At some unknown time, Chen Zijin arrived at the World 33.
She was right behind Wolong and the others.
When she heard Xuan Lan's words, Chen Zijin immediately widened her eyes, her whole face full of disbelief.
"Ghost is Asura?", Chen Zijin ran to the front of the three of them, utterly baffled, "Isn't Zhang Yue the reincarnation of Asura? In this world, how could there possibly be two Asuras existing at the same time?"
Hearing Chen Zijin say this actually made Hidden Dragon and the others feel a bit surprised.
"Master actually told you about his Asura identity?"
"Looks like Master really trusts you."
Chen Zijin said, "It wasn't him who told me, I guessed it myself."
"No, since now it's already been confirmed that Zhang Yue is not Ghost, and you're saying Ghost is Asura, what does this mean?"
Zhang Yue's Asura identity was already his greatest secret.
Now, even this secret is known to Chen Zijin, which also made Wolong realize: there was no longer any secret worth hiding from Chen Zijin.
He then opened his mouth to Chen Zijin, "Zero is Zero, Asura is Asura."
"Zero was also Asura at the same time, but Zero is not a professional revived by the Resurrection God Stone; Zero borrowed another's flesh body to revive Asura's will, so the real Asura's body still remained fixed in a state from one hundred years ago."
"Now, it's obvious someone used his will to occupy Asura's flesh body, therefore, two Asuras appeared at the same time."
Chen Zijin's face was full of disbelief, "There's such a thing?"
Even Wolong and the others dared not believe it, yet this was a fact they had no choice but to believe.
Because only this explanation made the most sense.
From the start, when they discovered the Three Main Gods had been released, Wolong and the others specifically went to the place where the Three Main Gods had originally been sealed, and found that the Guardian had been killed, the Three Main Gods had already fled without a trace.
But the Guardian was the most powerful king-level BOSS in the Otherworld, and the place sealing the Three Main Gods had magic permissions, only the person who sealed them could enter.
And the ones who sealed the Three Main Gods were only Zhang Yue, Wolong, Hidden Dragon, and Xuan Lan.
This meant that in this world, there was no fifth person who could enter the sealed place and lift the seal.
Therefore, if the one who entered the sealed place and released the Three Main Gods was Asura, it would make sense.
Looking across the world, aside from Zero, only Asura could possess the strength to solo kill a king-level BOSS of that level.
Secondly, the first time they clashed with the Flowing Gold Warrior, they discovered he used [Sword Sacrifice], a warrior skill first possessed by Asura a hundred years ago, and extremely rare in today's world.
Later, when using the Resurrection God Stone could not be used to resurrect [Asura], it showed that Asura was alive.
Most directly, was his power.
Within that level of domain, the only one qualified to be Zhang Yue's enemy was himself, Asura.
And Ice Emperor's discovery directly verified 100%: Ghost was the Flowing Gold Warrior, and the Flowing Gold Warrior was Asura.
"No one knows Master better than us," Hidden Dragon said, "A hundred years ago, Master, relying only on an epic-class profession, surpassed us three legendary-class professionals, and achieved world-famous, huge achievements, single-handedly defeating a level-nine beast tide, setting records no one has broken in a hundred years afterward, possessing world-destroying power, because…"
"He had a forbidden spell unique in the entire world, the Devouring Body."
"Devouring Body?", Chen Zijin had obviously never heard of this skill.
Because every forbidden spell in the Otherworld is unique.
And in history, Asura was the first professional in the Otherworld to obtain a forbidden spell.
Xuan Lan said, "The one who possesses the Devouring Body can, after killing a monster, convert the monster's power into their own power."
"And the entire devouring process is: the dead monster will turn into bones, after completely absorbing its essence, be burned entirely by flames, as if it never existed in this world, completely merging into part of the devourer. The Devouring Body has no limit, it can infinitely devour."
Hearing this, Chen Zijin exclaimed, "What a powerful forbidden spell!"
Because Chen Zijin's [Crystal Love] has an effect similar to the Devouring Body, it can also absorb monsters' power through killing them, converting it into one's own power.
However, Chen Zijin's Crystal Love has an absorption limit tied to her level. Once the corresponding level's absorption limit is reached, she cannot continue absorbing monster power.
Only by increasing her own level can she continue to absorb power.
But according to Xuan Lan, the Devouring Body actually has no limit, it can absorb infinitely.
This setting means that even a trash, as long as they have the Devouring Body, can step into becoming a peerless powerhouse.
Of course, in truth, trash has no qualification to obtain a forbidden spell.
Only someone already strong enough can come into contact with even greater power.
At this moment, Chen Zijin finally understood why a hundred years ago, Asura could be seen as a god in the eyes of the world.
"If that's the case, then if the Asura from a hundred years ago didn't die after defeating the level-nine beast tide, wouldn't he have become even more godlike?"
"Yes," Wolong said, "Absorbing and converting the entire level-nine beast tide into his own power, if Master didn't die, at the very least he could have increased his strength tenfold on the original basis."
Hearing this answer, Chen Zijin couldn't help but take in a sharp breath of cold air.
At this time, Hidden Dragon said, "It's just, how do I remember that Master's Devouring Body could only be used to devour monsters? How did he manage to use the Devouring Body to devour professionals?"
"After all, he's not the real Asura, he's just occupying Asura's flesh body," Wolong said, "This should be the effect after he altered it with his own power."
Hidden Dragon was furious, "Just which bastard occupied Master's body? Let me find out, and I'll beat him to death."
And at this time, Chen Zijin suddenly came to a realization, "I understand! I understand!"
"So, Asura, oh no, that bastard who occupied Asura's divine body, lured all the world's professional powerhouses to the Hell Gladiator Arena for the purpose of killing them inside the arena, then using the Devouring Body to devour their power to strengthen himself!"
Xuan Lan said, "According to the current situation, after he occupied Brother Yue's body, his strength, like the Three Main Gods, was weakened. With his current strength, he can't match today's high-level professionals, and only by cross-tier absorbing the power of high-level professional powerhouses is it the fastest way to strengthen himself."
"The level-reset setting of the Hell Gladiator Arena just happens to make up for his inability to cross-tier kill high-level professionals, making all level-500, Tier 9 professionals fall into level-175 prey."
Xuan Lan's words only made Chen Zijin feel fearful afterward.
"This guy… is he really this smart?"
