Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 942: Kill

Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Kill

Shi Hao was now merely at the Saintly Position; his combat power, although defying the heavens, had not yet reached the Heaven Connecting Road level. Therefore, matters such as opposing the Dark Empire were certainly not for him to worry about.

There was not much he could do; to deliver intelligence this valuable was already quite extraordinary and could even be considered a monumental contribution.

"Asura, you possess an Immortal Artifact, but it’s not of much use in your hands. Why not hand it over? This is the critical period of opposing the Dark Empire, and with that Immortal Artifact, we could significantly increase our odds of success," spoke an Almighty suddenly.

"Indeed!" This won the approval of many.

The Immortal Abode, a place of absolute safety in the Mortal Realm—who wouldn’t want it?

Thus, they shamelessly ignored Shi Hao’s contribution of bringing back the news, which was a huge merit for the Human Clan.

Shi Hao’s face darkened. Although he anticipated such a scenario could happen, the sheer number of people joining the coercion surprised him.

—In the eyes of these Almighties, no matter how monstrous you are, you’re just a small-being at the Saintly Position. Is there a need to consider your feelings?

Absolutely unnecessary.

Just as Shi Hao was about to retreat into the Immortal Abode, a booming sound erupted. A figure suddenly tore open space and appeared, with a terrifying aura sweeping over the place like a vast ocean.

Too terrifying, too powerful!

The Swordsman, he had caught up.

This was truly the bravado of a man with superior skill. This was not even within the territory of the Dark Empire, yet he slaughtered his way here without fear.

"Die!" The Swordsman attacked, slicing toward Shi Hao.

The blade’s light was dazzling, capable of slicing the heavens and destroying the earth.

Under this slash, not only would Shi Hao be doomed, but the celestial body beneath him would also shatter.

Facing this slash, the crowd of Almighties had no choice but to intervene. Otherwise, they too would face disaster.

Bang!

With one slash, the crowd scattered like loose sand, flying in all directions.

The ninety-ninth level Super Ultimate Peak was this terrifying.

No one at the scene could match him, not even collectively, as they were blasted away with a single strike.

This was combat power comparable to that of old Gu, who once with his own might, commanded the Myriad Sects to come and bow; his strength was naturally out of this world.

Here, there were thirty-seven Heaven Building Ladder bearers, even including five Peerless Great Abilities, yet even combined they were no match for the Super Ultimate Peak.

However, nevertheless nearly forty Heaven Building Ladder bearers, with even some Peerless included, managed to defuse this attack, and so Shi Hao didn’t need to hide in the Immortal Abode. He turned back to look at that Swordsman.

The crowd of Heaven Building Ladder bearers also looked serious, initially not quite believing Shi Hao and feeling he was exaggerating. However, after that slash, they finally understood Shi Hao was not exaggerating at all.

Under the starry sky, a ninety-ninth level Super Ultimate Peak had emerged, with a combat power indescribably exaggerated.

"Your excellency, the Dark Empire has already occupied ten large stars. Why not stop here, and we can acknowledge your governance over these celestial bodies," a Peerless Great Ability said, his tone quite yielding.

There was no choice; the opponent was too strong. Over thirty Almighties, yet they couldn’t rival this person. Where was their confidence?

The Swordsman’s gaze swept across, or rather, it seemed like he made such an action, then coldly said, "The rise of darkness is unstoppable. For a great objective, your sacrifice will be infinitely meaningful."

"Nonsense!" At these words, all the Almighties scolded.

Sacrifice them?

It was laughable; they were each the strongest of the era, having control over others’ destinies. Now they were to sacrifice themselves for some objective?

No matter how great that objective, in their eyes, it was nothing but crap.

"Your excellency, you’re ultimately just a faction. Competing against the entire Universe, do you think you have any chance of victory?" said the previous Peerless Great Ability.

He wanted to persuade him further; after all, a Super Ultimate Peak at the ninety-ninth level was terrifying.

The Swordsman didn’t even consider them, dismissively saying, "A crowd of worthless beings, also worthy of being our opponents?"

Shwing, he slashed again; the dazzling blade light streaked through, causing everyone to hurriedly evade, not daring to face him head-on.

The Swordsman didn’t continue attacking, only giving a cold laugh, the mockery incredibly conspicuous.

Look, he marched in alone, while you didn’t even have the courage to face him directly, yet want to stop the Dark Empire?

Absurd!

This made all the Almighties’ faces darken. When had they ever been so despised?

However, they did not attack and instead deliberately stalled for time.

—They had already sent out messages via the Great Void Realm. Shortly, a constant flow of experts will arrive.

Taking this opportunity, they aim to sever one of the Dark Empire’s arms, thereby greatly easing the pressure when they eventually vanquish this force in the future.

Otherwise, an additional ninety-ninth level Super Peak would be a nightmare.

However, the Swordsman did not become complacent or waste time; soon, he attacked again.

Shwing, shwing, shwing, blade lights swept across, illuminating the Universe.

As the Super Ultimate Peak attacked, the momentum was incredibly terrifying. The blade energy spread tens of thousands of miles, shattering all meteors and asteroids it touched.

Over thirty Heaven Building Ladder bearers had to give it their all, guarding the celestial body behind them—not only to save their lives, but also to preserve their reputation. If they collectively lost to one individual, where would their face be?

Yet, even when joined, they barely held up.

The Swordsman was too strong; with each slash, the Almighties had to fight for their lives to intercept, and after just dozens of slashes, each one’s face was pale, with some even having blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

At this rate, in just half a stick of incense time, the Swordsman could easily destroy them all.

The ninety-ninth level Super Ultimate Peak was just that terrifying!

Just as the Almighties were considering fleeing, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, numerous formidable auras spread all over.

Reinforcements had arrived!

One after another, Heaven Building Ladder bearers joined the fray, surrounding and attacking the Swordsman.

Even so, the Swordsman remained at ease, firmly holding the upper hand.

This critical point broke only when the number of Heaven Building Ladder experts joining the fray exceeded a hundred.

On the battlefield, the Swordsman no longer held the advantage, becoming evenly matched, and as more Heaven Building Ladder experts arrived, the scales of victory tilted to the other side.

"Your excellency, better surrender!" All the Almighties smirked now that they were in the dominant position.

"Hmph!" The Swordsman snorted coldly, suddenly erupting with lightning; swoosh, he slashed once more, the blade light like divine splendor that cleaved the heavens and the earth, capable of annihilating all.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three massive lights exploded, an earth-shattering spectacle, as three Heaven Building Ladder bearers were annihilated on the spot.

What!

Witnessing this scene, everyone felt a chill run through their bodies, even their souls trembled.
