Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 688: Domineering Annihilation

Hou Tan was first stunned, then overjoyed.

He knew that Shi Hao must have used some Forbidden Technique to boost the power of his strike to such a terrifying extent, but after that blow, Shi Hao was like a crippled man.

So, you’re asking for death?

He was about to make his move and personally finish off his opponent when he barely lifted his hand and suddenly, Shi Hao’s figure disappeared.

What’s going on?

Can you use the Invisibility Technique?

He didn’t believe in such sorcery and frantically unleashed attacks towards the spot where Shi Hao had vanished.

Even if he’s invisible, it just means I can’t see or sense him, he couldn’t have truly disappeared.

Come to death! Come to death!

However, with each strike, there was no sign of anyone suddenly falling out.

Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?

Hou Tan stopped, his face filled with shock and confusion.

How could a living man suddenly disappear like that?

No, even a corpse couldn’t just disappear like that.

He stood there bewildered, clueless about what to do.

"Are you looking for me?" A light laughter rang out, laced with mockery.

Hou Tan hurriedly looked over, and who else could it be if not Shi Hao?

He appeared again?

No matter, kill him!

He charged forward.

"Young Master, you mustn’t!" A Dead Soldier urgently spoke up, leaping in front of him, and lunged at Shi Hao with his right arm.

He wasn’t blinded by rage, keenly aware that Shi Hao had recovered completely instead of appearing weak as before.

River of Time!

This person must have used the River of Time to return to his optimal state, so charging at him would be suicidal.

Shi Hao smiled and once again deployed the Sky-Flipping Seal.

Boom!

After this strike, the Dead Soldier was left with one less arm, but a Dead Soldier is a Dead Soldier; he showed no trace of emotion and kicked at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled, his figure instantly vanishing.

Immortal Abode plus the River of Time allowed Shi Hao to continuously unleash the Sky-Flipping Seal.

Just after a while, he reappeared and slammed an attack towards Hou Tan.

The Dead Soldier blocked, but having already blocked two powerful blows, he was at his limit; how could he withstand a third?

Thump, he was brutally torn apart into a rain of blood.

Shi Hao’s figure disappeared again, entering the Immortal Abode for the third time.

Hou Tan: "..."

That’s no way to play.

Explode in power and suddenly disappear, then recover with the River of Time, instantly back to full health.

How is one supposed to withstand this?

He gritted his teeth and quickly turned to run.

No more fighting, he better save the last use of the Golden Bell to seize an opportunity for himself, otherwise, he really came here for nothing, and might even lose his life.

"Why are you running?" Shi Hao suddenly reappeared again, swiftly catching up to him.

Truly like a ghost appearing and disappearing.

Hou Tan clutching the Golden Bell, said, "If you come any closer, I’ll use this Treasure Instrument to blast you into dregs."

This is of the Great Sacrificial Heaven level.

"I don’t believe it!" Shi Hao laughed and charged forward.

He believed that after this strike, the Treasure Instrument would likely collapse.

So, taking the risk was worth it.

"I’ll accommodate you!" Hou Tan gritted his teeth, setting aside other concerns in the face of mortal danger, and suddenly, the Golden Bell activated, unleashing a terrifying attack towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao could have sought refuge inside the Immortal Abode, but he chose to resist forcefully instead.

Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, Star River entwined, come!

Boom, the attack of the Golden Bell thundered towards him, and the nine lotuses instantly shattered upon impact. The attack continued, bombarding Shi Hao’s body. The Star River brilliance played its role again, completely blocking the attack from the Golden Bell.

But by doing so, Shi Hao no longer had the capability to block a second strike—the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique could not be sustained indefinitely.

Hou Tan was stunned, his mind a whirlwind of confusion.

The Golden Bell’s might couldn’t kill Shi Hao?

Are you really from the Founding King Court?

He roared loudly, launching the Golden Bell’s attack towards Shi Hao once more.

Shi Hao smiled and swiftly retreated. freeweɓnovel.cøm

His aim was simple: to force Hou Tan to use the Golden Bell, depleting the uses of this Treasure Instrument.

Hou Tan chased after him with the Golden Bell, now sure that Shi Hao’s defenses couldn’t possibly be that strong—it had to be a major move needed to counter the attack from the Golden Bell.

Die! Die! Die!

He was now utterly mad, forgetting everything else.

But in less than half the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the light emitted from the Golden Bell quickly dimmed, and in the moment the light disappeared, the Golden Bell itself shattered, ceased to exist.

"Now, what move do you have left?" Shi Hao said indifferently.

Having said that, he turned and charged towards Hou Tan.

Hou Tan knew running was futile; his speed could never match Shi Hao’s. He could only grit his teeth and continue fighting.

Boom!

With one strike, Hou Tan was instantly torn apart, then each piece of his body continued to split, until he was completely reduced to dust.

Sky-Flipping Seal!

Shi Hao’s figure flashed, and he returned to the Immortal Abode.

Why did he use such a powerful move?

A quick battle and a swift resolution. After all, entering the Immortal Abode to comprehend the River of Time, he could recover completely in an instant.

So, what’s there to waste words on a minor character like Hou Tan?

Poor Hou Tan, a noble of the Dynasty, yet he died so silently.

Upon entering the Immortal Abode, Shi Hao saw the Purple Gold Rat still lying within the River of Time, cultivating with sheer pleasure.

This guy, really sneaky!

He quickly also jumped in, took out the Mother of Gold, and simultaneously refined it while pondering the Primordial Scripture.

The Purple Gold Rat, originally focusing on contemplating the Primordial Scripture, immediately bit into the Mother of Gold upon seeing it, refusing to let go at all.

"You darn rat, I didn’t say you couldn’t refine it; let go!"

"Pah, even death won’t make me let go!"

"It’s all saliva!"

"So what if it’s saliva, my saliva is cleaner than Jadescent Nectar, not dirty at all!"

This stubborn rat was unyielding, leaving Shi Hao no choice but to let it continue biting.

This fellow trusts no one; thus, of course, it’s only reassured by gripping tightly onto valuable items.

Shi Hao, speechless, could only refine the Mother of Gold with this creature.

With the aid of the River of Time, the man and mouse swiftly refined this precious treasure.

The chunk of Mother of Gold grew smaller and smaller, and both Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat glowed with a golden brilliance. However, as soon as the Mother of Gold completely vanished, the glow on their bodies also disappeared.

Returning to simplicity and truth.

Refined a trace of the Primordial Essence!

Though this essence was meager, and it was split between a man and a mouse, the seed of the primordial essence was sown, yet its potential was boundless.

The man and mouse didn’t immediately leave but took advantage of the remaining time in the River of Time to continue contemplating the Primordial Scripture while refining the Star Core.

Only half a day had passed in the outside world, and Shi Hao with the Purple Gold Rat emerged from the Immortal Abode.

Their cultivation had only improved slightly, but the transformation in them was earth-shattering.

Whether it was the Mother of Gold or the Primordial Scripture, both were the most valuable treasures in this world. Once refined and absorbed, how terrifying would the enhancement to their strength be?

"Now, I actually want to battle Nangong Zheng!"
