Martial God Asura

What covered Song Changsheng’s sight was neither a blue sky filled with white clouds nor the starry expanse of space, but a gigantic mouth filled with sharp teeth. Anyone in his place would have been scared out of their wits.

Something like that could have easily devoured an entire realm and all the lives in it.

But Song Changsheng was unfazed.

Shoosh!

There was a cold flash of light, and fresh blood that could fill oceans poured out. The whisker with the massive mouth had been cut down.

It was Tianjian Qingyuan.

“You didn’t have to do that,” Song Changsheng said.

“I don’t like to be exploited,” Tianjian Qingyuan replied.

She swiped two fingers across her sword, and glowing runes appeared on its surface. Then, she thrust her sword forth.

Humongous sword intents manifested before her and gushed into the sky. These were the sword intents she had used to massacre the behemoths earlier, and there were thousands of them.

This was an attack that could easily destroy a smaller starfield.

Before this torrent of sword intents, the colossal being looked small. Yet, he remarked with a grin, “Interesting.”

...

Meanwhile, Tianjian Canhua walked up to the Lightning Flame Sword and stared at it with hesitant eyes. Can I really pull out this sword? Will I be in danger if I fail to do so?

“Canhua, do you intend to continue waiting? Do you not desire the sword?” the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s Palace Master urged her.

So, Tianjian Canhua cast aside her hesitation and grabbed the Lightning Flame Sword.

Boom!

A powerful surge of oppressive might suddenly swept across the area, only to dissipate before it could reach Tianjian Canhua. It was the Palace Master who blocked it.

After blocking the oppressive might, the Palace Master turned to Ye Xiancheng with a look of surprise. “It’s you?”

Ye Xiancheng emanated a divine aura, and his cultivation had risen to rank five Heavenly God level.

“Xiancheng...” Ye Xiancheng’s parents looked at him with conflicted eyes.

They knew that Ye Xiancheng had tapped into the Immortal Legacy’s power, but this power was non-regenerative. This meant that every bit of energy depleted from the Immortal Legacy would be gone for good.

The Immortal Legacy had great significance to the Ye Immortal Clan. Ye Xiancheng understood that and wouldn’t have used it unless forced to a corner.

But the current situation called for it.

“I’m warning you right now. Don’t even think about touching that sword,” Ye Xiancheng growled at Tianjian Canhua.

Tianjian Canhua dared not to make a reckless move, intimidated by Ye Xiancheng’s aura.

“I can see now that it’s not without reason you became the Ye Immortal Clan’s Clan Chief despite being a junior. You do have some substance. Someone with your potential is destined to achieve greatness. If we join hands, given your and Canhua’s talent, we can make a place for ourselves even in the Ninth Galaxy,” the Palace Master said.

“Leave that talk for the future. Please don’t touch that sword right now,” Ye Xiancheng said.

“Are you planning to interfere in our business, too?” The Palace Master narrowed her eyes.

“Not at all. I’m not that nosey.”

Ye Xiancheng waved his hands as if to profess his innocence, only to abruptly shoot out three beams of golden light from his fingertip and consecutively use three God Taboo Martial Skills: Immortal Protection, Immortal Footwork, and Immortal Suppression.

He flitted behind the Palace Master and thrust his spear toward her head.

The Palace Master hurriedly raised her sword to block the attack, but Ye Xiancheng’s spear suddenly vanished. Before the Palace Master could react, Ye Xiancheng’s spear had already impaled her dantian.

It was Formless Spearmanship.

“You little bastard...” The Palace Master glared at Ye Xiancheng.

But Ye Xiancheng fearlessly replied, “You old hag. Chu Feng is my brother. His problem is my problem. You’re the one who shouldn’t be interfering.”

Ye Xiancheng suddenly lurched. To his astonishment, the Palace Master revealed an eerie smile despite glaring at him with gritted teeth. Sensing something amiss, Ye Xiancheng quickly channeled his martial power into his spear and pulled his spear downward.

He was planning to kill the Palace Master for good.

But as he swung his spear, his heart clenched. He could already feel that his spear had missed, striking thin air. But that shouldn’t have been the case.

He took a closer look and finally understood what happened.

The Palace Master had dissipated into a whiff of golden aura. The golden aura drifted into the distance before converging back into the Palace Master. Her dantian injury was still present, but her disposition suddenly changed, and all her injuries began swiftly healing.

Even her clothes regenerated.

Ye Xiancheng realized the situation had gone awry.

He was planning to curb the Palace Master in a single strike, for a prolonged battle wouldn’t be to his benefit. However, it turned out he had underestimated the Heavensword Sacred Palace.

All members of the Heavensword Sacred Palace rose into the air and took their places behind their Palace Master. They formed hand seals and emanated peculiar lights. They were probably the ones who rescued and healed the Palace Master.

“Someone as young as you wants to preach to me about loyalty? Do you understand the price you have to pay for your loyalty? The Ye Immortal Clan will be wiped from the face of the world because of your folly!”

The Palace Master pointed her finger at Ye Xiancheng, and a sword rain descended.

Ye Xiancheng easily deflected the sword rain with a sweep of his spear.

“I don’t think you’re capable enough to erase our Ye Immortal Clan,” Ye Xiancheng scoffed as he charged at the Palace Master once more.

This time, the Palace Master was prepared. She stepped forth to face him.

However, she couldn’t see through Ye Xiancheng’s moves. His Formless Spearmanship was impossible to read. In just a few clashes, she suffered yet another strike to her dantian.

But the same thing happened again. After the Palace Master was stabbed, she dissipated into a golden aura and converged elsewhere.

“Get into formation!” the Palace Master shouted.

A massive sword of golden light descended from the sky and plunged into the square.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiancheng performed a feint before suddenly turning his martial power toward the members of the Heavensword Sacred Palace. Since he couldn’t kill their Palace Master, he decided to deal with the ones protecting her first.
