Martial God Asura

Chapter 6186: Bond

A voice suddenly echoed from the formation, “Lass, I won’t stop you if you want to die together with Chu Feng, but Chu Feng isn’t dead yet. Are you planning to beat him to it? Don’t you think he’ll fall into despair if he comes back to life but finds you dead?”

Eggy was taken aback.

She scanned her surroundings, but she couldn’t find the person who had just spoken. Nevertheless, she could tell the one who had just spoken was the Asura Sword.

“Where’s Chu Feng?” Eggy anxiously asked as she reined in her power.

“Go to the Immemorial Massacre Sea with Chu Feng and complete the trial. You are probably the only one who can save him now,” the Asura Sword said. 

A power that belonged neither to Eggy nor the Asura World Spirit Army tore through the contract formation. 

Eggy hurriedly made her way to the Immemorial Massacre Sea. The Asura World Spirit Army followed her, bringing the hibernating Yu Sha with them. 

…

Meanwhile, in Calmlake Upper Realm’s underground world… 

Most people’s tears hadn’t dried up, but they were now looking in Little Fishy’s direction in astonishment. 

Something huge happened after Chu Feng dissipated. 

Four incredible auras simultaneously suffused the underground world. These auras were restrained to the underground world, but each was nowhere weaker than the Asura World.

One was the nine-colored lightning.

One was the Ruler’s Bloodline.

One was the Genesis Bloodline.

The fourth was incomparably powerful too, but no one from the Immortal Sea Fish Clan recognized it. It felt like the power of a true god. 

“This fellow has quite a few good things,” the Asura Sword remarked.

The four auras suffusing the underground world retracted at the same time, and Chu Feng’s body was re-manifested. This time, he was no longer a lightning entity but a being of flesh and blood. 

He was unconscious, but at least he was breathing.

The four auras surged into Chu Feng’s body, but Little Fishy and the others remained worried.

While the four auras had kept Chu Feng alive for the time being, they could tell that Chu Feng still only had a breath left in him. He could pass away at any moment.

A spirit formation gate suddenly appeared from Chu Feng’s chest.

“Take Chu Feng to the Immemorial Massacre Sea, but wait at the entrance and don’t make a reckless move. Chu Feng’s world spirit will be there to fetch him,” the Asura Sword instructed before entering Chu Feng’s body via the spirit formation gate. 

The spirit formation gate closed in its wake.

“Yu’er, Shaoyu, come with me.”

The Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief carried Chu Feng and took Little Fishy and Xianhai Shaoyu with him away. 

“I’ll head there to take a look too. The rest of you stay behind to clean up, but don’t linger too long. The earlier commotion must have caught the attention of many powers. It won’t be long before someone comes to investigate the situation,” Little Fishy’s grandfather told Little Fishy’s mother. 

“Where should we meet up?” Little Fishy’s mother asked.

“Let’s meet at the Immemorial Massacre Sea,” Little Fishy’s grandfather replied.

Little Fishy’s mother collected all of the God Armaments scattered around with a wave of her sleeves, placing them into a brand-new Cosmos Sack. 

Then, she turned to her clansmen and said, “You have two hours to search the area for the God Clan’s treasures. Everything you find must be handed over; you can’t take anything for yourself. After two hours, everyone has to return here.” 

After saying her piece, Little Fishy’s mother made her way toward a ruin instead of searching for treasures. 

This ruin was Shen Yi’s previous residence. It had been majestic and resplendent till Chu Feng thoroughly destroyed it. 

The damage was not just limited to the surface; his lightning had seeped underground too.

Little Fishy’s mother unleashed her prowess as a Heavenly God to overturn the ground, exposing a tunnel that led deeper underground. She entered the tunnel and soon arrived at an underground palace. 

This underground palace should have been destroyed too, but Chu Feng had consciously avoided this area when bombarding the surroundings with his Descent of Lightning Punishment.

Chu Feng must have long noticed this place. 

So, Little Fishy’s mother entered the underground palace. Soon, she found a shackled, red-cloaked man fitted with a metal mask. 

… 

When Eggy and the Asura World Spirit Army arrived at the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s entrance, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief, Little Fishy, and the others were already waiting for them there. 

Eggy walked straight up to the Immemorial Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief to take Chu Feng from his arms before stepping into the black vortex. 

She swiftly flitted through the Immemorial Massacre Sea, but to her surprise, she didn’t encounter any hindrances along the way. She didn’t even encounter any killing intent in the calm sea region. 

“What’s going on, Asura Sword? Why are there no obstacles?” Eggy anxiously asked.

She was afraid that she couldn’t undergo the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s trial as a world spirit. That would mean that she had no way of saving Chu Feng. 

“Calm down, lass. The bond shared between you and Chu Feng is not something that can be undone just by dispelling your contract. Thus, you don’t have to challenge the trials Chu Feng has already cleared. However, you will have to clear the challenges he hasn’t challenged yet. 

“I ought to warn you that the challenges behind will only get more dangerous. You can give up if you don’t want to save him,” the Asura Sword said.

“Cut the bullshit,” Eggy cursed.

The Asura Sword chuckled. “Calm down, I’m just alleviating the tension with a joke. There’s no need to get so touchy.”

Eggy ignored the Asura Sword and continued flitting ahead.

Soon, she arrived at the place where the ‘Kill’ characters appeared.

The circle platform reappeared amidst the waves, but the ‘Kill’ characters remained conspicuously absent. 

Eggy stepped onto the circle platform with Chu Feng in her arms. The platform swiftly descended to the bottom of the Immemorial Massacre Sea.

Just then, Eggy’s consciousness was plunged into another realm. It was a white realm that formed a stark contrast to the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s pitch-black surroundings. 

“Congratulations for coming this far. Your talent has been recognized. You qualify to continue challenging this trial. Before then, you can make a wish. As long as the wish is within an acceptable scope, your wish will be granted when you clear the trial.”

Eggy immediately spoke up, “Cure him and advance him to Heavenly God level.”

“That wish isn’t within an acceptable scope,” the voice replied.

“Treat him and revert him to his original state. There should be no side effects.”

“That wish isn’t within an acceptable scope too.”

“Why does none of the wishes work? Say something, Asura Sword! You said that I could save Chu Feng here. What’s going on here?” Eggy growled.

She knew Chu Feng must have entered this space too. She couldn’t see what happened then, but she had a feeling that Asura Sword did. Otherwise, the Asura Sword wouldn’t have told her to come here.  

Indeed, the Asura Sword said, “Madame, they already told you to make a wish within an acceptable scope. Do you think what you are asking for is within an acceptable scope?

“Chu Feng would have been dead if not for all the good stuff inside him working together to preserve his final breath. How can someone so severely injured be restored to his original condition? This is a trial ground; it isn’t as magical as you imagine.”

Eggy turned to the source of the voice and said, “Please make sure he lives. Do your best to help him recover as much as possible. Is that possible?”

“I’ll do my best, but that’s only if you clear the trial. You’ll have to pay a price if you fail the trial,” the voice said. 

“I’ll accept any price,” Eggy immediately replied. 

But what the voice said next stunned Eggy. 

“You two must have braved through many life-and-death situations, which gave rise to your deep bond. If you fail the trial, your bond will be severed, and he will disappear from your life.”

Eggy finally understood why Chu Feng had given up.

He was afraid of the consequences. He was afraid of losing her.
