Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"There is such a race?" Chu Hao and the others all turned to look at Fat Cat.

"It seems there is." Fat Cat thought for a moment and said, "In my time, there were not only the local Martial Artists on Sky Martial Star but also many races from the stars beyond the Domain. Perhaps such beings do exist."

Chu Hao and his companions were all astonished. According to the little devil's words, a hundred years for him was only equivalent to one year. So, this fellow who appeared four or five years old was actually a four or five hundred-year-old old monster?

"You old lecher!" Gu Qingcheng slapped out with her foot, sending Xia Yuanchao flying with a kick.

This old lecher was actually pretending to be a child in order to take advantage of her. Luckily, Chu Hao reacted quickly; otherwise, she would have been in big trouble.

"Ouch!" Xia Yuanchao fell to the ground with a thud and rolled back up again, saying, "It's a misunderstanding, our race grows up very slowly; it's not my intention to deceive. I am indeed only five years old, guaranteed authentic."

Who would believe him? Even if his body did not grow, would his wisdom not mature after living for five hundred years?

"Should we still take him with us now?" Su Wanyue asked Chu Hao.

Chu Hao hesitated. If it were a child, having accidentally broken his seal, they couldn't just leave him with no one to take care of him. But now it was essentially an old monster living inside a little boy's body with the Cultivation of the War King level; he wouldn't have any problems.

"At most, we get him out of the Abyss and then leave him be," he said.

After all, this little devil was actually an old lecher; who would keep a lecherous creature by their side?

"Don't, please!" Xia Yuanchao immediately cried out in despair, "I am truly a child, you can't just leave me! Waaaah, I'll cry to show you!"

And the little devil actually did sit on the ground and began to cry loudly.

Chu Hao and the others exchanged glances, feeling that this old monster lacked any self-respect; sitting when he said he'd sit, crying when he said he'd cry, too unreserved.

After thinking for a bit, Chu Hao asked, "Then tell me, why did you seal yourself originally?"

"I'm just a child. My parents told me to sleep a long, long sleep, so I slept," Xia Yuanchao shrugged his shoulders, "How would I know why!"

Watching him, Chu Hao observed that the little devil's face was still covered with tears and his gaze appeared very innocent, not like he was lying.

"What he says should be true," Fat Cat said on the side, "Some races mature slowly, and their wisdom develops slowly as well. Like the elementals, they take tens of thousands of years to form consciousness."

Chu Hao frowned and said, "Isn't the lifespan of mortals only a hundred years? But even without Cultivation, they can live for ten thousand years. If they cultivated, wouldn't their lifespan be longer than a Star Master's?"

"Wrong, no matter how much they cultivate, they only have a lifespan of ten thousand years," Fat Cat stated, "Unless they can break through to the Star Master realm, right, little devil?" The first part of its statement was addressed to Chu Hao, and the latter to Xia Yuanchao.

"You guessed right, Fat Cat," Xia Yuanchao nodded.

"Let's not bother with this little lecher for now. Collect the Spirit Stones here, then return to report to the Academy. Let them know not to send anyone else here. Otherwise, awakening those people won't end well!" Chu Hao looked at the other tombs in the mausoleum as he spoke.

Those capable of self-sealing must have surpassed the level of War God. If they were awakened prematurely, it was unlikely they would be as amicable as Xia Yuanchao the little devil.

A great calamity would play out ahead of time.

"Collect the Spirit Stones!"

Using their Mustard Seed Rings, they began collecting the Spirit Stones—all of them First Grade and highly valuable.

After half a day, they had nearly swept the ground clean of Spirit Stones, arriving back at the entrance to the Abyss.

"Let's go!"

Chu Hao picked up Xia Yuanchao, while Su Wanyue held onto Gu Qingcheng, and the group flew towards the ground.

To be on the safe side, Chu Hao summoned the Western Wind near their destination, allowing the Ancestral Artifact to awaken in advance. The power of the Emperor Level surged, dancing automatically in the air, casting down Divine Light, surrounding Chu Hao and the others within.

"What a lousy Spiritual Artifact," Xia Yuanchao said with disdain after seeing it, then turned to Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng, "Sisters, my family's Treasure Artifact is really impressive. It's a huge bell that could even kill a Star Master with one strike!"

"Stop bragging!"

"Don't call me sister, you little old man!"

The two women rebuked in unison.

Xia Yuanchao immediately pouted, his eyes brimming with tears, looking extremely wronged.

"Stop pretending, ever since we found out you're a five-hundred-year-old monster, acting pitiful is completely useless!" Chu Hao laughed heartily.

Xia Yuanchao rolled his eyes, reminding himself that he must never reveal his age in the future, keeping it as tightly guarded as a woman does with her age.

A half day later, they finally emerged from the mine and saw the light of day again.

"What, they're still alive?"

"What about the ancestors?"

"Could it be they didn't encounter them?"

At the entrance to the mine were a dozen or so people gathered, staring round-eyed and gaping mouthed at Chu Hao and his companions as they appeared, looking as if they were dumbfounded.

Chu Hao's gaze swept over them, and he immediately confirmed that they were the ones who had set up the restrictions on the ground, which had prevented Western Wind from recovering a few days ago. But the strongest among them was only a War King, with quite limited strength.

Indeed, with War Emperors already mobilized, there was no need for those who did the dirty work to have high Cultivation. A War King would suffice.

"You must be surnamed Gao, right?" Chu Hao said, knowing that only the Gao Family would spare no expense to try to kill him—setting up the restrictions to prevent the Ancestral Artifact from awakening, which required a huge sacrifice to arrange.

"Run!" Those dozen or so people all cried out in alarm, quickly fleeing for their lives.

"Forget it, no matter what your surnames are, since you've made a move against me, there's only one path left for you—death!" With a thought from Chu Hao's mind, Western Wind released a Sword Qi, chasing after those dozen or so individuals.

Spluttering sounds ensued as the Sword Qi swept past, and those individuals were inevitably shaken into dust.

Chu Hao used the Communication Stone to contact the academy and reported the events that had occurred in the Abyss, which immediately drew great attention from the academy. They quickly issued a notice to all students, strictly forbidding them from coming here.

But that wasn't safe enough. Some people were full of conspiracy theories; the more they were prevented, the more eager they became. Therefore, the academy would send Experts, to properly deal with it, making sure no one would wake up those who were sealed below again.

Furthermore, the academy also told Chu Hao and his companions to hurry back, wanting to see the little boy who had been sealed for over a million years.

"That's fine, bring him back to the academy, and let the academy's people worry about him," Chu Hao nodded, setting off on the road back to the academy with the ladies.

After returning to the academy, they naturally handed Xia Yuanchao over to the academy first thing, disregarding the little devil's cries and screams—after all, he was an old lecher with the appearance of a little boy.

"Chu Hao, why have you come back now?" As soon as Chu Hao returned to his residence, he was greeted by Duanmu Changtian, whose face was full of concern.

"What's wrong, can't I come back?" Chu Hao asked, puzzled.

"After Xie Huan's tragic defeat, the Alien Race has been furious. Lately, they have been constantly challenging our Human Race, and many have been defeated and severely injured. However, their target is still you, and someone has even claimed that they want to cripple your Cultivation," Duanmu Changtian shook his head as he spoke.

The young generation of the Alien Race was much stronger than the Human Race. In one-on-one duels, even Human Race geniuses like Yuan Tiangang, who had cultivated the Intent Realm and possessed a Spatial Physique, had no chance to withstand them.

Chu Hao regarded this with indifference and said, "Ha, if they don't come to challenge me, I'll go challenge them. What's there to be arrogant about!"

"Chu Hao, don't be rash!" Duanmu Changtian hurriedly advised.

"I know what I'm doing." Chu Hao nodded.

Duanmu Changtian rolled his eyes. This guy always acted recklessly; it would be strange to believe he truly knew what he was doing.

"Are they still bullying people?" Chu Hao asked.

"Yes, Tomorrow, their target is Gu Fei. That fellow is too impatient and has already agreed," Duanmu Changtian sighed.

"What about Brother Duanmu?"

"My body carries the bloodline of a Divine Beast, and the Alien Race has not challenged me," Duanmu Changtian shook his head, looking somewhat frustrated.

Now, the young generation of the Alien Race and the Human Race were fiercely competing. He might be from the Nine States, but with the Divine Beast bloodline, he ended up as the odd one out, gaining no favor on either side.

"Then I'll have to see tomorrow just how fierce these Alien Races can be!" A cold light flashed in Chu Hao's eyes.

Upon learning of Chu Hao's return, the Alien Race was extremely excited. They looked down on the Human Race, and previous battles had proven that the Human Race was no match for them at the same Realm.

And the only defeat they had suffered was at the hands of Chu Hao, causing the prodigies of the Alien Race to feel as though there was a thorn in their flesh, constantly irritating them.

"This time, Heavenly River King Lord himself will take action and suppress that Human Race kid!"

"What, Heavenly River King Lord will take action?"

"Indeed."

"Ha ha, although Heavenly River King Lord is only a War Venerate, his bloodline is incredibly powerful, with earth-shattering Combat Power. Even the Dragon Crown Prince has said that he may not win against Heavenly River King Lord in a same-tier battle!"

"That Human Race kid can take pride in his defeat. Losing to Heavenly River King Lord is an honor many people would covet," they added.

Among the academy, the young generation of the Alien Race were all chatting excitedly. A young and powerful member of the Royal Family had just come from overseas to personally subdue Chu Hao. This Heavenly River King had been in seclusion and thus missed the opening day of the War God Academy a while ago, but such a Heaven Talented would naturally have privileges and would not be denied entry for missing the screening.

The next day, Chu Hao went to the academy's training grounds; today, Gu Fei was set to face one of the Alien Race's Heaven Talented.

"Chu! Hao!" When he arrived at the training ground, he saw someone staring at him with eyes full of resentment, his left arm appearing to be maimed, leaving only a small portion intact.

Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Oh, it's Crab. Hmm, your arm has grown back? Sigh, being a giant crab, why bother pretending to be human? It affects my appetite."

The person was Xie Huan, whose left arm had been torn off by Chu Hao during their battle. Surprisingly, it had grown back once more.

Your sister is a crab!

Xie Huan glared venomously at Chu Hao. After the battle with Chu Hao, not only had he lost an arm and his vitality severely damaged, but the worst part was that he had been expelled by the Dragon Crown Prince due to his defeat, leaving him completely isolated.

"Since your crab legs grow back so quickly, how about you join my ranks? Just supply one crab leg per month," Chu Hao said.

Xie Huan immediately spat blood. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
