Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 795: Skeleton Suppression

Back in the Great Void Realm, wasn’t Venerable Shuanghua also whisked away like that?

No wonder, then.

Asura, the fact that you’ve previously entered the Great Sacrificial Heaven area of the Great Void Realm, what does this tell us?

The opponent possesses the strength of the Great Sacrificial Heaven, even if only comparable to the weakest of the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

However, based on the strike just now, Asura’s power obviously must be of the second sacrifice, otherwise, how could he so easily slap someone of the first sacrifice?

Too terrifying, yet the Supplementing Divine Temple, although its combat power is strong to the point of being abnormal!

The one who was slapped is Kan Haoming, a disciple of the Five Flames Sect, a ten-star power, obviously not a disciple of cultivation; if he were, first, his strength wouldn’t be so weak and second, he wouldn’t speak so aggressively.

The real strong are hard at their core, not just in words.

He stared at Shi Hao, his eyes filled with resentment.

So what if you are Asura, dare to slap my face?

Fine, wait till we enter the passage, let’s see if I can throw you to the Restless Souls, aren’t you a demon? Let’s see how you die then.

Shi Hao saw his resentment and sneered inwardly.

Had you not been so insolent, why would you have been slapped?

Oh, you provoke first and still don’t learn your lesson after being taught, instead, thinking of scheming against others?

Fine, I will indulge you, was just worried about not getting a Soul Crystal.

Xu Zhong then smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, get to know each other, and then prepare to enter the underground passage."

As for Kan Haoming being hit, he really didn’t take it to heart.

Who told you to be insolent, how dare you insult the powerful?

Shi Hao scanned the area and noticed that there were almost no old men present.

It seems that the major powers intentionally wanted the younger generation to come in for trials, hence they didn’t allow the older generation of the Great Sacrificial Heaven from their sects to enter; otherwise, faces of all age groups would be visible.

This is a trivial matter, no need to dwell on it.

After entering the secret realm, everyone naturally had already prepared, so they quickly set off toward the underground passage.

Soon, they arrived at the place.

This was actually in a rear garden, the entrance was extremely hidden.

The group went inside, and after walking for a while, the path ahead suddenly opened up.

This was a large space, also about dozen or so zhang high, and at the end of the space was a huge skeleton blocking the pathway beyond. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"The real entrance is right there!" Xu Zhong pointed at the skeleton.

Shi Hao looked over, the skeleton was huge, currently in a sitting position, but if it stood up, it’s height might be around fifteen zhang, truly astonishing.

Moreover, the skeleton was silver, metallic, emitting a sharp light.

Everyone moved a bit closer and immediately felt, this skeleton emitted a formidable pressure, making their blood feel like it was going to burst open.

So strong!

This person in life must have at least been on the Heaven Connecting Road, otherwise, how could they, even while dead, impose such pressure on the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

Looking through the gaps in the bones, all one could see behind were Restless Souls, though they were in a dormant state, their vast numbers still made one’s scalp tingle.

"This predecessor used his own corpse to block the passage to prevent the Restless Souls from coming out," Xu Zhong said, "In life, this predecessor must have had extraordinarily strong vitality; even in death, the vitality in his bones is still boiling."

Everyone nodded, feeling this clearly.

They could even imagine the scene back then: endless Restless Souls bursting out, the predecessor had no choice but to suppress the exit with his own strength, but human life is limited, and he eventually perished here.

However, he was too strong in life, and even after death, his vitality still soared to the sky, firmly trapping the Restless Souls here.

Because they were trapped here, the Restless Souls could only choose to hibernate to reduce energy loss.

"Brother Xu, you’re not saying that we should remove this predecessor’s skeleton and then fight our way in, are you?" someone asked with a shiver, "Hasn’t it been confirmed that there are Restless Souls at the Ascending to Saint Position level here? If we encounter them, wouldn’t we only meet our deaths in battle?"

Xu Zhong smiled: "Indeed, there are Restless Souls of the Ascending to Saint Position level in the passage, but so much time has passed, their combat power is no longer as great as before."

"How do you know?" everyone was curious. From here, they could only see bits through the skeleton, how did you know there are powerful Restless Souls of Ascending to Saint Position level, let alone know they are not too strong?

"Brother Xu must have already entered the passage before, so he knows all this. And about the news of the Ascending to Saint Position Restless Souls, I believe it also came from Azure Descent Sect, right?" Shi Hao said slowly.

Xu Zhong gave Shi Hao a longer look, then nodded: "Indeed, the Azure Descent Sect discovered this place a long time ago."

Upon reflection, everyone seemed to understand.

The Azure Descent Sect had originally wanted to monopolize the benefits in this secret passage, but because they could not mobilize the entire sect and the required number of Great Sacrificial Heavens was not enough, Xu Zhong was now gathering everyone to combine their strengths and venture into the passage to see what treasures lay hidden inside.

They believed that the wealth of the Ancient Dynastic Court was inside.

However, there was not much for anyone to criticize, after all, in the exploration of ancient relics, who would publicize their findings to share the spoils with others?

It’s just that this bone was too hard, and the Azure Descent Sect couldn’t handle it alone, so they had to share it with everyone.

"The suppression of this entrance is actually by the unfading vital energy of this predecessor; thus, we can completely move this predecessor’s body aside a bit to let us enter, and then move it back to its original place afterward," Xu Zhong continued.

Everyone nodded again, seeing that the Restless Souls were still trapped inside the passage, which confirmed that Xu Zhong’s words were not deceptive; otherwise, if Xu Zhong and others had already gone inside once, all the Restless Souls would have already burst out.

Hey, were the few Restless Souls that were previously discovered the ones that followed Xu Zhong and the others running out?

"There is no time to delay, gentlemen, let’s each take our positions," Xu Zhong added another phrase, "Life and death are predestined, fortune is sought amidst risks, perhaps, after this, each of us may have the potential to reach the Absolute Summit."

Absolute Summit!

Hearing this term, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Reaching the Heaven Building Ladder does not mean one can enter the Immortal Realm; only by reaching the Absolute Summit can one open the passage between mortals and immortals, thereby ascending.

This meant stronger powers, longer life spans—what martial artist wouldn’t yearn for that?

Honestly, among those here today, only Asura was certain to achieve the Absolute Summit.

Good, fortune is sought amidst risks!

"Let’s go!"

Xu Zhong took out a lasso and threw it from a distance, perfectly looping it around the silver skeleton’s neck—naturally, accuracy was nothing for a Great Sacrificial Heaven.

Then, he pulled, and the silver skeleton immediately tilted to the side, revealing an entrance.

"Quick, while the Restless Souls are still asleep," Xu Zhong shouted loudly.

Instantly, everyone dashed out, whizzing by as they slipped past the silver skeleton into the passage.

—Although the vital energy of the skeleton was strong, it was mostly targeted against Restless Souls; they only felt as if their skins were about to tear apart, but it was not fatal.
