Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 679: Mother of Gold

A mysterious creature as powerful as the Great Sacrificial Heaven was resolved just like that.

Broken bones littered the ground, but they were just bones.

Crack, the horn in the hands of the young man in white suddenly shattered, scattering all over the ground.

He couldn’t help frowning, "I didn’t expect to use up this treasure so quickly. I need to be more careful from now on. If I encounter another Shadow Demon, I can only retreat."

"However, I’ve already lit the Incense Flame, no one here is a match for me!"

"After paying such a heavy price to get here, I must find the World Tree!"

...

After Shi Hao rushed into the passage, he felt no attachment and immediately moved forward.

Soon, he arrived at the third ring of the palace.

This was the weapon yard.

Weapon racks were everywhere, some small, with weapons the size of a palm or even embroidery needles, but the large ones could match mountains, such as a huge sword, all over in red, as if dripping with fresh blood.

Unfortunately, all the Runes on the weapons were worn off.

So, now these were just ordinary weapons, at best they were made of superior material, winning in sharpness and hardness.

These items couldn’t be taken out, they could only be used here.

Shi Hao walked over and picked up a sword.

However, he just lifted the hilt, and the blade was broken, remaining on the weapon rack.

Time had passed too long, no matter how precious these materials were, they had all turned to decay.

Just like this sword, the other weapons were the same, none were useful.

Time is the most powerful weapon in the world, able to change everything, bury everything.

Shi Hao kept walking in this vast arsenal, but everything had decayed without exception.

After circling halfway, Shi Hao saw many people standing ahead.

What’s going on?

Shi Hao walked over, only to see a piece of metal the size of a thumb floating in mid-air, emitting a faint golden light.

"Holy moly!" the Purple Gold Rat immediately exclaimed, "I have a newfound respect for this Heavenly Palace, that’s the Mother of Gold, the mother of all metals! My god, how did this power acquire it?"

"First it was the Source Soil of Life, and now the Mother of Gold, both are sources of everything!"

Shi Hao also looked at the Mother of Gold, saying, "What’s the use of this?"

"Infusing it into your body can enhance your physique to unimaginable levels," the Purple Gold Rat said. "The Mother of Gold, it’s not inanimate, the source of everything has vitality."

"Just this little bit, can it be used?" Shi Hao asked.

"Of course!" the Purple Gold Rat said. "Don’t say this size, even the size of an ant is enough to drive the people of the Immortal Realm mad! Although it can’t directly enhance an Immortal’s strength, it possesses infinite growth potential!"

Shi Hao nodded, "Then we must get it."

"Thirty-seventy split," the Purple Gold Rat said.

"You thirty?"

"You are the thirty!"

"Fifty-fifty," Shi Hao said sternly.

The Purple Gold Rat thought for a moment, then said, "Alright."

There was no choice, it had lower cultivation and also needed Shi Hao’s help to create chaos, letting it opportunistically steal; otherwise, even if it was impervious to swords and spears, it was just highly defensive.

Shi Hao didn’t act immediately; so many people surrounding the Mother of Gold, yet none of them made a move, clearly it was not out of deference.

He listened to people’s discussions on the side and soon knew the reason.

It was simply that the location of the Mother of Gold was too high, and no one could reach it.

This... damn it!

Shi Hao looked around; it didn’t seem that high, only about ten yards off the ground. Not to mention the Supplementing Divine Temple, even those in the Soul Nurturing realm could easily leap up to it.

He took a few steps forward, then immediately understood the reason.

It turned out that in the area approaching the Mother of Gold, gravity suddenly increased to a terrifying extent. Not to mention leaping up, even standing up was no easy task.

"It’s indeed the Mother of Gold, unaffected by any formation, even turning a large nearby area into a formation-immune zone." Purple Gold Rat remarked on the side, "If we could refine it, we would be unaffected by any formation—of course, that still depends on the realm."

Shi Hao suddenly realized that the Mother of Gold affected the methods of this palace, causing the gravity in the nearby area to be extraordinarily great.

Thus, no one could leap up to snatch the Mother of Gold.

It was truly frustrating—you could only watch helplessly, even with the treasure right before your eyes.

Everyone was reluctant to leave, wracking their brains for a way to obtain this precious item.

Perhaps not everyone had recognized what this treasure was, but its ability to emit light in such a place certainly marked it as a priceless treasure.

Shi Hao wondered whether to directly reveal the secret of his Little Star Universe and snatch the Mother of Gold for himself.

However, just as he was pondering this, a young man in white clothes had already approached slowly.

"Unexpectedly, I would encounter the Mother of Gold here!" The young man in white looked at the Mother of Gold in midair, his face showing a hint of surprise.

Shi Hao was also surprised; he had not expected that there would be a second person who recognized the Mother of Gold.

Who was this person, having such keen eyesight?

In this era, it was impossible that someone had seen the Mother of Gold before, so how did the other recognize it?

"An Immortal Realm person?" Shi Hao quietly asked Purple Gold Rat.

Purple Gold Rat sniffed the air then shook its head, "Doesn’t seem like it, doesn’t have that scent."

"But if he’s not from the Immortal Realm, how could he possibly recognize the Mother of Gold?" Shi Hao said. He didn’t believe any power had such profound knowledge as to allow a junior from their sect to recognize the Mother of Gold.

"Perhaps... he is a descendant of someone from the Immortal Realm." Purple Gold Rat suggested thoughtfully.

This was indeed possible, gaining his knowledge from the Immortal Realm. In this case, his recognition of the Mother of Gold wasn’t surprising.

"Quite arrogant," Shi Hao nodded in agreement.

"This guy lit the Incense Flame, and moreover, he should be much stronger than others of his level," Purple Gold Rat judged. "Little Stone, do not rush forward—let others test his mettle first."

Shi Hao agreed, not afraid to fight, but was at a disadvantage due to his lower realm.

"Who are you?"

"Such an arrogant manner."

"What Mother of Gold, do you recognize this treasure?"

Several people stood out and asked the young man in white.

They were all from the Dynasty, naturally born with a strong sense of superiority, feeling entitled in whatever they did.

The young man in white unveiled a smile, yet filled with lofty pride, shaking his head, "Do you even deserve to question me? My name is Nangong Zheng, and that’s all you need to know."

"Insolent!"

"Audacious!"

"Hmm, such arrogance!"

This naturally provoked everyone’s anger, and several people could no longer restrain themselves, ordering their protectors to attack and kill this Nangong Zheng.
