Chapter 817: Asura City


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Three silhouettes could be seen on a small path at the outskirts of Asura City, leisurely walking on the twisted path.


Chen Xiu sitting on his monster lizard, looked at the Asura City. He turned around and respectfully said to the two people behind him:


“Master, mistress, we have arrived at Asura City.”


Although he had spoken, but the two people didn’t seem to have heard him and remained immersed in their own world. Li Yunmu was holding Brunhilda in his embrace while looking at the surrounding scenery and chatting with her. While Brunhilda in his embrace was like a newly wed wife of an ordinary person, her fair face had turned completely red.


Chen Xiu again looked forward and kept advancing towards the Asura City.


After slowly travelling a hundred meters, the three of them arrived at the Asura City. Li Yunmu and Brunhilda raised their heads and looked at the lofty city walls with a smile on their face. Only when the two of them got close to the city, were they able to faintly discern an ancient G.o.d presence. Asura was indeed present in the city.


“So Yunmu, are we going to enter the Asura City in our true appearances?”


Brunhilda enquired with his man.


Li Yunmu shook his head with a laugh and replied:


“If we entered the city with our original appearances, we will probably attract everyone’s attention. If Asura saw the two of us, he would probably flee.”


The five regions of Origin World were administered by the ancient G.o.ds of the respective region. Regardless of whether it were the mortals at the lowest level or flux experts or even G.o.ds, they would casually intrude in other regions. Li Yunmu looked like someone from eastern domain with black eyes and black hair. While Brunhilda was fair haired and blue-eyed, being someone from north.


The people of Asura City had grotesquely shaped appearances, apart from the people of Deva Clan who looked like ordinary people, everyone else had a part or more growing out of different places.


If the two of them entered just like that, they would indeed attract attention.


Li Yunmu extended his hand and released demonic energy which covered the two of them. The demonic energy which was like mist, scattered after a long time. While the two people sitting on the fierce tiger had also transformed into standard asura people. A third eye had appeared between Li Yunmu’s two eyebrows, making him appeared majestic. And Brunhilda’s transformation was even greater.


She was originally the princess of Land of Ice, a battle Valkyrie who had inherited the genes of Odin and possessed an extremely beautiful appearance. Regardless of wherever she went, she attracted others’ attention. Presently, her delicate facial features had been curtailed, two giant arms have sprouted above her head from both sides and were loosely hanging.


“This appearance is quite odd and novel, although it doesn’t look good but it has another charm.”


A mirror appeared out of nowhere in Brunhilda’s hand in which she checked her appearance while the large hands hanging above head were wantonly waving in the air.


The eyes of the face at the back of Chen Xiu’s head went wide. He was shocked looking at the changed appearance of the two of them.


This changed appearance was indeed very unusual, it didn’t resemble the special characteristics of the four great clans and also wasn’t ugly like the lowest rung people. On careful observation, it appeared like a mix between Doro Clan and Rahu Clan.


The three of them leisurely entered the city. Once they entered, the few people at the door saw Chen Xiu and recognized him as a child of Morrow Clan, bowing respectfully. Following which, when the soldier looked at Li Yunmu and Brunhilda behind Chen Xiu, his complexion tightened, feeling confused about whether he should bow or not.


After the three of them pa.s.sed him, the soldier returned to reality and mumbled:


“Strange, why does the appearance of those two look like Rahu Clan and Doro Clan people, but completely different at the same time?”


The hierarchy of Asura City was very strict with the four clans reigning supreme. If those two were from the four great clans, then not bowing just now would be a major crime for which he would be thrown in prison.


The soldier pondered for a while, then respectfully bowed behind the three of them and instantly stood up straight, guarding the door again.


After entering the city, the three of them saw a desolate district, without any proper houses. It only had a few rooms built with mud and bricks. Few women and children wearing shabby clothes were standing at the gate of the rooms, holding something knitted from hay in their hands. On the path, many children with all sorts of deformities were running around.


When Chen Xiu pa.s.sed through them riding his monster lizard, the children stopped playing and looked at him with s.h.i.+ny eyes filled with some confusion. Next instant, several children were pulled by the women standing outside their doors and immediately forced to kneel on the ground.


Li Yunmu saw that one of children forced to kneel on the ground by the women, was secretly lifting his head to look and said with some interest:


“Chen Xiu, why does this area after entering the city looks like a slum.”


“This is indeed a slum. The people living here include civilians who don’t have asura bloodline or children of four clans with extremely impure bloodlines. You see that white wall which is acting as a boundary, actually that is a bone. Asura City is established on an enormous skeleton, the lower half of the body is the impoverished area.”


Moving in the front, Chen Xiu gave an explanation about the structure of Asura City.


“The rib region marks the residence of middle cla.s.s citizens. Usually the descendents of four great clans who don’t have formidable strength, reside there. The thoracic cavity is the domain of the four great clans. While the skull is where the city lord and ancient G.o.d Asura live. The social structure of Asura City is very strict, poor people have to respectfully kneel towards the people of upper regions and the branch family descendents living in mid-region also have to bow towards the direct descendents.


“Usually, it is known that the four clans reign supreme in the Asura City. But the genuine master of Asura City is city lord Ashbi, even the patriarchs of the four greats clans have to respectfully salute him. Ashbi is Asura’s son and according to what I heard, his strength is only below ancient G.o.ds.”


Hearing his words, Li Yunmu nodded and noticed that the children at the side of the path, indeed had some features of the four great clans. Some had two small bulges protruding out of their shoulders while some had countless marks on their hands, all of which are eyes which cannot open. While some had a distorted small face at the back of their heads.


After entering the city, he clearly felt that the status of a person in Asura City was fixed, regardless of whether it was a soldier or these children of slums. On Earth, a soldier is an extremely respectable profession, who didn’t need to bend in front of powerful people. While children were the center of their families, even if some children had some deformities but they were still treated with love.


But the Asura City was different. Even a soldier had to bow in front of this branch family descendents and salute properly only because they belonged to the four great clans. The four great clans didn’t care about birth rather about bloodline. Those with pure bloodline became direct descendents while those with muddled bloodline became branch family descendents.


And those who were unable to grow the different body parts based on their bloodline were thrown into slums and weren’t recognized by the four great clans.


This was the true regulation of Asura City where bloodline reigned supreme and strength conquered all.


“Chen Xiu, no wonder you staked your life to fight over the soul of ancient G.o.ddess Lakshmi at that time. In order to become a G.o.d, to rise above a branch family descendent of Morrow Clan.”


Li Yunmu looked at Chen Xiu’s back and calmly said.


After seeing everything in Asura City, he understood why was Chen Xiu so brutal towards mortals of Lakshmi City at that time. Everything was to obtain merits and finish the a.s.signment.
