Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Short partings are better than a new marriage.

Chu Hao's separation from Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng wasn't a brief one, but over a century long. If they were mortals, such a length of time would be enough to span an entire lifetime. Luckily, none of the three were ordinary beings.

They stayed in the room for a full seven days, and if it weren't for Luo Qingyan's sudden return on the eighth day disturbing the lovebirds, it's likely the trio could have continued their intimate entanglement.

Both Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng were radiant, whereas Chu Hao, despite being strong enough to rival a Realm Master, leaned on the walls to walk, looking utterly drained.

It was over a century's worth of conjugal dues.

"Chu Hao! Chu Hao!" Luo Qingyan screamed as she rushed over, grabbing Chu Hao's hand, and began shaking it, "A huge problem has arisen! Another huge problem!"

Chu Hao sighed and said, "Now I really dread seeing you, because every time you show up, it's never good news! Alright, which son of a Star King has taken a fancy to you this time and ended up being crippled by you?"

"No, no, no, it's something much bigger this time!" Luo Qingyan called out.

"It's not a Realm Master, is it?"

Luo Qingyan rolled her eyes and said, "How many Realm Masters do you think there are under the heavens? You're thinking too much! This time it's a Domain Lord."

If it were a Domain Lord, there would be absolutely no problem. Chu Hao didn't believe there was a second person aside from himself who could stand against a Realm Master while being a Domain Lord. He nodded and said, "Good, no trouble then. At least get off me first."

Only then did Luo Qingyan realize that in her excitement, she had actually climbed onto Chu Hao's back. She gave an embarrassed laugh, hopped down to the floor, patted Chu Hao on the shoulder, and said, "Having not seen you for over a century, your talent for joke-telling has improved. You're even not afraid of a Domain Lord now?"

Chu Hao laughed heartily and said, "Never mind a Domain Lord, even if a Low Tier Realm Master were to come, I can make him back off. Do you believe that?"

"Believe you? No chance!" Luo Qingyan obviously didn't believe him.

"Spill it, what kind of trouble have you gotten into this time!" Chu Hao had some understanding now as to why this woman, despite having infinite life, still had to be sealed and enter a state of slumber; because she was too prone to getting into trouble. Without a powerful figure looking out for her, she was the type to walk herself into a dead end.

Luo Qingyan harrumphed and said, "Am I the type that loves to stir up trouble? This time, I purposefully disguised myself as a man to prevent attracting unwanted attention—I must say, I look unbelievably dashing as a man, way better than you, infinitely so. I even fell for myself."

"Can you stop being so narcissistic?" Chu Hao sighed.

Luo Qingyan laughed before continuing, "So, I went to a Star Domain, took in the sights, experienced various cultures and people, and that was all quite enjoyable. Unexpectedly, I ran into a beautiful girl during one of my trips."

"A fateful entanglement indeed. This beauty actually fell for me. And it's partly my fault; I didn't clarify things at the start and even wanted to tease her a bit. In the end, she fell head over heels, and I got caught in my own trap."

Though she said this, her face was clearly filled with self-satisfaction, obviously pleased with her attractiveness even after disguising herself as a man.

"Afterward, I finally came clean, and result… I got chased again. That beauty turned out to be a Domain Lord's daughter." However, her expression quickly soured, "Hao, we better move quickly."

"Move your ghost!" Chu Hao brought a hand to his forehead, this woman really was a trouble magnet, "You didn't lead her here by running back, did you?"

"Hehe." Luo Qingyan laughed sheepishly, "I wanted to seek refuge at the Ancient Academy, but I was afraid you'd be here again, so I thought I'd check first. Sure enough, my intuition was spot on."

"Luo!" Just then, a plaintive, yet incredibly melodious voice came from outside, one that could stir hearts.

"Not good, she's followed me here!" Luo Qingyan's face paled, "How could she be so quick!"

Chu Hao swept out with his divine sense and said, "What are you afraid of? Only one person has come, and she didn't bring her Domain Lord father with her."

Luo Qingyan gave him an eye roll and said, "And you're still in the mood for jokes?"

"It's not my mess, why would I be scared?" Chu Hao chuckled, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, don't let your little lover wait too long."

"To hell with 'your little lover'!" Luo Qingyan was fuming.

As the two of them stepped out, they saw a woman in a fluttering red dress descending gracefully from the sky. She was so gorgeous that onlookers couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for her. She looked longingly at Luo Qingyan, unfazed by the latter's change into female attire.

Chu Hao suddenly felt a sense of melodrama. Was such a beauty seriously going to be bent out of shape like this?

"Luo!" The woman called out passionately.

Luo Qingyan shivered and said, "Tianyin, I am a woman, and you know that now. Why can't you give up?"

The woman, surnamed Wu and named Tianyin, remained unmoved and said, "Luo, if you were to become a man, would you then become my life partner?"

Luo Qingyan's eyes flickered as she said, "Yes! It's a shame that the heavens made a mistake with my body. Tianyin, we're fated to meet but not meant to be together. You should just forget about me!" She feigned sorrow on her face, turning her head away, but the corners of her mouth curled up into a small smile, thoroughly impressed with her own acting skills.

"Luo, I knew you loved me!" Wu Tianyin revealed a joyful expression, stretched out her right hand, and a black fruit appeared in her grasp. "I've gone to great lengths to get the Chaos Yin-Yang Fruit. After you consume it, you can transform into a man, and we can be together for all eternity!"

Pfft!

Chu Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing, but he quickly suppressed it, coughing continuously, barely keeping it together. Now, he was curious to see how Luo Qingyan would get out of this.

Luo Qingyan was also dumbfounded. She never imagined that such a Spirit Fruit would exist in the world. This wasn't any Spirit Fruit— it was a freakish fruit that should never have existed! Her pretty face twitched as she said, "Tianyin, this is all a big misunderstanding. Actually, I already have someone I like!"

"Who?" Wu Tianyin raised her eyebrows, a chilling murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Chu Hao immediately felt an ominous premonition and wanted to turn around and leave, but before he could move, his arm was already grabbed. Luo Qingyan was holding onto him tightly, saying, "Him! He's my beloved, mmm, I love you so much!"

Chu Hao couldn't help feeling nauseated, he couldn't take it, he was about to throw up!

Luo Qingyan's eyes shone with a sword-like killing intent, and she cursed inwardly, am I that bad that you show a disgusted face just by pretending to be my lover?

Wu Tianyin looked at Chu Hao, her eyes dancing with murderous intent, and asked, "Human, are you really Luo's lover?"

How awkward, he's not even gay!

Chu Hao wanted to shake his head, but Luo Qingyan's foot had already stepped over, and her fingers were pinching the flesh of his arm, leaving him no choice but to sigh and nod, saying, "Indeed."

"That was the wrong answer!" Wu Tianyin said coldly, "So, you must die!"

Chu Hao shrugged and said, "Why bother? Love is unpredictable and confusing. Everyone has their own fate. Even if Qingyan were a man, once she has a lover, it's not your place to interfere. To truly love someone is to wish for their happiness. That's the greatest joy. You should bless them silently, and we can all be friends. Why ruin the relationship...ugh, I really can't make this up anymore!"

"Seeking death!" Wu Tianyin's black hair stood on end, and with a boom, her body emitted a terrifying aura. Endless darkness overflowed from within her, spreading across the entire sky like a spider's web, enveloping the whole Guangyuan Continent.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, Yin Yuanhua, She Taiyun, Yue Wu Jian, and other Star Masters all flew over. Seeing the aura emitted by Wu Tianyin, they all showed a look of shock.

"Is this the King of Stars?"

"No... even stronger than the King of Stars!"

"A Domain Lord!"

They all exclaimed, as the darkness was filled with Third Tier Laws, and there were at least two thousand intertwined, signifying a High Tier Domain Lord. Who would have thought that a small place like the Red River Galaxy would be graced by a Domain Lord?

Even Chu Hao looked up at the sky, his expression unchanged. He had already slain a Realm Master; how could a mere Domain Lord be of any concern? He said, "Great Witch, it seems it's not that you deceived her, but she deceived you!"

"She's not the descendant of a Domain Lord,"

he continued, "She's the Domain Lord of that Star Domain!"

Luo Qingyan was shocked. How could such a powerful entity fail to see through her disguise?

"No wonder, just as you arrived, she followed. You've never escaped her control!" Chu Hao added, "You think you're clever and irresistibly charming, but you didn't realize she's been toying with you all along."

Luo Qingyan was so furious she started hollering, cursing how detestable, even more so than Chu Hao!

"Human, do you still want to outsmart everyone?" Wu Tianyin's hair flew wildly, extending infinitely to envelope the heavens and the earth like a cage. "You're merely a Low Tier Domain Lord. To kill you would be as easy as reaching into a bag to grab something!"

What, Chu Hao became a Domain Lord?

Luo Qingyan, Yue Wu Jian, Yin Yuanhua, and others were so shocked they were rendered speechless. When Chu Hao had last returned, he had only just stepped into the realm of a Star Master, but in just over a hundred years, he had become a Domain Lord?

What terrifying speed of cultivation!

Yet, being Domain Lords in themselves, one was High Tier and the other Low Tier, there's no comparison.

A Low Tier Domain Lord could easily escape, for unless they were masters of Space Law, there's hardly any difference in speed between Low Tier and High Tier Domain Lords. But if it came to a direct confrontation, it's certain to be a one-sided affair.

Chu Hao smiled faintly, "I don't know why you're playing such a game, nor do I care if you're a freak. Now, get lost, immediately, or you'll be soul shattered here."

"Hahaha, what arrogance!" Wu Tianyin laughed coldly. "The Great Sorrow Realm hasn't produced a Realm Master in a hundred billion years. Who here has the power to suppress me? Human, if you don't want to die miserably, then scram. This is your last chance!" (To be continued.
