Eternal Heavenly Emperor

This was originally a corpse, devoid of any signs of life, but now, its heart had revived, steady and strong, and one could even hear the sound of blood circulating through the body, a vibrant vitality bursting forth like wildfire.

Chu Hao felt an exceedingly strange sensation in his heart—was this girl going to die and come back to life?

There surely shouldn't be such a thing in the world, right? Once dead, one was dead, how could they possibly get a second life?

Was it just that she had been sealed in slumber before?

No, that's not right!

Chu Hao immediately denied it. He had personally dug Xia Yuanchao out of the grave; that kid was truly an Ancient who had been sealed. Around his coffin were placed all kinds of rare treasures, which continually exerted their effects to maintain Xia Yuanchao's vitality over a million years.

But this was a solid tomb, nothing but soil everywhere. If there was anything different, it was that the gravity was too strong, but could gravity lock away vitality and let someone survive one million or even ten million years?

The world was vast, hiding countless secrets, and Chu Hao simply wasn't qualified to fathom them.

This was no longer a cold, lifeless body. On the contrary, she radiated an endless breath of life, her body surrounded by a sacred glow, reminiscent of a fairy of the highest heavens, filled with purity.

To say she was a ghost, probably everyone in the world would disagree.

Boom, a ripple visible to the naked eye burst forth from the girl's body, instantly radiating towards the vast world of the Nether Palace.

The girl opened her eyes.

She was originally indescribably beautiful, and now as she opened her eyes, a spirited air emerged. Yet now her gaze was somewhat vacant, like a newborn baby, full of the unknown and puzzled by this strange world.

The girl lowered her gaze, looking towards Chu Hao.

An indescribable pressure came over him, turning Chu Hao's face pale and giving him an unbearable feeling.

"Who are you?" the girl asked, and without waiting for Chu Hao to reply, she continued in her bewilderment, "Who am I?"

Her body slowly descended from the air, and her black hair fell down smoothly, draping over her back like dew on pearls, flawlessly beautiful.

"I am Luo Qingyan!" she said with a smile blooming like thousands of flowers, seemingly making the world suddenly brighter as colorful lights chaotically danced between heaven and earth, marvelously beautiful.

"Who are you?" she asked again.

"My name is Chu Hao," Chu Hao honestly replied, finding this girl truly bizarre.

"You are Chu Hao, I am Luo Qingyan," the girl murmured. "But why am I here? What is this place? What is the meaning of my existence?" She voiced a series of questions, appearing utterly confused.

"Hehe, you think about it slowly, I just remembered, I need to go feed the children, goodbye." Chu Hao turned around and began to climb out of the grave.

"Wait!" the girl exclaimed, a colorful divine light circulating around her, "It was you who dug me out, you can't just leave like that!"

"Eh, how do you know it was me who dug you out?" Chu Hao asked curiously.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Luo Qingyan huffed, "There are only the two of us here, someone should be buried in the coffin, if you didn't dig me out, then I must have dug you out. But I clearly have no memory, so naturally, it was you who dug me out."

Her reasoning was convoluted yet made perfect sense, leaving Chu Hao unable to argue.

"Since you have no memory, why do you know your own name?" Chu Hao asked.

The girl was taken aback, showing a confused expression, and muttered to herself, "Right, why do I know my own name?"

"See, your mind is still very muddled, why don't you sit here and think slowly? I won't disturb you any longer!" Chu Hao again tried to escape.

"Don't run!" The girl reached out and grabbed his arm. With just a gentle tug, bang, Chu Hao was forcibly pulled down. Her strength was terrifyingly great; she barely seemed to use any force, yet Chu Hao was not only pulled down but also heavily hit the ground.

The soil here, compressed by high gravity, was as hard as a High Tier Treasure Artifact; the impact immediately made Chu Hao dizzy, nearly causing him to faint. He couldn't help but be alarmed; how could this girl's strength be so terrifying?

What was her level of Cultivation?

Chu Hao couldn't see through it; the girl seemed just like an ordinary person, aside from the occasional flash of colorful divine light, she truly looked no different from an ordinary woman.

Of course, that wasn't possible.

Just the fact that this girl was buried in this huge tomb could attest to her incredibly significant origins, because when the Undead Soldiers chased her here, they stopped voluntarily, their demeanor respectful, filled with reverence.

Whoever could evoke such awe from the War God must also be a Star Master.

Chu Hao gritted his teeth and stood up, saying, "Can't you be a little gentler? Do we have a grudge or something?" Yet, as he said this, his heart thudded wildly— he had dug up someone else's grave, wasn't that grudge big enough?

Luo Qingyan blinked in surprise, showing an apologetic expression, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know your body was so fragile. Let me help you enhance your physique; consider it a compensation!"

What, she could help him enhance his physique?

Before Chu Hao could grasp the idea, he was abruptly hoisted up by the girl. With a crunch, his head was shoved right into his chest.

It was over, killed by this clueless girl!

In his mind, Chu Hao lamented. He had unparalleled ambition and was confident that he could surpass the Great Emperor of He Family and strike for that supreme eternal Heavenly Emperor. Along the way, he had faced numerous crises, but it was always a combination of luck and his own capabilities that resolved them. Now, he was only steps away from reaching the martial arts limit of Sky Martial Star.

Who knew he would meet a clueless girl who, under the guise of enhancing his physique, had stuffed his head into his chest. He was definitely done for.

Wait a minute, if he was done for, why did he still have so many thoughts?

Chu Hao suddenly realized he wasn't dead, just with his head stuffed into his chest. Naturally, he could only see pitch darkness and felt pain in his limbs as they were forcibly pressed back into his torso by Luo Qingyan.

Now, he resembled a turtle, with his limbs and head retracted inside his body, instantly becoming round like a ball.

Chu Hao was horrified. What kind of clueless girl was this? She was clearly a demoness!

Luo Qingyan hummed an unknown tune, her voice enchantingly beautiful, akin to the Heavenly Dao chanting, listening to which was enough to give one the sensation of ascending to immortality. The Divine Lotus in her hair fell and joyfully danced on the girl's shoulder.

"Burn for me!" The girl shook her hands, and boom, blazing white flames erupted from her hands, scorching Chu Hao's body.

"Ah!" Chu Hao immediately screamed in agony.

He had endured countless hardships in his life, but none compared to this moment. The blazing fire seemed to incinerate both his body and soul, delivering indescribable pain.

However, having endured too much pain before, his will didn't break under such torment. Otherwise, even if the girl had the power to protect his vital force, his consciousness would have collapsed, turning him into an idiot.

This girl was really reckless. She was using a Supreme Secret Method, the Derivation Refinement Furnace, to refine the recipient in every possible way, expelling impurities from the body and thoroughly enhancing the physique.

To undergo such refinement, one at least had to be of War God level with a completely elementally transformed body. However, Chu Hao was only a War Venerate, and such a body undergoing this kind of refinement was indeed too forced.

Luo Qingyan, however, was utterly reckless. Although she had just woken up from a deep sleep and seemed to have lost all her memories, a person's character could never change so easily.

That meant she was always a witch who did whatever she wanted.

While humming, she refined Chu Hao. White flames surged, and countless runes flowed dazzlingly and intricately.

Those were definitely Talismans of Laws!

Chu Hao's physique had already reached the tenth flow, the limit that a War God could achieve post-transcension. Therefore, the only way to further enhance his physique was to use Laws to refine him.

"Ah!" Chu Hao kept howling in pain, feeling as if it was worse than death.

This darned witch, he would definitely smash her rear end in the future!

At this moment, one second felt like a year, time seemed to freeze, incredibly slowly. Chu Hao endured unspeakable agony as he screamed and struggled, but in the face of Luo Qingyan's indescribable brute strength, it was entirely futile.

His flesh was incinerated, revealing white bones beneath, with Laws Runes surging through, branding the mysteries of the universe. Normally, he would have been dead, but Luo Qingyan had divine powers, her hand emitting a green radiance, continuously providing Chu Hao with life force, keeping him alive.

This was the Laws of Life, and moreover vastly superior to the earlier part inside Chu Hao's body because that part of the Laws crumbled completely at a mere touch of the green light.

After a whole day and night, Luo Qingyan finally stopped. With a few casual tugs, Chu Hao regained his human form, but now only as a skeleton. Her hand emitted green light again, instantly flooding throughout Chu Hao's body. Visibly, his flesh regenerated and organs were recreated.

This was like magic, capable of resurrecting the dead. Of course, what was most crucial was that Chu Hao's soul had been well protected; otherwise, he would have become a corpse, never to come back to life again.

Chu Hao opened his eyes and immediately felt a tremendous change in his body.

"So ugly, put on some clothes fast!" Luo Qingyan snorted and quickly turned her head away.

Only then did Chu Hao realize he was completely naked. He hurriedly picked up the Mustard Seed Ring from the ground, took out some clothes from it, and put them on, his old face flushing. He keenly felt that the strength of his bones, flesh, and meridians had reached unprecedented levels.

He flicked his right hand, and boom, a yellow flame surged out, but compared to before, there was a slight change; it seemed to be progressing towards an orange hue.

He had no idea what flow his physique could now be considered.

"Let's go out for a stroll!" Luo Qingyan unfolded a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
