Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 578: Ceding Territory and Paying Compensation



Zhou Huan sneered, "Little brats, come and meet your doom!"

"Should I go or you?" Chu Haoyue said.

"You're the older brother, so of course, it's you," Chu Niancheng spread his hands.

"This guy's too weak, you go," he replied.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you saying you're stronger than me?"

"Of course, who else is the older brother here?"

"Pah!"

"Then let's do rock, paper, scissors."

"Alright!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Watching the two kids play so merrily, Zhou Huan couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Were they taking him too lightly? He roared and charged at them, his hands swinging up, bringing a surging coldness with them.

"Dare to cause trouble?"

"Take this punch!"

The two little ghosts threw punches simultaneously, heading straight for Zhou Huan.

"Seeking death!" Zhou Huan snorted coldly. These two youngsters had just stepped into the War General tier, while he had long reached the Peak War General, nowhere near the same level in terms of power.

His great fist met their tiny ones, the comparison in size was simply disproportionate.

Boom!

When they collided, a bizarre scene unfolded, the little fists flickered with Elemental Light and turned ethereal!

"Elemental Transformation!" Qiu Feiwen and the four War Emperors exclaimed simultaneously.

They naturally knew what Elemental Transformation was. That was a capability passed down through bloodline from an ancestor who had been a War God, a common ability among all descendants of War Gods. However, the extent of bloodline reversion varied, some manifested Elemental Transformation at the War Emperor level, while others could do so even at a Warrior.

But appearing in two young members of the Human Race, what did that imply?

The Human Race… had produced a War God!

Hisss, when had this happened? How could it be? One knows that breaking into a War God would invariably bring about a Heavenly Tribulation, a hugely sensational matter; how could the tribe's War Gods and Star Master not be aware of it?

Why? Why?

"Hit his butt!" The Chu Family's two little ones kept striking. Mischievous from a young age, and coupled with training under Yun Cai, the combat fanatic, every day, their battle senses were incredibly sharp, almost ingrained in their instincts.

They took Elemental Transformation to the extreme, continuously dodging Zhou Huan's attacks. Yet their little fists landed heavy, forceful blows, making Zhou Huan grunt continuously, visibly dominating the scene.

Peculiarly enough, a Peak War General couldn't suppress two little humans.

The atmosphere in the arena grew somewhat oppressive. The Red Camel Clan had always looked down on the Human Race, so this outcome naturally shocked and angered them.

"Enough!" Qiu Feiwen said coldly, "A bunch of waste, forcing me to act personally."

"Please forgive us, Lord!" A large group of people knelt.

Zhou Huan also retreated, his advantage in realm making it not too difficult to disengage. His face was flush with embarrassment; being a warrior of the Red Camel Clan, he should have been able to suppress two little humans, who were merely Low Tier War Generals.

Facing the feeble Human Race, it had always been a case of the Red Camel Clan beating a higher realm with a lower one, never the other way around. Now that Zhou Huan had overturned this precedent, it stung him to the bone.

Qiu Feiwen stepped forward, his tall figure casting a long shadow. Typically, Red Camel Clan members were only two zhang tall, but he stood at three zhang, thus appearing even more formidable.

"What should we do, this guy looks really tough," one child said.

"Feels like we can't beat him."

"We can only use our ultimate move."

"Right!"

Hearing the words 'ultimate move,' Qiu Feiwen also tensed up slightly, not daring to take any chances since these two kids were descendants of a War God. Who knew what sort of ultra-ability they had?

"Aunt Yun! Aunt Xiaocao! Aunt Xue! Sister Yan! Help us!" The two little ones started screaming at the top of their lungs.

Goodness! Qiu Feiwen felt like he could spew a mouthful of old blood; so this was their ultimate move, calling for help? Dammit, how dare they mock him! He was a dignified War Emperor, akin to a king in this region. To be mocked, and by two Human Race kids?

Seeing the murderous fury on Qiu Feiwen's face, all members of the Red Camel Clan knew he was about to fly off the handle, quickly shouting, "Run, Lord Qiu is about to explode!"

"Run! If we're slow we'll get killed by Lord Qiu too!"

"Lord Qiu is merciless when he blows a fuse!"

People were crying and wailing, none had expected these two Human Race kids to be so sharp, provoking Qiu Feiwen with just a few words.

"Die!" Lord Qiu charged forward, striking at Chu Haoyue and his companion.

Thud!

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, unfortunately landing right on top of Lord Qiu's head. The impact was as heavy as a mountain, and just like that, Lord Qiu was completely flattened, squashed underfoot.

Whoosh, the mountain breeze swept by, and all was eerily quiet.

The fleeing members of the Red Camel Clan stopped in their tracks and turned around, their mouths twitching in shock. Lord Qiu's tongue was sticking out, his eyeballs rolled back, blood streaming from all orifices—it seemed he was dead.

But that was Lord Qiu, the War King, to be stomped to death with just one foot; how could anyone believe it?

"You two little devils, why are you calling me?" Yun Cai said nonchalantly, "Who wanted to kill you? Let everyone see!"

Chu Haoyue and Chu Niancheng simultaneously pointed under her foot: "Aunt Yun, it seems like you've stepped on someone to death!"

"Ah!" Yun Cai quickly jumped aside, moving away, only to see Lord Qiu truly lying there flat, but his mid-section had sunk into the ground to some unknown depth, only his limbs and head bent upwards slightly.

"Eh, what kind of quality is this, dead after one step!" she complained, her gaze shifting to the other members of the Red Camel Clan as she murmured, "Let's try stepping on someone else, maybe they'll be of better quality."

This frightened everyone. Lord Qiu was one of the four great War Kings, and if even he could be squashed with one foot, what chance did the others have? Their eyes turned to the remaining three War Kings, who were their mainstay.

Shi Anfu and the other two were also trembling. Their strength was on par with Lord Qiu, but if Lord Qiu was killed in one strike, what use were they?

The thought that Chu Haoyue and his companion possessed the power of Elemental Transformation made them wonder if there was a War God present.

All in all, they were completely outmatched!

What to do now?

"Elder, we surrender!" the three War Kings said simultaneously.

Yun Cai crossed her arms and declared, "Then cede territories and pay indemnities! Bring all the tasty foods here!"

Shi Anfu and the others were somewhat at a loss for words, terrified by the demand for territory and indemnities, but unexpectedly, they were also asked for tasty foods, which was quite unforeseen.

Was she really that powerful?

"What's with those looks?" Yun Cai snapped fiercely, feeling disrespected.

Shi Anfu and his companions hurriedly forced smiles, not daring to anger her further.

"Bring two mounts too, the most majestic ones!"

"The most powerful ones!"

"The most impressive ones!"

Chu Haoyue and his companion each added a request.

Shi Anfu and the other two War Kings could only nod in agreement, for now whatever these members of the Human Race suggested, they had to follow, ready to report the emergence of such powerful beings among the Human Race once they got back.

Throughout all this, Chu Hao hadn't shown his face; he naturally didn't need to deal with these minor characters. When the Red Camel Clan summoned a War God, or even a Star Master, that would be his cue to step in.

Over these days, he was continuously comprehending the Laws of the Five Elements. Theoretically, he was already qualified to break through to the level of a Star Master since the Heaven Devouring Beast had sent back enough Space Law. Yet, Chu Hao decided to use the Laws of the Five Elements to achieve his breakthrough, which is why he was suppressing his realm.

And his Flame Furnace finally unleashed its full potential, effortlessly capturing the laws of heaven and earth and refining them for his use, allowing him to make rapid progress in the realms of the Five Elements and the Six Series of Thunder.

Having stepped into a War God, Chu Hao was also able to practice the Three Phases Technique, but currently couldn't activate it. However, the future self in his Sea of Consciousness was becoming more ethereal, and the Heavenly Devouring Beast clone within was responding in kind, forming a transcendent scene that spanned time and space.

He also gained some understanding of the Time Law, progressing swiftly on this path.

Of course, the Heaven Devouring Beast clone was progressing even faster—it was a creature of heaven and earth that improved its Cultivation by devouring planets, and in the vast universe, what was most abundant? Naturally, barren planets were.

At present, the Heaven Devouring Beast clone had reached the Sixth Tier of a Star Master, progressing alarmingly fast.

Fu Xue, Gu Fei, and others mobilized, contacting nearby members of the Human Race, while a site for a grand Human Race city had been selected, ready to start construction once there were enough workers. As for resources, well, heh, naturally, the defeated Red Camel Clan of Cloud Watching Town would provide them.

The Red Camel Clan was employing a delaying tactic, conceding territory for the Human Race to use for building cities and preparing all sorts of materials while also reporting to Jiangyang City, calling for experts to come to their aid.

Jiangyang City was, after all, where a War Emperor was stationed.

Could there possibly be a War God-level powerhouse among the Human Race?

When this news reached Jiangyang City, it caused a wave of laughter, taken as a huge joke. A mere race such as the Human Race, while extremely populous, had always been weak, mostly huddled in forests, barely scraping by, with a minority serving as servants to the three great clans, undertaking various menial tasks.

Could such a weak race possibly have a War God-level powerhouse? What a colossal joke!

Because of this, Jiangyang City even sent a War Venerate to Cloud Watching Town to scold them. He speculated that Lord Qiu might have died due to infighting, but Shi Anfu and the others, to shirk responsibility, had blamed it on the Human Race, thus deceiving Jiangyang City, which was utterly preposterous.

Upon arriving at Cloud Watching Town, he scolded those involved in the battle who were adamantly claiming that the Human Race woman had merely flown out and crushed Lord Qiu to death, and even two Human children were unable to do anything about Zhou Huan.

One or two might be dismissed by the War Venerate, but with everyone saying the same, he began to have doubts and decided to personally visit the village for investigation only to flee immediately afterwards and return to Jiangyang City.

The Human Race had produced a War Emperor!

That was the message he brought back because he saw Gu Qingcheng, Xiaocao, and Fu Xue, although he couldn't sense their exact level of Cultivation, it was undoubtedly that of a War Emperor, as Jiangyang City had such powerhouses too.

Incredible! Incredible!

Jiangyang City did not act immediately but continued to report up to Shihong City. A few days later, a War Emperor arrived.

Thus, the Red Camel Clan mobilized once again. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it at Starting Point (qidian.com) by voting for it and casting monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
