Chapter 10: Asura God

Hmmm….

"Alright, I guess I will have to focus on finding a solution to my cultivation now that I'm done reading these books. Moreover, all these books only give me the basic knowledge of the world; I'm sure there is more to it."

Sigh…

Tian said to himself in a depressing tone before walking toward the castle.

Huh...

Tian raises his eye brown and looks in the direction of the pagoda standing majestically on its own; the moment he gets close to the castle, he hears a calling from the pagoda, and there is a feeling in his heart that all his problems would be solved in that pagoda.

He walked toward the pagoda.

There was no gate in front of the pagoda. It only had a dark milky portal as the entrance; Tian went inside without probing it since he felt no sense of danger.

....

In front of him was a city; everywhere was strangely quiet; Tian was surprised to see himself in this big city with no soul.

A spear appears in his hand, and he prepares himself for any danger cause his instinct is screaming for trouble; he starts walking around the city until he reaches the center of the town.

He became confused and started thinking.

"I was supposed to be inside the pagoda, or this is inside the pagoda? No, it can't be, cause immediately I entered the pagoda, I felt a shift in the space".

"Hmm... or is this an illusion?"

He was in thought, trying to figure out his current situation; suddenly, multiple humans started coming out from different buildings; their leader was an old man using a walking stick with a white beard.

Immediately Tian walks to the old man.

"old man, I'm a stranger in this city and lost. Can you please tell me what's going on here?"

"I can tell you are a stranger to this city, young man; you shouldn't have been here, sigh"….

Tian raises his eyebrow with curiosity….

"The corpse demons have tormented this city for many years; they came here to slaughter my people, and even I as a leader I'm helpless against these demons, so I had everyone hide in the underground below the city lord building we've been hiding there until we saw you."

"Young man, I can feel a terrifying blood qi from you, and you must be a dragon among men. Will you help us eradicate the corpse demons tormenting our city so that the young can grow and the old can die in peace?"

The old man said this to Tian with his head bowed to show his sincerity, but there was a flash of bloodthirsty light behind his eyes that he hid immediately.

But the old man underestimated Tian's beastly instinct; he noticed that subtle change of aura on the old man before it returned to normal.

Then a mischievous smile appears on his face.

"Ohhh... So something like that happens here? I guess you people must have suffered a lot. What a pity".

Alright, old man, when will the demon's expert appear here?

"Thank you, young man; my name is zhang wu, and the demon's expert will appear in an hour. May I know this young man's name?"

"Tian"

"The name suits you very much, sir." The old man flatters him.

"Alright, old man, can you take me to where you are hiding so I can wait before the demons arrive?"

"Yes, of course... of course."

"Follow me; it's right ahead of us"...

"Hehe hehe... what a strong blood qi. Drinking his blood will be quite satisfying, hahaha."

The old man thought to himself...

Tian was scanning his surrounding, and he felt a lot of solid gazes from the buildings in the city.

"Can't believe I walk into the middle of danger myself; why does everyone want my life everywhere I go?"

He cried in his mind...

Suddenly, he felt danger from behind him and acted instinctually by attacking with his spear; before the dagger reached his neck, he had already pierced the assailant heart.

He saw a young girl of 5yrs old holding a black dagger in her hand, pierced in her heart by his spear.

Then all of a sudden, he felt multiple humans with demonic energy coming out of the buildings; these people surrounded him, and they kept coming out until they numbered up to thousands.

He looked behind him, and he couldn't find any old man.

Hehehehehee...

"Young man, your blood is so attractive that I can't resist the urge to suck you dry, so leave your life behind."

Tian heard the old man's voice before a crazed look appeared on his face.

"Hahaha... If you want my blood, come take it; let's see if you are capable enough".

"Ohhh, you seem confident; I shall grant your wish. Attack him".

The old man gave the signal, and everybody attacked Tian from all directions, it was chaotic, and the city shook violently.

Tian started another massacre with his spear, his scale-covered him, and the aura from him was destructive. He starts killing.

This killing goes on for a long time.

A man was fighting thousands of experts, and each expert was a saint realm Expert, but he was killing them like an ant.

However, he wasn't looking good. Also, after killing for a long time, many wounds appear on his scale, blood dire, his white hair red, his eye turned bloodshot, and he was laughing wildly.

His current situation was not looking good since the slaughter qi around him consumed his mind; he became more rampant and started killing like a machine.

This goes on as more and more experts die, corpses pile up like a mountain, and Tian is lost in the pleasure of killing; suddenly, the runes on his forehead glow brightly, and his eyes return to normal.

He created some distance between himself and the demonic expert before he took a deep breath.

"Dammit, what a dangerous situation; I was almost consumed by the pleasure of slaughter, sigh... Thank goodness I regained my thought by thinking of that woman's last word, "Always keep a firm heart."

"Well seems the killing will have to continue. I wonder how I can break this illusion, I'm in".

Tian muttered to himself in a deteriorating state before he resumed his killing.

As time passed, his body became numb, and his movement slowed down; he was breathing heavily and was too tired now, but his gaze was firm, and there was no fear in his eye.

Suddenly he felt like death was clutching his heart; this sense of death made his heart tremble.

Behind him was the old man with his sword approaching Tian; the old man had been waiting for Tian to be exhausted before he made his move.

Tian's eyes turn bloodshot, and a maniacal expression appears on his face; his aura becomes explosive for a second before he turns around swiftly and uses his right chest to receive the sword attack.

The sword pierces his chest till it emerges from his back, but Tian immediately stabs the old man in his heart.

He made a great sacrifice, and his action was swift.

The old man was speechless cause he never thought the man would have such a quick reaction; he gazed into Tian's eyes with an unwilling expression.

Tian quickly regained his footing and rushed in the opposite direction before the expert's attack arrived behind him, all the attacks landed on the old man's body, and his body was blown to pieces.

Tian prepared himself again cause the expert was now rushing in his direction; his gaze was calm and collected before he ran to meet the remaining expert, who numbered a thousand head-ons.

Suddenly his surroundings changed, and he fell to the ground; now he was back inside the pagoda, but all the wounds on his body were real.

He looked at his wound and thought to himself.

"So that was not an illusion..... Was I wrong?"

He stood up to observe his surrounding, but it was empty, and ahead of him was a man.

His blood-red hair reached his shoulder, his skin was blue with different patterns on his body, and his eye was blood-red with no other color.

He was dressed in black armor and barefooted; he had a scythe as his weapon.

Tian was scared out of his wit when he saw this man cause he felt like he was seeing death himself.

The man then smiled at him.

"I am called Asura God."
