Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 917: Array Activation

A few days have passed, and more and more people have arrived, gradually approaching the milestone of ten thousand.

Given the vastness of the Universe, there truly are countless talents, and five more Saint-level geniuses have arrived.

It’s quite astonishing; under two hundred years of age, there are as many as eight Saintly Position experts!

It’s worth noting that this is only one-eighth of the region, and based on average distribution, there should be over sixty Saintly Position practitioners entering the Ascending Dragon Platform.

To be able to step into the Saintly Position at such a young age is promising for the future Heaven Building Ladder.

In one era, more than sixty Heaven Building Ladder practitioners can emerge, coupled with their exceptionally long lifespan, it’s no wonder the number of Heaven Building Ladder experts in the entire Universe is counted in the tens of thousands.

However, those who can achieve the Absolute Summit are scarce.

Currently, only Di Xuesong and Pang Lang have that potential; they’re both under a hundred years old, and based on past experience, those who achieve the Saintly Position before a hundred have a very high chance of reaching the Absolute Summit.

These eight Saintly Position experts continually converse, occasionally casting glances towards Shi Hao.

"Brother Di, to fight the oxen for a fool, it’s not worth the cost." Pang Lang shook his head, refusing Di Xuesong’s proposal to team up.

He has no grudges with Shi Hao, and Di Xuesong’s offers weren’t tempting enough for him.

When it comes to martial arts potential, he is in no way inferior to Di Xuesong; thus, Di Xuesong’s favors aren’t particularly valuable to him.

Di Xuesong does possess treasures that could tempt Pang Lang, but solely for the purpose of killing Shi Hao, he was unwilling to concede.

Primarily, Shi Hao couldn’t possibly remain with the oxen forever; once he’s alone, wouldn’t it be easy to kill a Great Sacrificial Heaven who only focuses on body refinement?

So, he said no more.

Time quietly passed, and finally, the number of people here reached the scale of ten thousand.

Buzz, the Stone Gate radiated brilliant light.

"Go!" Everyone rushed towards the Stone Gate.

Out of ten thousand people, only one hundred can come out, so naturally, everyone is eager.

Though ultimately only eight Hidden Dragons can stand out, passing each stage offers great benefits; otherwise, why would those who knowingly aren’t strong join in on the excitement?

While others feast, at least one can drink some soup.

Shi Hao also urged the Ox King forward.

"Moo." The Ox King turned back and roared, indicating, "Little ones, follow your leader."

Carrying Shi Hao, it entered the Stone Gate first, instantly disappearing, but when the herd followed, their forms didn’t disappear and simply walked through the gate, as though it was an ordinary gate with no teleportation function.

Seeing this, those behind understood; the Ox King disappeared because it was carrying Shi Hao.

——Clearly, indigenous creatures here cannot participate in the competition, but they can appear through the intervention of outsiders.

Yet, despite knowing this, no one considered riding the oxen to enter.

A thousand Great Sacrificial Heaven-level ferocious beasts—who would dare?

Alright.

Everyone sighed and walked through the Stone Gate one by one.

Soon, everyone had entered the Stone Gate, leaving behind only a group of rhinos, each sizing up one another in confusion.

Where’s the King?

The King is gone, so where should we go?

But after a short while, several bulls started to bellow.

A country cannot go a day without a king, and a family can’t pass a day without a master—they can’t go a day without a king either.

Whoever is the strongest shall become the new king!

Instantly, the few bulls began fighting each other.

...

On the other side of the Stone Gate, the Ox King watched eagerly.

Where’s my cow, oh no, where’s my herd?

The people coming in increased, yet not a single cow appeared.

Shi Hao patted the Ox King’s head; it’s evident that the indigenous beings here cannot cross the Stone Gate to the other side, and the Ox King could only cross because of Shi Hao.

The Ox King wasn’t foolish and quickly realized this point, immediately flashing a flattering smile at Shi Hao.

Master, let me go back; if I don’t return, my cows will be ridden.

Shi Hao was indifferent, leaping off its back.

The Ox King ran back hurriedly, but as there was no teleportation gate here, where could it go?

Left without a choice, it lowered its head and returned dejectedly.

It decided to follow Shi Hao; maybe there’s a possibility to find a way out.

Shi Hao smiled and took his seat back on the Ox King’s back.

This place is quite strange.

Though devoid of any mist, one couldn’t see far.

Shi Hao raised a brow; is this also the effect of the rules?

If he were in his Little Star Universe, he could decide how far people could see, all within his control.

At this moment, people had already scattered, with only a few beside Shi Hao, those still harboring hopes regarding Weng Nanqing, wanting to accompany Shi Hao out and claim merit before her.

Naturally, they had also witnessed the Ox King’s power, realizing that following Shi Hao would indeed be safer.

The Ox King moved, yet it didn’t recognize the path and wandered aimlessly.

They traversed this mountainous terrain but quickly walked out, crossed through lakes, traversed big rivers, and ahead lay another mountain range. After walking a bit further, they found more lakes and the big river blocking their path once again.

By this point, even the slowest realized they had been going in circles.

However, this labyrinth is massive, and completing a cycle takes several days.

How to unravel such a vast maze?

Shi Hao remained silent, merely expanding his Little Star Universe, letting the Ox King continue its journey.

Things changed under the Little Star Universe’s coverage; Shi Hao dictated the rules, and the Ox King no longer unknowingly circled. A day later, a sea appeared ahead.

Have they already exited?

No one knew, but the newly emerged sea suggested they had certainly broken the cycle.

Crossing the sea.

A Great Sacrificial Heaven can fly, so crossing the sea ought to be easy, but when someone flew above the sea, a golden light manifested, transforming into a fish that lunged at them.

The person hurriedly defended, but after a few moves, the fish flung its tail, directly sweeping them into the sea.

"Ah——" they screamed, desperately swimming back, their clothing corroding instantly, flesh falling off in chunks.

When they returned to the shore, a third of their entire being was missing, a miserably blurred figure.

Tsk!

Everyone gasped sharply; traversing by water meant enduring the corrosive power of the sea, while traversing by sky demanded overcoming the golden fish.

Both seemed formidable, didn’t they?

The Ox King glanced at its lower half, quickly shaking its head.

No way, it wouldn’t go into the water no matter what.
