Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 435 - 425: Another Innate Body Cultivator

Chu Hao continued to cultivate for a while, completely depleting his spiritual power before stopping.

He sensed his strength and it had indeed increased significantly, marking a qualitative leap. Another change was that his Starlight could now leave his body.

With a single thought, whoosh, a streak of Starlight immediately circulated out, playfully revolving around his body, but he could only control it within a three-meter range from his body.

This distance wasn’t enough for harming an enemy because the higher the level of battle, the farther the distance between the combatants, where long-range bombardments with powerful moves were common, with close-quarter combat being rare.

—If close combat did occur, it meant it was time for a life-and-death struggle.

However, within this limited three-meter space, the speed of the Starlight could be accelerated to an extremely fast pace, easily blocking incoming attacks. As a means of defense, this was quite impressive.

In this regard, those who broke through to Great Perfection in the Three Minor Realms held a significant advantage, as their Starlight was more condensed and had greater destructive power.

A standard War General might not be able to defend against the same attack, but a War General who had achieved Great Perfection, having come through the Three Minor Realms, could, as their Starlight’s lethality far exceeded those of the same tier.

Chu Hao revealed a smile, finally stepping into the War General Realm, standing on the same level as Su Wanyue, whom he had met at the beginning. However, he believed that this cold and aloof exceptional beauty must have become a War King by now.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to strive hard!

He stepped out of the house to see the villagers practicing martial arts on the open ground, while the Barbaric Girl was teasing the Fat Cat out of boredom. She had initially taken an interest in acting as a mentor, but within a few days, she grew bored.

These people couldn’t accompany her in a fight, which was utterly dull.

"Chu Hao!" Seeing him emerge, the girl immediately called out to him. With a leap, she sprang towards him, "Come on, spar with me, I’m so bored!"

Chu Hao, also feeling the urge to battle, nodded and went outside with her, engaging in a vigorous fight.

After more than two hours of battle, they called it quits, ending in a draw.

Chu Hao took advantage of this fight to initially adapt to his new Cultivation as a War General. However, he was currently only a War General in terms of Star Force level. His physique had yet to catch up, and there was no way around it, for his resources were depleted, no longer able to support the enhancement of his physique.

It seems that after leaving here, he would have to go to Medicine Valley first. The Dragon Tooth Rice had not only matured but had matured in more than one batch.

"Let’s ignore those two and go out to play, okay?" the girl suggested to Chu Hao, urging him. She had been here for almost ten days, bored to the point of exasperation.

"What if someone comes to attack?" Chu Hao asked.

Playing with her fingers, the girl said, "Anyway, I don’t like that vixen." Her face showed an uncontrollable look of longing, hoping that someone would come over and kidnap Demoness Gu, never to appear again.

One wonders if Demoness Gu would die of anger upon hearing these words since her charm apparently had its ineffective moments.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Now that I’ve come out of seclusion, I’ll guard for you, and you can go out and play. But don’t get too wild and make sure to come back within five days."

"You’re not coming with me?" The girl was first excited, then her expression turned to disappointment.

"Someone has to stay here, whether it’s you or me. You choose."

Whoosh, before Chu Hao could finish his sentence, the girl had already taken off running, disappearing over the horizon in an instant.

Chu Hao laughed heartily, returning to the village. Watching the villagers practice, he couldn’t help but nod inwardly. When it came to Body Technique, nobody was surpassing the Barbaric Girl, and he couldn’t teach them any better.

These villagers were luckier than he had been; he had a large quantity of High Tier beast meat, and since the Martial Disciple Realm didn’t cultivate Star Force, they could only rely on the food they consumed to enhance their bodily strength. Thus, High Tier beast meat was an ultimate supplement.

Moreover, although these villagers had often gone hungry, those who could survive under such harsh conditions were each of excellent physical quality. After satisfying their hunger, they all burst with astonishing potential.

In just the seven days Chu Hao was in seclusion, the fastest among them had astonishingly reached the Fourth Tier Martial Disciple!

Even Chu Hao was astounded at the pace.

"If they could be brought out, they might become a powerful support in the future," Fat Cat said. It paused before continuing, "Actually, it’s not impossible. Once their Cultivation reaches a certain height, they’ll be able to resist the suppression of the vast world, gradually adapting to it." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Chu Hao turned his head and asked, "What level of Cultivation would that be?"

"At least the War God, right?" Fat Cat replied, not very certain.

At least a War God?

Chu Hao shook his head. Unless this relic contained a massive amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, how difficult would it be to ascend to War God? Becoming a War God required not just excellent innate talent but also plentiful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for support—like breaking through the Warrior Realm or War General Realm, one needed to voraciously consume Spiritual Medicine for energy. Now, what colossal consumption would it take to break through to War God?

His mind raced with wild thoughts. According to Fat Cat, War God was not the pinnacle of martial arts, with several levels above it. So by this pattern of breakthroughs, what kind of terrifying energy support would you need to challenge the supreme Realm?

Could it possibly drain a whole planet dry?

Hmm?

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Chu Hao’s mind, as if he had grasped something, but just then, a strange cry from Fat Cat instantly caused the flash of inspiration to disappear without a trace.

Neither Gu Qingcheng nor Fu Xue could compare with Chu Hao. Even after Yun Cai had been playing around for five days and returned, the two women still hadn’t achieved a breakthrough. Fortunately, Chu Hao hadn’t wasted any time either. With a drop of Ethereal Liquid each day, plus the cumulative benefits from the baptism in the Ancestral Pool, his progress was soaring like a flight.

After the baptism in the Ancestral Pool, it took him only about 20 days to advance a minor realm within the Warrior Realm. Now that he had stepped into the War General Realm, naturally it would take a slightly longer time. But with the addition of Ethereal Liquid, he was confident after these days of cultivation that it would still take only 20 days for him to reach the peak of the First Tier War General.

On the thirteenth day, Gu Qingcheng finally made the initial breakthrough, advancing to War General, and on the sixteenth day, Fu Xue also came out of seclusion, becoming the last among their group of four to break through to War General.

In fact, being able to break through from Warrior to War General in sixteen days wasn’t slow at all. It’s just that their group was too exceptional, making Fu Xue’s originally outstanding talent seem ordinary.

It wasn’t just them who had made great progress; the villagers’ advancements were also quite terrifying. But what surprised Chu Hao the most was Zui Cheng’s sister, Zui Xinyan, who had actually crossed the Martial Disciple Realm—she was the one who had made the fastest progress before.

Yet, she couldn’t sense the Star Force at all!

This was actually quite normal; the vast majority of people couldn’t become martial masters, so Chu Hao felt a bit disappointed but wasn’t too surprised. However, what happened next... shocked him.

Because Zui Xinyan’s strength continued to rise!

A strength of a million pounds was the limit, unless one practiced Body Cultivation to continue.

But the problem was, unless one deliberately practiced Body Techniques and had an abundant supply of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, wanting to follow the path of a Martial Cultivator was simply infeasible.

Zui Xinyan’s Body Technique that she practiced was imparted by Yun Cai and indeed was a very good body refining technique, but as for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, she had none. She ate only ferocious beast meat every day, which although rich in energy, was far from being considered a Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure.

—Otherwise, wouldn’t Body Cultivation be too easy?

"Eh, could this little girl be an Innate Body Cultivator?" After realizing this point, Gu Qingcheng, Fu Xue, and even Fat Cat all became interested.

"That’s the only explanation, otherwise how could she so easily break through the limits of physical strength," Chu Hao nodded in agreement.

"This girl... is truly a treasure!" Gu Qingcheng immediately got excited, her eyes shining bright. If she could bring this girl back to the Gu Family, the help it would give to the family would be immense.

"Don’t get ahead of yourself, as it’s impossible for them to leave here for the time being," Chu Hao waved his hand in front of Demoness Gu.

"Darn it, can’t you let this miss look beautiful for a moment longer?" Gu Qingcheng grumbled discontentedly.

Chu Hao laughed heartily and said, "I wonder if there are other Innate Body Cultivators around here."

"That should be impossible; after all, they are all humans, and the chance of inheriting the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast is too slim, one in ten thousand," Fat Cat said on the side and then asked Yun Cai, "Girl, is there only one Innate Body Cultivator in your tribe?"

"Yes, I am one of a kind!" the girl immediately said with proud coquettishness.

As expected.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t believe it and continued to search, but indeed, she couldn’t find a second Innate Body Cultivator.

On the twentieth day of their stay in the village, they decided to set off and leave.

"Big brother, big sister, can you stay with us?"

"Yeah, it’s too dangerous outside; it’s better to live in our village."

The villagers tried their best to persuade them to stay. They were all very thankful for Chu Hao’s group, and not only had they fattened up a bit over these days, but they also possessed strength they could not have previously imagined.

Chu Hao left behind some Star Stones and six attributes of Star Force cultivation techniques. He had obtained quite a bit from that black building earlier and was even too lazy to leave copies, opting to give the real texts to the villagers instead.

In comparison to finding nearly 400 drops of earth’s core ethereal liquid thanks to their involvement, these few cultivation techniques were merely small favors.

"Let’s go!"

The group of four embarked on their journey, and when they looked back from a distance, they saw the villagers still standing at the entrance of the village, waving their hands incessantly, as if hoping they would suddenly change their minds and stay.

But whether it was them or the village behind them, it finally disappeared over the horizon.

Thousands of miles of red land stretched out, a picture of desolation.

Chu Hao and the others picked up their pace. Although they hoped to encounter more treasures like the earth’s core ethereal liquid, chances like that couldn’t be forced; they could only let nature take its course.

Three days later, they left the barren plain behind. Green plants started to appear in the distance, and as they moved forward the vegetation grew denser, followed by forests and large rivers. Life was ever more abundant.

"Eh?" "Hmm!"

Almost simultaneously, the four let out exclamations of surprise because the green column of light that had always been a distant landmark in the sky suddenly disappeared.
