Chapter 938: Chapter 232: Xiushi Emperor

Yet Feng You, when faced with the murderous Xiushi Emperor, calmly started to cast his Escape Technique, intending to flee into the ground to hide. But halfway through casting, his complexion drastically changed.

The blood shadow that soared like a hawk grabbing a rabbit suddenly stalled in mid-air, revealing the Xiushi Emperor’s face full of shock. The two who had just been fighting to the death now smoothly moved together into the hall, and upon looking up, their faces turned to great horror.

The towering Asura God Statue, reaching dozens of feet high, began to crack from the head down, large chunks of stone tumbling from the top of the Asura God Statue’s head, hitting the ground so hard that the whole temple shook, and these tremors further accelerated the cracking of the statue.

But in the large hole in its chest, the Asura Divine Heart had vanished, leaving only a tall, thin man wearing a Gou Chen Mask and Star Robe, hunched over in pain, with a Corpse Refiner lying beside him.

Standing shoulder to shoulder, the two men who had just been fighting to the death now both sported gloomy expressions. Feng You couldn’t help but speak up, “Mr. Gou Chen, that joke is not the least bit amusing. Please hand over the Asura Divine Heart immediately, do not lead yourself astray!”

The Xiushi Emperor, standing to the side, also said sternly, “Whoever you are, hand over the Asura Divine Heart at once. I can forgive and forget, otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless!”

...

To both the Feitian Clan and the Ancient Blood Tower, the Asura God Statue was of utmost importance; for the former due to its origin, for the latter due to its schemes.

With the Divine Heart gone, it was like a scholar who had studied hard for decades, aspiring for academic honors, only to suddenly discover that the imperial examination had been abolished, causing panic.

Even though he harbored extreme hatred for Tang Luo, the Xiushi Emperor still patiently probed. Had it been under normal circumstances, he probably would have already taken up arms.

But Tang Luo had no strength left to reply to the two men. As soon as the two fought out of the hall, and the Xiushi Emperor withdrew the protective divine ability, he who had completed the Evil Qi expulsion quietly flipped down from the palm of the statue. He intended to shatter the Asura Divine Heart with a predestined energy arrow, but that accumulation of thousands of years of Evil Qi was not something his predestined energy arrow could shatter.

If given enough time, he could slowly grind down the Divine Heart using the natural yin and yang forces, but would the two people outside give him that much time?

In the midst of deep contemplation, a spark of Spiritual Light suddenly flashed across Tang Luo’s mind. Perhaps, he could take advantage of their battle, transform into a giant, and swallow the Asura Divine Heart whole?

With so much pure energy contained within the Evil Qi condensed over thousands of years by the Feitian Sect, even though his physical body couldn’t withstand the invasion of the Blood Fiend, it would be fine once swallowed into the Void Stomach.

Doing so would not only sever the roots of the Feitian Sect but also grant him an additional method to repel enemies. Why wouldn’t he rejoice at such an opportunity?

He had thought that with his fourth-grade Undying Battle Body, swallowing a single Asura Divine Heart would be a piece of cake, but as he attempted to absorb it, he found that it was not so simple.

The Asura Divine Heart turned out to be the core of the Divine Array in the Vita Temple. Only by destroying the Spiritual Power nodes could he sever the link between the Asura Divine Heart and the Divine Array, making the devouring possible.

Luckily, he possessed a pair of eyes that could see through Spiritual Power. After disconnecting several nodes on the Asura God Statue, he gleefully stuck his head forward and swallowed the Asura Divine Heart whole.

Then, a vast sea of Evil Qi destroyed his Undying Battle Body. The Blood Fiend further corrupted his teeth, nose, and tongue, leaving half of Tang Luo’s face under the Gou Chen Mask eroded into a bloody hole, his tongue reduced to a puddle of blood. The surging Evil Qi recklessly rampaged through his body, devouring his flesh, burning his meridians, and though his body was extremely robust, it had no resistance against the Blood Fiend that had been brewed for thousands of years.

Tang Luo, huddled in the large hole in the chest of the Asura God Statue, had never felt such weakness before. Although he had swallowed the Asura Divine Heart into his Void Stomach, he now lacked all strength to resist. The Evil Qi was causing havoc inside his body.

What’s more deadly was that due to the loss of the Asura Divine Heart, the Asura God Statue, which had been eroded by Evil Qi for thousands of years, was already riddled with holes and collapsing. And he couldn’t even dodge at this moment—a truly life-threatening situation.

The three heads of the Asura God Statue had already collapsed one after another, and cracks were spreading to the statue’s neck. Feng You and the Xiushi Emperor, watching the still hunched figure, nearly flew up at the same time, fighting to seize Tang Luo.

“Cover—Great Dark Heaven!”

The Xiushi Emperor, soaring upwards, threw a Great Dark Heaven to cover the temple, blocking Feng You. He turned into a blood shadow and, in a blink, he reached the chest of the statue. Just as he was about to grab Tang Luo with outstretched hands, the Corpse Refiner suddenly rose, revealing its hideous deathly face from Calcutta.

Even after having faced countless battles, the Xiushi Emperor remained calm as he witnessed the dead Asura King rise. With Blood Fiend power, he created a Blood Fiend spear and trust it towards the chest of the Corpse Refiner, piercing it right through.noveldrama

The Blood Fiend spear created a large hole as it pierced through the Corpse Refiner’s chest, sending it flying with unmatched force and pinning it to the wall. The Xiushi Emperor, after completing the attack, didn’t even glance at the Calcutta Corpse Refiner as he reached for Tang Luo. The powerful Asura King was confident that once someone was struck by his Blood Fiend divine weapon, they wouldn’t stand a chance at resistance.

Because the Blood Fiend would jumble all the Spiritual Power, and a Corpse Refiner also required Spiritual Power to move. With the Blood Fiend spear inside it, the seventy-two spiritual runes on the body of the Corpse Refiner dimmed.

The Xiushi’s confidence was not misplaced, but he had forgotten that Calcutta was also an Asura King, a warrior who cultivated Evil Qi. Perhaps the Blood Fiend divine weapon would be fatal for 99% of the world’s warriors, but definitely not for the Feitian Clan.

The Corpse Refiner, nailed to the wall, suddenly opened its mouth, and a burst of green and black Divine Light struck the Xiushi Emperor’s chest, sending him flying out from the hole and burning a large hole in his chest, revealing the chilling white bones inside.

In pain, the Xiushi Emperor let out a furious roar and set off the Blood Fiend divine weapon inside the Corpse Refiner’s chest, blowing it up into a shower of blood and broken flesh.

The already unstable Asura God Statue couldn’t withstand the Xiushi Emperor’s forceful hit. Like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, countless cracks spread from the large hole in the chest of the statue outwards, starting an unprecedented collapse.

The falling rocks instantly buried Tang Luo inside. The Asura God Statue, with just its half body towering dozens of feet high, collapsed with a thunderous crash, and the massive stones hit the columns supporting the temple, causing the main hall soaring into the sky to shake violently.

“No!!!!”

The Xiushi Emperor, tossed out, saw Tang Luo about to be buried under the rocks and, ignoring the wound in his chest, tried to rush into the collapsing rubble to save him. But before he could get close, a giant bone claw, like a pillar of heaven, emerged from the ground and slapped him away with a single strike.

“Your Excellency should first go back to the palace to heal. Leave the matter of the Asura Divine Heart to me,” Feng You, having knocked away the Xiushi Emperor and with the barrier technique dispelled, stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, flanked by four undying bone protectors. After a sinister remark, he moved to seize Tang Luo. But before he could step forward, he felt an intense pang of anxiety and hurriedly escaped underground.
