Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1584: Another Step Forward

Time passed day by day, and Shi Hao’s cultivation also strengthened day by day.

However, the higher the cultivation, the slower the progress.

Thirteen years later, Shi Hao finally reached the peak of the Two Stars Immortal King. After another two months, he pushed forward to Three Stars Immortal King.

So slow, it left him sighing endlessly.

The Illusionary Sea Immortal King, however, rolled his eyes and said, "You call that slow?"

Think about his own experience, how many years did he cultivate when he broke through to Immortal King, and how long did it take him to progress from Two Stars to Three Stars?

Compared to Shi Hao, he was simply a fool!

He was truly shocked. Before, when Shi Hao left, it seemed the Immortal King was still a distant goal, but now, not only had he become an Immortal King, he even surpassed him by a large margin.

This son-in-law really left him amazed.

Originally, Su Manman’s mother’s family was quite displeased with Shi Hao, believing that Su Manman should marry Shi Yun. In that way, the Shi Family could firmly control the Summit of the Stars. But who knew Shi Hao would intervene, leaving Shi Yun disappointed and dismantling the Shi Family’s plans entirely.

But now, who dares to have an opinion?

Immortal King!

Moreover, Shi Hao is not just any ordinary Immortal King but a terrifying existence with combat power that soared to the Nine Stars.

In the future, will he become an Immortal Venerable?

Achieving Immortal Venerable is too difficult, but now everyone holds a glimmer of hope, what if... it truly happens?

So, anyone associated with Shi Hao would all rise to the heavens with him.

Thus, the Shi Family also sought favor with Shi Hao eagerly.

—To put it another way, even if Shi Hao does not become an Immortal Venerable, isn’t he already a formidable Immortal King with enough power?

Shi Hao couldn’t care less; these people unrelated to him, whether they liked him or not, couldn’t get in his way.

He just continued to bury himself in hard cultivation.

Nineteen years later, Shi Hao reached the peak of the Three Stars Immortal King and spent another two months in comprehension before breaking through to Four Stars.

Four Stars Immortal King.

Shi Hao stopped.

It’s not that he wanted to rest or take a breather, but that he ran out of cultivation resources.

This was too terrifying.

Previously, Shi Hao had traversed almost three thousand Immortal Domains, gathering countless resources.

No Summit of the Stars would exhaust all their resources to support Shi Hao, yet they indeed suffered greatly, hemorrhaging considerably. Even if Shi Hao toured again, emptying all the Summits of the Stars, he wouldn’t gain much more than before.

For someone else, as long as their comprehension kept up, it would be enough to break into the Nine Stars Immortal King, or even higher, right?

However, Shi Hao only managed to advance two stars!

No way around it, he was like a world; to improve his realm, he had to elevate the level of his Little Star Universe, and the energy needed for that was immense, wasn’t it?

Shi Hao grinned, baring his teeth. His goal was not merely the Nine Stars Immortal King but to break the extreme and condense the Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth!

So, wouldn’t that require terrifying amounts of energy?

So massive that it’s utterly hair-raising.

And yet, Shi Hao couldn’t help but pursue it.

Why?

Because Old Ding could only protect him until he became a Quasi-Immortal Venerable.

Once he achieved Quasi-Immortal Venerable, it could very well be his time of death, with Immortal Venerables potentially making a move to suppress him.

How to break this predicament?

That means having the power of an Immortal Venerable directly when he steps into Quasi-Immortal Venerable.

In that way, he could protect himself.

So, of course, Shi Hao would not break through at the stage of Nine Stars Immortal King but continue to push towards the limit until he could no longer advance.

"So, do I still need to enter the Forbidden Land?" Shi Hao touched his chin. He had lived for only a few hundred years, but more than half that time was spent in the Forbidden Land, to the point where he felt he was born and raised there.

He couldn’t simply plunder resources from all Immortal Kings, so if he wanted a large amount of resources, especially the finest ones, he had to enter the Forbidden Land.

—It couldn’t just be the peripheral area where Immortal King-level Great Medicines were scarce; he had to delve deeper.

The Forbidden Land was vast, and although Shi Hao had entered several times, he had explored only a tiny portion.

Before that, he had to kill two people.

Immortal King Hengshan and Immortal King Sanmu.

In that way, he would have no enemies left at the Immortal King level, leaving only Nine Flames, Flying Star and Bei Miao families, but they are Immortal Venerable forces, which could be dealt with later. Once he possesses Immortal Venerable combat power, he could easily deal with them.

First, set a small goal, then work towards the larger goal step by step.

Shi Hao set off for the Sanmu Immortal Domain.

A few days later, he arrived.

The speed of an Immortal King was too fast, making the Domain Wall no barrier at all.

"Little Stone, how about putting on an impressive act this time?" The Purple Gold Rat suggested eagerly. "Now you are already the strongest Immortal King. If you don’t put on a grand show, it would be like dressing in fine attire only to walk in the night—simply too boring."

Shi Hao rolled his eyes: "I’m here to settle old grudges, and afterwards, I have to enter the Forbidden Land. Where would I find the time to waste?"

"The Forbidden Land is right there; it’s not going anywhere!" the Purple Gold Rat chuckled. "But your enemies are getting fewer and fewer. Look around; aside from the forces of the Immortal Venerables, who else would dare provoke you?"

Indeed, the entire Immortal Realm knew of Shi Hao’s power, and while they may not flatter him, at least none would dare offend him.

"Then tell me, how should I put on a show?" Shi Hao also laughed.

"Eh, I’m just the audience. As for how to put on a show, that’s up to you," the Purple Gold Rat shrugged its little paws.

Shi Hao shook his head: "Forget it, let’s just get straight to it."

He leapt into the air, whoosh whoosh whoosh, and with just a few instantaneous movements, he reached the Summit of the Stars.

Boom!

The aura of an Immortal King exploded, and Shi Hao made it unmistakably clear to Immortal King Sanmu that he had arrived.

—Back then, Immortal King Sanmu also came arrogantly to the Xuan Bing Immortal Realm, seeing no one in his eyes.

I am the Seven Stars Immortal King, I can suppress everything!

Now, Shi Hao returned the favor entirely.

Instantly, the entire Summit of the Stars was in an uproar, whoosh whoosh whoosh, figures darted out and barred Shi Hao’s path, each wielding weapons, ready to die without hesitation.

No matter if he was an Immortal King, they feared not!

As people of the Summit of the Stars, they would fight for their dignity!

Shi Hao stood with his hands behind his back; with just a thought, he could kill everyone here, but he was not a bloodthirsty person and was unwilling to start a massacre.

Of course, if these people dared to attack him, he would turn into Asura, and act mercilessly.

"Stand down!" A voice full of authority rang out.

Immortal King Sanmu!

"My lord!" The crowd shouted, unwilling to stand down.

"Let us fight!"

"We are not afraid to die!"

"For the dignity of the Sanmu Lineage, we will fight to the death!"

The crowd was inflamed, each filled with fervor.

Immortal King Sanmu appeared and waved his hand: "No need to throw your lives away!"

He looked at Shi Hao: "Truly unexpected, once a mere Silver Spirit Immortal, and not long has passed, yet you’ve become an Immortal King, possessing the capability to threaten me!"
