Eternal Heavenly Emperor

In the midst of starry space, a chase was underway. And if anyone were to witness it, they would be shocked to their core, for it was a Star Master in pursuit of the King of Stars!

It was nothing short of a preposterous joke.

But Eight Cloud Star King could not muster even a hint of laughter. This young member of the Human Race was simply too monstrously gifted. In terms of control over the Laws, he was like a behemoth, undoubtedly a freak of nature the likes of which hadn't been seen in billions or even millions of years.

He swore to himself that he would obtain all of Chu Hao's secrets and then slowly kill the Human, piece by piece. Only then would the rage in his heart be quelled.

Chu Hao didn't push too hard either. After all, his opponent was a High Tier Star King, who also possessed a powerful Treasure Artifact. He was not to be underestimated.

A month later, they finally arrived in the Eight Cloud Galaxy.

Overflowing with rage, the Eight Cloud Star King declared, "Human, don't press me too far!" This was his domain. How humiliating would it be if others saw him fleeing in such a sorry state?

Chu Hao burst into laughter, "This isn't pressing. Blasting you, the King Turtle, to bits is."

"Delusional ranting," retorted the Eight Cloud Star King as he turned to engage Chu Hao in fierce combat. In the Eight Cloud Galaxy, he was a sovereign held aloft, how could he allow his subjects to witness his disgrace?

Fight, fight, fight, fight!

The two clashed in the Star Universe, with a battle of Star Kings being terrifyingly intense. It quickly alerted the top figures of the galaxy. Star Masters appeared first, followed by War Gods. They were astounded to see their king struggling to gain the upper hand against a Star Master.

How could there be such a powerful Star Master?

Those like Tiger Head Star Master, who had seen Chu Hao before, were even more shocked. Although the Chu Hao from before was also formidable, he was never this impressive. Now, he was able to fight a High Tier Star King to a standstill. What terrifying combat power was this?

Eight Cloud Star King's face couldn't bear it. No matter how grotesquely talented Chu Hao was, the fact that he, as a High Tier Star King, couldn't suppress a Star Master, was destined to leave him without a shred of dignity.

Following this battle, Chu Hao's reputation would undoubtedly spread throughout the entire Star Domain, and him? He would become a foil, a footnote used to emphasize Chu Hao's might and abnormality.

A King of Stars brought to such a woeful state?

Of course, Eight Cloud Star King was not willing to accept this. He launched a furious attack, hoping that even just pushing Chu Hao back could recover some face.

In fact, he was stronger.

Chu Hao could keep up due to the peculiar nature of the Space Law, which allowed him to evade the majority of Eight Cloud Star King's attacks, enabling him to handle them with ease. But once Eight Cloud Star King unleashed an extensive range of secret powerful attacks, Chu Hao would surely not be able to withstand them.

After dodging a few moves, Chu Hao said indifferently, "King Turtle, let's stop here for today. I'll come to fight you again in a couple of days. Do make sure not to run away."

With those words, he vibrated his Wings of Space, instantly covering billions of miles. Even Star Kings could only sigh in yearning.

"Lord Star King!" Tiger Head Star Master and others spoke with trembling voices. They had just witnessed their own leader suffer a huge loss; might he now silence them to prevent the news from spreading?

Eight Cloud Star King's face was dark as water as he ordered, "Let's go back!"

He immediately created a Communication Talisman and recorded all the grotesque details about Chu Hao, then had people activate the Starry Sky Portal to communicate with his fellow disciples and invite them to jointly take down Chu Hao and seize the opportunities of this Human.

"In at most one month, it will be this Human's end!" He gritted his teeth.

...

Three days later, Chu Hao returned with a vengeance.

The Heaven Devouring Beast grew stronger each day. How many planets were out there in the universe? Although finding planets rich with Spiritual Energy was hard, barren planets were plentiful. However, after advancing to King of Stars, to condense one more Law, it needed to devour several planets, meaning progression was bound to slow down.

Therefore, Chu Hao's strength had only marginally improved after three days when he came back to fight once more.

Eight Cloud Star King met the challenge, and after half a day of fighting, Chu Hao left, content.

Exhilarating. His mastery of the Laws was advancing continuously. Engaging in combat with a behemoth like the King of Stars, with no need to worry about his safety, allowed Chu Hao to demonstrate all he was capable of, achieving substantial progress in each aspect of the Laws.

Another three days passed, and Chu Hao challenged him again.

Eight Cloud Star King was truly at a loss. Faced with an opponent like this, he was helpless. To fight or flee at his whim, mastering the Space Law meant controlling the fight.

After each encounter, Chu Hao's strength would increase a bit more.

Finally, after a month, another King of Stars arrived.

Hundred Dragons Star King, ruler of the Hundred Dragons Star Galaxy, the seventh disciple of Thousand Flowers Domain Master — who had thirteen disciples in total, with Eight Cloud Star King being the least powerful and the lowest ranked. It was rumored that Star King Xueyang, the eldest disciple, had already reached the level of Peak Star King and might have even broken through to become a Domain Master, though whether this was true or false was unknown.

As Chu Hao once more issued his challenge, Hundred Dragons Star King did not join the fight, instead, he watched from the shadows.

——This is the fear that Chu Hao would realize victory is impossible and simply turn tail and flee; catching up with a Star Master who has mastered Level Four Space Law is definitely an impossibility.

And after this battle, Hundred Dragons Star King held no doubts about what Eight Cloud Star King had said.

There are indeed monsters in this world!

"We must capture this boy!" The two reached a consensus. However, merely two Star Kings were still not enough to completely seal off Level Four Laws. They needed either a genuine Peak Star King or the cooperation of more than a dozen High Tier Star Kings to accomplish that.

"Let the boy be arrogant for a while longer."

Several days later, a third Star King arrived. This was Seven Mist Star King, who had mastered more than 2,400 strands of Level Four Laws and was a Ninth Tier King of Stars, with terrifyingly powerful strength.

This Star King had a volatile temper and wanted to strike the moment he saw Chu Hao challenge him, but Hundred Dragons Star King held him back firmly.

As the days passed, more and more Kings of Stars arrived in the Eight Cloud Galaxy, finally numbering more than a dozen.

Now it's time for this Human Race junior to fall!

When Chu Hao came for a challenge again, as expected, ten Star Kings appeared at once, sealing off space in the first instant and expelling all Level Four, Level Five, and Level Five Space Law fragments from the enclosed area.

In doing so, even Kings of Stars were unable to use Space Law—unless they were Domain Lords, Realm Masters, or even stronger beings, since they could only repel Space Laws up to Level Four.

"Human boy, face your death!" All ten Star Kings bombarded him at once, and without Teleportation, how could Chu Hao, however strong, avoid immediately falling into a disadvantage, only to be almost instantly killed?

Crack, his physical form vanished, but not a single trace of blood was left behind, as if he wasn't a real person at all.

Three Phases Technique!

This was Chu Hao's past self. Its death had no effect on his true body whatsoever.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so many Star Kings, and you thought I wouldn't notice at all?" Chu Hao laughed loudly, his figure appearing far away, breaking free from the area restricted by the Laws.

Don't forget that he had mastered Level Four Space Law, and in terms of sensitivity, Space Law was definitely the strongest. These Star Kings didn't suppress their auras upon arrival, so if Chu Hao hadn't noticed them, that would have been truly pathetic.

"Detestable boy!" All the Star Kings roared in unison. They had been outmaneuvered by a mere Star Master, a true humiliation!

"I don't believe you can just stay holed up here forever, but even if you do, I will soon surpass you in strength and crush you all!" Chu Hao said coldly, turning his body and speeding away.

This time, he would wait until his Heaven Devouring Beast clone reached the peak of King of Stars before he showed himself again, aiming to suppress all these Star Kings in one fell swoop.

However, Chu Hao kept a close watch. If any of these people tried to take a detour to the Red River Star and raid his home, he would rush back first, trusting that he would be faster than any of them.

Sure enough, two Star Kings left quietly, even using a Starry Sky Portal to exit the Eight Cloud Galaxy first to elude Chu Hao's senses, then looping around towards the Red River Galaxy. Unfortunately for them, Chu Hao was far too sensitive to their auras and retreated at the first opportunity, intercepting the two Star Kings.

Now stronger than ever, coupled with the suppression of Space Law on a higher level, he completely restrained the two Star Kings, significantly delaying their progress.

"To resort to such underhanded tactics against a Star Master, I feel ashamed on your behalf!" said Chu Hao.

The two Star Masters were both mortified and furious, but since Chu Hao had caught them red-handed, they had no comeback. Since they had already committed to their course, they had no intention of giving up now and continued towards the Red River Star, certain that their strength was superior and that Chu Hao could only delay them, unable to pose a real threat.

Nevertheless, Chu Hao had a Communication Stone with him and immediately relayed the message, prompting Su Wanyue and the others to open the Star Universe Portal, urging everyone to retreat to the New Continent first.

This allowed Chu Hao to fight without any worries about his rear.

After the two Star Kings arrived at the Red River Galaxy, Red River Star King showed himself, fighting side by side with Chu Hao. The aftermath of the battle caused great destruction, yet thanks to the many Star Masters in the Red River Galaxy working together, they managed to block most of the residual energy from the fight.

Even so, two planets in the Red River Galaxy were destroyed, countless lives lost. Only then did the two Star Kings pull back, believing they had regained some face.

Chu Hao's killing intent boiled. While the two destroyed planets didn't include Guangyuan Continent, and his wife and family had long since moved to the New Continent, the wails of the countless wrongfully killed souls seemed to echo in his ears, filling him with indignant rage.

These people... they all deserved to die!

He needed to obtain even greater strength!

The Heaven Devouring Beast clone began to devour planets even more frenziedly, while Chu Hao himself also entered seclusion to cultivate hard. Limited by the Star Force level, even his heaven-defying mastery of the Laws couldn't unleash any greater power.

Just stepping into the rank of King of Stars would enable him with the multiple Laws he mastered to contend against a Domain Lord; killing Kings of Stars would be like child's play.

Upon learning of the situation, Red River Star King sent him countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help him rapidly increase his Cultivation. After all, he was a veteran Star King, having ruled this Galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years—how could he not have any resources?

Furthermore, Divine Medicines to elevate the Star Force level were not as precious as those needed for enhancing comprehension of the Laws. (To be continued.
