《Ashura, Peerless Killing Sovereign》 Chapter 1: Azure Dragon; Vermillion Phoenix; Black Tortoise; White Tiger Chapter 1: Azure Dragon; Vermillion Phoenix; Black Tortoise; White Tiger --- The sun glared down unto the world, illuminating vast plains and mystical forests, showing a clear boundless sky that held divine-like puffy clouds. In the remote corners of this vast mystical world, a juvenile young boy stood at the side of a river, two people in front of him. This young boy is Lin Wu, the young master of the immersive Lin Clan, a powerhouse of the Divine King Province, a legendary, mythical state in which the pinnacle of the world gather. ¡°Well, what is it that you wish to discuss with me?¡± Lin Wu asked with a cold voice. Years of temperament after being humiliated, mocked, and beaten, have hardened his mind to astonishing heights. The two people in front of him sneered, and viciously bit out. ¡°Die!¡± The shorter of the two, a youthful young man with a rat-like face, immediately dove towards Lin Wu, killing intent inside of his eyes. The taller of the two simply watched with a cold, indifferent face. Lin Wu simply stared with cold eyes, watching the dimly glowing golden-colored fist that was getting closer and closer towards his face. It was ascertained that if the attack were to make contact, Lin Wu would no doubt die. Contrary to what one might expect, Lin Wu had a calm, impassive expression on his face. ¡°I refuse.¡± Lin Wu said with a serene voice and as fast as lightning, a palm strike was let out, heading toward the glowing golden-colored fist. The short youthful young man with a rat-like face simply snorted, and continued his advance. Without a moment sparing, the palm made contact with the fist! ¡°Pah!¡± The fist broke! The rat-like young man wailed as the pain registered in his mind, the taller man staring with widened eyes. The palm of Lin Wu had actually broken the fist of the rat-like youthful man! ¡°How is this possible!?¡± The mind of the tall man immediately sped up. ¡°Lin Wu is the supposed cripple of the Lin Clan, it is impossible for him to cultivate Spirit Qi! Could it be possible that he had made a recovery?¡± What the tall man thought was true. Lin Wu was the certain cripple of the Lin Clan, without any innate talent, no ability to cultivate Spirit Qi, and a mysterious Spirit, it was a known fact that Lin Wu held no power whatsoever. So, how did he break the fist of the rat-like servant? ¡°You believed that I am cripple, right?¡± The serene voice of Lin Wu rang out, a oppressive Spirit Qi beginning to burst surge forth. A demonic shadow appeared behind him, tyrannical and destructive pressure beginning to spread throughout the vicinity. ¡°You see, there is a special case.¡± Lin Wu murmured, a blood-red sword beginning to condense in the hand of the demonic shadow, a blue fog began to coalesce into the distinct shape of a dragon on his side. ¡°That is, if a Cultivator possesses multiple Spirits, there is a chance of a late awakening.¡± Lin Wu continued his explanation, the blood-red sword appearing as the demonic shadow became bigger, the blue dragon becoming more detailed and life-like. ¡°If this rare case does occur, then that Cultivator will not be able to harness Spirit Qi, as their Spirits are hibernating within their Soul World, preparing to awaken.¡± Lin Wu concluded, beginning to walk towards the two cowering youthful young men with a sinister expression on his face.

The two youthful young men immediately became a pile of blood, which was quickly absorbed by the blood-red sword. ¡°Azure Dragon Spirit. Shadow Devil Spirit. Blood Lord Spirit. This are the only Spirits that I have summoned, in addition the Vermillion Phoenix Spirit, Black Tortoise Spirit, and White Tiger Spirit are also within my Soul World.¡± ¡°It seems that it is time to step into the World of Cultivation. I have remained lenient far too long, basking in the peaceful edict of no battle, bloodshed.¡± Lin Wu said, a dim memory of a powerful Ashura that had rampaged throughout the Heavens surfacing within his mind. With nothing but a single thought, the large tirade of Spirits disappeared, a small pitch-black fox, possessing two blood-red eyes, and six tails remained. This the first Spirit of Lin Wu, the Heaven Devouring Fox Spirit. Lin Wu stroked the black fur of his true Spirit, and simply walked towards the Dao Manor, an large valley where the majority of the Lin Clan lived. The Heaven Devouring Fox Spirit was special in that it can devour the Spirits of others, and afterwards recreate them within the Soul World of Lin Wu, effectively making the devoured Spirits his. This is how Lin Wu had obtained all of those tyrannical Spirits. The Azure Dragon Spirit, Vermillion Phoenix Spirit, Black Tortoise Spirit, White Tiger Spirit, Blood Lord Spirit, and Shadow Devil Spirit were all devoured within his previous life, in which he was the raging Asura known as a Killing God. The only reason that Lin Wu had remained dormant within this last few years, was simply because he enjoyed the peace! The bloodshed, rage, wrath, and fury that Lin Wu had experienced within his previous life, he wanted to take a break from it! He had gotten tired of it all. Yet now, after being lenient and dormant for over a decade within this new life, a new Killing God will emerge. It should be said that Lin Wu had high standards for the Spirits that he would devour using the Heaven Devouring Fox Spirit. The Four God Spirits he had devoured from a Great Sage God. The Blood Lord Spirit and Shadow Devil Spirit from the 7th Demonic Emperor of the Underworld. After walking for a while, Lin Wu had arrived before a giant ethereal door. This giant ethereal door is the entrance to the Dao Manor, and only those with Lin Clan blood could enter it. Without hesitation, Lin Wu walked through and entered into a bustling town-like establishment. With many pavilions, villas, and palaces littering around a giant, tyrannical tower, all surrounding by an endless forest. Lin Wu began to walk towards a lavish villa, with many treasures and wealth adorning, clearly representing the high status of the person that lived within it. ¡°It is time to create a new Killing God, and to start it off, I should probably begin to circulate Spirit Qi within my Soul World, which has remained dormant for over a whole decade.¡± Chapter 2: Divine Dao Hall; Heavenly Skill - Eight Raging Celestial Dragon Palm Chapter 2: Divine Dao Hall; Heavenly Skill - Eight Raging Celestial Dragon Palm --- Lin Wu entered into the lavish villa, walking into the living room, where a youthful man sat. This youthful man is his father, Lin Wei, a powerful Cultivator who is a Spirit Saint, a legendary existence within the Divine King Province. ¡°Father.¡± Lin Wu amiably greeted. Even though Lin Wu had hidden his terrifying potential, going as far as to portray himself as a cripple, Lin Wei had endured through it all and treated Lin Wu lovingly. ¡°Wu¡¯er, how are you? Have those bastards from the Xu Clan bullied you again, have the younger generation of Lin Clan done anything to you!?¡± Lin Wei roared and jumped towards Lin Wu with outstretched hands, a idiotic smile on his face. Lin Wu smoothly dodged, causing Lin Wei to smack into the wall, creating a small, perfect imprint of his face on it. ¡°I am fine, father. I was wondering if you can give me a Tao Token, I want to choose a Heavenly Skill from the Divine Dao Hall.¡± Lin Wu said, expecting Lin Wei to exclaim in shock and disbelief, but he was disappointed as a knowing smile appeared on the face of Lin Wei. ¡°So, you finally decided to enter the World of Cultivation?¡± Lin Wei asked with a grin, cheekily looking at Lin Wu with triumphant eyes. ¡°How did you?!¡± Lin Wu exclaimed in shock and disbelief. He had done everything in his power to stop his Sovereign Class Spiritual Pulse from ringing out, only barely suppressing it by sneaking out into the Boundless Star Spirit Forest that is within the Dao Manor. All Cultivators possessed Spiritual Pulse. The Class of the Spiritual Pulse usually determined how far the Cultivator would go down within the World of Cultivation, usually, a Earth Class Spiritual Pulse is more than enough to make them powerful. The Classes of Spiritual Pulse were as follows; Earth Class, Sky Class, Heaven Class, Divine Class, God Class, and Sovereign Class. Within his previous life, Lin Wu had possessed a God Class. It was what enabled him to become a Spirit God, undergo ascension, and achieve enlightenment, eventually becoming the Killing God, and shortly thereafter, the Killing Sovereign. That was only when he was barely a Spirit God, becoming the Killing God, and afterwards the Killing Sovereign, was all done with his God Class Spiritual Pulse. He actually was excited, wondering how powerful he would be now that he possesses a Sovereign Class Spiritual Pulse. The stages that a Cultivator was divided into were as follows: Spirit Scholar, Spirit Master, Spirit Grandmaster, Spirit Elder, Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sage, Spirit Saint, and finally, Spirit God. Once a Cultivator became a Spirit God, they would have the option of ascension, ascending and gaining true divinity. If they choose undergo ascension, they would have to take upon themselves a Will which defines their Soul. Lin Wu had naturally chosen the Killing Will, becoming the Killing God, as his road towards the pinnacle of Cultivation was wrought with death and bloodshed. ¡°Don¡¯t you think I would notice the enormous fluctuations of Spirit Qi originating from the farthest parts of the Boundless Star Spirit Forest?¡± Lin Wei asked while still grinning, his blood-red eyes staring at Lin Wu energetically. ¡°En.¡± Lin Wu agreed with a sigh. ¡°Before you ask, I am currently at the peak of Spirit Scholar, and possess Full Innate Spirit Force, courtesy of my Spiritual Pulse.¡± ¡°Good, good!¡± Lin Wei roared with laughter, abundant joy apparent within his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll give you two Tao Tokens, and a single Dao Tokent. Choose wisely, as you will only be able to get two Heavenly Skills and a single Cosmic Skills.¡± ¡°I am guessing that you are going to go into the Boundless Star Spirit Forest to absorb a Beast Soul, and breakthrough into Spirit Master? Those this mean that you are done hiding?¡± Lin Wei asked, and roared with laughter once again when Lin Wu had nodded. ¡°Very well! Go, go my son, and prove to them all that you are the most powerful!¡± Lin Wei roared and threw two shining golden slips, accompanied with a single pristine-white slip. Lin Wu caught them and nodded, excitedly walking out of the villa. The Divine Dao Hall was the largest collection of Qi Arts within the world. You would find several thousands of Abyssal Skills, a few hundred Heavenly Skills, and the largest number of Cosmic Skills seen within the entire Pangea Continent. In order to obtain entree and take Abyssal and Heavenly Skills, you require a single Tao Token in order to take a single Abyssal or Heavenly Skill. In order to take a Cosmic Skill you require a single Dao Token. Both can be obtained from a Grand Elder of the Lin Clan, which are similar to the spiritual pillars of the Dao Manor. Lin Wei, the father of Lin Wu, is the 3rd Grand Elder, and the 2nd Dao Sage. The Dao Sage is similar to an ancestor of the Lin Clan, and holds an extremely prestigious status within the Lin Clan, almost as high as the Patriarchs. Naturally, the grandfather of Lin Wu is similarly the 1st Dao Sage, the Dao Sage overseeing the Divine Dao Manor, Lin Ji. Lin Wu quickly walked out of the lavish villa, the two Tao Tokens and single Dao Token clenched within his hand. Lin Wu was currently walking towards the tyrannical tower that is smack deep within the middle of the Dao Manor, the Divine Dao Hall. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Even though Lin Wu was a Killing God within his previous life, he only practiced a set of Qi Arts that were known as the Art of Killing, which had enabled him to awaken his Killing Sword Spirit and use many powerful Qi Arts capable of destroying continents and splitting oceans. Now that Lin Wu had been reborn, his Killing Sword Spirit had receded into the deepest part of his Soul World, nestling directly next to his Soul. The reincarnation cycle had strengthened his Killing Sword Spirit has well, increasing it''s power to incredible heights. Suddenly, a obnoxious, arrogant voice rang out, stopping Lin Wu in his tracks. ¡°Everybody look! If it isn¡¯t the cripple, Lin Wu!¡± A young black-haired boy roared as he walked towards the direction of Lin Wu, causing the ancient Killing God to narrow his eyes, a coldness beginning to spread throughout him. ¡°What do you want, Lin Dai.¡± Lin Wu coldly said, staring at the young black-haired boy with emotionless eyes and a passive face. Lin Dai is the child of Lin Lei, another Grand Elder, the direct brother of Lin Wei and the third child of Lin Ji, the 2nd Great Dao Sage. Lin Lei and Lin Wei are as compatible as water and fire, sparks would erupt every single time they meet. The same could be said for Lin Dai and Lin Wu, they were even more incompatible, as blood would be shed every time they met. Naturally, even though Lin Lei and Lin Wei had actually become the best of friends, Lin Dai and Lin Wu had not reached that stage, yet. ¡°What do I want? Why don¡¯t you tell me what I want?¡± Lin Dai sneered, his golden-colored eyes staring daggers into the chest of Lin Wu. Right when Lin Wu was about to retort, a fight about to erupt, a loud, oppressive and tyrannical voice rang out, accompanied by a bone-crushing pressure. ¡°Lin Dai, you little rascal! Scram!¡± The ancient voice said, causing Lin Dai to narrow his eyes before disappearing as fast as a blur. Lin Wu simply stared at the receding figure of Lin Dai before turning his attention to the entrance of the Divine Dao Hall, where an elderly man sat. Walking up to the elderly man, Lin Wu greeted him with a friendly smile and adoring eyes. ¡°Grandfather, how is your day going?¡± Lin Wu said, sitting down next to his kind-looking grandfather, who is actually the 2nd Great Dao Sage, Lin Ji! The elderly man stared at Lin Wu with kind, amiable eyes before replying. ¡°My day is going well, it became even greater when my second child, Lin Wei, your father, had sent a Mystical Transmission saying some very interesting things.¡± Lin Ji said with a grin, staring at the star-filled sky before continuing. ¡°So you finally decided to stop hiding?¡± ¡°Yes. I feel a burst of passion now arising, I want to travel the world, discover mystical lands, and become strong!¡± Lin Wu honestly said, his eye gleaming with determination, excitement, and passion. ¡°Good, good!¡± Lin Ji said with a grin, roaring with laughter in a similar way to his second child, Lin Wei. Lin Ji took out a pristine-white scroll, indiscreetly handing it to Lin Wu as he took the two Tao Tokens and single Dao Token. ¡°This is¡­¡± Lin Wu asked with a loss for words, his eyes widening as he read the title of the scroll and then stared at Lin Ji with eyes as big as saucers, his mouth gaping. ¡°That is the Heavenly Skill that our family of the Lin Clan always possessed, the legendary Heavenly Skill that had broken mountains, split rivers, and trembled the heavens!¡± Lin Ji said with excitement, his old eyes dramatically widening. ¡°The Heavenly Skill! Eight Raging Celestial Dragon Palm!¡± Lin Ji exclaimed, motioning towards the pristine-white scroll as he began to explain. ¡°This Eight Raging Celestial Dragon Palm is extremely powerful, and once mastered, it is possible for it to have the might of a Cosmic Skill! It is a palm-strike Qi Art, and as the name implies, with each strike of the palm, a single Celestial Dragon will follow shortly thereafter, spreading chaos and destruction.¡± ¡°With each palm-strike that can bring out a Celestial Dragon, will define the mastery that you have over it. For now, I and your father can only bring out five Celestial Dragons, but that is more than enough!¡± Lin Ji said, sending out a single palm-strike, which was followed by a raging golden-colored dragon that roared out, scaring and aweing the nearby crowds of Lin clansmen. ¡°Now go!¡± Lin Ji suddenly said, and smacked the chest of Lin Wu, sending him tumbling down into the purple-colored swirling portal behind them. Lin Wu didn¡¯t even have the time to let out his frustration and alarm before his body fell into the purple-colored swirling portal, taking him to the 1st floor of the Divine Dao Hall. Contrary to what one might expect, Lin Ji had a worried expression on his face. This was because, the first time a member of the younger generation enters the Divine Dao Hall, they will actually be tested by the Patriarch of the Lin Clan, the Divine King Lin Yu!
