Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 246 - A Battle of Equals

Chapter 246: Chapter 246 A Battle of Equals

Chapter 246 -246 A Battle of Equals

In the Martial Arts Realm, hierarchy was strictly observed.

Self-Observation stood at the very front row, behind were the warriors from Other Shore Realm, followed by those from Soul Nurturing, and as for Breaking the Extreme, it was generally accompanied by sect leaders or family elders; otherwise, one wouldn’t likely venture alone into such a perilous place.

“Heng Mei, go up to the stage and take a look.”

“Luo Er, you go up too.”

“…”

The powerful from Self-Observation instructed, and then one saw several young people, each bracing themselves and leaping onto the platform.

One by one, with a thunderous roar, each time someone stepped onto the stage, war drums would sound, as if to inspire them to fight, but beyond that, it was the same situation as Shi Hao.

They couldn’t get out.

However, when the thirty-second platform was filled, and new people jumped up, it was again possible to enter.

The two on the platform exchanged awkward glances.

Yet, when others tried to leap onto that platform, they found they were unable to do so again.

It was easy to surmise that the platforms were probably meant for combat, allowing only two people inside to ensure fairness in the duel.

However, among the presence of Self-Observation warriors, what was the meaning of such “fair” combat?

Boom, the crowd discovered that around the platform where the two stood, a wave of fire appeared, closing in towards the center.

What’s happening?

Was this to force them to fight?

Otherwise, why was it only their platform that was like this?

The wave of fire was incredibly terrifying.

The two on the platform exchanged glances and rapidly launched attacks at each other.

They fought, but the wave of fire did not disperse, still contracting towards the center.

Was this to annihilate them both, or to make them quickly determine a winner?

Some Self-Observation warriors stepped forward, trying to forcibly shatter the platform, but despite their powerful blows, the platform remained unmoved, as if it were being struck by a mere mortal.

Hiss!

Everyone understood then that the person who had arranged all this was definitely far superior to Self-Observation.

So now, everyone could only follow the rules.

For the moment, no one dared to act rashly, just watching the battle between the two.

The fire wave tightened more and more, and the two fought more frantically, quickly determining a victor, bang, one was knocked flying off the platform.

Eh?

At that moment, the wave of fire instantly disappeared.

Everyone came to understood, the platforms were indeed meant for combat, and moreover, pressured by the wave of fire to end the fight quickly, but what was the advantage of winning?

And, there were a total of thirty-two platforms.

“Anyway, first occupy a platform, it must be useful.”

“Hmm.”

The warriors from Self-Observation all commanded their juniors to go up and secure a spot.

They themselves, of course, considered their status too important to act rashly.

For a while, the scene was lively.

Shi Hao also faced his own opponent, swoosh, a man jumped up wielding a broadaxe radiating a fierce aura.

“Pretty boy, just let me chop you down!” the man laughed loudly, swinging his axe towards Shi Hao.

Eh?

The man was immediately taken aback as he attacked, for he had clearly intended to strike with eight steps’ power, so why could he now only unleash the force of seven steps?

Although it was only a reduction of one minor realm and not hugely impactful, it was still very strange.

Bang!

But before he could complete his thought, he was already blasted by a fist on the axe, and both he and his axe were knocked off the platform together.

In a battle among equals, who could be Shi Hao’s opponent?

Shi Hao’s gaze swept across, every high platform experienced intense combat, as everyone’s realm had been forcibly equalized.

With a grin, he thought, even if a powerhouse from Self-Observation came, he had nothing to fear.

The ax-wielding man, not willing to give up, leaped up once again but was repelled by a wall of air and shockingly knocked back.

Clearly, after one failure, he lost the chance to challenge again.

This sent a chill through the crowd.

They believed such competition was not a waste of time, but rather an intentional arrangement by the person who set this up, perhaps… it was a test to select a Successor, and the victor could inherit everything.

Knowing that even Self-Observation was helpless before this high platform, one could see how imposing the one who made the arrangements was.

What an opportunity it would be to inherit his mantle!

Everyone was rubbing their hands and even the powerhouses from Self-Observation were eager to try, in front of such inheritance, even Direct Disciples were untrustworthy.

Battle after battle progressed, and more and more people lost their chance to challenge.

The ones on the platform beamed with joy, while those who failed the challenge were crestfallen.

But there were only thirty-two spots.

“Get off there!” shouted an Other Shore expert as he leaped onto Shi Hao’s platform. Not only was he of the Other Shore, but he also mastered the Six Island’s cultivation, naturally looking down on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t respond and merely threw a punch.

The battle was over.

The Other Shore expert met the attack but was no match at all. With a thump, he was knocked off the high platform and even before the fire waves began to recede.

—In an equal realm battle, Shi Hao was absolutely invincible.

This battle further confirmed to Shi Hao that the suppression of realm on the high platforms also affected those from the Other Shore Realm.

Therefore, those from Self-Observation must be the same.

Whoosh, another figure leaped up, still an Other Shore expert.

He appeared to be in his fifties and had the dignity of a superior. He said on arrival, “Young man, step down willingly, or once you leave here, killing you will be as easy as flipping my hand!”

This was the truth—wasn’t killing a Soul Nurturer as easy as lifting a hand?

He was smarter than the previous one, knowing that in a same-realm battle post suppression, he couldn’t be Shi Hao’s opponent, hence, he resorted to threats.

Shi Hao responded with a smile, “I am from Zhenwu Sect, do you dare to kill me?”

Uh!

The Other Shore expert hesitated. If there were no witnesses, he wouldn’t care about Zhenwu Sect, let alone Purple Star Sect, he would have killed him.

But now under everyone’s gaze, if he dared to harm a True Disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, surely a relic from Self-Observation would seek revenge.

—In his eyes, Shi Hao was so extraordinary, he must be a disciple of a Self-Observation powerhouse.

“You should step down too!” Shi Hao dashed forward with a quick step and threw a punch, boom, the Other Shore expert instantly flew off.

This made the crowd below frown.

The power displayed in this equal realm battle was astonishing.

Who could compare?

“Could he be Zhenwu Sect’s disciple Hong Taihe?”

“No, Hong Taihe isn’t so young, he must be around twenty-four or twenty-five.”

“Moreover, he has always been secluded in his studies of Zhenwu Sect’s supreme technique, ‘True Martial Cold Sky Technique’, and wouldn’t appear until he has mastered it.”

“Then… Ling Chen from Heavenly Sound City?”

“Yao Yunhai from Hanbian City?”

The crowd buzzed with discussion, such outstanding battle capability across levels was truly alarming, only a few could match it.

“Zhenwu Sect’s Lu Yun!”

“Right, Lu Yun, he just said he’s from Zhenwu Sect.”

In the crowd, Lu Yun’s face suddenly turned unsightly.
