CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 20 THE POWER OF THE DIVINE SON

The chaotic scene ended, mainly because Great Leader Luo Chengwu intervened. Without his intervention, given the Asura Clan’s inherent trait of growing fiercer and more invigorated the longer they fought, the battle wouldn’t have concluded even after three days and nights.

On the arena stage, the ten-meter-tall, six-armed, blade-wielding Shura dissipated. A hint of ecstasy touched Luo Longxiang’s face as he said, "What a thrilling battle! Although this is your arena, I can’t hold back *too* much."

"Summon your Shura True Form."

Clarity had barely returned to Chen Jiuge’s eyes when, puzzled, he asked, "Shura True Form?"

Luo Longxiang adopted an exaggerated expression. "Hey, hey, hey, you can’t be serious, right? What exactly were you doing during the Divine Son trials?"

Chen Jiuge began to reminisce. It seemed he had been repeatedly killed, then revived, only to be killed again. This continued until he finally won. Then, the cycle repeated with the next opponent; he died continuously until he broke through.

"Honestly, those Divine Generals are getting more and more perfunctory. Let me teach you," Luo Longxiang said, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Sense your Shura Heart and comprehend the essence of your battle. The Shura will not disappoint you."

A twelve-meter-tall, four-armed Shura materialized behind Luo Longxiang. It had a face like an Evil Ghost, four long arms, and a majestic battle aura that soared into the sky. This was his Shura True Form—Power Shura.

Chen Jiuge remained unaffected by the battle aura; his consciousness slowly sank into his heart.

The essence of battle, huh? Chen Jiuge, looking perplexed, wandered through the darkness, continuously contemplating his own essence of battle.

No, not that... It’s everything... My essence is *you*!

In the darkness, a Shura, bound by countless chains, let out a soul-stirring roar.

I am who I am! I will no longer compromise myself or seek validation from others! I have my own thoughts, and no one can force me to do anything against my will! I want freedom! I want immortality! I want to roam the world freely! Anyone who stands in my way—kill, kill, KILL!

Black death qi and red killing intent mingled, and a similarly twelve-meter-tall Shura materialized behind Chen Jiuge. It had the face of a ferocious tiger and a body with eight arms, each wielding a long spear. An endless aura of death surged skyward. This was his Shura True Form—Death Shura.

Two extremely potent auras clashed in mid-air. Some of the weaker Shura were already being affected by these auras, their eyes beginning to fill with killing intent.

Luo Chengwu casually separated the auras the two were emitting. A curious expression crossed his face as he thought, Why is it the Death Shura?

Luo Wencheng was also puzzled. Yes, why is that? This young fellow doesn’t seem like a particularly ferocious person.

Luo Kuisan crossed his arms, looking at Chen Jiuge with appreciation. Hmph, isn’t this how it should be? This is the true bearing of our Asura Clan’s Divine Son! I’ve long found that Luo Longxiang an eyesore. He’s always laughing so arrogantly despite his meager strength and constantly causing trouble.

Seeing Chen Jiuge’s strength, which had clearly surged, Luo Longxiang’s arrogant smile slowly vanished. His expression turned grave. "I didn’t expect you to have fully integrated your bloodline only now. Then I can’t go easy on you anymore."

"Come at me," Chen Jiuge said in a deep voice. He unleashed his Divine Skill—Purgatory Destruction Wheel!

Luo Longxiang countered with his Divine Skill—Netherworld Eight Extremes!

Four red wheels and eight black long spears collided. For a moment, everyone’s vision was filled with red and black. Only when the confrontation ceased and the Divine Skills dissipated could the scene before them be clearly discerned.

The arena, capable of withstanding a blow from a Heavenly Immortal, was completely shattered, and a massive pit had appeared in the ground.

Luo Longxiang looked at the large gash on his chest and said with a hint of approval, "You’re very strong. I, Luo Longxiang, acknowledge you."

Chen Jiuge, covered in dirt and dust, climbed to his feet. He straightened his broken arm, spat, and retorted, "Do I need your acknowledgment? It’s not certain who won or lost yet!"

"Heh, you clearly lost that last exchange. If we continue..." Luo Longxiang shook his head.

Chen Jiuge pointed with the long spear in his hand. "Then let’s go again!"

"Alright, that’s enough. Let’s stop here," Luo Chengwu interrupted their argument.

"Now, I declare Chen Jiuge the third Shura Divine Son of our clan!"

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Loud cheers erupted. The Shura below became extremely excited, and soon, another bloody incident began.

However, this was no longer Chen Jiuge’s concern, as Luo Chengwu was now allocating to him the resources due to a Divine Son.

「In the stone hall.」

Luo Chengwu pointed to the empty seat across the stone table. "Although many coincidences were involved, regardless, you are now a Divine Son of our Asura Clan."

Chen Jiuge opened his mouth to retort, but Luo Chengwu gestured for him to be silent.

"I don’t know how you managed to separate your Human Clan bloodline from your Asura bloodline, or even how you can switch between them at will, but none of that is important."

"As long as you are within the Asura Clan, simply don’t reveal your Human Clan appearance. I won’t even stop you from helping the Human Clan of the Star Sea Realm."

Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised by the Great Leader’s leniency and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome. These are trivial matters. I know you probably don’t like Xiu Xiu, but there’s no need to reject her. Just treat her as a younger sister."

"The way you address her shouldn’t be an issue, should it? After all, Xiu Xiu did save your life. This small matter shouldn’t be a problem, correct?"

Chen Jiuge thought for a moment and said, "That’s acceptable."

"Alright, now that the trivial matters are settled, let’s move on to official business."

"As a Divine Son of our Asura Clan, you will have a Protector. Luo Wencheng, step forward."
