Chapter 640: Chapter 640 Intimidation

Of course.

The battle between Shi Hao and Bei Yan was watched by all; how could Shi Hao possibly expose his true strength?

All he needed was to win and achieve his goal.

As a result, Bei Yan died, so this was a good outcome.

Boom, a Fire Phoenix burst forth, carrying with it boundless sanctity and infinite might.

Jiang Quan attacked first, and it was with all his might; how could he possibly change his tactic now?

He had no choice but to take it head-on.

He let out a great roar, drawing on Elemental Power to protect himself, only to find, to his horror, that the space around him was utterly empty, utterly devoid of any elemental presence.

How, how is this possible?

Just at that moment, the Fire Phoenix bore down on him.

Jiang Quan had no recourse but to use the Divine Temple to shield himself, no longer caring about the terrible damage it would sustain.

After all, if one couldn’t even save his own life, what else was there to worry about?

As the Fire Phoenix struck, Jiang Quan’s face turned ashen, for the Divine Temple showed signs of melting.

Thankfully, the melting was slow.

–If they were of equal realms, would this blow have destroyed his Divine Temple?

Boom, as the fiery currents swept by, Jiang Quan mustered his strength to divert the Fire Phoenix’s trajectory toward a mountainside.

In the massive reverberation, a huge crater appeared on the mountainside, astonishingly large in area.

Jiang Quan swayed unsteadily, his entire body charred black.

This blow had dealt him a great shock, but he had managed to keep his life, and his injuries were not too severe–he still had the strength to fight again.

However, fear had taken hold of his heart.

Who could have imagined that Shi Hao was so powerful!

Knowing that his current strength definitely surpassed that of Bei Yan with suppressed cultivation, yet nearly being killed by that strike, how could Bei Yan have lasted so long if Shi Hao had used that move from the beginning?

This guy really knows how to endure!

It was precisely because of this that he felt confident enough to pursue alone. And the outcome?

Now he finally understood why Shi Hao had lured him here. It wasn’t that Shi Hao had foolishly run into a dead end, but to leave him with no avenue of escape!

“Shi Hao, that move just now was your ultimate move, wasn’t it!” he forced himself to stabilize his emotions. At this moment, he absolutely couldn’t lose his composure, or death would not be far off.

Stay calm, he must remain calm.

“I only suffered a minor injury from that move, which doesn’t affect my combat power at all.”

“So, I can still kill you!”

In his heart, however, shock still lingered. Why had he suddenly lost contact with the elements, as if it had been severed by some supreme celestial weapon?

How could this have happened?

Shi Hao smiled slightly, his hands moving, and the blazing flames revived, taking on the shape of a phoenix.

This time there was no third party, and since he had to kill Jiang Quan, he didn’t mind letting his opponent see the true face of Fire Scorches the Heavens.

Jiang Quan was suddenly petrified, again!

He had managed to block it before because the Divine Temple had guarded him, but it had already started to melt. Another attack like that would be too costly.

Boom!

But Shi Hao was already striding over, his hands pushing forward, the Fire Phoenix once again striking towards Jiang Quan.

Jiang Quan naturally did not want to take the hit head-on. He tried to dodge urgently, but the Fire Phoenix was too fast. He had only run a few steps when the Fire Phoenix was already upon him.

Having no choice, he turned around once more, summoning the Divine Temple and striking out with both hands.

Indeed, his communication with the elements was cut off once again.

This is Shi Hao’s ability!

But how exactly did he do it?

The Fire Phoenix attacked, and Jiang Quan’s Divine Temple was melted again, partly damaged before, but now it was serious structural damage. The pillars supporting the temple were on the verge of collapse, threatening to bring down the entire temple at any moment.

At this time, Shi Hao himself was also killing his way over, his domain unfolding, and the Royal Court rapidly expanding, filling a hundred zhang area.

The sky full of stars, with the Sun presiding.

What, what is this?

Jiang Quan’s scalp tingled with shock. How could there be such a Royal Court?

He had experienced the step of Founding the King Court himself; didn’t he know that the Royal Court is based on the Dharma appearance?

But you should know that who doesn’t form their Dharma appearance by observing a single object?

Mountains, rivers, Ferocious Beasts, divine weapons, all are as such.

But Shi Hao’s Dharma appearance?

It is actually the Sun, bright stars, Star River!

How did he visualize it?

You should know, the Sun is high above and blazingly intense, simply unapproachable, how did he visualize it?

It can’t just be about visualizing a form right, how is that different from a Fireball?

Now, he had a strange feeling, as if he had lost contact with the entire world and was thrown into another world altogether.

No, this is not an independent world, he could still sense the existence of elemental forces, but they were greatly affected, and he could at best extract one-tenth of the Elemental Power under normal circumstances.

“What’s going on?” Jiang Quan asked in a deep voice. Being qualified to be included in Ling Tian Academy, he was naturally a genius among geniuses, just not as monstrous as Bei Yan.

Therefore, the more it came to such a time, the calmer he became.

Shi Hao smiled slightly. “As you can see, this is my Royal Court.”

Nonsense, I know this is your Royal Court, but whose Royal Court can envelop a person within it?

This is extremely dangerous; because the Royal Court might be shattered, naturally leading to a fall in cultivation.

Aren’t you afraid?

And moreover, whose Royal Court has such unusual characteristics with the sun, moon, and stars?

He saw that it seemed not to be a Dharma appearance but a star space.

“Why can your Dharma appearance appear in the same Royal Court?” Jiang Quan asked again.

“Are you blind? This is clearly two Royal Courts!” Shi Hao laughed as he launched an attack.

Bang, bang, bang, his punches rained down like storm.

Jiang Quan was exhausted from the barrage and had no time to ask further questions.

Shi Hao, however, took the initiative to explain: “You should remember when I first entered Heavenly Palace Academy, I cultivated three Dharma appearances.”

Of course, Jiang Quan remembered; they were Fireball, Stone Sphere, and a rabbit. This was exactly why Shi Hao had become a laughingstock initially, until he dominated everyone in Self-Observation, and naturally, no one dared to mock him any longer.

“Actually, the Fireball is the Sun Dharma Aspect, the Stone Sphere is the Dwarf Star Dharma Aspect, and the rabbit -” Shi Hao sighed; it was truly a stain on his life, “Black Hole Physiognomy!”

“After I reached the Peak of Self-Observation, I fused all the Soul Islands into one, and naturally, all the Dharma appearances were also merged together.”

With this explanation, Jiang Quan immediately came to realization.

“So, you only formed one Royal Court!”

But this Royal Court encapsulated everything, so Shi Hao could not build a second Royal Court and could only develop upwards, stacking a second tier.

It wasn’t that he wanted to be different, but he was forced to.

Damn, what sort of monster is this!
