Surprise! Asura God Power? Chase!

Dai Chengfeng's brows knitted tightly as he sensed the unfamiliar energy at his fingertip, a wisp of absolute, bone-piercing cold that contained no low-grade malice whatsoever.

For a moment, a phrase inexplicably surfaced in Dai Chengfeng's mind...

What does destroying you have to do with you?

This energy was exactly like that!

It seemed to have no "interest" in anything at all. Its existence was solely for slaughter and destruction, pure and absolute beyond compare!

"It's neither Soul Power nor Innate Geng Metal Qi."

"Instead, it's a special kind of energy that's somewhat similar to killing intent, yet completely different... purer, higher-level, and perfectly above killing intent?"

Dai Chengfeng lowered his head and looked at that unfamiliar energy. Even though it was only a single wisp, both Soul Power and killing intent instinctively "feared" it...

He could be one hundred percent certain!

Before this, there had absolutely never been such a special energy inside his body. Otherwise, there was no way he would not have noticed.

"Then when, and from where, did I obtain this energy?"

"And although it clearly looks extremely unfamiliar, it instinctively feels familiar to me, as if I've seen it somewhere before..."

But before he could finish speaking, Dai Chengfeng's expression suddenly went dazed. "I remember!"

"That God Seat!"

Dai Chengfeng shot to his feet in excitement. At this moment, he finally remembered.

The reason he felt that inexplicable familiarity with this energy was because he truly had seen it before!

It was the first time he had entered that Blood-colored Space—that was, the "dream" he had fallen into after losing consciousness during the Wu'an Blood War.

In the "dream," he had not known whether everything was reality or dream, nor had he known that it might be a path to Becoming a God through faith...

Therefore, out of curiosity, he had once tried to walk toward that God Seat, wanting to see the view from atop it.

In the end.

Halfway there, he had been stopped by this exact kind of energy and could no longer take even a single step forward.

And after he woke up, some details from that "dream" had already become extremely blurred, which was why he had felt this energy was both unfamiliar and familiar earlier.

"If..."

"If this energy comes from that God Seat, then is it Asura God Power?"

Dai Chengfeng looked at the trace of dark, special energy on his fingertip, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.

However, the moment that thought rose, Dai Chengfeng shook his head again. "No, it should be called Asura Power."

"After all, the energy at my fingertip wasn't borrowed from the Asura God, that God King of the divine realm, but came from this world's most fundamental law—the law of Becoming a God."

"Therefore, I can freely control this energy completely, and even feed it with killing intent to make it grow..."

"Just like my Divine Slaughter's Domain. Its potential is far beyond those Divine Slaughter's Domains gained as rewards by clearing Hell Road in Slaughter City!"

"Perhaps that kind has a higher starting point, but..."

"Only power cultivated through one's own efforts truly belongs to oneself!"

At this thought, Dai Chengfeng's eyes filled with excitement.

He had never wanted to Become a God through faith in the first place. After all, in Huaxia mythology, those who became gods through incense and faith would all be shackled—or rather, leashed... and controlled by the Heavenly Court.

Although the Douluo World had no Heavenly Court, it did have Origin laws.

Therefore, those who became gods through faith were very likely to be restricted and shackled by the Origin laws.

After all, the gods of the Douluo World were clearly not free!

As long as one became a god, one had to take on the responsibility of assisting the God Kings in managing other star systems and planets. How was that any different from the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court?

In fact, when Dai Chengfeng had read the Original Work of Douluo in his Previous Life, he had once been puzzled...

If a Divine Position was truly such a good thing, then why did almost all gods want to pass theirs down?

They even did not hesitate to use all sorts of methods for that!

"If Becoming a God only means putting shackles on myself, then I, Dai Chengfeng, would rather not become such a god at all!"

This had been Dai Chengfeng's initial thought.

So he had decisively refused that God Seat's acknowledgment and shattered it with a spear thrust.

But he had never expected it!

At the instant the God Seat was annihilated, he had actually absorbed a wisp of dispersed Asura Power by accident through the Innate Skill!

This was absolutely an unexpected surprise!

"The Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon is awesome. The Innate Skill is awesome!"

For a moment, Dai Chengfeng was fully satisfied as he looked at the Asura Power that, even when gathered all together, was not as large as a grain of rice.

"Although there's very little of it, if it hits, even a Titled Douluo might be injured by it, right?"

As for killing one, Dai Chengfeng felt that was not very likely.

It wasn't that this Asura Power wasn't strong enough, but that he himself was too weak.

After all, this energy was so special that as long as he made a move, it would be hard for him not to be discovered and avoided by experts whose Soul Power and physical qualities far surpassed his.

But even so!

This wisp of Asura God Power was absolutely Dai Chengfeng's new, strongest trump card for turning the tables in a desperate situation.

"Awesome!"

Dai Chengfeng laughed loudly and drew the Asura Power back into his body.

Then he sat cross-legged again and silently circulated the Innate Skill. "In the end, Soul Power is the foundation!"

The next morning.

Morning Sun cut through the clouds and mist, white dew hanging all over the leaves. Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan had gotten up early.

At that moment, looking at the Star Dou Great Forest just a step away, Zhu Fan turned his head to Dai Chengfeng and gave him a solemn warning. "Chengfeng, from here on out, you have to stay on maximum alert the entire way and keep close to your uncle."

"This place isn't like the Tiger Might Mountain Range. Anything can happen here."

"And you must remember this!"

"The most terrifying thing in the Star Dou Great Forest will never be Soul Beasts, but the human heart!"

Hearing this, Dai Chengfeng looked at the boundless Star Dou Great Forest before him and took a deep breath. "Don't worry, Uncle. I understand."

"Good. Let's move."

"Mm."

Dai Chengfeng nodded and kept close behind Zhu Fan as the two of them, one in front and one behind, stepped into the endless sea of trees ahead.

After the two of them left, a gentle breeze brushed across the grass. Blades of grass rubbed against one another, making a soft rustling sound.

Aside from that, everything was deathly still.

An unknown amount of time passed before the air, which had been as calm as stagnant water, suddenly stirred with a barely perceptible ripple.

Several figures dressed in tight black outfits appeared without warning at the campsite where Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan had stayed the previous night.

Their movements were swift and silent, as if they had perfectly merged with the surrounding environment.

The leading black-clad man was tall and straight, his face cold and stern, his eyes revealing a ruthless ferocity tempered by long years of slaughter.

He looked at the traces of crushed grass and vegetation around him, frowned slightly, then slowly crouched down and reached out to touch the ground, carefully inspecting the traces left behind.

A moment later, he stood up and quickly swept his gaze over his companions, his voice deep and low.

"They left not long ago. The traces are still fresh."

When the other black-clad men heard this, a flicker of excitement flashed through their eyes.

One of the slightly shorter black-clad men couldn't help licking his dry lips. "We finally found traces."

"After them!"

The leading black-clad man nodded and spat out a single word.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and dashed in the direction Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan had left.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

The other black-clad men followed close behind. Their figures rapidly shuttled through the forest, leaving only blurred afterimages behind.
