Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Domain Master Xueyang had perished; how much more so would the others?

The War God and Star Masters of the younger generation very quickly died clean under the might of the Heavenly Tribulation, and several Domain Lords who were later caught up by Chu Hao also suffered brutal torment from the tribulation. Although they could temporarily revive themselves by burning their Origin, how long could this last?

Chu Hao peacefully underwent his tribulation. Level Four Laws constantly formed, intertwining in his Sea of Consciousness at an astonishing speed.

His foundation was simply too solid, having mastered all Five Elements and Level Five Thunder Series Laws. Now, it was about merging three thousand into one and condensing into Level Four Laws—not one by one, but five all at once.

As for the Thunder Series Laws, he temporarily ignored them, as they were ineffective against Taiji Tianyuan and Infinite Chaos.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand—the more Level Four Laws he condensed, the stronger his combat power naturally became. Meanwhile, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation also gradually increased, yet it was nowhere near forcing Chu Hao to use his Origin.

Typically, right after a breakthrough, one's combat power is not yet fully shaped. Thus, during the confrontation with the Heavenly Tribulation, one would certainly be heavily injured and must use their Origin. Only after several cycles of dying and reviving could one pass the tribulation.

But someone like Chu Hao, once he stepped over this threshold, saw his combat power skyrocket as if riding a rocket, not needing to use his Origin at all.

The Origin is extremely precious to a Martial Artist. Excessive consumption can affect future progress, resonating less and less with the Laws, even leading to the waning of vitality and premature termination of life span.

All Domain Lords were shocked as they watched.

In their time of crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, which one of them had not died two or three times? For those with slightly lesser strength, it was not unusual to die seven or eight times. And the more times one died, the more difficult it became to advance in the future.

This kid did not die even once, and instead, seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. How could they not feel envious and hateful?

Countless Laws swept through Chu Hao's Sea of Consciousness. He roared continuously, actively flying towards the clouds of tribulation in the sky, actually attempting to counterattack the Heavenly Tribulation. This left all the Domain Lords with their mouths agape in disbelief.

If it were them undergoing the tribulation, they would certainly try everything to recover their vitality during the intermittent pounding of the thunder tribulation. But Chu Hao? Not only did he not recover, but he also provoked the Heavenly Tribulation. How overbearing was this?

But Chu Hao indeed had the strength. With the Infinite Chaos Sword Diagram opened, hundreds of thousands of Level Four Laws interwove, his combat power incredibly terrifying.

Boom! Thunder from on high, defiance of the heavens is forbidden. A Giant emerged from the thunderclouds, made entirely of lightning, golden in hue, and hurled a heavy punch woven with Third Tier Laws towards Chu Hao.

Unfazed, Chu Hao protected himself with Taiji Tianyuan on his left hand while his right hand launched the Infinite Chaos, as if he were a demon god capable of annihilating worlds.

Under his violent strikes, the Giant was crushed to pieces. Boom! The Laws dissipated, scattering between heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Tribulation disappeared thus!

Chu Hao officially crossed the threshold to become the King of Stars—his combat power... comparable to a Domain Lord.

He sighed in his heart. When he had ascended to Star Master, he had formed all Law fragments into Level Five Laws. But now, breaking through as King of Stars, he had only formed one percent of Level Four Laws, the gap was huge.

Furthermore, this was after he had suppressed his Realm and welcomed a major eruption. As such, he could no longer maintain this speed afterward. To form all Level Four Laws, he would need at least a hundred years.

This was more like it. Otherwise, the great way of heaven and earth would be too frivolous, even if he possessed a portion of the Fire Origin, it wouldn't be right.

"The Heavenly Tribulation has passed!"

"Kill this member of the Human Race!"

The remaining nine Domain Lords all set their sights on Chu Hao, bristling with killing intent. They had previously not taken Chu Hao seriously, merely wishing to learn the secret of his mastering Level Four Laws as a Star Master. But now their juniors were dragged into the tribulation by Chu Hao and died, and they themselves were chased into disgraceful retreats; the situation had turned into a personal grudge.

Chu Hao smiled lightly and said, "Just now, you couldn't deal with me, much less now!"

"Human Race, just now you were merely supposed to undergo tribulation, which is why we did not engage with you. Even if you have ascended to King of Stars, so what? You are still a full Realm behind us, suppressing you would be as easy as flipping a hand," said a Domain Lord.

Chu Hao beckoned with his fingers and said, "Then come at me, and let's see who will suppress whom!"

"Human Race, you are truly arrogant."

"Enough talk. He dared to destroy my progeny; I shall surely shatter his body into ten thousand pieces!" One Domain Lord made a move, Third Tier Laws circulating, transforming into a black dragon that coiled towards Chu Hao.

This black dragon was entirely formed from Third Tier Laws, representing the Domain Lord's height of comprehension in the way of the Tao.

Boom, the black dragon roared, its claws danced, and waves spouted from its mouth, launching an attack on Chu Hao.

With a wave of his right hand, Chu Hao released the Infinite Chaos. He had now only condensed a few billion Level Four Laws, just one-thousandth of the total number of Level Four Laws. But all other Kings of Stars needed to master just three thousand Laws to ascend to Domain Lord—weren't a few billion staggeringly impressive?

The Five Elements restrained one another, resulting in a grand explosion. These were Level Four Laws, terrifyingly powerful beyond description!

Boom, as the Sword Diagram unfolded, the world began to collapse, forming a huge crater, swallowing everything. Had this not been a secret region formed by heaven and earth, probably the entire Sun would have triggered drastic upheavals, collapsing into a black hole.

The Black Dragon was instantly sucked into the gaping hole, struggling to escape but completely unable to resist the terrifying pull, disappearing immediately.

Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Now, what will you do?"

All the Domain Lords were shocked. Indeed, they had merely held Chu Hao in awe because of the Heavenly Tribulation, but now Chu Hao's attack had sounded a loud alarm for them. He was a true opponent, capable of posing a threat to them.

Chu Hao smiled faintly. He was now able to fight against Low Tier Domain Lords, and all the people before him were such beings; naturally, he was brimming with confidence. Moreover, powerful Domain Lords had already entered this place to seek opportunities. Those who were coming in now were obviously not very strong.

"He's merely on par with our strength, take him down!" The nine Domain Lords still had unrelenting fighting spirit, and though one King of Stars could contend with a Domain Lord, beyond their shock, they were even more eager to uncover the secrets Chu Hao held.

Wouldn't they be able to contend with Realm Masters if they could do the same?

Their eyes blazed with fervor, and they each made their move. Suddenly, Third Tier Laws overflowed and surged toward Chu Hao.

"Direct Soul Search!" they proclaimed together, with no intention of capturing Chu Hao alive.

Chu Hao laughed heartily as he activated Spatial Teleportation, striking continuously with both hands, releasing multiple Infinite Chaos Sword Diagrams that bloomed like Taoist lotuses, beautiful yet filled with danger.

"Lock down the space, his rank is only that of a King of Stars, he can only utilize Level Four Laws!"

"Exactly!"

"Repel all Level Four Laws, and this kid is as good as useless!"

The nine Domain Lords joined forces, sealing the heavens and the earth, repelling all Level Four Laws. As Low Tier Domain Lords, repelling Third Tier Laws was absolutely impossible for them, but Level Four Laws were a different story; their stature was high enough to achieve that.

Chu Hao naturally recognized this shortcoming of his and, with a faint smile, he drew back rapidly, retreating from the control area of the nine Domain Lords.

If you wish to lock the heaven and earth, fine, but he was also perfectly capable of running away; he wasn't foolish.

"Come chase me," chuckled Chu Hao, releasing a blow of Infinite Chaos at the nine Domain Lords, which exploded at the boundary of the Field Domain, creating another massive spatial hole.

As the gaping hole appeared, the Field Domains of the nine Domain Lords were also pulled and absorbed, causing the locked space to destabilize immediately, with a boom, and the Level Four Laws returned.

Chu Hao was startled then laughed heartily. It turned out that the power of Infinite Chaos was already capable of breaking the Field Domain lock cast by the nine Domain Lords. He had been cautiously dodging around when in fact, he already possessed the strength to face the nine Domain Lords directly.

"Come, let's battle!" Chu Hao charged back in reverse, his fists pounding thunderously as swathes of Laws surged forth.

Every now and then, five more Level Four Laws would emerge in his Sea of Consciousness, enhancing his combat power slightly. Of course, compared to the billions of Laws he already mastered, such an increase was minuscule, but even the smallest of increments contributed to an increase, always capable of surpassing a threshold point, granting him an overwhelming advantage.

The nine Domain Lords were greatly frightened, not expecting the blockade of Laws they had jointly set up to be broken by a single strike from Chu Hao, which was indeed terrifying. But at this point, they had no reason to back down, each of them shouting loudly and advancing toward Chu Hao.

Chu Hao was fighting against nine Domain Lords alone!

This, if spoken out loud, would not be believed by anyone. A person who had just stepped into the threshold as a King of Stars was actually competing against nine Domain Lords! Even though these nine Domain Lords had also recently broken through, the oldest only for tens of thousands of years, while the youngest for mere decades, a Domain Lord was still a Domain Lord.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two sides waged a great war, with Laws raising to the heavens and the momentum immense.

More people entered this place from time to time. Upon detecting the fluctuations of the Laws, they all flew over to see what was happening, but when they saw the parties in combat, they were immediately shocked and appalled.

"That member of the Human Race is so strong, able to fight against nine on his own!"

"I can't even sense the level of these ten people's aura, could they all be Star Masters?"

"Get lost, I am a Star Master, and I can't sense their levels, how could they possibly be Star Masters?"

"Could it be the King of Stars?"

This group was not strong, either they were War Gods or Star Masters, and they only knew that Chu Hao and the nine Domain Lords were extraordinarily strong, but as to how strong exactly, they were completely unable to speculate.

However, it wasn't long before another group arrived, led by a clear-sighted elderly man with white eyebrows and beard, surrounded by two golden rings of light, exuding an astonishing pressure.

"That, that's Origin Crane Domain Lord!" someone recognized the elderly man and hurriedly greeted him with respect.

"Domain Lord!" the others cried out in surprise and quickly bowed in salutation.

Origin Crane Domain Lord paid no attention to these people, focusing only on the ten people within the battle group, exclaiming, "How is this possible? A mere King of Stars somehow fights on par with nine Domain Lords!"

Pfft, the rest of the crowd was gobsmacked. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommended vote, monthly vote, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
