Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 446 - 436 Conquer
Hearing the Beast King’s cry for help, three powerful ferocious beasts immediately pounced together, each emitting an aura not the slightest bit weaker than the Fish Ape ferocious beast.
Each was a War King, and moreover, at the Peak Level.
Chu Hao was unafraid. With the golden pupil eye in his possession, it was as if he had activated a cheat device.
Though his physique was among the strongest in the world, he had not reached Great Achievement; he was only at Fifteenth Flow. However, the golden pupil eye he held came from a truly Greatly Achieved golden-eyed beast, the second most powerful level in the world.
This couldn’t directly increase his strength, but it did allow his combat power to skyrocket by three times, five times, or even ten times.
Four Beast Kings joining forces? So what?
"Dirty rogue, run!" Gu Qingcheng urged him urgently. Previously, Chu Hao already seemed strained fighting one-on-one with the Fish Ape Beast King, let alone now facing four alone?
"Run for what?" Chu Hao burst into laughter and with a loud shout, he took the initiative to attack the four Beast Kings while driving the war chariot.
"She’s gone mad! Truly mad!" Gu Qingcheng exclaimed, holding her head. How had she chosen such a man, who would lead his woman into the enemy’s camp, too careless with her well-being.
But she soon realized Chu Hao was not merely rashly courageous. He truly had the strength.
How would four Beast Kings working together stand a chance? They were still forced into a panicked retreat by Chu Hao, as if there was at least a small realm’s difference between them.
How had this rogue suddenly become so fierce, as if he had been injected with chicken blood? She couldn’t help but wonder. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Chu Hao had completely gained the upper hand, and this was a bloody battle. No person nor ferocious beast would choose to flee when outmatched—perhaps outsiders might, as they didn’t share the concept of a holy war, and they weren’t soldiers either. It was natural to run when you couldn’t win, for living held hope.
The four Beast Kings fought stubbornly, unable to overpower Chu Hao; they could only growl and call for more helpers. But there were only so many Peak Level War Kings, how many more could they possibly summon?
However, there were still quite a number of ordinary War Kings; at least a dozen ferocious beasts were teaming up against Chu Hao.
Chu Hao was not intimidated. He held up the Deep Blue Sword and executed the fourth move of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique—Thundercloud Density.
Thunder rumbled as a swath of thunderclouds unfolded, covering the nearby area. Soon, lightning struck, causing indiscriminate and massive destruction.
War Kings below the fifth-tier were directly shattered to death, those above the fifth-tier also suffered considerable injuries, and only the Peak Level War Kings remained unscathed. The power of this sword was terrifyingly fearsome.
But, there were already several cracks on the Deep Blue Sword. Now, bearing the force of Chu Hao’s War General level strength, the cracks grew longer and new ones spread out.
Chu Hao flicked the sword with his finger, and with a snap, the Sixth Grade Treasured Sword shattered into seven or eight pieces.
It had reached the end of its life.
Chu Hao shook his head, realizing he would have to go without a sword for some time.
Then he would use fists, use palms.
With a long howl, he unleashed punches with his left hand and palms with his right, combining Dragon Fist and Sky Wind Eight Styles in a formidable onslaught on the group of ferocious beasts.
With the help of the golden pupil eye, Chu Hao’s killing efficiency was astounding. One Beast King after another fell beneath his war chariot, which he promptly collected—this beast flesh was Treasured Medicine itself, hardly inferior to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the same rank.
As a large number of Beast Kings were drawn to him, the War Kings of Copper Valley tribe joined forces to combat the enemy, creating a delicate balance that increasingly favored them as time went on.
The War Kings of Copper Valley tribe had managed to free up their hands to begin killing ferocious beasts at the War General level, which in turn greatly increased their killing efficiency, hastening the tilt of the scales of victory.
After fighting for half the day, only three Beast Venerates remained on the side of the ferocious beasts.
But this was the critical moment.
Even if only one Beast Venerate remained, it would still be enough to annihilate Copper Valley tribe several times over.
Chu Hao had stopped his war chariot, unable to intervene in a battle at the Venerable Level for the moment. The Barbaric Girl also stopped her chariot beside him, her small face still full of excitement. It had been a long time since she had fought so exhilaratingly.
Everyone’s gaze fixed on the distant scene, where seven War Venerates and eight war chariots were jointly battling the three Beast Venerates.
At this moment, the three Beast Venerates had entered their strongest state of combat, their bodies enlarged many times over, especially the Nine-Headed Golden Lion, which was thousands of meters long and towering into the clouds, seemingly capable of levelling the whole of Red Flame Ridge with a single charge.
Chu Hao’s gaze was focused on Su Wanyue. This stunning and dignified woman had already brandished the Xuan Yin Sword, and with a sweep of her blade, the heavy Sword Qi fell like a mountain, even the Nine-Headed Golden Lion uttered mournful cries.
This Treasured Sword, forged from Third Rank materials and enhanced with a Heart of the Mountain Range, could entice even a War Venerate. Now, with the boost from her war chariot, she temporarily wielded the power of a War Venerate and could finally unleash the full potential of the Xuan Yin Sword.
The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to obtain a suitable Treasure Artifact since the corresponding materials are truly scarce!
Take Tu Han for example, he is the High Priest of the Copper Valley Tribe with the highest status, yet his weapon is a White Bone Stick. Of course, this Bone Rod is no ordinary tool, it is very likely a relic bone shed by a Peak Level Beast Venerate, and moreover, it’s a primary bone. When waved, Runes flicker on its body, and its power is terrifyingly incredible.
But what shocked Chu Hao even more was that despite so many War Venerate-level forces bombarding it, the mountain had not collapsed! Not only had it not collapsed, but even the mountain body was barely destroyed at all, at most only deep pits were smashed into it.
After watching for a while, Chu Hao finally revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth. Su Wanyue and the others had already taken the upper hand, and victory... was just a matter of time.
The variable now was the Iron Bull Tribe. If they arrived before the battle ended, then that would be a different story.
Fortunately, no figures had been seen in the distance all this time.
It wasn’t until midnight that the three Beast Venerates were finally killed one by one, their enormous bodies crashing down with a thunderous roar, blood spilling all over the ground. For this, the human side also paid the price of seven serious injuries.
Four of the injured were strong warriors from the Copper Valley Tribe, while the other three were naturally outsiders. Their War Chariots had been damaged and needed to be repaired before rejoining the fight.
Now was the time when the Copper Valley Tribe’s Combat Power was at its most vacant, but fortunately, they had also occupied Red Flame Ridge, a stronghold that was easy to defend and hard to attack — only ferocious beasts wouldn’t know to use this advantage for defense. Otherwise, even if the Copper Valley Tribe joined hands with the Iron Bull Tribe, they would have to pay a tenfold ghastly price to take down this crucial location.
Everyone was hastily tending to their injuries, preparing to either annihilate or assimilate the Iron Bull Tribe, resolving any worries from behind, and then marching towards the second major stronghold.
Of course, occupying this stronghold had another benefit: it produced abundant Spiritual Medicine, which could greatly enhance the whole tribe’s Combat Power in a short time — the same was true for the outsiders.
Spiritual Medicine couldn’t just emerge out of thin air; one had to search for and harvest it themselves.
After making slight adjustments, Chu Hao, Su Wanyue, Gu Qingcheng, and others immediately set off on their journey in search of Spiritual Medicine. Military Merits could indeed be exchanged for some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but that was not enough.
"Haha, that smug Yang Huang got seriously injured, barely escaping having his head bitten off by the Golden Lion," said the Barbaric Girl with a mischievous laugh as they walked on foot since the War Chariots couldn’t be used at the time.
"It’s his own fault for trying to claim the credit and wanting to land the killing blow on the Nine-Headed Golden Lion. He got bitten back instead; he’s lucky not to be dead," Gu Qingcheng also chuckled.
Whoever landed the killing blow would gain significant Military Merits. Yang Huang was simply too greedy. As for whether it was due to a bet with Chu Hao that made him more desperate for Military Merits, that was something only he would know.
Chu Hao merely smiled faintly, not taking such a rival to heart. However, on the list of Military Merits garnered from this battle, despite his many kills of Beast Kings, he still couldn’t compare with Su Wanyue and the others.
Killing a Beast Venerate, even if the Military Merits were shared among so many people, was still equivalent to a hundred Beast Kings.
The war had just begun; there was no rush.
What Chu Hao urgently needed now was a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, to elevate his Body Technique to the War General level to catch up with his Star Force standard.
"Looking at the map, here, here, and here," said Su Wanyue, pointing at three places on a beast-skin map spread flat, which showed the distribution of Spiritual Medicine within Red Flame Ridge, secretly scouted by several seasoned War Venerates previously.
The powerful ferocious beasts here had been cleanly eradicated, but that didn’t mean the Spiritual Medicine was easy to obtain. The environment where they grew was extremely dangerous; even War Venerates had to tread carefully and could easily perish if not cautious.
Otherwise, those Spiritual Medicines wouldn’t have grown to this day, and would’ve been eaten by the ferocious beasts a long time ago.
"Let’s go here first," Chu Hao pointed at a corner on the map and said with a smile, "This place is the closest to us."
Since they all carried the same mark and couldn’t fight each other, the strength of their forces was not a factor in the rivalry for Spiritual Medicine; instead, it was about wisdom and luck. After all, in such perilous environments, luck was also very important.
All four women nodded in agreement, none opposing.
Chu Hao asked Su Wanyue about her previous experiences. In the region of the War King, there was also a stage involving the fight for Qi Luck, and with her strength, she of course had successfully ascended and was blessed with Qi Luck.
That is to say, among the six of them, there were now three who had obtained significant Qi Luck from this place, accounting for half.
"Haha, no matter where we decide to go, we should have great harvests," Chu Hao laughed.
"That’s not necessarily true; Qi Luck is just one aspect. If you’re bent on seeking death, no one can save you," Fat Cat retorted disdainfully.
Chu Hao chuckled, "If you keep talking like that, then indeed no one can save you."
"Meow, I am a fortunate omen of heaven and earth, whoever goes against me is defying the heavens," said Fat Cat, nonchalantly and cheekily.
Because they couldn’t fly, many places required them to detour, and it took half a day before they finally arrived at the indicated location of Spiritual Medicine on the map.
This was a valley that didn’t possess the vibrant life one would associate with a place abundant in Spiritual Medicine. On the contrary, it was gloomily dark, emanating a thick aura of death, as if it was a land of doom.
