Chapter 283 – Shura’s Past
Xu Yang and the Empress clearly had their souls throbbing for a moment.
Tuoba Yun’s appearance had been enough to explain many of the doubts, but the image continued.
Within the curtain of light, beside Tuoba Yun stood a dozen or so of Northern Jin’s unearthly experts, almost every one of them had rusty faces with white hair, the very same Northern Jin’s true cultivation community underpinnings that he had poured out to bring with him this time!
All of these old men stood on both sides of Tuoba Yun, personally protecting him, and in front of Tuoba Yun at the very front, a blood-red tombstone, vaguely releasing an incomparably terrifying blood-colored light flame.
Although this was a repetition of the scene evolved by the Great Sumeru Dao, and it was impossible to feel the true fluctuation of that power’s aura, even with the eyes, it was not difficult to see how terrifying this blood-colored power really was!
Xu Yang and the others were almost able to determine that the awakening of this mysterious force was the true source of that stone-cold roar in the parallel dimension where they were.
Sure enough!
After the power in that tombstone was released, it was all transferred into his body by Tuoba Yun in a special way.
Throughout the entire viewing process, everyone else was merely surprised, except for the Sword Soul who knew what it all meant, and whose pupils released the color of panic.
The power that could make the sword soul of a dragonslayer’s sword feel fear was perhaps only of that degree ……
During the process of the blood-colored power inheritance, Tuoba Yun laughed recklessly and crazily, and that look was the same as Tuoba Hong’s near-demonic appearance after he had cast the Loxian Gate!
Immediately afterward, channels of black qi overflowed from his body to the surroundings.
At the same time, these black qi covered the dozen or so old guys behind him, seemingly causing each one’s state to change slightly.
Without waiting to see the whole process completely carefully, this light curtain in the sky of the illusion began to rapidly dim, and eventually disappeared completely ……
That’s right, Xu Yang and the Empress’ spiritual energy had already been exhausted.
Under the guardianship of the Ancestral Dragon Soul, both of their souls were unharmed, but with this near-overdraft depletion, it would take at least a few days of sleep to recover.
The others who were helping out together had far less mental strength than Xu Yang and the two of them, and after completing the deduction of the Great Sumeru Dao, all of them fell into a deep slumber, with Taotie guarding everyone’s side noiselessly.
It wasn’t until three days later, except for Little Tuan Duan that girl who was still young and hadn’t awakened, everyone else woke up one after another.
”Unexpectedly, the consumption of this Great Sumeru Dao is so astonishing, but the effect of the gong method is also truly heaven-defying, to be able to help us peek into the past, this in itself is heaven-defying.”
Xu Yang was very satisfied with this spell casting, and it also allowed his spiritual power to improve even further, and the soul fit between him and the Empress also became even higher.
”Sword Soul, help us decipher what we’ve observed, I felt your emotional fluctuations within the illusion of the Great Sumeru Dao, which surprised me greatly.”
Xu Yang glanced at the Sword Soul with a wry smile, having long since realized that the observation must be a stone-cold important clue!
”Alas ……
I can responsibly tell you guys that this time, you’re going to be out of luck.
It’s because what you have observed is related to the legendary power of Shura.”
”It’s the Shura Dao again!
Tuoba Hong is the one who created too many dangers for us with this lineage.”
Xu Yang lamented a wave of emotions, but was immediately interrupted by the Sword Spirit.
”No, it’s not the Shura Dao, but the ……
the power of the true Shura principal!”
”What did you say?
?”
The crowd was shocked and scurried up, gazing daggers at the Sword Soul.
”Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a great calamity occurred in the Three Thousand Daos State, and the legacy of the Ancient Desolate Dynasty lineage was destroyed as a result.
You guys should have already experienced these things in the Ancient Desolate Emperor Tomb.
The world thought that the destruction of the Ancient Desolate Dynasty was the result of a natural disaster coming down, but in reality, it wasn’t like that at all, rather, it was because of an incomparably powerful Gai Shi Heavenly Pride, who had completed his tribulation within the territory of the Ancient Desolate Dynasty, triggering the so-called heavenly disaster, and in a single night, the foundations of the huge dynasty were destroyed, and the person who had caused that tribulation in the first place, was Xiu Luo.”
Hearing all this, Long Kun Ling Yao and the others from Xu Yang’s team, all subconsciously looked towards the small group that was sleeping in Xu Yang’s arms, with a trace of sadness and sympathy in their eyes.
”So that’s how it is ……
The tribulation that you are talking about, should be the tribulation of ascension that breaks through that final hurdle of the Extreme Realm of Man?”
The Sword Spirit nodded, “Yes.
This person, Shura, was known as the continent’s most mysterious and terrifying demon hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Because this person either did not appear, as long as he appeared, he never left any survivors wherever he passed, and did his best to slaughter everything by means of extermination.
And those who were slaughtered by him, their souls will also be manipulated by him after death, continuing to endure his servitude.”
Xu Yang and the Empress glanced at each other, what the Sword Soul had described was exactly the same as the scene in which they had confronted Tuoba Hong before.
”So, the Cultivation Dao that that madman Tuoba Hong inherited is the technique created by that Cultivator back then?”
”Not bad.
The people who inherited this lineage of gong method are all the most terrifying devils in the world, and that year’s Ghost Shadow Cultivator lineage was also put to death by the continent’s group due to its vicious killing reputation, and then it inexplicably disappeared from the continent and fled to the East China Sea.
After the death of Tuoba Hong, this brother of his, Tuoba Yun, should also be the only successor of the Shura Dao.
And the scene we deduced in the Great Sumeru Dao was a reflection of him inheriting the mantle of Shura!
If my judgment is correct, the inheritance method of the Shura Dao is very special, similar to the inheritance of bloodline sacrifice, capable of instantly pushing the successor’s strength to the peak.
The current Tuoba Yun should already be at the peak of the Transitional Tribulation or even the Great Perfection realm.”
After listening for half a day, this was the key that worried Team Xu Yang the most.
As an immortal arch-enemy, Tuoba Yun had now ascended to the heavens in one step, and had still inherited that most terrifying power of the Shura, which was somewhat troublesome.
”It seems that we really have to prepare for a fight to the death next.
Tuoba Yun took a step to heaven and inherited the mantle of Cultivator within this Burial Cultivation Mound, even if he is not in a hurry to look for the three major mediums leading to the Qilin Mountain, he is perfectly capable of waiting for a rabbit and aiming his spearhead at us first!”
Long Kun lamented helplessly.
But even so, he had never regretted getting on the train that was Team Xu Yang.
For Long Kun, being able to follow Xu Yang was his greatest fortune in this life.
Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but sweep his gaze towards the Sword Soul: “If those undead souls were released by Tuoba Yun, with his current cultivation, he could have just come straight to the door to lay his hands on us, so why did he hesitate to show himself?”
”That’s because, the power of the Cultivator that he inherited is still incomplete.
And, there is a more important reason, which is that after he completes this, he will be summoned by the Soul of Shura!
At this time, he should already be on his way to find the Shura Soul.”
