Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 501: Siege

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Siege

The successors of the three great Heavenly Demon Path surrounded Shi Hao, their demeanor one of absolute determination to capture him.

Shi Hao gave a faint smile, but his gaze was fixed solely on Mo Du. "I’ve been looking for you for a long time, and here you come knocking on my door yourself. Today, I’ll turn you from an old zombie into a real corpse!"

"Hahaha!" Mo Du laughed loudly, yet his face bore no trace of mirth, it was unclear whether he didn’t want to smile or his flesh had dried up, making it difficult for any expression to show.

"Moreover, aren’t you afraid that I might indeed be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord and settle accounts with you all afterward by pressing me like this?" Shi Hao added.

"If the Demon Lord were to resurrect, how could your will possibly stand against the Demon Lord’s divine consciousness? You would surely be destroyed effortlessly!" Mo Du coldly stated, his expression proud.

Hmm, that does make some sense.

Shi Hao shook his head. "Then, for my self-preservation, I must eradicate you all now!"

"Shi Hao, why go against the tide of this great era?" Chen Ling spoke up. "The resurrection of the Demon Lord is inevitable by anyone! If you truly are a reincarnation of the Demon Lord, then even if the Demon Lord’s will takes over, the experiences of your lifetime will not be erased—you wouldn’t really die."

"On the contrary, you would become the strongest being in the world, reaching heights unimaginable to you now!"

Her face revealed a frenzied look, as though for the resurrection of the Demon Lord, she was even willing to die.

"Come on then!" Shi Hao beckoned, indifferent to the three Sect Masters of the Heavenly Demon Path successors. How could they compete?

With the same realm, he was invincible!

"Truly stubborn!" Mo Du sneered and took the lead in attacking Shi Hao.

Bang!

Shi Hao threw a punch, the Net of Rules ensnared, and his domain pierced through Mo Du’s attack’s flaw, targeting the weakest point of his strike, his iron fist penetrating through.

Immediately, Mo Du was sent flying, tracing an arc through the sky, then crashing heavily to the ground.

"Hiss!" Mo Du inhaled sharply, yelling at Hai Wuyan, "Is this what you call inferior cultivation?"

What a huge mistake trusting your words, he thought recklessly striking based on that, and what happened? He was almost beaten to death!

Hai Wuyan looked puzzled: "His cultivation is indeed lower than mine, but he has mastered some strange techniques, his combat power is still above mine."

Damn, such crucial information, and you didn’t mention it earlier?

Mo Du gritted his teeth, are you deliberately sabotaging your teammates?

Shi Hao hesitated too; such a risky ally, might he not betray him at some point?

It should be known that Hai Wuyan’s betrayals were never intentional, so even the smartest could not see it coming, only to regret it deeply after being deceived.

Chen Ling was even more astonished. She had watched as Shi Hao grew from weak to strong. Precisely because of this, she was shocked, the man she could have crushed with one finger, now had become strong enough to compare with her, or even stronger!

He must be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord; otherwise, how could he possess such rapid progression in realm and the invincible power to sweep through his peers?

Moreover, now that the Demon Lord’s past life memories have not yet awakened, Shi Hao was already so formidable. What would happen if the real Demon Lord dominated this sub-body?

No wonder the Demon Lord could once sweep across the world, establishing an invincible name.

Awesome!

She spoke with immense excitement. "Shi Hao, you must be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord; let us awaken your past life memories. By doing so, not only will your combat power be much stronger among your peers, but your progression in realm will also be many times faster. In less than a hundred years, you could become the strongest person on Yunding Star, with the entire world groveling at your feet!"

Shi Hao shook his head, "Your ambitions are truly pitiful. I aim to dominate the Universe and one day storm into the Immortal Realm and overpower the Immortal Kings. Claiming kingship over this tiny Celestial Body? Alas, it’s a waste of my talents!"

Chen Ling and the other two were dumbfounded by his words. Were you really planning to become a king in the Immortal Realm?

"Hmph, the memories of the Demon Lord have not yet awakened, yet you speak so grandly," Mo Du said disdainfully, "Even when the Demon Lord was alive, he wouldn’t dare claim he could sweep through the Immortal Realm! Boy, do you even know what the Immortal Realm is like? It’s a place far beyond ours, where any Immortal could easily obliterate our world with a flick of their hand!"

Shi Hao gave a faint smile, "I definitely understand much more than you do!"

— He had met not just one Immortal but had even fallen in love with one of them.

Wouldn’t you be scared to death if I told you that?

So, what was the Demon Lord compared to them?

"Are you still fighting or not?" he asked impatiently.

"Let’s join forces, this kid is no simple matter," Mo Du said.

"Mm," Chen Ling nodded. She had been hugely self-interested before, but now that her motives were known to Mo Du and Hai Wuyan, she decided not to pursue them further but to instead hurry to awaken the memories of the Demon Lord.

Hai Wuyan scratched his head, showing a troubled expression.

He really wanted to recruit Shi Hao as his underling.

"So slow!" Shi Hao became impatient, moved his feet, and directly launched an attack.

"How audacious!" Mo Du and Chen Ling attacked together.

The two powerhouses joined forces, which was no small matter, covering many of each other’s weaknesses and leaving fewer and smaller openings, making them harder to exploit.

Undaunted, Shi Hao attacked with his Purple Thunder Spear, the terrifying lightning flickering, instantly blasting both Chen Ling away.

— Unprepared, who among their peers could withstand a lightning attack?

Shi Hao was about to follow up with another strike to settle Mo Du first, but Hai Wuyan stepped in and blocked him.

This man was extraordinary, possessing top-tier combat power. Without using his powerful moves, Shi Hao would find it difficult to quickly take him down based on combat power alone.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After exchanging a few moves, although Chen Ling and Mo Du had recovered, they didn’t immediately join the fray but were instead preparing their powerful Techniques on the side.

"Corpse General, appear!" Mo Du shouted loudly. Immediately, a skeleton emerged from between his eyebrows, rapidly growing in size to nearly ten feet tall, wielding a black-as-ink Ghost Head Saber.

"Corpse Soldiers, appear!"

With another shout from Mo Du, eight smaller skeletons emerged from between his eyebrows.

One large and eight small; these were exactly the Dharma appearances he envisioned.

Shi Hao sensed them and was somewhat surprised; these Dharma appearances actually had a tangible feel!

"Eh, the bones are real!" he murmured. In the nine skeletal Dharma appearances, there was indeed one real bone, which wasn’t just a manifestation of the Dharma appearance.

"Indeed, in these nine Dharma appearances, each contains one of my bones!" Mo Du proudly declared. This was a mysterious aspect of the Corpse Ghost Path, where one could melt their bone into the Dharma appearance, and later it could be forged into a Royal Court. As it came from their own body, its power was much greater than ordinary Dharma appearances or Royal Courts.

Shi Hao suddenly understood; no wonder these Dharma appearances could be retracted back into the Soul Sea, as the bones within were originally from him, of the same origin and essence, naturally they could be returned.

Elsewhere, Chen Ling also summoned her Dharma appearance.
