Chapter 69 - 69 68 Many Hardships Mara Asura Seeking First Subscription

69: Chapter 68: Many Hardships, Mara Asura (Seeking First Subscription) 69: Chapter 68: Many Hardships, Mara Asura (Seeking First Subscription) The night sky was a deep blue!

The sea of stars twinkled, each star shining brightly and beautifully, carrying an aura of purity that cleansed all beings and spirits.

The light emitting a blue glow gradually dissipated as well.

“Strange!”

“Where did that blue star just go?”

Goddess Lakshmi, her golden skirt fluttering, blinked her beautiful eyes as she turned around and flew in search of that blue starlight.

She had never seen such a beautiful blue star before.

If she could string it onto her bracelet, it would certainly look very nice!

Goddess Lakshmi searched all around her, not noticing a faint blue essence, elusive as if it could disappear at any moment, slipping into her graceful back like a little snake.

“What a pity, I couldn’t find it!”

“Only such a beautiful star would be worthy of my husband, the greatest in the world!”

Goddess Lakshmi shook her head, her beautiful face filled with disappointment.

…

On Earth.

The Sukhacara Sage, dressed in a white robe and holding a snake staff, walked slowly along the river’s edge.

By his side followed a young man, the unremarkable Galonimi.

“Jīnchuáng has died as well!”

The Sukhacara Sage spoke slowly.

In the last few centuries, he had come to realize that Jīnchuáng had grown stubborn to the point of madness.

He had given up on Jīnchuáng and instead chose to teach Antaka and Galonimi.

As for why he didn’t choose Jīnchuáng’s son, Poluo Keluota.

It’s just that, those who know, know!

Poluo Keluota was but a devoted follower of Vishnu.

Sukhacara and him, they simply couldn’t relate to each other.

A teacher of Asura teaching the King of Asura is like being in a romance.

If the values don’t align, you cannot forcefully bring them together!

The Sukhacara Sage and Galonimi stood side by side, coming to a stop and gazing towards the center of the river.

The river roared, the waves surged!

Endless white foam kept bubbling up, crashing into the shore with the waves to dissipate at their feet.

Antaka, his eyes covered in red cloth, hands raised and pressed together in prayer, balanced on one foot in the middle of the river in the posture of the golden rooster, engaged in arduous meditation.

“Praise to Brahma!”

“Praise to Brahma!”

…

The soft and continuous voice came from Antaka’s mouth, sounding devout and firm, as if it would go on forever.

“Teacher, big brother has been meditating here for seven hundred years.

Can he really succeed through such suffering?”

Galonimi asked with doubt in his voice.

The Sukhacara Sage fixed his gaze and nodded firmly.

“Do not doubt your elder brother!”

“Although Antaka cannot see, his eyes contain an unbelievable power of darkness.

Once this power awakens, it could be even greater than Jinmu, and even Jīnchuáng!”

“If he gains the Blessing Force in addition, your elder brother will have the chance to truly rule the Three Realms.”

The Sukhacara Sage spoke softly.

Hearing this, Galonimi’s eyes widened, his face filled with skepticism.

“Really?”

Galonimi tilted his head and murmured.

In his world.

His father, Jinmu, and his uncle, Jīnchuáng, were probably the most powerful Asuras in the world already.

Terrifying power!

Inexplicable blessings!

Even in the future, there might not be many Asuras who could rival them.

But now, the Sukhacara teacher was saying that the child his father had picked up from the wild, his feral elder brother, contained a power even greater than his father’s.

To be honest, he was very skeptical!

“It’s normal for you not to know!”

“The day Antaka appeared, the world was in darkness.

Only a peal of thunder echoed across the world, and he was born amidst this dark thunder.”

“This is why he is named ‘Antaka’, blind from birth, named after darkness.”

The teacher of Sukhacara spoke softly.

Antaka signifies ‘darkness.’

“He also has a connection with Mahadeva!”

Sukhacara, watching Antaka’s figure leave, spoke in a hushed tone.

What!

At these words, Galonimi’s eyes flew open, her gaze shocked as she looked towards Antaka, truly astounded.

Antaka actually had a relationship with Shiva!

Sukhacara nodded lightly.

He had already learned of the incident through meditation, using his wisdom to know what had occurred that day.

That day!

The wife of Mahadeva, Parvati, had covered Mahadeva’s eyes with her hands, causing the world to lose Shiva’s watchful gaze, plunging it into darkness instantly.

A bead of sweat from Mahadeva had also fallen, melding with Parvati’s power amidst the thunderous darkness, transforming into life.

That was Antaka!

“Power is important!”

“Even more crucial is that he is also cunning enough to deal with the Heavenly Emperor.”

The Sukhacara Sage said, his eyes intent.

He had seen it!

The Heavenly Emperor Indra now not only had power but also a sharp mind.

He had deceived both Sukhacara and Jīnchuáng in the past, causing their armies to retreat to Earth and letting the Devas escape.

Only a cunning Asura would have the wisdom to deal with the Heavenly Emperor.

Upon saying this, the Sukhacara mentor withdrew his gaze, turning to look at Galonimi instead.

“I shall also engage in arduous meditation.”

“You must pay close attention to Earth.”

The Sukhacara Sage said.

Upon hearing this, Galonimi, perplexed, quickly said, “Mentor, now is the time when you are needed the most, as Earth is without a leader!”

The Sukhacara Sage replied with a serene expression, his voice neither cold nor warm.

“The Devas possess Amrita, which grants them Undying Bodies.”

“If you continue to fight, the number of Asuras will only decrease.”

“I will meditate and beseech Shiva, seeking a Resurrection spell.

Only with it can Asuras stand against the Devas!”

The Sukhacara Sage said.

The advantage of Amrita was tremendous!

Even with Antaka, the Asuras could not kill a single Deva, whereas the Devas could always find an opportunity over the long run, even if it meant just stalling for time.

Galonimi closed her mouth and fell silent.

Hm!

Compared to the mentor, the lure of resurrection was stronger.

“Next, you shall assist Poluo Keluota and make sure he leads the Asuras to recuperate well and wait for the return of Antaka and me.”

Sukhacara continued to instruct.

After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, contemplating if anything had been overlooked.

Oh!

That’s right, Brahman too.

Although Poluo Keluota followed Vishnu, he was at least somewhat capable in combat, and with the support of many Asura Generals, Sukhacara was not worried that Brahman would cause any trouble from the shadows.

Even if Brahman staged a coup, it would be pointless!

Impulsive Brahman fancied himself wise but had no interest in the rigors of meditation, which made Brahman no cause for concern.

“There is nothing else to be said!”

“You may leave.”

The Sukhacara Sage stepped forward, progressing into the depths of Earth to undertake his ascetic practices.

“I thank you for your guidance, Mentor!”

With palms joined, Galonimi bowed slightly to the departing figure of Sukhacara.

Step!

Step!

Step!

The Sukhacara Sage took one step after another, venturing further into the depths of Earth.

He walked slowly over the scalding lava.

Suddenly, through the distorted, dense smoke of the molten lava, he saw the silhouette of an Asura.

This Asura had the head of a horse and the body of a man.

A giant battle-ax was embedded in the lava, its blade pointing skyward, and the Mara Asura stood on one foot on the blade, raising his hands high towards the heavens, praising the name of Goddess Parvati.

“Mara Asura?!”
