Martial God Asura

Chu Feng had examined the path in the black fog so intently that it took some time before they reached the other end.

The Immemorial Massacre Sea’s true form unfolded before their eyes—ink-black choppy water beneath a sky covered in a dense black aura.

Everything was suffocatingly black as if in hell's entrance.

But the most eye-catching thing here was a stone monument that pierced into the sky. It was clearer than ever now that they had passed through the layer of black fog outside.

This stone monument had a simplistic design, but it astonishingly exuded a stronger aura than the Immemorial Massacre Sea as if it was the dominant force here.

There was nothing inscribed on the stone monument.

Like Chu Feng, the others also examined the stone monument. Everyone who came here harbored dreams of leaving their names on the stone monument.

“Chu Feng, did you discover anything?” Ouyang Kuangfei asked again.

“I can only say that the Immemorial Massacre Sea is likely different from before,” Chu Feng replied. “A piece of advice for everyone. There is nothing more important than our lives, so prioritize self-preservation above all things. I’m not saying that you can’t challenge yourself or take risks, but know your limits. There is a fine line between bravery and foolishness.”

“Agreed.” Ouyang Kuangfei and the other Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s juniors nodded.

“Let’s set off.”

Chu Feng rose into the air and connected everyone with his spirit power before advancing. He even left behind formation guides so that the trailing Ouyang Heavenly Clan could find and catch up with them.

He chose to fly above the water instead of diving into it.

The further he ventured, the more vividly he felt the Immemorial Massacre Sea’s vastness. Cultivators like him traveled at incredible speeds, but the scenery remained unchanged even after flying for a long time.

He didn’t even sense the killing intent Master Nine Zenith had told him about.

Chu Feng’s mother, Jie Ranqing, was one of the few people who safely returned from the Immemorial Massacre Sea.

She reported that one would be crushed by an overwhelming killing intent shortly after entering the Immemorial Massacre Sea, and it would only grow stronger as one ventured deeper into the sea.

This killing intent affected one’s mind. Most people lost control of their bodies the moment they encountered the killing intent.

Jie Ranqing, Jie Tianran, and Jie Mubai had all retreated from the Immemorial Massacre Sea due to the killing intent.

Whoosh!

A red carp that was over a hundred meters long suddenly appeared in the sea ahead. It looked no different from ordinary carp other than its unusually big body.

Its appearance here was perplexing as carp was a freshwater fish. Its presence was extremely conspicuous amidst the black seawater, such that Chu Feng and the others noticed it right away despite being a distance away.

The hundred-meter-long, red carp was heading in their direction.

Chu Feng paused to consider his next move.

“I never heard of such a creature in the Immemorial Massacre Sea. Things are truly different from before.”

Ouyang Kuangfei, Long Chengyu, and the others were also assessing the situation while staying on guard.

With a wave of his sleeves, Chu Feng manifested three glowing tools with his spirit power—a harpoon, a fishing rod, and a net. These three tools were independent formations. ṙ�

He changed his hand seal and drew the sea’s aura into those three tools. The energy was so potent as it caused the glowing tools to turn as black as the seawater.

But Chu Feng had expected this to happen.

By then, the fish was already in the vicinity.

Instead of using the three tools, Chu Feng constructed another formation net with a wave of his sleeves and hurled it at the red carp. This formation net covered a huge area, and it harnessed power comparable to a rank five True Dragon World Spiritist.

Yet, the red carp mysteriously passed right through the formation net, not impeding it at all.

The crowd was shocked. The red carp was even more formidable than they had expected.

How were they supposed to deal with the red carp when such means failed? They wouldn’t be able to retaliate if the red carp attacked them!

While they were worrying, Chu Feng grabbed the harpoon infused with the Massacre Sea’s aura and hurled it out.

The harpoon flew across the air and plunged into the red carp’s body.

The red carp struggled frenziedly, but it was unable to shake off the harpoon.

In the end, it transformed into a fingernail-sized bundle of red light and surged at Chu Feng, fusing into his palm.

The crowd gathered around to take a look. The red carp swam happily in Chu Feng’s palm as if it had become its new home, though it had shrunk till it was smaller than a sesame seed now.

“What’s that?” Ouyang Kuangfei asked.

“I’m not sure yet, but I think it’ll be useful later,” Chu Feng replied.

With a wave of his sleeves, he constructed more fishing equipment out of formations and fused the Massacre Sea’s energy into them, turning them black.

A wave suddenly surged in the distance, bringing with it countless red carp that practically dyed the water red.

“Don’t stand in a daze. Catch as many as you can,” Chu Feng urged.

The crowd quickly picked a fishing equipment before charging at the army of red carp.

They thought it would be easy after witnessing how Chu Feng easily subdued a red carp earlier, but now that they were doing it themselves, they realized it was nowhere as easy as it seemed.

The red carp were far smarter and more agile than they had expected.

However, there was one person who performed on par with Chu Feng—Little Fishy.

The others dared not enter the sea, but Little Fishy didn’t hesitate to weave through the water, maneuvering even more adeptly than the red carp.

While others were cursing in anger and annoyance, Little Fishy let out excited and cheerful squeals.

Even though her voice and appearance were different, Chu Feng suddenly remembered how she dashed toward the Eastern Sea Region back then. The rush of memories brought a smile to his face.

Time had passed, but he still had old friends by his side. That left him with a wondrous feeling.

“Big brother, stop daydreaming. Let’s compete to see who can catch more!” Little Fishy said.

“It’s on.” Chu Feng smiled before continuing his hunt.

He soon realized there was a limit to the number of red carp he could store in his two palms, and he couldn’t pass the red carp he had hunted to others. There was no point hunting more, so he decided to take a rest.

Whoosh!

A pillar of water rose from the sea beneath Chu Feng. Little Fishy emerged from the water pillar and went up to him.

“Look, big brother!”

Little Fishy cheerily opened her palms to show the schools of fish swimming inside.

“No mercy for your brethren too?” Chu Feng teased.

“They are formations,” Little Fishy replied.

She placed one of her hands behind her back and pulled out a palm-sized, seven-colored coral.

“I found this in the Immemorial Massacre Sea. It doesn’t harness any energy, but its seven colors remind me of the Seven Spiritual Worlds. Here, I’ll give it to you.”

“Thank you.” Chu Feng accepted the gift and carefully stowed it away. “Here’s my return gift.”

He took out a blue pendant with a flick of his wrist.

“Waa! It’s beautiful. Big brother, are you giving it to me?” Little Fishy asked in delight.

“Who else? Come, I’ll help you put it on.”

Chu Feng helped Little Fishy put the pendant on.

“It’s gorgeous!” Little Fishy loved her gift so much that she couldn’t keep her hands off it.

Looking at Little Fishy’s sweet smile, Chu Feng suddenly asked via voice transmission, “Little Fishy, is there something on your mind?”

Little Fishy was taken aback.

“There is something weighing on your mind, isn’t it?”

Chu Feng noticed something off with Little Fishy even though she was as vibrant as usual. While her current vibrancy was genuine to some degree, it seemed to also double as a cover to conceal something.

“Not at all.” Little Fishy blinked her eyes innocently as Chu Feng. “Big brother, what’s with the sudden question?”

Instead of explaining the rationale, Chu Feng replied with a warm smile, “You have to tell me if there is something on your mind.”

Little Fishy’s expression flickered. She suddenly asked with a serious face, “Big brother, will you protect me if I’m in trouble?”

“I will.”

“What if the enemy is very powerful?”

“Doesn’t make a difference.”

“But you could die.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chu Feng chuckled before looking at her with a warm smile. “I won’t let you die.”

Little Fishy laughed too. She replied with a gentle smile, “I won’t let big brother die too.”
