Or perhaps a disciple’s grandchild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao smiled faintly, \"Just a Loose Cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan snorted, \"A Loose Cultivator? Can a Loose Cultivator survive to get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Heavenly Ancient Vine we encountered earlier, I only escaped with a Godspeed Talisman from my sect. And such a Divine Talisman? Haha, how many people in the world can make one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Loose Cultivator entering the Forbidden Land is asking for death; there’s no way they could get this deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao shrugged, \"That’s none of your business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hit a snag, An Xuan didn’t get angry. To him, Shi Hao was no different from an ant, not worth getting upset over. If needed, he’d just erase him with a wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I just want to know,\" An Xuan looked at Shi Hao, raising an eyebrow, \"To get here, your strength must be extraordinary. I just want to see how this so-called young king measures up; can you handle ten of my moves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attacked directly, not giving Shi Hao a chance to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s domineering like this, but so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength was his confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whiz, he casually pointed, but the power fused with an Immortal Rule, transforming into a stream of light shooting toward Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao blocked it with a hand, casually snuffing out the stream of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten moves? Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan didn’t show surprise or fear. Instead, he showed an interest, saying lightly, \"Not bad. To take my strike, you must rank highly among those so-called young kings outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of that move reached fifteen stars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, like Gu Cheng, Hong Tian, and other famous descendants of Immortal Kings, fifteen stars were their ultimate combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he casually unleashed such an attack, indicating his upper combat power far exceeded fifteen stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t boasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao shrugged, \"Then you take my punch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, he threw a punch, though intentionally controlled, only exhibiting sixteen-star combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan easily deflected it, showing appreciation, \"Is this your strongest combat power? I must say, as a descendant of an Immortal King, achieving sixteen-star combat power is impressive! But if you think this is my strongest combat power, haha, don’t try to see your endpoint as my starting point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, you really know how to talk to yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao shook his head, waving another punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan took it head-on but involuntarily slid back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he finally showed a surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the power of that strike reached seventeen stars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was that possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most outstanding Immortal King in any stage never achieved seventeen-star combat power—having such talent would mean having the potential to attain near Immortal Venerable status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be, he’s the same as me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan let out a light whistle, charging towards Shi Hao proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he finally went all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, eighteen-star combat power burst forth, making him look invincible; every punch and kick carried supreme power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao’s eyes lit up; this was indeed a good opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed up, unleashing his full combat power, colliding with An Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of moves later, they were still evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Both eighteen-star combat power and prodigious talents, without using their Ultimate Moves, it was too hard to determine a winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan snorted, \"Which Immortal Venerable’s disciple are you? Why are you toying with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such combat power could only be taught by an Immortal Venerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao smiled faintly, \"And which Immortal Venerable’s disciple are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, he only knew Old Ding was an Immortal Venerable, but as for the other eight, he was clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan haughtily declared, \"My grandmaster is Immortal Venerable Beimiao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble, as he mentioned Immortal Venerable Beimiao, the atmosphere seemed to stir as if something formidable was about to break through the Forbidden Land’s sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of an Immortal Venerable should not be mentioned lightly, for it will invoke a cosmic response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of an Immortal Venerable was truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Forbidden Land, even the power of an Immortal Venerable couldn’t manifest here, so the world just stirred momentarily without any face or hand appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which sect are you from?\" An Xuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao smiled slightly, \"Take a guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess, my foot, if I knew, why would I ask you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xuan laughed loudly, \"Then let’s fight. If you lose, you must tell me your sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, he charged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao’s battle spirit surged, punching to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight lasted only a few rounds before An Xuan used an Immortal Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lamp, revived, spewed overwhelming ice flames with a single blow, terrifyingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a luminous Jade Immortal Artifact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao wasn’t afraid, transforming Myriad Thunder Immortal Gold into a long knife, wildly slashing as thunder roared, equally immensely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Myriad Thunder True Gold!\" An Xuan recognized it immediately, showing surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a Golden Immortal, yet wielding an Immortal King Artifact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, your family sure dotes on you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like him, a grand-disciple of an Immortal Venerable, held a high status but could only use a luminous Jade Immortal Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn’t believe Shi Hao was a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable because becoming a disciple was strictly selective, and even with his remarkable aptitude, he remained a disciple’s grandchild; he couldn’t believe Shi Hao was superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just showed Shi Hao’s lineage was too indulgent, granting an Immortal King Artifact at such an early stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, even if you have an Immortal King Artifact, without reaching the Immortal King realm, you can’t fully unleash its true power!\" he scoffed, accelerating his assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao chuckled, the one surprised was you, and the one mocking was you; why so dramatic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be bothered to argue, focusing on countering An Xuan with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must admit this opponent truly provided substantial pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In battles of the same rank, even Huang Tianqing couldn’t pressure Shi Hao this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Huang Tianqing, an Immortal Prince, only mastered Immortal King Techniques, while An Xuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an Immortal Venerable’s disciple, mastering various Immortal Venerable Techniques, vastly outclassing the same-rank Huang Tianqing both in attack and defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao mastered the Nine Death Heavenly Art, refining his physique to extreme resilience; this was an Immortal Venerable Technique, nearly a quasi-Immortal Venerable Technique, while An Xuan’s techniques were certainly no worse, possibly even superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, on the level of techniques, An Xuan was not inferior to Shi Hao, possibly at an advantage, and their combat power was perfectly equal, making the battle hard to resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao also felt the pressure, the looming sense of defeat or death he hadn’t felt in a long time, igniting his battle spirit, fueling his intense desire for combat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1144,"2026-06-09T05:59:22.996Z",1,"novelbin.me","7dd967c58ed2cd397295779588a2b421afa5cfa4b4344b92dab974e26bcc8cdd","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1406","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1404",1662,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fasura-emperor-venerable-cover.jpg"]
