Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 427 - 417 Terrible Elemental Transformation
This was clearly a Treasure Artifact, and moreover, it was a Treasure Artifact from Ancient Times.
Because most of the Treasure Artifacts cast in the current era take the form of various weapons, only those from Ancient Times would come in a variety of shapes like pagodas, mirrors, and umbrellas. Moreover, it must be admitted that the power of Ancient Treasure Artifacts far exceeds that of today’s.
The ancient pagoda immediately emitted a beam of light, firing it towards Chu Hao at an incredibly fast speed.
Bitch!
Chu Hao cursed inwardly, obviously, it was this guy who first brought out the Treasure Artifact, yet he incredibly had the gall to turn the tables. Can’t you freaking understand the power of the Taiyang Body and just spew nonsense? But he was fearless, with Elemental Transformation unfolding, his chest immediately turned into an intangible flame.
Pff!
The beam hit but merely passed through him as if he were transparent.
- The speed of the light emitted by the Treasure Pagoda reached the War General level, but it had no special power, thus posing no threat to Elemental Transformation.
"Demon Heaven, you really can’t stand losing!" Chu Hao huffed, "I really overestimated you!"
"Would I be swayed by your sophistry?" Demon Heaven sneered, "You think to disturb my dao heart with such low tricks; it’s truly despicable!"
The people around didn’t know who to believe, whether Chu Hao had already used an Ancient Treasure Tool to neutralize Demon Heaven’s lethal strike, or if Demon Heaven, enraged by shame, had first brought out the Treasure Artifact and then spun it around.
"Wahhh, this guy is too shameless, I’m going to beat him up!" the Barbaric Girl shouted and was about to rush forward.
"Don’t!" Gu Qingcheng hurriedly grabbed her. If she really went up, then everyone would surely side with Demon Heaven, and even what was white would turn black. However, the girl was so strong that despite being held back, she was dragging the whole person forward.
Fu Xue also quickly grabbed the girl from the other side, and with both women persuading, they finally managed to stop the indignant girl.
"Hmph, Elemental Transformation, eh? How large of an area can you transform?" Demon Heaven once again set the Treasure Pagoda in motion, whoosh whoosh, this time sending out two beams of light simultaneously aiming for Chu Hao’s forehead and chest.
As Chu Hao charged forward, he continued to transform his head and chest elementally.
The beams once again hit nothing.
"Hey, hey, did you see? This guy can actually transform his head and chest at the same time!"
"And the parts he transforms are pretty large too!"
"My god, how pure must this guy’s bloodline be to do this!"
"Chu Hao? Could he be from the Chu Family of the Fire State?"
"No, no, no, our Chu Family definitely doesn’t have this person. Otherwise, with such a frightening bloodline, it’s impossible that I wouldn’t know of him!"
Everyone was shocked by Chu Hao’s level of Elemental Transformation, speculating about his identity, but someone from the Chu Family promptly declared that he was not one of their kin.
In fact, members of the He Family were also present, but they had all been instructed by the clan elders to not reveal Chu Hao’s identity until he acknowledged his ancestry and returned to the clan.
Think about it, for the primary heir to the next Family Head to not even have the surname He, wouldn’t that be laughable if word got out?
"Hmph!" Demon Heaven continued to stimulate the Treasure Pagoda, this time firing three beams of light.
Chu Hao transformed three parts of his body simultaneously and, almost without stopping, had already closed in on Demon Heaven.
He swung a heavy punch out towards his opponent.
Demon Heaven could only take it head-on, and with a bang, both men staggered several steps backward from the collision. But this time Chu Hao had activated another capability of his physique, with the Flame Furnace refining the great deal of power from his opponent. He steadied himself after only five steps, while Demon Heaven was forced back thirteen steps.
The advantage was already clear.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, this time the Treasure Pagoda fired four beams of light.
Misfire!
Five beams... still a misfire! Six, seven, eight, nine beams!
"My god, what kind of freak is this guy!"
"Is he really a Warrior?"
"No, no, no, even if he were a War Venerate... how many could Elemental Transform to this extent?"
"This guy’s bloodline is so strong it’s practically unprecedented. I estimate that if he reaches War Emperor level, there might be only a part the size of a hand that he can’t transform elementally."
"...Do you realize what this means?"
"What?"
"This guy might break the fate of the Gu Clan and become a War God!"
"— Correct! The hallmark of a War God is full-body Elemental Transformation, and he really might nearly achieve this step at the War Emperor level. Then, advancing further and breaking the destiny becomes much more feasible."
"Perhaps, we will all witness a miracle."
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the Treasure Pagoda finally fired ten beams of light in one go, reaching Chu Hao’s limit. He was forced to bring out the Silver Dragon Armor.
Pff pff pff pff, the beams of light were all absorbed by the Silver Dragon Armor.
Although Chu Hao finally also brought out a Treasure Artifact, the crowd was already won over by his performance. The extent of his previous Elemental Transformation had astounded them. And seeing Chu Hao finally hitting his limit also gave them relief; this fellow was not monstrously invincible after all.
Chu Hao and Demon Heaven both brought out Treasure Artifacts, the Treasure Pagoda capable of launching attacks of War General caliber, while the Silver Dragon Battle Armor could absorb attacks of War General caliber. Neither could completely overpower the other; instead, both were depleting their spiritual power.
Both of these Treasure Artifacts were activated by spiritual power, so whoever couldn’t keep up with the expenditure of spiritual power would not be able to continue using the Treasure Artifacts, leading to a clear shift in the situation.
Clearly, Demon Heaven was at a greater disadvantage because he needed to operate the Treasure Pagoda to shoot out at least ten beams of light to pose a threat to Chu Hao. Otherwise, Chu Hao could resort to Elemental Transformation.
Thus, the drain on the two of them was completely disproportionate.
Demon Heaven was of course aware of this and eventually decided to retreat. After letting out a long howl, he turned around and left.
He still didn’t believe he had lost to Chu Hao.
Since he had only just undergone the Ancestral Pool baptism, his bloodline wasn’t strong enough, his Elemental Transformation wasn’t as advanced as Chu Hao’s, and his constitution wasn’t as robust. The lethality of his Demon Eye and the assistance from his Demon Patterns had not reached a higher level.
Therefore, all he had to do was wait for time to pass. The longer he dragged it out, allowing the benefits of the Ancestral Pool baptism to fully manifest, the ultimate victory would surely be his.
—He naturally couldn’t believe that Chu Hao had also just experienced the Ancestral Pool baptism. The more powerful and confident a person is, the less they believe someone else could surpass them in talent and potential.
Chu Hao chased after him for a while, landing a few punches on Demon Heaven’s back, but ultimately let his staggered opponent escape. Unfortunately, even though the opponent was a notch below, he was still very strong; it’s not that easy for such an individual to die.
However, Chu Hao didn’t take it to heart. Since he had already defeated him, there was no way the other could surpass him again. Next time they met, he could vanquish him with one hand.
"How did you let that bad guy get away?" the Barbaric Girl complained dissatisfactorily.
"Forget it, I’ve already given him a beating. Next time, I’ll beat him to death," Chu Hao said with a smile.
"Let’s go check out that place."
They continued toward the peculiar metal building, not encountering any unexpected incidents this time. They soon reached the outer wall of the metal building to see that it appeared to have been cast from some kind of metal, extremely hard, such that neither Chu Hao’s Green Flame nor Starlight could damage it.
"Where’s the door? How do we get in without a door?" the Barbaric Girl said, kicking the wall.
They climbed onto the building, but it too was completely sealed on top, clearly not allowing entry from there.
"Let’s look around."
They circled the building and after about half a round, finally spotted an open iron door.
"Be careful, Yun Cai, you watch our back," Chu Hao instructed.
"Okay!" the girl nodded. Both she and Chu Hao practiced Body Cultivation and were best equipped to deal with emergencies.
"Let’s go."
They filed in one by one. The building wasn’t dark; the black walls emitted a faint light. Although not very strong, it was enough for everyone to see clearly with their Eyesight.
The building was spacious, yet the hallway they entered was winding and narrow, seemingly a circular path going around in a loop.
On both sides of the corridor, there were rooms with doors ajar, but they were empty, devoid of anything.
"Ah—!" A scream suddenly echoed from ahead. The group hurried forward and with a bang saw a figure being flung out of a room, scattering into numerous fragments in an instant, falling to the ground with a series of plops.
Thud—the room door shut.
A room closed off.
"What danger is hiding inside...?"
The Barbaric Girl couldn’t help but be full of excitement, rushing to the front and saying, "Let me do it! Let me do it!" Without waiting for Chu Hao and the others to agree, she pushed the door and entered.
The door was heavy, but with the girl’s terrifying strength, it swung open easily, revealing an empty room with a white orb floating in the center, containing a book.
"Subduing Tiger Jue."
The four of them read the name on the book aloud simultaneously.
"Is this a Cultivation Technique?"
"It must be." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"It doesn’t look very easy to get."
All four were cautious, especially after just witnessing a person being dismembered right before their eyes. Considering many other rooms had their doors already opened, their contents likely taken, it was unclear what they might have been.
Others came in behind them and when they saw the "Subduing Tiger Jue," they all displayed an interested look. Yet, the heap of dismembered remains on the ground caused them to hesitate to approach.
After all, who knew the Rank of this "Subduing Tiger Jue"? If it was just Earth Level Lower Grade, or even Human Level, wouldn’t taking the risk be a huge loss?
Chu Hao stepped forward into the room, and immediately, the orb released countless rays of light, forming a web that covered the entire room. Unless Chu Hao could shrink down to the size of a fly, there was no way he could just walk through it.
He tossed a Star Stone which struck one of the light rays, causing all the light rays in the room to move in an instant.
The Star Stone was flung out of the room, now showing several cracks, but it hadn’t shattered.
"The destructive power is within an acceptable range," Chu Hao nodded, lifting his foot and stepping entirely into the room.
Swish, swish, swish, beams of light attacked him like lasers that could slice through solid objects.
Chu Hao clenched his fists and punched out rapidly, his thick vital energy activating and completely obliterating the incoming light rays (To be continued.
