Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 375: Merging Flames

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Merging Flames

This purple-red flame was actually born on a stalk of Sungrass.

Shi Hao was amazed, could plants also generate Spiritual Fire?

But then again, Sungrass does grow by absorbing the power of flames. The older it gets, the more potent its effects become, even becoming a treasure for the cultivation of Fire Attribute martial artists.

And what if a stalk of Sungrass lived too long, gathering an astonishing amount of fiery power and undergoing a qualitative transformation?

Is that what I’m seeing now?

Shi Hao approached slowly, no longer daring to move quickly.

Whoosh, the flames flared up, transforming into the shapes of swords, spears, and halberds, slashing towards him.

The might of the main flame was indeed terrifying.

Shi Hao did not punch but waved his soul, executing the Dark Thrust Sword, clashing with these fiery weapons.

It looked quite stylish, his stride forward with his hands clasped behind him, but the incoming fiery weapons were successively extinguished. Don’t be too showy.

Unfortunately, there were no bystanders here; his showiness was unseen.

Within a few steps, Shi Hao had reached the front of the main flame.

This stalk of Sungrass was truly astonishingly large.

Ordinary Sungrass was only about a palm high, but this one?

Three feet!

If Shi Hao wasn’t so confident in his knowledge of herbs, he would definitely doubt if he was seeing things.

The cluster of purple-red flames seemed like a flower blooming from the Sungrass, gently fluttering.

Shi Hao reached out, but the might of the flames surged and forcefully repelled him.

He gritted his teeth, the might of these flames was indeed fearsome.

What to do, since this isn’t an enemy, he couldn’t use his ultimate move to extinguish it.

So, he could only defend.

The problem was, even an Elemental Shield couldn’t hold up here.

Shi Hao estimated that only after advancing into Self-Observation would the strength of the Elemental Shield be sufficient to withstand such flames.

What to do, should he wait until he had mastered Self-Observation to come back?

Of course not, Shi Hao thought, activating the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, wrapping himself in blooming lotuses.

Come on!

He stepped forward, and as the flames attacked, a lotus immediately blossomed, blocking the might of the flames.

"Come at me!"

Shi Hao reached out to pluck the flowers, but he only managed to pluck a tiny bit.

What he needed was not this ball of flames, but the profound essence within it, chasing the origin.

Fire Scorches the Heavens immediately activated, and Shi Hao began to strip away the fire bit by bit, revealing its essence.

Boom!

The fire retaliated immediately. The laws involving the essence of the world would not let their secrets be easily revealed.

But it was futile, Shi Hao was protected by the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, the flames could not harm him, only call out in vain.

"Let’s call this Sunfire then."

Shi Hao named this main flame, since it was generated by the Sungrass, the name seemed quite fitting.

Soon, he peeled away a rune, but due to some inevitable errors in the process, this rune was still incomplete, missing a part.

Shi Hao was not in a hurry, he reached out and plucked another thread.

Before long, a second rune appeared, verifying the first, with only a tinge of the part missing now.

Once more.

When the third rune appeared, Shi Hao was finally able to piece together a complete rune.

Good, fuse.

Shi Hao moved into the second phase, fusing the Mortal Fire Rune with the Sunfire Rune.

Actually, this wasn’t about truly merging the two runes together, but rather about stacking their powers, even magnifying them in an exaggerated manner. The more there were, the more astonishing the amplification multiplier became.

Since the Mortal Fire Rune was overly simple, it was easily embedded onto the Sunfire Rune, allowing the two to form a perfect fit.

This was indeed simple, but if Shi Hao were to obtain a clump of Spiritual Fire, the situation would be entirely different. Trying to fuse two clumps of Spirit Fire Rune perfectly would be astonishingly difficult.

By now, nine lotuses had fully bloomed and then completely shattered. Shi Hao hurriedly retreated; he couldn’t withstand the authority of the primary flame anymore.

No matter, the Sunfire Rune was already his, and he no longer needed the primary flame.

—He had originally planned that if he couldn’t accomplish it in one go, he would first withdraw to recover, and once he could use the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique again, he would return.

Unexpectedly, the progress was surprisingly smooth.

Hmm?

He hadn’t gone far when he sensed a strong intent to kill approaching him.

In front of him, an old man appeared, his gaze fixed on him, brimming with murderous intent.

"Shi Hao?" The old man spoke, his voice raspy.

Shi Hao kept his composure, the other party obviously meant no good, and he didn’t need to be polite.

He extended his Soul Tentacles, and the distance was just enough to reach where the old man stood. He sensed for a moment, and couldn’t help but be startled.

Founding King Court!

In front of such a master, even if he used the Cloud Piercing Step, he wouldn’t be able to escape. Moreover, the place was aflame, incredibly bright, and not suitable for using the Light Element to ambush someone, so the situation was extremely bad.

His mind quickly turned, it was clear that the other party was here for him, and the only one from the Founding King Court who harbored such hatred toward him...

Luo Hun.

He arrived quite quickly.

"Luo Hun?" he asked, while simultaneously communicating with Yue Ying, "Hey, hey, hey, how strong could my combat power be if you lend me your strength?"

"That depends on your endurance," Yue Ying said excitedly. "With your current physical strength, if I gave you the power of Great Sacrificial Heaven or higher, your body would burst and you would die after releasing one move. If it’s from the Supplementing Divine Temple, you could last until the power ran out, then gradually tear apart. Founding King Court, you would survive maimed. Self-Observation, you could fully withstand that, but oh, that’s too boring, I’d be too lazy to lend you that."

"You have to think carefully, I have to suppress myself to avoid blowing your Soul Sea apart, so I can only lend you power once, after all, it’s been a long time since I have last refilled... energy."

An Artifact Spirit that doesn’t plan to inadvertently kill its master isn’t a good Artifact Spirit?

Shi Hao sighed and said, "Wait, lend me the power from the Supplementing Divine Temple."

Yue Ying was thrilled, "Do you really want to die? Such a good person!"

Shi Hao rolled his eyes, "You want me dead? Don’t even dream about it."

"Indeed smart, you guessed my identity immediately," Luo Hun said proudly, "Since that’s the case, you should understand why I have come for you."

Shi Hao shook his head. "I just didn’t expect you to rush over so quickly to meet your death."

Luo Hun chuckled, "I must say, you have quite the nerve! It’s a pity though, had you chosen to submit to me in the past, I would have supported you as a disciple of the Purple Star Sect."

After all, being a disciple was just a title, and Luo Jian would not miss out on actual benefits.

"But now, having killed my grandson, you only have one path left—death!" he said grimly.

Shi Hao shook his head, "Old man, did you not hear what I said?"

"What?" Luo Hun was startled.

"I just said, you are here to deliver your own death!" Shi Hao emphasized.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha!" Luo Hun burst into laughter, finding it a hilariously grand joke.

"Young man, have you lost your mind?"
