Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Second in History

However, Xu Yun had no leisure to ponder this question.

Shi Hao’s fist had already come flying.

Xu Yun could only gather his strength in his chest and summon a great amount of Elemental Power.

In that instant, he had calmed down and made his analysis and judgment.

He planned to immediately swing his sword at Shi Hao after blocking this punch.

He was confident he could block Shi Hao’s punch, so the next moment would be his chance to counterattack.

——He had used a powerful move, his strength and soul intensity had surged significantly, so he was confident he could block Shi Hao’s attack with minimal cost, and his attack—ha, the two of them were so close, how would Shi Hao block it?

It must be known that although Shi Hao had been suppressing him in the fight, it was not because the opponent’s strength was greater than his, but because that guy possessed a perverse level of judgment.

Bang!

Shi Hao’s fist had already landed, colliding with the Net of Rules and Xu Yun’s protective strength.

In Xu Yun’s view, his strength was still superior to Shi Hao’s, and since he also called upon the full force of the Elemental Power, he believed he could easily block a punch from a mere flesh and blood body.

——You might have a weapon, perhaps an extremely powerful Spiritual Artifact, and I have to consider that factor.

You’re dead!

He was ready to counter, but only felt a pain in his chest, then his whole body flew backward.

Was the opponent’s strength that great?

No, no, no, no, it wasn’t that Shi Hao’s strength was overwhelmingly invincible, but rather his own power was rapidly falling, like a punctured water balloon, everything draining away completely.

Looking down, he was shocked to discover a hole in his chest.

It had been violently created by Shi Hao.

How could this be?

His strength was still above Shi Hao’s, yet his full defense was still obliterated in one strike, how could he accept this?

However, having already used his powerful move which greatly drained his Vital Energy, how could he withstand such a devastating hit?

"You—" He pointed at Shi Hao, but only managed to utter one word as a great deal of vital essence was already gushing from the wound in his chest, and he only saw darkness before him as he lost consciousness forever.

One of the top talents of the Western Rock Continent had died so pathetically, not even knowing the name of his killer.

Was he not strong enough?

No, it was Shi Hao who was stronger!

All eyes were on Shi Hao, and several powerhouses from the Supplementing Divine Temple who had specifically stayed behind were watching him with intense interest. This was a talent worth cultivating!

They lingered here precisely to find such talents, didn’t they?

However, they didn’t rush forward to recruit Shi Hao right away, but waited to see Shi Hao’s ranking on the Eternal Stone to decide what offer to make.

Of course, if one’s name could be inscribed on the Eternal Stone, there was no need for it to be in the overall historical ranking; just being on the list of this session would warrant them spending a great deal to recruit.

Shi Hao glanced at Xu Yun’s corpse, then did not look further.

As he said before, as long as their realms were comparable, killing Xu Yun was like slaughtering a chicken—now, even though he was still a major realm lower, who made him break through the Ten Islands, develop his domain, and possess a perverse level move like the Net of Rules?

He walked towards the Eternal Stone.

Instantly, everyone was filled with curiosity.

No one doubted that Shi Hao couldn’t make it onto the list; they wanted to know how high Shi Hao could climb.

Top ten? Top three? Or even first?

Shi Hao stopped, thought for a moment, and threw a punch at the Eternal Stone.

Without using any big moves, just a simple punch.

Bang!

With that hit, a hole instantly appeared on the Eternal Stone, almost allowing Shi Hao’s entire hand to disappear into it.

Sputter!

Suddenly, many people were spitting out in shock.

How many had they seen strike the Eternal Stone?

Although the majority of people were unable to leave any marks on it, a few Defying Heaven Level geniuses indeed managed to leave their imprints on the stone and their names on the leaderboard.

But at most, they only left a shallow trace, so who could match Shi Hao’s feat?

In terms of absolute strength, there were plenty here who could defeat Shi Hao instantly, however, when it came to relative combat power, Shi Hao was many times superior to the so-called geniuses.

As expected, the Eternal Stone immediately softened, allowing Shi Hao to easily leave his name.

What name should he write?

Shi Hao thought for a moment and decided not to leave his real name.

Well, his principle in life was, "If no one offends me, I offend no one. If someone provokes me, I become Asura, and blood flows into a river!"

Good!

He stretched out his finger and wrote two characters on the Eternal Stone.

"Asura."

Many people saw it and muttered to themselves.

"Look quickly!"

Everyone immediately turned their gaze to the leaderboard, only to see the characters for "Asura" prominently taking the first place!

First!

Asura had dropped to second place, heavens, this guy with a casual punch had actually surpassed the contemporary prodigies to take the top spot.

"You, you look at the overall rankings too," someone pointed to the historical leaderboard.

Hisss, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath followed, because Shi Hao’s alias had shot up to the ninth place in history!

Ninth place in history.

What did that signify?

Out of so many geniuses from ancient times until now, Shi Hao ranked ninth, and all this was merely the result of his casual punch.

Freaking hell!

The Supplementing Divine Temple folks were also stunned. They were guarding here, not necessarily because they genuinely believed they would encounter an extraordinary genius, but rather to try their luck.

But now what?

They were utterly shocked.

First in contemporary rankings, ninth in history!

Such a genius definitely had to be recruited into their sect; as long as Shi Hao could grow, he would surely become the number one in the world.

Just look at Gu Shiyun. In the past, he dominated both new and old on the Sky Ladder, prompting the Myriad Sects to pay homage. He was truly the invincible one of his time.

Shi Hao had that kind of potential.

However, seeing that Shi Hao still had two strikes remaining, they did not rush to act.

Let’s see if he can climb even higher.

Huh, am I really only ranked ninth in history?

Shi Hao felt surprised. Although he hadn’t used any of his powerful moves, his regular combat power was estimated to be able to annihilate the Seven Aspects and Eight Aspects. How many realms had that crossed?

In history, at least eight people had reached such a height and were even stronger than him.

Shi Hao’s eyes brightened with excitement. Many of these prodigies would have died by now, and those who hadn’t would be individuals from a thousand years prior, having become Almightys in their own right.

He couldn’t possibly fight against the dead or such Almightys, but to compare the combat power at the same stage through the Eternal Stone was also a kind of pleasure.

Come.

Shi Hao thought for a moment, then he channeled the Net of Rules, wrapping it around his fist, and proceeded to execute the Eight Extremes Fierce Fire Fist towards the Eternal Stone.

On the contemporary leaderboard, Shi Hao’s ranking remained unchanged—how could it change when he was already first? But on the historical leaderboard, his rank shot up swiftly, landing him in the second place.

Huh?

Shi Hao was astonished. He hadn’t surpassed Gu Shiyun?

Although he knew of Gu Shiyun’s monstrous talent, it was built upon legends and stories, so how strong he really was remained a rather vague concept.

But now, he had to admit, Gu Shiyun was indeed formidable.
