Chapter 1153: Crushing Defeat
Kill!
Shi Hao swung the blade, slashing towards Meng Yuanqi.
Damn, I'm using a blade, and you're also using a blade?
Meng Yuanqi showed a trace of anger, believing Shi Hao did it on purpose, provoking him.
"Die!" He also swung his blade and charged at Shi Hao.
The two blades collided, immediately igniting an energy frenzy. In the midst of a great explosion, Shi Hao and Meng Yuanqi were both blown out of the energy frenzy.
It seems that in this exchange, they were evenly matched once again.
With the support of the Immortal Artifact, Shi Hao's combat power naturally increased significantly, once again standing on the same level as Meng Yuanqi.
However, Meng Yuanqi stared in shock at the Immortal Artifact in his hand.
A small chip appeared on the blade.
Even though the chip was only the size of a grain of rice, it conveyed an astonishing fact.
——The blade in Shi Hao's hand is definitely not of Bronze Immortal Gold level.
Meng Yuanqi gripped the hilt tightly, revealing an expression of unwillingness.
Although he was a disciple of cultivation from the Tianhao Sect, he still had to advance to Silver Spirit Immortal before he could apply to the sect to be granted a Silver Spirit-grade Immortal Artifact upon approval.
No way, for a Jade Immortal force, Bronze-grade Immortal Artifacts could be given out freely, but not Silver Spirit-grade ones. They were too rare, even disciples couldn't possess them before reaching the required cultivation level.
What if it got robbed?
However, the Immortal Artifact in Shi Hao's hand was of Silver Spirit-grade. Even though it couldn't exert its full power in the hands of a Copper Armored Immortal, it still had the upper hand in a clash with a Bronze Immortal Artifact.
Hua Feiyan was also slightly surprised, not expecting that Shi Hao actually wielded a Silver Spirit-grade Immortal Artifact.
This would make things difficult for Meng Yuanqi.
Shi Hao laughed heartily, swinging the blade to slash, and this time, he unleashed the true power of the Immortal Artifact. A field of blue lightning swept towards Meng Yuanqi.
It was terrifying; each bolt of lightning carried the power of Seventeen Stars, capable of instantly killing a regular Nine Stars Copper Armored Immortal.
Meng Yuanqi had no choice but to swing his blade in defense, not daring to take it head-on with his flesh. He even used the power of his physique to influence the lightning, reducing the pressure.
However, after blocking hundreds of strikes, Meng Yuanqi depressingly discovered that the Immortal Artifact in his hand was completely broken.
——Too many chips, damaging the patterns and symbols. Now, it could only be considered a weapon made of Immortal Gold, no longer able to be called an Immortal Artifact.
Originally, the Immortal Artifact could augment his combat power by two stars, but now that boost was gone. Meng Yuanqi's combat power naturally plummeted, and with one slash from Shi Hao, he was sent flying, completely not a match.
"Puff!" Meng Yuanqi spat out bronze-colored metallic blood. Under the two-star combat power crush, even taking a single hit made his organs tremble, causing him to spit out blood painfully.
A two-star combat power crush, the gap was too large.
He glanced unwillingly at Shi Hao once, then decisively turned and left.
He lost unjustly, not due to inferior skill, but because his Immortal Artifact couldn't compare to the other's.
No problem, he would immediately break through to Silver Spirit Immortal and make a comeback. Even if Shi Hao wielded an Immortal Artifact, so what? Under the suppression of a major realm, he would definitely win.
Whoosh, he even used Instant Teleportation Talisman, disappearing in a flash.
He was indeed decisive.
Shi Hao did not pursue. The other party had already resorted to the Instant Teleportation Talisman; with such a significant cost, it was naturally impossible to catch up.
It's a pity for such a top-level disciple, he surely carried lots of treasures.
Seeing Shi Hao show a look of regret, Hua Feiyan couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Do you intend to kill him?"
That was Tianhao Sect's Heaven's Proud Son, destined to become a Jade Immortal in the future. If he died at Shi Hao's hands, the entire Tianhao Sect would go berserk and dig three feet into the ground to find Shi Hao and kill him.
Shi Hao spread his hands: "Lucky for him he ran fast."
The implication being, if Meng Yuanqi had stayed to fight to the death, Shi Hao would definitely not have shown mercy.
Hua Feiyan was speechless. She always thought Shi Hao was the Immortal King's heir, so being so arrogant made sense.
——Even if Tianhao Sect faced death without fear, confronting the Summit of the Stars, it would still be like an egg hitting a rock.
She looked at Shi Hao and asked again, "Who are you?"
"Me?" Shi Hao smiled, first putting away the Myriad Thunder True Gold, "I am Asura, the greatest genius of all ages!"
Hua Feiyan felt the urge to roll her eyes. She admitted Shi Hao was a genius, but the greatest of all ages?
Have you not considered the Immortal Kings on the Summit of the Stars, let alone the more unfathomable Immortal Venerables?
You are indeed a genius, but far too arrogant.
Hua Feiyan slightly shook her head, her liking for Shi Hao disappearing entirely.
A person who doesn't even recognize who he is, what is there to pay attention to?
One day, he will hit a dead end, and he might even lose his life.
The heir of the Immortal King is not a death exemption card!
"Hmph!" She flicked her sleeves and drifted away.
This woman truly is strange. He hadn't even expressed any intention of pursuing her, so why give him such attitude?
Forget it, not worth bothering with.
Shi Hao also left. He was going to continue his quest for the Fire Element.
However, a month had passed, and the Fire Elements had nearly been hunted down. Shi Hao searched for several days without finding a large gathering of Fire Elements, only a few scattered ones.
Fortunately, he had reached the peak of Six Stars, now needing a period of consolidation to break through to Seven Stars. So he remained composed, not in a hurry at all.
When will his combat power reach the Silver Spirit Immortal level?
If he reached Silver Spirit Immortal, he would qualify to enter the second-tier area, and even if the killing was slower, he could harvest Silver Spirit-grade Elemental Cores, which would surely enhance his refinement.
A few days later, Shi Hao felt his condition was ready.
Alright, time to break through to Seven Stars.
The leap from Six Stars to Seven Stars is a qualitative one; it is said that Seven Stars is a hurdle, and crossing it will lead to an amazing increase in combat power.
As such, this step is also much more arduous, requiring the mastery of numerous Immortal Rules to break the realm's barrier.
For Shi Hao, it was only slightly more challenging, taking half a day, but he successfully advanced to Seven Stars.
Now, he could refine his internal organs.
Completing the refinement of one organ equates to finishing the physical refinement of one star, so regular Copper Armored Immortals reaching Nine Stars could only complete the refinement of three organs. Only top-tier geniuses could capture more rules to refine more organs.
However, being able to completely refine all organs was something even geniuses like Meng Yuanqi and Hua Feiyan couldn't achieve, as the human body contained far too many organs.
Nonetheless, top-tier geniuses would try to refine as many organs as possible, as a strong physique naturally also enhances combat power.
Which organ should be refined first?
Shi Hao only thought for a moment before deciding to refine the heart first.
Only with a stronger heart could he pump more blood at once, enhancing his explosive power.
