Asura Sovereign VI

by Shian Jeen

  Despite being the Yao Family’s Ancestor and having advanced into the Saint realm for many years, cultivating until the Sixth Order Saint realm, how could Yao Shan be Zhao Shu’s opponent? Hence, he ended up just like Yao Fei, defeated in a few breaths’ time.

  Huwang Xiao did not immediately pull out the Eminent Holiness Halberd after it pierced through Yao Fei’s torso. His left wrist twisted the halberd’s long handle and the Eminent Holiness Halberd rotated at high speed, like a drill, grinding Yao Fei’s internal organs into pieces.

  The Eminent Holiness Halberd kept rotating, Yao Fei felt excruciating pain exploding in every part of his body, raw anguished howls rose from his throat. The Rising Sun Castellan, Wang Cong, turned white as a sheet watching Yao Fei’s tragic situation, cold sweat soaked through his robe.

  The surrounding experts felt cold shivers in their hearts watching Yao Fei’s miserable appearance. Looking at Huwang Xiao, there was only fear and horror in their eyes.

  After shattering Yao Fei’s internal organs, Huwang Xiao pulled out the Eminent Holiness Halberd and Yao Fei stumbled backward, out of balance. A large hole could be seen in his chest, yet Yao Fei was still moving. He glared at Huwang Xiao as he steadied his feet, his bloodshot eyes screaming for murder, his hatred took over any fear of death.

  Yao Fei’s hand reached up, wiping away the blood flowing from his mouth, grinning in a disturbing manner, “Huwang Xiao, you think you can save Li Lu by killing me? I know you planned to rescue Li Lu during the Deities Templar’s next disciple selection, but let me tell you, you can never save Li Lu as long as you live, never ever!” Yao Fei’s face was distorted with menace.

  “Is that so?” Huwang Xiao remained unmoved.

  Yao Fei sneered, regardless of Huwang Xiao’s reaction, “To tell you the truth, Li Lu is already our Deities Templar’s Holy Maiden, the successor to the Temple Preceptor’s position!”

  A tiny frown appeared on Huwang Xiao’s eyebrows, Ao Baixue uttered the very same words before. This was also the very thing that had been worrying him in recent days.

  ‘Li Lu probably already has…?!’

  Huwang Xiao strode toward Yao Fei, stopping ten meters away from him with the Eminent Holiness Halberd readied in his hand as his frigid voice sounded: “Last words?”

  Yao Fei snickered, “Be arrogant and audacious all you want now, when the time comes, you will still kneel before Deities Templar, begging for mercy. No one who goes against Deities Templar has a good ending!”

  Huwang Xiao didn’t speak another word. He leaped up, the Eminent Holiness Halberd in his hand thrust out, aimed accurately between Yao Fei’s eyebrows.

  A blinding black light flashed in front of Yao Fei and a half-meter wide, one-meter tall black-colored space appeared in front of him, acting as a shield. This was Yao Fei’s Saint realm space.

  But to Yao Fei’s aghast, the long halberd in Huwang Xiao’s hand pierced right through his Saint realm space in the blink of an eye, straight to his temple.

  Huwang Xiao exerted a little more force in his right hand, propelling the Eminent Holiness Halberd deeper into Yao Fei’s brain, then directed the true essence fire along the halberd to enter Yao Fei’s consciousness and incinerate his soul.

  Yao Fei stiffened wholly, his eyes grew dull as the light left his pupils.

  “Fei’er!” Yao Shan’s heart-wrenching cry reverberated in the air.

  Yao Fei carried all of Yao Family’s hope. With much difficulty, Yao Fei finally broke into the Saint realm. Watching Yao Fei’s lifeless body tumbling down, it was akin to watching the Yao Family’s future collapse right in front of his eyes.

  The crowd was stupefied witnessing Yao Fei’s death.

  “Go!” At this time, one of the Deities Templar Elder fighting with Duan Ren’s group shouted to his comrades. Things had gone too far beyond their expectation, and if they didn’t leave now, it might be too late to leave later.

  “Keep them here, not one of them leaves!” Huwang Xiao bellowed.

  But exactly at this moment, a green ray of light arrived, tearing through space, landing right in front of Huwang Xiao.

  “Young Lord, careful!” Zhao Shu dashed in front of Huwang Xiao, forcefully blocking the green ray of light.

  Then, another burst of blinding light appeared on the scene. When it disappeared, a beautiful woman entered their sightㅡLi Molin.

  When Li Molin arrived, her face was terribly grim seeing Yao Fei’s body lying close by.

  Ch.354

  Li Molin retrieved her gaze from Yao Fei’s body, her cold eyes turning to Huwang Xiao, spitting each word clearly, “Huwang, Xiao, Long!!” Monstrous killing intent soared to the sky, a terrifying energy wave whirled around Li Molin, forming a violent tempest.

  Out of nowhere, nine gigantic tails fanned out behind Li Molin, waving gently in the air. In the next moment, they spun sharply toward Huwang Xiao, aiming to kill. But before Li Molin’s nine gigantic tails could reach Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu appeared between them in a flicker, his powerful fist punching at Li Molin’s nine tails. A fierce storm of fist imprints successfully blocked her attack.

  “Get lost!” A chilling light glinted from Li Molin’s eyes.

  Zhao Shu issued a disdainful sneer, “Smelly b*tch, the one that should get lost is you.”

  Smelly b*tch?! Li Molin’s actions lagged for a moment, then she went berserk! Zhao Shu actually called her smelly b*itch just now?! Smelly b*tch!!

  Li Molin was enraged. An enormous nine-tailed fox appeared above her head and she soul transformed in an instant. Nine different colored dots emerged at the tip of her eyebrows, matching her colorful nine tails, both of her hands transformed into fox claws.

  “Die—!!” Li Molin’s claw slammed down on Zhao Shu.

  Zhao Shu scoffed. Summoning his martial spirit, he soul transformed and dove into battle against Li Molin.

  Li Molin was a powerful character. With her arrival, and joining the battle against Zhao Shu, it greatly alleviated the immense pressure on Yao Shan and the three Deities Templar Elders.

  Duan Ren’s opponent was Yao Shan, while Huwang Xiao, giant ghost Feng Yang, and the other two Duanren Institute Honorable Saint Masters fought with the three Deities Templar Elders.

  The weakest among the three Deities Templar Elder was a Second Order Saint realm, which was Huwang Xiao and Feng Yang’s target.

  At one point, that Elder sent Feng Yang staggering back with a powerful punch, then immediately turned his attention to Huwang Xiao. Looking at Huwang Xiao, he spoke coldly, “Huwang Xiao, you indeed surprised me, to be able to kill a Saint realm warrior while being a measly Xiantian!”

  Huwang Xiao showed no expression at the compliment.

  Watching Huwang Xiao’s indifferent expression, not putting him in his eyes, anger rose from his heart, “Huwang Xiao, I refuse to believe that a small Xiantian like you is my, a Second Order Saint realm expert’s opponent!”

  Even though Huwang Xiao had killed Yao Fei in front of them, he did not display his Saint realm power in public, therefore this Deities Templar Elder and the crowd still assumed that Huwang Xiao was just a Xiantian realm warrior. Regardless, no one would believe that Huwang Xiao, who was still a peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order warrior half a year ago, could break through to Saint realm just half a year later.

  “Really?” Huwang Xiao shrugged.

  “Come and die!” The Deities Templar Elder hollered, aiming a killer punch at Huwang Xiao. He closed the distance between them in a blink.

  At this precise moment, Huwang Xiao acted, but he did not dodge. His momentum broke out like a wild horse, sweeping out in four directions, no longer concealed. The sudden outbreak of scary momentum attracted the attention of the people around.

  Even that Deities Templar Elder looked dumbfounded.

  “Saint, Saint realm!” He gawked at Huwang Xiao, his lips opened and closed but no more words came.

  “Saint realm!” The surrounding experts exclaimed as if a dynamite fell in their midst.
Shock, incredulity, and disbelief took over the crowd.

  Duan Ren, who was battling Yao Shan, also looked over, the shock on his face the same as others; Huwang Xiao actually broke into the Saint realm! He was with Huwang Xiao the entire journey from Duanren Empire, but he was in the dark about Huwang Xiao’s current strength.

  This revelation was definitely a shocker for the Yao Family’s Ancestor, Yao Shan. This... was he still human?! Half a year ago still a peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order, and then six months later, Saint Realm?!

  Not even Li Molin could disguise the shock in her eyes, but she recovered quickly, hardening her determination to exterminate Huwang Xiao.

  Before the eyes that were looking at him with shock, surprise, and disbelief, Huwang Xiao attacked. His fist flew toward the Deities Templar Elder. Jolted by the sudden sense of danger, the Elder reacted by reflex, lifting his arm to block.

  Bang! A loud collision resounded, that Elder felt his arm giving out for a split second and he was forced back several steps. When he managed to steady himself, there was an ugly look on his face.

  “You!” Just as he wanted to speak, the figure in front of him shifted. Huwang Xiao followed with another attack, golden fist imprints bloomed in the air, some intangible, some solid, profound and mysterious.

  “This is… Great Void Divine Fist?!” Though shocked, the Elder countered with a fist as well.

  “Great Void Divine Fist!”

  “The Great Void Divine World’s Great Void Divine Fist? Huwang Xiao actually knows this battle skill!”

  Another commotion swept through the crowd. With the news of the Ancient Dragon Clan ruin in the Origin Forest, experts from different parts of the three continents had rushed over, including some Saint realm experts among them, thus it wasn’t strange for some to have heard of the Great Void Divine Fist.

  After the Great Void Divine Fist punched out, Huwang Xiao’s fist stretched out in a palm, launching another attack. A palm imprint whistled through space and golden rings extended out in layers, emitting a mysterious power. The experts watching in the distance sensed the changes in the air, as if the surrounding space became stagnant.

  “What technique is this?!” A Saint realm expert from Ten Directions Continent exclaimed.

  “It… it looks like the God Binding Palm?” Another person spoke yet dared not be sure.

  “God Binding Palm?” Some were baffled, obviously many haven't heard of this God Binding Palm.

  “The God Binding Palm is the Heavenly Treasure God Binding Ring’s heritage skill!” The earlier warrior explained. At the mention of the God Binding Ring, he couldn’t contain the lilt of excitement in his voice.

  “God Binding Ring? The same God Binding Ring on the Heavenly Treasure List, ranked sixth?!” Someone suddenly blurted.

  “That’s right, it’s the sixth ranked Heavenly Treasure, God Binding Ring!” The voice rang clearly, spreading far.

  Each Heavenly Treasure possessed incredible power, especially the top ten Heavenly Treasures that contained mysterious earth-shattering power. Now, Huwang Xiao displayed the heritage skill God Binding Palm from the Heavenly Treasure God Binding Ring, how could the crowd control their excitement and awe!

  From Li Molin’s expression, it was clear that she was also astounded.

  At this time, Huwang Xiao pointed a finger and gray fog appeared out of nowhere, shrill shrieks of unknown creatures rang out as a finger imprint broke through space.

  “Absolute Soul Finger!!” Another person blurted out, petrified.

  “Absolute Soul Finger? Ranked fourth on the Heavenly Treasure List, Absolute Soul Pearl’s heritage skill?!”

  “Yes, the Absolute Soul Pearl!”

  Another great shock rippled through the crowd. Most people stared aghast at Huwang Xiao, the legendary Heavenly Treasures actually resurfaced! Heavenly Treasures ranked within the top ten, and not just one, but two! Moreover, both of them appeared on Huwang Xiao’s body!

  The Deities Templar Elder was struck by Huwang Xiao’s Absolute Soul Finger, having a hole pierced in his chest. It was said that the Absolute Soul Finger could even penetrate through hell itself.

  Listening to the exaggerated exclamations around him, that Deities Templar Elder was confounded, temporarily forgetting the sharp pain in his chest.

  Giant ghost Feng Yang seized the opportunity to close in on the Elder. Ghost aura broke out rumbling from his body and the three-pronged blood spear appeared, glowing red in his hand, flying toward the Elder at breaking wind speed. Catching the sound of breaking wind, the Deities Templar Elder awakened from his shock.

  “Retreat!” Li Molin’s voice rang in the high air. At the same time, countless green rays of light were seen aiming at Huwang Xiao, Duan Ren, and the others, forcing them to dodge.

  Li Molin’s silhouette disappeared in the blink of an eye, followed by Yao Shan and the three Elders.

  Huwang Xiao did not expect Li Molin and the Deities Templar group to successfully break away.

  “No need to chase.” When Zhao Shu made a move to pursue, Huwang Xiao stopped him. Looking around at the disturbed crowd, he said, “Let’s leave this place first.”

  Zhao Shu and the rest nodded.

  Without another word, Huwang Xiao’s group flew away, disappearing from the crowd’s sight in a less than a second. Of course, Huwang Xiao did not forget to take Yao Fei’s spatial ring before leaving.

  Ch.355

  Rising Sun City’s Castellan, Wang Cong, had half his life flown away seeing Li Molin and the Deities Templar Elders escape. If they were gone, what about him? Even Yao Fei was not enough for Huwang Xiao to ‘play’ with. If Huwang Xiao wanted to kill him, blowing a few breaths was sufficient to reap his life…

  Fortunately, however, it seemed like Huwang Xiao had forgotten about him and left.

  Wang Cong breathed in relief watching Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and the rest of the group fly away, his knees buckled as if he continuously ran a hundred thousand li, panting heavily. Only at this moment did he realize that the back of his robe was soaked by cold sweat, as for the wet patch at his crotch, the source was undetermined.

  The surrounding crowd watched as Huwang Xiao’s group left, dumbstruck. A long time later, noises filled the air again, one higher than the other.

  Astounded! Amazed!

  Half-Saints in general needed to accumulate more than a dozen years of cultivation to advance to the Saint realm, whereas Huwang Xiao, from peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order to Saint realm, it was a mere six months!

  The legendary top ten Heavenly Treasures resurfaced—the God Binding Ring and Absolute Soul Pearl! The crucial point was, Huwang Xiao possessed both Heavenly Treasures.

  The awe, astonishment, and excitement lasted a long time. Before sundown, the news spread to every corner of Rising Sun City and traveled out of the city walls with terrifying speed. In just a few days’ time, every person in the High Sun Empire knew that Huwang Xiao had broken into the Saint realm, as well as the fact that he possessed two Heavenly Treasures, the God Binding Ring and Absolute Soul Pearl.

  Huwang Xiao was the hottest discussion topic for both warriors and commoners. Barely any word exchange could be completed without the two words—Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao’s name rang louder than any Emperor on the Snow Wind Continent.

  …

  Two days later, in the north side of the Origin Forest, on one of the many hill peaks. Space distorted, several figures emerged out of nowhere. This group was none other than Li Molin, Yao Shan, and the three Deities Templar Elders.

  Li Molin stood in the air, staring in one direction with frigid cold eyes. The incident in Rising Sun City had spread out. For the past two days, everyone talked of Huwang Xiao and Deities Templar.

  Of course, when discussing Huwang Xiao, there were only positive compliments, whereas when talking about Deities Templar, harsh words cut deep. Such as, Deities Templar was only so-so, even their Elders were killed, and in the end, they ran away with their tails betwe
en their legs.

  Ran away with their tails between their legs! Every time Li Molin heard this phrase, uncontrollable killing intent would erupt in her heart.

  Huwang Xiao! If it weren’t because of that Huwang Xiao, Deities Templar would not turn into a joke!

  “When will Elder Zhou and the others arrive?” Seconds later, Li Molin spoke. After what happened at Rising Sun City, Li Molin sent a message back to Deities Templar to send more experts to Origin Forest. The Temple Preceptor placed great importance on this matter, sending ten Elders over.

  Yao Shan quickly replied, “Probably another two days until Elder Zhou Chang will be able to arrive at the Origin Forest.”

  Hearing that, Li Molin’s expression turned slightly better.

  “Any news about the Ancient Dragon Clan ruins’ location?” Li Molin asked another Elder.

  That Deities Templar Elder shook his head, “Not yet.”

  Li Molin’s brows creased into furrows.

  …

  At the same time, Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, Duan Ren, and the others were flying over the south side of the Origin Forest. After leaving Rising Sun City, Huwang Xiao’s group decided to venture into the Origin Forest.

  These two days, they had been searching for the Ancient Dragon Clan’s ruins’ location, but like other experts before them, there was not much of a result.

  Two days passed and Duan Ren had come to terms with the fact that Huwang Xiao had advanced to the Saint realm. He watched Huwang Xiao’s back, recalling that split second early Saint realm aura that he sensed back in Duanren Imperial City. At that time, he was able to determine that it came from the Southern Hill Estate’s direction, but he did not make the link to Huwang Xiao. However, he could confirm now that it was Huwang Xiao, without a doubt.

  While flying, Huwang Xiao tried to sense the reaction of the black and blue martial spirits inside him, but the lack of any reaction from them since he entered the Origin Forest disappointed him.
