Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 671: The "River" of Time

Xu Yue desperately tried to resolve the situation.

In this life-or-death moment, he erupted with astonishing potential.

Indeed, if one digs deep enough, anyone can become a genius.

The problem was, all he could do now was take a beating, so what kind of splash could he possibly make?

Shi Hao’s attacks were relentless, but he was already injured. The longer the fight went on, the weaker he became. This affected his will to fight, and if it weren’t for his intense desire to live, he probably would have given up long before.

Still, there was some tenacity in him.

Shi Hao swung the Court’s Fist, preparing to deliver the final blow to his opponent.

Boom, the Royal Court materialized, four layers high!

Even at such a time, Xu Yue was taken aback.

What the hell?

A four-layered Royal Court?

Are you building blocks or what?

However, the next scene shocked him even more because he saw the bizarre Royal Court start to twist and then transform into a giant fist that came crashing down on him with great force.

This can’t be a dream, right?

Xu Yue really thought he was having a nightmare. Otherwise, how could a Founding King Court be so monstrously powerful?

He was from the Supplementing Divine Temple, and even an Incense Flame bearer at that!

How could he possibly lose? How could this be happening?

However, the punch from the Court’s Fist was already on its way.

This one punch covered an area of thirty feet. Given that he couldn’t change his shape right now, how could he possibly dodge it?

He could only block.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Under the succession of heavy blows, Xu Yue began spitting out fresh blood.

Damn it, is this really condensed by the soul?

It’s clearly forged from ten-star Precious Metal. It’s too damn twisted.

After more than a dozen blows, he couldn’t take it anymore. He was hit squarely by a punch, his head burst open, and he became a bloodied figure.

Shi Hao showed no mercy. For someone who sought to kill him, he had only one way to reciprocate.

Kill!

Boom, after a few more punches, Xu Yue’s body disintegrated, turning into scattered blood and flesh floating in the starry sky.

Shi Hao adjusted his direction slightly and swiftly moved downward.

This was naturally another celestial body, but only one-third remained. One could see that the interior of the shattered celestial body, because it had been compressed, had a very dense quality. Ordinary soil could compare to six or even seven-star Precious Metal.

It was somewhat similar to a Dwarf Star, but the Dwarf Star was far more compressed. Thus, in terms of density, this couldn’t compare to a Dwarf Star.

Thankfully, there was no gravity, so no matter how dense it was, it wouldn’t feel heavy and could be easily lifted.

Since only one-third was left, naturally, there was no Star Core.

Shi Hao took out the Spirit Exploration Compass to check, but the compass still showed nothing. He then expanded his domain to search but again found nothing.

He wasn’t discouraged. If it were so easy to gain something, that would be too simple.

This place was indeed a treasure trove, but it was not a place where one could just reach out and obtain something.

He leaped and headed toward another celestial body.

A few thousand miles was only a matter of half an hour for him.

He landed, took out the Spirit Exploration Compass again, but still, it showed nothing. Expanding his domain again, he was startled.

He had found something!

He quickly walked towards that place.

In this place, no one would dare to run so fast because, without gravity, if one moved too fast without being able to grab onto something on the ground, there was a good chance they would end up running off into the sky.

Soon, Shi Hao reached the spot.

What had he discovered?

A small puddle.

However, what was in the puddle was not water, but the constantly evolving flow of time!

This is the River of Time!

Uh, more like a tiny puddle of Time, about to dry up.

Shi Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly wanted to scoop up this puddle and store it in his Spatial Spirit Tool, so that when he wanted to cultivate, he could go into closed-door cultivation for half a year to a year at a time.

However, as soon as his hand stretched out, he sensed a terrible aura pressing down on him.

How oppressively heavy!

Shi Hao slowly withdrew his hand and then turned around to look behind him.

There stood a tall young man, ordinary in appearance, but his body was radiant with a blue glow, as if he were a divine spirit.

Meng Tian!

Shi Hao took a deep breath. This young man was not simple. From the first glance he took at him, Shi Hao had the feeling that this was a formidable enemy.

Of course, his so-called adversary was relative to the gap in their cultivations. If they were on the same level, Shi Hao believed he could sweep away any opponent.

Meng Tian, too, was looking at him and spoke indifferently, "I’ll take this Water of Time."

Shi Hao did not mention anything about who came first; in the ancient relic, everything depended on strength, and the powerful could gain everything.

—If you can’t afford to lose, don’t come to the ancient relic.

Here, there was no royal law, no morals, no rules—the only iron law was power.

He beamed with a smile, "I was just thinking about having a battle with you."

"You?" Meng Tian shook his head. What a joke, did you, the Founding King Court, really think you could battle with him?

Who was he?

An absolute genius, his lofty reputation was built through battle after battle. The number of geniuses he had stepped on was countless.

Shi Hao let out a long howl and charged towards Meng Tian.

"Hmph!" Meng Tian extended his hand and pressed towards Shi Hao.

Boom!

Their powers clashed, and Shi Hao was immediately sent flying backward, while Meng Tian remained smooth in motion. Because the earth was too hard, he could not dig his feet in and had to use friction to dissipate his force.

Fortunately, the ground was uneven, which quickly helped him to dissipate his momentum completely.

He looked at Shi Hao in surprise, finding the power of the Founding King Court to be too overwhelming. Shi Hao was only slightly weaker than him, fully comparable to the average Supplementing Divine Temple without an ignited Incense Flame.

Shi Hao flew all the way back until he slammed into a mountain peak, where he finally stopped his retreat.

Indeed strong!

His fighting spirit burned fiercely—the stronger the opponent, the higher his morale soared.

Not surprisingly, it was Meng Tian, strong enough to be compared with those who had an ignited Incense Flame, even stronger than Xu Yue, whom he had battled before.

There are no unmerited reputations under great renown.

Come on!

Shi Hao returned to the fray, expanding his domain and elevating his combat power.

Meng Tian stepped forward to meet him, exchanging moves with Shi Hao.

He truly was a genius, with an amazing combat intuition. Even without a domain, his control over the battleground was incredibly sharp. Although still not quite on par with Shi Hao, he had the upper hand in strength and was evenly matched.

Strong, truly strong.

Shi Hao reflected in his heart, but his attacks grew more and more fierce—such a good opponent was not to be missed.

Meng Tian was also shocked that someone from the Founding King Court was able to match him blow for blow!

Although he had not used his full strength, he believed that Shi Hao also had powerful moves he had not yet revealed.

Remarkable indeed, how could someone from the mere Founding King Court be so strong? He had to admit, he certainly wasn’t this strong during his own time at the Founding King Court.

But he immediately "realized" that Shi Hao must be cultivated through a Secret Technique. While his same-level combat power was terrifyingly powerful, he fundamentally had no potential for further advancement.

With this thought, he was filled with disdain.

Only fools would be willing to do that.
