Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Everyone was agitated. These martial artists from overseas were too tyrannical! Just because their opponents were too weak and embarrassed them by getting injured, they wanted to put someone to death!

"Take this!" Guan Feng didn't bother replying and directly wielded his weapon, charging towards his opponent to attack.

"Some strength, but far inferior to mine. I'll just use half my strength to have some fun with you!" Hu Meng said indifferently, leaping up and engaging in a fierce battle with Guan Feng.

As one of the strongest War Kings, whether in terms of Star Force or Body Technique, Guan Feng had reached the pinnacle of the War King's limit. To surpass him in strength? Not a single War King could achieve that, not even Chu Hao or Su Wanyue.

Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Hu Meng to overpower Guan Feng in terms of strength, but his movements were incredibly agile and his power indeed was not the slightest bit weaker. They continued to clash fiercely, exchanging blows in intense combat.

So strong!

This was the unanimous assessment of Guan Feng and Hu Meng by the crowd. Both had already reached the peak of the War King Realm, and it was extremely difficult to improve even a hint of combat power.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a hundred moves.

"Bragging for nothing, you're not that great after all!"

"You boasted about defeating all the geniuses of the Nine States, only to meet your match so soon."

"Better roll back and drink your milk!"

The martial artists from the Nine States began to relax, Guan Feng's strength giving them enough confidence. He truly deserved to be the strongest War King at the Great Perfection of the Middle Three Realms and was not at all inferior to Hu Meng.

That guy earlier must have been taken by surprise and got defeated in seconds.

"Heh!" Hu Meng let out a cold smile. "What a bunch of clueless hicks. Didn't I just say that I was only using half of my strength? Do you really think that was all of my combat power?"

"Hu Meng, stop toying around, finish that guy off quickly!"

"How many moves has it been and you still haven't won? Do you want to shame us completely?"

"If you can't win within ten moves, I'll tear off your fox's tail."

The newcomers from overseas revealed an impatient demeanor, some even started threatening Hu Meng.

"Kill!" Hu Meng's gaze turned frosty as he thrust both hands forward, instantly transforming them into two huge, black claws, the size of manhole covers, with black mist swirling around them.

"Fox God Claw!" He shouted loudly as he moved his claws, reaching out to grab Guan Feng.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the black claws lit up with white runes, brimming with an immense atmosphere.

"Heavenly Level Martial Art!" The powerhouses from the Upper Three Realms exclaimed simultaneously.

What!

The others were utterly shocked. Although every major family had Heavenly Level Martial Arts as their ultimate techniques, the problem was that such techniques could only be cultivated by martial artists of the Upper Three Realms!

This Hu Meng was clearly just a War King!

Guan Feng felt a terrifying chill rise from the bottom of his heart, instinctively sensing huge danger. But being a genius, he immediately roared and burst out with all his strength, surpassing his usual performance.

Swipe!

With the enhancement of the runes, the black claws possessed horrific destructive power, tearing right through Guan Feng's defenses. The shadow of the claws passed, and Guan Feng was instantly blown away, covered in blood, with a wound stretching from his left shoulder to his right hip.

Thump, Guan Feng crashed to the ground, immobile, but barely clinging to a breath of life.

Defeated, even Guan Feng was defeated, and so effortlessly at that, completely outclassed by the opponent's ultimate move!

No wonder, after all, that was a Heavenly Level Martial Art!

"You do have some strength, to survive a strike from my Fox God Claw and not die, I'll spare your life," Hu Meng said proudly. "Any more trash want to fight?"

The martial artists from the Nine States were furious, but with Guan Feng defeated, who could possibly be a match for this seemingly delicate-looking youth?

"I'll fight you!" the Barbaric Girl jumped out.

"Oh, a little girl?" Hu Meng scoffed.

"Little brat!" the Barbaric Girl scoffed back, crossing her arms in a dismissive stance.

Enraged, Hu Meng started yelling and immediately leapt toward the Barbaric Girl to attack.

"Hmm?" Shi Ang revealed a look of confusion, his gaze locked onto the girl, his expression growing more perplexed, and his face even trembling slightly, as if he had encountered something inconceivable.

Although the ten War Emperors had been watching the battle, their divine sense was powerful enough to take in everything on the field, especially since the other party was a powerful Body Cultivator War Emperor, a focus of their attention.

Noticing the change in his expression, the ten War Emperors were puzzled. Did the girl have some peculiar quality?

If there was something peculiar, it was that the girl was an innate Body Cultivator, a rarity indeed. It seemed that only the young man from the Duanmu Family was also an innate Body Cultivator, a prodigy that only appeared once every tens of thousands of years. Unexpectedly, two such talents had appeared in this era!

——But with this Shi Ang included, that makes at least three of them.

Hu Meng and the Barbaric Girl fought fiercely. In terms of strength, Hu Meng had the upper hand because he was a Star-Body Dual Cultivator, but the innate Body Cultivator excelled in defensive power, which was so formidable that even sustaining some attacks didn't really matter.

If not for this, Body Cultivators wouldn't be so dreaded by Star Force Warriors.

Unless there was some special technique, Star Force Warriors needed to possess a power advantage of one full Realm to inflict real damage to Body Cultivators. Such special methods included Chu Hao's constitution fire, Su Wanyue's Ice Frost Power, and Yuan Tiangang's spatial power, all related to a powerful physique.

Great Perfection Starlight also posed a threat to Body Cultivators, but its effect was equivalent to when Chu Hao still had the Nineteenth Flow physique and wielded Green Flame. But as Chu Hao's physique grew stronger, the killing power of his constitution fire had long surpassed that of Starlight.

The two quickly fought for over a hundred rounds, with Hu Meng slightly ahead, but it was by no means certain that the Barbaric Girl would lose.

On the side of the Overseas Legion, those young people began to jeer again, urging Hu Meng to finish off the Barbaric Girl quickly.

"Hu Meng, stop!" Shi Ang suddenly spoke up, his expression intense.

At the War Emperor's command, Hu Meng didn't dare disobey, but his face was colored with reluctance. "My lord, I have not yet used my true strength, I can surely win!"

"Presumptuous!" Shi Ang coldly rebuked, "Kneel down and apologize to the Saintess!"

"The, the Saintess?"

Not only were the people from the Nine States completely baffled, but even the Overseas Legion found it incredulous. How did a Saintess suddenly appear out of nowhere?

But the Barbaric Girl didn't care about that. Her fighting spirit was ignited, and she intended to have a satisfying battle! With a roar, she let out a dragon's cry that seemed to make heaven and earth tremble!

She charged forward, and in an instant, her hands transformed into two golden dragon claws. The effect was somewhat similar to Hu Meng's, except her claws lacked Runes.

Spurt!

All of the Overseas Legion couldn't help but spit out in shock—dragon claws, and golden at that!

This is... a descendent of the Golden Giant Dragon!

Hu Meng's face went pale instantly. The Dragon Race was the most powerful among all tribes, and although they were the fewest in number, each of them was incomparably strong. Plus, the Dragon Race naturally possessed Dragon's Might, which had a significant suppressing effect on all creatures, especially the tribes, making him feel as if all of his strength was about to collapse.

Bang!

He was sent flying by a Dragon Fist, and even with his Body Cultivator's physique, his left shoulder still bore a bloody hole, nearly piercing through it entirely.

Yet, none of the Overseas Legion showed anger but instead looked at the girl with eyes full of reverence, as subjects would look upon their queen.

"Hahahaha, I am indeed the strongest!" The girl put her hands on her hips, brimming with pride.

"Girl, come with me." Shi Ang called out to the girl, gesturing for her to approach.

"Weird uncle, why should I go with you?" the Barbaric Girl asked, tilting her head.

"Indeed, why should she go with you?" War Emperor Qingfeng's Dharma Body stepped forward, "She is a Martial Artist from our Nine States!" An innate Body Cultivator, one who arrives every few thousand years and reaches the War Emperor is equivalent to another type of War God, standing as the strongest combat power in the world.

"Haha, how ridiculous, she carries the bloodline of the Golden Giant Dragon and is the most noble Dragon Race Saintess of our tribe!" Shi Ang snorted, "Here, her bloodline would just be wasted!"

Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng looked at each other, both clever women, they immediately recalled Hu Meng's dragon claws shimmering with Runes, while the girl's lacked any.

Could it be that Hu Meng was able to use Heavenly Level Martial Techniques because of those Runes?

Wait, Body Cultivators can't use Martial Techniques, can they?

For a moment, both women felt their thoughts jumbled, as if the martial arts knowledge that had long been established was now being disrupted.

"Fat Cat, you must know what's going on!" Gu Qingcheng caught Fat Cat and questioned it, the Cat Demon had also left the palace, otherwise as long as there was a second creature present, Chu Hao wouldn't be considered the king.

"How indecent!" Fat Cat struggled in a hurry but was firmly grasped by Gu Qingcheng and had to relent. "As you all know, in my time, what you call Ancients Times, Sky Martial Star had countless strong ones, and Divine Beasts coexisted."

"Cut the nonsense, get to the point," Gu Qingcheng was impatient.

"Divine Beasts pursued the path of Body Cultivation until they reached War God. Then, they would open a second path, seeking the heavenly laws and comprehending the laws of nature with their bodies."

"Upon reaching War God, Divine Beasts typically choose to take human form because the human form is the most suitable for cultivating the Tao. Some Divine Beasts would mate with humans and produce offspring, and such beings... are what you call innate Body Cultivators."

"In fact, whether it's Star Force Cultivators or Body Cultivators, all are but branches of the path of cultivation, diverging initially but converging ultimately to the path of comprehending the laws of the cosmos."

"By the end of the Ancient Times, a great change occurred in the world, and the entire Sky Martial Star fragmented into the Nine States and the Sea Domain. The Nine States were inhabited entirely by humans, whereas in the Sea Domain dwelled the descendants of those Divine Beasts."

"There are rare cases, however, when humans appear with Divine Beast bloodlines, like that girl!"

After Fat Cat finished, Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng were stunned. They had thought innate Body Cultivators were a rarity that came once in ten thousand years, but according to Fat Cat, it seemed like those in the Overseas Legion were all innate Body Cultivators!

"How can that be, aren't innate Body Cultivators unable to cultivate Star Force?"
