Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Cough, cough, young man, this isn't a place you should come to," Steward Yang said with the appearance of an old, decaying dragon.

He indeed didn't have many years left to live, both mentally and physically, he had reached the end of his life's journey, with vital energies declining and combat power that actually no longer matched his realm.

However decrepit he was, he was still a Tenth Tier Star Master, who could crush a War God with just his hand.

"Why can't I come!" Chu Niancheng said resoundingly, "I've come here today to snatch a bride!"

Now that he had the support of his biological father, he was naturally fearless and ready to go all in.

"Snatch, snatch a bride?"

"Has this guy lost his mind? A mere War God actually dares to come to the Domain Lord's estate to snatch a bride; he simply does not know how to write the word 'death'!"

"But did you notice that this kid is at most a couple hundred years old, yet he's already a Tenth Tier War God, that talent is somewhat astounding."

"Psh, no matter how astounding, he can only die here today."

"It's truly unimaginable, how can this member of the Human Race be so foolish!"

In the hall, many people shook their heads, some were shocked by Chu Niancheng's martial arts talent, others mocked him for courting death, and some were just pure onlookers enjoying the show.

"Snatching a bride?" Steward Yang also laughed, well then, let's use this kid to entertain everyone, who could believe that a War God could turn the heavens upside down? He said, "With what will you snatch (the bride)?"

"With my hands, of course!" Chu Niancheng snorted coldly, "Old man, come at me, and see how I'll smash you!"

Steward Yang chuckled, hunching his body forward as he walked, but his steps shone with brilliance, with the Laws flickering, and Five-level Laws dazzlingly emanating light.

A Star Master against a War God, that's an absolute crushing.

"Huh?" Domain Master Qiantian looked at Chu Niancheng with a trace of doubt in his eyes; why did this man's face seem familiar again? He definitely had seen him somewhere! How strange, first it was that woman, now this man, why did they both give him a feeling of mysterious familiarity?

"Kid, if you can withstand three moves from this old man, I will make a decision in private and let you leave," Steward Yang said with a smile, looking quite benevolent, but anyone who knew him would shake their heads, for this man was known as "Ghost-faced Snake," the brighter his smile, the more venomous his strike.

Three moves?

Which War God could withstand three moves from a Star Master? Wasn't this clearly mocking him?

"Don't talk about three moves, I can take three hundred!" Chu Niancheng declared boldly, in his mind, Chu Hao would definitely secretly lend him a hand. He patted his chest and said, "Bring it on, and see how I'll deal with you!"

Steward Yang got somewhat angry, although the other party was just a War God, he was too audacious, and each instance of "young master" was particularly grating to his ears. He reached out his right hand toward Chu Niancheng and said faintly, "First move!"

A buzz, and the Laws formed a gigantic cyan hand that reached out for Chu Niancheng.

But a bizarre scene occurred, when this giant hand reached within thirty feet of Chu Niancheng, the Laws began to shatter, losing the support of the Laws, the cyan hand was reduced to mere Star Force.

Chu Niancheng laughed heartily, meeting it with a punch, wrapped in shards of Five-level Laws, its brilliance astonishing.

Bang!

The cyan hand was immediately dispersed with one blow.

What just happened?

"Could this youth be Steward Yang's illegitimate son, deliberately going easy?"

"Exactly, the Laws actually shattered, so what if he's a Star Master? It's just that the Star Force is stronger, but it might not have the upper hand against a War God."

"That's right, starting with a War God, we cultivate the Laws, the height of the Laws determines our combat power. Without the Laws, can a Star Master still be called a Star Master?"

"There's something fishy!"

Everyone in the hall was disbelieving that Chu Niancheng had the ability to shatter Steward Yang's Laws; no matter how you looked at it, it was impossible. Could a War God do such a thing? Thus, the only possibility was that Steward Yang was deliberately holding back.

Even the old ancestor of the Feng Family had some doubts, but remembering Steward Yang's undying loyalty to him, he forcibly suppressed the urge to question and his face darkened.

And of course, the most shocked was Steward Yang himself; he knew better than anyone that he had not held back.

So why had the Laws suddenly disappeared?

Chu Niancheng's confidence surged, he hooked his finger and said, "Old man, come again!"

Steward Yang snorted and launched the second move, still transforming into a cyan hand that reached for Chu Niancheng. He didn't believe in this evil, one must rise where one falls.

The eerie event occurred once more when this palm came within thirty feet of Chu Niancheng, the Light of Laws disappeared again.

Chu Niancheng laughed loudly, his figure dashed forward, and bang, bang, bang, with several punches he crumbled the cyan hand. Dusting off his hands, he smiled and said, "Old man, you have one move left."

Now, everyone no longer had any doubts; Steward Yang was holding back.

"Yang, don't let the guests witness a farce!" the Feng Family's patriarch said coldly, extremely displeased.

In his eyes, the War God was just a joke, but the joke had dragged on for too long, and even he was starting to look like a laughing stock, which was not funny at all.

Steward Yang felt a chill in his heart, knowing that his master was extremely dissatisfied. Without hesitation, and without wondering why, boom, an endless surge of Laws erupted from his body, transforming into three thousand long swords, each wrapped with Level Five Laws.

This was his understanding of the Laws, now fully unleashed, his strongest attack.

Boom, the three thousand long swords hurtled towards Chu Niancheng.

Crack crack crack crack, things got even worse, for when the Swords of Laws reached Chu Niancheng, they automatically disintegrated, like a meteor shower raining down, dazzlingly spectacular.

Was he holding back again?

Everyone was perplexed, wondering just how much Steward Yang was favoring Chu Niancheng to be holding back in front of a Domain Lord. Did he have a death wish?

"Hmph!" the Feng Family patriarch huffed heavily, stating coldly, "Yang, you have truly disappointed me."

Steward Yang's body quivered. He truly hadn't held back, but even he couldn't explain the strange disappearance of the Laws, so how could he explain to his old master?

"Ancestor, this servant truly held nothing back, that boy is just too odd. The attack Laws dissipate on their own," Steward Yang was almost in tears, he really hadn't held back at all.

"Lord Feng, please allow this old man to take action," a Star King stepped forward. Originally he was on the same level as the Feng Family patriarch, but now there was a chasm-like gap between them.

The Feng Family patriarch nodded. Was he really expected to personally deal with a mere War God? He said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Lin."

The Star King, surnamed Lin, had only Third Tier cultivation. Otherwise, if he were at the Ninth or Tenth Tier, he would probably hold back due to his status and not volunteer to fight. Of course, this was also to flatter the Feng Family patriarch.

The Lin Family Star King stepped forward. The hall did not allow for much movement, so he simply flicked a finger, which became a streak of sword light aiming at Chu Niancheng.

Pfft, as the sword light entered within thirty feet of Chu Niancheng, it suddenly vanished, leaving no trace of the Laws.

"What!"

Everyone exclaimed in shock. Perhaps Steward Yang had private dealings with Chu Niancheng and was blatantly holding back, since his lifespan was nearing its end, but it wouldn't be the same case for the Lin Family Star King. He had one-third of his lifespan left, several hundred thousand years, so why would he want to die?

This meant the Human Race youth was indeed peculiar.

But Steward Yang was immensely relieved; he was vindicated. He couldn't help but kneel before the Feng Family patriarch, crying out, "Ancestor, this servant has been wronged!"

The Feng Family patriarch snorted. He now understood that Steward Yang hadn't been holding back earlier, but had encountered a bizarre phenomenon that was hard to explain. However, he had no interest in consoling Steward Yang as he was fixated on Chu Niancheng, extremely curious about his odd abilities.

"Hiss, could this be the legendary Laws Immune Body?"

"Indeed, the child of nature in legends, in harmony with the Dao, supposedly untouchable by any Laws."

"No, that's not right. If it were a Laws Immune Body, it would also repel the Laws inherently. It would be impossible to comprehend the Laws, and he could only cultivate up to the War Emperor at most."

"Hmm, the Laws Immune Body is not a favored child of nature, but rather its forsaken one. Unable to pursue Enlightenment, they can only reach the cultivation of a War Emperor. Instead of being harmed by the Laws, they could simply be crushed by sheer force."

The crowd discussed fervently, expressing polarized opinions about the Laws Immune Body.

The Lin Family Star King showed a trace of difficulty on his face, feeling as if his attempt at flattery had pushed him into a pit of fire. But facing a mere War God, could he really forfeit the fight? Wouldn't he become the joke of the world?

He let out a loud shout and charged at Chu Niancheng, throwing a punch powered by the Star King's might. He outright discarded the use of Laws, as they were useless anyway.

Chu Niancheng swung his fist to meet the attack, his fist enveloped in the Laws, shining with dazzling brilliance.

Boom boom boom, the two engaged in fierce combat.

In terms of strength, the Lin Family Star King was naturally overwhelming, but as one advanced beyond the War God, the role strength played in combat power lessened. So even though the Lin Family Star King outclassed Chu Niancheng by two entire realms, without the power of Laws, he couldn't suppress a War God.

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Who could believe that a mere War God could possibly exchange blows evenly with a Star King?

They felt their entire worldview shattering.

The Lin Family Star King tried to activate his Laws, only to find in horror that there were no Laws to call upon; Level Four Laws wouldn't work, Level Five Laws wouldn't work, and surprisingly, fragments of Level Five Laws could still be touched!

He suddenly realized, around Chu Niancheng's space, all Level Four and Level Five Laws were repelled, leaving only the fragments of Level Five Laws—the existence of Third Tier Laws was beyond his perception since he was just a Star King.

Hence, he was unable to use the Laws, but Chu Niancheng could.

Therefore, he too would use the fragments of Level Five Laws. With his superior strength and the fragments of Level Five Laws, he believed suppressing Chu Niancheng would be quite simple.

But his face twisted in pain; he changed color.

Dammit, there were only fragments of Fire Series Laws here! And he was a cultivator of the Wood Series, which still rendered him utterly useless! (To be continued.
