Chapter 706 - 702: Stomped into a Meat Patty

Chapter 706: Chapter 702: Stomped into a Meat Patty

"It seems my Asura Domain is about to claim another Lost Soul!"

A cold, electric light danced in Eastern Asura’s eyes as a terribly grim aura surged from his body.

His eyes never left Hong Yu, and a terrifying killing intent spread out, locking onto him.

He still remembered the day Hong Yu had severed his arm, which was now sealed at the entrance of Hongmeng Divine City, serving as one of its gate pillars.

Eastern Asura could never forget the pain and resentment of that day. He was a dignified City Lord Level expert, the founder of the Eastern Divine City, yet someone had cut off his arm and refined it into a gate pillar. It was an unforgivable sin. He had only held back from seeking revenge because his Asura Domain had been on the verge of a breakthrough.

Now that he finally had his chance, he was determined not to let Hong Yu set foot on the Blood War Celestial Ladder alive. "Hong Yu, you were lucky enough to anger me. I will use your blood to lay the foundation for my Asura Domain. My Asura Domain has yet to taste the flesh and blood of a City Lord Level Demon Fiend. You will be a delicious meal!"

’Eastern Asura?’

Hong Yu narrowed his eyes, a strange light glinting in them as he looked at Eastern Asura.

「Several months ago.」

He had fought Eastern Asura once before, but back then, he had still been at the Peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm, while Eastern Asura had only been a Dharma Body.

Furthermore, it was a Dharma Body projected from the core region to the outer region, its strength greatly reduced. Even then, he had only managed its Annihilation by relying on his trump card.

But in just a few short months, he had fought his way from the outer region to the core combat zone. He had even earned the awe of numerous City Lord Level experts, becoming a new legend—the City Lord of Hongmeng Divine City!

The same Eastern Asura whose mere Dharma Body had once run him ragged had recently lost an arm to him. Now, here he was, proclaiming a challenge. The reversal of their fortunes was enough to make one sigh at how much things had changed.

"Hong Yu, die!"

A Blood Prison abruptly materialized behind Eastern Asura.

Within it were mountains of corpses and a sea of blood. Endless bodies—some with severed limbs, some decapitated, some only half-there... There were even skeletons crawling about, devoid of flesh, or with flesh that was mostly rotted away, dangling shreds of meat giving off a putrid stench.

In this world built of corpses and white bones, rivers churned—rivers of crimson blood.

The viscous blood emitted a nauseating, metallic stench.

This was the Mystical Dharma Aspect that Eastern Asura had formed by comprehending the Asura Mysteries—the Asura Domain!

A training ground for the Death God himself!

RUMBLE!

Two ghastly white bone claws shot out from the Asura Domain, tearing through the void and appearing abruptly before Hong Yu.

The bones were incredibly hard, as if they were the remains of a powerful Ancient Race. Eastern Asura’s method of increasing his strength was strange; his Asura Domain required countless experts to enter and slaughter one another, shedding their blood. He also sought out the remains of powerful beings to smelt into his Asura Domain.

It was because of this focus on finding the remains of powerful beings that he had discovered the existence of the Venerable Golden Bone.

However, back then, he hadn’t possessed the strength to seize the Venerable Golden Bone. It wasn’t until Hong Yu and the others discovered the Blazing Flame Pure Gold Vein that he sensed it and dispatched his experts to claim it. But then Hong Yu had suddenly appeared, not only snatching the Venerable Golden Bone but also killing his Ten Great Divine Generals.

This caused fluctuations on the Divine General List, drawing the attention of all factions.

Ultimately, the Eastern Divine City’s strength was greatly damaged, and he had even lost an arm to Hong Yu. How could he not be furious? "Asura Celestial Fury, Saint Luo’s World Destruction!"

A bloody light shot from Eastern Asura’s body into the sky. His hair stood on end, making him look like a world-shaking Demon Venerable!

His robes whipped about, as if a Blood Demon had descended.

BOOM!

A Demon Shadow covered in fresh blood suddenly emerged from the Asura Domain. Its eyes burned like two clusters of Nether Fire, capable of incinerating the Soul itself.

Its mouth was filled with terrifying and intimidating Tusks.

It abruptly thrust out its palms, bearing down on Hong Yu with crushing force.

The terrifying fluctuations made the very heavens and earth lose their color...

Ku Tianlei’s expression sank slightly. He murmured, "Eastern Asura’s combat power has improved again. His Asura Domain has already reached the Fifth Layer Realm, allowing him to manifest the Asura Demon Shadow. Every move this Asura Demon Shadow makes can affect a person’s Soul and even cause an ordinary person’s Heart Spirit to collapse. I wonder if Hong Yu can withstand it?"

Ma Yuanfei laughed grimly. "Eastern Asura made his name long ago, and now his Asura Domain has advanced even further. His combat power has definitely reached the First-tier City Lord Level. Hong Yu only just broke through to City Lord. He will certainly die from this attack."

"I think the outcome of this battle is hard to predict!"

"Hong Yu should win..."

"He’ll die! Eastern Asura’s strength is unfathomable. How could Hong Yu possibly be his opponent?"

The crowd’s debate reached Hong Yu’s ears, every word clear.

As he faced the terrifying attack of the Asura Demon Shadow, his face did indeed turn pale, and it felt as if his very Soul was being shaken by a giant bell. But that wasn’t what was actually happening!

How could it be, with how powerful Hong Yu’s Spiritual Power was?

Even before breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, his Spiritual Power had already reached the Late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm.

Now, his Primordial Spirit Cultivation was faintly approaching the Yin Yang Realm Level, a heaven-defying feat. Combined with the tempering his Soul had undergone from the Profound Celestial Tower and the Star River Spirit Bone, its fortitude surpassed that of an ordinary Yin Yang Realm expert. As formidable as the Asura Demon Shadow was, it still couldn’t do anything to his Soul.

The reason Hong Yu was so slow to react, appearing as if he had been captured by the Asura Demon Shadow, was because he was allowing it to happen!

Because just as the Asura Demon Shadow attacked him, Hong Yu suddenly felt the Martial Arts Origin Crystal Core he was comprehending accelerate its refinement speed, jumping from the initial fifteen percent to twenty-five percent.

’So that’s how it is. The Martial Arts Origin Crystal Core needs stimulation to accelerate its refinement!’

Hong Yu reveled in this realization.

Eastern Asura, however, was stunned. ’What’s going on? The Asura Demon Shadow should have killed this brat long ago. Why hasn’t it finished him off after all this time? It seems I’ll have to lend it more of the Asura Domain’s power. Fifty percent of the Asura Domain’s power to the Asura Demon Shadow!’

CHHHH!

The Asura Demon Shadow roared repeatedly as a bloody radiance surged out, enveloping Hong Yu.

Hong Yu’s entire body trembled, and the bloody light churned around him, but he still wasn’t dead!

On the surface, he looked miserable, but inwardly, he was ecstatic. ’Hahaha, this is great, just great! It increased by another ten percent, reaching thirty-five percent now. These two attacks have given me more progress than several days of arduous cultivation. Hahaha, let the attacks come even more fiercely!’

’Damn it, he’s still not dead? But he’s already spitting blood, so he clearly can’t take much more. This time, I’ll use one hundred percent of my power to kill him!’

At this thought, Eastern Asura roared, and the entire Asura Domain began to glow with a crimson light.

Mountains of corpses, a sea of blood, the wails of ghosts and the howls of gods!

It was as if the entire Asura Domain was boiling. An endless, bloody radiance writhed madly as it bore down on Hong Yu.

PTUI!

Hong Yu opened his mouth and spat out a Blood Arrow.

The pressure and impact from the full power of the Asura Domain had brought his blood to a boil, making it unbearably hot, like scalding water. His organs were on the verge of collapsing from the impact as his blood fiercely burned them from the inside out. Fortunately, he managed to spit out that mouthful of bloody qi in time.

’Hahaha, sixty percent! A full sixty percent! Only forty percent left, and this Martial Arts Origin Crystal Core will be completely refined. Once I truly master the Luo Rune Seal, I’ll even be able to fight Xiahuang the First!’

At this thought, Hong Yu couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He heard that his refusal to fight back while taking Eastern Asura’s relentless bombardment had already caused quite a stir.

"Look, Hong Yu was hit so hard he’s spitting blood!"

"It looks like he’s not far from death. I’ve said it before: Hong Yu is just a lucky brat. Without foundation or mental fortitude, he’s ultimately useless. As soon as a true Celestial Pride Son appears, they can casually stomp him into the ground, and he’ll never recover!"

This grating, mocking voice belonged to none other than Ma Yuanfei.

He stood with his arms crossed, a gleeful look on his face, as if he were the one who had beaten Hong Yu to the point of spitting blood.

Within the Asura Domain, the corners of Hong Yu’s lips curved up slightly. ’Ma Yuanfei, is it? Heh, this old coot has given me trouble time and time again. Looks like I’ll have to take care of him later. Otherwise, people will think I can’t do anything about him! But first, I need to break this Asura Domain. This thing is useless to me now!’

With that thought, Hong Yu suddenly took a deep breath.

OMMM!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which had just calmed down, suddenly condensed before becoming chaotic and beginning to pulsate wildly.

Countless streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged, looking like strands of wildly dancing hair as they rushed madly into the Asura Domain. With a single breath, Hong Yu had triggered an infinite change in the world around him. It was as if his inhale could form clouds and his exhale could summon gales!

BOOM! RUMBLE!

An extremely terrifying burst of light suddenly erupted from within the Asura Domain.

PTUI!

The gleeful expression on Eastern Asura’s face, born from the thought of killing Hong Yu, suddenly twisted. He spat out a mouthful of thick blood, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief. "Wh-What’s happening? Why does it feel like the Asura Domain is about to burst? N-No, this is impossible! The Asura Domain is a Mystical Dharma Aspect! H-How could it be cracking apart?"

Eastern Asura’s face changed drastically. ’Something’s wrong... Hong Yu? It’s Hong Yu? No, no, don’t...!’

Eastern Asura shrieked wretchedly.

He could only watch as the Asura Domain behind him was stretched larger and larger, growing from its original one hundred meters in height to two hundred, three hundred, four hundred...

By the time it had swelled to a full six hundred meters, the Asura Domain was already on the verge of collapse, having reached its absolute limit.

"Haa... It finally stopped..." Eastern Asura gasped for breath.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a resounding "ROAR" suddenly burst from the Asura Domain. It was followed by an earth-shattering tremor, like a massive earthquake. Mountains swayed, the ground cracked, and rivers flowed backward.

A colossal Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant forcibly burst through the Asura Domain, charging out from the resulting storm in the void.

Its body was six hundred meters tall, its legs alone a staggering three hundred meters. Like a Sky Pillar, one leg came crashing down, blotting out the sun. Eastern Asura, already heavily injured from his Asura Domain being shattered, froze. He was unable to escape, his eyes wide with terror as he watched the giant leg descend.

SPLAT!

The sound of pulverizing bone and flesh was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

When the elephant’s leg moved away, Eastern Asura was no longer on the ground. All that remained was a patty of meat...

[Author’s Note: No more updates today, I have to rush to a wedding banquet. I still owe everyone ten Chapters and will make them up this week. Also, to those friends cursing my update speed, I want to say one thing: I already dropped a 50-Chapter burst, so am I really going to stiff you on these 10? If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, who would want to pass up the money?]
