Eternal Heavenly Emperor

The War Emperor of the Murong Family was on the verge of madness.

To kill Murong Yun right in front of him, and now to act as if nothing happened while lecturing the family juniors, did this kid think he was the War God?

No matter how monstrous you are, you are still just a War Venerate!

Finally, the War Emperor made an all-out effort for the third time, and this time, the power was incomparable to before.

"Thousand Moon Slash!" He executed a martial technique, forming a sword technique with his right hand and pointing it at Chu Hao. Suddenly, seventeen giant swords appeared in the sky, each sword flashing with a hundred spirit talismans.

This was the true strength of a War Emperor!

"Destroy!" He shouted loudly, and the seventeen giant swords shot towards Chu Hao.

"Chu Hao!" Duanmu Changtian and the others yelled out. The War Emperor's resentful attack was terrifying.

Chu Hao's right hand shook, and the Purple Crystal Sword was already brandished. In his sea of consciousness, the sword technique shone brightly, the treasured sword swept out, and ripples instantly formed, turning into various sword diagrams.

Taiji Tianyuan, the ultimate defense!

"Seventy-two spirit talismans!" The War Emperor exclaimed in astonishment. Was this kid really just a War Venerate? If this junior were to step into the War Emperor realm, who in the War Emperor realm could possibly be his opponent?

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! The giant swords bombarded the sword diagrams, the runes densely interwoven, flashing with astonishing brilliance. Soon, the first sword diagram shattered, followed by the second and third, but by the time all the sword diagrams had collapsed, the seventeen giant swords had already lost their luster, their power diminished.

The War Emperor's resentful blow actually returned without achieving any results.

The crowd was astounded!

Even Su Wanyue and the others had not anticipated that Chu Hao's strength had reached such heights, capable of standing up to a War Emperor—although they all knew that Chu Hao possessed an Ancestral Artifact and need not fear any War Emperor.

Chu Hao sheathed his sword, his complexion slightly pale. After all, he had just forcefully withstood a blow from a War Emperor, causing his internal organs to shake violently, very uncomfortable. But his physique was incredibly strong, coupled with the Unique Life Spring absorbing the impact and protected by the Laws of Life, he had created a miracle.

He had withstood a full-force blow from a War Emperor and was almost unaffected.

Such a feat, if spread, would certainly scare a great many people!

Everyone knows that after stepping into the Upper Three Realms, each step represents a new tier, and even geniuses can only fight across one or two minor realms at best. But what about Chu Hao? He had crossed over a major realm!

Madness, who would believe it? This is definitely a monster!

In this moment, Su Wanyue and the others firmly believed that as soon as Chu Hao stepped into the War Emperor realm, even the Dragon Crown Prince would be suppressed.

The War Emperor's face turned gloomy. At this point, he was truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

To let Chu Hao go, how would he explain to the ancestors upon his return? But if he continued to fight, he really wasn't sure he could subdue this monster. Another question: would a force capable of nurturing such a monstrous individual allow him to wander around unprepared?

He must have an ace up his sleeve.

After much hesitation, the War Emperor, looking at Murong's expression of dying without closing his eyes, finally resolved to fight. Once his mind was made up, he no longer hesitated and said coldly, "For killing a child of the Murong Family, you are destined to have only one path—death!"

Chu Hao laughed heartily and said, "Since the ferry hasn't arrived yet, I might as well keep you company!"

The War Emperor's face twitched. A mere War Venerate actually said he would 'keep him company,' as if he were just a junior. Even though Chu Hao had just demonstrated frightening strength, he still didn't have the right to speak to a War Emperor like this.

That was too much.

"Hmph!" The War Emperor's killing intent surged, whoosh, his figure suddenly dashed forward, his right hand sweeping out, and more than a dozen giant swords reappeared, suppressing Chu Hao once again.

With a weapon, indeed, he could further enhance his combat power, but the problem was, were Second-Grade Treasure Materials that easy to obtain? Not to mention second rank, even third-rank treasure materials were exceedingly precious, coveted by War Venerates who fought over them. As a War Emperor using a third-rank weapon, he simply could not withstand his own strength, and since he could not obtain a second-rank weapon, he had no choice but to fight with his bare hands.

Fortunately, a Heavenly Level Martial Art wasn't necessarily required to be used with a weapon; at this stage, what he cultivated was the Realm of Intent, and control over the elements was the most important thing.

Chu Hao flew forward to meet the attack, his Purple Crystal Sword sweeping out, actually launching a counteroffensive!

His target had been Murong Yun before, which was why he had used Taiji Tianyuan for defense, but now that the person he wanted to kill was dead, he could naturally make his move at full strength.

Infinite Chaos!

He swung his sword, creating a pattern of interwoven spirit talismans, Chaos Intent Realm surging, embodying the opposition of heaven and earth.

"Intent Realm!" The War Emperor was taken aback once again. In this era of martial arts decline, ninety-nine percent of War Venerates are unlikely to cultivate an Intent Realm, and even half of War Emperors might be unable to grasp it, only when stepping into the War Emperor Realm are Seldom does one find those who cannot cultivate an Intent Realm.

——Fortunately, he did not know that Chu Hao had actually cultivated a trace of Intent Realm back when he was a War General, otherwise, he might have been shocked to the point of his eyeballs popping out.

Even so, the War Emperor was still filled with unease.

He further realized the monstrousness of Chu Hao; this monster might have the potential to become a War God in the future! And what's even more terrifying, he's so young! Even if the elder of the Murong Family could become a War God, how many years could he hold on?

This world ultimately belongs to the young.

No, he must be eliminated, or else he will be a great disaster for the Murong Family, potentially affecting the eternal foundation of the Murong Family!

"Die!" Murderous intent swirled in his eyes as he made up his mind to kill Chu Hao at any cost.

Chu Hao unleashed his sword to meet the attack, with sword techniques shining in his Sea of Consciousness. A single slash emitted dozens of Spirit Talismans, stirring the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, forming a terrifying counterattack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent energy fluctuated as an elder and a youth engaged in fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand.

Hiss!

The crowd gasped in shock; it was already a miracle for a War Venerate to barely contend with a War Emperor for one or two moves, but Chu Hao was in intense combat with a War Emperor and not at all at a disadvantage. How terrifying was that?

"Die! Die! Die!" The War Emperor shouted fiercely, his attacks growing more ferocious with each wave.

"A mere Second Tier War Emperor does not have the qualifications to defeat me!" Chu Hao snorted coldly, fully unleashing his combat power, fearless.

"Arrogant junior, I must admit you are strong, perhaps even the strongest War Venerate of all time, but that is also your biggest weakness; you are just a War Venerate!" The War Emperor spoke, "Your accumulation of Star Force, your strength of Divine Sense, are far from comparable to mine. Right now you may seem imposing from all sides, but in reality, you're consuming power at ten, a hundred times the rate. Over time, you will inevitably be no match for me!"

"Although I do not wish to win in such a manner, you are too monstrous and must be eliminated!"

Hearing this, the complexions of Su Wanyue and the others changed.

Indeed, this was a huge hidden danger and an insurmountable barrier, after all, there was a chasm between a War Venerate and a War Emperor.

Chu Hao remained calm, for others did not know that his Soul Seed was constructed from the power of six different elements, far stronger than a regular War Venerate, unafraid of prolonged combat.

Of course, his greatest trump card was the Western Wind; if things got bad, he would sacrifice the Ancestral Artifact and directly suppress with the power of a War Emperor Realm, just to see if they feared him or not?

"Old dog, you truly are shameless!" He wouldn't reveal his trump card to the opponent, speaking instead with contempt.

"Hmph, as long as victory can be achieved, what does it matter which methods are used?" The War Emperor's offensive was like a tempest, planning to deplete Chu Hao's power, so victory could be easily secured.

Chu Hao executed the Heaven Overturning Step, moving forward and back, left and right, as fast as lightning, effortlessly evading the War Emperor's attacks. He laughed loudly, saying, "What of it then?"

The War Emperor was so furious that smoke seemed to rise from his seven orifices. If Chu Hao continued to dodge without attacking, naturally, he could significantly reduce his power consumption. His gaze turned towards Su Wanyue and the others, his murderous intent surging as he said, "Kid, if you dare to dodge again, I will start by killing all those people first!"

Su Wanyue and the others nearly doubted their own ears. Was this truly a War Emperor?

Too shameless, to actually threaten one War Venerate with several others, utterly shameless!

Chu Hao also hadn't expected this War Emperor to be so brazenly shameless. He shook his head and said, "I may have overestimated your shamelessness, yet you still managed to break through the bottom of my imagination."

"Enough talk, if you don't want to implicate them, fight me!" The War Emperor shouted.

These words sounded fair and valiant, but it was a War Emperor challenging a War Venerate, an embarrassment that would make anyone laugh their teeth off if it were spread.

Chu Hao's gaze sharpened as he said, "Old dog, are you looking for death?" He had intended to use the power of a War Emperor to temper himself, but the opponent actually threatened him with the lives of Su Wanyue and others, igniting his killing intent.

In front of Western Wind, what did a mere War Emperor count for?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, just then, several figures shot over from a distance.

"Hahahaha, it seems quite lively here!" A tall elder spoke, emitting the aura of a War Emperor, but he had a pair of goat horns on his head, making him look extremely odd.

Alien Race!

The blockade of the heavens and earth was about to open, starting with the maritime blockade on Sky Martial Star, allowing the Alien Race to travel freely.

"Foolish Human Race, always fighting amongst yourselves!" Another goat-horned elder spoke, he too possessed the cultivation of a War Emperor, and on his horns, one could glimpse faintly glowing runes — these goat horns were treasures, capable of being used as mighty weapons.

Chu Hao snorted, his body landing to stand protectively in front of Su Wanyue and the others.

With the arrival of the foreign race, he certainly would no longer engage in petty squabbles, which would only serve to amuse the onlookers.

The Murong Family's War Emperor also stopped his attack. He was not worried about becoming a laughingstock but was concerned that they might end up like the proverbial snipe and clam fighting while the fisherman gains the profit.

"The boat's here!" Someone shouted, turning everyone's attention toward the Nether River.

Through the mist of evaporating water, a sinister black ferry slowly glided over, first the bow, then the hull — it was approximately fifty meters long and ten meters wide, made entirely of black wood in a single layer.

When everyone saw the ferryman steering the boat, their eyes involuntarily bulged wide. (To be continued.
