Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 1273: Fierce Struggle for Supremacy
Shi Hao put away the Immortal Elixir and continued to search.
He had the Little Star Universe to perform the most subtle sensing, and after cultivating the Nine Deaths Heaven Skill, he was not afraid of the immense pressure here, making him feel like a fish in water.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they could certainly come out, but wouldn’t last long; otherwise, their bodies would be crushed by this terrifying compression, even a fully tempered body couldn’t withstand it.
This also shows how strong Shi Hao’s physique is now.
With the Nine Deaths Heaven Skill and Immortal Rule tempering, his physique could now rival the true Silver Spirit Immortal Gold, not just approach it.
Of course, his internal organs were not fully tempered yet, but it’s okay, as skin, flesh, bone, and blood provide protection. To injure his internal organs with the Force of Shock, what level of power would the opponent need to possess?
Combat power at fifteen or sixteen stars might still not be enough.
Shi Hao was very satisfied; worthy of being an unparalleled Cultivation Technique created by a quasi-Immortal Venerable, it was truly incredible.
However, if a quasi-Immortal Venerable is so powerful, what about a true Immortal Venerable?
Shi Hao put away his slight pride; Immortal Kings stood high above, Immortal Venerables were even more ethereal, but one must never deny their existence, especially when Immortal King Ziyue was persecuted to death by an Immortal Venerable, which is proof enough.
— Immortal Venerables do exist in this world.
Since there are Immortal Venerables, there must be heirs trained by them, who would have mastered astonishing Secret Techniques, wouldn’t they?
Shi Hao quickly put aside such distractions and focused on finding opportunities here.
After over ten days, he had gained considerably and gradually reached the central area of this Star Lake.
Originally, almost no one had time to come to this Star Lake, but this time because of Yue Ying’s interference, the Wanxing River opened for much longer than before, so Shi Hao arrived here, let alone others.
Boom!
He suddenly sensed the fluctuations of a battle ahead.
It wasn’t a battle between people, but... Battle Halls!
He approached slightly, and then opened the Little Star Universe, immediately seeing clearly that all thirty-six Battle Halls were here, attacking each other to compete for... a piece of Immortal Gold.
This is—
Shi Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly, Immortal King Gold!
Heavens, Immortal King Ziyue had left a piece of Immortal King Gold here, no wonder even heirs from the Summit of the Stars are fighting desperately.
What extravagance is this?
But then think about it, Immortal King Ziyue was half a step into becoming an Immortal Venerable, even created a Supreme Device, so taking out a piece of Immortal King Gold as the ultimate reward isn’t that surprising, is it?
One can only say, this Immortal King is generous!
Even if there were descendants of the Immortal King here, who among them could possess an Immortal King Artifact?
So, they fought desperately, all wanting to claim this piece of Immortal King Gold as their own.
Here, their own combat power lost significance since none of them had attacks as strong as those launched by the Battle Halls, so everyone stayed within their Battle Halls to attack others, obliterating opponents.
Theoretically, all Battle Halls are equal in attack and defense, which makes it fair, so the key lies in control.
Some Battle Halls operated less flexibly, while others changed endlessly, not only with tricky movement trajectories, but their attacks were also sudden and hard to defend against.
As the battle dragged on, one could see some Battle Halls were already beaten and falling apart, while others remained intact.
Shi Hao quickly spotted the Battle Halls of Su Manman and Woo Yueyi; naturally, they joined forces, yet the situation was dire as they were targeted by an unknown group of five, leaving them flustered, nearly at the brink of collapse.
Hmph!
Shi Hao immediately flew over with his Battle Hall.
"Junior Sister Su, Junior Sister Woo, give up resisting." A voice came from one of the attacking Battle Halls, "If you leave now, you can still search for other treasures, but if your Battle Hall gets blown up, you will end up with nothing!"
"That’s right, we’re all heirs of the Immortal King. Once victory is decided, why persist?" A voice from another Battle Hall echoed.
Currently, the thirty-six Battle Halls had split into alliances, some teamed up to eliminate all others, then determine victory amongst themselves, which obviously increased their chances.
Su Manman and Woo Yueyi felt bitter and thought if Shi Hao were here, he would surely have some solution!
But with only thirty-six Battle Halls, all present here, how could Shi Hao arrive?
No matter how talented you are, it’s useless!
"You wait, once we get out, I’ll have Shi Hao beat you up badly!" Su Manman exclaimed angrily, fighting two against five, and their control over the Battle Hall wasn’t especially skilled, fully relying on the Hall’s robust defense, so defeat was certainly a given.
Cold laughter emerged from the five attacking Battle Halls; Shi Hao? Shi Hao who? They were heirs of Immortal Kings or Direct Disciples, would they fear another heir?
Just when the two girls were about to collapse, a Battle Hall suddenly charged out, blocking in front of them.
"So it’s you!" A voice from the Battle Hall emerged, it was Chang Feng, "I’ll join forces with you!"
Earlier, everyone was engaged in fierce battles, so he didn’t have the bandwidth to listen to others, but upon hearing the mention of Shi Hao, he swiftly came over.
These were the boss’s women, he had to stand up to defend them, otherwise, it wouldn’t just be future punishment from the boss; he himself wouldn’t forgive it.
Whistle, another Battle Hall came to shield them: "I am Xuwu Yue, let me lend you a helping hand."
He owed Shi Hao a favor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to enter the Wanxing River, so upon knowing the girls’ relation to Shi Hao, he naturally stood out.
For a moment, Su Manman’s side saw their power surge, now four against five, though still at a disadvantage, it wasn’t as dire.
This unexpected turn shocked everyone; the name Shi Hao held such magic, making Xuwu Yue and Chang Feng instantly betray their alliances to battle for the two women.
"Who is Shi Hao?"
"Yeah, never have I heard that name before."
"Without eligibility to seize a Battle Hall, he should be just a nobody."
"How laughable, someone actually stood up for such a small figure."
Voices of disdain echoed from other Battle Halls; they were all heirs of Immortal Kings, some ranked in the top ten during the gathering at Longyun Plateau a thousand years ago, so naturally, they were proud—those not ranked in the top ten back then were merely scraps in their eyes.
Su Manman couldn’t bear anyone slandering Shi Hao and retorted angrily: "Shi Hao is the best, don’t you dare speak like that about him!"
Someone snickered, "If this Shi Hao you speak of is so great, let him show up, I’d love to see what he’s got!"
"Oh, is that so?" Shi Hao timely arrived.
