Asura Sovereign VI

by Shian Jeen

  “Hard to say, Deities Templar’s strength is not something we can imagine. Moreover, there’s rumors stating that Deities Templar’s Temple Preceptor has damaged to the God Realm!”

  Some were stunned, some gloating, some waited with anticipation at the incoming good show.

  Obviously, as the rumor mill churned, things reached new heights of exaggeration; some said that Huwang Xiao experienced control over a million Poison Corpse Scarabs, and the numbers continuing to develop, another rumor got Huwang Xiao possessing millions of evil dragons.

  Huwang Xiao heard these ridiculously exaggerated gossips as he traveled past, and shook his mind with a helpless smile.

  However, those who used to think that Huwang Xiao didn’t stand a chance against Deities Templar began to change their opinion, and no longer thought that Huwang Xiao was merely an egg knocking on hard rock.

  Departing the Luo Tong Kingdom, Huwang Xiao slowed down his speed, taking the time to practice as he journeyed to the Starcloud Continent.

  Before this, he only managed to control ten of black ancient puppets on the 3rd level altar of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, so on this journey, Huwang Xiao took enough time to brand the rest of the nine black puppets. Relying on his current level of spiritual force, Huwang Xiao could already control all nineteen dark puppets. Amongst these nineteen black puppets, the most effective puppet was of late-Tenth Order Saint world strength.

  On the way, Huwang Xiao positioned two of the strongest black puppet at his side, he couldn’t let Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu or himself to act personally every time something happened. Two ancient Saint realm puppets were sufficient to resolve most problems.

  At the same time, Huwang Xiao had opened the fourth and fifth layers of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. For the 4th layer were actually countless pellets, most of them were grade ten, heaven quality, and there was also a sizable amount of divine grade. But they were low grade divine pellets and didn't have much effect for Huwang Xiao.

  What truly amazed him were the mountains of nature stones on the fifth layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda! Grade three, quality two, and piles of grade one spirit rocks!

  The grade three and two spirit stones weren’t of much use to him, but grade one spirit stones were a different matter altogether. The final time he was in the Dragon Tomb, to go the twelve crystal statues of the primordial divine dragons in to the Godly Mt. Xumi, he had exhausted all of his quality one spirit stones as energy source for the Ten Buddha Formation. Quality one heart stones were something that he greatly lacked.

  After an instant scan using his spiritual force, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda fifth layer contained around 3 hundred bits of grade one spirit stone, enough to last him a long period.

  ‘Too bad there are no heaven grade spirit stones. ’ Huwang Xiao lamented a little inwardly.

  After he experienced using grade one spirit stones to activate the Ten Buddha Formation, Huwang Xiao pointed out that it couldn’t really display the formation’s full strength, if there were heaven grade spirits stones, he believed that the Ten Buddha Formation would become more powerful. Huwang Xiao had a piece of heaven grade spirit stone but he had used it already.

  After opening the fifth layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, Huwang Xiao wished to open the sixth layer as well, only to find out that his current strength was insufficient to break the seal placed for the sixth layer, thus he could only put the matter aside for the present time.

  Night blanketed the earth in quiet darkness.

  Huwang Xiao’s group of three stopped to rest in the wilderness, a small fire burning bright. Sitting near to the burning up fireplace, Huwang Xiao had taken out the Ghost King ring that he obtained from the Ghost King’s cultivation cave.

  Under the fire’s glow, the band glimmered with a dark violet light, both bad dragons carving on the ring appeared nefarious and sinister.

  These days, Huwang Xiao had been searching the area inside the band using his religious sense, but despite many attempts, he hadn’t yet found the famous Ghost King Sutra.

  In the Ghost King’s ring, apart from those Ghost King Dans, there was only that blood sea. All along, Huwang Xiao’s intuition informed him that the bloodstream ocean was not so simple, it must be concealing some magic formula within its depths. He had attempted various methods, but nonetheless failed to explore the bottom of the blood ocean.

  Fiddling with the Ghost Ruler band for some time, Huwang Xiao put it away once more, departing the secret to be explored later.

  “Sovereign, not far ahead is Blessed Buddha City, should we stay just a little longer there?” Zhao Shu spoke.

  Huwang Xiao nodded somberly, “Yes, we’ll stay for a couple of days in the Blessed Buddha City.”

  That year, if it weren’t because of the Blessed Buddha Token Shi Fantian gave him, Huwang Xiao wouldn’t have been able to enter the Blessed Buddha Cavern, and subsequently, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to find the Godly Mt. Xumi. It was because he found the Godly Mt. Xumi that Huwang Xiao’s power rose at rapid speed, otherwise, not to mention breaking through to Saint world, probably he wouldn’t even have the ability to reach Xiantian Tenth Order.

  Therefore, Huwang Xiao had always felt indebted toward Shi Fantian. Since he was moving through, it was only polite to pay Shi Fantian a visit.

  Thinking of Shi Fantian, Huwang Xiao couldn’t help keeping in mind the conversation with Xie Puti about Snow Blowing wind Continent’s number one beauty, Shi Xiaofei. Shi Xiaofei was Shi Fantian’s daughter.

  ‘I wonder if the Shi Xiaofei that Xie Puti mentioned is really as stunning as that man claimed.’ Huwang Xiao secretly laughed, it would be nice if Xie Puti was here now.

  The darkness slowly receded as the morning light emerged on the horizon.

  Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu got up, flying for the Blessed Buddha City.

  Ch.375

  Half an hour later, Huwang Xiao’s band of three arrived at Blessed Buddha City.

  Several years earlier, Huwang Xiao came to the Blessed Buddha Empire to look for the Godly Mt. Xumi, but he didn’t have the opportunity to see the Blessed Buddha Imperial City.

  Just as he stepped into Blessed Buddha City, Huwang Xiao instantly felt the rich Buddhism energy in the air. This Buddhism energy did not originate from the people, it was normally formed by years of Buddhism energy accumulation.

  Rows of shops lined the roads, but nearly most of them were related to Buddhism in one way or another, some sold Buddha statues, some Buddha religion-related items, while others fight skills based on Buddhism energy. Of course those battle skills were common low grade.

  The grades of fight skills couldn’t enter Huwang Xiao’s eyes, however, due to curiosity, he entered a random skill shop with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, flipping over some battle skill manuals.

  It was close to noon after a few hours strolling around the city. When they strolled by a big restaurant called Buddhist House, the three of these went inside the premise.

  Huwang Xiao had already tasted Luo Tong Kingdom’s Snow Moon Wine, Duanren Empire’s Sapidity Wines, and Rising Sun City’s Origin Wine, but he previously yet to sample the wine made by Buddhists.

  A fragrant aroma teased their noses the moment they walked into the restaurant. It was not the same as any wines Huwang Xiao acquired smelled before, purely predicated on this fragrance by itself, one could already be sure that your wine sold here in this Buddhist House would be good.

  Because of the two large historic puppets trailing in back of Huwang Xiao, they immediately attracted the masses’s attention when they appeared inside, curious whispers and gazes were inevitable.

  Although both puppets converged their Saint realm aura, the four-meter height and durable physique alone put enough pressure within the some other clients inside.

  “Are those the Beastmen from the Ten Directions Continent?” A person stared at the two large silhouettes behind Huwang Xiao, somewhat awed.

  “No, Beastmen have some similarities with t
he Demonic Beast race, obviously both of these people aren’t Beastmen.” The person same desk as he mentioned.

  “It’s hard to imagine there would be someone so tall in this world.” A customer was shocked.

  Huwang Xiao merely smiled and shook these comments away as he, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu found a table near to the window and sat down. The two huge puppets stood behind Huwang Xiao.

  Moments later, the restaurant waiter approached Huwang Xiao’s table, “What would several Lords like to order?”

  Huwang Xiao spoke: “A desk of dishes, your best ones; first bring three jugs of your restaurant best wine.”

  “First bring three jugs?” The waiter was stunned.

  Huwang Xiao didn’t say another word seeing the waiter’s reaction, placing an opened spatial ring on the table without another term. Inside the band, coins piled mountain high, nearly blinding the waiter with their sparkle. Huwang Xiao encountered the same situation too many times.

  Sure enough, once the waiter saw the glittering mountains of gold inside the spatial ring, his legs shook as if he was on the verge of pissing himself. No another word of nonsense, the waiter excused himself and sped away to bring Huwang Xiao’s order. It didn’t take miss the waiter to come back with a tray full of their best dishes and three jugs of their finest wine.

  This wine followed the name of the restaurant and was called Buddhist House.

  Huwang Xiao broke open up the seal, banging wines bowls with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu. Sliding down, the deep smoky perfume of the wine teased their taste buds, spicy yet mellow, holding a quiet serene aftertaste that made people yearn for this.

  “This wine is not bad.” Huwang Xiao praised. Although it didn’t compare to Rising Sun City’s Source Wines, it was good wine nonetheless.

  Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu nodded their minds in agreement, the three chatted as they drank.

  At some point, a large pot-bellied man came into, with four guards following behind him. What tickled Huwang Xiao’s funny bone were this pot-bellied man’s features-small beady eyes, big nose, wide mouth area, and thin brows that resembled a woman's. Not to mention that huge pot-belly probably could hold a large water barrel.

  After entering the premise, the pot-bellied man picked a table and sat. However, his beady eye quickly scanned around and when he spotted the two large puppets behind Huwang Xiao, the pair of small beady eyes lit up as he noticed some great treasure.

  The fatty man stood up and walked toward Huwang Xiao’s table.

  Huwang Xiao noticed the fatty walking toward him with beady eye staring fixedly at both giant puppets behind him and was puzzled; did this chubby man recognize the puppets behind him?

  Those giant puppets from the Linglong Treasure Pagoda were processed from the Ancient Golden Giant Tribe, individuals who had the keen sight to recognize them were scarce in number.

  Even Zhao Shu and Zhang Shu were baffled by the man’s actions.

  In a few strides, the fatty reached in front of Huwang Xiao, “Brother, are these two your guards?” he asked, a finger pointed at the two giant puppets.

  Huwang Xiao was stumped, then he nodded, “That’s right.” he couldn’t find out the intention of this question.

  The fatty laughed, “I wonder if this brother would be willing to sell both of these guards, I want to buy them.”

  This sent Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu in a daze.

  Huwang Xiao looked at the fatty’s small eyes that narrowed into fine lines as he smiled, feeling amused, he asked, “Are you sure you want to buy?”

  Many thoughts flushed through Huwang Xiao’s mind when he saw the fatty walking to him, but he didn’t expect the man to have his eye set on his huge puppets.

  right “That’s.” The fatty man chuckled.

  “Why would you like to by these two guards of mine?” Huwang Xiao asked. He really was curious why this fatty wanted to buy his large puppets, the other part was merely a Houtian 8th Order, therefore it was impossible for him to see that both giant puppets behind him experienced the strength of Tenth Order Saint realm experts. If he could see it, he wouldn’t dare to be having such thoughts.

  The fatty man smiled, “Because both of these guards of your look so cool!”

  So cool!

  Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu could no more keep in their laughter. Still, one had to admit, two four-meter high huge puppets indeed appeared really cool standing there.

  Huwang Xiao shook his head in laughter, “You cannot afford these two large guards of mine.” What Huwang Xiao said was a fact. A Saint world expert, not an empire could afford to buy, not forgetting a Tenth Order Saint realm.

  However, it appeared like the fatty didn't understand Huwang Xiao’s meaning, his sonorous voice offered: “One million, how about it?”

  One million!

  The customers around turned over, eyes wide with surprise.

  One million, even in Blessed Buddha Empire’s Blessed Buddha Imperial City, it was a big number.

  Viewing the reaction of people around him, fatty demonstrated a complacent look.

  Huwang Xiao shook his mind.

  Watching Huwang Xiao’s reaction, the fatty man stunned, adding: “What I meant was one million for one, two for two million.”

  Huwang Xiao was still shaking his head in refusal, if it weren’t because this fatty had no malicious intent, he would have sent him away early on.

  Seeing Huwang Xiao still refused him, disappointment flashed in his eyes, just like the fatty was about to turn back and go back to his table, a voice sounded out of nowhere, “Being tall doesn’t mean things, who understands, maybe these guards only good on the surface, but haven't any strength. Bringing out guards such as this, one can only pretend to be cool for a short time, if a real combat breaks out, perhaps they are nothing but smooth tofu and expire in one hit!” The voice was full of sarcasm. Without a doubt, the gentle tofu being referred to was Huwang Xiao’s two giant puppets.

  Huwang Xiao and everybody else looked over, the person who spoke was a young man dressed up in luxurious brocade robe, heavily greased hair, and a pale white face.

  “It’s Chen Family’s eldest young get better at, Chen Luoguang!” Someone blurted.

  Hearing this, the majority of the customers' encounters tightened, obviously this Chen Family’s Eldest Young Grasp had a significant reputation in Blessed Buddha City.

  Ch.376

  Chen Luoguang? Viewing the encompassing customers’ response, Huwang Xiao guessed that so-called Chen Luoguang’s position wasn’t low.

  Chen Family? Abruptly, something flashed in Huwang Xiao’s brain, this Chen Luoguang was most likely the same Chen Family’s disciple. Chen Family, one of Blessed Buddha Empire’s super families, parallel with the Yao and Xie Families in Duanren Empire.

  That year, when Huwang Xiao was within search of the Godly Mt. Xumi, through the Blessed Buddha Altar’s baptism with Buddhism energy, he came across a Chen Family disciple, Chen Dingyuan.

  At that right time, Chen Dingyuan was jealous of Huwang Xiao being chosen by the Blessed Buddha Altar and sneakily shot poisonous needles at Huwang Xiao at night, but failed. Later, after Huwang Xiao found the Godly Mt. Xumi, he paid a visit to the Chen Mansion and wiped out Chen Dingyuan before leaving the Blessed Buddha Empire.

  “Who is Chen Dingyuan to you?” Huwang Xiao viewed Chen Luoguang, requesting out of nowhere.

  Chen Luoguang dazed for a moment, he didn’t expect the son would ask this question.

  “Cheng Dingyuan is my younger brother.” Chen Luoguang added, “Since you know my more youthful brother, to give him face, I will give you a chance.”

  Judging from his attitude, it seemed he thought Huwang Xiao and Cheng Dingyuan was an associate of his sibling’s.

  Huwang Xiao revealed a little smile hearing that, “What chance?”

  Chen Luoguang said, “What I hate most is others pretending to be cool before me personally!” In his eye, Huwang Xiao’s purpose in bringing two such large guards outside
with him was nothing more than showing off. Watching others showing off in front of him only soured his good mood. He proudly directed a finger at one of the guards behind him saying, “As long as the two guards behind you can accept one strike from my safeguard, I will enable you to go.”

  Huwang Xiao shrugged shoulders nonchalantly, “What if my guards receive your guard’s one hand unharmed?”

  Chen Luoguang couldn’t resist exposing a smirk at Huwang Xiao’s question, he viewed to the back at his guard, “This kid just said that his two soft tofu guards can easily take your attack.”

  The guards around Chen Luoguang chuckled sinisterly.

  The safeguard Chen Luoguang selected earlier stepped right out of the group, looking at Huwang Xiao with a haughty expression. An abrupt surge of energy erupted from his body, enveloping the restaurant, alarming the customer crowd.

  “Such a terrifying aura, a Xiantian Tenth Order expert?!” Inside the restaurant, a high-level Xiantian expert exclaimed out loud.

  “Xiantian Tenth Order expert!” The rest was astonished by this revelation.

  The fatty that intended to buy Huwang Xiao’s two giant puppets was so astonished that he hastily moved far away from Huwang Xiao, seeking safety at the side in case disaster befell fish of the same pond, angering Chen Luoguang.

  Listening to the surprised exclamations via all around, Chen Luoguang’s ego ballooned. In this visit to the Blessed Buddha City with the family's Elders, that they had organized six high-level Xiantian world experts at his aspect as guards, amongst them were two Xiantian Tenth Order experts.

  Just what a Xiantian Tenth Order expert displayed, he and everyone present were well alert to.

  Chen Luoguang spoke, “That’s right, Xiantian Tenth Order expert, moreover, he’s a mid-Xiantian Tenth Order.” Responding to the crowd’s awed reaction.

  “Mid-Xiantian Tenth Order!” Another wave of exhilarating gasps sounded.
