Asura Sovereign VI

by Shian Jeen

  Yao Shan was really hanging with a thread, several times he was nearly bitten by a Poison Corpse Scarab.

  Just like Yao Shan’s voice ended, the other Elder issued a miserable scream. Yao Shan changed over to look and noticed the Elder being submerged under a variety of Poison Corpse Scarabs, just the view made his knees go weak, almost stumbling to the bottom.

  “Retreat!” At this point, Gě Gé’s order sounded.

  Gě Gé’s tone of voice sounded like nature’s lullaby in Yao Shan’s ears. Without the hesitation, he leaped into the air, wanting to flee from the headache. The same kept true for Jiang Shi and the rest as well.

  Yet, just like Yao Shan leaped up, the shiny sky turned into absolute darkness, they were hardly in a position to see their own five fingertips as a monstrous ghostly energy broke out like giant waves.

  Yao Shan was shocked, then he found evil spirits pouncing after him.

  “This, what's happening?!” Yao Shan was petrified and upset at the same time, with an influx of his palm he shattered the wicked spirits that obstructed his path.

  Seeing that his attack was effective, Yao Shan breathed in relief; fortunately those evil spirits weren’t as scary as the Poison Corpse Scarabs.

  “That is probably some kind of ghost array, everyone quickly break out and leave!” Gě Gé’s voice rang out.

  However, just as Gě Gé reminded the Elders, a clear pain came from one of Yao Shan’s arms, then his body started feeling numb and heavy.

  This is?! Yao Shan was stricken with terror as the corner of his attention caught sight of a swarm of Poison Corpse Scarabs swarming at him.

  “Save me, Elder Gě Gé, you all, save me!!” Yao Shan cried out in desperation, but what responded him was the shrieks of countless bad spirits.

  Seeing that nobody arriving to his aid, Yao Shan was angered, “Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, you bastards, all of you will pass away miserably!” Yao Shan began cursing since he was going to die anyway, he has no scruples speaking his mind.

  Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, and the other Deities Templar Elders were angered and enraged hearing Yao Shan curse at them, but at this time they had no time to be bothered with him.

  This ghost array was one that Huwang Xiao laid out using the Supreme Ghost Flag.

  Huwang Xiao already expected those Deities Templar Elders would try to run, therefore the instant those individuals moved to run, Huwang Xiao took out the Supreme Ghost Flag, instantaneously arranging the Sea of Devils and Ghosts Array.

  Huwang Xiao watched Yao Shan leap and curse within the array and a thought struck him, then he recalled all the Poison Corpse Scarabs right out of the array.

  Yao Shan, who was simply cursing to his heart’s content, suddenly noticed the Poison Corpse Scarabs which were swarming toward him receded, leaving him confounded, ‘What’s happening?’ Then joy cleaned over him, could it be that Huwang Xiao didn’t intend to destroy him so fast?

  Yet, in a moment, Yao Shan was engulfed by countless bad spirits, drowning in them. Yao Shan’s miserable wails echoed endlessly in the array.

  Barely an instant passed and Yao Shan was torn and swallowed by those evil spirits, his soul was sucked in to the flag by Huwang Xiao, erasing his consciousness using the ghost aura inside the Supreme Ghost Flag.

  After dealing with Yao Shan’s soul, Huwang Xiao considered Gě Gé and the others. By this point, Gě Gé acquired broken out from the ghost array, tearing the space and fleeing with Jiang Shi and the other Elders. Despite that, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu managed to intercept two of the Deities Templar Elders.

  Those two met the same fate as Yao Shan, their flesh and bones tore apart and swallowed by wicked spirits, whereas their souls were sucked into the Supreme Ghost Flag with their consciousness erased, becoming one of the Supreme Ghost Flag’s ghost spirits.

  Huwang Xiao retrieved the Supreme Ghost Flag.

  “Sovereign, should we give chase?” Zhao Shu arrived to stand behind Huwang Xiao inquiring.

  Huwang Xiao looked toward the path Gě Gé fled and shook his mind, saying, “No need.” Right from the start, killing Gě Gé wasn’t his main goal, in the end, Gě Gé was a maximum late-Tenth Order Saint world expert.

  Although Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, and two other Elders escaped, he were able to kill seven Deities Templar’s Elders, it was quite a harvest.

  But then again, this was merely interest!

  Thinking about Lu Kai, Huwang Xiao looked skyward, muttering to no one in particular, “Don’t worry bro, there will be a day when I annihilate Deities Templar by the roots and wipe out Li Molin with my hands to avenge you!”

  Huwang Xiao put the spatial bands he collected from the seven Deities Templar Elders away. Facing Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu he said, “Let’s go.” All three people remaining the Luo Tong Kingdom.

  Huwang Xiao believed that phrase of this battle in Luo Tong Royal City would pass on like wildfire across Snow Blowing wind Continent, Starcloud Continent, and even 10 Directions Continent, similar to the fight at Growing Sun City.

  A long time after Huwang Xiao’s group and Gě Gé’s group still left, the lucky households’ disciples that survived steadily approached the palace grounds. These were all surprised to see the collapsed and ruined palace structures because of the battle shockwaves. There was no Luo Tong Palace any longer. And there is a huge gap in the square ground that stuffed them with apprehension.

  Shortly after leaving the Luo Tong Royal City, Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu still left Luo Tong Kingdom’s territory altogether.

  “Sovereign, Gě Gé and those people ran away, the matter about you controlling Poison Corpse Scarabs would spread throughout the entire Martial Spirit World in a short period of time.” On the way, Zhao Shu spoke.

  Huwang Xiao saw through Zhao Shu’s worries, “It’s fine, it might a good thing.” With the problem spreading out, there would be fewer people who dared to harbor ulterior motives toward him.

  After all, Huwang Xiao had Poison Corpse Scarabs that might even kill high-level Saint realm warriors.

  On the other hand, Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, and the two Elders fled with almost all their might, flying at high speed for several hours. Only after determining that Huwang Xiao didn't pursue them do they dare to avoid to rest on the barren hill, panting the lives out of them.

  Ch.373

  Finally stopping down to rest, Gě Gé and the other three Deities Templar Elders’ expressions were extremely ugly. Neither of the four uttered a term for a long period.

  “Elder Gě Gé, what do we do now?” A short while later, Jiang Shi spoke, breaking the heavy silence.

  Gě Gé looked at the sky, sighing just a little helplessly, “Let us return to Deities Templar first.” It was inevitable that they would receive punishment from the Temple Preceptor once they returned.

  “I didn’t expect Huwang Xiao, that punk, to have the ability to control something like Poison Corpse Scarabs!” Jiang Shi’s brows wrinkled, “It will be very difficult to eliminate him in the foreseeable future.”

  Gě Gé nodded in contract, a light flickered in his eyes, “How did that kid do it?” referring to Huwang Xiao’s capability to control those Poison Corpse Scarabs.

  Jiang Shi shook his head, “It should be some type of cultivation technique. In the historic times, the Ghost Ruler could control hundreds of thousands of evil spirits, but I’ve never heard about a cultivation technique that may be used to regulate ancient poisonous animals such as Poison Corpse Scarabs!”

  “Can it be Ten Directions Continent’s Beast Taming Art?” Another Deities Templar Elder made a guess.

  The Beastmen on Ten Directions Continent had some sort of Beast Taming Art that allowed them to control demonic beasts.

  Gě Gé rejected the idea, shaking his head, “It’s probably not, the Beast Taming Art would enable a person to control two demonic beasts at most. Let it be for now, we should rush back to the temple and report this matter to the Temple Preceptor, with Temple Preceptor’s Divination Art, he'd definitely be ab
le to determine the cause!”

  Jiang Shi and the other two Elders agreed.

  Without further delay, the four disappeared from the barren hill in a flicker, flying at breaking speed continuously. Ten times later, they left the Snow Wind Continent, arriving at the edge of the vast sea.

  Fierce gales shaped a natural barricade across the edge, black streams of energy floated in the air, dissipating and then gathering once again, emitting an aura of death.

  This is one of Martial Heart World’s biggest forbidden lands, the Loss of life Sea Gorge. Deities Templar headquarters was actually located above the Death Sea Gorge.

  From the Dead Sea Gorge, Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, and both Elders flew within an erratic pattern, with turns and twists, for a number of hours before arriving on an island.

  This island was a huge irregular sphere, like a piece of land hovering above the Death Sea Gorge.

  Around the island, ancient trees towered in the sky, strange looking demonic beasts could be spotted flying throughout the island, exuding a coercion that appeared to come from an ancient era.

  When Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, and the two Elders saw these strange looking demonic beasts, there was fear in their eyes. Even Gě Gé, a top late-Tenth Order Saint realm showed fear before these demonic beasts, you can guess the extent of their terror.

  The four people cautiously approach the island, landing on its ground. Reaching the island, the band of four walked through the solid forest, reaching the maximum of a mountain one hour later. On this hill peak was a grand looking palace.

  The four people headed right to the highest peak, by foot. Upon this island, even with these four people’s identities, they could only walk. Halfway up, the four ran into a handsome young man dressed in a golden brocade robe, he previously a pair of sharpened pointy ears and snow blue eye.

  The young man was surprised running into Gě Gé’s group, “Gě Gé, weren’t you supposed to be guarding the Luo Tong Kingdom? What brings you back again?”

  Gě Gé’s face turned slightly red.

  Jiang Shi and both Elders stepped up in greeting, “Greeting Elder Liu Yang.”

  This son was one of Deities Templar’s Great Elders, Liu Yang. Furthermore, among the ten Great Elders, Liu Yang positioned above Gě Gé.

  Liu Yang nodded somewhat at the three people.

  Gě Gé hesitated before saying, “Huwang Xiao appeared.”

  “Huwang Xiao!” Liu Yang viewed the four people, asking, “Where’s his mind?” Obviously, he thought that the four came back to bring Huwang Xiao’s head.

  No words could describe what the four were feeling currently, hence, nobody answered.

  Realizing the weird expressions on the four encounters, Liu Yang directed, “Jiang Shi, speak, what happened? What occurred to Yao Shan and the rest?”

  Jiang shi dared not cover the truth, answering honestly, “Elder Yao Shan and the others are all dead.”

  “What?!” Liu Yang was astonished. Only the four people before him, including Gě Gé, managed to return, the others passed away! Seven Saint world experts died!

  Jiang Shi added, “That Huwang Xiao controls poisonous ancient insects, the Poison Corpse Scarabs!”

  “Poison Corpse Scarabs!” Liu Yang’s face grew grave.

  Jiang Shi continued with a somber appearance, “Yes, and it was no less than ten thousand of these. Elder Yao Shan and the others were killed by these Poison Corpse Scarabs. If weren’t because we were quick, most likely we too would have…” Recalling the picture of the Elders being consumed bare, Jiang Shi sensed a chill ran down his back.

  Liu Yang was astounded. More than ten thousand Poison Corpse Scarabs!

  “This matter must be reported to the Temple Preceptor at the earliest opportunity!” Liu Yang stated with a dignified face.

  Gě Gé nodded.

  A while later, several people stood in a grand hall on the main peak. Within the expert chair in the grand hall sat a young man, who was shrouded entirely in a black fog. Black fog rumbled endlessly, exuding an intense deathly aura, as though the individual inside was a messenger of loss of life.

  Due to the dark fog, the young man’s face was obscured, the only discernible trait was that the silhouette belonged to a man. A beautiful young woman with a cold temperament stood beside the black fog, clad in a pure white dress. This frosty young woman was none other than Li Lu!

  More than a decade had passed, the naive pureness and mischievous light had totally vanished from her face, leaving only cool aloofness.

  “You’re saying that Huwang Xiao has controlled ten thousand Poison Corpse Scarabs?” Within the dark fog, an ethereal tone of voice sounded after hearing what was reported. The voice appeared able to penetrate deep into one’s spirit.

  “Yes, Preceptor.” Gě Gé quickly replied, kneeling down at the same time, “Please mete out this subordinate’s consequence, Preceptor.”

  The young man shrouded in the black fog was the mysterious Deities Templar Temple Preceptor, Ying Tian!

  Jiang Shi and the two Elders also knelt down in apprehension, requesting for punishment.

  At this time, an overwhelming power surged from the black fog. Before this power, neither Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, nor the rest had the strength to resist. In an instant, four figures were thrown out of the hall. Even so, all four of them swiftly surely got to their legs again with bloodstream trickling down the sides of their mouths.

  A suffocating silence descended in the grand hall.

  Sweat rolled down Gě Gé and the three Elders’ foreheads.

  “Leave.” The tone of voice sounded again from the black fog.

  “Our gratitude to Preceptor for sparing our lives.” The four people’s eyes lit up, quickly providing their thanks before retreating from the hall.

  From the beginning, Li Lu stood without speaking a phrase, impassive. Even when she noticed Huwang Xiao’s name, there is no indication of recognition, as if it was only a name, someone unrelated to her.

  After Gě Gé’s group remaining the grand hall, Temple Preceptor Ying Tian spoke, “Liu Yang.”

  In the grand gall, Liu Yang shook before complying, “Subordinate’s present!”

  “Lead 6 Elders, make a trip to Starcloud Continent’s Asura’s Gate headquarters in Center Oblast, bring fifteen sets of Divine Dragon Armor over.” Temple Preceptor Ying Tian purchased. “Tell Li Molin to pay attention Huwang Xiao’s activities at all times.”

  During the trip to the Ancient Dragon Clan ruins in the foundation Forest, Deities Templar were able to snatch three primordial divine dragon corpses, using the dragon scales and skin to refine more than a dozen sets of Divine Dragon Shield. The Divine Dragon Armor’s defense was adamant, it was impossible for average godly weaponry to penetrate through their defenses.

  “Yes, Preceptor!” Liu Yang complied respectfully, with those Divine Dragon Armors, they might have no fear of the Poison Corpse Scarabs.

  “If Huwang Xiao appears in Starcloud Continent’s Middle Oblast, everyone must exert all efforts to kill him and bring back his check out me.” A sharp glint flickered in Ying Tian’s eye, “Otherwise, all of you have no need to return!”

  A chill spread completely to Liu Yang’s primary.

  Ch.374

  Carrying out the Temple Preceptor’s order, Liu Yang brought fifteen models of Divine Dragon Armor and six Deities Templar Elders and going toward Starcloud Continent’s Asura’s Gate headquarters.

  By this time, the fight in Luo Tong Royal City had reached Duanren Empire, spreading to neighboring empires. It had been such as a tornado that kept growing bigger, achieving every part of Snow Blowing wind Continent.

  Once again Snow Wind Continent was shocked.

  Huwang Xiao, who had been missing for three years, reappeared once again. This time, he actually wiped out seven Saint realm Deities Templar Elders at once!

  When the news spread, the impact was a minimum of a heaven punishment dropping down on Snow Wind Continent.

  In Rising Sunlight City
’s battle, Huwang Xiao killed Deities Templar Elder Yao Fei, his name resounded throughout the Snow Blowing wind Continent, whereas now, it was seven Saint realm experts! Seven Deities Templar Elders!

  In the primary streets and small alleys of Snow Wind Continent, everyone was talking about this.

  Inside the Delicious Restaurant in Luo Tong Kingdom.

  “All of you didn’t start to see the scene that day, Young Noble Divine Dragon just waved his hands, then sou, sou, sou! Deities Templar Elders dropped one by one!” A certain family’s disciple recounted what happened to everyone around him, hands moving enthusiastically, spit flying everywhere, he was high-strung on enjoyment, as though those Deities Templar Elders were killed by him instead.

  This specific family disciple was registering to try out for palace guard selection on that day and was fortunate enough to survive the battle’s shock waves. Pausing here, the disciple gulped down a cup of Snow Moon Wines. A sense of complacency sprung in his center watching the surrounding crowd taking a look at him with anticipation.

  “What happened from then on?” A person couldn’t resist urging.

  “Afterwards, those Deities Templar Elders were pissed scared, how would they dare to fight anymore, most of them ran away using their tails between their legs!” This disciple ended it with boisterous laughter, saliva flying everywhere, getting on the crowd’s faces and clothes.

  “What about after that?” The same person clamored.

  “From then on, it’s finished!” That disciple shrugged his shoulder blades in reply.

  Scenes such as this one in Mouth watering Restaurant were replayed in many places throughout Snow Wind Continent’s kingdoms and empires.

  “That Huwang Xiao is able to control greater than a ten thousand Poison Corpse Scarabs? Isn’t that too heaven-defying? He already has the God Binding Ring, and Absolute Soul Pearl, now he even has an army of historic Poison Corpse Scarabs!”

  “When Huwang Xiao takes over the Asura’s Gate Sovereign position, fully controlling the Asura’s Gate, you will see a good show waiting for us when he goes against Deities Templar! Who knows which part will finish up victorious!”
