Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1574: A Friendly Spar

Following the coastline for almost a full circle, Shi Hao finally recaptured the aura of Immortal King Zi Feng.

As for that Great Medicine, he had also finished refining it.

No wonder it was an Immortal Elixir that even a Nine-Star Immortal King valued. Shi Hao’s cultivation had reached the late stage of the One-Star Immortal King, not far from the peak.

However, this also demonstrated Shi Hao’s abnormality.

Even such a Great Medicine couldn’t allow him to step up a level!

— Before this, he had also refined resources borrowed from the Ice River Immortal King.

Anyway, since he was in the Forbidden Land, he planned to achieve the Two-Star Immortal King before leaving.

Shi Hao had a feeling that once he stepped into Two-Star, his combat power could break through the extreme, and then even a Nine-Star Immortal King would have to call him dad.

But just how strong was a Nine-Star Immortal King who had condensed the Heaven and Earth Wheel?

Shi Hao was very curious, could this compare to breaking the extreme?

First of all, an Immortal King who had condensed the Heaven and Earth Wheel was surely stronger than one who hadn’t, but Shi Hao didn’t know just how strong that meant.

And what about an Immortal like Xuanbing Xianwang?

Even Zhang Tianyu dared not compete with him, just how powerful was he?

"Condensing the Heaven and Earth Wheel is breaking the extreme," the Purple Gold Rat suddenly said.

Oh?

Shi Hao looked at the rat, "You mean condensing a three-ring Heaven and Earth Wheel is breaking the extreme three times?"

"Correct." The Purple Gold Rat nodded.

Shi Hao was curious, if he stepped into Two-Star Immortal King, would he condense the Heaven and Earth Wheel?

"You’re overthinking it," the Purple Gold Rat laughed, "Breaking the extreme is necessary to condense the Heaven and Earth Wheel. It has nothing to do with whether you possess combat power beyond the extreme. However, there are some special cases: some Nine-Star Immortal Kings have condensed the Heaven and Earth Wheel without breaking the extreme."

"Isn’t that contradictory?" Shi Hao said in astonishment, "You said condensing the Heaven and Earth Wheel was breaking the extreme."

"That’s what I said," the Purple Gold Rat nodded, "but there are always some exceptions. Some people, after consuming special Immortal Elixirs, can condense the Heaven and Earth Wheel without breaking the extreme. But this is only limited to one ring; to condense a second ring, one must break the extreme."

"So, an Immortal King with a one-ring Heaven and Earth Wheel may not have broken the extreme, but one with two rings definitely has?" Shi Hao said.

"Smart!" The Purple Gold Rat gave a thumbs-up.

Heh, is that considered smart?

Shi Hao couldn’t be bothered to say more, and followed the traces left by Immortal King Zi Feng to pursue him.

This was considered the inner perimeter of the Forbidden Land, so even an Immortal Venerable couldn’t mark territory here, let alone have Immortal disciples roam; it was exceedingly desolate.

However, before he went far, Shi Hao unexpectedly saw someone.

A young man, undergoing training here.

When Shi Hao discovered him, this person was engaged in fierce combat with a Ferocious Beast.

A prospective Immortal King.

Shi Hao raised an eyebrow. Although this young man was also over ten thousand years old, he could still be considered young, and a young prospective Immortal King like this... out in the world, should definitely cause a sensation.

Indeed, the world is not short of low-profile talents, people who are exceedingly strong yet barely heard of.

Shi Hao just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

He wasn’t the kind to get jealous of talents, or feel the urge to kill them upon seeing them.

On the contrary, he welcomed talent, believing that only through the flourishing of many talents could everyone collectively progress, and he had absolute confidence that he could surpass anyone, unafraid of any so-called genius.

"Wait!" The young prospective Immortal King suddenly launched a surprise move, pierced the Ferocious Beast with a sword, and with a leap, blocked Shi Hao’s path.

Without speaking, Shi Hao merely watched the young man.

Although he didn’t envy talents, if someone dared to provoke him, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to act.

"It’s remarkable that you’ve made it this far." The young man smiled and extended a hand to Shi Hao, "Nice to meet you, I’m Feng Xuan."

Shi Hao could have ignored him, having no obligation to get acquainted, but the other’s enthusiasm made him reluctantly reciprocate, extending his own hand, "I’m Shi Hao."

"Huh, I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere," Feng Xuan said thoughtfully.

Shi Hao sighed. This fellow probably hadn’t heard of him for a long time, while holed up in the Forbidden Land, hence why his name felt familiar yet hard to place.

"Brother Feng, I have other matters to attend to. How about next time?" Shi Hao said.

"Ah, it’s rare to meet someone here, Brother Shi, this is fate!" Feng Xuan, however, would not let Shi Hao leave, "Brother Shi, how about we spar a bit?"

"After a spar, I’ll be able to leave?" Shi Hao asked.

"Haha, what kind of statement is that, Brother Shi!" Feng Xuan laughed, "Of course. Let’s spar; I’ve been here for too long, only battling Ferocious Beasts, it’s truly dull."

If you’re bored, why not leave the Forbidden Land for some fresh air?

Shi Hao retorted in his mind, but since sparring wouldn’t take much time, he figured he might as well humor him.

"Go ahead," he said calmly.

"Brother Shi, are you ready?" Feng Xuan asked.

Shi Hao smiled and beckoned him with a finger.

"Here I come!" Feng Xuan shouted, charging at Shi Hao.

Bam!

Shi Hao slapped him, and Feng Xuan flew back at a faster speed. With a thud, he crashed into a distant mountain wall, embedding there and passing out.

Oops, seemed I used a bit too much force.

Shi Hao reflected, but there was nothing to be done; his strength had been growing rapidly, occasional loss of control was to be expected.

Alright then, time to move on.

Shi Hao turned to leave; he considered it a minor episode.

However, after just a few steps, he sensed two strong auras approaching.

Hmm?

He raised an eyebrow slightly; these were two Immortal Kings, and one of them had a very familiar aura.

Immortal King Zi Feng.

But the aura of the other Immortal King was even stronger than that of Immortal King Zi Feng!

Oh?

Whoosh, the two Immortal Kings arrived, one of them naturally being Immortal King Zi Feng, while the other was a burly middle-aged man, his face covered with a beard like a lion king.

"F-Father... Father!" Feng Xuan, shocked awake by the aura of the two Immortal Kings, mumbled in a daze.

"Xuan’er?" The burly man seemed quite puzzled: why was his son embedded in the mountain like that?

"What happened to you?" he asked.

Feng Xuan was confused; having been knocked out and sent flying by Shi Hao, he had no recollection of what happened at that moment.

He only knew he was about to spar with Shi Hao, and then his memory cut off.

Could someone have ambushed him?

"Friend Cang Bei, this is Shi Hao, and it’s likely he knocked out your son," Immortal King Zi Feng said on the side.
