Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 442 - 432 Resentment

But at this moment, the differences between each war chariot became apparent. The Ice Bear and the Dragon Elephant were not agile types, so their distance from Chu Hao was growing further and further. Yet, as the two ferocious beasts galloped, their roars were like a stampede, shaking the heavens and splitting the earth with formidable momentum.

They were all strength-type.

Chu Hao’s speed was too fast. Although he was the last to depart, he surpassed all those before him one after another.

Especially that War King who had bet with him. When he saw the war chariot he once labeled "trash" surpass him, and it was driven by a Divine Beast, the Phoenix, with its entire body ablaze with flames, the expression on his face was priceless.

He was filled with regret!

Who could have thought that the war chariot with the worst appearance would actually be of the best quality? What does speed mean on the battlefield? It means efficiency in killing enemies and the great advantage of staying alive. If you can’t even hit me, how can you harm me?

Damn it, he even deliberately showed off in front of me, that is so infuriating.

Whoosh, before that War King had time to form a second thought, the Fire Phoenix had already driven the chariot past him, leaving him only a shrinking figure that disappeared on the horizon.

—His chariot was pulled by a giant python, and its speed was about the worst among the ten chariots, even behind Su Wanyue and the Barbaric Girl’s strength-type chariots.

Perhaps, in water-based combat, the full power of this chariot could be maximized.

The problem was, there were mountains and plains here, but no lakes or seas, so his chariot was doomed not to show its full strength.

Chu Hao surpassed all the chariots in front, leaving them in a cloud of dust. He quickly exited the city and raced across the vast plains, swift as the wind and fast as lightning. Then it occurred to him, wasn’t the Phoenix the king of birds? Could it fly?

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the Fire Phoenix flapped its wings. With a clear chirp, it suddenly soared into the sky.

Boom, the entire war chariot lifted off too, and its speed immediately climbed another notch!

Originally, there were three chariots behind him that could barely keep up—those were powered by the Wind Wolf, the Crimson-eyed Leopard, and the Black Cloud Horse, all speed-type. But now, as the Fire Phoenix took to the air, they could only watch helplessly as it pulled away.

In the sky, Chu Hao piloted the flaming chariot, zigzagging back and forth, leaving behind trails of flames like red glow—beautiful, dangerous, yet filled with might.

This scene left the other nine envious to no end. They all wished to have their own chariots take to the air, but they immediately realized that was a vain hope.

Could the Ice Bear fly? The Dragon Elephant? The Wind Wolf?

None of them could!

Only the Divine Beast, the Phoenix, could dance in the air, reigning supreme over all, looking down on all beings.

"Hahahahaha!" Chu Hao laughed heartily as his laughter echoed through the sky. Chariot in hand, he felt an invincible sensation.

Tu Han was right, a war chariot could increase their combat power by a whole realm. Chu Hao was a First Tier War General, but his real strength could compare to fourth or fifth-tier War Generals, and when fully powered, he could even contend with Peak War Generals.

Now, with the enhancement from the chariot, he could instantly kill Low Tier War Kings. Mid Tier War Kings would take some time to defeat, and if facing Peak War Kings, he could at least hold his ground without defeat.

But War Venerates were still an insurmountable barrier, a presence he could only retreat from. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

His own strength was still insufficient.

He must become a War King as soon as possible!

Chu Hao thought to himself, for more military merits and to obtain more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, otherwise his Body Technique would struggle to keep up, inevitably becoming his weak spot.

All ten were familiarizing themselves with and adapting to their war chariots, which would be their powerful weapons for killing enemies on the battlefield soon. But they would surely also attract the enemy’s encirclement. If they could not unleash the full potential of their chariots, they might face defeat under such encirclement.

A few hours later, they returned to their residences one by one—in their war chariots which would be theirs to use until the Sacred War concluded.

Chu Hao also gained a deeper understanding of the war chariot.

Piloting a war chariot required the support of one’s Star Force, but the chariot had its own power source, so he merely acted as a catalyst. Otherwise, even if he released all his power in a single strike, that would only be equivalent to a Middle Tier War King’s attack—just once.

Under normal circumstances, he could command the chariot to fight continuously for about half a day. However, there were two other functions of the chariot, which would consume additional Star Force.

One, it could form a shield that could block attacks far exceeding that of a War King, with no upper limit. However, the stronger the attack it blocked, the greater the consumption for him. In extreme cases, blocking one attack could deplete all his Star Force.

Second, it could emit a devastating beam of light, capable of both targeting a specific enemy and indiscriminately bombarding all directions.

The power of these beams was variable; the more Star Force provided, the stronger the resulting force.

Both functions had a "pre-storage" capacity, meaning as long as he was on the chariot, he could continuously input Star Force into it, allowing the energy to accumulate for the creation of a super shield or a death ray.

However, once he left the chariot, all the "pre-stored" Star Force would be voided.

There was another clever aspect: if these chariots attacked friendly ones, the destructive power would become a supply force, making the targeted chariot even stronger.

Understanding this, Chu Hao finally realized why outsiders were required to participate in this war.

The War Chariot is too powerful!

If he were to reach the level of a War King, then, after accumulating enough Star Force, a single strike could even pose a huge threat to a War Venerate— it’s even possible to kill instantly.

When one side has a War Chariot and the other does not, the outcome of the battle could be an extreme one-sided affair—unless the side with the War Chariot only has Warriors and War Generals operating it, then no amount of accumulated Star Force would likely cause significant harm to a War Venerate.

In theory, if ten War Chariots combined their power, they would be the ultimate weapon on the battlefield.

With a rumbling sound, ten War Chariots arrived at the camp of the newcomers, immediately drawing the envy of the other outsiders, especially when Chu Hao descended from the sky on the Fire Phoenix, instantly pushing the atmosphere to its climax. Everyone looked at that War Chariot with fiery eyes, feeling their scalps tingle.

"You scoundrel, take this young lady for a spin in the sky!" Gu Qingcheng immediately walked over, stepping delicately and swaying her slender waist, her enchanting beauty casting a spell over the city, and although her face was still covered in white gauze, it left countless men utterly entranced.

Can a War Chariot carry people?

Chu Hao was indeed curious to know and said, "Alright, come on up."

"I want to go too!" The Barbaric Girl jumped down from her own War Chariot and ran straight over without a second thought.

"The War Chariot is too small, it can only seat two people, you get down," Gu Qingcheng immediately said.

Indeed, the War Chariot was not big, but it could definitely seat six people at the same time, and with a squeeze, even ten people weren’t impossible. But such a romantic occasion, of course, should be spent alone with Chu Hao—why would there be room for a third wheel?

"That’s despicable, you’re the one who should get down," the girl naturally refused to give in.

"You’re too heavy, like a mountain, you’ll crush the War Chariot," Gu Qingcheng shouted back.

"Vixen, it’s your chest that’s too big, that’s what will break the War Chariot!" the girl retorted.

Just then, a War King strode over and said to Chu Hao, "Kid, let’s switch War Chariots!" It was the very War King who had made a bet with Chu Hao, named Yang Huang.

How could such a flashy, impressive War Chariot be allowed for a mere War General’s use?

Feeling indifferent to the old and dilapidated War Chariot before and now coveting the Fire Phoenix’s grandeur, were they getting scheming?

Chu Hao couldn’t help but sneer and said, "Sure, if you can use it, then take it."

This War Chariot was soul ’bound’, unless he died, no one else could become the new master of this War Chariot.

Xu Huang, of course, knew this, but he sneered, thinking this would make Chu Hao back down? He said, "You go and tell Tu Han the High Priest, he surely has a way to remove the soul binding."

This time Chu Hao really got angry and said, "I never thought you could be so shameless."

"Scoundrel, how dare you insult me?" Yang Huang exploded in anger.

"So what if I did?" Chu Hao replied indifferently. Although he couldn’t possibly defeat a War King, with the Silver Dragon Armor in hand, he wouldn’t necessarily lose. Did he need to be afraid?

"Are you seeking death?" Yang Huang said coldly, his eyes brimming with killing intent. He truly wouldn’t mind eliminating Chu Hao—they were not real comrades-in-arms, just happened to have come to the same tribe.

"With you?" Chu Hao shook his head, "You don’t have that qualification! And in no more than three months, I will trample you underfoot."

"How audacious!" Yang Huang shouted in anger and immediately made a move.

Chu Hao’s mind stirred, and the Silver Dragon Armor was already on his body. With a buzz, Yang Huang pressed down with a palm, but as it came within three feet of Chu Hao, tattoos on the wrists of both men lit up simultaneously, forming an invisible barrier. Yang Huang was immediately sent flying back.

They couldn’t fight, at least before the end of the Saint War; they were unable to attack ’their own people’.

—Their sparring had to be limited to special occasions, such as in the Iron-blood Field, or places where the War Chariots were stored.

"Looks like you got lucky!" Yang Huang spat out and strode away.

"It’s you who’s lucky!" Chu Hao muttered to himself as he put away the Silver Dragon Armor. It wasn’t arrogance; with the speed of his cultivation advancement, he could step into the rank of War King in three months and definitely catch up to Yang Huang’s realm in half a year, crushing that guy like it was child’s play.

But until the Saint War ended, he couldn’t lay a hand on Yang Huang either, naturally making Chu Hao feel it was a pity.

No matter, there would be chances in the future.

"Chu Hao, let’s go! Let’s go!" the Barbaric Girl urged, having temporarily reached a consensus with Gu Qingcheng to ride together.

Chu Hao nodded, turned his head to Su Wanyue, and saw her nod slightly before turning to enter her house.

"Drive!" He uttered softly, and the Fire Phoenix reappeared, its wings flapping as it soared into the sky.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" The girl immediately cheered, her laughter like silver bells echoing through the sky.

Chu Hao looked down below, his eyes softening with tenderness. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
