Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 665: Securing a Spot

The Starry Sky Storm burst open.

What a terrifying explosion it was?

With one strike, Shadow Mountain’s entire body was sent flying out, booming like a cannonball.

"Pu!" While in midair, Shadow Mountain began to vomit blood.

If it’s said that Peng Yan lost due to carelessness, then the same was true for Shadow Mountain.

He had estimated Shi Hao highly enough, but he could never have imagined that Shi Hao could unleash a power so fierce that even a practitioner of the Incense Flame realm would bleed from the mouth.

He underestimated his opponent! He was careless!

Shi Hao’s demonic capabilities had surpassed common sense; he was simply a monster.

He forcibly twisted his body, trying to stabilize the situation and fight again.

Because if he lost, then this battle for dominance would be over.

—Remember, who were he and Peng Yan?

Both were the cream of the crop of a kingdom, emerging victorious from thousands of competitors, and yet, they were defeated by a member of the Founding King Court.

If this were known back in their countries, they would be laughed to death.

However, how could Shi Hao give him a chance?

Bang! Bang! Bang! He took a quick step forward and delivered punches like rain.

Shadow Mountain managed to block with difficulty, but it didn’t take many moves to expose his weaknesses, and Shi Hao seized the opportunity to beat him furiously again.

This was so dreadful that even King Ming of Jian Yuan Country couldn’t stand it and conceded defeat proactively.

Thus, this battle for slots among the three kingdoms came to an end.

"Prince Annan, while your Heavenly Frost Country might feel exhilarated by this, squandering such a talent is a huge loss for you in the future!" Prince Annan angrily said.

"Heh, you needn’t worry about this," Prince Ning replied, his heart swelling with delight, his face naturally bearing a smile.

King Ming took another long look at Shi Hao and then led his people away.

He agreed with Prince Annan’s argument, Shi Hao was fierce now, but at the cost of his future progress.

Moreover, this defeat of Shadow Mountain and Peng Yan was also due to their underestimation of Shi Hao, who could expect a member of the Founding King Court to be so fierce?

So, they might not necessarily lose again in the next battle, especially since they could further advance to the Great Sacrificial Heaven realm?

Martial arts, after all, must follow the right path; how long can crooked ways prevail?

Prince Annan also left with a cold sneer. Having suffered a setback, would he possibly launch an army to strike back?

He just couldn’t swallow his pride.

However, before leaving, both princes signed and agreed for Shi Hao from Heavenly Frost Country to represent the three major dynasties in entering the Ancient World.

Shi Hao got this proof and smiled slightly.

He didn’t return to Heavenly Frost Country but went directly to the entrance of the Ancient World.

"Take care on your way, and await your return," Prince Ning simply said.

Shi Hao nodded, "I will definitely come back!"

He indeed owed Tai Da a great favor this time, and the Prime Minister as well, even if he could not repay them shortly. But after coming out of the Ancient World, he still had to make a trip back to Heavenly Frost Country; he couldn’t just leave without saying goodbye.

The entrance to the Ancient World was in the Dayan Dynasty.

Two thousand years ago, when the Dayan Dynasty was still a kingdom, its Crown Prince Jin Huai’an entered the Ancient World and found a sensational adventure. Afterwards, he concealed his identity and wandered the world to temper himself.

By the time neighboring and even imperial dynasties recognized him as a significant threat, Jin Huai’an’s rise was unstoppable.

After ascending to the throne, he elevated Dayan Country from a kingdom to an empire, expanding its territory by many times, even conquering Heaven Seal Dynasty, the overlord of Dayan Country, and inheriting its vast lands.

Now, Jin Huai’an was not only ranked among the strong at the Sky Ladder, but also one of the few capable of being in the top three.

And it all began when Jin Huai’an received a tremendous fortune in the Ancient World; otherwise, at best, he would merely possess the suitability to be an emperor of the dynasty, let alone be the master of the Sky Ladder.

There were many examples like Jin Huai’an, but nobody else had achieved as much fame as he had.

Savoring one legend after another, Shi Hao arrived at an ancient city of the Dayan Dynasty, Hanya City.

The entrance to the Ancient World was right here.

All the while, Shi Hao was also delving into the way of the sword, confident he could advance to the third realm of swordsmanship in a short amount of time.

He stayed in an inn, quietly waiting for the Ancient World to open in a few days, not looking to provoke any trouble.

Two days later, the Dayan Dynasty also initiated an identity check for those qualified to enter the Ancient World, who could then stay at the specially designated Official Mansion and continue to wait for the opening of the Ancient World.

—Right next to the Official Mansion was the entrance to the Ancient World.

Curious, Shi Hao immediately rushed over.

He presented the document signed by the three nations and naturally gained entry.

However, the reception staff was cold and indifferent, paying him no heed.

It wasn’t because he was from the Founding King Court, but because he was from a kingdom, too weak.

This was the Dayan Dynasty, where even dignitaries from other empires were disregarded by the local officials.

There was no help for it; such was the superiority of being a citizen of a major country.

Shi Hao didn’t mind, and he went to inspect the entrance to the Ancient World.

Now, it was just a pitch-black hole, shallow at just nine feet deep, filled with ancient stones, covered in slippery moss and extremely damp.

Clearly, the Ancient World had not yet opened.

This magical place opened once every hundred years, so for the vast majority of people, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

A hundred years was not a precise number, but the deviation was only a few days, so it was fairly accurate.

After a while, Shi Hao turned and left.

"So handsome!"

Just then, two others also strolled over, both dressed in flowing white robes, looking incredibly dashing.

Clearly, they were there to see the entrance to the Ancient World, as there was nothing else in the area.

The two men in white looked to be in their twenties, handsome, and identical in appearance.

Possibly twin brothers.

Both were holding fans, although one had it open while the other kept his closed. The remark had come from the one who had his fan closed.

Encountered a weirdo?

Shi Hao looked at the two, and upon closer inspection, he could not help but grin slightly.

These were not men, but sisters wearing male accessories.

Dressed as men, they appeared charmingly handsome, suggesting that if they were dressed as women, the two ladies must also be heavenly beauties.

Most importantly, as identical twins, their synchronized smiles in matching attire would surely double their charm.

"Don’t speak so boldly!" the one with the open fan quickly chided, then bowed to Shi Hao, "This brother here, my younger sibling here speaks without restraint, please forgive us."

Wow, are you that confident in your disguise, or do you think everyone else is blind, unable to tell if you two are boys or girls?

Shi Hao smiled, "No worries, I really am quite handsome."

Damn, you’re really shameless!
