Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1486: Utterly Defenseless

Such a slap in the face.

Master Qian Ji took out the Jade Immortal Artifact, and what was the result? Shi Hao had one too! Not only did he have one, but it also seemed to be of even higher quality!

Compared to Master Qian Ji’s high-profile display with the Jade Immortal Artifact, Shi Hao remained incredibly low-key, saying nothing and just demonstrating his combat power.

And the result?

A crushing defeat!

From the start until now, the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion was totally defeated, overwhelmed in every aspect by Shi Hao.

Master Qian Ji looked at Shi Hao in shock, unable to accept it.

Why! Why! Why!

You’ve only just stepped into the Jade Immortal stage; how could you possess such astonishing divine weapons?

He suddenly realized that it was indeed this blade that had killed his Incarnation. Thus, this was no ordinary Jade Immortal Artifact, at the very least, it was of a high tier, perhaps even... an Immortal King Artifact!

Damn it, damn it!

If he also had an Immortal King Artifact, he wouldn’t need to refine some Five Elements Primordial Sphere to comprehend it.

As for Shi Hao, he possessed it easily.

He was mad with jealousy!

No, it’s his!

Master Qian Ji stared at the Immortal King Artifact in Shi Hao’s hand. What if Shi Hao was the son of an Immortal King? He planned to snatch this treasure and then hide for tens of thousands of years. With his current state and with the help of the Immortal King Artifact for comprehension, he would surely become an Immortal King. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Then, once he became an Immortal King, would he need to fear other Immortal Kings?

If he couldn’t win, he could at least run.

In an instant, his fighting spirit soared.

Shi Hao clearly saw the changes in his expression and shook his head, saying, "You’re imagining too much."

"Give it to me!" Master Qian Ji shouted and lunged at Shi Hao.

Combat, power, unleashed!

Die.

Boom!

Shi Hao punched out, and Master Qian Ji immediately became a rolling gourd, tumbling around on the ground for a dozen circles before stopping.

What!

Everyone was once again dumbfounded, unable to accept it.

Earlier, Shi Hao’s displayed strength was about the same as Master Qian Ji’s, and even if he had a slight edge, it was by relying on his higher quality Immortal Artifact. But this strike?

Domination!

How could it be? How could it be!

"No, impossible!" Master Qian Ji was also unable to accept it, his face filled with a lost expression.

He knew Shi Hao’s origin very well—born in the Mortal Realm, grew up in the Mortal Realm. So why was this guy so abnormal, how could he cultivate so quickly, how could his combat power be so strong?

Coming from the Mortal Realm meant he had no background, otherwise, he also came from the Mortal Realm, possessing a devouring constitution, strengthening his body by tomb-raiding after entering the Immortal Realm, gaining more divine skills, and finally achieving Nine Stars Jade Immortal.

Without the background of an Immortal King, it’s impossible for him to receive guidance from an Immortal King, let alone understand the Immortal King Artifact himself, so he could only find a way, heading off course to refine the Five Elements Primordial Sphere.

And yet, it turned out to be all for nothing.

If that’s his case, why could Shi Hao be different?

Moreover, he was clearly a mortal, so how did he become the son of an Immortal King?

Master Qian Ji couldn’t understand it at all, feeling as though the heavens were playing a huge joke on him.

Shi Hao took a swift step forward and punched again.

Boom! Beyond limit combat power burst forth, and how could Master Qian Ji withstand it? He was sent flying once more.

Boom, boom, boom, Shi Hao kept punching, and Master Qian Ji could only endure the beating.

"Ah—" Master Qian Ji let out a stifled roar of rage. His life had been smooth sailing, barely encountering any setbacks when advancing to the Jade Immortal stage. Once he achieved Jade Immortal, the only one above him was an Immortal King, making him a dominant existence.

When had he ever been humiliated like this?

However, no matter how unwilling he was, when his strength was lacking, all he could do was endure being beaten.

To achieve Jade Immortal, Master Qian Ji naturally had a persevering heart. He was still searching for a chance to turn things around, relying on the Jade Immortal’s power, if he seized the opportunity to strike hard, he might turn the tables.

Unfortunately, Shi Hao was too strong, so strong that he didn’t stand a chance.

Master Qian Ji showed a grim look and made up his mind. If he couldn’t escape from such a situation, then let’s die together.

Was he afraid of death?

Yes.

But rather than being beaten to death by Shi Hao, he would rather choose a vigorous end, dragging Shi Hao to perish together.

With a boom, his soul stirred and began to self-destruct.

"Kid, let’s die together!" He roared, his eyes bloodshot. Whether the terrifying power of the Jade Immortal self-destruct would destroy the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, taking countless disciples down with it?

Haha, he was dying; what did it matter?

"Not going to happen," Shi Hao said coldly, "Today, I’m here to kill you!"

He stirred his spirit and directly cut off Master Qian Ji’s Divine Sense.

Instantly, Master Qian Ji’s consciousness could only churning inside his Soul Sea, unable to transmit commands to any corner of his body.

This way, the self-destructive process naturally stopped by itself.

This, this, this!

Master Qian Ji’s soul felt trapped in his own Soul Sea, sensing how strong Shi Hao’s spirit was; he couldn’t even escape his Soul Sea.

Immortal King level!

This was Immortal King-level spiritual strength.

—As a Jade Immortal, he had naturally seen Immortal Kings and had some understanding of an Immortal King’s Divine Sense.

Thus, he could immediately determine that this was Immortal King-level spiritual strength.

This didn’t mean Shi Hao was an Immortal King yet, but with such spiritual strength, how hard could it be to become an Immortal King?

This made him mad with envy.

He had exhausted his efforts just to become an Immortal King, but Shi Hao?

Seemed not to have made any sacrifices, already standing on top of him, even the Immortal King position he dreamed of was within reach.

Why?

Why is the heavens so unjust?

Bang!

But the only response he received was a cold iron fist.

"Old Qian Ji thief, the desire to become an Immortal King is understandable, but you can’t for your own selfish reasons drag an entire planet’s people to their deaths as well!" Shi Hao said coldly.

"What of it!" Master Qian Ji showed no sign of regret, "You’re almost at this level too, you should know how powerful an Immortal King is, you should know that only an Immortal King can truly play a role when the Asura Realm invades!"

"Sacrificing the people of one Celestial Body to repel the Asura Realm invasion, saving more lives, is it not worth it?"

"Look at how many people died during the last Asura Realm invasion, is this comparable to even one, a hundred, or a thousand Mortal Realm celestial bodies’ lives?"

Shi Hao remained unmoved, "Clearly doing it for your own ambition, yet bringing out such pompous reasons, you really are shameless!"

Boom boom boom, he didn’t want to argue with Master Qian Ji anymore, iron fists raining down.

Though Master Qian Ji’s body was strong, how could it withstand such above-limit force being pummeled like this, coughing blood incessantly.

"Enough!" A cold but authoritative voice resounded.
