Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

Chapter 466: Eternal Rivalry Between Brothers

(A/N: CHECK OUT NEW FANFIC OF MINE!)

(New Fanfic: "Limitless Path: Tenma Ascension!")

--- Chapter 463 ---

Indra faced an endless wave of Spirit Beasts. Sometimes, he would fire a strong lightning blast, causing an explosion. Then, Indra would use the Chaotic Divine Storm Avatar to cause a devastating blow to the wave. 

His expression never changed, but deep inside, he was shocked. 

Indra believed he was one of the strongest people in the Shinobi World, wielding the power to destroy it given enough time. He knew about the Otsutsuki Clan and was eager to fight them. 

However, he didn't expect his Grandfather, the Ancestor of Humanity, to appear out of nowhere and wish to reincarnate everyone from the Pure Land. 

Indra has become three, if not four times, stronger after staying in the semi-virtual realm for two days. 

Two days!

We are talking about two freaking days!

Indra knew just how difficult it was to increase his strength. He sacrificed a lot of things, his dear friend, his life, and many others to get minuscule improvement. 

Yet absorbing two spirit rings is enough to boost Indra's base strength immensely.

The irony. Indra felt bitter inside. 

Indra only needed to recover his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he could do something he couldn't do in the past. 

Even then, Indra doubted he could achieve it. He glanced at the hovering figure in the sky, watching over his idiot brother and him. 

'If my strength could increase this much, how strong actually is he?' He pondered to himself. 

"Big Brother, watch me! Having a real body is the best, after all!" Ashura rushed toward the wave and brute-forced his way to the strongest Spirit Beast, a 50,000-year-old Gorilla. 

Indra's lips twitched slightly, 'Ashura, you're an adult. Act like one, you idiot!'

Ashura and the Gorilla clashed physically, exchanging punches and kicks in the area. Their attacks caused shockwaves, rappelling any Spirit Beasts who wanted to sneak attack on Ashura. 

Ashura's Martial Soul is yang-attributed. It supported him with endless vigor, not losing to those ancient monsters with immense lifespans. 

His entire body is 'thoroughly' coated with dharmic energy, allowing him to exchange blows without getting injured. Even Indra must use his spirit skill to break Ashura's extreme physique. 

Frankly, Ashura also couldn't easily land an attack on Indra because the latter was incredibly fast. 

A fast, lightning-coated stoat wanted to sneak attack Indra, but the latter tilted his head to the left and sliced the Spirit Beast into half.

"You merely adopted lightning and thunder." Indra snorted at the dead stoat. "I was born with it." 

BAM!

The Gorilla Ashura fought earlier suddenly flew past Indra and ceased breathing after crashing into a crowd of Spirit Beasts. 

"Again, Big Brother. You're petty." Ashura commented while rolling his shoulders. "Aaah, that's a good warm-up." 

Indra indifferently stared at Ashura and responded, "Do you want to fight me, Ashura?" 

"We haven't settled our conflicts." 

"Even with many reincarnations, our Chakra fought embarrassingly." 

"Only some surpassed us..."

"You have people like Hashirama and Naruto." 

"And I have people like Madara and Sasuke." 

"But from now on, it will be different." 

Contrary to many people's belief, Indra and Ashura actually could discern their reincarnations. Of course, they could only watch as conflict settled and repeated. 

However, as Indra said, their conflicts will be different this time.

Ashura smiled at his older brother, "Let's do it." 

"I will accompany you like the old days." 

Indra scoffed at the idiot and stared at Yunlong, "Ancestor Yunlong, you wouldn't interfere with our fights, right?" 

Yunlong shrugged, "Fight to your heart's content. You won't die in the semi-virtual realm. That's the rule I made when creating this place." 

"Good." Indra nodded at Yunlong and suddenly slashed Ashura with a jet-black saber. He respected this god-like Ancestor because he didn't meddle with his personal interest. 

BOOM!

Ashura was sent flying like a ragdoll and landed a few hundred meters away, crossing his arms. He frowned and looked at a slight cut on his arms.

"How unfair." Ashura bitterly chuckled in his heart. 

"You actually attack me when I'm not ready." 

Indra summoned his Chaotic Divine Storm Avatar and said, "Who cares about fairness in real battle? Today, we will decide which one of us is stronger!"

"ASHURAAAA!!" 

"Then, Come! OLDER BROTHER!" Ashura also summoned his Benevolent Buddha-Faced Asura. 

Indra activated his 1st spirit skill, Eye of Storm. 

A thunderstorm appeared in the sky, revolving into a black tornado that swept the surrounding area. 

Ashura solemnly looked around. He felt like his older brother's eyes were spying from every direction. 

Suddenly, a blue thunderbolt struck Ashura. 

"Not good!" Ashura punched the thunderbolt into scattering electricity, but two more appeared from his blind spot. 

Boom! Boom!

He gritted his teeth because the thunderbolts zapped him with intense electricity. 

Even though they didn't penetrate Ashura's skin, the lightning energy felt painful. 

"Two people can play this game." Ashura finally used his 1st spirit skill, the Golden Glory Day. A golden light exploded with him in the middle, pushing the dark thunderstorm away. 

Soon, the semi-virtual realm separated into two areas. 

Yes, Indra and Ashura's 1st spirit skills are actually Domain-type Skills. 

It shows just how ridiculously broken they are.

"Pillar of Heaven!" Ashura shouted, firing a collective spiraling golden sphere in a white outer shell.

Indra was nowhere to be seen in his domain, but he knew Ashura's Pillar of Heaven was nothing to scoff at. It possessed a large area of effect destruction capability. 

Ashura probably used this attack to find his location. 

The white outer shell vanished, causing the flurry of golden spheres to spiral into a thunderstorm. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Five golden explosions struck the thunderclouds, creating five destructive pillars.

Yet Indra is still nowhere to be seen. 

Thud!

Ashura felt a horrible hunch and coldness in his chest. 

Swoosh!

Indra appeared out of nowhere, striking Ashura's chest heavily. 

"How did you-! Ashura's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't sense his older brother's presence at all. 

Indra added more force to his strike, "Your first mistake is assuming I was in the thunderclouds." 

BAM!

Ashura got sent flying again, coughing a mouthful of blood. He landed on his feet and wiped the blood from his mouth. 

"I see... The Spirit Beast's corpses." Ashura spotted a pile of Spirit Beast's corpses nearby. 

"After using his domain, he must hide in the corpses."

"He made me think he was in the thunderclouds by attacking me with three thunderbolts." 

"Uugh, that was painful." Ashura groaned, patting his bruised chest. That attack didn't pierce through, but Indra sure is heavy-handed by injecting Chaotic Lightning Energy into his internal organs. 

Indra appeared near Ashura and held a black saber, ready to hack the latter. 

To Indra's surprise, Ashura didn't dodge and let the black saber hit his shoulder blade. 

Fwip! Crack!

Ashura grabbed Indra by his clothes and headbutted him.

"Kuugh!" Indra was stunned. 

Ashura seized his chance and created a golden rasengan, slamming it on his brother's stomach.

BOOM!

Indra got sent flying this time. 

He also coughed blood. 

Indra ignored the pain and injuries mid-air, pulling a dark-colored bow from thin air. Three thunderbolts rested on the bowstrings, and he fired them at Ashura. 

Ashura used the flicker steps technique and dodged barely. He clenched his hand and revealed his 2nd spirit skill, Asura's Light Golden Body. 

SWOOOSH!

Ashura's body becomes like real gold. 

He charged forward and made contact with the thunderbolts, crashing into them like they were some leaves.

Indra's eyes widened because he didn't know his younger brother had such a spirit skill. 

'This guy. He hides his trump card from me.' Indra thought to himself.

'Unfortunately, you're not the only one with a trump card!'

Indra also used his second spirit skill, Thunder God Manifestation.

Soon, Indra transformed into a literal manifestation of a Thunder God and descended to the ground with lightning arcs all over him. 

He kicked down, creating an image of a blue whirlwind. 

"ASHURAAAAAAAA!!"

"INDRAAAAAAAAA!!" 

Ashura's punch met with Indra's kick, causing a muffled voice on the battlefield. 

BOOOOOOOM!!

Shockwave produced, sweeping the area in chaos.

Yunlong watched the shockwaves kill the remaining Spirit Beasts as the brothers separated. 

Indra crashed to the ground with a burnt right leg, having charred bones exposed.

Meanwhile, Ashura is no better because he wasted half of his body and got 70% of his internal organs damaged. 

Ashura had a wry look as he fainted on the spot. 

Indra stood up with difficulty, "T-This is my win..." 

And he also fainted. 

Yunlong shook his head at this scene helplessly, "This will not be their last fight. I bet my money on it. Their rivalry is eternal." 

"That's just how brotherhood is."
