Eternal Sacred King

2293 Asura Monastery

Great Tie Wei Mountain was extremely tall and the Martial Dao Prime Body and Heavenly Wolf climbed for most of the day without resting.

By the time the three of them arrived at the peak, it was already dusk.

Not far away stood a row of stone walls that were mottled with time. The stone walls extended endlessly along Great Tie Wei Mountain.

Through the stone walls, one could see the corners of some ancient structures that exuded a calm zen aura—it resembled a monastery.

“Where is Tie Wei Mountain?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

“Under normal circumstances, we should be able to reach Tie Wei Mountain after crossing Great Tie Wei Mountain and a strait.” Heavenly Wolf said.

In other words, they had to cross the stone walls if they wanted to continue forward.

The Martial Dao Prime Body and Heavenly Wolf took a few steps forward and saw a door. A plaque hung on the door beam with two words—Asura Monastery.

The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned slightly.

Yan Beichen’s Dao title was the Asura. To think that there would be an Asura Monastery here.

Was this a coincidence or was something else at play?

Could it be predestined for Yan Beichen to arrive here?

“How much do you know about Asura Monastery?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

“I’m not sure.”

Heavenly Wolf shook his head. “Back when I followed my old master and fought against the Emperors of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and the Pure Land of Bliss here, this monastery did not exist. I wonder when it was established.”

Under the shroud of twilight, Asura Monastery exuded a sinister aura.

Nobody knew anything about Asura Monastery and what grade of sect or faction it was.

If it was a black-grade monastery, the situation would be fine.

According to the ranking of the Heavenly World’s sects, the highest cultivation realm in a black-grade monastery was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal.

That was of no threat to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

However, things would be difficult if it was an earth-grade monastery.

Being able to reach earth-grade meant that the monastery had a Perfected One realm expert presiding over things.

The Perfected One realm was divided into four levels—Convergence, Celestial Being, Hollow Nether and Paradise Void.

Given the current combat strength of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could only defeat Convergence Perfected Immortal experts if he attacked with all his might.

If he encountered experts at the Celestial Being, Hollow Nether and Paradise Void realms, he could only avoid them for now.

The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and did not barge in rashly. Instead, he knocked on the monastery door gently.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

After knocking a few times, the Martial Dao Prime Body stood in front of the entrance of the monastery and waited patiently.

If he wanted to continue forward, he could only pass through Asura Monastery.

Before long, hurried footsteps sounded from inside and arrived at the door.

“Who’s there?”

A question sounded from within.

The Martial Dao Prime Body said in a deep voice, “I’m Desolate Martial and I get to the Pure Land of Bliss through your monastery. Please make an exception.”

There was a squeaking sound.

The door of the monastery opened slowly and two bald monks appeared. They wore monk robes and their cultivation realms were not high—they were only at the Black Immortal realm.

The two monks sized up the Martial Dao Prime Body and stared at the Mara Mask for a long time but could not make out anything.

Not only could the Mara Mask cover his face, it could also block spirit consciousness detection.

Coupled with the fact that the Prime Body cultivated the Martial Dao, even a Perfected Immortal would not be able to see through the depths of the Prime Body, let alone the two monks whose cultivations were insufficient!

The gazes of the two monks landed on Heavenly Wolf behind the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Heavenly Wolf was gigantic with a ferocious gaze and a murderous aura. The expressions of the two monks changed slightly.

When the two monks looked at Yan Beichen on Heavenly Wolf’s back, they frowned at the same time.

“Fiend Domain cultivators!”

The two monks hollered.

Although Yan Beichen was unconscious, he cultivated the Fiend Obsession Sutra and the obsession fiend qi that maintained the remaining lifeforce in his body was extremely rich.

“Cultivators of the Fiend Domain are not allowed to step foot into the Pure Land of the Buddhist monasteries!”

Extreme disgust appeared in the eyes of the two monks as they hollered, “Patrons, please leave!”

With that said, the two monks returned to the monastery.

The monastery’s door closed with a loud boom.

The Martial Dao Prime Body stood in front of the closed monastery in silence. There were no emotions beneath his cold silver mask.

“The conflict between Buddhists and fiends is even more intense than between immortals and fiends. They can barely coexist.”

Heavenly Wolf said, “In the oldest records, the ancient fiend Bo Xun was born at the same time as the ancient Buddha. It was said that when the Buddha comprehended the Dao beneath the Bodhi Tree, the ancient fiend Bo Xun led 8 billion fiends here and a massive battle between the Buddhists and fiends broke out.”

“The feud between the Buddhists and fiends have been around for a long time and are etched in their bones.”

...

The Martial Dao Prime Body had heard of that legend as well.

The legendary ancient fiend, Bo Xun, was the oldest, strongest and most terrifying fiend.

As for this generation’s Emperor Bo Xun, he was truly strong as well. To think that he could comprehend the two Dharmic Daos of Buddha and fiend to their limits and reach the realm of Buddha and fiend coexisting!

First came the ancient fiend Bo Xun followed by Emperor Bo Xun; the feud between Buddhists and fiends had deepened continuously.

Therefore, all disciples of the Buddhist sects were extremely sensitive to any mention of the fiends!

Heavenly Wolf said, “Among the Buddhist cultivators, the Fiend Domain is considered as filthy soil and is the complete opposite of the Pure Land of Bliss. If they knew that we were from the Fiend Domain, they would definitely not let us step foot into the Pure Land of Bliss for fear that our filthy aura would contaminate the Pure Land of Bliss.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body remained silent the entire time.

A moment later, he glanced sideways at the unconscious Yan Beichen.

Yan Beichen’s condition was getting worse and it was unknown how much longer he could last—he did not have much time left!

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not wish to continue waiting by their rules. He reached out and pressed on the door of Asura Monastery, exerting strength!

Boom!

...

Accompanied by a loud bang, the door of the monastery was shattered by a single palm strike from the Martial Dao Prime Body, crumbling into pieces. Dust billowed and wood shavings splattered everywhere!

The two monks from earlier on had yet to leave. When they turned around, they were shocked at what they saw!

Neither of them expected that the purple-robed man with the silver mask would dare barge into Asura Monastery!

“Ow! Ow!”

Heavenly Wolf carried Yan Beichen and passed through the billowing dust, leaping into Asura Monastery murderously. He howled continuously in extreme excitement!

“Are we going to start a massacre?!”

He could not wait any longer and a ferocious glint flashed through his eyes. Licking his lips with his grisly red tongue, he glared at the two monks not far away and lunged forward with a deep growl!

The two monks were only Black Immortals and Heavenly Wolf was already at the Level 1 Heaven Essence realm.

Against the ferocious might of Heavenly Wolf, the two monks were so scared that their legs went limp and they could not move, let alone resist.

A tragic stench surged over and the two monks were about to suffocate with despair on their faces.

Heavenly Wolf’s mouth was about to devour the two monks when he suddenly stopped in midair motionlessly!

“Ow!”

Right on the heels of that, Heavenly Wolf shrieked and nearly bit off his tongue.

Unknowingly, the Martial Dao Prime Body had arrived behind Heavenly Wolf and reached out, yanking the latter’s furry tail back!

Heavenly Wolf’s pounce was ferocious and he was caught off guard by the sudden attack from the Martial Dao Prime Body behind him. He felt a burning pain on his butt and his tail seemed to be snapped.

“Ow!”

Heavenly Wolf roared and turned to look at the Martial Dao Prime Body with a furious gaze.

However, when he met with the cold gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he softened instantly and his anger dissipated. He merely blinked and whimpered with an aggrieved expression.

“Behave yourself!”

The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently, “Protect Yan Beichen well. You don’t have to do anything.”
