Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 782: Pursuit and Killing All the Way

Shi Hao had never admired anyone before.

Even when Laogu was so awe-inspiring in those days, gaining the allegiance of the Myriad Sects, Shi Hao remained unmoved, firmly believing that he could do the same if he succeeded in building the Heaven Building Ladder.

Within the Purple Green Secret Realm, he had broken all of Laogu’s records and became the unparalleled best throughout the ages.

This was also clear proof that in a battle on equal footing, Laogu would likely be no match for him eight or nine times out of ten.

However, towards the ancestor who had written the Primordial Scripture, Shi Hao held deep admiration.

The more he studied, the more he felt that these Taoist Scriptures were profound and expansive; although they did not discuss cultivation, they were a hundred times, a thousand times more brilliant than any Cultivation Technique.

Fighting against powerful adversaries and then reflecting on the Primordial Scripture afterwards, Shi Hao gained more insights. Unwittingly, he had stayed in the Immortal Abode for five days, completely losing track of time.

Still not satisfied, he left the Immortal Abode and continued on his journey.

At this point, he believed that Yin Xinran would no longer have the patience to wait any longer and would naturally not make a move on the way.

He arrived at the Teleportation Arrays, paid the fee, and was about to activate the teleportation.

"Asura!" A voice, gritting its teeth in anger, rang out as Yin Xinran swooped down from the sky, reaching out to grab Shi Hao.

Huh, this guy hadn’t left yet?

Shi Hao smiled slightly, hands behind his back, showing no intention of dodging or defending.

Bang!

Before Yin Xinran’s attack could land, someone intervened, countering Yin Xinran’s move.

With a loud bang, Yin Xinran was instantly sent flying.

"This is a sacred place of the Dynasty, how dare you be so reckless?" a cold voice said.

Yin Xinran landed, frowning, and cupped his fists, "I am Yin Xinran, a follower of Venerable Shuanghua. I am here under the command of my master to capture a criminal. Please show some leniency, elder."

The one who had intervened was an Almighty at the Ascending to Saint Position, so he dared not be reckless.

The Almighty did not reveal themselves and without missing a beat, immediately said, "I don’t care who you are. No one is allowed to initiate attacks around the Teleportation Arrays. That’s the rule, and no one is allowed to break it!"

"Considering this is your first offense, I will not hold you to account, but if you attempt to overstep again, I will make sure you regret it."

—If it were someone else, they would not have gotten off so easily, but since Yin Xinran was a disciple of Venerable Shuanghua, he naturally received special treatment.

Privilege exists everywhere.

Although Yin Xinran was upset, could he really afford to antagonize an Almighty at the Ascending to Saint Position?

Besides, this was the Dynasty, and the Imperial Family also had an Almighty at the Heaven Building Ladder rank to oversee, and if he tried to show his strength recklessly, being killed would just be a senseless death. Why would Venerable Shuanghua have any reason to make trouble?

Of course, if there had been no Almighty at the Heaven Building Ladder present, then Venerable Shuanghua would certainly have demanded an explanation since the majesty of the powerful cannot be violated.

Yin Xinran could only wait. When the Teleportation Array was available for use again, he swiftly entered, following Shi Hao.

However, this back and forth delay cost him at least a hundred breaths’ time, and by the time he arrived at the new Celestial Body, Shi Hao was already nowhere to be seen.

"You can’t run away!" Yin Xinran sneered coldly, opening his domain to capture the faint traces of qi left by Shi Hao. After a moment, his cold smile returned as he resumed the chase.

Half a day later, he caught up with Shi Hao again.

"Asura, did you think you could escape?" he sneered coldly.

No sooner had he spoken than the mist began to dissipate again.

Then, Shi Hao closed in and launched the Sky-Flipping Seal, attacking him with tremendous force.

Just like before, he took the hit head-on, injuring his hands slightly, while Shi Hao?

Disappeared without a trace.

What technique did the opponent master? Why could he disappear suddenly, leaving no trace behind?

Yin Xinran stood still for a long time before he finally broke away and left.

Shi Hao, as usual, studied the Primordial Scripture. After every major battle, he would gain new insights and understanding of the scripture, thus an enemy like Yin Xinran was just right for him now.

Not weak, he posed a serious threat, but he wasn’t strong enough to kill him with a single strike either.

He tried to use the Primordial Scripture to further enhance his cultivation and found it feasible. By probing into the essence of heaven and earth, he could better absorb the energy of heaven and earth and deliberate on the Heaven and Earth Rules.

Shi Hao smiled. He was already in the late stages of the Supplementing Divine Temple, and now the speed of his cultivation had suddenly increased. Maybe in half a month, or at most a month, he would be able to light the Incense Flame.

By then, hmph!

He left the Immortal Abode, but in an instant, he sensed a threat.

Yin Xinran descended from the sky and launched an attack on him.

This guy really could endure; he hid nearby for several days.

Indeed, a genius truly lacks neither patience, perseverance, nor self-confidence.

Yin Xinran didn’t know how Shi Hao had disappeared, but since he had vanished from the same spot twice, he naturally suspected that Shi Hao had been hiding there all along using some method.

To prove this point, he had been surveilling the spot all this time.

Several days, ah!

If it had been someone else, they probably would have given up long ago, thinking they were overthinking.

But Yin Xinran had persisted.

This is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person; sometimes, charging into a wall without turning back is actually an advantage.

Shi Hao burst into laughter and engaged in an intense battle with Yin Xinran.

His combat power was far inferior, but that didn’t matter. The nebulous Dharma appearance provided the best cover, and manipulating the flow of time was even more awesome. Although both speeding up and slowing down had minimal effects, and stopping time was pitifully brief, it was enough to influence the course of the battle in such a fierce fight.

Shi Hao held his own against Yin Xinran. He was clearly at a disadvantage, but his tenacity was terrifyingly strong, making him indomitable.

Yin Xinran was infuriated. Speaking of true strength, Shi Hao couldn’t compare to him at all, but Shi Hao had too many tricks up his sleeve that left him powerless, despite his vast strength.

—Not able to land a single hit on Shi Hao, what did crushing strength matter?

Shi Hao fought and retreated. After hundreds of moves, he arrived at a new Teleportation Array.

"Hmph, fighting is prohibited here!" The powerhouse in charge grunted, appearing very dissatisfied.

Both Shi Hao and Yin Xinran stopped fighting. Here, even Yin Xinran dared not act recklessly.

Shi Hao paid the teleportation fee, and so did Yin Xinran. This time he made up his mind, if Shi Hao were to escape using the Teleportation Array, he would immediately follow him. He refused to believe that Shi Hao could escape his grasp.

Shi Hao was in no hurry to leave and sat down cross-legged.

"Asura!"

"That’s Asura!"

"It’s really Asura; I didn’t expect to meet him here."

"My god, I’m seeing Asura with my own eyes."

With people coming and going, someone immediately recognized Shi Hao, causing more people to crowd around with shouts and cries.

Yin Xinran was initially sitting next to Shi Hao, but as the crowd pressed in, he was pushed to the side.

—With no fighting allowed here, could he really kill those pushing him aside?

Then, he saw the Teleportation Array activating.

Shi Hao was inside it, waving at him as he did.
