Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1591: The Final Battle

Oh, the Nine Flames Lineage has arrived?

Shi Hao frowned slightly, then nodded: "Invite them to the hall; I’ll be there shortly."

"Yes."

Shi Hao walked leisurely into the great hall, and at this time, the people from the Nine Flames Lineage were also just ushered in.

They were a group of three, led by the Sword Tiger Immortal King; the other two were also Immortal Kings, but their cultivation was clearly inferior.

Shi Hao glanced at the Sword Tiger Immortal King, who had made several moves against him; thus, he was on his must-kill list.

However, to avoid putting too much pressure on Ding Lingfeng, Shi Hao restrained the killing intent in his heart and did not attack the Sword Tiger Immortal King.

Old Ding did indeed buy him time, for no Immortal Venerable would make a move against him before he possessed quasi-Immortal Venerable combat power. But if he killed too many Immortal Venerable disciples, an Immortal Venerable might not be able to resist and act early.

Shi Hao is not someone who likes to cause trouble for others.

"What is it?" he asked directly.

The Sword Tiger Immortal King was extremely displeased. Not only was he a veteran Immortal King, but his cultivation reached Nine Stars. He was also a disciple of an Immortal Venerable!

Such status, how noble?

Is this how you treat me?

However, thinking of his mission and considering Shi Hao’s current strength, he suppressed his discontent and said in a deep voice, "The grudges between you and my Nine Flames Lineage should be settled!"

"Oh, how do you plan to settle it?" Shi Hao asked indifferently.

"I’ll give you two paths," the Sword Tiger Immortal King said, "First, come to our Nine Flames Lineage to face punishment, and for Extinguishing Thunder’s sake, we won’t make it too hard for you. Secondly, we will send someone to challenge you in battle; after this fight, regardless of the outcome, our grudges will be wiped clean."

Shi Hao chuckled. How intense is this sense of superiority?

Oh, after a fight, we wipe the slate clean?

Wishful thinking!

Do you think your Nine Flames Lineage is the victim here?

Your repeated targeting and assassinations are conveniently ignored by you?

Ridiculous!

Shi Hao could never let the Sword Tiger Immortal King go. The reason he hadn’t acted now was to avoid adding more trouble for Old Ding.

If he were all alone, he would directly kill the Sword Tiger Immortal King and then hide in the Forbidden Land, coming out after achieving Immortal Venerable status.

But it’s different now; Su Manman is pregnant. He cannot let his child be born and grow up in the Forbidden Land.

No rush!

In fact, the Nine Flames Immortal Venerable would never let him go. They haven’t acted yet only because Old Ding’s threat is real. But one day, when Shi Hao possesses quasi-Immortal Venerable combat power, they will launch an attack—regardless of whether Ding Lingfeng agrees or not.

Because after achieving quasi-Immortal Venerable status, Shi Hao will be perceived as a threat to their position, which is the foundation and limit of an Immortal Venerable.

Therefore, Shi Hao will inevitably have a significant conflict with the Nine Flames Lineage.

—Not just the Nine Flames Lineage, the other Immortal Venerables won’t sit idle either. Who knows which essence Shi Hao will target?

So, no matter what, they must kill him to eliminate future troubles once and for all.

Shi Hao smiled faintly: "Let’s leave the question of resolving things aside for now. Since you want to fight, I’ll entertain you."

Entertain?

What arrogance!

The Sword Tiger Immortal King sneered: "Since that’s the case, it’s settled! In a month’s time, we will visit again!"

He left with the other two Immortal Kings, and the next day, the news of Shi Hao’s upcoming duel with the Nine Flames Lineage spread throughout the world.

Is this the start of building momentum?

Shi Hao pondered. How confident is the Nine Flames Lineage to announce it to the world?

Aren’t they afraid of losing and being utterly humiliated?

So, they have a foolproof plan?

Shi Hao never underestimates the people of the world. Since he has obtained the Heaven and Earth Wheel with three rings, it means such talents exist, and under the guidance of an Immortal Venerable, a few monstrous geniuses developing the Heaven and Earth Wheel with three or even four rings within the Nine Flames Lineage is not impossible.

Such opponents could definitely be called formidable.

However, Shi Hao also has strong confidence in himself.

Now he’s superior to super Immortal Kings with a three-ring Heaven and Earth Wheel, and that’s referencing his regular combat power.

But everyone has big moves, and these bursts may turn the tide unexpectedly.

How many big moves does Shi Hao have?

Little Star Universe! Petrification Technique! Fire Origin!

These are all at the Immortal Venerable level, and Little Star Universe is even the key to becoming a Celestial Venerable!

Any one of these could greatly enhance his combat power or significantly weaken the opponent’s power, not to mention all three?

"I’m looking forward to the kind of opponent I’ll face."

Shi Hao smiled, unconcerned, still accompanying Su Manman daily and trying to help Weng Nanqing and Woo Yueyi also become mothers. But for an Immortal King, bearing a child is extremely difficult, and despite his strenuous efforts, both women remained without any signs of pregnancy.

No worries; take it slowly. After all, their lives are very long, with plenty of time.

During this period, countless Immortal Kings also flocked to the Phantom Sea Immortal Domain.

To watch the excitement!

A duel between Immortal Venerable disciples, who wouldn’t want to witness it firsthand?

Of course, another reason was the Asura Realm’s ceasefire, giving these Immortal Kings the leisure to spare such time.

For an Immortal King, a month’s time is enough to travel from any corner of the Immortal Realm—except for the Forbidden Land, where once plunged deep, people become deaf to external information. Even if informed, emerging from the depths would take years.

"Hao’er, you absolutely must not be careless!" The Hongwu Immortal King also came over, worried as a son-in-law is set to duel, and the opponent is an Immortal Venerable’s disciple.

He feared Shi Hao’s pride. Arrogant troops are doomed to failure.

Shi Hao nodded: "Don’t worry, father-in-law, I’ll be careful."

"I heard your other wife is pregnant?" the Hongwu Immortal King suddenly shifted the topic.

"Uh, yes."

The Hongwu Immortal King patted Shi Hao’s shoulder: "You can’t favor one and neglect the other, quickly give this king a grandson too!"

Can such things be rushed?

Shi Hao was speechless; it’s not for lack of trying, but hard work alone doesn’t work.

"Alright, I’ll do my best." But faced with the Hongwu Immortal King’s expectant gaze, he could only nod and agree.

A month’s time passed quickly, and Su Manman also reached her due date. Shi Hao’s first child might be born any day now.

At this moment, the Nine Flames Lineage arrived.

This time, they came with many people.

Nearly a hundred.

"Shi Hao, come out!" the Sword Tiger Immortal King shouted, his voice booming, echoing throughout the Summit of the Stars.

Shi Hao hadn’t shown himself yet, but the Immortal Kings appeared one by one, standing in the sky.

Some shameless Immortal Kings stayed at the Summit of the Stars under the guise of visiting, but more wandered within the Phantom Sea Immortal Domain, waiting for the showdown day to arrive.

Now that the Nine Flames Lineage had arrived, they naturally hurried over.

Shing, a sword light suddenly slashed across, slicing toward the Summit of the Stars.

This strike was enough to split the Summit of the Stars, annihilating all living things.
