Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 415 - 405: Slaying Yue Feng

Chu Hao brandished the Deep Blue Sword.

His most powerful ultimate move wasn’t his fist technique, but his swordsmanship! It wasn’t that Dragon Fist was ineffective, but rather that it was tailored for those with the bloodline of the Dragon Race, and could only exhibit its strongest power in the hands of the Barbaric Girl.

Chu Hao himself preferred using a sword, too, but as his physique and realm improved, both Starlight and Green Flame would cause significant damage to the Deep Blue Sword, preventing him from using it frequently.

Fortunately, the piece of Red Flowing Gold he had obtained had already been taken to an exceptional Tool-Forging Master by He Luo. Although forging a fine sword would take a very long time, Chu Hao would have to stay in the relics for at least two to three years, which should be enough time to forge the Red Flowing Gold.

"Yue Feng, after this one sword strike, our grudge will be settled!" Chu Hao shouted, already unfolding the third style of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique.

Yue Feng didn’t dare to be careless and violently patted his chest. All the black fog instantly shook apart, turning into something like a long dragon, which he then absorbed into his mouth. His black hair stood on end, making him resemble a porcupine.

"Dark Demon Sword, Break Rivers and Mountains!" he also shouted, delivering his strongest sword move.

On the other side, the thunder dragon had already formed, lunging towards Yue Feng.

Boom! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

A loud sound echoed, and the furious energy surged. The other nine people on the stage had to open their defenses as well; otherwise, they would be disheveled by the aftermath, if not injured.

Who won, who lost?

Everyone was watching closely, only to see that atop the platform, Chu Hao and Yue Feng still stood ten meters apart, as if their last strike had been evenly matched. But just a moment later, a large amount of fresh blood could be seen flowing from underneath Yue Feng’s feet.

Thud, Yue Feng knelt down, his body swaying unsteadily, the look in his eyes completely gone.

Chu Hao sheathed his sword; Yue Feng’s lifeforce had already been severed by him, nobody could save him now.

"Leave the sword behind!" Just as Chu Hao was about to pick up Yue Feng’s greatsword, the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body suddenly spoke up, his voice calm, yet imbued with an indisputable chill.

Without slowing his movements, Chu Hao had already picked up the greatsword and placed it straight into the Mustard Seed Ring, then turned to the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body and said, "Are you ordering me?"

"It’s not an order, it’s giving you a way to live." The Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body said indifferently, radiating an aura akin to that of an immortal.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, "You mean if I don’t hand over this sword, you’ll kill me?"

"Correct," the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body nodded, "Between the sword and your life, you can only choose one."

It was true arrogance, and true confidence. Clearly having witnessed Chu Hao’s combat power, he still dared to issue such a threat. How terrifying must this person’s combat power be for him to be so bold?

"You three-eyed freak, I’ll fight you!" The Barbaric Girl immediately leaped out. For someone as battle-thirsty as her, such a worthy opponent was too rare to pass up.

"Eh!" "Hm!" "Ah!"

Exclamations rang out as, astonishingly, golden light emitted from the ten chairs on the platform, resplendent and mysterious.

Chu Hao immediately reacted, calling out to the girl, "Get back to your seat quickly!"

The hourglass ran out, and Qi Luck descended!

The Barbaric Girl naturally trusted Chu Hao immensely, and although reluctant, she immediately returned to her seat, while Chu Hao didn’t waste any time and seated himself in the chair as well.

The Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body hesitated briefly, debating whether to kill Chu Hao or to first take his seat. With his decisive character befitting a genius, he quickly made his decision and returned to his seat.

—People can be killed later, but such an opportunity, once missed, may never come again.

Golden light swirled around them, yet Chu Hao felt not the slightest change.

Wasn’t it supposed to be Qi Luck descending upon him?

He took out his golden pupil eye, and upon looking, he saw streams of golden breath converging towards him from all directions into his body.

Is this Qi Luck?

Invisible and intangible, yet it could change a person’s destiny.

At that moment, their seats were also surrounded by golden light, forming a ring that isolated them into their own independent realms. Others who wanted to come up found they couldn’t leap onto the platform, as if an invisible barrier separated them.

Boom, a loud blast came from afar, as a green column of light shot up into the sky. Although the distance was unknown, it was clearly visible.

"The second challenge has begun!"

"Let’s go, let’s set off quickly."

Now that the platform was out of reach, there was no sense in staying put any longer.

The crowd surged forward in a flash, leaving only a few behind, people like Gu Qingcheng, Fat Cat, and Fu Xue naturally stayed to wait for Chu Hao and the Barbaric Girl, while Jiang Qixuan, Qin Yulian, Wu Shitong and others, due to more distant relations, had already set off on their journey.

Aside from Chu Hao receiving a hint from Fat Cat, knowing that these invisible golden auras were Qi Luck—Qi Luck that only works in this place, others were clueless. Seeing everyone else already on their way while they were still sitting idle, they couldn’t help but grow anxious.

Some wanted to leave but found that the light columns surrounding the seats trapped them like a prison. With their strength, they couldn’t break free and could only sit down helplessly, waiting for it all to end.

Fat Cat couldn’t help but lament the missed opportunity, thinking if these people had left halfway through, the Qi Luck they received couldn’t compare to that of Chu Hao’s. Competing for fortune here would be far inferior to Chu Hao.

One day and one night later, the blessing of Qi Luck finally ended, the golden radiance dissipated, and several people immediately leaped down from the platform and soared toward the distant green light column.

They were already a day behind everyone else, naturally, they could not afford to waste any more time.

The Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body stared at Chu Hao for a while and said, "I’m giving you one last chance, hand over that sword!"

"You want it? Fight for it!" Chu Hao was full of fighting spirit, instinctively feeling that this person was his strongest opponent at the Warrior Realm.

"My name is Demon Heaven. This time, I’ll let you off the hook, but next time we meet, I will take your head!" the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body said coldly, his figure leaping fiercely towards the direction of the green light column.

Although he was confident in his invincibility at the Warrior Realm, defeating Chu Hao would not be a quick affair, and since he was already a day behind, he naturally didn’t want to fall further behind. The urgent matter at hand was to reach the green light column, where there clearly lay a true opportunity, unlike here, which for some reason, trapped the ten strongest people for a whole day.

Could this place favor the weak?

"Hao, how can you stand this? Hurry and chase after him and fight!" Having leaped down from the platform, Gu Qingcheng immediately started to rile things up.

"Junior brother, we should also set off," Fu Xue said.

Chu Hao nodded. The relic might be open for as long as three years. Therefore, there was no rush to fight; there would be plenty of opportunities later.

They set off, traversing the vast grassland. Even though it seemed boundless, the green light column was too conspicuous to miss, and there was no chance of losing direction; all they needed to do was keep moving towards it.

But after just fifteen minutes of walking, they saw the green grass ahead appeared extremely disordered, as if there had been a great battle. Following the traces, they quickly came upon a corpse lying on the ground.

"Hmm?"

Chu Hao and the others were puzzled. It should be time to hurry on the journey; there was no need for disputes. Could it be that the victim and the killer were enemies to begin with—sworn enemies on sight—and hence the battle to the death erupted?

"No!" After inspecting the body, Fu Xue said, "There are clear claw marks and bite wounds on his body; he must have died at the hands of some ferocious beast."

Ferocious beasts?

Chu Hao went up to investigate, and surely, there were several obvious claw marks on the man’s body, which couldn’t possibly have been made by human hands, and his fatal wound was on his neck, where his windpipe had been brutally bitten through, a common killer move used by ferocious beasts.

"There are ferocious beasts here?!" Realizing this, everyone appeared quite surprised.

"We need to be careful. The ferocious beasts capable of killing a Warrior must be of at least equivalent level; we can’t be careless," Chu Hao said gravely, although he was confident in his near invincibility at the Warrior Realm, who knew if a beast equivalent to the tenth flow physique, at Peak Warrior level might emerge from the relic?

Confidence and arrogance are two different things.

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t help but move closer to the Barbaric Girl, which greatly annoyed the girl as she said, "Vixen, why are you sticking to me? Careful, or I might just crush you with a single move."

Her threat was not empty. Without employing Star Force defense, a Star Force Cultivator’s physique is only at Martial Disciple level, while during combat, a Body Cultivator would inevitably erupt with qi, and with the Barbaric Girl’s Warrior-level physique, her qi was so powerful that it could crush even a fully defensive Peak Martial Sect. Gu Qingcheng was truly risking her life by getting so close to her.

Gu Qingcheng immediately stuck out her tongue. She initially thought of the girl as a naturally durable shield given her Body Cultivation but didn’t expect the girl herself to be a major weapon, nearly causing her own downfall.

She looked around and, lifting her lotus steps, moved closer to Chu Hao.

"Hey, hey, hey, men and women don’t get so intimate; don’t come so close to me, I’m not that kind of guy!" Chu Hao blabbered.

"Oh, it seems like I’ve held you before. Why didn’t you talk about proper conduct between men and women back then?" Gu Qingcheng snorted.

"What, what?" Fu Xue’s interest was immediately piqued, and she pressed for details, "Junior brother, you and she—you guys—" Her eyes darted back and forth, and then she "oh"-ed, showing an understanding look.

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Chu Hao’s face flushed red; the experience of turning into a baby was a dark Chapter in his history.

"Humph, that dead cat has already confessed."

"Fat Cat—" Chu Hao glanced over, and Fat Cat, perched on the Barbaric Girl’s shoulder, indifferently said, "A man should stand by what he does, what’s there to fear? Just marry the demoness if it comes to that."

"You hear that? With the witness here, are you still going to deny it?" Gu Qingcheng growled.

Now that the truth was out, Chu Hao actually felt relieved inside. He strived for a clear conscience in his actions but had always felt guilty about Gu Qingcheng. With the weight lifted off his shoulders, his spirit seemed to ascend, and suddenly, his Star Force surged.

"Damn, I’ve broken through!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and support me. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
