Chapter 636: Killing the Tiger to Warn the Monkeys
"Hand over the Fire Origin, and we can still be a family," He Yan said indifferently.
Chu Hao shook his head, "I have never sensed a familial atmosphere from you, just greed, endless greed."
"This is like refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit," He Dan raised an eyebrow, "Although it saddens me to act against my own kin, there are always one or two black sheep in every family who must be eliminated to cleanse it."
Chu Hao couldn't help but smile, "So, after all this, I've become the black sheep that needs to be cleansed?"
"You asked for it!" He Yan said.
Chu Hao smiled faintly, "You made a mistake."
"Oh, what mistake?" He Yan asked. There were two higher rank Domain Lords here now, both higher than Chu Hao, naturally outclassing him, and he didn't mind wasting a bit of time.
Chu Hao said, "You underestimated my strength."
"Haha, just a First Tier Domain Lord, what sort of splash could you possibly make?" He Yan scoffed.
With a ten laws difference, it was an absolute crushing. Not to mention the difference of hundreds or thousands of laws. He alone could suppress Chu Hao, and for He Qian, it would truly only take one finger.
"Why not try and see?" Chu Hao smiled.
"Hmph, I wouldn't mind searching your Divine Soul, to see where you got this arrogance from," He Yan snorted, then reached out towards Chu Hao, buzzing, his hand shimmered, intertwining laws.
He was a Third Tier Domain Lord, in control of over six hundred laws, now all unveiled without reserve by him.
In conflict, one must give their all.
Chu Hao extended his finger, pointing at that giant hand.
Pfft, the giant hand now had a hole in it, the Light of Laws extinguished, dim and dull.
What!
Everyone was stunned, that was He Yan, one of the strongest in the He Family apart from the Family Head, but his powerful attack had been effortlessly neutralized by Chu Hao.
So strong, truly too strong!
He Yan frowned, "I underestimated you a bit."
Chu Hao smiled, "It's not that you underestimated me, but that you overestimated yourself."
"Jokes, a mere First Tier Domain Lord, it must be some Secret Treasure that neutralized that attack, do you think that is your true strength?" He Yan attacked again, intent on forcing out that Secret Treasure.
Good stuff indeed, enabling a First Tier Domain Lord to match or even surpass a Third Tier.
Chu Hao shook his head, casually pressing his hand, freezing He Yan in his tracks. He had achieved Perfection in Space Law, effortlessly trapping He Yan.
Not to mention he was inherently positioned on a higher tier of laws, with Space Law far superior to Fire Series Laws.
Under this dual suppression, He Yan was naturally played within his grasp.
This was even without Chu Hao employing the Infinite Chaos; otherwise, even a low-tier Realm Master could be obliterated, let alone a mere Third Tier Domain Lord.
Clap, clap, clap, He Qian applauded, "Worthy of someone who received the inheritance of the Great Emperor, truly not to be underestimated."
Chu Hao smiled faintly, "I don't dare claim that. Considering we both share He Family blood, I can still pretend nothing happened."
He Qian thought for a moment but shook his head, "This belongs to my father. As his son, I naturally have a duty to retrieve it for him."
Chu Hao sighed; he genuinely didn't want to fall out with the He Family, but alas, after two million years, how much affection was left between them? To him, they were no different from strangers, except for the blood of the He Family.
Even then, he didn't carry the He surname.
No longer treating them differently, his expression turned cold, "If that's the case, then I have no reason to stay any longer, farewell." He turned and walked away.
"Think you can just leave?" He Qian made his move, his right hand reaching out, Star Force condensing into a giant hand, grabbing towards Chu Hao. Three thousand Fire Series Laws interwoven in the giant hand, all Third Tier, exuding a powerful aura.
Third Tier Laws at Great Perfection.
Chu Hao didn't stop, merely bringing his right hand's fingers together, slashing behind, Sword Intent condensed, forming a Sword Diagram.
Boom, the Star Force giant hand was instantly devoured, creating a void vortex, gently spinning.
Everyone was left in shocked awe, the vortex too terrifying, giving everyone a chill to the core, including He Qian who could only watch helplessly as Chu Hao left.
After all, Chu Hao had shown restraint, not going for the kill; otherwise, with his current strength, a single move could have made the entire island where the He Family resided disappear forever.
However, if anyone from the He Family still didn't recognize the situation, he would not mind embarking on a slaughter.
Chu Hao exited the hall, "Go bring all the influential figures of Sky Martial Star here, I have something to discuss with them."
The people of the He Family were furious. Was this guy issuing orders?
He Qian's face changed, and after a long while, he said, "As you wish."
He had been frightened by Chu Hao's earlier move, so he planned to let others deal with Chu Hao, as long as he didn't reveal Chu Hao's secret, no one else would know about the legacy Chu Hao had received from the Great Emperor of the He Family.
So, as soon as Chu Hao died, he could directly perform a Soul Search.
The He Family still held a significant status in the new Sky Martial Star. After all, He Qian was a High Tier Domain Lord, and there were only about ten Realm Masters on Sky Martial Star, which made He Qian's status quite high.
After he sent out the invitations, not only did all the Domain Lords hurriedly attend, giving great face, but even the Realm Masters sent delegates to come, wanting to know what important matter He Qian had to discuss with them.
Being a child of a Great Emperor, there were always some benefits.
Ten days later, all the powerful ones gathered.
"He Family Head, you have summoned us all here, is there something important?" everyone asked one after another.
"Hehe, it wasn't me who wanted to invite you over, I'm merely fulfilling someone else's request," He Qian laughed.
"Oh, may I know who it is?" the crowd asked again.
"Me!" Chu Hao descended from the sky, his hands behind his back.
"And who are you?" The crowd didn't dare underestimate Chu Hao anymore; after all, he was also a Domain Lord. No one would want to completely offend a Domain Lord unless they were confident they could kill him on the spot.
Chu Hao spoke indifferently, "My name is Chu Hao, and today I have invited everyone here to discuss a matter."
"Oh, what matter? Let's hear it."
Chu Hao said, "I'd like to ask everyone to take your clanspeople and leave Sky Martial Star, to restore its original order."
The crowd looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
It was simply too funny. A mere First Tier Domain Lord actually wanted to monopolize Sky Martial Star? This was a Superior Star capable of nurturing Great Emperors and even Heavenly Emperors. Even Realm Masters regarded it as a precious place.
You are just too greedy!
"Human Race, there's nothing funny about this, stop with these unproductive jokes."
"Let's go, what a waste of time!"
"He Family Head, please don't waste our time with such people again in the future."
The crowd was shaking their heads; this was simply idiotic.
Chu Hao stretched out his hand, and the Light of Laws surged.
"How audacious, daring to strike at us!" The crowd was instantly furious. The people here were either Domain Lords or representatives of Realm Masters, yet Chu Hao actually wanted to take on all of them by himself, which was purely seeking death.
"Kill him!"
"A mere First Tier Domain Lord dares to show off!"
These people attacked one after another, converging their efforts towards Chu Hao.
He Qian didn't make a move, only sneered. He was waiting for the moment Chu Hao was blasted away to immediately rush forward and perform a Soul Search on Chu Hao.
But a shocking scene occurred. The attacks of the Domain Lords were all in vain, as the Space Law formed a confinement, rendering all the Domain Lords unable to move even a finger, each one horrified, their faces twitching uncontrollably.
What's going on? How could he be so powerful!
He Qian also felt his scalp tingling. He was a Peak Domain Lord who could suppress all the Domain Lords here with his own power, but he definitely couldn't do it as effortlessly as this. How terrifying the descendant of the Old Fourth has become, defying the heavens.
He Yan directly sat on the ground, secretly relieved that if Chu Hao wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
"I'll give you six months. If you don't leave Sky Martial Star by then, I will eradicate all of you," Chu Hao calmly stated, his words filled with chilling killing intent. "Also, during this period, if you dare to harm one person of the Human Race from Sky Martial Star, I will likewise eliminate all of you."
"Alright, you may leave," Chu Hao released the confinement.
Everyone was trembling and quickly flew away, not wanting to stay a moment longer near Chu Hao, this scourge.
Chu Hao didn't stay with the He Family. Instead, he stepped away to see how the ordinary people of this world lived.
Sky Martial Star used to be under the rule of the Human Race, while the demonic races lived overseas. Now, whether overseas or on the continent, there were Martial Artists from Outside the Domain, completely different races.
As Chu Hao walked through various cities, the situation of the Human Race was truly worrying, just like the previous situation in Guangyuan Continent where the Human Race had no status at all, living like slaves.
However, before half a year had passed, he was stopped by someone.
This was a Low Tier Realm Master who, upon learning that his subordinates had been humiliated and that a Domain Lord had demanded they leave Sky Martial Star, immediately became furious and rushed out to find Chu Hao to kill this Human Race and show that the authority of a Realm Master is not to be challenged.
"Kneel, and I can grant you a swift end," he said coldly. This person, known as September, was a First Tier Realm Master who had mastered more than two hundred Subordinate Laws and was ranked within the top ten on Sky Martial Star.
Chu Hao murmured, "After waiting for so many days, I've finally encountered a big fish. Good, better to kill a tiger to warn the monkeys than killing chickens. A Realm Master should be weighty enough."
"What are you mumbling about? Aren't you going to kneel quickly!" September Realm Master shouted.
Chu Hao smiled broadly, "I was saying, if I butchered you, perhaps the others would be more cooperative."
"Nonsense!" September Realm Master was furious and charged at Chu Hao.
