Chapter 570: Visit to the Gao Family
The strongest of the young generation of the Alien Race had thus met his demise.
Yuan Tiangang trembled all over. Even the Dragon Crown Prince had been defeated by Chu Hao. Who in the world could possibly stop Chu Hao now? He had been full of confidence, believing that once he advanced to the War God Realm, his powerful Spatial Physique would allow him to comprehend the Space Law on his own, significantly surpassing his peers in combat power.
This was indeed true, as could be seen from Chu Hao's battle with the Dragon Crown Prince— the Space Law certainly had the upper hand.
But the problem was, Chu Hao had also mastered the Space Law, and to a considerable extent at that. Could he possibly surpass him in the future?
Intense disappointment, coupled with the fact that a peerless Heaven Talented individual like the Dragon Crown Prince had been brutally killed by Chu Hao, completely shattered Yuan Tiangang's confidence.
Being born in the same era and under the same sky as Chu Hao was truly the tragedy of all geniuses, overshadowed and dimmed.
Chu Hao took a step forward and had already landed on the ground. His eyes fixed on Yuan Tiangang, he said, "Seeing as we're both from the Human Race, you should take your own life!"
"What!" Yuan Tiangang exclaimed in shock. "I am one of the strongest talents of the Human Race, and you want me to kill myself?"
"Serving as a lackey for the Alien Race and killing my He Family kin, do you still think you deserve to live?" Chu Hao's gaze sharpened.
"I want to see Lord Yue Wu Jian! His lordship would never let you get away with this!" Yuan Tiangang shrieked.
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Yuan Tiangang, you truly disappoint me. The Dragon Crown Prince, although he stood against me, at least earned my respect in his death. But you...heh, I should have seen it coming. You're willing to be another's lackey; how could you possibly have any integrity?"
"Chu Hao, you may well gloat, but I am a disciple of the War God Academy and also from the Human Race. If you kill me, how will you explain to Lord Yue?" Yuan Tiangang yelled out.
"Explain this!" Chu Hao threw a punch directly, and boom, Yuan Tiangang was instantly obliterated.
"Chu Hao!" Su Wanyue and the others rushed up, none of them expecting otherwise.
Who could have guessed that Chu Hao would be so fierce, killing the War God Realm's Dragon Crown Prince while in the War Emperor Realm himself? This feat was probably unprecedented in history.
Chu Hao nodded and said, "I've made you worry."
"Hehe, the real hero of this time is definitely Xiaocao. If she hadn't contained the Dragon Crown Prince, you wouldn't have made it out in time, and the Dragon Crown Prince would have taken us all out in one fell swoop," Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
"We really owe Xiaocao a lot," Su Wanyue also nodded.
Grey Vine sprouted from the ground, now without any vines, only a bare trunk left, looking quite comedic.
Xiaocao gently stroked its trunk and said, "Little Gray really did well."
The Grey Vine gently rubbed against Xiaocao, as if acting coquettishly.
"Chu Hao, how are you so powerful, even defeating a War God?" Yun Cai's eyes sparkled; she was the most warlike and greatly admired strong combat power, immediately shifting her focus.
"Yes, it's truly unbelievable," He Lingtian also nodded. He still hadn't come to terms with it. Chu Hao's realm was the same as his, and his aura even seemed much weaker, yet how had he managed to defeat the War God?
Chu Hao was a tough one to explain. Although he was merely a War Emperor, through the incarnation of the Heaven Devouring Beast, he had obtained the Space Law, which involved the Three Phases Technique and his three Dharma Aspects— explaining all this was truly cumbersome.
Such a big secret, he didn't plan to share with anyone. It wasn't that he didn't trust the people around him; rather, the secret itself was a heavy burden, and he was enough to bear it alone.
Chu Hao gave a rambling explanation, effectively dodging the issue.
"It's time to go to the Gao Family!" Chu Hao decided. This was his last enemy on Sky Martial Star. Once dealt with, he effectively would have a clear mind.
The death of Gao Zhen solved a not so big nor small issue for Chu Hao, because if he had been the one to kill Gao Zhen, it would inevitably cause friction with He Lingtian. Now, the outcome was the best for both Chu Hao and He Lingtian.
Chu Hao activated the Space Law, traveling vast distances with each step, a pace that even the War God would marvel at. Only in the starry void could the War God rip through the thin space for long-distance shuttles; but on a continent, the higher the grade of a star, the more stable the space, and thus, the harder it was to tear apart.
On Sky Martial Star, the War God's speed could reach ten times that of the War Emperor. But compared to the instantaneous movement brought by the Space Law, it was vastly inferior.
With a single step, Chu Hao could traverse the distance of several Sky Martial Stars, and considering the Gao Family was also in Fire State, how fast could that be?
At that moment, the Gao Family was preparing to relocate. Although they were an ancient clan with ancestors who were War Gods, there were currently over three hundred Alien Race War Gods, and it was only natural for them to be prioritized. Moreover, there were many ancient clans in the Nine States, and the Gao Family was not ranked particularly highly.
But that didn't matter much. The great formation of Sky Martial Star could hold for at least another ten years, and the Gao Family was at most waiting for a year. Thus, naturally, there were no worries.
Buzz. Chu Hao appeared above the Gao Family, not concealing his War Emperor aura at all, instantly enveloping the entire Gao Family.
"Who dares to act so presumptuously at the Gao Family!" A cold snort came from below immediately, and a figure also soared into the sky. This was a War Venerate, probably a recent breakthrough, eager to show off, and rushed out impulsively.
"Chu Hao!" But the moment he saw Chu Hao, he was immediately scared stiff.
Now, who didn't know that Chu Hao was the number one talent of the Human Race from the War God Academy, rumored to already be a High Tier War Venerate with astonishing strength!
The Gao Family's War Venerate, looking at the incredibly young Chu Hao, envied him immensely.
He was Gao Ji, now over two hundred years old, having only recently advanced to the War Venerate Realm. In contrast, Chu Hao, not even thirty years old and already a High Tier War Venerate—truly, comparing oneself to others could be infuriating!
However, this is the Gao Family, so what if you are a high-tier War Venerate?
"How bold of you to fly here at the Gao Family! Descend immediately and kneel before our ancestral War God!" Gao Ji commanded.
This was a rule silently upheld by all Martial Artists on Sky Martial Star. Upon entering the hundred-mile radius of an ancient clan, no flying was allowed as a sign of respect. However, the current War God was an exception; as a divine being, he needn't bow to anyone.
Chu Hao gave a faint smile and said, "Still living under the grace of your forefathers, huh? What's important is to rely on oneself. Using your ancestors to scare others, isn't that shameful?"
"How dare you! Get down now!" Gao Ji made his move. He knew he had just broken through and couldn't possibly be Chu Hao's match, but how did that matter? Behind him stood the Gao Family with plenty of War Emperors and three venerated War Emperors, not to mention a Divine Artifact.
Boom, the Elemental Light was brilliant and overwhelming.
Chu Hao gently shook his head. With his current strength, such an attack was indeed child's play. He puckered his lips slightly and blew a breath toward Gao Ji.
What the heck!
Gao Ji almost had his nose bent out of shape in rage. That was a full-force strike from a War Venerate! Even if Chu Hao was indeed above him in realm, what did blowing a breath mean? Was he looking down on him that much?
Fine, suffer the consequences then!
Gao Ji gritted his teeth and threw a punch, imbued with grand power.
The breath Chu Hao exhaled turned into a series of Air Blades, shining with the light of laws, exerting immense pressure.
Pssh, come, come, come, come, come, just in a flash, Gao Ji was shredded into pieces by the Air Blades.
War Venerate against Laws, that naturally resulted only in this outcome.
The area below was utterly quiet at the Gao Family.
Though Chu Hao hadn't been noticed at first, as Gao Ji ascended and shouted twice, he definitely alerted the entire Gao Family. Initially, everyone thought lightly of it, after all, it was the mighty Gao Family. Even if a War God came, they still had the clout to parley.
But now?
Gao Ji had just been instantly killed with one move! More astonishingly, the offender had merely blown a breath.
Iss, was the disparity in their strength that vast? Or was the person just skilled in lip service, with his breath attack being his ultimate move—although, such a move was utterly ridiculous.
"Chu Hao!" a roar burst forth, and seven War Emperors rose into the air, encircling Chu Hao.
"You've got some nerve! Breaking into the Gao Family without permission, and now acting aggressively. Don't think we wouldn't dare to touch you just because you're the He Family Head and a disciple of the War God Academy!" one of the War Emperors exclaimed, his eyes filled with rage.
A War Venerate, even among the Gu Clan, was considered top-tier combat power. Losing one was a painful loss.
Chu Hao spoke calmly, "More than twenty years ago, you sowed the cause. Today, I'm here to settle this consequence! All who plotted against the He Family, come forth. I'll chop off your heads, and naturally, I'll leave."
"Such arrogance! Do you think you're a War God? Even if you were a War God, you'd still have to give some face to my Gao Family!" another War Emperor stated.
Chu Hao shook his head and replied, "Truly, won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Then I shall kill! Kill until you hand them over!"
"You don't know where your bravery comes from," the War Emperors from the Gao Family scoffed collectively.
"Kill him!"
"Indeed, now that the War God Academy is practically defunct, there's no fear of retaliation! Plus, once he's dead, Shilong will be able to control the He Family, and it's highly unlikely to contest the Gao Family."
"Haha, this truly is a great opportunity!"
"Kill!"
Seven people made their moves at once. Chu Hao had previously killed Gao Ji with a single breath, making them all wary of undervaluing Chu Hao's combat power. This fellow was a high-tier War Venerate, and might even have stepped into the ninth or tenth tier, possessing power comparable to a War Emperor.
Boom, when War Emperors make a move, it's different. Elemental light erupted, this time far more dazzling, accompanied by flames of various colors—green, blue, black—each person's understanding of the Fire Element manifested uniquely.
Below, the clansmen of the Gao Family cheered loudly. In their view, with seven War Emperors acting together, victory was almost guaranteed.
Chu Hao couldn't help but smile, exhaling another breath.
Damn it, here he goes again. Is he addicted to blowing?
"Seeking death!"
All seven were furious. Chu Hao was seriously underestimating them—they were War Emperors, after all!
Swish, swish, swish, that breath transformed into countless Air Blades, sweeping towards the seven War Emperors. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation and mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
