Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Then let's spar!" Chu Hao was also full of fighting spirit, eager to know his current strength compared to which tier of War Venerate.

"Bring it on!" Gu Fei's figure leaped up and he shot into the sky.

War Venerates could fly in the sky, and battles often unfolded above the clouds, especially this kind of sparring, naturally not wanting to involve others, so it had to be conducted in the sky.

Chu Hao ascended into the sky as well, lining up beside Gu Fei.

"Hey, isn't that Gu Fei?"

"Right, the most outstanding talent of this generation from the Gu Family. He stepped into the War Venerable Realm twenty years ago! Back then, geniuses weren't as common as now. Gu Fei was only thirty-seven years old at that time, his talent was truly unmatched!"

"There are too many geniuses nowadays, becoming War Venerates in their twenties, making the previous generation of Heaven Talented seem lackluster!"

"It's not entirely so; some great figures have hypothesized that changes in the heavens and earth's environment have sped up the martial artists' cultivation speed, not that the previous generation's talents are truly inferior to this one."

"That's also true. Gu Fei became a War Venerate twenty years ago, and now he's already Fourth Tier, his speed of progression is simply astonishing!"

"After advancing to War Venerate, even if one could improve by a minor realm in ten years, they could be dubbed a genius. This guy from the Gu Family has a ninety-nine percent chance of becoming a War Emperor, but as for War God... He's a descendant of the Gu Clan, so it should be impossible."

"Who is his opponent?"

"Huh, don't you recognize him? That's Chu Hao, the main character of tomorrow's banquet, the champion of the last Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly, overpowering Yuan Tiangang, Sword Maiden, and many other Heaven Talented, rumored to be designated as the next Family Head of the He Family!"

"So it's a battle between the new and old generations' talents?"

"But Chu Hao is bound to lose, after all, Gu Fei has cultivated twenty more years after entering the War Venerable Realm and is now a Fourth Tier existence. Chu Hao has just barely stepped into the War Venerable Realm, almost four minor realms behind!"

People below who saw this were all discussing animatedly, none believing Chu Hao stood a chance.

"You rascal, defeat my older brother, suppress his sharpness!" Gu Qingcheng was cheering for Chu Hao, angering Gu Fei to the point he almost fell from the sky.

Why did he have to fight Chu Hao?

The competitive spirit certainly was one aspect, but more importantly, it was to give Chu Hao a warning, to make him treat his sister well in the future, which was the protective love of a brother. However, this girl turned out to be too much, already bending her elbow out before even being married off.

Gu Fei looked fiercely at Chu Hao and said, "You little brat, it looks like I really need to give you a good thrashing!"

"You'll need to have the strength to do so!" Chu Hao replied unceremoniously.

"You brat, how dare you talk to your future uncle like that!" Gu Fei got so angry, his nose crooked, and he furiously swung both hands towards Chu Hao.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, seven green Star Force Giant Hands appeared simultaneously, each with a Rune shimmering on it, brutally slapping towards Chu Hao.

"Hahahaha, take my Minor Heavenly Origin Palm!" he laughed out loud.

This was a Heavenly Level Martial Technique. Only a Heavenly Level Martial Technique could condense so many palm imprints from Star Force at once, equivalent to a War Venerate unleashing seven full-powered strikes simultaneously. This was definitely no child's play.

Chu Hao bared his teeth; did his opponent know that he had cultivated a body of War Venerate level physique and that's why he was going so hard, aiming to seriously injure him! He let out a whistle, the Purple Crystal Sword came out, Taiji Tianyuan had already unfolded, forming a black and white Qi Taiji Sword Diagram in front of him.

Thud, thud, thud, the Star Force Giant Hand came crashing down. When the first palm struck, the Taiji Diagram only trembled slightly, but by the second palm, it started cracking. The cracks grew larger with the third, fourth, and fifth palms, and after the sixth palm, the Taiji Diagram completely shattered!

The last Star Force Giant Hand came down with a tremendous momentum!

It seemed like a long time, but the previous six palms almost struck the Taiji Sword Diagram at the same moment, instantly breaking it, and it seemed as if there was no pause at all when the seventh palm struck right in front of Chu Hao.

"Could it be that Chu Hao can't even take one move?"

"What can he do when Gu Fei starts with a Heavenly Level Martial Technique, plus being an entire three realms higher than Chu Hao? This is a disadvantage that simply can't be turned around!"

"Right, between War Venerates, the gap in each minor realm is too big, even the most extraordinary talent can only overcome two minor realms to win against higher tiers at most."

"There's no helping it, Chu Hao is just too young."

The people below all shook their heads. The gap in realm was too great; Chu Hao had no chance of winning at all.

Chu Hao thought it a pity in his heart. After his breakthrough to War Venerate, he had yet to enhance the power of Taiji Tianyuan and Infinite Chaos; otherwise, they would not be broken so easily. But did they really think this would defeat him?

The Unique Life Spring circulated, and he launched his left hand; it was the Dragon Fist!

Boom!

The Star Force Giant Hand struck, the terrifying power surged wildly, completely engulfing him.

"You brat, next time you see me, obediently call me big brother! What the—"

Gu Fei had just begun to flex the might of his future uncle status, but his eyes immediately bulged, because Chu Hao was still standing in the sky, without a scratch.

"Within the same realm, no one can defeat me in one move, even if you are three minor realms above me!" Chu Hao shook his head and said.

"You brat, I only used a third of my strength just now. Don't get too smug!" Gu Fei yelled. He knew this was his sister's sweetheart, so the move just now, though it looked fierce, hadn't even utilized half its strength.

Chu Hao's heart skipped a beat with mild shock, as the gap between each small realm of the War Venerate was just too vast. Originally, with his complete Perfection in the Three Minor Realms and the Middle Three Realms, he could surpass opponents seven or eight levels above him, but now, facing a Fourth Tier War Venerate—and without the opponent even going all out—he already felt it was troublesome.

But what's the fun in defeating an opponent too easily?

His fighting spirit flaring up, he burst out laughing, "Then let me experience it myself!"

"Good, let me show you my true strength!" Gu Fei's expression turned solemn, and a powerful aura burst forth from within him, like a deity incarnate, with resplendent light streaming out from his body.

"Destruction Fist!" With a loud shout, he threw a punch, boom boom boom boom, and instantly over twenty fists appeared in the sky, all hurtling towards Chu Hao.

Each fist was as dark as ink, as large as mountains, each bearing a rune. On closer inspection, each fist was forged of black iron, radiating a cold glint! This was the power of someone from the Upper Three Realms, their Soul Seed connecting with the elemental forces of the world, materializing it directly!

These iron fists were not illusory, but made of the Gold Element, solid and real!

Whistling through the air, these fists were terrifying, as if a single punch could shatter even the heavens and the earth. Moreover, an unstoppable tyrannical presence rippled out, involuntarily raising a sense of awe in others.

The King's Intent Realm?

Chu Hao was startled; Intent Realms were said to be difficult to comprehend, yet the first War Venerate he encountered after advancing himself had mastered one, which suddenly made these realms seem less valuable.

Moreover, the King's Intent Realm was a very special one, not among the Five Elements, nor belonging to the Thunder Series; it cultivated one's self, an invincible heart.

He vibrated his long sword and brought forth Taiji Tianyuan once more, forming a Taiji Sword Diagram around his body while adding the Chaos Intent Realm to it, further enhancing his defensive power.

Boom!

The mountain-like fists slammed down, and even the extraordinary defensive skill like Taiji Tianyuan could not withstand them. Just three punches in and the Sword Diagram shattered. The fearsome fists relentlessly pursued their path toward Chu Hao.

Bang bang bang bang, Chu Hao was hit repeatedly.

The crowd shook their heads, yet they were not surprised.

Fourth Tier against First Tier, this was expected! In fact, the fact that Chu Hao wasn't defeated in the first strike was already extremely impressive, demonstrating his powerful combat power.

"You meanie, going so hard on me, missy here won't leave it at that!" Gu Qingcheng stomped her foot from below.

"Don't worry, Chu Hao will be alright!" Su Wanyue said calmly, as she was the only one who truly understood the terror of the Unique Life Spring.

"Coldy, you haven't been eating sneakily in the three years I haven't been around, have you?" Gu Qingcheng looked at her doubtfully, but immediately showed a smile, "You're still a chick, the smelly rogue hasn't wronged me, so as a reward, missy here is going to push him down tonight!"

Su Wanyue's face turned red involuntarily, the girl with the Nine Charm Profound Body really wasn't shy, such words rolling off her tongue without hesitation.

Xiaocao was staring at Gu Qingcheng, feeling the urge to poison her yet again.

Thunderous booms echoed in the sky, a War Venerate's move was indeed fearsome; iron fists smashed onto Chu Hao's body, breaking into countless fragments that flew in every direction, sending people below scurrying in panic.

—Even if a War King was to be struck by a piece, they would definitely suffer grievous injury, or even straight-up perish, because the presence of runes made their power immensely great.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, several figures leaped off the island at the same time, each taking action, forming a vast net of Star Force to block all fragments of punched power from falling.

These were members of the He Family, all War Venerates.

More and more significant figures began paying attention to this duel among the juniors; although they looked down on such combat power, these two represented the peak of the young generation in the Nine States, and it was very possible that they would one day replace them to become the new tyrants of the Nine States.

Boom!

A figure burst out of the black fist shadows, it was Chu Hao!

His black hair whipped wildly around him, his body marked with numerous bloodstains. The previous punch's power had been too overbearing, even the Unique Life Spring could not absorb it entirely, and it had even shattered his body cultivated physique, causing actual damage.

Yet within him flowed the Laws of Life, even though it was just a trace, it qualitatively surpassed the level of War Venerate, equivalent to the War God.

So, while he appeared to be covered in blood, his internal injuries had long been restored by the Laws of Life, his combat power at its peak.

"Huh?" Gu Feng's eyes bulged in disbelief, his expression showing that he couldn't believe it.

The previous attack was still not his full strength, but a mere First Tier War Venerate shouldn't have been able to handle even a tenth of his combat power, let alone the fact that he had already used eighty percent of it.

Inconceivable!

This brother-in-law was amazing, his combat power completely defied the heavens.

"Now take my sword!" Chu Hao's eyes emitted Divine Light as he dashed forward, his Sword Momentum unfurling, unleashing Infinite Chaos.

The black and white energies transitioned from order to disorder, rolling towards Gu Fei in an overwhelming manner, and upon reaching him, the full power was revealed, simulating the Big Bang, even ripping apart the sky, revealing black fissures from which dreadful cold light shot out.

Seeing this scene, the bigwigs on the island collectively turned pale.

All these were Emperor Level powerhouses, and Chu Hao's strike frightened them; how strong was it really? (To be continued.
