Asura Emperor Venerable

Shi Hao did not return to the Imperial City.

When Woo Yueyi was around, naturally no one dared to attack him, but once she left, all sorts of troublemakers would emerge.

Why couldn't he stay in one place for long?

Shi Hao reflected that no matter where he went, he seemed to offend the local most powerful forces. Although he never suffered losses, he always had to leave in the end.

"Alas, is this considered a one-day tour?" Shi Hao sighed.

He strolled leisurely, planning to leave Mirror Lake Country and find another place to settle.

With such a vast region, surely there would be a place for him to reside?

He and Weng Nanqing left the Imperial Capital, traveling swiftly via teleportation arrays.

However, as they stepped out from the teleportation array and hadn't gone far, both suddenly felt the ground shaking violently beneath them.

Shi Hao immediately lifted up and grabbed Weng Nanqing.

"What about me?" Purple Gold Rat shouted, quickly scrambling to save himself and jumped onto Shi Hao's shoulder. "Alas, having a wife means getting rid of your friend, Little Stone, you're so disloyal!"

Shi Hao ignored him and saw dust rising below, then the entire ground began subsidence.

Earthquake?

No, how could an earthquake cause such subsidence?

Shi Hao gazed around, the subsidence's range was so vast that his ocular power couldn't see the end!

What kind of earthquake had such terrifying power?

It seemed as though the underground had already been hollowed out, and now it had reached its limit, causing massive subsidence.

"Let's take a look!"

Shi Hao flew down and pursued the subsiding ground.

His speed was of course faster than the subsidence, but he didn't land on the ground, instead he rose a certain distance.

Above the earth, there was a chorus of lament.

Once the ground settled heavily, under the terrible impact, how many more lives would remain?

Immortals surely would be fine, but for mortal-level martial artists, survival would depend on luck, and whether Heaven Building Ladder existed was uncertain.

Shi Hao was powerless, being just one person, in the face of such disaster, how many could he save?

The best he could do was save one more life.

Shi Hao and Weng Nanqing acted, saving nearby mortals by grabbing them with threads of rules.

Weng Nanqing soon reached her limit, while Shi Hao still had more energy, so he moved swiftly, using rules to form threads that tied individuals and lifted them into the air.

Boom!

At last, the earth settled, causing massive impact.

A terrifying scene unfolded, the impact triggered volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, and even in the very stable Immortal Stone Mine, explosions occurred, causing a chain reaction.

It was as if it was the end of the world, explosions were everywhere, terrifying energy was boiling, and below Immortal, no one could withstand it.

A long while after, the massive explosion finally slowly calmed down, but the whole earth had become devastated beyond description.

Shi Hao slowly descended, still holding numerous threads of rules, having saved at least ten thousand people, but compared to the damage caused by this disaster, ten thousand was negligible.

He retracted the threads of rules, and how these people would survive afterwards depended on themselves.

What exactly happened?

Shi Hao decided to fly to the edge of the subsidence for a closer look, taking along Weng Nanqing and hurriedly making his way.

Along the way, he saw many Immortals rising to the sky, they too were using threads of rules to carry people, trying to leave this place, while some Immortals shared Shi Hao's thought, wanting to go to the subsidence's edge to see what happened.

The more the Immortals flew, the more shocked they were, for the subsidence area was incredibly large.

They saw cities already turned to ruins, corpses everywhere, under the terrifying impact all semblance of humanity was gone, while a few survivors stood dazed amidst the ruins.

Too tragic.

The Immortals weren't only Copper Armored Immortals, there were also Silver Spirit Immortals, so when Shi Hao arrived at the subsidence's edge, there were already many Silver Spirit Immortals.

Shi Hao halted and started looking around.

Was there such a large hollow area beneath the earth?

Shi Hao flew up, quickly discovering the top of the hollow layer, here it was about three hundred miles from the uppermost surface, thus mining couldn't reach such depth.

Could such a large pit be formed naturally?

Shi Hao circled the edge, spending ten days, finally completing one round. He could confirm the hollow area was as large as a Golden Immortal's power domain.

This was within Mirror Lake Country's domain, such a significant event occurred here that Mirror Lake Country couldn't stay idle, sending a Golden Immortal representative to investigate the truth of the matter.

Shi Hao saw the Golden Immortal passing by, he was not alone, accompanied by many followers including some princes and princesses.

—If one performed well here, they could greatly win favor with Jia Baiji, getting closer to the throne.

Shi Hao did not intend to greet them, thinking it would be better to head toward the central area of the subsidence.

Having circled the area once, he already had a general understanding of the place, wouldn't make a wrong turn.

After traveling for a long time, he suddenly saw a black peak soaring into the sky.

This definitely wasn't originally there.

Underground peaks, piercing the earth directly upon subsidence.

Yet, was this peak so resilient that it didn't rupture?

Shi Hao moved forward for quite a while, now he saw clearly, this wasn't a peak, but a black spire.

What!

Shi Hao looked at Purple Gold Rat, "Rat, have you seen this thing before?"

Purple Gold Rat shook his head too, "I haven't seen it before, but it gives me an ominous feeling."

The black tower wall seemed crafted from some metal, emitting a metallic chill, but from such a distance that any details were impossible to discern.

Shi Hao continued forward, slowly the spire grew larger in his view.

He called it a spire, but in fact, it occupied an enormous area, looking pointed because of its height.

The tower wall had many dark red stains, who knows if it's rust or something else.

When Shi Hao finally arrived under the black spire, its diameter was at least a hundred miles, towering high, under the current conditions the top was shrouded in smoke and dust, completely invisible.

He wasn't the first to find the tower, as Mirror Lake Country's Golden Immortal had arrived, along with Prince Jia Kangshi, fortunately Shi Hao had disguised himself beforehand, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Shi Hao looked at the black spire, entirely without doors or windows, up and down it was the same.

What on earth is this?
