Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 355 - 345 Stone Scale Beast

"Have you prepared your last words?"

"This kid is so arrogant, thinking he can dictate their life and death?"

The three elders were furious. Although they were slightly less powerful, the difference wasn’t stark, and they hadn’t even used their Martial Techniques yet. Did they really believe that their collective centuries of expertise in Martial Techniques and skills were inferior to a man who was at most 30 years old?

"No tears till the coffin closes!" Chu Hao burst into action, having lost his patience and already sentenced these six men to death.

—— Today it was him, would another person not have already died at their hands?

Just as he said, he didn’t start trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it either.

Kill!

Chu Hao unleashed the Sky Wind Eight Styles, causing a surge of wind and clouds, an impressive display of force.

This Martial Technique must be Middle-Grade Earth Level, but the final Return to One was variable—combining two, three, or four styles was still within the Middle-Grade Earth Level category, but combining five reached High-Grade Earth Level.

Chu Hao had only merged six styles so far, and its power was still less than the Mad Thunder Sword Technique, showing that even Martial Techniques of the same High-Grade Earth Level could differ in strength.

But the term "lesser" in relation to the Sky Wind Eight Styles was only when compared to Mad Thunder Sword Technique. Who would dare underestimate the power of this Martial Technique?

He moved with great swings, and the ground cracked under his feet, trees fell in swathes as if a demon of destruction had risen from hell, terrifying to behold.

The three elders joined forces, pushing their abilities to the limits, but even facing the onslaught of Chu Hao’s storm-like attacks, they felt inadequate, constantly on the brink of being obliterated. Only the elder in white robes, being a Sixth Tier, managed to desperately protect the other two.

Though it was said that three were fighting together, in reality, the elders in gray and blue robes were only dragging them down, not helping at all, but rather forcing the elder in white robes to multitask and block attacks for them.

How could this young man possess such terrifying combat power?

But they had no spare time to ponder this question because Chu Hao’s oppressive assault gave them no room to breathe, their minds occupied only with thoughts of survival. Why Chu Hao was so strong... did it matter?

"Let’s go!" the elder in white robes gritted his teeth, acknowledging that today they had truly met their match.

"Can you escape?" said Chu Hao coldly. He was not naturally aggressive, but being cursed at for no reason, coveted for his possessions—if he didn’t have some strength, he would have died. Did they expect him to remain calm?

Some people just deserve to die.

He finally used his Ultimate Move, Six Forms Unified, and his combat power skyrocketed exponentially.

The three elders, as Warriors, naturally each had their Ultimate Moves too, but firstly, they had no time to use them, and secondly, how did their High-Grade Earth Level Martial Techniques compare? It still depended on who had deeper mastery and could utilize them more adeptly to unleash their techniques’ full potential.

Obviously, their combat talents were far inferior to Chu Hao’s, and under the devastating power of the Six Forms Unified, the three were nearly instantly killed.

Chu Hao glanced at the three young men lying on the ground, showing no mercy as he unleashed three forceful strikes, entering their foreheads, ensuring they would never wake from their unconscious state.

He scavenged the spoils of the battle, smiling involuntarily. These Warriors really had substantial possessions, boosting the confidence of the now reinvigorated Chu Hao.

"Too slow, too slow, I’ve been waiting for you half the day." Fat Cat had lain down on Flying Fire’s back again, the poor creature now completely serving as the cat’s mount.

Chu Hao chuckled, his eyes sweeping over, and couldn’t help yelling, "Dead cat, did you eat all the meat?" The previously full pot was now completely empty.

"Watching the show, I had to snack on something to pass the time," Fat Cat started making excuses, then pointed at Flying Fire, "This dead dog ate quite a bit too, no no no, it was all this dead dog’s doing, I even thought about telling it to save some for you, but this disobedient dog wouldn’t listen."

Flying Fire, having high intelligence, knew Fat Cat was bad-mouthing it and stared with innocent, large eyes.

"You’re blaming a leopard, sinking to such shamelessness, I don’t even know how to get angry anymore," sighed Chu Hao.

"Hurry, to the World Mother Tree!" urged Fat Cat.

"You’ve eaten your fill, I’ve only had a few pieces of meat."

"A big man shouldn’t be nitpicking like this."

"Then you should switch to a vegetarian diet from now on."

"Are you trying to starve me to death?"

As they bickered back and forth, they continued on their way.

After walking a distance, Chu Hao suddenly said, "Fat Cat, if the World Mother Tree is really as you’ve described, then who could possibly pluck a branch from it and plant it here?"

A fruit from the mother tree was tantadic to a star, a world itself, to Chu Hao it represented the mother of the universe, the ultimate entity. So who could possibly break a branch from it?

"Silly, all things must wax and wane, wouldn’t the Mother Tree also age and die?" scoffed Fat Cat.

"Such a powerful being can die?"

"Normally, it wouldn’t, but if it suffers a fatal injury, the Mother Tree will dissolve itself, injecting its essence into dozens or even hundreds of branches. After some years, one of them will grow into a new Mother Tree."

"What kind of existence can injure the Mother Tree?"

"You don’t understand, everything in the universe can counter each other. The Mother Tree has natural enemies too, a creature known as the Yin Nether Ants that feed on the branches and leaves of the Mother Tree. Once discovered by these creatures, even as mighty as the World Mother Tree can be slowly devoured clean."

"There’s no truly invincible existence?" Chu Hao pondered deeply.

"How can there not be? What I meant by mutual restraint only refers to those born powerful, like the World Mother Tree, which doesn’t need cultivation and grows up to be the strongest in the world. But because its power isn’t achieved through postnatal cultivation, there are inherent restraints," Fat Cat said, his words twisting like a tongue twister.

Chu Hao understood and said, "So, there’s nothing in this world that comes without effort."

"Exactly," Fat Cat nodded, "That’s why on the path of cultivation, try not to rely on external things. The power you gain from your own efforts is more stable, or else one day a great disaster might occur."

"Then why do you keep urging me to quickly increase my realm?" Chu Hao rolled his eyes.

"Your situation is different!" Fat Cat laughed, "First, your current cultivation is too weak. Forcing it a bit now won’t cause any significant problems. Second... time really doesn’t wait for anyone; impending disaster is near, and if you don’t have enough strength, you’ll be ground into dust."

"Damn cat, you keep talking about this great disaster, but what exactly is it?"

"Damn, does a dead dog dare to touch my butt? Don’t you know a tiger’s butt can’t be touched?" Fat Cat screamed, chasing after Flying Fire.

Whenever this topic came up, Fat Cat either diverted it or simply ran away, never willing to answer.

Where exactly does this great disaster come from?

Chu Hao chased after him, and once again running alongside Fat Cat, he didn’t bring up the topic of the disaster again, but quickened his pace towards the giant tree that seemed to be a branch of the World Mother Tree.

"Be careful, I suddenly have a bad feeling," Fat Cat suddenly paused.

"What’s wrong?" Chu Hao asked.

Boom, an abrupt sound of footsteps came, and a massive figure appeared, hundreds of meters tall, its long shadow casting a terrifying silhouette.

If Chu Hao didn’t look up, he would only see two thick, long beast legs, covered in bright red scales like paint, and exuding a primitive and robust aura.

Looking further up, he could see a long tail, also bright red, no thinner than the pair of beast legs, making one suspect that a hit from that tail could only result in being smashed to pieces.

Looking even higher, this upright giant beast didn’t just happen to stand upright; it was its natural way of walking.

—Its two front limbs were pitifully small.

Tyrannosaurus rex.

The first thought that streaked across Chu Hao’s mind, but even at first glance, even a T-Rex wasn’t hundreds of meters tall, nor was this Earth, much less the Cretaceous period. However, this giant beast really resembled a T-Rex, only magnified several times over, no wonder it made such terrifying footstep sounds.

"It’s a Stone Scale Beast." Fat Cat frowned, "Kid, let’s scram."

"Can’t we beat it?" Chu Hao glanced at the Stone Scale Beast, the aura emitted by this ferocious beast was merely at a warrior level, even if it was Tenth Tier, there was no need for them to dread it so much,

Chu Hao had the Silver Dragon Armor, which allowed him not to fear any warriors, and the invincible Starlight might just slaughter this ferocious beast, not to mention he also had the golden pupil and Heavenly Dharma Stone as his trump cards.

"Stupid, the meat of a Stone Scale Beast is too disgusting to eat, loose and flabby just like a wife you’ve been married to for over a dozen years. You kill if you want, I’m just here to watch," Fat Cat said.

"...Can’t you stop being so sleazy!" Chu Hao could only shake his head; Fat Cat was too rogue.

"If you’re not running, I am." Fat Cat scratched Flying Fire with a claw, causing Flying Fire’s fur to stand on end as it quickly started to run wildly.

The little guy was agile and exceedingly fast; if Chu Hao didn’t use his sword flight, even he would not catch up. This burst of speed left Chu Hao behind.

Meanwhile, the Stone Scale Beast had already lifted a giant leg towards Chu Hao, as if the sky had collapsed, and a pitch-black shadow pressed down.

Chu Hao let out a long cry, gathering all his strength, and unleashed the Six Forms Unified.

Puff!

The foot of the Stone Scale Beast landed without suspense, and Chu Hao instantly disappeared from sight.

"Damn!" Chu Hao spit out as he was planted into the soil, the Stone Scale Beast’s strength was immense, pushing him into the earth. Soon, a light appeared in front of him as the Stone Scale Beast moved its foot away, and a giant mouth came close, opening wide to reveal rows of sharp, massive teeth.

Chu Hao quickly exerted his limbs and burst forth from the soil, and the Stone Scale Beast’s bite missed, teeth clashing together, producing a sound like muffled thunder. (To be continued.
