Chapter 602 Reversal
Chu Hao's eyebrows furrowed as he said, "What are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do? Of course, I'm going to find the murderer who hurt my son and bring her to justice!" The Eight Cloud Star King laughed loudly, pointing at Guangyuan Continent, "And this land, I shall erase it altogether."
Chu Hao was furious and said, "Have you gone mad, a mighty King of Stars, to lay hands on innocent people?"
"Haha, mere ants, what does it matter if I kill them all?" the Eight Cloud Star King snorted.
"Eight Cloud King, you've gone too far!" The Red River Star King appeared, his face full of indignation, "This is my galaxy, not your territory!"
"But I will make a move, and what can you do about it?" the Eight Cloud Star King looked at Chu Hao with disdain, "A mere Star Master of the Space Series, do you think you can stop me?"
Chu Hao said coldly, "If you dare to make a move, I will immediately go to the Eight Cloud Galaxy and slaughter all your sons from start to finish!"
The Eight Cloud Star King's expression faltered slightly before he coldly sneered, "Can you even enter where I am?" With a great formation protecting it, even a High Tier King of Stars would have to expend some effort to break through, so what could a mere Star Master do?
The Red River Star King was also furious and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll return the favor tooth for tooth?"
"By all means, it's only the lives of a planet we're talking about." The Eight Cloud Star King said nonchalantly.
This guy is truly insane!
Seeing the rage from Chu Hao and the Red River Star King, the Eight Cloud Star King was naturally overjoyed. He said, "If you want to preserve this planet, both you and that criminal woman should just surrender obediently."
Chu Hao's brow was tightly knitted, he could Teleport, but Su Wanyue and the others couldn't! He hadn't expected that a Star King could be so shameless as to threaten him with the innocent people of a planet.
How did such a person become a Star King?
What he didn't know was that this was precisely because he was exceptionally monstrous, which had made the Eight Cloud Star King feel a strong sense of dread and resolve to eliminate him.
"Hahahaha, I give you ten breaths' time to consider. If you don't kneel before me obediently, then don't blame me for being heartless!" the Eight Cloud Star King coldly said.
Chu Hao would never compromise. If he allowed the other party to deal with them, it would be all over. For the moment, Chu Hao could only think of one way, which was to have the Red River Star King fend off the Eight Cloud Star King as much as possible, while he would open up the Star Sea and rescue as many people as he could.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
The Eight Cloud Star King's arrogant Divine Sense stirred, spreading throughout the entire galaxy. He was doing this deliberately, to let the entirety of Guangyuan Continent feel the arrival of doomsday.
"Human Race, do you really want these beings to die because of you?" he deliberately said.
"Hmph, trying to shake my martial arts resolve?" Chu Hao said coldly, "I swear here and now, as long as you kill any single person, I will hunt you down, whether through heaven or earth, and tear your body into ten thousand pieces!"
"A mere Star Master dares to threaten me?" the Eight Cloud Star King said with utter contempt.
"I will not always just be a Star Master." Chu Hao said indifferently, "In less than fifty years, I will step into the Realm of the King of Stars. Under my Space Law, you will have nowhere to hide, and under my Laws of Five Elements, you will be no match for me."
The Eight Cloud Star King just sneered, but he knew very well in his heart, Chu Hao's words were not false. Even now, Chu Hao could reach the combat power of a Low Tier King of Stars with the Five-level Laws, and once he truly crossed into that realm, what kind of power could the endless Level Four Laws unleas?
A Low Tier Domain Lord, huh?
Thus, this dangerous person must be eliminated!
"Four!"
"Three!"
He counted down, hoping in his heart that Chu Hao would compromise. Otherwise, even if he destroyed that planet, he would still make a formidable enemy—an endless source of future trouble.
He felt a sense of urgency, even a hint of trepidation. It was laughable that a King of Stars would feel trepidation because of a mere Star Master, but who could blame him when Chu Hao was just too monstrous?
Chu Hao was also anxious. He was confident he could save his family, but countless beings of Guangyuan Continent might perish innocently, igniting within him an almost frenzied impulse.
But at this moment, he suddenly paused, closing his eyes and revealing a trace of a smile on his lips.
The Heaven Devouring Beast clone had made a breakthrough!
Not long ago, the Heaven Devouring Beast clone had found a planet with Spiritual Energy, devoured it, and then entered a brief slumber. It had just awakened and officially broken through the Tenth Tier Star Master, stepping into the ranks of the King of Stars!
Countless streams of Level Four Space Law swirled in Chu Hao's mind, instantly becoming a power he could manipulate and control.
"One!"
The Eight Cloud Star King finished the countdown and sneered, "Human Race, you are too selfish! Billions of beings will die because of you, and countless lost souls will haunt you every day!"
He wound up his right hand, ready to unleash a devastating strike on Guangyuan Continent.
"You dare!" The Red River Star King made his move, attempting to stop him.
"Red River King, you can't stop me!" the Eight Cloud Star King sneered. Although their strength was similar, destroying a planet was not a difficult task for him—it would only take a few moves.
The Red River Star King thought to stop him? Absolutely impossible.
As the battle between the two Star Kings raged on, the Eight Cloud Star King, seizing the chance as he retreated, launched a palm strike against the Guangyuan Continent. Level Four Laws intertwined brilliantly, shining brighter than the Sun itself, a single blow was all it took to fracture the entire planet, and after five or six hits, it would completely burst apart.
At that moment, Chu Hao made his move.
He instantly appeared before the approaching attack, thrusting out both hands to directly meet it.
"Seeking death!" The Eight Cloud Star King laughed loudly, the Human Race was truly beyond foolish! Although this strike wasn't his full power, it certainly wasn't something Chu Hao could contend with. To think of forcibly neutralizing such a blow—if that wasn't courting death, what was?
It seemed the Human Race was this stupid; he really couldn't fathom how Chu Hao had cultivated to the level of Star Master, and yet was so terrifying.
Boom!
Chu Hao had already met the attack head-on, but an eerie scene unfolded—the laws didn't weave together as expected; instead, the attack seemed to enter a black hole and miraculously disappeared.
"How could this be!" The Eight Cloud Star King exclaimed, utterly astonished.
Chu Hao let out a "wah" as he spat out a mouthful of blood, the opponent was after all a High Tier Star Master, and using the Space Law to forcefully dissolve the strike was more than he could bear. However, he could still hold on.
"Big brother, block him for me, I won't let him kill a single person!" he said decisively.
"Alright!" The Red River Star King's spirit soared.
The Eight Cloud Star King's face turned ashen. He, the King of Stars, now couldn't even kill a person? He sneered, "Human brat, with your condition, how many more of my strikes can you take?"
Spitting blood till he spits up his life!
Chu Hao didn't bother to speak; he was already commanding the Heaven Devouring Beast avatar, and had begun to frantically devour again. As long as the improvement didn't cross a major Realm, any celestial body could enhance the beast's Realm—speed was the only difference.
The Eight Cloud Star King's strength wouldn't change, but he would grow stronger and stronger, strong enough to eventually turn around and quell this shameless Star King.
The Red River Star King and the Eight Cloud Star King were locked in combat, while Chu Hao was responsible for neutralizing the Eight Cloud Star King's attacks aimed at distant celestial bodies. Eventually, the Eight Cloud Star King became reckless; he wanted to bombard the Guangyuan Continent and the other celestial bodies as well.
How frustrating! Was it really so difficult for the mighty King of Stars to destroy a single planet?
In the throes of intense anger, he completely failed to notice that as Chu Hao neutralized his attacks, he was actually becoming gradually more at ease. However, the extent of this was so trivial that even he didn't notice it.
But it was indeed happening.
The Heaven Devouring Beast was growing stronger, mastering not just one but multiple Level Four Laws, as it devoured countless planets. Its mastery over the Space Law was getting stronger, allowing Chu Hao access to an increasing number of Level Four Laws for his use.
The fierce battle continued. The King of Stars was incredibly powerful, and since the combat relied mainly on the operation of Laws, there was surprisingly little energy expenditure, so a battle that lasted hundreds or eighty years wasn't unusual.
This time, the Eight Cloud Star King was resolute; he had to destroy a planet before returning, or else he would lose all face.
Ten days, twenty days, a month!
The great battle waged on.
Chu Hao was increasingly at ease, not because his injuries were decreasing, but because he was no longer getting injured.
The Heaven Devouring Beast had stepped into the Second Tier!
He could wield up to three hundred Level Four Space Laws, and since the Eight Cloud Star King didn't have the time to charge up his big move against the celestial bodies, Chu Hao could easily neutralize them. In this manner, he could fight for tens or hundreds of years without getting winded.
Chu Hao kept his ambition hidden; he was no longer content with just driving the Eight Cloud Star King away. Now, he aimed to slay this bastard.
The battle continued. The Eight Cloud Star King was furious as the sea, bent on pulverizing a planet—it had become his obsession. If he couldn't achieve this, it would turn into a Heart Demon, and he'd face no further progress in the future.
Two months, three months, four months—the battle intensified as the Eight Cloud Star King fought in a rage, every move desperate.
"Eight Cloud King, have you gone mad?" The Red River Star King cried out. Have your sons not died? Why the desperation? Besides, even if they had, don't you still have dozens of sons?
"So what if I've gone mad, this King wants to kill! Kill! Kill!" The Eight Cloud Star King's black hair stood on end and turned blood red, as if he had truly gone berserk.
"Kill your sister!" Chu Hao sprang into action, charging at the Eight Cloud Star King.
"Jian, are you seeking death?" the Eight Cloud Star King sputtered, his eyes bloodshot and exuding endless murderous intent.
Bang!
With a collision of strikes between the two, an astonishing scene unfolded—Chu Hao was holding his own!
"What!" The Eight Cloud Star King was greatly shocked, abruptly snapping out of his frenzy. He looked at Chu Hao's fists, wrapped with Level Four Laws.
Impossible!
A mere Star Master, wielding Level Four Laws?
Fear gripped his heart at the unknown, giving him chills.
"Shameless Eight King, now it's my turn to show my power!" Chu Hao bellowed, launching an attack at the Eight Cloud Star King. The Space Law coiled around his fists as he, like a barbarian, unleashed punch after punch at the dishonorable Star King. (To be continued.
