What do these top nine strongest beings in the world look like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around but didn’t see even a trace of their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Venerables had arrived, yet they seemed very distant; even with his ocular power, he couldn’t see them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the nine of them felt their bodies lighten, and they soared into the sky, traversing above the Forbidden Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Shi Hao found himself at the sea that had previously blocked him; looking down from above, it was indeed vast, but it didn’t surround the entire interior of the Forbidden Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at the edge of the sea was a Flame Mountain; even at such a great height, Shi Hao cringed — the intense flames were enough to kill him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were now protected by the Immortal Venerables, each enveloped in a thin aura of light, thin yet strong enough to ward off any terrible threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, their speed was so fast that they instantly passed through this area, entering deeper into the more expansive Forbidden Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Forbidden Land was indeed huge and filled with various danger zones; Shi Hao even saw a stone statue whose left eye emitted a beam of light that could petrify anything instantly, while the right eye’s beam could restore anything from a petrified state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Shi Hao witnessed a very strange scene — countless spirits moving in a peculiar pattern, inexplicably odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these spirits was even an Immortal King-level creature, but so what? It was still petrified and restored by the beams, utterly stripped of any dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of thing is this stone statue, so terrifying that it can toy with even an Immortal King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supreme Treasure maybe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would a Supreme Treasure be a stone statue? Moreover, if it truly were a Supreme Treasure, why haven’t any of these Immortal Venerables claimed it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Venerables, do they not care about Supreme Treasures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao clearly felt that their speed had slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached this depth, the danger level increased significantly, even requiring caution from the Immortal Venerables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forbidden Land, capable of slaying Immortal Venerables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao nodded; aside from the terrifying stone statue, he didn’t need to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying further, their speed continued to decrease, even nearing a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, the earth was red for ten thousand miles, with only a solitary stalk of grass growing alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao found it odd; the grass was so far away, yet he could see it clearly with just one glance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unremarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked more carefully; the grass looked ordinary, except at the top, there was a tiny flame flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very strange; in this red land of ten thousand miles, if no creature could survive, it wouldn’t be surprising — after all, this was the Forbidden Land, full of countless strange dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was actually a stalk of grass thriving here, making it all the more bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of nine had completely stopped, remaining on the outskirts of the red land, without stepping a foot in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, none of the Immortal Venerables appeared, as if waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, two days, three days, until seven days later, Shi Hao suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the tiny flame at the top of the grass instantly surge upward, as if igniting a firestorm, reaching the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Shi Hao would never have believed that such a stalk of grass could erupt with such fierce flames, with power terrifying enough to reduce even an Immortal King to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shooting skyward, the flames began to spread out in all directions, turning into a world-destroying firestorm, descending upon the red earth of ten thousand miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder no creature survives here. What could endure such a fiery deluge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Nine Stars Immortal Kings face certain death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Forbidden Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao nodded, having entered deeper into the Forbidden Land, he finally understood why this was a no-go zone for all living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This solitary stalk of grass possessed the might of an Immortal Venerable; if it truly confronted an Immortal Venerable, it wouldn’t kill them, but it could undoubtedly cause significant harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this wasn’t even the deepest part of the Forbidden Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Immortal King Ziyue and Selfless Immortal Venerable retreated into the deeper Forbidden Land after sustaining heavy injuries; indeed, Immortal Venerables dare to pursue here, but deeper inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger lurks at every step; they might not catch up before encountering their own demise first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao was thinking when a chilling sensation suddenly surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to look up; through the Little Star Universe he had ’seen’ several stray droplets of fire rain approaching them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, surpassed the region of the red land, even if it was just a tiny bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve overstepped!\" A voice rang out, carrying boundless authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous hand reached out, gigantic and indescribable, entirely entwined with frost, causing the temperature to plummet instantaneously, even making Shi Hao and the others shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Venerable Beimiao had intervened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was easy to discern; once an Immortal Venerable achieved enlightenment, it meant the sixth tier of rules acknowledged them, thus no other Immortal Venerable could traverse the same path — unless this Immortal Venerable was dethroned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As there had been no Immortal Venerable succession, the Water Attribute Immortal Venerable could only be one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Miao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy hand stretched out, immediately restraining the fire rain, but the hand of ice also began to melt, demonstrating the formidable nature of the fire rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrential downpour fell; within the red earth region of ten thousand miles, countless plants unexpectedly sprouted, transforming into a green prairie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We did not forcefully pass through; it’s a gesture of honor not of fear,\" Immortal Venerable Beimiao’s voice continued, \"But if you remain unreasonable, the combined might of us can easily wipe you out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little grass swayed gently, the tiny flame at its top flickered a few times, seemingly expressing its anger, but it soon returned to tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared to have conceded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1234,"2026-06-09T05:59:25.593Z",1,"novelbin.me","a8012a2a87580bbfa3f3bbe01c3b6fd4b24890ff8aff9a979024bfb1576099c6","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1497","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1495",1662,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fasura-emperor-venerable-cover.jpg"]
