Martial God Asura

As the sword pierced through the God Mother, everyone in the eight galaxies, be it the realm they were in or their cultivation, felt a destructive aura enveloping them. 

Though this aura only lasted for an instant. 

The God Mother dissipated after being stabbed, and the massive black sword returned where it came from. 

There was not a single person observing Calmlake Upper Realm who didn’t have a pale face. They noticed a word inscribed on the blade of the massive black sword—Asura!

“Asura… Is that an Ancient Era’s race too?”

“Is this infighting among Ancient Era’s races?”

“There’s an Ancient Era’s race even more terrifying than the God Clan!”

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s elders speculated among themselves. Despite being world spiritists, none of them thought that terrifying power was from the Asura Spirit World. They didn’t think a world spirit could wield such power. 

… 

In Calmlake Upper Realm’s underground world, the Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen were all staring at Chu Feng. 

Chu Feng was no longer just a red lightning entity; half of his body was covered by a black aura. His current appearance resembled a god or a demon. 

The black aura originated from Chu Feng’s black sword.

Being in proximity, the Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen could more vividly sense the terrifying power harnessed in that black sword. Even though the black sword had retracted its might, the power it had exerted in that instant was something they would never forget in their lifetime.

Chu Feng walked up to Shen Yi with the Asura Sword. He grabbed Shen Yi’s head and dragged him up from the ground. 

Shen Yi’s body was withered like a dying man. His eyes had lost their previous sharpness and were now mired in despair. 

“Ch-Chu Feng,” he feebly murmured.

Even speaking was arduous for him. 

“Spare me. I-I’ll apologize to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan. I-I’ll willingly serve as your slave. Please, spare my life.” 

He dropped his pride as a god and began begging for mercy despite having devoured his clansmen earlier for begging Chu Feng for mercy just moments ago. It turned out he wasn’t above that.

Chu Feng looked at Shen Yi and sneered, “God?”

He tightened his clutch on Shen Yi, pumping a bizarre but powerful energy into the latter’s body.

Shen Yi’s face distorted. His body trembled uncontrollably. Despite barely having the energy to speak, he opened his mouth and let out a piercing shriek.

“GAHHHHH!”

Chu Feng’s energy ravaged his body. Shen Yi had never experienced such intense pain since his birth. It was far worse than having his arms lopped off.

Chu Feng thought Shen Yi would succumb to the pain and beg for death instead, but the latter looked at him with pleading eyes and said, “Chu Feng, spare me.”

Shen Yi was still begging for mercy. He still desired to live.

Chu Feng further tightened his grip. With a poof, Shen Yi dissipated into thin air. 

Shortly after killing Shen Yi, Chu Feng slumped onto the ground. The Asura Sword slipped from his hands as his Lightning Wings dissipated. 

Just a moment ago, Chu Feng was a domineering lightning god, but he was now a patient on his deathbed. Lightning continued to crackle around him, but it looked dimmer than ever as if it would extinguish at any moment.

“Big brother!”

Little Fishy rushed to Chu Feng’s side to grab his hand and examine his condition, but to her astonishment, her hand passed right through her body. 

Chu Feng was no longer corporeal.

“Chu Feng!!!”

Xianhai Shaoyu and the other Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen rushed to Chu Feng’s side too.

Xianhai Shaoyu had always treated Chu Feng as his brother.

The Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen had mixed feelings about Chu Feng, but today, their sentiments were all aligned. Without Chu Feng, there wouldn’t be them. Chu Feng was their clan’s savior. 

Sensing something was amiss, Little Fishy aimed her palm at her dantian.

Pah!

Chu Feng’s hand suddenly shot forth and grabbed her wrist. She was unable to touch Chu Feng, but he could still grab her.

“Don’t waste your effort,” Chu Feng said feebly before his hand slumped back down. 

“Big brother!” 

Little Fishy wanted to carry Chu Feng up, but she couldn’t even do something as simple as that. It was as if Chu Feng had turned into a ghost; she couldn’t touch him at all. She was so anxious that tears trickled down her cheeks.

“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault,” she sobbed in self-reproach.

But Chu Feng weakly consoled her, “Don’t cry. Didn’t I promise to protect you? I chose to do this myself. It’s not your fault.”

Those words used up his remaining strength. His consciousness slowly slipped away as his eyelids grew heavier. The moment his eyes closed, the lightning around him scattered, and he vanished into thin air. 

Meanwhile, in the contract formation, Chu Feng’s life stone was already covered in cracks.

Eggy and the Asura World Spirit Army stared worriedly at the life stone. Many of the Asura World Spirits, despite their usual valor, had broken down in tears. 

They didn’t know what happened, but the cracks on the life stone indicated that things weren’t going well for Chu Feng. 

Nevertheless, they still hoped for a miracle. As long as the life stone remained intact, there would be a sliver of hope for Chu Feng. 

Whoosh!

The life stone suddenly shattered into countless fragments.

The Asura King and the Asura World Spirit Army fell into despair. Many Asura World Spirits collapsed to the ground. 

The worst still happened in the end. This was a huge blow to all of them.

Pah!

A dense black aura suddenly rampaged, shoving the Asura World Spirit Army to the corner of the formation. 

The black aura was from Eggy.

Her face was icy-cold, and her hair fluttered wildly. The black aura she emanated intensified, causing the contract formation to shake. 

Alarmed, the Asura King anxiously rushed to Eggy, but he was unable to breach the black aura to get to her. 

“Miss Eggy, you mustn’t! Lord Chu Feng imprisoned us here to keep you safe. If something happens to you here, Lord Chu Feng’s efforts will have been in vain!” the Asura King urged.

Eggy was exerting power far beyond her current cultivation, allowing her to shake even the contract formation, but at the same time, her life force was swiftly being drained. 

She would die at this rate. 

But Eggy’s eyes were filled with conviction. 

It was one thing if Chu Feng was safe and sound. 

But if Chu Feng was dead, she would make the culprit pay with their life, even at the expense of her own.
