Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 313 - 303 Reversal of Fortunes

Chu Hao, who appeared before Lei Fu and the other two, now donned a suit of armor that shimmered with silver light. The Silver Armor had a wonderful texture that flowed like a top-grade artefact, emitting a breathtaking luster.

The helm of this armor resembled an open dragon’s mouth, which snugly enclosed Chu Hao’s head, the dragon’s face vivid as if resurrected from Ancient Times, exuding supreme oppression.

Lei Fu and his companions felt as if their divine souls had been snatched away, feeling a weakness that made them want to prostrate before him, with their legs trembling softly.

They were greatly shocked.

One must know that to be listed on the Fledgling Dragon List, one must truly be a genius of the era, representing the most outstanding new talents of Cang State. Yet a suit of armor alone made them feel an uncontrollable trembling fear—how incredible was that?

Chu Hao faintly smiled and said, "I’ve said all the nice words to you, but you wouldn’t listen, determined to seek your own death!"

"Hmph, you think just because you have additional armor, you can win against us?" Lei Fu retorted with defiance.

Leng Qiongfang and Qiu Aiming both nodded in agreement. After all, Chu Hao had been beaten by them to the point of breaking several bones, which was not fatal, but would definitely greatly impact Chu Hao’s combat power.

In terms of real strength, they undoubtedly crushed Chu Hao; it was only his indestructible Starlight that they were wary of.

Could a suit of armor truly turn Chu Hao’s power upside down? They joked within, not believing that treasures from Ancient Times could defy the heavens!

"I specialize in treating all kinds of defiance, and today I’ll treat you!" Chu Hao leapt into action, recalling the Deep Blue Sword back into the Mustard Seed Ring, with a shake of his hands, two beams of Starlight emerged, as he charged towards Lei Fu.

"Presumptuous!" Lei Fu snorted coldly and swung a palm strike—Boom, a Star Force Giant Hand materialized, aiming to subdue Chu Hao.

This palm strike would certainly have sent Chu Hao flying, then crash heavily against the wall behind him, falling in disarray and possibly breaking a few more bones.

—This was only because Chu Hao’s physique was tough enough; if it had been another Peak Martial Sect, they would have been reduced to blood mush with that strike.

Whoosh, a flash of silver light, and Chu Hao’s body passed through the Star Force Giant Hand, without slowing down at all, continuing his assault on Lei Fu. Bang, the Star Force Giant Hand hit the wall, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The construction here was solid enough that even warriors couldn’t break through it.

"What!"

"How is this possible!"

Leng Qiongfang and Qiu Aiming exclaimed in unison; just now, Chu Hao seemed to have become a phantasmal shadow, actually passing directly through Lei Fu’s Star Force Giant Hand.

That suit of armor.

They immediately thought to themselves, Chu Hao had not had such an ability before; it was because he put on that suit of armor that he suddenly possessed miraculous powers.

Ancient relic, indeed worthy of being an Ancient relic.

Chu Hao, as the person involved, understood even better. As he passed through the Star Force Giant Hand, the Silver Dragon Armor flickered slightly, and the incoming Star Force split and flowed to the sides upon contact with the armor, as if he had become untouchable by any law.

Worth it!

He immediately declared in his mind; though his bones had been broken earlier, nearly leading to his doom, in the end, he had refined this Ancient relic, reawakening its formidable powers.

Whoosh, he was now right before Lei Fu, thrusting his right hand forward, the Starlight aimed straight at the opponent’s chest.

Lei Fu was greatly startled.

Naturally, he too was shocked that Chu Hao could ignore his attack, but he had no time to shout or scream, and hastily twisted on his feet, retreating quickly while launching another palm strike.

As a Fourth Tier warrior, his speed was naturally still faster than Chu Hao’s. This sudden action allowed him to evade Chu Hao’s attack, but his palm strike on Chu Hao’s chest was completely ineffective, as if Chu Hao didn’t exist at all.

The expressions on Lei Fu and his companions drastically changed.

Chu Hao’s Starlight was originally indestructible, and now with an Ancient Treasure Artifact, even his defensive power had risen to an unbelievable level—what were they to do?

Especially in such a confined space where even dodging space was limited.

"Let’s attack together; I refuse to believe this Treasure Armor can withstand hits indefinitely," Qiu Aiming said.

"Exactly." The other two nodded, their eyes brimming with killing intent and increased greed—this armor was too precious.

The three struck again, hurling Star Force Giant Hands chaotically, filling the tiny Secret Chamber with turbulent forces, causing it to constantly quake softly.

Theoretically speaking, the three of them were correct—there’s no such thing as a free lunch; the Silver Dragon Armor couldn’t possibly activate its effects on its own; it certainly required Chu Hao to pay a corresponding price.

But Ancient relics were completely different from modern Treasure Artifacts; the Silver Dragon Armor was not driven by Star Force but by Soul Power.

The more and the greater the hits it took, the more it would consume Chu Hao’s Soul Power, and it just so happened he had just taken five Extoic Heart Lotuses, greatly bolstering his soul, even exceeding the limit of a Martial Sect.

"You think he’ll run out of Soul Power? These three are more likely to deplete their own Star Force before that happens."

After all, he was only activating the Silver Dragon Armor for defense, not directly taking their attacks. The consumption was countless times less.

The Silver Dragon Armor continuously shimmered with a faint silver brilliance, while Chu Hao fearlessly launched into the fray, enveloping the area in a dance of Starlight, moving freely amidst the three warriors’ attacks. It was as if he was the true Warrior, and Qiu Aiming and his companions were merely from the Martial Sect.

Bang, bang, bang! The four of them were fully engaged in a fierce melee. Very soon, Qiu Aiming and his two companions were covered in blood. The injuries were not just from Chu Hao’s Starlight; the secret chamber was too small, and their Star Forces collided with each other, inflicting mutual damage.

But Chu Hao remained unscathed, the Silver Dragon Armor emitting an aura of majestic authority, as if a deity from Ancient Times had awakened, invoking in others the desire to prostrate in worship.

What was the limit of this Silver Armor?

The longer the battle went on, the more uncertain Qiu Aiming and the other two became about their ability to break through the limits of the Silver Dragon Armor. If they couldn’t break it... They were equally in danger from Chu Hao’s Starlight.

They were once the Heaven Talented of the Fledgling Dragon List, and as the years passed, many a talent from the list had either faded into obscurity or perished. Those who remained were the ones who had passed through the crucible of trials, with a future full of limitless prospects. How could they die here?

"Let’s get out of this secret chamber first!" Lei Fu said. The place was so cramped, it restricted their movements, and many of their attacks ended up harming each other instead of distinguishing friend from foe.

Moreover, within such a chamber, Chu Hao’s Starlight unleashed its full power. To face him in close quarters was a foolish act.

"Thinking of leaving now?" Chu Hao chuckled coldly. He had positioned himself at the entrance of the passageway.

To escape, they would have to pass by him, but with two streams of Starlight in his hands, whose lethality Qiu Aiming and the others had already witnessed, who would dare to risk a touch?

Was he planning to "finish off a cornered enemy"?

Qiu Aiming and the others’ faces changed color. Being trapped and slaughtered at the door by a member of the Martial Sect was an unparalleled humiliation. If word spread, it would be a stain on their honor for a lifetime. But the more immediate problem was that they really were trapped.

Chu Hao’s defense had become insurmountable, and his Starlight was invincible. With the strongest spear and shield in hand within the secret chamber, how could they escape or hide?

The irony was, just a short while ago, Leng Qiongfang had instructed Qiu Aiming to guard the door, to "finish off a cornered enemy". Yet, in the blink of an eye, the tables had turned, and it was their turn to be trapped and slaughtered. This swift retribution seemed almost too fast.

Chu Hao’s hands moved continuously as he unleashed barrage after barrage of Crescent Slashes.

His actual strength was no match for the three warriors, but the Starlight gave him an unstoppable capability, and the Silver Dragon Armor lifted his defensive power to an extent where Qiu Aiming and the others were helpless. This had led to the current situation.

All he had to do was launch aggressive attacks.

Qiu Aiming and the others were in disarray, scrambling around the confined space. Their room to dodge was extremely limited, sometimes even crashing into one another while trying to avoid the Crescent Slash, which was the epitome of discomfiture.

"I’ve said it before, don’t push it too far!" Chu Hao stated coldly.

"Chu Hao, don’t you push it too far!" Qiu Aiming said with difficulty, "Fighting over treasures is nothing out of the ordinary. Wherever we say this happened, we are not in the wrong. Now that you have what you came for, aren’t you going to stop?"

Chu Hao laughed heartily, "Do you even believe what you’re saying?"

"Do you really want to push this to the bitter end?" Lei Fu snorted, "Our Sects, although not as powerful as the Spirit Spring Sect, if we three were to really die here, don’t expect to walk away unscathed!"

Chu Hao shook his head, "Have you got poor memory, or do you think I’m the forgetful one? Who was it that just threatened to blast me to death here? Behind me, there is an Imperial-level Power, and all of you are fearless. Why then should I be afraid of your backing?"

"Are you pushing us to desperate ends?" Qiu Aiming roared.

"Chu Hao, we are all warriors and each of us has an Ultimate Technique. Push us too far and we’ll have no choice but to fight to the bitter end," Leng Qiongfang also said.

Chu Hao wore a broad smile, "I. Don’t. Believe. You!"

This guy was truly stubborn, immune to persuasion.

Qiu Aiming and the others exchanged looks, each with a measure of resolve in their eyes.

They had yet to use their Ultimate Moves, which could substantially enhance their Combat Power, but doing so would cost them dearly. Just like You Zhiyuan’s Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique, their moves were not that brutal, but using them would still significantly regress their Cultivation. The cost was not small.

Hence, all three of them were also scheming against each other, hoping someone would lose patience and be the first to unleash their Ultimate Move to eliminate Chu Hao. Then, the others could reap the benefits.

But because they were all waiting for someone else to make a big move, their situation only grew worse, all of them reaching the point where if they didn’t act, they’d be sliced to death by the Crescent Slash.

"Let’s all use our Ultimate Moves together!" Lei Fu glanced at Qiu Aiming and Leng Qiongfang, "Otherwise, I don’t mind taking you down with me."

Hearing his words, both Qiu Aiming and Leng Qiongfang felt a chill in their hearts, knowing Lei Fu wasn’t just making empty threats. They nodded slowly, their expressions utterly solemn.

"Burning Spring!"

Together, the three of them shouted, and boom, a terrifying power surged from their bodies, turning the small chamber into a vortex of energy. (To be continued.
