Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Great Emperor's progeny!

This was a truly astonishing identity, for how few Great Emperors were there in the entire world?

Unfortunately, the Great Emperor of the He Family had died too early, otherwise the He Family would definitely have been one of the most powerful clans in the universe.

Chu Hao gave a faint smile and said, "Don't try to pressure me with this; we are all descendants of Great Emperors, so how can there be any difference in rank? Go and call the Family Head, I want to have a chat with him."

The Star Master was almost infuriated to death. A chat? Who did you think the Family Head was that you could just chat if you wanted to?

"Reveal the whereabouts of the Great Emperor's treasure, and perhaps the Family Head himself will come forward and reward you!" he said, emphasizing the key point of getting the information about the treasure.

Chu Hao shook his head and replied, "Never mind, I'll ask him to come out myself!"

"How audacious!" Finally unable to restrain himself, the Star Master leapt forward, reaching out to grab Chu Hao. He was fully serious, his hand entwined with Five-level Laws, raising a sea of flames.

All members of the He Family practiced the Fire Series Laws because the Great Emperor of the He Family had obtained the Fire Origin. Under the bloodline inheritance, each descendant was naturally inclined towards fire, though not as exaggeratedly as Chu Hao.

From this, it could be said that the Fire Origin Chu Hao obtained was not even half; a tiny fraction had dispersed into the bloodlines of all the He Family's descendants.

Boom, the giant hand pressed down, but Chu Hao did not dodge or flinch.

In everyone's eyes, this meant Chu Hao was scared silly, having forgotten even to dodge.

No wonder they thought this way; since their arrival on Sky Martial Star, they had really not encountered any respectable experts. At most, the War God, and even then, it was the kind that was exhausted, not far from death, capable of unleashing at most one or two tenths of their combat power.

Chu Hao had emerged from this land; what exceptional qualities could he have? In less than two hundred years, he had at most reached a Middle Tier War God.

Thump, the palm struck and tightly captured Chu Hao.

"Hahahaha!" The Star Master laughed loudly, thinking, within his grasp, what could you still stir up, "Boy, in consideration of our shared lineage, I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the Great Emperor's treasure, or I'll search your soul!"

Chu Hao's gaze turned icy; suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the clear sky, frightening everyone as it was unexpected to see lightning in broad daylight.

Boom, the Star Force Giant Hand immediately shattered, and the Star Master was left covering his hand and screaming in agony. That giant hand was a manifestation of his, and now that it had been shattered, he too suffered the backlash, pain piercing into his bones and soul.

"Heh, so it turns out you are a kinsman." A light chuckle came forth, and a tall, handsome man with a face of crown jade, who was maddeningly handsome, stepped forward.

"Family Head!" All the members of the He Family bowed deeply.

Chu Hao looked at the man and asked, "What shall I call you?"

"How dare you!" Many immediately scolded, outraged by his way of addressing the Family Head.

Yet the man simply pressed his hand down, his face showing no anger but a smile instead, and said, "He Qian."

"I see no humility in you; you are really letting down the Great Emperor's expectations." Chu Hao said.

The crowd from the He Family glared angrily at Chu Hao; this young man was truly audacious.

Yet He Qian just laughed and said, "I never expected that among my family's descendants there would be such an outstanding figure! Back in the day, only the fourth brother's lineage did not leave the Ancestral Star; you must be his descendant."

"I don't dare assume," Chu Hao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Family Head, are you also going to extract my soul to see what's inside?"

He Qian waved his hand and said, "As descendants of the same He Family, I, being the Family Head, would disgrace myself if I were to harm my own kinsmen in such a manner. Come, let's sit in the main hall. There must be more than just you from the fourth brother's lineage, right?"

"Indeed, there are more." Chu Hao nodded, "When the heavens opened, they all went to a faraway continent through the Teleportation Array."

"I know, that was arranged by my father towards the end of his life, hoping to leave a way out for Sky Martial Star. However, father failed in his attempt to become Heavenly Emperor, which affected the entire planet. I thought the Teleportation Array was also destroyed," He Qian said, pausing and shaking his head, "But since father had set it up, how could it be so easily destroyed... I thought too simplistically."

Chu Hao thought to himself that indeed the Great Emperor of He Family's attempt to become the Heavenly Emperor had failed, and the impact was huge. In fact, the Teleportation Array was indeed damaged, but fortunately, it was repairable, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to leave either.

About this, he didn't wish to elaborate, simply chatting casually with the other party without focus.

Upon arriving in the hall, He Qian had Chu Hao sit down and held a grand welcome banquet for him, with all the major figures of the clan in attendance, the standards extremely high.

He Qian raised his glass, stood up, and smiled, "Fellow clanspeople, many might not say it out loud, but must be wondering why such a grand banquet is held for a family member."

"Hehe, first, Chu Hao is the descendant of the fourth brother left on the Ancestral Star, representing the present fourth lineage, and he deserves this recognition!"

"Secondly... he is a Domain Lord!"

Pff!

Suddenly, many spit out their drinks, and in various flamboyant manners, some spewing from their mouths with continual coughing, others from their noses turning into two long dragons, and some even roughly spat onto someone else's face, causing extreme embarrassment.

Domain Lord!

Under these stars, a Heavenly Emperor was merely a legend, and while Great Emperors also did not manifest, a Realm Master could dominate. But Realm Master, Realm Master, only one Realm Master per realm, the appearance of two either meant a fight, or one had to leave.

Indeed, two tigers cannot share one mountain.

Isn't the Domain Lord impressive?

Even the mighty Family Head, a direct descendant of the Great Emperor, is only a High Tier Domain Lord, perhaps just a hair's breadth or perhaps a world away from becoming a Realm Master.

This person is also a Domain Lord?

Hiss, impossible, right?

Previously, Sky Martial Star was sealed by a great array, and the highest one could cultivate here was to War God. He left Sky Martial Star just over a hundred years ago, and he has already reached Domain Lord? Who could believe that? How could they believe it?

However, the Family Head naturally wouldn't speak carelessly. Since he said Chu Hao is a Domain Lord, then he must be a Domain Lord.

Great Emperor's relic!

This person must have obtained the Great Emperor's relic; that's why his realm soared like a rocket, advancing from War God to Domain Lord in just over a hundred years.

Thinking this, everyone's eyes turned green with envy.

They are all descendants of the Great Emperor, so why should Chu Hao be the one to receive such fortune? It's unfair! Absolutely unfair.

Chu Hao raised his glass in return and said, "You flatter me."

The atmosphere suddenly livened up. Regardless of how Chu Hao became a Domain Lord, now that he possesses such a realm, he is one of the He Family's top experts and must be respected.

Besides the Family Head, only the He Family's sixth generation, the sixteenth son with his exceptional talent, also stepped into the ranks of Domain Lord. However, even he is only a Third Tier Domain Lord, and he absolutely cannot be compared to the Family Head.

He Qian steered the conversation, being the He Family Head, a direct child of the Great Emperor, and also an expert at the Domain Lord level. He naturally possessed great confidence and was the center of attention with his witty conversation.

Initially, the conversation revolved around the He Family members, but it gradually shifted to discuss the Great Emperor's relics.

"Chu Hao, the Great Emperor's relic is of significant importance. Since we're all He Family members, it's better to study it together," said a Star King, a topic obviously not suitable for He Qian to raise.

"Yes, let's study it together. The saying goes, 'An individual's skill is limited, collective wisdom brings strength.' Only by pooling our wisdom can we fully utilize the Great Emperor's relic."

"If handed over to the Family Head, he could soon break through to become a Realm Master, and only then could our He Family truly return to its peak."

Everyone spoke up, pressing Chu Hao into a corner.

Although He Qian did not press him, he also did not stop the others, evidently condoning all that was happening.

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "I indeed obtained the Great Emperor's relic."

Upon hearing this, the people of He Family immediately became excited. But to be honest, they only knew about the existence of the Great Emperor's relic, not what it actually was. They all stared at Chu Hao, eager for him to reveal more secrets.

"This relic was obtained by the Great Emperor in a secret realm, known as the Fire Origin. With it, one could greatly accelerate the cultivation speed and even gave the Great Emperor a chance to assault the Heavenly Emperor's title."

"However, because the Great Emperor severely injured his Origin during an adventure in the secret realm, he died of regret when attempting to ascend to the Heavenly Emperor," Chu Hao continued.

The crowd showed signs of impatience, as the fall of the Great Emperor was already known to them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to leave Sky Martial Star. With a Great Emperor presiding, the He Family would naturally be the strongest family in the Star Universe.

Chu Hao added, "When assailing the Heavenly Emperor, the Great Emperor used up half of the Fire Origin, and the remaining half was passed down through the bloodline to his descendants. Each received a bit of the Fire Origin, hence, He Family members are close to Fire Series Laws and find cultivating them relatively easier."

"I received the most Fire Origin, which is why I quickly advanced to Domain Lord."

"But when I reached the Domain Lord level, the Fire Origin was completely exhausted,"

Chu Hao shrugged and smiled, "So, I must disappoint everyone. The Great Emperor's relic, as it passed down to me, is gone."

"What!"

"Impossible!"

"He must be spouting nonsense!"

"Liar!"

The He Family members were visibly enraged, with no one believing Chu Hao, convinced he was merely evading, reluctant to hand over the Great Emperor's relic.

"Chu Hao, that's not a nice thing to say," He Qian said coolly, "As family, why deceive each other?"

Chu Hao sighed. These people were blinded by their interests, unwilling to believe the truth nor accept it. They had waited two million years, not for the words "it's gone."

"Gone means gone. Could I possibly conjure some Fire Origin for you?" he said calmly. The Fire Origin was indeed gone. He could bring out some Origin of Water, but that was obtained through his own efforts and owed nobody anything.

"Haha, it seems we're ultimately driven to this!" He Qian waved his hand and a middle-aged man in a purple robe appeared, his body engulfed with purple flames that wove into the dazzling Light of Laws.

"Sixth Ancestor!" the people of He Family exclaimed.

He Yan of the He Family, the Sixth Ancestor.
