Asura Sovereign XIV Read online

  He was a blue dragon that had never existed before, exuding a majestic dragon might. Dragon roars reverberated between heaven and earth the instant the blue divine dragon appeared.

  Fang Chu took a step back in apprehension, “You, you’re from the Dragon Clan?!”

  Huwang Xiao did not answer. With a sway of his body, he arrived right above Fang Chu’s head, then a giant dragon claw with darkness and lightning godforce slammed down.

  Fang Chu quickly dodged in panic. He had barely dodged, but the entire hall violently shook. Looking back, Fang Chu saw that the spot he had just stood in already turned into a giant pit! A big pit in the shape of a dragon claw!

  Bursts of fear struck his heart, even their fierce battle earlier did not manage to cause this extent of damage to the floor. After Huwang Xiao transformed into a primordial divine dragon, the power of a single claw was this terrifying!

  While Fang Chu was still in shock, Huwang Xiao didn’t even look at him. With another sway of his dragon body, a huge dragon tail swept toward Fang Chu.

  The wind screamed as the huge dragon tail came at him, Fang Chu dared not resist it with his body, dodging away miserably. Huwang Xiao’s dragon tail struck a stone pillar, turning it into rubble.

  Watching Fang Chu dodge his attack again, Huwang Xiao’s speed increased. Before Fang Chu could react, Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw had struck him, knocking him into the air. When he crashed to the floor, his brocade white robe exploded into fragments and blood was flowing out from his wounds. The Gate of Fortune behind him flickered violently, as if it could shatter at any moment.

  Ch.879

  Huwang Xiao did not stop after knocking Fang Chu into the air with his claw. With another quick sway of his dragon body, he once again appeared above Fang Chu, sending a dragon claw slamming down.

  Fang Chu was embedded deep into the hard floor, and the Gate of Fortune behind him exploded into motes of lights under Huwang Xiao’s attack.

  Fang Chu was bathed in his own blood, so much that it hardly seemed like there was any intact part in his body.

  However, in the next second, a burst of light came from him, his eyes surged with killing intent and hatred glaring at Huwang Xiao. His mouth then split into a sinister, hideous grin, “Huwang Xiao, so what if you’re really part of the ancient Dragon Clan and have powerful attacks? I’ve long achieved the Body of Creation, capable of abstracting any existing energy under the heavens. No matter how heavy my injuries are, I can recover! Moreover, my Fortune Godhead is a high level emperor rank godhead!”

  “You have no way of destroying my soul, I’m destined to become a peerless great emperor in the Divine World!”

  “You aren't capable of killing me now, and therefore, the one who shall die in the future will be you!” Fang Chu laughed loudly, borderline hysteric.

  High emperor rank godhead!

  Fortune Godhead!

  Huwang Xiao was genuinely shocked, this Fortune Godhead that Fang Chu condensed actually reached high emperor rank! Even Xiang Mingzhi who obtained the Azure Dragon Divine Fire only managed to condense a top rank ten godhead.

  Above high emperor rank was top emperor rank, and above that was supreme rank godhead! Supreme rank godhead like Huwang Xiao possessed!

  “Huwang Xiao, you’re very shocked, right? That my godhead is high emperor rank.” Noticing the shock on Huwang Xiao’s face, Fang Chu chuckled complacently, “The fact that I can condense a high emperor rank godhead proves that I’m someone with a great destiny and fortune, I won’t die so easily.”

  “Is that so?” Looking at the obvious complacency on Fang Chu’s face, Huwang Xiao snickered. A shimmering gray flame appeared around his dragon claw, becoming denser.

  The moment the shimmering gray flame appeared, the surrounding space began to collapse.

  The complacency on Fang Chu’s face froze, that shimmering gray light actually made him feel death’s breath!

  “Huwang Xiao, wait!” Fang Chu shouted.

  But Huwang Xiao’s dragon claw did not stop at all, the shimmering gray flame penetrated Fang Chu’s forehead, straight into his soul sea.

  Above Fang Chu’s soul sea was an enormous floating godhead close to one thousand li in diameter. It was an enormous godhead emitting all types off light that could possibly exist in the world.

  This was Fang Chu’s Fortune Godhead. Although its size couldn't compete with Huwang Xiao’s supreme godheads, it was astonishing compared to the regular godheads.

  Huwang Xiao’s shimmering gray flame aimed straight at Fang Chu’s Fortune Godhead the moment it entered his soul sea, spreading over that enormous godhead. Fang Chu’s Fortune Godhead suddenly emitted a glaring light, violently shaking as it tried to throw off Huwang Xiao’s gray flame, but that flame almost instantly incinerated the glaring light from the Fortune Godhead. Barely a moment later, the gray flame had already wrapped around the godhead, penetrating the last of Fang Chu’s protective barriers and drilling into his Fortune Godhead.

  Fang Chu’s face turned deathly pale watching his. He was anxious and furious, vehemently denying it, “No, no, how is this possible?! What flame is this! Not the Azure Dragon Divine Fire!”

  Because his godhead was high emperor rank, Fang Chu believed that not even the Azure Dragon Divine Fire could burn through his godhead’s protective barriers.

  Huwang Xiao snorted, “Of course it isn't the Azure Dragon Divine Fire.” This was the result of four divine fires merging into one, giving birth to a new kind of fire!

  As for what kind of fire this was, Huwang Xiao himself didn't know at this time.

  “Huwang Xiao, don’t kill me, there’s no benefit in killing me. Once you leave this place, the Fortune Gate will not spare you!” Fang Chu screamed in fear, “I’ve obtained the treasures inside Fortune Gate Old Ancestor’s cultivation dwelling. There’s Divine Fortune Pellet, I can give it to you!”

  Fang Chu’s Fortune Godhead flickered unstably as he made a last effort to fight Huwang Xiao’s gray flame.

  Huwang Xiao was aloof, indifferent to Fang Chu’s temptation, increasing the flow of the gray fire.

  Fang Chu let out a painful wail, eyes bloodshot, “Huwang Xiao, this body is only an avatar! Kill my avatar and my original body won’t spare you when you ascend to the Divine World!” When his soul was on the verge of being burned away, Fang Chu bellowed.

  Huwang Xiao was stunned. ‘Avatar?!’

  This Fang Chu was actually an avatar, and there was an original body?!

  At this time, outside the Aeon Square, everyone was nervously watching the ranking list. It had been several days since Huwang Xiao broke into the top ten and stopped at the 8th place.

  For the past several days, Huwang Xiao’s points had slowed to a stop, whereas Tempest Academy’s Jiang Xiaosu was rapidly catching up to him.

  “If this continues, in two days’ time, Jiang Xiaosu will surpass Huwang Xiao.” Wangu Shuo said while looking at the ranking list.

  Wangu Zhi nodded in agreement, “Didn’t I say it earlier, the highest this Huwang Xiao can achieve is the 8th place, he will slowly be pushed down by the people behind him. Evidently, that is what is happening.”

  Wangu Yuan chimed in, “The way I see it, Huwang Xiao will be kicked out from the top ten in about ten days. Jiang Xiaosu, Jian Shiyi, and Lu Dongwei will surpass Huwang Xiao in points. By the time the tournament ends, Huwang Xiao’s final ranking should be around the 15th place.”

  Other Wangu Clan Elders nodded in agreement.

  Right at this time, one of the Wangu Clan Elders was stunned looking at the second name on the ranking list.

  Wangu Shuo and other Elders noticed this and looked in the same direction. The initially brilliant name that was second on the ranking list suddenly began to lose its brilliance.

  The changes happening to Fang Chu’s name immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the square and their faces filled with disbelief and shock. ‘This is? The 2nd ranked Fang Chu has fallen!’

  Before
the shocked and disbelieving faces around the square, Fang Chu’s name suddenly exploded from the ranking list, resembling the detonation of several hundred great suns at the same time. Bursts of glaring light spread out in the air above, illuminating the whole square, visible from every direction.

  Eyes dazedly watched the glaring light above the square.

  It was a long time later when light above dissipated, returning the city’s sky to its previous calm.

  A second later, all eyes were attracted to the abrupt brilliant light coming from the ranking list. At the top of the ranking list, resplendent lights flickered, shaking as one name appeared—Huwang Xiao!

  From the beginning of the tournament, Wangu Yanhui had monopolized the first place until now, when he had been relegated to second place, below Huwang Xiao.

  Everyone was stupefied. Wangu Shuo, Wangu Zhi, and other Wangu Clan Elders were agape.

  Huwang Xiao?!

  The Azure Dragon Institute Principal looked at the topmost name on the ranking list, feeling like he had lost his soul. The commotion around him sounded as if it came from far away.

  Feng Yang, Liu Yun, Qi Wen, and Chen Yang’s expressions were just as dramatic.

  The noisy square suddenly fell into a prolonged silence.

  A long time later, Wangu Zhi’s voice cut through the silence, a little hoarse, “That Fang Chu… was killed by Huwang Xiao?!” He immediately stopped after saying this.

  Ch.880

  Although no more words came from Wangu Zhi, how could the group of Wangu Clan Elders fail to detect the underlying meaning?

  Fang Chu was killed by Huwang Xiao!

  Otherwise, it couldn't explain Huwang Xiao’s sudden jump from the eighth place all the way to the first!

  Wangu Yuan, who had just said that Huwang Xiao would definitely be kicked out from the top ten and probably rank around fifteenth place when the tournament ends, inevitably revealed a wry smile, “Looks like I’ve underestimated this Huwang Xiao ah.”

  Wangu Changqing also sighed, “All of us had underestimated this Huwang Xiao, who would have thought he has the ability to kill Fang Chu?”

  “Although Fang Chu’s strength was far from Wangu Yanhui’s, he’s still an early Fourth Order Highgod Realm.” Wangu Shuo stated solemnly, “Judging from the fact that this Huwang Xiao could kill him, I’m afraid he has the strength of a peak mid-Fourth Order Highgod Realm master at the very least, perhaps even a late-Fourth Order!”

  These Wangu Clan Elders didn't know that Fang Chu had hidden his true cultivation realm and assumed that he was just an early Fourth Order Highgod Realm disciple.

  Wangu Zhi nodded in agreement, “This Huwang Xiao, I wonder how many years he had been cultivating for. Is it one thousand eight hundred years, or closer to two thousand years? To possess such strength, truly astonishing!”

  While the crowd on the Aeon Square was fervently talking about Huwang Xiao taking the first place with shock vibrating in their hearts, far away across an unknown number of galaxies, back in the Black Tortoise Galaxy, Wang Na was leaning leisurely in her seat inside the WuHuwang Peak’s luxurious hall within the Black Warrior Institute grounds, enjoying some fragrant tea brewed from high quality Heavenly Mountain tea leaves.

  These days, Wang Na had been in an excellent mood.

  As the day of the new Black Warrior Institute Principal Instalment Ceremony drew closer, more and more of the institute’s Grand Elders and Elders had professed loyalty towards her.

  “There’s only a little over a month left until the Highgod Advancement Tournament ends, right?” Wang Na lazily glanced at the person standing several steps lower, Grand Elder He Zhiwu.

  “That is so, Institute Principal.” He Zhiwu took a small step forward, respectfully answering Wang Na.

  Although the installment ceremony had yet to take place, He Zhiwu and the others already greeted Wang Na as the ‘Institute Principal’. In these people’s opinion, Wang Na succeeding the position of Black Warrior Institute Principal was a certainty.

  Wang Na wondered out loud, “I wonder how the tournament ranking is like...”

  Due to the great distance between the Eternal Galaxy and Black Tortoise Galaxy, news of the latest changes on the ranking list couldn't be transferred to them in a short time, hence, Wang Na and the others were still ignorant of the tournament’s final ranking result.

  “Institute Principal can rest assured a thousand times. Since the Great Lord is going to deal with him personally, that Huwang Xiao is dead for sure!” He Zhiwu wore a flattering smile, continuing, “Moreover, I found out that Huwang Xiao had previously offended some Yelu Family’s disciples, who definitely won’t let him off, he’s most likely already dead.”

  There were undisguised hatred and resentment in Wang Na’s eyes, “It’s a pity that I cannot kill Huwang Xiao that dog with my own hands!”

  He Zhiwu laughed, “Although Huwang Xiao’s dead, there’s still the Huwang Family. When the time comes, I will capture and bring these people alive in front of Institute Principal, so that you can vent and deal with them accordingly.”

  Wang Na nodded with satisfaction.

  “Institute Principal, in truth, we need not wait for Feng Yang’s return to proceed with the installment ceremony.” Grand Elder He Fei suddenly said.

  Wang Na was tempted, “Your meaning is?”

  “According to the established rules, the time for the installment ceremony has already passed, therefore, even if Institute Principal decides to have the ceremony tomorrow, Feng Yang has no valid reason to condemn you when he returns.” He Fei added, “And Feng Yang, in order to watch his personal disciple’s performance in the tournament, left the institute and even the Black Tortoise Galaxy for a prolonged period and did not rush back to conduct the installment ceremony as expected of an Institute Principal. When he returns, Institute Principal can use this as a reason to punish him.”

  Wang Na’s eyes lit up, nearly clapping her hands, shouting: “Excellent! Immediately pass my orders, invite all the prominent forces of the Black Tortoise Galaxy to attend the installment ceremony one month later, all Ancestors and Patriarchs must be invited!”

  “Yes, Institute Principal!”

  The present Grand Elders respectfully acknowledged.

  …

  At the same time in the Overflowing Lightning World, Huwang Xiao watched Fang Chu tumble lifelessly to the floor. His Archdevil Supreme Godhead immediately began devouring Fang Chu’s blood essence and fortune energy, roiling like waves into his body.

  Huwang Xiao was enshrouded in a cocoon of glimmering bright light as Fang Chu’s corpse was shrinking at a visible rate.

  In less than a dozen breaths, Fang Chu’s body had completely turned into a dried corpse.

  A few minutes later, Fang Chu’s close to a thousand li in diameter Fortune Godhead exploded into sparkling dust, disappeared in the air. Every last strand of fortune energy within Fang Chu’s godhead was absorbed by Huwang Xiao, helping him step into peak late-Second order Highgod Realm, infinitely close to breaking through to Third Order Highgod Realm.

  Looking at the dried corpse, Huwang Xiao flicked a sliver of fire element godforce onto it, completely burning away the last of Fang Chu’s body.

  Only then did he spare a glance at the four people, Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei, lying in different corners.

  Although they all suffered from Fang Chu’s attack and were subjected to intense battle shockwaves created by Huwang Xiao and Fang Chu’s battle, these four people were still alive. They were merely unconscious, which was easily remedied after Huwang Xiao fed each of them an Undying God Pill.

  Waking up, the four of them looked around the miserable ruined hall, but saw was no sign of Fang Chu.

  “Huwang, Big bro Huwang Xiao, where’s that Fang Chu? Is he, you…?” Mu Qi couldn’t help asking, a little hesitant.

  Huwang Xiao almost laughed hearing Mu Qi calling him ‘Big bro.’ He answered Mu Qi’s question, “That’s right, Fang Chu has
been killed by me.”

  Obtaining Huwang Xiao’s confirmation that he had indeed killed Fang Chu, Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei’s hearts shuddered, their eyes big as fists staring at Huwang Xiao.

  They did not forget that Fang Chu was actually a Fifth Order Highgod Realm master, yet he was still killed by Huwang Xiao!

  Then… what was Huwang Xiao’s real strength?!

  The four of them felt short of breath.

  It didn’t take long for them to notice the changes on the ranking list; Fang Chu’s name had disappeared, and Huwang Xiao had climbed to the top spot!

  Ignoring the four, Huwang Xiao turned his attention toward the giant Lightning God corpse still unaffected high in the air. Despite the earth-shattering battle from earlier, the Lightning God’s corpse didn't suffer the slightest damage. With a wave of his hand, that Lightning God corpse and the giant divine lightning hammer beside it flew into his Asura Ring.

  Wangu Yanhui and the other three could only watch Huwang Xiao take away the Lightning God’s corpse and the divine lightning hammer, not one of them dared to speak a word.

  The five-footed divine cauldron at the center of the hall also entered Huwang Xiao’s Asura Ring. However, he only took a third of the pills placed on the drawers in the four corners of the hall, leaving the rest to be equally divided amongst the four people.

  Naturally, the four of them had no complaints, and in fact were grateful to Huwang Xiao. These were pills refined by a Heavenly God master, every single pill was extremely valuable.

  After collecting and dividing the pills inside the hall, they used the five keys to activate the central formation again, leaving the hall.

  After leaving the hall, Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, and Lu Dongwei bid farewell to Huwang Xiao and left, leaving their part of the key to Huwang Xiao.

  When the three of them disappeared from view, Huwang Xiao turned and ordered You Wuye to be on guard. You Wuye acknowledged respectfully, while Huwang Xiao himself entered the deepest underground space of the Lightning God’s cultivation dwelling using the five keys.
