Chapter 145 CHAPTER 144 : Meeting An Asura!
A mile deep inside the lake, Joey was currently diving down at a high speed. As he swam, he passed by many blood-sirens. But, as he went deeper, the auras he felt from them became stronger and stronger.
When he dived down for three miles, suddenly the color of the liquid changed into colorless.
"Hmm, this is water." Joey thought.
Then he saw a large number of multiple red lines moving upward from underneath.
"Boy, we are about to reach the bottom. Go on, I am starting to fill the presence of a strong expert." Ai long said.
Joey kept diving down at high speed. And he finally reached the bottom of the lake. On the bed of the lake, he saw something incredible. There were eight long pillars made from some unknown material. Eight long chains were attached to each of the pillars and strapped up a very skinny man with a white long beard and long hair. He had dark skin. The most eye-catching was the ember red horns on his forehead. The pair of horns looked like they were burning continuously. Also, golden blood bled out continuously from his stomach and the wounds on his legs and hands.
"Elder Sister Ai Long, do you figure out which race he belongs to?" Joey asked in his mind.
" Interesting. Boy, that guy is from the Asura race. Be careful! Don't fall for his trickery and illusions. Always keep your mind and consciousness checked while dealing with him." Ai Long warned him.
Clank! Clank! Clank! (Sound of chains)
The scrawny old man managed to look at Joey with his red eyes.
"Fi-nally, some-one is here. Boy, who are y-ou?" A hoarse voice spoke out at him. His voice was like that as it was the first time he spoke after a long time.
"Senior I am Joey. I happen to come to this place out of pure coincidence. " Joey cupped his hand and replied politely. Then he asked, "Why are you chained?"
"Boy, I am called Li Huang and belong to the asura clan from the Asura realm. During at the time of the 99th immortal war, I was sent here to fight them. But, look at me now." He spoke and introduced himself.
"The 99th immortal war!" Joey said with astonishment.
"Boy, let's make a deal. Release me and I will give you my asura's best cultivation techniques and some precious treasures to you." Li Huang finally said.
"Senior Huang, I am just a punny cultivator. This sealing technique seems to be a real deal. So, I can't really help you. " Joey replied.
"Young Master Joey, just follow my instruction and you can easily release these chains." Li Huang said.
"Senior Huang, sorry. I can't really help you." Joey said again with a grin this time.
"Boy, then don't blame me for my ruthlessness. Asura soul projection, activate!" Li Huang shouted. Then a purple color soul that looked exactly like him came out of his forehead and entered Joey's soul sea through his forehead.
This time, the purple color soul in the shape of that man easily entered Joey's soul sea. Inside, Joey was currently sitting on a small boat while fishing with his angling rod and line.
Just when the soul of the old man reached near him, Joey caught a golden carp from his soul sea. Then he turned toward the old man with a wide grin and said, "Senior Huang, what do think I will do with you? Heeheehee, now that You have finally started showing your true color. I will also stop showing my courtesy to you further."
"Boy, quickly surrender yourself and I will make it less painful. Otherwise, I will show you today the wraith of Asura." The old man threatened him.
"Senior Huang, then, what are you waiting for?" Joey replied mockingly.
The old man frowned slightly. Then he started chanting a spell in his Asura language and shouted," One-thousand ghosts of the netherworld, come and torment his soul."
Then suddenly, black mists started appearing in the shape of different deform human shapes. Indeed they looked horrifying. They kept wailing at a high-frequency tone. And they quickly approached Joey.
"Hahaha, what a joke! " Joey laughed loudly. Then he chanted a spell in Sankrit and shouted, "Tier- 5 Agni Astra, come!" (Agni Astra meaning fire weapon)
A red color arrow appeared on his right hand. Then the tips of the arrow started burning rapidly. After that Joey ran toward the black mists ghosts. Then he stabbed at them one by one, burning them all.
All the ghosts continued shrieking and were all burnt to death.
Joey then looked at the old man with a grin.
At the same time, the Azure Dragon root that was currently slumbering inside his heart was drooling while sleeping. Then it suddenly opened its eyes and started sniffing continuously.
"Boy, you have some means. But, this time I will take out your soul and burn it in the deepest fiery pit of the netherworld. " The old man spoke angrily. Then he started channeling another spell. But before he finished, suddenly a loud roar of a dragon echoed inside the soul sea.
The spell was disrupted and failed. At the same time, an Azure Dragon appeared in the air just above the soul sea.
It looked at the old man formed by the soul greedily. It started drooling.
When it stared at him like delicious food, the old man suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger.
"Boy, what is it?" He asked.
"Senior Huang, that is my dragon heart root," Joey said. Then he asked, "Can you guess what kind of Dragon species it is?"
Li Huang didn't reply. But, he kept thinking from his memories.
"Alright, I will tell you. My Dragon heart root is also called the Legendary Soul Devouring Dragon, the bane of all souls. " Joey finally said with a wide grin.
"What! Soul Devouring Dragon!" Li Huang exclaimed and started freaking out. Then he quickly tried to flee away.
At that time, the Azure Dragon opened its mouth widely and started sucking the soul of the old man.
