Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098: Divine Might
Damn, just two simple punches, and the two incredibly powerful water beasts were knocked away?
Ferocious beasts are notoriously obstinate, often fighting to the death without retreat, causing endless headaches.
So, to make such a beast back off with just two punches, how powerful must Shi Hao be for these tenacious water beasts to be “convinced” instantly?
Nine Stars?
No, definitely more than that!
Nine Stars is the pinnacle of the Copper Armored Immortal, but it’s only the end of the realm, not of combat power.
Wang Bin’s face turned pale with fright; no wonder Shi Hao was willing to sell Immortal Artifacts, because with his strength, he really didn’t need them to sweep through opponents at the Copper Armored Immortal level.
Did he actually dare to threaten Shi Hao?
Was he courting death?
“I didn’t, I didn’t say anything!” He quickly responded; was there any need to worry about face at this point?
Life was the most important thing.
“But I heard you talking about choosing the hard way, didn’t I?” Shi Hao said with a smile.
At this moment, Wang Bin wished he could slap himself — why did he have to step forward? Why couldn’t he let the Feng Family take this hit, since they clearly also wanted this Immortal Artifact?
“Young Master Shi, I was muddle-headed, I deserve punishment!” He discarded all face, addressing Shi Hao as Young Master Shi, and using “I” instead of “this seat.”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
He began slapping himself ferociously, one after another, soon turning his cheeks bright red, with blood and teeth spilling from his mouth.
He couldn’t afford not to be harsh; if he didn’t appease Shi Hao, the price could very well be his life, even the lives of the entire Wang Family.
Shi Hao waited until he had slapped himself a hundred times before saying, “Forget it, I’ll just pretend you farted.”
“Yes, yes, thank you Young Master Shi for your magnanimity!” Wang Bin quickly replied with a face full of joy.
He had finally safeguarded his life.
The Feng and Ji Families also saw this, their faces all turning grave, even Ji Tianrui and Feng Zhe furrowing their brows with a hint of regret.
They knew Shi Hao was strong, but they never imagined he would be this strong, merely appreciating his youth and talent, assuming he must have an impressive background, which is why they competed to flatter him.
They never expected Shi Hao to be so formidable.
Now, the initiative for the ancient relic exploration rested with Shi Hao, and if they found any precious treasures, how could they possibly outcompete Shi Hao?
Is this considered inviting a wolf into their home?
But now, can they still kick Shi Hao out?
They could only take things one step at a time now.
The group gathered their emotions and continued forward.
After a while, they arrived under those few blood-colored large trees, and as they got close, they heard a rustling noise. The leaves on the Blood Trees unexpectedly began to dance in the air.
What the hell, those aren’t Blood Trees, they were bare tree trunks covered with red bats, and now those bats were flapping their wings and flying towards Shi Hao and the others, each with blood-red eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
“Hmph, a group of little ferocious beasts at the Heaven Building Ladder dare to act impudently!” Feng Zhe and the other immortals said disdainfully. Of course, such a trivial matter need not trouble Shi Hao; they all struck, sending powerful attacks slicing through the air towards the bat swarms.
Indeed, with the immortals taking action, Heaven Building Ladder meant nothing, and the bats fell like hail, unable to approach.
But a few black bats broke through the attack and still charged at them.
Immortal Level!
Moreover, there were three that had reached Nine Stars Copper Armored Immortal, and the other four were above Five Stars, making the formation truly formidable.
Feng Zhe and others quickly revved up their Immortal Artifacts, confronting these Immortal-level bats.
A great battle was about to erupt.
The bats attacked with sound waves, opening their mouths to release inaudible waves that, wrapped in rules, rippled like water towards the group, and their sound waves could even strengthen each other, becoming terrifyingly potent when stacked.
“Ugh!” Ji Xueyi, Feng Wuzheng, and Wang Ke bled from all seven orifices, appearing quite grotesque.
Even though Ji Xueyi had an Immortal Artifact, the situation was only slightly better; but now his combat power was only at Five Stars, so how strong could he be?
Feng Zhe and others at Seven Stars Copper Armored Immortal fared a little better, as they still had Immortal Artifacts, but they likewise bled from the ears, looking quite disheveled.
At the first clash, the six immortals suffered a huge loss.
The sound waves kept stacking, culminating in an ultimate limit, not able to continue increasing indefinitely, but the power now was already sufficient to pose a huge threat to Nine Stars Copper Armored Immortal.
Ji Xueyi and the other two had no choice but to withdraw from the battle; otherwise, they would undoubtedly die, but relying solely on Feng Zhe and the other two, how could they stave off the bats’ assault?
They were instantly routed.
Shi Hao could not help but show an interested expression; he had thought his combat power surpassed Nine Stars, leaving him without rivals in this realm except for those true geniuses, but now he discovered there were still many wonders in the universe.
He reached out and gently waved his hand, and the unfolding of the Little Star Universe was something no one noticed.
My world, I am the dominator!
With just a swipe from Shi Hao, the sound waves immediately became chaotic.
Originally, the bats’ attacks did no harm to their kind, and could even amplify the sound waves, enhancing their power. But with Shi Hao’s interference, the frequencies mismatched completely, not only failing to stack, but even harming the bats themselves.
Pop, pop, pop, several bats below Nine Stars were immediately hit, dropping from the sky, leaving only three Nine Stars level ones struggling stubbornly.
This!
Feng Zhe and other people were speechless.
Strong, truly strong.
Their combined forces of six immortals were not enough, yet Shi Hao hadn’t really exerted himself; just a casual swipe, and the bat swarm suffered a crushing defeat.
Compared like this, wasn’t the gap in strength obvious?
Shi Hao smiled slightly; the Primordial Scripture was truly a good thing. Although it doesn’t involve Immortal-level, the Mortal-level is also part of the Immortal Realm, and a more fundamental existence. Mastering the Primordial Scripture still had great utility at the Immortal-level.
Just now, Shi Hao used the Primordial Scripture as a basis to unravel the secret of the bats’ attack augmenting technique, then struck effortlessly, causing a reverse effect.
He flicked his fingers again, and three bursts of energy shot out, which even the Nine Stars-level bats couldn’t block, one after another falling from the sky.
At this point, the bat swarm was completely dealt with.
“Young Master Shi’s divine power!”
Everyone praised unabashedly, with combat power like this, all they could do was look up in awe.
Moreover, they now had no objections to inviting Shi Hao over, thinking it was completely worthwhile.
—Without Shi Hao, they would have been “dissuaded” back by the water beasts earlier.
Shi Hao gave a faint smile, naturally not feeling conceited.
He was somewhat anticipating what might lie deeper within this secret realm, hoping to encounter even mightier beasts.
