Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Chu Hao had many plans, such as asking several War Venerates to act as protectors, to suppress the Life Spring within his body to prevent it from causing a massive explosion. However, the Life Spring was in the Dantian, within his own Minor World, which outsiders simply couldn't touch, so how to suppress it?

Even if there were more War Venerates, they could only ensure he wouldn't die, but if the Life Spring exploded, it would be gone; how could it then merge?

This plan was immediately rejected by Chu Hao.

Besides, if it were so simple, wouldn't there have long been geniuses with a Unique Life Spring in history? Where would his chance to create history be?

Some fantastical methods he believed could work, but after discussing with Fat Cat, he was immediately ridiculed by the Cat Demon, which tore his ideas to shreds, pointing out the dangers. Chu Hao also felt he was being too naive.

Just then, the final war between the Copper Valley Tribe and the Poplar Tribe began.

Both sides deployed all their combat power; this was the last battle, and no one would hold anything back.

On the vast plains, the two sides faced each other with their weapons drawn, while on the other side was a huge valley covered by a hemispherical barrier that no one could enter.

This was Holy Valley, where the Holy Object resided, the thing for which all tribes had bled and died.

All War Chariots had been brought in, usable or not, because they were the key to unlocking the Holy Valley.

After this battle, the victor would be able to open Holy Valley, retrieve the Holy Object, and become the king of all tribes, ruling for countless years until the royal authority decayed and eventually reverted back to the over a hundred tribes, waiting for a new sacred war to begin.

"Kill!" Both sides finished their rallying speeches and the horn sounded for the final battle.

"Chu Hao, come out and fight me!" Yuan Tiangang bellowed, driving his War Chariot through the sky and challenging his opponent.

Chu Hao drove his chariot to meet him; this was an excellent opponent, and he wondered if he could push him to make that crucial step.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two clashed fiercely, and Chu Hao immediately found himself at a disadvantage.

"Hahaha, half a year has passed, and you haven't improved at all?" Yuan Tiangang laughed arrogantly. "I'm different, my Sea of Corpses Intent Realm has improved by another fifty percent. You are no match for me now!"

Indeed, Yuan Tiangang's Intent Realm had grown stronger, the Sea of Corpses expanded several folds, and the bones within were even more formidable. Chu Hao was nearly dragged into the depths if he weren't careful.

"This is definitely not your own doing, you must have used some sort of method, right?" Chu Hao said, knowing that enhancing one's Intent Realm was not so straightforward. He hadn't thought of enhancing his Intent Realm to counter Yuan Tiangang, but without increasing his Soul Power, the power of his Intent Realm naturally stagnated.

Without reaching War Venerate and cultivating the soul, he indeed enhanced awareness of the Intent Realm, but the power of the Intent Realm was limited; otherwise, wouldn't anyone less than a War Venerate easily suppress it?

Yuan Tiangang's Intent Realm was definitely not normal.

"Hahaha, even if it is, so what?" Yuan Tiangang sneered. He had a Treasure Artifact given to him by a Supreme Being, which he was unable to use before. But after his battle with Chu Hao, the seal on the artifact suddenly vanished. After using it, his Soul Power surged, and his Intent Realm saw an improvement of over fifty percent!

He now had enough confidence to annihilate Chu Hao.

"Come and fight!" Chu Hao invoked his Purple Crystal Sword, unveiling the Taiji Tianyuan, blending the Chaos Intent Realm within it, his defense was watertight.

Even though Yuan Tiangang's Intent Realm far surpassed his, he still could not break through Chu Hao's defense.

This was mainly due to the War Chariots.

For even if Yuan Tiangang's Soul Power was strong, he had not yet stepped into the Venerable Level, but was far beyond War King Peak. But now everyone had a War Chariot in hand, which elevated their strength to Venerable Level, thereby significantly reducing the threat of the Intent Realm.

Chu Hao once again felt immense pressure, with life and death hanging by a thread.

He suddenly came up with a crazy idea.

Could he merge the Three Great Life Springs together with Su Wanyue?

He had the Extreme Yang Physique, and Su Wanyue had the Extreme Yin. If they merged the Three Great Life Springs together, could they neutralize the destructive forces generated? No one in ancient times had ever succeeded in merging the Three Great Life Springs. Could it be because the Taiyin and Taiyang physiques were too rare? And even if they did appear, would it be by accident that both parties were at the same point, both reaching the peak of War King?

Moreover, it was definitely a mad venture. If it didn't work... both of them would die!

The Taiyin and Taiyang were among the strongest physiques in the world. If they grew successfully, they could become the world's mightiest. Who would be insane enough to attempt such a thing?

He wondered if Su Wanyue would be willing to join him in this madness!

Chu Hao thought to himself, after all, this was an unprecedented path. If they failed, and the likelihood was high, both of them would be doomed.

"Hahaha, you call yourself a genius?" Yuan Tiangang snorted contemptuously, continuously swinging his black staff, unleashing wave after wave of attacks infused with the Sea of Corpses Intent Realm, terrifying in their power.

Thankfully, War Chariots and Treasure Tools could not enhance each other; otherwise, if they could boost his strength to War Emperor level, there would be no point in fighting at all.

"In my presence, you have no power to fight back!"

"A complete and utter waste!"

Yuan Tiangang incessantly mocked, raging with anger for becoming Chu Hao's "sparring partner." He had always been Cang State's number one genius, yet he could only serve as a stepping stone for someone else, how could he be willing to accept that?

Moreover, he had quickly grown to the brink of the War King's limit, but that Supreme Being hadn't even given him a second glance, driving him into envy-crazed madness!

Why should Chu Hao stand above him?

"Go to hell!"

Wielding a black cudgel, the moment he left the ancient relic behind, he planned to present Chu Hao's corpse to that Supreme Being, even if he was struck dead by a blow from the latter, just to win some pride for himself.

He, Yuan Tiangang, was absolutely a genius!

Chu Hao was defending with great difficulty, as the 250% Sea of Corpses Intent Realm already surpassed his Chaos Intent Realm's defensive limit. Had it not been for his possession of a War Chariot to deliver attacks potent enough to threaten Yuan Tiangang, making the latter unable to fully unleash the Sea of Corpses Intent Realm's power, Chu Hao would have already been in dire straits.

Even so, a layer of black appeared on Chu Hao's skin, a result of the Sea of Corpses Intent Realm's erosion. Under the corruption of the evil aura, even his body cultivator's physique was insufficient to resist.

However, Chu Hao's fighting spirit soared. His right hand wielded the Taiji Tianyuan Sword Style, while his left hand continuously transformed into fists and palms, counterattacking with the Sky Wind Eight Styles and Dragon Fist, forcing Yuan Tiangang to be wary and to not dare to overly oppress him.

After this battle, he would surely make substantial progress on the Sword Dao, and he would elevate the defensive strength of the Taiji Tianyuan to new heights.

Heaven and earth were both engaged in a fierce battle.

Outsiders preferred one-on-one fights, while the tribal side favored group warfare, forming formations to charge; if an outsider unfortunately encountered the tribe's soldiers, there was a high chance they would be crushed directly by a squad's formation charge.

Hence, as the battle raged on, outsiders naturally retreated to the sides to engage in skirmishes, leaving the central battlefield to the tribe's soldiers, who were the key to deciding the outcome of this war.

Of course, if all Venerable Level powers amongst the outsiders could unite, they could similarly tip the scales of victory. However, both sides' outsiders neutralized each other, and no one could gain an advantage.

Blood flowed like rivers, murder soared to the heavens.

This was the final battle, and both sides were determined to fight to the death, so even after three days and nights, the bloody conflict still showed no signs of ending—and the surrounding plains had turned into seas of corpses, all the green grass stained red with blood.

Every person was dyed red with blood, whether it was their own or that of the enemy.

There was no mercy, no sympathy here; if one showed the slightest leniency, it was tantamount to sentencing oneself to death.

On this front, outsiders were much better, mostly just dueling to decide winners and losers, rather than desperately landing a fatal blow once they gained the upper hand. After all, who knew which power the opponent came from? If the enemy had a profound background, they might play a trump card, and overturn the situation with a counter-kill in an instant.

For outsiders, they entered here for the sake of gaining strength. If not necessary, they would not fight desperately.

"Die! Die! Die!" Yuan Tiangang's face twisted fiercely; he was the exception, filled with a murderous intent towards Chu Hao, and he was determined to kill this man no matter what, with no one to stop him.

Chu Hao gasped for breath, having continuously fought for three days. His Star Force had long been depleted, and even his physical strength was nearing exhaustion; the only thing sustaining him was a tenacious will.

But Yuan Tiangang was not in a much better state, and the fact that he could still attack indicated he must have also cultivated body techniques, and they were not weaker than Chu Hao's—otherwise, he would have already been drained. Not only that, after launching so many Intent Realm attacks, his Soul Power had been extensively depleted, almost to the point where he could no longer initiate Intent Realm attacks.

"Haha, this place is now a Sea of Corpses, in perfect harmony with my Intent Realm. Here, my Treasure Artifact can unleash its greatest power!" Yuan Tiangang laughed heartily, and amid the black cudgel's swings, he truly launched a terrifying Intent Realm attack.

Chu Hao desperately swallowed Pills to restore his Star Force, but due to high resistance from ingesting too much, the Pills now exerted at most one-tenth of their original effect. He employed the Taiji Tianyuan Sword Style to defend against Yuan Tiangang's attacks.

After this battle, he would definitely persuade Su Wanyue to go on a frenzy with him.

"Wu—" The ancient horn sounded, signifying the victory of one side and also marking the complete end of this Holy War.

"Chu Hao, I'll allow you a few more days to live, but next time, without the War Chariot, I can take your life anytime I wish!" Yuan Tiangang laughed heartily, exuding full confidence.

He decisively turned and left.

This battle was won by the Copper Valley Tribe!

After gathering their forces, all the War Chariots were pushed in front of Holy Valley, ready to take out the Holy Object to return in triumph, and establish a new dynasty.

Humming vibrantly, all the War Chariots glowed together, each emitting a beam of light that converged on the protective screen at the entrance of the valley, soon revealing a portal.

Only outsiders were allowed to enter.

The tribal soldiers were all filled with envy; although they were the victors of the war, the Holy Object was first held high by the outsiders, then handed over to their High Priest.

Suddenly, a large number of outsiders surged into the valley. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
