Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 304 - 294: The Strange Fat Cat

Three people moved forward slowly, and before long, they were all covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Here, Ke Ruoshan, who had a higher cultivation realm, actually had no advantage. Instead, because her power was stronger, she suffered greater suppression, which made her effort more strenuous. Moreover, Chu Hao and the Barbaric Girl were both Body Cultivators, whose vigor far surpassed that of Star Force Cultivators, so ironically, Ke Ruoshan looked even more disheveled, panting continuously.

However, since they were not far from the metallic castle, they reached the entrance of the city after more than half an hour. Upon arriving there, that sticky feeling in their steps immediately vanished.

The city walls were a hundred meters tall, and the city gate was also towering at over eighty meters. The black metallic gate matched the style of the entire castle, emitting a chilling sense of oppression. But at the lower right of this gate, there was surprisingly a smaller door, whose size was no different from that of an ordinary gate.

Many people gathered at the gate, at least a thousand, of various ages—some were only in their teens while others were as old as sixty. The range in their Cultivation Realms was vast too; some were martial masters, some were Martial Sects, and there were even a few Warriors present.

This place allowed only Warriors to enter, and even they needed assistance from external powers. War Generals could not enter at all.

Chu Hao glanced around and felt that everyone was immensely unfamiliar; he recognized no one.

"Hey, isn’t that Chu Hao?"

"And the Body Cultivation girl!"

"Ke Ruoshan from the Spirit Spring Sect!"

However, Chu Hao and his two companions were immediately recognized, which wasn’t surprising, given that many had witnessed their battle at the Fledgling Dragon List.

Ke Ruoshan had been famous for many years, and as a True Disciple of a First Grade Sect, it was no surprise that some recognized her.

As the trio walked past, many greeted them.

"Since you’re already here, why not enter the city?" Chu Hao asked.

"It’s not that we don’t want to enter; we just aren’t qualified!" someone immediately sighed.

"Why?" Chu Hao casually asked, noting the absence of talents like Yuan Tiangang. Perhaps those people hadn’t arrived yet, or maybe they had already entered the city. If it was the latter, then there clearly were certain restrictions on entering the city, though he was yet to know what they were.

"Because there’s a gatekeeper Evil God!" the person from before explained.

"Who’s talking bad about me, meow!" At that moment, an elderly voice rang out.

Chu Hao turned his head and was dumbstruck.

The one who spoke was not a person but a white cat! It was a very ordinary-looking white cat, neither big nor different in appearance; it didn’t have an extra horn or a pair of wings. If there was anything unusual about it, it was that its eyes seemed more spirited, and it was very, very fat.

Of course, it could also talk.

Damn, it’s become a spirit!

"What are you looking at? There are no flowers growing on my face. Be careful, or I’ll smack you and cover your face in blood, meow," said the fat cat cheekily, even lifting a paw.

"Kitty kitty," the Barbaric Girl immediately laughed, hopping over with stars in her eyes. "I’ve never seen a talking kitty before."

"Huh, after seeing so many wastes, I finally meet someone with a bit of talent," the fat cat glanced at the Barbaric Girl and nodded approvingly, touching her with a paw, "Girl, you’ve got good talents. Follow me, and I’ll provide casual guidance. You’ll surely achieve greatness—meow, let go, meow, let go quickly."

The Barbaric Girl laughed heartily and hugged the fat cat tightly, refusing to let go.

Seeing this scene, the people around gasped; they had seen the terror of this Cat Demon, and it was not just a creature that could talk but also one that traded on its old age.

"Meow, I’m not showing my strength and you think I’m just a sick cat!" shouted the fat cat.

The girl felt her hands empty all of a sudden; the fat cat had vanished from her arms, and when she looked again, she saw that the fat cat already stood near the city gate, as if capable of teleporting. She couldn’t help but clap and laugh, saying, "Kitty kitty, I want to learn that too."

The fat cat displayed a proud look, saying, "This is my talented ability; you can’t learn it."

"Stingy!" the girl stomped and chased after the fat cat again, evidently wanting another hug.

The fat cat was so frightened that its tail stood on end as it darted around, causing chaos everywhere for a moment.

Everyone felt dizzy watching this; before this, the fat cat was absolutely like a white tiger—ferocious and ruthless. But how had it truly turned into a cat when this girl came along?

"Young lady, I gave you some leeway just because you possess a bit of the Golden Giant Dragon’s bloodline. You shouldn’t be too presumptuous, or I’ll fight even a True Dragon," the fat cat kept dodging as it threatened.

Golden Giant Dragon!

Hearing these four words, Ke Ruoshan showed a shocked expression.

"Sister, do you know what the Golden Giant Dragon is?" Chu Hao curiously asked.

"Legend has it that in Ancient Times, when martial arts thrived, not only were War Gods as common as stray dogs, but among the ferocious beasts, there were many that were exceptionally powerful, with heaven-defying strengths, and they could also transform into human forms!" Ke Ruoshan steadied herself and said.

"The Golden Giant Dragon was one of the foremost among them, said to possess immense natural strength, ranked among the top ten Divine Beasts."

Chu Hao was also startled. If the legend was true, could the Barbaric Girl possibly be a human-shaped giant dragon? Ancient Times, again the Ancient Times, what exactly was that grand era?

"Little White White, let big sister hold you, I will find you a female cat," said the Barbaric Girl as she continually failed to catch Fat Cat, resorting to tempting it with "beauty."

"Meow, I am searching for a fairy mate, and in this world, only the Divine Beast White Tiger is barely worthy of me!" Fat Cat remained unmoved, appearing utterly righteous.

"White Tiger? Yes, yes, yes, my place has an old white tiger," said the Barbaric Girl immediately.

"Pah!" Fat Cat hissed disdainfully, then extended a paw towards the girl, saying, "I am much older than you, so you should respectfully address me as your lord. Calling me Heavenly Emperor would work too, hmm, White Emperor, that title isn’t bad!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

When he mentioned the words ’Heavenly Emperor,’ Fat Cat seemed somewhat sheepish, glancing around and looking up at the sky, relieved that there were no thunderbolts from heaven before puffing up again.

Chu Hao was also moved; while others might not think much hearing the words "Heavenly Emperor," mistaking it for just another title of the War Emperor, he had seen past the Medicine Field of Earth Medicine Valley at Xiaocao’s place, where there was a message stone slab stating "Failure of the Heavenly Emperor" that involved the entire Sky Martial Star.

The Heavenly Emperor Fat Cat mentioned must be the same Heavenly Emperor referred to by the stone slab, right?

In the Ancient Times, the levels of martial arts could have been different and even higher realms could exist above the War God.

Chu Hao grabbed the girl to prevent further chaos between the person and the cat, saying, "Fat Cat, what must I do to enter the city?"

"Meow, call me White Emperor!" Fat Cat’s politeness was solely for the Barbaric Girl, but when facing Chu Hao, it immediately turned hostile. However, upon sneaking a glance at Chu Hao, it involuntarily twitched its nose and said, "Eh, why do you have a familiar smell on you?"

With a light leap, it was already at Chu Hao’s feet, circling around him while sniffing.

"...Are you a cat or a dog?" Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh.

"A bit similar, but far too different, it’s not you!" Fat Cat sighed with a look of disappointment, licking its paw, and said, "Entering the city is simple, just withstand one claw from me and get up afterwards."

Hearing this, the people around couldn’t help but twitch at the mention of ’simple’; none of them had been able to stand up for a long time after being hit by Fat Cat.

Who could have imagined that Fat Cat, seemingly devoid of any cultivation and only good at bragging, possessed such formidable power.

"I’ll go first!" Ke Ruoshan was the first to stand forward; as Chu Hao’s martial sister, she naturally needed to protect her junior brother and test the waters.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a beauty too, what a pity I’m not interested," Fat Cat muttered to itself.

This was definitely a rogue cat.

"Make your move!" said Ke Ruoshan solemnly, as a formidable air immediately hit those present.

Fat Cat raised its paw and commanded, "Black Iron City, heed my order." A burst of invisible light immediately surged into its body, unnoticed by anyone.

Swipe, it swung a paw at Ke Ruoshan.

Bang!

The strike was astoundingly fast, and Ke Ruoshan, unable to dodge, was forced to block it. The loud impact sent her flying backward, crashing to the ground.

Seeing this, no one showed surprise as they had seen it many times; whether it was Yuan Tiangang, first on the Fledgling Dragon List of Cang State, or the late bloomer Yue Feng, all had been slapped flying without exception.

The key was whether one could stand up after being slapped.

"I’ll count to ten, and if you can’t get up within ten counts, you fail," said Fat Cat, starting to count, "One, two, three, four..."

Struggling, Ke Ruoshan managed to get up just as Fat Cat counted to seven and unsteadily stood her ground.

"This talent, mediocre, but you pass, meow," said Fat Cat, shaking its paw.

"Next is me, me me me!" said the Barbaric Girl, raising her hand eagerly and hopping forward.

"You don’t need to, descendants of Divine Beasts automatically pass," Fat Cat said immediately.

"Boooring!" the girl pouted, visibly disappointed.

This made most people there want to cry; how they wished to swap places with her to enter the city without testing.

Chu Hao stepped forward and said, "Then, it’s my turn."

Fat Cat didn’t offer Chu Hao a free pass and once again raised its paw, slapping it fiercely towards him.

Bang!

A surge of tremendous force came, and Chu Hao immediately retreated rapidly.

If Fat Cat’s strike were of the same power as the blow to Ke Ruoshan, then Chu Hao wouldn’t have thought of standing up again after taking the hit; he would’ve been shattered completely. That, of course, was impossible; otherwise, only warriors could enter the city.

Fat Cat’s strike varied depending on the person; the stronger the opponent, the stronger the force of the attack, and conversely, it weakened accordingly.

If Chu Hao had only Star Force Cultivation, this strike would have laid him flat on the ground like Ke Ruoshan. But he was practicing Star-Body Dual Cultivation, and his formidable physical strength immediately came into play, staunchly withstanding the brutal force.

While others were blown away, he slid on the ground, retreating a whole hundred meters.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at QiDian (qidian.com). The support from your votes is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
