Chapter 567: Chu Hao Leaves Seclusion
Everyone was in despair.
The War God had always been the strongest combat power of the Sky Martial Star, and now this supreme strength was right in front of them, aiming to harm Chu Hao. How could they possibly withstand this?
This was not just a difference between the Upper Three Realms and the Middle Three Realms. The reason the War God was deemed divine was precisely because he had completely transcended the mundane realm. How could they block him?
"Since you are so close to Chu Hao," said the Dragon Crown Prince with a chilling gaze, "you might as well accompany him in death!" Above, the Skyship, having received the signal from the Dragon Crown Prince, slowly approached.
With the army pressing down, what could they do?
"Go!" Xiaocao suddenly let out a cold snort, and with a flick of her right hand, she released a jet-black orb of light that shot towards the Dragon Crown Prince at high speed.
The Dragon Crown Prince naturally didn't consider a mere War King worthy of his attention. He didn't even spare the attack a glance. Yet, astonishingly, the orb of light shattered the Dragon Crown Prince's field domain and instantly arrived in front of him.
"Huh?" exclaimed the Dragon Crown Prince, raising a fist to meet it.
Pop!
The orb struck his fist and formed a black light screen that enveloped his entire body.
In just an instant, the orb of light vanished clean, but on the Dragon Crown Prince's exposed skin, such as his face and hands, there appeared numerous black spots, as if he had contracted some disease.
Xiaocao's face turned deathly pale; this was an attack formed from the origin of her concentrated poison body.
Her realm might not have been high, but her Myriad Spirit Poison Body was second only among physical constitutions worldwide. Unlike Chu Hao or Su Wanyue, she had a unique advantage and had already advanced her physique to Great Achievement.
Therefore, the poison from her origin was terrifyingly powerful!
The Dragon Crown Prince roared with fury. Within him, bursts of purple-golden light surged out, attempting to drive away the origin poison. However, Xiaocao's constitution was simply too strong, even he was struggling, and the black spots on his body expanded rapidly, soon turning his entire body jet-black like ink.
"He's down!" everyone exclaimed in shock, facing what seemed like a desperate situation, yet a remarkable twist had come.
"Not yet!" Xiaocao spat out a mouthful of blood, "The poison has only temporarily suppressed him; it won't be long before he breaks free. We need to leave now!"
Even so, Xiaocao's capabilities made everyone reassess her; merely a War King, yet her attack made the War God exert effort to free himself. If Xiaocao were to step into the War God realm, which War God could contend with her deadly poison?
The might of her physique was fully demonstrated!
Everyone hurried to find Chu Hao. Regardless of the consequences, they had to take him and flee. Otherwise, staying here meant certain death.
"Haha, you think too naïvely!" From the Skyship, a cold voice rang out, and alien races like Xiong Bao and Sha Tongtian, who were among the Seven Emperors, appeared one after another. Except for Xiang Wushuang and Feng Piaoling being taken to New Continent by Luo Qingyan, the other five Emperors were all present.
The combat power of these people... was not to be underestimated.
"I will hold them off; you take Chu Hao and leave!" declared He Lingtian decisively. With his Eighth Tier War Emperor strength, as long as the Dragon Crown Prince did not intervene, no one could possibly be his match, even if the Four Emperors joined forces.
Su Wanyue and the others did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement, then left.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! From the Skyship, several figures descended at once, He Lingtian roared and raised his fists to meet them.
"A mere War King's poison, what can it do to me?" The cold laughter of the Dragon Crown Prince was heard. The black spots on his body were dispersing, revealing his true appearance. Streaks of purple-golden light flickered ominously, as if igniting the fires of the great Dao.
He strode forward, his field domain expanding, instantly suppressing He Lingtian, forcing him to grovel on the ground. Not only He Lingtian, but Su Wanyue and the others were also suppressed to the ground, tiny as ants before the War God.
"Interesting, a minor War King's severe poison has given me some trouble," the Dragon Crown Prince said, eyeing Xiaocao. "You must have some special physique to pose a threat to me even at the War King realm; you too must not be spared!"
He made a move, and suddenly a ray of light within his field domain formed into a long spear and shot towards Xiaocao.
Spurt!
The Grey Vine sprang up, whipping out a vine to meet the attack, but it was easily shattered. In desperation, it rapidly waved its other branches to block, snap, snap, snap—vine after vine burst apart until only the bare main stem was left, and only then was the Dragon Crown Prince's casual strike finally neutralized.
This was an incredible feat; the War Emperor managed to neutralize the War God's strike, albeit at a painful cost, yet it still showcased the extraordinariness of the Grey Vine. After all, the ancient ancestor of the Grey Vine was the Heaven Connecting Vine, a cosmos-level entity.
But, if even blocking a casual blow nearly cost the Grey Vine its life, how could it continue to defend?
The alien races all sneered with disdain. They had always looked down on the Human Race, only uniting out of necessity due to the pressure from outer-domain martial artists. But now that they had found a way out, this fragile alliance naturally became null and void.
"Who asked you to join forces with Chu Hao?" sneered the Dragon Crown Prince with a burst of ferocious energy sweeping towards the crowd.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Just then, an incredibly odd figure flashed by, and suddenly, the traces of Su Wanyue, He Lingtian, and the others were gone. Everyone was startled. Who had intervened, and how was the speed so fast?
Moreover, this was within the Field Domain of the Dragon Crown Prince, how could someone freely come and go?
The Dragon Crown Prince also tightened his gaze, focusing on a specific area, only to see a figure emerge, his right hand controlling a Star Force Giant Hand, capturing He Lingtian and his group within it.
"Chu Hao!" When Sha Tongtian and the others followed the gaze of the Dragon Crown Prince, they all exclaimed in surprise.
The person who had suddenly appeared was naturally Chu Hao!
He had been in deep seclusion before, assaulting the War Emperor Realm, using the Three Phases Technique to communicate with the Power of Time. The Heaven Devouring Beast had also delivered the Space Law, causing an earth-shattering change during his breakthrough, allowing him to focus without distractions; he was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
It was only at the moment of the breakthrough that his future self suddenly showed him a scene: Su Wanyue, He Lingtian, and others were lying on the ground in a bloody mess, their vitality completely extinguished, which shocked him awake. Spatial Teleportation naturally activated, and he had rescued Su Wanyue and the others.
Fortunately, the scene he had just seen had not happened yet.
"Chu Hao, you finally came out!" The Dragon Crown Prince was initially shocked, but immediately regained his composure. Sure enough, Chu Hao had just broken through to the First Tier War Emperor.
How big is the gap between a First Tier War Emperor and a First Tier War God?
It's truly heaven and earth.
Chu Hao just glanced over and immediately understood what had happened, his gaze turning icy cold as he said, "Little Loach, do you want to die?"
"Chu Hao, don't fight over this fleeting anger, think of a way to leave immediately!" telepathically transmitted He Lingtian, the most outstanding descendant of the He Family and his own grandson, obviously concerned for him.
Chu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Just a War God, watch how I slay him!"
"Hahahahaha!" The people of the Alien Race all laughed. "Just a War God," and still "just"? Your arrogance is sky-high; we have never seen someone as arrogant as you.
Chu Hao swept his gaze over them and said coldly, "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" He randomly reached out, and something bizarre happened—Sha Tongtian actually fell into his hand, as if his reach had bent the space.
"Space Law!" exclaimed Yuan Tiangang immediately, being of Spatial Physique, he was naturally very familiar with the Space Law. Moreover, he was about to step into the War Emperor Realm and was qualified to touch a hint of the secrets of the Laws.
Everyone else was staring wide-eyed. Space Law?
What a joke!
First of all, only a War God could operate Laws, or one had to possess that specific type of physique. Secondly, the Space Law is extremely difficult to comprehend; even War Gods and Star Masters could only sigh in despair. Likewise, only those with a Spatial Physique could derive even a trace of it.
Chu Hao was clearly not a War God, nor did he have a Spatial Physique, how could he possibly use the Space Law?
What a freak!
Even the Dragon Crown Prince frowned slightly and said, "How can you use the Space Law?"
Instead of answering, Chu Hao turned to He Lingtian and asked, "What happened before, tell me everything."
He Lingtian recounted how the Dragon Crown Prince and his people came in a blustering manner, killing He Mingyun, nearly blasting He Chengyi; also how Gao Zhen died, He Shilong bore the insults and burdens, and recounted how Xiaocao had used Origin Poison, striving for every possible second.
Chu Hao was moved when he heard this. He had heard about Xiaocao's Origin Poison before because he used to carry the Phoenix Blood Jade, which made him immune to all poisons. He had even bet with Xiaocao to see if she could poison him.
At that time, Xiaocao had said that if she was willing to pay a certain price, the poison's power was boundless, and even she had no ability to resolve it.
Now, to stop the Dragon Crown Prince, Xiaocao had used her Origin Poison, which must have severely damaged her vitality!
Chu Hao's gaze was sharp, his whole body emitting an astonishing chill as he said coldly, "I do not offend those who do not offend me! But anyone who seeks trouble, I will beat them to death!" With that, he tightened his right hand, snap—an instant burst erupted from Sha Tongtian.
What!
The people of the Alien Race all had their mouths wide open; this was their Seven Emperors' Sha Tongtian, who had just been burst apart with a slap, how could anyone accept this?
"Chu Hao, you've got some nerve!" The Dragon Crown Prince also showed an indignant expression, mainly because within his own domain Chu Hao was still acting tyrannically, which was essentially a slap to his face! He immediately stretched out his hand, boom, within the Field Domain, countless purple-golden lights swirled, transforming into seven giant hands, all grabbing at Chu Hao.
Chu Hao snorted, his right fist vibrating as he punched out.
Hum hum hum, the Light of Laws surged, forming a shield-like domain around him. When the Dragon Crown Prince's seven giant hands came slapping, they were all blocked by the shield. Divine Patterns kept shining, but they couldn't blast open at all.
Hiss. This was an attack from a War God!
The Divine Patterns represented the Laws, but the question was, how could a mere War Emperor manipulate the Laws and also stand against a formidable War God like the Dragon Crown Prince?
"Those who offend my He Family shall be annihilated!" Chu Hao moved swiftly, mercilessly slaughtering the Alien Race. (To be continued.
