Asura Purgatory: Luo Feng and Asamon

Asura Purgatory—Luo Feng and Asamon

Asamon watched the other eight figures vanish and sneered. "You think you can obtain an Emperor Weapon? You think too highly of yourself."

Among the Ten Great Emperor Races, most were competitors. If the Asuras within the First Forbidden Ground had not been so powerful, who would have been willing to join forces?

Those with the strength to compete naturally had to fight for their own interests.

Asamon looked at Ice God. A Great God Heaven of the Celestial Race—even with an Emperor Weapon, his strength had yet to reach the level of a race ancestor. Not to mention that the flaming chain in Asamon's hand was also an Emperor Weapon.

"You brat, I can see you're a pitiful fellow. Hand over your treasure willingly, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, your life ends here." Asamon's voice boomed like thunder.

The weak were not qualified to possess precious treasures. Even if Ice God came from Primordial Chaos Heaven and had Sword Demon behind him, Asamon still dared to make a move.

Though he dared to act, he did not necessarily need to kill the man as well. Leaving him a way out could be considered giving Sword Demon a bit of face, even if Sword Demon might not accept it.

Of course, he also believed that even if he did not act, Ice God would certainly die from Pu Man Tuo's method. Even his life-preserving measures might be affected.

Ice God despaired inwardly. Luo Feng said he was nearby. Why hasn't he arrived yet?

He knew Luo Feng's strength as well. If Luo Feng arrived, he would still have a chance to keep the Emperor Weapon in his possession. He did not want to lose it.

The power within his body was still being corrupted by Pu Man Tuo's strength. He did not even dare use his power lightly. Facing Asamon, he had no possibility of escape.

"Esteemed Lord Asamon, I am willing to offer up my treasure, and I am also willing to ask Sword Demon not to pursue your responsibility. But I have a small request. I wonder whether Lord Asamon can help me. The power in my body is difficult for me to expel. With Lord Asamon's capabilities, you should be able to burn away that power," Ice God said.

For now, he could only delay for as long as possible.

"You brat, you're quite interesting. You actually dare negotiate terms with me." Asamon could not help laughing. Pu Man Tuo had been foolish enough to believe in the oath within the First Forbidden Ground, and now this Great God Heaven of the Celestial Race was actually trying to bargain with him. "Interesting. Fine. I have clashed with your Primordial Chaos Heaven before, but there is no great enmity between us. For Sword Demon's sake, I'll help you once."

Pu Man Tuo's power was indeed difficult to deal with. Once too much time passed, even a weak avatar would be corrupted, and death would become inevitable. It had to be said that Ice God was rather clever. He had even included the condition that he was willing to ask Sword Demon not to pursue the matter.

In truth, Asamon also wished to resolve the conflict.

Sword Demon had obtained an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, meaning he was destined to be impossible to kill. There was no reason for Asamon to remain enemies with him. If there was an opportunity to resolve their grudge, there was nothing bad about it.

Although he had chosen to seize the treasure, helping save someone was still a fairly humane act.

As he spoke, he extended his palm and condensed a drop of blood containing terrifying flames within it. It was a drop of his Source Blood Essence.

"I can see that you cultivate ice-based methods. This drop of my blood essence may cause you some harm, but it should be enough to clear the Karma Nether Power within your body. As for the contamination in your soul, perhaps your Sword Demon can deal with it. But you must hurry. Once the time comes, even Sword Demon may not be able to help you. If Sword Demon fails to arrive, I advise you to abandon this true body. Otherwise, all your methods will be lost," Asamon said. With a wave of his hand, the drop of Source Blood Essence flew toward Ice God.

Ice God was slightly surprised. He had not expected Asamon to be so reasonable.

He accepted the Source Blood Essence. "Thank you, Lord Asamon."

"Hm?" At that moment, Asamon looked in one direction, slightly startled. A streak of golden light was rapidly approaching from afar at an extreme speed. That speed seemed no slower than his own.

"Who is it?" Asamon narrowed his eyes.

Ice God, who had fused the Source Blood Essence into his body, turned his head as well. Delight immediately appeared on his face. "It's Luo Feng. He's finally here."

Ice God hurriedly activated his divine power. Ignoring the turmoil in his body's strength, he immediately retreated at high speed.

All is fair in war. Keeping the Emperor Weapon in his hands was what mattered most.

Moreover, he did not feel much goodwill toward Asamon. To him, Asamon was a vicious wolf. He could not abandon his chance to escape merely because the wolf had shown mercy.

Seeing Ice God's actions, Asamon was slightly surprised. "Oh? Interesting."

He looked toward that golden light. Its speed did not decrease in the slightest as it charged toward him. "Hmph!" Asamon snorted coldly, and the Blazing Chains whip in his hand lashed fiercely toward the golden light. The next instant, the flaming chain collided with the golden light. The violent impact erupted, turning the point of collision into a complete vacuum.

Asamon shuddered slightly. "What is this? Its power is so strong?!"

The golden light rebounded and arrived precisely in the direction Ice God was fleeing. It transformed into a golden nine-story tower, instantly drawing Ice God inside.

Inside the Star Tower—

Upon seeing Luo Feng and Qi Zheng, Ice God let out a breath of relief. "Good thing you two arrived in time. I nearly lost both my treasure and my life."

"Treat your injuries first. Old Qi, see if you can help Old Bing deal with it. I'll go meet that old fellow from the Ancient Phoenix Race," Luo Feng said, looking at Qi Zheng beside him.

Qi Zheng's methods were also related to Karma. Combined with an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, there might still be a chance.

"Be careful," Qi Zheng and Ice God both reminded him.

Luo Feng smiled. The next moment, he had already appeared outside.

Asamon looked at Luo Feng and was slightly surprised. "When I saw that golden nine-story tower, I thought of you, Blade Demon. I didn't expect it really was you."

He found it extremely unexpected that Luo Feng, a God Heaven Realm cultivator, dared to appear here.

"If I remember correctly, you should have an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure in your possession. And this golden giant tower of yours—judging from my earlier strike, its might is quite impressive. Could it also be an Emperor Weapon?" Asamon asked again, a trace of greed appearing in his eyes.

His thoughts were the same as Ya Mi Xiu Fu's back then. Blade Demon was only in the God Heaven Realm. Even with treasures, how powerful could he possibly be?

Furthermore, Asamon himself possessed an Emperor Weapon. Thus, even though Ice God had been taken into the Star Tower, he was not afraid in the least.

The duck already in his grasp would not fly away.

"You want it?" Luo Feng smiled. "If you do, come and see whether you can take it."

During this period, I've only fought plant lifeforms. My strength has improved somewhat, but I'm probably still no match for this fellow. Still, I'm confident I can preserve my life. He doesn't have Ya Mi Xiu Fu's methods. If possible, I'll see whether I can suppress him. He has an Emperor Weapon in his hand, Luo Feng thought to himself.

That move he had used against Ya Mi Xiu Fu was something none of these race ancestors would likely anticipate.

Luo Feng's Dao Seal power had long since recovered, and he had also obtained that Flower Core, which could replenish his Soul Power. What he feared was that this fellow might possess methods similar to Fen Ge's or Shi Tan's. If his soul could enter that state and become immune to Soul Attacks, then Luo Feng would most likely be unable to suppress him.

He could only try.

As Luo Feng thought this, he tossed the Star Tower from his hand. It rapidly expanded, finally hovering above and covering a vast area around him, waiting for Asamon to make his move.

Asamon looked at Luo Feng. He believed he understood what Luo Feng was thinking. In this place, domains could not be deployed. Using Devouring Power as a domain... in Asamon's eyes, that amounted to nothing.

Asamon did not answer Luo Feng. The next moment, he directly swung the flaming chain in his hand. Whoosh! The Blazing Chains whistled through the air like a fiery serpent, lashing viciously toward Luo Feng.

"Hmph!" Luo Feng snorted coldly. Divine power, Soul Power, and Dao Intent Power all burned at once. As the Blood Shadow Saber in his hand hummed, he unleashed the first slash of the Blood Shadow Nine Slashes.

It collided with the flaming chain in an instant. Under the eruption of the violent impact, Luo Feng was forced back some distance, but the chain was also sent flying away.

In terms of close-combat might, the blade on Ya Mi Xiu Fu's arm had possessed greater impact than this chain.

Luo Feng had been able to withstand Ya Mi Xiu Fu's blade. Asamon's chain was more flexible, but its might was still somewhat weaker. Luo Feng did not find it too difficult to block.

Asamon was shocked. "You're only in the God Heaven Realm, yet a single slash of yours has such power?" Although that strike had been far from his strongest attack, it still carried the power of a race ancestor. How could a God Heaven Realm cultivator possibly withstand it?

"Or could it be that his treasure is extraordinary?" Asamon considered this possibility. Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures indeed varied in strength, and the amount of power they contained also differed.

"Asamon, I admit that your strength is indeed formidable. I'm not your opponent yet. But my Star Tower is right here. Do you dare fight me in close combat?" Luo Feng looked at Asamon and laughed loudly, his eyes filled with battle intent.

In Asamon's eyes, this Blade Demon merely wanted to temper his saber techniques. But using Asamon as a whetstone—this fellow was looking down on him far too much.

"Your strength is indeed not bad. I never expected that a God Heaven Realm cultivator like you would possess such power. Among God Heaven Realm cultivators, you can be considered the greatest in history," Asamon praised. "But do you think you can act arrogantly just because of the Devouring Domain beneath this tower of yours and your Soul Attack?"

He naturally knew about Luo Feng's Dao Seal methods, but he did not fear them.

The Ancient Phoenix Race's state of bathing in fire allowed the soul to recover rapidly. Dao Seal methods could not touch him at all.

"Since that is your request, then let me see what your saber can do." Asamon grinned. The flaming chain in his hand shortened by a section, while his body transformed into a streak of fire and charged toward Luo Feng. As he entered the Devouring Power beneath the Star Tower, he was slightly startled. "Such powerful Devouring Power. Unfortunately, it's useless against me."

"Take this!" Asamon shouted coldly as the Blazing Chains in his hand smashed viciously toward Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's eyes shone brightly.

"Good timing. Today, I'll use you to temper my saber." Luo Feng charged forward to meet him. At the same time, his Dao Seal had already been unleashed and entered Asamon's body.

This Dao Seal almost completely ignored Asamon's soul defenses. The protective light of his Ancient Phoenix Race held out for only a moment before shattering. The next instant, the Dao Seal entered his soul and immediately erupted with streams of Dao Intent Power, seeking to tear his soul apart.

Feeling the pain, Asamon was instantly horrified. He only knew that Sword Demon and Blade Demon's Soul Attacks were powerful and impossible to resist. He had never experienced a Dao Seal before, but now that he had, even though he had been prepared, its destructive power still made his heart tighten. He immediately burned his soul, entering a state of bathing in fire. That power could not only repair his soul, but also strike against the Dao Seal and block its power.

Fortunately, my power perfectly neutralizes his method. He let out a breath of relief, and his eyes became sharp.

His chain collided directly with Luo Feng's slash.
