Ryuk had accepted fairly easily and found the task fair, but remembering the sect competition left him with a bad taste in his mouth. He still couldn't get around with being fine losing not because of skill, but background. Yet he knew that if he couldn't even swallow this small event how could he handle his future.
Patriarch Crystal said "We have already told Elder Fairo about his punishment so it is appropriate to tell you. He has been relieved of his position of formation head and his disciple has taken his place. You don't have to worry Elder Fairo personally assured you would be treated based on your skills in the formation division."
They were talking a bit more of other matters such as going into further detail on the sect competition and as to how he should behave and look.
Suddenly Riel rushed in with Fairo next to him.
They hurriedly bowed to the Patriarchs and said "Patriarchs emergency! The Demonic Cultivators and vampires have launched attacks against many of our kingdoms annexing many of them. We have currently lost the Deep sea empire, the Skylight empire and the Bull empire. The others need immediate assistance. We seek permission to send our disciples to handle them."
The Patriarchs were shocked but soon recovered "Permission granted. All disciples are to be sent to manage the empires. Limit casualties as much as possible and if we can't save the empire recover the resources and blow up the spiritual mines underneath. Tell me about their activities in the regions owned by the other sects."
Fairo replied "They have launched a full attack on all the sect, but we and the Lotus Buddha sect have received the most impact. I don't know if it's the other sects conspiring against us or if it's the demonic Cultivators thinking we are easy prey."
The patriarchs snorted and their aura rose "Those bastards! I'm sure It's them! Those demonic Cultivators are too scared to do anything otherwise."
Patriarch Crystal waved his hand and said "Anyway send our disciples out!"
...
The entire sect was called together and sent out except for a few everyone almost left in every direction.
Ryuk himself had also been sent, but Ryuk had more important thoughts that Killing demonic Cultivators. He needed to rush to Bull empire!
Ryuk said "Uncle governor please be alright! please! You can't die!"
Ryuk called out comet who had upgraded in rank suprisingly and flew like a bullet towards Bull empire. His home.
Ryuk was confused about one thing which was vampires. He had never heard of them before and didn't know what they were.
Black came out of the ring and lounged "Finally we are out of that sect! I can't stay another minute cooped up in that ring!"
Ryuk sighed and said "Hey we're going to fight not relax."
Black said "Yeah, yeah! Even though fighting isn't exactly fun for me it's better than being cooped up and doing nothing. i spent enough of my life in my head arranging formulas and Working out formations. Furthermore Killing demonic Cultivators isn't bad for me I can absorb their Yin and slowly become powerful. Furthermore as a Demon royal it's my duty to kill those disgusting mutants."
Ryuk asked "Mutants?"
Black said "Vampires. Demons are Yin beings, but vampires are mutant yin beings. Like how the mutant Yang being is a werewolf. The reason they are called mutants is because the Yin in their body is kind of counter productive and useless. For vampires they can't go out in sunlight when their is Yang outside. Werewolves can only use their power if they feel the power of Yin. it's very complicated and we demons and angels similarily are disgusted by them. The problem isn't that they are mutated. of course in the beginning stages mutants do show greater strength and capabilities, but as they grow the impurities and failures in their biology and bloodline show and thus create weakness. The problem isn't the strength or bloodline we demons aren't like angels who care solely about bloodline purity doing that."
Ryuk asked "That?"
Black said "Angels don't really need to breed sexually. They can, but normally they dont - half demons and Angels are some of the most apparent. They reproduce asexually. This maintains the blood purity. What happens is an angel splits a portion of his energy merging it with the energy of the universe and eventually an angel will be born. So yes Angels care alot about blood purity. Anyway we demons mostly care about strength, but the fact is they are weak and not only that they are so arrogant. They populate the mortal realm because they are so weak and are basically like cockroaches."
Ryuk said "You said mutated yin right?"
Black said "Yeah."
Ryuk pointed far away and said "Well I can sense large quantities of Yin qi there."
With Ryuk becoming a rank 2 devil his Qilin eyes became able to see much greater and even became capable to observing the Meridians of others. In truth a human had many meridians counting up to a million or so, but only the portal Meridian and the 8 main Meridian the rest were extremely small and interwoven on the blood vessels. They were so small and tight one would need exceptional eye sight to even see a glimpse. The Meridians that wrapped around the blood vessels travelled throughout the body and as small as they were the could carry pounds of qi at a time. To see them was already exceptional.
In truth Ryuk hadn't upgraded his Qilin blood and that left his confused, but he had threeexplanations. One due to the fact that the Qilin blood could also be said to belong to the bloodlines related to the soul by his soul upgrading his Qilin blood upgraded, or he had somehow gathered enough energy to upgrade where it was only a little short and any remaining Energy from the other beasts parts filled it and finally the last reason it had naturally advanced. Like humans as they advanced even though they didn't train their bodies generally, they still became unbelievably strong simply from requirement and baptism from qi. A lake needed a suitable medium after all and sometimes the water from a stream fills deserts.
Ryuk knew that any race even humans had a natural distaste towards things even slightly different than the norm. For example their was a branch of humanity who after years living in the sea absorbing the rich water energy and the cold yin energy mutated making fish men. Their Cultivation was said to be equal to normal humans, but due to them feasting on the rich and powerfully pure sea creatures as well as being exposed to the rich beneficial energies for generations their bodies and other unique abilities over shadowed humans. Ryuk had read about crusades humans had done to kill these foreigners who looked like them, but of course the other party thinking themselves dominant similarily did so. Ryuk wasn't sure if there were any in this realm that had done this, but there ought to be one off shot of the human race.
In fact although the human race was considered insultingly weak it was considered an ancient bloodline existing since the dawn of life. Bloodlines worked similar to Medicinal fruits the longer one who carried a bloodline lived the more energy the bloodline absorbed and thus more potent abilities. Therefore although compared to the creators progeny or the 1000 pinnacle race bloodlines they were trivial they still held some weight. That was how humanity in some eons had formed large dynasty's and nearly conquered the heavens with unbelievable geniuses and the rich ancient bloodline as well as the numerous inheritances of human venerables it couldn't be shocking, thus even if these other off shoots had a tad of an advantage against Humans it truly didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
...
The Bull empire was said to have not originally been part of the Continent having been built on the back of a large and Heavenly bull that failed to charge into the heavens. Of course this was just the word of story tellers.
Large mountains fell on the edges of the Bull empire making it truly Bull like with it's natural defense like state.
It stood at the southern edge of the of the Continent or rather Planet Ryuk was on. It was called a continent as all the land masses had stuck together Makin it just one large mound of land and sea with only space above.
Bull empire were known for their fierce and near barbaric nature, but at the same time they had extreme desire to extravagance and grandiose with golden palaces filled with diamonds as wallpaper for the royal palace. The citizens similarly enjoyed an extravagant life without much worry as their military was well known. Many youths joined the army with dreams of protecting this land of gold as a Great general.
It was truly comparable to a kingdom even Midas the gold touch would even say was worthy.
Yet this land of wealth, power and peace was now razed to the ground with nothing intact.
Fires had left the orginally shining city darken into a dirty filth.
Even now as the fires had passed large plumes of smoke rose and burped into the fresh air. Screams could be heard violently everywhere from the deepest parts to the forests surrounding it.
Ryuk knew of what tragedies would fall on the people of the Bull empire, but frankly he could not care.
Cultivators inheritly separated themselves from such matters unless it related to them personally.
Some did this to keep a calm heart and practice without demons, some as a natural consequence of Cultivation and separation from the secular, some even had been tempered in this same cruelty and it's bitter taste was now bland.
Ryuk could be said to be a sort of all three. He was still a child in reality, but he had seen enough cruelty that this level of mortal cruelty seemed all but pitiful. Killed and tortured? Ryuk was not allowed to even hold his life freely. He had to sign a life Death contract with the universe. Him a 16 year old child had seen the frivolousness of gods with their vengeance, the greed of mortals and the pitifulness of love. He had also been cast into a cruel game of clawing and mawing. Of course Ryuk wouldn't say he had the most cruel fate, but he had endured enough that war held no special burden in his heart nor did he wish to spoil his beauty in the folly of fools.
Furthermore the Tao accepted all and although Ryuk had yet to bind with it he had already changed.
Ryuk closed his eyes and concentrated on a memory.
He seemed to be pulling apart various wires in his head and slowly a sparkling fragment was seen floating.
Ryuk said with no emotion "A dream fragment. It's enough to find uncle Governor."
Ryuk then closed his eyes and sent his soul beeping as if a radio tower.
Before with Ryuks soul he could easily reach thousands of kilometers, but now he could even hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Searching frantically for a specific vibration similar to the dream fragment.
Suddenly Ryuk opened his eyes and stared in a direction a faint shade of worry fell on his face. He did some quick estimations and them jumped off Comet.
Know at this point Comet was over 50,000 feet in the air. Although foundation stage Cultivators could technique fly for a little bit using flying swords it was by far too unstable and too quick for exhaustion.
Even with Ryuks monsterous body he would be a bug hitting a car becoming nothing but paste.
Suddenly two red wings sprouted outwards. One a bright red as if the color of a woman's blush or a show of her loss of purity, it carried an extremely dominant aura mixed with one of a empress. One would never consider this aura that seemed to be looking down on all creation as the auea of the general concepts of a woman. Of course it wasn't! This was a Phoenix among women. An empress who deigned her own destiny and listened to no man. She held the greatest competency and also the greatest beauty. Men dared no adverse thought not because they couldn't, but that this woman was beyond all rational thinking yet she held a gentleness towards all.
The other was a dark red akin to the deep red of an Emperor. The emperor of fowl. The emperor carried an uncaring and unending feeling of supremacy. It looked down on Creation not as it seemed as it bore creation in the first place. It seemed to be an extremely Yang like aura full of the powerful and domineering heat of Yang, but laughably it was not. It was neither Yang nor Yin it was the coalesce of the two extremes.
Ryuk turned into a red bullet falling off into the horizon a simple whisper left "10,000 km to the east come there as soon as possible."
