Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Xiang Wushuang quickly tucked away his slight complacency, unleashing his full combat power as he launched an attack toward Feng Piaoling.

Both being among the Seven Emperors, they naturally sparred quite often, and Feng Piaoling was quite familiar with Xiang Wushuang's abilities. At a glance, she knew that he had gone all out, which infuriated her.

"For the sake of a human woman, you actually show no mercy and no regard for past friendship?"

Feng Piaoling let out a clear cry, flames vibrating in circles around her body as she charged towards Xiang Wushuang, her full combat power also brought to bear.

Xiang Wushuang couldn't help but curse inside. He had no choice but to go all out because of Luo Qingyan, and there you go, stirring up trouble, forcing both of us into a life-or-death fight?

From his standpoint, it was clear why he fought with all his might, but being at the same level, Feng Piaoling couldn't possibly hold back either, otherwise she would definitely suffer a heavy blow.

—Indeed, Feng Piaoling used to be stronger than him, but only by a bit, and moreover, after being refined, Xiang Wushuang had managed to surpass Feng Piaoling.

The two young monarchs' intense battle, with Elemental Light in chaos, was a massive and astonishing spectacle.

Chu Hao, however, was too lazy to watch and was just recounting his experiences over these days to Su Wanyue, Gu Fei, and the others.

After fighting for quite a while, Feng Piaoling fell slightly behind, but it would still take some time before Xiang Wushuang could truly defeat her. Moreover, although both were going all out, neither employed their ultimate moves, for that would surely rock the heavens and immediately turn the tide of battle.

Luo Qingyan grew impatient and said, "Fat Elephant, how can you be so useless? I'll have to refine you more in the future!" She made a move, and humming sounds resounded as beams of light appeared, enveloping Feng Piaoling within them.

Seeing Luo Qingyan's intervention, Xiang Wushuang naturally withdrew to one side.

Feng Piaoling's gaze sharpened, and she, too, waved her delicate hand, unleashing a barrage of attacks towards the beams of light. Boom, boom, boom, but her attacks, striking the pillars of light, were forcibly repelled, utterly ineffective.

"How is this possible!" Everyone was shocked at this scene.

After all, that was Feng Piaoling, one of the Alien Race's Seven Emperors, and now, she had been trapped by a single move, which was hard to believe. Only those who had followed along showed cold smiles, recalling how Xiang Wushuang himself had been captured by a single move and made very compliant.

Feng Piaoling certainly wasn't willing to be trapped, continuously swinging her attacks at the pillars of light, but these beams were extremely strange, with Meridian Patterns flowing through them like colossal pillars supporting the sky, impervious to any force.

"Laws chains!" she exclaimed in shock.

Hearing these four words, everyone else also showed astonished expressions, some even trembling.

Chu Hao looked at Fat Cat, who transmitted telepathically, "To condense Laws into physical chains is the strongest cage in the world. Unless you surpass your opponent in your understanding of the Laws, it's impossible to break free."

It paused for a moment and then added, "To be able to condense Laws chains, one must be at least at the War God level."

Feng Piaoling was indeed very strong, one of the Alien Race's Seven Emperors, and she might even be a Ninth Tier War Emperor by now, with the credentials to challenge a Low Tier War Emperor, but that was still too far from a War God.

A War Emperor is only of the Upper Three Realms, but a War God transcends this level, having broken free from the mundane and become a deity—a completely different concept.

Below the Power of Laws, what could Feng Piaoling do other than submit?

"Human Race War God, by treating me this way, aren't you afraid of sparking a great war between our races?" Feng Piaoling thundered, outraged that such a mighty being as a War God would bully the lesser! She certainly did not believe Luo Qingyan's youthful appearance; this must be an old monster several centuries old.

"Indeed, a tiny bird twittering away," Luo Qingyan reached out, the pillars of light contracting to form a true cage. Under the pressure of the Power of Laws, Feng Piaoling was forced into her Phoenix form, her size shrinking continuously until she became a small bird—a very beautiful small bird, with feathers like flames and the form of a phoenix.

What mattered the Seven Emperors in her presence? Only surrender was left to them.

Luo Qingyan smiled satisfactorily, had Xiang Wushuang return to his War Elephant form, and casually sat astride it. Placing the "birdcage" to one side, she amused herself by teasing the Feng Piaoling inside, leaving Feng Piaoling dying of shame and anger.

The other members of the Alien Race were also furious, as both Feng Piaoling and Xiang Wushuang were their pride. Now, one had become a mount, and the other a caged bird—this struck a chord with them all too personally.

Chu Hao approached and asked, "May I go inside for a look?"

Luo Qingyan scoffed, "If you're coveting my Divine Medicine, just say it; don't beat around the bush."

"Heh heh, you did say before that you'd grant me a fortune, and I think the Divine Medicine is quite nice," Chu Hao said unreservedly.

Luo Qingyan tilted her head to think for a moment and then replied, "Fine, I'll let you feast your eyes." She swiped her hand across the light screen, and a portal opened promptly. After allowing Chu Hao to enter, she too rode the War Elephant inside. Then the light screen closed, and the portal vanished, naturally blocking the others from entering.

Everyone was startled. Could this War God girl truly be the master of the Nether Palace?

If this were true, it would indeed be astonishing.

Entering the Medicine Garden, Chu Hao was immediately struck with amazement at the Spirit Grasses planted here—they were too astonishing!

"Star Dragon Grass! Purple Moon Demon Fruit! Cold Frost Cloud Sprouts!" Fat Cat kept exclaiming, its tail already curling with excitement, and its mouth inevitably drooling.

"Aha, I knew this cat was peculiar!" Luo Qingyan pointed at Fat Cat and said, "To know so many High Tier Divine Medicines, come on, what's your story?"

"Just average, just average," Fat Cat chuckled, knowing it couldn't deceive Luo Qingyan; therefore, it hadn't used Divine Sense to communicate earlier.

Chu Hao, however, laughed and said, "I'm not greedy, just casually give me a few hundred Divine Medecines and I'll be content."

—Admittedly, compared to the at least tens of thousands of Divine Medicines here, a few hundred was but a trifle.

"Roll!" Luo Qingyan immediately retorted.

Xiang Wushuang was, of course, utterly shocked, and even Feng Piaoling stopped her noisy chirping, rendered speechless by the multitude and value of the Divine Medicines. Any single Spirit Grass from here could cause War Gods to clamor for possession; many were things even a Star Master might never have the chance to see.

"Then let's make it a hundred strands," Chu Hao bargained.

"Get lost!"

"Ten strands."

"Get lost!"

Chu Hao sighed and said, "Then you tell me, how many strands?"

"One strand," Luo Qingyan gritted her teeth and said, looking quite distressed.

"Don't be so stingy, it should at least be five or six strands."

"Just one strand, if you don't want it then get lost," Luo Qingyan said irritably.

"Alright, one strand it is." Chu Hao chuckled, and as he began to walk, he said, "Then I'll have to search carefully."

"Just take this Sky Star Vine then." Under Fat Cat's guidance, he quickly identified his target.

"No way, that's a Realm Master level Divine Medicine!" Luo Qingyan said in a miserly tone.

"Then I'll take this Open Cloud Grass," Chu Hao said unbothered, switching to another target.

Luo Qingyan simply stopped speaking and shook her head.

Chu Hao switched his choices repeatedly, but she kept shaking her head, being extremely stingy, unwilling to give any strand to Chu Hao.

"Then you tell me, what exactly are you willing to give?" Chu Hao spread his hands.

Luo Qingyan's eyes roamed, and she said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but right now, even if I give you Star Master or Realm Master level Divine Medicine, could you refine it? Alright, alright, let me find you a suitable Spiritual Medicine instead."

She walked through the Medicine Garden with her hands tied behind her back, and soon after, she came back with a smile, whoosh, her figure flashed, and she picked a strand of grass.

Chu Hao's face twitched, "Don't think I didn't see that. What kind of Spiritual Medicine is this? It's clearly just some weeds that grew outside the medicine field!"

Although Luo Qingyan was called out by Chu Hao on the spot, she kept a straight face and argued, "Who says these are weeds? Didn't you notice the boundless Spiritual Energy entwining above? Even if it is a weed, having grown here for countless years, absorbing so much Spiritual Energy emitted by the Divine Medicines, it naturally turned into a Spiritual Medicine as well. Don't you understand?"

"Just admit you're stingy," Chu Hao muttered.

"You little brat, do you want to be refined again?" Luo Qingyan threatened, baring her teeth.

"Fine, if it's a weed then it's a weed. I'll just take it off your hands," Chu Hao nodded, Fat Cat had also said that Luo Qingyan wasn't lying. Even if it's just a weed, by absorbing so much Spiritual Energy from the Medicine Garden, it definitely could become a Spiritual Medicine.

Plus, at this stage, he couldn't digest a Divine Medicine anyway. Eating it would only bring trouble upon himself.

"You know the score, then I will help you," Luo Qingyan nodded, "Take this Spiritual Medicine, and I'll aid you in refining it so you can fully absorb the benefits within."

Without another word, Chu Hao crunched away and swallowed the Spiritual Medicine.

Luo Qingyan stretched out her hand, and Laws surged out in sheets, pressing down on Chu Hao.

Chu Hao, on the other hand, sat down cross-legged. The medicine's power was already circulating, wildly enhancing his cultivation, and his Unique Life Spring was rapidly expanding.

Not good!

Chu Hao's complexion changed because his Life Spring was expanding too fast!

The limit of the Life Spring correlates with the level of cultivation. As one's realm advances, the limit of the Life Spring correspondingly increases. His realm hadn't broken through yet, but his Life Spring had already expanded to its limit.

What's worse is that, due to the powerful medicinal force of the Spiritual Medicine, it continued to crowd in madly. At this rate, his Life Spring would burst!

If he asked Luo Qingyan to help extract the medicinal force now, that would mean wasting the Spiritual Medicine, which was not an option.

Break through it is, then!

Chu Hao clenched his teeth and began to assault the Tenth Tier War Venerate.

The greater the pressure, the calmer he became, his powerful Derivation ability unfolding, capturing the secret of the elements.

Fast, fast, fast, the Life Spring is about to explode!

Chu Hao bellowed, and the Soul Seed figure in his Sea of Consciousness immediately shattered and then began to reform, reaching a height of ten meters.

This wasn't just a simple change in height, but represented a new level of understanding of the elements of heaven and earth. As the Soul Seed figure began to reshape, his Life Spring also broke through its limits, then expanded at a staggering rate.

Not good, at this rate, the Life Spring will soon reach its limit again.

He simply had to break through once more!

As the medicinal force nourished him, his Divine Soul was also growing stronger. The Soul Seed figure, previously forcefully stretched to ten meters in height, had many fractures, which were now rapidly being repaired.
