Chu Li felt as if the two statues had come to life. It was as if they could see through him and knew that he was a fake Asura.
He felt an inexplicable chill down his spine as he felt something was wrong.
It was as if an invisible danger was approaching. His best option was to turn around and leave. He could not get close to these two strange statues.
However, he could not retreat now. Fortunately, there were only three female Asuras in the basilica. The Goddess's cultivation level was not high either.
Other than the three of them, there were no other Asuras. There were no Protectors in the basilica. It was as if they believed that no Asura could harm the two statues.
Chu Li thought about it and took another step forward with difficulty.
After these eleven steps, his cultivation level of the Asura Power Technique increased again. The sixth level of the Asura Power Technique had reached its peak and was infinitely close to the seventh level. He was only one step away from it. It was as if there was a thin layer of paper between them that could be broken with a gentle poke.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break this thin layer of paper.
The lady in white whispered, "If you want to reach the seventh level, you only need to touch the statue's hand lightly to obtain the inheritance."
Chu Li asked, "Left or right hand?"
"Both," the lady in white answered.
Chu Li raised his arm with difficulty and touched the left arm of the male Asura statue.
"Rumble …" He heard a loud sound beside his ear. It was like thunder. His body trembled as if he was really struck by lightning.
"Crack." There was a crisp sound as if something was broken. Then, the seventh level of the heart technique surged. In one breath, he passed the seventh level and reached the eighth level.
His cultivation level was far higher than the seventh level. He had been stuck at the seventh level for a long time. Now that he had broken through the barrier, he was able to reach the eighth level.
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a muffled sound. A red light rose from his body.
"Boom!" Another loud sound rang out, and an invisible force surged out again. This time, it was an extremely tyrannical and violent force.
The first time was to increase his cultivation level. This time, it was a violent attack. It was as if it could distinguish between friend and foe.
The force was too strong. Chu Li could not block it. He was sent flying and blood spurted out from his mouth.
He knew it was not good. His intuition was right.
"Who are you?!" The eyes of the woman in white suddenly lit up, and lightning shot out of them as she shouted in a deep voice.
Chu Li was knocked out of the basilica and landed at the bottom of the steps.
His body felt like it was falling apart. He could not use any strength and could only rely on his own strength to resist the corrosion.
The power of the earth seemed to have been restrained, and even the surrounding Spirit Qi was isolated. He couldn't borrow any power, and could only rely on his own strength to resist the erosion of this huge power.
A violent and tyrannical power ran through his body, and wherever it passed, he would be heavily injured.
He sighed helplessly. He now knew the reason. Just now, the Blood Fiend had flashed for an instant. The Light Pearl normally covered up his Blood Fiend, but when his cultivation base had suddenly increased, it had revealed a flaw.
The statue's power could see through Xue Sha, so it treated him as an enemy and attacked him, heavily injuring him in an instant.
As a goddess, the white-robed woman must know the crux of the matter.
He wanted to seal the acupoints of the lady in white to prevent her from exposing him, but he was powerless to do so. All of his strength was entangled by a violent and overbearing force that was devouring his inner energy.
Chu Li's mind raced. The lady in white must have seen through his disguise and found out the truth. It would be impossible to hide it from her.
He immediately turned the Asura Power Technique into the Heavenly Demonic Power. The Heavenly Demonic Power and the Asura Power Technique countered each other, so it should counter this power as well.
Moreover, he could conceal his identity by using the Heavenly Demonic Power.
The Asura and the Heavenly Man were like water and fire, and they were natural enemies. However, the relationship between the Asura and the Heavenly Demon was even more complicated. Gratitude and grudges were intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish them clearly.
If he was found out to be a Celestial Being, he would definitely be hunted down. But if he was found out to be a Celestial Demon, that might not be the case.
The woman in white, Su Hua, and Su Mei quickly floated out and stood on the steps to examine Chu Li.
"You've killed an Asura!" the white-clothed woman said solemnly.
Chu Li remained silent.
At this time, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. The best way was to remain silent.
"You're not a real Asura!" The woman in white frowned. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been injured by the statue. Who exactly are you?"
"Du Feng!" Chu Li called out.
The white-clothed woman said, "You are a Skyfiend?"
Chu Li slowly said, "What a great statue of Asura. It really lives up to its reputation!"
"Who are you?!" The white-clothed woman shouted. "You have ulterior motives. How dare you trespass the statue. You're an enemy of Asura!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Why are you so surprised, Divine Lady? It's just a joke."
"What joke?" The white-clothed woman frowned and stared at him.
It was her first time encountering such a situation. Someone dared to trespass in front of the statue. This was simply asking for trouble and seeking death. She did not expect this person to be a Skyfiend and not a Heavenly Man.
Chu Li said, "I heard that these two statues are mystical and have unbelievable abilities. I came here to verify it. It really lives up to its reputation!"
"But you've killed an Asura!" The white-clothed woman said coldly.
Only someone who had killed an Asura would be attacked in front of the Asura statue. Moreover, seeing how badly he was injured, he must have killed many Asuras. Otherwise, the statue's power would not have been so ruthless.
Chu Li said, "I have, but Asuras are immortal. Dying once is nothing. There's no need to make a fuss!"
"Young Master Du, you're wrong!" The white-clothed woman frowned. "An Asura's life is also a life. Although they're immortal, they're not truly immortal. … You've killed so many Asuras. This is a grave sin!"
Chu Li smiled. "Divine Lady, you want to kill me?"
"That's right!" The white-clothed woman said, "You must die."
Chu Li shook his head. "If you really kill me, aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two realms? The Heavenly Demonic Realm and Asura Realm aren't very peaceful now. If you start a conflict, it'll worsen the relationship between the two realms. High Lord Sui might not like it. "
Su Hua and Su Mei were stunned and quickly looked at the white-clothed woman.
They knew that Sui Miaozhu advocated to maintain a good relationship with the Heavenly Demonic Realm. That was because the Heavenly Demonic Realm was extremely useful to female Asuras. It was best to use the Heavenly Demonic Realm to cultivate the Asura Power Technique.
The white-clothed woman looked at him solemnly. "No wonder you dare to do this. You're fearless. Unfortunately, you're wrong!"
She pursed her lips and let out a long whistle.
The whistle was loud and clear. It traveled far.
Chu Li had yet to recover from the shock. The basilica and the surrounding plaza were like a forbidden area that prohibited spiritual energy from entering. If it were not for the fact that the Cloud Slashing Power was pure and was continuously devouring the violent and overbearing energy, he would have died by now.
The Cloud Slashing Power was slow and difficult to devour. His body was still injured, but he could already circulate his energy.
The whistle was heard. A moment later, ten Great Asuras appeared in front of the basilica. They fist saluted. "Divine Lady!"
"Kill him!" The white-clothed woman pointed at Chu Li and said calmly.
"Yes!" The ten Great Asuras were all dressed in grey. Their expressions were solemn and calm. They looked at Chu Li solemnly and then pounced on him.
Chu Li shouted, "Divine Lady, please reconsider!"
"If you kill an Asura, you'll have to pay with your life!" The white-clothed woman said.
The ten Great Asuras waved their Asura's Palm at Chu Li. Each of them was in charge of a different direction. Chu Li could not dodge.
