Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 417 - 407: Ten Springs
Three days later, Chu Hao successfully opened the tenth Life Spring, reaching the Great Perfection of the Warrior Realm.
However, just like the Great Perfection of the martial master, the Great Perfection of the Warrior Realm did not bring any special changes; it just made him stronger. Fat Cat had previously said that only when all three Middle Realms are at Great Perfection can one form a black hole-like presence within their body, absorbing any incoming force.
The Great Perfection of the Warrior Realm was just one condition met.
That was fine, everything starts with the first step, and besides, he only needed to take three steps, having already completed one third.
When he opened his eyes, he was startled.
Because there were a bunch of ferocious beasts crouching all around him, including a silver tiger with wings, a giant worm over a hundred yards long, and a flying creature with two wolf heads, as if he had entered a Ferocious Beast Garden.
"What’s going on?" he asked.
"Hahaha, this is all thanks to someone’s hard work!" the Barbaric Girl said proudly, riding atop a formidable golden War Wolf.
"Yun Cai can tame beasts, as if she were the king of all beasts," Fu Xue explained.
Chu Hao was amazed; was this the power of the Dragon Race’s bloodline, being able to command all beasts? He looked towards Fat Cat, who nodded at him, confirming his guess was correct.
"However, there’s no meat left to eat!" The Barbaric Girl suddenly looked dejected. Though she was greedy, these ferocious beasts were too submissive, and she felt too guilty to eat them, greatly dampening her spirits.
Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh. Had it been someone else, they would have been overjoyed at the ability to tame beasts, such a powerful capability. Only the girl would regret that these had become her underlings, feeling sorry because it was impolite to eat them.
"This is not bad either; having mounts means we don’t need to walk ourselves." He jumped onto a fierce, one-horned red-eyed Barbaric Ox, which snorted at him resentfully as it turned its head back.
Chu Hao snorted softly, releasing the aura of the Ten Springs, instantly subduing the Barbaric Ox, making it obedient.
"Let’s go." The four of them hit the road again, but this time they were accompanied by a large group of ferocious beasts, marching impressively behind them with an astonishing presence.
Although they were three days late, with the ferocious beasts as their mounts and no need for rest stops along the way, and with no other ferocious beasts coming to attack them, they traveled smoothly and managed to catch up with the slowest ones in just one day.
Those people turned pale when they saw at least several hundred ferocious beasts rushing towards them, thinking that their end had come and were preparing to fight desperately. However, they realized that these beasts were simply passing by them, and they could faintly hear mischievous laughter and see a few people riding the beasts. By the time they wanted to take a closer look, the beasts were already out of sight.
No one had the courage to chase after these ferocious beasts to find out the truth, and having narrowly escaped death, they all wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, silently feeling extremely fortunate.
All this, of course, was the Barbaric Girl’s doing.
She had a playful nature; now that she could command hundreds of beasts, how could she not be excited? And naturally, she had to show off in front of others. She had caused chaos in the Spirit Spring Sect before, and here her destructive power was undiminished.
"Roar!" A terrifying beast’s roar suddenly erupted, causing all the beasts to immediately stop, prostrate themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling, displaying their panic.
"What the hell is that, daring to scare my pets!" the Barbaric Girl exclaimed in anger, leaping down from the golden War Wolf.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Far away, a silver-white point of light appeared, followed by rapid approach, its footsteps resonating with the heaviness of thunder. It was a silver Giant Ape, a hundred meters tall, covered in silver fur, with... four arms!
"Six-Armed Silver Ape!" Fat Cat spoke, his tone carrying a trace of surprise, "This is an ancient species with a Divine Beast bloodline."
"It clearly has four arms!" the Barbaric Girl counted and said.
"This Six-Armed Silver Ape’s bloodline is not pure, so it has only four arms. If its bloodline could further evolve, it would grow a fifth and sixth arm," Fat Cat paused then continued, "If it were a true Six-Armed Silver Ape, it would at least be a War God. With just a glare, we would be wiped out."
Gu Qingcheng was shocked and said, "At least a War God? Are there even stronger beings above War God?" She had only heard such things mentioned occasionally by the elders of her clan, but her inquiries were always quickly diverted.
"Yes," Chu Hao nodded and said, "But for now, let’s deal with this Ferocious Ape. It’s clearly hostile."
"That’s natural!" Fat Cat laughed, "This Six-Armed Silver Ape has a trace of Divine Beast bloodline and reigns as the king of this area, commanding all the ferocious beasts. But you’ve taken away its followers, could it not be angry being the boss?"
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes sparkled as she said to the Barbaric Girl, "Yunyun, if you can tame this big monkey and let it follow me, then I can command the Hundred Beasts and become a queen!"
"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!" Chu Hao shook his head.
"Why?" Gu Qingcheng huffed, "Are you jealous of me?"
"Roar!" Just then, the Six-Armed Silver Ape had stopped in front of them, roaring at the Hundred Beasts, which intensified their fear as they lay prostrate on the ground, continuously making subdued roars.
"Hey, what are you growling at?" the Barbaric Girl jumped out, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the Six-Armed Silver Ape, "Careful, or I’ll beat you up for scaring my pets!"
Phew!
The Six-Armed Silver Ape immediately swung an arm toward the girl, the gust roared, and the massive black arm seemed to blot out the sun.
"Waaah, who’s scared now!" the girl screamed, throwing her fist to meet the attack.
Boom—a human and an ape, their fists differing drastically in size, collided, instantly triggering a series of sonic booms that shattered the surrounding green grass instantly. But when the giant ape withdrew its arm, the girl had vanished from her spot, as she had been completely driven into the soil.
"Damn it!" the girl roared angrily, Boom—the soil scattered, and she burst out, her hands transforming into dragon claws instantaneously as she dashed toward the giant ape.
The giant ape paused for a moment, then immediately displayed a look of ecstasy. Even as a different species, Chu Hao and the others could see its emotion clearly. It too let out a roar and danced its forearms, attacking the girl.
"Why isn’t it suppressed by Yun Cai’s lineage?" Gu Qingcheng looked very disappointed. If the girl could subdue that gorilla, she’d have an impressive lackey later on.
"It’s a Divine Beast too, isn’t it?" Fat Cat disdainfully spat out, "Though there are stronger and weaker Divine Beasts, they’re fundamentally the same and can’t be suppressed merely with lineage."
So that was it.
Chu Hao then said, "Why does this giant ape seem suddenly very happy?" Such joy was even clear to them as humans.
"Because if it devours that girl, this fellow might experience a lineage evolution and might even evolve to Five Arms or Six Arms." Fat Cat explained.
Six Arms would make it a War God!
"There is strength variance among Divine Beasts but no hierarchical suppression because a weak Divine Beast could immediately supplant a strong one if it’s lucky enough to devour it," Fat Cat explained, then promptly drooled, "The Divine Beast lineage, huh? This gorilla must taste delicious."
Turns out, it’s a foodie too.
The girl and the giant ape’s fierce battle echoed the way of ferocious beasts, generally following the path of Body Cultivation, with astonishing endurance and formidable physique, where the body itself is the most powerful weapon. Especially since the giant ape had four arms, waving them like windmills, its attack pace relentless, its oppressive force immense.
Usually, the girl held a physical advantage in battle against humans, but against the giant ape, that advantage vanished because its opponent also had Divine Beast lineage, equivalent to an Innate Body Cultivator.
If it were the Golden Giant Dragon against the Six-Armed Silver Ape, undoubtedly the Golden Giant Dragon would overpower it—Golden Giant Dragon is a top tier even among Divine Beasts.
However, just as Chu Hao’s Taiyang Body was first-rate, it was currently only ranked Fifteenth Flow because that was just the potential limit he could reach.
The same went for now; the Barbaric Girl would undoubtedly outclass her limit, but in the current situation, she and the giant ape were nearly equal, their Divine Beast lineage both pitifully sparse. No use talking about the second when the leader is hardly better.
Hence, their confrontation solely depended on individual strength; whoever was stronger would win, lineage would make no difference.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The small body of the Barbaric Girl contained terrifying power, like a nuclear weapon, her punches tearing apart the air, creating shockwaves that recklessly damaged the environment.
"This place’s space seems a bit unstable," Chu Hao noted, looking at the sky.
"Of course, it’s a Minor World after all. With incomplete Laws, it can’t be too stable," Fat Cat said.
If this wasn’t a Minor World, they wouldn’t have Qi Luck blessings. Such an ability could only be wielded by Heaven and Earth.
"Hao, you jump in and help; this is a Divine Beast, a great source of nourishment!" Fat Cat started drooling again, "Even back in the day, I never got to eat a Divine Beast. I can’t believe I can feast here."
"Weren’t you incredibly mighty and awesome back then?" Chu Hao chuckled.
"Nonsense. In my era, although there were many Divine Beasts, which one didn’t have a formidable Lao Tzu, grandfather, great-grandfather at its beck and call? If I ate a small one and summoned the elder’s wrath, what would I do?" Fat Cat glared disdainfully.
Eating someone’s progeny wasn’t as simple as stealing Spiritual Medicine or rare birds; no wonder even Fat Cat, as daring as it was, dared not make a move. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Yet, having heard Fat Cat, Chu Hao felt a bit tempted. What did Divine Beast taste like, exactly?
He called out loudly, "Yun Cai, hold back. Let me handle this."
"No, I can smash it!" the girl stubbornly said.
"Don’t you want to eat meat quickly?" Chu Hao laughed, knowing that food was the way to handle a foodie.
Sure enough, the girl immediately backed off, leaping back and saying, "Then you better be quick, I’m starving!" (to be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to recommend and support us at qidian.com. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
