Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 400 - 390: Palace in the Sea of Fire

Since he possessed not a trace of Star Force and couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person, there was only one possibility—Body Cultivation, pure Body Cultivation, not a mixed practice. In this world of drastic changes between heaven and earth, the only kind of person who would cultivate just Body Technique without cultivating Star Force were the Innate Body Cultivators.

Innate Body Cultivator!

Hissss, the six people simultaneously showed shocked expressions. The four words ’Innate Body Cultivator’ represented something significant—the future War Emperor. And not just any ordinary War Emperor, but one that could challenge even a War God.

This was a talent any power would recruit at all costs, someone who could completely change the fate of a family.

What was even better was, she was a woman!

After all, marrying her would make her part of one’s own family, right?

Then, the six people simultaneously turned their gazes towards Chu Hao, each secretly exclaiming in their hearts what good fortune this lad had, to actually have tricked an Innate Body Cultivator.

"Little girl, what is your name?" Elder Tian asked with a friendly face, the value of an Innate Body Cultivator was so great that he couldn’t afford to put on airs.

"Grandpa, my name is Yun Cai." The Barbaric Girl said sweetly, her nature was so pure and transparent that she didn’t need to pretend, being herself was enough to make people genuinely like her.

"Nice name! Nice name!" Elder Tian immediately praised her.

Chu Hao’s mouth twitched slightly, he really couldn’t see what was so good about that name.

"Delay could cause trouble, let’s go down immediately!" Elder Tian said, assuming that the Innate Body Cultivator would follow his clan, deciding to bring her back to the family later. However, their objective for this trip... could not afford any failures.

"I’ll lead the way, you all follow," he said, jumping down towards the volcanic vent first, his body’s Star Force activated, creating a circular vacuum area where the lava could not reach him.

One by one, the people jumped down and entered that area. Although there was no air inside, they didn’t need to worry about being scorched by the lava, and with the Warrior’s ability, holding their breath for a whole day was completely doable.

Under Elder Tian’s leadership, everyone swiftly descended, and they quickly reached the subterranean realm. The space filled with lava gradually expanded, seeming to form an ocean.

The Chu Family’s party evidently had a clear destination as they always moved towards one direction. After diving another several miles downward, they seemed to have reached the bottom of the lava ocean where three passageways appeared.

Elder Tian waved his hand and led them into the first passageway on the left. The group continued to move forward—this time not downward but horizontally. After roughly a hundred miles, a vast area suddenly opened up in front of them.

There was actually a lake here, but instead of water, it contained boiling lava and at its heart stood a palace!

A palace in a sea of lava?

Chu Hao couldn’t help but be surprised. How could there be a palace here? Was it built in the lava from the start? That seemed impossible. Could it be that it had sunk into the depths due to tectonic movements?

Clearly, Elder Tian and his party had come for this palace. But what exactly was inside this palace?

"Be very careful!" Elder Tian said, leading the group cautiously closer to the palace until they reached the entrance.

The golden gates were wide open and inside... it was completely empty, without a trace of lava, as if an invisible barrier prevented the lava from entering.

They approached and entered; the inside of the palace was eerily quiet, utterly unresponsive.

Elder Tian removed his defensive circle, deeming the area temporarily safe.

All eight of them scanned around, and Fat Cat jumped out from the Barbaric Girl’s arms, tail curved upward, gently swaying, a look of confusion on its face.

"Fat Cat, do you recognize this place?" Chu Hao asked through Divine Sense.

"I don’t," Fat Cat shook its head. "But this place is very strange, it gives me a hair-raising feeling."

"Hey hey hey, don’t scare people."

"Heh, you should think about how to get away from this group of people, or else if your identity is exposed, in a matter of minutes, you could be blasted to oblivion."

"You don’t need to remind me!" Chu Hao said. Right now, he was just masquerading as someone from the Chu Family, and if they asked him too many questions, he certainly wouldn’t be able to answer, always on the verge of being exposed.

"You guys wait here, I am going to go inside and have a look," Elder Tian said, feeling an indefinable sense of oppression.

"Yes!" The others all responded.

Elder Tian stepped lightly, his figure like a blur, already disappearing deep into the palace.

Chu Hao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Without the old man around, even if those five teamed up against him, he would not be afraid.

"By the way, which branch are you from?" A young man suddenly asked Chu Hao.

How would I know which branch I’m from!

In his heart, Chu Hao said, but naturally, he wouldn’t say that out loud. Instead, he said, "Who are you, and why should I tell you?"

"Ha, you don’t even know who I am?" The man immediately showed a look of surprise and using his thumb to point at himself, said, "I am Chu Baishan, the king among the younger generation of the Anshan branch!"

He looked at Chu Hao, a hint of coldness appearing, "I start to doubt your identity."

Earlier when he asked Chu Hao questions, it was just to understand Chu Hao’s background and then use his own identity to press down him before that Innate Body Cultivator, hoping to show off and hopefully win her over.

Innate Body Cultivator, ah, a future with a great chance to breakthrough as a War Emperor. For a man, could there be a better choice for a wife?

But Chu Hao’s answer had raised suspicions, making one wonder if he really was a member of the Chu Family.

"Oh, what about it?" Chu Hao spoke indifferently.

"Which lineage are you from exactly?" another person demanded harshly.

The Barbaric Girl was annoyed and said, "Who are you guys to demand answers?" She flashed her small fists, posing like a tigress.

"Hahahaha, do you even qualify as a man, letting a woman stand up for you!" Chu Baishan scoffed.

Chu Hao laughed and said, "Are you looking down on people? Girl, he’s looking down on you, what should you do?" His last question was directed to Yun Cai.

"Naturally, knock him flying!" the Barbaric Girl said, revealing her small tiger teeth.

"Strike quickly, knock them flying and we can leave," Chu Hao nodded.

"Okay!" The Barbaric Girl advanced towards Chu Baishan, her terrifying aura billowing as she moved like a dragon, her foot stomping down with a thunderous boom, overwhelming him with her presence.

Faced with such a fearsome pressure, Chu Baishan immediately abandoned all contempt and his expression became extremely cautious.

Body Cultivators are really rare nowadays, and until this moment, he had no firsthand impression but now he understood why ancestors feared those with Body Cultivation so much.

"Go!" He shouted and launched an attack first.

He had earlier claimed to be a young king from Anshan lineage, and indeed, he was skilled. With his attack, he whipped up fearsome flames sweeping toward the Barbaric Girl.

The girl stomped her foot, instantly generating tremendous explosive power as she charged at Chu Baishan, her fists swinging out and instantly transforming into two golden dragon claws. Clearly, she knew the terrible Elder Tian was frightening, so she had to quickly finish off these five people and flee.

"What!" Chu Baishan exclaimed in surprise and didn’t dare to face the attack, forcefully stopping his movement and retreating rapidly backward.

Seeing her advantage, the Barbaric Girl did not relent and chased after Chu Baishan.

Chu Baishan grunted, raised his right hand, and now held a sword. This time he didn’t dodge anymore, his long sword vibrating as he struck towards the girl’s dragon claws.

Ting ting ting, sword and claw collided, sparking dazzling sparks.

This sword was clearly not ordinary, knowing that after the girl underwent the Dragon Transformation, her claws possessed terrifying destructive power, even capable of injuring bodies cultivated at the same level.

However, she had two dragon claws!

The girl’s fighting style was wide open and aggressive; her claws danced so fast that Chu Baishan couldn’t keep up with just his sword and had to use his other hand to block.

Boom, his fist met her claw.

Chu Baishan revealed a cold smirk, at the moment of fist and claw contact, his entire left hand had turned into intangible flames.

Elemental Transformation!

Chu Hao inwardly sighed, no wonder he was a descendant of the Gu Clan, achieving Elemental Transformation at such a level. However, compared to Su Wanyue, Chu Baishan’s area of Elemental Transformation was very small, barely covering one hand, quite inferior compared to her.

But, did he think Elemental Transformation would allow him to evade the girl’s attacks?

Too naive.

Pfft, a spray of blood flew, Chu Baishan staggered back, his face displaying an incredulous expression, "I clearly underwent Elemental Transformation, how could you still injure me?" He thought that in the world, only the same Elemental Transformation could harm him, yet the girl was clearly a Body Cultivator, how could she possibly perform Elemental Transformation?

The Barbaric Girl naturally wouldn’t enlighten her opponent, instead, she continued her fierce assault with her double claws.

Whoosh, just then, a ball of flame suddenly flew in from the door, transforming into a rabbit and hopping around rapidly. However, upon seeing so many people inside the room, it got startled, jumping three feet high.

"Spiritual Fire!" Fat Cat suddenly exclaimed.

So, this is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire? How magical, it can even transform into the form of a living creature.

"How do we capture it?" Chu Hao asked Fat Cat.

"Use your hands, duh!" Fat Cat rolled its eyes.

Then, the Spiritual Fire seemed to realize as well, suddenly darting away on four limbs at an untraceable speed, disappearing in a flash.

Whoosh, another figure appeared, it was He Luo.

"Eh, Young Master, what brings you here?" He Luo asked, but since there were strangers, he communicated using Divine Sense.

"Who are you?" Apart from Chu Baishan, who was still fiercely battling the Barbaric Girl, the other four looked tensely at He Luo, knowing the place was a big secret.

"A member of the Chu Family?" He Luo’s gaze swept across them, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

The Chu Family and He Family weren’t archenemies, but if he could weaken the other’s strength, he was very willing to do so; after all, their territories were adjacent, and this wasn’t the first time conflicts had erupted.

But he immediately furrowed his brow and looked towards the depths of the palace, an elder instantly swooping over.

It was Elder Tian. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at qidian.com for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
