Volume 7 Chapter 79: The Eerie Treasure Hunt (10)

Each Shura Clan member is an incredibly strong and resilient warrior, possessing a body that is almost indestructible. But it is not just their bodies that make them powerful; their innate abilities to control certain types of Spirit Qi and rules of the world can be even stronger in some ways than their physical strength. For example, Li Fulu’s control of ice and Great Brahma’s control of space have caused great trouble for humanity.

However, compared to these abilities, the Shura Clan members prefer and rely on their bodies, which they have constantly refined over thousands of years.

Nevertheless, when their physical power is no longer useful, they do not mind occasionally using their abilities to defeat their enemies.

In this world, among the three thousand magical abilities, there are three main types that are the hardest to understand and practice. Of course, their power is far greater than that of other abilities: space, life, and soul. If a member of the Shura Clan is born with these three types of abilities, they are almost guaranteed to take on the role of a Shura Clan leader, and the representative of this is Great Brahma.

While Chou took pleasure in torturing his opponents with endless Mirage Aura, illusions, and surprise attacks, and gradually began to feel a sense of overconfidence, he did not realize that one of his two opponents, besides Great Brahma, was actually a master of one of the three great abilities.

The continuous control made the tall, thin member of the Shura Clan go mad. A tremendous and terrifying wave of energy spread around him, shaking the entire world. The other Shura Clan member clearly knew what this powerful Shura Clan fighter was about to do. Even when Chou severed one of his arms, he only showed anger, but suddenly grew tense, staying close to the Shura Clan fighter to prevent a surprise attack from Chou.

At the same time, sensing the overwhelming wave of energy, which was stronger and more destructive than he had ever felt, Chou was greatly shocked and instinctively began to retreat. As he moved, the Mirage Aura within several miles also shifted.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The Shura Clan rarely uses their own magical abilities, primarily because they prefer physical combat, but the difficulty of controlling their abilities and the great strain on their bodies is one reason why. Moreover, the power of the abilities they use is far superior to similar ones used by humans.

The intense and raging spatial fluctuations were clearly visible, causing his own figure to become blurred in the distorted space. Suddenly, the terrifying spatial distortion spread out from the powerful Shura Clan fighter, violently extending in all directions. Wherever it went, everything it encountered seemed to be crushed and torn apart by countless divine blades and iron hammers, turning into particles invisible to the naked eye.

The destruction caused by the spatial distortion affects both friends and foes. Meanwhile, the other member of the Shura Clan, who showed no change in expression under Xuan’s numerous sword strikes, now looked rather helpless. Before the spatial distortion spread, endless golden light shone from his body, which then gathered towards his head.

As the tall, thin member of the Shura Clan exerted all his strength, the previously unmovable and unshakeable endless Mirage Aura shattered under the terrifying spatial distortion. Even the Five Elements Spirit Qi of the world was destroyed. Within dozens of miles around this Shura Clan fighter, the Mirage Aura vanished, Spirit Qi was lost, the air disappeared, and clouds and dust turned into nothingness. In an instant, this place transformed into a void. With the power radiating out, many Shura Clan members and Tianyou Camp cultivators in the distance engaged in battle also fell without resistance.

And Chou, unable to escape in time, was engulfed in that endless twisting space. As the Mirage Aura around him faded away, he appeared before the two Shura Clan experts, flesh and blood scattered everywhere, and in an instant, his body transformed into nothingness.

Chou, under the brutal attacks of the angry Shura Clan, seemed to have been killed just like that.

And the Shura Clan member who used the space-warping power was now staring intently at this scene, a gleam of pleasure shining in his eyes as he gasped heavily. Although this attack was nowhere near as powerful as the black hole unleashed by the Great Brahma years ago, it was still the best he could do, putting tremendous strain on his body.

Centered around him, in a radius of nearly a hundred miles, after his strike, he was the only living being left.

The other two visible objects after the space-warping power—one was the head of another Shura Clan member, wrapped in golden light, which now, as the light faded, showed flesh squirming below the neck as the body slowly began to be reborn.

The second object was a jewel resembling an eyeball, quietly floating in the air at the place where Chou had been killed, as if it was the third eye on Chou’s forehead, glowing faintly like it had a life of its own, strangely staring at the Half Shura expert in front of it.

The tall and thin Shura Clan expert gasped for a moment and, upon seeing this eyeball-like object, was momentarily stunned. Space powers might not be as mysterious as soul powers or as strange as life powers, but they were undoubtedly the most powerful. His space powers were among the best, second only to the Great Brahma. With all his might, he could make everything in the world unresistant, while another Shura Clan expert of similar strength could only protect his own head.

What exactly was this eyeball-like gem? How could it remain intact after the space-warping?

Strangely, this peculiar gem had a mysterious attraction for the Shura Clan expert. Feeling a sudden stir in his heart, he became slightly dazed and couldn’t help but fly towards the eyeball-like gem, eager to grab it and take a closer look.

However, just as he flew to the spot where the gem was and reached out to grasp it, he suddenly froze, his hand hovering just an inch away from the strange gem.

This was because, as he got closer, he suddenly sensed a very powerful aura and energy wave hidden within the gem-cold, indifferent, and filled with killing intent, just like the previous Chou.

In an instant, the excitement and daze in his heart completely vanished, replaced by a deep-seated instinctive fear that stirred within him.

"Could there be something strange going on?"

With this thought flashing through his mind, the Shura Clan expert hesitated to approach the mysterious gem and instinctively wanted to pull back.

But what he did not want did not mean it wouldn’t happen.

Just as he was about to withdraw his outstretched hand, the energy within the black eyeball suddenly erupted violently, transforming into a streak of light that shot toward the Shura Clan member, accompanied by thick black mist.

The speed was astonishing, and before he could react, the black eyeball pierced into the chest of the Shura Clan expert, wrapping him in endless black mist.

Not knowing exactly what had happened, the Shura Clan expert, who had never known fear, let out terrifying howls that echoed through the heavens and earth, eerie and distressing.

Another skilled member of the Shura Clan, who was reshaping his body, could barely see through the black mist. Gradually, he noticed that the body of the other Shura Clan expert was becoming plump. After a while, a figure split away and became two figures. One figure struggled violently in the black mist, while the other embraced the first one tightly.

The second figure, tightly holding the first human, had six wings and thirteen sword tails behind it, looking like a demon. Wasn’t this Chou, who was killed before?

Another Shura Clan expert, not caring that his body was not fully reshaped yet, roared and charged into the black mist.

Clearly, that eyeball was the reason for Chou’s resurrection, but this Shura Clan expert believed that after Chou came back to life, his strength must have decreased significantly. In this situation, he thought he might be able to kill him and rescue the other Shura Clan expert.

However, it seemed that Chou had anticipated the movements of this Shura Clan expert. The black mist wrapped around the two figures, slowly retreating into the distance. At the same time, the attacking Shura Clan expert was confronted by countless illusions, poison, cold air, and strong winds appearing out of nowhere, constantly blocking his advance.

Although the black mist moved slowly, the Shura Clan member’s body had only partially recovered, and his limbs had not yet regenerated. With continuous obstacles in front of him, he was unable to close the distance at all. As his companion’s cries grew weaker, the black mist thickened, and Chou’s presence became stronger. It was clear that Chou was regaining strength by devouring his opponent, leaving him with nothing but angry roars to express his rage.

In this battle, the scales of victory began to tilt towards Chou.

However, Chou himself was only aware of his own suffering. His body had been destroyed before, and although he was revived using that strange eyeball and the flesh of the Shura Clan expert, his strength had indeed decreased. He could only invade the body of that Shura Clan expert with the help of that eyeball to continuously consume him without resistance.

But Chou’s injuries were indeed too grave. Even if he absorbed the nearby Shura expert, he would only recover about 70 or 80 percent of his strength, and any increase in power was out of the question.

Before this, if another master from the Shura Clan fully recovered and advanced towards him, he would only have the option of being permanently sealed by the Shura Clan.

Most importantly, Chou could clearly sense countless powerful energies rushing towards the headquarters of the Shura Clan. It was obvious that the Shura Clan members were coming to help because they sensed something was wrong. Given the distance and speed, the main forces of the Shura Clan could arrive at any moment.

He did not have much time left.

However, until he succeeded on the other side, he could not retreat; he could only hold his ground right here.

"What are those two guys doing!?"

As he anxiously faced the Shura Clan master in front of him, Chou let out deep growls, silently thinking.

The "two guys" he referred to were his two senior brothers, Tian Zhenxian and Tian Zhenling, along with their subordinate from Tianzuo Camp.

Chou could not leave until they succeeded in stealing the "Shura Holy Pearl."

However, calling them "two guys" also showed that Chou had little regard for his two senior brothers and gave them no respect at all.

In fact, in the world, Chou respects only Xu Qingfan, and this is because Xu Qingfan created him and is stronger than he is.

And just when Chou rarely felt anxious, at a critical moment, the Tian family brothers also reached a very important time.
