Chapter 1542 - 1543: Asura Divine Power
The woman snorted and slowly walked over to sit beside the man.
"Jian Xu. Are you planning to leave here?"
The Ragged Man wrapped his arms around his knees, staring at the blood-red sky above.
"I've been here for so long, but I still can't unlock the sealed memories. I want to go out into the world and take a look; maybe I can find the descendant of the Heavenly Secret Sword."
The woman snorted: "What about me, what should I do?"
Jian Xu grabbed her hand, smiling slightly.
"Come with me. Let's leave together; don't worry about anything here."
The woman struggled, trying to shake off Jian Xu's hand.
"I am unwilling. Clearly, I have sensed the aura of the god and the Martial Will, yet I cannot merge them or comprehend them."
"So many years have passed, wasting much of my youth."
Jian Xu smiled faintly, his smile somewhat peculiar.
"Have you ever thought that this might be the Black Widow's poisonous plan?"
"She accidentally arrived here, sensed the will of the Ancient God, but like you, could not grasp its mysteries."
"At that moment, you were entangled, so she led you here, letting you discover the Divine Trace, and then became deeply trapped while she took the opportunity to escape."
The woman froze, listening to Jian Xu's analysis, and was greatly astonished.
"What you say is very possible, huh, he killed my father, I avenged my father's death; how is that an endless entanglement?"
At this point, the woman sighed deeply.
"If you are right, then I have completely lost to the Black Widow."
"She sensed the will and presence of the Ancient God but could resist comprehending and studying, instead setting a huge trap for me."
"Such intelligence and will are beyond my comparison."
Jian Xu nodded, also feeling emotional.
"It is said that the Spider Queen is the Martial God's woman. If the Spider Queen is already so formidable, then the Martial God is even more of a god-like existence."
"Such a Great Master is incredibly powerful, deserving of worship."
The woman blankly stared into the void, thinking about how she had stayed here all these years to study the will of the Ancient God, with mixed feelings.
Finally, she nodded: "You are right."
"This space is a fragment left after the explosion of the Cultivation World, drifting through time and space."
"No one knows when it will next fuse with Earth Space. I can't let my youth waste away here any longer."
Jian Xu smiled faintly, approvingly nodding.
The woman's eyes showed a hint of hatred again.
"Damn Black Widow, she tricked me into staying here, kept me trapped for ten years. With revenge piled on top of old grievances, I will not let her go."
Jian Xu sighed: "Actually, the Spider Queen had good intentions; she simply didn't want to be entangled with you."
"All these years, you have studied the Divine Trace and the will of the god daily, and although you have not comprehended it, your Martial Arts Realm has advanced rapidly."
"Had you trained in the city, there would have been too many distractions, and you might not have broken through yourself to reach such a Realm."
The woman remained silent, her mind in turmoil, yet ultimately gritted her teeth.
"No, I am determined to take the Spider Queen's life. The animosity of my father's murder is irreconcilable."
"You don't know how my mother and I survived in the dark streets of New York after my father's death."
Jian Xu casually smiled: "Then do what you want. When shall we leave?"
The woman sighed, looking at the blood-red sky, somewhat reluctant to leave.
"Ten years, from initially wanting to leave all the time, to later being obsessed, comprehending the will of the god, as if I've been dreaming a great dream, now I am somewhat reluctant to leave."
Jian Xu placed his hands on her shoulders, his voice much softer.
"Let's go, if this continues and you still can't comprehend the will of the god, we will grow old and die here."
"Life is short, and there are many things to do, Martial Arts cultivation doesn't have to be here."
The woman made up her mind and stood up.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. When this space detaches from the Earth Space, we'll leave here."
Jian Xu looked at the blood-red sky, showing some longing in his expression.
"The Black Forest and Earth Space fusion lasts ten days. Now five days have passed; in five more days, we can return to the Earth Space."
"Ten years, I don't know how the world is now. I must go home and see if my family is well."
The woman softly leaned against Jian Xu's side: "Alright, I'll go with you."
Just then, a sharp, cold laugh came from the city gate.
Shi Kong's tall and robust figure blocked the entrance of the ruins' castle.
"Jian Xu, you played tricks and deceived us for ten years, enslaving this space for ten years, yet now want to strut away?"
Jian Xu frowned slightly, speaking calmly: "What do you want?"
Shi Kong's massive Battle Will surged, Essence Qi billowing like smoke, his eyes flashed like blades.
"Actually, I've always wanted to see just how formidable your Ten Thousand Swords to the Ancestor truly is."
"I know you inherited the secret technique from the Ten Thousand Swords Realm of the Cultivation World, but I, Shi Kong, am not made of clay."
After Shi Kong spoke, he suddenly let out a thunderous roar, raising his arms high.
His outer garment was torn apart by his violent True Martial Qi Energy, revealing strong muscles.
On Shi Kong's skin appeared strange patterns.
Those patterns, like designs on a shield, carried an indestructible, heavy as a mountain sense.
Jian Xu's eyes remained very calm, nodding slightly.
"Indeed, I have always underestimated you. Over these ten years, you haven't been idle; you've actually grasped the will of the Ancient God."
"Though only a little, it already makes you strong enough."
Roar!
Shi Kong let out a thunderous roar, the surface patterns on his body became finer and more exquisite.
The Essence Qi around him rapidly condensed, forming a shield and a long knife in his hands.
Shi Kong grinned: "You're wrong, I just recently gained comprehension."
"I was defeated by the Martial God's disciple, but instead, it inspired me, allowing me to grasp this Asura Divine Power."
Jian Xu looked at Shi Kong indifferently.
"So, you muster up the courage to challenge me?"
"Yes, prepare yourself."
Shi Kong let out an ear-piercing roar, shot towards Jian Xu like a cannonball.
The airflow whirled through the ruins, creating a semi-transparent path behind Shi Kong, like a War Banner.
Shi Kong resembled a comet with a long tail flame, smashing a fist towards Jian Xu.
Jian Xu smiled approvingly and nodded.
"This Asura Divine Power is truly formidable, but for me, it's not impressive enough."
After Jian Xu spoke, with a move of his left hand, True Qi condensed, forming a pale cyan Longsword.
The sword was three inches and three points long, its Sword Edge gleaming with light.
At that moment, as Shi Kong's massive fist, wrapped in turbulence, was already striking toward Jian Xu's head.
Whoosh!
As if not seeing Shi Kong's gigantic fist, Jian Xu's sword lunged like a dragon towards Shi Kong's chest.
