Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1579: Supreme Sword Qi

No one knew if this person had poor vision or simply couldn’t see beyond the muddy road, but as soon as this person stepped out of the mud, they seemed to notice Shi Hao and instinctively shrank back, as if startled.

Given the ability to walk the muddy path, could their sight be that poor?

There was only one possibility.

—Coming from the other side of the muddy road, it’s impossible to see this side of the situation.

This seemed like... coming from another world, seeing only a glowing exit?

Shi Hao looked at this person, whose full armor naturally obscured their face, but there was a faint aura exuding from their body.

Immortal King.

An Immortal King actually crossed the muddy road?

Shi Hao’s gaze immediately focused on the person’s armor, thinking this must be the key.

But what material could withstand the deadly nature of the muddy road?

Immortal King Gold?

Absolutely impossible!

"I never expected anyone to be here!" The person also looked at Shi Hao, speaking with a voice full of killing intent, "Well, no choice, I’ll have to kill you!"

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "You’re so domineering, I’m just standing here and that’s the way to court death?"

"Hmph, who told you to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?" the person said coldly, "Blame your bad luck!"

Boom!

The person attacked, striking towards Shi Hao.

Seven-star Immortal King, no wonder their tone was so arrogant.

Shi Hao completely dismissed it.

Before stepping into the two-star Immortal King level, he could already suppress the combat power of a nine-star Immortal King, let alone now when his combat power was higher than ever!

Seven-star Immortal King?

Shi Hao reached out his hand, very naturally placing it on the person’s shoulder.

Suddenly, the person’s attack came to a halt.

"Since it’s fate to meet, why be rude and cover your face?" Shi Hao laughed, reaching to remove the person’s helmet.

Huh?

The armor on the person’s body that could resist the dangers of the muddy path was assumed by Shi Hao to be a Supreme Treasure, but unexpectedly, with a casual move, the helmet came right off.

So easy?

Shi Hao was taken aback, then looked at the face beneath the helmet.

It looked very young, but the flame of this person’s life had been burning for millions of years.

How could it be!

Immortal Kings, while having a long lifespan, could only live for five hundred thousand years in one lifetime, even with some life-extending treasure medicine, they’d at most live an additional ten thousand years.

Yes, Immortal Kings can reincarnate, but once they do, the flame of life reignites, severing all ties with the previous life, retaining only the memories, everything else starts anew.

So, for this person’s life flame to have burned for millions of years, it was very strange!

No, it absolutely shouldn’t be possible.

"Who are you?" Shi Hao asked sternly.

This person must harbor a great secret, perhaps... Eternal Life?

The person was completely shocked, never expecting to be subdued with one move!

Is this really the Immortal Realm?

Wasn’t it said the Immortal Realm revered Immortal Kings, that the only ones above were nine Immortal Venerables?

So, as long as he didn’t encounter those nine Supremes, he would be undefeatable with an Immortal King Artifact.

But now?

A moment of carelessness, without using the Immortal King Artifact, led to being subdued in one move!

Immortal Kings are hard to kill, for they escape quickly when sensing something amiss, but now he was caught, it’d be easy to die.

He didn’t want to die, absolutely didn’t want to!

"My name is Luo Anmin." The person said honestly, completely lacking the arrogance of an Immortal King.

Admitted just like that?

Shi Hao was slightly surprised.

It’s said that self-cultivated Immortal Kings are the most arrogant and proud, like Immortal King Zi Feng, although he and Shi Hao didn’t get along, Shi Hao couldn’t deny the pride of Immortal King Zi Feng.

—From start to finish, no matter how desperate the situation, Immortal King Zi Feng never begged for mercy.

But those nurtured by the lineage of an Immortal Venerable didn’t have the same pride, because they relied largely on the grace of the Immortal Venerable.

Yet, regardless of the lack of pride, they still should possess the dignity of an Immortal King, not spineless.

But this Luo Anmin... Shi Hao was speechless.

I haven’t even started intimidating you and you’ve surrendered?

What kind of spinelessness is this!

How could someone like this achieve the status of an Immortal King, is Heaven blind?

And this Luo Anmin truly was spineless; seeing Shi Hao in a daze, he had no intention of resisting, simply waiting obediently for Shi Hao to come back to his senses.

Of course, even if he did make a move, with Shi Hao’s strength, he couldn’t succeed.

But for an Immortal King to lack such resistance, it was truly surprising.

"Did you come from over there?" Shi Hao asked, pointing to the distant end of the muddy road.

"Yes." Luo Anmin was very cooperative, answering every question.

"What’s over there...?" Shi Hao asked again.

"There—" Luo Anmin had just uttered one word when his eyes suddenly bulged, and with a swooshing sound, a sword light slashed out from his forehead.

This sword strike was indescribably terrifying.

Yue Ying struck in a timely fashion, also slashing out a sword Qi.

Boom!

Shi Hao was sent flying, his body covered in wounds from the residual sword Qi.

"Yue Ying!" he immediately called out.

"Such terrifying strength!" Yue Ying’s voice sounded very weak, "I’ve exhausted all my power, I’ll need to sleep for a while. Please avoid doing such dangerous things again."

With that, her voice disappeared. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yue Ying had expended all her strength with just one sword strike?

Hiss, what a terrifying sword strike was this?

Immortal Venerable level?

Probably, otherwise, a near Supreme Treasure would not have failed after just one strike.

The key was, Luo Anmin was just an Immortal King, so that sword light must have been sealed within him by someone else, hence, which Immortal Venerable could plant a sword Qi in someone, unleashing the power of an Immortal Venerable?

If not an Immortal Venerable, is there something stronger than an Immortal Venerable?

Shi Hao looked at Luo Anmin, who was pitiful, his head cleaved open by the sword Qi, dead beyond doubt.

His eyes were wide open with disbelief, clearly not expecting to meet such a tragic end here.

An Immortal King!

In the Immortal Realm, an Immortal King is the lord of a domain, whose mere stomp could trigger an earthquake, but now?

His head was split open, dying such a miserable death without any significance.

"Mouse, anything to say?" Shi Hao asked the Purple Gold Rat.

The Purple Gold Rat shrugged: "I’m just as shocked!"

Did this guy know something?

Shi Hao stared at the Purple Gold Rat for a while, then slowly said, "This man’s head was sealed with a sword Qi, triggered under special conditions."

The Purple Gold Rat nodded, this was deduced from the facts, naturally no problem.

"And the trigger condition seems to be related to the information on that side." Shi Hao looked towards the other end of the muddy road.
