Ascension Of The Immortal Asura-Novel

“The Jade Dragon Emperor!?!?” the Ancient Elder, Monster King, and Barbarian Warchief cried out in unison, almost unable to believe what they were hearing.

The Jade Dragon Emperor was a legend of the ancient world, and his power and prestige had reached a mythical level. He was said to be the strongest cultivator the world had ever known, but had perished in the ancient calamity that had nearly destroyed the world.

However, the Asura’s words indicated quite the opposite, that he was still alive and standing before them.

“DIE!” the Jade Dragon Emperor roared as his body flashed forward once more, appearing before the four figures in an instant. His battle axe cleaved out towards them, its power beyond anything the world had seen for over one hundred thousand years.

It was as if the world was truly ending._.

…

“Amazing!” a youth cried out in pure excitement as he plucked a fruit from a tree before him. The fruit’s lustrous sheen glowed brightly, while it gave off an incredibly refreshing and sweet aroma.

“Congratulations, William!” several nearby youths exclaimed, somewhat envious but still excited for their fellow sect member. The group of five youths all belonged to the same sect, and the leader of the group, William, was a member of the Jade Dragon List. He was ranked two hundred and sixty eight, and had guided his fellow members safely through the Heaven Tribulation trial lands.

After getting through alive, they had arrived in the final area of the Jade Dragon Empire trial lands, which appeared to be something akin to a sprawling paradise. Verdurous valleys, awe-inspiring waterfalls, picturesque mountain ranges, sprawling prairies, and vibrant forests covered the land, making it truly look like paradise. It was one of the most beautiful lands the youths had ever seen, and it had been untouched for millennia, and some parts even hundreds of thousands of years.

In a land as vibrant as this, a plethora of heavenly treasures such as fruits, medicinal herbs, elemental veins, and other natural marvels had appeared, and had yet to be claimed by anyone. It was as if the final land of the realm was a land of pure treasures, rewards given for getting this far.

There were even trials similar to the ones that had appeared before, and the rewards from the trials were beyond imagining. More heavenly treasures, ancient weapons, battle arts, and more were available, making everyone explore the land with the greatest level of excitement and passion.

The land was also free of any beasts, as if it were saying that the youths within would be the final tests, each youth needing to claim the rewards over the others. However, with the relatively harmonious nature of the Honorable Alliance, bloodshed was very minimal, as the opportunities were aplenty.

The final area stretched one thousand miles wide and over a thousand miles deep, and so the opportunities were truly beyond counting. The group of youths had stumbled upon this fruit almost immediately after leaving the previous realm, and so they could only imagine what laid ahead of them.

“Thanks!” William replied as he inspected the fruit in his hand, the smile on his face stretching from ear to ear. He could tell the fruit was truly incredible, and would help bolster his cultivation base to a new level once consumed.

“Don’t worry, we’ll find a heavenly opportunity for all of you,” William said as his gaze shifted to his fellow sect members. “I won’t be stingy.”

“Thank you!” they all replied happily, as with his help, that was basically a guarantee.

“You may not be stingy, but I am,” a calm voice sounded out behind the youths. Despite the voice sounding calm, the youths all felt a shiver crawl up their spine, as they could instinctively feel the murderous bloodlust naturally emanating from the person behind them.

“Who are you?” William said as his gaze locked onto a lone female who was walking towards them. He did not recognize her at all, and he should, given that her cultivation was in the Half-Step Dao Transformation Realm. Her blood red hair flowed down over her shoulders, lining her sharp yet beautiful face, and her blood red dress only added to that terrifying beauty. Her eyes locked onto the fruit in William’s hand, a look of greed appearing within.

“Amber Bloodrose,” she replied without hiding anything. William’s face, as well as the other youths all opened their mouths wide, while pure fear appeared in their eyes. They didn’t know how it was possible, but they could tell that she was truly who she was claiming to be.

A look of pure ecstasy appeared in Amber’s eyes as she gazed at the expression of pure fear before her, as if it gave her the greatest pleasure in the world.

Her sword suddenly slashed out without any warning at all, too fast for any of them to react, William included. In a single stroke, the heads of all the youths tumbled off their necks, while blood spurted out with incredible force.

Amber caught William’s head, her gaze of ecstasy staring closely at the look of fear frozen on his now severed head.

A groan of pleasure escaped her mouth, and her tongue moved forward and licked a small drop of blood that lingered on Williams’ cheek. Her eyes rolled back slightly and her malicious smile widened as if his blood was the sweetest nectar.

“Such a beautiful shade of red!” she exclaimed as she gazed at the blood of the youths staining the ground beneath her feet. She marveled at the sight of the blood for some time, before she reached over to William’s felled corpse and plucked the fruit from his hand.

Crunch!

Her pearly-white teeth bit deeply into the fruit as she started to casually consume it. Her eyes lit up once more as the fruit was truly marvelous, and her malicious smile widened as she started to walk away from the scene of carnage; the bottom of her blood stained dress painting the ground behind her with a trail of blood.
