Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Fat Cat chuckled, "That's why that guy is sealed beneath Black Iron City, relying on a great formation to lock up his life force, and he's been in a state of deep sleep, with the passage of his lifespan extremely slow; he's probably just lost a few thousand years at most."

A few thousand years... The War Gods can only live for a thousand or two thousand years.

"However, Black Iron City isn't considered a very strong seal; if it had been arranged a bit more ingeniously, perhaps only a few hundred, or even several dozen, years of lifespan would have been lost," Fat Cat said further.

Chu Hao pointed at Fat Cat and said, "When talking about someone else, don't forget yourself; you are also an old monster that doesn't die. It's strange, weren't you also sealed in Black Iron City? Your cultivation was even pitifully low back then, so how did you live for so many years?"

"Hehe!" Fat Cat smirked and after a while, said, "Actually, the seal of Black Iron City is not bad. But it was originally prepared for that madman alone. Later on, I squeezed in there too and took up most of the space; that's why that madman ended up losing a few thousand more years of his lifespan."

The skin on the faces of Chu Hao and the two others twitched; this Fat Cat really was a troublemaker, causing someone to lose thousands of years of life for no reason.

"It's fine, that guy will surely become the Master of the Stars in the future, possessing a lifespan of over a million years; a mere few thousand years are nothing! But it's different for me. I severed my own realm, and I can't withstand such torment, so of course, I have to take good care of myself," Fat Cat defended.

"You don't need to say anymore, now everyone knows you're a troublemaker!" Chu Hao waved his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not how you talk about someone," Fat Cat yelled indignantly.

Chu Hao became serious and said, "So you're saying that the so-called great disaster involves those Star Masters, Domain Lords, and Realm Masters, who will invade Sky Martial Star?"

Currently, the openly recognized strongest figures on Sky Martial Star are only the seven War Gods in the Nine States. The Alien Race has more, but only over three hundred. If they were to meet with a Star Master, they might all be annihilated in one move, so how could they hope to stop them?

"So, you must improve your strength as quickly as possible, at the very least, to be able to survive under the great disaster," Fat Cat said without confirming or denying, merely urging Chu Hao and the three others to cultivate faster.

"Your physiques are all incredibly strong, and you have the potential to become the strongest; the future depends on you!" it said.

Chu Hao felt a shiver, "Why do I feel like you're part of a cult?"

"Pfft, how many times have I said it, I am an auspicious sign of heaven and earth, do you want to eat my slap?"

"You're right; strength is the foundation!" Chu Hao nodded. When he had enough strength, the first thing he would do was to return to Spirit Spring Sect and give War Emperor Kongming a good thrashing. And there was also the Gao Family, who had sent people to kill him time and time again; did they think he was made of mud to be molded at will?

Previously, a total of four War Emperors had chased after him, obviously from three different families. One of them must have been from the Gao Family, and the other two... thinking about the people he had killed at the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly, these two families were probably the Duan Family and the Zhu Family.

Moreover, their whereabouts must have been leaked by Lu Youxing and Qin Chou; these two also couldn't be spared.

"After eating our fill, let's go search for the Spirit Core," the four of them stood up and started to search in the huge Abyss.

But this was no different from searching for a needle in the ocean; the place was simply too vast, and their Divine Sense and vision were greatly restricted, naturally making the search all the more difficult.

"Mmm, mmm, ah, ah, ooh, ooh." Yun Cai kept communicating with the invisible Spatial Crystal Insect in her arms, giggling and laughing. After three days, she suddenly said, "Crystal is asking what exactly we're doing?"

"You don't know we're looking for the Spirit Core?" Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh and cry at this; did the girl only have food and play on her mind?

"Oh, oh, oh." Yun Cai communicated again with the Spatial Crystal Insect, and after a while, she said, "Crystal says it knows where the Spirit Core is."

"Really?" Chu Hao and the others were surprised and delighted.

"It's possible," Fat Cat nodded. "Spatial Crystal Insects naturally live here; it's not strange for them to know where the Spirit Core is."

"Then why don't they just eat it themselves?" Gu Qingcheng asked.

"Spatial Crystal Insects feed on spatial nodes; no matter what else, even if it's genuine Divine Medicine, they wouldn't give it a second glance," Fat Cat explained.

"Hahaha, big boobs no brains indeed," Yun Cai laughed heartily.

"You brat!" Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes.

"Let it lead the way; let's go quickly," Chu Hao urged.

"Gaga, gaga, you're not going anywhere!" A voice filled with murderous intent suddenly came through.

"Who!" the four of them asked instinctively.

"Next year on this day will be your memorial!" A figure emerged from the darkness, enshrouded in Elemental Light, obscuring his appearance.

Chu Hao burst into laughter and said, "Old dog, your intelligence really is problematic, we've long seen your true face, and you still keep covering it? Truly, you're a thief with a guilty conscience, not afraid to show your face."

"How dare you!" the man was furious, but he also withdrew the Elemental Light from his body; it was the War Emperor from the Gao Family. During these days, he had finally nursed his injuries back to seventy percent of his health and immediately came to kill, fearing that Chu Hao and the others would escape from the Abyss and perhaps hide in the War God Academy where he could no longer reach them.

"To think that you would show yourself on command like a good dog," Chu Hao said coldly, not sparing any sarcasm.

The Gao Family War Emperor was furious and let out a long howl as he charged at Chu Hao, "You little bastard, I'll kill you first!"

Chu Hao was unafraid and threw a punch to meet the attack.

"Seeking your own death!" The Gao Family War Emperor grew even angrier. How dare a mere War Venerate confront him head-on, nearly making him explode with fury. His eyes swirled with rage as his Soul Seed condensed the Gold Element, forming a mass of black Sharp Swords behind him. With Runes flashing, they shot out at an incredibly fast speed.

Here, although his power had plummeted, his opponent was in the same situation; hence, he could still instantly kill Chu Hao.

"The only one to die will be you!" Chu Hao activated his Unique Life Spring. Right now, all his abilities were suppressed, except for the Unique Life Spring, which was unaffected.

Bang Bang Bang Bang, the iron swords bombarded Chu Hao's body, but they were turned into groups of black radiance, subsequently reverting to their pure Gold Element form and dissolving into the world around them.

Under the absorption by the Unique Life Spring, the Gold Element-infused Soul Power from the Gao Family War Emperor naturally dissipated instantly, reverting the iron swords to their original state.

"What!" The Gao Family War Emperor couldn't help but be shocked; Chu Hao was actually able to resolve his attack so effortlessly? This was far beyond his understanding and something he could not accept.

Everyone knew that in a fight with suppressed combat power, even a War Emperor wouldn't dare to take his attack head-on, let alone a lowly War Venerate.

Su Wanyue also stepped up; while Chu Hao's Unique Life Spring could only absorb attacks, hers could rebound them, presenting a more threatening power.

"Merely two ants!" The Gao Family War Emperor let out a scornful sneer. Not just two War Venerates, even a thousand or ten thousand would only meet their end under his merciless crush, "Come at me together; it will save me some time."

Su Wanyue and Chu Hao joined forces to attack the Gao Family War Emperor—everyone's strength had been weakened, but a War Emperor could still crush a War Venerate. It was only because they both had the Unique Life Spring that they had the capital to fight back.

Bang Bang Bang Bang, the Gao Family War Emperor made his move, but his face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

Attacking Chu Hao, all his attacks seemed to vanish into thin air, while attacking Su Wanyue, they could even bounce back!

Absorbing attacks was somewhat acceptable because forming Three Great Life Springs in the Middle Three Realities granted the ability to absorb the power of Alien Races; it's just that it usually wasn't as exaggerated as this. But rebounding attacks was something he couldn't accept.

—Who else could defeat this woman?

As long as he attacked her, it was as if she and his own body were joining hands to strike himself. Who could withstand that!

The War Emperor was almost in tears; how could he have encountered such two freaks, wouldn't they be invincible? But he immediately thought to himself, if such abilities had no limit, why did they flee at the start? Clearly, they could not absorb or rebound attacks from a War Emperor level, and so they had to escape.

But now in this place where combat power was suppressed, their special abilities were unaffected. Therefore, his attacks, which were reduced to a War Venerate level, were being absorbed and rebounded.

A War Emperor was indeed a War Emperor, quickly grasping the key point. He turned his gaze to Gu Qingcheng and Yun Cai, refusing to believe that both of them would be just as monstrous.

First, kill these two women!

He surged into the air, turning and attacking Yun Cai.

"Save me!" Yun Cai cried out as she rushed over to Chu Hao. Although she was belligerent, she wasn't foolish—knowing her own power was severely suppressed, she obviously couldn't match a War Emperor and naturally fled immediately.

"Hmph!" Chu Hao and Su Wanyue both faced the challenge, launching a fierce attack on the Gao Family War Emperor.

But the Gao Family War Emperor could not do anything about their Unique Life Springs; he didn't even bother to attack them directly, making their Unique Life Springs useless. However, Su Wanyue protected Gu Qingcheng, and Chu Hao guarded Yun Cai. For the moment, it caused no issue.

Yet defense wouldn't last forever. Over time, there was bound to be a slip-up. Besides, they couldn't keep their Unique Life Springs running endlessly.

The situation remained highly unfavorable for Chu Hao and his group.

"Oh no!" Yun Cai let out an exclamation, "Crystal has been hit by that stinky old man and has run off without a trace."

"We can't worry about that guy right now!" Chu Hao responded, as he was too preoccupied at the moment.

Yun Cai could only pout and started hurling insults at the Gao Family War Emperor, "You stinky old freak, dead old man, may your son be born without an asshole!"

The Gao Family War Emperor was enraged, as those who opposed him were typically powerhouses in their own right—none of them would say such things. He unleashed his divine might, seeking to crush this cheeky girl, but Chu Hao shielded her with his body, protecting Yun Cai so thoroughly that the War Emperor's efforts were in vain.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe you can keep this up forever!" His eyes shot out a cold light; Chu Hao and Su Wanyue were too monstrous— he couldn't allow them to leave alive.

Chu Hao and Su Wanyue struggled on, sweat dripping—both feeling the immense pressure.

"Look, Crystal's back! Ah, there are so many Crystals now!" Yun Cai suddenly shouted.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com.)
