Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 458 - 448 Chaos

After the four women had left, Chu Hao sat cross-legged, pondering the Intent Realm he had just comprehended.

His thoughts were like an endless sea, instantly making him feel drained.

He promptly stopped, wiped his forehead with a hand, which was all sweaty, and he seemed utterly exhausted.

That was too exaggerated, he mused; he had only pondered for a moment.

"Kid, starting with the Intent Realm, you have now initially touched upon the great Dao of heaven and earth," Fat Cat appeared, swishing its tail seriously, "But legendary it is said, there are three thousand great Daos, these are the essence and root of heaven and earth, only supreme beings could explore them."

"Three thousand great Daos derive, almost endlessly."

"Without a clear direction, you will only lose yourself."

Chu Hao wiped the cold sweat from his brow, heaven and earth Dao, supreme and noble, is not to be blindly meddled with. Had he been rash to study it just now, his Divine Soul might have been eternally submerged, especially as his Realm is too low, his Divine Soul was not strong enough, just like a moth to a flame—the Dao of heaven and earth being the flame, while his Divine Soul the moth, rushing in would only burn to ashes.

"What should I do then?" he asked sincerely, with no pride in his ability to use the Intent Realm at the level of War General.

Fat Cat smiled with satisfaction; for a strong individual, confidence is essential but so is a humble attitude, otherwise it’s not confidence but arrogance. It stroked its whiskers and said, "First and foremost, you need a direction."

"In essence, heaven and earth can be divided into the Five Elements and the Six Elements of Thunder, but there are also untouchable Daos like space and time, let’s not talk about those yet. What you need to do now is choose a direction."

Chu Hao thought for a moment and said, "I have the Taiyang Body; logically, it should be best to start with the Fire Series Dao."

"Correct," nodded Fat Cat, one should capitalize on their strengths.

But Chu Hao immediately shook his head and said, "The Intent Realm is an extension of the Divine Sense, fundamentally speaking, I think it should be centered around oneself, without yet touching the level of heaven and earth Dao, so I plan to start with myself."

Fat Cat opened its mouth wide, saying, "Did you come up with this yourself?"

Chu Hao nodded, then asked, "What’s wrong, is there something amiss?"

Fat Cat looked oddly and said, "Historically, there have been some eccentrics who comprehended very unusual Intent Realms, such as one ’Absolute Blade Heavenly King’, this man experienced many hardships in life, his family was killed by enemies when he was young, and he narrowly escaped."

"In his teens, the family that adopted him was annihilated. In his thirties, his sect was destroyed. In his seventies, his wife was killed by enemies. At over two hundred years old, his seven children were also all murdered by enemies. At four hundred years old, all his descendants died from a strange disease."

"This man lived a life full of misfortunes, in despair, he comprehended the Intent Realm of despair, upon drawing his sword, under the assault of the despair Intent Realm, people with weak Divine Souls would even commit suicide on the spot!"

Hearing this, Chu Hao’s face involuntarily twitched, that Absolute Blade Heavenly King really had an unfortunate life. Most people undergoing such trials might have gone mad, but he achieved Enlightenment in his despair, which was impressive.

"You are right, the Intent Realm is not quite the Dao of heaven and earth, it’s merely a bridge between the individual and the Dao of heaven and earth, but you must not forget what I said earlier, your energy is limited, your Divine Soul is still very weak, be careful not to be overly greedy," Fat Cat said seriously.

Chu Hao nodded; he would give himself a clear focus, rather than chase everything. He asked, "Then when can I truly pursue the Dao of heaven and earth?"

"War God!" This time, Fat Cat did not speak of Chu Hao’s too low Realm or anything of that sort, perhaps because Chu Hao had already comprehended the Intent Realm early on, "War God can possess an ability known as ’Field Domain,’ also referred to as ’Field’, or ’Field Domain’."

"Within a War God’s Field Domain, he is like a god, omnipotent."

Chu Hao’s eyes lit up, "This Field Domain is the Minor World created by the War God, therefore, he is the master of this world, able to alter any rules just like in this relic, seemingly granting Qi Luck to anyone arbitrarily."

Again, Fat Cat’s expression turned odd, stating, "I suspect, are you the reincarnation of some old demon, otherwise how could you possess such high comprehension?"

"You’re the old demon, a real millennia-old Cat Demon!" Chu Hao retorted.

"Bah, I am a celestial omen of heaven and earth, be careful how you speak to me, else I might disfigure your face," Fat Cat said with a rakish air, "but you’re right, the Field Domain formed by the War God is indeed a Minor World, albeit its rules are extremely simplistic, designed just for combat."

It paused for a moment, pointing to the sky, "Compared to this Minor World, the War God’s is nothing!"

"The War God can’t create a world like this?" Chu Hao asked.

"Of course not, nowhere close!" Fat Cat shook its head, "Field Domain must rely on the War God’s power to maintain, once power support is lost, the Field Domain will quickly collapse, but this Minor World... has probably existed for hundreds of thousands of years."

Chu Hao longingly admired, what a mighty power it was to create a world, even if it is an incomplete one.

"Hao, you will surely grow to be such a powerful being, Sky Martial Star still needs you to save it!" said Fat Cat.

"Ha ha, aren’t you expecting too much from me?"

"You have the potential, you can do it!"

Chu Hao did not know where Fat Cat got such confidence from, he was confident in himself too, but he dared not think so far ahead. First, he had to break the fate of the Gu Clan being unable to become War Gods, then he could think about other matters.

He delved into Intent Realm once more.

Intent Realm, simply put, affects the Divine Souls of others.

This could be a manifestation of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, such as fire that could scorch an opponent’s soul, continuously smelting it, or it could be emotions—he suspected that those born with the Nine Charm Profound Body inherently had the ability to wield the Intent Realm, to bewitch hearts was also likely a form of influencing Divine Souls.

He did not wish to follow the path of the Six Elements, because he felt they were not suitable for him.

He wanted to form his unique style.

King’s Intent Realm, to make others submit? Despair Intent Realm, to make people decadent? Slaughter Intent Realm, to shatter one’s soul?

"Making others submit is not bad, but unless one truly stands at the peak of the world, how can one be a real king? And will is the embodiment of the spirit; if the King’s Intent Realm couldn’t make people submit, then my own spirit would definitely suffer a great impact."

"This won’t do!"

"Despair Intent Realm? Let’s not mention I haven’t experienced those despairing matters that make one wish for suicide; even if I had the chance, I would never want it. This won’t do either!"

"Slaughter also doesn’t suit me, as I am not so bloodthirsty, and the Dao of Heaven and Earth also speaks of leaving a line of survivability."

"So then—"

Chu Hao thought of the perfect balance formed by Taiyin and Taiyang during his Dual Cultivation with Su Wanyue.

"Indeed, Yin and Yang create Taiji, which is absolute balance! And from Yin and Yang derive all things, the origin of everything! In the universe, where there’s Yin, there’s Yang, antimatter corresponds to matter, black holes correspond to white holes."

"The path I must take is... Chaos!"

"Chaos contains Yin and Yang, can form both Taiji, which is absolute defense, and Wuji, complete chaos, possessing terrifying destructive power."

"The Intent Realm is the initial Field Domain, and my future path will be the Chaos Dao!"

He discussed this idea with Fat Cat, which made Fat Cat visibly moved.

"Kid, this path... there were none who came before, and there will be none who follow!" it said, "Are you sure you’ve thought this through? On this path, no one can guide you, everything has to be explored by you alone."

"This means you might not even come close to its end! It also means, if you encounter difficulties, you’ll only have yourself to do the exploring, and if you can’t figure it out, you might be stuck at that impasse forever."

Chu Hao nodded and unfolded a smile, saying, "The paths of others, no matter how strong, are still others’ paths. Walking a path already taken will never allow one to surpass the predecessors! Only a path that suits oneself can lead to the peak, even if it’s inevitably full of thorns and hardships, but once it’s crossed, there lies the endless light."

Just like with Cultivation Techniques, only the creator of that technique can reach its pinnacle, while others always have these subtle differences and cannot evolve to the ultimate extent.

Fat Cat shook its head, nodded again, and finally sighed, saying, "You’re good, you’re really good. Although you’ve early on possessed Elemental Transformation and understood the Intent Realm, thanks to your ancestral bloodline, but from the moment you chose to embark on this path, you finally set out on your own path."

"The future you might be obliterated in history, nameless and forgotten, but if you can make it through, then you will inevitably be the most dazzling existence in the world, standing alongside the strongest throughout history."

"Undying and unbreaking, undecaying and imperishable, that is... the Eternal Heavenly Emperor!"

Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Is this the Heavenly Emperor you always go on about? You really do have a thick face."

Fat Cat laughed ’hehe’, posing as if to say what if I really do have a thick face.

"Oops, someone’s coming!" it suddenly raised its head, and in a flash, it was nowhere to be seen.

Who could it be this late?

Knock, knock, knock, just then, the door sounded.

Chu Hao walked over to open the door, only to see a very slender woman standing at the doorway, just an inch shorter than him, dressed very lightly, resembling the Barbaric Girl. She wore only a bra on top and a short skirt on the bottom, exposing her long legs and arms like lotus roots.

Because she was often in the sun, her skin wasn’t very fair, but the bronze hue had a different kind of allure.

She was not only tall but also very voluptuous, her breasts high and seeming as though they might burst out of her bra, yet her waist was painfully thin, creating a striking visual contrast.

Her features were exceptionally clear-cut, as if carved by a knife, her deep eyes had a hint of blue in them, full of exotic charm.

This was a native; among the outsiders apart from the Barbaric Girl, no one dressed like this.

"I want to have your child!" As soon as this exotic beauty spoke, she said this.
