Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 759: Alive!

Zhang Zhongkong realized, knowing Shi Hao had already unraveled everything.

He let out a loud roar and, summoning all his strength, dashed outward.

Reveal the truth, and beg Shi Hao for mercy?

Was that not a joke? Knowing the full truth, would Shi Hao spare him?

However, he was also being naïve.

Smack, just as he started to flee, he was slapped back by Shi Hao.

Completely outmatched.

Yet, driven by the desire to survive, he ignored the gap in strength between himself and Shi Hao and continued to break out.

Smack, smack, smack, over a dozen times, Zhang Zhongkong repeatedly attempted to escape but was slapped back each time.

Shi Hao was even moved by his persistence and simply exploded him with a punch.

However, the blood and flesh that diffused in the air did not fall; instead, it seemed attracted by an invisible force and moved toward the grand doors.

In just an instant, the blood was absorbed by the doors, and what made Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat’s scalps tingle was the emergence of countless illusory screaming heads on the doors, a sight to chill the bones.

Then the grand doors slowly opened.

The number of sacrifices was enough.

Shi Hao did not rashly step inside; he merely stood outside and watched.

But the inside was pitch black, even his ocular power was obstructed, rendering him unable to see anything.

Shi Hao’s eyes glowed, and suddenly, two beams of light shot into the palace.

Still empty, nothing at all.

"How could this be?" The Purple Gold Rat immediately jumped up.

Shi Hao also furrowed his brow, this did not make sense.

Zhang Family kept making sacrifices, opening one palace after another; they had definitely reaped benefits, otherwise, after opening two or three empty palaces in a row, they should have given up.

After all, deceiving so many people into making sacrifices not only takes effort but also carries a great risk.

However, why was this last palace empty?

"Unless—" Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat glanced at each other.

"There were treasures in the first few palaces, just to lure people into continuously opening them."

"Thus, since this last palace has also been opened, why put any treasures there at all?"

"But, what’s the rationale for doing this?"

Who goes to the trouble of setting up eight palaces, using treasures within each as bait to get people to keep opening them, and then disappoints them with an empty final palace?

If it’s really so, then the person who arranged all this is simply foolish.

Boom, just then, the dome above suddenly trembled, and dust and debris began to fall.

What’s happening?

"Let’s go!" Shi Hao immediately utilized his movement technique and retraced the original path.

The Purple Gold Rat, being clever, had already jumped onto Shi Hao’s shoulder.

With the domain enhanced, Shi Hao’s speed was immensely fast.

In just a moment, he shot out from the broken temple.

Huh?

Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat both paused, only to see that the originally dilapidated temple was now glowing, and an incense burner there, lit by someone unknown, emitted fragrant whiffs wafting into the sky.

"This is not incense flame!"

"Rules!"

Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat both uttered a phrase, then both revealed a look of shock.

"Supplementing Divine Temple!"

This was absolutely a divine temple nurtured in the Soul Sea of some Almighty, now ignited with incense flame and rules in motion.

"Wait!" Shi Hao paused, "Earlier, in the ancient relic, we saw eight palaces, could this be... the Royal Court?"

After a Martial Artist cultivates out nine Royal Courts, they can attempt to vie for the Supplementing Divine Temple, and the temple, in fact, is established based on one of those Royal Courts.

So, if it was as Shi Hao had guessed, this place was a Divine Temple, with naturally only eight Royal Courts left.

"Damn it, is this person still alive?" The Purple Gold Rat gasped in shock, revealing a look of alarm.

To be able to manifest the Royal Courts and the Divine Temple as if they were real, what kind of cultivation would that require?

The key question is, which powerhouse would do such a thing?

Compelling people to sacrifice flesh and blood, what was the purpose of that?

"Corpse Dissolving Demon Skill!" The Purple Gold Rat suddenly thought of something, visibly shaken, "Little Stone, run quickly, this person isn’t dead!"

Bang!

Shi Hao immediately soared into the sky; at this moment, he couldn’t care less about revealing his secrets.

Whoosh, he flew far away, then landed.

The dilapidated Divine Temple was now in the far distance, rumbling loudly. The entire mountain trembled and then twisted, transforming into a human shape.

It was astonishing, a mountain had actually turned into a human!

"That broken temple, those palaces, they are this fellow’s Divine Temple and Royal Courts!"

In the shocked gazes of Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat, the humanoid rapidly shrank, turning into the size of an ordinary person.

Whoosh, just then, a group of people flew down from the sky.

—The travelers Shi Hao had encountered before, among them was a Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouse, who was now leading the remaining ten people over.

The urgency of a Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouse to come over like this clearly indicated that they too had noticed the great disturbances here.

"It’s you again!" One of the young men looked at Shi Hao and shouted, "Tell me, what happened, why is that mountain gone?"

He really was full of contempt.

Previously, Shi Hao had not taken issue with him because he was focused on unlocking the ancient relic, but now... heh heh.

"If I told you that the mountain turned into a person, would you believe me?" Shi Hao said with a smile.

"Pfft!" The young man immediately burst out laughing, then showed a sneering expression, "Do you think I’m an idiot?"

Shi Hao smiled broadly, "If you weren’t an idiot, why would you repeatedly provoke me, doing such suicidal things?"

"You’ve got some nerve!" The young man arched his eyebrows and was about to make a move.

The Great Sacrificial Heaven Elder extended a hand, stopping the young man, showing a trace of displeasure.

Is this the time for complications?

"Young man, what exactly happened here?" the Great Sacrificial Heaven Elder asked Shi Hao.

Shi Hao pointed at the young man from earlier: "Let him apologize to me first, then I’ll talk."

"Dream on!" The young man pointed at Shi Hao, nearly going mad with rage.

You really have the gall of a Celestial Dragon to be so arrogant?

Yet the Great Sacrificial Heaven Elder spoke sternly, "Peng Ding, apologize to him."

He was eager to know the truth and naturally couldn’t be bothered about a junior’s pride.

Peng Ding trembled with anger, but he was just a minor Self-Observation practitioner, how could he dare to haggle in front of a Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouse?

"Sorry!" He gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly.

This set a deadly enmity between him and Shi Hao. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The Great Sacrificial Heaven Elder calmly said, "Now, can you speak?"

Shi Hao nodded, "Just now, that mountain turned into a person, so, the mountain disappeared."

Good grief!

Hearing this, those on the opposite side all felt like cursing.

You tricked Peng Ding like this before, and now you still want to mock them?

Do you think they are all fools?

"You really are courting death!" The Great Sacrificial Heaven Elder said somberly, suddenly reaching out to grab Shi Hao.

The only reason he hadn’t acted before was just out of laziness to do so.

A mere Supplementing Divine Temple, he could crush it easily with a slight pinch.
