Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 690: Insight into Essence

Compared to the thirty-seven forces Meng Tian’s sword had previously slashed out, the force emitted by the Tai’a Sword was as high as one hundred and ninety-three.

In this regard, it could indeed be called a formidable move, an ultimate move.

Moreover, the more forces there were, the more complex their convergence was, meaning the difficulty of resolving them also increased.

What’s that saying?

High aspirations but low abilities.

This is a derogatory term, however, taking its literal meaning, Shi Hao was exactly in this state now; he clearly saw the mystery of the Tai’a Sword, but due to the overly complex convergence of forces, and the sword’s speed being too fast, he was unable to resolve it.

——To forcefully try to resolve it would not be possible to complete in time, and he would only get blasted.

It couldn’t be helped, Shi Hao’s grasp of the Primordial Scripture was just a tiny bit of the surface, which was more than enough to dissolve ordinary attacks, but against a major move, he still fell short quite a bit.

Shi Hao didn’t care, he launched the Purple Thunder Spear, attacking Meng Tian head on. freēnovelkiss.com

Zi, lightning flashed, and the Sword Qi shot by the Tai’a Sword was instantly reduced by half, but there was still half that continued slashing towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao made another move, pointing a finger and striking precisely at the convergence of the Sword Qi’s force, causing the Sword Qi to instantly shatter and disperse in all directions.

Having shattered half of it, if he still couldn’t resolve the rest, then that would be greatly underestimating him.

An ultimate move, resolved just like that.

Meng Tian was somewhat stunned. He did not expect that his sword could kill Shi Hao, but at least it should have thrown the opponent into disarray for a while, allowing him to take the opportunity to launch another major move, and with a set of consecutive strikes, take down Shi Hao.

But Shi Hao resolved it so easily, rendering his subsequent techniques futile.

This young man was too monstrous.

Meng Tian’s killing intent blazed, the opponent, despite being doomed to be pinned down in the Founding King Court for life, naturally had a physique that restrained his Green Wood Physique, and how had not many days passed, yet his strength had again grown by so much?

Such a person must die.

Yes, after squeezing out his secrets, kill without mercy.

"To not return the favor, would be against etiquette!" Shi Hao roared with laughter, launching a counterattack against Meng Tian.

Sky-Flipping Seal!

Having grasped a bit of the Primordial Scripture, even if only a smidgen, Shi Hao found that not only could it enhance the power of ordinary attacks, but it did the same for major moves.

But this did not include the Purple Thunder Spear.

Why?

Because this major move was not one he had truly mastered, but rather he had directly obtained the corresponding Runes, and now it was these Runes at work, naturally resulting in the attack.

It was as if... he wasn’t the one who executed the attack, but just supplying the power for it.

As such, he was more of an observer and naturally could not enhance its power.

The Purple Thunder Spear was so, and the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique was the same.

However, any major move that Shi Hao himself comprehended and mastered could be enhanced.

His previous comprehension was not deep enough, and now with the help of the Primordial Scripture, he had a better insight and corrected some minor errors, making the convergence of forces more reasonable, naturally resulting in greater power.

The Sky-Flipping Seal had the greatest power, and Shi Hao used it first.

Boom, this was an Immortal Technique, a strike that completely extracted Shi Hao’s power, turning it into a golden handprint, pressing down towards Meng Tian.

This time, Shi Hao modified several forces’ combinations; although his own power hadn’t changed much, it increased the power of the Sky-Flipping Seal by a tenth.

This was quite astonishing, even frightening.

Meng Tian was shocked, how could the Founding King Court unleash such a terrifying attack?

It was almost approaching the Great Sacrificial Heaven realm.

However, the strike was too fast, he simply couldn’t dodge it.

He could only block.

"Ah!" he roared, his physique activating as green branches extended from inside his body, wrapping around him completely.

Bang!

The golden handprint struck, and the green branches immediately shattered into countless pieces of light, as Meng Tian too spewed blood from his throat, his figure being forcefully blasted away.

But what was shocking was that he hadn’t died, and to even talk about serious injuries was far-fetched.

This!

You should know, Shi Hao’s strike was incredibly close to the level of Great Sacrificial Heaven, yet Meng Tian had blocked it without paying a large price, and he hadn’t even lit up the Incense Flame.

No wonder his reputation was prominent, a man of the Kingdom but respected by many bigshots of the Dynasty; some even harbored intentions of recruiting him.

Just from this, it was truly awesome.

However, Meng Tian knew the difficulty himself.

It seemed as if he had effortlessly dissolved the attack, but did anyone know the price he had paid?

This was the power of his physique, and the destruction of the green branches was a significant injury for him, requiring a great deal of time to recover.

Fortunately, the attack launched by Shi Hao was a desperate one, and after that strike, his aura too rapidly plummeted; he couldn’t possibly launch a second strike, let alone a normal attack.

Haha, you’re seeking your own death.

Whoosh, Meng Tian came in for the kill.

Shi Hao smiled and immediately entered the Immortal Abode.

Huh, where is he?

Meng Tian arrived, only to find Shi Hao gone, appearing somewhat bewildered.

A full-grown man had just vanished like that?

What the hell?

His eyes searched and eventually fixated on the Purple Gold Rat.

This was Shi Hao’s accomplice; surely it knew where Shi Hao had gone.

The Purple Gold Rat, on the other hand, was beating its chest and stomping its feet, a face full of the pain of loss: "This wasteful kid, squandering my River of Time again!"

They had left behind just a little of the Time Liquid, to be used in special situations because combined with the Immortal Abode, it was extremely useful, allowing Shi Hao to burst forth indefinitely.

But was it necessary to use the Time Liquid now?

Playing with this youngster slowly, didn’t you have a chance to win?

At least, they had just discovered a section of the River of Time, so this loss could naturally be made up for.

"This wasteful kid, you can’t just squander because you have something new!" The Purple Gold Rat was still indignant, its pain palpable.

"Rat, what are you muttering about?" Meng Tian asked, "Where did that boy go?"

"I’m not a parasite living in his stomach, how should I know?" The Purple Gold Rat spread its little paws, indicating that it was clean.

"Hmph, if you’re not willing to cooperate, then I’ll capture you first and question you slowly!" Meng Tian’s eyes were stern.

"Ten, nine, eight..." The Purple Gold Rat began counting down.

"What are you counting down for?" Meng Tian was startled.

"When I count down to zero, Little Stone will descend from the sky and beat you up, you jerk," the Purple Gold Rat said in a cryptic manner.

"Good, I’m quite looking forward to his appearance," Meng Tian sneered. Unfortunately for him, it was impossible for the guy to show up.

—With his weakness at that time, how could he possibly recover without half a day’s rest?

"Zero!" The Purple Gold Rat announced the final number.

But nothing had changed.

Damn it, how embarrassing!
