Why did Shi Hao suddenly decide to attack him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying his best to break through, with his guard slightly relaxed, making his defense the weakest at this moment. And Shi Hao chose this exact moment to unleash a devastating strike, leaving him no room to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Block with all your might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time running short, he could only gather all his power and Immortal Rule at his neck, hoping to withstand the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one slash, Ma Bufe’s head was severed from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— This was an Immortal King Artifact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao laughed heartily and swiftly collected Ma Bufe’s Immortal Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was not a wasted effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fan was utterly flabbergasted, not expecting that Shi Hao’s real target was Ma Bufe instead of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent had intentionally cornered him, making everyone else believe that Shi Hao aimed at him since it seemed the easiest target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Bufe was deceived too, thinking he found a chance to escape. He indeed found a gap, but it revealed an enormous flaw, leading to his demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pitiful, pathetic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fan’s heart panicked. This young man was too shrewd, exploiting human weaknesses to the fullest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only he remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already at a dead end, far from being Shi Hao’s match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his Immortal Artifact, he dared not face the sharpness of Myriad Thunder True Gold. Within a few moves, Shi Hao killed him on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Manman and Woo Yueyi were both shocked, thrilled, and moved, realizing Shi Hao’s combat power was terrifying to this extent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have needed to stand up for Shi Hao, as his strength was enough to counter Guo Fan and Ma Bufe alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was for the best; few knew of Shi Hao’s prodigious skills, allowing him to remain undisturbed, giving him time and space to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, speaking of things close at hand, Lin Hongdao himself was tremendously fearsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as Woo Yueyi knew, Lin Hongdao broke through the Ten-Star Silver Spirit Immortal a thousand years ago. Whether he stopped at ten stars or advanced to eleven stars, even she didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such combat power, he could easily defeat Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And geniuses like Lin Hongdao abound in the Great Wilderness Realm, not in thousands but certainly in hundreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there are hundreds of Immortal King descendants!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Realm was incredibly vast, producing geniuses generation after generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grow quietly, without any recklessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao searched the bodies of Guo Fan and Ma Bufe, gaining a small bounty, then dug a pit and buried them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because he planned to stay in this small grove for a while, constantly looking at their corpses was quite disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the powerful Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, Shi Hao frequently entered the grove, harvesting was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days later, he had picked more than half the mature fruits in the entire grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these days, Shi Hao, Su Manman, and Woo Yueyi were daily consuming Immortal Fruits, Vegetables, and Meat, rapidly enhancing their body refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Su Manman and Woo Yueyi very satisfied since body refinement was usually tedious and unavoidable. Now, being able to accomplish it swiftly in this manner naturally delighted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the understanding of Immortal Rule depended more on one’s perception and effort, with external aids providing help but ultimately limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, Shi Hao had just picked a bunch of fruits and was waiting for the recovery of the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique when he suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure was approaching slowly, appearing leisurely but with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, he stood before the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an extremely handsome man, dressed in an immaculate white robe, enhancing his graceful carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sisters, brother!” The man nodded to Shi Hao and the two women, all charming and courteous, imbued with a noble charisma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao and the two women nodded back in return, reciprocating the respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Gu Cheng of the Spirit Clan.” The man smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are Gu Cheng!” Woo Yueyi exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Manman was stunned too and said, “I have heard of your name. They say you broke through the Twelve-Star Copper Armor Immortal to become a Silver Spirit Immortal, overshadowing many Immortal King heirs to advance to the top ten in the Longyun Plateau gathering a thousand years ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unfortunately, that gathering only ranked the top ten without further distinctions.” Woo Yueyi lamented, seemingly eager to know where Gu Cheng ranked among the strongest Silver Spirit Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng merely smiled: “The two sisters overestimate me. Brother Shi, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please go ahead, senior brother.” Su Manman and Woo Yueyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao nodded as well. Gu Cheng definitely exceeded the limit of ten stars, but the exact number remained indiscernible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Once surpassing the limit, outsiders saw the cultivation level as Nine Stars; only oneself knew the true star count. Shi Hao could sense it due to possessing the Little Star Universe, making his intuition keen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng proceeded into the grove and began harvesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short order, the fruits fell, a radiant glow emanating, yet Gu Cheng merely pressed his hand to effortlessly repel the incoming brilliance, calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao nodded: “This guy is at least Eleven Stars!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks here were fiercer than the vegetable field’s, whose barrage reached ten stars, so here’s potency was likely Eleven Stars—if not exact, very close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng easily neutralized them, indicating his power was at least Eleven Stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could withstand the bombardment from the falling fruits without needing to leave the grove, merely harvesting uninterrupted, finishing in half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode out and approached the three, extending a handful of fruits: “A small token from me, please accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the three only had a cultivation of two stars, unfit to explore the grove’s interior. Yet unwilling to leave, they lingered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, he generously offered a few Immortal Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—This act was indeed generous, as others like Guo Fan and Ma Bufe wouldn’t give even one fruit, let alone a handful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woo Yueyi was the most “straightforward” and hurriedly declined: “Senior brother, that’s too kind. We have already gained, and cannot accept your charity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao picked most of the mature fruits, yielding a greater harvest than Gu Cheng, naturally making her uneasy to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng couldn’t believe this and thought Woo Yueyi was simply being polite. “Take them!” he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior brother, we really have enough.” Woo Yueyi reluctantly produced a sizable pile of Immortal Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larger and more mature than Gu Cheng’s, as Shi Hao, fastidious, prioritized the best fruits during his limited harvesting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-09T05:59:16.833Z",1,"novelbin.me","6139c14426a56f9fd0d4161031591b22c566aaca414076f04d472b10e75e6671","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1231","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1229",1662,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fasura-emperor-venerable-cover.jpg"]
