Chapter 580: The Five War Gods Arrive Together
Fu Lingkong was an immensely conceited man, and coupled with his long-standing fixed notions, he looked down upon the Human Race with disdain.
Even upon learning that a War God had appeared among the human kind, he did not take it seriously, believing his formidable strength could suppress them single-handedly. But now, seeing this series of Law Steps, he completely retracted his arrogance.
Although he still had confidence in himself, believing that he may not lose if they fought, his estimation of Chu Hao shot up dramatically.
So the Human Race could be this powerful!
He descended the steps and walked up to Chu Hao, saying, "Fu Lingkong pays respects to Taoist Brother."
Reaching the level of War God entitled one to pursue the great Heavenly Dao, so War Gods addressed each other as Dao Friends.
Chu Hao smiled and said, "I am Chu Hao, having just entered the Gate of the War God, and I'm still a novice. I ask for Taoist Brother Fu's guidance."
The corners of Fu Lingkong's mouth twitched slightly. Your strength makes even me wary, yet you still call yourself a novice; what does that make me, an old novice? However, with his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that Chu Hao was just in his thirties, which made his heart even more shocked.
Having just entered the Gate of the War God was absolutely no understatement!
Even if he was born a War God, it would only have been for thirty some years.
He advanced to War God in his two hundreds and was hailed as a prodigy, with the chance of stepping into the Star Master level in the future. But here was someone who became a War God in his thirties, and with unfathomable strength at that. Compared to him, did he still qualify as a genius?
"Brother Chu Dao is too modest," he said, shaking his head with a sigh, and put away all his arrogance completely.
"Please, Taoist Brother Fu," Chu Hao invited Fu Lingkong into one of the few completed houses in the city. As they sat down, fragrant tea was naturally served.
After some conversation, Fu Lingkong exclaimed, "So Brother Chu Dao has come from outside the domain of the stars. Alas, the collapse of a galaxy, that's the wrath of Heavenly Dao!"
Chu Hao added a bit of embellishment about his origins, mentioning only that his galaxy had experienced a massive star variation, causing the collapse of the entire galaxy, necessitating their mass escape, and that he was part of the vanguard searching for suitable planets for relocation.
This story was part truth, part fiction; naturally, he could not reveal the secrets of Sky Martial Star, especially since they were tied to the legacy of a Great Emperor.
The two enjoyed a pleasant conversation. Fu Lingkong, a martial arts enthusiast, immediately began discussing Laws with Chu Hao. They conversed for three days and nights, which greatly discontented Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng. Were they not letting their husband pay his dues?
Fu Lingkong, however, was completely oblivious to this and continued to monopolize Chu Hao, talking ceaselessly. He found that Chu Hao's understanding of the Water Series Laws was extremely deep, not the least inferior to his own, and he benefited greatly from their discussions.
But on the fifth day, their discussions were forcibly interrupted.
It wasn't that Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng had lost their tempers, but that the Red Camel Clan had come killing their way over.
With a War God emerging among the Human Race and suspected collusion with the Blue Crystal Clan, the higher-ups of the Red Camel Clan took it very seriously, dispatching as many as five War Gods to capture the Human Race War God—if War Gods from the Blue Crystal Clan dared to interfere, they would be taken down just the same!
In Guangyuan Continent, the Red Camel Clan and the Earth Snake Clan were two opposing powers; the Blue Crystal Clan merely existed within their crevices. Had it not been for the mutual restraint between the two great forces, plus the King of Stars' decree, they would have eradicated the experts of the Blue Crystal Clan long ago, reducing them to a slave race like the Human Race.
"Human Race War God, come out promptly to greet our clan's mighty ones!" The Red Camel Clan dispatched a total of five Skyships, each War God stationed on one ship. Their booming voices resonated through the air like thunder.
Chu Hao responded to Fu Kongling with a slight smile, "Please, Taoist Brother Fu, take a seat. I shall dispose of those few individuals and then continue our tea."
Fu Kongling was immediately startled. Those were the War Gods of the Red Camel Clan, not ones you could simply kill or fail to kill. The real issue was that killing them would provoke the Star Master of the Red Camel Clan to act, and that would be life-threatening!
He hastily said, "Brother Chu Dao, please reconsider thrice. The Red Camel Clan has a Star Master in command. If the Star Master takes action, the entire Human Race could be annihilated."
Chu Hao's smile spread across his face, full of killing intent, "No worries. If that so-called Star Master dares to make a move, I'll just take him down as well!"
He wasn't boasting, just as he had the might of a War God during his War Emperor times. Now that his Heaven Devouring Beast incarnation had reached the fifth-tier Star Master, he naturally could wield several hundred Level Five Space Laws, and suppressing a Low Tier Star Master was as easy as flipping his hand.
Fu Kongling's face twitched. Although he was confident in himself, he had never considered equating himself with a Star Master. Chu Hao's words didn't sound like confidence; they sounded like madness! Otherwise, why would he think about fighting a Star Master, even talking about killing one?
Before he had the chance to persuade further, Chu Hao had already rushed out. After pondering for a moment, Fu Lingkong also followed, hoping to do whatever he could to prevent conflict.
Chu Hao stepped into the sky and rose to the height level with the five Skyships, speaking lightly, "The arrival of guests should be welcomed. Please, come down for a cup of tea."
"Lowly Humans, you dare to rank yourselves alongside us? What a colossal joke!" came a cold snort from the central Skyship.
"Fellow Daoists of the Red Camel Clan, why not come out and talk? No need to be so tense," Fu Lingkong said with a smile, trying to defuse the situation.
"What's this, does the Blue Crystal Clan want to meddle?" a War God from the first Skyship on the left spoke up.
"Had it not been for the Red River Star King's orders, the Blue Crystal Clan would have been annihilated by now! You couldn't just stay quietly within your own clan; instead, you came here to meddle blindly. Are you seeking your own demise?" another voice came from the second Skyship on the right.
"Hmph, back off immediately, or your actions shall be considered an invasion against my Red Camel Clan, and you will be killed without mercy!" A murderous, cold laugh transmitted from the central Skyship.
"Kill your sister!" Chu Hao acted, throwing a punch towards that central Skyship. Immediately, the Laws of Five Elements condensed into a burst of Taoist Flowers, which suddenly exploded within the Skyship, creating a terrible destructive force due to the mutual restraint of the elements. The Skyship was instantly blasted into debris, and countless streams of energy surged out, spreading towards the two on either side and involving four other Skyships as well.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, those four Skyships were also turned to flying ash in an instant.
Five figures emerged in a sorry state, with one of them in the worst condition – not only was he covered in blood, but his right arm had been completely blown off. These five were, of course, the invading War Gods. They hadn't come alone, but they were all blown away by a single punch from Chu Hao, along with their followers and Skyships.
"What audacity!" one of the Red Camel Clan War Gods roared angrily. They had brought more than a thousand elite warriors, including War Emperors and War Venerates, but Chu Hao's single punch had wiped them all out—how could they not be furious?
The other four War Gods had cold expressions. Even with their supervision, Chu Hao had managed to blast all five Skyships with one punch, and one of them was seriously injured. How could such an inconceivable thing happen?
Although they had been careless, it was also because Chu Hao's strength was formidable enough to bring about such a result.
This member of the Human Race was very strong, incredibly strong, and could not be underestimated.
"He didn't die from that?" Chu Hao was taken aback, looking at the Red Camel Clan War God with the severed arm, he nodded and said, "You do have some strength."
Hearing these words, all five Red Camel Clan War Gods glared at him with bulging eyes.
Was this supposed to be a compliment?
Of course not; it was nothing short of utter contempt! This was a War God, and you thought to kill him with one punch? Did you even regard them as people?
"You have some strength, but you're too arrogant!"
"Let's join forces to take him down!"
"The Human Race absolutely cannot have a War God!"
All five Red Camel Clan War Gods were brimming with ferocity. A War God was the pivot of rise for a clan. Not to mention the influence on bloodline, which could allow descendants to undergo Elemental Transformation before reaching War Venerate level, offering long-term development that could elevate the overall quality of a clan.
They had to be eradicated quickly.
"Isn't this a bit too much, five Taoist Brothers?" Fu Kongling scoffed coldly. Although the Blue Crystal Clan had always looked down on the Human Race, the emergence of a War God from the Human Race was an entirely different matter.
The Human Race now qualified to ally with the Blue Crystal Clan and jointly fight against two other mighty races.
"Fu Kongling, there's no need for unnecessary heroics, or you'll be suppressed along with him!" one of the Red Camel Clan's War Gods shouted.
Fu Kong was about to say more, but Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "Taoist Brother Fu, these five pieces of trash are nothing; I can handle them alone."
"Arrogant!"
"Presumptuous!"
All five War Gods sneered and attacked together. In an instant, meridian patterns emerged in the sky, and flowers of Laws blossomed, dazzling and brilliant.
Fu Kongling's face turned pale. These five War Gods were by no means weak—with the lowest at Third Tier, and the strongest like him at fifth-tier—joining forces, even he would be forced to retreat.
In his view, Chu Hao's strength was about the same as his, and it was utterly impossible to stand against the might of the five united.
But, to his surprise, Chu Hao did not retreat but advanced, fiercely fighting his way into the midst of the five, and boom, he was immediately submerged by surging Laws. Five Field Domains opened up, completely swallowing him.
It was over; being caught within the Field Domain meant there was nothing to do but await slaughter.
Alas, Chu Hao was too arrogant, choosing to face the five War Gods head-on.
But then, boom, a more formidable aura expanded, bang, bang, bang, bang, the Field Domains of the five War Gods were all shattered. Chu Hao stood proudly amidst the five, hands folded behind his back, as a five-colored space vibrated and expanded endlessly.
That was Chu Hao's Field Domain!
Hiss, a Five Elements Field Domain!
Fu Kongling's eyes were about to pop out of his sockets. Chu Hao obviously had a terrifying grasp of the Laws of Five Elements to form a balanced Five Elements Field Domain; otherwise, the Laws would not be so stable. One elemental Law would surely dominate and ultimately break the balance, destroying the Five Elements Field Domain.
He had seen the Five Elements Law steps that Chu Hao had used before, and it had been shocking enough, but it was not as moving as this moment. After all, the previous one was a bit show-offy, but now it was real combat, showcasing Chu Hao's formidable strength.
"Within five moves, you will all ascend to heaven!" Chu Hao declared harshly. Since these people had come knocking on his door, he naturally did not need to be polite. It was perfect for killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, letting the Red Camel Clan have a good understanding and correct their attitude.(To be continued.
