Chapter 536: Ninth Tier War Venerate
"Noisy!" Chu Hao said impatiently, waving his hand for emphasis.
Qin Family's War Emperor's eyes blazed with fire as he shouted, "Junior, do you dare to come down? I will kill you for sure!"
"Are you out of your mind? As a War Emperor, yet trying to show off your might to a War Venerate, aren't you ashamed? I am ashamed for you!" Chu Hao scoffed.
"Detestable boy!" The Qin Family War Emperor roared to the sky and suddenly clapped his palms continuously, making the area around him billow with dust. Surprisingly, despite the War Emperor's powerful strikes, the ground around did not even crack.
This place is truly bizarre.
Chu Hao burst into laughter and said, "Old man, why don't you come up here, and we settle this once and for all?"
Nonsense, if he could come up, he would have done so already, so why bother with your nonsense?
The Qin Family War Emperor looked sinisterly at Chu Hao and said, "Fine, unless you, this junior, never come down, I will definitely behead you."
"It won't take a lifetime!" Chu Hao huffed with a face full of murderous intent, "Once I've recuperated, I will come down and take your lives! I'll give you a chance now, flee, and I might spare your lives—of course, except for Qin Chou, whose life I am determined to take."
"Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha!" The remaining four of the Qin family burst into laughter, as if they had heard a great joke.
Isn't it? A mere War Venerate daring to threaten a War Emperor, where does this confidence come from?
Chu Hao did not speak again, only he knew that he had already broken through the Ninth Tier War Venerate.
Ninth Tier War Venerate, what does this mean?
Stronger than a First Tier War Emperor!
He already possessed terrifying abilities to fight beyond his level. Now that his strength had advanced to the level of a War Emperor and his control over elements had vastly improved, fighting a Fourth Tier War Emperor would definitely not be an issue.
However, he had just made his breakthrough and still needed to elevate his combat power. He required some time to adjust and attune himself.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the Soul Seed absorbed the elemental power, growing rapidly in size. Although its height remained the same, its figure expanded, resembling a chubby figure.
His body was undergoing astonishing transformations, his skin automatically undergoing Elemental Transformation, surging throughout his body until, finally, both of his arms underwent Elemental Transformation simultaneously.
Below, the Qin Family War Emperor was dumbstruck.
A War Venerate could achieve this extent of Elemental Transformation?
Elemental Transformation represents the control over elements, so the higher the degree of Elemental Transformation, the deeper the understanding and mastery of elements. Although he was a Third Tier War Emperor, he could only transform one arm and one hand with elements at the same time.
But for Chu Hao... he was merely a War Venerate, yet his extent of Elemental Transformation surpassed him. How could this not shock him?
This was too monstrous.
He secretly made up his mind that this time he had to kill Chu Hao at all costs.
But just then, Chu Hao stood up and slowly walked down the large tomb.
He really dared to come down?
Courting death!
The Qin Family War Emperor suppressed the urge to strike; he was waiting for Chu Hao to fully descend.
Chu Hao, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked leisurely to the ground. Now free from the suppression of gravity, all his bones crackled, and his momentum suddenly soared like a peerless ferocious beast.
"Old thing, I have come down. Is your dog's head washed clean?" he shouted at the Qin Family War Emperor.
"Junior, you are courting your own death!" The Qin Family War Emperor bellowed and flew toward Chu Hao, releasing a palm strike that gathered Star Force into a giant stele that came crashing down, with over a hundred runes flickering dangerously.
Such is the War Emperor, able to summon runes starting by the hundreds!
The stele crashed down like a monumental pillar of martial arts, capable of suppressing the ages.
Qin Chou and the others displayed a cold smirk, seeing the young prodigy about to perish — how could a mere War Venerate brazenly confront a War Emperor if not courting death?
Chu Hao looked up casually and pressed his hand downward toward the sky.
Hum!
A terrifying thing happened— the stele stopped abruptly.
What!
All the Qin Family members, including the War Emperor, were collectively taken aback. How could this be possible? A minor War Venerate was actually able to block an attack from a War Emperor? Although not at full strength, the attack was not something a War Venerate should be able to withstand.
"Shatter!" Chu Hao lightly pinched, and crack, crack, crack, crack— cracks immediately appeared on the stele, then it explosively shattered, turning into elemental energy and dispersing back into nature.
This was defying the heavens, truly defying the heavens. A War Venerate could actually match a War Emperor!
"You've broken through the Ninth Tier?" The Qin Family War Emperor took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly.
In the Three Minor Realms and the Middle Three Realms, although breaking through to the Tenth Tier is challenging, there are not a few who can reach the Ninth Tier. However, from the Upper Three Realms onward, the Ninth Tier is like a towering mountain, something that one can only look up to.
War Venerate is already hard enough to break through, right? Yet, the difficulty of reaching the Ninth Tier War Venerate is even greater than that of a War Emperor! It's clear that achieving the Ninth Tier War Venerate is an extremely tough task.
Therefore, despite being almost certain, the Qin Family's War Emperor couldn't help but ask.
"Correct," Chu Hao withdrew his hand, his gaze fixed on Qin Chou, saying, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you all one last chance. Everyone except for Qin Chou may leave now, and I'll spare their lives!"
"Hmph, even if you have broken through to the Ninth Tier, it merely means you are on par with a First Tier War Emperor in terms of strength, but without breaking through to a War Emperor, you're still just a War Venerate. How can you compare with me in controlling the Elemental Power?" said the Qin Family's War Emperor disdainfully. Though his last attack had been dissolved by Chu Hao, he hadn't used his full power.
In fact, the old man was right. The breakthrough of a Ninth Tier War Venerate was even more difficult than that of a First Tier War Emperor, but without becoming a War Emperor, one ultimately couldn't compare in controlling the Elemental Power.
For example, the limit for an Eighth Tier War Venerate is ten Elemental Spiritual Patterns, and for a Ninth Tier, it's only twenty. On the other hand, a War Emperor starts at a hundred. How huge is this gap?
But could Chu Hao be measured by ordinary standards?
He formed a Great Chaos Will and perfectly merged the Five Elements, meaning that while other Ninth Tier War Venerates have a maximum of twenty runes, he has a hundred.
Comparable to a War Emperor!
Chu Hao beckoned with his fingers, saying, "Old man, come at me and see if I don't chop off your dog head!"
"Seeking death!" Unable to bear it any longer, cold light shot from the eyes of the Qin Family's War Emperor. As he danced his hands, the Earth Element continually condensed, forming stone swords that hovered in mid-air, each one aimed at Chu Hao.
"Autumn Water as a Line, Thousand-Mile Sword Cleansing!" He shouted loudly as he danced his hands, and the stone swords shot towards Chu Hao with force.
This was a Heaven Level Martial Technique, which could exhibit infinite might in the hands of a War Emperor.
Chu Hao simply crossed his hands behind his back, too lazy even to block.
Seeking death, truly seeking death, how dare he show off at this moment, not knowing how to write the word 'dead'!
Boom boom boom, the stone swords struck, hitting Chu Hao's body, but stunningly, Chu Hao stood with his hands behind, unharmed.
How could this be! How could this be!
The people from the Qin Family couldn't help but grab their hair, baffled by what was happening. This was just a War Venerate, and even if a Ninth Tier War Venerate, still just a War Venerate. So why was he as powerful as a War Emperor?
"Old man, is that the extent of your power?" Chu Hao said with a smile, his Unique Life Spring capable of absorbing all power. As he stepped into the Ninth Tier War Venerate, this Extreme Power also elevated nearly to the level of a Fifth Tier War Emperor, making the attack of a mere Third Tier War Emperor seem trivial.
The Qin Family's War Emperor was so infuriated he nearly spewed blood, but Chu Hao had indeed casually dissolved his full-powered attack, leaving him without a shred of excuse. Indeed, had it been him receiving this attack, he would have needed to use all his force.
Because it was indeed his full-powered attack.
How could this still be played?
"Old man, is it my turn to make a move now?" Chu Hao smiled slightly, and without drawing his sword, merely extended his right hand. The Infinite Chaos Sword Technique began to glow within his Sea of Consciousness, drawing in the elements of heaven and earth, forming a Five-Colored Sword in front of him.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth; the Five Elements all included.
"Impossible!" the Qin Family's War Emperor suddenly screamed. How could the power of the Five Elements possibly converge into one?
Others certainly couldn't, but under the influence of the Great Chaos Intent Realm, the Five Elements obediently merged together. On it flashed several Spirit Talismans; counting them, there were as many as a hundred.
This was despite Chu Hao just breaking through to the Ninth Tier and not yet enhancing his sword technique; still, a hundred Spirit Talismans were enough to threaten a War Emperor.
"Demon, monster!" That was all the Qin Family's War Emperor could utter.
A mere War Venerate capable of causing a Third Tier War Emperor's full-powered strike to dissipate naturally, and yet whose attack possessed the power of a War Emperor, what else could this be if not a monster?
"Take this!" Chu Hao swung his right hand, and the Five-Colored Sword flew towards the Qin Family's War Emperor, slashing at him.
The Qin Family's War Emperor hurried to defend with all his might. Bang, the Infinite Chaos represented the great destruction and explosion of the universe. Though there were only a hundred Spirit Talismans, the power greatly surpassed this.
"Hahaha, you almost fooled me!" After receiving this attack, the Qin Family's War Emperor's confidence surged enormously, "Indeed, your defensive power is peculiar, nearing invincibility, but your attack power is merely comparable to a Second Tier War Emperor."
He laughed proudly; after all, he was a Third Tier War Emperor. How could he possibly be defeated by the combat power of a Second Tier War Emperor?
Chu Hao simply smiled faintly, continually flicking his fingers, and casting Infinite Chaos. During this process, he was rapidly enhancing the sword technique's power, and the Spirit Talismans on the Five-Colored Sword started to increase.
One hundred and one, two, three; the speed was astonishing.
The Qin Family's War Emperor soon couldn't laugh anymore. As the person involved, he was most sensitive to Chu Hao's changing combat power.
— His combat power surged violently like a tsunami.
"Go! Hurry, go!" he cried out, "You all go now, I'll cover the rear!"
The people from the Qin Family were all shocked; even with a War Emperor anchoring them, they were still being forced to flee by a mere War Venerate?
"Leave? I gave you a chance before, and you didn't take it. Now you think you can leave?" Chu Hao snorted coldly, summoning the Western Wind, not needing to resuscitate it; he just needed the Western Wind to endure the now tremendously powerful Infinite Chaos.
Slash, he swung a sword, as splendid as a sky full of stars. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend and support by voting on qidian.com. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
