Asura Emperor Venerable

Qu Qien knew Shi Hao was very strong, but was he weak?

The heir of the Jade Immortal, even if he wasn't a direct descendant like Mao Yuhao, but merely one of the disciples of the Jade Immortal, being accepted as a disciple of the Jade Immortal naturally meant he was an extraordinary genius.

Swish, a sword struck, unleashing endless flames, transforming into something akin to purgatory.

This was the Summit of the Stars, a place with special suppressions, rendering any rules unusable. However, Immortal Gold is formed by absorbing Immortal rules, and even if there are no rules here to supplement, it can still be used for a very long time.

In Qu Qien's mind, Shi Hao couldn't get the rule supplements, and could only forcibly compress and refine the Immortal Rule within him. Once used up, only pure strength would remain, so what was there to fear?

Therefore, his strategy was to first exhaust, engaging in a prolonged battle.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, and Myriad Thunder True Gold also transformed into a sword, heading towards Qu Qien.

Swish, one sword strike, thunderously powerful.

Immortal King Gold, even if only a trace of its power could be unleashed, its might remained incomparably strong.

The thunder rolled by, and the flames were completely extinguished.

What!

Qu Qien was utterly taken aback, both wielding Immortal Artifacts in their duel, why was his Immortal Artifact far inferior to Shi Hao's?

Furthermore, how did Shi Hao also have an Immortal Artifact?

How could this be, just a mere small figure from the Mortal Realm!

However, he had no time to think further, for endless thunder was already upon him.

He swung his Immortal Artifact, blocking to the left and the right, ultimately fending off all the thunder in the sky.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "How about that?"

Qu Qien's face darkened, unable to retort.

His strategy needed adjustment, originally intending to exhaust Shi Hao's internal Immortal Rule and then secure an easy victory, but now that Shi Hao also had an Immortal Artifact, it was naturally impossible to use the same tactic.

"What kind of Immortal Artifact is that?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Take a guess," Shi Hao laughed.

With his strength, he could completely crush Qu Qien, however, this was the arena, who knew if deadly force could be used, so he didn't want to expose his secret of possessing Immortal King Gold.

How could Qu Qien possibly guess it? He merely stared at the blue Immortal Sword in Shi Hao's hand, his eyes flickering with confusion.

"Can't guess? Then die!" Shi Hao charged with his sword.

Clang clang clang, Qu Qien hastily blocked, yet with each sword strike he blocked, he was sent flying once, completely overpowered.

After blocking more than ten sword strikes, Qu Qien was already vomiting blood.

He was already at the Nine Stars level, with his entire body refined like Bronze Immortal Gold, but what did it matter, Shi Hao's strength was too overwhelming, still shaking him to the point of vomiting blood.

After completing the Five Stars, a Copper Armored Immortal had already refined his blood to the Immortal Gold level, thus the blood he vomited was also bronze-colored, shimmering with a metallic luster.

"Incapable of a single blow!" Shi Hao said disdainfully.

Qu Qien was furious, yet unable to retort.

He was Nine Stars, while Shi Hao was only Four Stars, he had a full five-star advantage, yet was still completely suppressed by Shi Hao, what more could he say?

But he was an heir of the Jade Immortal, a genius among geniuses, so it wasn't that he was weak, but that Shi Hao was too strong!

Why would such a prodigy appear in the world, and even encounter him?

Another few rounds of battle, and Qu Qien was coughing up blood in torrents, if the fight continued, just the blood loss would cause severe vitality damage, with no possibility of further cultivation advancement.

Bam!

Shi Hao kicked again, sending Qu Qien flying once more, swoosh, Shi Hao caught up, one sword strike aimed at the opponent's neck.

Buzz, a corner of the arena glowed, but immediately dimmed again.

Poof!

Immediately, Qu Qien's head flew skyward, under the slash of the Immortal King Artifact, even his body refined to resemble Bronze Immortal Gold couldn't withstand it.

Shi Hao glanced at that corner of the arena, a realization dawning in his mind.

Logically, this arena should only decide victory or defeat without resulting in fatalities, but now that the arena had been damaged, its attempt to stop his strike had failed.

Shi Hao smiled, this was all the better, allowing him to eliminate an enemy.

Buzz, Qu Qien's corpse disappeared, and another figure appeared.

This time it was a complete stranger, with obvious signs of recent battle.

"Shi Hao?" that person actually recognized him, first calling out, then showing a fierce fighting spirit, "Being praised by the Jade Immortal, your combat power should be very strong, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Bring it on!"

That person immediately charged over, striking towards Shi Hao with a palm.

Boom, power surged, rules transformed into billions of butterflies, dancing gracefully, seemingly beautiful, yet completely engulfing Shi Hao's vision, even causing domain chaos.

However, Shi Hao was a person possessing the Little Star Universe, what effect could this have on him?

Bam!

Shi Hao punched, hitting the person's palm accurately.

With one strike, that person was instantly sent flying.

Shi Hao shook his head, this guy talked big, making him think the person was strong, yet turned out to be all show and no substance.

Boring!

That person soon came charging back, but after a few more strikes from Shi Hao, they were left lying motionless on the ground.

A corner of the arena glowed again but soon dimmed once more.

However, Shi Hao didn't strike again, this person bore him no grudge, and merely wished to exchange a few blows just now, so there was absolutely no need for him to go all out.

Soon, amidst a flash of light and shadow, a third person appeared, while the second suddenly disappeared.

The third opponent was still unrecognized, but their combat power was clearly stronger by a notch, and this person's background seemed not weak, even possessing a Talismanic Soldier.

When he threw out the Talismanic Soldier, the arena again had a glow, yet soon there was no follow-up.

Clearly, initial combat was supposed to restrict using Talismanic Soldiers, but now... the restrictions had obviously malfunctioned.

Luckily, this was only a Silver Spirit Immortal level Talismanic Soldier, Shi Hao kept dodging, and after consuming the opponent's Talismanic Soldier, he rushed up to deliver nonstop attacks, easily securing another win.

He continued winning, and his next opponents grew increasingly stronger, until after ten consecutive victories, no further opponent appeared.

Shi Hao was full of anticipation, surely there would be a reward for him?

There actually was.

He only felt his body flash, already appearing in another place, soaking in liquid.

Oh, was the reward a bath?

Shi Hao immediately discovered this liquid was filled with extremely pure energy and rules, greatly beneficial for tempering his body.

— The cultivation of a Copper Armored Immortal involves understanding rules and refining one's body with them.

So, by absorbing the energy in the liquid, Shi Hao could quickly complete a step of tempering, which would naturally greatly assist in improving his cultivation.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, by absorbing the liquid with his body, even in one or two months he couldn't fully absorb the essence of this pool, but he was different.

He had the Stone Mill!
