Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1606: The Third Person

For others, the hardest part of reaching Immortal King status is definitely the breakthrough in the realm.

Comprehending Immortal Rule is incredibly difficult!

But for Shi Hao, it’s quite the opposite. His understanding is sufficient; after all, he’s already begun deducing the Principle of Origin. Rather, it’s the accumulation of cultivation that has become the challenge. It often takes decades or even hundreds of years. And it can be foreseen, especially after Breaking the Extreme, that the energy Shi Hao needs to complete a minor realm will be incredibly terrifying.

How many years will it take?

Two hundred years? Three hundred years?

It’s all possible!

Maybe even longer.

There’s no choice; who asked him to continue aiming for such extremes?

However, now he’s a Nine Stars Immortal King, which is certainly worth celebrating.

Upon stepping into Nine Stars, not only has the strength of his incarnations also progressed to Five Stars Immortal King, but there’s also a significant change.

——The appearance of the incarnations can change freely.

Since there are so many incarnations, isn’t it possible to send a few out? There’s no need to keep them all here, right?

With a single thought, Shi Hao immediately withdrew ten incarnations from the Forbidden Land, took some time to go out, and then went to the Hongwu Immortal Domain and the Phantom Sea Immortal Domain to protect his children.

These ten incarnations all changed their appearance to no longer resemble Shi Hao, even completely different. Unless Shi Hao himself proves it, no one would associate them with Shi Hao.

Therefore, with these incarnations secretly protecting them, it’s as if Shi Hao himself is nearby, so he’s naturally assured.

——A Five Stars Immortal King protecting his children, isn’t that enough?

Shi Hao was at ease in cultivating, with incarnations traversing the Forbidden Land, experiencing great losses, but with substantial gains.

This is already the internal area of the Forbidden Land, still incredibly vast, but relative to the entire Forbidden Land, it’s already very small, about one-twentieth the size.

However, this area is truly fraught with danger.

No matter how cautious Shi Hao is, he’s losing incarnations daily.

There’s no way around it; the incarnations aren’t him; they don’t have as many backup plans, like Instantaneous Movement. They can only forcibly tear open space to escape.

However, the environment of the Forbidden Land is stable, and the space isn’t easy to tear open. Although not impossible to tear open, it takes a bit longer — although it’s just a tiny bit, can you afford to be a tiny bit off in a crisis?

Hence, when encountering danger, the death rate of the incarnations is exceedingly high.

Although when an incarnation dies, Shi Hao only loses a tiny bit of cells, any loss is a loss and will certainly affect his cultivation progress. Besides, several incarnations die daily, the cumulative effect isn’t to be ignored.

Yet, when compared to the gains brought back by the incarnations, it’s insignificant.

For instance, a few days ago, Shi Hao discovered a Great Medicine, deploying a total of seven hundred incarnations, who went forward one after another to pick it, finally just one incarnation survived, showing the ferocity.

This place is simply unsuitable for Immortals — which Immortal has more than seven hundred lives?

Of course, Xuanbing Xianwang is an exception. She cultivated the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique, having an astonishing number of incarnations. However, her incarnations need to each cultivate individually, losing one is much more costly for her than for Shi Hao, at most able to pick one Great Medicine, then she absolutely couldn’t continue.

Still, paying such a high price, just to pick one Great Medicine?

Xuanbing Xianwang would have to be insane to do that.

Speaking of which, did she really hide in the Forbidden Land, how come she’s never been encountered?

Yet, the Forbidden Land is so vast, how difficult is it to deliberately find a person?

If it were so easy to find, why would anyone hide in the Forbidden Land?

Shi Hao chuckled, while refining Immortal Elixir, he arrived at the entrance to that muddy path.

He will capture everyone coming from there!

Can’t let them destroy the stability between the realms, otherwise, it would bring disastrous consequences.

And indeed, he was right to block.

A few years later, someone emerged from the muddy path.

Similarly, fully encased in battle armor, emitting a soft glow.

That was protection against the lethal dangers on the muddy path.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but marvel at the ruthlessness of the powers at the end of the muddy path, sending people across but not planning for them to return.

——If possible, Shi Hao himself would have worn battle armor last time.

It’s impossible.

The life substance inside the battle armor is limited, enough only for one round trip, leaving these visitors barely enough to sustain themselves here, not nearly enough to return.

However, the life substance will eventually run out, so these visitors will quietly die here, like meteors, coming and going in haste, remembered by no one, as if they never existed.

Unfortunately, these visitors might not even know their fate, thinking they’ll return once their task is complete.

Putting these thoughts aside, Shi Hao wouldn’t allow these visitors to destroy the stability between the realms.

It’s a fundamental conflict, irreconcilable.

Just like someone coming to destroy your home, regardless of the reason, you couldn’t stand idly by; you have to stop it.

Swoosh, the person stepped off the muddy path, exhaled deeply, seemingly having gone through a lot.

"Oh?" Only then did he see Shi Hao, and was taken aback.

On the muddy path, he couldn’t see this end, so suddenly seeing someone standing at the entrance naturally startled him.

This was one of those who came from the other side of the muddy path; if it were the Immortals outside, they’d certainly remain unmoved even if the sky collapsed before them.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice buzzing, slightly distorted coming through the battle armor.

Shi Hao smiled casually, "Shouldn’t you report your name first? But I’m not interested in knowing, anyway, you’re about to be a dead man."

"Absurd!" the man shouted, immediately launching an attack at Shi Hao.

Boom!

In the next instant, he was grounded by Shi Hao.

Shi Hao ripped off his helmet; the man screamed miserably but didn’t instantly age and die as the previous ones had.

"What’s the fuss over dying, screaming so loudly?" Shi Hao joked.

"You don’t understand, you really don’t understand!" The man was panicked, "Put the helmet back on me quickly!"

Shi Hao shook his head, "Heh, is this how you talk to me?"

"Please! I beg you!" Across the man’s face was a stark look of terror.

This is an Immortal King?

Ha!

Shi Hao confirmed a guess; indeed, right after coming through the muddy path, even when this environment connected, one couldn’t die immediately.

This is because, on the other side of the muddy path, it’s filled with life substance, so the person still has excess to temporarily resist the erosion of time, but once these life substances have fully dissipated, he’ll need the battle armor to sustain himself?

"How many people are there on your side?" Shi Hao asked.

Could this be a secret?

"There are-"

Boom!

Just saying one word, the man’s head exploded, and this time, no attack was launched; a huge eye appeared, staring at Shi Hao.
