Eternal Heavenly Emperor

The speed was astoundingly fast, not just due to the Spiritual Medicine, but also because Luo Qingyan used the Laws to forcibly suppress the elements, locking them inside Chu Hao's body. This allowed Chu Hao to attain Elemental Perceptions in the shortest time possible, keeping his martial arts insights up with his Cultivation Realm. Otherwise, he was at risk of being violently ripped apart by the rampant medicinal power.

While Luo Qingyan couldn't directly enhance Chu Hao's comprehension, she was able to unveil all the complexities of the elements before him. As for how much he could comprehend, that would depend on Chu Hao's own ability.

—If Chu Hao was too mediocre, then his death would be well deserved.

Who made her a witch, after all?

Fortunately, Chu Hao's understanding was astounding. His ability to derive heightened, greatly advancing his perception and helping him quickly grasp the profundities of the elements.

His Life Spring was still expanding rapidly, pushing towards the peak of the Ninth Tier War Venerate.

Chu Hao broke out in a cold sweat. Was this pushing him to hasten his pace, to continue charging toward War Emperor?

He had no choice but to surge forward. The medicinal power was as tumultuous as the ocean, as if a High Tier War Emperor was striking at him. If he did not break through to War Emperor, he would have a dead end waiting for him.

Damn!

Chu Hao calmed his mind. Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Elemental Light shone brilliantly, and the Soul Seed person sat peacefully in lotus position.

In fact, the breakthrough to War Emperor was not difficult.

Of course, that was by his own standards. While breaking through the Ninth Tier War Venerate was much harder than becoming a War Emperor, Chu Hao had not only broken through the Ninth Tier but also advanced into the Tenth Tier. Therefore, the threshold of War Emperor was nothing more than a minor obstacle to him.

Therefore, the Tenth Tier War Venerate was the toughest challenge. Since he had already passed that stage, everything that followed was exceedingly simple.

When his Life Spring reached its limit, the Soul Seed person also achieved a state of Perfection.

With both Star Force and Soul Power in Perfection, he was ready to break through.

Boom! The Soul Seed persona immediately began to undergo earth-shattering changes, twisting like fog, tumultuously stirring.

In the Upper Three Realms, one refines their Divine Sense, and upon reaching War Venerate, a Soul Seed is formed. When one becomes a War Emperor, the Soul Seed takes the shape of a Dharma Aspect.

The Dharma Aspect of a War Emperor is called the Void Aspect, while that of a Great Emperor is known as the real form.

The Soul Seed person sat in the lotus position, exuding a majestic aura and emitting waves of profound fluctuations, like a sovereign emperor.

Humming, rings of silver light rippled around the Soul Seed persona, making this figure appear more and more real.

The Void Aspect was coalescing smoothly and pleasantly, easy and delightful.

The evolution from Soul Seed to Void Aspect was the transformation from War Venerate to War Emperor.

Now, with perception and energy at hand, what could possibly stop Chu Hao's breakthrough?

His body trembled slightly, as the limit of his Life Spring expanded further—many times over—and the Soul Seed persona transformed into a full-grown, silver adult figure, identical to Chu Hao. On his body was a single silver ring, emitting a faint glow.

A single silver ring signified a First Tier War Emperor!

He had broken through. It was just that simple.

But at that very moment, an unexpected change occurred!

The Flame Furnace within him suddenly roared to life, burning fiercely inside him. The Three Phases Technique, which he had brought into his mind, unexpectedly emerged on its own, forming into stellar bodies and radiating the Power of Time.

What was happening?

Before Chu Hao could even ponder the question, he felt a tearing pain in his head, and the newly formed Dharma Aspect began to fracture. Gashes appeared on each of his arms, as if being torn apart!

How was this possible!

Chu Hao was shocked. His breakthrough had been flawless, a perfect transition from the Tenth Tier, so why did the Dharma Aspect destabilize and start to crumble as soon as he became a War Emperor?

Why was this happening?

If the Dharma Aspect shattered, not only would his realm plummet, but if severe, it could also gravely damage his soul—the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chu Hao quickly composed himself. Panic would only worsen things. He observed his Dharma Aspect calmly to first identify where the problem lay. He immediately realized that his Dharma Aspect was actually quite stable.

If the foundation were unstable and the forced breakthrough caused the Dharma Aspect to collapse, then after two cracks appeared, they would quickly expand across the entire Dharma Aspect, resulting in a spider web of fractures, reducing it to pieces.

Yet, there were only these two large fissures that spread from the shoulders down to the thighs, even and without the slightest indication of crumbling.

It was peculiar, to say the least.

This splitting was out of his control, and soon the Dharma Aspect was divided into three, which then each merged into a sphere, becoming three light orbs.

Chu Hao could only stare in astonishment. In fact, everything was beyond his control, and he was utterly clueless.

The three light orbs were evolving, pulsating as if they were three light cocoons about to hatch something.

All Chu Hao could do was wait.

Boom! The power of the Spiritual Medicine surged, providing endless energy and making this evolution incredibly fast.

The light sphere quickly solidified, indeed turning into three cocoons, or rather, three eggs. Crack, crack, crack—they developed lines of cracks on their surfaces, more and more, denser and denser, until finally, with a snap, all three light spheres shattered at once.

Looking at the "thing" inside the light sphere, Chu Hao couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

Three Dharma Aspects!

Three Dharma Aspects actually appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, how could this be?

These three Dharma Aspects looked exactly like him, but they were silver, each adorned with a light halo symbolizing a First Tier War Emperor. But what did the presence of three Dharma Aspects imply?

Chu Hao observed closely. Although the three Dharma Aspects shared his appearance, upon closer inspection, there were indeed differences.

The middle one seemed the most substantial, but the other two kept flickering, vanishing briefly before reappearing and maintaining a distance from the middle Dharma Aspect as if they didn't quite belong.

A Dharma Aspect is Divine Sense solidified, an extension of consciousness, yet Chu Hao felt that, aside from the middle Dharma Aspect, the other two, although under his control, had an "outsider" feeling to them—as if they were Dharma Aspects of two different people, forcibly residing in his Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, inspiration struck Chu Hao - Three Phases Technique!

It was the Three Phases Technique that had interjected abruptly, causing his Dharma Aspect to split into three. But what was the Three Phases Technique? It meddles with time, summoning one's past and future selves, forming three egos.

Wasn't that exactly what had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness - three Dharma Aspects?

One represented the past, one the future, and the one in the middle represented the present.

No wonder the other two Dharma Aspects were elusive, as if they were not his own; that's because they were forcibly drawn from the past and the future.

It is him, yet it is not him.

Time is the most difficult Law to master, involving far too much, even potentially affecting the balance of the entire universe.

Boom, boom, boom, distant starry skies were enveloped by dense thunderclouds, but Sky Martial Star was sealed by a grand formation, such that even celestial thunder could not break through—of course, this was also because the thunder's tier was too low, insufficient to blast open the prohibitions set by an Immortal Emperor.

Fat Cat immediately bristled, looking towards the distant starry sky and said, "Which bastard again did something to disturb the balance of heaven and earth, and even provoked celestial thunder!"

Luo Qingyan's expression also turned serious, as celestial thunder is the greatest enemy of a powerful being. After stepping into the War God realm, every breakthrough is a challenge against celestial thunder because the stronger one's power, the more it can disrupt the balance of heaven and earth, leading to targeting by the great Dao.

Fortunately, thanks to the sealing formation, the Martial Artists of Sky Martial Star may advance their Cultivation slowly, and might not produce powerful beings greater than War Gods, but it also blocks many crises.

Boom, inside Chu Hao's body, there was still an astonishing transformation occurring.

The power of the Spiritual Medicine raged on, propelling Chu Hao's Cultivation to rise continuously, at an astonishingly fast pace.

Minor realms, but not the limiting Ninth Tier or the perfect Tenth Tier—how could these possibly hinder Chu Hao? His Cultivation surged like breaking bamboo, skyrocketing without restraint.

Xiang Wushuang and Feng Piaoling watched, their expressions filled with shock and envy.

Such a rapid improvement was impossible even for the united effort of more than three hundred War Emperors of the Alien Race.

Truly deserving of the title Divine Medicine!

No, no, no, it wasn't Divine Medicine, but a mere weed that had absorbed the Spiritual Energy from here, containing a hint of the essence of Divine Medicine, and thus it exhibited such tremendous power. The key was that there were too many Divine Medicines here, even Supreme Treasured Medicines at the Realm Master level. So, what's so difficult about a War Venerate achieving a few minor or major realm breakthroughs?

Second Tier, Third Tier, Fourth Tier—the aura emitted by Chu Hao became stronger and stronger, and the gap between him, Xiang Wushuang, and Feng Piaoling rapidly diminished.

"Master, you did say that you would help me enhance my strength as well," said Xiang Wushuang, wearing a hopeful expression. This opportunity was once in a millennium; missing it would make him a true bastard.

In comparison, what's face worth? Forget it!

Feng Piaoling inwardly sneered, but her face too was alight with fervor. Who wouldn't want to enhance their Cultivation, especially such a leapfrogging advance! If she could also improve four or five tiers, then she wouldn't be far from becoming a War God.

After some thought, Luo Qingyan said, "Alright then!" With a casual wave of her hand, two beams of light were extracted from within Chu Hao's body and she slapped them into the bodies of Xiang Wushuang and Feng Piaoling, respectively.

This was the medicinal power of the Spirit Grass, which she had forcefully drawn out a portion, using what should have belonged to Chu Hao as a favor.

Overjoyed, Xiang Wushuang quickly transformed into his human shape, sat down, and began Refining the medicinal power. Feng Piaoling, on the other hand, was momentarily stunned, not expecting to receive such fortune. But when she felt the terrifying energy boiling within her body, she had no time to speak. She quickly also transformed and sat down in meditation, circulating the medicinal power.

After two portions of medicinal power were drawn away, Chu Hao suddenly felt a sense of relief in his body. The vast energy was actually a kind of pressure. However, when his rush reached the Eighth Tier War Emperor, the medicinal power finally ran out.

He was unaware that the medicinal power had been extracted, feeling only a bit of regret. If he could have continued unabated, directly sprinting to the Ninth Tier, then he would have easily suppressed Low Tier War Emperors, been a match for Middle Tier War Emperors, and at least be able to retreat in the face of High Tier War Emperors.

Is this where it ends?

Chu Hao thought for a moment. This was a Medicine Garden, after all, filled with Divine Medicines. Even the air was laced with essence of Divine Medicine, so much so that even a common weed had shed its mundane nature and become a Spiritual Medicine.

What if he breathed in more of such air?

A smile broke across his face as the Flame Furnace within him roared to life—refine for me!

Hum, immediately a surge of energy flowed into his body. Indeed, the Flame Furnace could Refine the medicinal power dispersed in the air.

Marvelous!

Chu Hao silently exulted, starting his charge towards the Ninth Tier.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
