71: Chapter 71 The Little War Emperor and the Little Chaos

The newcomer had disheveled golden hair, eyes like a blazing sun, and a handsome, resolute face. He bore a seventy percent resemblance to the portraits of the War Emperor in ancient texts, but with an added edge of youthful sharpness.

He wore a set of ancient battle armor covered in cracks and bloodstains. The armor's style was rugged, and it was permeated with Evil Qi.

It was the old armor his father, the War Emperor, had worn while conquering the starry sky in his youth.

On his shoulder, he carried a pitch-black and heavy Immortal Iron Staff. Upon the staff's body, two brilliant Battle Runes complemented each other.

One emitted a dense imperial aura that suppressed the ages, while the other carried a soaring Battle Intent, wild and unrestrained.

Most shocking of all were the two faint phantoms that naturally manifested behind him.

On the left, a golden-armored god of war stood tall between heaven and earth, holding a Battle Halberd. As his eyes opened and closed, it seemed as if galaxies were being created and destroyed; it was the imprint of the War Emperor's Dao shadow from his younger days!

On the right, a Violent Ape Dharma Idol roared towards the heavens, holding a giant staff. Its Battle Intent was so fierce it seemed ready to incinerate the firmament; it was the manifestation of the Battle Saint Venerable's battle soul from his youth.

Although they were only two phantoms—manifestations of the resonance between Bloodline and Dao charm—the will to fight heaven and earth and the feeling of being matchless that they exuded could be truly felt by everyone present.

The newcomer was none other than the Little War Emperor, with a cultivation level at the First Heaven of the Great Saint Realm. However, the pressure and Battle Intent he released made many veteran powerhouses at the Fourth or Fifth Heaven of the Great Saint Realm feel a stinging sensation on their skin, their gazes turning solemn.

"The Little War Emperor is here! The Little War Emperor is here!"

"Heavens, this aura... this pressure... it's too terrifying. He's clearly only at the First Heaven of the Great Saint Realm!"

"It's too frightening. This terrifying aura... is this the Little War Emperor? He truly lives up to his reputation."

"The War Emperor's Bloodline plus the personal guidance of the Battle Saint Venerable... My god, these two phantoms make it impossible to even think of resisting!"

"The foundation of three Supremes in one clan... I've finally seen it with my own eyes today!"

In the crowd, Jiang Hao looked at the little fellow who was radiating golden light and acting incredibly arrogant, his lips twitching imperceptibly.

This little golden-haired kid... he really grew up to have this kind of temperament.

This arrogant and flamboyant young face before him could faintly overlap with the memory of that little ball of flesh he had held in his arms at the Saint Ape Ancestral Land. Time flies...

Thinking back to when he went to the Saint Ape Ancestral Land, the Little War Emperor was still a baby, still under a Seal.

When Jiang Hao went to the Saint Ape Ancestral Land to see the Battle Saint Venerable, the Battle Saint Venerable specifically unsealed the Little War Emperor so he and Jiang Hao could meet.

First, it was to show off his cute nephew to his good friend.

This was quite normal, just like back on Earth when a good buddy had a cute son or daughter and would show them off to Jiang Hao.

Second, it was to find a backer for his nephew. Although the Battle Saint Ape Clan was powerful, their numbers were unfortunately too few. If the Battle Saint Venerable were no longer around, the Little War Emperor would be all alone.

Naturally, the Battle Saint Venerable was worried.

As Jiang Hao's rival and good friend, the Battle Saint Venerable naturally understood Jiang Hao and knew he was the most likely to prove his Dao.

When looking for a backer, was there anyone greater than a contemporary Dao Prover?

"His Battle Intent is tempered purely enough; that fellow Battle Saint taught him quite diligently," Jiang Hao critiqued in his heart.

Then he added, "But this way of walking, this look in his eyes... Tsk, he's carved from the same mold as his flashy uncle in his youth. He needs a lesson."

Seeing the current Little War Emperor reminded Jiang Hao of the first time he met the Battle Saint Venerable.

Similar attire, the same expression, the same tone of voice...

The Little War Emperor stood in the Void Realm, his golden eyes like lightning as they swept over the dense, silent crowd of spectators below.

Finally, he looked towards the sky, his voice echoing through the starry sky:

"Chu Changge, have you arrived?"

With those five words, his Battle Intent rose another thirty percent, causing the surrounding debris of shattered stars to tremble slightly.

Everyone was filled with wonder; this was the Little War Emperor, a contemporary young Supreme.

They grew more and more expectant of the coming battle. A battle between such young Supremes—it was hard to imagine how spectacular it would be.

At that moment, Chaos Qi silently emerged in the Void Realm.

There was no grand display, no phenomenon, only the gray Chaos Qi spreading out like a mist in the starry sky.

But at this moment, the pupils of all the Great Saint-level powerhouses constricted.

Because they felt that the Chaos Qi was devouring everything.

Then, a figure stepped out from the Void Realm.

This was an ordinary young man with an excessively plain face, the kind that wouldn't be found if thrown into a crowd.

But his eyes were very special.

Within them, it seemed as if Chaos was evolving. Just one look was enough to make one feel dizzy.

A saber hung at his waist.

The blade was forged from feather transformation green gold, and the scabbard was simple.

His aura was also at the First Heaven of the Great Saint Realm, but he felt unfathomable, like an unformed Chaos world.

The newcomer was indeed Chu Changge.

Chu Changge cupped his hands toward the Little War Emperor in the east and spoke calmly:

"Son of the War Emperor, I have long heard of you."

He did not burst forth with Battle Intent, nor did he release any pressure.

But the surrounding Chaos Qi automatically spread, silently neutralizing the Little War Emperor's overwhelming Battle Intent.

At this, the entire scene instantly erupted.

"Little Chaos is here! The spectacular battle is about to begin, I'm so looking forward to it."

"So this is Little Chaos... Truly, one cannot judge by appearances. How powerful!"

"His Chaos Domain has reached Minor Achievement. I feel like him standing there is like a miniature Chaos Universe!"

"That Chaos Qi... I feel like my Divine Sense would be devoured if I tried to probe it!"

"He just walked out like that and the Little War Emperor's Battle Intent was neutralized? How overbearing!"

"The Dao Seeking Sect has produced a True Dragon!"

Feng Xi's gaze swept back and forth between the two, and in the depths of her own eyes, a flicker of a hot flame gradually ignited.

That was the Battle Intent and longing that naturally erupted when a top-tier Prodigy encountered an opponent worth fighting.

Jiang Hao noticed the subtle change in her aura, looked at her sideways, and asked with a smile, "How about it, girl? If you were to face the two of them, would you have confidence?"

Hearing this, Feng Xi's chin lifted slightly, and the innate pride between her brows was fully revealed. She answered without hesitation, "Of course I do!"

Then, she lowered her voice and said with a mischievous smile, "To be honest with you, Senior... I've actually secretly fought both of them before."

"Oh?" Jiang Hao's eyebrows rose slightly.

"I had a fight with that arrogant little golden-haired kid in the uninhabited Star Domain on the outskirts of the Phoenix Realm. We fought for nearly two hundred moves, and neither could do anything to the other. Let's call it a draw," Feng Xi curled her lip. "As for Chu Changge..."

She looked at the calm figure in the field, her eyes showing a hint of recognition:

"I heard he's a rising star who Cultivates the Chaos Scripture. Naturally, I had to go and test him to see if he lived up to the reputation of the Chaos Scripture."

"So, when we were both in the King Realm, I secretly found him and had a great battle."

A light of memory flashed in Feng Xi's eyes.

"We exchanged about a hundred moves. His Chaos Scripture is very troublesome; it can dissolve my Phoenix True Fire. But my Seven-Colored Divine Flame has more variations, and he couldn't crack it for a while. In the end, it was also a draw, and we both retreated. Neither of us made a fuss about it, so not many people know."

She concluded, "Both of them are very strong. They are formidable opponents!"
