Legend of the Asura

Feng Xiao’s teeth cracked. Being stranded here for no reason for ten years, no one would be calm towards the one who did it.

“He, he……Child, control your feelings and slowly close your eyes. Don’t believe your own feelings and let your heart feel for you……You will find……that everything you experienced was just an illusion……”

Illusion?

The old and calm voice was like a warm wind that blew across his mind, which made his body that seemed like it was boiling completely calm down. He followed his words and slowly closed his eyes, as if these words were like magic. After taking a few breaths, his heart became as calm as still water.

Ten years……Ten months……Ten days……Ten hours……Ten minutes……Ten seconds……

Ten years……Ten seconds……

His eyes suddenly opened and there was no longer the same pain and confusion as before. In that moment, the ten years of sadness, torture, and despair completely disappeared. His memories, he clearly remembered the moment that Shui Cang Qiong sent him here.

That pain that lasted for ten years didn’t remain at all in his heart.

“Do you understand?”

“Yes.” Feng Xiao looked up, “I understand, ten years was only ten seconds. In those ten seconds, I have only gone forward ten meters!”

“He, he, he, he……”

The heavy laughter calmly rang out again. The voice was filled with joy.

“You are called Bai Ren? Why did you bring me here?” Feng Xiao said in a doubtful voice.

Bai Ren? Why did this name sound a bit familiar?

The old voice didn’t answer his question and vaguely said, “This place is the end of space and time. It was destiny that brought you here.”

“The end of space and time? What kind of a place is this?” Feng Xiao looked at the white space around him. It was this space that had made ten seconds seem like ten years.

“This space……is on your body.”

“My body?” Feng Xiao was surprised. He lowered his head to think as he raised his hands.

The Sealed Ring of Time on his right hand and the Sealed Ring of Space on his left hand……they had actually disappeared!

“That’s right……You’ve already realized that this is the space inside of your two rings. I have already existed here for a long time……Waiting for the day that you would have the ability to come in here.”

“Who are you? Why were you waiting for me?” Feng Xiao asked in a doubtful voice.

It was another person waiting for him. Just what role did he have here? What role did the Purple Lightning Qilin that gave him these rings have? Also Shui Cang Qiong…..and the Heavenly Dragon Goddess!

Why did everything that he encountered lately point at him!

“You are the second one to have the Chaotic Body after the ancient god Pangu. You can fuse the seven natural elements and the three destiny elements of the humans, as well as the only hope of the three realms……When your ability is strong enough, destiny will bring you here and open the power that belongs to you……”

Power that belongs to me? Chaotic Body? Led by destiny? Hope of the three realms?

As if he didn’t see the confusion on Feng Xiao’s face, the old voice continued, “Your seven natural elemental energy and three destiny elements have already awakened. At most, in a thousand years, you would have the power of space and time…..but we can’t wait for that any longer. I came now to open up the power of space and time for you!”

Si~~~

Without giving Feng Xiao time to react, the endless white light around him suddenly became much brighter, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open. The white energy gathered after a short time and wildly started entering his body.

One minute……

Two minutes……

……

Five minutes……

The energy seemed like it was endless. Feng Xiao gritted his teeth as he endured and only after five minutes did the surging energy gradually stop.

Opening his eyes, he found that the space in front of him was still white, but it was a bit dimmer. The endless world was showing signs of dimming.

“He, he……It went much smoother than I imagined.”

Old man Bai Ren’s voice slowly rang out, but Feng Xiao could clearly hear that there was a weak and exhausted tone to it.

“My mission……is finally complete. You have already become the second person that I’ve seen that can use the power of space and time. Although it was forcefully opened, it will slowly grow as your ability grows……”

Feng Xiao raised his hands. It was still the Asura’s Reverse Scales without the rings and he didn’t feel any different. He didn’t feel anything different from his entire body.

“Hu……Child, my life energy will dissipate soon and the flow of time will speed up…..I know that you have many questions, so before my life ends, I will tell you everything that I can tell you……This is the last thing I can do to help you.”

The weak sound made one easily think of an old man in his last moments. Feng Xiao felt that his life energy was already quickly dissipating.

His questions……there were too many of them. He didn’t know what to ask for some time.

“Who is the first one that could use the power of space and time?” Feng Xiao suddenly asked. He really wanted to know the answer to this question.

“You have asked a very good question.” Old man Bai Ren’s voice was very faint, “You, have you heard about the war of gods and demons in the heaven realm?”

War of gods and demons……It had been a long time since this had been mentioned. Other than Xuanyuan Wan’er mentioning it when they first met, he normally evaded this. Although he unknowingly thought about it, he never mentioned it.

Playing back the memories, Feng Xiao slowly said, “Fifty thousand years ago, when the Buddha purified himself, the Demon Monarch led the demon race down from the sky and attacked the Buddha. They slaughtered through the divine realm and caused heavy casualties, which haven’t been recovered from. In the end, the Demon Monarch was sealed by the ‘God Executing Array’ forcefully formed with the ‘Lost Array’ and the demon race disappeared.”

“That’s right……Heavy casualties that haven’t been recovered from……”

The old voice had a trace of sadness and pain, but it quickly recovered its calm, “What you should know should be what she told you……But was it really fifty thousand years ago?”

She? Could he be talking about Wan’er?

“Wasn’t it fifty thousand years ago?” Feng Xiao knitted his brows as he asked this. Time was something that he always doubted. The Xuanyuan Sword was born five thousand years ago, but the Xuanyuan Sword had been in the war of gods and demons fifty thousand years ago…..Could it be that Xuanyuan Wan’er made a mistake with her own time?

“You should know……a day in the heavens is a year on the ground.”

Feng Xiao nodded. This was a legend that everyone knew.

Old man Bai Ren gave a heavy sigh and his voice was filled with sadness that couldn’t be hidden, “But the moment that the Demon Monarch was sealed, it all changed……From that moment, one day in the human world was a year in the heavens……”

One day in the human world was a year in the heavens!?

Feng Xiao’s expression froze before he knitted his brows to ask, “Why did it become like this? Could it be that the God Executing Array changed the laws of the world?”

“No……It was a Forbidden Spell, a terrifying Time Forbidden Spell! The Demon Monarch knew his fate the moment that the God Executing Array was activated, so he used all of his strength to use the terrifying ultimate Time Forbidden Spell ‘Reversing Yin and Yang’. It reversed the time difference between heaven and earth! From that moment, a day on earth was a year in the heavens!”

A feeling of loss, pain, unwillingness, and many other negative moods came out. Each word created a heavy shock on Feng Xiao.

“What!? Reversing the time difference between……heaven and earth?” Feng Xiao was stunned. How could there be this kind of heaven defying ability? If it was all true, just what kind of shocking scene, just what kind of power was this?

Ultimate Forbidden Spell……This was the might of the Ultimate Forbidden Spell that was even on a higher level than High Forbidden Spells!

A day in the human world was a year in the heavens. Based on this, the fifty thousand years in the heavens was only one hundred and thirty seven years in the human world! This meant that the battle between gods and demons was only one hundred and thirty seven years ago by the human world time.

The doubt that had been in Feng Xiao’s heart the entire time had been solved, but there was a shock that wouldn’t fade that was imprinted in his heart.

“This means that the Demon Monarch was the first person you’ve seen who could use the power of space and time?” Feng Xiao took a deep breath before slowly asking this, “Moreover, if my guesses aren’t wrong, the Demon Monarch must have used a powerful Space Forbidden Spell when he left the demons to attack the ‘purifying ceremony’.”

“That’s right! Everything you said is correct. All of this made us realize just how terrifying space and time magic is……”

“So, you found a way to seal the power of space and time into these two rings. You found someone that could control the power of space and time to inherit these powers.”

Bai Ren’s voice stopped before he slowly said, “You really are smart. Whether it is your heart or your mind, you are far beyond a normal person. It’s no wonder you were able to endure the trial of ten years of loneliness.”
