Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Speaking of simplicity, the process was an extremely demanding one, as even the War God could not condense much of the Heart of Elements in a single day.

In this regard, the Alien Race was much better off, having over three hundred War Gods who could take turns in battle, continuously supplying the Heart of Elements. However, on the Human Race side, just supplying Chu Hao and Su Wanyue alone was somewhat difficult.

Chu Hao and Su Wanyue were able to obtain one Heart of Elements every three days.

Although the Nine States had seven War Gods, two of them followed the path of the Wood Series, so the War God from the Water State needed to condense two portions of the Heart of Elements to supply both Chu Hao and Su Wanyue simultaneously.

To reduce the pressure on the War Gods, Su Wanyue decided not to use the Heart of Elements and instead acquire Elemental Perceptions through Dual Cultivation with Chu Hao, as Chu Hao needed to achieve a complete balance of the Five Elements to facilitate the growth of the Soul Seed.

The seven War Gods also knew that it was because the two of them could Dual Cultivate that they had formed the unprecedented Unique Life Spring, which only made them envious.

In front of Chu Hao, there were six uniquely radiant crystals. These were the Hearts of Elements, materialized by the War Gods through the Laws based on their enlightenment.

This was not an Immortal Pill that one could consume to quickly ascend a realm; the Heart of Elements allowed Refiners to see the control the War Gods had over the elemental energy, thereby deepening their application of the elements.

That is to say, if your aptitude was dull, then this Heart of Elements was completely useless, absolutely of no use at all. But on the other hand, if a Refiner was inherently gifted with strong comprehension, then it could greatly accelerate the growth of the Soul Seed.

Chu Hao was clearly a genius with a profound understanding.

With a sweep of his right hand, he took up all the Hearts of Elements of the Five Elements, initiated the Flame Furnace, and began the Refining process.

However, this was about comprehension. The Flame Furnace didn't provide much help in this regard, but the speed of extracting perceptions was still significantly faster than not using the Flame Furnace. A mosquito leg is still meat, but this was not a mosquito leg—it could be considered an elephant leg.

He simultaneously extracted the perceptions of the Five Elements and circulated them in his Sea of Consciousness.

So that's how it is, oh, it can also be done this way, ah, I had misunderstood it before.

Such reflections continued to arise in Chu Hao's mind, and he began to amalgamate the power of the Five Elements, reshaping his Soul Seed.

The Great Five Elements Generating and Overcoming Cycle, generating was the Taiji, and overcoming was the Wuji.

This was Chu Hao's first journey down the path of the Great Five Elements, so he was extremely cautious; the Soul Seed was incredibly fragile under the shock of the War Gods' Elemental Perceptions, which left no room for carelessness. Moreover, the forces of order and disorder formed by the Great Five Elements were too strong, enough to destroy his Soul Seed instantly.

Chu Hao was calm and unhurried. Having established the Unique Life Spring, he had developed a hearty resistance, as if even the sky falling down would be no different.

The Soul Seed wavered, showing multiple fissures.

This was not because Chu Hao had failed, but rather he did it intentionally.

The original Soul Seed was formed by three types of elemental powers, representing the Yin and Yang Qi were the opposing natures of water and fire, in addition to a streak of Thunder Element, which had already solidified. Wanting to integrate the other three elements of the Five Elements? That was absolutely impossible.

Without destruction, there can be no establishment!

Chu Hao steeled his heart and decided to shatter this Soul Seed and start over.

But this also meant that his cultivation would fall back to the peak of War King.

For greater strength, he was all in!

He did not hesitate at all, voluntarily shattering the Soul Seed.

Having gained the perceptions of the Five Elements, he also realized that previously, having formed the Yin and Yang Qi through the elements of water and fire, there was only overcoming and no generating, because there was only opposition between water and fire, no generation.

Therefore, his Chaos Intent Realm could not possibly rely on the perceptions of just the elements of water and fire to reach the endpoint, so he needed to take the opportunity to start over immediately while he was just beginning on this path, otherwise it would be too difficult to return and he might not have another chance.

Only the Great Five Elements could both generate and overcome.

Chu Hao began reshaping the Soul Seed. Now with experience, retracing was much simpler, but because it involved integrating all five types of elemental powers simultaneously, the level of difficulty also surged dramatically.

He delayed forming the Soul Seed for a long time, while the Hearts of Elements were continually delivered to the room where he was in closed-off cultivation. Su Wanyue was full of confidence in Chu Hao; even now that the Heart of Water Element was abundant, she had no intention of using it.

She knew that once Chu Hao made the most critical step forward, like a carp jumping through the Dragon Gate, he would skyrocket, growing to a degree where she could only look up to him.

For this, she felt no jealousy, only immense pride.

Once upon a time, this young man had grown into a true man and possessed a royalty's demeanor.

She was somewhat infatuated by her thoughts; her once icy face now lifted with a smile, beautiful enough to make hearts tremble.

It took Chu Hao a full six months to recondense the Soul Seed!

Balancing the Five Elements sounds simple, but achieving it was extremely difficult; even with the Chaos Intent Realm to control, it was still challenging. After the Soul Seed was initially formed, he integrated the Thunder Intent Realm into it again.

This time it was much easier and just in one day, he allowed the Soul Seed figurine to playfully twist around the blue Thunder Intent Realm.

Chu Hao opened his eyes and with a casual punch, he unleashed the elemental power of the Five Elements, creating a devastating explosive force.

Boom, the space was torn apart violently, and violent chaotic streams poured out from the void, like ferocious dragons with infinite destructive power.

"Haha, although my cultivation has fallen to the early stage of the First Tier War Venerate, my combat power is actually ten times stronger than before!" Chu Hao laughed loudly, all the efforts of this past half-year and the regression in realm were worthwhile!

He had laid the most solid foundation, which could support the construction of his bridge to the heavens.

"However, this also means that when I embark on the path of the War God, I have to perceive the Laws of the Five Elements at the same time -- the Laws of Thunder are just icing on the cake, it doesn't make much difference whether I have them or not. Spending five times the effort for a tenfold increase in combat power, isn't that worth it?"

He chuckled heartily and swept up the many Hearts of Elements scattered around him like small mountains, beginning to refine them madly.

Hum, hum, hum, his body continuously emitted various radiances, the light of the Five Elements interwoven, making him seem like an immortal god, filled with the essence of the great path.

Elements, the fundamental material that constitutes heaven and earth, are organized by the Laws that form the foundation of the world. Mastering the elements completely gives one the qualifications to glimpse the outline of the Laws. Originally, Chu Hao wasn't qualified to touch these Laws, but these Hearts of Elements were forcefully condensed by the War God through the Laws, naturally leaving some Laws behind.

And his Flame Furnace could extract the Laws from them.

This was astonishing; no one would believe it if he mentioned it. Aren't the Laws supposed to be only perceivable? How could they be refined?

Indeed, that was the case!

Chu Hao understood that this was the most valuable legacy of the He Family's Great Emperor, this kind of refining could continue up to the peak of Realm Master, but it was absolutely impossible to refine the Main Laws, which could help him ascend to the position of Immortal Emperor, because that was the upper limit.

If people knew he had this capability... even Realm Masters would come after him!

Don't forget, a War Venerate could create Outer Dharma Bodies by refining, and by then, the powerful simply needed to refine him into an Outer Dharma Body to utilize his ability to refine Laws. Moreover, as the main body and the Dharma Body share consciousness, if the Dharma Body masters it, the main body naturally also does.

Thus, he himself was the greatest treasure, coveted by countless people.

After forming the Five Elements Soul Seed, the speed of his refining soared.

The miniature Soul Seed person sat cross-legged in the Sea of Consciousness, continuously drawing in elemental perceptions to strengthen itself, growing at a somewhat astonishing pace.

After all, Chu Hao had previously reached the early stage of the Third Tier War Venerate, so retreading the old path was naturally fast since the expansion of his Life Spring was already in place.

In just ten days, he had reattained the early stage of the Third Tier War Venerate, catching up to his previous realm.

He took a break and walked out.

"Eh, how come you are still at the Third Tier?" When Yue Wu Jian saw him, he couldn't help being somewhat surprised. After half a year and after refining so many Hearts of Elements, to shamefully stay at the original realm, how "defying the heavens" is this?

Did he misjudge him, is he actually a mediocre talent?

Impossible, how could a mediocre talent create a Unique Life Spring and pioneer a new path?

Chu Hao smiled slightly and punched out, activating the Chaos Intent Realm, wrapping his fists in the power of the Five Elements, and ancient Runes glowing on his fists, upon close inspection, there were more than thirty!

Boom, space was instantly shattered, and a void storm furiously swept through, terribly frightening.

Yue Wu Jian sprang to his feet, the power of this punch was already pushing the limits of a War Venerate. The problem was, Chu Hao was only at the early stage of the Third Tier, what level would his combat power reach when he attains the peak of War Venerate?

Compete with a War Emperor? No no no, it's not just competing; it would surpass the Initial Tier War Emperor and be comparable to a Middle Tier War Emperor!

And also, those thirty or so runes flickered on Chu Hao's punch earlier; what does that signify?

Only Heavenly Level Martial Arts produce runes, which are manifestations of elemental energy. For a War Venerate, being able to condense more than five is already impressive, and ten is extremely powerful. But Chu Hao's punch condensed more than thirty runes… over thirty!

Moreover, that punch was very casual, not even seeming like it utilized any Martial Techniques.

A casual punch manifesting over thirty runes, this is truly terrifying; even if his cultivation were suppressed to War Venerate, it would still be impossible to compare with Chu Hao.

"What exactly have you been doing in the past half-year?" Yue Wu Jian said rather helplessly.

"I integrated the power of the Six Series of Elements," Chu Hao said, hadn't he already mentioned that before?

Yue Wu Jian was speechless, it's not just a simple integration of the Six Series of Elements; it's more like a multiplicative relationship, otherwise there's no way it would have such terrifying destructive power.

Forget it, this kid even managed to create a Unique Life Spring, now his combat power is heaven-defying, and that's also acceptable.

He said, "Since you have taken this step, start advancing your realm quickly; I heard that the Dragon Crown Prince has already reached the Sixth Tier War Emperor."

Dragon Crown Prince!

Cold light danced in Chu Hao's eyes. This was a rival he had to defeat. (To be continued. If you like this piece, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast a vote, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
