Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 283 - 273 Complete Victory

"Ao——" The Blood Demon Wolf let out an angry howl, while Lin Zhining flipped onto the back of the Demon Wolf. The wolf’s limbs moved briskly as it charged fiercely towards Chu Hao.

One man and one wolf.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but wonder, wasn’t the Demon Wolf supposed to be illusory? Why could it be ridden? That would be quite useful, as one could use it as transportation on a normal day.

This shouldn’t be any Cultivation Technique, but rather Lin Zhining’s physique.

Previously, he had heard that the Lin Family had produced a War Emperor, who passed down the Demon Wolf Annihilation Fist, and the mark on Lin Zhining’s forehead could actually transform into a Demon Wolf, then naturally, it was related to the bloodline.

But, what of it even if it’s one man and one wolf?

Chu Hao confronted them, his hands turning into palms, the Sky Wind Eight Styles unfolding, as he met Lin Zhining head-on.

Boom, before he arrived, his powerful vital blood had already collided with the Demon Wolf, but this time the Demon Wolf did not dissipate. Instead, it seemed as if it had been injected with a dose of adrenaline; its two eyes turned blood-red, and its fierceness intensified.

Lin Zhining chuckled coldly to himself. Who could know that this Demon Wolf was not made from Star Force, but was actually a true Hell Demon Wolf?

Their Lin Family’s War Emperor ancestor, while progressing the Demon Wolf Annihilation Fist to Great Achievement, had once bathed in the blood of the Hell Demon Wolf King. And what was the Hell Demon Wolf King?

Also a War Emperor.

Once reaching the Upper Three Realms, no matter if it’s Martial Artists or ferocious beasts, they would undergo qualitative changes, moving further away from the realm of ordinary mortals and beasts. For instance, even a stone that awakened spirit could turn into a sentient being, emerging at the level of a War Venerate.

Therefore, the Upper Three Realms mark a stage of complete transformation; upon reaching War God, one would have entirely shed their original life level and entered the "divine" level.

The descendants of the War Emperor, though not as monstrous as those of the War God who could enable early Elemental Transformation of their bodies, still possess certain special abilities.

Like the Lin Family, who inherited the physique of the Demon Wolf, allowing them to use the mark of the Demon Wolf on their foreheads to nurture the Life Soul of a Hell Demon Wolf.

This requires cultivation from a young age, feeding the Life Soul with one’s own Essence Blood. Over time, the Life Soul can become materialized from nothingness, turning into a real Hell Demon Wolf. As the nurturer’s realm improves, so does the growth of the wolf.

One man and one beast of the same realm, meaning their Combat Power was doubled. How powerful was that?

Of course, not every member of the Lin Family possessed such an ability; one’s bloodline had to be pure enough. Moreover, the inherent strength of the Hell Demon Wolf was limited by the bloodline; the closer it was to the Demon Wolf King, the greater its strength and potential.

Thus, the more a member of the Lin Family’s bloodline regressed to their ancestors, the stronger the Demon Wolf nurtured by their mark would be. Otherwise, they would be consumed by the Life Soul of the Demon Wolf and become a humanoid Demon Wolf.

Not only did Lin Zhining have exceptional martial arts talent, but his bloodline was also pure, once in ten thousand years for the Lin Family. The Demon Wolf he nurtured was very close to the Demon Wolf King in terms of bloodline, and originally it had cost his family a great sacrifice to kill this Demon Wolf and extract its Life Soul.

It can be said that the Combat Power of this Demon Wolf was hardly inferior to his own.

This was his trump card, as well as the Lin Family’s. It was always used at the most dangerous junctures. Even when Lin Zhining was tossed around by the Barbaric Girl like a sandbag, he had not used this move.

How could Chu Hao block it?

He definitely couldn’t block it! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

A grim smile appeared on Lin Zhining’s face. If he defeated Chu Hao, it meant washing away all the previous humiliations. After all, Chu Hao was ranked first in the Fledgling Dragon List this time; wouldn’t defeating the top contender prove something?

Quite interesting.

A smile appeared on Chu Hao’s lips. Had it been before the baptism in the Dragon Pool, he indeed would have had no means to counter this move, given the wide gap in strength; he would inevitably have been crushed.

But now... his hands turned into claws, reaching for Lin Zhining and the Demon Wolf’s necks.

What?

Lin Zhining flew into a rage. To think he would aim for his neck – what contempt was this? It suggested that in Chu Hao’s eyes, his strength could almost be disregarded, hence casually stretching out a hand would clinch victory.

You motherfucker are indeed looking down on me too much, thinking you’re a Warrior?

Go to hell!

Lin Zhining’s fists vibrated with rage, and the Demon Wolf, sharing a psychic link with him, also let out an angry howl, fiercely biting towards Chu Hao’s neck.

Chu Hao revealed a mocking smile. His hands reached out mysteriously, bypassing the blockade of Lin Zhining and the Demon Wolf, striking directly at both their necks.

Lin Zhining was shocked; how had the opponent managed to break through his attack so easily? He now had only two choices: either to retreat immediately before the attack was made or to engage in a head-on clash – if you try to grab my neck, then my attack can hit your body too. Let’s trade blow for blow.

Indeed, you are a Body Cultivator with a strong Physique, but I’ve also summoned a Demon Wolf, born out of cultivating a Life Soul, which has immense destructive power against both human and beast souls. If you’re really hit, your Divine Sense will suffer tremendous damage.

In the face of such an attack, even a Body Cultivator would find it challenging!

After all, Chu Hao was merely at the Martial Sect level of Body Cultivation, far from achieving the higher realms where blood could be regenerated and flesh and blood were united as one.

Let’s go all out.

Lin Zhining said to himself inwardly, simultaneously driving his fists and the Demon Wolf into a furious assault on Chu Hao.

Slap, slap, slap, slap.

Chu Hao’s hands grabbed the necks of Lin Zhining and the Demon Wolf, while Lin Zhining’s hands struck Chu Hao’s chest. The Demon Wolf bit down on his head, transforming into a terrifying spiritual shockwave that passed directly through Chu Hao’s body and launched an attack on his divine sense.

Lin Zhining couldn’t help but show a smile. His attack might be blocked by Chu Hao’s formidable physique, but the Demon Wolf’s attack could penetrate the defense of body cultivation and impact the spirit. With such a bombardment, Chu Hao should definitely be holding his head and howling in pain. How could he possibly still be gripping his neck?

The next step would be for him and the Demon Wolf to brutally torment Chu Hao.

Indeed, body cultivators possess strong bodies, but under continuous and relentless strikes, aren’t they invincible? Just as dripping water can wear away a stone, even a spirited woman can’t withstand constant harassment.

Boom—the Demon Wolf’s spiritual attack arrived.

Chu Hao glared furiously, and a storm surged in his sea of consciousness.

"Aoo!" The Demon Wolf let out a groan, its expression instantly weakened, and its body shrank considerably.

What!

Lin Zhining was shocked. His Demon Wolf was not a physical entity; it was nurtured from a Life Soul combined with his bloodline, growing bit by bit. It was precisely because of this characteristic that the Demon Wolf did not fear attacks based on physical strength—indeed, it could be smashed and pierced, but it could recover automatically in an instant.

The only thing that could seriously injure the Demon Wolf was an attack on the soul, just like its own.

But how could the divine sense of an ordinary martial artist be powerful? It’s something you start cultivating only after reaching the War Venerate level.

That’s exactly why Lin Zhining was so shocked. His Demon Wolf launched its attack only to be counter-injured so severely. How unbelievable was that?

Chu Hao grinned. Speaking of divine sense strength, he was the fusion of two souls. Who could compare with him?

He tightened his grip with both hands, simultaneously seizing the necks of Lin Zhining and the Demon Wolf.

Bang bang bang bang—he swung them left and right, slamming them down again.

Hisss—everyone watching winced.

Lin Zhining, 11th on the Earth Tiger List from Yue State, who could even stand on equal footing with Yuan Tiangang, was first flung around like a dead dog by the Barbaric Girl, and now, despite unleashing all his ultimate moves, he still couldn’t escape being slammed like a dead dog by Chu Hao. How unlucky could he get?

Were you here to challenge the prodigies of Cang State, or were you here to be sold off as a dead dog?

Many burst into laughter, feeling that today’s events had been full of twists and turns. First, a few Heaven Talented from Yue State had pressured Cang State into a tight spot, then the Barbaric Girl and Chu Hao each made their moves, turning the situation on its head.

"Pfft—" Lin Zhining spewed fresh blood, not from being slammed, but from sheer frustration.

Being thrown around like a dead dog again; how could he bear it, how could he?

"Enough!" An elder from Yue State called out, gently pushing out a palm, and Chu Hao’s movements came to an abrupt halt. He felt a sudden weakness in his hands and could no longer grip Lin Zhining and the Demon Wolf. Slap, slap, they both fell to the ground.

The influential figures of Cang State had not intervened, knowing that the elder from Yue State merely wanted to stop the fight. If he dared to harbor lethal intent against Chu Hao, the big shots here were not vegetarians.

—After all, Chu Hao was likely to become a War God, a talent who might carry the banner of Cang State for centuries to come. How could they allow him to come to harm under their protection?

Chu Hao quickly regained his strength, but he didn’t attack again. He just smiled at Lin Zhining, who was gasping for breath on the ground, then turned and walked away.

The more indifferent and nonchalant he behaved, the angrier Lin Zhining became, as he felt utterly disregarded by his opponent.

This was Lin Zhining!

But what could he say now? Unlike the previous fight against the Barbaric Girl, where he was momentarily careless and failed to realize she was a body cultivator and ended up being flung around, this time he was fully aware Chu Hao was a body cultivator and even used his ultimate move, only to be utterly defeated.

A defeated general should not speak of bravery.

No amount of words could save him from further embarrassment now.

"Young man, you’ve done well," the elder from Yue State looked at Chu Hao, his gaze profound as if he could see right through him.

Chu Hao gave a toothy smile, replying, "I thank the senior for your praise."

"I hope to see you shine at the grand gathering of the Nine States in the future," the elder said to him, then turned to the big shots of Cang State. "Esteemed colleagues, in this exchange, we of the Yue State have lost. However, these juniors alone can’t represent the true strength of Yue State’s younger generation. If you have time in the future, do bring these few friends over to Yue State for a visit, to experience the true strength of Yue State’s young generation."

The elder was clearly issuing a challenge.

They came with confidence to sweep the competition, started perfectly, but ended in a mess. Naturally, they wanted to salvage some face.

And indeed, Yue State had reasons to be proud. Lin Zhining was only ranked 11th on the Earth Tiger List, after all.

"Heh heh heh." The big shots of Cang State all smiled but none accepted the challenge. First of all, they were not the seniors of Chu Hao, Yuan Tiangang, or the Barbaric Girl, and it would be inappropriate for them to make decisions rashly.

Moreover, the top five on the Earth Tiger List from Yue State had all become Warriors. To go challenge them now would be asking for trouble. (To be continued.
