Nature did not require a hundred years from a past life.
He had once attained the realm, his state of mind was at the Grandmaster level, possessing Grandmaster-level martial arts experience. Chen Hao easily avoided the pitfalls he had encountered on his martial path in his previous life.
In the optimal solution, he bypassed all the pitfalls of his past life and utilized all his martial arts experience from that life.
Within ten years, he had once again ascended from the Postnatal realm to the Grandmaster realm, transforming all his Postnatal true qi into perfect Innate true qi.
Having been reborn and retracing the path of martial arts, it was naturally extremely smooth, and he would not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching Grandmaster.
Having already become a Grandmaster, he knew that among the young generation in Yun Country, no one was his match. Thus, he traveled through the thirty-six kingdoms, seeking to cultivate higher martial arts realms through bloody battles.
The reason he did not do this in his past life was that he had achieved Grandmaster status when he was already eighty or ninety years old. With his aged and frail body, doing so would have been futile.
But this life was different.
This life, he was a young Grandmaster, naturally possessing sufficient stamina to engage in bloody battles across all directions and pursue higher realms.
Being able to achieve Grandmaster in ten years was because Chen Hao was already at that realm in his past life. Having reached it himself, the speed of retracing it was extremely fast.
As for how to progress from the Grandmaster realm to the Great Grandmaster realm of Heaven-Man Resonance, that was a realm he had not reached in his past life.
Chen Hao had only broken through to the Great Grandmaster realm after countless bloody battles against the young generation and even renowned martial artists in the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms.
For the past fifty years, Chen Hao had challenged countless strong practitioners, and many so-called reclusive masters had fallen beneath his sword.
The name "Martial Maniac Chen Hao" spread throughout the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms, striking fear into the hearts of many strong practitioners.
This was because this madman enjoyed improving himself and gaining insights through life-and-death battles. Consequently, many strong practitioners who accepted his challenge and died, including those who lived in seclusion, were found by him even in the deepest mountains and forests, forced into a battle, and ultimately met a tragic end.
Could such a record not instill fear in these martial arts powerhouses?
They practiced martial arts to better enjoy life, not to be sought out by a martial maniac for a life-or-death duel while living peacefully.
They simply could not comprehend how someone could detach themselves from the pleasures of beautiful women, wealth, and worldly amusements, practicing martial arts for the sake of practicing, and disregarding all consequences.
Ultimately, the martial arts powerhouses who feared Chen Hao united and laid a trap. Three hundred experts, each at least at the Grandmaster level, besieged him, all with the sole purpose of killing him.
However, they failed.
Only three hundred skeletons remained.
"Only a little over three hundred..."
Chen Hao's gaze swept across the surroundings.
He felt that the trap laid by these people was not yet over.
As expected, his premonition was correct.
The earth rumbled.
The armies of Li Country and Dong Country arrived in unison.
Among the millions of soldiers, every soldier was a Postnatal martial artist, and at least ten thousand Innate martial artists formed battle formations to surround and kill him.
This was not an army composed of ordinary people, nor an army from ancient Earth.
It was a legion formed with Postnatal and Innate martial artists as its foundation.
Under the encirclement of millions of soldiers possessing extraordinary power, even a peak Great Grandmaster would find it difficult to escape death.
This was the ultimate kill trap set by those who harbored hatred for him.
"Fight!"
"Let's see if I can break through to the Supreme Great Grandmaster in this battle."
Chen Hao, with his own strength, confronted the armies of two countries, a million-strong force.
In his eyes, there was not a trace of fear.
With a peak Great Grandmaster cultivation, confronting a million-strong army had only two possible outcomes.
Either he would break through to the Supreme Great Grandmaster during the bloody battle and snatch the heads of the generals amidst the million-strong army, causing the legion to retreat.
Or, he would die.
For Chen Hao, death was merely an automatic reload.
The worst outcome would be to live another life.
He had nothing to fear.
Returning to his youth, he could re-cultivate with the martial arts insights of a peak Great Grandmaster.
In another fifty to sixty years, he would naturally achieve even more brilliant accomplishments than in this life.
Death, for him, was not necessarily a bad thing.
Therefore, he had no fear.
One day later.
A piece of news spread throughout the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms.
The generals of Li Country and Dong Country, under the command of His Supreme Majesty, had killed the Martial Maniac Chen Hao, who had become a demon through martial arts and killed everywhere.
Chen Hao, in a bloody battle with the million-strong army, suffered severe injuries. However, in the midst of life and death, he forcibly broke through his realm and advanced to the Supreme Great Grandmaster.
No mortal army could stop a Supreme Great Grandmaster, not even a million soldiers, a million elite troops.
Amidst the thousands of troops and horses, Chen Hao took the heads of the generals of both countries and departed with grace.
All the kingdoms were shaken.
In the imperial courts of the two countries, Chen Hao's figure appeared, terrifying the two rulers of Li Country and Dong Country with boundless fear.
Rulers, His Supreme Majesty, the Emperor, wielded immense power. Even Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters were merely their subordinates, relying on imperial authority.
However, a Supreme Great Grandmaster was entirely different.
This realm was the ultimate limit of martial arts, the pinnacle of the martial path. Even within the imperial palace, with layers of guards protecting it, it was impossible to stop an assassination by a Supreme Great Grandmaster.
"Chen Hao, Li Country is one of the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms. The thirty-six northwestern kingdoms are supported by cultivators!"
"If you openly assassinate an emperor, breaking the unwritten rules of the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms, then true cultivators who have attained enlightenment and comprehended the heavens will descend."
"Do you dare to challenge cultivators? Do you dare to confront cultivators?"
The Emperor of Li Country, with a pale face, uttered these words as if issuing a threat.
Chen Hao did not reply. He merely extinguished him with one hand, raising his fist and sending the emperor to hell.
Half a day later, the Emperor of Dong Country passed away.
The emperors of both Li Country and Dong Country were eliminated.
This act of a martial artist forcefully transcending imperial dynasties, while earning the admiration of martial artists worldwide, truly angered the cultivators behind the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms.
These rogue cultivators controlled the political power of many countries, acting like supreme emperors, above the thirty-six northwestern kingdoms.
The rulers of Li Country and Dong Country were merely their dogs.
They were dogs used to rule the mortal world.
Even a dog's owner must be considered when striking.
Now, Chen Hao had openly torn up the unwritten rules and forcefully killed the rulers of two countries. To them, this was a blatant slap in the face, and retaliation was inevitable.
There were twelve major realms in cultivation.
Bigu, Kaiguang, Ronghe, Xindong, Jiedan, Jindan, Yuanying, Chuqiao, Fenshen, Heti, Dujie, Dacheng.
The northwestern region was a barren land for cultivation. The strongest rogue cultivators were only at the Kaiguang stage.
In the Central Plains' cultivation world, they were merely outer disciples of immortal sects.
However, in the northwestern cultivation desert, within these thirty-six kingdoms, they were truly invincible existences.
A cultivator in the early Kaiguang stage made a move.
