Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 416 - 406: The Beast Horde Attacks

After being baptized in the Ancestral Pool, Chu Hao’s cultivation could be said to have increased at an incredible pace. Every day brought significant progress, and within the next year, it was extremely likely he would reach the status of a Peak War General, or perhaps even break through to War King.

But he never anticipated that at this moment, with one thought achieved, his cultivation would also surge dramatically. The ninth Life Spring, which had only expanded halfway, now reached its limit in the blink of an eye. Inside him, there was an eager stirring, as if the tenth Life Spring was also yearning to be opened.

Is this the advantage of being blessed with Qi Luck?

Chu Hao couldn’t explain it. Cultivating the Life Springs wasn’t something that could be accomplished in a day or two, yet here he was at the critical juncture of contending for opportunities. He had to seclude himself to impact the Ten Springs—was this a blessing or a curse?

It was definitely a good thing. He immediately confirmed to himself that the goal of entering the relics to explore was to enhance one’s strength, wasn’t it?

"I am going to impact the Ten Springs, you guys go ahead first," Chu Hao said. He didn’t want to delay anyone else’s time.

"No way, it’s too dangerous here, you can’t seclude yourself alone," Fu Xue immediately shook her head.

"I’ll protect you!" the Barbaric Girl said cutely.

Gu Qingcheng also nodded, "You owe me too much. I can’t let you die just yet. You have to settle your debts first."

Since they all said so, Chu Hao was not going to stand on ceremony. "I’ll be as quick as I can."

He immediately sat down cross-legged and took out many Spiritual Medicines from his Mustard Seed Ring. Opening a Life Spring consumed a great deal of energy, and without the support of Spiritual Medicine, the effort would be halved. Of course, he had just undergone the baptism of the Ancestral Pool, and the benefits had not yet been fully exhausted, so his need for Spiritual Medicine was not that great.

Thunderous noises arose as earth-shattering changes occurred within his body.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingcheng, the Barbaric Girl, and Fu Xue sat around, bored. At the suggestion of a food lover, they happily took out various meats and began an outdoor barbecue. As a foodie, the girl had prepared plenty of ingredients, and the fragrances quickly filled the air.

"Are we being a little too ostentatious?" Gu Qingcheng began to feel reflective after eating for a while. There were ferocious beasts in the area, and yet they were barbecuing—weren’t they just attracting the beasts?

"No, if you’re hungry, of course you should eat," the Barbaric Girl said, her eyes wide with innocence.

"If they come, we’ll just beat them away!" Fu Xue said as she patted her hammer, her face full of nonchalance.

Well, Gu Qingcheng facepalmed. Although she was also the type to cause trouble, compared to these two, she seemed almost normal.

"Huh?" The Barbaric Girl suddenly stopped eating and pointed towards a bush, "There is something over there."

"What is it!" Gu Qingcheng jumped in fright and was about to move closer to the girl, but then she remembered the previous comment. She didn’t want to end up beaten to a pulp by this girl who was like an Ancient Fierce Beast, so she immediately shrank back.

"It’s something interesting," Fat Cat interjected. Its Divine Sense was far stronger than the three girls.

Rustling noises came from the bushes as something approached them.

Fu Xue immediately raised her hammer, ready for battle.

The noise from the bushes grew closer, and a moment later, a red creature appeared in front of the three girls. It was only the size of a palm, resembling a squirrel with fluffy fur that was irresistibly cute, and sharp little teeth like grains of rice peaking out when it opened its mouth.

"So cute!" Gu Qingcheng’s eyes immediately sparkled as women are so vulnerable to such cuteness.

The Barbaric Girl, however, looked it over with a foodie’s eyes and, with a disappointed pout, said, "There’s too little meat on it, not tasty!"

Fu Xue sighed. The tiny creature had made her battle instinct plummet, and she lost interest in attacking.

"Don’t underestimate it," Fat Cat said at that moment, "That’s not its real form."

"Not its real form?" Gu Qingcheng asked curiously. This clearly looked like a little squirrel, didn’t it?

"Hit it with your palm and see," Fat Cat suggested.

Gu Qingcheng quickly shook her head, "It’s too cute; I can’t do it."

"I’ll do it!" The Barbaric Girl didn’t care and immediately clenched her fist, blasting towards the crimson squirrel from afar. She was a warrior-level Body Cultivator. Even without the ability to project Star Force externally, her punch that shook the air was still full of destructive power, causing the green grass around to lay down in swathes.

"Ah!" Gu Qingcheng screamed, hardly believing her eyes.

The green grass behind the crimson squirrel collapsed under the impact of the punch, revealing that the squirrel’s tail was connected to a long "tube". On closer inspection, it was a long snake, over ten meters long and thick as a barrel.

This snake was truly strange, with a squirrel’s head on the tip of its tail.

"This is an Illusionary Serpent; its tail can morph into various forms," Fat Cat explained from the side.

Gu Qingcheng felt disgusted. She had just wanted to hug the little squirrel, but in reality, it was a blood-colored snake, which made her skin crawl.

"Snake meat soup," the Barbaric Girl said, her mouth watering as her eyes lit up with the unique glow of a food lover.

"Kill!" But the first one to charge forward was Fu Xue. She was an absolute zealot for fighting.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the hammer swung with forceful winds. She was like a female war god rushing towards the Illusionary Serpent.

"Indeed, a battle body is unmatched; after each fight, there is some increase in strength, something no other physique can compare with." Fat Cat clicked its tongue in praise.

Hiss!

The Blood Serpent flicked its red tongue and immediately coiled its tail before lashing out at Fu Xue like a whip.

"Good timing!" Fu Xue’s fighting spirit soared, her War Hammer swinging wildly in attack without defense, truly the fighting style of a Female Tyrannosaurus.

She was strong, but the Blood Serpent was not weak either. The battle between the woman and the serpent caused massive destruction; powerful gusts sliced the green grass all around, sending it flying through the air.

After battling for over ten minutes, the Blood Serpent seemed to recognize that Fu Xue was not an easy opponent and started to beat a retreat, coiling its tail and turning to flee.

"Don’t run, my snake soup!" The Barbaric Girl quickly chased after it, her suddenly unleashed speed terrifyingly fast. In a flash, she caught up with the Blood Serpent and firmly grasped its tail with both hands.

She was as heavy as a mountain, and with her grip, the Blood Serpent started hissing in distress, struggling in vain to break free.

In desperation, the Blood Serpent immediately coiled its body around the girl’s, intent on crushing her to death.

"Hahaha, you want to compete in strength with me?" The girl laughed loudly, pushed with her hands, and effortlessly forced the serpent’s body open.

This sight almost popped the eyeballs of Gu Qingcheng and Fu Xue. To be able to escape a serpent’s coils with such ease was terrifying strength indeed!

The Blood Serpent naturally didn’t want to be turned into snake soup; its head lunged back to bite the girl viciously. As a ferocious beast, it possessed not only immense strength but also a deadly venom.

"Yuck!" The girl covered her nose with one hand while the other fist thundered out.

Boom! Struck by the fist, the Blood Serpent staggered and fell down, instantly knocked unconscious by the blow.

The girl’s brute strength was truly extraordinary.

"I’ve got snake soup to eat!" the girl cheered, clapping her hands.

"...Didn’t you just eat a huge amount of food?" Gu Qingcheng pointed out.

"But I got hungry again after the fight!" the girl said, touching her stomach with a pitiful look.

"Roar!" Just then, a low roar was heard, and a crimson tiger sprang out from the bushes. It was ten meters long and four meters tall, with a green unicorn on its forehead.

"A Ground Tiger!" Fat Cat exclaimed softly. "This tiger is quite good, possessing a trace of an Ancient Barbaric Beast’s bloodline. It’s highly nourishing." As it spoke, it couldn’t help but drool a little.

"Wow, my tiger stew!" The Barbaric Girl immediately dropped the Blood Serpent and attacked the Ground Tiger.

Bang, bang, bang, bang! After a chaotic fight, the Ground Tiger also fell under the girl’s fists.

But before they had time to gather their spoils, more roars of beasts rang out, and now a White-Backed Giant Elephant and a Golden-Maned Two-Winged Lion appeared.

"Wow, couldn’t you have come later? I haven’t even started eating yet!" The girl was furious. To a foodie like her, the more meat, the better, but she needed time to eat – if she couldn’t eat, more was useless.

"Not good, there are too many ferocious beasts around, coming from every direction." Gu Qingcheng flew on her sword, took a look around from the sky before landing, and said in a very serious tone.

"What do we do now? My Junior Brother is still in seclusion here." Fu Xue frowned, "We can only stand our ground."

"What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll just turn them all into my dinner!" the girl said with an imposing attitude.

"Roar!" A giant serpent with a pair of golden wings pounced at them—it was flying!

"An Illusionary Serpent, another species descended from ancient times," Fat Cat commented.

"Kill!" The girl’s ferocious nature burst forth, and she charged forth, slaughtering left and right.

More and more ferocious beasts appeared, and although none of them broke the limits of a Warrior, their combat power was growing stronger. Some were even comparable to beings of the Ten Springs, and even the girl’s brute strength was outmatched, getting knocked away by a swipe of their paws.

This made the girl infuriated, and she finally got serious. Her bloodline power surged, and her hands instantly transformed into dragon claws. Her petite figure emitted an ancient and primitive aura, formidable as if an emperor had descended.

"Whimper!" All of the ferocious beasts lay prostrate at the same time, their ferocity gone, each of them trembling.

"Golden Giant Dragon bloodline, the king among ferocious beasts, inherently noble!" Fat Cat marveled. Just as human emperors can command the world, the Golden Giant Dragon was the king of all beasts and held a prestigious position among Divine Beasts.

The hierarchy within the beast world was even stricter. Once the girl’s Golden Giant Dragon bloodline was activated, it immediately suppressed these ferocious beasts on a fundamental level, making them unable to muster any will to resist.

"Hey, why aren’t you fighting anymore?" the girl suddenly found it boring.

"I never thought you’d have such a skill," Gu Qingcheng’s eyes lit up, "Yun Cai, let’s establish a Ferocious Beast Kingdom in the future. We’ll be the queens and conquer all the stinky men in the world to be our slaves."

"I don’t want that, I want to eat meat!" the girl looked at all the beasts on the ground, drooling. Her nature as a foodie was burning fiercely. (To be continued.
