Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 457 - 447 Intent Realm

Lin Wunian’s desire to kill Chu Hao was no secret.

If not for this, why would he attack Chu Hao every day? Who else would have so much idle time?

But now, with such a good opportunity, Lin Wunian actually showed mercy? How could this be possible?

Yet, Fat Cat jumped up, dancing and gesticulating as if mad.

"Eh, what’s going on here?" Gu Qingcheng, Fu Xue, and the Barbaric Girl exclaimed in surprise. They were all on Chu Hao’s side, but this scene was simply too much to accept.

"Could it be the Intent Realm?" Su Wanyue said uncertainly.

"Of course it’s the Intent Realm, haha, Hao truly deserves to be—" Fat Cat covered its mouth, but could not hide its excitement.

"Impossible!" Gu Qingcheng immediately cried out in shock, her beautiful eyes widening, "Even the strong realm of the Upper Three Realms may not be able to comprehend the Intent Realm. Is that scoundrel really that powerful?"

"Hehe, some people can’t be judged by ordinary standards!" Fat Cat boasted proudly, as if it were the one who had created a miracle.

"What is the Intent Realm?" the Barbaric Girl asked blankly, and Fu Xue was also full of curiosity. She came from an ordinary background, and her understanding of martial arts was far inferior to Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng, the two noble ladies from the Gu Clan.

Gathering her thoughts, Su Wanyue explained, "The Upper Three Realms cultivate Divine Sense, which everyone knows. But some strong cultivators within the Upper Three Realms take a step further in soul awareness and can even influence and harm others’ spirits, which is known as the Intent Realm."

"However, the Intent Realm is too difficult to form, and not even one in ten strong cultivators in the Upper Three Realms might have mastered it," continued Gu Qingcheng, her expression turning excited.

Because that was the man she fancied!

"For example, even though you, Yun Cai, are a Body Cultivator with defensive power said to be invincible among your peers, if you encountered Chu Hao now, he could directly obliterate your Divine Sense, turning you into a living dead," Su Wanyue said solemnly.

"Wouldn’t that make one invincible?" exclaimed Fu Xue.

"Of course not that easy!" Su Wanyue shook her head, "The Upper Three Realms cultivates Divine Sense, and the soul is strong, not so easily influenced or harmed."

"Was Junior Brother Chu using the Intent Realm just now to affect Lin Wunian?" Fu Xue inquired.

"It should be the case!" Su Wanyue nodded.

Meanwhile, in the stands of the Iron-blood Field, others were whispering amongst themselves. Many people knew what the Intent Realm was, including descendants of the Gu Clan and heirs of First Tier forces. As soon as it was mentioned, it immediately caused a sensation.

The Intent Realm, which even strong cultivators of the Upper Three Realms might not comprehend, this fellow had mastered at the level of a War General? Was this person even human?

"Impossible, he must have used some other Secret Technique," someone suggested.

"Exactly, I’ve heard of a Secret Technique called Golden Needle Break. It can concentrate Star Force into a needle and shoot it out, causing slight damage to the Divine Soul."

"That makes more sense!"

Before reaching the War Venerate level, Martial Artists have fairly fragile Divine Souls, so even a slight injury can have a profound impact.

Everyone nodded. How could they accept that a War General had mastered the Intent Realm, something not even a War Venerate was guaranteed to have?

"A bunch of frogs in a well!" sneered Fat Cat, in a voice so soft that only Su Wanyue and the others could hear, "The martial arts of this era are too backward. Not even War Venerates are necessarily proficient in the Intent Realm, but in the era of this cat, which Upper Three Realms Martial Artist didn’t have the Intent Realm? Even some exceptional War Kings could comprehend it!"

"Moreover, Hao is a descendant of a Great Emperor!" Fat Cat muttered to itself.

Lin Wunian was also shocked. He did not believe Chu Hao had mastered the Intent Realm, and after his initial shock, he sneered and said, "I did not expect you to have mastered many Secret Techniques, even affecting my Divine Soul! But there will be only this one time!"

Chu Hao, however, paid no attention to him at all, even lacking the interest to glance his way.

He was incredibly excited because something that had been stirring in his heart had finally burst forth!

So, this was the Intent Realm!

As early as when he was practicing the Mad Thunder Sword Technique, he had heard about the Intent Realm but was tormented by not being able to understand it. Later, he began to suspect whether the Intent Realm could affect another person’s Divine Sense.

But a suspicion was only a suspicion, without confirmation. And since the Divine Soul was a domain only accessible to strong cultivators of the Upper Three Realms, he had not delved too deeply into it.

Yet these days, battling fiercely with Lin Wunian, facing immense pressure, his Divine Sense was also undergoing tremendous changes.

At the moment of life and death, this finally led to a transformation, allowing the seed to sprout and the cocoon to become a butterfly!

"How dare you!" Lin Wunian bellowed, furious that this youngster dared to be distracted while he was speaking. How disparaging was this? He shouted angrily and pounced towards Chu Hao with his hands transformed into claws, aiming for Chu Hao’s chest. He intended to crush the opponent’s heart outright.

Thud! Thud!

Chu Hao showed no reaction, standing there as if stupefied, and Lin Wunian’s hands immediately penetrated Chu Hao’s chest. Even Chu Hao’s Body Cultivation defense was of little use against the Golden Wolf Claw.

"Ah!" Both Gu Qingcheng and the Barbaric Girl screamed, but Su Wanyue simply shook her head and said, "No worries, he is fine!"

Lin Wunian suddenly realized his claws met only emptiness, grasping nothing substantial, while a faint smile appeared on Chu Hao’s face, as if mocking him.

Elemental Transformation!

Wait, hadn’t he also employed Elemental Transformation, although it only affected his right hand? Given his strength, a whole realm higher, he should have been able to deal a heavy blow to Chu Hao immediately.

How could this be?

He withdrew his hands, only to see that the Golden Claw remained, but the Elemental Transformation in his right hand had dissipated without him knowing when it happened.

"This!" Lin Wunian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Boom!

Chu Hao swung out a punch, hitting Lin Wunian squarely in the face. The massive force sent Lin Wunian flying backward instantly.

After all, Lin Wunian was a War King and immediately righted himself in mid-air, stopping his own flight. The punch indeed made his internal organs boil, but with a few circulations of Star Force, he recovered immediately. Only the flow of blood from his nose tarnished his elegant demeanor beyond repair.

However, he couldn’t even bother to wipe the blood away; he just stared at Chu Hao, saying, "You, you, you—you’ve really mastered the Intent Realm?" Otherwise, how could his Elemental Transformation be inexplicably nullified?

"Thanks to you!" Chu Hao replied with a smile.

This was indeed true. Without the relentless pressure from Lin Wunian, which had built up frustration within him and provided enough pressure, he could never have comprehended the Intent Realm in such a short time.

Of course, he had only just stepped through the threshold; his control over his will was merely superficial. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just affecting Lin Wunian’s Elemental Transformation but directly severing his Divine Sense, killing him unseen.

Lin Wunian gazed deeply at Chu Hao and suddenly roared, "I don’t believe it!" He, too, was a Heaven Talented individual from the ancient Gu Clan, possessing the world’s strongest bloodline. Why hadn’t he, a War King, comprehended the Intent Realm, yet Chu Hao, a War General, had?

He lunged at Chu Hao again, his assaults pouring down like rain.

Chu Hao parried with composure, continually using Elemental Transformation to neutralize the attacks, then taking the opportunity to counter.

It had to be said, in terms of strength, a War King completely overwhelmed a War General, not to mention the gap between the two wasn’t as narrow as that between a Tenth Tier War General and a First Tier War King. In a match of strength, Chu Hao was utterly defeated.

But when it came to Elemental Transformation, even the strongest force was nothing!

Huffing and puffing, Lin Wunian incessantly swung his strikes, only for each to miss its mark. Under the influence of Chu Hao’s Intent Realm, his reactions were always a beat too slow; he either got punched away or flipped over by a kick, appearing extremely disheveled.

The key was, in such a battle, Chu Hao couldn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless. Any mistake without using Elemental Transformation on the impacted area, and he would still suffer severe injuries.

As a result, under the high pressure, his control over the Intent Realm quickly deepened, and its influence on Lin Wunian grew ever stronger.

"Ah—" Lin Wunian let out a roar of frustration and suddenly leaped, exiting the Iron-blood Field.

Leaving the battlefield mid-way naturally meant defeat.

He won!

Chu Hao had finally achieved his first streak of ten victories!

He couldn’t help but smile. In fact, the military merits of ten consecutive victories were a minor matter. The formation of the Intent Realm was his most significant gain.

He must thank Lin Wunian and resolved to fight him each time they met, he thought to himself.

As one could only achieve a maximum of ten consecutive victories per day, Chu Hao also began to leave.

"Chu Hao, let’s have a chat."

"Brother Chu, come be a guest at my place."

"Brother Chu Hao, do you have time to sit in my room tonight?"

No sooner had he left the battlefield than a great many people surrounded him, each showing the utmost enthusiasm as if they had been good friends for decades.

He naturally knew that these people were so passionate because of his success in the Realm, hoping to coax the secrets of the Intent Realm out of him.

"Make way, make way!" Su Wanyue and the other three girls approached, with the Barbaric Girl’s violence bursting forth, pushing away the people in front to forcefully squeeze beside Chu Hao.

Surrounded by the four girls, they arrived at Chu Hao’s residence.

"I didn’t expect you to grasp the Intent Realm so quickly!" Once they were seated, Su Wanyue said with a tone of envy.

Chu Hao chuckled and replied, "Actually, I’ve only mastered the basics. It’s not really a comprehension."

"That’s already quite impressive. You even made a War King flee!" The Barbaric Girl expressed her envy too. As an Innate Body Cultivator, she rarely met a match within her own Realm, but defeating someone a whole major Realm higher was an impossible feat.

"Hey, hey, hey, how exactly do you train? Tell us." Gu Qingcheng asked curiously.

Chu Hao thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Stingy!" Gu Qingcheng pouted right away.

But Su Wanyue laughed and said, "It’s not Chu Hao being stingy, but the Intent Realm can only be comprehended and cannot be communicated through words. Otherwise, why would there be only one who can grasp it out of every ten warriors in the Upper Three Realms?"

Chu Hao then nodded, adding, "I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s just that I know how to do it now."

Gu Qingcheng sulked for a while but soon broke into a smile, clutching Chu Hao’s arm, "It doesn’t matter if Miss doesn’t understand, as long as my man does!" With that, she deliberately glared at Su Wanyue.

"I feel the same!" The Barbaric Girl quickly hugged Chu Hao’s other arm, displaying a protective attitude.
