156 The Birth of the Shura
Lin Ming’s body was surrounded by dark red energy.
His aura was extremely terrifying.
“What is this aura?”
Everyone revealed shocked expressions.
“This is Lin Ming’s power? No, this isn’t his power. This is… Shura’s power!”
“What? Shura? Why is Lin Ming a Shura?”
“How did he become a Shura? Isn’t a Shura unable to control his own will? Before this, he could even talk.”
“Moreover, his aura was clearly not like this when he charged up just now.”
…
“Shura!”
Those experts could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
“The continent will be destroyed!”
“Ah!”
“Quickly run—”
…
A month later…
One-twentieth of the continent’s living beings had been killed.
It was a catastrophe.
Shuras were the most terrifying existence in the world.
There was another Shura before Lin Ming, and tens of millions of people died back then. In the end, the Shura was defeated by the three goddesses and experts from various races.
However, this time, the Shura had killed hundreds of millions of lives.
The three goddesses, the angel race, the god race, and the demon race were all heavily injured.
“This is our only chance.”
Goddess Tian Xue stood there in a noble manner.
“The God Slaying Formation has been fully formed. This is the only power that can kill Shuras. Several people of the god race are already drawing the Shura here. Whether he lives or dies will all depend on this.”
“They’re here!”
They looked at the void in the distance.
More than a dozen figures were running toward this place.
As Lin Ming appeared, the sky turned blood-red.
“Receive them!”
“No need,” an expert said.
After that…
They could only watch helplessly as the dozen or so experts who had rushed over were penetrated by the black energy and turned into nothingness.
Everyone’s eyes narrowed.
“What’s this Shura’s power? How could he be so strong? They were the strongest experts on the continent, so how could they be killed by the Shura in an instant? It’s too scary!”
“Such a terrifying existence shouldn’t appear on our continent.”
“Everyone, whether the continent lives or perishes, it all depends on this. Go!”
“Everyone, let’s go!”
Whoosh!
Countless experts charged toward the Shura.
At that moment, the sky turned dark as if the world was about to be overturned.
Pfft!
One expert after another died at the hands of the Shura.
“Quick, lure it into the God Slaying Formation!”
“Let me do it.”
The Goddess of Destiny rushed over.
“You’ll die,” Goddess Tian Xue said with a slight frown.
However, the Goddess of Destiny had already charged toward the Shura.
“Sakura—Life Lock!”
Boom!
The Goddess of Destiny collided with the Shura with terrifying power.
Then, her figure fell toward the God Slaying Formation in an arc.
The Shura’s eyes were red as he rushed over.
He punched the Goddess of Destiny’s stomach.
This punch might take her life.
However, she had a holy forbidden tool on her.
The Goddess of Destiny spat out blood and was sent flying.
“Activate the formation!” someone shouted.
Thunder and lightning struck as the God Slaying Formation activated, trapping the Shura within.
“Everyone, let’s release our power!”
Everyone released their powerful energy at the formation.
The Shura’s continuous attacks almost shook the great God Slaying Formation.
The Shura raised his sword and pointed it at the sky. In an instant, the world changed again. Blood and black covered the sky full of lightning.
Countless black lightning bolts surged into the Shura’s sword.
Then, the Shura wielded his sword with both hands and slashed at the God Slaying Formation.
“Cr*p! Quick, run!”
When the powerhouses felt this power that made their hearts palpitate, their pupils constricted violently.
Boom!
As the sword slashed out, the terrifying power instantly devoured everything in the surroundings, including a large number of experts.
Everything turned into nothingness.
The experts who had escaped looked at the ashes in the sky with lingering fear.
The ashes dispersed…
A huge chasm of unknown length was slashed out by the sword.
“Shura… He’s fallen…”
All of them heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, even at this moment, they were still terrified.
“Shuras are too terrifying. We can’t allow another Shura to appear in this world!”
“How was such an existence born? Lin Ming isn’t a Shura, so how did he suddenly gain such strength?”
“I don’t know. It’s a mystery, but I only know that Shuras must not exist!”
“I’m afraid that even the God Slaying Formation can’t kill Shuras under normal circumstances. If he hadn’t destroyed the God Slaying Formation with a single strike and the two forces hadn’t fused together to instantly shatter it, I’m afraid we might not have been able to kill him.”
…
Chu Bai listened to Lin Ming finish his story.
For a moment, he was filled with emotions.
“So, you were killed by the collision between the God Slaying Formation and your own power?” Chu Bai asked.
Lin Ming retracted his reminiscing gaze.
“How is that possible? Even if I, a Shura, have only comprehended the tip of the iceberg, so how could they possibly kill me?”
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lin Ming said, “That month, I massacred billions of lives. From the moment I saw Yue’er being burned, I lost my sense of self and became a Shura. However, my consciousness was still there. I knew what was happening, but I couldn’t control it.
“The collision of that power actually allowed me to regain my consciousness for a short period of time. I killed so many people. I knew that I had sinned greatly and there was no way for me to redeem myself. I couldn’t continue killing either. I had already killed everyone I wanted to kill.”
Even though he had committed a grave mistake, Chu Bai still admired him.
200,000 years ago, perhaps everything was still very ancient, including the definition of justice and evil.
This included Lin Ya and Jiang Yue’er in the story. Chu Bai admired them.
They were the pioneers.
“Senior, you can rest in peace now, because what happened in the past won’t happen again—except for a few exceptions,” Chu Bai cupped his fists and said.
“I can rest in peace? Indeed, although this wasn’t my obsession, it was what Ah Ya and Yue’er wanted to see. Perhaps I should also understand that the darkness and chaos that I’ve been persistent about aren’t right.”
Lin Ming raised his head and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. It was as if his two true loves were smiling at him.
“Chaos, what is it?
“If you want to understand it, there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future. Perhaps this is not the right choice, so I won’t talk to you about it.”
Then, he looked at Chu Bai. “Now, what I really want to see is a real Shura. That’s why I’ve been keeping this remnant soul until now.”
Chu Bai looked at him and asked, “What exactly is a Shura? In your story, you weren’t a Shura, so how did you become a Shura in an instant and obtain such great power? Or were you a Shura to begin with?”
