Eternal Heavenly Emperor

The next planet was very close, and since Chu Hao had advanced to the War God Realm, his speed had also increased manyfold. With a flap of his wings, he crossed millions of miles in an instant, and within just a minute or two, he had arrived at the planet.

This time, he had no reservations at all and opened his mouth wide to devour the entire planet in one gulp.

The planet's core exploded inside him, providing him with an endless stream of energy, the kind only a Heaven Devouring Beast could refine, enhancing his realm.

It took him just three days to completely refine the planet.

Next one! And the next!

He was very fortunate, as this entire galaxy was a wasteland with no inhabited stars, so he could devour any planet he came across. Moreover, the galaxy was vast, containing sixteen planets orbiting the sun.

Chu Hao devoured fifteen of them, and his realm reached the peak of the War God Realm, but breaking through to become a Star Master required not only more energy but also of a higher quality.

A barren planet like this? No, it had to be a tenth-class star, inherently capable of birthing a Star Master.

This would be difficult.

Planets with Spiritual Energy, even just a ninth-class star, were surely occupied by others. He could either devour the planet and all its inhabitants without care or drive the people away first.

This reminded him of Sky Martial Star.

"Do not do unto others what you don't want done unto you!"

Forget it, he'd better keep looking. Maybe there were newly formed ninth or tenth-class stars that hadn't yet borne life, considering the vastness of the universe.

The Heaven Devouring Beast embarked on an endless interstellar journey, possessing an exceedingly long lifespan that made it unafraid of wasting life in the endless flights through space.

Chu Hao continued his closed-door cultivation.

He was not lacking in insights; his Dharma Aspect had already reached the Tenth Tier War Emperor Peak and could not advance any further. However, his accumulation of Star Force couldn't keep up because the higher the realm, the more energy each step forward required, which was staggeringly high.

Sky Martial Star had gone through the calamity of the Immortal Emperor's demise, and all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had been taken away, leaving the resources now pitifully scarce. A vast amount of Spirit Stones was used to maintain the operation of the Starry Sky Transmission Array, leaving Chu Hao very limited resources. He had no choice but to slowly absorb Spiritual Energy to enhance himself.

Unless he could find an Ancient Treasure!

Unfortunately, the Nether Palace was already shut, and it was unknown how many tens of thousands of years it would take to reopen; otherwise, just the Medicine Garden there would be enough to elevate Chu Hao's Star Force to the levels of a Domain Lord or even a Realm Master.

Sigh!

Fortunately, he still had Xiaocao as his good friend.

He returned to the He Family and issued a Family Head's command, ordering everyone to migrate through the Starry Sky Transmission Array to another planet. However, unexpectedly, this command met with resistance from many.

Many from the He Family were unwilling to leave because, when the Great Emperor of the He Family had passed away, many from the collateral branches had left Sky Martial Star. If these people were to return, the He Family could potentially restore its former glory.

To Chu Hao, He Lingtian, and others, this seemed completely delusional. After millions of years, who would still remember such blood ties? Moreover, even if the collateral branches were willing to acknowledge and return to the clan, how could they reverse the strength of the main and collateral branches? What would they count for?

They would only qualify to be subordinates.

But some people clung to their rosy dreams and refused to awaken. If they did not listen after one persuasion, then nothing much could be done, and it was left up to them.

Both Gao Zhen and He Shilong were also adamant about staying behind. Being truly of the main branch, if they remained, they could wield great authority, perhaps even command the collateral branches outside the domain. What great power that would be!

Even He Lingtian couldn't be dissuaded. He was romantic and passionate, and out of deep love for each woman, he decided to stay and protect his wife and children.

The old man was stubborn and unyielding; no one could persuade him, especially since he had stepped down from his position as Family Head. This was his personal choice—to protect his wife and children, a naturally righteous act in any context.

Chu Hao could only sigh in response.

He went to see Xiaocao, while Fu Xue, Luo Ping, Tang Xin, and others went to the Yunliu Sect and Lower World, taking anyone they needed to bring along to the new planet—referred to as "New Continent," symbolizing a new beginning.

Xiaocao remained cool and detached, showing no joy at seeing Chu Hao. Instead, the Grey Vine carelessly confronted him once again. This sort of heavenly and earthly spirit entity grew in Cultivation as it matured, much like the Heaven Devouring Beast, but not nearly as monstrously.

The vine had already progressed to Emperor Level, greatly surpassing any expected growth rate, naturally due to Xiaocao. Being a Myriad Spirit Body, she could promote the growth of plants.

Luo Qingyan was very interested in Xiaocao, saying, "Little girl, become my disciple!"

Xiaocao merely glanced coldly at her, ignoring her completely, which infuriated Luo Qingyan. Yet, because she loved talent, she could not bear to lash out at Xiaocao, leaving her in a dilemma. She had to vent her frustration on Xiang Wushuang and Feng Piaoling instead, causing these two alien Heaven Talented to lament endlessly.

Xiaocao had prepared a large amount of Spiritual Medicine for Chu Hao, but she hadn't expected his cultivation to advance so rapidly. Now facing the challenge of becoming a War Emperor, Chu Hao would still have to wait some time before Xiaocao could prepare the corresponding pills.

The entire Sky Martial Star was mobilizing, and those qualified had already gone to queue at the Snowy Plains Sect, while ordinary people had no way to use the constantly active teleportation array, as it couldn't send away so many people from Sky Martial Star.

On the other hand, since they were only ordinary people, perhaps Martial Artists from Outside the Domain wouldn't give them too much trouble. Even if there was a conflict between two factions within a country, regardless of who held power, they wouldn't massacre the common folk, right?

Political authority is reflected through ordinary people; without ruled civilians, what meaning would power hold?

While closed off from the world, Chu Hao waited for Xiaocao to prepare the Spiritual Medicine.

Theoretically, continuing his seclusion was pointless, as he had already reached the limit of comprehension in martial arts as a War Emperor. Unless he broke the existing constraints of his realm, it was impossible for him to gain any further insight in martial arts.

However, he had cultivated two Dharma Aspects of the past and future, one of which had even become the main body of a Heaven Devouring Beast, serving as his avatar. Others could only cultivate a Dharma Body, which was merely a strand of Divine Sense. The stronger the original body, the more powerful this Dharma Body would become, but it was also limited to only one percent of the original body's strength and could never surpass it.

Yet, avatars were different.

This was a completely independent entity, connected only by shared consciousness with the main body, but otherwise a complete and separate individual.

This meant the Heaven Devouring Beast's avatar had already become a War God, even nearly stepping into the role of a Star Master, which naturally far surpassed the main body. But this didn't matter, as the soul divided does not differentiate between each part.

For this reason, Chu Hao could sense the Laws early.

Brought forth from the Heaven Devouring Beast, crossing the Star Universe, transmitted into his Sea of Consciousness, he could naturally perceive and even utilize them.

However, normally one must at least reach the War God status to cultivate and utilize the Laws. He was only a Tenth Tier War Emperor; no matter how formidable his combat power, his actual realm was genuinely limited. A War Emperor using the Laws was like a child playing with a Sharp Sword, easily cutting themselves in the process.

Chu Hao was careful and deliberate, never being greedy.

The Heaven Devouring Beast itself could be considered an embodiment of a Main Law, specifically one of the Space Series. Therefore, the Space Law Chu Hao could study was limited by the Heaven Devouring Beast's realm. At present, he only encountered Five-level Laws, and even those were fragmented.

This was the limit of a War God.

His fingertips vibrated slightly, and strangely, his fingers occasionally disappeared for a moment.

Possessing an avatar such as the Heaven Devouring Beast, his capacity to master the Space Law exceeded that of ordinary people by a billion or even ten billion times, making gathering fragments of various Laws extremely simple.

He stood up, walked to the wall, and then stepped right through it.

The strange thing happened—although the wall remained intact, Chu Hao disappeared into it, vanishing. In the next moment, he reappeared on the other side of the wall. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was Teleportation, but his strength was still insufficient to perform it. Forcing its use, he soon suffered for it. If he had stopped halfway, he would have ended up stuck in the middle of the wall, which would have been awkward.

"Ah!" A scream was heard as Su Wanyue backed away, covering herself, her pale skin exposed, stunningly beautiful.

Chu Hao immediately felt awkward. He momentarily relished the idea of testing the Space Law but forgot Su Wanyue lived next door, and, coincidentally, she was changing her clothes.

"Get out now!" Su Wanyue commanded, her shyness making her momentarily forget to wonder how Chu Hao had appeared so suddenly.

"You'll be seen by me sooner or later!" Chu Hao muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Su Wanyue's eyebrows raised.

Chu Hao let out a dry laugh and promptly teleported again into his own room.

This time, Su Wanyue finally realized something was amiss, her expression showing shock.

How did Chu Hao move so fast?

Teleportation?

Whoosh, Chu Hao appeared in his room, unable to help but spit out another mouthful of blood. Using Teleportation twice in a row, the Space Law inflicted great backlash on his body.

Unless born with a special attribute in their Physique, only those who stepped into the War God status could use Laws, otherwise, it was self-torture, not surprising if one ended up tormenting themselves to death.

These were injuries caused by the Laws, and ordinary Pills were ineffective. Chu Hao spent a whole half month to recuperate, but he didn't waste time. Eating a substantial amount of Dragon Tooth Rice, his Body Technique rapidly advanced to the Tenth Tier War Emperor level. However, constrained by his realm, he could progress no further.

With such a Physique to support him, Chu Hao found he could use the Laws in a limited manner, without repercussions as long as he didn't exceed certain limits.

He was thrilled and gradually deduced more of the Space Law.

Apart from Teleportation, he could also tear through spaces, create space storms, and Air Blades—the abilities of Yuan Tiangang were now his too, though his usage time wasn't as long as Yuan Tiangang's due to his lack of a Spatial Physique.

Just then, a major announcement was made—the Dragon Crown Prince had broken through to become a War God!
