human Emperor Palace's tribulation of attaining enlightenment.

If it can't even overcome the tribulation of attaining enlightenment and needs his help to get through it, then the destruction of this Human Emperor Palace is just that—destruction.

Chu Tianshu didn't take this ordinary supreme imperial weapon seriously, as it was not even as strong as his physical body.

If it can't even survive this kind of tribulation, why should Chu Tianshu believe that it can help him in the future?

Anyway, there are still quite a few of the nine immortal metals in the Chaos Small World, enough for him to refine two or three more heavy weapons.

Having one more or one less Supreme Emperor Weapon has absolutely no impact on Chu Tianshu.

Rumble!
The great calamity continued, but its power grew increasingly terrifying, almost comparable to the calamity of an ordinary cultivator's path to enlightenment.

Even the supreme imperial weapons of the former Dao-proving beings were manifested by the tribulation lightning and rushed towards the Human Emperor's Palace.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor Palace was forged from nine immortal metals, and it was also personally prepared by Chu Tianshu, a Heavenly Emperor-level being.

Therefore, the marks of those supreme imperial weapons posed no threat to the Human Emperor's Palace.

On the contrary, the power of the Human Emperor Palace became even more terrifying in the collision with these supreme imperial weapon imprints.

There seemed to be a terrifying power that spanned the universe and suppressed all the heavens.

"The Palace of the Human Emperor, you have indeed lived up to my expectations."

"Show your might! Proclaim your arrival to the heavens and earth!"

Chu Tianshu stood with his hands behind his back, watching the figures of the Human Emperor Palace fighting against the lightning tribulation, and murmured to himself.

Buzz!
As if sensing Chu Tianshu's expectations, the Human Emperor Palace suddenly shone brightly, its body stretching across the chaos with terrifying power, and crashed into a furnace-shaped supreme imperial weapon mark.

Click!

In an instant, the furnace-shaped Supreme Emperor Weapon was smashed into pieces by the Human Emperor Palace, turning into endless rain of light and disappearing into chaos.

Immediately, the Human Emperor Palace became even more ferocious, slaughtering in all directions amidst the lightning tribulation, smashing the imprints of those former supreme imperial weapons to pieces.

As time passed, the Human Emperor Palace continued its conquest amidst the tribulations of lightning, its aura growing ever more terrifying, and its light ever more dazzling.

That terrifying power, which spanned the universe and suppressed all the heavens, seemed to spread throughout the entire chaos, and it seemed to be truly about to transform into an unparalleled divine weapon.

Even faintly, Chu Tianshu could sense an aura of immortality emanating from the Emperor's Palace.

Is the Human Emperor's Palace evolving into a Celestial Artifact?

Chu Tianshu naturally sensed that immortal and indestructible aura as well.

Although he had never seen a celestial artifact, he was certain that the immortal and indestructible aura it exuded was definitely not within the realm of humanity.

"It seems that this Emperor's Palace is even more impressive than I imagined."

Throughout the mortal world, there are very few immortal artifacts, so few that they can be counted on one hand, and most of them have been passed down from extremely distant eras.

Only the immortal cauldron of the emperors of the mythological era is clearly recorded as being crafted by "modern people".

Even the Heavenly Treasure of the Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable should not have become a Celestial Artifact yet, and should still be evolving.

Even in the era of Emperor Ye Tian in later generations, the number of immortal artifacts did not exceed two hands.

To forge a supreme immortal artifact, one needs at least the intervention of a Heavenly Emperor who has reigned for several lifetimes, and then undergo a long period of transformation.

In the novel *Covering the Sky*, almost all the immortal artifacts crafted by humans came from this method.

The Emperor's Ascension Cauldron, the Heavenly Treasure of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, the Undying Heavenly Blade of the Undying Emperor, the Beginningless Bell of the Beginningless, the Empress's Immortal Sword, and Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Cauldron.

The Human Emperor's Palace wasn't built haphazardly, and the protagonist wouldn't hand it over to anyone else; it's a supreme treasure for protecting the path.
