Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 89 - : Breaking the Tenth Extreme (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Taohua)

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Breaking the Tenth Extreme (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Taohua)

Shi Hao did not beat around the bush but directly asked about Lin Yueyu’s situation.

“Young Master Shi, I feel ashamed before you!” Chu Fei’s face was full of apologies, “On the ninth day after you left for the Imperial Capital, Miss Lin suddenly disappeared. I’ve been ordering people to search for her without cease, but to no avail; we’ve never found any clue.”

Shi Hao believed Chu Fei wouldn’t dare to deceive him; then, who could Lin Yueyu have offended to be kidnapped?

“What about a young girl named Bai Hua?” he asked.

“She disappeared as well,” said Chu Fei.

Bai Hua was kidnapped too?

...

Shi Hao pondered, wondering who in the County Town would dare to take such a risk to offend Chu Fei by abducting Lin Yueyu and Bai Hua.

Hmm?

He suddenly thought of a person—the real murderer of Murong Hai.

This person was extremely powerful, with a cultivation at least at the level of Martial Sect.

If she made a move, taking away Lin Yueyu and Bai Hua would certainly not be difficult, and she would have no need to fear Chu Fei.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but wonder why this person wanted to kill Murong Hai.

Someone as insignificant as Murong Hai couldn’t possibly offend such an expert.

But now, with Lin Yueyu’s disappearance, Shi Hao linked the two cases together.

What if that person was the one who acted against Lin Yueyu?

The question arose again: if it was that person who took Lin Yueyu and Bai Hua away, where did they go and what was their purpose?

In Shi Hao’s eyes, Lin Yueyu was a business partner, perhaps a friend at best, and as for Bai Hua, she was just someone he temporarily took in out of kindness; to say there was a deep emotional bond would certainly be an overstatement.

However, they were still his own people, and their inexplicable kidnapping still made Shi Hao very frustrated.

He visited the inn where Lin Yueyu had disappeared. Chu Fei was very considerate and had shut down the inn, preserving everything as it was.

Despite Shi Hao’s careful examination, he did not find a single clue, not even a trace of struggle.

Indeed, who would be alerted by the mysterious woman’s abduction of Lin Yueyu with her strength?

If it was her, why did she do it?

This was something Shi Hao could not possibly figure out. Now with all leads broken, he could only set it aside for the time being.

He was burning with anger. Both Lin Yueyu and Bai Hua could be considered his friends, and their mysterious disappearance left him powerless, which made him extremely annoyed.

Not one to give up, Shi Hao stayed in the County Town for half a month, searching for clues everywhere, but to no avail.

He decided to leave for the Imperial Capital, and he was determined not to let the matter rest, eager to drag out the mysterious woman who dared to play him for a fool.

Shi Hao set out with the Fatty, and he also touched the very threshold of Breaking the Nine Extremes.

A million pounds of force!

He found that a sort of heavenly and earthly cage seemed to have formed inside his body, firmly pressing down his strength at this level, making it impossible for him to advance even slightly further.

Theoretically, this was a height completely unattainable for those at the Breaking the Extreme realm, and Shi Hao had already created a miracle.

But he didn’t feel it was enough, and he always believed he could unlock the gates to Breaking the Ten Extremes.

On the way to the Imperial Capital, Shi Hao continued to try, for which he even rented a carriage.

“Pfft!” Shi Hao violently spat out blood.

The Fatty had long since grown accustomed to this; along the way, Shi Hao would vomit blood every day. At first, the Fatty tried to offer some words of persuasion, but after doing so many times, even he himself grew tired of it.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog seemed to delight in Shi Hao’s misfortune, thinking, serve you right, you neurotic human, for poking Dog Master. Now you’ve been smitten by heaven.

Over these days, it had resigned itself, no longer trying to run away, and besides, the food that Shi Hao provided was quite good—much better than what it could scavenge from dumps—and it unwittingly grew content.

Shi Hao did not take it to heart and continued to accumulate using the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture. His physique had been tempered to an incomparably powerful degree, and recently he couldn’t even feel any room for improvement. It was very likely that he had reached the end of his current realm, so he believed that he was qualified to attempt a breakthrough to the Ten Extremes.

Failure after failure did not faze him. Nine months of living like a cripple had instilled in him an indescribable stubbornness toward becoming powerful. Added to his innate character, even if he ran into a wall, he was unwilling to turn back.

Even if he was battered and bleeding, he stood firm in his belief, determined to follow this path to the very end.

And so, Shi Hao coughed up blood along the way, while the power accumulating within him grew more and more terrifying, to the point that it seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

“Stop the carriage!” Three days away from the Imperial Capital, Shi Hao called for the carriage to stop and walked under a large tree. He sat down cross-legged and once again started circulating the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

He had a feeling that today would be the day of the “decisive battle.”

As the Soul Tentacle pulled back a massive amount of energy, Shi Hao felt like his body was a water bag filled to the brim, teetering on the edge of explosion, but without any hesitation, he absorbed more energy, directly breaking through this critical point.

Crack!

His blood vessels burst open, and his bones groaned, threatening to break at any moment.

“Break open for me!” Shi Hao roared in his mind, blindly confident that he would succeed.

Crack!

Several more blood vessels burst, and finally, his bones could no longer bear the pressure; they shattered under the intense force.

But Shi Hao completely ignored it; the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture turned again!

Crack crack crack, click click click, blood vessels burst one after the other, and his bones continued to shatter, releasing a crisp sound.

The chubby friend was so anxious he was running in circles; Shi Hao had turned into a blood-drenched figure.

“Really, why do you have to push yourself to such an extreme? Wouldn’t it be enough to just cultivate casually?” The chubby friend took out Hemostatic Powder, which Shi Hao had prepared in advance, and sprinkled it on him, using it as if it cost nothing.

On the side, the big yellow dog stopped barking as well. It was amazed and respectful; this human was merciless to himself.

“Stone, that’s enough, enough!” The chubby friend urged, trembling with anxiety.

Shi Hao did not heed the advice; he had reached the most critical moment.

Splat!

He spurted fresh blood, and blood also seeped from all seven orifices. His spine was broken.

But the barrier that had been suppressing him also burst apart with a bang.

The ninth extreme, broken!

Boom, an immense power surged within Shi Hao’s body. Although it only increased his strength by a thousand jin, the significance it represented was incredibly astonishing.

The tenth extreme.

Shi Hao took an unprecedented step, breaking through the human body’s limit for the tenth time.

Although it was just one step, how far might it allow Shi Hao to stretch his limits?

When he was at the ninth extreme, Shi Hao possessed the strength of a million jin. So what about the tenth extreme?

But, ouch, ouch, ouch!

Although Shi Hao had not so much as furrowed his brow before, it didn’t mean he felt no pain; he had simply focused all his attention on breaking through to the tenth extreme.

Now that he had achieved his goal, his defenses were down, and naturally, he felt a searing pain.

“Ay, ay, ay, now you know pain, huh!” The chubby friend shook his head while applying medicine to Shi Hao. There was Hemostatic Powder and Bone-Setting Medicine, naturally also refined by Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled: “Let’s not set off for now. I’ll tend to my injuries first.”

The Chu Family was rather courteous to him now, even conferring him the title of Patriot Duke, but everything was built upon his strength. If he were to show up in such a crippled state now, it wouldn’t guarantee that the Chu Family wouldn’t pull something underhanded.

“Nonsense, with you injured like this, I wouldn’t dare to take you on the road!” The chubby friend said in exasperation.
