Chapter 573: The Journey is a Vast Stellar Ocean
Chu Hao led everyone to the Starry Sky Transmission Array. The awe of the War God rippled through the air, instantly making everyone nearby feel uneasy.
The War God, transcending mortals, was high above.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Gu Fei squeezed through the crowd, and even after nearly ten years, he had successfully broken through to become a War Emperor. Yet his straightforward personality hadn't changed at all as he ran over.
Chu Hao was puzzled and said, "I thought you had already gone to the New Continent."
"Heh heh, my beloved sister is still here. How could I bear to leave?" Gu Fei said, his eyes bulging as they scanned over Chu Haoyue and Chu Niancheng, and he exclaimed, "Your son is even old enough to help out now!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you say you miss me, but you didn't even know you had a nephew. You really miss me a lot!" Gu Qingcheng huffed.
Gu Fei was embarrassed, looking left and right at the two rascals, and asked, "Which one of these is my nephew?"
Gu Qingcheng patted Chu Niancheng on the head and said, "Call him uncle."
Chu Niancheng sized Gu Fei up and down and said, "Too ugly. I don't want an uncle like this."
"Sweetie, although he is indeed born from the same parents as me, and he does look a bit tragic, you must remember he is your real uncle, and mother can't do anything about that," Gu Qingcheng said, shaking her head in apparent frustration.
"Mhm! Mhm!" Chu Niancheng nodded vigorously.
"You—" Gu Fei said dejectedly. Were these really his sister and nephew? They were really giving him a hard time.
Chu Hao burst into laughter, put his arm around Gu Fei's shoulder, and laughed, "Come on, tell me the real reason you stayed."
Gu Fei chuckled and pointed towards the distance.
Following his gesture, Chu Hao looked over and suddenly understood. Standing there was a woman with a stunning figure and astonishing beauty.
It was Yan Feixue.
So that's why he clung to this place and refused to leave. Ehh, Yan Feixue hadn't gone to the New Continent either?
"Most of the youngsters have stayed here because the New Continent really isn't suitable for cultivation. Everyone wants to wait until the very last moment to leave, but now it's about time," Gu Fei said.
Chu Hao nodded and asked, "How is it going with her? When are you going to invite me to the wedding?"
"Ah!" Gu Fei sighed, "I'd like to, but she always keeps me at arm's length. It's driving me crazy."
"Hahaha!" Chu Hao laughed heartily. "Keep at it."
After doing a lot of persuading with Chu Niancheng, the rascal finally agreed to call Gu Fei uncle, which brought Gu Fei to tears. Being an elder was indeed not easy.
"Greetings, Lord Chu!" Everyone bowed to Chu Hao. Before now, Chu Hao had only been known as a potential genius, but now things were different—he had officially stepped into the War God Realm, becoming the strongest existence in this universe.
Deities, transcending the secular, with life elevated high above.
Everyone bowed, even Yan Feixue was no exception. In front of the War God, every individual had to bow their noble heads.
Chu Hao nodded, raised his hand, and said, "Rise. Don't be complacent." In the Star Universe, being a War God was just the beginning. It was also because the Sky Martial Star had been sealed by a great array for so long that the appearance of a War God caused such a fuss.
A large crowd of old friends came over, most of them classmates from the War God Academy, as well as some geniuses he had met at the Heaven Talented Assembly in the Nine States. Among them, the strongest were only fifth-tier War Emperors, their gap with Chu Hao beyond measurement.
In the past, they could compete with Chu Hao, but now they could only look up to him, which made them all sigh endlessly.
As time passed like waves eroding sand, the true geniuses only shone brighter. Compared to them, Chu Hao was like the moon in the sky, and they were but mere fireflies, the difference was simply too great.
The Starry Sky Transmission Array activated, and amid pulsing starlight, Chu Hao and the others immediately disappeared within the array.
With the power of the void pulling at them, when Chu Hao and his group regained their senses, they found themselves in an unfamiliar world. Immediately, everyone felt the scarcity of spiritual energy, as if they had entered a void, an indescribable discomfort settling in.
If they had to live here for long, their realms would be forcefully diminished, regressing them to mere mortals—unless they constantly refined spirit stones to maintain their realms. But the problem was, where could they get so many spirit stones?
Here, War Gods were plentiful, even several Star Masters were present, their massive presence engulfing the small star.
If outsiders came here, they would be shocked; a measly star, not even a tenth-class star, was home to so many powerhouses, like something out of a dream.
"Hey, you finally made it." Luo Qingyan appeared, still riding on the War Elephant transformed by Xiang Wushuang. For War Gods and Star Masters, the lack of spiritual power wasn't an issue; as long as there were Laws to comprehend, they could still thrive, so even living on such a planet didn't weaken her strength at all.
"Why are you still here?" Chu Hao sighed, even now that he had stepped into the War God, he still didn't want anything to do with this witch.
"Silly, my dad said you are my disaster, but also the only one who can save me, so how could I stray too far from you? I'm still counting on you to save my life!" Luo Qingyan said.
Chu Hao shivered and said, "I now have a wife and kids. You can't keep hanging around me all the time!"
"Huh, really did produce two little ones!" Luo Qingyan blinked her large eyes, "Really didn't expect that you, such an unreliable guy, could become a dad."
"Hey, hey, hey."
Chu Haoyue and Chu Niancheng both rushed out and each hugged one leg of Luo Qingyan, sweetly saying, "Hello, sister!"
"You two little rascals!" Luo Qingyan grabbed each troublemaker with one hand, lifting them up, "Just like their father, you need to be wary of them." Then she turned to Chu Hao, "We should leave now."
Chu Hao looked up at the starry sky, "You and I can traverse the Star Universe, but what about everyone else?"
"Simple, just bring them into my Star Sea," Luo Qingyan said.
"Star Sea?"
"A Star Master opens up the Star Sea, taking the first step in creating a personal universe, thus capable of containing all things in the world."
Chu Hao murmured, the human body itself is a great treasure, but it can only be gradually unlocked after becoming a War God, incorporating the Laws within oneself, forming a Laws Body, Taoism profound yet mysterious. He hadn't expected that after opening the Star Sea, one could even store objects like the Mustard Seed Ring.
What's more miraculous is that even living beings can be contained, as if truly a realm had been opened within the body.
He was worried about how to take Su Wanyue and the others with him; without a star universe-level skyship, it was impossible for mortals to traverse the Star Universe. Now, this problem seemed perfectly resolved.
"That's not bad, when do you want to leave?" Chu Hao asked.
"Now, immediately, right away!" Luo Qingyan exaggeratedly said, "I've lingered here for ten years, almost sick of it."
Chu Hao laughed heartily. She had become a Star Master by refining the fruits of the World Tree, so no matter what, his strength wouldn't increase at all, nor would it decline. Therefore, even in this place of perfect Laws, she couldn't cultivate and was naturally bored.
"Alright, let's go."
Luo Qingyan took everyone into her Star Sea. She originally planned to take Chu Hao as well because she felt that a Star Master's speed far surpassed that of a War God, and if Chu Hao traveled on his own, he would definitely slow her down.
But Chu Hao didn't think so; he had mastered the Space Law, and in terms of speed, he was absolutely top-notch in the world.
"Alright, let's see who is faster."
Both of them ascended into the sky, where the explosive power of the Star Master was fully displayed. Without unfolding the Spatial Teleportation, Chu Hao couldn't keep up with the Star Master at all. With just a flash, Luo Qingyan entered into the vast starry sky, leaving him an endless distance behind, at least as far as several hundred planets.
However, once Chu Hao also broke into the starry sky, his path became clear, just needing to head in one direction.
The Space Law circulated, and his speed was instantly as fast as streaking light.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, in one step he covered billions of miles.
After Luo Qingyan had flown for a long time, she looked back. With the immense strength of her Divine Sense as a Star Master, despite being billions of miles away, she could still see the New Continent because the universe was empty, and the line of sight was unobstructed.
Strange, where was Chu Hao?
That kid couldn't have gone in the opposite direction, could he?
"Hey, hey, hey, who are you looking for?" Chu Hao's voice suddenly came from in front of her.
Luo Qingyan was shocked; turning around, she saw that Chu Hao had somehow gotten ahead of her.
How could this be?
She might not have cultivated the Space Law, but she was still a Star Master. The speed at which she tore through space was many times that of a War God, taking steps of tens of thousands of miles. How could she possibly be overtaken by Chu Hao?
"I told you, just in terms of running, you might not be my match!" Chu Hao laughed loudly, suddenly spreading two wings behind him, lightly flapping them, the Space Law surged, instantly covering billions of miles.
Luo Qingyan was astounded. She could only take steps of tens of thousands of miles, but Chu Hao covered billions, his speed a billion times faster than hers!
"Space Law!" she blurted out, "How could this be, you actually advanced to War God using the Space Law?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, I became a War God through the Great Five Elements Laws," Chu Hao replied as he flapped his wings, returning. If he merely relied on the advantages brought by the Heaven Devouring Beast, his achievements would only be comparable to the beast.
However, the Heaven Devouring Beast is a Strange Beast of heaven and earth, naturally adept at using the Space Law. No matter how hard Chu Hao tried, he could never surpass it. But the path he aimed to take was to surpass all existences, becoming the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.
He must be stronger.
Thus, he ascended to War God using the Great Five Elements Laws, continuing to derive his Chaos Will, ultimately aiming to break through to Eternal Heavenly Emperor with this.
"Then how could you use the Space Law?" Luo Qingyan asked, puzzled.
Chu Hao hesitated slightly, "Do you still remember the Heaven Devouring Beast?"
"What, you were able to comprehend the Space Law through the Heaven Devouring Beast?" Luo Qingyan exclaimed, then immediately shook her head, "Unless you possessed the Heaven Devouring Beast, it's impossible to extract the Space Law from it. But you are clearly right here!"
She was utterly incredulous. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your vote for recommended tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
