Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Who are you?" Chu Hao looked over, clearly displeased.

The man in green robe stared at Chu Hao for a moment before suddenly saying, "You are Chu Hao!"

"Huh, am I that famous?" Chu Hao said with a laugh. Of course, he was just jesting. From the look in the other's eyes, he saw a strong hatred.

"I am Thousand Flowers!" the man in a green robe declared, exuding an endless chilling aura.

Thousand Flowers Domain Master!

Chu Hao, puzzled, said, "You've actually heard of my name?"

"Humph, did you think that I would be oblivious here?" the Thousand Flowers Domain Master scoffed.

Chu Hao suddenly understood. He could communicate with the outside world, and so could the other party. How could someone who cultivated to the level of a Domain Master not possess some special means? It was just that the other party had been busy treasure hunting here and had not had the time to pursue him. But it was certain that they had learned enough about his appearance and identity.

"Then let's not waste any words, come on, make your move!" Chu Hao said straightforwardly.

However, Thousand Flowers Domain Master did not act immediately. Instead, he kept his gaze on Chu Hao and said, "A hundred years ago, you were only a Star Master but managed to kill so many of my Star King-level disciples. Now you've even reached the level of a Peak Star King, quite impressive indeed."

"Afraid?" Chu Hao said indifferently with a slight smile. "I'm not one for pressing others. If you back off now, I won't hold a grudge."

"What a joke! You've killed many of my disciples, and you expect me to back off?" Thousand Flowers Domain Master scoffed coldly. "Hand over the Ice-Sealing Divine Lotus, and I will grant you a swift demise; otherwise, I will extract your Divine Soul and refine it for ten thousand years before letting you die."

"Old thing, you really are cruel!" Chu Hao felt anger rising. In the Martial Arts World, you kill me, I kill you; this was all too common. Without blood feuds, how could it be the rivers and lakes?

Yet the measures of Thousand Flowers Domain Master were too ruthless, unbecoming of a Domain Master's stature.

"Dare to insult me?" Thousand Flowers Domain Master glared with murderous intent surging.

Chu Hao looked to Linghu Ren, who was itching to try, and said, "You don't want to kill me as well, do you?"

"Haha, with someone like you around, people can't eat or sleep in peace. It's better if you die sooner, it would be a favor to everyone!" said Linghu Ren, his confidence in Thousand Flowers Domain Master apparent. Otherwise, he wouldn't challenge Chu Hao after having witnessed his combat power.

Chu Hao sneered. This Linghu Ren was one of the first to enter the secret realm, but only Domain Masters were supposed to be able to enter at that time, and even Low Tier Domain Masters had voluntarily given up, thinking it impossible to compete with High Tier Domain Masters.

Yet this guy entered as a Star King, seemingly on equal footing with Thousand Flowers Domain Master. It could be assumed that firstly, he had the Bone Demon Tower, and secondly, he was the son of a Realm Master.

He had high standards and wouldn't normally consider even Peak Domain Masters worthy of his attention. Yet, he chose to align with Thousand Flowers Domain Master, which said a lot about the situation.

Thousand Flowers Domain Master was indeed extraordinary.

Chu Hao thought for a moment. It had been Thousand Flowers Domain Master who had lured away the Snow Giant. Escaping unscathed from such a powerful being was proof that Thousand Flowers Domain Master was very strong.

He said with a cold smile, "It seems I should take your life after all!" He had refrained from acting against Linghu Ren earlier because the Snow Giant had suddenly returned, and he needed to ensure the safety of Lan Ran and the others. But now, since the other party was looking to court death, it would be a good time to finish him off.

"Hahaha, in front of Thousand Flowers Domain Master, I really don't know where you get your confidence," Linghu Ren scoffed. "Just so you know, Thousand Flowers Domain Master is already one foot into the realm of Realm Masters. You might as well resign yourself to your fate!"

One foot into the realm of Realm Masters, what kind of level was that?

Chu Hao, curious, brushed off his hands and said, "Well then, I shall experience it for myself."

"As you wish!" Thousand Flowers Domain Master sneered. His right hand reached out, transforming into a giant divine palm that smashed towards Chu Hao. Divine patterns wound around the palm, emanating terrifying pressure.

"Nearly four thousand Laws?" Chu Hao finally realized where Thousand Flowers Domain Master's confidence came from. The Domain Master had progressed far beyond the level's limits, surpassing the extreme threshold of three thousand Laws and marching toward the four thousand mark.

Even though this was not even equivalent to two Second-Level Laws, breaking through beyond the extreme threshold was an incredibly difficult task, and the improvement in combat power was also terrifying. The previous Snow Giant, imbued with over five thousand Laws, could shatter Chu Hao's Taiji Tianyuan Sword Diagram with a single roar, demonstrating the formidable power.

No wonder Linghu Ren, despite having witnessed his combat power, still dared to come and show off. He was even willing to compromise his status as the son of a Realm Master to associate with Thousand Flowers Domain Master.

Chu Hao snorted. He was confident in fighting even that Snow Giant, fearing only a direct confrontation. Was he supposed to be afraid of Thousand Flowers Domain Master?

"Then let's fight!" Chu Hao clenched his fist, launching it towards the giant divine palm. Billions of Laws erupted simultaneously, inducing the great explosion of the Five Elements.

Boom!

The giant divine palm was repelled, but Chu Hao's feet sank a little, and his figure descended. However, Laws formed into Taoist Flowers beneath his feet, resisting the sinking force, and he quickly regained his footing.

"That's all you've got?" he said coolly.

What!

Thousand Flowers Domain Master and Linghu Ren both opened their mouths wide, their silent expressions conveying their astonishment.

Four thousand Laws couldn't suppress a Star King? What kind of joke was this!

But Chu Hao was also muttering in his heart. He had condensed billions of Level Four Laws, yet he could only contend with Four Thousand Third Tier Laws—and that was through the detonation of the Five Elements from the Infinite Chaos.

The suppression by level is truly terrifying!

Previously, Chu Hao had effortlessly sent a hundred and eight Peak Domain Masters into the void and killed them, but the Thousand Flowers Domain Master, having mastered merely a thousand more laws, was able to fully resist him, all because of the higher level of the laws.

"Again!" Chu Hao counterattacked, his figure leaping forward as he threw consecutive punches. Multiple Sword Diagrams unfolded, enveloping the Thousand Flowers Domain Master.

"Not afraid of you!" The Thousand Flowers Domain Master bellowed as he exchanged blows with Chu Hao.

An old and a young, both geniuses, with the Thousand Flowers Domain Master being able to master four thousand Third Tier Laws—a testament to his achievements on the path of Taoism. It's just that the step to becoming a Realm Master was too difficult to cross; otherwise, even a single Second Level Law could overpower tens of thousands of Third Tier Laws.

Everyone was dazzled by the battle, as the Thousand Flowers Domain Master and Chu Hao were locked in an indistinguishable fight. Amidst the fiery combat, both their hair flew wildly, and the light released from their eyes alone was enough to shatter a great star, terrifying in its intensity.

Were it not for the fact that this place was a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, the release of combat power from the two Domain Masters—no, two beings surpassing Peak Domain Masters—could easily destroy a galaxy.

Battle, battle, battle, battle!

Chu Hao's roars were ceaseless. After reaching the Peak Star King, he had yet to go all-out in a battle. Countless laws were deposited in his body, which now seemed to come alive, surging within him.

The higher the realm, the harder it is to advance.

Chu Hao had completely ignored this point previously because he had a Fire Origin within him, which made him feel like a part of the great path, only needing to absorb and integrate laws. But as his realm improved, it was no longer so easy.

At least now, having reached the peak of Star King, he still hadn't seen the opportunity to break through to Domain Lord.

Perhaps this all-out battle, pushing to the utmost, might give him the enlightenment needed to break through.

A Domain Lord who has comprehended nearly four thousand laws is extremely rare—such an opponent is encountered but not sought. If Chu Hao couldn't fully push his limits this time, he estimated that his breakthrough to Domain Lord might be delayed by a thousand years.

This pace wasn't slow at all—a Domain Lord who was just over a thousand years old would terrify people, but Chu Hao wanted to return swiftly to Sky Martial Star, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He would use this adversary to carve his path to Domain Lord.

Chu Hao fought without reserve, his combat power fully ascendant. Billions of Level Four Laws circulated, driving the Infinite Chaos, unleashing a furious assault on the Thousand Flowers Domain Master.

The Thousand Flowers Domain Master was indeed extraordinary. Facing Chu Hao's attacks, he defended steadily. He didn't just focus on defense, as his left hand continuously flicked out, creating a flurry of Taoist Flowers within the ice domain.

Each Taoist Flower, condensed from Third Tier Laws, would cause Chu Hao to explode if hit.

Boom, boom, boom—the great battle raged on, icebergs detonated, and the glaciers below cracked open with crevices spider-webbing across the icy plains.

The combat of Domain Masters shook heaven and earth, attracting many to witness the battle.

"Eh, isn't that the Thousand Flowers Domain Master?"

"But who is that Human Race youth? He's clearly just a Peak Star King, so why is he so terrifyingly powerful?"

Everyone who saw the battle at first glance couldn't believe their eyes. How could such an odd thing happen, with a mere Star King actually matching a Peak Domain Master?

"Long have I heard of the extraordinary combat power of the Thousand Flowers Domain Master—indeed, he's as good as they say. Managing to comprehend nearly four thousand Third Tier Laws, within the Domain Lord Realm, there are few who can contend with him."

"But a Star King has done it!"

"This..."

Everyone was speechless at how this monstrous Star King defied the norms of martial arts.

"This Human Race has mastered Level Four Laws numbering in the billions!" A Domain Master observed, turning pale with shock, for even he had not mastered so many Level Four Laws.

"He's using quantity to make up for the difference in quality!"

"While everyone understands the principle, who can truly achieve it?"

Everyone knew that the more laws you mastered, the stronger the combat power. But the crux was, are laws that easy to master? Martial arts have no limits, but life does. If one doesn't break through to a higher realm swiftly to gain more life span, martial artists will quickly perish in their ascent.

So no one deliberately accumulates a huge number of laws. At most, you might master tens of thousands, but then your lifespan would nearly be at its end. What's the point?

Chu Hao's case was exceedingly rare.

Linghu Ren sneered. Chu Hao and the Thousand Flowers Domain Master had been fighting for more than half a month, and just as long again, his Bone Demon Tower would be available for use. Then... hehe, with a hundred and eight High Tier and Peak Domain Master avatars, wouldn't he be able to kill Chu Hao?

He wanted to perform a Soul Search to discover the secret behind Chu Hao's mastery of so many laws. With that, he too could match a Peak Domain Master!

Such a temptation was irresistible for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
