42: Asura King

The Burial God Demonic Land, located three million miles deep within the Heavenly Abyss, had demonic mist so thick it was almost solid, constantly eroding protective spiritual light. The shattered ground was covered with twisted skeletons, and even more terrifying were the giant, chilling insect and Asura skeletons, emanating ancient, lingering resentment and destructive aura. The air was as heavy as mercury.

Lin Xuan, leading the core disciple group, tore through space and landed directly on the edge of a relatively open skeletal plain. The sight before them made everyone's pupils contract slightly.

Ahead, an area several times wider than Po Luo City was violently twisting and collapsing. An unimaginably massive purplish-black vortex was slowly forming. The center of the vortex emitted a terrifying pressure that made souls tremble, far exceeding the True Immortal-level Asura War General from before! Around the vortex, countless distorted runes flickered in and out of existence, pulsating like blood vessels, frantically drawing in the demonic energy and death resentment from the entire Burial God Demonic Land and even wider areas.

"Master, the spatial passage is stabilizing! That aura has definitely reached the King level!" Su Yuan's voice sounded through the communication jade slip, carrying a hint of barely suppressed tension. "The energy readings are still skyrocketing! It's absorbing the negative energy of the entire Heavenly Abyss battlefield!"

"King level?" Lie Tian Divine Tiger bared his fangs, his fiery golden tiger eyes burning with battle intent. His childlike body crouched slightly, letting out a low growl. "Just in time for this tiger lord to sharpen his teeth!"

Moonlight flowed around Yun Qingyao, solidifying into frost. Her clear, cold eyes were fixed on the center of the vortex: "Its power carries a sense of decay and finality, different from anything we've encountered before."

Leng Yuechan held the pseudo Immortal Slaying Sword Sheath, her Silent Extinction Sword Soul qi held back, her entire being like a peerless fierce sword about to be unsheathed: "Very strong, but wherever the sword's edge points, all can be cut!"

Chaos Nirvana Divine Fire surged around Feng Qiqi, its grey-white flames sizzling as they scorched the viscous demonic mist. She excitedly said, "What a big furnace! It must burn very brightly!"

Kong Ming clasped his hands together, a faint phantom of a Merit Golden Wheel appearing behind his head as he chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Amitabha, this fiend's demonic thoughts are monstrous, it should be transcended with thunderous means."

Linglong's Myriad Transformation Demonic Banner flapped, and her demonic sound domain quietly unfolded, attempting to interfere with the vortex's fluctuations. However, she found her demonic sounds were like a mud ox entering the sea, easily crushed by the terrifying pressure. Her face paled: "Master, its mental power is like an abyss!"

Ye Chen, Mo Sha, Qing Xuan, and others also focused and stood guard, feeling unprecedented pressure.

Lin Xuan stood at the very front with his hands behind his back, his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes operating at full power. Golden patterns flowed in his eyes, penetrating layers of spatial distortion and dense demonic energy, directly looking into the core of the vortex.

He saw it!

An unimaginably massive figure was struggling to squeeze out from the depths of the vortex! Its form was blurry, seemingly composed of pure darkness, writhing flesh, and massive, pale white bones. Countless twisted runes, emanating an aura of finality, flickered on its surface. It had three heads of different forms: one was a giant, porous bone skull, with eerie green soul fire burning in its eye sockets; another was a lizard-like head covered in thick purplish-black scales, with corrosive spatial fluid dripping from its mouth; and the last was the most bizarre, like a giant, constantly rotating black vortex, seemingly capable of devouring all light and souls!

Asura King: Erosion of the End!

"It's using the countless years of accumulated death resentment and spatial weak points in this Burial God Demonic Land to forcibly open a descent passage! Now is the best time! While it's stuck in the passage entrance, unstable, hit it with all you've got!" Lin Xuan's roar exploded like a thunderclap, instantly dispelling the oppressive feeling in everyone's hearts!

"Act!"

The moment the command was given, the most powerful forces of the All Heavens Star Palace erupted!

*Yun Qingyao and Leng Yuechan: Ice and Fire Dual Annihilation

"Moonfall Eternal Silence!" Yun Qingyao pointed her sword at the sky, the pseudo Chaos Moon Wheel hanging high. The vast moonlight transformed into a time-freezing cold current, pouring down like the Milky Way from the Nine Heavens, instantly washing towards the three heads! Her target was directly the most bizarre vortex head! She wanted to freeze that soul-devouring power!

Almost simultaneously, Leng Yuechan became one with her sword! A Silent Extinction Sword Soul light, condensed to the extreme, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect and reincarnation, ignored spatial distance, arriving after Yun Qingyao but striking first, directly piercing the eerie green soul fire in the bone skull's eye socket! "Silent Extinction Returns to the Void!"

Feng Qiqi: Burning Heaven, Boiling Seas!

"Chaos Nirvana Prairie Fire!" Feng Qiqi shouted, her entire being transforming into a grey-white flame meteor, fiercely crashing into the scaled lizard head! The terrifying Chaos Nirvana Divine Fire was compressed by her into a scorching beam of light, fiercely striking the scales! Sizzling sounds of burning and cracking scales rang out piercingly!

Kong Ming and Linglong: Buddhist-Demonic Symphony!

Kong Ming chanted a mantra, the Merit Golden Wheel behind his head glowing brightly. A majestic phantom of a Great WeitianDragon Mantra roared forth, not as a physical attack, but transforming into solid golden Buddha's Light ripples, fiercely crashing into the pervasive, decaying will of finality emanating from the vortex! He wanted to purify this domain and empower everyone!

Linglong, on the other hand, fully activated the Myriad Transformation Demonic Banner. It was no longer mental pollution, but transformed into the sharpest, most chaotic "Soul-Shattering Demonic Sound," forming countless invisible sharp cones. In conjunction with Kong Ming's Buddha's Light, they frantically pierced the vortex head, interfering with its devouring power!

Lie Tian Divine Tiger: Spatial Lock!

Lie Tian Divine Tiger let out a low growl, fiery golden divine flames flowing over his body. The spatial talent of an ancient divine beast activated! His small figure seemed to become an anchor point in space. Invisible spatial ripples spread out from him, forcibly reinforcing and locking down the area around the vortex, attempting to slow down or even prevent the Asura King's complete descent!

Ye Chen, Mo Sha, Qing Xuan: Precision Strike!

Ye Chen's figure was like a ghost, activating the power of his Silent Extinction Sword Soul. A thread-like, condensed Silent Extinction Sword Soul qi silently pierced into the crack of the wound on the lizard head burned by Feng Qiqi!

Mo Sha roared, his primal demonic heart beating wildly. The power of the Myriad Demon Blood Crystal poured into the ancient demonic battle-axe in his hand. His entire body swelled, muscles bulging, demonic patterns flashing. An axe strike, with the force to split mountains and cleave seas, fiercely chopped at the bone skull's neck bone connection!

Qing Xuan pressed his hands forward, and pure, vast life purification power transformed into gentle white light rain, precisely sprinkling onto the areas most severely eroded by the Asura King's power, neutralizing that decaying will of finality, especially protecting everyone's minds from being corroded.

Boom! Rumble!

World-destroying attacks hit almost simultaneously!

Moonlight froze the rotation of the vortex head, and frost spread across its surface; the Silent Extinction Sword Soul light accurately pierced the bone skull's eye socket, causing the eerie green soul fire to violently flicker and dim; the Chaos Nirvana Divine Fire beam burned a large hole through the lizard head's scales, leaving it charred; the combined force of Buddha's Light and demonic sound caused the vortex head to emit a silent shriek, and its devouring power clearly stalled; the spatial lock ripples caused the entire vortex passage to violently shake, and the descent speed was forcibly slowed; the Silent Extinction Sword Soul qi, demonic axe heavy strike, and purification light rain landed precisely on wounds and weak points!

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar, beyond the limits of hearing, exploding directly on the soul level, erupted from the depths of the vortex! It was anger, pain, and a tyrannical will to end all things!

Asura King: Erosion of the End was thoroughly enraged!

Its massive body violently shook, forcibly squeezing out more than half of its form! Its three heads erupted simultaneously!

In the bone skull's eye sockets, the eerie green soul fire surged, transforming into billions of ghastly green resentful soul rays, showering indiscriminately upon everyone like a torrential downpour! Each ray carried a curse that corroded the soul and ended life!

The lizard's giant mouth opened, no longer spewing viscous fluid, but rather a thick, inky, absolute decaying breath of finality. Wherever it passed, space was corroded into pitch-black holes, rushing directly towards Feng Qiqi and Lin Xuan at the very front!

The frozen vortex head, on the other hand, suddenly rotated in reverse! A powerful, irresistible suction force emanated, no longer devouring souls, but devouring space, devouring energy, devouring everything! Everyone felt their spiritual power, and even life force, being frantically pulled!

"Mere parlor tricks!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he took a step forward, blocking Feng Qiqi's path!

The Merit Golden Wheel opened!

A solid and heavy circle of Merit Golden Light behind his head suddenly lit up, like the strongest barrier, firmly protecting him and Feng Qiqi behind him!

The viscous End Breath crashed against the Merit Golden Light, emitting a harsh sizzling sound, with black smoke billowing, but it couldn't advance an inch!

The power of ultimate evil was utterly suppressed by the ultimate good merit!

Great WeitianDragon Mantra roar!

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his chest swelling like a bellows, and a roar containing Chaos Demonic Essence and the supreme power of Buddhism erupted fiercely!

"Great WeitianDragon! World-Honored Ksitigarbha! Prajna Buddhas! Prajna Paramita Empty—!"

Roar—!

Golden sound waves mixed with chaotic airflow, like a tangible tsunami, spread out centered on Lin Xuan!

The billions of resentful soul rays that came head-on, like ice and snow under the sun, screamed shrilly in the golden sound waves, melting and disintegrating one after another!

That terrifying devouring suction was also forcefully dispersed and interrupted by this roar, which contained the power of Chaos's establishment and the Buddha's sound to suppress the world!

Even the lizard head spewing the End Breath was jolted sharply backward, interrupting its breath!

The power of a single roar was terrifying!

It instantly shattered the Asura King's three-headed simultaneous killing move!

"Now's the time!" The Law-Breaking Golden Runes in Lin Xuan's eyes burned fiercely, instantly locking onto a core node on the Asura King's massive body, a place covered by countless runes where energy flow was most obscure.

That was its spatial anchor point, formed by its forceful descent and forced fusion with the laws of this Burial God Demonic Land, and also its most fragile and unstable vital point at this moment!

"Immortal Slaying Sword Array, rise!" Lin Xuan formed hand seals, his Chaos Nascent Soul within him surged wildly, and vast Chaos Demonic Essence poured in without reservation!

Buzz!

Four terrifying sword shadows, reaching to the heavens and earth, appeared out of thin air!

Neither gold nor stone, ancient and desolate, they were entwined with chaotic airflow and destructive killing intent!

These were precisely the Chaos Immortal Slaying Sword Seals, which had integrated a portion of the Asura King's heart origin and whose power had advanced further!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword shadow was crimson like blood!

The Immortal Severing Sword shadow was ethereal and traceless!

The Immortal Trapping Sword shadow was eerie and unpredictable!

The Immortal Slaying Sword shadow was overbearingly peerless!

The four sword phantoms did not attack separately; instead, under Lin Xuan's will, they instantly merged into one!

They transformed into an ultimate, condensed, grayish chaotic sword energy, as if capable of splitting heaven and earth!

"Break for me!"

Lin Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and fiercely slashed towards the spatial anchor point that his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes had locked onto!

That grayish chaotic sword energy slashed out silently. There was no earth-shattering commotion, only a terrifying implication of all things returning to ruin and laws collapsing!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Wherever the sword energy passed, space silently shattered and annihilated like fragile glass!

The incredibly resilient laws of the Burial God Demonic Land were fragile and vulnerable before that chaotic sword energy!

Pfft!

A dull, heart-pounding tearing sound rang out.

The chaotic sword energy precisely slashed into the spatial anchor point on the Asura King's body!

"Aow!"

Asura King, End Erosion, let out an unprecedented shriek filled with terror and pain!

The sound was no longer on the mental plane, but a materialized terrifying sound wave that made the entire Burial God Demonic Land tremble!

Its massive body, which had forcibly squeezed out halfway, was like a giant pus-filled blister that had been pricked!

Countless wriggling flesh and bones began to violently twist and disintegrate!

The runes of termination covering its body shattered inch by inch!

The light on its three heads instantly dimmed to the extreme!

That chaotic sword energy not only shattered its spatial anchor point but also severed its forced connection with the laws of the Burial God Demonic Land!

The violent spatial backlash, coupled with the chaotic annihilation power contained within the sword energy itself, was wildly raging and destroying within its body!

"Strike it while it's down! Little ones! Full firepower! Blast it back to its old home!" Lin Xuan shouted sternly, his face slightly pale, clearly indicating that his all-out strike just now had consumed a great deal, but his eyes remained as sharp as knives.

He didn't even need to give further orders!

His disciples, whose killing moves had been broken by Lin Xuan's roar and who had witnessed their master gravely injure the Asura King with a single sword, were already boiling with excitement, their battle intent soaring to its peak!

"Moonlight Sword Domain, Thousand-Edged Absolute Prison!" Yun Qingyao's sword stance changed again, and the frozen moonlight instantly transformed into billions of incomparably sharp ice sword blades, sweeping towards the disintegrating Asura King's remnant body like a storm!

"Silent Extinction of All Things!" Leng Yuechan's sword light transformed into a thin,paint black line piercing through heaven and earth, and wherever it passed, all matter and energy returned to silent extinction!

"Chaos Nirvana Burning God!" Feng Qiqi compressed her entire divine fire to the extreme, transforming it into a blazing white fire line, and fiercely poured it into the wound she had previously burned through!

"Great WeitianDragon Suppresses Demons!" Kong Ming's Zen staff struck the ground, and the Buddha's Light transformed into a giant swastika golden seal, suppressing it from above!

The exquisite demonic sounds, the heaven-splitting divine flames tearing, Ye Chen's cunning sword qi, Mo Sha's violent axe chops, and Qing Xuan's continuous purification—all attacks poured down like a torrential storm upon the struggling, wailing massive demonic body!

Having lost its spatial anchor point and its core severely wounded by the Chaos Sword Energy, Asura King, End Erosion, was like a giant tree losing its roots, unable to resist this devastating concentrated fire any longer!

Boom boom boom!

An indescribably terrifying explosion erupted in the center of the Burial God Demonic Land!

Purple-black demonic light, chaotic sword energy, moonlight cold currents, Nirvana Divine Fire, Buddha's Light, demonic sounds—various destructive energies intertwined, collided, and annihilated!

A giant energy sphere with a diameter exceeding ten thousand li instantly expanded, completely engulfing the Asura King's remaining body!

The dazzling light made the entire Abyssal Maw lose its color!

The violent energy shockwave swept out, forcefully pushing aside the surrounding demonic mist, revealing the scarred, charred earth below, riddled with giant cracks!

The light lasted for more than ten breaths before slowly dissipating.

In its place, only a terrifying giant pit remained, bottomless, with lava and spatial turbulence flowing along its edges!

The massive purple-black vortex channel had long vanished without a trace, with only the lingering, nauseating smell of charring and a faint aura of termination in the air, proving the existence of that world-shaking battle.

Asura King, End Erosion, collapsed halfway through its descent!

It was forcefully blasted to death within the passage by the All Heavens Star Palace with absolute power!

"We won, we won!" Su Yuan's excited voice rang out from the jade talisman, filled with the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.

Yun Qingyao, Leng Yuechan, and the others looked at the giant abyss, feeling their spiritual power almost completely depleted, and then at the figure still standing tall in front, whose aura was only slightly fluctuating, their eyes filled with fanaticism and reverence.

"Master is mighty!" Lie Tian Divine Tiger was the first to roar, its voice shaking the surroundings.

"Master is mighty!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the empty and silent Burial God Demonic Land.

Lin Xuan slowly exhaled a turbid breath, suppressing the churning blood and the fatigue in his divine soul.

He walked to the edge of the giant abyss, his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes scanning the chaotic spatial turbulence and residual law fragments below.

"King level? Nothing more than that." A cold arc curved at Lin Xuan's lips, his voice not loud, yet clearly reaching everyone's ears, "Remember, in front of the All Heavens Star Palace, if you're a dragon, you coil; if you're a tiger, you lie down! Dare to extend your claws, and I'll chop them off!"

His gaze swept over his excited disciples, and with a wave of his hand: "Chu Xinghe! Bring the formation master corps over! We're going to build another city on top of this abyss! We'll call it Burial King City! Refine the Asura King's remnant aura into the formation for me! From now on, this will be our forward base for counterattacking the depths of the Abyssal Maw!"

"Yes, Master!" Chu Xinghe's voice was filled with excitement.

"Everyone else, clean up the battlefield! The stuff the Asura King dropped is definitely much richer than that trash Asura War General's!" Lin Xuan added.

Everyone's spirits lifted, and they immediately sprang into action.

Lin Xuan stood alone at the edge of the abyss, his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes piercing through the chaos, seemingly catching a fleeting, extremely subtle cold fluctuation with a higher-level will at the very bottom of the abyss.

He frowned imperceptibly, then relaxed, his eyes growing sharper.

"The old thing in the abyss finally reacted a bit?" He sneered inwardly, "Don't rush, when this seat dismantles your Abyssal Maw lair, I'll come and meet you!"

He turned, looking at his busy disciples and into the depths of the demonic mist in the distance, and an even stronger conviction arose within him.
