Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Lan Ran and Zhi Qishui were both terrified.

Chu Hao was very strong; they all knew this. A hundred years ago, he had single-handedly slain several Domain Lords. However, the problem now was that the Treasure Artifact summoned by their opponent had called forth more than a hundred High Tier Domain Lords, even including Peak Domain Lords. How could they contend with that?

Just one of them was enough to defeat Chu Hao, let alone over a hundred.

"Hmph, dare to compete with me for treasures, this is the price!" the man snorted coldly, as countless Lights of Laws rained down—it was those one hundred and eight incarnations of Domain Lords, pressing down towards Chu Hao.

If gods block, kill the gods; if Buddhas block, kill the Buddhas—so powerful as to be unrivaled!

Chu Hao felt emotional within. Had he met this person a hundred years ago, he might have only been able to escape using the Space Law, but now he was fearless because he had reached the peak of Star King and could slay even Peak Domain Lords.

"Oh, don't speak too confidently," he said with a faint smile, spreading his right hand, a Sword Diagram opened, protecting him in front.

"Hahaha, it really makes me laugh, a mere Star King also dares to be so arrogant. I really don't know where you get your courage from!" the man scoffed, driving the one hundred and eight Domain Lords to attack Chu Hao.

Boom, boom, boom—the numerous attacks bombarded the Sword Diagram, flashing out astonishing Lights of Laws, but the Sword Diagram remained immovable, firm as the great Dao of heaven and earth, unshakable.

"Pfft!"

All the onlookers spurted in shock. One hundred and eight High Tier Domain Lords joined in the bombardment, and yet they still couldn't break through Chu Hao's defense? This fellow had grown stronger, and his progress far exceeded their imagination!

Thinking about themselves, they had indeed made great progress over the past hundred years, having understood at least two or three more Laws, but compared to Chu Hao?

Forget it, it's better not to compare, to spare oneself the unhappiness.

"What! What! What!" the man was also in disbelief. Could it be that he had misjudged, and that the opponent was not a Star King but actually a Domain Lord? Or was it that he hadn't used the right method and failed to unleash the true power of the Bone Demon Tower?

Chu Hao frowned slightly. These one hundred and eight Domain Lord incarnations, though not physical entities, could employ various attributes of Third Tier Laws, and their sheer number could easily exceed two to three thousand, very dominating indeed.

Although he could contend against them, it was somewhat strenuous, being up against one hundred and eight Peak or near-Peak Domain Lords.

"Just a Divine Artifact and you think you can overturn the heavens?" Chu Hao's gaze sharpened, and with a long howl, he turned and charged towards the Bone Demon Tower.

Boom!

He unleashed Infinite Chaos, immediately tearing apart the void, and with a whoosh, several Domain Lord incarnations were sucked in. These incarnations, although extremely powerful, were not real humans and thus lacked intelligence.

"I want to see how many incarnations you can summon," Chu Hao bombarded continuously,

tearing open the void again and again, more and more Domain Lord incarnations being devoured, while the Bone Demon Tower failed to summon more Domain Lord incarnations.

Kidding me, did they really think Domain Lords grew on trees!

This Bone Demon Tower, cast from the skeletons of one hundred and eight powerful beings, could only summon one hundred and eight Domain Lords within a certain period of time, equivalent to the original strength of those Domain Lords when they were alive.

It was powerful enough to almost sweep through the level of Domain Lords, unless the opposing Domain Lords were numerous enough, or similarly possessed such a terrifying Divine Artifact to counter it.

That man thought, simply by unleashing its highest might to slay Chu Hao would be a mere blink of an eye, not even draining the Bone Demon Tower's mana.

Who would have thought, this human was so strong.

A Divine Artifact after all is just a Divine Artifact, not a real life form, how could it possess intelligence? It was continuously torn open by Chu Hao, throwing one Domain Lord incarnation after another inside. Clearly, they would run out of power inside and dissipate on their own, and correspondingly, the Bone Demon Tower wouldn't be able to exert its power for a very long time.

The man was stupefied; such a powerful Divine Artifact was cracked so simply?

Chu Hao howled, launching a fierce attack on the Bone Demon Tower itself, intending to completely destroy this Divine Artifact!

Boom, boom, boom—after hundreds of attacks, the Bone Demon Tower was tottering, becoming dim and dull.

The man was greatly alarmed and hurriedly retracted the Bone Demon Tower, which was an incredibly precious artifact. After all, the tower body was forged from the skeletons of one hundred and eight High Tier or even Peak Domain Lords. Collecting the "materials" alone took a million years, let alone the forging.

"To vie for treasures, I can understand, but if you want to kill me, it seems I have no choice but to slay you in return!" Chu Hao said coldly.

"You dare!" the man was initially stunned, then immediately bellowed, "Do you know who I am?"

Chu Hao sighed, saying, "Oh, it's that familiar tone again, the typical one of bringing out the backer to frighten when you cannot win! Alright, I will humbly listen, who are you supposed to be?"

"I am Linghu Ren, my father is the Purple Embryo Realm Master!" the man declared proudly.

Realm Master!

Hearing these two words, Lan Ran and the others were all greatly shocked, nearly fainting with fear.

At least ten billion years ago, the hundreds of Star Domains had a unified name, called the Heavenly Sorrow World, named after the title of the Realm Master who founded the Ancient Academy.

However, after the Heavenly Sorrow Realm Master ascended to the Tao, the Heavenly Sorrow World became a divided land, with no second Realm Master emerging to unite it.

Ten billion years, and still no Realm Master has emerged, indicating the difficulty of the task.

Yet now, a son of a Realm Master has appeared!

No one doubted Linghu Ren's words, because his Divine Artifact was so powerful that no Domain Lord could have forged it—it could only have come from the hand of a Realm Master.

A living Realm Master!

It was terrifying.

Chu Hao, however, was unfazed and said, "You wished to kill me, but failing that, you now seek to escape by invoking your background? How could there be such good fortune!"

Linghu Ren was stunned, then leapt up and said, "Which of your ears is malfunctioning? I am the son of a Realm Master! A trace of my father's Divine Sense is on me. Not to mention whether you can injure me, even if you could, my father would sense it. Then, how could you escape anywhere in this vast world?"

"No need to run; I'll just wait here!" Chu Hao declared loudly, for once he stepped into the ranks of the Domain Lords, he would be able to battle a Realm Master and at least have the capacity to protect himself.

"Taoist Brother Chu, perhaps it's best to let it go!" Lan Ran and others advised. After all, Chu Hao had a great potential for further development. There was no need to offend a Realm Master at this time. Given a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, he might become the new Realm Master of the Heavenly Sorrow World.

Chu Hao shook his head, his aura murderous, and said, "Even if I am willing to let him go, he will surely urge the Purple Embryo Realm Master to kill me the moment he returns!"

Everyone thought about it, and indeed it was true.

Chu Hao was too formidable. Being only a Star King, yet able to demolish the Bone Demon Tower, a super Divine Artifact—if given a few hundred years to develop, wouldn't he be capable of slaying even a High-Tier Realm Master?

If there had been no grudges, it might have been fine, but since Linghu Ren had tried to kill Chu Hao, how could any powerful being tolerate such hatred?

The Purple Embryo Realm Master, for his son's sake, would certainly try to kill Chu Hao before he grew stronger; otherwise, he would become a great future menace.

"I swear I will not seek revenge!" Linghu Ren hurriedly said, for he was the son of a Realm Master, entitled to traverse the Star Universe and enjoy freedom; he definitely did not want to die here! "Indeed, I came here before you. There were two of us; one lured away the guardian monster of this place. Then I took the opportunity to seize the Divine Lotus."

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's the case, why were you behind me then?"

Linghu Ren forced a smile and said, "That creature is very cunning. If I hadn't stayed far away, it wouldn't have fallen for the old trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Even your Divine Artifact couldn't suppress it?" Chu Hao was somewhat surprised.

"That monster is an oddity. Although only a Domain Lord, it possesses over five thousand Third-Tier Laws. Only a Realm Master could suppress it," Linghu Ren said dejectedly.

Mastering three thousand laws, a Martial Artist could advance forward. You should know that even the most basic Realm Master is more formidable than the most powerful Domain Lord. However, this step is extremely difficult to take, so a Domain Lord at their peak would cultivate additional Laws, thereby enhancing their combat power and mastering several Second-Level Laws simultaneously during a breakthrough.

Boom, boom, boom—a sudden loud noise came from afar.

"Not good, that monster has returned. Run! Run!" Linghu Ren shouted urgently.

The monsters here were formed by Laws, unconcerned with his status as a Realm Master's son—let alone that of a Realm Master, even a Great Emperor's or Heavenly Emperor's sons were useless here!

Chu Hao's gaze was intense as he saw a snowman, a thousand feet tall, covered in Meridian Patterns and emanating a dark luster. From afar, it resembled a giant demon from the Ancient Times, terrifyingly formidable. He turned and grabbed Lan Ran and the others, opened his Wings of Space, and in an instant, flew tens of thousands of miles away.

Since the Ice-Sealing Divine Lotus has been secured, there was absolutely no need to confront this snow monster head-on. He was here to search for the Origin of Water, not to fight monsters.

"Roar!" Upon discovering the mountain destroyed and the Divine Lotus stolen, the snowman let out an angry roar. The sound waves spread and solidified, entwined with Third-Tier Laws, densely packed and incredibly terrifying.

Chu Hao raised his hand and struck a Taiji Tianyuan, constructing a defense in front of him.

Boom, the sound waves struck, colliding with his Sword Diagram.

Crack, crack, crack—numerous cracks appeared on the Sword Diagram, resembling a porcelain piece, and it shattered in an instant.

Chu Hao hastily raised his hand again and sent out another Sword Diagram, finally managing to block this sound wave, while Lan Ran and the others turned pale with fright. Without Chu Hao's intervention, they would have been shattered by this sound wave.

Indeed very strong.

Chu Hao thought to himself, just a sound wave was enough to shatter the defense of the Taiji Tianyuan; if it came to a direct clash, he might not necessarily be the match for this snowman. It was no wonder, as he himself relied on accumulating countless Laws to possess combat power that transcended his realm, why couldn't his opponent do the same?

He mastered only Fourth-Tier laws, and his opponent, Third-Tier, which represented a natural difference in quality.

"Let's go!" Chu Hao once again fled, covering tens of thousands of miles.

"Your Excellency!" But no sooner had he stopped than Linghu Ren and an old man dressed in a green robe, emitting the pressure of a High-Tier Domain Lord, quickly followed. "Hand over the Ice-Sealing Divine Lotus!" he demanded coldly.
