Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 425 - 415: Stimulating Physique

Demon Heaven took a long breath, and the demon patterns on his body instantly lit up, brilliantly bright, forcibly suppressing the glowing light that enveloped him.

He had employed the power of his physique.

Fat Cat mentioned that the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body had two major powers. Firstly, activating the demon patterns could significantly enhance both offensive and defensive power; secondly, opening the Firm Eye—sacrificing one’s lifespan to extinguish an opponent’s vitality.

The stronger the inherent strength and physique of a Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body, and the more lifespan sacrificed, the more of the opponent’s vitality could be extinguished.

Now, Demon Heaven had used the first ability of his physique, activating the demon patterns to enhance his own combat power.

—Unless he truly faced a formidable opponent, he would definitely not use the Firm Eye, as it would also consume his own lifespan, a double-edged sword that harmed the enemy a thousand and oneself eight hundred!

Chu Hao was also spirited in combat, facing a rare opponent that made his blood boil.

In truth, he too was fond of battles.

"With demon patterns activated, I’m invincible!" Demon Heaven said coldly, his figure darted out, attacking Chu Hao once again.

Chu Hao let out a long howl, meeting him with his fist raised.

Bang!

Fist against fist, they clashed emitting a dazzling bright light that nearly blinded those who saw it.

Many nearby involuntarily shut their eyes, and when they opened them again, they saw Chu Hao and Demon Heaven had exchanged who knows how many punches, bursts of light exploding one after another like the dawn of creation, terribly formidable.

The people who had already retreated couldn’t help but pull back even further to avoid being caught in the aftermath—it was indeed deadly.

After several exchanges, Chu Hao couldn’t help but be secretly amazed. There truly was a variety of physiques in this world, even one that stimulated one’s own potential like this. Actually, this was similar to the Firm Eye harming the enemy, both were a kind of overexertion, except the Firm Eye’s overexertion of lifespan was naturally much more severe.

The most frightening aspect was that Demon Heaven was also an Innate Body Cultivator, so he could almost endlessly operate the power of his physique, his combat power was relentless and seemingly inexhaustible.

"Submit to me!" Demon Heaven said indifferently, "Let’s see how much potential you still have, I can take you as a follower. When my name reverberates throughout the world, you’ll share in the glory too."

"Hahaha, you really boast shamelessly. We can talk about it after you actually beat me!" Chu Hao laughed heartily.

"Oh, do you think you have any other possibility besides surrendering?" Demon Heaven arrogantly said, his arms fully activated with demon patterns emanating light like snakes.

Chu Hao’s smile vanished, he knocked his fists against each other and said, "Wait until I beat you into a pig’s head, then you’ll learn your lesson."

"Presumptuous!" Demon Heaven glared, "You really don’t understand respect, it seems I must properly teach you a lesson."

"Perfect, we both want to beat each other up, let’s see whose strength is greater!"

"Fight!"

The two young kings unleashed their might again, the scene was incredibly intense.

"I didn’t expect the scoundrel to actually meet his match!" Gu Qingcheng was somewhat anxious, "Fat Cat, that guy won’t lose, will he?"

"Meow, it’s Lord White Emperor to you!" Fat Cat argued point by point, "Don’t worry, the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body is only the fifth strongest physique, it’s nothing compared to the Taiyang Body."

"But aren’t they evenly matched right now?" Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes.

"That’s because Hao’s physique has yet to reach perfection. Otherwise, the Taiyang Body can refine all powers, a mere Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!" Fat Cat spoke disdainfully.

"So what do we do now?" Gu Qingcheng flirtatiously turned her eyes, "You’ve got lots of underhanded tricks, go and backstab that tattooed freak!"

"Pfft!" Fat Cat immediately spurted, "My lord is upright and honest, how can you say I have underhanded tricks?"

"In any case, that scoundrel absolutely cannot lose, otherwise this miss is done playing with you!" Gu Qingcheng turned unreasonable, hands on her hips speaking to Fat Cat.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, Chu boy’s the type whose potential is stimulated as his enemies grow stronger. Since they are of the same realm, Chu boy definitely cannot lose," Fat Cat said.

"...Is this what they call the ’masochist type’, who must be battered and bruised, only then to unleash his potential and reverse the situation?"

"Pretty much that!"

Chu Hao did not want to be the masochist type, struggling hard to win. Thus, he also stimulated his own physique, his left hand formed a fist unleashing the Green Flame, his right hand turned into a palm emitting Starlight. This was his strongest form unarmed, and his attack power was actually no less than when using a sword.

—This was because the Deep Blue Sword could hardly withstand his current powers of Starlight and Green Flame, otherwise the Mad Thunder Sword Technique would still be his strongest martial technique.

The two young kings both unleashed their physiques, maximizing their combat power. Whether it was Starlight or Green Flame, any remnant waves released were guaranteed to severely injure even a regular Eighth Tier Warrior.

This sight made everyone shudder in horror, and some even looked stupefied, unable to believe that warriors could be this powerful.

Chu Hao, thrilled by the fight, went full force, fists and palms striking in sweeping motions, and Demon Heaven, undaunted, chose to face him head-on.

The two were almost indistinguishable in terms of Star Force levels, and both had also reached the limits of Body Technique as Warriors. It was a tie once again, so now, it came down to which of their physiques was stronger.

Although there was a significant difference in their physical limits, with one being the strongest and the other only the fifth strongest, as long as neither surpassed the fifth rank, their physical limits actually had no meaning.

Now, they were both around the fifteenth flow, and they had once again reached a draw.

The effect of the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body was to increase strength and defensive power, whereas the Taiyang Body had only temporarily endowed Chu Hao with the power of Green Flame, a flame that could incinerate everything like a peerless Divine Sword.

Thus, after both had stimulated their physical potential, the effects were naturally quite different.

Demon Heaven’s strength had increased, while Chu Hao’s attack became even more threatening, as his Green Flame could tear through the enhanced defense of the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body. However, since Demon Heaven also practiced Body Technique, the lethal effectiveness of the Green Flame was also diminished.

Although Demon Heaven’s strength had greatly increased, he still couldn’t penetrate Chu Hao’s defense, but he used his Shocking Force, punching Chu Hao’s body and creating explosions inside him, which could also cause great damage to his relatively tender internal organs.

One was covered in blood, the other pale-faced, both significantly injured.

"What a tough opponent," Chu Hao thought to himself, yet his fighting spirit surged even higher. Among equals in battle, this was the first opponent he had ever faced who was truly a match for him, stoking his fighting desire intensely.

Demon Heaven’s eyes also sparkled, his body’s aura flowing unrestrained, with more demon patterns lighting up on him.

His ability to amplify strength was controllable; the more demon patterns he activated, the stronger his power became. However, correspondingly, this would deplete his strength more quickly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two continued to clash fiercely, neither wanting to lose momentum.

Chu Hao felt as if his body was boiling, being hit repeatedly by the Shocking Force penetrating his body and exploding inside his organs, causing him immense discomfort. After all, he wasn’t an Innate Body Cultivator, and his organs couldn’t possibly be cultivated to be as tough as his muscles and bones.

If this continued, then he would win, but at a great cost.

What could he do?

Chu Hao always felt that he hadn’t fully activated his physical potential because a first flow physique should not only possess Green Flame that enhanced his attack power but should also improve in defense.

Wait, actually, he had another ability that appeared even before the Green Flame.

Flame Furnace!

Every single cell in his body could turn into a Flame Furnace, refining all power, yet he had always considered this ability supplementary, only using it to refine Pills and Spirit Fruits he consumed, never thinking about using it in combat.

The opponent’s power... could it be refined as well?

If so, this ability would be powerful!

Let’s try it.

Chu Hao’s eyes were somewhat wild; he was indeed a bit of a ’masochistic’ type, especially under enormous pressure, which made him fully excavate his potential, becoming more resilient under pressure.

Boom, Demon Heaven threw a punch, clashing with him, and the Shocking Force exploded through his hand bones inside his body.

Flame Furnace, activate!

Chu Hao roared internally, opening every single cell and blazing the Flame Furnace.

"Chu Hao, I have now activated all my demon patterns, and my strength can be enhanced threefold. How can you be my match?" Demon Heaven laughed heartily, fist after fist, his black hair wildly flying about, like a demon, overwhelmingly tyrannical.

Chu Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth but revealed a smile. Just now, he had refined one ten-thousandth of his opponent’s strength.

That’s right, just one ten-thousandth, yet it thrilled him immensely.

Because it proved his guess was correct; the Flame Furnace could indeed refine the opponent’s strength. It was only because he had just activated this ability and was not yet adept at it that he could only refine one ten-thousandth.

"So what?" Chu Hao said solemnly, his fighting spirit blazing like Fen Tian’s fire, so apparent that bystanders were involuntarily shaken, nearly bowing in worship.

"Hmph, I have just undergone the Ancestral Pool ritual, and the escalation in my cultivation in the coming period will be beyond your wildest imagination. Today, your defeat at my hands means you will never be able to catch up with me, only falling further and further behind!" Demon Heaven arrogantly declared.

"What, this guy has just undergone the Ancestral Pool ritual!"

Those who understood what these four words meant were utterly shocked. For the Gu Clan’s descendants, the Ancestral Pool ritual was the biggest chance of their life, allowing them to advance two to three major realms in just a year or two.

"No wonder Demon Heaven is so powerful even though he’s only a Warrior. It turns out he’s just undergone the Ancestral Pool ritual."

"Exactly, otherwise he would definitely have caught up with those true freaks and entered the ranks of the War King."

"I thought he was just a madman, but it turns out he’s truly this powerful!"

"With the relics opening in about two or three years, there’s a great chance he will step into the War King Realm by then. At that time, he’ll be eligible to compete for the supreme position in the Heaven Talented Assembly, and there will definitely be a place for him!"

"He’s right, this Chu Hao, freakish as he may be, still can’t compare to him."

Amid the shocked exclamations of the crowd, Demon Heaven’s assault surged like a tide, clearly dominating the scene. Chu Hao, who had previously been exchanging blows equally, seemed suddenly dispirited.(To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for it at Qidian.com.
