As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1248
Chapter 1248 Asura’s Heart
Within the Undying Sea, the aura of the Asura permeated. Xiao Chen withdrew the aura from his entire body and carefully walked to avoid being discovered by the Asura guards here.
Three days later, he had already arrived at the Asura Formation. There were many restrictions nearby, and there were countless guards. If it were in the past, he would most likely have been discovered or triggered by the Asura Formation.
However, under his Undying Concept, none of the restrictions, guards, or hidden array formations could escape his divine sense.
Perhaps not even the Asura King could have imagined that the restrictions he had placed here in the past would be so easily avoided. At the very least, not even the four Alliance Leaders in Mirage Sea could do so.
“Whoosh!”
A silver needle shot out and Xiao Chen silently brought down an Asura Guard. Of course, it only caused him to temporarily lose consciousness and not injure his life.
After a night like this, all the guards near the Asura Formation were secretly knocked down by him. As for the entire formation, there were a total of 9981 formations.
Ordinary people naturally wouldn’t be able to discover these formations, but he was now much more sensitive to formations than before. Under his divine sense, these formations seemed to shine as if they would be seen by him.
As for the spirit lights and restrictions of the formation, he could naturally “see” them as well. He carefully arrived at the center of the formation and saw a blood-red agate floating in the center of the formation. It was as if a person’s heart was beating slowly.
This was the Heart of the Asura. As long as the Heart of the Asura was taken away, the entire formation would naturally slowly become paralyzed. It was as if a person had lost his heart, gradually “withered” and “died”.
On the other hand, if one wanted to take away the Asura’s Heart, one had to first destroy eighty-one formations. In this way, even if one did not take away the Asura’s Heart, the formation would gradually become paralyzed, as if one had no limbs left.
“You are very strong to be able to cross the restrictions and come here.”
Right at this moment, a deep and cold voice sounded not far away. A figure slowly walked out from behind a huge boulder. That person was over thirty meters tall and looked very sturdy. He held a halberd in his hand, causing people to tremble even more.
Without a doubt, this was an Asura expert, and his strength was no weaker than Tian Mozi’s. Xiao Chen was on alert, and several silver needles had already been secretly condensed in his hand.
“Unfortunately, this will be your final burial ground.”
After the Asura expert finished speaking, he suddenly slashed down with a halberd. The ferocious and sharp halberd light instantly caused a gust of wind, as if it was tearing through the void. Before the halberd arrived, several nearby boulders instantly exploded, turning into dust. Even the ground Xiao Chen was on could not withstand the fierce force and cracked open.
The Asura Clan was especially famous for their strength. Under the cultivation of fellow cultivators, in terms of strength alone, Mirage Sea’s cultivators were definitely no match for an Asura expert.
At this moment, even Xiao Chen didn’t dare to forcefully receive such a powerful force. He kicked his feet and instantly flew up. With a flick of his sleeve, he fired out all the silver needles in his hand.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
However, there was only a sharp sound. Several silver needles shot over were blocked by the Asura expert with his halberd body.
Right now, Xiao Chen’s flying needle skill was already outstanding. Those who could block his flying needle were definitely not ordinary people. He didn’t expect that not only was this Asura expert terrifying in strength, but his reaction speed and speed were also so fast.
“Drink!”
The Asura expert swept the halberd in his hand, and a ray of blood-colored halberd light instantly flew towards Xiao Chen. It was like the clouds in the sky, and the power of the spatial rift was as terrifying as it was!
Xiao Chen leaned back and the halberd light swept past his face. In the next moment, the Asura expert suddenly jumped up and stabbed down at him like thunder.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the dust on the ground instantly rolled upwards, causing smoke and dust to billow within a radius of more than ten zhang. In the midst of the smoke and dust, a swift shadow had already flown over. Xiao Chen Ling Xian Step once again dodged the halberd of the Asura powerhouse. Under such a storm of attacks, he was unable to retaliate at all.
“Humph!”
With a cold snort, the Asura expert swept his halberd across the sky and the dust scattered. Suddenly, a bloody light blossomed on his body, and his strength increased several times.
At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. With a swipe of his finger, a faint layer of azure Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi enveloped his body.
In the blink of an eye, the Asura expert had already attacked again. Its strength was truly terrifying. Even though Xiao Chen had the protection of the Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi, he still had to deal with it carefully.
The two of them fought for a while, and the surrounding area was already filled with sand and rocks. The rumbling sounds were endless. Xiao Chen was worried that if this continued, more people would come. However, at this moment, the Asura expert suddenly swept over with a halberd.
Clang!
With a loud explosion, Xiao Chen was unable to dodge the halberd and was sent flying. Fortunately, he was wearing the Black Tortoise Armor. Otherwise, his internal organs would have been damaged under the halberd.
“Hmph, that’s right. You’re unharmed under my halberd. Looks like your physique is also very strong … I wonder if you’ll be able to withstand it the next time.”
The Asura expert’s voice was deep. Although his strength was just fierce, he seemed to be a bit honest. If it was a cultivator from Mirage Sea, he would have seen that Xiao Chen had a precious armor protecting him. However, he thought that Xiao Chen was only physically strong.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already thought of a way to deal with this person. With a flash of his body, he instantly moved elsewhere. The Asura expert snorted coldly, “It’s useless. No matter how fast you are, you can’t dodge my Asura power.” As soon as he finished speaking, another halberd slashed towards Xiao Chen.
This halberd was indeed extremely fast and fierce. However, when it landed on Xiao Chen’s body, layers of cracks instantly opened up on the ground. The sky was filled with smoke and dust. Xiao Chen’s figure actually dissipated in an instant.
“Huh?” The Asura expert’s gaze turned cold. Obviously, the halberd he had just used was only Xiao Chen’s avatar illusion technique.
“Humph! You Mirage Sea people only know these tricks. Unfortunately, it’s useless in front of me!”
In the blink of an eye, the Asura expert slashed towards Xiao Chen with a fierce halberd. At this moment, Xiao Chen also used Ling Xian Step to the extreme, leaving behind only an illusion on the spot.
“Gold, wood, water, fire, earth …”
Suddenly, he couldn’t help but form seals with incantations. His original body instantly transformed into five avatars, completely incapable of distinguishing between the real and the real.
“Humph!”
The Asura warrior swept his halberd and the blood-colored halberd light flew out. One by one, it destroyed Xiao Chen’s avatar. Just as the last avatar was being destroyed, Xiao Chen suddenly appeared in the void and stabbed behind the Asura warrior.
“Huh?”
Sensing the sword qi coming from behind him, the Asura expert turned around like a bolt of lightning. With a “clang” sound, both of his hands crossed their halberds, blocking Xiao Chen’s sword strike.
However, seeing the dazzling green light of the sword, the Asura expert was shaken back continuously. It was obvious that he had just killed five avatars of Xiao Chen in a row. In this short period of time, his strength had yet to recover.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Chen struck out with another palm. With a “bang”, the Asura expert couldn’t help but retreat. By the time he stood firm, several silver needles had already shot towards him.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
These silver needles accurately shot into the acupuncture points of the Asura Realm expert, causing his strength to greatly decrease. However, even so, the halberd in his hand was still terrifying. He waved it and another ray of blood-colored halberd light flew towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen instantly spread out his Ling Xian Step to dodge. At the same time, he circled behind the Asura expert. With a wave of his finger, another few silver needles shot out.
“Uh …”
The Asura expert let out a muffled snort. In just a short moment, more than ten silver needles had entered his body, sealing all the acupoints in his body.
At this moment, his face was deathly pale and his entire body was covered in sweat. His face was unyielding, but in the end, he powerlessly knelt down on one knee and said, “You … you …”
Xiao Chen slowly descended from the sky. At this moment, he no longer hesitated. His hands formed seals, and countless strands of Spiritual Qi suddenly flew out from his body, sealing the Asura expert. In the end, he formed a profound seal in his hand and struck the Asura expert’s eyebrows.
“You …”
The Asura expert tried his best to resist, but in the end, he still lost consciousness. With a “bang”, his enormous body fainted, stirring up dust all over the ground.
Xiao Chen slowly laid his hands on his dantian and recovered some of his Yuan Qi. After that, he arrived at the Asura’s Heart. He had to take away the Asura’s Heart as soon as possible. The fight just now must have alerted the other Asura Clansmen. Soon, someone would arrive here.
However, at this moment, he seemed to be hesitating. In the end, his heart moved horizontally and his arms trembled. Eighty-one strands of Spiritual Qi formed on his body, and he flew towards eighty-one positions accurately and unmistakably.
Eighty-one strands of Spiritual Qi continued to condense into eighty-one places. After a long time, Xiao Chen’s face became paler and paler, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. In the end, the spell formation seemed to have finally stabilized. He jumped into the air and removed the Heart of the Asura.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The moment he removed the Asura’s Heart, the earth trembled endlessly, as if it was about to collapse. The Spiritual Qi in the sky also surged violently like a violent wave in the sea.
Once the Asura’s Heart left the array, the Asura King and the Asura Race experts would be able to sense it immediately. Xiao Chen knew that he couldn’t stay any longer. He had to leave the Asura Sea as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Asura Race experts arrived, he wouldn’t be able to leave.
“Stop!”
Just as he was about to leave, a large number of figures appeared in the distance. They looked like Asura warriors nearby. However, the cultivation of these people was ordinary in his eyes. He did not pay any attention to them. He moved his body and flew in the direction of the nearby Asura warriors.
However, at this moment, a figure stood in front of him and pointed at him with a knife, “You … leave behind the Asura’s Heart!”
The person in front of him was dressed in red and was as beautiful as a painting. However, the look in his eyes at this moment was extremely complicated. She was Yanyue Wuqing.
