Chapter 225 : Asura True Form
Chapter 225: Asura True Form
The four of them immediately formed hand seals simultaneously. In an instant, black qi billowed from the four terrifying Ten Thousand Souls Banners.
The black qi gathered together, forming a gigantic sphere of black energy.
Without the slightest hesitation, they blasted it toward the Ghost King.
The Ghost King showed no fear whatsoever. He also thrust both hands forward, and the boundless blood sphere immediately shot toward the black energy sphere.
Thunderous explosions rang out incessantly as the two massive spheres tore through space and the air.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the five of them, the two unparalleled attacks collided instantly.
With a deafening boom, heaven and earth trembled, as though the very land itself was about to shatter.
Below them, the once enormous Ironstone City was completely leveled by this strike, becoming nothing more than a field of ruins.
Terrifying energy ripples spread in every direction. Within a radius of several hundred meters, everything collapsed under the impact of these horrifying shockwaves.
The surrounding area was blasted into a vast plain.
At this moment, the Ghost King's expression became solemn.
He discovered that his previous attack had failed to defeat the four of them.
It seemed he had underestimated these so-called Blood Demons.
His expression became even more serious as he said coldly,
“The four of you do possess some ability. However, you will still die here today.”
The Ghost King no longer hesitated. Forming hand seals, his body rapidly expanded as though it had been inflated.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a terrifying demonic creature dozens of zhang tall.
The creature's skin was crimson, with twin horns upon its head and a pair of wings on its back.
His five fingers had also transformed into razor-sharp claws.
This was the Asura True Form.
After the Asura True Form appeared, the Ghost King's strength surged several times over once again.
He then suddenly lashed out with a claw toward the four of them.
Seeing this, the expressions of the four changed slightly.
Immediately afterward, while maintaining their hand seals, countless souls poured forth from the four Ten Thousand Souls Banners.
The souls transformed into countless illusory phantoms that instantly appeared across the heavens before gathering together into a colossal dark skull.
From the skull came endless roars, sounding like the agonized screams of tortured souls.
As soon as the skull took shape, it abruptly turned and charged toward the dozens-of-zhang-tall Asura Dharma Body formed by the Ghost King.
At that instant, the Ghost King fiercely struck out with a claw.
With a thunderous boom, the terrifying skull collided directly with the Ghost King's claw.
Shriek! Shriek!
The harsh sound of claws scraping across crystal rang out continuously.
The Ghost King's Asura True Form and that terrifying skull clashed relentlessly, unleashing unimaginably destructive power.
The surrounding land was blasted into an enormous deep crater.
Seeing this, the four members of the Nether Spring Sect maintained solemn expressions while continuously forming hand seals.
As the gigantic skull collided with the Ghost King, countless souls were destroyed by him.
The four continuously summoned more souls from the Ten Thousand Souls Banners to replenish the skull's losses, allowing them to withstand the Ghost King's attacks for a short period of time.
At this moment, the Ghost King's strength was astonishingly overwhelming. Every movement he made possessed the power to crush mountains and shatter the earth.
At the same time, streams of blood-colored energy attacks continuously erupted from his mouth, each one incomparably terrifying.
The four Nether Spring Sect disciples now felt tremendous pressure.
They had never expected the Ghost King to be so powerful. Especially after transforming into the Asura True Form, even the four of them found it extremely difficult to contend with him.
As for the other two disciples who had yet to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, after holding out for some time, they began to feel the spiritual power within their bodies running dry.
The two immediately called out to the two senior brothers in the group,
“Seventh Senior Brother, Eighth Senior Brother, this demonic creature is too powerful. If this battle drags on any longer, we may all die here. Please think of a solution.”
After hearing the words of the two junior brothers, the two Nether Spring Sect disciples frowned slightly.
They knew that if things continued like this, they were indeed very likely to lose.
Moreover, they had also noticed earlier that the gigantic cauldron brought by the Ghost King contained endless power.
Every time this Asura exhausted part of his strength, an immense surge of Blood Energy would gush forth from that giant cauldron, pouring into the Ghost King's body and restoring his power.
With one side continually recovering while the other was steadily being depleted, their disadvantage became increasingly apparent.
The four of them had never imagined that on such a barren continent, they would actually encounter an Asura,
and that this Asura would be so powerful that even the combined strength of all four of them found him difficult to handle.
After hearing the words of his three junior brothers, Seventh Brother of the Nether Spring Sect pondered briefly before saying,
“Junior Brothers, this can't continue. How about we use the Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation?” (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
The other three junior brothers were momentarily stunned after hearing Seventh Senior Brother's suggestion.
The Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation was a unique formation of the Nether Spring Sect that required the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to perform.
However, using the Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation inflicted tremendous damage upon the Ten Thousand Souls Banners.
If the banners could not be repaired in time after the formation was used, their grade might even decline.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, members of the Nether Spring Sect would never use the Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation.
Because of this, the other three junior brothers hesitated.
Seeing their hesitation, Seventh Senior Brother immediately said,
“Junior Brothers, if we can kill this Asura and extract his Asura Soul to refine it into our Ten Thousand Souls Banners,
then with the Asura's terrifying growth potential, our Ten Thousand Souls Banners will never again lack a Principal Soul.
Furthermore, when we later advance our Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Million Souls Banners, it will become much easier. Can you not see the value in this?”
After hearing Seventh Senior Brother's words, the eyes of the three junior brothers instantly became resolute.
Indeed, their goal was not merely to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Deity Transformation Realm and even higher realms were their true ambitions.
What did a little damage matter at a time like this?
As long as they killed this Asura, they could simply massacre even more living beings on this continent afterward and refine their souls into the Ten Thousand Souls Banners. Their banners would inevitably recover and suffer no significant damage.
Thus, all three instantly steeled their resolve.
“We shall do as Seventh Senior Brother says.”
With that, the three flashed away simultaneously, instantly moving to different positions and surrounding the Ghost King.
When the Ghost King saw that the four actually dared to separate, a fierce light immediately blazed in his eyes.
If the four had remained together, they would have posed some difficulty.
But now that they had split apart, scattering their strength, hunting them down would become exceedingly easy for the Ghost King.
