Asura Sovereign XII

by Shian Jeen

  Although the strength they displayed was startling, in Huwang Xiao’s eyes, they were akin to two slightly bigger children playing roughly with each other.

  Their strength was far worse compared to Wan Long, the first-ranked on the Highgod Advancement List.

  On the stage above the battle continued, but the more Huwang Xiao watched, the more boring and dull he felt it was.

  At the end, after a hundred moves, Jiang Hanzhi lost by falling out of the battle stage.

  Out from the stage, Jiang Hanzhi glared at Lu Cong still standing on the stage above. Even though he was a hundred times unwilling, there was nothing else he could do but wipe off the bloodstains from his mouth and return to standing behind the Jiang Family Patriarch.

  Lu Cong stood tall on the stage, not bothering to lessen his momentum, he was calm yet domineering, “Who else wants to experience the power of this Lu’s Ten Thousand Words Dharani?”

  But no disciples dared to enter the battle stage.

  Although ten Amethyst Water Droplet Divine Pills were tempting, who could say they’d still be alive like Jiang Hanzhi when they would be kicked out from the stage.

  Seeing that no one dared to enter the stage, Lu Cong’s head tilted slightly in Huwang Xiao’s direction, his voice clear as day, “Could it be that no one from the Black Warrior Institute dares to come up? If that is so, I really want to thank you for sending twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones to our Azure Dragon Institute so easily”

  “After witnessing how powerful Senior Brother Lu Cong’s Ten Thousand Word Dharani, I think those from the Black Warrior Institute have already pissed their pants. Who would dare to compete with Senior Brother Lu Cong?” At this point, an Azure Dragon Institute Grand Elder said.

  “I totally agree. I didn’t expect that Huwang Xiao to be foolish to this extent, giving away twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones to us for nothing!” Another Azure Dragon Grand Elder chimed in.

  The two Grand Elders chatted between themselves as if no one could hear, but the guests present were at least Tenth Order God Realm, not a word could escape their ears.

  Liu Yun was enraged, but just as he was about to fly up to the stage, Huwang Xiao’s arm stopped him saying, “It’s just a Lu Cong, there’s no need for Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother to go up. It's sufficient if I go.”

  Feng Yang, Liu Yun, Qi Wen, and even Chen Yang were stunned.

  Feng Yang looked at Huwang Xiao, moments later he slowly nodded: “Be careful.”

  “Master, please rest assured.” Huwang Xiao respectfully replied and then turned around. In a flicker, he was already on the stage.

  When all the guests saw that the person the Black Warrior Institute sent was actually Huwang Xiao, they were astonished.

  Saint Mother Yao Chi’s charming eyes lit up when she saw Huwang Xiao on stage, several thoughts crossed her mind.

  The Azure Dragon Institute Principal was sneering inwardly.

  On the stage, Lu Cong smiled at Huwang Xiao while shaking his head, “Huwang Xiao, I really admire your courage, daring to come up here despite knowing you’re no match for me.”

  The Azure Dragon Institute people below burst out laughing.

  Huwang Xiao remained calm, “Initially, I wanted to spare your life, but now it looks like you threw this chance away.”

  Lu Cong and the guests below were stumped hearing Huwang Xiao’s arrogant words.

  Lu Cong was laughing in Huwang Xiao’s face, his eyes filled with cold pity.

  “Huwang Xiao, sometimes it's really hard for me not to admit that you really have a talent for comedy.” Lu Cong stopped ceased laughing, looking meaningfully at Huwang Xiao, “You said that you initially wanted to spare my life? Even He Feifan who has broken through to Highgod Realm doesn't dare to say that he could kill me, do you think you’re stronger than He Feifan?”

  Ch.782

  When Lu Cong questioned Huwang Xiao if he was stronger than the Highgod Realm He Feifan, the Azure Dragon Institute disciples below broke out in laughter. The other families’ disciples were also laughing out loud.

  The vast gap between the two was too obvious.

  Even before He Feifan broke through to Highgod Realm, he was already ranked second on the Highgod Advancement List.

  Now that he had stepped into the Highgod Realm, his strength surpassed the average Highgod Realm master. Based on He Feifan’s talent, his current strength was closer to a mid-First Order Highgod Realm master.

  Although Huwang Xiao was also extremely talented, how long had he been cultivating for? How could he hold a candle to He Feifan?

  Huwang Xiao ignored the waves of ridiculing laughter coming from below, calmly facing Lu Cong, “You first.”

  At Huwang Xiao’s words, Lu Cong and the Azure Dragon Institute disciples laughed even louder.

  “Are you sure you want to let me make the first move?” Lu Cong beamed as he asked Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao did not say another word, releasing his aura. Overwhelming energy waves swept out from the stage.

  Those laughing Azure Dragon Institute disciples and other family disciples’ laughter choked in their throats, their eyes bulged staring at Huwang Xiao.

  “Late-Tenth Order God Realm?! How is that possible?”

  “That Huwang Xiao’s actually a late-Tenth Order God Realm! How long has he been cultivating for? A bit more than a hundred years! This, this, what is this?!”

  “A little over a hundred years and he already reached late-Tenth Order God Realm, this is unprecedented in the four galaxies! Perhaps no one else will be able to do this in the future! This kind of talent is too terrifying! If given another few decades, doesn’t that mean he’s going to break through to Highgod Realm?! Breaking through to Highgod Realm in less than two hundred years?!”

  The guests below were masters from the four galaxies, but quite a few Ancestors and Patriarchs jumped to their feet in a daze.

  This matter was too shocking.

  The Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi’s heart missed a beat, his astonishment showing clearly on his face.

  It was a long time later before Lu Cong regained his calm, although his complicated emotions were still obvious in his eyes as he looked at Huwang Xiao, saying slowly, “No wonder you dared to take out twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones for a bet, it’s really unexpected that you already reached late-Tenth Order God Realm! But, Huwang Xiao, do you think this is enough? That this makes you qualified to be my opponent?”

  As Lu Cong was saying this, in the depth of his eyes a strong killing intent flickered. No matter what, he had to kill Huwang Xiao today!

  This kind of freakish talent really made others feel apprehensive.

  Huwang Xiao caught the flicker of killing intent in Lu Cong’s eyes, a cold sneer tugged at the corner of his lips, “Whether I am or not, we’ll know in a little bit.”

  Lu Cong did not speak. Fully stimulating the qi inside his Qi Sea, golden mysterious symbols rushed out frantically from his mouth. His momentum was doubled compared to his previous fight with Jiang Hanzhi earlier. It appeared like Lu Cong did not use his full strength fighting Jiang Hanzhi.

  Below, Jiang Hanzhi’s face turned ugly when he felt Lu Cong’s momentum.

  A moment later, Lu Cong’s rapid rising momentum finally stopped, a layer of golden light covered his body like a cocoon. Lu Cong slowly opened his mouth.

  A string of golden symbols flew out, shaking the heavens.

  Watching the string of golden symbols flying sharply toward himself, Huwang Xiao raised his hand with one finger pointing out. He did not employ any battle skills, yet the row of golden symbols shattered from the force of Huwang Xiao’s finger.

  The guests below watched with their mouths agape.

  ‘This Huwang Xiao easily shattered Lu Cong’s Ten Thousand Words Dharani with just a finger?’

  Not to mention the fact that this single row of Ten Thousand Words Dharani contained fifty mysterious symbols.

&nb
sp; Even though Huwang Xiao revealed his late-Tenth Order God Realm cultivation earlier, shocking everyone, those Ancestors and Patriarchs from all over the galaxies felt that Huwang Xiao would still lose to Lu Cong in the end.

  But the result of the first exchange destroyed their estimations.

  Watching this, the contempt in Lu Cong’s heart diminished, his pupils needled. He opened his mouth once more and another string of golden symbols flew out.

  This time, the string of words contained more than a hundred golden symbols, but its power was more than double.

  Huwang Xiao still responded with one finger, causing this second string of golden symbols to burst in the air like bubbles.

  Watching this, the guests below stirred.

  Earlier, when Lu Cong fought Jiang Hanzhi and forced the latter off the stage, he only used slightly over a hundred golden symbols.

  Just now, Huwang Xiao was able to break Jiang Hanzhi’s string of golden symbols easily, didn't this mean that Huwang Xiao was currently more powerful than the fifth-ranked Jiang Hanzhi?

  Jiang Hanzhi was extremely gloomy watching Huwang Xiao’s indifferent expression on the stage above. In his heart, he refused to accept this fact.

  A few days earlier, he had even verbally taunted Huwang Xiao.

  “Bring out your most powerful attack.” Huwang Xiao looked at the slightly pale Lu Cong, his expression aloof, “Your Ten Thousand Words Dharani only have this much strength?”

  Lu Cong’s face was distorted with fury, roaring at the top of his lungs. The golden light around his body spun. In the next second, everyone saw Lu Cong’s pupils change into a golden color, and at the same time his skin also emitted a golden light.

  Lu Cong slowly floated up, hovering in the air, his robe fluttered without any wind. All of a sudden, Lu Cong opened his mouth and consecutive golden symbols flew out and formed a giant ‘万’ in the air above the stage.

  As the number of golden symbols continued to increase, the ‘万’ character in the air grew twice as big, its golden light becoming ever more blinding.

  The world-destroying power continued to rise.

  Sensing the horrifying amount of destructive power accumulating in that giant golden character, those disciples below Highgod Realm turned deathly pale. Even the faces of some Highgod Realm masters tightened.

  Moments later, the golden symbols stopped flying out from Lu Cong’s mouth. The giant ‘万’ character above was an accumulation of 4,167 golden symbols.

  “Huwang Xiao, go to hell!” Lu Cong shrieked sharply, engrossed in hatred. Both of his hands slammed down.

  “Ten Thousand Words Dharani Formation!”’

  Following Lu Cong’s hand gesture, the giant ‘万’ hovering in the air plummeted down on Huwang Xiao, arriving right above the crown of his head in a split second.

  This was the true power of the Ten Thousand Words Dharani, a formation created from the golden symbols, synchronizing the power of every one of those symbols. The area enveloped by the Ten Thousand Words Dharani Formation would be razed to the ground.

  Lu Cong was confident that this attack of his could kill all below the Highgod Realm!

  He didn't believe that Huwang Xiao could take this hit and still live!

  Below the stage, the Black Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang tensed, standing up on his feet. However, right at this time, the Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi’s gaze was fixed on him.

  As everyone else watched the stage above intently, Huwang Xiao raised his right hand up. A bright golden light flashed and a golden-colored fire appeared in his palm, aiming at the ‘万’ character falling down above his head at incredible speed. His finger lightly tapped at the void.

  Rumble~~!

  The collision above echoed for a very long time.

  After 4,167 explosion sounds were heard, the giant golden ‘万’ character finally dimmed, then turned into gray dust, scattered off.

  Lu Cong’s body shook violently, staggering more than a dozen steps back. His face drained of all color staring dazedly at the air, “No, this cannot be, no!!”

  At this point, Huwang Xiao extended a hand, making his attack. A giant palm appeared in the air, slamming down on Lu Cong.

  The guests from the four galaxies saw a giant golden palm slamming down above Lu Cong’s head, its speed too fast for anyone to react.

  Together with the loud booming on the stage was a heart-wrenching cry.

  A flattened human-shaped pancake appeared on the stage.

  Lu Cong laid flat on the stage, spread eagle with his face kissing the stage, eyes bulging out. His back was badly ruptured, sinking into his chest. Lu Cong’s breathing was short and windy, but even that stopped a moment later.

  Note:

  万 (wan)- ten thousand/a great number/ abundant/ a myriad of …

  Ch.783

  Everything happened too fast, no one below expected Huwang Xiao who had been on the defense all this time to suddenly attack, turning the lofty Lu Cong into a flat meat patty!

  Looking at the stage floor-kissing Lu Cong, many masters below felt their mouths twitch.

  The Jiang Family’s Jiang Hanzhi felt his limbs grow cold, nearly pissing himself when a horrifying thought crossed his mind. Earlier, Lu Cong boasted that even He Feifan, who had broken through to Highgod Realm, couldn’t kill him.

  But, just now, Huwang Xiao flattened Lu Cong with a single palm slap…!

  Did this mean that Huwang Xiao was stronger than He Feifan? Stronger than the Highgod Realm He Feifan?!

  If Jiang Hanzhi thought of this, so did the present Ancestors and Patriarchs, their expressions grim.

  A terrifying killing intent exploded from the Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi, looking at the deader than dead Lu Cong whose corpse lay flattened on the stage.

  Lu Cong was one of the top talents of the Azure Dragon Institute in recent years. In fact, Lu Cong’s talent was no worse than his personal disciple, Xiang Mingzhi’s. Lu Cong was also one of the disciples that the guardian elder looked favorably upon.

  He was one of the most promising disciples to break through to Highgod Realm!

  He would have been an addition to their Azure Dragon institute’s Highgod Realm masters!

  But, Huwang Xiao killed Lu Cong!

  Qin Yi’s eyes turned bloodshot, roaring: “Huwang Xiao, go die!” Qin Yi’s right palm enlarged by several times, becoming covered by a layer of azure dragon scales, slamming down on Huwang Xiao.

  Azure Dragon qi rushed out from Qin Yi’s right palm, transforming into a huge azure dragon. Its roar shook the heavens.

  The guests below snapped out from their shock.

  Astonished by the strength shown by his own disciple, the Black Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang didn’t expect the Azure Dragon Institute Principal to suddenly attack Huwang Xiao. When he did notice, he bellowed: “Qin Yi, you old dog, you dare!!” His palm struck at Qin Yi, but he had still reacted a step too late.

  Qin Yi’s attack continued to slam down. Just as Qin Yi’s attack was about to hit Huwang Xiao, a giant lotus bloomed on the stage, emitting a faint pink mist as it spun, blocking the huge azure dragon.

  The huge azure dragon crashed straight into the enormous lotus flower. The pink lotus grew increasingly bright and the azure dragon roared. Azure light soared skyward, but no matter what, it couldn’t break past the enormous lotus’ pink-colored barrier.

  The surrounding guests saw Qin Yi slam down his palm in rage, forming a powerful azure dragon that could destroy heaven and earth, yet it was actually unable to break past that seemingly fragile lotus barrier that could barely withstand one attack.

  All eyes turned toward Saint Mother Yao Chi.

  Clearly, this enormous lotus was formed by Saint Mother Yao Chi’s lotus godforce.

  By this point, the Black Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang’s palm force arrived, dispersing the huge azure dragon.

  Subsequently, the lotus flower gradually disappeared.

 
“Institute Principal Qin, death and injuries are unavoidable in stage battles.” Saint Mother Yao Chi’s tepid tone sounded, “It’s only a competition between juniors, I’m surprised that Institute Principal Qin would act.”

  Although Saint Mother Yao Chi’s were said in a roundabout manner, everyone present knew that she was chiding Qin Yi. A Highgod Realm master, disregarding their identity and occasion, tried to kill Huwang Xiao.

  They were at the Yaochi Mountain, and right now was Saint Mother Yao Chi’s birthday banquet. Qin Yi attacked disregarding this matter, this was simply akin to not putting Saint Mother Yao Chi in his eyes.

  Saint Mother Yao Chi’s pressure quietly spread, covering the entire Yaochi Mountain peak, but most of it was focused on Qin Yi.

  Qin Yi’s expression turned ugly. After hesitating for a while, he forcefully squeezed out a smile, “Hehe, Saint Mother Yao Chi is right, death and injuries are unavoidable. Actually, the action just now had no other meaning than wanting to test Huwang Xiao’s strength, maybe advise him a little. I didn’t know it would cause Saint Mother Yao Chi and Institute Principal Feng Yang to misunderstand.”

  All the guests were stumped, no one imagined that Qin Yi was actually so shameless. It was obvious to everyone that he wanted to kill Huwang Xiao in one move, but now, he actually said that he only wanted to assess Huwang Xiao’s strength and advise him!

  “Is that so?” Saint Mother Yao Chi responded noncommittally, her serene face gave nothing away.

  Feng Yang snorted with disdain, his chilling gaze fixed on Qin Yi.

  If they weren’t at Saint Mother Yao Chi’s birthday celebration banquet, he would run up and fight Qin Yi.

  Of course, the most important thing was that Huwang Xiao wasn’t hurt. Feng Yang was grateful for Saint Mother Yao Chi’s help, saving Huwang Xiao.

  Feng Yang returned to his seat, staring fixedly at the Azure Dragon Institute Principal with a somber face, when he suddenly laughed out loud, “Speaking of the bet, I really need to thank Institute Principal Qin for sending five hundred billion Qinglong coins to us ah. Hehe, is Institute Principal interested in making another bet?” Feng Yang deliberately raised his voice saying ‘five hundred billion.’
