Asura Sovereign 5

by Shian Jeen

  Huwang Xiao’s eye narrowed. Saint realm’s space!

  When one advanced into the Saint realm, they were in a position to manipulate the Laws of Space and an individual space would open in the Saint realm warrior’s Qi Sea. Facing an enemy in battle, a Saint world expert could summon that space from the Qi Sea in to the real world, both for strike and protection.

  Zhao Chen viewed Huwang Xiao with mockery in his eyes, “Huwang Xiao, with this level of attack you expect to penetrate through my defense? I’ll open up your eye now to the real extent of the gap between a Saint realm and a Xiantian!” Exuberant fight qi surged profusely, the blue glow around the Saint world space before Zhao Chen shook the heavens, liberating a terrifying heat that enveloped Huwang Xiao.

  Prior to the heat wave arrived, Huwang Xiao felt like he was going to become ashes at any time, despite having the toughness of his physical body, it was difficult for him to truly withstand the scorching heat. If he really was strike by this hot influx, he would more than likely be converted into grey ashes.

  Huwang Xiao didn't dally or hesitate, with a leap, he vanished from the spot. At the same time that Huwang Xiao vanished, Qin Yang, Lifei, Jie Dong, and Fen Encheng also vanished where they stood.

  ....

  Occasions later, the sound of Zhao Chen’s enraged roar reverberated in the whole City of Myriad Gods.

  “Search, get that kid in front of me even if you have to flip over the whole Bedlam Lands! ” Blue flames danced wildly, turning everything inside the courtyard to ashes.

  Around 30 minutes later, on a little hill a hundred miles outside the City of Myriad Gods, Huwang Xiao’s group of five appeared.

  Although he previously broken through to Xiantian Tenth Order, Huwang Xiao knew that along with his current degree of strength he was far from having the ability to defeat a Saint realm expert. The previous struggle with Zhao Chen was only test to gauge where he stood against a genuine early Saint realm expert.

  Comparatively, in conditions of strength and defense, he was of a lower rung. Obviously, Huwang Xiao acquired the Space Concealment and Phantom Shadow martial abilities, Zhao Chen couldn’t really harm him if he truly wished to run. Furthermore, Huwang Xiao did not screen the Godly Xumi Artwork, soul transform with his twin dragon martial spirits nor bring out the Godly Mt. Xumi.

  He realized that he didn’t have enough strength for self-preservation if gossips about him having the Godly Xumi Art and Godly Mt. Xumi were made known.

  ‘There’s no other way but to break into the Saint world at the earliest opportunity.’ Huwang Xiao thought to himself. Once he broke to the Saint realm, defeating Zhao Chen was only a matter of the breath’s time.

  While Huwang Xiao was contemplating all these things, the four, Qin Yang, and the rest stood quietly behind him, but in truth, great waves of shock were hitting their hearts. Qin Yang at first assumed that, for the most part, Huwang Xiao’s cultivation would rise to maximum late-Xiantian Eighth Order from the last experience, never do he imagine that Huwang Xiao could battle with an early Saint world expert like Zhao Chen and still retreat safely!

  Recalling the scenes of Huwang Xiao battling Zhao Chen one after another, their emotions could hardly calm down even after a long time.

  This… had far exceeded their scope of imagination.

  “I asked you to investigate that Yao Fei, what’s the result? ” At this point, Huwang Xiao suddenly looked at them and asked.

  Before Huwang Xiao still left the town of Myriad Gods, he ordered the four to keep an eye on Yao Fei. Because of Zhao Chen and his men’s interference earlier, Huwang Xiao hadn’t had the opportunity to ask until this second.

  Qin Yang was pulled out of his trance, quickly stepping forward to answer, “Young Lord, according to our investigation, that Yao Fei headed to the Ghost Domain.”

  “Ghost Domain name?” Huwang Xiao’s brows creased into furrows, ‘What is this Yao Fei doing, going to the Ghost Website?’ Huwang Xiao knew of the Ghost Site, being one of the largest forbidden lands in the Bedlams, mainly occupied by ghosts and wicked spirits. The low level Xiantian warriors that joined the Ghost Area would only end up as nourishment for those spirits and evil spirits.

  Even some early Saint realm experts needed to think twice before venturing deeper into the Ghost Domains. In the deeper parts of Ghost Domain lived demons that had been alive for a number of thousand years.

  These evil spirits had evolved into demons, each one had earth-shaking power, some even much like high-levels of human Saint realm experts.

  “Replying to Young Lord, according to the rumours, a Ghost City would appear above the Ghost Domain name in the near future, this subordinate’s guess is that Yao Fei’s objective in the Ghost Website might be the Ghost City that is about to appear.” Lifei stepped up, reporting the information.

  “Ghost City?” Huwang Xiao was somewhat baffled, he had heard about the Ghost Site, but not about a Ghost City.

  “The Ghost City is a time old city left behind by one of the six ancient kings, named following the Ghost Ruler himself, appearing only once every thousand years. Inside, the Ghost City is rumored to store many rare treasures, from cultivation techniques, top battle skills, spirit pellets and elixirs, even magical weapons, armors, and the like crafted by divine level craftsmen through the historic era. Every time the Ghost City appears, warriors from all over the Bedlam Lands would hurry to seize this opportunity.” Qin Yang described.

  Huwang Xiao’s eyes flickered with anticipation. This emerged as a surprise for him, he didn’t expect that something like the Ghost City was left out by the Ghost King. During the ancient era, six historic kings ruled the planet earth, each one of them a tyrannical hegemony that covered one direction.

  Amongst the six ancient kings, the Ghost King was considered the most mysterious of all and the most impalpable, commanding a ghost army of billions; his own body was part human being, part ghost, and part God.

  “Interesting.” Huwang Xiao merely uttered a single term. Originally, he prepared to come back to Dark Demon City and start his move of conquering the Bloodstream River City as well as the encompassing cities. However, since he coincidentally chanced upon the appearance of the Ghost City, he should definitely take a look.

  “All of you go back to Blood River City first, I’ll make a trip to the Ghost Area. We’ll assault the Five Poison Cult when I return.” Huwang Xiao commanded solemnly.

  The four of these dared not disobey Huwang Xiao’s order, each answered with the utmost respect.

  Using a step, Huwang Xiao’s silhouette disappeared in front of them in a blur.

  “Say, do you think the Young Lord is a Heaven God’s reincarnation?” Sending Huwang Xiao away with her gaze, Lifei suddenly spoke.

  There was a vintage legend in the Martial Spirit World that every ten thousand years, a human reincarnation of a Heaven God seems. Qin Yang and the other three exchanged a glance.

  “Why don't we go.” Qin Yang said after some time. Hence, the band of four flew off in the direction of Bloodstream River City.

  Ch.308

  The Ghost Domain was located in the northern elements of the Bedlam Lands.

  Departing from the City of Myriad Gods to the Ghost Domain, the distance wasn’t that far. Two weeks later, Huwang Xiao arrived at the border of the Ghost Domains.

  Gazing in to the Ghost Domain’s land, visible greenish mists permeated the environment, fleeting, and laced between the green mists were gray and black colored energies.

  A peculiar loss of life aura washed over him.

  Huwang Xiao quickly initiated his fight qi, forming a protective barrier around himself. Piercing through the heavy death aura before him, he went inside the levels of green mist.

  Inside this Ghost Domain, there wasn’t a ray of sunlight, as far as the eye could see, every direction was covered in a twilight darkness.

  Huwang Xiao continued to make his way deeper into the domain, and occasionally, strange shrieks and noises entered his ears.<
br />
  “Gua~gua~~!” “Guagua!” In a dead tree up ahead, several dark crows flapped their wings and flew away.

  One hour later, Huwang Xiao landed at the edge of a green lake. The color of the water was extremely green, so much that it made an eerie sense creep up one’s spine. On the lake's surface, bubbles would float up from its depth, popping and launching devil qi in to the air.

  Although there is no sun in the Ghost Domain name, there was a blood-red moon hanging in the sky. Beneath its sanguine moonlight, the lake's surface reflected a blood-red shine. At the advantage of the lake, a plant that was neither too big nor too small grew, bearing three fruits. The stalk of the plant was black as ink, yet the fruits it bore was an opulent gold, emanating an exotic fragrance.

  ‘I didn’t expect to find a Detoxification Fruit here.’ A sparkle shone in Huwang Xiao’s eye and he raised his foot, stepping towards the herb.

  The Detoxification Fruits could resolve a hundred types of poison, it was an extremely rare spirit fruit.

  However, an entirely greenish-black evil creature emerged from the lake, jaws opened wide, revealing sharp pointed teeth, it pounced on Huwang Xiao just like a brutal predator. Even before its jaw got close, a revolting rotten smell polluted Huwang Xiao’s environment.

  Viewing the creature arriving at him, a light flickered in Huwang Xiao’s hand and the Blades of Asura slashed out numerous blade lights, disappearing under the sanguine moonlight.

  A strange sounding miserable scream rang out in the lake. Starting from its mouth, the bad creature was split into countless parts, falling back into the lake, splashing water all over.

  This evil creature was a common existence in the Ghost Domain, called a Devil Sprite. To the average Xiantian warrior, it might be slightly troublesome, but to Huwang Xiao it had not been a problem in any way.

  Picking the three Detoxification Fruits from the plant, Huwang Xiao threw all three into the Asura Band and got out the complete map he bought when he first arrived in the town of Myriad Gods.

  Each and every time the Ghost City appeared, it would be situated in close proximity to the Evil Spirits Mountain, thus Huwang Xiao planned to speed over.

  “Evil Spirits Hill.” Around the map, Huwang Xiao managed to pinpoint its location quickly. Calculating roughly, to reach the Evil Spirits Mountain from his current spot would only take three to four times at his velocity, whereas there have been still seven to eight days until Ghost City appear. There was ample time and he is at no hurry, therefore he decided to first rest before continuing onward.

  Surveying the area, Huwang Xiao’s flickered into a blur, appearing on a far more veiled spot on top of a historical tree and sat down. Then, he had taken out the Jasper Lotus elixir he got from the Eminent Holiness space and swallowed it down.

  Huwang Xiao took a few hours to complete refining the Jasper Lotus.

  Just occasions after Huwang Xiao opened his eyes, the wind whistled through the air. Turning over to look, Huwang Xiao noticed two middle-aged men in blue robes approaching nearer from afar.

  “This time, we really made a bountiful harvest on our trip to the Ghost Domain!”

  “Haha, you’re right. Once we brothers refine this Globe Dragon egg, our chances of breaking through to the Saint realm would increase to nine-tenths!”

  Their voices carried by the wind reached Huwang Xiao’s ears.

  Earth Dragon egg! Judging from these two men’s conversation, it seems they got their practical an Globe Dragon egg!

  The Dragon Race had become extinct long ago, Huwang Xiao didn’t expect a dragon egg could have survived until now.

  A dragon egg contained genuine dragon essence, and this natural dragon essence was not something the religious energy seafood Huwang Xiao refined could compare with.

  If…! Huwang Xiao’s center raced wildly, immediately standing up. With a jump, he was already preventing in front of the two men.

  “Who?!” Chen Naiming and Du Xinjie were startled at the sudden appearance of the son before them, quickly gathering battle qi, preparing for battle.

  “Hand over the Earth Dragon egg!” Huwang Xiao didn't spend your time blabbing nonsense, directly stating his purpose.

  Chen Naiming and Du Xinjie’s eyes narrowed. Watching longer, both of them pointed out that Huwang Xiao was merely a mid-Xiantian Tenth Order, both instantly relaxed, breathing out in alleviation.

  “Your mother, I thought ‘who could it be’, but it’s merely a small mid-Xiantian Tenth Order.” Chen Naiming laughed at Huwang Xiao, however in the next minute, his expression switched grim: “Brat, what did you say just now?”

  A small mid-Xiantian Tenth Order actually dared to rob two half-Saints?

  Du Xinjie snickered sinisterly, “Just now this brat said he wants our Earth Dragon egg.” His tone of voice was dense with ridicule.

  Both men once more burst out laughing.

  “You’re right, we indeed have an Earth Dragon egg.” Chen Naiming stared at Huwang Xiao, sneering, he said, “Brat, are you sure you are strong enough to take it from us?”

  “Why talk a lot non-sense with this brat, get rid of him and be finished with it.” Du Xinjie said.

  “No rush. We’re idle anyways, we could spend some time to play with this little brat.” Chen Naiming said to Huwang Xiao, “Little brat, if you kneel down obediently, eat up that pile of beast dung, and make an oath to serve us brothers, I might be in a good enough mood to spare your life. Perhaps, I would even be generous enough to give you some Globe Dragon eggshells.”

  A finger pointed at a sizable of dark dung not far away, not knowing the type of evil beast or creature it originated from. An extremely large pile, reaching to an adult’s waist.

  Du Xinjie laughed heartily, “I’m only afraid the planet earth Dragon eggshell is too hard for you and you can’t digest it.”

  An Earth Dragon’s eggshell was harder than a ten thousand year cold iron. Imagining the scene where in fact the brat in front of him gnawed miserably on a piece of Globe Dragon eggshell, Du Xinjie couldn’t help laughing.

  However, as he laughed merrily, a blurry shadow shot away, and Huwang Xiao found its way to front side of him in an instant. Du Xinjie was startled, a cool light shown in his pupils and the next thing he knew was the icy pain coming from his neck.

  Du Xinjie touched his neck, feeling the warm blood seeping through his fingers.

  “You!!” He stared at Huwang Xiao wide-eyed in disbelief.

  The gaze in Huwang Xiao’s eyes was phlegmatic, his palm landed a strike on Du Xinjie’s chest at lightning speed, sending him crashing to the bottom a few meters away, falling exactly on that waist-high pile of unidentified dung. His hip and legs twitched in the air a few times before losing all actions.

  Huwang Xiao shifted his attention on Chen Naiming: “It’s your turn now.”

  Only at this moment did Chen Naiming recover from his shock after watching Du Xinjie being attacked, he was unable to hide the shock and trepidation in his eyes.

  “Little brother, no! Senior!” Chen Naiming blurted out in a stuttering tone of voice. However, he merely managed these few feeble words before Huwang Xiao’s fist connected, burying him in the same waist-high pile of dung.

  Huwang Xiao looked icily at both bodies.

  It didn’t take long for Huwang Xiao to find the spatial rings of the two men, and in Chen Naiming’s spatial band, there was a giant egg that was as high as two different people stacked head to feet. On the top of egg were rows and rows of dense mystical runic patterns. Huwang Xiao sensed the terrifying energy contained inside the egg.

  Ch.309

  Looking at the gigantic egg, Huwang Xiao’s eyes shone brightly. Without a doubt, this was the Earth Dragon egg.

  Earth Dragon egg, ah! This was an egg that included all the real essence of the dragon!

  Huwang Xiao was excited, after refining the true dragon essence of the egg, there is a high chance he'd break to top late-Xiantian Tenth Order! Maybe even higher...!

&n
bsp; Saint realm!

  It took some time before Huwang Xiao calmed down, and a tiny regret set in. If he had thought of it previously, he wouldn’t have killed both men so quickly, he could have asked them where they found this Globe Dragon egg. If it was inside an ancient dragon’s cave, there might be other good things lying around.

  Afterwards, Huwang Xiao left the region after dealing with the two bodies.

  Now, he needed a safe place to refine the real essence inside this Earth Dragon egg. As for that so-called Ghost City that was about to appear, it was thrown to the trunk of his mind.

  Each time the Ghost City appears, it would stay open for just one month’s time before vanishing again, making a move after he refined the dragon essence still wouldn't be too late. Furthermore, Ghost City’s appearance always triggered fierce and tragic competition for treasures, therefore Huwang Xiao was in no hurry to hurry over.

  Half an hour later, Huwang Xiao drilled into a huge tree bark hole halfway up a hill. The diameter of the tree needed at least ten visitors to completely hug it, thick foliage and thick branches that conceals well the opening in the bark. Moreover, the hole was twenty meters above floor, not so easy to see.

  Huwang Xiao appeared around, the natural tree opening was spacious enough to accommodate fifteen people. There is an adult’s height between your floor and the exit, thus individuals outside wouldn’t notice anyone seated inside.

  Inside the tree hole, Huwang Xiao summoned the Godly Mt. Xumi, came into the Xumi Temple hall and brought out the planet earth Dragon egg.

  The shell of an Earth Dragon egg was harder than steel, to absorb its true essence through the eggshell was unbelievably difficult, not to mention extremely slow. However, this difficulty only applied to other people, not Huwang Xiao, since he previously the 1000 Beast Cauldron inside the Linglong Treasure Pagoda!
