Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 885: Shi Zhong Returns

Entering the Mortal Realm means being bound by its rules, even Immortals are no exception.

Unless, you possess the ability to counter the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Mortal Realm.

But this is something even an Immortal King cannot achieve, and it comes with inevitable consequences, which for ordinary Immortals, such consequences are enough to lead them to their doom.

The key point is that Copper Armored Immortals, Silver Spirit Immortals, and the like, even if they come to the Mortal Realm, can at best exhibit Absolute Summit combat power, heavily suppressed by the realms, and if they exert anything beyond, they will be sent back to the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, convincing them to risk everything to kill Shi Hao is unrealistic.

At the very least, it requires the action of a Golden Immortal to temporarily break free from the suppression of the realms and unleash true Immortal Level attacks.

But would any Golden Immortal do such a thing?

It’s extremely likely to cause them to perish, no matter how loyal Master Qian Ji’s subordinates are, could they be that devoted?

Impossible.

To cultivate to a Golden Immortal takes great difficulty, why should they sacrifice it for a mere Great Sacrificial Heaven act?

Thus, only Master Qian Ji can personally intervene.

Originally, Shi Huayun planned to request Master Qian Ji to make a move, but upon realizing Shi Hao possessed an Immortal Abode, she had to abandon this thought.

Even if a Jade Immortal intervenes, can they truly break through an Immortal Abode?

That’s the handiwork of an Immortal King.

Shi Huayun pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, as you wish!"

After speaking, she turned and left.

Shi Hao smiled; even though he sets such conditions, who at Ascending to Saint Position can kill him?

On Yunding Star, he can extract the Power of Faith from all beings, and wield treasures like the Striking God Whip, even Shi Huai with a Blazing Heaven Talisman was nearly shattered soul, what difference does it make who comes?

Except for one person.

Shi Zhong!

He is a formidable genius not lesser than Shi Hao, thus, under Shi Hao’s conditions, only Shi Zhong might be able to kill him. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

And Shi Hao’s intention is exactly this; having Shi Huayun bring Shi Zhong over, he wants a deadly showdown with him.

As vast as the sky and earth are, seeking Shi Zhong in the boundless Universe is unrealistic, so it’s better to let Shi Huayun bring Shi Zhong over.

Shi Hao doesn’t want his conflict with Shi Zhong dragging into the Immortal Realm to be resolved.

Afterwards, the Anti-Stone Alliance was late to realize, only launching attacks days later, but Shi Hao entered the Immortal Abode before them and offered the same conditions.

This left the Anti-Stone Alliance helpless, having no choice but to agree to Shi Hao’s conditions.

— Even if you destroy Stone Country, so what? As long as Shi Hao lives, once he steps onto Heaven Building Ladder, he can equally sweep the world.

Thus, at least they have been left with some hope now.

So long as the challenge does not exceed Shi Hao by two realms, in a fair battle, Shi Hao absolutely will not flee.

Therefore, the Anti-Stone Alliance deploys massive forces to confront the Stone Kingdom army while simultaneously cultivating talents for a death match against Shi Hao.

If talking about Great Sacrificial Heaven, there’s certainly no way, no matter how they devise strategies, it’s impossible to nurture a genius capable of defeating or even killing Shi Hao, but Ascending to Saint Position is different.

Shi Hao’s combat power is merely a step more than one, not yet reaching two, hence someone at two steps can match Shi Hao, while three steps might even hope to kill him.

However, considering Shi Hao’s numerous tactics, four steps would be safer.

The problem is, three steps already qualify for attempting Heaven Building Ladder, four steps for Ascending to Saint Position?

Even the Sword Emperor was just so back then.

Finding another outstanding genius like the Sword Emperor, how difficult that is!

Eleven days later, Shi Zhong returns, proclaiming to the world and challenging Shi Hao for the emperor’s throne.

— He is also a Stone Clan member, previously the Young Emperor, possessing immense fame.

The news spread, causing a stir in Stone Country.

Shi Zhong returned, challenging the current Emperor Shi.

Shi Hao didn’t hesitate, immediately responding— Battle!

Whosoever wins shall become the Emperor of the Stone Kingdom.

This battle is set three days hence.

After the news spread, the Anti-Stone Alliance specifically ceases fighting and sends envoys into Stone Country to observe the battle.

"You actually didn’t need to accept the challenge." Gu Tong also returned, saying to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao shook his head, "I must fight Shi Zhong, and doing so this way is better; our victory or defeat determines Yunding Star’s fate."

— If he loses, then Yunding Star is nearly destined to be refined into a Spiritual Artifact.

Against anyone else, Shi Hao could temporarily avoid confrontation, but not Shi Zhong.

This is his mortal enemy; he absolutely cannot weaken his fighting spirit; otherwise, he may be psychologically scarred, fearing Shi Zhong forever in future days.

Conversely, Shi Zhong is the same.

They are both exceptional; so exceptional that only one should be in an era, yet now there are two, destined for a death match, only one can stand proud.

Two days later, Shi Zhong enters the Imperial Capital.

Citizens gathered in shock, racing to see the former Young Emperor.

Shi Zhong wore a confident smile on his face, and at his side was Shi Huayun, radiant as ever.

Another day passed, the day of the showdown.

Shi Hao arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, accompanied by Weng Nanqing, Gu Tong, and Purple Gold Rat.

"Clan brother, today’s battle decides life and death!" Shi Zhong soared into the sky, booming, emitting light akin to a grand sun, dazzling.

Shi Hao also slowly ascended, reaching the same height as Shi Zhong, silently gazing at him.

After months apart, Shi Zhong’s progress is similarly astounding, his aura deep and unfathomable, yet likely still within the Great Sacrificial Heaven level, although how many sacrifices exactly, Shi Hao could not determine.

— The domain extended forward but touched something resembling an endless abyss, unfathomable.

Shi Zhong too was scrutinizing Shi Hao, equally not daring to underestimate him.

"A battle determines life and death!" Shi Hao nodded, solemnly said.

Shi Zhong roared, initiating the attack.

Boom!

The two clashed with a strike, both of them quivering, flying backward.

With this strike, they were evenly matched.

Both were certain the opponent’s regular combat power was equivalent to their own.

Did anyone hold back their strength?

Impossible, they are the supreme prodigies of this era, without any need to stoop to such tactics.

"Come!"

The two charged at each other again, combat power fully unleashed, aiming their moves at one another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Spectacular lights kept exploding in the sky, waves of energy echoed overhead, leaving people astonished.

Too strong, they’re both too strong.

"Such geniuses appear once in tens of thousands of years, enough to shock the world, and now two appear simultaneously, both from the same clan, it’s simply unbelievable!"

"If they could join forces, they’d truly be invincible."

"Sadly, today one of them is destined to fall."

"Shi Hao? Or Shi Zhong?"

The crowd was filled with exclamations, each person deeply shocked.

Even many who had Ascended to Saint Position were stunned, considering if they were to fight, they’d likely already be defeated.

Thankfully, thankfully, they did not have to get involved and suffer such humiliation.
