Chapter 598 Star King Summons
"Scum, you finally showed up!" the Tiger Head Star Master sneered coldly.
"You're the scum, your whole family is scum!" Luo Qingyan would not take a loss, immediately retorting back.
The Tiger Head Star Master was instantly enraged, he was a Ninth Tier Star Master!
What did that concept mean?
Even among First Tier Star Masters, could understanding one Five-level Law be the same as comprehending three hundred? A Ninth Tier Star Master, at the very least, comprehended two thousand four hundred Five-level Laws, what a formidable existence!
To dare insult his entire family? Damn.
Yet he didn't immediately explode with fury because the man standing next to this woman seemed quite formidable. Although he had only made a casual strike before, it had been rebounded back at him, raising his wariness substantially.
"What is your relationship with this woman?" he asked Chu Hao.
"None of your damn business," Chu Hao replied offhandedly.
Pfft!
The Tiger Head Star Master almost vomited blood. You definitely must be family, speaking in such an infuriating way, does your mother know? He said grimly, "Sir, this woman has injured my master's son, her death is certain. Do you wish to die alongside her?"
"All you talk about is death, death, death, what do you think you are, sitting so high above us, dictating everything?" Chu Hao spoke indifferently, "Regarding this matter, although she may have been a bit harsh, it was your Star King's son who provoked her first. Getting crippled was his own fault! Let's end this here, or I wouldn't mind taking a trip to your old home to teach you a lesson."
The seven people under the Tiger Head Star Master were all stunned. This human's audacity was too great, not even placing the Eight Cloud Star King in his eyes?
"Human Star Master, calamity arises from the mouth! The dignity of a Star King is not to be desecrated!" the Tiger Head Star Master stated coldly.
"Enough jabbering!" Chu Hao waved his hand and slapped toward the Tiger Head Star Master.
Slap!
Even though there were at least several hundred miles between the two, with one wave of Chu Hao's hand, the Tiger Head Star Master felt the strike on his face, so crisp and clear even in the vastness of space.
The Tiger Head Star Master was completely baffled, taking a good while before realizing and exclaiming, "You've cultivated the Space Law!"
If not for this, how could a blow land directly on him from such a far distance? It also explained why Chu Hao was able to reflect his attack earlier. It wasn't reflection, but a transfer using the Space Law.
Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, speaking faintly, "So, are you guys leaving or not?"
"Attack!" The Tiger Head Star Master gritted his teeth. They were seven Star Masters, and if they fled without even lifting a finger, how could they face the Eight Cloud Star King after returning?
Humming sounds filled the air as the seven grand Star Masters each brought forth their artifacts.
Artifacts of the Star Master tier were exceedingly rare because the materials were incredibly scarce. However, these seven had achieved their legend tens of thousands of years ago and were trusted aides of the Eight Cloud Star King; thus, each possessed one.
The types of artifacts varied, including swords, towers, whips, and spears, each hovering in space, emanating a terrifying murderous intent.
"Human, this is your last chance to stay out of this!" the Tiger Head Star Master said icily.
"Chu Hao, don't hold back, blast them!" Luo Qingyan egged on.
Initially, she was apprehensive, but after seeing Chu Hao take action twice, her confidence soared. With her character, how could she not press her advantage when on the winning side?
Chu Hao smiled and said, "If you leave now, I can pretend nothing has happened."
"Digging your own grave!" Without any hesitation, the seven Tiger Head Star Masters took action. Instantly, the Light of Laws illuminated like the sun, furiously bombarding Chu Hao.
She Taiyun and his companion felt chills in their hearts watching this; the combined might of the seven Star Masters was terrifying. With three of them being High Tier Star Masters, any single one of them could crush them, let alone seven acting together.
How could this be blocked?
"Freeze!" Chu Hao uttered softly. Suddenly, all the Laws were halted.
"What!" All the Star Masters were aghast.
To halt Laws, how many times more dominant over them in the realm of laws would one have to be to achieve this? No, even if it were the Space Series Laws, which surpassed the Five Elements and Thunder Element in hierarchy, it wouldn't be possible to completely halt the attacks of all seven Star Masters.
Chu Hao's face bore a smile as he was able to halt all of his opponents' Law attacks because of his profound understanding of the Laws. All the Five Elements and Thunder Series Laws were under his control, which made it easy to halt his opponents' attacks with the Space Law.
"Returning it to you!" With another gesture from Chu Hao, all of the attacks reversed, barreling back towards the seven Star Masters.
The Tiger Head Star Master and his group fumbled in their defense, looking extremely disheveled.
She Taiyun and his companion felt incredibly gratified. Previously the Tiger Head Star Master and his crew were so arrogant, but now how fierce could they be? They laughed heartily without any courtesy, as there was no need to give face to warriors from a different galaxy in the Red River Galaxy.
"Take this move from me!" Chu Hao declared, extending his right hand; the Laws transformed into a long river, rumbling forwards towards the seven Tiger Head Star Masters, a torrent of Laws surging within it, Divine Patterns shining brightly, the might was unspeakably immense.
The seven Tiger Head Star Masters struggled to breathe, overwhelmed by the daunting aura. It felt as if they were not facing a mere Star Master, but rather the high and mighty King of Stars.
Boom, boom, boom, all seven people were sent flying, utterly powerless to resist.
She Taiyun and his companion were trembling uncontrollably. This human was too strong, wasn't he? With such strength, he had to be at the level of the King of Stars. How else could a High Tier Star Master be repelled with a single strike?
This was not good news at all.
As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share the same mountain." If Chu Hao also possessed the strength of a King of Stars, how could the Red River Star King turn a blind eye? Either Chu Hao would have to leave, or the Red River Star King would. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed impossible for two great powers to coexist.
"I'll spare you this time. Dare to come again, and I'll slaughter you all!" Chu Hao said.
The Tiger Head Star Master and his six companions didn't dare to fart, as the other's strength far exceeded their limits. They had no choice but to retreat; otherwise, they might very well lose their lives right there.
"Hao, when did you become so powerful?" Luo Qingyan asked in amazement.
Chu Hao burst into hearty laughter and declared, "I've always been this powerful, alright?"
Luo Qingyan pursed her lips, yet she had to admit that Chu Hao had always been formidable. Back in the Nether Palace, he managed to discover the Three Phases Technique and the Possession Sky-Devouring Beast, both of which were utterly inconceivable feats.
And as for this young man's combat power, there was no need to even mention it. He had always fought beyond his level, and now he was so fierce that he had surpassed the limits of the Laws, claiming the strength of a King of Stars while still a Star Master.
"Do you think they will come back?" Chu Hao and Luo Qingyan were returning to the Guangyuan Continent. While walking, Luo Qingyan asked Chu Hao.
"How would I know!" Chu Hao rolled his eyes, "The mess was caused by you!"
"Tch!"
In the starry sky, She Taiyun and Yin Yuanhua looked at each other and could see endless shock on each other's faces.
"We must report this to the Star King, right?"
"Of course, if we keep such big news from him, neither of us can afford the consequences!"
"But what if that human wins? Won't we—"
"Hiss, do you actually think that human is stronger than our Star King?"
"Although it's quite exaggerated, we have to consider the possibility."
"Choosing sides is risky! If we choose wrongly, our millennia of cultivation will be wasted like flowing water!"
Both sighed. With Chu Hao's formidable strength, the Red River Star King was bound to learn of Chu Hao's existence someday. If they knew but did not report, they would definitely be severely punished. But if they went to report now and Chu Hao won, they would also face retribution.
The key point was that Chu Hao was also a master of Space Law. The Red River Star King might not be able to kill him. If this human buried himself in cultivation for tens of thousands of years and broke through to become a King of Stars before seeking revenge, who could withstand him?
It was truly a difficult choice to make.
"The Star King must still be superior, after all, he is a High Tier King of Stars; that human, no matter how strong, could at most be comparable to a First Tier Star King— it's impossible to be more."
In the end, the two reached a consensus. They decided not to return to the Guangyuan Continent and instead went straight to meet the Red River Star King to report Chu Hao's matter.
East King Star, a Sixth-Class Star, was also the main star of the Red River Galaxy, personally governed by the Red River Star King.
Whoosh, whoosh, She Taiyun and Yin Yuanhua quickly entered the large star, but the guardian formation immediately surged, creating ocean-like waves, and a voice transmitted, "Who dares to intrude upon the Red River Star King's residence?"
"She Taiyun and Yin Yuanhua seek an urgent audience with the Star King!" The two Star Masters stopped in their tracks and respectfully raised their voices.
"It is the two lords. Please, come in," said the voice.
Yin Yuanhua hurriedly continued forward with his companion, arriving at an ocean expanse. The essence of the Red River Star King was that of a Jiao dragon that had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years to achieve fruition, and his strength had long surpassed that of an ordinary True Dragon.
The Jiao dragon, fond of water, built an immense palace in the ocean, and this vast body of water was no simple matter either. It had been collected by the Star King's great power, concentrating the Water Series Laws, making cultivation of the Water Series Laws in this place doubly effective.
Yin Yuanhua and his companion waited outside the palace and, after a short while, received a summons allowing them an audience with the overlord of the Red River Galaxy.
The Red River Star King had long since assumed human form, appearing as a robust middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a flat-topped crown on his head, exuding formidable presence. However, the pair of horns on his head made him appear somewhat odd.
After listening to Yin Yuanhua's report, an expression of disbelief crossed his face.
It was hard for him to believe that a mere Star Master could have power that rivaled a King of Stars. There was a vast and impassable gulf between the Five-level Laws and the Four-level Laws; it all seemed impossible.
But would his subordinates make up such a thing, at risk of their own lives?
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Since a new Star Master has appeared under my rule, it is only proper that he should come to see me. You two, go and tell that human he must come to pay his respects within ten days."
"And that human woman as well—hmph, she's caused quite a mess!"
Upon hearing this, sheer despair nearly brought Yin Yuanhua and his colleague to tears. Wasn't this like roasting them on the fire? (To be continued.
