The Asura Immortal Asuras

CHAPTER 21: 21

Chapter 21: 21

An evil aura swept over him with a threatening intensity that would drive him crazy. If the aura outside the door could be described as a stream, then inside was a river.

John fell to the ground and grabbed his head. Murmurs endlessly echoed in his mind. Murmurs encourage him to kill, plunder, defile, destroy. The mutter echoed nonstop, almost driving John crazy. It was only after a long struggle that John was able to calm himself down a little and gather his wits.

Although John still felt as if he was in an endless pit of hell, he could now manage, if not with a hard struggle.

After spending a long time adjusting to the terrible environment, John finally stood up and established himself. Although this place was the scariest place John had ever visited, he could also feel his will being forged and strengthened. The constant resistance of the destructive energy in this place was like a grindstone, constantly honing its will.

“Maybe this terrible environment can really be used to my advantage” thought John.

John calmed himself down before venturing further into the darkness. A faint reddish light illuminated the passageway in front of him. A few minutes later, the hallway ended and a large room appeared.

The room was shrouded in deep red, and was designed exactly the same as the large room he had just come to. Large black pillars adorned the inside, and John could barely see the large pitch-black gate at the opposite end of the room, similar to the large white gate in the previous room.

Sighing heavily, John stared at the scene in front of him. He calmed himself down once more before walking forward towards the huge black gate. After walking for a few minutes, John arrived at the front gate. The gate was thousands of feet high and wide, and was covered by ten huge pitch-black chains. Each link was tens of feet thick. A sinister aura seemed to flow out from the gate.

An evil aura seemed to come from behind this gate, John thought as he looked at him.

“What could possibly give off such an aura?” john thought as he stared at the gate. Because it was this close to the gate, John could barely keep his wits about him. Even with the help of holy blood, John constantly struggles to maintain his sanity.

Unlike the previous room, there was no translucent ball in the air in front of the gate. John stared at the gate for some time before walking right in front of him. Ten large chains swirled around the gate, but they were all embedded at one end at the base of the gate. Walking into the chain, John reached out and touched one of them.

“About!”

A metallic sound rang out and filled the hall. Startled, John hurriedly retreated while staring at the gate. To his surprise, the chains he had just touched began to shatter into pieces before finally crumbling, metal dust scattering out.

“What did I just do?” john thought as he looked at the large chain in front of him crumbling. Just as his chain shattered, the evil aura emanating from the gate increased tenfold.

“AHHHH!”

John shouted once more as he held his head. The previous mutter reappeared in his mind, filling it with all sorts of evil thoughts. Again, John thought he was going crazy. He felt as if ten thousand needles were piercing his skull.

As if sensing the doom John was about to face, the holy blood exuded its power, smothering and calming the evil thoughts raging in John's mind. Though much worse than before the chain collapsed, John could barely hold on mentally and stabilize himself. He still felt like a needle was piercing into his brain.

John took a deep breath and heaved a heavy sigh. Looking towards the gate in horror, John hurriedly retreated.

“This fetish. I'm out of here” shouted John.

As he rushed towards the exit of the room, John saw something from the corner of his eye.

“What is it?”

On one side of the room stood an altar. It was pitch-black, and was raised on a small stage. That's about a thousand feet from the exit. Gritting his teeth, John calmed down once more and walked to the altar.

“My curiosity will really get me killed someday” thought John.

After stepping on the elevated platform and walking around to face the altar, John was shocked to find a book lying on it. The book was tied with a pitch-black cover. On the cover were words carved inside, but it was in a language that John did not understand. Although John did not understand the language, for some reason he felt it was familiar.

“What is this?” thought John. After his previous experience with chains, John hesitated to touch anything. He stared at the book for some time, but could not understand anything written on the cover. The aura left in the room threatens to drive John crazy, and he knows he can't stay there any longer.

“Damn it, I was really stupid until recently, I better continue that trend” thought John while reaching out to pick up the book. As soon as his hand touched the book, pain struck John's brain as he felt a flood of information fill it. John clutched his head while the pain continued. But unlike before, this was just ordinary pain and not a pain that threatened to kill him.

After a few seconds of intense pain, the information stopped spreading and John once again returned to normal.

Looking back at the book, though,

“Immortal Asura Body” read front cover.

“The dominating-sounding name,” thought John while staring at the book. Although he was curious about the contents, John could barely contain the evil aura that threatened to drive him crazy.

Making a quick decision, John picked up the book and started running towards the exit. Moments later, John ran out of the door he had previously entered and collapsed on the ground.

“Fiuh!”

John gasped for breath as he slowly recovered. After nearly an hour of stabilizing himself, John was finally able to remove the vile murmur left behind from his head.

“What place is” thought John while shivering. The evil aura inside there was unlike anything he thought could exist. It was as if every evil thought that had ever existed was present in that place.

John looked at the book in his hand. “I will read this book after I leave this place. For now, I just want to get out of here.”

John was just about to send his heavenly feelings out of this place like the last time he left when he stopped.

“The previous room was the exact mirror of this room. If the room has an altar and a book, I wonder if this room also has something” John thought. Turning to the side that would house the altar, John managed to find another small altar about a thousand feet away.

John walked up to the altar, which was an exact copy of the previous one unless it was pure white. On the altar was another book. The cover is a mixture of blue, purple, and white.

“Celestial Lightning Script” read the cover.

Another name that dominates John's mind. John took the book too. After looking through the rest of the large room, John found nothing. He then turned towards the large white gate.

Based on his experience with the previous room, John thought that he might as well touch one of the chains in this room as well. While the gate in the other room gave off a vile and sinister aura, the gate in this room did not emit anything but chastity.

“I strongly doubt that something this sacred will be something bad” thought John while walking into one of the chains. He paused for a moment before extending a hand and touching it.

“About!”

Another metallic sound rang out as the chains began to collapse, finally breaking into nothingness. The holy aura emanating from behind the door intensified. John felt his soul was being cleansed as a holy aura swept over him.

“I can really feel my soul being cleansed and strengthened a little” exclaimed John in shock. From what he knew, it strengthened the soul extremely hard. Other than some incredible rare medicinal herbs, one could only improve the soul by increasing their cultivation level. John had never heard anything as simple as an aura that strengthened the soul.

“This place is getting mysterious. If nothing else, these two rooms would be very beneficial to resist the urge and strengthen my soul.

After basking in the holy aura for some time, John reached out and touched the other chains.

“Hah? None?”

Although John had touched the chain, nothing happened this time. John proceeded to touch all the other chains, but nothing happened.

“Any,” thought John while staring at that huge gate.

John moved away from the large gate and explored the rest of the large room, but could not find anything else interesting.

“Time to go, I guess” thought John as he sent his heavenly feelings out.

A dark cave appears in front of John once again as he returns to the real world.
