Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 311 - 301: Forcing the Secret Technique
Chu Hao’s figure moved swiftly, his left hand shooting up as he unleashed the Crescent Slash.
"Hmph, just a mere Martial Sect." Lei Bin scoffed disdainfully. Under his attack, did Chu Hao even qualify to counterattack?
Thud, the azure giant hand closed in, but a Fire Blade tenaciously carved through the hand, continuing its trajectory toward Lei Bin.
What!
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes bulged in shock.
The white-clothed man a moment ago was only a First Tier Warrior, and he had broken through from the Sixteen Meridians of the Three Minor Realms; such combat power was naturally not that formidable. But who was Lei Bin? He was a personality from the Fledgling Dragon List nine years ago, with a highest ranking of 24.
Indeed, if it were a battle of the same tier, Lei Bin would definitely not be a match for Chu Hao. But the problem is, he had already been a renowned talent on the Fledgling Dragon List nine years ago, and after so many years of arduous cultivation, how terrifying must his improvement in combat power be?
At their age, how could they afford to lag behind by nine years? Moreover, it was already Lei Bin’s second time participating in the Fledgling Dragon List nine years ago, while Chu Hao could still participate one more time, so the age gap between them was twelve years, not nine.
Now, their realms also reflected the gap in their ages; one was still at the Martial Sect level, while the other had already become a Fourth Tier Warrior, as different as heaven and earth.
Yet a Martial Sect actually managed to forcefully split open the attack of a Fourth Tier Warrior, how, how, how is this possible?
The previous scene of the white-clothed man pierced through the heart by Chu Hao’s Starlight was still vivid before their eyes, and Lei Bin, of course, would not repeat the same mistake. He immediately leaped to the side, evading the Crescent Slash.
With a hum, the Crescent Slash dissipated into nothingness after traveling several tens of meters.
Lei Bin was angry, astonished, and filled with envy; this time, he finally experienced the power of the opponent’s Starlight firsthand—he could clearly see that the opponent’s Fire Blade was wrapped with a thread of Starlight, which was the key to breaking through his attack. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
His own strike had been in vain, naturally leaving him frustrated, but he yearned even more for a technique like Chu Hao’s.
If such mighty power could come from a mere Martial Sect, what if he mastered it himself?
Whoo, whoo, whoo, not just him, everyone who witnessed this scene exhibited a look of covetousness, their breathing becoming heavy, almost as if they wanted to devour Chu Hao alive.
Chu Hao furrowed his brows; if this news got out, he would surely be hunted down by the whole world, pressured for the secret—perhaps even old monsters at the level of War Venerate and War Emperor might take an interest.
He certainly did not fancy being constantly watched, where any stranger might suddenly launch a sneak attack on him.
"Since you all are so eager to learn my secret, I shall tell you," said Chu Hao with a light smile. "Actually, this secret technique is very simple to cultivate; that is—"
He paused for a moment, and the entire place instantly fell silent as a tomb, a stark contrast to the noise just a moment ago, as everyone forcibly held their breath in anticipation.
Quite a few people were already harboring murderous intentions, intending to kill as soon as they learned this secret—the fewer people who knew about a technique like this, the better.
"It’s really simple; you only need to reach the Double Great Perfection of martial master and Martial Sect." Chu Hao grinned.
Really simple, but damn it, how many people could achieve that?
"Chu Hao, are you trying to fool people with such tricks?" someone called out unwillingly.
Chu Hao remained composed and said, "The truth is just as it is. I was previously a Ten Meridians martial master, which everyone knows. Now that I have just become a Ten Meridians Martial Sect, I possess such ability."
At that, no one in the crowd uttered another word.
Although there was still doubt, they had also heard that reaching Double Great Perfection in the Three Minor Realms granted unimaginable benefits. From the Starlight displayed by Chu Hao, those benefits seemed to be substantial.
But the question was, how many people could achieve such a Double Great Perfection?
Especially for Martial Sects and Warriors, they could not return to the Martial Master Realm to re-cultivate the ninth and tenth Proper Veins, effectively cutting off their chances of obtaining that ability.
"I don’t believe it, you must be lying to us!" someone yelled angrily.
"Right, it must be a lie."
"Hand over the real secret technique."
More and more people joined the outcry, unable to accept it.
"You useless fools, if you couldn’t cultivate to Double Great Perfection, what are you making all the noise for?" Fat Cat appeared, wrapped in a bubble floating in mid-air, "In Ancient Times, there was no shortage of such Heaven Talented individuals, but it seems that in this generation, not one of you can manage it, which truly amuses me!"
"If I told you that after reaching Great Perfection in each of the Middle Three Realms, the Ten Springs can merge into a ’Return to One,’ and eventually the springs of man, earth, and heaven intercommunicate, able to neutralize all types of foreign forces, wouldn’t you be scared out of your minds?"
At Fat Cat’s words, many people indeed trembled in shock, but some also showed expressions of excitement. Naturally, these were the Warriors; they knew that Nine Springs or Ten Springs Warriors were certainly stronger than those of the Eight Meridians, but apart from strength, they had no clue what other advantages it entailed since no one around them had reached that step.
Perhaps some War Emperors and War Gods had achieved it, but who would dare inquire about it from such beings?
Being unable to reach Perfection in the Three Minor Realms didn’t mean one couldn’t achieve it in the Middle Three Realms; there was no confining relationship between the two.
The place was silent; they gradually accepted Chu Hao’s explanation, his Starlight must have been so destructive as a result of achieving the Double Great Perfection in the Three Minor Realms, which was indeed possible for everyone but in reality, was achieved by almost no one.
"Forget about the Starlight, hand over the Exotic Heart Lotus!" Lei Bin’s gaze heated up once again.
This was a Divine Medicine that could strengthen the soul; even War Gods would be tempted by it.
"That’s right, hand over the Exotic Heart Lotus!" the others also shouted in agreement.
Chu Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I’ve eaten it all."
Eaten it all?
Many people immediately showed disappointment, indeed, more than ten days had passed, and if it had been them, they would have definitely eaten and digested it first thing to truly make it their own.
"I don’t believe you ate it all, you must have kept a few," someone else called out.
"Exactly, how could someone possibly eat such a Divine Medicine entirely? You must have kept some."
"Chu Hao, we’ll let go of what you’ve eaten, but hand over the remaining Exotic Heart Lotus now."
Chu Hao snorted and said, "I spoke with you politely not because I’m scared of you but because I don’t want constant trouble later on. Since you don’t believe me, then come at me. Defeat me, and you can naturally take my spoils and search me yourself."
"Chu Hao, you’re too arrogant," Qiu Aiming said coldly. "Although you’ve achieved Double Great Perfection in the Three Minor Realms, you’re still just a Martial Sect. Your strength is still far behind a Warrior, let alone the fact that the three of us are at the Four Springs stage!"
"Hand over your Mustard Seed Ring, and you can get lost," Lei Bin was more direct.
"Little brother, divine treasures are not for you to enjoy alone!" Leng Qiongfang also spoke, her words full of threats.
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Enough talk, if you’re not convinced, come at me and see if I’m afraid!"
"How arrogant!" Qiu Aiming made his move, pointing a finger at Chu Hao. Whoosh, a streak of Golden Light spread out, transforming into a golden bird with flapping wings, swooping toward Chu Hao.
Chu Hao had no time to waste here. He swung his left hand, unleashing a Crescent Slash, and his body sprung forward, dashing ahead.
"Thinking of leaving?" Lei Bin and Leng Qiongfang attacked simultaneously, both striking from a distance.
They were Warriors, unlike a Martial Sect who could only externalize Star Force through Starlight. They could indeed project their body’s Star Force from a distance because their Star Force had liquefied, condensed countless times over, substantial enough to be considered as Starlight.
With each movement carrying the power of Starlight-level potency, their Combat Power was naturally terrifying.
Chu Hao deployed his Derivation abilities, threading an exceedingly strange path with his steps, dodging the attacks from the three great Warriors, while his left hand repeatedly unleashed Crescent Slash, forcing the three of them to dodge as well.
—Lei Bin, who was careless and chose to withstand the attack directly, ended up with a large gash on his right hand from which blood flowed continuously.
It was like a Single-Meridian Martial Sect facing a person from the Eight Meridians. In terms of strength, clearly, the Eight Meridians were overpoweringly stronger, but if the Eight Meridians were struck by a Starlight blow from the Single-Meridian, they would still suffer a heavy loss.
The situation now was similar, Chu Hao’s strength was far from comparable to the three of them, but the power of the Starlight could easily slice through their defenses, forcing them to dodge rather than overpower them with brute force.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, all four of them deployed their movement techniques and ran wildly. Due to the special terrain, even though the Warriors could control the artifact to fly, they could not fully utilize this advantage, so Chu Hao was able to shake off the three behind him for a short time.
Furthermore, they were not simply running; they continued to make their moves, with various lights flashing chaotically, making the scene incredibly intense.
"Hao, we’re here," Fat Cat suddenly spoke up.
"Hao?" Chu Hao felt an itch in his teeth; he was "little Hao," and the other was a cat, wasn’t that clearly putting him a notch down?
"Don’t be dissatisfied. Do you still want the Silver Dragon Armor?" Fat Cat said confidently.
"You’re ruthless!" Chu Hao could only grit his teeth.
"You’re in luck, kid. No one has come here yet!" said Fat Cat. It closed its eyes for a moment, then opened them and continued, "I see now, those guys have found other treasures and are fighting over them. Heh heh, they don’t think about whether it’s their destiny or not, and they’re bound for divine punishment!"
"Never mind divine punishment, do you have any way to shake off those three annoying fellows behind me?" Chu Hao asked.
"That’s not possible, I’ve helped you enough already. If I help you cheat any more, I’d have to face the consequences myself," Fat Cat clamored, adamantly refusing to help.
Chu Hao nodded and said, "Then lead the way for me."
"In that house up ahead—"
Boom, Chu Hao’s sword swept through, blowing the door open, and he vanished inside.
"The bedroom, there’s a mechanism in the bedside drawer. Turn it three times to the left and twice to the right," Fat Cat continued.
Chu Hao did as instructed, click click click, and the bed in the room split to either side, revealing a dark, ominous passage.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Lei Bin and the other two also arrived at the same time. Seeing the hidden passage, they couldn’t help but show looks of surprise. (To be continued.
