Ah Chun opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by a world of grey. Ghastly howls could be heard from all around her. Everywhere around her was dry land with withered trees. Sticking out of the ground was countless swords. All of them were chipped and rusting away. Off into the distance was a giant black sword that had chains wrapped around it, while the ends of the chains reached up towards the sky disappearing into the grey clouds above.
"Where exactly am I?" Ah Chun was confused she only remembered seeing Fu Jin before hearing the words "Queen Asura you have finally awoken." and then she heard the chant she heard when she was younger. After that, she does not remember anything that had happened and now she found herself in a world of grey.
Ah Chun did not know where she was or how she got here. She could only look around once again to try to figure out her surroundings. But everywhere she looked it looked the same. The only thing that stood out was the giant sword off into the distance.
"Since I do not know where I am, I can only go to the one landmark that can be seen." Making her decision Ah Chun took a step forward and walked towards the giant black sword.
The more Ah Chun looked at the giant sword the more she thought she recognized it. It struck a close resemblance to the sword she always used but it was different. Since this sword had a wider blade and seemed to have more intricate designs on the hilt and guard. Ah Chun was in awe at how beautiful the sword looked. The black sheen on the blade was as dark as space itself. The dragon coiling around the hilt gave off a terrifying aura. Even at a distance, Ah Chun could feel the sword intent radiating from the sword.
Step by step Ah Chun made her way closer to the giant black sword. All the while ghastly howls and whispers could be heard all around her. But when Ah Chun looked around to see what could be making so much noise, there was nothing to be seen but the chipped rusted swords in the ground.
Ah Chun's curiosity got the better of her as she reached out and touched one of the swords that were closest to her. Instantly a scene of a man in white robes standing amidst the battlefield surrounded by millions upon millions of cultivators all fighting against one another formed in her head. The man waved his sword sending beam after beam of sword lights out in front of him reaping the lives of thousands. The man laughed maniacally as he continued his slaughter. Only to be surrounded and killed by the point of a hundred swords. Ah Chun had never seen such a scene before in her life nor her samsara countless lives. The scene she just witnessed seemed to have come from ages past when a massive war had broken out.
To see such a scene Ah Chun was surprised. So many cultivators fighting for who knows what reason. Blood covered the land while the sky was tinged in red. Such an epic battle would stun anyone. Shaking her head Ah Chun cleared her mind and continued on.
She touched many more swords as she passed them to see the same scenes over and over of different cultivators as they fought in a massive battle. Each of these cultivators died almost in the same way. Some stabbed while others decapitated and some even got chopped into pieces. The battle was gruesome. If Ah Chun had not witnessed such things in her samsara she was sure to lose her stomach from such scenes.
Ah Chun continued on it seemed as if she had been walking for days. The more she walked the more it seemed she was not making any progress. On what seemed to be the fifth day Ah Chun had finally arrived in front of the giant black sword. The size of the sword compared to the size of Ah Chun was like night and day. She was like a tiny spec of sand when standing in front of such a monstrosity of a sword.
Not being able to resist Ah Chun reached out her hand and placed it onto the giant black sword. But as soon as her hand touched the sword an excruciating pain shot through her body as her spirit power suddenly burst out of her. Ah Chun was scared of what was happening and wanted to retract her hand but found she couldn't! She could not remove her hand from the giant black sword. But as she was fighting with everything she had to numb down the pain more words sounded off in her head!
"Queen Asura you have finally awoken… The time is nigh… Your coronation will now commence."
The voice sounded off in her head over and over again. The pain coursing through her body was getting stronger and worse than when she had to deal with the medical baths! Ah Chun was gnashing her teeth as she tried her best not to make any sounds. Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead as her face started to turn pale.
Changes started to occur inside Ah Chun's her bloodline surfaced as a trace grey smoke started to seep out of it. The smoke slowly started to spread throughout Ah Chun's body seeping into every bone, muscle, and cell. Ah Chun was in so much pain she did not know any of this was going on since she was only concentrating on trying to numb the pain.
As time passed by Ah Chun finally could no longer take the pain her vision grew dark as her eyelids slowly closed as she fainted. Her body still in a standing position held up by the sword due to her contact with the blade.
When Ah Chun opened her eyes once again her eyes grew wide as she looked down at her self.
