Martial God Asura

The light began to recede, though it remained blindingly bright.

There were countless mysteries out in the boundless space that had yet to be explored, but the greatest enigma that caught everyone’s eyes at this instant was the humongous spirit formation gate that spanned a size larger than even realms.

All powers were restless, but no one dared to move.

Even the strongest powers in the world of cultivation had yet to move; they dared not to move before them.

Just then, a person walked out from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s largest flying warship. Everyone turned their eyes over.

That person looked insignificant to the backdrop of vast space, and he wasn’t emanating any aura either. Yet, everyone looked at him with deferential eyes. Some even felt their heartbeat hasten.

The noisy world fell silent.

It was the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master, Jie Tianran, the person deemed to be the strongest among present-era cultivators.

Jie Tianran began pacing toward the spirit formation gate with his hands behind his back, but halfway through, he suddenly halted his footsteps and looked back.

“This era came to be known as God’s Era because of this silhouette that envelops the Seven Realms Galaxy. It represents power beyond our imagination, and it inspires fear and greed.

“Whether this is the only God’s Era or that it has happened many times before, there’s no question that this era is a special one to us, for this is the era that we are living in. Everything we have is devoted to this era. This era shines because of our existence! This era belongs to everyone, so it’s only right for us to share this fortuitous encounter.

“Everyone, you need not fear. Bring out everything you have to explore whatever lies inside the spirit formation gate. Whatever you attain will be yours.”

Resounding applause reverberated. Even Chu Feng could hear it despite being a far distance away.

Jie Tianran was saying that he wouldn’t restrict anyone from competing in God’s Era.

Thus, some people made their way toward the spirit formation gate, and more followed suit. Some put on their treasures. Some released their martial power. Some constructed formations. Many of them began emanating a brilliant light as a result, and they looked like a meteor shower rushing toward the spirit formation gate.

It was an incredible sight.

Jip jip jip!

A bizarre sound echoed from the spirit formation gate.

A pitch-black monstrous beast emerged from the spirit formation gate. Its form resembled a human, but it was ten thousand meters tall with blood-red eyes and gigantic fangs, looking almost like a zombie. It had black wings similar to a bat, spanning over a hundred thousand meters wide.

It opened its mouth wide and released a piercing sonic boom that rippled as visible white waves, swiftly spreading over a vast area.

The cultivators who had charged toward the spirit formation gate were caught in the sonic boom. They didn’t feel any discomfort, but their bodies froze in place.

A moment later, the white sonic boom suddenly turned red.

Blood splattered. Those who were caught in the sonic boom, be they humans or monstrous beasts, exploded into a puddle of blood water in space.

“A monstrous beast! There’s a monstrous beast!”

Those who had survived the ordeal turned tail in a panic and fled.

However, the gigantic bat monstrous beast didn’t plan to let them slip away. It flapped its massive wings and chased after the escaping crowd. It was so fast that it didn’t take long for it to catch up with them.

With a swipe of its claws, the surrounding space quivered. Those caught in its attack were shredded into pieces.

“Heavenly God! That’s a Heavenly God level monstrous beast!”

The crowd widened their eyes in realization. The monstrous beast was so strong because it was a Heavenly God level cultivator!

By this point, those who hadn’t made a move yet and even those who were far from the spirit formation gate turned tail to flee.

Just then, there was a brilliant flash of light that caught the crowd’s attention. A thousand-meters-long formation sword surged toward the bat monstrous beast, but it wasn’t particularly fast.

The bat monstrous beast halted. A sneer formed on its lips, thinking that the formation sword wouldn’t be able to deal any damage to it.

All of a sudden, the formation sword accelerated.

By the time the crowd realized what had happened, the formation sword had already plunged into the bat monstrous beast and ended its life.

Loud cheers ensued.

The formation sword flew back to a figure that looked insignificant compared to the bat monstrous beast before dissipating as spirit power. He was none other than Jie Tianran.

The bat monstrous beast might be a Heavenly God level cultivator, but the present-era cultivators had Jie Tianran on their side! He stood at the forefront, looking like a guardian deity for the rest of the world.

Jip jip jip!

More screeching noises echoed from the spirit formation gate. Rippling sonic booms appeared once more, and they spread even further than before.

Many of those closer to the spirit formation gates began bleeding from their seven apertures.

Jie Tianran quickly constructed a barrier with a wave of his sleeves to stop the sonic booms. Then, he began making his way toward the spirit formation gate.

However, he stopped a few seconds later. What happened next caused him to frown a little.

More bat monstrous beasts emerged from the spirit formation gate once more, but this time, there were at least millions of them, covering the entire area. Their physiques and auras were identical to the one that had come before.

Millions of Heavenly God level cultivators?

This sight drove everyone to despair.

Shoosh!

A copper sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was small, looking like an ordinary sword, but everyone sensed its existence. Even Jie Tianran turned around to take a look.

The copper sword first sliced through Jie Tianran’s barrier before rushing past him toward the millions of bat monstrous beasts. It began to accelerate, reaching a speed that made even Jie Tianran’s eyes narrow in shock.

It was so fast that no one could see it.

Before anyone could register it, millions of bat monstrous beasts had been killed. Their bodies were still there, but they had breathed their last.

The small copper sword stood amidst the millions of gigantic bodies, emanating an indomitable aura!
