Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 340 - 330: Battle with the Elder

"Quiet! Quiet!" Elder Xue shouted loudly, his forceful voice quelling all other noise immediately.

He glanced at Elder Jin somewhat displeased, "Have you lived all these years only to become a fool?"

Elder Jin immediately reacted, hastily saying, "Don’t listen to his nonsense!"

But the seeds of doubt had already been planted, as disciples from the Lower World all wore expressions of suspicion. In such matters, it’s better to err on the side of caution than to act as if nothing had happened. The crowd whispered among themselves, unable to calm down.

Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "I’ll give you three days to go back to your families and get the antidote for Ten Insect Powder. Otherwise, I will personally go to your families to demand it, and it won’t be so simple then."

"Chu Hao, I admit that you are extraordinary. To become a Warrior at just twenty might be the fastest record in history," Elder Xue said, "But you have just broken through. Remember, there’s always someone out there who’s better. Don’t be too arrogant."

Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back and said, "The opportunity has already been given to you."

"Chu Hao, who do you think you are talking to?" Elder Cao said angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"It seems that unless a few old men die, no one will believe my words," Chu Hao said, looking at Elders Cao, Jin, and Xue with an equally murderous gaze.

He thought of the Lower World disciples who had come here over thousands of years, who either died tragically or became slaves. This was an indescribable rage.

"What an arrogant lad!" Elder Xue said coldly.

"This lad is a disciple of the Spirit Spring Sect. If he dies here, there will be big trouble," Elder Jin murmured.

"Take him down and hand this hot potato over to the Spirit Demon Sect," Elder Cao immediately said.

"Such a wonderful plan! The Spirit Demon Sect’s number one talent died at the hands of Chu Hao; they certainly would want to take revenge," Elder Jin said with a laugh, clapping his hands.

Elder Xue also nodded. They obviously didn’t think Chu Hao could compete with them. They had broken through to be Warriors decades ago, and Elder Cao, the strongest among them, had even reached the Fourth Tier. How could they not suppress a Warrior who had just broken through?

This lad was so arrogant simply because he was under the banner of the Spirit Spring Sect, knowing they would hesitate to kill him.

Humph, let him realize that the world isn’t as simple as he thinks.

"Leave it to me," Elder Xue said as he stepped forward.

Elder Jin and Elder Cao both nodded; surely, the three of them together weren’t needed for this task.

"It’s a pity you aren’t a descendant of the Xue family," Elder Xue said looking at Chu Hao, sighing regretfully if the Xue family could produce a twenty-year-old Warrior, it would be a great fortune.

"However, no matter how monstrous you are, it’s useless. I am a Third Tier, and in front of me, you don’t stand a chance."

He extended his hand, and as the Star Force surged, a giant verdant hand formed, as large as a house, enveloping Chu Hao.

This was a show of strength over weakness, so he didn’t need to use any techniques, just pure strength to overpower.

Third Tier?

Chu Hao shook his head internally; he was at Double Great Perfection of the Three Minor Realms. Back in the Martial Sect, he already had the strength to crush ordinary First Tier Warriors. Now that he had broken through to be a Warrior, his strength was comparable to a fifth-tier.

A Third Tier Warrior dares to act so arrogantly in front of him?

He casually threw a punch, and boom, the terrifying force shook the air. Without needing any Spatial Physique, it shattered the giant Star Force Hand in midair.

The remaining energy radiated outwards in all directions. This was the power of a Warrior-level, powerful enough that, even when shattered, the residual force knocked down many people around.

Elder Xue took seven steps back, his face full of shock.

He had actually been defeated in a clash of strength; how was this possible? He was a Third Tier Warrior, but the opponent was just a First Tier—there should have been nearly ten times the difference in strength between them theoretically.

Just what breakthroughs of which Martial Sect and martial master lines did this lad achieve to have such formidable strength?

"This lad is not simple."

"Do not underestimate him!"

Elder Jin and Elder Cao both took on a solemn look, as experts know another’s prowess with a single action. Not to mention anything else, Chu Hao’s strength far surpassed that of a Third Tier Warrior, and as a genius, could his combat skills be poor?

They both stepped forward, apparently intending to join forces.

Chu Hao was completely unconcerned. If he were to wear the Silver Dragon Armor, his defensive power could even reach the level of a First Tier War General, and he could stand still and let all the warriors of the Yunliu Sect attack him without fear.

"Let’s all attack together, it might save some time."

Before, such a statement would have been considered arrogant, but after one exchange, who would dare to underestimate Chu Hao? Even the disciples of the Native Faction had to admit that Chu Hao was a monster, possessing the strength of an elder at just 20 years old.

Unprecedented, he was too powerful.

Elder Jin, Elder Cao, and Elder Xue surrounded Chu Hao, and the atmosphere immediately became incredibly tense, with three powerful individuals ready to make their move.

Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his composed demeanor forming a stark contrast with the solemnity of the Three Great Elders.

Xue Li, Zhao Huan, and other old acquaintances were at a loss for words. The young man they once knew had grown to such an extent that they could only look up to him, no longer on the same level.

"Make your move!" Elder Cao grunted, striking first.

Elder Xue and Elder Jin immediately followed suit, launching their attacks on Chu Hao.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—the fierce confrontation immediately unfolded, and to everyone’s shock, even the combined force of the Three Great Elders was still at a disadvantage, getting continuously blasted away by Chu Hao, who showed not a hint of a powerhouse’s demeanor.

How could he be this powerful?

Everyone was in disbelief, even the disciples from the Lower World looked dumbfounded.

Chu Hao didn’t need to use his full combat power; his strength, comparable to a Fifth Tier Warrior, was enough to suppress the Three Great Elders. Moreover, his body technique was on par with his Star Force, meaning it would take the strength of a Fifth Tier Warrior just to hurt him, and to injure him severely would take a very long time.

Among the Three Great Elders, the strongest was only Fourth Tier, unable to even hurt Chu Hao, let alone wound him.

Whiz, whiz, whiz, more shadows shot out, each exuding a powerful aura that prevented even Martial Sect experts from intervening.

Warrior, Warrior, Warrior—all of them were warriors. The Yunliu Sect’s warriors had all gathered, led by the current Sect Master Wu You, whose Eighth Tier Warrior aura was so overwhelming it made breathing difficult.

"Chu Hao!" Wu You roared in anger. Since reaching the Eighth Tier Warrior level, he rarely involved himself in the matters of the sect, focusing instead on breaking through to the War General level. However, that did not mean he no longer cared for the Yunliu Sect; in fact, he cared more than anyone and was eager to see the Yunliu Sect flourish under his leadership.

He had just received the news that Mo Guxin had been killed by Chu Hao, which naturally infuriated him, prompting him to immediately come to kill this person, wishing he could shred him into pieces.

Elder Cao, Elder Jin, and Elder Xue also stopped their attacks. Now with all ten warriors of the Yunliu Sect assembled, how could Chu Hao, monstrous as he was, stand against the combined force of ten warriors?

Moreover, Wu You, being an Eighth Tier Warrior, stood at the pinnacle of the Warriors.

"You ungrateful wretch, have you forgotten who brought you out from the Lower World? Who nurtured you, allowing you to have your strength today? Not only are you ungrateful, but you also massacre our sect’s disciples, you ingratitude-incarnate!" Wu You rebuked.

Hearing this, the disciples of the Native Faction were filled with righteous indignation, and even those from the Lower World showed uncomfortable expressions. Regardless of how extraordinary Chu Hao’s talents were, it now seemed he couldn’t escape being labeled ungrateful. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Don’t make it sound so righteous!" Chu Hao scoffed. "You know very well the atrocities you’ve committed! Did you really bring us from the Lower World just to nurture us?"

"Let me ask you, so many people have come over from the Lower World, has any one of them ever returned to the Lower World? Are they all the ingrates you speak of?"

This immediately resonated with the disciples from the Lower World. They never knew about this world before coming here. The Yunliu Sect has been recruiting disciples from the Lower World for thousands of years; why hasn’t anyone ever returned home?

Although not many leave, averaging less than one person per city per year, each one is an elite among elites, a genius among geniuses, never returning once they leave. Why has no one ever doubted this?

They had never thought about this question before because they were comfortably staying at the Yunliu Sect, with the broad path of martial arts before them, never thinking about returning.

But reaching a certain realm, when their cultivation could no longer rapidly advance, they would certainly think about going back. And even if not in their prime, surely they would want to return in their old age, as the saying goes, ’fallen leaves return to their roots.’

"Humph, the martial arts of the Lower World are primitive, with absolutely no prospects. The people here, the ones who survive the ordeals and challenges, are the elite of the elite. It’s only natural for those with a heart for martial arts to stay." Elder Cao immediately retorted.

Though somewhat exaggerated, it was not entirely implausible. Therefore, the expressions of the disciples from the Lower World somewhat calmed.

Wu You stepped forward, saying, "Chu Hao, you are heartless and ruthless, massacring your fellow disciples, and now you spread panic, do not force me to capture you!" He immediately launched an attack, not giving Chu Hao a chance to speak further, destabilizing the minds of the Lower World disciples.

In fact, even if the truth were revealed, they weren’t afraid of these Lower World disciples rebelling; most people are afraid of death. They just need to kill a few ringleaders, and wouldn’t the rest obediently comply? Moreover, every one of them had been dosed with Ten Insect Powder; were they afraid they could escape?

Moreover, even if everyone from the Lower World knew the true face of the Yunliu Sect, what could they do? Could they resist?

The Yunliu Sect was only worried that such a scandal would be known to other sects.

Therefore, he must quickly suppress Chu Hao. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it to points (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
