Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"It seems you paid a hefty price for the strength you have now!" Chu Hao shouted.

"A hefty price?" Yuan Tiangang nearly went mad, "You will never understand how much hardship I have endured for this, living every day as if I were in hell! But, I will allow you a taste of it, hahahaha!"

Has this guy gone mad?

Chu Hao laughed out loud, saying, "That remains to be seen if you truly have such strength."

"Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!" Yuan Tiangang attacked once again. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, a series of attacks came at Chu Hao, but this time it was clear that they were infused with his Spatial Physique, disappearing in a flash in the air, but when they reappeared, they had already traveled a great distance, striking Chu Hao from all directions.

Chu Hao snorted, clenched his fists, and unleashed his Dragon Fist. With booming sounds, his terrifying power vibrated the space, pulverizing the attacks one by one.

Although their power was amplified by the War Chariot, their physique could not be strengthened in the same way, thus the role of physique was reduced by countless times. After all, the War Venerate was too powerful, and now that they were both equivalent to an Eighth Tier War Venerate, the role of physique was almost negligible.

The two engaged in fierce combat, with horrifying forces violently shaking. The War Chariots crisscrossed continuously, and two great talents clashed again after their encounter on the Fledgling Dragon List.

Truly a formidable adversary, terrifying in strength, and with a chilling intent to kill, I cannot afford to be careless.

Chu Hao's fighting spirit surged like a blaze reaching for the sky, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.

"Not bad, not bad, you do have some strength! But, in front of me, you still only have the share of defeat!" Yuan Tiangang laughed loudly, and with a fierce look in his eyes, a terrible Intent Realm surged out.

Buzz!

Chu Hao felt as if a sea of blood had risen in his mind, filled with skeletal remains, each one having died in a particularly miserable way, enough to drive someone of weaker courage insane. These bones started to rise, reaching out to drag him into the sea of blood.

His heart grew cold; his Divine Sense turned into a sword, slashing continuously. Swish swish swish, he instantly cut through the sea of blood.

This was, after all, his Sea of Consciousness. He was the sovereign master here.

Opening his eyes, he saw Yuan Tiangang charging at him, with a fist coming down, an Air Blade stabbing straight towards his brow.

Chu Hao let out a cold huff, and his Chaos Intent Realm burst forth, counterstriking against the oncoming assault.

Yuan Tiangang's attack came to a halt as his own Sea of Consciousness became a Chaos under the impact of the Chaos Intent Realm. However, he quickly recovered after a moment and showed a look of surprise, saying, "You actually also cultivated an Intent Realm?"

Indeed, that attack just now was an assault of Intent Realm.

But Yuan Tiangang's Intent Realm was just too sinister, consisting of a sea of blood and countless dead! Knowing that the forming of an Intent Realm relates to a Martial Artist's experiences, Chu Hao, with his Taiyang Body and Dual Cultivation with Su Wanyue, was thus able to cultivate the Chaos Intent Realm.

Had Yuan Tiangang been immersed in a sea of bloody corpses all these years, which shaped such an Intent Realm?

Therefore, his white hair and the chilling aura that enveloped him were understandable. What normal person would not undergo a drastic change in personality, even appearance, while living in such a state for an extended period?

"You really are desperate for power!" Chu Hao said coldly.

"All thanks to you!" Yuan Tiangang gritted his teeth. He recalled the experiences of the past years. That supremely powerful being told him directly that he could enhance his Cultivation, surpass Chu Hao, and through a peculiar method, helped him grasp the Sea of Corpses Intent Realm.

But all this was not because of his talent, but merely to provide Chu Hao with an opponent, to motivate Chu Hao!

He was just a pathetic sparring partner!

The Heaven Talented of Cang State, once the top contender on the Fledgling Dragon List, was merely fit to be a sparring partner?

The shame led Yuan Tiangang to endure unimaginable, non-human tribulations; not only did he become a War King of Great Perfection, but he also elevated his Intent Realm to two-tenths!

Two-tenths of an Intent Realm, what does that mean?

Not every practitioner in the Upper Three Realms could cultivate an Intent Realm, but if they did, there would be a limit, and two-tenths were relative to that limit. Simply this two-tenths of Sea of Corpses Intent Realm could allow him to slay all opposition among War Kings, which was terrifying indeed.

And yet, even with such achievements, that Supreme Being did not spare him another glance. Only at the beginning of the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly did he flick his hand, and Yuan Tiangang was sent flying through space, crashing directly into the Light Gate.

Clearly, in the eyes of that Supreme Being, he was still just a pitiful sparring partner, regardless of his achievements!

He would not submit. He must kill Chu Hao to prove himself and to show that Supreme Being that Chu Hao wasn't worth such attention, that Chu Hao would only be trampled underfoot by him.

But to his surprise, Chu Hao had actually also cultivated an Intent Realm!

"Hmph, your Intent Realm has reached at most one-tenth, which is nothing compared to my two-tenths!" Yuan Tiangang became arrogant once more, his hands vibrating as he kept launching out Air Blades. On the other hand, he continued using his Sea of Corpses Intent Realm.

In Chu Hao's eyes, his surroundings had turned into a sea of blood and corpses, with bodies floating and sinking everywhere, each one horrific and terrifying, trying to drag him into the sea of blood to sink forever.

He firmly protected his Divine Sense, seeing but as if not seeing, while his Chaos Intent Realm launched a counterattack at Yuan Tiangang. He couldn't just be on the defensive, or a single mistake could mean irreversible doom.

The Intent Realm is something that a War Chariot cannot amplify, nor can it defend against, yet the degree of danger greatly increases.

Because, even for the powerful of the Upper Three Realms, mastery over the Intent Realm is not guaranteed, could its might be weak?

In such a contest, should anyone fail, they are very likely to be left a vegetable, or even have their Divine Soul directly erased, turning into an empty shell.

Chu Hao had to admit that the opponent's Intent Realm was indeed stronger than his, but his Chaos Intent Realm, composed of Taiyin and Taiyang, was ordered and formed a circle, without any weaknesses, invincible in defense. When disordered, Taiyin and Taiyang were like water and fire, incompatible, generating a terrifying repulsion that could obliterate everything.

Therefore, even though his grasp of the Chaos Intent Realm was actually less than ten percent, he was able to barely hold his ground against Yuan Tiangang's Sea of Corpses Intent Realm, but inevitably, he found himself at a disadvantage.

This was also the first time in Chu Hao's life that he had ever been on the back foot in a battle against someone of the same tier.

This did not leave Chu Hao feeling dejected, but rather he was greatly enthused, his fighting spirit soaring. Standing at such a height, the number of people who could match him blow for blow was exceedingly few; this was a rare opponent, who could perhaps prompt a breakthrough.

——If Yuan Tiangang were to know this, he would surely rage even more, for he was "created" to put pressure on Chu Hao, to allow Chu Hao to advance faster, and indeed it was now developing in this manner.

In the heavens above and the earth below, great and bloody battles raged on, Combatants of the War Venerate level each had their own adversaries, fighting furiously.

Chu Hao no longer cared about the outcome of this battle, in fact, aside from military achievements, the victory of the sacred war has no difference to outsiders, so long as one survives and could switch allegiance.

Especially like Chu Hao and the others, who had already reached the peak of the War King level with almost no possibility of advancing further, earning military achievements and exchanging for Spiritual Medicine was but to accumulate for a breakthrough to War Venerate in the future.

His combat spirit ablaze, he bloodily battled Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang cooperated fully; he too wanted to sever Chu Hao's head, to prove to that Supreme Being that he was the true Heaven Talented.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

Both young kings fought fiercely, blood smeared everywhere, accumulating injuries.

Chu Hao, who had practiced Body Technique, recovered from injuries very quickly, while Yuan Tiangang was even more terrifying. No matter how heavy the blow, no blood would flow from his wounds; it was as if his flesh and bones had turned to dead wood, splitting open and healing automatically.

Wait, this seemed familiar.

A thought struck Chu Hao, and he suddenly said, "You encountered this in the Seven Extremes Ancient Tomb!"

He finally realized that Yuan Tiangang's bizarre abilities were much like those of a zombie, and the scenes of blood sea and skeletons, full of death, were also highly consistent with the Seven Extremes Ancient Tomb.

"Correct, I indeed received guidance from a Supreme Being in the Seven Extremes Ancient Tomb, acquiring strength above you! Therefore, Chu Hao, you are inferior to me! My strength is greater, my encounter more exceptional; you cannot match me!" Yuan Tiangang coldly stated, the pain in his heart not meant to be a stepping stone.

"Haha, that still has to be determined in a fight!" Chu Hao roared with laughter, drawing the Purple Crystal Sword, his Sword Qi piercing the sky.

"Hmph, before me, everything is illusory!" Yuan Tiangang too summoned a completely black stick, wreathed with dark mist, turning into numerous skull heads, remarkably daunting.

"Break!" He brought the stick down in an attack, with numerous skull heads opening their jaws wide, snapping forward.

Chu Hao shuddered; this was a true Ancient Treasure Artifact, not something that merely increased the wielder's combat power marginally, but also possessed an attached Intent Realm attack!

A true Venerable Device, incomparable to ordinary Third Rank Treasure Artifacts.

"Hahahaha, Chu Hao, you're just courting death. I was going to toy with you a bit more!" Yuan Tiangang grimly said, swinging the black stick, summoning more skull heads to bombard Chu Hao.

This was exceedingly terrifying. Even if Chu Hao maintained his utmost defense, utilizing the Chaos Intent Realm to fully protect himself, he still felt his soul was about to be torn apart, causing him unmatched agony.

Fortunately, he did not let Gu Qingcheng follow him this time; otherwise, having to look out for another person, the situation would have been even more difficult.

Chu Hao did not back away, but instead, with all his might, met Yuan Tiangang's attacks head-on.

This was a perfect trial by fire. Though life-threatening at every turn, how could he possibly achieve a breakthrough without such life-and-death pressure?

Indeed, he intended to use this pressure to overcome the integration challenge of the Three Great Life Springs.

On the foundation of Great Perfection, advancing one step further to form the Unique Life Spring—what kind of combat power would that hold?

Chu Hao greatly anticipated it.

The two fought from heaven to earth, then from the ground to the skies, the battle exceptionally intense.

Chu Hao was clearly at a disadvantage, bleeding incessantly, his Divine Soul nearing collapse under the assault of the two great Intent Realms, but this great battle was drawing to a close.

——The allied forces of the Copper Valley Tribe and the Poplar Tribe had secured victory in this war. (To be continued.
