The Fist Emperor frowned and said, “The Empire wants to wipe out all the factions. If I kill Fang Xingjian now, your father will probably make me his target immediately.
“Moreover, if you want to seek vengeance, then you should work hard cultivating by yourself. What’s the point in relying on my power?”
The Fifth Prince lowered his head. Thinking of how Fang Xingjian was wearing his armor, standing at the top while continuing to grow stronger, even becoming capable of fighting against a Divine level expert… The pain the Fifth Prince felt in his heart was so intense that it felt as if ten thousands of ants were biting him.
He looked at the Fist Emperor and said, “Then how about this. Brother, please let me train in the Asura Way with you.”
The Asura Way was a terrifying Killing technique which the Fist Emperor cultivated. It was also a martial path that was brutal toward the enemy and even more brutal toward the practitioner.
“The tiger eats the sheep, the sheep eats the grass, the grass absorbs all the nutrients of the world. The intrinsic nature of the world is brutal. To be able to understand and know brutality, to be brutal toward your enemy and toward yourself… To absorb nutrients from brutality and comprehend the balance of the world… This is the Asura Way.”
The Fist Emperor said in a deep voice, “When a person is in pain, their potential will be stimulated. An injured wild beast is even more vicious. One can experience rapid progress in the Asura Way, but the stimulated growth in cultivation is one that stems from the body’s instincts toward pain and brutality. It brings about great damage to the body and the mind. Are you sure that you want to do this?”
“Yes,” the Fifth Prince said, “If I don’t kill Fang Xingjian… If I don’t crush him completely with my power and surpass him, I might as well be dead.”
…
Fang Xingjian still did not know of the various changes that were currently occurring within the Empire. After spending some time studying the temple at the entrance, both he and the Fourth Prince affirmed that someone had already entered it before them.
“It seems like there really are other people who have also received the legacy of the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor,” the Fourth Prince said, with his countenance turning a little grim. “We must be even more careful when we enter.”
“We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it,” Fang Xingjian said and then looked at the marks outside the door. “The marks disappear at the entrance. It seems that once you enter through the doors, unforeseen circumstances may occur..”
The Fourth Prince nodded and said, “The Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor from 5,000 years ago was a powerful figure who ruled over the world and led mankind against the fifth onslaught. His Divine level cultivation had probably reached level 35, 36, 37, or even higher. He probably had the powerful abilities to control time and space, as well to create an alternate space.
“The Hades Vault he created probably doesn’t exist in this world. Instead, it exists in the time and space which he created.”
Fang Xingjian nodded, looked at the door in front of them, and said, “Then let’s go.”
The two of them were on their guard, preparing the powers in their bodies as they walked toward the door.
At the next instant, Fang Xingjian and the Fourth Prince both entered through the door to the temple at the same time. The moment they passed through the doors, the scenery before them changed, and it was as if both time and space had been put through a series of distortions. When they took another look, they had already arrived at an extremely wide and spacious sky.
The entire sky was filled with thunderbolts, strong gales, and an endless stretch of tempest.
The two of them were slightly stunned to suddenly appear amidst the tempest. However, at the next moment, both of them activated their specialty seeds and stepped into void space, using the backlashing forces to stabilize themselves.
“Hmm?” Fang Xingjian frowned as streams of electricity flashed all over his entire body. “I feel there’s an invisible force that keeps on tugging at the physical particles in my body, wanting to absorb me into the ground.”
The Fourth Prince’s body was also flashing with electricity as he continued to strengthen the power of the physical particles in his body. He then lowered his head to look at the layers of strong gales and thunderbolts under his feet.
“There’s a force that keeps on disintegrating everything physical and then absorbing the from somewhere under our feet.” A hint of astonishment flashed in the Fourth Prince’s eyes. “It’s said that powerful Divine level experts can distort time and space. How big is this Hades Vault that the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor created?”
