Chapter 618: The Realm Master Appears
Chu Hao fiercely battled the Thousand Flowers Domain Master, both unleashing their full combat power, clashing with incredible intensity.
For Chu Hao, this might be the opportunity he needed to break through, but for the Thousand Flowers Domain Master, it was likewise a chance for his own breakthrough.
Perhaps, after the battle escalated to its peak, he could step beyond the level of Domain Lord and become a Realm Master!
A master of a realm, ruling the skies!
At least within the several neighboring Star Domains, this was the strongest existence, and the once Great Sorrow Realm would be renamed the Thousand Flowers Realm, representing his immortal achievement that could be passed down for eons, becoming an undying legend.
Therefore, the Thousand Flowers Domain Master also held nothing back, fighting Chu Hao, using his opponent as a whetstone to carve out his own path to kingship.
The Thousand Flowers Domain Master undoubtedly had the advantage.
— Chu Hao had already reached the limit of a Star King, mastering all Level Four Laws. Without a breakthrough, there was no way for him to enhance his combat power further, but the Thousand Flowers Domain Master was different; he could continue to comprehend the Laws, reaching beyond the number of four thousand, perhaps even more.
Fortunately, the Laws were not so easily comprehended. Otherwise, if he were to master just one more Third Tier Law, Chu Hao would fall into a disadvantage, and in a evenly matched fight, one could not afford even the slightest disparity.
Before long, a month had passed.
Linghu Jia revealed a fierce smile; the Bone Demon Tower was completely restored and could be used once again.
"Die!" he called forth the Treasure Pagoda, buzz, each bone shone with light, and lines of meridian patterns seemed to come alive, writhing and releasing a terrifying pressure.
Whoosh, the Treasure Pagoda rose, spinning and enlarging, as one hundred and eight Domain Lord incarnations stepped out.
Witnessing the Treasure Pagoda's might, onlookers were shocked, questioning how such a powerful Treasure Artifact could summon so many Domain Lord incarnations. How many Domain Lords could possibly stand against such an artifact?
Chu Hao and the Thousand Flowers Domain Master were already locked in an intense battle that was difficult to separate, and now with the addition of this supreme Divine Artifact from the Domain Lord Realm, how could anyone resist?
How was Chu Hao supposed to resist?
Whiz whiz whiz, one hundred and eight Domain Lord incarnations took to the skies, attacking Chu Hao. The Power of Laws surged, morphing into various Divine Lights and weapons, entwined with two to three thousand Third Tier Laws, terrifying to behold.
The Domain Lords present were struck with horror, knowing if they were to face such an assault, their only option would be to flee.
But Chu Hao had to face not only so many Domain Lord incarnations but also the more formidable Thousand Flowers Domain Master as the primary enemy. It seemed he had no other path but defeat and death.
"Hmph!" Chu Hao's eyes blazed with Divine Light, his aura filled with murderous intent. He had missed the opportunity to eliminate Linghu Ren earlier, and now he had indeed invited trouble. If it were just the Treasure Artifact, he would have no fear and could simply repeat his previous technique, banishing the one hundred and eight Domain Lord incarnations into the void. But now with the Thousand Flowers Domain Master fiercely contesting him, he couldn't afford to be distracted.
However, this was even better!
A smile appeared on Chu Hao's lips, his fighting spirit soaring even higher, as this intense pressure gave him an even greater chance at a breakthrough.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Chu Hao let out a long howl, battling fiercely against the Thousand Flowers Domain Master and the one hundred and eight Domain Lord incarnations. Spurts of Divine Blood sprayed, carrying the Laws within them; wherever they touched, that place would collapse, unable to withstand the might of the Divine Blood.
"Today is the day you die!" the Thousand Flowers Domain Master coldly stated. Though regretful that he could not push his limits with Chu Hao's help to unlock the door to Realm Master, this Human Race being was too monstrous. Eliminating him would also get rid of a huge future threat that was too disturbing to ignore.
"You sure love to talk big," Chu Hao sneered. He was merely at a disadvantage, far from being beaten.
"A dying struggle," the Thousand Flowers Domain Master scoffed, raining down relentless punches, pressuring Chu Hao enough to prevent him from dealing with those Domain Lord incarnations and allowing them to exert their fullest utility.
Chu Hao's blood kept spattering. He had been evenly matched with the Thousand Flowers Domain Master originally, but the entry of the one hundred and eight Domain Lord incarnations completely disrupted the balance, tipping the scales unfavorably against him.
He felt he was touching some barrier, yet a thin membrane was keeping him from crossing over.
The pressure was there, but it wasn't enough.
Chu Hao fought to the death, his blood staining the sky, showing no intention of retreat.
"Haha, if you want to die that much, I'll grant your wish!" the Thousand Flowers Domain Master laughed heartily, finding the Human Race being foolish. Amid such circumstances, he still chose to fight to the death rather than flee. This was no longer about tempering oneself; it was seeking death.
He was more than happy to oblige this Human Race, to remove a potential future danger.
Chu Hao was repeatedly gravely injured, spitting blood continuously. In the end, he had no choice but to burn his Origin, reconstituting his battered body, restoring himself to peak condition.
This meant he had died once.
Chu Hao sighed in his heart, having consumed his Origin and still failing to force that breakthrough. It seemed his foundation was still not sufficient. He couldn't continue to deplete himself like this, or if he burned too much Origin in the future when attempting to reach the level of Heavenly Emperor, he might end up like the Great Emperor of the He Family, falling short at the last moment.
He spread the Wings of Space, preparing to leave, but suddenly his body trembled violently, his face revealing a bizarre expression.
Breakthrough!
It wasn't him, but the Heaven Devouring Beast incarnation.
The Heaven Devouring Beast incarnation had reached the peak of Star King more than thirty years ago, but to progress from Star King to Domain Lord required devouring an excessively large number of Spirit Qi Planets. Additionally, Chu Hao adhered to his principles, never devouring planets with life, which made the Heaven Devouring Beast incarnation's advancement all the slower.
But even slowness has an end, and just now, an avatar of the Heaven Devouring Beast entered a newly formed Star Domain filled with many lifeless Spirit Qi Planets. It devoured enough in one fell swoop to complete the final leap.
Chu Hao can now extract and use the power of Third Tier Laws.
Chu Hao laughed heartily. Although this was still not enough to confront the Thousand Flowers Domain Master and the Bone Demon Tower, it allowed him to move about freely.
Whoosh, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Linghu Ren.
"Pfft!" Linghu Ren immediately spat out in shock. How had the other party appeared? Given the joint blockade of the Thousand Flowers Domain Master and the Bone Demon Tower, Chu Hao should have been unable to extricate himself. How did he abruptly appear before him?
"First to send you on your way!" Chu Hao launched an attack, directing it toward Linghu Ren.
"How dare you, I am the son of a Realm Master, you dare harm—"
Hum!
Linghu Ren was still crying out in alarm, but Chu Hao's right hand had already pressed down. A stream of purple brilliance surged out from his body, forming a towering figure that reached out a hand and blocked Chu Hao's attack.
"Father!" Linghu Ren cried out joyfully, filled with confidence.
This was not really the Purple Embryo Realm Master, but just a Divine Sense projection of him. But Realm Masters are so powerful that just one percent of their combat power is enough to suppress all Domain Lords, let alone a Star King.
The Purple Embryo Realm Master looked at Chu Hao coldly and said, "Do you actually wish to kill my son?" This was just a Divine Sense he had left behind for emergencies, only triggered when Linghu Ren faced mortal danger.
Now that he had appeared, what did it indicate?
Such boldness, daring to kill his son!
Chu Hao glanced over, revealing a hint of a smile, and said, "It's not about wanting; I will definitely finish you off! You're just a Divine Sense after all. How long can you last? It's just a matter of sooner or later."
"Impudence!" The Purple Embryo Realm Master roared with rage. This Human actually dared to challenge him so brazenly! He reached out toward Chu Hao, a surge of purple light whirling, with dense and interlocking meridian patterns.
A Realm Master, master of Subordinate Laws, is only two steps away from the Dao itself.
Incomparably powerful!
Even though this Purple Embryo Realm Master was just a projection formed by a Divine Sense, only capable of using a Subordinate Law, he was still indescribably strong.
Chu Hao withdrew, as contending head-on would be foolish.
"Truly stupid, to erect another powerful enemy for oneself!" the Thousand Flowers Domain Master charged over. Chu Hao was already struggling against him and the Bone Demon Domain; he had actually gone so far as to provoke a Divine Sense of the Purple Embryo Domain Master into action. Wasn't this courting death?
Chu Hao sneered, "Who will kill whom is still uncertain!" He vibrated his Wings of Space, moving as swiftly as shimmering light.
Neither the Thousand Flowers Domain Master nor the Bone Demon Tower could catch up in pursuit, but the Purple Embryo Realm Master could barely match Chu Hao's high-speed chase.
Chu Hao grinned and suddenly veered, accelerating towards Linghu Ren to attack.
"You dare!" The Purple Embryo Realm Master shouted in horror, hastily trying to intercept.
But Chu Hao had initiated Teleportation, which allowed him to quickly traverse space, and in an instant, he was billions of miles away.
The Thousand Flowers Domain Master also hurriedly moved into action, leaping toward Linghu Ren, and said, "You should hide in my Star Sea."
Linghu Ren nodded frantically. As long as he could ensure his life, he would jump into anything, even a latrine pit.
"Can you hide?" Chu Hao accelerated.
The Thousand Flowers Domain Master also desperately ran toward Linghu Ren, the Bone Demon Tower quickly returning and directing the Domain Lord avatars to fall upon Linghu Ren. However, none could match Chu Hao's speed.
Because he had advanced even further and extracted the power of Third Tier Space Laws.
Whoosh, he appeared in front of Linghu Ren and launched a punch. Hum, the Infinite Chaos Sword Technique erupted, tearing apart the void, directly blasting Linghu Ren into fragments, and then devouring him into the void.
A Star King can indeed resurrect many times, but being blasted into the void meant probably being instantly shredded upon revival, tantamount to a death sentence.
"No—" The Purple Embryo Realm Master, witnessing this, let out a thunderous roar.
He directly ripped open the void and cast himself into it, intending to find his son and rescue him.
Indeed formidable, daring to breach even the void.
With the Bone Demon Tower losing control, the one hundred and eight Domain Lord avatars quickly returned to the Tower body, and the light emitted by this Treasure Artifact began to recede, shrinking continuously.
Thousand Flowers Domain Master grit his teeth and turned to chase after the Bone Demon Tower. He was determined to get the Tower in his hands, control it personally, and together suppress Chu Hao.
"Is that possible?" Chu Hao sneered and likewise leaped after the Bone Demon Tower, in pursuit. (To be continued.
