Gu Wen’s silhouette knelt down amongst the other Domain name Leaders, with proper etiquette and respect that remaining no space for criticism, but Huwang Xiao’s sudden strike delivered Gu Wen soaring out.
This abrupt action scared the other Domain Leaders.
“Huwang Xiao, you!” Gu Wen climbed from the ground, glowering at Huwang Xiao, surprised and furious at exactly the same time.
“Huwang Xiao?” Huwang Xiao satirized, “You think I don’t know what you’re wanting to scheme in your heart? Kneeling down to me was just an work, fake loyalty. In your center, you’re plotting how to defer to Deities Templar, spying for them at night and scheming how to destroy me?”
Huwang Xiao’s spiritual force got improved tremendously, both the Ancient Puppetry Artwork and Soul Mandate acquired reached the fifth level. So long as the other side’s religious force was weaker than his, Huwang Xiao could read the other’s thoughts.
Gu Wen’s face flushed a deep red hearing Huwang Xiao’s words. Showing anger, Gu Wen shouted, “Huwang Xiao, this is just an excuse for you, you know that I is Sovereign Chen’s confidante, that’s why you are using such an excuse to eliminate me!” Then he converted around to the rest Website Leaders, seeking to incite a furor, “Everyone, you’ve seen it for yourselves, even if we send to Huwang Xiao sincerely, he will still kill us! It would be better to combat him for a way out, the chances might even be bigger than this!”
Indeed, another three Site Market leaders stood up from the group after being ‘persuaded’ by Gu Wen, glaring at Huwang Xiao with furious eye.
“Huwang Xiao, you try to wipe out our brothers using a flimsy reason, you’re not worthy to be our Asura’s Gate Sovereign!”
“That’s right, you’re not deserving!”
“We’ll fight you!” All three of them started to attack Huwang Xiao with vicious movements.
Just when Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were going to act, Huwang Xiao’s body shot forward at rapid quickness, and six arms emerged from his back. All six hands struck out with the Godly Xumi Art at the same time.
Struck by the Godly Xumi Artwork, all three Area Leaders wailed painfully as their bodies were thrown back again, crashing down at a corner of the Asura Square.
Watching six arms materializing from Huwang Xiao’s back, all the Domain Leaders were stunned.
What kind of battle skill was this?!
Huwang Xiao told Chen Tianqi about the Godly Mt. Xumi before he died, however, he blocked the outside space. Due to that, he and Chen Tianqi were the only ones who understood the contents of the short conversation. non-e of the Asura’s Gate Domains Leaders had any idea about the Godly Mt. Xumi…
At this point, Gu Wen suddenly leaped up, wanting to flee at the fastest speed, but Huwang Xiao had expected this from the beginning. Thus, when Gu Wen leaped into the air, an Asura Demon Claw slammed down on him, followed by ten thousand howling evil spirits, impressive down at Gu Wen’s back again and sending him right down to the ground.
Huwang Xiao walked over to Gu Wen, stopping right in front of him, but he did not kill him. Instead, he sealed Gu Wen’s Sea Qi, then a palm hit sent Asura Qi into Gu Wen’s body.
Chen Tianqi had the bright luminance energy and wasn't afraid of the Asura qi’s corrosive effect entering his body, but this Gu Wen wasn’t so lucky. Almost instantly, a desperate cry came from Gu Wen, trashing and rolling on the floor as Asura Qi spread to all of his body, the feeling was worse when compared to a million ants gnawing on his flesh. Strong as his will was, he couldn’t endure this level of torture.
“Huwang, Huwang Xiao, get rid of me, me, wipe out me!” Gu Wen pleaded in a broken tone of voice. With his Qi Sea covered, he was powerless to blow himself up, he couldn’t pass away even if he wished to.
“Destroy you?” Huwang Xiao sneered, “You admit that you did think about conspiring with Deities Templar?”
This time, Gu Wen nodded with any hesitation, “I admit, I admit, kill me, kill me!” His face was distorted with excruciating pain. The three Domain Leaders that attacked Huwang Xiao based on Gu Wen’s instigation appeared ugly at his confession.
“Eliminate you?” Huwang Xiao’s cool voice sounded, “Since you ask for it, I shall fulfill your wish.”
A sense of deep relief washed over Gu Wen hearing Huwang Xiao’s reply. To the current him, death was the best salvation.
Within the next moment, numerous Poison Corpse Scarabs arrived on Gu Wen’s body, increasingly more, covering his entire body. Fear crept up his face and screams more horrible than before tore through his neck.
The remaining Domain name Leaders grew paler by the next watching everything unfold, even the way they viewed Huwang Xiao changed.
In their eyes, Huwang Xiao was an Asura that broke out from hell. Initially, they thought that Huwang Xiao would bestow Gu Wen with an instant, merciful death, but he…
It didn’t take long, Gu Wen’s cries subsided and completely stopped, while Huwang Xiao viewed at all of those other Domain Leaders.
Not daring to face Huwang Xiao, all of them had their mind lowered.
“I’m a person that deals with reward and punishment clearly, those that contributed merits to Asura’s Gate will be rewarded! Whereas those who betrayed Asura’s Gate will finish up just like him!” Huwang Xiao’s frosty tone of voice reverberated in the rectangular, a finger directed at Gu Wen’s remains.
The Domain Market leaders continued keeping their minds down.
“Where did Chen Tianqi detain the Elders?” Huwang Xiao asked.
“Replying to Sovereign, Chen Tianqi experienced all the Elders locked up behind the mountain’s sea prison!” One of the Domain Leaders stepped forward, reporting to Huwang Xiao with a respectful manner.
Huwang Xiao nodded.
Then, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the Website Market leaders led just how, releasing all of the Asura’s Gate Elders that were imprisoned at the back mountain’s sea prison.
Despite that, by enough time Huwang Xiao brought these Elders out, many of them were inflicted with unimaginable tortures by Chen Tianqi and Deities Templar, so much that hardly a fully intact person remained; some got their tongues cut out, others acquired their eyeballs dug out, not to mention their Qi Seas and meridians wasted.
Seeing the tragic state of these Elders, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Huwang Xiao all burned with wrath.
“Li Molin, you stinky bitch, there will be a day when I get my hands on you, I’ll have you raped and then killed, killed and raped again!” Zhang Fu’s straightforward character couldn’t keep and roared at the top of his lungs. The extent of his fury was apparent to all or any.
Huwang Xiao took out the many ten thousand years of age elixirs from the Asura Ring, feeding them to the Elders one at a time, helping them heal their accidental injuries. Even so, the number of Elders that had their tongues cut off and eyeballs dug out were unlucky, those body parts cannot regrow.
On the other hand, the message about the battle on the Asura Square, about Deities Templar miserably fleeing with Li Molin among them and Chen Tianqi being killed by Huwang Xiao, pass on just like a hurricane to every part of Starcloud Continent.
It didn’t take long to travel to Snow Blowing wind Continent, Ten Directions Continent, or to professionals of the Bedlam Lands.
Another great tremor struck the Martial Spirit World.
“Huwang Xiao killed Chen Tianqi with his own hands? His strength actually reached that degree, that’s too terrifying, right?! Chen Tianqi was a maximum late-Fifth Order Saint realm!”
“Those Poison Corpse Scarabs can in fact evolve!”
“Huwang Xiao has taken over the Asura’s Gate, he’s the recognized Sovereign, this will be a large headache to Deities Templar, I question what will Deities Templar do next!”
Ch.412
The passage of time flowed quickly.
Five times had passed since the fight on the Asura Square. In these five days, Huwang Xiao healed all the accidents which could be healed on the Asura’s G
ate Elders.
In the fantastic Asura Hall.
Huwang Xiao sat in the throne seat at the guts of the great hall as the Site Leaders and Elders stood in two rows before him, whereas Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu stood beside the throne on the still left and right side.
“Greet the Sovereign!” Zhao Shu’s sonorous voice rang clear in the fantastic hall.
Subsequently, the Asura’s Gate Domain Leaders and Elders knelt down, performing a ceremonious salutation toward Huwang Xiao: “Greeting the Sovereign, Sovereign is invincible throughout!”
Both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu performed the same salute with utmost respect, however, they bowed deeply instead of kneeling.
Huwang Xiao looked at them for a short second and then signaled everyone to rise.
When everyone was on their foot, Huwang Xiao scanned the group of Area Leaders assembled before him, “All of you, lower the barrier to your consciousness, I'll brand a spiritual mark in your soul sea.”
All the Domains Leaders’ faces ashen instantly.
“Spiritual mark!”
Naturally, these Domain Leaders had heard of spiritual marks, but they didn't expect Huwang Xiao to have learned the method of spiritual branding.
Each of the Domain name Market leaders’ expressions entered Huwang Xiao’s eyes, a cold sneer sounded inwardly; no doubt, he wouldn’t believe that these Domain Leaders were able to be absolutely faithful to him in such a short time, however, once a spiritual mark was branded in their spirit sea, things would a different turn altogether.
These Website Leaders would not dare to have any treacherous intentions. This was a must, for Huwang Xiao had to have the Asura’s Gate fully under his control.
Huwang Xiao watched the Site Leaders coldly, as long as one of these dared to speak up in objection, he'd execute that person on the spot without hesitation.
Much silence enveloped the great hall to the idea that each of these could hear their own breathing drawing loudly in their own ears.
“I’m willing to open my soul sea for Sovereign to brand a religious mark!” After struggling and contemplating the problem internally, finally one of the Area Leaders knelt down once again in submission.
Seeing that there was a first person, one by one, the other Domains Leaders knelt down, showing their willingness to let Huwang Xiao brand their spirit seas. It goes without saying that every one of the Domain Leaders was aware of the fact that resistance would only lead to death, just like Gu Wen.
Whether they were truly willing or otherwise, all the Domain name Leaders opened their soul seas and Huwang Xiao proceeded to brand a spiritual mark in each of them easily; when all was done, Huwang Xiao finally experienced relief.
Obviously, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the Asura’s Gate Elders were not subjected to the same requirement of having a soul mark top quality in their soul seas. Huwang Xiao was well alert to Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s absolute loyalty, and despite the cruel torture that these Asura’s Gate Elders were put through by Chen Tianqi and Deities Templar, non-e of them turned to the other part, their devotion toward Asura’s Gate was clear for all to see.
, Huwang Xiao requested Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu to announce some of the changes to the sect rules he had made. Some of the rules were abolished by Huwang Xiao, for example; the hailing of ‘Sovereign is invincible throughout’ every time the disciples greeted him.
Huwang Xiao also made some new guidelines, one of them being, upper authorities or disciples that betrayed the Asura’s Gate would end up as Poison Corpse Scarabs’ food.
After Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu read out Huwang Xiao’s new edict, Huwang Xiao inquired about the Asura’s Gate overall situation, and also had the Website Market leaders and Elders statement the events happening in the territories and branches under their jurisdiction. When all Domain Leaders and Elders were completed using their reports, Huwang Xiao gained a better understanding the distribution of the Asura’s Gate forces and territories.
Currently, the territories under the Asura’s Gate’s governance numbered at thirty-six oblasts, including the Central Oblast. There were seven branch divisions in the Central Oblast, while the thirty-five branches in the outer oblasts were each governed with a Domain Leader.
The Asura’s Gate’s great hall was built on the peak of the Heavenly Sky Phoenix Hill. Around the other peaks, there have been thirty aspect halls, such as the Medicine Pellet Hall, Punishment Hall, Technique Inheritance Hall, Martial Sparring Hall, and so on. These thirty-two halls were under the Elders’ supervision.
This is the rough map of Asura’s Gate authority distribution.
But, from the Site Leaders’ reviews, Huwang Xiao noticed that within the thirty-six oblasts under Asura’s Gate control, there were numerous big and small family and sect forces, and not all of their hearts were absolutely sincere and loyal towards Asura’s Gate.
There is a complex web of connections tying the bigger family forces with the Cosmos God Cult, Distinct Void Door, and White Phoenix House amongst the other twelve super forces on Starcloud Continent, which in a way encouraged the attitude of not placing much importance on the Asura’s Gate.
Some of those big families even cooperated with the Cosmos God Cult, Distinct Void Door, and White Phoenix House to suppress the Asura’s Gate branch authority, especially in these few years of Huwang Xiao’s Get better at, Ren Wokuang’s disappearance. Lately, there have been even signs of rebelling against the Asura’s Gate branch from those big family members.
A total of fifteen big families spearheaded this resistance.
By the time the Domain Leaders finished their reports, a frosty expression hung on Huwang Xiao’s face.
Zhao Shu spoke at this point, “Sovereign, the Cosmos God Cult’s Sovereign, and the Old Sovereign always bore a vintage grudge and the relationship between us has never been good. Ever since the news of Old Sovereign’s disappearance spread out, the Cosmos God Cult has been suppressing our Asura’s Gate more and more over the years. This is the primary reason why these big households dare to act so blatantly. In fact, our Asura’s Gate used to rule over fifty-two oblasts, but ever since the Old Sovereign went missing…” Zhao Shu’s tone of voice trailed off at this time.
The unspoken meaning hung clear in the air.
The Asura’s Gate initially had fifty-two oblasts on Starcloud Continent, however now only thirty-six oblasts remained under their governance! These ‘lacking’ sixteen oblasts without exclusion all fell into Cosmos God Cult’s hands.
A clear gleam flickered across Huwang Xiao’s eye.
Zhang Fu added, “Sovereign, there is another matter this subordinate wishes to are accountable to Sovereign.”
“Speak.” Huwang Xiao stated.
Zhang Fu continued respectfully, “On our Starcloud Continent, every hundredth year, there's a Grand Martial Exchange. So far, this Grand Martial Exchange has taken place thirteen times. This is an event kept collectively by the twelve very causes of Starcloud Continent.”
“Oh, Grand Martial Exchange?” Huwang Xiao’s interest was stoked as he viewed Zhang Fu.
“Yes, it is so, Sovereign. Every year of the Grand Martial Exchange, all the twelve super makes’ Sovereigns, Patriarchs, and Cult Leaders would reshuffle the rating within the twelve pushes, this subordinate is concerned that time around, the Cosmos God Cult Leader would take this opportunity to harm Sovereign.” Zhang Fu said full of worry.
Zhao Shu’s manifestation mirrored Zhang Fu, “The participation of all twelve forces is compulsory. Furthermore, in the Grand Martial Exchange, the participants are not allowed to use outside aid.” This was Zhao Shu’s main concern.
Not permitted to use outdoors help meant that Huwang Xiao’s wouldn’t be able to use the Poison Corpse Scarabs. Only counting on his own power, he wasn’t the Cosmos God Cult Leader’s challenger.
Not forgetting, apart from the Cosmos God Cult’s Leader, if the Distinct Void Door Sovereign or the White Phoenix House Lord wanted to kill Huwang Xiao, it could as easy as snapping the
ir fingers.
Huwang Xiao frowned, “How long till the arriving Grand Martial Exchange?”
“It has been eighty-seven years from the last Grand Martial Exchange.” Zhao Shu answered.
Meaning there were still thirteen years until the next Grand Martial Exchange!
Thirteen years! The frown on Huwang Xiao’s forehead grew deeper.
This Grand Martial Exchange really jumped out of nowhere. Thirteen years, the time was too tight!
For Saint realm experts, thirteen years was only the blink of an eye.
At the moment, Huwang Xiao was merely a Fourth Order Saint realm, attempting to step into Tenth Order and above Saint realm in a brief thirteen years was nothing more than a fool’s daydream.
Huwang Xiao waved his hand, dismissing the people from the fantastic hall.
The night descended quietly.
Standing underneath the silvery moonlight, Huwang Xiao was pondering a way to reach beyond the Tenth Order Saint world within thirteen years’ time. In the final end, he could only place his hopes on the twelve primordial divine dragon bodies.
If he could refine those twelve primordial divine dragons, perhaps he would have a good chance at success in advancing beyond Tenth Order Saint realm.
Ch.413
But, to refine the 12 primordial divine dragon body, he previously to first find Dragon God Grass.
If he refined them with no Dragon God Grass and dragon substance crystals to reduce the violent energy, not only would he be risking his own life, the effect achieved would be the lowest. It would reach, for the most part, only two-tenths overall.
If that was the case, even if he successfully refined all twelve primordial divine dragons, the highest Huwang Xiao could reach was Seventh Order Saint world.
‘Dragon God Lawn!’ Huwang Xiao uttered under his breath. Finding Dragon God Grass became the most crucial matter, it had to be done no matter what!
Then, a thought struck Huwang Xiao, both Chen Tianqi and the Area Market leaders were also at the Old Dragon Clan ruins, perhaps they were able to find a stalk or two of Dragon God Lawn?
