Chapter 568: A Fierce Battle with the War God
"How dare you!" the Dragon Crown Prince shouted in anger, his purple-golden field surged like a giant dragon rolling, with divine patterns blooming, and the Gold Series Laws operating, overflowing with the fearsome might of heaven and earth.
Laws belong to heaven and earth, representing the most powerful, most primal force in the world. Because they are so potent, many after attaining the War God status neglect the cultivation of their Physique, blindly pursuing the strengthening of the Divine Soul.
Indeed, the power of the Laws was formidable. The Law of the Gold Series wielded by the Dragon Crown Prince was full of destructive power. "Gold governs killing," symbolic of sharpness and destruction, his enraged strike causing the Might of the Laws to surge immensely.
Yet, he couldn't capture Chu Hao at all. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Chu Hao constantly engaged in Spatial Teleportation, managing to move freely even within the Dragon Crown Prince's field.
This was truly inconceivable.
In the field domain, the War God is king!
Even among War Gods, no one dared to let their opponent open their field and envelop them within it; they would open their own field in opposition instead. Otherwise, not to mention having their life and death in the hands of the opponent, they would at least end up in an utterly disadvantageous position, which was extremely unfavorable.
Therefore, Chu Hao's performance was not only shocking but also bizarre!
How could this be possible?
Merely a First Tier War Emperor, who hadn't even touched the edges of being a War God, yet even War Gods were helpless against him, monstrously defying the heavens!
Chu Hao kept striking. Smack, smack, smack, smack, one alien race powerhouse after another was mercilessly killed by him. Chu Hao now embodied a killing god, surrounded by a fearsome aura of murder, as if capable of burning the heavens and extinguishing the earth.
What he hated most was people harming those close to him. Now, the Dragon Crown Prince had come with men to kill him and even wanted to eradicate Su Wanyue and the other ladies, threatening the entire He Family. How could he not be furious?
Kill!
Smack, smack, smack, one head after another was exploded, Chu Hao indifferent and ruthless. What alien Heaven Talented? To him, they were irrelevant, treated like mere dogs to be done away with!
"Chu Hao!" the Dragon Crown Prince roared. These people were his core members, many of whom were geniuses, his future effective aides in conquering the Stellar Seas. But now they were being mercilessly slaughtered by Chu Hao, driving him into a rage.
"If you don't stop, I'll slaughter them all!" He pointed at Su Wanyue, He Lingtian, and the others as he spoke.
"You can't kill anyone!" Chu Hao paid him no mind; amidst frequent teleportations, he continued to explode the heads of dozens more.
"Damn it!" the Dragon Crown Prince was furious, charging toward Su Wanyue and the others.
But as soon as he moved, he found that Su Wanyue and the others had vanished, his heart skipped a beat. On closer look, sure enough, they had been taken away by Chu Hao's Star Force Giant Hand.
His speed was too fast, almost leaving him no time to react.
Chu Hao paused, the Star Force Giant Hand holding onto the others while he continued his massacre.
"Chu! Hao!" the Dragon Crown Prince roared. As a True Dragon descendant, this roar made the entire field domain surge like a tsunami, making Chu Hao's form stagger as if he were a drunkard.
After all, he was a War God, and his strength was comparable to a fifth-tier.
Chu Hao eventually stopped, with few of the alien race left alive. He set down Su Wanyue and the others, his gaze coldly sweeping over Yuan Tiangang before turning to the Dragon Crown Prince, "Since you wish to fight, let us settle our grudges completely!"
He turned and walked toward the Dragon Crown Prince. Although he didn't open a field domain, he emitted an aura not weaker than the Dragon Crown Prince.
Yuan Tiangang's eyes reddened with jealousy.
Why, why could Chu Hao be so powerful?
He wasn't a War God, yet he could kill wantonly right under a War God's nose, with even the Dragon Crown Prince unable to stop him. Just a few years ago, he could still fight evenly with Chu Hao, even gaining the upper hand at times. But now, he could only look up to his opponent!
Just now, it would have been easy for Chu Hao to kill him, yet he deliberately avoided doing so. Was he mocking him?
How come this guy, not even a Spatial Physique, gained the ability for teleportation?
The Dragon Crown Prince burst out with fighting spirit, "Chu Hao, today I must kill you!"
"You, won't, manage, it!" Chu Hao spoke word by word.
"Hmph, teleportation just gives you the ability to flee. You're not qualified to stand against me face to face!" the Dragon Crown Prince sneered, his figure launching forward, swinging a fist, and with a roar, nine purple-golden Divine Dragons all lunged towards Chu Hao.
These Divine Dragons were all composed of Laws, their bodies interwoven with purple-golden divine patterns, supremely mighty.
The might of the field domain suddenly escalated a level, only the existence of the Gold Series Laws remained in this space, with the other Laws forcefully suspended by the field domain. This was precisely why within the field domain, the War God is king, dominating with only their cultivated Laws. Isn't that sovereign?
Chu Hao smiled slightly, his right hand waving before him, buzzing, producing a void that seemed like a window. With a bang, the Divine Dragons attacked, but were all absorbed into the "window", and then, in a distant place, another void window opened, releasing the nine Divine Dragons.
Everyone, be it the Dragon Crown Prince or the remaining Yuan Tiangang and others, all stood with mouths agape.
Teleportation was an extremely powerful ability, so much so that it could even make attacks transformed by the Laws vanish instantly. This was truly unimaginable.
Could it really be done this way?
Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently, "What about now?"
The Dragon Crown Prince couldn't believe it, but the reality was right in front of him. He could only snort heavily, clenching his fists. Since long-range attacks had no effect, he would strike up close, refusing to believe that Chu Hao could also teleport him away.
"Feel the might of my Laws as well!" Chu Hao snapped his fingers, and whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—seven air blades appeared, slashing towards the Dragon Crown Prince.
Pfft!
Yuan Tiangang immediately spat out blood—this was his Physique's power, yet Chu Hao seemed to be able to summon it effortlessly.
Being able to use teleportation was already astonishing, and now he could slice through the air too? Just how many Space Laws did this guy master?
And yet, this was not the full extent of Chu Hao's power.
He kept snapping his fingers, causing more and more air blades to appear around the Dragon Crown Prince, slashing at him continuously. These attacks completely defied logic; some were clearly behind the Dragon Crown Prince but appeared exactly where they were needed, as if Chu Hao had opened a Field Domain. Within that domain, he could launch an attack from anywhere he wished.
"Destroy!" The Dragon Crown Prince snorted lightly, his domain vibrated, attempting to obliterate these air blades, but the disdain on his face immediately vanished. As the domain swept through, the air blades seemed indestructible, tearing through the domain and continuing their assault on him.
How was this possible!
A domain, woven from the Laws, how could it be penetrated? Unless...these air blades were also condensed from the Laws, and the level of the Laws exceeded his own!
The Dragon Crown Prince immediately shook his head. Chu Hao was only a First-Tier War Emperor; he had no right to manipulate the Laws, so how could he launch an attack with Laws stronger than his own? But he had no time to think, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—as hundreds of air blades slashed at him at once.
He quickly clenched his fists, with Laws coiling around them, boom, boom, boom, boom—a punch destroyed an air blade, and after hundreds of punches, all the air blades were obliterated.
Drip, drip, drip—a stream of fresh blood rolled down from the Dragon Crown Prince's fists.
He had indeed obliterated all the air blades, but at a cost—his fists were cut, and Divine Blood seeped out.
The few remaining onlookers were shocked. This was the War God after all, supposed to be invincible and unstoppable; otherwise, how could he be worthy of being called War God? But now, while clashing with a War Emperor, his hand was wounded?
"You, you can actually utilize the Space Laws!" The Dragon Crown Prince exclaimed, not wanting to believe it, but reality trumped all, only the Laws could harm his hands wrapped in the Laws.
Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "Is that strange?"
Isn't that strange!
The Dragon Crown Prince couldn't help asking, "You are clearly just a War Emperor, why can you use the Laws?"
"Because I am talented," Chu Hao stated simply.
The Dragon Crown Prince mentally cursed, 'Nonsense,' as throughout history, many were talented, but which one of them could operate the Laws at the War Emperor Realm? But it was clear Chu Hao had no intention of explaining; even if he asked further, he would only be mocked.
He snorted and said, "No matter what, I am the War God, and my mastery of the Laws definitely far surpasses yours!"
"Not necessarily," Chu Hao shook his head. This was a fact—the Heaven Devouring Beast's avatar was already a Tenth-Tier War God, infinitely close to the Five-Level Laws, and should certainly crush the newly advanced Dragon Crown Prince.
"Die!" The Dragon Crown Prince leaped forward, attacking. He possessed not only the Laws but also War God-level power. Even if he couldn't suppress Chu Hao with the Laws, would a War God lose to a War Emperor in strength?
Ironically, he had previously scoffed at the importance of power, believing mastery of the Laws was sufficient, but now... he could only rely on power.
Chu Hao raised his hand, and the Infinite Chaos Sword Technique exploded, filling the sky with Sword Qi. This time, the Sword Qi was also mixed with Space Laws, greatly enhancing its destructive power, making even the War God cautious.
The Dragon Crown Prince also wielded the Might of the Laws, engaging Chu Hao in a fierce clash.
In terms of power, the Dragon Crown Prince was certainly superior, significantly so. As a War God, transcendent and saintly in strength, his physical might was extraordinary. But Chu Hao held the advantage in the Laws, and it too was significantly greater.
There was one thing the Dragon Crown Prince wasn't wrong about—starting from the War God, the role of power was far lesser compared to the Laws. For instance, if power could score ten points, then the Laws would score at least a thousand.
Therefore, naturally, no one else would choose to delve deeply into power for just ten points of force when mastering the Laws, though equally difficult, could achieve a hundred or even a thousand points in force. The choice was straightforward.
—Only when two opponents were equally matched in the Laws, a slight difference in physical power could sway the outcome of a battle.
Now, the Dragon Crown Prince held a significant advantage in power, but was falling short in the Laws, thus his combat power was almost indistinguishable from Chu Hao's.
Thus, the first War Emperor capable of contending with a War God appeared in history! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and support at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
