Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 415: Net of Rules

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Net of Rules

Shi Hao sat cross-legged, his hands deftly weaving as lines of light intertwined to form a net.

He abruptly opened his eyes, revealing a smile at the corners of his mouth.

This was the Net of Rules, used not only for defense to block incoming attacks, but also as an offensive weapon that could slice a person into pieces.

He had actually mastered the rules!

One must know, even though Self-Observation had stepped onto the path of the rules, mastery of the rules was something that started with the Supplementing Divine Temple.

And now he had mastered it!

Of course, it was only a tiny fraction, but qualitatively, he had already surpassed Self-Observation.

However, he concealed it well; the net only flashed briefly in the palm of his hand, and he was faced away from the people outside. He had no intention of proclaiming this to the world.

He stood up and looked behind him, showing a hint of hesitation.

Should he continue traversing the remaining Light Bridges?

The Five Elements Spirit Root was monstrous indeed, but it had "a history." However, if he were to traverse all three hundred Light Bridges, that would be a different matter.

A person in the world possessing a Spirit Root of all attributes?

This was no longer monstrous, but absolutely abnormal, and would certainly attract the strong to capture him, dissecting him bit by bit for study.

Therefore, Shi Hao forcefully suppressed the impulse to traverse all the Light Bridges and strode forward decisively.

Excess is as bad as deficiency; after all, he still did not possess absolute self-preservation capacity. Otherwise, I would do as I please, would I need to care about others?

This time, his speed was naturally swift; he quickly crossed the Light Bridge and arrived at the other side.

He didn’t even take a proper look at the scenery here.

In terms of absolute distance, this should still be within the city, but the scene was completely different.

It was a plain, where shallow grass barely hid the hoof prints, with not a tree in sight.

In the sky, there was a huge Sun, incredibly close to the ground, looking exceptionally large.

He focused his gaze, this was not the Sun, but a giant glowing stone.

Huh, a glowing Stone?

If Shi Hao could fly, he would definitely fly up to this "Sun" to see what it was all about. Unfortunately, that was just a dream.

Could there be treasures here?

Shi Hao took out the Spirit Exploration Compass, looked at it, and found nothing, utterly empty.

"It’s really clean!" Shi Hao shook his head.

However, not seeing any glowing dots now didn’t mean there were no treasures; after all, the detection range of the Spirit Exploration Compass was only about three miles at best.

Shi Hao moved on, holding the Spirit Exploration Compass in his hand and occasionally pulling it out to take a look.

"How do I discern direction in such a vast territory, especially when the Sun turns out to be a glowing stone?"

In the outside world, through changes in the Sun or magnetism, Martial Artists could easily differentiate directions. But here it was different; if you closed your eyes and spun around a few times, you would instantly lose your sense of direction.

—All around was green grass, without any landmarks, how could one recognize the direction?

There was no choice but to keep moving forward.

After walking for half a day, the surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness.

The change was too abrupt.

If the Sun were setting, it would be a gradual process, but here it was different, like being in a pitch-black room where someone suddenly blew out a candle, the transition was incredibly sudden.

All around, you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

With a thought, Shi Hao surrounded himself with the Light Element, which then lit up, brightly illuminating a large area nearby.

"However, this makes me an easy target!"

Shi Hao continued for a while, when suddenly he heard footsteps!

He immediately stopped, but the footsteps continued, moving towards his direction.

He stood still, and after a short while, he saw thirteen wolves appear.

What was strange was that the wolves were also green in color, the same as the grass, making their camouflage incredibly effective.

What breed of wolf is this?

Shi Hao could not recognize it; he had never seen one before, and even within Yuan Chengmie’s memories, he could not find any corresponding information.

"Awooo!" The leading wolf issued a command, and the remaining twelve wolves immediately lunged at Shi Hao to kill him.

With this movement, Shi Hao was able to immediately assess their strength.

—They were merely of the Other Shore Realm, varying from the Third Island to the Ninth Island.

Let’s try out the newly learned skills.

Shi Hao waved the Five Elements Rules, opening them up in front of him like a giant net.

One wolf had already taken the lead in pouncing, its eyes hungry for the vigorous vital energy radiating from the human before it.

However, it failed to see the Net of Rules.

The concept of rules was something that even adepts at Self-Observation had only just begun to touch upon; truly beginning to understand and master those rules was a matter reserved for after reaching the Founding King Court.

So, how could a mere Ferocious Wolf from the Five Islands possibly see the Net of Rules?

It crashed headfirst into the Net of Rules and then... it was sliced into innumerable pieces, falling from the sky.

Instant kill!

Shi Hao grimaced, for in the Other Shore, rules were the ultimate divine weapon; no matter how powerful your physical body, it stood no chance against them, its only fate was to be sliced into scraps.

The key point was that even a Self-Observation master might not be able to see this "net".

"What a sneaky treasure!"

Shi Hao’s eyes gleamed with excitement. A martial artist must of course be brave, daring to face danger, but that didn’t mean one should blindly collide head-on with every strong enemy encountered.

At least Shi Hao was not that reckless.

"Awooo!" As he was lost in thought, the other Ferocious Wolves had also pounced at him.

Mere Other Shore.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, although he was only at the Seven Islands level, what beings of the Other Shore Realm could possibly be his opponents?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He swung his fists casually, instantly killing four more Ferocious Wolves.

This might sound like a lengthy process, but in reality, from the killing of the first wolf to the subsequent four punches that took down four more, it was done in just the blink of an eye.

Hence, the pack leader had no time to react and could only watch powerlessly as its subordinates were killed.

But in the next instant, it lunged forward with a speed as fast as lightning.

Self-Observation!

Shi Hao immediately made a judgment in his heart, it must be of the First or Second Phase level.

He was not afraid.

Let alone his ability to move faster than many Self-Observation experts using the Cloud Piercing Step, he had even killed a Self-Observation expert before.

Come!

Shi Hao did not employ Fire Scorches the Heavens; he couldn’t always rely on his trump cards when facing a strong opponent, as it wouldn’t be conducive to his growth.

—This would certainly amuse anyone who found out.

This was no trivial foe, but a Self-Observation expert!

A Self-Observation expert, for goodness’ sake, an entire major realm above you!

Who wouldn’t run when facing an opponent a whole realm stronger? If caught, wouldn’t you throw out every powerful move you have, rather than take them to the grave?

Yet Shi Hao was far too composed.

No helping it, real strength brings real confidence.

He moved backwards and then stretched out the Net of Rules; it could exist for a very short time once separated from him.

Truly very short, just for the duration of a breath, but considering the speed of a Self-Observation expert, how far could one travel within the span of a single breath?

As Shi Hao stepped back, the pack leader had already charged headlong into it.
