Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 710: The Shadow Demon Sea

What situation is this?

Shi Hao’s expression immediately turned stern, as the words "Shadow Demon" flashed through his mind.

Even Yue Ying had mentioned this name before, saying that with Shi Hao’s current level of cultivation, he was not qualified to contend with the realm of Shadow Demons.

From this, it could be seen that these creatures must be extremely terrifying.

"Shadow Demons!" Liu Chenghua and the others exclaimed in horror, their expressions filling with fear.

Even in the Immortal Realm, these demonic entities were something that would cause everyone’s face to pale upon mention.

Shi Hao’s gaze swept over, and judging from the aura emitted by these Shadow Demons, they should all be at the Supplementing Divine Temple Level—this was also the result of the suppression by the Ancient World. However, the sheer number of them was truly terrifying, continuously pouring out from the World Tree.

They surged forth like a landslide, seemingly endless.

In an instant, Shi Hao and the others were surrounded by Shadow Demons.

Not only that, but someone hiding in the shadows was also forced to reveal himself due to the assault of the Shadow Demons, fleeing over.

Nangong Zheng.

"Everyone, the Shadow Demons are mighty, and there is no possibility of coexistence between us. One of us must be eradicated, so how about we join forces to fight against them?" Yi Gao immediately proposed.

Bai Anping and the other five nodded in agreement. Although Nangong Zheng did not speak, he also implicitly consented to the proposal.

He felt it was very unjust.

He had been acting like a siskin all along, never expecting to encounter Shadow Demons acting as hunters. They suddenly burst forth, giving him no time to hide and forcing him to show himself.

Shi Hao, however, shook his head: "No need!"

Boom—he charged at Liu Chenghua and the other six.

So what if there were Shadow Demons? A grudge must be avenged. Besides, he had the Immortal Abode; if worse came to worst, he could just dive into it. How could the Shadow Demons of the Supplement God Temple Level, no matter how numerous, possibly pursue and kill him inside it?

Besides, he was close to reaching the Supplement God Temple Level himself. Once he broke through, his combat power would be even more overwhelming.

"You really lack a sense of the bigger picture!"

"To fight among ourselves with Shadow Demons at our front!"

"Damn it!"

"Despicable!"

Liu Chenghua and his six-member group hurriedly brought out their Spiritual Artifacts and bombarded Shi Hao, for with their strength, they were no match for Shi Hao individually.

Bai Anping and the others exchanged glances and joined the melee as well.

Their attack target was... Shi Hao!

Having pursued them all the way here, could Shi Hao, with his nature of holding grudges, possibly spare them?

Moreover, Liu Chenghua and his companions were guests from the Immortal Realm!

So, even though they had some dirty dealings with Liu Chenghua and the others, reason compelled them to make such a choice.

At this moment, the tide-like Shadow Demons also came killing forward.

A three-way fray.

Now, with the weakest force being that of the Shadow Demons, lacking a being of the level of the Great Sacrificial Heaven to control the scene, and with Shi Hao now at the combat strength of Great Sacrificial Heaven, Bai Anping and the others could also unleash the combat power of the Great Sacrificial Heaven while using their Spiritual Artifacts.

Yet, the number of Shadow Demons was simply too great, and killing them seemed an endless task as more and more poured forth after each batch was slain.

Moreover, Shi Hao was still exchanging blows with Bai Anping and the others.

Thud—Wang Tianyu was sent flying out, landing amidst the group of Shadow Demons. He let out a cry of terror, desperately attacking with his Spiritual Artifact. Indeed, he killed numerous Shadow Demons, but as endless Shadow Demons surged over, he was ultimately overwhelmed.

However, just a moment later, the Shadow Demon dispersed, revealing a person enshrouded in black qi, and it was vaguely visible that it was Wang Tianyu behind the dark aura.

At this time, Wang Tianyu was completely transformed, his whole body radiating a cold and gloomy air. In his half-concealed eyes flickered an extremely icy gleam.

Whoosh, Wang Tianyu charged forward, his fist unleashing a punch that sent waves of the dark qi billowing. Incredibly, his strength had increased by a great margin.

Huh?

Shi Hao showed no mercy, continuing to strike fiercely. He landed blow after blow on Liu Chenghua, eventually killing him, then tossed his body out.

The Shadow Demon surged over, and as the black qi receded like the tide, the body of Liu Chenghua stood up as though alive. However, his combat power was obviously much weaker than Wang Tianyu’s.

Shi Hao made a judgment, Shadow Demons could possess both living bodies and skeletons, enhancing their combat power, but when attached to a living person, their combat power became even stronger.

"Shi Hao, you will not die a good death!" Another person was thrown out by Shi Hao, issuing a curse of extreme misery.

Shi Hao ignored it. You all want to kill me, yet expect me to show mercy?

How absurdly naive.

At this point, everyone was giving it their all, playing every card they had.

However, there were simply too many Shadow Demons.

Unless one could maintain the combat power of the Great Sacrificial Heaven constantly, they would ultimately be devoured by the sea of Shadow Demons.

After a short while, everyone except for Shi Hao was wiped out, all possessed by Shadow Demons, transformed into unholy abominations.

Shi Hao gave a faint smile and activated his physique.

Hum, positive energy overflowed, he seemed like a furnace, emitting rolling waves of heat. His vital essence surged vibrantly, reaching for the skies.

Shadow Demons that rushed toward him were like moths to a flame, instantly incinerated, turning into wisps of light smoke.

His physical constitution had a profound restraining effect on the Shadow Demons.

Shi Hao didn’t need to lift a finger. Now, with the strength of the Great Sacrificial Heaven activated, his Ten Suns Body was terrifyingly unstoppable, burning all Shadow Demons to ashes wherever he went.

The Shadow Demons that were entwined around Bai Anping and others were the same. Killed by the positive energy, even while the hosts were alive, once the Shadow Demons departed, they turned into the living dead.

Shi Hao scanned with his soul and found that their Soul Sea was empty, long devoid of any soul’s presence.

But after just a brief moment of glory, Shi Hao’s expression drastically changed, and he quickly grabbed the Purple Gold Rat and hid inside the Immortal Abode.

Yue Ying’s borrowed power was about to end.

Though Shi Hao could sweep the Supplementing Divine Temple, looking at the number of Shadow Demons, it was still best not to court death.

"Phew, that scared me to death, so many Shadow Demons!" The Purple Gold Rat patted its chest, acting frightened, "By the way, how did you suddenly get the combat power of the Great Sacrificial Heaven? Xiao Shi, what treasure are you hiding? Share with me quickly."

Shi Hao just chuckled, then turned his attention back to the Shadow Demons outside.

Having lost their target, these Shadow Demons aimlessly wandered around, and after a while, they returned to the World Tree, their gaseous bodies easily merging into it.

"This is tricky," frowned the Purple Gold Rat. "With so many Shadow Demons gathered, how are we going to find a usable World Tree Branch?"

After pondering for a moment, Shi Hao smiled and said, "Simple. Once I break through the Supplementing Divine Temple level, their numbers will be useless!"

By then, he would activate his Ten Suns physique, which alone could repel the multitude of Shadow Demons, making them too fearful to come near.

"Great, you break through quickly!" urged the Purple Gold Rat.

The World Tree, oh, with it as the Incense Flame, the strongest Supplement God Temple will be forged.

Shi Hao sat down cross-legged, taking the Star Core and the River of Time to use, accelerating his cultivation.

"Three months" later, he pushed his cultivation to the peak of the Founding King Court, reaching Perfection without flaw.
