Chapter 94 - II
Wu Xiao said, “Let’s go and have a look. In the Asura Realm, there are either the Deity of Sin or the King of Ghosts. As far as I know, no one is in the form of a snake.”
Xie Zuo grabbed the sea electric eel again. “Where did you enter the Asura Realm from? Lead the way immediately.”
The sea electric eel wanted to cry but had no tears. Fear made its mind clearer. It had no choice but to swim to a crack on the seabed based on its memory.
The sea eel swam around the crack. “It’s here. I was hunting, and when I chased the prey here, it suddenly disappeared, and then I was sucked in with the seawater.”
Xie Zuo looked at the narrow crack, turned into a white snake, and told the sea eel, “Lead the way.”
The sea eel had wanted to slip away for a long time and cried when he heard it, “I… I don’t know the way; I just followed the water.”
Wu Xiao also turned into a mini octopus, and two tentacles wrapped around the sea eel rudely. “Aren’t you going too? Stop talking nonsense, just lead the way!”
The sea eel cried aggrievedly, lowered its head, and drilled into the crack, and Xie Zuo and Wu Xiao hurriedly followed.
The world was divided into six realms: deities, humans, demons, ghosts, Asuras, and Tiandi. The deities, humans, and Tiandi were collectively called the upper three realms, while the demons, ghosts, and Asuras were collectively called the lower three realms. This name was originally just a geographical distinction. Later, as the deities, closely tied to the human world, grew stronger and stronger, it began to have the meaning of superiority and inferiority.
The upper three realms and the lower three realms were clearly demarcated, and powerful protective barriers were set up at the borders. This time, the gate of heaven and earth had suddenly opened without warning and quickly closed, causing a great shock to the six realms, and the barriers everywhere were damaged to varying degrees.
The only intersection between the deities and the Asura realms was in a large canyon at the bottom of the East China Sea. The protective barrier of the Grand Canyon was extremely powerful, but it also broke an inconspicuous crack in this earthquake. The sea electric eel with poor eyesight was accidentally rushed into this crack, stayed in the underground palace of King Asura for a few days, and fortunately returned to the East China Sea.
The sea electric eel swam forward along the long and narrow deep-sea crack. Because of fear, a flash of lightning would burst out from its body from time to time.
Xie Zuo chased it closely, missing Huo Yao more and more in his heart. Huo Yao had been a cautious person. If he were still alive, he would never have been so reckless as to knock down the golden snake.
He glanced behind him again. Wu Xiao was swimming hard against the current. When he met Xie Zuo’s eyes, he braked suddenly. “What’s wrong?”
Xie Zuo shook his head. “Nothing, let’s keep going.”
“Oh.” Because the gap was too narrow, Wu Xiao couldn’t squeeze to Xie Zuo’s side, so he had to follow behind him. His voice floated from behind Xie Zuo, “Don’t worry, whether he is the old king or the new king, I will kill him and get the child back for you!”
“Okay, thank you.”
Xie Zuo’s voice was very soft, but Wu Xiao still heard it. He braked suddenly again, stood there in a daze for a long time, and then chased after him with a purple and red face.
After swimming in the dark crack for a long time, Xie Zuo suddenly felt that the sea water was much lighter, and then the water surface opened up, revealing light.
The sea electric eel hesitated and circled. “It seems to be here. There is an underground river in the underground palace of King Asura. There will be stairs if you walk a little further… I saw him on the stairs.”
Xie Zuo’s throat was dry. “Is the little golden snake okay?”
“I couldn’t see clearly. I feel it’s fine and fierce, but King Asura is very fond of it.”
Xie Zuo was slightly relieved.
Wu Xiao asked, “Who is the new king of Asura?”
The sea eel shook its head in fear. “I don’t know. I only saw him and the little snake once, and I heard from the crabs in the underground river that the new king is very powerful and that the old king was scared to death by him.”
“Scared to death?” Wu Xiao was surprised.
The sea eel nodded solemnly. “I heard that the new king has lightning!”
Lightning!
Xie Zuo’s heart jumped suddenly.
Wu Xiao’s face fell; it couldn’t be…
The two followed the sea eel and soon found the stairs.
“It’s here!” The sea eel cheered.
Xie Zuo’s heart was about to jump out of his chest; he wanted to see this Asura king immediately!
They waited and waited, and just when Xie Zuo couldn’t wait to get ashore, suddenly, there was a noise from afar.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
Xie Zuo had half of his body out of the water, as if someone was dragging a chain.
As the sound got closer, a gust of wind blew, and suddenly, the surroundings lit up.
Wu Xiao hurriedly pulled Xie Zuo into the water.
Xie Zuo saw that several torches were lit on the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the water and the person approaching.
The man was tall, with long chains on his wrists and ankles.
“Hiss~”
Xie Zuo heard the sound of a small snake spitting out its tongue.
The water flow was disturbed, and King Asura walked down the steps into the water.
Through the water, Xie Zuo clearly saw the appearance of the new king.
