Ascension of the immortal Asura
chapter-650

Che!

John made a sharp incision into the drakes forehead, causing its blood essence to pour out like a waterfall. The blood essence vanished from sight as he stored it in his palace realm to use as fuel for his future Asura Transformations.

After collecting the blood essence, John turned to Laia and asked if she wanted anything from the drake.

"No, I have no need for anything from its body," Laia replied.

"Okay," John replied succinctly as he pressed his hand against its body. The entire drake suddenly vanished from sight as John stored it in his massive palace realm. Laia's eyes widened slightly as she watched the entire drake disappear in an instant.

To transport something to a spatial realm, one needed the strength to be able to move the object. That strength could be physical or through the use of Qi, but either way, the strength required to move such a body was beyond what she could manage.

"Let's go," John said after storing the body away. "I'm sure there are many more creatures like this drake, so we'll need to be on guard the entire time we venture through this trial."

Laia nodded her head, and the three walked off deeper into the swirling fog, leaving the fractured land from their battle behind.

…

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The land for tens of thousands of miles in each direction quaked violently, as if an earthquake that was about to rip the world in half was occurring. Calamitous explosions rendered the land asunder, destroying anything that managed to withstand the initial damage.

A roar of a dragon boomed out, followed by a fist punch that sent an image of a dragon forward. The dragon-image slammed against the Barbarian Warchief, rocketing his body into the fractured earth below and destroying it further. The Warchiefs body burrowed dozens of miles into the earth before finally coming to a stop.

Che!

Che!

Che!

A torrent of crimson red sword images slashed through the sky, each attack sharp and powerful enough to tear space for a brief moment before it healed back to normal. The attacks reached the Jade Dragon Emperor in an instant, who slashed his battle axe out towards them.

Boom!

The attacks collided, creating another apocalyptic explosion that ravaged the land for hundreds of miles. The land had already turned into a barren hellscape of fractured earth, molten lava, and abyssal craters.

ROAR!

The Jade Dragon Emperor roared out like a dragon, his voice shaking all of creation. The Monster King that had appeared next to him was knocked backwards dozens of miles from the roar, unable to resist its might. The Jade Dragon Emperor ignored the three formidable cultivators as he sped forward once more, appearing before the hellish creature which towered over him.

Even when fighting four on one, the Jade Dragon Emperor only had the creature in his eyes, and did not hesitate for a moment. The creature viciously smiled at the Jade Dragon Emperor, as if their battle was the most enjoyable thing it could experience.

The Jade Dragon Emperor's glowing axe slashed out once more, its might capable of shattering continents. The hellish creature slashed out his sabers towards the axe, using nothing but brute strength to counterattack.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The Jade Dragon Emperor and the hellish creature exchanged thousands of attacks in the briefest of moments. Each attack had the power to destroy entire nations, while space itself became ravaged and chaotic, as if it could no longer resist the might of the battle.

The two continued to battle, while the three other powerful cultivators threw in their attacks as well, as the Jade Dragon Emperor's might was truly overwhelming. Despite their collective effort, they were unable to subdue him.

BOOM!

Saber and axe collided, sending both the Jade Dragon Emperor and the hellish creature in opposite directions for dozens of miles. The Ancient Elder, Monster Race King, and Barbarian Warchief all appeared beside the hellish creature and faced their distant opponent.

"How troublesome," the Ancient Elder grumbled, her icy eyes locked onto the Jade Dragon Emperor.

"Even the four of us are only an even match with him. No wonder he dominated the ancient world," the Monster Race King added in as well. Despite it being a blow to his prestige, he couldn't help but admit it as fact.

"Hahahaha," a guttural and malevolent laughter boomed out from behind them, clearly belonging to the creature the Jade Dragon Emperor had referred to as 'Asura'. "You three are mere ants compared to the Jade Dragon Emperor," he said, his voice causing the three to frown. Despite being sworn enemies, the creature respected strength above all, and the Jade Dragon Emperor was one worthy of respect.

"What did you say?" the Barbarian Warchief replied with narrowed eyes. The two others also stared at the creature with displeasure. They were definitely weaker than the Jade Dragon Emperor, but not by much. To call them ants was nothing else than an insult.

"His strength has fallen by more than half since our battle back then," the hellish creature continued, his words causing the others to feel absolute shock.

"What!"

"Impossible!"

They truly couldn't believe it.

"And so has mine!" the creature's voice boomed out.

Che!

Without warning, the creature's sabers slashed out, each saber carrying unstoppable might. The sabers cleaved into the nearby Ancient Elder, Monster Race King, and Barbarian Warchief without warning, severing the Ancient Elder and Monster Race King in half. The Barbarian Warchief managed to resist being cleaved in half, but his body was almost cleaved through in a single stroke.

Another quick strike from the Asuraic creature finished the job. All three cultivators, who were powerful enough to stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, could only look on in horror and shock, unable to believe what had happened, even as their heads entered the Asura's mouth.

Crunch!

Crunch!

Crunch!

The creature quickly consumed the head's of the three cultivators, followed by the rest of their bodies. The speed at which he consumed the three was almost instant, as if the creature had an innate talent for consuming flesh and bone. Even the Barbarian Warchiefs incredibly strong body was crushed with ease within the creature's jaws. The distant Jade Dragon Emperor watched on coldly, feeling no pity for the three, as they had been evil to their core.

However, his eyes narrowed slightly as he felt the aura of creature rise, clearly nourished by the consumption of the three cultivators. The malevolent smile returned to the creature's face as it gazed at the distant Jade Dragon Emperor.

"Those three finally let down their guards, thanks to you," the creature said, his smile baring his bloodstained teeth. "And once I consume you, this world will drown in anguish!"
