Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Crossing the Sea of Suffering

All the people here were called by Luo Ping and his son.

Why?

To expose Shi Hao’s lies, the man clearly claimed to be from the Other Shore Realm but pretended to be in the Soul Nurturing stage. Naturally, they wanted everyone to see Shi Hao’s true colors! However, the fact now was that Shi Hao really was at the Soul Nurturing stage!

Luo Ping and his son felt their faces burning, as if they were being slapped repeatedly.

Whose joke were they watching?

Their own!

Who could have thought that such a monster existed in the world, one who actually turned the tables and let everyone witness his awesomeness.

Truly awesome, indeed, fighting against the Nine Islands in nine steps, not only holding his ground but even leaving Luo Jian slightly wounded.

Just ask, what more could you want?

Awesome, so awesome that it breaks through the heavens!

Luo Jian was also stunned beyond belief. He had been so certain that Shi Hao was from the Other Shore Realm, only to find out that this guy was actually in the Soul Nurturing stage, as if slapping him in the face.

But he couldn’t care about the pain, only feeling shocked by Shi Hao’s monstrous abilities.

You should know that he had never heard of any genius capable of fighting across an entire realm, and Shi Hao didn’t just cross one major realm, he casually crossed several minor ones as well!

What’s even more terrifying?

Clearly, Shi Hao’s direct combat ability was far inferior to his, yet through various means, he managed to stand on equal footing with him and even inflicted a light wound.

Just how should we measure this guy’s combat power?

Never before has such an aberration been seen!

But after the shock, murderous intent filled Luo Jian’s heart.

How could he allow such a top-tier genius to live?

First of all, his jealousy was something he could not tolerate, and secondly, having offended such a talent, if he didn’t eliminate him early on, should he wait for the other party to seek revenge later?

Kill!

Eventually, Luo Jian took out his weapon, a silver spear materialized out of thin air, in three sections, which he quickly assembled, and then with a flick, a rune on the spear’s body flickered. As he thrust it out, it was cold to the bone.

Shi Hao immediately felt his blood flow noticeably slowing down, his entire body stiff, as if he couldn’t even move a single finger.

What a terrifying Spiritual Artifact!

He activated the Fire Element, resisting the extreme cold. Retreating, he always kept a certain distance from Luo Jian, while focusing more of his mind on breaking through to the Other Shore.

What is Other Shore?

Soul traversing the Sea of Suffering, in the process, constantly honing it to become strong and resilient until there is no further progress, that is the endpoint of the Other Shore.

Therefore, a thousand people have a thousand kinds of Other Shores, none will be the same.

What’s common is that in the process of crossing the Other Shore, the Soul Seed can rest nine times, each rest forming an island in the Sea of Suffering, hence, the Nine Islands are the end of the Other Shore Realm.

For Shi Hao, the first step was to lift the Soul Seed out of the Soul Sea.

This was the most rudimentary step, achieved in one go.

Next, it was time to turn the Soul Sea into the Sea of Suffering.

The Soul Sea can nurture the soul, but once it becomes the Sea of Suffering, for the Soul Seed it’s Purgatory, scorching the soul if touched, with immense destructive power.

Therefore, when the Soul Seed traverses the Sea of Suffering and truly can no longer hold on, it must stop and form a Soul Island for shelter.

Once a Soul Island is formed, the Sea of Suffering will expand outward from the island as the center.

For Martial Artists, the larger the Sea of Suffering carved out in the Other Shore Realm, the more Soul Power the Sea of Suffering can contain after reverting back to the Soul Sea, thus the further the Soul Seed can traverse the sea, the stronger and more potential the Martial Artist will have.

Evolve!

Shi Hao instinctively performed the Cloud Piercing Step, moving at an amazing speed, letting Luo Jian’s attacks pass by while guiding the evolution of the Soul Sea into the Sea of Suffering.

Boom, the Soul Sea thundered, transforming into the Sea of Suffering at an incredibly fast pace.

Shi Hao looked inward and saw the Sea of Suffering rising and falling, emitting an indescribable aura.

He didn’t know what it was, but understood that it was extremely harmful to the Soul Seed and must not be touched.

Good, cross the sea!

Shi Hao activated his Soul Seed, not discerning any particular direction but simply moving forward.

It didn’t matter anyway. In any direction, it was all the same. He was now at the center of the Sea of Suffering and needed only to continue straight ahead.

Dudu dudu!

The Soul Seed Puppet sped along quickly, for this was a Soul Body, which, in theory, wasn’t bound by physical limits. However, the Sea of Suffering wasn’t a space in reality; otherwise, one flight would have meant leaving the Sea of Suffering behind.

Shi Hao discovered that the aura emanating within the Sea of Suffering severely affected the Soul Seed, making it almost immediately plunge downward.

That absolutely wouldn’t do.

He had only flown a short distance. If he stopped now to construct a Soul Island, how much of the Sea of Suffering would he have truly opened up?

Come!

Shi Hao’s tenacity was terrifying. He drove the Soul Seed forward, while on the other hand, he threw continuous punches, meeting Luo Jian head-on.

At this point, all he needed to do was grit his teeth and persist; he no longer needed to divide his attention.

You, just be my whetstone.

Shi Hao laughed heartily, charging at Luo Jian with a barrage, using such a powerful opponent to pressure himself to unleash his full potential.

As the Soul Seed soared across, the Sea of Suffering remained unchanged, with only the surging waves that seemed ready at any moment to rise in a gigantic swell and smack the Soul Seed down.

So tired.

Shi Hao felt the fatigue of the Soul Seed, but he had no intentions of stopping. Instead, he continued to drive the Soul Seed forward.

What was his motivation?

The opponent in front of him!

Charge! Charge! Charge!

Shi Hao clenched his teeth, the aura emitting from his body growing increasingly powerful, with a hint of wildness. His Saber Intent erupted, causing everyone’s weapons to tremble violently as if they were surrendering and worshipping him.

"Hiss, judging from his aura, he must have begun to traverse the Sea of Suffering."

"Right, there’s already an aura of the Other Shore Realm."

"But why hasn’t he finished his breakthrough yet?"

"Indeed, my Soul Seed crossed the sea in just three breaths."/p>

"I was a bit longer, three and a half."

"I took five!"

"I heard that when Luo Jian broke through to the Other Shore, his Soul Seed crossed the sea in ten breaths!"

"Sword Body lasted twelve breaths!"

"But... this guy has gone for more than twenty breaths now!"

Everyone started off with buzzing discussions, but as Shi Hao continued to hammer away without ending his assault, the onlookers’ shock grew, their expressions ghostly.

How far had Shi Hao’s single breath taken the Soul Seed?

Even if he stopped now, he would have already far surpassed an ordinary Other Shore Realm by several times, and what was terrifying was that he had no intention of stopping!

Thirty breaths!

Forty breaths!

By now, the onlookers could clearly see beads of sweat as large as beans dropping from Shi Hao’s forehead, his entire body trembling slightly, nearly getting hit by Luo Jian in the process. Clearly, he was also reaching his limit.

But forty breaths, that was terrifying.

Whoosh!

Shi Hao exhaled deeply, his eyes shining brilliantly. He squeezed out his potential once more, and the Soul Seed continued its journey across the sea!

Fifty breaths!

Sixty breaths!

Heaven, heaven, heaven.

All were stunned, regarding Shi Hao as a complete monster in their hearts.
