Asura Sovereign VI

by Shian Jeen

A few days later, the light from the Dragon Pearl soared sky high and it flew straight into the center of Huwang Xiao’s eyebrows. For the reason that instant, a tsunami of true dragon fact that had been restrained for hundreds of centuries broke out, rushing to every part of Huwang Xiao’s veins and meridians, spilling into his Qi Sea, even into his dantian.

  Huwang Xiao shook, his whole body ballooned due to the sudden influx of vigorous true dragon essence inside his body. The warm comfortable feeling was replaced by excruciating pain, as though he'd blow into pieces at any moment. Frightened, Huwang Xiao frantically ran the Asura Tactics and the Body Metamorphosis Scripture, crazily absorbing the terrifying amount of true dragon substance.

  The Dragon Pearl was hailed as the Dragon Clan’s greatest treasure, a possession of the Dragon Emperor for generations, absorbing true dragon essence owned by the Dragon Emperor for thousands of years, one could imagine the horrifying extent of true dragon essence contained within the fist-sized Dragon Pearl.

  Huwang Xiao crazily ingested the true dragon fact released into his body, but it was still too much, far exceeding his capacity. Fine threads of bloodstream began seeping out from Huwang Xiao’s pores, a sign that his body was extended to the limit, hardly able to hold this large amount of true dragon essence released by the Dragon Pearl.

  If this situation continued, there is only one ending for Huwang Xiao-blasting to items! Sensing more and more true dragon substance accumulating in his body, Huwang Xiao became stressed yet helpless at the same time.

  Two days went by and Huwang Xiao’s body doubled in size, from afar it gave an unsettling eerie feeling. One could only imagine the torturous pain when the body abruptly expanded more than double its size. If it weren’t for Huwang Xiao’s physical toughness, he would have exploded long before. Even so, he could hardly last much longer.

  Seven days later, a thunderous bang rang out, Huwang Xiao exploded, blood and pieces of meat rained down in the Xumi Temple. Seconds before he exploded, the dark and blue dragon flew out from his body, roaring skyward, intertwining with the Dragon Pearl. Rings of golden shine continued rippling out from the Dragon Pearl, filling the Xumi Temple and the whole Godly Mt. Xumi space.

  Although Huwang Xiao’s body exploded, his soul was intact. He experienced as if he found its way to a golden ocean, floating aimlessly.

  One month, two months, one year handed!

  Huwang Xiao’s pieces of flesh and blood steadily gathered, albeit slowly. While on the outside, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Yu Ming, and the others were feeling anxious.

  “Sovereign has been in closed-door practice for more than a year, why hasn’t he come out yet?” Zhao Shu’s brows were tightly scrunched jointly.

  “There’s barely a month left until the Deities Templar disciple selection day. ” Zhang Fu’s brows were also locked together, “Did something happen to Sovereign while in closed-door practice?”

  Huwang Xiao planned to rescue Li Lu during the Deities Templar disciple selection event, all of them were aware of this.

  “Sovereign is inside the Godly Mt. Xumi, we have no way of moving in.” Yu Ming said.

  “We can only wait for Sovereign to turn out.” Zhao Shu stated gravely.

  All they could do now was wait. But, in this period of waiting, another year passed. A year had gone by from the time of the Deities Templar’s disciple selection.

  Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the rest became even more anxious, including Huwang Peng and Su Yan. Although Huwang Xiao proceeded to go into closed-door practice, he had never once been away for so long.

  In the Xumi Temple, Huwang Xiao’s exploded body parts continued to cohere, finally returning to a complete Huwang Xiao. A faint fantastic glow glimmered from his body, similar to the golden halo emitted by the Dragon Pearl.

  When Huwang Xiao’s body returned to completion, the Dragon Pearl once again flew into his body between his brows. True dragon fact once more spread to every inches of Huwang Xiao’s body. However, this time, all the real dragon fact was instantly utilized by Huwang Xiao, refined, becoming part of him. The ballooning did not happen this time around.

  Huwang Xiao’s body suspended in the air. The black and blue dragon martial spirits hovered above him, absorbing the true dragon essence that lingered in the Xumi Temple, in the last two years, the dark and blue dragons experienced grown to a length of two hundred zhang, their body thickness got more than doubled.

  Another half of a year handed down in the same manner, when it was getting near to the third year of his closed-door practice, Huwang Xiao opened his eyes. An mind-boggling momentum gushed out from his entire being at that moment.

  With Huwang Xiao’s body as the guts, monstrous energy waves swept out akin to a primordial divine dragon awakening from its long slumber!

  Slowly floating to the ground, Huwang Xiao looked at his hands and his new body that was rebuilt by the Dragon Pearl and true dragon essence, a body that had no flaw. This current body was much more perfect than his earlier one, comparable to the ancient Dragon Emperor’s physique!

  His current body was rebuilt by the Dragon Pearl and true dragon essence, thus the strength and defense far exceed his old body often over. Huwang Xiao acquired a sense that even average divine quality weapons couldn’t inflict harm on him.

  Even so, that wasn’t the most important. Huwang Xiao found out that he actually broke through to peak late- Third Order Saint realm! The true dragon substance inside the Dragon Pearl actually helped him to break through until peak late-Third Order Saint world!

  Huwang Xiao was dumbstruck, finding it hard to believe. Although he didn't know how long he previously been in closed-door practice, he estimated it wouldn’t be much longer than ten years. There were some Saint realm experts that couldn’t advance from First Order Saint world To Third Order Saint realm even in three hundred years, not forgetting peak late-Third Order Saint world.

  Also, it seems like the Dragon Pearl integrated perfectly with his body?!

  He noticed a fresh golden symbol between his brows, this golden sign probably appeared because of the Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Clan’s historic language, the single word-Dragon! The symbol was extremely tiny, unless one was searching for this, it wasn’t noticeable at all.

  Standing up in the Xumi Temple, Huwang Xiao was like an immovable Mt. Tai.

  During the ancient era, some powerful ancient Gods could have a mysterious rune on the forehead when their strength reached a certain strength.

  Sense the potent energy in his body, Huwang Xiao gradually calmed down. Removing a blue robe from the Asura Ring, got outfitted and exited the Xumi Temple.

  Being such a long time in a closed-door practice, his parents, Zhao Shu, and the rest was probably anxious by now.

  “It’s Young Lord!” Just as Huwang Xiao made an appearance, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were the first ones to detect his presence, exclaiming out in pleasure.

  Within seconds after Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s voices sounded, silhouettes moved, Huwang Peng, Su Yan, Huwang Xiaohai, Huwang Min, and everyone else ran over from wherever these were.

  “Long’er, you’re out!” Su Yan strolled up, crying out in happiness.

  Huwang Xiao smiled at his mother, nodding. Then he turned to Zhao Shu, “How long was I in closed-door practice?”

  “Replying to Young Lord, it’s been close to three years.” Zhao Shu replied respectfully.

  Three years? Huwang Xiao nodded, good, three years wasn’t considered too long.

  Ch.367

  Hearing Zhao Shu’s answer, Huwang Xiao was relieved, but then remembering the Deities Templar’s disciple selection matter, he thought slightly depressed having missed it. It seems like he had a need to think of another method to save Li Lu.

  But then again, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

  Deities Templar probably already guessed that he’d appear in the disciple selection to do something and made preparation in advance, just waiting for him to fall into their well-laid trap. If he had shown up, not only
would he be unable to bring Li Lu out, he could even lose himself in the gamble.

  “Xiao, did something happen this time during your closed-door practice?” Huwang Peng asked.

  Huwang Xiao nodded, “Yes, something unexpected happened, but it’s alright now.” Recalling the scene of his body exploding due to the excessive amount of true dragon fact, Huwang Xiao still sensed palpitations. If it weren’t for his advancement into the Saint realm, being immortal unless the spirit was destroyed, he’d be dead now. Fortunately, the black and blue dragon martial spirits guarded the Dragon Pearl at that time.

  “Let’s go inside and talk.” Taking a look at the expressions around him, Huwang Xiao could tell that everyone had a great deal of questions, thus persuaded with a smile.

  Moments later, Huwang Xiao and everyone else were seated in the hall, talking.

  Due to worrying about Huwang Xiao, the atmosphere in the Eminent Holiness space have been heavy and tense, but now that Huwang Xiao appeared before everyone, it was just like a ray of sunlight sweeping away the dark clouds, time for its prior cheer and laughter.

  “Uncle, Uncle!” At this time, nephew Guo Xiaofan reached Huwang Xiao’s aspect, his childish tone of voice saying, “My Mommy says you’re the most powerful person in this world, can you teach me?”

  Three years passed, the tiny guy was already five years old and was a lot taller, but still as cute and lovable.

  Huwang Xiao grinned hearing the little one, “Teach you? What do you want to learn?”

  Guo Xiaofan’s head tilted to the side, saying, “I want to learn how to take flight.”

  This answer brought a bout of laughter from everyone present.

  Huwang Xiao agreed: “Good, then Uncle will teach you how to soar.”

  Little Guo Xiaofan bloomed hearing Huwang Xiao’s promise, hands clapping excitedly shouting great, and then ran to Huwang Min and Guo Tai, telling him that Uncle promised to teach him.

  Watching Guo Xiaofan, Huwang Xiao was reminded of his own childhood. In those days, his grandfather, Huwang Qide, was extremely partial to his Eldest Uncle’s son, Huwang Wei. After two decades, it seemed like another lifetime.

  Then Huwang Xiao asked Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu about the situation outside, as well as news about the Ancient Dragon Clan ruins in the foundation Forest.

  Before three years, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu both ventured from the Broken Tiger Rift twice, therefore that they had some idea about the problem outside.

  Zhao Shu reported to Huwang Xiao about the Origin Forest Old Dragon Clan matter, where Deities Templar and other forces fought for the primordial divine dragon corpses. In the final end, Deities Templar snatched three, Chen Tianqi won one, the Beastmen Clan and Demonic Beasts experts from Ten Directions Continent were able to snatch two each. Three corpses went to the Bedlam Lands, and the last one was used by a mysterious person.

  “Also, Young Lord, currently, Deities Templar has taken control of nine kingdoms under Duanren Empire!” Zhang Fu added.

  “Deities Templar took control over nine Duanren Empire’s kingdoms?!” Huwang Xiao was genuinely surprised as of this piece of information. This situation place the Duanren Empire in a precarious position!

  Zhang Fu also wore a solemn appearance on his face, continuing: “Yes, if it weren’t for the Snow Wind Continent alliance covenant signed between Duanren Empire, Grand Dawn Empire, Goryeo Empire and six other empires, deterring Deities Templar, they might have already attacked to conquer Duanren Imperial City!”

  Huwang Xiao’s brows furrowed deeply. Although Deities Templar acted with caution, not daring to launch large scale assault, it was still only a matter of time.

  “What about the Luo Tong Kingdom?” Huwang Xiao instantly asked.

  Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu exchanged a glance, hesitating. Both knew Huwang Xiao and Luo Tong Kingdom’s Prince Lu Kai has a good friendship.

  “Speak.” Noticing the small exchange between Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, an ominous sense packed Huwang Xiao’s center.

  “Replying to Young Lord, the Luo Tong Kingdom has fallen into Deities Templar’s control, and Prince Lu Kai... was executed by Li Molin.” Zhao Shu hesitated in between, before uttering the truth.

  “What?!!” Huwang Xiao abruptly rose from his chair, a terrifying murderous aura broke out from his body, his eye turning scarlet.

  Lu Kai… useless?! Killed by Li Molin!

  “Li Molin!!” Huwang Xiao gritted his tooth, biting on every word.

  Everyone stared astonished at Huwang Xiao’s momentum, including Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu.

  Sovereign, he?”

  “Young Lord, you…?!” Zhang Fu asked, flabbergasted.

  Huwang Xiao converged his atmosphere, nodding as he did, “This time’s closed-door practice, I’ve broken to Third Order Saint world.”

  “Third Order Saint realm!” Everyone exclaimed in disbelief almost at exactly the same time, eyes focused on Huwang Xiao.

  This, how could this be possible! Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu felt it the most.

  Before Huwang Xiao went into closed-door practice, Huwang Xiao had just advanced to Saint realm, but now, he previously already reached Third Order Saint realm?!

  Pondering the problem, Huwang Xiao didn't conceal from the people present: “I’ve gotten the Dragon Pearl.” When Huwang Xiao returned from the foundation Forest, he did not mention to anyone anything about the Dragon Pearl, thus individuals were still in the dark about this.

  “Dragon Pearl, that legendary Dragon Clan’s very best treasure, the Dragon Pearl!” Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu jumped off their seats at Huwang Xiao’s words, their eyes widened to how big is an infant’s fist and their mouths agape. Huwang Peng, Su Yan, and the others might not realize the significance of the Dragon Pearl, but Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu did.

  Therefore, Huwang Xiao didn't feel strange seeing both of these people’s reaction.

  Huwang Xiao nodded, “I was in closed-door practice to refine the Dragon Pearl. A small accident happened in the centre, that’s why it required so long, but I have completely sophisticated the Dragon Pearl.”

  Not merely refined, it basically became part of his body!

  Huwang Xiao could clearly sense the Dragon Pearl between his brows releasing true dragon essence every second whatsoever time, his power continued to rise every instant, growing stronger before true dragon substance inside the Dragon Pearl depleted.

  At this time, the dumbstruck Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu recovered from their gaffe, kneeling down on a single knee in enthusiasm, lauding: “Congratulations, Young Lord, in getting the Dragon Clan’s great treasure! Sovereign is invincible throughout!”

  “Congratulations, Young Lord, in getting the Dragon Clan’s great treasure! Sovereign is invincible throughout!” Yu Ming, Fei Hou, and Haotian quickly follow suit, kneeling down in salute.

  Huwang Xiao smiled helplessly at them, telling them to go up.

  When the five of these stood up, Huwang Xiao inquired about Chen Tianqi.

  “Replying to Young Lord, one year ago, Chen Tianqi has announced to all makes that he is succeeding the Sovereign position for the Asura’ Gate. On that day, he invited many pushes’ experts and clans to the ceremony!” Zhao Shu clarified without concealing the reality.

  Huwang Xiao snorted coldly hearing Zhao Shu’s reply, “Succeeding the Asura’s Gate Sovereign position?” Then he considered Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, “Left Custodian Zhao, Right Custodian Zhang.”

  “Subordinate present!” Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu both shook, taking a step of progress with respect.

  “Relay the Asura Order, let the Elders, Domain name Leaders, and disciples know that I've the Asura Band, I am the rightful successor to the Asura’s Gate Sovereign position. Anyone submitting to Chen Tianqi will be treated as Asura’s Gate traitor and will be punished according to our Asura’s Gate regulations!” Huwang Xiao mentioned in a sonorous voice.

  Before, Huwang Xiao was still weak, having no option but to conceal his identity as Asura’s Gate Sovereign. But things were di
fferent now, he had advanced to peak late-Third Order Saint realm and was strong enough to battle Chen Tianqi only, which was why he previously no qualms in revealing the fact that he was the rightful successor for the Asura’s Gate Sovereign position.

  “Subordinate will comply! ” Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu experienced their blood boil with excitement at Huwang Xiao’s order, acknowledging the command with the utmost respect.

  Ch.368

  The Asura Order appeared, raising a storm!

  Both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu felt excitement coursing through their veins, they had long been waiting for this day!

  Huwang Xiao turned around. Viewing the confounded expressions on his parents and siblings’ faces, he told them a short version of the story relating him and Asura’s Gate. Many years experienced exceeded since Huwang Xiao found the Asura Ring, but he had never mentioned it to his family. All these years, Huwang Peng, Su Yan, Huwang Min, and Huwang Xiaohai never understood Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Yu Ming, Haotian, and Fei Hou’s real identities.

  Hearing Huwang Xiao’s explanation, everyone was feeling like all the puzzle pieces fell into place.

  “Then, Long’er, you want to go to Starcloud Continent?”After hearing her son’s explanation, Su Yan asked.

  Huwang Xiao nodded: “Yes, Mother.”

  Asura’s Gate headquarters was located on Starcloud Continent, to reclaim the Sovereign position, Huwang Xiao had to visit the Starcloud Continent!

  Huwang Xiao already had sufficient strength to battle for it, and win!

  “When are you leaving?” Su Yan asked again.

  “Ten days later.” Huwang Xiao solved with solemnity in his firmness. He knew that his mother was disheartened, that was why he stayed a few more times before departing.

  For the next ten days in the Eminent Holiness’ cultivation space, Huwang Xiao practiced at night to stabilize his recent breakthrough and enhance his battle qi cultivation, while during the day, he would spend time with his family, talking or guiding their cultivation, including Fei Hou, Haotian, as well as others.
