Eternal Heavenly Emperor

After launching over a hundred moves, Chu Hao felt significant progress in his application of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique. He then switched to his own creation, Infinite Chaos, where the Yin and Yang Qi were in disorderly opposition, yet equally terrifying in power.

His comprehension of the Chaos Intent Realm was still vastly insufficient. As of now, the Yin and Yang Qi only involved two elements, water and fire. The day he could perfectly utilize the mutual conquest of the Five Elements to form the "Great Chaos" would naturally elevate his power to a higher level.

Ultimately, achieving true Yin and Yang, positive and negative, would be terribly frightening.

However, once he changed his sword moves, the alien War Venerate finally saw an opportunity to counterattack.

This War Venerate was quite frustrated. He was a whole four minor realms higher than Chu Hao, yet he hadn't had a single chance to strike back until now, which was suffocating for him. Now that Chu Hao changed his tactics, he immediately fought back, eager to return the favor.

Yet he shockingly discovered that although Chu Hao's new sword technique was rough and full of flaws, its power was truly terrifying.

It was like a drunk man wielding a sword, lacking any method but holding a peerless treasured sword that could kill with a single touch. This sight would alarm anyone.

Chu Hao's sword technique was similarly frightening now, tearing apart even the fabric of space. Chaos surged from the void, filled with terrifying destructive power, which greatly troubled the War Venerate.

Within the disorder of the void, there was only endless chaos and ferocious energy, a place not even a War God would dare to enter.

Chu Hao entered his own realm, using Infinite Chaos as the spear and Taiji Tianyuan as the shield, advancing and retreating freely in attack and defense.

Over the past year, he mostly focused on enhancing his Soul Seed and expanding his Life Spring, with little time spent on practicing swordsmanship. However, with high-level insights, things naturally fell into place, and his two sword techniques continuously refined in real combat, rapidly increasing in power.

No matter how fierce the attacks from the alien War Venerate were, a single move of Taiji Tianyuan would keep him impermeable; and with a strike of Infinite Chaos, he could force the War Venerate back.

In just a short while, the two had exchanged a thousand moves, yet the battle remained undecided.

"Enough, pass!" a War Emperor spoke up, halting the fight. He looked at Chu Hao and nodded, saying, "Young man, you have great talent and impressive combat power. I hope you remain humble and strive to reach even higher."

"Yes!" Chu Hao replied solemnly.

Boom, all were astounded.

Just previously, the appearance of the Dragon Crown Prince had significantly overshadowed others with his dazzling brilliance. The alien races were somewhat okay since they had known about the existence of the Dragon Crown Prince and now felt greater pride due to diverse racial involvement.

However, the talents from the Nine States were deeply impacted, developing a sense of powerless decadence until now. Chu Hao's emergence, challenging five levels up without defeat, greatly boosted the morale of the martial artists from the Nine States, restoring much of their confidence.

Still, the Dragon Crown Prince remained the most radiant presence, a thirty-two-year-old War Emperor was truly astonishing, leaving all but to look up in admiration.

Chu Hao descended and transmitted to Fat Cat using divine sense, "What is in the void?"

"The void? It's the opposite of the universe, filled with endless chaos and violent energy. If not for the spatial barriers keeping them apart, the energy from the void would overflow massively, and our current universe would collapse immediately!"

"You see, both the Mustard Seed Ring and Minor Worlds are established within the void, alongside the Teleportation Array, which uses void principles to fold space, bringing two vastly distant points within mere inches of each other," Fat Cat explained, still not completely finished, seemingly prepared for a lengthy discussion.

Chu Hao, however, had a major revelation, murmuring in a very low voice, "On Earth, the scientific community believes the universe is divided into positive and negative, where there is matter, there must be antimatter, where there are black holes, there must be white holes, one positive, one negative, forever in opposition."

"Could my Chaos Intent Realm possibly evolve into a cosmic level of opposition and balance?"

Rumbling thunderously, in the distant skies, thunder roared and lightning surged, causing even a War God to frown.

Fat Cat's fur bristled immediately, saying, "You brat, did you just say something extremely blasphemous? Even the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation has been drawn out by your words!"

Chu Hao was surprised. He had merely mused about the duality of the universe; could it really be that exaggerated?

But he also learned from Fat Cat that should a martial artist breakthrough to War God, they would face a trial by Thunder Tribulation. Achieving War God meant truly shedding the mortal coil, completely undergoing Elemental Transformation, and assimilating with the elements of heaven and earth, acquiring infinite power to manipulate the Elemental Power of heaven and earth—a leap in life form.

Heaven did not allow mortals to steal this power, thus it sent down Thunder Tribulation to eliminate such beings. However, the heavens also left a slim chance of survival. Thunder Tribulation wasn't necessarily fatal; with sufficient strength, one could indeed overcome it.

However, the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation was different; it represented the balance of the cosmic laws and strictly prohibited any being that might disturb this balance. As soon as such a presence emerged, it would be obliterated.

Chu Hao was astonished, realizing that there was indeed a divine will in the unseen. Regarding the future course of his Chaos Intent Realm, he needed to be cautious. He could only keep it to himself and not voice it out, otherwise, he might attract the annihilation of the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation.

It makes sense, too. If the Chaos Intent Realm continuously evolved, from the realm to the field domain, then to the laws, and finally to the cosmic level, wouldn't the entire universe's survival and destruction lie within a single thought of his?

If the universe does not exist, where then does the Heavenly Dao stand?

Affecting the existence of the cosmic laws, this was no longer a matter of being balanced or unbalanced, the Heavenly Dao would naturally bring down a divine thunder punishment to obliterate him.

But this also proved that this path was worth pursuing. Although no predecessors had trodden it and there was no one to guide him, as long as he reached the end, he would truly be invincible!

All students were categorized into three levels, naturally, ordinary students were the fewest, lower grade next, and the Inferior were the most. Of course, being able to enter the War God Academy meant one was a top-notch genius, anyone picked at random would be a key cultivation target in any sect.

Students of different levels naturally received different treatments, and as far as the currently known "benefits" go, ordinary students received a War God-crafted Heart of Elements every month.

This was incredibly precious.

The War God's body had completely undergone Elemental Transformation, embarking on the path of comprehending the laws, and could condense corresponding elements to materialize, which was referred to as the Heart of Elements. Refining the Heart of Elements could impart Elemental Perceptions of the corresponding element.

What did the Upper Three Realms cultivate? Wasn't it Divine Sense, the control over Elemental Power?

However, for War Gods, materializing elements came at a certain cost and couldn't be mass-produced; therefore, only ordinary students could receive one each month.

Want more? Sure, earn it yourself.

The Academy would issue some tasks, and upon completion, students could earn points, which could be used to exchange for the Heart of Elements.

And the Heart of Elements wasn't the only treasure available, there was also War God's Blood, which was even more precious. Just how terrifying was the Elemental Power within it? To put it bluntly, a drop of blood from a War God could be enough to annihilate a War Emperor!

Of course, the War God's Blood exchanged through points was definitely processed by the War God, removing its malevolent energy, leaving only the Elemental Perceptions and boundless energy behind, making it equivalent to top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the best material for Body Refinement.

Whether an ordinary student or an Inferior one, the most important thing was to earn points, and for the same task completed, an ordinary student earned four times the points of an Inferior, and twice that of a lower grade.

This naturally made all students sharpen their heads to drill into the ordinary level, this gap being like one is the biological child, another is the step-mother's, and another is a slave's child.

All students were given a Communication Stone, which could communicate with the War God Academy's main stone from any corner of Sky Martial Star; it was created by a War God who specialized in Tool-Forging.

This device was a bit like a phone. If directly activated, it would only transmit the voice to the main stone, but if a serial number were added, one could dialogue through the main stone with the corresponding Communication Stone.

Thus, if two people were close, they could exchange serial numbers. If not acquainted, they wouldn't give it out, nor worry about being disturbed by others.

Chu Hao and Su Wanyue immediately exchanged serial numbers, and at night, they received a notification from the Academy asking them to report their required Heart of Elements attribute. They would be distributed the next day, and thereafter on the first of every month.

Other people had it easy, but Chu Hao was troubled because strictly speaking, he possessed three Intents.

But Yin and Yang Qi along with Six Elements completely didn't match; probably no War God could refine the corresponding Heart of Elements, so in the end, he had no good choice but to choose the Thunder attribute.

After relaying the message through the Communication Stone, the next morning, everyone received their corresponding Heart of Elements, but Gu Qingcheng obtained one of the Thunder attribute and gave it to Chu Hao.

"This lady has not broken through to War Venerate, it's useless to me, naturally, it should be given to my man!" she said, which nearly made the opportunistic Gu Fei explode with rage.

He had told Gu Qingcheng just yesterday to get a gold attribute Heart of Elements, which he needed for his Elemental Perceptions, but Gu Qingcheng didn't care about him at all, nearly breaking his big brother's heart.

Chu Hao secluded himself for cultivation, but didn't start refining the Heart of Elements immediately, instead opting to observe it.

This Heart of Elements looked like crystal, entirely aquamarine, and if looked closely, one could see the surge of Thunder Element inside it, containing terrifying power.

"It seems that there are at least six War Gods in this academy; otherwise, it's utterly impossible to provide up to six types of Heart of Elements, as no War God would comprehend multiple Elemental Powers at the same time."

"The Main Laws among the Three Thousand Dao are so numerous, each branch is enough for one to spend a lifetime comprehending. One can perceive several laws, but they can only serve as auxiliary, never investing too much effort in them."

"Now let's see how adept the War God in the academy is with Elemental mastery."

He sat cross-legged, clasping the Heart of Elements in his hands, and began refining.

He activated the Flame Furnace but found the effect wasn't significant, for a simple reason, because the Heart of Elements was a War God's perception of elements, not power, naturally limiting its effectiveness.
