Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1602: Myriad Incarnations

Shi Hao chuckled and said, "What, the scars haven’t healed, and you’ve already forgotten the pain?"

Li Zihao was startled, but he seemed to think of something, and immediately regained his confidence, saying, "Shi Hao, your arrogance ends here!"

"Oh?" Shi Hao looked at him. "What Earth-shattering Divine Skills have you cultivated in these past eighty years to dare speak to me like this?"

Li Zihao’s face reddened — how could he possibly cultivate any divine skill?

"This is our Heaven Breaking clan’s senior brother, Lord Guo Yang!" Li Zihao pointed to the drunkard, "Lord Guo has just awakened and, after hearing of your reputation, wishes to spar with you."

The senior brother of the Heaven Breaking lineage?

That means he is a direct disciple of the Heavenshatter Immortal Venerable, and the first disciple at that.

Guo Yang chuckled softly, "I am not the eldest disciple of the master, but the senior brothers before me have all embraced the Tao, so I became the senior brother!"

He explained with a sentence and then stared at Shi Hao, his gaze suddenly brightened, like a nova exploding.

But it was only for a moment; he returned to normal and indulgently swigged from his old bottle again. "Are you really Shi Hao?"

"Lord Guo, he is indeed Shi Hao, I’d recognize him even if he turned to ash!" Li Zihao quickly said.

This person was behind his arm’s debilitation, and to this day has yet to heal it; every time he sees Shi Hao, hatred rises in his heart.

Guo Yang laughed abruptly, "Such a person could also defeat Mo Jianxin? Haha, it truly cracks me up!"

He could see clearly; this person’s combat power was merely three-star, not even matching Li Zihao.

Li Zihao was stunned; Guo Yang actually gave Shi Hao this kind of evaluation?

One must know, this was the Heavenshatter Immortal Venerable’s eldest disciple, previously sealed with Life Origin, in a sleepless state until he was awakened a few years ago.

Sealing Life Origin involves the highest Immortal Venerable methodology and presents a significant exhaustion for an Immortal Venerable, hence only being considered for their most cherished individuals—those they believe may inherit their legacy—before they dissolve themselves into the Tao.

Thus, Guo Yang’s talent and strength are naturally beyond doubt.

Could he be wrong?

No!

So, Shi Hao actually isn’t as strong as imagined?

Yes, he once thought that, until he was slapped around.

What happened?

"Go spar with him a bit." Guo Yang directed Li Zihao.

Li Zihao had a deep psychological shadow when it came to Shi Hao, and upon hearing this instinctively felt a jolt of fear.

"Hmm?" Guo Yang raised an eyebrow, and a terrifying killing intent burst forth, scaring Li Zihao almost to wet his pants.

To scare an Immortal King to such an extent, how astounding must Guo Yang’s killing intent be?

— Of course, given that Immortal Kings groomed by the Immortal Venerable lineage lack the sturdiness of those who cultivated their own Immortal King Bones, otherwise outside Immortal Kings would not be so easily scared.

Left with no choice, Li Zihao approached Shi Hao, apprehensive, not wanting to lose his other arm.

Shi Hao looked towards Guo Yang; this guy’s eyesight was incisively keen, instantly gauging the depth of his incarnation.

Moreover, the opponent had securely locked in on him, ensuring that any movement would be met with Guo Yang’s lethal response before he could tear open space to escape.

The opponent was just that strong.

No less formidable than Mo Jianxin!

Li Zihao bellowed, bolstering his morale, and lunged at Shi Hao.

Even though the incarnation had risen to a three-star Immortal King, Shi Hao had no fear in battle, brandishing his fists to confront him.

Bam!

With but one blow, Shi Hao was sent flying.

Despite the incarnation’s significant advance, the gap between three and four stars was still too large.

Li Zihao froze, disbelief struck him, Shi Hao was unexpectedly so vulnerable.

This was, at best, the combat power of a three-star Immortal King.

Then, he lunged at Shi Hao again.

Shi Hao hurriedly dodged; the discrepancy of one star in the Immortal King realm made a vast difference in combat power.

Mainly, it was because this was merely an incarnation, with no trump card, naturally lacking the potential for a comeback.

Time to leave.

Shi Hao noticed Guo Yang had shifted his focus, so he turned and left without hesitation.

Li Zihao laughed heartily and chased after Shi Hao.

At this moment, Li Zihao brimmed with confidence, as if he had been pumped with adrenaline.

Guo Yang shook his head, showing no intent to follow.

Such trash wasn’t worth his effort.

Hmph!

He initially thought this person could defeat Mo Jianxin, being worthy of a fight, but now?

Just bragging probably.

He turned away.

...

Chase! Chase! I chase and chase!

At this moment, Li Zihao felt he had reached his life’s Peak, spirited beyond description.

After holding back for eighty years, it was all bursting forth now.

You’re this weak?

You’re actually this weak?

How did you injure me back then?

You deceiver!

Huh?

Suddenly he froze because Shi Hao had stopped.

Realized you can’t run, so now resolve to fight me to the death?

"Shi Hao, you indeed have a good sense of self-awareness!" he sneered.

"You should be the one with awareness." A voice emerged.

Who?

Li Zihao turned his head and then showed an utterly incredulous expression.

Too, too shocking!

Another Shi Hao!

How is that possible?

He glanced at the first Shi Hao; they were... identical.

"Haha, haven’t had enough of a lesson?" A third voice resounded.

Li Zihao followed the sound, eyes widening further.

What did he see?

A third Shi Hao!

How could this be? How could this be!

How many did your mother give birth to?

"This is courting death." A fourth voice echoed, and then a fourth Shi Hao appeared.

Li Zihao was numb, four identical siblings? And every one advanced to an Immortal King?

"Since he seeks his own demise, let’s send him off." A fifth Shi Hao appeared.

Then, a sixth, seventh, eighth... more Shi Haos kept emerging, even beginning to crowd.

Li Zihao was completely dumbfounded, four siblings are barely credible, but how many are there?

A hundred? A thousand?

He trembled, each Shi Hao exuding three-star Immortal King aura.

Facing one, he wouldn’t worry, suppressing it effortlessly, as the power gap between Immortal Kings differing by a star was heaven to earth.

But a one-on-many?

Five he could handle, still suppress, eight would be difficult, but he’d still have the upper hand, with ten it would definitely be balanced.

But now... a thousand? Even several thousand?

If each delivered a punch, they could shred him into pieces.

"What’s happening here?" He asked trembling.

"Facing death, why ask so much?" one of Shi Hao’s incarnations said.

Boom!

At once, all the Shi Haos swarmed.

If this were several thousand Immortal Kings attacking jointly, one plus one wouldn’t necessarily equal two, rather it’d be less than two.

Why?

Lack of coordination.

However, as these are all Shi Hao’s incarnations, what kind of seamless unity would they have?
