Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 434: No, the First!

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: No, the First!

Second in history!

This scene was, of course, witnessed by everyone, and they were all shocked beyond measure.

Before, when they saw Shi Hao effortlessly strike and ascend the rankings, even being able to proudly take ninth place, they knew Shi Hao’s ranking could go even higher, but still, seeing Shi Hao surge to the second highest in history made them tremble in fear.

What kind of monstrous talent is this?

He’s practically on par with Gu Shiyun!

Who is the ancient Gu? A prodigy who pushed the entire world horizontally and who could make the Myriad Sects come to court. There hasn’t been a second person who has accomplished this throughout ancient and modern times.

Even now, on the South Wood Continent, Gu Shiyun’s name is still taboo; a careless mention might make one the target of others.

This "Asura" right in front of them is the monster who ranks only second to Gu Shiyun!

The strong ones left from the Supplementing Divine Temple are extremely excited. What’s the biggest gain from entering the Purple Green Secret Realm this time?

It’s getting this genius!

Right after Gu Shiyun!

Shi Hao frowned. He hadn’t surpassed the ancient Gu?

Does he have to use the Sky-Flipping Seal?

Shi Hao shook his head. Such an outburst couldn’t be considered his normal combat power, and besides, if his strength and Spirit were both drained suddenly, any person here could finish him off with just a light strike.

Put his life in the hands of others’ kindness?

Shi Hao wouldn’t be so foolish.

Good!

Shi Hao began to gather strength for the third strike.

"Going for more?"

"Of course, he’s already second in history. He definitely wants to vie for first place."

"But... no chance!"

"Indeed, no chance."

"Gu Shiyun is not just any kind of amazing. It can be said that all the freaks are in one category, and Gu Shiyun is in a category of his own; they are simply not on the same level."

"Yeah, no matter how strong one gets, they can only be second, under Gu Shiyun."

Many people were whispering among themselves, all believing that Shi Hao could not possibly surpass Gu Shiyun. He was the genius among geniuses, the freak among monsters, and simply not someone anyone could compare to.

Go!

Shi Hao launched a punch, not only wrapped with the Net of Rules but also invoked the Purple Thunder Spear, and even a terrifying flame was flickering - Fire Scorches the Heavens.

Throwing three big moves at once, it can be said that aside from the Sky-Flipping Seal, this was Shi Hao’s greatest outburst.

Bang!

The punch hit the Eternal Stone, directly smashing a huge pit into it.

Spurt, many people sprayed out, my god, smashing out a huge pit, what kind of terrifying power is this?

"Heavens!"

"This simply cannot be real!"

"My goodness!"

Many people were holding their heads, showing an absolute look of disbelief.

On the overall historical leaderboard, Shi Hao’s name was prominently elevated by one rank.

First!

That ancient monster, Gu Shiyun, who pressed everyone down so they could barely catch their breath and only feel inferior, had now fallen to second place, having just swapped places with Shi Hao’s name.

First of all time? Suppressed Gu Shiyun?

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in surprise. Although there were too many people here who could kill Shi Hao with a single slap, given time, Shi Hao will surely become an invincible overlord, and the glory of many sects coming to court could possibly be reenacted.

Heaven! Heaven! Heaven!

Many people began nurturing the desire to forge good relations with Shi Hao. Having an unbeatable Heaven Building Ladder powerhouse covering your back on Yunding Star would mean you could walk sideways, couldn’t you?

But some others showed a fierce gleam in their eyes.

Although Yunding Star now towered alone over the South Wood Continent, the powers and mighty ones on the continent restrained each other, and no sect or group had become dominant. However, once Shi Hao rose to prominence, the world might have to bow to his rule.

Who would want to suddenly find themselves with an additional father?

Wouldn’t it be better to take out Shi Hao while he was still weak?

—Why should they care if this kid wasn’t from their own sect?

Furthermore, you just don’t know how to keep a low profile, do you? With such a terrifying talent, you actually laid it all bare for everyone to see—who else would they target if not you?

Shi Hao had also considered this, but Gu Shiyun had come from an island with no background and had been pursued and hunted down relentlessly. In the end, didn’t he become the world’s strongest?

So Shi Hao didn’t mind being targeted; it could serve as motivation for him. Besides, once his strength increased, he could simply turn around and exterminate his enemies, which would certainly be a delightful affair.

Otherwise, what’s the point of all this cultivation? Isn’t it boring?

Let’s go back a little in time, to the outside world.

"Haha, you guys look—the Cheng Family’s 324 has dropped to over seventieth place, it looks like he will soon fall off the leaderboard."

"Sigh, turns out to be someone who relied on luck, but when it comes to the Eternal Stone, where real strength is tested, his true form shows."

"Forget it, it’s just a junior from the Cheng Family, not worth paying attention to."

"Mm."

"What I’m curious about is who this Luo is, suddenly rushed to the top of the leaderboard, stepping over Xia Mengyin and Xu Huan, truly impressive."

"I bet it’s not someone from any sect, otherwise, they would definitely include the sect’s name."

"Right, this is an excellent opportunity to expand a sect’s influence. There’s no way they would miss it."

"If this person reveals their identity, they will surely be fought over by all the forces."

"Of course."

"Eh!"

"Damn!"

"Heaven!"

Suddenly, there were exclamations of astonishment from the crowd, causing everyone else to look around in wonder—what had happened?

Then, they too were stupefied.

What did they see?

On the leaderboard, Luo was pushed to second place, while "Asura (Jiuwu City 324)" took the first position, but after that line flashed briefly, it simply became "Asura."

What the hell!

"He’s topped it!"

"Surpassing Luo, to become the trialist with the highest potential!"

Those who had ridiculed Shi Hao were suddenly speechless, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Just now they said Shi Hao wasn’t up to it, that he was just lucky. But what about now?

The guy shot up again and reclaimed the top spot on the leaderboard.

What does this show?

It simply means that Shi Hao started the test of the Eternal Stone a bit late, it doesn’t mean he isn’t worthy of acclaim.

"No, no, no, reclaiming the first place doesn’t prove that his talent is the best." Someone still argued.

"Right, right, right!" others who belittled Shi Hao echoed, "He was first in Reward Points before, so he does not need to be first in talent this time; as long as he completes a few more tasks together, then the accumulated total will still be the first."

Many people looked at them with a hint of disdain.

"Hehe, this person’s name has changed, indicating he has made his mark on the Eternal Stone. And if someone could make their mark on the Eternal Stone, do we even need to talk about their talent?" someone said leisurely.

This immediately silenced those who continued to look down on Shi Hao.

Indeed, so far, only seventy-two people have changed their names, and the rest all bore names with the "1234" suffixes. That being so, even if Shi Hao’s talent was worse, he would at least rank seventy-second.

If you are ranked number seventy-two across the entire continent, isn’t that impressive enough?
