Ascension Of The Immortal Asura

Chapter 570 Calamitous Visions

“Is that so?’ John replied calmly, not completely caught off guard by what Iris had just said. “Just what kind of eye’s do you have? You can see Qi, you can see through walls, you can see visions of the future. It sounds beyond impressive.”

“I’m not sure what eyes I have exactly,” Iris replied with an unsure tone. “I asked the Grand Elder about it, but even he didn’t know.”

“That unique huh?” John mused as he fell into silence once more.

Just like Innate Variant Bodies and Essence Attribute Bodies, there were many types of eyes in the world. Some could scry into the future, some could peer into the past, some could see with clarity far beyond what a normal cultivator could achieve, some could see things unseen by the naked eye. These eye types had been documented throughout history, just like variant bodies and attribute bodies. For Iris’s eyes to still be a mystery indicated that they were an incredibly rare variant, something not considered common knowledge.

Iris glanced at Chase and Adam for a moment, which John picked up on what she was thinking._.

“I trust both of them with my life,” John said to Iris. “Anything that you can tell me, you can tell them.”

Adam and Chase felt a warm feeling seep into their bodies, as John expressed the brotherly friendship the three of them had.

Iris remained silent for a moment again, before she turned to Adam.

“As much as I hate to admit it, I need your help right now. Can you erect a sound negating formation, as well as a formation that stops any spying on us?” Iris asked, not wanting to ask Adam for help, but not having another choice.

A pride look quickly replaced the look of surprise on Adam’s face, as his hand rested on his waist and his chest puffed up. “Hahaha, of course I can do something as trivial as that. Do you know who you’re speaking to?”

Clearly he was happy to display his formation talents, as well be called on for assistance, especially from Iris. Adam quickly set about setting up his formation, which took around thirty minutes. He etched a complicated series of formation runes in the sand beneath their feat, and then placed formation disks and crystal power sources at many nodes in the formation. After setting everything up, Adam injected his Qi into the formation, which lit up with brilliant light.

A white barrier surrounded the four of them, blocking all Qi and sound from exiting or entering. John nodded his head in approval at the barrier, as he could tell it was quite impressive. Although Adam was useless for the most part, even John had to admit that Adam’s talent in formations was beyond impressive.

Iris inspected the barrier as well, and nodded her head in approval, despite not wanting to praise Adam. Her gaze shifted to Adam, who stared back in unconcealed pride.

“How good is this barrier? Could someone spy on us without us knowing?” Iris asked. Clearly what she had to say was incredibly important.

“It would take someone in the Dao Transformation Realm to be able to spy without me knowing,” Adam replied confidently. “Af for someone in the Heaven Tribulation Realm, I would be able to detect their intrusion. The same could not be said for a physical barrier, but spying barriers are much harder to breach unnoticed.”

“Good,” Iris replied while nodding her head. Her gaze shifted back to John, as a serious look appeared on her face.

“Do these visions involve what you showed me during the entrance exam?” John asked calmly.

“They do,” Iris replied without hesitation.

“Visions? What visions?” Adam chimed in, unable to contain his curiosity.

“It’s…kind of hard to explain,” Iris replied, unsure of where to start.

“Why don’t you just show them, like you showed me?” John suggested. “Although I would like to see the vision again if possible.”

“Sure,” Iris replied as she stepped forward and reached out towards John. Her finger tapped his forehead, and once again John saw the visions he had seen last time.

The visions depicted humans, demons, bizarre creatures far more terrifying than demons, a golden-armored god, destruction, death, ruin, and…John. Each vision lasted for only an instant before moving onto the next, but it lasted long enough to see that John was included in most of the visions, and was clearly fighting against the others depicted.

The visions containing John depicted him from behind, however, his aura was unmistakable. His body was taller, stronger, and slicked with blood in each vision. Long black hair flowed behind his head, while a scythe with a blood red blade and black handle rested in his firm grip.

In the visions that did not contain John, all that could be seen was calamitous destruction on an unprecedented scale, a world so scarred from battle, ruin, and savagery that it was on the verge of collapse. Rivers of blood flowed as freely as water, while corpses littered the earth as far as the eye could see.

Just as fast as the visions came, they left, leaving John feeling quite strange. It was as if he had just lived another life briefly, before being brought back. Iris walked over to Adam and Chase as well, and tapped their foreheads as well. The same visions flooded their minds, and Adam and Chase couldn’t help but collapse to their knees, panting raggedly from what they had just seen.

Fear was clearly etched on their faces, as the sinister creatures and scenes of destruction were almost too much for them to handle. Only after a long while did the two of them calm down and stand back on their feet. However, both seemed slightly pale, not fully recovered from what they had seen.

“Just…what was that?” Adam spoke up after a long while, breaking the silence.

“They’re visions…of the future…my future,” John replied before Iris could, his face calm and voice steady.
