Ch 271: The Prelude to Great Turmoil and Calamity!

Not to mention, according to the current situation, if a fight really breaks out, Emperor Yongle will most likely stand by That Person’s side.

Considering everything, Liu Bang naturally doesn’t have the determination to fight, but if That Person forces him, he can only… surrender. Yes, no matter how much he’s forced, Liu Bang is unwilling to choose a path of certain death!

Liu Bang’s only confusion is, why?

It’s already strange enough that First Dragon and Zhu Yuanzhang are hostile towards him… why is this newly emerged tycoon also the same? Especially since, according to the memories he just awakened, this Zhao Chu and Liu Bang should have a pretty good relationship…

“You’re the Black Emperor, aren’t you?” Chu Mo’s words are calm, but very certain. He sizes up Liu Bang, his gaze sharp, “You should have paid attention to… what happened in Jiangning Domain City?”

“I remember, the one who attacked First Dragon… seems to have been a Black Emperor!”

“…This, everyone knows! There’s more than one Black Emperor?!” Liu Bang’s eyes twitch uncontrollably a few times, and he says with some dryness, “Besides, our enemy is Black… Wait, you don’t think I’ve joined Black Sky, do you?”

Liu Bang takes a deep breath, then retorts with an icy expression, “Then why don’t you think about it… you revealed Black Sky!”

“According to your logic, can I assume… you actually have a problem too!”

“That makes sense.” Zhu Di says thoughtfully. Then, he notices Chu Mo’s icy gaze sweeping over, shivers, gives an awkward smile, then glares fiercely at Liu Bang, his expression icy, “Bastard! You actually dare to provoke the relationship between me and Grandfather.”

Liu Bang: “…”

Chu Mo pinches the space between his eyebrows, then gently taps his finger, and a ray of divine soul light shoots out. Liu Bang suppresses the urge to shatter the divine light and fully absorbs it. Then, a large amount of memories flood into his mind.

That’s… the scene Chu Mo saw when he fused with the black tide deep in the Primordial Sea.

Liu Bang is silent, his pupils dilating violently. He murmurs, “…How could this be?”

“?” Confusion appears in Chu Mo’s eyes. He really doesn’t know? Liu Bang really doesn’t have a problem? Or is he just acting… but if he’s still acting now! His acting is too good, isn’t it?

Suddenly, Chu Mo’s expression becomes serious, and he turns his head with some incomprehension, staring intently at the Primordial Sea gap.

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

Then, an aura of great destruction sweeps out.

The four Demon Slaying Swords clang loudly. But even with such fierce killing intent, it’s difficult to resist the black tide, whose intensity and number have instantly increased more than tenfold.

A terrifying giant hand suddenly bursts out from the gap, each finger containing unimaginable power, like living beings. It’s as if five Forbidden existences have emerged together, instantly breaking through four flaws.

The giant palm grabs towards Chu Mo’s direction. Chu Mo senses it… it’s the aura of the Black Emperor! However, it’s Quasi-Sage level.

In that instant, Liu Bang, who was originally stunned and dazed, suddenly stiffens. His expression loses all fluctuation, and his pupils are dyed a pitch-black color. He slams his palm down heavily, distorting the void and beginning to tear apart Chu Mo’s seal on the Three Noble Spirits and the Emperor.

“…Bastard! So there really was a problem.” Emperor Yongle grits his teeth, conjuring a True Martial Heavenly Sword out of thin air. Threads of sword qi pierce through the heavens and the earth, the universe and the boundless realms.

The three avatars that had already surrounded Liu Bang also attack at this moment. Time, space, destiny!

When Chu Mo transformed into the Heavenly Dao, he learned unimaginable magical methods. For example, Liu Xiu, who possessed the Mandate of Heaven and controlled the laws of destiny… and Emperor Wen of Han, who created the mysteries of human prosperity.

Especially after he completed his breakthrough when he came to the end of the Warring States period, he used extra time to deduce. He deduced almost everything that could be deduced to the extreme… after all, his lifespan was already useless at that time.

Liu Bang is almost instantly trapped.

At the same time, Chu Mo directly faces the giant hand that blots out the sky. That palm contains the ultimate law of water. Although its charm is inferior to that of the Black Sky Avatar, its energy intensity is too terrifying. At this moment, the entire world seems to be trembling and shattering.

In response to this.

Chu Mo’s aura suddenly changes. His hair moves without wind, and the Pangu Banner condenses and takes shape above his head. He fixes the universe and the surrounding void!

Chu Mo borrows the Heroic Spirit power of The Primordial Celestial Lord!

If the four Demon Slaying Swords symbolize the strongest killing power, then the Pangu Banner symbolizes the strongest attack power!

Fingers are pierced, and threads of blood seep out. Each drop of blood seems to be a great world unfolding! But even when injured, that hand still grabs towards Chu Mo’s direction regardless.

Chu Mo’s pupils shrink, and he instantly appears next to Emperor Yongle, grabbing his shoulder. At the same time, he also prepares to grab Liu Bang and the others, but soon discovers that their feet have already sunk into the black tide, and at this moment, using the Heavenly Dao Authority can no longer transfer them over.

His gaze deepens for a moment, and Chu Mo doesn’t hesitate at all, taking Yongle directly into the Journey to the West Heavenly Dao World.

In that instant, the Pangu Banner and the many great formations previously set up all shatter and collapse.

The giant hand grabs empty air, slowly clenches its fist, and killing power erupts, almost solidifying, instantly shattering the void for several chaos realm distances.

Even Liu Bang, who was freed from the seal because the three avatars dissipated, and the imprisoned island country gods within this range, their bodies also collapse out of thin air under the killing power… but in the next instant, they rapidly recover.

The palm slowly unfolds, then trembles violently, and dense cracks appear on it, gradually turning into a liquid, which is clearly the black tide.

The black tide sweeps out in all directions at an extremely terrifying speed.

“…What exactly am I!” Liu Bang returns to normal, stunned for a moment. He gazes at his surroundings, “What exactly was my state before… I seem to have lost a part of my memory! Something’s not right, do I really have a problem… Does the Black Emperor Divine Throne really have a problem?”

However, he doesn’t have time to think more, because the black tide spreads to his body at this moment.

“Bastard, what do you think I am!” A ferocious expression appears on Liu Bang’s face, “I, am the Taizu Emperor of the Great Han!”

Black and red qi burst out behind Liu Bang, symbolizing that he was once the Red Emperor, and then transformed into the Black Emperor. A black dragon luck condenses above his head, symbolizing the Divine Province luck that once unified the world!

“Want to turn me into a puppet?”

Liu Bang laughs, his eyes without any emotional fluctuation. Since he’s confirmed that there really is a problem with himself… then he makes a decisive decision!

“Vanish!”

The black dragon combines with the black and red qi, and its aura explodes and sublimates, suddenly crashing into the black tide, just like a punch hitting cotton. It doesn’t stir up the slightest ripple…

“…What?!” Liu Bang is stunned for a moment, then realizes something, smiling bitterly, a look of despair appearing in his eyes, “How could this be… It’s completely useless… Doesn’t this mean… Clearly the world’s limit…”

Liu Bang grits his teeth, his expression becoming ferocious, his whole body is entangled in black fire, and he begins to self-destruct… Then, Liu Bang is completely submerged by the black tide.

◈◈◈

On the other side, the several island country gods who were sealed are also completely submerged by the black tide at this moment.

The black tide is still raging and spreading at an extremely terrifying speed.

As time passes, gradually, several existences with pale gray skin suddenly walk out from within.

“…What a subtle feeling?” Liu Bang emotionlessly clenches his fist and says with emotion, “The power is not bad… It’s a pity! Not much can carry my energy… It’s even less because of the self-destruction…”

The Black Emperor shakes his head, full of regret.

“The most perfect… is still that Heavenly Dao!”

The Black Emperor narrows his eyes, “He also possesses the power of the Black Emperor and even Black Sky… He can carry more of me… Even if he truly merges with me, maybe it will allow me to go a step further… Even when facing…”

The Black Emperor suddenly falls silent, then sighs with some emotion. Liu Bang has now completely become the Black Emperor! Or rather, a shell of the Black Emperor in the human world!

For the Black Emperor, who is located in the chaotic void, every existence that possesses the Black Emperor Divine Throne is sharing and cutting his control over power!

However, this is not entirely a bad thing… after all, belonging to the same power also means that even if he is in the chaotic void, he can communicate with these existences in the main world.

Even, when the situation is suitable, he can devour these existences that share his power and turn them into a part of himself, or use them as a medium to descend upon this vast main world.

“It’s a pity! I don’t have much time.” The Black Emperor says expressionlessly. In the chaotic void, he can’t even be considered the top of the food chain. Once those existences standing on the opposite side react, the plan he previously organized will completely collapse.

“Forget it, try to capture that guy as much as possible… If I can’t capture him! See if I can get some higher-level Heroic Spirits as collectibles… The White Emperor’s Qi State kings figurines! Hmph… Maybe this time I can collect all of them, and the Qin State kings figurines.”

As his words fall.

On the other side, Susanoo completely transforms into a giant bone giant at this moment. Terrifying soul fire is burning fiercely, and he roars like a beast.

Tsukuyomi’s hair is dyed pitch-black, and his whole body carries an ominous aura. His pupils completely turn pitch-black, like a puppet, without emotion.

Xu Fu maintains a considerable degree of clarity at this moment, but when he senses the energy in his body, a bitter expression appears on his face.

“…What? You still want to jump back and forth like before?” Liu Bang Black Emperor instantly appears in front of Xu Fu, gazing at him with some amusement.

“Your Majesty, you’re joking.” Xu Fu’s face is full of humility, but he secretly cries out in his heart. He’s not unfamiliar with the existence in front of him. After all, he had contact and communication with the existence in front of him during the first Primordial Beast Tide more than five hundred years ago.

At that time… this existence couldn’t even be considered the most outstanding existence during that first Primordial Beast Tide! At that time, the island country almost completely collapsed under the black tide… It was he who directly chose to surrender, which saved the island country from destruction. They even acted as the vanguard and attacked the west! Causing extremely huge losses to the Divine Province realms at that time.

Of course, when the black tide receded, he decisively led the island country to jump back… standing on the side of the victors! Even though he had caused extremely huge losses to the Divine Court of the Divine Province, for various reasons, the Divine Court ultimately didn’t risk both sides being injured to level him first afterward…

Taking a deep breath, Xu Fu makes a decision, “That… please follow me! First go to the island country’s Great Realm… Even if you want to invade the great powers in the west, it will be much better if we act as the vanguard!”

Xu Fu makes a decision. Isn’t it just continuing to be a dog for the Forbidden existences behind the black tide like more than five hundred years ago? Small problem!

Then…

Liu Bang gently clenches his hand, and Xu Fu’s pupils slowly dilate. He lets out a miserable scream, and his body gradually shrinks, eventually turning into a toy figurine, falling into Liu Bang’s palm.

“You became a traitor back then… You didn’t think I’d forgotten, did you?” The Black Emperor raises his eyebrows.

“I… I’m not your dog alone!” Terror appears in Xu Fu’s eyes, and he says incoherently, “At that time, the Five Emperors co-ruled the island country Great Realm, you were just one person… Ah?!”

The Black Emperor just clenches his fist, and Xu Fu feels pain that’s difficult to describe in words.

“Then wait until you find other masters! Then talk about other things.” The Black Emperor looks expressionlessly towards the north. Last time he was too kind-hearted, this time… he should still loot the island country first!

Although the number and quality of the island country’s Heroic Spirits are far inferior to the Divine Court’s… he should still collect the island country’s figurines first. With some gains to fall back on, he can then attack the great powers in the west.

He’s not optimistic about the gains he can get from attacking the great powers in the west… Five hundred years ago, the Five Emperors joined forces, and there were also the heavens collaborating behind them, but in the end, the results were such a mess… Now it’s just him alone! He’ll be secretly happy if he can severely injure the great powers…

◈◈◈

Heavenly Dao Journey to the West World.

Chu Mo’s expression doesn’t fluctuate at all. He’s thinking about a very serious problem… There’s no doubt that there are many restrictions for the Black Emperor to enter the main world, and he needs to pay a great price… but the Black Emperor still did so…

Could it be because he showed the aura of a Sage and the Heavenly Dao at close range? Chu Mo is somewhat uncertain.

“…No way? Why is this happening!” Emperor Yongle’s expression is dazed, and his teeth chatter, “A large-scale outbreak of the black tide… In theory, it should be something that happens at the end of the Primordial Beast Tide… As for the Forbidden existences behind the black tide taking action… I’ve only heard of it happening during the first Primordial Beast Tide five or six hundred years ago! Clearly later…”

Emperor Yongle subconsciously glances at Chu Mo, opens his mouth, and finally sighs. He really wants to ask if it’s related to Chu Mo. If it is related, then what exactly did Chu Mo do… But after thinking about it, there’s no point in discussing this now.

Even if it really is Chu… No!

“I see, it’s those island country gods who have wolfish ambitions! They betrayed the realms again, causing the Forbidden existences in the chaotic void to enter again.” Emperor Yongle says expressionlessly. He turns his thoughts a hundred times, organizing his words, “Grandfather, let’s quickly return to the Divine Province… Then, through Nüwa, spread this message throughout the realms, and have everyone prepare!”

Regardless of the real reason, Emperor Yongle is prepared to put the blame on the island country gods… No, it’s not putting the blame, it’s just that the island country gods did it!

If things become even worse in the future, and this blame is even so great that the island country gods can’t take it, he can also put the blame on Liu Bang… Anyway, Liu Bang did indeed betray them before!

The world of adults doesn’t talk about right and wrong, they only think about how to do what’s most beneficial to our side, to our own Grandfather, and to the Divine Province!
