Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 800 Decryption

After shaking off Mo Zhiyuan, Shi Hao entered the Immortal Abode.

Nothing was more urgent and important than saving a life.

"Are all the ingredients ready?" Shi Feng asked.

"Yes," Shi Hao nodded, unable to hide his joy.

The father and son started preparing the medicine together, while the Purple Gold Rat watched, occasionally directing them. This was also a form of vanity; look, Little Stone, no matter how impressive you are, you still have to follow my commands!

In just half a day, the medicine was ready.

Shi Hao ate it himself first, then fed it to Weng Nanqing.

After she had consumed the entire bowl of medicine and waited a while, Weng Nanqing’s delicate body began to glow.

Boom, a surge of momentum erupted, terrifyingly powerful.

"Your wife is really lucky this time," the Purple Gold Rat said. "That bowl of medicine is full of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Having absorbed it all, she is sure to reach the pinnacle of the Supplementing Divine Temple."

"If her understanding of martial arts is sufficient, she might even be ready to challenge Great Sacrificial Heaven."

"Moreover, her physique might change because of this. After all, she was nearly dead from the damage caused by the Green Wood Technique, and now she is being reborn from the brink of death, refined by so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Her physique is bound to change."

Shi Hao was not excited by this stroke of luck, which he didn’t want. He would prefer to have fewer of these "surprises" in the future.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Weng Nanqing continuously emitted powerful fluctuations, her Life Force robust, without the previous signs of weakness.

"Her body is being transformed by the medicinal power. She won’t wake up anytime soon. Looking at this, it will take at least three to five days to complete."

"Little Stone, let’s go outside,"

the Purple Gold Rat suggested.

Shi Hao nodded. He was curious about what the Ancient Dynastic Court was up to, establishing an altar for unknown purposes.

He exited the Immortal Abode and headed deep underground.

Now he had no concerns, needing only to keep moving forward.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

One Restless Soul after another exploded, Shi Hao unstoppable.

The joint forces of the major ten-star powers were of no use. There were too many Restless Souls, and they could only make it to the ninth layer before they could no longer advance.

To move forward was to risk total annihilation.

Therefore, they cooperated and adopted a steady and strategic defense, fortifying just the exit of the passage, allowing the Restless Souls to charge while they conserved energy. The narrow passage meant only a few people were needed to form a stable defensive line.

As Shi Hao advanced, he found the place deserted.

He unleashed the might of his Physical Power, slaying Restless Souls like cutting down weeds.

The tenth layer, the eleventh layer, the twelfth layer—finally, Shi Hao made it to the eighteenth layer.

However, when he walked out of the passage, he found the place eerily empty.

Although there was still a huge square, there was no altar, just a damaged structure resembling a Teleportation Array.

Even if it was a Teleportation Array, it was severely damaged, beyond further use.

However, there was a person fixing it, with their back to Shi Hao.

Even so, Shi Hao recognized the person’s identity at a glance.

Xu Zhong.

How can it be him?

Speaking of strength, Xu Zhong was indeed strong, with the cultivation of the third sacrifice, and his combat power had even reached the level of the fourth sacrifice. Yet, if three or four at the third sacrifice collaborated, they could completely match his standard. So why was it that he alone arrived here?

As everyone knows, the rest could at most fight their way to the ninth level, and the gap was certainly not small.

"Asura?" Xu Zhong was also startled, not expecting anyone to appear here, and even less so someone who should have already been dead.

But he immediately showed a smile, shook his head, and said, "After all, you are the first in ten thousand years. I said, how could you possibly die so easily!"

Shi Hao also smiled, saying, "Brother Xu, aren’t you going to explain?"

"Heh heh, first prove that you have the qualifications!" Xu Zhong leaped out, assaulting Shi Hao.

Shi Hao met the attack, the Primordial Scripture investigated everything, his domain opened up, perceiving all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xu Zhong struck continuously, but Shi Hao dissolved each attack. Nevertheless, since he was of the fourth sacrifice in combat power, Shi Hao could not best him. Although he dissolved the attacks, he exhausted his full strength, appearing very strained.

The disparity in combat power between the third sacrifice and the fourth sacrifice was still quite evident.

However, this confrontation made Xu Zhong recognize Shi Hao’s strength.

——To kill Shi Hao, he would have to expend a tremendous amount of energy and time, and what he lacked right now was time.

"Alright, you are qualified to know the truth." Xu Zhong nodded, "The matter dates back many years, when this Ancient Dynastic Court was known as Fengdu. Although it had Sky Ladder experts seated, it was not at the Absolute Summit.

"In pursuit of greater strength, the Emperor of Fengdu Nation utilized all manner of methods, and in a chance occurrence, he made contact with the Demon Emperor."

"The Demon Emperor?" Shi Hao interjected.

Xu Zhong nodded, "The Demon Emperor, His Excellency, whose power is aligned with the natural order and does not abide by the Five Elements, even transcending the Immortal Realm, is a supreme being! But exactly because the patriarch is too strong, he is unable to arrive anywhere."

"In order to obtain the power of the great Demon Emperor, the Emperor of Fengdu established this massive underground sacrificial altar, sacrificing the souls of the entire Imperial Capital as a tribute to usher in the arrival of the Demon Lord’s subordinates."

"However, during this process, someone interfered, forcefully interrupting the sacrifice, leading to an unpredictable and terrible outcome; the Imperial Capital sank into the earth, and the Fengdu Emperor died from the backlash."

"That troublemaker used himself as a barrier, sealing the passage through which the subordinates of the Demon Emperor could leave. From then on, the Fengdu Imperial Capital was buried underground, never to see daylight again."

These so-called subordinates of the Demon Lord are clearly restless souls.

Shi Hao frowned, "Then your current actions—are you repairing the teleportation gate to continue ushering in restless souls?"

Xu Zhong looked at Shi Hao and said, "Do you know, by establishing just one passageway, there’s no need for the Demon Emperor himself to come. Only a few of His powerful subordinates arriving would be enough to sweep the entire Immortal Realm!"

"So what if one becomes immortal?"

"Immortals too are subject to lifespan limitations and will decay with the dust!"

"Only by pledging allegiance to the Demon Emperor can one exchange for immortality!"

"If you don’t believe it, look at those restless souls above. How many years have passed, and which of them has died?"

"And what is their cultivation level?"

"Asura, you are an intelligent man. How about it, work with me, let’s together usher in the subordinates of the great Demon Emperor. This would be a tremendous achievement!"

Shi Hao’s expression was cold, "Your so-called ’immortality,’ is it just like those restless souls? Without intelligence, without humanity, knowing only slaughter?"

Xu Zhong sneered, "That is the most basic type of restless soul, but we who follow the Demon Emperor, how could we possibly lack wisdom? We seek power, and besides, why should we care about our own form?"

"Asura, don’t be so naive!"

Shi Hao shook his head, "If you had been to the Ancient World, you would know, restless souls only know destruction, they are extremely evil. If we let them rule this world, then what difference would there be with Purgatory?"

"Then, we have nothing more to discuss!" Xu Zhong declared, the killing intent rising fiercely.
