Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Triple Flame War Emperor wanted to slip away, and now was the perfect opportunity. Everyone's attention was on War Emperor Kongming, making it possible for him and the disciples of the Snowy Plains Sect to leave unnoticed.

But no sooner had he moved than he saw Chu Hao already in front of him, flaunting a toothy grin that revealed his pearly white teeth, causing him to shudder involuntarily.

Though both were War Emperors, one was fifth-tier, and the other was ninth-tier who had even blasted a sixth-tier War Emperor to death. The disparity in their strength was as vast as heaven and earth, not even close to being on the same level.

"Triple Flame, you seem to have forgotten our wager," Chu Hao said with a smile.

Triple Flame War Emperor showed an awkward expression and said, "Chu Hao, we are both War Emperors. We will meet each other again across the paths of time. Let's not be too harsh. Let's leave some room for maneuver!" Even though Chu Hao possessed the combat power of a high-tier War Emperor, his cultivation was indeed that of a War Emperor. If he had to kneel in front of everyone, how could he face anyone afterward?

Hearing their conversation, everyone else also turned their attention to them.

Although they had eliminated the malignant Huo Jiang, the Spirit Spring Sect had lost a War Emperor, which dampened everyone's spirits. Yet, since Triple Flame War Emperor was part of the Snowy Plains Sect, it was a good opportunity for everyone to vent and buoy their spirits.

"Triple Flame, you're a War Emperor after all. Should your words be taken as mere farting?" Heavenly Fire War Emperor snorted coldly. He was another War Emperor who cultivated the fire element, so he found Triple Flame War Emperor particularly displeasing.

Triple Flame War Emperor clenched his teeth and after a while, said, "I am willing to compensate with Spirit Stones for the wager. Name your price."

"I'm not short of Spirit Stones, but I have never seen a War Emperor knock his head on the ground before me. You'd be the first," Chu Hao responded with a chuckle.

"Chu Hao, don't push people too far!" Triple Flame War Emperor shouted with a threatening tone.

"What? Are you trying to deny the debt?" Chu Hao glared at him and said, "I've never seen someone as shamelessly defiant as you, claiming that I am being too oppressive while you are clearly the one in the wrong?"

Triple Flame War Emperor's face fluctuated between shades of anger and embarrassment. Speaking humbly didn't work as Chu Hao wouldn't listen. Yet to force the issue—forget about him, even if War Emperor Honglin from the Snowy Plains Sect came with the Sect Town Imperial Artifact, it was likely that he would be toppled by Chu Hao, as evidenced by what happened to War Emperor Kongming.

What should he do now?

For the first time in his life, he found himself in such a dire and helpless situation, so stressful it was turning his hair white.

"If you won't kneel yourself, I'll have to force you. I don't like uncollected debts," Chu Hao said and moved to suppress Triple Flame War Emperor.

Triple Flame War Emperor tried to resist, but if even War Emperor Kongming couldn't win, how could he possibly defy the odds?

Boom!

He was utterly suppressed, his cultivation sealed, and he lost all combat capabilities.

"Hang him at the entrance of the gate. Oh, and those few people–" Chu Hao pointed at the remaining nine members of the Snowy Plains Sect, "Hang them all up. Let the Snowy Plains Sect pay a ransom. The little ones for ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones each, or trade them for seventh-tier Treasure Artifacts, the big one, a million top-grade Spirit Stones, or exchange it with an eighth-tier Treasure Artifact."

"Yes!" The disciples jubilantly obeyed, rushing out in a scramble.

This was an unprecedented opportunity to deal with a War Emperor! And retaliation from the Snowy Plains Sect? They must be joking; who would dare cross Chu Hao, such a young ninth-tier War Emperor almost certain to be the future War God? The Snowy Plains Sect could only lie low.

Triple Flame War Emperor was tied up tightly, his face unknowingly trampled with several footprints, and the same was true for the other disciples of the Snowy Plains Sect, marked with footprints on their faces and bodies.

These people didn't even dare to plead for mercy, reaping the bitter fruits of repeatedly provoking the Spirit Spring Sect. It was their own fault for kicking the iron plate this time.

"Master!" Yun Cai and others ran over, greeting Heavenly Fire War Emperor and the others.

"Girl!" All four War Emperors were thrilled; they had pampered this disciple to the heavens before, and seeing her after several years filled them with excitement. Moreover, Yun Cai had now reached the rank of high-tier War Venerate, just a step away from them.

What could make a master happier than seeing their disciple succeed?

Chu Hao did not disturb them but called Tang Xin and Luo Ping over, granting them many cultivation resources. They had suffered under Huo Jiang's bullying for many years due to Chu Hao's influence, and he felt he owed them.

Flying Fire also rushed over, licking Chu Hao's face incessantly.

Chu Hao could not help but laugh heartily, picking up Flying Fire, who had shrunk into the size of a kitty and nestled in his arms, enjoying his fingers grooming its fur.

Fu Xue also came over, and the four discussed their past experiences in the Yunliu Sect, all feeling a sigh of nostalgic emotions.

Back then, their cultivation levels were quite similar, either as Martial Disciples or martial masters, but now the gap between them had widened drastically—the once strongest, Luo Ping, now had the lowest cultivation, having just broken through as a Warrior, while Tang Xin was a fourth-tier Warrior, Fu Xue a sixth-tier War General, and Chu Hao? He was off the charts, practically inhuman.

Discussing the experiences over the past few years, the three of them could only shake their heads. Fortunately, despite the immense injustices, they had persevered and now saw the dawn after the long night.

But when Chu Hao mentioned that the sealing of heaven and earth was about to open and a large number of foreign Martial Artists would be entering, they were stunned once more.

Just when one wave had settled, another rose—it seemed that just as they thought they could finally focus on their cultivation peacefully, a tremendous influx of terrifyingly powerful beings was imminent. In front of such powerhouses, even Chu Hao was utterly insignificant.

War God? A War God was just the lowest level enforcer. One had to be at least a Star Master to be considered a powerhouse, and beings like the King of Stars and Domain Lord, whom they had never even heard of before, would appear in great numbers.

They all felt a sense of dizziness. This news was too shocking and left them gasping for breath.

Chu Hao was also somewhat anxious. The great formation of Sky Martial Star could open at any moment, yet they had not yet found a Starry Sky Portal. It was said that some foreign Martial Artists preyed on other Martial Artists, and the entire Sky Martial Star could potentially become their "livestock farm".

Such a significant event at Spiritual Spring Sect naturally spread immediately throughout Cang State and indeed the whole Sky Martial Star.

Therefore, just four days later, someone from the Snowy Plains Sect arrived.

Only one person came, the White-haired Demon Lord.

The presence of more people was meaningless, as no one could possibly be a match for Chu Hao. And if War Emperor Honglin personally came, and a conflict broke out causing his downfall here, the reputation of the Snowy Plains Sect would be utterly ruined.

Although everyone knew that War Emperor Honglin was no match for Chu Hao, as long as it didn't actually happen, it remained just a hypothesis. Naturally, War Emperor Honglin would not come to humiliate himself.

On the other hand, the White-haired Demon Lord did carry enough weight to represent.

The White-haired Demon Lord came to request a meeting. When he was received, War Emperor Tianshuang and others also called for Chu Hao, who was actually the crucial person involved. If Chu Hao did not give his approval, how could Spiritual Spring Sect dare release anyone even if they negotiated terms with Snowy Plains Sect?

The six individuals were sitting in the hall. Chu Hao rested his head on his hands, looking somewhat listless, still contemplating the matter of the Starry Sky Transmission Array.

The White-haired Demon Lord swept his gaze across the room and couldn't help but feel emotional.

The first time he met Chu Hao, the latter's cultivation was pitifully weak, vulnerable to the point of being crushable by his finger, and that day he indeed felt the impulse to eliminate this future threat for the Snowy Plains Sect, only to be blocked by War Emperor Tianshuang and the others.

He never expected that in less than a decade, this young fellow had grown to a stature he could only look up to, a miraculous turn of the world truly unpredictable.

Sigh, why didn't such a genius appear in the Snowy Plains Sect?

"Tianshuang, Fire Cloud, long time no see," the White-haired Demon Lord greeted them with clasped hands, and then got straight to the point, saying, "This time, I have come to take Three Flame and a few younger fellows back to the Snowy Plains Sect. I hope you will grant passage."

"Sure, as long as the ransom is paid, we can talk," War Emperor Tianshuang said with a laugh. Having a War Emperor as a captive obviously commanded a high price.

The White-haired Demon Lord shook his head, saying, "Our sect can't afford that much ransom. Lower it."

"Okay, aside from Three Flame, I can call the shots for the others, and will give you a twenty percent discount," War Emperor Tianshuang cheerfully proposed. Since War Emperor Honglin had made a breakthrough, it was the first time Spiritual Spring Sect felt so exhilarated.

The White-haired Demon Lord rolled his eyes. The expensive part was precisely Three Flame War Emperor. Without lowering the price on this significant figure, the Snowy Plains Sect would definitely bleed a lot this time. He glanced at Chu Hao and said, "There is one piece of information I believe Young Master Chu will be very interested in."

He knew that the real decision-maker was actually Chu Hao, so these words were addressed to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao remained nonchalant, showing no response.

The White-haired Demon Lord's nose twitched with irritation, but with Chu Hao's strength now being so formidable that he could only look up to him, how could he complain or confront him directly? He could only grit his teeth and say, "Our sect has discovered an Ancient Teleportation Array that, according to some Array Masters of our sect, is very likely to be a Starry Sky level Transmission Array."

Chu Hao suddenly became interested and asked, "Oh? Where is it?"

The White-haired Demon Lord chuckled and said, "How about for Three Flame and the others?"

"They can be released, as long as that really is a Starry Sky Transmission Array," Chu Hao said indifferently. To him, the Three Flame War Emperor was worthless.

"Young Master Chu, the Starry Sky Portal is of great significance, and our sect has brought such valuable information. Don't we deserve some credit?" the White-haired Demon Lord bargained, knowing all the War Gods across the realm were looking for Starry Sky Portals, making it exceptionally valuable.

Chu Hao's gaze turned icy, and with a reach of his right hand, he grabbed and lifted the White-haired Demon Lord by the chest, "Old man, knowing the Starry Sky Portal concerns the lives of all under heaven, you dare to bargain with me, are you challenging my limits? Whether you talk or not, I can simply kill you and then attack from the top down in Snowy Plains Sect. I don't believe every one of them is as tight-lipped as a martyr."

The White-haired Demon Lord's face turned green with fear. This isn't how you conduct business, not your typical give-and-take negotiation. How did he resort to violence so quickly? But faced with Chu Hao's tyranny, he had absolutely no solution, as his life was indeed in Chu Hao's hands.

"Young Master Chu, let's talk nicely!" he quickly pleaded. (The end to be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote your recommendation or monthly ticket.📱 Users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
