Eternal Heavenly Emperor

This is good news.

Yun Cai is an Innate Body Cultivator. Once she breaks through to the War King realm, it means that the number of people who can pose a threat to her will be pathetically few, limited to Chu Hao, Su Wanyue, and a handful of other individuals with terrifying physiques.

More crucially, the War Chariot she controls will also be able to unleash the mighty power of the War Venerate level. This is high-level combat power that can truly tilt the balance of victory and defeat in war.

Another month later, Gu Qingcheng and Fu Xue also successively broke through to the War King level.

This was mainly thanks to Chu Hao, who shared his own Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with them. Combined with their previous accumulation, they finally experienced a massive breakthrough after a period of intensive preparation.

From this, one can see how many benefits this Ancient Ruin has brought them?

Apart from Su Wanyue, the four of them were Warriors before. Now, they have all become War Kings, and this only took a year and a half.

Of course, this is also related to their natural talents. Otherwise, even with so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they couldn't have improved their realms so quickly. Additionally, the military exploits Chu Hao had earned were indeed substantial, allowing him to exchange them for so many treasured resources.

Su Wanyue also made progress, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the other three women. She had only advanced to the Fifth-Tier War King level. However, her physique, after refining the Thousand Cold Ice and going through a period of accumulation, had fully erupted.

According to Fat Cat's calculations, Su Wanyue's current physique should have reached the Twelfth Flow, even Eleventh Flow, stronger than Chu Hao was initially.

This is natural. Thousand Cold Ice is something even War Venerates dare not touch. It would be strange if refining such a treasure didn't result in a terrifying boost. Now, the strongest capabilities of Chu Hao and Su Wanyue are actually not Martial Techniques or strength, but rather the abilities derived from their physiques!

One is flame, able to melt everything, the other is frost, capable of freezing all things.

Compared to them, Gu Qingcheng and Fu Xue fall far short. Only the Barbaric Girl can barely contend, but it's still very strenuous; even with her formidable physique, she can't directly confront Chu Hao's flames or Su Wanyue's ice blades.

Naturally, Gu Qingcheng became consumed with jealousy, feeling increasingly inferior in her war with Su Wanyue. Her way of counterattack was to intensify her "seduction" of Chu Hao, causing him pain and pleasure simultaneously.

Having a peerless beauty by his side was certainly a feast for the eyes, but steering two boats at once is no easy task, leaving him endlessly troubled.

And if other people knew of such troubles, they would surely die of envy — whether it's Su Wanyue or Gu Qingcheng, both are stunning beauties of this world, and yet he still finds it bothersome?

After three months of negotiations, the Copper Valley Tribe finally formed an alliance with the Poplar Tribe, and needless to say, the War Wolf Tribe must have joined hands with the Yin River Tribe. Otherwise, they could only be defeated one by one.

The two major tribes held a celebration ceremony, where both sides deployed all their high-end combat power to showcase their strength.

"Miss Su, it's been a long time!" A tall young man strode forward. This person was truly remarkable, possessing the aura of a king. Every step he took seemed ordinary, yet the people around him were involuntarily thrown backwards.

He even had visions around him. From time to time, a Divine Crane would spread its wings behind him, radiating supreme divine might, causing an intense trembling in people's hearts, and making them too afraid to look directly at him, forcing them to lower their gaze in fear.

This is a true king!

Even though Su Wanyue's face was covered with a white veil, Chu Hao could feel the disgust emanating from her. He frowned and stepped forward, asking, "Who are you?"

"And who are you?" The young man with the kingly aura asked indifferently, composed, neither angry nor anxious.

"He is Shi Heng!" Su Wanyue leaned in and whispered.

This man is Shi Heng!

Chu Hao had heard from Su Wanyue that Shi Heng was one of the ten most powerful War Kings who had entered the ruins. He was very strong, and now he was unquestionably a Peak War King, possibly even Ninth or Tenth Tier!

For such a talent, reaching the Great Perfection state was certainly not difficult.

However, this man had dared to entangle himself with Su Wanyue before, which made Chu Hao long ago condemn him to death, his expression turning icy in an instant.

Shi Heng saw how close Chu Hao and Su Wanyue were, and for the first time, a flicker of anger crossed his usually calm face. He said to Chu Hao, "No matter who you are, you are already a dead man!"

"Ha! That's exactly what I was going to say to you!" Chu Hao retorted.

"Do you dare to fight?" Shi Heng challenged.

"If you wish to die so much, how could I not fulfill your wish!" Chu Hao replied coldly.

"You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Shi Heng snorted.

"Enough!" A War Venerate stepped in, pressing his hands down and saying, "Right now we are all on the same side. Wounding anyone is a loss for us all!"

This person was a War Venerate from the Copper Valley Tribe. In saying this, he was actually helping Chu Hao, because he could see that Shi Heng was at least an Eighth-Tier War King, while Chu Hao was only Fifth-Tier. There was an obvious three-tier difference on the surface, not to mention Shi Heng might have reached the Ninth or even Tenth Tier.

Of course, he didn't want Chu Hao to lose, as it would be a blow to the prestige of the Copper Valley Tribe.

"Haha, we're all warriors, what's wrong with a little sparring?" A War Venerate from the Poplar Tribe stepped forward, "How about this, each of us sends out some youngsters for a series of ten sparring matches?"

"Great!" The High Priest of the Copper Valley Tribe immediately agreed.

Although the two great tribes had formed an alliance, the issue of which had more say was a problem, thus the significance of these ten sparring matches was extraordinary as they could be seen as determining which tribe would take the lead.

However, combat power at the War Venerate level was definitely not to be used, and once the fighting started with enthusiasm, it wouldn't be good for others to intervene, so the competition became one of War Kings.

Each side would put forward ten War Kings to fight in the arena, and the side whose warriors all fell first would lose.

The four great tribes now were all strong and powerful, with dozens of War venerates each, not to mention the War Kings. There were at least a thousand, including natives and outsiders, but now for the sparring, it didn't matter whether you were native or foreign, the strongest would step forward.

If there was time, there might even be an internal ranking battle within the tribe to select the ten strongest War Kings, but there was no time for that now. The High Priest stepped in personally, choosing the Ten Kings with his keen insight.

Among these Ten Kings, only three were natives; the rest, seven, were all outsiders. Chu Hao, Su Wanyue, and the Barbaric Girl snatched three spots, and the other four were Guan Feng, Lu Youxing, Duanmu Changtian, and Qin Chou.

The Ten Kings from the Poplar Tribe were quickly decided as well, and among them, Su Wanyue recognized three: Shi Heng, Ma Tiandong, Gao Heji—the original Ten Kings from the high platform, true kings who fought their way up with strength.

Looking at this, the situation seemed to be disadvantageous for the Copper Valley Tribe because they had only two supreme kings, while the Poplar Tribe had three!

But adding Chu Hao and the Barbaric Girl to the equation, the situation dramatically changed.

Both sides began to arrange their troops and strategies. The Copper Valley Tribe decided to send Yun Cai to lead the charge, while the Poplar Tribe sent out a native, an Eighth Tier War King, completely overpowering the girl in terms of strength.

On the vast grasslands, a huge space was cleared, with the two tribes positioned to the east and west to watch the battle, cheering and encouraging their own warriors, while several powerful War venerates were ready to intervene at any time to prevent significant casualties.

With so many War venerates present, the combatants from both sides could fully unleash their combat power without any reservations.

The Barbaric Girl leapt out, eager to join in; of course, she loved eating the most, but aside from eating, fighting was her next favorite activity. How could she miss such an exciting event? Naturally, she vied to lead the charge.

"You big oaf, come at me!" she taunted as soon as she entered the field.

The native War King from the Poplar Tribe emerged, tall and broad, nearly three meters in height. Standing before him, the Barbaric Girl looked like a little girl of four or five, dwarfed by his size.

The strength of this native War King lay in his realm, an Eighth Tier War King!

The laws here were incomplete; humans simply could not cultivate to the ninth tier extreme, let alone reach the Tenth Tier Great Perfection. Hence, when facing Venerable Level beasts at the ninth or tenth tier, the tribes would seem helpless and had to compensate with large numbers of troops.

"Ao!" The War King roared, charging forward while swinging a bone rod. This was the relic bone of a Great Perfection Realm Beast King, nourished generation after generation by Tribal Warriors with their own blood. Its hardness had surpassed that of treasure artifacts at the same tier and was inching toward the level of a War Venerate.

The Barbaric Girl, fearless, went straight into the fray with her fists held high.

Boom!

A loud thud resounded, and the girl was sent flying back. Still, her delicate hands remained unharmed, displaying the terrifying extent of body cultivation.

Upon witnessing this, the strongest kings like Shi Heng and Guan Feng showed no surprise. They all stemmed from prestigious families with profound backgrounds; they had practiced body techniques as well and reached the War King level.

For a superpower, elevating a successor's body technique to War King level was not difficult. What was difficult was advancing into the Upper Three Realms afterward, as the required heavenly materials and earthly treasures were truly hard to come by!

One could say, if someone wanted to continue practicing body techniques after becoming a War Venerate, they would need the support of a War God!

—Or, they would need to obtain treasures from ancient times, like Dragon Tooth Rice. In this aspect, Chu Hao had a clear advantage, as there probably wasn't a second Myriad Spirit Poison Body in the world.

The Barbaric Girl burst into girlish laughter continuously, obviously not taking this as a real fight but as an enjoyable entertainment.

But an innate body cultivator was indeed too powerful; in just over a hundred moves, the native War King was beaten to the ground by her fists, losing the power to continue the fight.

The Copper Valley Tribe took the lead.

Then, the Poplar Tribe sent up another native War King, slightly stronger than the previous one, but still easily defeated by the girl.

The Barbaric Girl began a streak of victories, fighting and winning seven matches, already demonstrating the prowess of the strongest War King.

In the eighth match, the Poplar Tribe finally played their real trump card.

Ma Tiandong.

This was one of the strongest War Kings, who could one day claim the title of Heaven Talented Assembly champion in the Nine States!(To be continued.
