Martial God Asura

Chu Feng and the others passed through the fish head entrance and advanced deeper into the Immemorial Massacre Sea.

Everything looked normal at first, but the black fog and the black seawater’s billowing slowly died down as they advanced, till the sea ahead looked no different from a mirror. There was not the slightest wave or ripple to be seen. 

It was eerily quiet. 

A dangerous aura could be felt from the calm sea surface, and it seeped into their bodies as if warning them of the threat lurking ahead. 

“That rumored killing intent must be right ahead of us. Don’t hesitate to kick me out if I fail to withstand the killing intent. Staying alive is more important to me than anything else,” Ouyang Kuangfei told the others. 

“Same for me too.”

“Me too.”

The other Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors nodded in agreement.

Chu Feng looked at Little Fishy. The latter looked back with a smile. 

Chu Feng could tell that Little Fishy’s smile had become more genuine after the earlier incident.

“Are you ready?” Chu Feng asked.

“Heh…” Little Fishy merely replied with a mischievous smile.

Shoosh!

A wave rose and gushed straight for the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s center. Little Fishy’s cheerful voice echoed in the wave’s wake, “I shall be the first one there. Big brother, you can trail behind me!”

Chu Feng shook his head. Little Fishy remained eccentric despite having grown up now.

That being said, he also dashed forward. 

The moment he stepped into the calm sea region, an intense killing intent assaulted his heart and mind. This killing intent not only evoked fear but also plunged his mind into disarray too. 

It would be extremely dangerous if he lost himself to this killing intent. 

“Everyone, listen well! The killing intent in the fog and the seawater is much more intense, so you mustn’t enter them under any circumstances. Make sure you remain clear-headed. If you ever find yourself struggling to clutch onto your rationality, leave right away, or it might cost you your life.” 

Chu Feng left those words behind for Long Chengyu, Ouyang Kuangfei, and the others before chasing after Little Fishy. 

His priority right now was to ensure Little Fishy’s safety.

Chu Feng and Little Fishy moved so fast that they quickly disappeared from the crowd’s view. It was as if they were unfazed by the killing intent.  

Even though Long Chengyu, Ouyang Kuangfei, and the others knew they were lacking compared to Chu Feng and Little Fishy, they had a strong pride from being lauded as prodigies from a young age. 

So, they tried their best to chase Chu Feng and Little Fishy.

However, pride had to be paired with some rationality and self-awareness, or else it could culminate into a disaster.

The crowd was divided into three.

The first group comprised Chu Feng and Little Fishy.

The second group had Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, Ouyang Kuangfei, and the other five Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s True God level prodigies. 

The third group was the remaining pinnacle Half-God level Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors.

There were clear gaps among the three groups.

None of them wanted to lose here. They blindly trusted their abilities and even ignored Chu Feng’s warning. They thought even if the killing intent blurred their consciousness, there should be nothing to worry about as long as they could continue advancing. 

They could just retreat when they truly reached their limit.

But often, it was already too late to turn back when they realized something was amiss. They couldn’t even call for help once their minds had been engulfed by madness. 

An Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s junior had just succumbed to madness, but he didn’t even think about asking for help, for he had already forgotten how to breathe. 

As he lost himself, the calm sea suddenly exerted a powerful suction force that dragged him down from the sky into the Immemorial Massacre Sea. 

Some of the still rational Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors swooped in to rescue him, but it was to no avail. The junior who succumbed to madness instantly vanished; not even his aura could be felt.  

Some of the more daring ones leaped into the sea, but as Chu Feng had warned, the killing intent inside the water was several times more intense. These people began struggling as soon as they entered the sea, and within moments, they were swept into the sea’s depths.  

“Don’t enter the sea! Don’t enter the sea! Everyone, retreat right now! Follow me out!” 

A female junior realized what was going on and tried to take control of the situation. She must have been of higher standing, as the other Ouyang Heavenly Clansmen obeyed her despite their cultivation being around the same level. 

They followed her back to the entrance of the calm sea region. 

By this point, they had no choice but to concede this was their limit. Venturing any further than this would cost them their lives. 

Those sucked into the sea would likely, like their ancestors, return as corpses.

Soon, Long Chengyu and the others returned too with terrible complexions.

Eventually, the only ones who hadn’t returned were Chu Feng and Little Fishy.

“This darned place is impossible! We came in vain! I guess it’s down to those two monsters to unravel the mystery of this place,” Ouyang Kuangfei said with a sigh. 

He didn’t feel regret as he had already given it his best and ventured as far as he could. 

“Should we wait for them here?” 

The other Ouyang Heavenly Clansmen looked at Ouyang Kuangfei.

“Let’s not wait for them here. There could be a teleportation formation inside that brings them out of the Immemorial Massacre Sea once they clear the trial. If so, we would be wasting our time waiting for them here. And to be frank, we don’t have the means to help them even if they meet with trouble,” Ouyang Kuangfei said.

The crowd thought his words made sense, including Long Chengyu and Long Muxi. 

More importantly, Long Chengyu and Long Muxi believed in Chu Feng and Little Fishy.

Thus, all of them returned to the Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s palace. 

The Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s elders didn’t blame them for retreating. They knew their juniors had already tried their best. 

Meanwhile, Chu Feng and Little were traveling together, but the sea region they were currently traversing looked different from before. 

The black aura above and the seawater beneath them was as calm as still water, but countless red eyes could be spotted amidst the black aura. These red eyes looked sinister and menacing, but more importantly, they felt more like real entities than mere illusions.

Many mouths with sharp teeth also appeared in the seawater. Like the red eyes amidst the black aura, they felt incredibly real.

Even though Chu Feng and Little Fishy couldn’t see the true form of these entities, they knew they would risk getting devoured if they dropped into the sea.

Still, the most terrifying factor remained the killing intent. It was constantly assaulting them, and it only grew stronger the deeper they ventured. 

Both Chu Feng and Little Fishy dared not rush ahead anymore, opting instead to move at a controlled speed one step at a time. 

Despite being in such a dangerous environment, a subtle smile persistently lingered on Little Fishy’s lips. It was hard to discern, but it was overflowing with sweetness and satisfaction. 

Not only did she get to travel together with Chu Feng, but the latter even grabbed her hand out of fear that they might get separated. It had been some time since they started linking hands.

Little Fishy found herself hoping that the path would be longer as she relished this moment.
