Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 377: Death

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Death

Shi Hao had endured endless suffering.

All the bones in his body had shattered, and without the protection of his bones, his organs were subjected to intense compression and developed cracks.

Had it not been for the formidable resilience of his physique, his organs would likely have completely burst.

Of course, another reason was the Deadly Escape Pill, which could preserve a sliver of life force when one was on the brink of death.

This was truly just a sliver of life force, and Shi Hao found himself on the verge of death, feeling death so close that it could snatch his life at any moment.

In such moments, he overcame his fear of death and began to cultivate the Nine Deaths Heavenly Technique.

The cultivation techniques that once were incomprehensible now seemed a bit clearer, but still as distant as the horizon, hard to truly master.

After all, this was the ultimate inheritance, as described by Yue Ying.

With nothing else he could do, Shi Hao devoted himself to studying this cultivation technique.

Enlightenments blossomed, bringing him moments of sudden clarity.

This kind of enlightenment, only to be had at the edge of death, was utterly beyond the grasp of ordinary people—no matter how talented or advanced in cultivation they might be.

The Nine Deaths Heavenly Technique enabled grasp of a part of the Undying Mystery with each "death," and after nine deaths, one almost attained an Undying Body.

How extreme was this?

No matter the wound, all could heal instantly, nearly indefensible.

Even for cultivators of the Sky Ladder Realm, a severed arm meant a permanent loss, never to regenerate, but it was different with the Nine Deaths Heavenly Technique. Even if it were just an arm lost, or only a single hair remained, one could still regenerate from it.

Thus, it was almost indestructible!

Of course, to reach such an extreme state, one first had to cultivate to the brink of nine deaths, and secondly, if one were pulverized completely, body and spirit, then revival was still impossible.

It was hard to know how much time had passed when Shi Hao discovered that his body had begun to heal.

Once he noticed this sign, he found himself immediately exiting the state of comprehending the Nine Deaths Heavenly Technique.

No matter, he had already mastered the first level of the technique.

He drove the operation of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Technique which, though named "death," actually brought bursting vitality once one passed through the ordeal of death.

Boom, his battered body burst with robust vitality, his broken bones reconnecting bit by bit, and his flesh also regenerating.

Next came a lengthy recovery period, during which Shi Hao’s physique also underwent a qualitative transformation.

...

"Big Sister, what’s so good about coming to the Undead Valley?"

Outside the Undead Valley, two women hurried along, one appearing to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, incredibly cold and mature, exuding a strong woman vibe, while the other was a girl of seventeen or eighteen, equally stunning, but exceedingly naive and contrasting sharply with her mature counterpart.

"It’s Master’s two hundredth birthday, and I plan to pick a hundred-year-old Sungrass for the old lady," said the cold and mature woman, her expression still frosty.

The naïve girl exclaimed, "A hundred-year Sungrass! That’s something one can only hope for but rarely find. By the time we find it, Master’s bust might have sagged to her knees!"

If an outsider had been present, they would have found such an outrageous comparison coming from such a naïve girl to be utterly incredulous.

The cold and mature woman sighed. Despite her junior sister’s innocent demeanor, her frequent consumption of certain novels led her to make such remarks unexpectedly, catching people off guard—not only was her older sister annoyed by it, but even their master felt the same.

—Why were their personalities so different when they were all brought up the same way from childhood?

"As long as we put our hearts into it, we will definitely reap rewards!" the cold and mature woman said, clenching her fist so hard it made her chest heave.

The naïve girl couldn’t help but look envious: "Big Sister, although you have large breasts, you don’t have to show them off to me, do you?"

Me!

The glamorous sister strongly resisted the urge to draw her sword and said coldly, "Let’s go!"

"Oh!" The naive girl nodded.

"Huh?" They had only taken a few steps when the glamorous sister suddenly stopped and looked to the side.

"What’s up, what’s up? Did you find something? Is someone having a tryst?" The naive girl was full of curiosity and then shook her head, "This place is so desolate, surely no one would come here for that, right?"

The glamorous sister felt another urge to kill; she decided to ignore this clearly misguided junior sister and strode off to the side.

Suddenly, they saw a mound rising from the ground in front of them, resembling a grave.

"Could there be some treasure?" The naive girl’s thoughts jumped, "Big sister, is there some treasure about to appear here?"

"Let’s dig and check." The glamorous sister nodded.

"Argh!" Just as the two were about to start digging, a low roar came from behind them, causing their eardrums to ache.

Turning around, they saw, without knowing when it had appeared, a small black cat, just a foot long.

Was that low growl really emitted by it?

It was hard to imagine that such a small thing could produce such a loud sound.

"So cute!" The naive girl’s eyes lit up, "Should we steam or braise it?" She licked her lips, seemingly drooling.

It’s so cute, and all you can think about is eating it?

The glamorous sister felt another urge to act. This adorable little creature instantly made her feel a surge of affection, making her want to hold it tight.

"Argh!" The little black cat roared again, but this time, its body suddenly grew, transforming into a giant black panther standing three zhang tall, instantly imposing and awe-inspiring.

"Now it’s enough for several meals!" The naive girl exclaimed excitedly.

The face of the glamorous sister changed, and she burst out, "That’s a Dark Patterned Leopard!"

"What’s a Dark Patterned Leopard?" The naive girl looked confused.

"An adult Dark Patterned Leopard is at least at the level of the Five Islands!" The glamorous sister said shakily.

"Is, is this one an adult or not?" The naive girl nearly started crying.

"Adult!" The glamorous sister said calmly as she rapidly thought of a way out.

"We’re doomed!" The naive girl immediately burst into tears, "I don’t want to die! And definitely not as a virgin! Wuu wuu wuu!"

My god!

The glamorous sister almost lost her cool, just because you’re a virgin?

Wait, is that the point?

The glamorous sister couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on, dealing with this junior sister always led her astray.

"Oh heavens, grant me a man, let me say goodbye to virginity before I die!" The naive girl clasped her hands together and spoke to the sky.

Bang!

Just then, a hand suddenly emerged from the raised mound of dirt.

"Mommy!" The naive girl jumped in fright, "I asked for a man, not a ghost!"

This time, the glamorous sister didn’t bother with her junior sister anymore. With a swoosh, she drew her sword from her waist.

Bring it on!
