Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 314 - 304: Invincible Defense

Warriors, are those who have opened a Life Spring within their bodies, liquefying the Star Force and infusing it into the Life Spring. And when warriors fight desperately, they have a very effective tactic, which is to burn their Life Spring.

By burning the Life Spring, they experience a regression of a small realm, but during the process of burning the Life Spring, the Martial Artist’s strength can be significantly increased, at least by two tiers.

Under normal circumstances, even for a genius in the Warrior Realm, it takes two to three years to open each Life Spring and expand it. Moreover, the difficulty of reopening a burned Life Spring becomes several times harder.

Therefore, while acquiring surging power from burning the Life Spring is exhilarating, the price is almost unbearably painful. Unless absolutely necessary, no warrior would choose to do so.

But what does dropping a tier in cultivation matter in the face of life? Only by surviving does one possess limitless possibilities.

——Chu Hao, merely a Peak Martial Sect, had forced three Fourth Tier Warriors to burn their Life Springs together. Although it was with the help of the Silver Dragon Armor, it was still enough to make him proud.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrible power erupted from the bodies of Qiu Aiming and the other two, their strength astonishingly reaching the Six Springs level, an unknown number of times stronger than Chu Hao.

"Forcing us to burn our Life Springs, repay with your life!" Lei Fu said viciously, knowing that this power was temporary. Still, feeling the surge of ten times his strength gave him a sense of invincibility, as if he could crush everything before him.

He unleashed a punch, the Star Force transforming into a giant fist, hurtling directly towards Chu Hao.

The Silver Dragon Armor emitted a faint clear radiance, streaks of light flowing upon the armor, showcasing an incredibly exquisite texture.

Thump.

Despite the punch, Chu Hao stood proud and tall.

What, even the strength increased by two tiers still couldn’t break through the defense of the Silver Armor?

The expressions of Qiu Aiming and the others, originally fierce and terrifying, instantly froze, and then they were filled with immense fear. Burning the Life Spring was a warrior’s last and strongest method. But if even such a method was ineffective against Chu Hao, what could they do?

Continue to burn the Life Spring?

It was possible, but burning a second Life Spring would drastically reduce the effect, only about a 30 times increase. Burning a third would only yield a 60 times increase.

The fourth? They were joking. Their bodies could barely withstand the force multiplied by 60, let alone about a hundred times the force.

If it were Chu Hao with Body Cultivation, maybe it would be a different story.

The expressions on the three faces couldn’t be more awkward. They thought that by burning the Life Spring and significantly increasing their strength, they would finally be able to suppress Chu Hao. But they remained powerless against him.

This Treasure Armor!

They stared at the Silver Dragon Armor on Chu Hao’s body, their faces full of envy and regret. If they could possess this armor, they would be able to dominate the entire Warrior Realm. Yet now, they were forced by a Martial Sect to burn their Life Springs and still could not reverse the tide of defeat.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

"Chu Hao, I am willing to become your follower!" Lei Fu suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

Lei Fu, a True Disciple of the Baoyuan Sect, ranked 24th on the Fledgling Dragon List nine years ago. A genius wherever he went, ardently recruited by various forces, he was bound to become a War King and even had the potential to step further to become a War Venerate.

However, he was now bowing his head, willing to be a follower of a Martial Sect. If word got out, it would certainly shock people to death.

Qiu Aiming and Leng Qiongfang looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in the other’s eyes, and they also said, "I am willing to become your follower." Especially Leng Qiongfang, whose charming eyes were filled with seduction.

But Chu Hao simply shook his head and said, "I don’t need it!" These three weren’t truly willing to follow him, as soon as they left this place they might turn their backs on him. And even if they didn’t betray him after leaving, how could Chu Hao dare to keep three people with ulterior motives by his side, not fearing their sneak attacks?

He was a Body Cultivator with a strong physique, but the other three were also Warriors. If he did not have the Silver Dragon Armor, a protracted battle would see him worn down by the three.

So how could he possibly accept them?

"Chu Hao!" the three of them were furiously glaring, finding it unacceptable that even after they were willing to submit themselves as servants, Chu Hao still would not relent?

"Hmph, you think I don’t know what you’re up to?" Chu Hao waved his hands and unleashed a series of Crescent Slashes, "Your hearts are condemnable."

"You’ve gone too far, we’ll fight you to the end!" Qiu Aiming and the others roared, deploying their ultimate moves indiscriminately as they launched their attacks.

But facing the defense of the Silver Dragon Armor, these ultimate moves were child’s play, no different from messing around. No matter how much strength they exerted, it was still futile.

However, due to the surge in strength, they were also able to better resist the Starlight from Chu Hao. But such an improvement came at the cost of burning their Life Springs, how could it possibly make them happy?

The situation had momentarily reached a stalemate, with Qiu Aiming and his two companions at a loss against Chu Hao, and Chu Hao’s Crescent Slash temporarily unable to significantly injure the three of them.

At this point, Chu Hao stopped attacking.

If the enemy’s combat power had greatly increased, why waste energy at this time? The power boost gained from burning the Life Spring couldn’t last forever; he just needed to outlast their burning of the Life Spring.

"Damn it!" Qiu Aiming and the others quickly realized that Chu Hao wasn’t suddenly becoming a good person but rather wanted to let their Life Spring burn in vain! This infuriated them—had it been anyone else, they would have exploded them with a barrage of fierce attacks by now, but facing the defense of the Silver Dragon Armor, they were utterly helpless.

"I refuse to accept this! I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this at all!" After half an hour more of fighting, Lei Fu roared to the sky. His strength began to plummet as his first Life Spring was nearly burnt out.

Leng Qiongfang and Qiu Aiming were in a similar state, but they quickly burned their second Life Spring to boost their strength once more.

As long as they were alive, there was always hope.

Besides, they hoped the grand battle here would create enough noise to draw others over, disrupt the situation, and carve out a lifeline for them.

But to their disappointment, no fifth person appeared.

—They were unaware that at this moment in the city, a secret treasure had emerged, triggering a frenzied scramble among the masses. Who would pay attention to this place?

The third, the fourth—Qiu Aiming and his partners burned each of their Life Springs in succession, clinging desperately to life. But they had only four Life Springs in total; once the fourth Life Spring began to burn, they had no way out.

When the last Life Spring was exhausted, their strength would plummet to the Martial Sect Realm, and Chu Hao wouldn’t even need to use the Silver Dragon Armor. With his Double Great Perfection combat power, he could blast each of them away with a single punch.

The three were well aware of this and began breaking through desperately, but they only increased the number of wounds on their bodies against Chu Hao’s Starlight.

More than two hours later, Qiu Aiming and his companions finally reached a point of no return. The effects of the last burning Life Spring dissipated, and their strength rapidly dropped from the peak.

With a boom, Lei Fu was the first to explode from a punch, turning into a mist of blood, splattering on Qiu Aiming and Leng Qiongfang’s faces, terrifying them to their core.

Genius does not equate to fearlessness in the face of death.

On the contrary, with bright futures ahead of them, they were even less willing to die than ordinary people.

"No! No! No!" Qiu Aiming yelled, trying to pass by Chu Hao desperately, but his throat was sliced by the Starlight, and his head fell off abruptly. His headless body sprayed blood as it frantically flailed, running a considerable distance before crashing down heavily.

"Don’t kill me!" Leng Qiongfang suddenly knelt to the ground. "I can be your woman! No, I can be your slave! My master, I am willing to serve you for life, and I will do whatever you want me to do."

"Then go die!" Chu Hao punched out casually, and how could the current Leng Qiongfang block it? With a thud, the chest she was proud of caved in, her heart burst open.

She looked at Chu Hao in disbelief as her body slowly slumped down, extinguishing her life force.

Thump, Chu Hao too, sat down on the ground with a thud. He had been blasted and broken several bones earlier and had been fighting with injuries for so long. With broken bones piercing his flesh, the pain was almost turning his face black.

High Tier Warriors are truly difficult to kill!

He thought to himself. It was nothing like that white-robed man earlier; although also a Warrior, he had been directly blasted by a starlight.

—If anyone knew he was complaining about this, they would all roll their eyes at him.

After all, Qiu Aiming and the other two were all Fourth Tier Warriors. In normal circumstances, any one of them could have slapped Chu Hao to death with a simple palm strike, but now they had been killed by Chu Hao one by one, even after burning their Life Springs. It was an achievement that could drop jaws.

You still aren’t satisfied with your victory and complain about the difficulty, is there no justice left?

"Yo, this set of Battle Armor is more damaged than this old one expected," Fat Cat materialized and eyed the Silver Dragon Armor for a while before saying, "Hao, you need to take it easy. The use of this Battle Armor should not exceed one day each time; otherwise, these cracks will grow bigger and bigger, eventually leading to the Armors collapse."

Chu Hao was startled by Fat Cat’s initial words, but he relaxed upon hearing the one-day limit since there likely wouldn’t be any battle lasting that long for now.

"If you can still walk, we’d better leave quickly. Some fools have activated a Secret Treasure, loosening the Formation, and it’s likely that a wisp of the Great Killing God’s consciousness will awaken. This is no joking matter, and even I can’t withstand it," Fat Cat suddenly said.

"Eh, aren’t you the Controller of Black Iron City?" Chu Hao wondered.

"I only borrowed this place for a while; I don’t truly control the Formation’s hub—Hao, if you’re not going to skedaddle, never mind, but I don’t want to be scurrying away in panic later," Fat Cat said.

Chu Hao thought for a moment and said, "We should also call my senior sister and that gluttonous girl, right?"

"I’ll notify them," Fat Cat nodded, taking on the task. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
